Fu Yang looked at that place again, and Sleepless felt a little worried.
Watching Fu Yang and the others leave, a pair of eerie white eyes stared at Fu Yang's back from the dark corner of the wall.
Fu Yang also felt that someone was staring at him from behind. He turned his head warily, but there was no one.
This night would be a very long one.
Red Lotus couldn't sit down anymore. Seeing Shi Xiangke's eyes closed, Red Lotus was a bit angry. He still had the mood to sleep at this time.
"Hey!" Hong Lian pushed him.
Immediately, Shi Xiangke's unhappy voice sounded."Don't make a fuss, I'm thinking of a way!"
Hong Lian pouted and looked at Shi Xiangke, who still had his eyes closed. She had been thinking for so long, but she still hadn't figured it out. She was afraid that Shi Xiangke would fall asleep if he kept thinking.
At this moment, an old but energetic voice sounded above their heads."Do you want to go out? Or do you not want to go out?"
Shi Xiangke immediately stood up and pulled Red Lotus over to protect her, vigilantly looking around.
Why was there still someone here? No, it was a demon. But why couldn't he feel any demonic aura?
"Who is it? Who's talking over there?" Shi Xiangke said. He could not sense where the other party was at all. If the other party was aggressive, the two of them would probably die here.
The same sentence still echoed in the air,"Do you want to go out?" Or do you not want to go out?"
Red Lotus was a little annoyed when she heard that. She replied to the voice,"Nonsense, of course I want to get out! Who wants to stay here?" After saying that, he looked around vigilantly and prepared to be on guard at any time.
At this moment, the darkness in the sky suddenly opened its eyelids like an eye. A large eye occupied the entire darkness in the sky. It had purple pupils and white eyes. In fact, this eye could illuminate the entire darkness without fire.
Red Lotus was the first to see it and was so frightened that she could not stand on her feet. There was no need to be so scary, right? She had made a big eye and it was actually blinking. What kind of monster was this? Shi Xiangke was also startled.
"May I ask who you are?" Shi Xiangke asked. However, the other party's eyelids kept blinking.
"I'm a ghost!" His voice echoed in the air.
"Su Gui? Is it a demon or a ghost?" Red Lotus looked at Shi Xiangke and asked. She wanted to ask him if he had heard of it. Anyway, she hadn't.
" Hahaha…" The other party's laughter came from the air, as if he found Hong Lian's words laughable.
Shi Xiangke explained in a low voice," Sugui are neither demons nor ghosts. They are strange creatures outside the Three Realms. To be precise, they don't exist in this world. I heard that they have been sleeping in the deep mountains, forests, and cracks. But we don't know how deep they are. No one can estimate!"”
Su Gui had heard Shi Xiangke's words.
"You're really knowledgeable!”His tone was full of praise for Shi Xiangke.
"Um, can you take us out?”Hong Lian asked carefully, her tone much better.
"Why should I help you?"
"Hey, it's not that you want to go out or not. Of course, we want to go out.”Red Lotus jumped up and questioned, but Shi Xiangyu stopped her and signaled her to stop talking.
"May I ask why Senior came to this painting?”Shi Xiangke asked. Red Lotus glared at him from behind. It was a life and death situation, but he still had the mood to ask how others got into this painting. They were just sucked in like us.
"I've been sleeping here for thousands of years!”Su Gui said. No matter how one looked at him, one couldn't tell where he was speaking from. He was tired of looking up at that eye. If you said you weren't looking at him, it would be impolite. That person would be unhappy and wouldn't bring them out.
"A few thousand years? Is it that exaggerated?" Hong Lian was surprised. Shi Xiangke couldn't help but wonder if Hong Lian was the second Xiao Yue.
"Have you been sleeping in this scroll all this time?”Shi Xiangke asked.
"Scroll painting? What portrait? Are you talking about that sealed scroll painting?”Su Gui asked curiously.
Shi Xiangke was confused. Didn't he know that they were in the scroll painting?
"We're standing inside the scroll? It was sucked in by the scroll painting." Red Lotus was also puzzled. Could it be that this place didn't belong to the scroll painting thousands of years ago?
"Hahahaha!" Su Gui laughed. Red Lotus rolled her eyes. Why was she still smiling?
"Then may I ask where this place is?”Shi Xiangke asked politely.
"My body, you are in my body.”
"Huh? In your body? How can this be your body?"
Red Lotus looked at the dark walls around her. No matter how she looked at it, it did not seem to be a tissue in her body.
"Don't look at it. When we sleep, our bodies will turn into rocks. That's why we have another name, the Ghost Stone.”
"So the legends are true. There really is a Ghost Stone. Senior, did you kill all these people?”Shi Xiangke finally got to the main topic. He had heard that Su Gui didn't want to get involved in the disputes of the human world, so he chose to sleep underground. So, Su Gui definitely didn't kill these people. However, there was one thing that they couldn't figure out. They were clearly sucked in by the scroll, so how did they end up in the ghost's body?
"No, I remember how long ago it was. It seemed to be a few hundred years ago. There was a tanuki whose heart was dug out and suddenly appeared in my body, disturbing my good dreams. I thought it was dead, but I didn't expect it to be resurrected. Then, for some reason, these human corpses also appeared in my body. I think it was because he lost his heart that he went to hunt humans as prey. Seriously, thinking about this makes me angry. He actually unsealed and ran away, turning my body into a graveyard!”
"He broke the seal and ran away?" Shi Xiangke was surprised.
"Yes, tonight!"
No wonder those two people had just died.
"Civet? Isn't that a cat demon?" Shi Xiangke said.
"The Cat Demon has nine lives, but once it loses its heart, nine lives are useless. But how did he come back to life?”Hong Lian was curious about this.
"Resentment, it's his resentment. As long as the resentment of any dead demon still exists, it can support him to live.”Shi Xiangke said.
"Kid, you're quite knowledgeable. Looking at your clothes, you're a demon exorcist, right?”Su Gui said.
"Yes!" Shi Xiangke answered honestly.
"Since he is a demon exorcist, why would he be in the same team as the demon? Isn't this messing up the principles of a demon exorcist?”
"Demon, are you talking about me?" Red Lotus pointed at herself and asked. Shi Xiangke stopped her, afraid that she would say something extreme.
Shi Xiangke said,"Although she is a demon, she has never harmed anyone. There are good and bad demons!"”
Red Lotus liked Shi Xiangke's words.
"Precursor, can you tell us how to get out?" Shi Xiangke asked.”
"Seeing that you're so sincere, I'll help you, but you have to clean up these corpses!”
"What?!" Hong Lian's eyes widened. Why should she deal with these corpses alone?
Shi Xiangke looked at her with a smile as if she was saying,'Who asked you to be disrespectful to the old man.'
"What are you looking at? Don't you want to go out? Clean up the corpses!" Su Gui berated.
"Alright, then how should we deal with these corpses? We have to think about it. Oh right, burn them!”As Hong Lian spoke, she had already prepared the fire. Looking at the flames on her hand, Hong Lian smiled smugly. She would take this gamble.
Sure enough, Su Gui shouted, You wretched girl, you want to turn my body into a volcano?”
"Otherwise, how should we deal with it?" Hong Lian said innocently. Even Shi Xiangke believed it.
"You win, I lose to you!"
After saying that, a tornado-like force came down from above and swept them up. While they were at a loss, a powerful gust of wind quickly brought them towards the big eye. Red Lotus thought that she was going to enter the eye of the ghost and screamed in fear.
Suddenly, a blinding light shone over, making them unable to open their eyes.
In another instant, darkness returned and they returned to the courtyard.
"That's great. You're back." Red Lotus jumped up excitedly.
Shi Xiangke looked around and finally fixed her eyes on the study room that was lit by candlelight. Shi Xiangke rushed over," Xiaoyue!”
Seeing Shi Xiangke's anxious figure, Red Lotus should have understood.
Inside the house, she curled up her body and sat on the ground against the wall, not caring how dirty she was. Her eyes were fixed on the painting, afraid that she would miss something. She was praying that he would come back!
At this moment, the door was opened, but it didn't distract Xiao Yue's unblinking gaze.
"Xiaoyue!" Shi Xiangke called out.”
Hearing Shi Xiangke's voice, Xiaoyue seemed to have found her soul. She looked up at Shi Xiangke in surprise.
Finally, she stood up and rushed over to hug Shi Xiangke. Her tears fell again.
"Are you back? I thought you just disappeared.”
"I'm back. How could I disappear so quickly?”This time, Shi Xiangke didn't push her away like last time.
The person in his arms started crying. Shi Xiangke patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"Don't leave me behind!"
"Good!" Shi Xiangke said after a long time.
Hong Lian stood at the door and looked at them hugging each other. She smiled and turned around to look up at the sky. The white moon was no longer hiding. It came out of the clouds and the gentle moonlight scattered on Hong Lian's shoulder.
Red Lotus took a deep breath and looked at the crescent moon. Luoyang, could that person be you? If it really is you, then what should I do?
