Chapter 7 Phoenix God (6)
◎A pool of thick blood slowly overflowed from under the veil.◎
"Are you okay?" Xie Songjin asked, "As soon as I saw you walking up the mountain at this hour, I knew what you were going to do. How could you be so stubborn, you poor kid? You're asking for death..."
Before having formal communication with Xie Songjin, Gu Qiufeng thought that he looked like a flamboyant peacock and had a very favorable impression of him.
Now it seems that he is indeed a handsome guy, but it’s a pity that he opened his mouth.
Gu Qiufeng stared at Xie Songjin's red embroidered shoes, and heard Xie Songjin's constant chattering. He felt like his head was about to explode. He said coldly, "Shut up."
"Damn it, you're so mean to me, brother, what's wrong with you?" Xie Songjin wanted to talk more, but Gu Qiufeng covered his mouth with his hand.
He also saw that when Gu Qiufeng covered his mouth, he had a look of disgust visible on his face.
Xie Songjin: “.”
He was a little hurt. -_-!
However, Xie Songjin is also an old player after all, and now he finally realized that Gu Qiufeng is different.
Xie Songjin stopped making a fuss and instead raised his eyes to ask Gu Qiufeng what was going on.
Gu Qiufeng had no way to say it. He was not sure how the ghost behind Xie Songjin would react after he said it, so he could only whisper: "Don't look back."
The village chief said that the bride must not be seen by outsiders before the wedding. But there was no restriction on whether a dead bride was also considered a bride. They did not have a second life to test this vague death condition.
So Gu Qiufeng had to subtly remind Xie Songjin not to look back.
He kept his eyes down, trying his best to avoid seeing the bride's face.
We have to think of a way to help Xie Songjin get rid of this ghost.
Gu Qiufeng calmly opened the mall, ready to look for some ghost-exorcising talismans or something.
[Help, I'm so anxious, someone please give him some tips, the average person can't afford something like the ghost-chasing talisman]
[I think he's going to fail. He's a newcomer and hasn't really stood out. The price of the ghost-chasing talisman is really expensive. We all live on points, and we don't have enough points to get him enough to buy a ghost-chasing talisman.]
[Wow, but I still miss my wooden cub. Never mind. I’ll give him a little reward first. I’ll buy him whatever I can.]
[If a big guild takes a fancy to him, they will definitely give him points, but this newcomer is too ambitious and ranked at the bottom of the newcomer list. Who will give him money? Anyway, our president doesn’t think he is a good person.]

"President! Look at this live broadcast room!"
A boy wearing a British-style vest and shorts hurried over. His ring was projecting an electronic fluorescent screen, which was the live broadcast room of the Phoenix God copy.
The man in the live broadcast room was wearing a black suit, which made the gloves on his hands look even whiter.
"Hmm?" The person called the president turned around in her gaming chair. She had long hair that was curled into big waves and spread out behind her. She had a bright face and was biting a lollipop. She glanced up nonchalantly and commented, "She's pretty, but her live broadcast room is ranked too low. She's of no use to us."
The British-style boy was actually overwhelmed by the barrage of comments, but has just come to his senses. He thought to himself that this was true. When recruiting people, guilds usually look at commercial value and personal ability. It seems that this newcomer named Gu Qiufeng does not seem to be relevant at the moment. They are not a small guild, so how could they do charity?
Oh, but he really loves watching the wooden boy dance QAQ!
"You like this new guy very much?" The president said, biting his lollipop into pieces. "He has awakened a skill?"
British-style boy: "..."
Does making the little man dance count?
"Wait. The guy next to him..." The president was stunned for a moment, then said, "This kid is really good."
Before the British-style boy could react to the sudden change in the president's attitude, he saw the president read a few comments to figure out what happened, and decisively hit a SC of 10,000 points.
The British boy was shocked: "!!!"
He spoke incoherently: "President, do you really want to recruit new people? Don't we need to wait for the vice president to come back to discuss this matter? And..."
The president said coldly: "The last word. If you say one more word, I will let you play a B copy."
The British-style boy just shut up pitifully, and then said: "Then President, if I enter B, will you reward me so many points?"
The woman raised her red lips, then poked his head with one hand and said with a fake smile: "You dream faster."
"Send the live broadcast room number of this newcomer to my terminal. I want to see what charm he has that makes you come to me for help." said the president.
"I'm not interested in people who don't have the ability." She peeled another lollipop and put it in her mouth, staring lazily at Gu Qiufeng in the live broadcast room, "I hope I won't lose money on this investment."

Gu Qiufeng was just about to give up and let Xie Songjin find a way to buy the ghost-exorcising talisman himself, and then he ran away. However, before he could even close the mall interface, a mechanical voice reminded him that someone had rewarded him with 10,000 points.
Gu Qiufeng: “!”
He became rich overnight.
However, the audience named "Cherry Tomato" just gave points coldly without even saying a word.
The situation was urgent and Gu Qiufeng had no time to think about it. He quickly used his 10,000 points to buy an exorcism talisman, exchanged it in his hand, and quickly put it on Xie Songjin's forehead.
An inhuman roar of pain suddenly came from behind Xie Songjin, followed by a burnt smell.
"alright."
Gu Qiufeng took the talisman off Xie Songjin's forehead.
As soon as the talisman fell off, it automatically turned into ashes in his hands.
This made the poor agent Gu very sad.
Eight thousand points are gone just like that, this is a money grab!
Xie Songjin finally relaxed his body. He held his shoulders and shook his joints, saying, "Thank you, brother. I'm sorry for the expense. I will repay you later."
"It's okay, the main thing is to save myself." Gu Qiufeng said.
He looked around and found that the thick fog had not yet dissipated. In addition, there was a beggar boy who had just resurrected and was wandering around on the mountain. It just so happened that the clues he had found today were almost complete, so Gu Qiufeng glanced at Xie Songjin and asked, "Let's go down the mountain?"
Xie Songjin had originally followed Gu Qiufeng up the mountain, so he naturally said, "Let's go quickly, so as not to run into that fake corpse."
Gu Qiufeng simply responded.
They had just been hiding in the woods because of the resurrected teenager, and now if they wanted to go down the mountain, they had to walk on the mountain road.
Gu Qiufeng could only pray that they would have better luck and not run into the beggar boy as soon as they went out.
However, even wearing white gloves did not prevent his hands from being dirty. Just as Gu Qiufeng was about to walk out of the woods, he saw a familiar figure floating in the distance: "..."
Gu Qiufeng quickly stopped, turned around and hid in the woods again with the confused Xie Songjin.
"Damn it," Xie Songjin said, "If the stalemate continues, we'll miss dinner at the village chief's house."
Gu Qiufeng said: "I have a solution."
It was an emergency situation where he had no choice, otherwise Gu Qiufeng would not want to expose one of his trump cards.
He took out a wooden figurine from his jacket pocket and whispered to the figurine in front of the dumbfounded Xie Songjin, "Go out later and attract the attention of the corpse ghost. We will go down the mountain first, and then you find a way to go down the mountain and go home to wait for me."
Xie Songjin swallowed his saliva: "How do you control the wooden man? Have you awakened your skills?"
"No, this little guy is easy to talk to." Gu Qiufeng said, "He's just a little timid sometimes."
But it doesn’t matter, any NPC that can earn points for him is a good NPC!
After a while, Gu Qiufeng felt that it was about time, and dragged Xie Songjin, who was already shocked beyond words, down the mountain.
Xie Songjin looked back and found that the corpse ghost was actually attracted by the villain and did not even look at the escaping player.
Xie Songjin was confused: "...Why do I feel that the movements of the wooden man are a little familiar?"
Gu Qiufeng said: "It's normal. It's doing the eighth set of national radio gymnastics."
Xie Songjin: “Ah???”

Gu Qiufeng and Xie Songjin arrived at the village chief's house at the right time.
Seeing them coming, Yu Bo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, everyone go in." The village chief clapped his hands and said, "I hope everyone enjoys their meal."
However, this meal was destined to be a unhappy one for everyone.
I don’t know what the village chief’s intention was, but he actually put eight stools there.
Because Yu Shang was dead, there was an empty seat at the dining table.
It was like a huge death countdown, openly mocking the players.
So who will die tonight?
Although the players were silent and everyone was busy eating, the panic still spread invisibly and silently.
As Gu Qiufeng was eating, he noticed that the man in the black mask sitting next to him suddenly began to tremble.
However, he thought Shang was in a much better mood, at least the chopsticks did not fall.
Gu Qiufeng withdrew his gaze and continued eating the food on the table.
"Tonight, please ask this lady to take care of the bride."
The village chief was referring to Yu Bo.
Yu Bo was calmer than Luo Pan. Perhaps she had already prepared countermeasures for this death condition since yesterday.
Old players have neither points nor combat experience, so it is very likely that other players will die tonight.
After selecting their players, the players' expressions became even more solemn.
After Yu Bo stayed, everyone else had to return to their rooms before dark.
When Gu Qiufeng returned, he already saw the wooden man on the table.
After a few days of getting along, the wooden man was no longer so afraid of Gu Qiufeng. When he saw Gu Qiufeng coming back, he approached him proudly and asked for praise.
Gu Qiufeng listened to the mechanical voice beside his ear announcing a series of rewards and praises for the "cute little man", touched the head of the wooden man, and said "thank you" sincerely.
His room is still very cold.
Gu Qiufeng was also exhausted after a long day and was just about to go to bed when the little guy jumped off the table and blocked his way.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qiufeng asked.
The wooden man immediately started running in small steps.
It came under Gu Qiufeng's bed and pulled out a red veil.
The red veil was spread on the ground, and something seemed to be wriggling inside.
A pool of thick blood slowly overflowed from under the veil.
