For a moment, He Zhi and I were the only two people left in the room.
He Zhi was still biting lightly with his white teeth, and looked at me with red eyes.
I became even more panicked and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just said that this is where Brother Jiang has gained experience. Brother Jiang is more advanced in Yin and Yang than me, and Mr. Tianyuan is already famous. He is only half sure." If you can come out alive, even if you add me, you won't be much more sure of it."
"That place is very dangerous. You don't know Yin Yang, so the danger is too great."
"Then you just think that if something happens to you, I will just survive?" He Zhi bit her lips tighter, raised her head, and her eyelashes trembled.
"Did you promise grandpa, or are you going to break your promise?" Her voice suddenly choked up.
My whole body froze, and the guilt in my heart made it feel like a stone was stuck in my throat.
After calming down, I held her shoulders and solemnly told her that I would definitely take good care of her, and that Jiang Pan and I would definitely be able to come out without any trouble.
He Zhi was silent for a moment and then said: "You said you are not sure, how can you say for sure? Moreover, that place must be extremely dangerous, and you two have no skills. Onmyoji is useful for the evil corpse in the Yin Mansion. If there is something else in the mountain Where's the danger?"
"This..." For a moment, I really didn't know how to settle it with He Fei.
"Don't think of me as a weak woman. We worked together to deal with the Huo family's affairs before. Why do you think now that I can only hide behind you?" He Zhi's eyebrows knitted together.
What she said really shocked me.
What He Zhi said is right, she is indeed not weak, but most of the things we encountered recently were solved by onmyoji. Some time ago, Liu Tianniu was following me, so I ignored her skills.
Coupled with my guilt towards Granny He and some inexplicable reasons, the first thing I consider when something happens is He Zhi's safety, so subconsciously, I always don't want He Pheasant to be exposed to danger.
But when it comes to dangerous situations that require skill, the ghost woman is really more powerful.
Moreover, the hag not only has skills, but also knows the rules of the dead. The hag herself is a zombie-fighting existence...
Only then did I straighten my thoughts.
When He Zhi said he wanted to follow us just now, Jiang Pan didn't say no, which also explained the details. Jiang Pan probably thought he could take He Zhi with him.
But he probably went out directly without interfering with my opinions.
After thinking about this clearly for a moment, I let out a heavy breath.
He looked at He Fei and said solemnly: "I promise you to follow me, but if there is really danger, you must leave when I ask you to leave."
The grievance on He Fei's face instantly gave way to a hint of joy.
Immediately afterwards, she put her hand on the ghost sword at her waist, with a solemn expression.
"If there is danger, we must leave together."
I wanted to say something else, but He Zhi ignored me, turned around and got out of the thatched cottage door, his feet moving extremely fast.
I quickly followed him out and saw Jiang Pan in the courtyard at a glance. He was still holding the tortoise shell in his hand, as if he was calculating something.
He Zhi immediately stopped without making any noise. I also calmed down and did not disturb Jiang Pan.
After a while, Jiang Pan put away the tortoise shell. He first told Gou Xuan on the side: "Ten miles upstream of the Red River, there is a village and town that is plagued by foreign objects in the water. You can deal with it this time and settle down there until this trip." I’ll go see you when I get back.”
After a short pause, Jiang Pan explained to Gou Xuan that we were going on a trip, and when we came back, we were going to other places, so we basically didn’t have time to take him with us. Moreover, corpse fishermen were good at water things, and other places were not very friendly to corpse fishermen. The danger is too great. I immediately understood that Jiang Pan was trying to settle Gou Xuan.
Gou Xuan's eyes clearly showed a bit of disappointment, but he still bowed obediently and said, "I understand, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Pan didn't delay any longer and asked Gou Xuan to set off immediately.
Gou Xuan turned around, bowed to He Zhi and me, and then left with firm steps.
He Zhi walked up to Jiang Pan and said, "Mr. Jiang, Yin and Yang and I have already reached an agreement. I will go with you."
I didn't say anything more, just thinking that this line of work must be extremely cautious.
Jiang Pan nodded thoughtfully and said: "I need to make some preparations. Brother Xian, you can go find the attendant who drives the car for you. He has been following you for a long time and we have a tacit understanding. I don't need to ask the people from Honghe to prepare the car." horse."
I immediately said a good word and left with He Zhi to find Huang Qi.
Honghe Town is not a big place. When Huang Qi delivered food before, he said that he would be waiting for us near the entrance of the town. If anything happens, we can go directly to him.
Not long after, He Zhi and I arrived at the entrance of the town. Huang Qi was indeed squatting at the entrance of the town, waiting.
When he learned that we were going to travel, he went to prepare a lot of dry food and water bags, and then we drove the carriage back to the thatched house to pick up Jiang Pan.
When we left Honghe Town, the sun had already set to the west.
Jiang Pan briefly explained the itinerary. We need to go upstream along the Red River. After arriving at Panjiang, we will have to drive for two days to reach our destination.
Along the way, Jiang Pan had been sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed and concentrating. He Zhi asked Jiang Pan some questions from time to time. Jiang Pan had a kind expression and basically answered all questions.
After arriving, He Fei opened another bag that he carried with him. The things inside were mostly special objects, including alms bowls, porcelain bowls, knives, and some things I couldn't name.
But I quickly recognized that package. Wasn't it the same thing that was inside his coffin when he was in despair?
I also recalled that Paperman Xu asked He Fei to hold the package carefully.
Jiang Pan also looked at him a lot, and there was even more surprise in his eyes.
I was actually hesitant. Logically speaking, these things couldn't be used more often, but seeing He Zhi's serious expression, I didn't want to say more, lest I hurt her.
I saw He Fei take out a few items and put them into her pocket. She finally tied the package tightly and sealed it.
Only then did He Pheasant raise her head. There was joy in her eyes, a confident smile on her lips, and she said in a serious tone: "I will definitely protect your safety, so don't worry, you two."
Jiang Pan laughed dumbly, nodded and said: "Miss He is so chivalrous, I can see the tricks of the ghost woman."
I also nodded to He Fei, but I was no less cautious.
Two days passed by in a flash.
In the evening of the next day, Jiang Pan sat outside the car door and began to give Huang Qi directions from time to time.
When our carriage stopped, there was a long river on the right and a town road diagonally entering the mountain on the left.
An archway stands in front of the town road, with the three characters "Guanshan Town" written on it!
Several of us got off the carriage.
He Zhi took a few steps forward and looked at the wooden pillar on the right side of the archway with strange eyes.
After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly walked straight to the wooden pillar on the right, wiped off the dust on it, and could see clearly again.
I was very confused, so I walked over and knelt down to look at it together, only to find that there was something unusual about the wooden pillar.
