Madoka added a few words and it told us.
"Under normal circumstances, although ghost villages allow outsiders to enter, they will also set up some simple checks at the entrance of the village to see if you are here to cause trouble on purpose."
I was startled and quickly asked for advice humbly.
"That damn fat bird, under what circumstances will he be considered to be looking for trouble and not be allowed in?"
Madoka smiled sideways.
"Of course it's you. You can tell that you belong to the Taoist sect with your pure energy! I and Xiao Heizi are both demons. They don't care about good or evil, so they can naturally enter the ghost village. Xiao Lizi is a corpse hunter. Among the people, The Yin people in the industry are all that kind of evil, and they usually won’t be stopped from entering the ghost village. So between the four of us, only a weakling like you can’t get in."
ah?
"Like this……"
I scratched my head, looking a little helpless.
Madoka immediately winked and said to me with a proud look.
"Boy Wu, as long as you bow respectfully to me and call me Grandpa Bird, how about I help you think of a way?"
Bang bang bang!
I slapped the fat guy three times in a row on his round, furry head.
"What a big man you are! What you mean, silly bird, is actually the kind of people who will make the other party feel that they have a righteous sect or imperial power background. They are not allowed to enter. I'm afraid they will sneak in to find out the information and prepare to eliminate them, right?"
Madoka covered her head with her two wings like human hands and glared at me.
"Well, that's right. But if you fight me, I'm not done with you. When I rescue Lao Cao, I'll fight with you!"
I chuckled.
"In that case, I have a clever plan."
As I said that, I took out something from my arms.
This is a small brown diamond-shaped wooden sign, about the size of a palm. There are some mottled marks on it, which looks very primitive and old.
Li Miao and Heizi came over to take a look curiously.
"Brother Wu, what is this?"
Madoka reacted and shouted.
"Hey! Oh, I understand. It turns out that I used this trick. I got it from Da Niuzi."
I smiled, and with a thought, a ray of true energy poured into the small brown wooden sign.
In an instant!
From the small brown sign in my hand, large clouds of black smoke poured out crazily.
The evil spirit is billowing, the evil is terrifying, and the sinister wind is gusting, making people feel palpitating.
Not only that, this evil billowing black mist was also mixed with sticky blood, filled with a strong and dazzling smell of blood. It seems to be able to follow the orders of the person who activates this token weapon and wrap it around anything...
Thump thump thump!
Li Miao was suddenly frightened by this aura and staggered back three steps in shock.
Heizi also instinctively had his hair all over his body, bared his teeth, and stared at the wooden token magic weapon in my hand. It's just that a pair of dog eyes glanced back and forth between "me" and "little wooden sign" with surprise and uncertainty.
Of course, this was all an instinctive reaction. After coming to their senses, Li Miao and Heizi returned to normal. But they were all very confused.
Li Miao said in surprise.
"Brother Wu, what kind of magical weapon is this? The evil aura you just released is simply too terrifying! It's really... a bit weird. What's going on?"
I explained with a smile.
"Brother Li, Heizi, don't worry. I will definitely not degenerate into an evil cultivator, let alone use a real evil magic weapon. In fact, the thing in my hand is not so much a magic weapon as it is a magic weapon. It’s just a very special toy.”
This wooden token was what Niu Bi used to disguise his ghost brother Niu Deheng as a terrifying ghost when Niu Bi and I first met.
If Niu Bi hadn't given in quickly, I would have attacked with all my strength. It is estimated that Niu Deheng was about to lose his mind on the spot. These two brothers were really ridiculous.
Later, I got this small wooden sign and kept it for them for the time being.
I guess it should be a [single magic weapon] - that is, a magic weapon with only one fixed and targeted effect.
The unlucky thing that Niu Bi got has only one function, and that is to create an extremely evil surging evil spirit and a terrifying illusion of blood and light.
Of course, it's just an illusion, a very real deception.
In fact, it doesn’t have the power and effect of half a dime!
Otherwise, I would have killed Niu Deheng as an evil ghost... and there would not have been a good friendship later.
After listening to my explanation, Li Miao suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh.
"That's it! This world is so big, it's full of wonders. Is there such a magic weapon that looks like a prank toy?"
Indeed, they all belong to the type of [Single Magical Weapon]... This small brown wooden sign is completely different from the Chuanjiang Zhenhe Order I gave to Li Miao before.
Of course, if Li Miao knew that my master had also made a [Single Magic Weapon] flute, the only function of which was to make a fat panda demon king who was very close to my master twerk and dance... I wonder what his expression is?
With this small wooden sign in hand that can disguise an extremely evil and ferocious aura, it should be no problem to enter the ghost village in the mountain col ahead.
As for what to do after entering? How to find Lao Cao?
Then we can only take one step at a time!
Fortunately, there is Heizi, whose sensitive nose can continue to search for traces of Lao Cao in the ghost village.
…
The way down the mountain is very difficult.
The trail is steep and winding.
If you were an ordinary person, you would probably have to walk around for most of the day.
Naturally, we didn't need to spend that long. After about an hour, we arrived at the flat ground at the bottom of the valley where this "ghost village" was located.
The ghost village ahead is brightly lit and ghostly, and you can even hear some noisy sounds.
The further I walked forward, the more solemn my expression became.
"I'm afraid this ghost village has become a big thing! Haven't all the decent cultivation forces in Sichuan and Chongqing noticed it all this time? There may be some secrets involved."
Li Miao took out two pieces of black cloth from his pocket and handed one to me.
"Brother Wu, do you want to cover your face? Although I have never been to a ghost village, I have been to the [Corpse Pond] where there are many old corpses. Living people covering their faces can avoid disturbing the ghosts."
Makes sense!
I took the black cloth.
"Brother Li is more considerate, covering his face, and using this small wooden sign to make him look more evil and powerful. The ghost at the entrance of the village should be more trustworthy and not suspicious."
Li Miao and I covered our faces, but Xiao Yuan and Heizi certainly didn’t need to—one was a dog and the other was a bird, so it was really unnecessary.
But Madoka was unhappy and clamored to hide her face.
After doing this, Heizi also started barking and wanted to be fooled.
I tried to persuade them, telling them that it would be bad if dogs and birds were also masked, not only would they not keep a low profile, but they would draw attention to themselves. After all, we are here to save Lao Cao, not to travel and have fun...
Finally, we arrived at the entrance of the village.
This is a simple stone archway, and some of the writing on it has weathered and cannot be read clearly. It is covered with various kinds of vines.
But unlike what Madoka said, there were no ghosts standing guard on both sides of the village entrance archway.
Empty, nothing!
You can directly cross the gate archway at the entrance of the village and enter it.
Um?
I frowned slightly and looked at Madoka in confusion.
This stupid bird spreads its wings.
"Why are you looking at me? I don't know what's going on. There is no gatekeeper in this ghost village. It's really strange. Are they so arrogant that they are not afraid of orthodox monks coming in to inquire about information?"
