"Don't worry about him, just continue talking about your method!" Zhang Meng pulled Gu Mingtai's arm and continued.
Gu Mingtai, who had not paid much attention to Di Zhi in the first place, quickly withdrew his attention.
He started talking to Zhang Meng about the topic they had discussed before, "The only way now is to find the evil ghost that controls the ghosts of these villagers. Only by finding that evil ghost and killing it can these villagers who are controlled by it be freed."
Zhang Meng nodded immediately, already holding the house-guarding sword in her hand. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find that evil ghost and kill it."
After saying that, Zhang Meng noticed that the man in front of her was frowning.
"What's wrong? Any other questions?" she asked, looking at him.
"This evil ghost is too cunning. I have been fighting with these villagers here for so long, but I still can't find where it is hiding." Gu Mingtai said with hatred on his face.
Zhang Meng held his veiny hand and patted it soothingly. "Don't be angry. We will find it eventually. It's just a matter of time."
At this moment, a smug voice sounded from beside them, "Just because you can't find it doesn't mean I can't find it. I'm an ancient monster. Searching for ghosts and monsters, this kind of trick is a piece of cake for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young couple's eyes immediately focused on him.
"You have a way, you are not lying to us, are you?" Zhang Meng looked at him with suspicion.
When Di Zhi saw her look, his calm mood was immediately destroyed. He jumped up in anger and said, "Zhang Meng, you underestimate me, Di Zhi. I am an ancient demon beast. Nothing can defeat me."
Zhang Meng chuckled. Di Zhi gritted his teeth in anger and immediately closed his eyes.
Less than two minutes later, his eyes suddenly opened and one hand pointed to a pond in front of them.
"What you are looking for is in the water." He looked at them and said with a smile.
Zhang Meng followed the direction he pointed and saw a pond. She laughed and said, "Di Zhi, you didn't find it and pointed randomly. This is a pond. Do you think such a powerful ghost would hide in a place like this?"
Di Zhi took a deep breath and said, "I won't argue with a woman like you."
After saying this, he walked to the edge of the pond and said, "To your naked eyes, this place looks like a pond, but it's not a real pond. Have you ever heard of a ghost covering your eyes? This thing in front of me is almost the same as a ghost covering your eyes!"
Zhang Meng frowned as she listened. "What are you talking about? What's with the ghost covering your eyes? It's similar to that. I don't understand."
"I think I understand!"
Gu Mingtai looked at her and said, "He means that the pond we see is not actually a pond, but an illusion created by the evil ghost."
Di Zhi clapped his hands in satisfaction, "You're right, that's exactly what I meant."
Zhang Meng glared at him and muttered quietly, "What an afterthought."
At this moment, Zhang Meng realized that she had been here for a while, but she had never seen Wang Qingliu.
"Gu Mingtai, where is Wang Qingliu? Isn't that guy following you?"
As soon as she finished asking, Gu Mingtai frowned and looked around with a gloomy face. "He was captured by an evil ghost. We came here to chase the evil ghost, but ended up running into the ghosts of these villagers."
"I say, if you two have anything to say, can you wait until this matter is resolved before you say it? I'm telling you, if you keep talking, those lovely warriors behind you will be exhausted to death by those immortal ghosts!"
Di Zhi curled his lips and reminded them in a sullen manner. Zhang Meng glared at him.
Then he looked at Gu Mingtai and said, "Gu Mingtai, although Di Zhi is not very reliable, I think what he said is quite right. Let's not find and destroy that damn evil ghost first."
Gu Mingtai nodded.
He turned around and walked towards the pond with firm steps.
Zhang Meng was startled when she saw this and quickly grabbed his arm, "What are you doing?"
"It's okay, it's just a non-existent pond. As long as we don't let it deceive us in our hearts, it'll be fine." After saying that, he stretched out a hand to her.
Zhang Meng took a look, the corner of her mouth suddenly raised, and she put her hand in his.
The young couple looked at each other, closed their eyes, and walked towards the pond in sync.
After walking a dozen steps with their eyes closed, the couple suddenly felt that they were passing through a thin thing. It was like foam, the kind that would burst at the touch of a finger.
"Brother Gu, Zhang Meng, why are you here too!" Before the young couple could open their eyes, a surprised voice floated into their ears.
Zhang Meng immediately looked towards the source of the voice and shouted in surprise, "Wang Qingliu, why are you here? Didn't your brother Gu say that you were captured by an evil spirit?"
Wang Qingliu, who was tied to the tree, laughed bitterly. "I don't know what happened. I was indeed captured by an evil ghost. I just don't know how. The evil ghost tied me up here and disappeared."
Zhang Meng immediately looked around the place with a wary look on her face. Wang Qingliu smiled, "Zhang Meng, don't worry, the evil ghost isn't here! I've been here for so long, and I haven't seen it come out!"
Only then did Zhang Meng put the talisman paper in his hand back into his backpack.
"Can you two please put me down first? I've been tied here for a long time and I'm so tired." Wang Qingliu said.
Zhang Meng smiled and immediately said, "We'll come and rescue you!" After saying that, when Zhang Meng was about to go up, his arm was suddenly grabbed by Gu Mingtai who was standing next to him.
Zhang Meng looked at him puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
Gu Mingtai pursed his lips, "Don't you think it's a bit strange for him to be here?"
Zhang Meng frowned, then immediately looked around at Wang Qingliu. Soon, her frown relaxed, "Gu Mingtai, this Wang Qingliu is real, not a ghost."
Gu Mingtai nodded with a serious face, "I know he is real, but I feel that it is a bit wrong for the evil ghost who captured him to leave him here like this!"
Zhang Meng touched his chin and asked, "Should we save him?"
At this moment, Wang Qingliu began to anxiously shout at them to let him down.
Gu Mingtai stared at Wang Qingliu who was tied to the tree, "Let him down, but I'll go back."
When Wang Qingliu saw Gu Mingtai coming over, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Brother Gu!"
After untying him, Gu Mingtai looked at him and asked, "Wang Qingliu, did you see clearly where the evil ghost that caught you went?" Wang Qingliu quickly shook off the rope and shook his head. "No, it was something like a gust of wind that caught me. I didn't see the evil ghost clearly. What happened?"
