Chapter 12 Ghost Eyes
"Tuoba Gu, stop for me!"

A woman's harsh voice rang in my ears.

I shivered suddenly, stopped involuntarily, and my mind was cleared up a lot.

Ancient flute!It's the sound of the ancient flute!
Why did Gu Meidi come here?
no!It's dangerous here, once you enter the locust tree forest, you can't get out. I was so anxious that I was about to remind Gu Meidi not to come in, when suddenly I saw a flash of golden light, and I heard Gu Meidi sternly shouted: "Duh!"

In an instant, the dense fog surrounding me quickly dissipated, revealing the lush forest again.

I saw the woman in the red cheongsam looking straight at me not 20 meters away from me.Even though it was so far away, I could still feel her resentful eyes, which made my heart tremble.

Gu Meidi came up from behind me, her long hair fluttering in the wind, with a stern expression on her face.

"Oh, you disobedient little girl, why did you come here? The woman opposite is very unusual, let's get out of here quickly!" As I said that, I stretched out my hand to pull Gu Meidi, wanting to take her out of here.

Then, I suddenly froze.

Because I was surprised to find that Gu Mei Di was holding a bow in his hand.

Yes, bow!

An unusual bow!
The bow was full of golden light, and the shape of the bow was a golden dragon. The dragon's head just became a handle when it was lifted up. The longan's eye was a red bead, shining like a gem.What's even weirder is that the body of the bow is densely engraved with strange spells, and an invisible aura of awe-inspiring surges out.

"You...you are..." I stared at Gu Meidi with wide eyes, speechless in surprise.

The ancient Meidi holding the divine bow seemed to be a different person, with a murderous look on his face.

"You fierce ghost, you dare to come out to harm people if you are in the sky, if you don't want to die under my dragon god's bow, you should get out!" Gu Meidi said loudly to the woman in cheongsam.

"A ghost?!" I shivered suddenly, why did Gu Meidi call that woman in a cheongsam a ghost?I carefully recalled the strange things that happened before, and I gradually believed in the identity of the woman in the cheongsam. She is really a ghost!First of all, her face was pale, her hands and feet were cold, and she was wearing clothes that did not match this era; secondly, no living person would live in such a place with such a dark atmosphere; Bajiu was also made by women in cheongsams.

Although I often insist that I am an atheist, I have been told from childhood that there are actually many things in this world that science cannot explain.So at this moment, I clearly know that I have bumped into a ghost today, and I am also a very resentful female ghost in red.

cluck cluck!cluck cluck!
The cheongsam woman suddenly laughed strangely, the laughter was sharp and piercing, creepy.

Accompanied by her laughter, a fierce wind blew up all around, blowing the leaves flying all over the sky.

Gu Meidi's eyes were like a torch: "It seems that you are going to force me to do it!"

"Buried with me! You all have to be buried with me!" The body of the female ghost in red gradually floated up, like a thin piece of paper, light and weightless.I saw plumes of black smoke suddenly rising from the surrounding ground, and those black smokes were flying back and forth in the air like ghosts, making a shrill whistling sound.The thick black mist was like a raging tide, rolling towards us from all directions.

I was so nervous that I couldn't say a word, I stood there stupidly, my legs seemed to be cramped, and I couldn't move.

"Based on your morality, you are looking for death!" When the last word "death" was said, the face of the ancient flute was as sinking as water, holding the bow in his left hand, and pulling back in the void with his right hand on the string, a golden light flashed The sharp arrow immediately appeared in her hand. The sharp arrow was more than one meter long. The arrow shone with a dark red light, and many spells were engraved on the body of the arrow.

The ancient flute draws the strings and nocks the arrow, and raises the dragon bow.

The black mist has completely enveloped us, and it is impossible to see where the red-clothed female ghost is.

However, Gu Meidi seemed to be able to see the female ghost in red. She turned around on the spot and shot an arrow in the direction of five o'clock.

Huh!
The arrow made a piercing whistling sound, piercing through the black mist, and the surrounding air was blown away.

The moment the arrow shot out, I saw all the spells on the Dragon God Bow shining, and the spells on the arrow body were also flying back and forth coiled around the arrow.

"Ah—" The female ghost in red let out a shrill roar, as if the ground trembled.

Then, in the blink of an eye, all the black mist covering us dissipated, and faint spots of light penetrated into the woods.

Only then did I realize that in just a few seconds, my whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and I felt as if my whole body was being fished out of the river, dripping water all over my body.

"She...is she dead?" I don't know if it's because of excessive fear, I can't even speak clearly.

"No!" Gu Meidi put down the Dragon God Bow, and said lightly: "I gave her a way out, and I didn't kill them all!"

As he said that, Gu Meidi turned his wrist, a golden light flashed in his palm, and the Dragon God Bow in his hand disappeared suddenly.

I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and asked in disbelief, "Where did the bow... bow and arrow go?"

Gu Meidi said: "Dragon God Bow and my blood are one, and they are usually placed in my palm!"

"So amazing?" I took a closer look at Gu Meidi's outstretched palm, only to find that the lines on her left palm were different from those of ordinary people. The lines on her left palm turned out to be the lines of a bow!I said that she only brought a few changes of clothes with me before returning to the village, and she had never seen any bows and arrows. I also wondered where she found the magic bow, which was hidden in the palm of her hand.

I looked at Gu Meidi with a face full of surprise. I didn't expect that the rumors in the school were true, that Gu Meidi really had ghost eyes.Not only that, but she also knows Taoism, which is really beyond my expectation.

Gu Meidi seemed to know what I was thinking, and said with a calm smile: "I was born with yin and yang eyes. When I was young, a Taoist priest took a fancy to my spiritual power, so he taught me a lot of Taoism!"

"You... how do you know I'm here?" I was puzzled.

Gu Meidi said: "When I brought you breakfast in the morning, I found traces of unclean things in your bedroom, and seeing your restless appearance, I felt that you were hiding something, but you didn't Ken told me, so I just followed you out secretly!"

"Traces? What traces?" I remember that there was nothing but a bad smell in the bedroom.

Gu Meidi said: "Don't forget that I am a ghost eye. You can't see some things, but I can see them. You may not believe me, but I found a pair of footprints beside your bed. Of course, you must have seen these footprints." No, because these footprints were left by ghosts, that is to say, there were guests in your bedroom last night!"

The "guest" in Gu Meidi's mouth must be referring to a ghost. I remembered what happened last night, and then I heard what Gu Meidi said, and I suddenly felt that what happened last night was real, not a weird dream .

"The female ghost in red just now had a lot of grievances. If I hadn't arrived in time, you would be dead today!" Gu Meidi said.

What Gu Meidi said is the truth, I am an ordinary person, if Gu Meidi hadn't chased away that female ghost in time, I'm afraid I've already lost my way.One day my dead body will also be hung on the big locust tree, densely packed maggots crawling in and out of my flesh.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.

"What is the origin of that female ghost in red? Why does she want to harm people?"

"People who wear red clothes and die with hatred have the most grievances. After death, they will turn into ghosts. They refuse to be reincarnated. They just want to stay in the world to harm others and vent their grievances. This female ghost in red is named Ruolan. During the Republic of China She was a Huadan who sang an opera, and later married a local warlord as a concubine. The good times didn’t last long, when the devil army invaded China, Ruolan fell when the warlord fled in a hurry. As a result, Ruolan was captured by devil soldiers, and more than a dozen devil soldiers They dragged her into this locust forest and defiled her, and finally stabbed her to death with a bayonet and hung her on a big locust tree. When she died tragically that day, she was wearing this red cheongsam!"

"You... how do you understand it so clearly?" I felt inconceivable, Gu Meidi's story seemed to be at the scene in person, she even knew the name of the female ghost in red.

Gu Meidi smiled: "The ghost eye can not only see ghosts, but also see through the ghost's past and present life at a glance. As long as I sweep her with the ghost eye, all her past will be played in my mind like a movie film. !"

I couldn't help but exclaimed: "I've been working with you for so long, and I didn't know you...you have such superpowers!"

"It's not superpowers, it's just a little knowledge of strange arts!" After a pause, Gu Meidi asked me: "Now it's time for you to talk about it. What are you sneaking here for? And you deliberately avoided it." Grandpa and I, what is the so-called thing? Is it related to the guest who entered your bedroom last night?"

The matter has come to this point, I can't continue to hide anything, so I have to tell the truth: "Actually, to tell you the truth, the guest... the guest who came to my bedroom last night (it feels weird to call a ghost a guest, and I haven't gotten used to it for a while.) This kind of name) Guess who? It’s actually the old Kuizi who we went to mourn during the day!”

"Oh?" Gu Meidi frowned, also feeling a little surprised: "What is Lao Kuizi looking for you for?"

I said: "He didn't come to harm me, he just wanted me to get something from the locust tree forest, and he said that this is my fate, anyway, I don't really understand what he is talking about!"

"Take something? What is it?" Gu Meidi asked.

I shook my head: "I don't know either. He said it was buried under the seventh big locust tree. Before I could look for it, I ran into the female ghost in red!"

"Let's go, I'll go find it with you, and find out what's so weird!" Gu Meidi raised his chin at me.
