Li Rushi's face immediately felt like it was on fire, but she never had any expression, so it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Bai Tan was startled when he saw that he didn't move, neither admitting nor denying. However, Li Rushi quickly adjusted his emotions. As the identity represented by this body, he was a mature man in his thirties, and he shouldn't lose his composure because of Bai Tan's test.
After a while, the man's deep voice sounded: "Miss Bai Tan, I am already over thirty years old. Do you think my Yuan Yang is still there?"
But after a moment, he changed the subject: "But I can agree to your conditions, but I don't know what your sister's current situation is, so I can only try my best."
For Bai Tan, these words were enough. She really had no other choice but to pin her hopes on this stranger whom she had only met once.
I hope he can really do it.
Li Rushi made an appointment with Bai Tan to check for her sister Bai Zhi in the evening. As for the afternoon, she would leave it to Xie Jingshan and the others. Since arriving at this place, the amount of information the players had before was unequal. If they wanted to pass the level as quickly as possible, they needed to share clues with each other.
As for Bai Tan's suggestion of helping her to make a copy, Li Rushi thought that it was just for fun, and not to be taken seriously. What if this girl had a back-up plan, or she changed her mind later? Wasn't the choice up to her?
Li Rushi sorted out his thoughts and came to the gate according to the route he remembered. To his surprise, Xie Jingshan and Yang Liu were already waiting there.
Xie Jingshan was leaning against the pillar in front of the door, folding his arms and looking very impatient. He was handsome, and even with a frown he still looked very handsome. Li Rushi was originally in a normal mood, but after seeing Xie Jingshan, his mood improved a little.
Li Rushi: I don’t admit that I am a face-obsessed person.
Female players are more careful. When Yang Liu heard the footsteps, she turned around and found that it was Li Rushi. Then Xie Jingshan seemed to realize something and turned around suddenly. The moment he saw Li Rushi, the expression on Xie Jingshan's face changed and immediately turned into a big smile. Yang Liu saw his expression change so quickly and couldn't help but glance at him, and Xie Jingshan restrained himself a little.
But thinking about it, Xie Jingshan felt angry again: "Li Cong, can you first explain what those women said yesterday? What do you mean by you are their brother-in-law?"
Instead of answering the question, Li asked them, “I suggest we share information first… Do you know where the other players are?”
Xie Jingshan had always had a temper like a young master, so how could he tolerate Li Rushi ignoring him like this? He stepped forward, grabbed Li Rushi's arm and was about to question him. He couldn't tell what his mentality was, but when he heard that Li Cong was going to be with one of the women, he was so angry that he wanted to tear down this broken temple.
But how could Li Cong... How could he avoid talking about this matter? What was this? What was the worry and thoughts he had had that night?
This kid is quite strong. Li Ru used his strength to break free from Xie Jingshan's restraints. The tall man's eyelashes drooped slightly. His eyes were obviously very calm, but inexplicably carried a sense of oppression, as if he wanted to lock Xie Jingshan's whole body.
"Xie Jingshan, do you remember that this is a dungeon? In a dungeon, you have to prioritize the mission and your life. Don't tell me you don't understand. So stop making a fuss and try to find a way out first, okay?"
Li Cong is usually not a very cheerful person, but he rarely speaks in such a serious tone. Xie Jingshan felt that his anger suddenly faded. He nodded, pursed his lips and said no more.
Li Cong was right, it was him...he was impulsive.
Yang Liu stepped out to smooth things over at the right time: "We are all teammates, so let's not hurt the harmony. Then, Brother Cong, you just mentioned sharing information? Let's sort this out first?"
Walls have ears. Li Rushi nodded and followed Yang Liu and Xie Jingshan to where they stayed last night. It was a small courtyard with a small space. It looked more like a woodshed or a stable. The room was open-air and covered with hay. Li Rushi sat on the hay without any hesitation. Xie Jingshan followed suit, but the young master was thin-skinned and tender, and was soon pricked by the rough hay.
The unfortunate child really couldn't take care of himself. Li Rushi didn't bother to pay attention to him. In comparison, the fragile Yang Liu looked much more reliable at this moment.
"Let me tell you what I know first. This is an illusion. It's inhabited by women, basically all ghosts. The leaders are a pair of sisters, Bai Zhi and Bai Tan. They have been ghosts for no less than a hundred years, so their strength should not be underestimated. My idea is, don't get into conflict with these women unless it's absolutely necessary. After all, two big ghosts plus dozens of small ghosts are enough to give ordinary people a hard time."
Yang Liu immediately replied, "When we entered the illusion, we fell into the lake. I'm a pretty good swimmer, so I went down to take a look and found that the lake was full of corpses, both male and female. I wonder if they are the corpses of the female ghosts."
Xie Jingshan was more and more stunned as he listened: "What? Are you talking about a female ghost? A corpse?" He muttered to himself: "Don't we always advocate science? What are you talking about?"
[Hahahahahahahaha, Xie Jingshan’s expression is exactly the same as the expression I had when I first watched my wife’s live broadcast! ]
[Young Master, you haven't played many copies, right? Wuxin Ghost Talk is famous for its weirdness and horror. 】
[Now that you are here, why are you still fussing about this? If I say so, just do it! ! ]
[I guess Brother Xie's heart must have been greatly shocked now. The world of science is gone forever. Welcome to the world of metaphysics! ]
【Xie Jingshan: Why do you all seem so proficient? Am I the only one who feels something is wrong? 】
In Tianyi Sect, hunting down demons and catching ghosts is a common practice. The Sect Leader, Li Rushi, and the tomb-raiding lieutenant have seen a lot of weird things and know that there are indeed ghosts in the world. That's when Yang Liu remembered this.
Ah, Xiao Xie is just an ordinary person, and he may not be able to digest what they said.
Fortunately, the eldest young master's thinking is usually quite eccentric, so after being confused for three to five minutes, he reluctantly accepted it. It's just that he sat a little closer to Li Cong - Li Cong is not afraid of ghosts, so he should get closer to get some yang energy?
Li Rushi ignored him. As long as he wasn't sticking to her body, it would be fine. She continued to discuss with Yang Liu: "I don't think the corpses in the lake belong to female ghosts. After a person dies, their souls fly out and can be called ghosts. Normal ghosts should drink Meng Po soup to reincarnate after staying in the world of the living for seven days. But if the soul doesn't leave, it means that either it has become a fierce ghost and the boat of the underworld can't carry it, or it has been detained by someone and can't leave at all. If a ghost can get its own corpse, it will not be controlled by people, so I think that it is not the corpse of a female ghost."
Yang Liu nodded. She didn't have as much knowledge in this area as Li Rushi did. Xie Jingshan listened to them talking about a female ghost and a corpse, and felt his teeth chattering. He just forced himself to listen to it as a horror story.
But Li Rushi suddenly stopped talking, and the young master's heart was itching. He looked at Li Rushi with sparkling eyes, waiting for her to continue. However, Li Rushi was as hard as iron, and gently pushed his head away with her hand, and then said: "I originally thought that those women were the people behind the scenes, but I didn't expect that the person who controlled them was still behind. So, I will try to find the trace of the controller, and you can follow me in and look for other players."
Yang Liu said that it was no problem. In fact, she was also very worried about her sister's safety. Since Li Rushi said so, he must have his confidence. Yang Liu respected the strong, so she would listen to him. Oh, there was also a big guy.
The big guy Xie Jingshan had no objection. He was a man who would get to the bottom of things, and was afraid that Li Rushi would be angry, but he was also very curious, so he asked her in what he thought was a very quiet voice: "Li Cong, those women are all pretty, are you really not attracted to them at all?"
Li Rushi stood up and glanced at him: "It's best not to believe what those female ghosts say. Besides, I went in less than an hour before you. What can I do in there?"
Xie Jingshan grumbled unconvincedly: "Why isn't one hour enough? Maybe you'll be quick..." He stopped talking the moment Li Rushi glared at him, "If you didn't do anything, then you didn't do anything. Why are you so angry?"
Li Rushi thought that he was just envious and jealous, or afraid that she would be tempted and disrupt the progress of the dungeon. She thought about it and felt that it was necessary to give this young master a reassurance.
Then Xie Jingshan heard Li Rushi, who had already walked away, say calmly: "I like men, so you can rest assured that I will not act on my emotions."
Audience: Oh my god! If you say that, Xiao Xie will only be more worried, okay? ? ? ?
There were also some gay people in Xie Jingshan's live studio who were envious of his body, so when they saw his expression change, they started to joke:
[Oh, my dear son, tell me the truth, are you attracted to Li Cong? ]
[He avoided my gaze, that’s for sure! He’s only shy and doesn’t dare to look at someone when he likes them, okay? ? ? ? ]
[You are in trouble. You have fallen in love... But Brother Cong is really handsome. If they can pass this instance safely, I will go to Brother Cong's live broadcast room to play in the next instance.]
[That is, players cannot jump back and forth between live broadcast rooms. Otherwise, I would have to go and see what good this little fairy who has bewitched my husband is! ]
Xie Jingshan didn't ignore the comments. He saw a lot of teasing words and some people wished him to catch up with Li Cong soon. Xie Jingshan turned his head away, thinking what the hell was going on, but his heart seemed to be blossoming.
So, Li Cong had this in mind... Should he take the initiative to give it a try? Li Cong also had feelings for him, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of saving him while he was rolling in the desert.
Seeing that Li Rushi's back was about to disappear, Xie Jingshan raised his leg.
He went up to her. It was not easy for him to find such a charming person. He had to keep a close eye on her and not let those female ghosts snatch her away!
When Xie Jingshan arrived, Li Rushi was already waiting at the gate of Hanshan Temple. When she saw him and Yang Liu, she didn't say anything, but led them into the courtyard wall. Not long after, the lamp-bearing girl and Bai Tao came gracefully. Because it was daytime, they didn't light the lamp, but the maids also crossed their hands on their lower abdomens, obviously they had received a lot of love. Xie Jingshan took a quick look at the group of female ghosts. They were all ordinary and vulgar, no wonder Li Cong looked down on them.
Perhaps following Bai Zhi's order, Bai Tao worked quickly and had already cleaned up the guest room where Yang Liu and Xie Jingshan were staying. Xie Jingshan asked suspiciously, "Why do I want to live alone? I want to live with Li Cong!"
Bai Tao showed a perfect smile: "You are a guest, so of course you should stay in the guest room. As for my brother-in-law, he has his own place to live."
Xie Jingshan was about to get anxious, but Li Rushi pulled his arm and whispered in his ear, "Have you forgotten that I am...? I won't do anything beyond the line, so don't make trouble, just stay at home and discuss anything with Yang Liu first, okay?"
The "hmm" at the end was extremely provocative. Xie Jingshan felt half of his body go numb, and the floral scent from Li Cong slowly blew to his nose. He had previously said that Li Cong was very effeminate when he used this scent, but now he didn't think so. The floral scent... how elegant and mature it was! He liked the floral scent the most!
The comforted young master was more cooperative than expected. Xie Jingshan reluctantly followed Bai Tao, and the time for Li Rushi and Bai Tan to meet was up. He declined the lantern girl's offer to lead the way, and walked away in a flash.
This time, I don’t know whose room I will walk into.
Bai Tan's attitude towards seeking cooperation was quite sincere, and he didn't play any tricks on this matter. Li Rushi's memory was not wrong. According to the route in her mind, this route did lead to Bai Tan's room.
Bai Tan was already waiting in the room. When she saw Li Rushi, she was visibly more excited. She didn't ask when her sister would be rescued, but instead asked about the situation of "Li Cong's" friends.
Whether it was true or not, Bai Tan would always know it. Although she was born blind, Bai Tan was still a big ghost. She would not fail to sense whether there were a few strangers in her territory. Therefore, Li Rushi just said "hmm" and did not say much. Seeing this, Bai Tan lowered his head a little sadly, but immediately sorted out his emotions and smiled softly at Li Rushi: "Then Conglang, come with me. My sister is here. She is not in a good condition. You have to be mentally prepared."
Bai Tan said this, but he did not move. Instead, he reached out and gently twisted an inconspicuous small ornament on the right side of the bookshelf. The rosewood bookshelf moved away without making any sound, revealing a dark passage inside. Bai Tan moved his fingers slightly, and all the lights in the passage lit up.
Bai Tan said softly, "Come with me." The hem of her skirt left a slight mark, and she moved with lotus steps, walking in front of Li Rushi.
In order to avoid Bai Tan's sudden attack, Li Rushi made a gesture, held the lightning-struck wood in his hand, and then followed her footsteps.
However, this distance was not long, Li Rushi estimated in her mind. They walked for about a cup of tea. It seemed that the two sisters really had a good relationship, so their rooms were not far apart.
The passage came to an end. Bai Tan groped on the stone wall and pressed down a stone with three fingers of his right hand at shoulder level. Li Rushi heard the sound of the bookshelf moving again.
But when she walked out, she found that Baizhi's room was completely different from what she saw last night!
