Gao Tinghan's trick
Yan Chan and the other two went to look for the source of the song, because Guan Zheng was blind.
So Yan Chan held her left arm with one hand and her right hand with the other, protecting her side in an almost hugging posture.
Along the way, they had only the whistling wind to keep them company.
There were only three of them in this huge cave of ghosts.
Shi Guiyi and Wu Chunlai were not here.
For them, it was actually Yan Chan and Guan Zheng who disappeared inexplicably.
There were more and more skulls on the ground, and the paths on both sides where people could walk were gradually getting narrower.
The skulls piled together like a small hill.
Gao Tinghan led the way in front and did not slow down his pace.
Seeing this scene, although Yan Chan was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but shudder.
Living in modern times, she has never seen these things.
I have seen it, but it was a fake mold on TV.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but it seemed even colder here. The wind became weaker the further she went in, and her hair was blown down and stuck to her back.
The closer you get to the source of the song, the more the sound sounds like sobbing.
Guan Zheng's hearing was very sharp at this moment. The wailing sound kept drilling into her ears. The miserable sound echoed continuously, and even she was aroused some sadness.
This feeling was somewhat familiar, just like the chest tightness she felt when Yan Chan was drawing her eyebrows that day.
This situation really proves what Gao Tinghan said, that thousands of ghosts are crying.
Yan Chan noticed Guan Zheng's sudden change in mood and tried to comfort her. She raised her head and saw rows and rows of densely packed things standing in front of her.
Looking closely, it was a tombstone.
Yan Chan noticed that Gao Tinghan, who was standing in front of her with his back to her, raised his arm and then quickly put it down.
The movement was so fast that it seemed as if she was dazzled.
She had a guess in her mind, was Gao Tinghan secretly wiping away tears?
Yan Chan took Guan Zheng and slowly moved towards the tombstone. There were some skulls on the ground blocking the way.
In order to avoid the skull, the two of them had a hard time walking this short distance.
Standing in front of the tombstone, Yan Chan took a quick look.
Most of the tombstones were covered with cobwebs to varying degrees, but there was one that appeared exceptionally clean at first glance.
Yan Chan squatted down, and Guan Zheng's hand subconsciously grabbed nothing. She clenched her hands in the air, her fingertips trembling slightly, and she retracted her hand, which was about to be stretched out, and hid it in her sleeve.
She read out loud, "Tomb of Wanfang Realm", a tombstone with only a name on it, and no one knew who erected it.
Gao Tinghan pursed his lips and said in a very calm tone: "This is the tombstone of the Ghost King's brother."
Hearing this, Yan Chan turned her head and looked up at him. Her eyes met his calm ones, which were like a bottomless well or a black hole that led to nowhere.
At this moment, Gao Tinghan actually looked a bit like the Ghost King when he was on night patrol, mysterious and unfathomable.
He was already very tall, and Yan Chan was now half-squatting and looking up at him, feeling that Gao Tinghan's figure at this moment had a sense of solemnity.
"When are you planning to leave for Buqitan?"
Gao Tinghan's inexplicable words brought Yan Chan back to his senses.
Yan Chan curled her lips and replied in a rather distressed tone: "We have to leave this damn place first."
Gao Tinghan nodded secretly, rubbed his chin for a while, and looked lost in thought.
Yan Chan ignored him and stood up to look around at the tombstones. There was nothing special except this one.
As soon as she stood up, Guan Zheng's hand wrapped around her arm, and he pressed close to her in a very insecure manner. If there were no outsiders around, Guan Zheng would probably have gone straight into Yan Chan's arms.
"When you enter Buqi Lake, I want to ask you to help me get something." Seeing this, Gao Tinghan pretended not to see it and put on a negotiating look. A cold voice came from behind Yan Chan: "You can bet money or your life."
"What if I want to bet on humanity?" Yan Chan turned her back to him, so Gao Tinghan couldn't see her expression at the moment.
She patted Guan Zheng's shoulder gently and told her not to be afraid.
Gao Tinghan didn't expect Yan Chan to answer like that. His breath hitched, but soon his voice rang out again: "Okay, but compared to that, human nature is worthless. Have you thought about it?"
Yan Chan hummed and turned around, seemingly not caring that this was a losing deal.
Seeing Yan Chan agreed so readily, Gao Tinghan gestured to the right rear.
The figure behind the dead tree disappeared.
"Well, what do you want?"
"I want a piece of bone, a bone from the Wanfang Realm." Gao Tinghan raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.
"?" Yan Chan was surprised. Even Guan Zheng, who was standing beside him, was confused and turned to the direction where the sound came from.
Bones of the Wanfang Realm?
The body of the Ghost King's brother is in Buqi Pond?
What does he want bones for?
Yan Chan was full of doubts, but she didn't intend to ask. Everyone has secrets, and the more you know, the faster you die.
She had finally been given a chance to live again, she couldn't die so easily.
Don't think she didn't see Gao Tinghan secretly making gestures behind him just now. It was clearly a sign that she would be threatened or even killed if she refused.
The plot is so novel-like, it's worthy of being transported into a novel.
"Okay, what do the bones look like?" Yan Chan's mind already emerged with the creepy image of a pile of bones at the bottom of Bushi Pond.
Deep, dark, and piled up into mountains.
"When you see it, you'll know which one I want. It's very special and easy to notice."
Yan Chan's eyes widened when she heard what he said. So, there really were a lot of bones at the bottom of the pond?!
Life is so hard.
No pay yet.
She now began to suspect that all this was Gao Tinghan's doing, with the purpose of making her go to Buqitan to get the bone.
"Look, is that the exit?" Gao Tinghan pointed to the place where the light was coming from in a slightly exaggerated tone.
Guan Zheng tugged at her sleeve nervously. She couldn't see but could feel that the atmosphere was weird.
Yan Chan chuckled twice and played along, saying, "Then let's go and take a look."
She was now 8.6% certain that this was definitely Gao Tinghan's doing.

Inside the inn
Wu Chunlai held his head, looking a little painful.
Talking in his head again, so noisy.
"Why haven't you set out for Buqitan yet?"
“…”
"What about my big plan?"
“…”
"say."
"Shut up"
"?"
"It's so noisy"
The more the opponent's output, the more silent Wu Chunlai becomes.
After a stalemate of about a quarter of an hour, the other party cut off the connection first, apparently very angry.
Although they both had the same goal, both wanted to get the four conches and go to Atlantis to find the Dragon God.
However, Wu Chunlai really didn't want to cooperate with "him".
After all, Master Crow didn't know what wish he was going to make. If he knew, he probably wouldn't let him live.
Wu Chunlai still kept stroking his forehead with his eyes slightly closed. He tried his best to forget everything that had just happened, and even wanted to forget how he existed.
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the bustling street.
I felt envious.
