The third one …
The fourth one …
The fifth one …
Irin walked past one village after another.
At first, he was a little surprised. Later, every time he passed by a village, Irin only raised his eyelids.
"Oh, another village."
It was over.
No matter how shocking the facts were, after seeing too many of them, it was actually just an inside story.
Pan Zhengyi seemed to feel a little bored. In the fog forest, he yawned and killed ghosts.
It had to be said that Pan Zhengyi's actions of killing ghosts really made Irin's heart ache for the "ghosts".
For example …
Sticking a knife into a ghost's mouth and stirring it …
Or …
Stabbing a knife into the buttocks, opening a bud for the ghost and clearing it.
Or …
Carving the word "justice" on the ghost's face …
Of course, Pan Zhengyi could only bully the lower-level ghosts. If he encountered a ghost general with rough skin and thick flesh, Irin would still have to make a move.
Irin glanced at the "Ghost Qi Ranking".
He silently calculated in his heart.
Then, he snatched the ancient knife back from Pan Zhengyi's hand. Seeing Pan Zhengyi's reluctant expression, he could only comfort him. "Good boy, I'll take you to a good place."
Pan Zhengyi's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Where, where?"
"I'll take you to climb the mountain."
It was no longer important how many villages there were in Haunted-mist Mountain.
In every village, the single-armed old man's house was tightly locked.
But Irin did not break in again.
First, the ordinary life-saving hammer needed to be used once in case of an emergency.
Second … it was not necessary.
Irin also had an answer in his heart.
But there was still one more place that he had to go.
Otherwise, Irin would not be at ease.
Moreover, if he continued to dig into the plot, he could also increase the final rating of the game.
"Climb the mountain?"
Pan Zhengyi pondered for a moment.
Suddenly, he said, "The kind that takes a suicide photo?"
“？”
Pan Zhengyi chuckled inexplicably.
Irin was confused, wondering what strange timeline Pan Zhengyi's imagination had connected to.
He suddenly remembered the "déjà vu" theory that Molly had mentioned.
Perhaps Pan Zhengyi's brain could really receive some mysterious information?
"…"
An hour later.
Irin and Pan Zhengyi climbed to the top of the mountain.
The road was rugged, and Irin was strained.
When he reached the top of the mountain, his head was covered in a layer of sweat.
His strength attribute … was still a little low.
Irin felt a little helpless.
It could only be said that … you couldn't have your cake and eat it too.
He turned around and glanced at Pan Zhengyi, who was chuckling foolishly from time to time.
Suddenly, he regretted bringing this guy along.
If he didn't …
"Forget it."
Irin thought about it and did not mind.
It was useless to regret what had happened.
When they reached the top of the mountain, Irin took another look at the "Ghost Qi List". His expression was neither happy nor sad.
The top of the mountain was shrouded in a layer of faint red mist.
It seemed to be made of blood.
Irin's nose twitched slightly. In the mist, there was an elegant fragrance.
Haunted-mist Mountain, which was shaped like a skeleton, had a scenery that was somewhat unexpected.
There was a type of bright red flower all around.
It was a sea of flowers.
A sea of bright red flowers.
Like blood.
The elegant fragrance was spreading from this sea of flowers.
Irin stepped into the sea of flowers. He suddenly found that something was wrong.
These lush flowers did not have leaves.
There were only small flowers blooming on the bare stems.
Behind the bright and gorgeous flowers, there was a sense of loneliness.
Irin's heart skipped a beat, and he casually picked one.
A line of words appeared in front of his eyes.
…
[Red Spider Lily]
[Grade] None
[Effect] It's just a flower. What effect do you want it to have?
[Description] Legend has it that the Red Spider Lily grows in the boundary between Yin and Yang. It blooms for a thousand years and withers for another thousand years. The leaves can't be seen when the flowers bloom, and the leaves can't be seen when the leaves grow.
…
"Red Spider Lily?"
Irin thought that it was just a legend.
Why did it grow on the top of Haunted-mist Mountain?
"The boundary between Yin and Yang?" Irin pondered again in a low voice.
Irin knew the nature of the Inner World very well.
It did not exist for no reason, and there would not be a useless description.
Since the Red Spider Lily grew here, there must be a reason.
When Irin and Pan Zhengyi stepped into this sea of Red Spider Lilies, countless petals floated up and danced in the sky.
As soon as the flower in Irin's hand was picked, its stem withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the petals withered, danced, and merged into the petals in the sky. It was scattered and beautiful.
At the end of the sea of flowers, there seemed to be something.
Irin walked forward, and Pan Zhengyi followed behind him.
The moon above his head was getting redder and redder.
It was as if blood was about to drip out.
The sun had not set yet, but the light of the moon had overshadowed the sunlight.
It overshadowed the main event.
The deeper Irin walked into the sea of Red Spider Lilies, the more confused and uncomfortable Irin felt.
It was as if … some mysterious force had invaded his brain and was affecting his thinking.
In the blink of an eye, Yi Lin heard a series of rustling noises echoing in her ears.
It kept echoing for a long time.
Irin could not help but divert his attention to carefully distinguish the rustling sounds. When he listened more carefully, it was as if … there were countless people whispering in his ears.
"Illusion?"
Irin shook his head and felt that something was wrong.
Even if it was an illusion, in front of his 7.1 willpower, there was a certain resistance to it.
Irin focused his attention and tried his best to ignore the inexplicable whispers in his ears as he continued to walk forward.
He did not notice that Pan Zhengyi, who had been following behind him, suddenly trembled and froze on the spot as if he had been electrocuted.
Pan Zhengyi's eyes first became unfocused and turbid, then gradually became clear …
They were bright and full of spirit.
…
…
At the end of the sea of Red Spider Lilies, there were two graves erected.
There were two tombstones erected on these two graves.
The tombstones seemed to be quite old, but the surroundings were very clean. There were no weeds around the tombstones.
However, the words on the tombstones were clear and legible.
"Tomb of Nie Hongxiu"!
"Tomb of Bai Xiaoyi"!
Nie Hongxiu … Bai Xiaoyi!
Irin's breathing stopped, and his gaze froze slightly.
There seemed to be some strange patterns carved on the ground around the two tombstones.
It looked like some kind of ancient array.
"No … this looks more like some kind of religious ceremony."
In between Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi's tombstones, there was a patch of soil that seemed to be different from the surroundings. It seemed to have been turned over.
Irin's heart skipped a beat. He squatted down and thought for a moment. Then, he took out Xiao Shisan's ancient sword from his storage space and prepared to dig.
At this moment, Pan Zhengyi suddenly smiled.
A shadow suddenly swept out from the sea of Red Spider Lilies like a stream of light and rushed directly behind Irin.
Irin had already sensed the existence of the shadow through his "sense of touch".
Just as he was about to move, he was surprised to find that Pan Zhengyi was faster than him.
Clang.
Pan Zhengyi smiled slightly and narrowed his eyes. A dangerous light flashed in the gap of his eyes.
Crack.
The broken sword in Pan Zhengyi's hand cracked again.
However, it had completely blocked the shadow.
Irin stopped digging and stood up.
Looking at the shadow blocked in front of Pan Zhengyi, his ashen face revealed an expression of disbelief.
Irin chuckled.
"You've been following us all the way. When you saw that I was about to dig, you finally couldn't bear it anymore?"
"Should I call you 'Old Ghost Hunter'? Or … "
"Nie Xiu?"
