Chapter 132: The thing under the tree has become a spirit
Director Li was even more confused when he heard this. He subconsciously touched his face, looked down at his surroundings, and asked in confusion: "Lolo, what's wrong with uncle? Don't scare uncle."
Jia Luo blinked her big eyes, as if thinking of how to describe it. After a moment, she said, "Uncle, your forehead is dark and your luck is down. If you accept this movie, you may not have to spend money on meals in the future!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard what Carlo said.
Director Li himself was even more shocked. Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, he knew that there were undercurrents and all kinds of open and covert struggles that were hard to guard against.
Although he was skeptical about what Carlo said about metaphysics, he couldn't help but feel scared when he saw her determined look and remembered her miraculous ability to help the set solve the evil spirits.
He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and nodded carefully: "Lolo, since you said so, uncle believes you. I will definitely keep this talisman paper, and I will put the movie matter aside for now and wait and see. You, child, are really uncle's lucky star. If it weren't for you, uncle would have fallen into trouble again."
Jia Luo smiled sweetly, waved his hand and said, "Hey, Director Uncle, you are a very lucky person. If someone asks you to film a TV series, you can give it a try!"
"Okay, Lolo, uncle will listen to you! Be careful on your journey!" Director Li's face was full of gratitude and he put the talisman carefully into his pocket.
After Director Li left, Wen Yan asked in confusion, "Luo Luo, you said Director Li doesn't have to pay for meals in the future, what does that mean?"
“Hmph, I told you to read more, but you didn’t listen. You insisted on herding sheep while studying. Now you don’t even know such a simple truth.” Wen Lingyue complained.
"Dad... give me some face in front of Lolo!" Wen Yan said helplessly.
"Fourth brother, you are so stupid. Director uncle doesn't have to pay for meals, which means that his meals in the future will be paid for by others!" Jia Luo explained.
"Isn't that good?" Wen Yan curled his lips and responded nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Wen Lingyue was immediately furious, and said with wide eyes: "Yes, yes, that's good. According to what you said, it's really good to have the state provide meals in the future!"
"Ah?" Wen Yan was startled, a trace of panic flashed across his face, "You mean, he will... go in?"
Jia Luo nodded like a little adult and said seriously: "Fourth brother, this is not a good thing. Although someone pays for the meal, you have no freedom! Director uncle is a good man, we have to help him."
Wen Lingyue touched Jialuo's head and said with relief: "Lolo is still sensible. However, since you have noticed some clues about Director Li's matter, you have also reminded him. What happens next depends on him."
"Yeah, Master once said that it's hard to persuade a ghost with kind words!" Jia Luo agreed.
Wen Yan was scratching his head, and although he was still a little confused, he also knew the seriousness of the matter.
The three of them packed up their things, said goodbye to Wen Yan, and set off for Yunwu Mountain with Dahua.
Along the way, Jia Luo frowned, his face full of solemnity, and his mind kept recalling the few words that little Qilin mentioned about Yunwu Mountain.
Wen Lingyue saw through her thoughts and comforted her softly, "Lolo, don't worry, you already have a lot of merit. Even if we can't find the evil spirit that Xiao Qilin mentioned in Yunwu Mountain, we can look for it somewhere else. No matter where we go, Dad will be with you!"
"Dad, as long as we encounter it, we have to solve it, otherwise, more innocent people will suffer. Just like that female ghost sister, if we don't intervene, more people will definitely be killed!" Jia Luo raised his head, his eyes revealing a firmness that was inconsistent with his age.
Wan Yan nodded and agreed: "Luo Luo is right, we can't just sit there and watch the evil spirits harm people."
After an unknown amount of time, the three of them finally reached the foot of the mountain. They saw clouds and mist lingering around, and the mountain peaks were looming in the distance. It was like a fairyland, but it was also a little chilly.
Just as he was about to enter the mountain, he was stopped by an old man chopping wood: "Young man, you can't just go into Yunwu Mountain. The mountain is very foggy and dangerous."
Jia Luo took a step forward and bowed politely: "Grandpa, what's in here?"
The old man put down the firewood on his back and said with a smile: "Little girl, there are evil people in Yunwu Mountain! Before, a few hunters in the village bravely went in, hoping to hunt some game, but they disappeared after entering. When they were found, they were dumbfounded, with empty eyes and mumbling incomprehensible nonsense, as if they had lost their souls. Some people also said that at night, there were bursts of strange noises coming from the mountain, like crying but not crying, like howling but not howling, which makes people's scalps numb."
"Now, people around here don't dare to go into the mountains. They chop wood and so on outside the mountains. Look, it's so cold outside on such a hot day! Little girl, go play somewhere else with your father and brother! You can't go in here..."
After saying this, the old man left with the firewood on his back.
Jia Luo looked at the old man's back as he left, his face becoming more solemn. He turned to look at Wen Lingyue and Wan Yan, and said softly, "Dad, Fourth Brother, there must be an evil spirit in this mountain. Let's go in and take a look."
The three of them tidied themselves up and cautiously moved towards the depths of Yunwu Mountain.
As soon as we entered the forest, a damp and cold mist hit us in the face, instantly obscuring our vision, and we could only see the surroundings a few steps away.
Wen Lingyue held Jialuo in his arms, Dahua squatted on Wan Yan's shoulder, and Wan Yan held a peach wood sword and looked around vigilantly.
As we walked, a cold wind suddenly blew by, and the leaves rustled, as if countless hidden eyes were peeking at us in the dark.
Jia Luo's heart tightened, and he whispered, "Dad, Fourth Brother, there's something!"
At this time, Dahua jumped off Wan Yan's shoulder and ran into the mist ahead.
"Dahua!" Jialuo shouted anxiously, making a move to chase after her.
Wen Lingyue quickly hugged her tightly and whispered, "Don't panic, Luoluo. Dahua may have discovered something. Let's catch up."
Wan Yan held the peach wood sword tightly and led the way. Several people carefully chased in the direction where Dahua disappeared.
In the mist, one can only determine the location of the big flower by the occasional slight noise.
After chasing for a while, I saw a blurry shadow in front of me. When I got closer, I could see it was Dahua. It was circling an old and sturdy tree, making "meow meow" sounds from its mouth.
This big tree has lush branches and leaves, but the trunk is a strange blue-black color, and there seem to be faint lines on it.
Jia Luo crawled down from Wen Lingyue's arms, walked gently to Dahua's side, squatted down and stroked its head: "Dahua, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this tree?"
Dahua rubbed Jialuo's hand with her head and gurgled a few times in her throat, as if in response.
Wan Yan walked forward and looked at the tree carefully, his expression becoming more serious: "This tree..., why is it so evil?"
Wen Lingyue also walked forward and paced around the tree to observe. He reached out and gently touched the trunk. A chill instantly ran through his fingertips into his body, making him shudder: "Hiss, why does this tree look like it's made of ice? It's so cold."
Upon hearing this, Jia Luo also stretched out his little hand to touch the tree trunk, then instantly pulled it back with a look of surprise on his face: "Dad, it's really cold, freezing to the bone."
Dahua also touched the tree trunk with its claws, and meowed because it was frozen. It quickly retracted its claws, jumped to the side and shook them.
Jia Luo looked at him and said with a smile: "Da Hua, are you stupid? I told you it was cold, but you still insisted on touching it with your paw. You must be frozen!"
Dahua looked at her resentfully and wanted to lick his paws, but when he saw the strange tree in front of him, he hesitated and put his paws down.
Wan Yan frowned, holding the peach wood sword tightly, and paced cautiously beside the tree: "This Yunwu Mountain is very evil, I'm afraid this tree is going to become a spirit!"
"Fourth Brother, you are wrong. The tree is not a spirit. It is the things under the tree that are spirits!"
