The evening wind whistled past, blowing yellow sand all over the sky and almost extinguishing the campfire.
Wu Heng turned around and was about to tend to the flames when he heard Lei Zi lower his voice and say faintly, "Gui Gu has appeared."
What?
Wu Heng raised his head in a daze, followed the other party's deep gaze and looked into the distance, and saw a huge black shadow suddenly appear in the yellow sand.
The black shadow was like a camel hump, rising at both ends and collapsed in the middle, hidden in the night with a mysterious aura.
The people nearby packed up their things and set off. Wu Heng and Xie Chenan turned around and wanted to call Ye Lan, but found that a hand had pulled open the curtain first.
"It's time to go." Xiao Yunting only opened the door a crack without looking inside. His deep voice was magnetic and charming.
If other girls heard this, they would probably feel so safe that they would want to throw themselves into his arms immediately.
Fortunately, Ye Lan was not asleep. She quickly came out of the tent dressed neatly and had no intention of paying much attention to the man.
Wu Heng and Xie Chenan finally felt a little relieved.
On second thought, Xiao Yunting has already confirmed his relationship with Qu Yueqing. Given Ye Lan's personality, he would definitely not get involved even if he likes her.
In short, Xiao Yunting is no longer a threat.
It was agreed in advance that the camel caravan would not enter Guigu.
So the group then walked together with their bags on their backs.
The temperature dropped sharply at night and everyone put on cotton clothes. It was not an easy task to move forward in the soft sand in the low temperature.
After walking for less than half an hour, the electric eel was already panting and sweating profusely. It waved its hands and said, "I can't do it anymore. Who can help me carry the backpack?"
He sat down on the ground and said he couldn't walk anymore.
Although Lei Zi and the others were also out of breath, they were still able to handle it with ease. So, very professionally, one of them carried the bag while the other held the electric eel to give him strength and set off again.
"I told you I needed help." The electric eel praised his foresight and showed his gentlemanly demeanor at the right time, "Isn't there a young lady here? Go and help too."
After he finished speaking, he looked up and looked behind him, and found that he was the last one in the group. He turned back to look at the front, and counted through the crowd one by one, and finally found that Ye Lan was actually the first one.
"I don't need it." The girl's voice was clear and cold, blowing over with yellow sand, her breath was steady without any fluctuations.
"..." The electric eel was embarrassed for a moment, and pretended to casually pull back his arm that was on Lei Zi's shoulder, indicating that he could do it.
As a grown man, he can't be outdone by a little girl.
In fact, he was not the only one who was outdone.
Guigu seemed to be very close, but it actually took two hours to walk there. When we arrived at the entrance of the two hills, everyone was almost exhausted.
Lei Zi and the others drank two bottles of water in a row and shivered from the cold water, but they were so thirsty that they had no choice but to stop.
At this time, they found that the four people of Wu Heng in the queue were still standing, with a relaxed posture. Especially Ye Lan, who looked frail, did not sweat at all, and walked steadily at the front throughout the whole process.
Only at this point did they realize that their employer was not only rich, but might also be a cultivator.
"Hey, there are vegetation and buildings in this place. Where did they come from?" Xie Chenan in the front was already looking at the scenery between the two hills and couldn't help but be surprised.
Lei Zi got up, cigarette in hand, and walked over to the others. He peered inside and said, "It's said that Baquan was once an ancient post station, but it was later abandoned and only the place name remained. Seven years ago, there was an earthquake here, and the post station somehow moved to this Ghost Valley. However, no one who went in to investigate survived."
It's hard not to feel cold when hearing this kind of story in such a deserted place in the middle of the night.
The electric eel rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and said optimistically with a smile: "It's okay. There are at least a hundred people at this offline party. It's so lively, so it will definitely be fine."
Besides, they are not ordinary people.
With this belief, all the teams present did not retreat. After a brief rest, they turned on their flashlights and walked towards the center of the valley.
The hill that suddenly rose up in the desert was a thousand feet high, and the fractures on both sides really looked like it was split into two. There were scattered trees growing on the mountain walls, and a small stream slowly meandered across the ground.
Everyone followed the stream all the way inside and approached a courtyard standing in the middle.
The courtyard surrounded by earthen walls had no door, but lights were on inside and the sound of opera singing could be heard flowing out.
When Ye Lan and his group entered, they discovered that a stage had been built in front of several mud houses. A female actress in costume was performing on the stage, and many people had already sat down to listen to the music.
"Isn't this a party? Why are we listening to some little tunes?" Electric Eel asked in confusion, pulling his good brother Xie Chenan.
Moreover, not even the blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners among the people around him raised any objection.
"This is called a ghost play. It's performed in places with strong yin energy to appease the ghosts. They use the place to perform. Didn't you notice that their faces are painted extremely white?"
Although Xie Chenan is not from the Xuanmen sect, all cultivators in the world are one family, and he is more familiar with some basic common sense than the technical geek Electric Eel.
Hearing the sound, the electric eel carefully observed the actress's face, and was suddenly startled by the other party's gentle turn around, revealing her pale face and red cheeks.
"This is indeed not a beauty that a living person can appreciate." He covered his pounding heart and sat obediently in the audience to show his support.
People are not allowed to believe in superstitions. Everyone present is from the X Forum's expert list and is knowledgeable. Even foreigners know that there are many things in the world that cannot be explained by science. No matter how much they don't believe in superstitions, they will not be so stupid as to disrupt the ceremony.
However, after they sat down, they heard whispers from the side.
