Travel through Sand Sculpture Snow Tea Plane Wandering Records

Chapter 50
Coming out of the small county town with the same name as Asue's family, Gui Yi drove non-stop to the next stop.After a four-hour drive, the place is already lit up with thousands of lights.Dong Mo had contacted friends in the town in advance to solve the problem of accommodation for several people.

After dinner, Axue and Chacha wandered on the street.

Duozhai is an undeveloped ancient town, strictly speaking, it is more like an ancient village.

The typical residential style completely retains the original style.Wet cobblestone roads, old teahouses with a sense of time, strings of corn cobs hanging under the eaves, and a few children chasing each other and laughing and playing on the narrow ancient street.There are also donkey friends who come here especially, sitting outside the hotel in twos and threes, playing and singing the guitar.Or classical or popular ballads are sung in the streets and alleys.

Someone put a lamp by the river.Chacha pulled A Xue, picked out two pink lotus lanterns, lit candles, and watched them float far away before returning.

The Duozhai that Dong Mo mentioned refers to a remote island in the south of Duozhai Town.There is only one arch bridge connecting the whole island.The island is sparsely populated and filled with mist all year round.Due to the narrow road, it was impossible to pass the car. The four of them and one ghost set off with their luggage on their backs after breakfast.

The roadside scenery is beautiful, but it looks quite desolate.A few families lived sparsely on the mountain, patches of moss fell on the cracks of the yellow mud rammed walls, and half of the bamboo fence was covered with unknown green vines.Occasionally, the backs of one or two old people and children appear, walking slowly on the stone path with shaky steps.

"Here we are." Dong Mo said.

"Let's set up the tent first." Su Mingyan ordered.

The arch bridge is longer than expected.Can't tell the age, it was repaired with bluestone slabs.Long snakes are carved on the railings, and the ends are twisted and connected together.The pattern is slightly rough, and the scales have been polished by time and running water, and are bare, leaving only some shallow nicks.

The opposite island is shrouded in smog, the water is dark green and dark, and green algae float on the surface of the lake and ripple with the waves.An ordinary lake island.But in Su Mingyan's view, there was a faint ominous smell.

Several people found a leeward place and set up a tent.It just rained yesterday, and the ground mixed with mud and rocks is wet and slippery, and it feels dirty when you step on it.If it wasn't for Dong Mo's presence, Chacha would have wanted to turn on Xingcha directly.

After the tent was set up, Chacha and Axue sat down on the ground and ate the snacks they brought from the hotel.Su Mingyan walked around the periphery of Huxin Island.

"How is it?" Dong Mo asked with concern.

"Let the ghost take a look at it at night." Su Mingyan said, "There is too much resentment, so be more cautious."

It took a long time for Ghost One to prepare.The straight black suit also unknowingly turned into a black Taoist robe.Fortunately, the island is quite remote, and almost no one comes.The mobile phone signal in the mountains is not good, so Chacha dragged Axue and Dong Mo to fight in the tent for the landlord all afternoon.The winter sun shone warmly on his body, Su Mingyan lay on the dry grass and fell asleep directly.

The ghost sat cross-legged in the middle of the clearing.Close your eyes and concentrate, concentrate your mind, the patterns on the cuffs of the clothes are flowing, and the loose black hair is blowing away with the wind.If one ignores the gathering yin qi, one would be like an independent immortal, wanting to ascend to the sky.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the ghost floating in mid-air opened his eyes.The whites of the eyes were replaced by ink, and there were fragments of light flickering in the dark pupils, which looked like a star-studded night sky upon closer inspection.

The hem of the clothes rattled, and the gathered yin energy condensed into silk threads around the ghost, weaving a chessboard with him as the center.The stars are projected on it, and the canopy, Tianrui, Tianchong, and Tianfu, with the waving of the sleeves, turn into brilliant colors, and the nine stars light up and go out.

No matter how many times Gui Yi's astrology has been seen, Su Mingyan is still shocked.He was sleepy just now, but now he is awake.

"Tianzhu, Southwest, see the blood, there is no danger." Gui Yi whispered the result.The twinkling star on the astrolabe had intertwined blood lines, bright and enchanting, emitting a charming faint light.

Su Mingyan quickly found the exact location following Gui Yi's clues.

"Is Gui Yi talking about the measuring ruler, or a baby with a breath similar to mine?" Chacha asked.Tianzhu corresponds to a Yin star, the five elements belong to gold, and it likes to kill and fight. However, Chacha prefers to call it Ursa Major η.

"It's all there." Su Mingyan said.

The ghost slowly fell from the sky, the stars faded, the chessboard collapsed, and everything returned to peace.He nodded slightly towards Su Mingyan, turned around and disappeared in place.

Several people discussed and decided to explore the island at night while it was hot.

Su Mingyan was in front, Dong Mo was behind, Chacha pulled A Xue, opened the star pen and walked up the stone bridge.

As soon as he stepped on the stone ladder, he felt that the atmosphere around him had changed.Dense fog rose from the bottom of the bridge, and the stone bridge originally built of bluestone glowed with white light, and the cold touch extended from the feet to the shoulders and arms.With her head down, Chacha took two steps hesitantly. The brisk sound of treading water came from her feet, and her mind began to empty.

The red light of the finger pen disappeared into the white mist, and Chacha suddenly came back to her senses, only to find that the figure of Su Mingyan in front of her had disappeared.

Hastily raised his left hand, A Xue was still there.

But Ah Xue was also obviously frightened, she looked back with a pale face, and there was no shadow of Dong Mo.

The two stood in the middle of the bridge, with no end in sight.Chacha tightened Ah Xue's hand and started to run across the bridge.Panting heavily.The long snake on the railing seems to be alive, with nine heads gathered together, eyes rolling around.The water under the stone bridge was turbulent, and the crying of a baby could be faintly heard, which was indescribably strange.After running for an unknown amount of time, they finally rushed out of the area shrouded in thick fog, and the two of them stood on the land on the other side of the stone bridge.

Looking back, in the darkness, only the stone bridge is glowing cold white under the moonlight.

"Where did Su Mingyan and the others go?" Chacha looked around, but couldn't find the rest of her companions.

"I don't know." Ashe said, "I'll try to call Bai Ze out."

"Yeah." Chacha nodded hastily, at least one more talking spirit beast would give her courage.

Ashe folded her hands on her chest, closed her eyes, and called the spirit beast in her body.

no respond.

The mist spread from the bridge deck to the shore, and the white marble-like stone bridge gradually turned red.The originally quiet lake was filled with waves, and a fire appeared on the waves on the left.The crying of the baby came from all directions, and Ah Xue could no longer concentrate.

"Let's go forward. Maybe we can catch up." Chacha raised her pointer pen, and the light unexpectedly passed through the bridge, and the tent on the other side disappeared.We can only find Su Mingyan first.

The two walked along the dirt road, and as the distance from the shore gradually lengthened, the stone bridge behind them became quiet.Only the lake water on both sides is left, changing the color of water and fire. From a distance, it looks like a boiling hot pot, the kind of mandarin duck pot.Chacha is a little hungry.

The soft dirt road widened, and there were lights ahead.

A Xue and Chacha looked at each other and ran forward quickly.

Not Su Mingyan.But it's not someone I don't know at all.Under the flashing neon lights stood the guitarist who had been seen outside the hotel before, and greeted them warmly.This is a street, and it is very lively.Hustle and bustle of bars, dazzling shops, and all kinds of delicious food.Crayfish, crystal dumplings, Malatang, small hot pot, Chacha's stomach growling, want to eat, but dare not.

"Beauty, we seem to have seen it before?" The guitarist smiled confusedly, holding a bottle of beer in his hand.

"I met you yesterday." Ashe said, "How did you find this place? What a coincidence."

"Fate. I was bored on the bike in the morning, and found the island to be beautiful. I didn't expect it to be quite bustling inside." The guitarist opened another bottle of beer with his bare hands, and handed it to Axue, "Do you want to drink?"

"Thank you, I have a cold and I don't drink." Axue politely refused.

"Okay, you go shopping first." The guitarist returned to the bar, and greeted the friends who came with him.

A Xue pulled Chacha out of the light, "What do you think?"

"I think we may not be in the same space as Su Mingyan and the others." Chacha said, "Although this street is lively, it is definitely not normal to appear in this kind of place."

Ashue nodded, feeling more and more flustered.

"But don't worry, the location that Ghost One said is correct, we should be able to meet Su Mingyan and Dong Mo there." Chacha comforted, "It's very cloudy now, so it's not suitable to go around. When the sun rises, we'll rest well before Go meet them."

"Hmm." Ashe looked back at the brightly lit street, the words of Jiuying Hotel were particularly eye-catching among the many plaques.

"We don't need to live there, we have a better choice." Chacha took out Xingcha from the package and said proudly.
