After experiencing such a "thrilling" moment, Qianxuan and Jidao naturally did not dare to continue falling asleep. Although the light of the Huangquan Stone had been extinguished, they did not dare to be sure what caused them to fall asleep, so they naturally did not dare to take risks.
.
Ji Dao later learned that Qian Xuan had been too scared to fall asleep, so he could wake him up as soon as the light of the aquamarine disappeared, otherwise no one would know what would happen later.
Looking at Qianxuan's haggard face, Jidao naturally felt a little distressed, but his current condition was not very good. After being treated like this, it was strange that they were human beings and could maintain their peak condition.
"It seems that our courage is not as bold as we thought..."
Under such circumstances, Ji Dao would naturally use a relaxed and cheerful tone. If even he couldn't control his emotions, let alone Qian Xuan.
Only now have we discovered that emotional control can only be successful if you consciously do it. When a person is in a state of fear, all attention is focused on the object that triggers your fear.
, the kind of concentration at this time is simply in vain.
He sighed. It seemed that his ability was far from reaching the ideal state, and he would have to practice more in the future.
Qianxuan also smiled shyly when she heard Jidao's words. Fortunately, it was morning now and all the ghosts seemed to have disappeared. Naturally, she felt much safer.
"Don't blame me if I get scared and run away and leave you behind..."
"I don't blame you, I will come to you even if I turn into a ghost!"
Qianxuan somehow responded to Jidao like this, and the two of them couldn't help but laugh. But she knew that this situation would never happen.
After some laughter and laughter adjusted the atmosphere, Ji Dao took the lead in switching the topic back to the important part. After all, it was morning and they still had more than ten hours to figure out the origins of these ghosts.
"Why did the yellow quartz stone extinguish itself? According to the legend, it should have only extinguished now."
"After all, it is a folk legend. Whether there is such a thing remains to be discussed. Even if there is such a thing, it is a legend after all, and word of mouth may be different from the original version."
Jidao hummed, and what Qian Xuan said was indeed true. The stories passed down by word of mouth might be embellished, or some things might be missing, so they didn't dare to believe them all.
After all, legends, which contain some subjective emotions of people and some evil things, may have been gradually beautified through the passing of legends, and finally the legends we heard came into existence.
"Let's search nearby to see if there is any village where someone left something. After all, this is the most direct way to get clues."
Qianxuan naturally has no objections. They should really explore this area carefully. As an outsider, without any understanding, she estimates that even the wisdom of the extreme will be extremely disadvantaged.
As expected, the invisible barrier no longer existed at the entrance of the village. The two of them looked at the still forest in front of them, but there was a sense of gloom in their hearts.
People are not allowed to go out at night here, so I don’t know what the situation is like here at night.
According to efficiency, the two of them should act separately at this time, but for safety reasons, they dare not separate. No one can guarantee that there will not be "ghosts" like that at night during the day. It's okay for the two of them to be together.
There is a care.
This area is surprisingly large...
The two of them stood at a high place and looked out, but they did not find any other human settlements, which naturally made them quite distressed. It can be said that there should be only this village in this area.
It was almost noon, and it was really difficult to decide whether to continue exploring or return to the village.
"Based on the current situation, it is safer to return to that village. If we don't find such a gathering place before six o'clock at night, we don't know what terrible things will happen by then. What do you think?"
"Just decide."
"Okay. Then let's go back. Maybe there are some other clues in the village."
...
But when we arrived at the village gate again, this small village seemed to have undergone some wonderful changes.
Looking at the series of footprints at the door, Ji Dao naturally became alert!
"It seems like someone is back..."
Jidao said in a deep voice, his face expressionless, but his mood was a little heavy. Because there was no data to show that this series of footprints must have been left by one person.
But unexpectedly Qianxuan said this:
"Let's chase!"
Looking at that somewhat stubborn face, Ji Dao also smiled. Yes, fear is a huge obstacle if you don't take that step!
Following the footprints, Jida came to a house.
There was a rustling movement in the house, and Ji Dao naturally did not dare to be careless. He immediately pulled out Kuang Lan, carefully opened the door, and then slipped in very quickly without making any sound during the whole process.
The footprints were deeply imprinted on the dust in the courtyard, and the rustling sound still kept ringing in the house. Just as they held their breath and prepared to enter, the door suddenly opened at this moment!
I only saw a shirtless man carrying a huge baggage. Judging from this posture, he should be fleeing from here.
After seeing that there was a person inside, the two of them naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and Jida was even a little happy.
But what about that man? When he saw two strangers breaking into the house, holding murder weapons, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, and kept muttering:
"Uncle! Please spare me. I really ran away because I couldn't do anything anymore. Please forgive me this time because I have contributed to the organization! These, these are all given to me.
you!"
After saying that, he slowly untied the baggage in front of him. Only then did Jidao realize that there were all kinds of gold objects inside. Jidao was also amazed. It should be considered a big deal for a mortal to have so many gold objects in his home.
Up there, he was a powerful person. But here, he is just an ordinary civilian.
When Qianxuan on the side saw the man's frightened expression, she suddenly felt compassion. Looking at his thin body, he must have experienced high-intensity labor!
"Don't worry, we are not from your organization. Can you tell us everything you know?"
