Chapter 662 Ghost Valley, Ghost Show
The evening wind roared past, sweeping up the yellow sand in the sky and almost extinguishing the bonfire.
Wu Heng turned around and was about to tend to the flames when he heard Lei Zi lower his voice and say faintly, "Gui Gu, has appeared."
what?
Wu Heng raised his head in confusion, followed the other party's deep gaze into the distance, and saw a huge black shadow suddenly appearing in the yellow sand.
The black image of a hump, rising at both ends and collapsing in the middle, is hidden in the night with a mysterious color.
The people nearby packed up their things and set off. Wu Heng and Xie Chenan turned around to call Ye Lan, but found that a hand had opened the curtain first.
"It's time to go." Xiao Yunting only opened a gap and did not look inside. His deep voice was magnetic and charming.
If other girls hear this, they will feel a sense of security and want to throw themselves into my arms immediately.
Fortunately, Ye Lan didn't sleep. He quickly came out of the tent neatly dressed and didn't mean to talk to the man too much.
Wu Heng and Xie Chenan finally felt more at ease.
On second thought, Xiao Yunting has already established a relationship with Qu Yueqing. With Ye Lan's temperament, she will definitely not get involved even if she likes her.
In short, Xiao Yunting has nothing to fear.
It was agreed in advance that the camel team would not enter the Ghost Valley.
So the next group of people walked together with their bags on their backs.
The temperature dropped sharply at night, so everyone put on cotton clothes. It was not an easy task to walk in the soft sand in the low temperature.
After walking for less than half an hour, Electric Eel was out of breath and sweating profusely. He waved his hands and said, "I can't survive anymore. Who can help me carry a bag?"
He sat down on the ground and said he couldn't walk anymore.
Although Lei Zi and the others were panting, they were still able to handle it with ease, so one of them carried the bag in a very professional manner, and the other held the electric eel to lend him strength and set off again.
"I said I wanted help." Electric Eel praised his foresight and showed his gentlemanly manner at the right time. "Isn't there a young lady? You guys should go and help too."
After finishing speaking, he looked up to the rear and realized that he was at the rear of the crane. He then turned to look at the front, counting through the crowd one by one, and finally discovered that Ye Lan was walking first.
"I don't need it." The girl's voice was clear and cold, carrying the yellow sand and blowing over her. Her breath was smooth and without any fluctuations.
"..." The electric eel felt embarrassed immediately, and pretended to casually withdraw his arm from Lei Zi's shoulder, indicating that he could do it.
He is a grown man and cannot be compared to a little girl.
But in fact, it wasn't just him who was being compared.
The Ghost Valley seemed very close, but it actually took two hours to walk there. When we arrived at the entrance of the two hills, everyone almost collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
Lei Zi and others drank two bottles of water in a row, shivering from the ice water, but their mouths were really dry and there was nothing they could do.
At this time, they found that the four Wu Heng people in the queue were still standing with leisurely postures. Especially Ye Lan, who looked delicate and frail, did not even shed a single sweat and walked steadily at the front throughout the whole process.
At this time, they realized belatedly that their employer was not only rich, but perhaps also a spiritual practitioner.
"Hey, there are actually vegetation and buildings in a place like this. Where did they appear?" Xie Chenan in front was already looking at the scenery between the two hills and couldn't help but be surprised.
Lei Zi got up, walked to a few people with a cigarette in his mouth, and looked inside: "It is said that Baquan used to be some ancient post station, but later it was abandoned and only a place name remained. There was an earthquake here seven years ago, and the inn station somehow became... It was moved to this ghost valley, but no one who went in to investigate survived."
Telling this kind of story in such a deserted place in the middle of the night can't help but send chills down your spine.
Electric Eel rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and said with a smile, "It's okay. There will be at least a hundred or so people at this offline gathering. It must be okay if it's so lively."
Besides, they are not ordinary people.
With this belief, all the teams present did not give up. After a brief rest, they turned on their flashlights and walked towards the middle of the valley.
The hills that rise suddenly in the desert are over a thousand feet tall. The gaps on both sides really seem to be divided into two. There are scattered trees growing on the mountain walls, and a small stream slowly meanders through the ground.
Everyone walked along the stream and approached a courtyard standing in the middle.
There was no door in the courtyard surrounded by earthen walls, but the lights were on inside, and the sounds of singing and singing could be heard flowing out.
When Ye Lan and his party entered, they discovered that a stage had been set up in front of several earthen houses, and there were performers in costumes on it. Many people were already sitting down to listen to the music silently.
"It's not a party, why are you still listening to the ditty?" Electric Eel pulled his good friend Xie Chenan and asked in confusion.
And among the people around him, not even the blond foreigners raised any objections.
"This is called a ghost show. In order to appease the ghosts in a gloomy place, you use their place to stage a show. Didn't you notice that their faces are all painted very white?"
Although Xie Chenan did not come from Taoism, the monks in the world were from the same family, and some basic common sense was still more familiar to him than the technical geek like Electric Eel.
Hearing the sound, the electric eel carefully observed Hua Dan's face, and was suddenly startled when the other party turned her head softly, revealing her pale face and red cheeks.
"Sure enough, this is not a beauty that living people can appreciate." He covered his rapidly beating heart and sat down in the audience to cheer.
You are not allowed to use strange power to confuse the gods. Those present are all people on the X forum master list. They are well-informed. Even foreigners know that there are many things in the world that cannot be explained by science. No matter how they do not believe in evil, they will not have the brains to destroy the ceremony. .
However, after they sat down, someone whispered from the side.
"My dear, your party is so fun. It's not as scary as the rumors say. You still don't let me come. It's really annoying." The girl said in a coquettish voice, like a cuckoo chirping quietly.
Immediately, a helpless male voice replied lovingly: "You promised me that you will be obedient when you come, and you are not allowed to run around later. Do you understand?"
"Okay, people know that you are so powerful anyway, you can definitely protect me."
A few people glanced sideways and saw a young couple in front of them making love.
The girl has creamy skin, wavy red hair, and is wearing a suspender belt and a knitted sweater. Her exposed fingers are slender. From a glance, she has never done any heavy work, and she doesn't even have any martial arts value.
The man holding her had a straight and broad back and smooth arm muscles. When he noticed their gazes, he subconsciously blocked the girl's face. He was a very vigilant guy.
"It seems that we are not the only ones who bought the quota." Xie Chenan approached Ye Lan and whispered.
Ye Lan withdrew his gaze, refusing to comment on other people's private matters, and glanced across the earthen houses in the yard.
From the moment she came in, she felt something was wrong.
No matter how remote the ancient royal post was, money would be allocated to build it to accommodate incoming officials and passing messengers. The construction materials were also wooden houses, so how could they be low earth houses?
The gongs and drums beat intensively on the stage, and after the last line of the song was finished, the actresses took a bow from the audience, and then slowly retreated amidst the applause.
There is also an incense bank placed on the altar table in the middle of the stage, with incense and light smoke floating in the air.
