Chapter 73 Clues
Currently, Gu Qianyang has two. Even if Black and White Impermanence seduced one of them, what about the other one?
Liu Haoyu had a bit of a headache.
Moreover, Gu Qianyang’s remnant soul had devoured so many souls, its strength was definitely not much weaker than his own.
This was very troublesome.
But Liu Haoyu had no good ideas in his heart about how to solve it.
If they were to fight head-on… he could barely win.
As for Qin Liu making a move, Liu Haoyu was also hesitating.
This little ghost could definitely deal with Gu Qianyang easily. With her strength, if she truly went berserk, no one could stop her.
But her remaining lifespan was limited.
And don’t forget, Gu Qianyang’s plan was to turn Qin Liu into a guide completely. If Qin Liu’s power was used, even if they won, it would be falling into the opponent’s trap, and it would not be worth the loss.
While thinking of a solution, Liu Haoyu was also purchasing items needed for tonight on the street.
Lingnan Town had two streets, which were arranged in a cross shape. After Liu Haoyu finished browsing one of them, he came to the other, relatively shorter street.
This street seemed to be an old neighborhood. The houses inside were all tiled houses from the last century, looking a bit old. Many of the tiled houses were completely abandoned, and the original owners of the houses had long since disappeared.
Perhaps they had moved to the new street, or perhaps they had gone to big cities.
Because of this, the entire old street seemed a bit desolate.
However, there was a temple. Although there were not many monks in the temple, the incense was exceptionally strong.
And most of the people who worshipped here seemed to be locals. Perhaps it was because of the Bamboo Forest in Jiding Village, which caused people here to visit the temple to cleanse their bad luck and seek Buddha’s aura.
Liu Haoyu entered the temple. Like Panwang Temple, there was a Buddha statue in the main hall. Two monks stood in front of the Buddha statue, quietly reciting scriptures.
The townspeople who came to worship here looked focused, with sincere expressions, and clasped their hands in prayer.
Liu Haoyu also made a symbolic bow, but he knew very well in his heart.
Most of these temples could only provide psychological comfort.
It was obviously unrealistic to rely on such means to exorcise ghosts.
However, it was not impossible that such temples had ghost exorcists.
As Liu Haoyu was thinking, a monk walked up to him and said.
“Young friend, you look unfamiliar. Are you a tourist from out of town?”
“Yes,” Liu Haoyu nodded. “Excuse me, Master, can I ask you something?”
“Please tell me, young friend.”
“I am a writer of supernatural novels. I heard that this place is rumored to be haunted…”
Before Liu Haoyu could finish, the monk, who had been acting mysterious, changed his expression and repeatedly said.
“It’s all rumors! Where are there any rumors of haunting here? Young friend, don’t just follow the crowd. With Buddha here to suppress evil, how dare demons, ghosts, and other petty beings cause trouble?”
After speaking, the monk quickly left this place. The townspeople who were still praying devoutly also had faces full of fear. They bowed a few more times and then quickly left the temple.
It was no wonder that the uncle at the burger shop said that the people here didn’t mention it.
It seemed that fear had long since deepened in their hearts.
Liu Haoyu sighed. But this approach didn’t seem like a solution either.
He only knew the general location of the Bamboo Forest, but he had no idea where the grave was.
According to the map, the Bamboo Forest was so large. Without clues, finding that withered grave would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
However, even if he wanted to find someone to lead the way, it seemed like a pipe dream.
As for the black book…
For some reason, after returning from the underworld, no matter what he did, the book had no reaction, as if it were dead.
He couldn’t count on it.
In the end, he still had to rely on himself.
Since he hadn’t eaten anything since waking up, and he had been walking for a long time, Liu Haoyu was a bit tired.
He found a noodle shop on the street, ordered a bowl of hot and sour noodles, and sat down.
Then he took out his phone and tried to search for rumors about the Bamboo Forest in Jiding Village on the browser.
To his surprise, he actually found something.
It was a post published by someone named “Bai Gugu”.
Although this post was published two years ago, it should have some reference value.
According to the post, this netizen heard the rumors of haunting in the Bamboo Forest of Jiding Village and entered the Bamboo Forest alone at night. She indeed saw the desolate grave without any name, and even took photos.
Liu Haoyu slurped his noodles and clicked on the photos.
What greeted him was a withered grave located among the bamboo. The tombstone of this grave was blank, with nothing written on it.
What was even stranger was that the area around the withered grave was covered in bamboo, but only on the withered grave, there was not even a blade of grass, let alone bamboo.
With the withered grave as the center, within a radius of ten meters, not a single blade of grass grew, as if it were a wasteland.
The withered grave exuded an unspeakable chill. The strange sense of disharmony climbed up his brain along his spine, making Liu Haoyu shiver.
It was as if some terrifying existence could crawl out of the withered grave in the photo at any moment.
This was just by looking at the photos. If he had been there in person, Liu Haoyu could hardly imagine how intense the fear in his heart would be.
But the poster of this post not only escaped unscathed, but based on her recent activity records, she was also fine.
It seemed that this person was not simple.
Liu Haoyu continued to browse the post, which recorded the entire process from arriving at Jiding Village, entering the Bamboo Forest, encountering the desolate grave, and staying there until dawn.
The entire route map was clearly drawn by the poster, and the events encountered during the period were also recorded by her.
After Liu Haoyu finished reading, a question popped into his mind.
“Is this person’s eight characters wholesale sold?”
Not many of the local townspeople who encountered this desolate grave had a good outcome, yet this person not only encountered it but even stayed there for one night.
So, does she have connections below, so she can act recklessly?
Liu Haoyu finished the soup in his bowl and left the noodle shop with his phone.
Regardless, he had found a useful clue.
However, for the specific details, Liu Haoyu decided to try to contact the poster.
He clicked on the other party’s avatar. According to the certification information, it was actually a woman?
After confirming that the other party was still active recently, he applied to be friends.
He thought he would have to wait for a while, but to his surprise, after only a few seconds, the friend request was accepted.
“Hello?”
Two words appeared on the screen.
Liu Haoyu organized his language. Because of her experience and her calmness when encountering the desolate grave, Liu Haoyu guessed that she was either a peer or some kind of daredevil.
But seeing that she had always been active and hadn’t died, the former was more likely.
