God’s Love Game

Chapter 24.2: White Snake

Jiang Chao didn’t notice the footsteps behind him at all. When someone patted his shoulder suddenly, Jiang Chao was so frightened that his heart almost stopped, he turned his head blankly, and when he saw Xiangnu’s stunning face with curved brows, he was stunned for a while without returning to his senses.

Xiangnu had never been in this kind of situation before. He was accustomed to listening to voice recognition and all kinds of sudden pranks and dangers resulting in him having a big heart. He didn’t realize that his actions almost frightened Jiang Chao to be killed. Seeing Jiang Chao’s expression was blank, with the appearance of horrified, he almost thought that Jiang Chao was cursed by the old man, and his face suddenly became vigilant and he took a step back cautiously.

Jiang Chao slowly closed his eyes, and it took a while for him to recover. He said in a hoarse voice, “Why are you sneaking on me? I was almost scared to death by you!”

Jiang Chao kept slapping his chest in pain, and his cool face image was almost destroyed.

Xiang Nu glanced at him blankly, always feeling that it was not safe to speak behind the old man’s house, he pulled Jiang Chao’s sleeve and pointed to the side, then walked over quietly.

Jiang Chao glanced at him and silently followed behind Xiangnu.

Xiangnu took him around and walked to the front. Jiang Chao followed behind him. At first, he wondered where he was going. When he saw Miao Dong, Zhong Liyun, and Ding Zeming in front of him, he took a few quick steps. He went down to Xiangnu’s side and joined the three of them.

Miao Dong and the others were discussing things. When they saw Xiangnu and Jiang Chao appear together, they were all stunned. Zhong Liyun asked, “Little Junior Brother, what about Third Senior Brother?”

Xiangnu replied, “I found something in Qiuyuan. The third senior brother is digging in the hill. I can’t help him much. After thinking about it, I came to find you. How is your progress here?”

Miao Dong scratched his head embarrassedly, and smirked, “Hehe” but didn’t speak, Ding Zeming shook his head helplessly and sighed, “I’m sorry, we didn’t find any useful clues, but after those villagers came back from Master’s house, we found that they were on the left side houses at the time. The group of villagers who didn’t care about us, the group that ignored us, were the villagers with red flags hanging at home. Their situation was quite strange. After we knocked on their door, they also opened the door, but when we talked to them, they didn’t care.”

“By the way, there are talismans on their doors, and I don’t know what they are used for.”

Zhong Liyun looked at Xiangnu expectantly and asked, “Little Junior Brother, what clues have you found?”

Xiangnu replied, “I guess, a person may have been sealed under Qiu Yuan.”

Several people looked at each other in dismay, Xiangnu patiently told several people about the 206 bones and their distribution areas on the hill, explaining the reason for his guess.

Xiangnu said, “It’s just that I don’t know the identity of the person under Qiu Yuan, and I haven’t collected relevant information so far, but I guess that the person may have bad blood with the master, otherwise Master wouldn’t have lent our hands to dig up the grave to draw out the earthworm spirit on the first day, and Eldest Brother wouldn’t have shown that scared look.”

Ding Zeming frowned at the thought and asked, “Are you …… what did you ask the Third Senior Brother to do?”

The corners of Xiangnu’s lips twitched slightly, and the smile in his brows deepened, “I observed that only the skull of the man in Qiu Yuan is still intact, so I asked the third senior brother to dig out that person’s entire skull. “

“The skull seals the aura and wisdom of life, and the dungeon is full of supernatural factors. Under such conditions, there may even be the ghost of that person in the skull. So I asked the third senior brother to dig out all the parts of the skulls. After all the parts are gathered, we may have the opportunity to meet the person who turned into a hill and get some truth about the copy from it.”

“Then what if there is danger?” Zhong Liyun was a little worried.

Xiangnu said casually, “I reminded the third senior brother, don’t hesitate to run if you are in danger.”

Zhong Liyun, wanting to say something, opened her mouth but closed it again. Instead, she looked at Jiang Chao and asked in doubt, “Fourth Senior Brother, didn’t you go alone? Why did you come back with the younger Junior Brother?”

Jiang Chao forced a smile, then replied expressionlessly, “Halfway, bumping into Me. Went into, Big Brother, room, inside, there’s a phone!”

Miao Dong rubbed his chin and pondered, “There is a phone! So besides the TV and the place, are there any other electrical appliances?”

Jiang Chao shook his head without even having to recall, which shows that he also thought of this and checked it out.

Xiang Nu asked with great interest, “Fourth Senior Brother, how did you get into the Senior Brother’s room, aren’t you afraid of being discovered by the Master?”

“Unique means.”

Xiangnu was thoughtful, Zhong Liyun frowned and thought hard, suddenly remembered something, and asked, “Fourth Senior Brother, Sixth Junior Brother, you have all seen the TV, have you seen what is on the TV? Generally speaking, if there is a particularly strange thing in the dungeon, there must be clues and value in itself, and it is most likely a hint from the system!”

Jiang Chao looked at Ding Zeming, “The TV was off, did not touch it for fear of noise.”

The crowd could understand that Jiang Chao had sneaked in to look for clues, but even if he knew that there was something wrong with the TV, he couldn’t have turned it on to watch it, otherwise, it would have been a clear indication that there was a burglar in the house.

Jiang Chao also had no clues further. Everyone could only hope that Jiang Chao, who went in openly, knew that it was a black-and-white TV, so he must have known it after reading the content inside.

Ding Zeming sighed lightly, “I saw the TV on when I first entered, but I only saw a portion of  a Taoist priest in a Taoist uniform when Master just snapped it off.”

Hearing what Ding Zeming said, everyone was instantly disappointed and sighed.

Xiangnu glanced at the closed door behind them and said, “Let’s put the TV matter aside for a while, let’s settle the matter of these villagers first. I’ve told Third Brother I’m going back early, so we can’t delay too long.”

Several people cheered up and followed Xiangnu to the front door.

Xiangnu took out the talisman paper he had picked up from his trousers pocket, flattened the talisman paper and pressed it next to the talisman paper on the door for comparison, and came to a conclusion, ” can’t understand a lot of things, but the contents of the two pieces of paper are probably similar, except for the center.”

Xiang Nu pointed at the small letter in the middle framed by the red frame. There were two characters on the door, but three characters on the edge of the talisman paper in his hand.

Ding Zeming looked at it and said unsurely, “It seems like there is a name written on it.”

“Name.” Xiang Nu was baffled. “What are talisman papers generally used for?”

“Usually, it’s to ward off evil spirits.” Miao Dong tapped the cinnabar on the yellow paper on the door, “This thing can exorcise ghosts, there is also black dog blood and so on.”

Xiangnu looked at the talisman paper in his hand in a daze, Zhong Liyun said, “Is the talisman paper pasted on the door to suppress the evil spirits in the house? Who put this on the door?”

Xiang Nu looked over and said with a smile, “Our master knows Taoism and has such a high reputation. If the village is haunted, who do you think the villagers will look for?”

Of course, looking for the old man.

Miao Dong said lightly, “No wonder that group of villagers have been looking at the Master with eyes as if they saw their enemies. Maybe they have big grudges.”

Xiang Nu shook the piece of talisman paper in his hand that he had dug up from the West Mountain and said lightly, “Let’s put that aside for now, let’s find out how the West Mountain talisman paper relates to the talisman paper on this door first …… Which one of you will go around and see if any house raises the red flag with the same talisman paper on the door as the one I’m holding?”

Miao Dong immediately said, “I’ll go, I’ll go, leave the errands to me.”

Miao Dong leaned over to look at the old talisman paper in Xiangnu’s hand. He really couldn’t understand the ghostly drawn talismans on it. After barely remembering the shape of the three words, he went to the doors of the various houses that raised the red flag to compare.

Xiangnu remembered what Ding Zeming said at the beginning, and asked, “Senior Brother Six, you knocked on the door of the villagers before, did they have symptoms that they wanted to do something?”

Ding Zeming shook his head saying, “They are not interested in us.”

Xiangnu nodded, grabbed the door knocker with his fingers, and tapped lightly.

The reddish-brown wooden door creaked, and a thin crack opened.

After looking at him for a few seconds, Xiangnu asked, “Hello, can we ask you something?”

The villager stared at him for a few seconds, without answering, his two eyeballs moved to the left, pointing straight to the left.

Xiang Nu followed his line of sight, and his eyes fell on the talisman paper. He held the talisman paper and asked patiently, “Do you want me to tear this thing apart?”

The villagers still didn’t speak or move, but their gazes were instantly burning with anticipation.

The meaning of the villagers was obvious. Xiangnu glanced at the other three and asked for their opinions, “To tear, or not to tear. Vote on it, and the minority will obey the majority.”

Ding Zeming and Zhong Liyun looked more solemn.

Xiangnu said lightly, “I vote to tear.”

Jiang Chao also said decisively, “Tear!”

Ding Zeming and Zhong Liyun looked at each other with a wry smile, and said helplessly, “Tear it up, then.”

As for Miao Dong, who was still hanging around at the door of each house, everyone ignored him. He was not in front of his eyes, and it didn’t matter to him if there was any danger. There was no need to pay attention to his opinions!

Zhong Liyun was very hesitant, hesitant about whether to keep silent and let the others decide.

Xiang Nu stretched out his hand to take off the talisman paper, moving slowly, and took off the talisman paper completely after memorizing the shape of the name on the talisman paper.

His memory was so good that he would forget a particular item only after it had been memorized and not recalled for a certain period.

After the talisman was taken off, it immediately turned into a white light and dispersed.

The villager behind the door smiled oddly and opened the door. The villager’s body proportions looked strange, his face was normal, but his body was abnormally thin and the not-quite-plump lab coat over the villager’s body was as loose and flimsy as a pocket over a person’s body

The villager said to the missionaries, “Give me back my body, and I can answer a question for you.”

“If you can’t find it back…” The villagers’ eyes were as black as stagnant water. Although the words were a threat, there was no fluctuation in the tone. They were highly dead, giving people an extreme coldness, “Give me your bodies.”

The crowd frowned.

Xiang Nu lowered his head and thought, roughly pulled the door directly closed, and said to several other companions, “Let’s go to the West Mountain, I memorized the name of this person just now, go to the West Mountain to look for it, perhaps his body is pressed under the relative talisman paper.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s not there. We can bring back the talisman paper and stick it on his door. It should be just as useful.”

Jiang Chao asked: “Then if it’s useless, what should we do?”

Xiang Nu stroked his chin and laughed, “Find Master Brother to borrow some masking agent, mesmerize Da Hei and bleed him out, and draw one on the spot?”

Several people,”…”

Xiangnu seemed to be joking. The other people didn’t take it seriously, but it wasn’t a lot of pressure, and a few people could already tell that the ghosts and monsters in this copy were not in harmony with each other, especially the boss of the copy, the old man, who could be called the public enemy of the ghosts and monsters.                                                        

The old man was the only one who really focused on the taskmaster, and the other ghosts and monsters also have some ideas about the taskmaster, but compared to the old man, the danger of the other ghosts and monsters was not worth mentioning

Xiangnu took a few people to climb West Mountain. The side of the West Mountain by the river was deserted. Only a few talisman papers were exposed on the flat and dry ground, but there are still a lot of weeds and flowers on the inner side, no different from the other sides of the mountain.

Xiangnu’s physical strength was not as good as the others, and after running around this small village several times before, he is lagging behind.

However, Xiangnu was not in a hurry, and the others also paid attention to the distance between each other and do not pull too much distance.

Xiang Nu walked slowly, and the touch under his feet suddenly changed. It was soft but elastic. It was obvious that it was a living creature.

Xiang Nu lowered his head blankly, moved his feet, and saw a very thin and small white snake coiled beside his feet, with silver scales shining, and red eyes like gems, very delicate and beautiful.

The white snake looked at him silently, and after Xiangnu also looked at it, it swayed and stood up, and quickly got into Xiangnu’s trouser legs, wrapping around his legs, from the calf to the bottom of the leg, and then squeezed out of the elastic belt, and dexterously coiled itself around Sang-nu’s waist, and then onto his shoulder and arm.

When the scales slid across the skin, it felt cold and rough, not abrasive, but felt strange.

The pretty youth stood dumbfounded, his expression blank, almost speechless.
