When the plane landed, Su Bai turned his head slightly and looked out of the porthole. It was like the Dali Airport sitting on a hill. It was a very small airport, far from the grandeur of the airports of other big cities in China, but it seemed to fit the temperament and style of Dali.
Lowering his head again, he looked at Ji Xiang lying on his lap. Su Bai reached out and rubbed its head. Recently, Ji Xiang had been "patted to death" by Su Bai countless times. At first, Ji Xiang resisted, but when it saw that its resistance was futile, it could only let it be. But every time Su Bai stroked it like a pet cat, Ji Xiang's eyes would always show helplessness.
Su Bai himself knew that no matter whether Ji Xiang indicated it or not, even if it was not a monster in this life, but a house cat, it would probably still behave like this.
After getting off the plane, Su Bai booked a pick-up motorcycle at the entrance of the airport. He could see it as soon as he got out of the terminal. A small airport also had its advantages, it was really convenient to go in and out.
After getting on the car, Su Bai was still holding Ji Xiang. He knew what he was going to do. Obviously, the man and the woman should also know. In front of the man and the woman, he was powerless to resist. They could come and go freely in the Fang's house twice, and even when there were people around, which in itself was a problem.
Therefore, Su Bai could only keep Ji Xiang with him. If there was another accident, then he would give up his life. This point, Su Bai was very clear.
Even if he was a marionette, he still had a temper.
Suddenly, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, Su Bai suddenly felt a little disappointed. The monk and Lord Zeng both said that his spiritual willpower was abnormal, but in fact, he knew his own situation. It was just that his view of the world had been distorted by successive things.
It was still Cai Village, the same place where he lived last time. But when Su Bai got off the car at Cai Village pier, he found that the town here was a lot more deserted. The restaurant called Nanzhao Garden was still open, and it could be seen that it had just been renovated not long ago.
Su Bai remembered that the last time he fought with a few Western listeners, he basically completely turned over the backyard of the restaurant. It must have been hard on the owner.
Originally, Su Bai wanted to go to the homestay that he stayed in last time, but unfortunately, Erhai Lake had been renovated recently, and most of the homestays and inns by Erhai Lake were forced to close temporarily.
Su Bai had to temporarily give up the idea of staying. Anyway, he didn't bring any luggage or clothes. There was only a black cat by his side. Even if the sky was his blanket and the ground was his bed, it was no big deal.
Bai rented an electric scooter, and Ji Xiang was placed in the basket in front. Then, Bai Su Bai left towards the village in his memory.
The scenery by Erhai Lake was, of course, good. They met several couples taking wedding photos along the way, but neither Su Bai nor Ji Xiang seemed to be in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
The scenery by Erhai Lake was good. On the way, he met several couples taking wedding photos, but whether it was Su Bai or Ji Xiang, they didn't seem to be in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
Ji Xiang kept yawning in the basket, like a black meatball. It trembled with the electric scooter, looking quite charmingly naive.
In fact, there was one thing that Su Bai was very clear about. The last time he took the little guy to Dali for a trip, Ji Xiang had also come with them. However, it did not show any "homesickness" emotion, nor did it plan to go home. Thus, it could basically be concluded that Ji Xiang did not want to return to that place.
Actually, there was one thing that Su Bai was very clear about. The last time he brought the little guy to Dali for a trip, Ji Xiang also came with them. But Ji Xiang didn't show any emotion of "being closer to home", nor did it have any intention of going home. Therefore, it could be concluded that Ji Xiang didn't want to go back to that place.
But it might also be because at that time, Lucky had a little fellow that needed its care, and now …
More than twenty years ago, Ji Xiang was coaxed by Su Bai to come out. Even when it returned to this place with Su Bai a while ago, it didn't have the slightest intention of going back. Obviously, in Ji Xiang's view, the outside world was more exciting.
Yesterday at ten o'clock, Ji Xiang looked around in a daze. In fact, it was also his responsibility to help Ji Xiang recover. After all, Ji Xiang had been with him for a long time. Although it seemed a little overbearing when it came to killing road robbers or slapping away the ghost of the boy in red, it had helped him take care of his child for a long time and even saved him for the sake of the little guy. In the past few years that they had been together, he had indeed enjoyed more convenience from Ji Xiang.
Picking up Ji Xiang from the basket, Su Bai planned to enter the village to have a look. Although he estimated that the entrance was probably not here, after all, the last time he came out, he came out from Erhai Lake. But at least he could see some clues. Moreover, the audience in Yunnan obviously knew more about the Land of Proving Dao than the audience in other places. They should also have new clues on their side.
At the entrance of the village, the group of tombstones was still so eye-catching. The black-and-white photos of young children were pasted on the tombstones. Ordinary people might feel that it was bad luck, and those who were slightly emotional might feel sad. But for Su Bai, it meant another kind of feeling. Instead, it was a kind of relief, because the person who avenged these children who died young was him, Su Bai.
When that thing entered the body of a snake, Lord Zeng wanted to take it back and study it, but Su Bai insisted on punching it.
There was still a group of old people sitting at the entrance of the village. Their eyes were lifeless. They were actually in a state of waiting for death.
Although the culprit who had poisoned the village for so many years had been eliminated by Su Bai, the poison that thing had poisoned the village for so many years had really made the village exist only in name to a certain extent. Maybe in another ten years, the village would really only exist in the archives.
The entrance of a stranger like Su Bai did not arouse the interest of these old people. But when Su Bai had just entered the village, a teenager squatting on the ground playing marbles appeared in front of him.
Ji Xiang, who was originally curled up in Su Bai's arms, suddenly shivered. It raised its head and stared at the teenager in front of it.
"I know, he is a ghost."
Su Bai smiled bitterly. Once upon a time, Ji Xiang would directly slap away any demon or ghost who dared to approach it. But now it seemed a little nervous.
The teenager seemed to hear Su Bai's footsteps. He raised his head, looked at Su Bai, and sniffled.
Every place had its own Fengshui. According to Fatso's previous explanation, it was the magnetic field or Qi of a place. The healthy young adults in this village had all left, leaving only the old people here. In addition, many children and women had died because of the thing's absorption of human essence and blood over the years. Naturally, the Fengshui of the village had deteriorated, and it was normal for some evil things to appear.
The man and the ghost looked at each other for a long time. Suddenly, the teenager smiled brightly. It was interesting that a ghost could smile so brightly.
Su Bai slowly squatted down and placed Ji Xiang at his feet.
The teenager did not walk over, but took a step back. He pointed to the marbles at his feet and sniffled again.
Then, the teenager grinned again. His body began to slowly turn into nothingness, and then dissipated.
This was an interlude without a beginning or an end. Even though Su Bai, a high-level listener, was standing in front of him, he still had no way of figuring out what this little ghost was going to do.
Not every ghost was like the red-clothed boy who knew how to repay a debt of gratitude. In fact, when Su Bai killed that thing with one punch, these ghosts who were killed by that thing would not know. After all, they were ghosts and not the Great Principal Golden Immortals in the sky.
"Meow."
Ji Xiang suddenly shouted and struggled free from Su Bai's embrace, walking over by itself.
Su Bai also followed. There were a few marbles on the ground, but these marbles were obviously quite old, their color had already faded.
Ji Xiang's claws fiddled with the marbles.
"Let's go, let's take a look in front."
Su Bai said as he walked forward. Ji Xiang reluctantly looked at the marbles again and continued to follow Su Bai's footsteps. One man and one cat still had this bit of tacit understanding.
When they arrived at the place where they originally entered, there was only a pit left. There was nothing strange around. Su Bai still remembered the scene of the monk, the local Yunnan listeners, and the Western listeners working together to open the entrance to the magic circle here. But at this time, it was obvious that things were still the same, but people had changed.
Su Bai sighed. There were really no clues here. Now, he was already considering whether to contact the listener forum administrator who gave him his business card and ask him to help him find out some information. At most, he would promise to owe him a favor.
However, just as Su Bai took out his phone, he saw Ji Xiang running in the direction where it came from again.
Su Bai did not dare to let Ji Xiang be too far away from him, so he continued to follow. Ji Xiang was playing marbles there again.
"This cat …"
Although Su Bai felt that Ji Xiang was very comfortable as his pet, to be honest, he really did not want to see Ji Xiang really become a pet cat that needed cat toys. That was also an insult to Ji Xiang.
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
Ji Xiang meowed at the marbles.
"What's wrong?"
Su Bai squatted down again, and Ji Xiang meowed again. Su Bai carefully looked at the marbles on the ground. In the marbles, Ji Xiang's blurry figure was reflected. Su Bai's vision was enhanced by the vampire bloodline, so his vision was much better than that of ordinary people.
"Meow!"
However, when Ji Xiang meowed again, Su Bai keenly discovered that the black cat in the marbles did not open its mouth!
Su Bai picked up the marbles and looked at them in the air. Now, everything was very clear. Because..,
The shadow of the black cat..,
Was still there!
