Chapter 311: Ghost? Isn't it behind you?
Chapter 311: Ghost? Isn't it behind you?
There was a muffled "bang", which was particularly clear in the darkness.
"Who? Who's there?" The woman suddenly felt like she was facing a great enemy and her eyes swept towards the dark corner.
"Don't be nervous, we're just traveling together." Since he was exposed, Zhai Lei didn't hide any more. He rubbed his leg and limped out from the darkness.
Explain: "You take yours, I take mine, we don't interfere with each other..."
Before he could finish his words, the other party showed no martial ethics and slapped him with a palm.
Fortunately, Zhai Lei reacted in time and held her palms with his hands.
However, because of the numbness in my legs and feet, I accidentally bumped into the bookshelf behind me when I stepped back.
The "clang~" sound was more than twice as loud as before.
"There seems to be some movement up there!" The sound instantly alarmed the disciples guarding the pavilion below.
"Thump, thump, thump~" The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The woman made a quick decision, opened the window, jumped down, and disappeared into the night.
Zhai Lei wanted to follow closely, but the mission was not yet completed...
His main legs and feet had not yet recovered, so he had to hide in the dark again.
Soon, two disciples dressed in the Taiji Xuangong sect uniforms appeared at the stairs holding oil lamps.
It's a combination of two extremes, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin.
"Brother-in-law, is there a ghost?"
The short and fat man was shaking like a Parkinson's patient.
The raised feet seem to be moving, but in fact they are standing still.
The Sutra Repository has been haunted for some time.
It is said that many years ago, a junior sister in the sect was wronged and hanged herself here wearing a red dress.
The specific reason is unknown.
Since then, people have often heard creepy crying sounds coming from the Sutra Library in the dead of night.
Word of the story spreads from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people. Now everyone knows about it.
Although the sect elders repeatedly emphasized that this was just a rumor, few people believed it.
It’s because this Sutra Repository is very strange, and anyone who comes here cannot release their spiritual consciousness.
Moreover, the temperature here is like winter all year round. Even in the hottest days of summer, it is like an ice cellar.
"You and I are both cultivators, upright and honest! What kind of ghosts and monsters would we not step aside to see?"
The tall and thin man beside him spoke in a high-sounding manner, but he took a few steps back and said, "Well, you go over there and take a look. If you don't find anything, we'll leave."
"Ah? Why... why me?" The short and fat man was shocked and shook even more violently.
Seeing his cowardly look, the tall and thin man immediately frowned and scolded him: "Do you still want to marry my sister? My sister likes men with courage the most!"
"I...Gu~" The short and fat man swallowed his saliva, and finally took a step forward for his own lifelong happiness.
He stretched his neck to take a quick look, then immediately retracted his gaze. "Nothing unusual. Let's go."
"Look at you, you're such a coward! How can I trust you to hand my sister over to you?"
The tall and thin man kept shaking his head and said as he walked, "When the salary is paid tomorrow, remember to ask your sister out so I can develop some feelings for her..."
"Then you have to call your sister out too."
"Okay, you'll treat me then..."
The voices of the two were getting farther and farther away, and Zhai Lei, who was hiding in the dark, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he agreed with the short and fat man's statement. This place was too weird and there might really be ghosts there.
"Looks like I have to hurry up."
Zhai Lei didn't want to stay here any longer, so he blew into his palms, stretched his muscles, and continued searching.
And the bloody figure above his head kept following him around in the Sutra Library.

As time passed, Chi Yu, who was squatting in the bushes to keep watch, gradually felt sleepy.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he curled up and leaned against an old tree and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it was before I felt someone pushing me. When I opened my eyes, I found it was my second senior brother, who was covered in cold sweat and had a dark face.
"Are you suffering from kidney deficiency? Why are you sweating so much?" Chi Yu looked at him in surprise.
"No, you don't know. This Sutra Library is so fucking weird!"
Zhai Lei wiped the sweat from his forehead, patted his chest and said with lingering fear, "Not only is it freezing cold in there, but I also feel like something unclean is following me, and my head is always cold."
"Indeed."
Chi Yu nodded, stood up and pointed behind him, "Hey~ the one in red, your eyes are wide open, and your tongue is almost sticking into the back of your neck..."
"what!?"
Zhai Lei was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.
He turned his head tremblingly, but found nothing.
"At this time, could you please stop making such silly jokes?"
Zhai Lei thought she was trying to scare him on purpose and couldn't help but complain.
"Look at my face, do you think I'm kidding you?"
Chi Yu pointed at his shoulder with a serious expression and said, "Don't you feel that your shoulders are a little heavy?"
"It seems a little bit..." After she reminded him, Zhai Lei really felt like someone was sitting on his shoulder, and it was a bit heavy.
His voice was trembling: "Is there really a ghost? Why can you see it but I can't?"
Chi Yu did not answer his question, but looked coldly at the red-dressed ghost hanging on Zhai Lei's shoulder.
His tone was cold: "We have no grudges against you. I advise you not to bother my senior brother, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
"You...can, see...me?" Intermittent voices came out from Apia's mouth. It was obvious that she was also surprised that Chi Yu could see her.
"Is this strange?" Chi Yu curled his lips. You know, he already has one at home.
Moreover, the age since death must be much longer than the one in front of him.
"I hate it~" Apia sighed towards the sky. The temperature around him dropped suddenly. Gusts of cold wind blew up, making it impossible for Chi Yu to open his eyes.
“Stop, stop, stop! Take away these free special effects!”
Chi Yu glared and scolded, "The mature ghosts have already started practicing, and you are still here complaining about the heavens, the earth, and the air! Do you have any ambition at all?"
"But I really..."
"Oh, that's enough! I'm very busy right now and don't have time to listen to your miserable experiences! I'll talk about your story later."
Chi Yu no longer paid attention to him and turned to look at Zhai Lei, "Did you get the things?"
Zhai Lei silently took out a jade box from behind his back and said, "I got it, but there's a lock on it.
I have observed that this lock is a high-end product from Qianjifang. If it is opened by force, the jade box will be automatically damaged. Otherwise, we should take it back and find a locksmith..."
"No need to look for it. When it comes to lock picking, no one in this world is more professional than your Master Chi." Chi Yu yawned, pulled out a thin wire from the sole of his shoe, and started to fiddle with the keyhole.
"Hey, can you please do this? Don't mess around with this lock, it's..."
"Click~"
Before he could finish his words, there was a slight click and the lock was opened.
