The crooked way can also lead to heaven

Little Beijing had called earlier and said that he had found the location of Lan County. Ye Ran had no doubts about this guy's information ability.

This trip is to fill the emptiness in my heart.

Ye Ran has known him for more than ten years and knows very well what Little Beijing wants.

When a person does not lack wealth but also does not lack power, his heart will be a little distorted.

Because it is difficult for ordinary things to bring him freshness, and over time, seeking excitement will become the main entertainment.

Not only Little Beijing, but also other ordinary people are roughly the same. Otherwise, why would we see news about celebrities’ house collapse all the time on the Internet?

It’s the same search for excitement, but the method is different.

Of course, for those who have never experienced it, this is just a pain in the ass.

Due to the heavy snowfall, the highway was closed. Ye Ran had no choice but to turn onto the national highway and go further before the road was closed.

The gloomy sky is depressing, and there are only occasional cars passing by on the national highway. Once night falls, the sight will only be worse than on the highway.

Lan County is still about three hours away from here. Judging from the current road conditions, the time will at least double, and we will not be able to arrive until early tomorrow morning at the earliest.

When the sky completely darkened, Ye Ran had no choice but to slow down.

The little beggar sat in the passenger seat and looked ahead quietly. Over time, he couldn't help but feel sleepy. After an unknown amount of time, he woke up and found that the vehicle had entered the village road.

He turned his head and looked at Ye Ran. He originally wanted to ask if he should rest before leaving. After all, driving for a long time is too easy to get tired.

It was just this look that made her realize that something was wrong with Ye Ran's expression.

"Master, you don't look good. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" the little beggar asked with concern.

Ye Ran just shook his head, but his frown never relaxed.

For some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable panic, accompanied by bursts of stabbing pain in his chest.

The little beggar wanted to persuade him again, but in the next second, Ye Ran suddenly vomited blood, leaned forward and slammed the steering wheel, causing the car to spin out of control!

Seeing that he was about to hit the building inside, the little beggar suddenly panicked and subconsciously reached out to hold the steering wheel.

Fortunately, Ye Ran stepped on the brakes and staggered to a stop on the road.

"Master, what's wrong with you?!"

The little beggar was so frightened that he quickly unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. He carried Ye Ran out of the car from the other side, looked left and right, and immediately ran towards the nearest house.

"Put me down."

"But, Master..."

"I asked you to put it down!"

Ye Ran's tone became a little more serious.

The little beggar had no choice but to obey and carry the man to the big tree and put him down.

Ye Ran sat up, there was a buzzing in his ears, and his vision was a little blurry.

"There are cigarettes in an urn in the trunk. Go get them for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited out a lot of blood again, and his whole body felt severe pain, and his head felt like it was going to explode.

The little beggar didn't dare to delay. When he ran to the car, he fell several times and didn't dare to cry out in pain. He got the cigarette and ran back without stopping.

Ye Ran shakily picked up the cigarette and lit it. His face looked terrible, as if he was about to die.

It wasn't until I finished smoking a cigarette that the pain on my face eased a lot.

The little beggar's eyes were full of worry. She didn't understand why the master still smoked when he was like this, but she didn't dare to ask.

Ye Ran bent over and sat down with his eyes closed. It took him a long time to recover. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were complicated.

He knew very well that the evil disease in his body had spread throughout his body. Fortunately, he did not fight with others when the disease occurred, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"What are you looking at?"

Ye Ran raised his head and found that the little beggar had been staring at the darkness in front of him, as if he had noticed something.

"Master, I seem to have seen something, but I'm not sure." The little beggar's face was slightly nervous, and he couldn't tell whether it was his imagination.

Ye Ran also followed her line of sight and looked over. After observing for a while, he found nothing unusual, so he stood up and said, "Let's go, continue on our way."

The little beggar turned around and said, "Master, why don't you take a rest? Your complexion has not recovered yet."

Ye Ran patted the snowflakes on his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "It's just an old problem. It's fine now."

After saying that, he walked towards the car. Seeing this, the little beggar didn't feel like saying anything more and could only follow.

After driving forward for some distance, the little beggar kept his eyes on the rearview mirror of the car.

Not long after, his expression changed, and he suddenly turned around and asked, "Master, can the ghost catch up with the speed of the car?"

"Of course, why do you ask?"

Ye Ran tilted his head and answered, then was stunned for a few seconds.

I saw an overhead lantern on the right side of the car window, and a tall thing was chasing the car, with its dry palms pressed against the car window.

Ye Ran looked at the car clock and saw that it was already driving at 80 miles.

"It's over, I'm going to have a nightmare."

The little beggar stared blankly at the lantern head next to him, his mouth slightly open.

Ye Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stepped on the accelerator to accelerate and leave him behind. Immediately, the car turned sideways on the road, braked and opened the door.

Seeing the lantern head behind him still chasing after him, he immediately started to form seals.

"Tao follows nature, the universe is infinite, Zhen!"

Ye Ran's hands were combined, with his fingertips facing forward. When the spell fell, a Tai Chi pattern appeared on the top of the lantern head, trapping him in place.

After being trapped by an invisible force, Lantern Head began to struggle frantically, with a lot of ghost energy all over his body.

Ye Ran was still observing this guy. Judging from the strong ghost energy he exuded, he was probably much stronger than his two ghosts, and infinitely close to the ghost.

Moreover, this look was very much like the legendary Lantern Flower Granny.

Hiss, maybe it was true!

But why did Lantern Flower Granny chase them? It didn't make sense.

Ye Ran suddenly thought of something, and then turned back to look at the trunk of the car, and immediately understood.

"You are good at calculating, but unfortunately you picked the wrong target."

The target of this Lantern Flower Granny was the ancient corpse in the car, and she wanted to seize the body.

Zombies themselves are a body without souls, and their actions are driven by instinct.

Unless they reach the level of flying zombies or above, normal consciousness can be born.

It is this vacancy that will attract the covetousness of some powerful ghosts. As long as they can seize the body of the zombie, they can be regarded as having a physical body again.

Not only that, ghosts and zombies will mutate after merging with each other.

The zombies that could only jump around originally, after gaining the ability to obtain ghosts, their strength will soar a lot.

However, after a short moment, the lamp flower grandmother broke free from the restraints.

Ye Ran was not panicked at all. He took out the black talisman and prepared to use the killing move, but then he thought, if such a good material was scattered, wouldn’t it be a pity?

There are hundreds of ghosts in the world. In addition to those recorded in the book, the ghosts born through special environments are not weaker than hundreds of ghosts at all. Subduing them is also a good combat force.

"Come out and play."

Ye Ran put away the black talisman and snapped his fingers.

At this time, the little beggar hiding in the car saw the oil-paper umbrella in the back seat shaking violently, and immediately screamed: "The umbrella has become a spirit!"

Two groups of white mist floated towards Ye Ran, and two ghosts suddenly appeared.

Ye Ran took two steps back, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said lightly: "Consume its ghost energy."

The two ghosts nodded to show that they understood, and each showed their best skills to meet them.

Although Granny Denghua has the strength close to that of a ghost demon, she has not yet reached that level.

The ghost actor and the ghost bride have worked together for a long time, and the tacit understanding between them is self-evident.

Under the joint efforts, Granny Denghua can't do anything to them. She can't drive them away, and can't kill them. She can only fight a war of attrition.

Ye Ran also has a very good mentality. He went back to the trunk, then put the portable stove on the ground rack, and pulled out a stool to sit down and watch the show.

"Little beggar, do you want to eat hot pot?"

Ye Ran put the pot on the pot and started to boil water, and said to the little beggar.

"Yes, I want to add a pack of instant noodles!"

The little beggar got out of the car and trotted over. He rummaged in his backpack for a long time and took out a lot of snacks.

So this scene happened.

Three evil spirits were fighting in the front, and two people were sitting in the back eating hot pot. If someone saw this scene, they would be shocked!

"Add more coriander, and put the meatballs and ham sausage into the pot. Why can't I see any meat after searching for a long time? Didn't you go out to buy some?"

"Meat is not easy to preserve, and there is no refrigerator in our car."

"Yeah, forget it, just eat something, your instant noodles are ready."

Ye Ran picked up half a bowl for her with chopsticks, and picked up the meatballs and stuffed them into his mouth, grinning from the heat.

Suddenly, the ghost actor shrank from the ground, and a lot of soup spilled after colliding with the table.

Ye Ran looked down, and the ghost actor also looked up at him.

The man and the ghost looked at each other.

The little beggar held the bowl and shook his head left and right, biting the instant noodles but not daring to chew them, and said nothing.

"What, do you want to put it in the pot?" Finally, Ye Ran spoke to break the awkward atmosphere.

The ghost actor panicked, and rolled and crawled to the front, and threw himself into the battle again.

When Ye Ran was full and satisfied, the battle in front was also coming to an end.

The ghost energy of the ghost actor and the ghost bride has been reduced by more than half, and it seems that they have consumed a lot.

The lamp flower grandmother is not much better, and the light inside the lantern head is also much dimmer.

Ye Ran approached slowly with an umbrella, walked in front of the two ghosts, and grinned at the lamp flower grandmother.

"You have had enough fun, then come in."

After saying that, he bit his finger, smeared the blood on the oil-paper umbrella, and threw it into the sky.

Then, he recited a complex spell, like chanting.

The oil-paper umbrella above his head slowly rotated, and several iron chains covered with thorns were extended, clanging.

The lamp flower grandmother wanted to resist, but there was not much ghost energy in her body, and after being tied up by the iron chain, even the ghost energy could not function normally.

In the blink of an eye, she was dragged into the umbrella.

Ye Ran raised his hand to catch the falling umbrella. After feeling the violent shaking, he turned his head to look at the two ghosts, who also turned into white mist and got into the umbrella.

The little beggar who had been behind was not idle either, and had packed up everything long ago.

Ye Ran threw the umbrella casually into the back seat, started the car and continued on his way.

If you want to control the lamp flower grandma, you have to plant the soul seal in her body, but before that, you have to hang her for a while, at least to torture her thoroughly.

…

The interlude in the middle is over, and the journey is about to reach the destination.

Lan County is not as close to the city as Ye Ran thought, but in a mountainous area, quite a distance away from the city.

The road into the mountain is also rugged and uneven, and because of the snow, it is even more muddy and difficult to walk.

According to Little Beijing, this Lan County once changed its name. Because of its remote location, a large number of people wanted to go out and it was impossible to stay. Later, it was changed to an ancient town.

If this guy hadn't suddenly appeared, Ye Ran might still be targeting Lan County for investigation. The final result would not only be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also result in a waste of water.

It was around one or two in the morning that Ye Ran entered the ancient town.

Unlike other small towns, this place feels strange and quite depressing.

As the car drove into the town, no one had lights on, let alone any late-night snack shop, and no one could be seen.

The style of the surrounding buildings is similar to that of ancient houses, even the floor and wall tiles remain almost original.

"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"

"The cold wave is coming, close the doors and windows, and be careful of candles!"

As soon as the two got out of the car, they heard the sound of a gong and someone shouting.

Following the sound, I saw a rickety old man walking on the street holding a lantern. He knocked and roared after taking a few steps.

"Master, what is this old man doing?"

The little beggar couldn't understand. After all, from the perspective of modern people, doing this is purely disturbing the people.

"Watchman, I didn't expect such a profession to exist in today's era." Ye Ran looked at the old man's retreating back and felt increasingly strange about this place.

Judging from the environment on the street, there are no telephone poles here, which means there is no electricity at all.

Even if it's an ancient town, it doesn't need to be so primitive, right?

The little beggar took out his mobile phone and wanted to check the Internet, but the signal was just a cross. He held up the mobile phone and walked around again, and it was still the same.

"There's no signal at all, Master, are we going to the wrong place?"

After hearing what she said, Ye Ran also took out his cell phone and took a look at it. He called Xiao Beijing, but couldn't get through.

"Find a place to spend the night first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Ye Ran walked away quickly. After driving for such a long time, it could be said that he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

After wandering around the town, I finally found a hotel that was still open. If it hadn't been for the candles that lit it up and shone a little light, I would have simply ignored it.

As soon as they entered the door, the old woman behind the counter raised her eyelids and stared at the two of them.

"People coming from out of town need to pay a deposit, a bed fee, a room fee, a hot water fee, and a food fee."

"You look like an old goblin to me!"

Ye Ran couldn't help but curse. It's understandable to pick on the wool of an outsider. Don't catch a person and kill him!

The old woman snorted: "If you can't live in love, leave it slowly and don't give it away!"

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, the little beggar quickly grabbed Ye Ran, leaned over and whispered: "Master, let's not meet her tonight. Didn't we say that little Beijing brother is here too? We will ask him for reimbursement then."

Ye Ran turned his head and looked at her with an approving look: "You are quite smart with your little head, and that's right. This old woman is picking my wool. Tomorrow I will pick the wool of little Beijing."
