Compared with the predicament at hand, Li Bai was even more shocked by Zhang Yuanchao's sudden change. She couldn't help but distance herself from Zhang Yuanchao, "Who are you? How do you know about such a thing as the Ghost Road?"
"Daughter, don't be afraid. Old man, I am a mountain guest. Since ancient times, there have been many evil things in the mountains. I don't know why I dare to bring people into the mountains." Zhang Yuanchao said, taking off the well rope on his shoulder, and then half-knelt down. On the ground, he grabbed a handful of soil and stuffed it into his mouth, and started babbling like a village opera performer.
Li Bai had never heard such a weird tune, but she was sure that Zhang Yuanchao was definitely not bluffing. From the heavily accented tune, she vaguely heard words such as the old mountain god and the soul-calling words. Slowly, Li Bai looked at Zhang Yuanchao. Her eyes changed, and she seemed to realize something, "You...you are not just a mountaineer who leads people into the mountain, you are a mountaineer!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanchao spit out the dirt in his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, and looked at Li Bai with some surprise, "Girl, you are so knowledgeable. Now that you have seen it, I won't hide it from you, old man. I call you Shanren."
Li Bai had heard of the Mountain Callers, and they were part of the Yin Xing faction. However, unlike other factions in the Yin Xing, the Mountain Callers were not well-known, and there were very few members in the sect. At least Li Bai had never Saw it.
People of this lineage depend on the mountains, take the forest roads, and worship the mountain gods. If you encounter evil things in the mountains, you can go to them.
But according to rumors, people in this lineage have very strange methods. They can directly communicate with the spirits in the mountains by shouting long tones, but the price to pay for asking them to take action is also quite terrifying.
It is said that a woman once asked a mountain man to search for her missing hunter husband. As a result, the mountain man took the woman into the mountains with him, but when he came out of the mountain again, only the mountain man and his hunter husband were there.
The woman seemed to have disappeared from the world. Later, when the villagers asked Orion about the whereabouts of the woman, Orion said nothing with a gloomy face.
Some people say that the mountain caller gave the woman to the mountain god in exchange for the hunter's life. Others say that this was a conspiracy between the mountain caller and the hunter. The two of them conspired to kill the woman and buried her in a cave. Chu Bao Cave, because after coming out of the mountains, the hunters who had been living in poverty suddenly became rich.
In short, there are many legends about the mountain caller, but most of them are negative, and there are no real mountain callers to deny it, so the more rumors spread, the more outrageous they become.
But what is undeniable is the ability of mountain callers. According to their words, people like them are the most devout disciples of the old mountain god.
Now was not the time to ask carefully. The strange babies behind him were still approaching. "What can you do?" Li Bai glanced behind him and asked.
Zhang Yuanchao grabbed the well rope, tied one end around his waist, and handed the other end to Li Bai, "My dear daughter, tie the well rope tightly."
Li Bai gritted his teeth and took it. Since the other party could see the path of the resentful ghost here, Xiang must have a way to get out. But Li Bai couldn't figure it out. Since Zhang Yuanchao had a way, why didn't he tell it earlier, and he would have to delay it until his life or death. critical moment.
"Daughter, the path of resentful ghosts here is extraordinary. It is much more powerful than what I have seen in Dashan Paozi before. Hundreds of people have died here, and it has been too long, making these things a climate."
Zhang Yuanchao felt as if he had swallowed sand in his throat, and his voice was very rough, "We will definitely not be able to get out if we only focus on leaving. We are blinded by the resentment here."
"Ghosts cover their eyes." Li Bai pursed her lips. This was an obvious thing, and she had experienced it many times before.
Zhang Yuanchao nodded, "You have your own way of calling it, but that's probably what it means. In short, we can't walk forward together. We need to leave one person to keep an eye on the road behind us, otherwise the road will keep changing and we will never be able to move forward together." Can’t get out.”
Staring at the long well rope, Li Bai, who was also proficient in Feng Shui, instantly understood what Zhang Yuanchao meant, "You mean we stay alone and stare behind us, so that the road behind us will not change, and then another One person walks forward, so that the path this person takes is real, and then when the rope reaches the limit distance, the two people switch again."
Zhang Yuanchao was very satisfied with Li Bai's ability to understand him, and his eyes towards Li Bai became more loving.
Li Bai took a breath slowly, this is a good idea, very good! She didn't expect it. No wonder people say that the mountain caller's ability to find people is first-class. Today, when she saw him, it was indeed well-deserved.
But Li Bai still had another concern. She stared at the not-thick well rope...
"Daughter, don't worry. I've seen the well rope. It's been soaked in the well water for a long time. The evil spirit is very strong. Those ghosts don't dare to touch it."
Zhang Yuanchao's words dispelled Li Bai's last worries, and she couldn't help but sigh. There is no end to the road. Thanks to meeting the mountain caller today, and I am afraid that Zhang Yuanchao had already thought of this method when he decided to bring the well rope.
If it had been her and Yao, Shun, and Yu, they would have died here today.
"Daughter, you go first. This rope is very long. I'll call you when it's almost done." Zhang Yuanchao very generously gave Li Bai the first opportunity to leave.
Li Bai didn't do any ink, and nodded to Zhang Yuanchao, "Don't worry, as long as you shout stop, I will stop immediately, then turn around and keep an eye on the road for you, and let's leave this damn place together."
"Haha, my daughter, I can trust you, old man! I can trust you!"
Li Bai solemnly cupped his hands towards Zhang Yuanchao, who had turned around, "Senior, I'm going to take the first step."
Li Bai turned around, took steps, and walked towards the seemingly endless front.
But this time, Li Bai clearly felt something different. The crazy scratching and calling sounds all around him disappeared, and the feeling of being stared at by others also disappeared.
It felt like... like she was being ignored.
No, that's not right! It's those things that can't see her!
Because Zhang Yuanchao was left behind to keep an eye on those ghosts for her!
Now Li Bai and Zhang Yuanchao are in completely different situations, which is mysterious. Although there is a rope connecting them, they are in two different worlds. To be precise, she has now left the road of wrongdoing. , there is a real cave under her feet, as long as she walks forward, there will be an end, but Zhang Yuanchao is still on the road of wronged ghosts.
She walked very slowly, worried that she would pull on the rope if she walked too fast. Fortunately, the length of the rope was much longer than she thought. She had not felt the resistance of being fixed after walking for a while.
Finally, light began to appear in front of her eyes. It was... that was the cellar when they came down. She could see it clearly!
Li Bai accelerated her pace in excitement, but the next second, Li Bai stopped suddenly, because until now, the rope behind her still seemed to be endless.
Some people died, but not completely...
