My frequent visitor is actually Liyue Qixing!

"Hey! No!" Xiangling waved her hand and refused, trying to look at the others and said, "Look at her, look at her!"

"Well...Xiang Ling is indeed too scared." Yun Jin said on the side: "Would it be better if someone is with you?"

"Probably, no." Xiang Ling immediately grabbed Lu Qingci's arm and said, "Master, you..."

At this time, Lu Qingci had just filled the bonfire with dry wood, and had not listened carefully to what the others had just said.

Seeing Xiang Ling pulling her, she subconsciously thought that Xiang Ling wanted her to accompany her, so she nodded and said, "Can I accompany you? Okay."

"No, no, I want you to..." Xiang Ling struggled for a while, and then said: "Forget it, you go with me, I am willing to admit defeat!"

"If you are really scared, you can choose not to go." Hu Tao said.

After hearing Hu Tao's provocative words, the fire in Xiang Ling's heart was instantly

759

It started to burn, "Who said I didn't dare to go? I'm going now."

Xiangling pulled Lu Qingci aside, turned to the people and said, "You guys watch, I'll go right away."

After the words fell, before anyone else could say anything, Xiang Ling took Lu Qingci's hand and walked forward.

The walk around the river is not very long. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk directly down and walk around the temple on the other side.

But the problem is that we have to pass through a forest, and after bypassing the temple, we have to pass through a forest.

The spacious road is scary enough, but if there is a river next to a dense forest, and the sky is now dark, then the scary level is over the top.

Lu Qingci only felt that the hand holding him was very light at first, and he was moving forward very quickly.

It wasn't until the two of them gradually walked into the forest that the steps ahead gradually slowed down.

I saw that the originally menacing figure gradually slowed down, and the hand holding his own gradually became colder, and he held it tighter.

"Master!" Xiang Ling turned around and did not walk in front as before. Instead, she hugged Lu Qingci hard and walked to Lu Qingci's side, even falling a little behind.

"Don't be afraid."

Lu Qingci gently touched the hair of the girl in front of him. Judging from the girl's expression, he knew that she must be too scared, and she had just struggled with Hu Tao, so she walked too far in one breath. Only now did she know Feeling scared afterward.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer punishment together with me." Xiang Ling held Lu Qingci's arm, and the two of them walked forward in small steps.

Very few people set foot in the woods here, so there are so many branches in the woods that you might be scratched by the branches if you are not careful.

The two of them carefully paid attention to whether there were any obstacles under their feet, and they also paid attention to the branches in front or on the left and right sides.

"What's the point? Even if you don't say anything, I might still recommend myself."

"Why?" Xiangling cautiously poked her head out and looked up at Lu Qingci's profile. Under the wisps of moonlight, Lu Qingci's face was blurry and clear.

"You should feel more secure if you are with me again, right?" Lu Qingci turned his head and said to the girl walking beside him.

"That's true... maybe it's because you are tall and big and can completely block me!" Xiangling gestured, "I feel like you can even fit me in."

"It's good to have a little sense of security. It's not in vain for me to accompany you on this trip."

"Hmph...Hu Tao too, that's too much!" When Xiang Ling mentioned this trip, she thought of Hu Tao's proud face just now and said, "I knew she would come up with some bad ideas, but I didn't expect to come up with something like this.

At most, I thought they would let me go somewhere, or scare me.

But I didn’t expect that it would be such a long journey.

Fortunately, I asked someone to accompany me, otherwise I would be really sad if I was alone. "

"I remember Xiangling, didn't you often sleep in the wilderness before?" Lu Qingci said: "Why weren't you so scared before?

It was because of the rumors here that you were even more scared. "

"I don't know why." Xiang Ling said, "I do often stay in the wilderness.

I had it myself, and I had it with Guoba.

But it's true that I didn't feel so uneasy.

It may have been because of the rumors at first that I was a little resistant to this place.

After that, I felt that this place was really weird.

It is clear that sunlight can also shine through in other forests.

So even if the trees are dense, there is still a little bit of sunlight coming in.

But it's different here, even though the sun was so strong when we came here, the air was so hot.

But you can't see any sunlight here, and it's even colder.

What scares me the most is probably the will-o'-the-wisp I saw.

Floating in mid-air, flickering, faint blue... just like the one over there. "

Following Xiang Ling's words, Lu Qingci looked over and saw a faint blue object in the shape of a spark floating in the air.

It seems to be flickering with the wind.

"No, ghost, will-o'-the-wisp!" The moment Xiang Ling suddenly reacted, she jumped up and burrowed straight into Lu Qingci's arms.

Although Lu Qingci subconsciously wanted to push away, after thinking about it, Xiang Ling was so scared that he didn't let go. He held Xiang Ling with one hand to prevent Xiang Ling from falling from his body, and casually broke it off with the other hand. A branch was thrown towards the will-o'-the-wisp.

The moment the straight branch touched the will-o'-the-wisp, the will-o'-the-wisp seemed to be scattered, and then gradually disappeared.

"It's okay." Lu Qingci patted the girl on the back.

At this time, the girl was lying in Lu Qingci's arms, her hands were tightly around Lu Qingci's neck, her legs were wrapped around his waist, and her whole face was buried in Lu Qingci's chest.

"Is it really gone?" The girl's muffled voice came from Lu Qingci's chest.

"It's really gone." Lu Qingci said softly: "If you don't believe it, just open your eyes and take a look."

After hearing what Lu Qingci said, the girl slowly raised her face, then turned around, only to see the place where the will-o'-the-wisp was originally.

760

It was pitch dark by now.

"It's really gone." The girl was a little surprised, but at the last thought, the will-o'-the-wisp had suddenly disappeared again, so she didn't think much about it.

After hesitating for a moment, he patted Lu Qingci on the shoulder, indicating that he could put himself down.

When the girl's feet landed on the ground, she said to Lu Qingci very apologetically: "I'm sorry, master.

I just jumped over suddenly, didn't it hurt you? "

"nothing."

"It's okay... After all, I'm a little heavy. If it hurts you or presses you, you must tell me. I will take you to see Mr. Bai when you go back."

"You're not heavy at all." Lu Qingci patted Xiang Ling's head and said, "Didn't you realize that I just fixed you on my body with one hand?"

"Is that so?" Xiang Ling can't remember it anymore. After all, who can remember this at the moment of fear?

"Let's go quickly. The original 10-minute walk is almost going to take us two minutes." Lu Qingci said to the girl beside him.

I saw the girl on the side hugging Lu Qingci's arm very consciously, and then the two of them continued to walk forward.

"Why are there so many will-o'-the-wisps here? Is there really something wrong here?" Xiang Ling looked around cautiously, and then said, "I don't know how many people have died here."

"Do you know how will-o'-the-wisps are formed?"

"There are many ghosts, so there are probably will-o'-the-wisps." Xiang Ling thought carefully about what she had heard before, and then said, "I heard that will-o'-the-wisps are lamps lit by ghosts."

"The formation of will-o'-the-wisp is actually a natural phenomenon." Lu Qingci shook his head and denied Xiang Ling's statement.

"Natural phenomenon?" Apparently Xiangling didn't understand something.

Seeing that the girl in front of him didn't know the way, Qing Ci explained to the girl: "There is a substance in the bones of humans or animals.

When that substance dissolves in water, another substance is produced.

Maybe you haven't heard of it, but that substance is called phosphorus oxide.

When phosphorus oxide reaches a burning peak, it burns into the will-o'-the-wisp we see.

Because the will-o'-the-wisp is very light, when you move when it is burning, it will flow with our movements. "

"So there are really human bones in the place we passed by just now?" Xiang Ling only felt scared for a while, and she didn't know how many people died in this place.

Although I am not afraid of these, I am still afraid of unknown will-o'-the-wisps.

"It's possible, but the greater possibility is that they are animal bones." Lu Qingci comforted: "After all, there are many wild boars here, and there are also some animals.

It's possible that some animals died nearby, their bones exposed in the air.

Most likely it won't be human. "

"Do animal corpses produce will-o'-the-wisps?" Xiang Ling thought about what Lu Qingci just said. Although she didn't know what the thing called phosphorus oxide was, she probably knew that it was not a lamp lit by ghosts.

"Of course, although the appearance of animals is different from ours, some ingredients are still very similar."

"Then I probably understand." Xiang Ling felt much less afraid at this time.

He didn't know whether it was because Lu Qingci was around, or because Lu Qingci explained to him the origin of the will-o'-the-wisp.

Seeing the girl beside him feeling much relieved because of his words, Lu Qingci sighed in his heart, "You really have to believe in science."

Although most of this world has no science, the will-o'-the-wisp thing should be universal.

Although it is not difficult to guarantee whether there are ghosts here... Ying has said that he has seen ghosts before, and Paimon also said so.

But Lu Qingci hasn't seen it with his own eyes, so he doesn't completely believe it.

Just as Lu Qingci was walking and explaining the origin of the will-o'-the-wisp fire to the girl, the two of them had successfully bypassed the temple and walked through the forest behind.

Until the two of them walked out of the forest, they could see a few people beside the fire not far away.

The two of them walked across the stones in the middle of the river, being careful not to let their shoes and socks get wet from the river water.

"You are back? Why so slow?"

After seeing the two people coming back, everyone looked over worriedly.

The return time for the two of them was indeed a bit too slow. It took about 10 minutes for the two of them to walk for more than 20 minutes.

"If you don't come out, we will go looking for you." Hutao looked at the two of them with great concern.

Although Hu Tao knew that the ghosts here would not hurt people casually, Hu Tao was really worried when they disappeared.

What if Yun Jin hadn't said just now, 'What if they came out right after you entered and missed them?' 'Stop yourself once and she might have gone looking for it.

"I just met another will-o'-the-wisp on the road and took a detour." Lu Qingci said calmly, without telling what Xiang Ling was afraid of just now.

Xiangling glanced at Lu Qingci very gratefully. Others could also see it, but they didn't say it directly.

When Lu Qingci saw a pair of eyes staring at him, he smiled and nodded to Shen He, saying that he was fine.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Hu Tao did not say a word, because Yun Jin also persuaded Shen He when she persuaded him.

"Then shall we continue playing?" Xiang

761

Ling asked.

Although Xiangling wanted to continue playing, she wasted too much time because of her.

She was afraid that playing this game all the time would delay playing other games, so she asked this question.

"Let's play this." Hutao said, "It's too dark now, so we definitely can't play cards.

We can play for a while longer, chat and look at the moon later.

The moon is not very bright now when it comes out. "

So the few people returned to the bonfire again, added fuel to the bonfire, and then handed all the sticks to Lu Qingci.

So after these people took away the wooden sticks, they immediately began to look for the victims.

When they discovered that the person holding the longer wooden stick was Shen He, everyone's thoughts changed.

"Do you choose truth or dare?" Hu Tao asked Shen He first.

Before the other party could reply, Hutao spoke again: "You don't have to choose to take a big risk, you can also choose to tell the truth.
