Chapter 189 But Be Careful About Fire Candles

"I heard that you promised Lao Bai to go to the West?"

The old ghost didn't mean to open his eyes wide at all, and asked in a calm tone.

"Yes, Mei Yu'er's life is at stake, and she needs a thousand-legged human face mushroom from the dense forest as medicine..." Xiao Yu said weakly.

"What else did she want?" the old ghost asked.

"We need to borrow the demon queen's phosphorus bone, and... to find the Liufang Blowing Snow Sword." Xiao Yu answered truthfully.

At this time, the old ghost's half-closed eyes slowly opened, and there was a glint of light in the all-black eyes, and there was a flash of cruelty in them.

Xiao Yu could feel that the old ghost's aura instantly cooled down.

Lin Keqing, who was behind her, held an umbrella and listened very quietly. She was very clear about the changes in the breath of ghosts.

Under the umbrella, her expression became cautious, because this was the first time she had felt such a reaction from the old ghost these days.

The three of them were silent for a while, and after a while, the old ghost's breath eased, he narrowed his eyes again, and continued to shake the rattan chair quietly.

"Well, I see, let's set off in three days, sooner rather than later, we can't delay..."

The old ghost's tone was calm, and he couldn't hear anything unusual.

Xiao Yu hesitated, and then said: "But Aunt Bai wants me to go to her place to retreat for half a month before leaving, and take blood for Mei Yuer to suppress Gu poison..."

"That's it...then leave in half a month, don't worry."

Saying that, the old ghost waved his hand towards Lin Keqing.

At this moment, Lin Keqing slowly approached Xiao Yu, and saw her wave her sleeve, and a black scroll appeared in her hand.

"This is the map of the Subterranean Territory that Master taught me to copy in advance. It took me a lot of thought."

After handing the scroll to Xiao Yu, Lin Keqing pouted and said proudly.

Xiao Yu took the scroll and nodded her thanks, but she fell into deep thought while looking at the heavy thing in her hand.

She looked at the old ghost and was silent for a while.

"Uncle Gui, don't you have anything else you want to ask me?" She finally opened her mouth.

However, the old ghost just shook his head slightly, still squinting his eyes to bask in the sun.

"Then what do you want to ask me?" The old ghost imitated Xiao Yu's tone and asked back.

"Yes... and no."

Xiao Yu lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, her mind was already surrounded by countless doubts, as if since she took the first step into the Southern Demon Realm, countless doubts had slowly accumulated.

She didn't know why she met the old ghost, she didn't know why she strayed into the absurd secret realm, and she didn't know why she came to the oasis world so smoothly, and she didn't know the relationship between Bai Jingyi and the old ghost.

There were so many things that she couldn't understand happened in the oasis world, so many that Xiao Yu didn't know where to start.

Just lowering his head and thinking, the old ghost's deep laughter came from his ears.

When she suddenly looked up, she found that the old ghost was smiling badly, wondering what he was thinking about.

This expression made Xiao Yu very disturbed.

"Hehe...it's getting late, since you have nothing to ask, then go back." After the old ghost said, he ignored her.

"Uncle Gui, why do you want me to be Shuangshuang's master..."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yu still asked the most curious question in his heart.

But she waited for a long time, and the old ghost didn't give any answer. In desperation, Xiao Yu could only turn around and leave in despair.

At this time, the voice of the old ghost behind him came again faintly:
"Although the climate in the south is humid, you should also be careful with candles."

Xiao Yu froze, looked back, and found that the old ghost was still in the original posture, and he just opened his mouth.

Although she was puzzled, she just answered and left with Lin Keqing.

Lin Keqing was humming a ditty all the way out of the grass field, looking very excited.

This made Xiao Yu curious, she shook the scroll and tilted her head.

"You are so happy, is it because of this?"

Xiao Yu pointed to a place in the scroll and asked.

The place she pointed to was exactly the place called the wandering place that the old ghost once said in the endless forest.

Xiao Yu could tell that Lin Keqing must have painted this place many times, and even the color was darker than other places.

Lin Keqing nodded, but then shook his head again.

"Not quite."

"What is that?" Xiao Yu raised his eyes and asked.

"I just like the feeling of being down-to-earth now. You know, more than half a year ago, when I just regained consciousness in the palace of Huo Li Kingdom, I never thought that this day would come again. I thought I would be here It turned into ashes, and then was forgotten by everyone... But it's different now, I want to go to the Paradise with you."

At this time, Xiao Yu and Lin Keqing were pacing in an open space outside the Fangcaodi where the old ghost was.

Although the flowers and plants here are not as luxuriant as that area, but fortunately the road is flat, and the footsteps are soft and comfortable in the green grass.

And Lin Keqing was talking like this, while walking step by step, as if every step had to make a footprint to make her happy.

"So, you decided to go to the Wandering Land? I remember Uncle Gui once said that if ghosts in the Paradise Realm want to be reincarnated, they must enter the Wandering Land, and then they can be reborn after entering the reincarnation disk..."

Xiao Yu stopped and asked with a very serious expression.

Seeing her being so serious, Lin Keqing burst out laughing suddenly.

Under the oiled paper umbrella with red flowers on a white background, Lin Keqing's slender cyan figure looked extraordinarily beautiful, and on her warmer face, Xiao Yu saw a relaxed smile that she had never seen before.

"I will not tell you."

Suddenly, such a sentence came out of her mouth, and then she turned around and left with her umbrella in her hand.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by her mischievous reply, then a smile appeared on her face, and she followed Lin Keqing and left the place.

The two talked and laughed all the way back to the Fujiya, but Xiao Yu did not find Wei Chengshuang and Lu Yiran in the Fujiya.

After asking, I learned from Hu Tao'er that these two girls heard that Qin Lin and Da Hui were practicing in the forest, so they clamored to join in the fun.

After hearing this, Xiao Yu inexplicably began to feel sorry for Qin Linlai. Those two little girls were not quiet and docile people, and mischief was probably inevitable.

After that, Xiao Yu also learned from Lin Keqing that Hu Tao'er's sweetheart was the lumpy Eagle Ge, and he was so surprised that he couldn't keep his mouth shut for a while.

Time passed quickly, after the rare gathering, the row of rattan houses at the foot of Yinxuefeng Mountain had already been filled with afterglow, which indirectly reminded Xiao Yu that it was time to go to the appointment.

Following Lin Keqing's prompt, Xiao Yu came to Qin Lin's room.

At this time, she knew that there was no one in the room, but she stopped at the door for a long time before making up her mind to open the door.

The journey was hasty, ever since he met Qin Lin, separated, reunited, and experienced the long journey in the endless forest, Xiao Yu was always a little depressed.
