Chapter 65 The Troubles of Height

The village chief's prediction was correct. As soon as the people from Shanglin Village left, some of the people who had been watching them from the outside came over to check the situation.

Especially the group that attacked the camp last night.

"Brother, those guys are gone!"

"Gone? Where did they go? We've been watching here the whole time and haven't seen them."

"The brothers who went to investigate just now discovered that they didn't take the main road, but changed their route and went somewhere else?"

"Go elsewhere? Where could they possibly run to?"

Everyone was fleeing south this time; they couldn't possibly be going in any other direction. Are you sure you're not mistaken?

"Brother, there's no mistake, they definitely didn't take the main road but headed towards the woods."

"Linlu? It seems this group is going to take Linlu, but isn't Linlu a dead end?"

"Big brother, should we continue chasing?"

"Let me think about it..."

Last night, that group was completely wiped out. The masterminds were furious, and they set up an ambush in front of Shanglin Village.

Unexpectedly, no one showed up by noon, so they sent someone to check, only to find that the person had changed their route.

………

Meanwhile, the villagers of Shanglin Village had already entered the forest.

Although they were still on the outskirts, the dry grass in the woods was very lush.

Walking was much more strenuous than on the official road. Ning Bao was carried on Shen Sijian's back because she was too short and couldn't even stick her head out of the weeds.

This discovery made Ning Bao very depressed, and she leaned on Shen Sijian's shoulder, looking sullen.

Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine and the spirit of an old woman floated over. Ning Bao swiftly drew the peach wood sword from her back and swung it at the old woman.

Ning Bao stared in astonishment at the fleeing spirit; it had been a long time since a spirit had escaped her sword.

"This spirit seems rather unusual," Ning Bao whispered to Chen Sijian.

"Cousin, put me down, I need to go over there."

Ning Bao pointed in the direction the spirit had fled.

"I'm really serious," Jian asked.

"Is Ningbao going to the outhouse?"

Ning Bao shook her head.

"No, Ningbao is going to catch ghosts."

Shen Sijian suddenly felt a chill run through him. He paused for a moment, realizing that his cousin was going to catch ghosts in broad daylight...

Shen Junshan, who was walking behind them, noticed something was amiss.

"Sijian, Ningbao, what's wrong? Why aren't you leaving?"

Ningbao looked at Shen Junshan and suddenly had a bright idea: "Cousin, put me down so that my uncle can carry me."

Shen Junshan immediately put down the luggage he was carrying, then took Ningbao from his eldest son's arms.

"Sijian, you carry the luggage. If your aunt and uncle ask, just say Ningbao is with me and will follow them in a bit."

Shen Junshan, holding Ningbao, raised an eyebrow.

"Speak, is there something you need?"

Ningbao frowned, her expression very serious.

"Uncle, a demon just tried to eat me..."

"What?" Shen Junshan was very surprised. He quickly examined it carefully.

"How are you? Were you hurt?"

Seeing Shen Junshan's nervous expression, Ning Bao felt a warmth in her heart.

"Uncle, don't worry, no ghost can hurt me. That spirit is very powerful and it specializes in eating children's souls. It's a menace if it stays, so I have to get rid of it."

Shen Junshan nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, as long as you don't hurt your uncle, I'm willing to go ghost hunting with you."

Ning Bao immediately took out a compass and pointed in the direction the evil spirit had just left.

"Uncle, let's go over there."

Shen Junshan picked up Ning Bao and rushed off in the direction Ning Bao pointed without hesitation.

Hearing the wind rushing past her ears, Ningbao was shocked again. She knew her uncle knew kung fu, but she didn't expect his lightness skill to be so amazing.

Ning Bao couldn't help but become even more suspicious of Shen Junshan's identity...
