Chapter 38: Guiding the Spirit Money

  I don't have time to worry about why Bai Ling wasn't bitten by ants, and put my energy back on clothes.

  The two of us were like in a competition, and we stripped off our clothes in less than half a minute. We stood naked in front of the mud Bodhisattva statue, I don't know if this counts as blasphemy or not.

  We were like monkeys grabbing each other, but when monkeys grab each other it's to scratch an itch, while we were searching for ants.

  By the light of the flashlight, I really pinched no less than ten black ants from Ah Feng and Pan Zi's bodies, and they also got quite a few off me.

  After we got comfortable, I let out a sigh and turned back to look at Bai Ling.

  At that time he was shaking our clothes for us, and this white kid was quite stinky, putting Ah Feng's watch on his own arm.

  Lu Yu Feng's watch was a weapon and it wasn't something that could be worn by others so casually. His face sank, and he didn't even have time to put on his clothes first, telling Bai Ling Mei to quickly take off the watch.

  Bai Lingmei chuckled and muttered to himself as he took off his watch, "I'm not taking it away, I just think it's fun to wear for a bit."

  It's not a big mistake anyway, and Ah Feng didn't say anything else. Next, we carefully cleaned our clothes again and put them back on.

  Baili Media said, frowning at the pile of hay while we were dressing, "This thing is ominous, it attracts ants. Forget it, we can't sleep on it anymore. I'll get rid of it."

  He finished speaking and went outside to find a wooden stick. He used the stick to push and his foot to kick, and he got all the hay out.

  I gazed at the smooth ground, thinking to myself, "Without this dry grass, how are we going to sleep? Can't just lie directly on the cold ground, can we? We'll catch a chill if we sleep like that!"

  Lu Yufeng had an idea, saying that we should go to the car, pull down all the car mats and spread them on the ground for use.

  Although the car mat is dirty now, it's better than nothing. We quickly walked out, and Bailian followed closely behind us.

  As soon as we came out of the temple gate, something strange happened. We walked to the side of the car and found that someone had placed a brick on the front cover with a spirit money underneath.

  I suddenly thought of the White-Haired Ghost, and with the contrast of this vast dark night, I felt a sense of tension in my heart.

  Lu Yufeng threw away the brick and picked up the spirit money. He shone his flashlight on it, and found that the date written on it was today's date.

  According to the previous murder cases, this hell note implies that the murderer will take our lives tonight.

  The atmosphere suddenly became more tense, and we all looked around. The white medium's eyes were sharp, pointing to the distance and telling us, "Something is wrong over there, quickly shine a flashlight."

  As the flashlight passed by, I saw that there was another brick on the ground, and underneath it was also a spirit coin.

  This is quite evil, Lu Yifeng shone his flashlight at a distance, and I found that every ten meters or so, there was a brick with a spirit coin pressed on it.

  This gives me an idea, someone is guiding us to a place.

  My mind is tangled, let's follow them, this hasty departure without preparation can be very dangerous, but if we don't go, the opportunity to dig up clues will be lost.

  Lu Yufeng thought for a long time and came up with a plan. He told me to follow the route indicated by the spirit money with him, and asked Panzi and Bai Lingmei to return to the temple to protect the old monk. They were to lock all the doors and windows in the hall tightly, and not open them for anyone except us two. If there was any danger, they were to call Lu Yufeng's phone immediately, and we would rush back as soon as possible.

  Then he took out his mobile phone with Panzi and checked the signal. They were all full bars, nothing to worry about.

  Panzi knew that we two were relatively more dangerous, but since it was a big deal, he didn't decline either and took the white spirit medium back.

  Lu Yufeng opened the trunk again. I was originally quite curious, looking at this trunk except for food there's nothing else.

  But he lifted up a corner and pulled out a stun baton and a dagger from inside.

  I wasn't too surprised by the powerful electric baton, but that dagger looked extraordinary. The scabbard was a shiny black from head to toe, probably made of precious metal, and must have been extremely sharp.

  He tossed the electric baton to me, and he held a dagger and flashlight. We walked forward together. During this time, he also touched his belt buckle and pressed it once. I looked at him carefully from the side, and there seemed to be a black large button on his belt buckle, which lit up after pressing.

  The road lined with spirit money was quite long, and we walked for at least two miles before finally leaving the village and stopping in front of a forest.

  The forest is quite small, but the trees are very old, all of which are decades-old poplar trees. Looking up, they are all over 30 meters high.

  The hell money was gone in front of this forest, so we could only stand at the edge of the forest and look inside.

  Lu Yufeng adjusted the flashlight's brightness to its maximum and swept it back and forth against the woods, trying to find something.

  At this time, an old poplar tree had a reaction. A head emerged from a large leaf and winked at us with a smile.

  I recognized it as a white-haired ghost, and when I first saw it, my heart was startled, but soon calmed down again.

  Lu Yifeng shone his flashlight on the White Haired Ghost and muttered a sentence, "Just looking for it, and it's delivered to my doorstep."

  He took me forward again, I saw that the white-haired ghost didn't seem to be escaping at all, and I secretly felt pleased in my heart, thinking "if you have what it takes, then don't run", waiting for the distance to be right, watching Ah Feng use the needle on his watch to shoot it down.

  We were also very vigilant, afraid that there might be traps around us, and suddenly an arrow or a bullet would come flying in, but we never thought that the trap here would be so strange.

  The ground was covered with fallen leaves, and I took another step forward. As I stepped on the leaves, I suddenly felt the ground beneath my feet tremble slightly, and then a small piece of the ground collapsed.

  My entire legs sank down a foot, and in the instant they were sinking, I felt something constricting around my ankles.

  I shouted "not good" at that time, which was a reminder to Lu Yifeng. I also wanted to get out as soon as possible, so I twisted my legs hard.

  Trouble was still behind me. As I struggled, a rope suddenly came out from the fallen leaves, and its end was still tied around my legs.

  This rope pulled me with great force, and I lost my balance in an instant. My whole body fell forward, and the rope continued to pull me away with undiminished strength.

  I flapped hard, wanting to grab something to borrow some strength, but around here it's either leaves or small stones, and there's nowhere to get a grip.

  I cried out in despair as I was helplessly dragged away by this rope.

  Lu Yifeng also wanted to save me, he pulled out the dagger, but before he could take two steps, his legs were also trapped and a rope was tied around his ankle.

  But Lu Yifeng was agile and timely bent down to cut off the rope with a dagger.

  I wanted to learn from Lu Yifeng, so I tried to sit up and get the spring knife out, but damn it, the rope not only tied my ankle, but also stuck the spring knife tightly. I struggled several times, but still didn't succeed.

  Finally, I stared blankly as I crashed into a tree, and it wasn't until Lu Yifeng arrived that he rescued me.

  I stood up and looked at my clothes which were full of holes, I didn't know what to think anymore. Dammit, I came to Longzhou, three shirts were ruined, this time even a pair of pants was damaged.

  I've shifted all this anger onto the white-haired ghost instead.

  It took advantage of the interval to crawl out from under a pile of leaves, squat on a tree stump, and watch our awkward appearance as if watching a play, not only hehehe laughing, but also couldn't help clapping hands.

  Lu Yifeng didn't get angry, he calmly looked at the White Haired Ghost and said to me, "Hold steady, let's carefully walk over there first."

  This time we both paid attention and stretched out our left foot to test the ground in front of us, if there was no collapse, then we would move forward.

  I found this place is full of surprises, in such a short distance, we discovered more than ten traps like this.

  When they arrived under the tree, Lu Yifeng looked at the White Haired Ghost and hummed a sound, raising his watch.

  I also think this white-haired ghost's time has come, just waiting for it to scream and fall down.

  But Ah Feng shot at the White Haired Ghost several times, but didn't see any needles fly out.

  He was taken aback at first, then astonished, and finally couldn't help but curse, saying how did this watch break?

  I saw this and couldn't feel happy anymore. Even looking at that white-haired ghost, I felt a sense of helpless sigh.

  I really want to hit it with a stick and electrocute it with an electric baton, but the problem is, I can't touch it.

  The white-haired ghost laughed even more happily and took out a large black bag from his bosom.

  It carefully opened a slit in its pocket and pulled out a ball of reddish mud, which it then splattered at the two of us.

  It looks like it's our turn now, it has led us here and now it's its counterattack.
