Chapter 247: Weird 【09】
Xue Yuanjing looked at Lan Yu, and saw that this person was feminine and handsome, with a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes that seemed to be full of emotion when looking at him, but his eyes were clearly cold and measured.
He remembered what Jiang Li had introduced to him on the way to the headquarters of the Night Watch Division about the situation of the Ghost Exorcist forces.
The ghost slayers are dominated by the family. Except for the Night Watch, an official organization established by the imperial court to recruit many scattered ghost slayers, the other ghost slayer forces are basically family forces.
The strongest family force among them is the Lan family.
The head of the Lan family is said to be the person with the highest spiritual awareness among the known ghost slayers in the world. After the frequent occurrence of strange things decades ago, the Lan family took advantage of the opportunity to collect many powerful and strange items.
Now the strength of the Lan family's head is unfathomable, but it is said that the three giants of the night watchman of a certain generation can only fight against him.
The comparison of the strength of this generation of the three giants of the night watchman and the head of the Lan family is still unknown.
However, although the Lan family is the strongest family among ghost slayers, they are so few in number that it is impossible to tear their faces away from the huge imperial court. The Lan family will send a direct descendant to the Night Watch to show their sincerity.
The direct descendant of the Lan family who was sent to join the Night's Watch is Lan Yu.
Lan Yu's position in the Night Watch Division is relatively detached, even Xing Ye and Hei Ye are unwilling to criticize him too harshly, so as not to anger the Lan family behind him.
Otherwise, Lan Yu would not dare to stop Xue Yuanjing, the newly-appointed Lord Mu Ye, in front of everyone's eyes, and unabashedly proposed to go out with him to get rid of ghosts.
The method of ghost removal is generally the more secret the better, so as not to use the strange items of mutual restraint for plot calculations after being known. It is very rude for Lan Yu to rashly ask to exorcise ghosts with others.
Although Xue Yuanjing was the first to come into contact with the world of ghost slayers and didn't know much about the unspoken rules, he didn't want an outsider who didn't know to see the scene where he summoned his brother.
Xue Yuanjing refused: "No need, little ghost, this person can solve it by one person."
Lan Yu's peach-like lips pursed slightly, and she pursed a smile: "Lord Mu Ye, I'm from the Lan family, and have rich experience in exterminating ghosts, so I can share your worries for the adults."
He bit the words 'from the Lan family' very hard, and looked at Xue Yuanjing with a half-smile, his threat was beyond words.
Xue Yuanjing was not the kind of person to be threatened by nature. He sneered and walked around Lan Yu. He didn't bother to pay attention to this guy who was a little out of touch due to the power of his family.
Yuan Jia, who was hiding beside Xue Yuanjing, used his divine sense to transmit a voice to Xue Yuanjing: "Yuanjing, do you need big brother to take action?"
After Xue Yuanjing encountered the threat of the Nightmare Python on Xingye's body, he took the initiative to show up. Later, he seemed to disappear, but in fact he had been hiding by Xue Yuanjing's side to protect him.
How could he allow Xue Yuanjing, who has no spiritual sense, to stay alone with a large group of ghost slayers.
These ghost slayers seem to be people of justice, but in Yuan Jia's view, ghost slayers who master strange items are actually kind of weird in nature. Maybe one of them can be eroded by strange objects and become a lunatic, and start a killing spree at the headquarters of the night watchman.
Yuan Jia felt that the most dangerous time was when his younger brother was in the night watch, and he had to protect him at all times.
When Xue Yuanjing heard Yuan Jia's voice transmission, he was shocked and very happy. He didn't know how to communicate with the missing eldest brother, so he could only lower his voice and whisper: "It's okay."
Although Xue Yuanjing hated Lan Yu's bullying attitude, he was no longer the reckless young man he used to be. For more than ten years, he had no one to rely on, and he had encountered such a bullying second generation.
If his strength is strong enough, he will slap his face back on the spot. If his strength is no better than the backer behind the second generation, he will take revenge in secret after the fact. If his strength is no better than that of the second generation, he will grit his teeth and endure the humiliation in order to seek revenge in the future.
Now Xue Yuanjing is different, he can endure Lan Yu's rudeness, because he doesn't want his brother to confront the Lan family behind Lan Yu for his little contradiction.
Although my brother has become powerful and strange, the strangeness may also be restrained and restricted by other strange items. What if there are any strange items in the Lan family that can hurt my brother?
Xue Yuanjing thought worriedly.
Yuan Jia, who gave his heart to Xue Yuanjing, could vaguely sense Xue Yuanjing's mood to some extent. He sensed his younger brother's concern for him, and his heart was hot, and he had a good taste, not to mention Lan Yu. .
And Lan Yu, who was left behind, looked at Xue Yuanjing's back with a gloomy face, and other ghost slayers came over and said to him slightly: "Lord Lan Yu, Lord Mu Ye should be here for the first time, and some things are still pending. Didn't figure it out."
Lan Yu didn't even look at the ghost slayer who pleases her, turned around and chased in the direction where Xue Yuanjing left.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
According to the information provided by the mission, Xue Yuanjing came to a barren forest on the outskirts of Beijing.
There is a ghost wandering here. According to the investigation of the night watchman, this ghost may have been killed and buried here before his death, and he has been wandering here all the time.
However, because the place is inaccessible, it only killed passers-by and did not cause much harm. The imperial court ordered that this piece of desolate forest be sealed, which can be regarded as preventing it from causing greater harm.
Ghosts don't have range restrictions as weird, but generally ghosts only know that they linger near their bones and rarely leave. So some ghosts can also be restricted.
After Xue Yuanjing stepped into the deserted forest, Yuan Jia's figure appeared beside him, walking with him in the silent and gloomy deserted forest.
Yuan Jia showed him the way: "The ghost is under a tree in front."
Xue Yuanjing walked over and saw the big tree that Yuan Jia pointed to. The howling night wind sounded like ghosts and wolves, and the rustling leaves on the canopy gave people a ghostly feeling in the dark environment.
When Xue Yuanjing continued to walk forward, Yuan Jia, who was beside him, suddenly turned to look over, and said coldly, "Come out!"
Xue Yuanjing paused in his footsteps, and turned to look, only to see a troubled figure planted out.
Xue Yuanjing frowned and said, "Lan Yu? What are you doing here?"
The person who had followed him by some unknown means of concealing his tracks was Lan Yu who stopped him at the night watchman during the day.
Lan Yu stood up straight, smiled slightly at Xue Yuanjing, and said, "Lord Mu Ye, I just want to get rid of ghosts with the lord, why does the lord reject me so much?"
However, he kept staring at Yuan Jia when he spoke, wondering how Yuan Jia found him. He has a strange item in terms of invisibility, and neither the ghost hunter nor the ghost can see through his tracks.
Moreover, Lan Yu also found that Yuan Jia's aura was like that of an ordinary person, and he couldn't sense any spiritual sense.
Looking at Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing's slightly similar appearances, Lan Yu guessed in her heart that this young man was Xue Yuanjing's younger brother or nephew, and that the secret method of hiding spiritual sense was passed down in the Xue family's lineage?
Yuan Jia stared at Lan Yu for a while, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Why do you have no point in rejecting you? Don't you know that you are annoying? Do you think you are a treasure that everyone likes? You are annoying. Do you know? A sneaky stalker is like a perverted stalker."
Lan Yu was immediately scolded and stunned. He, who has always been flattered or treated politely, has never been scolded so mercilessly before, and he didn't respond for a while.
Lan Yu came back to her senses and was furious: "You dare to scold me? No one has ever scold me before!"
Yuan Jia smiled and said, "No one has ever scolded you." He gave Lan Yu a gloomy smile, "Anyway, I'm not human anymore."
Lan Yu seemed to feel a basin of cold water pouring down, and the whole person calmed down a lot.
No, not human?
Isn't this young man who looks somewhat similar to Xue Yuanjing in front of him? But why didn't he sense the slightest Yin Qi from him?
No matter how strong the ghost is, the yin qi in the body cannot be concealed from the ghost master's spiritual sense.
Could it be that... Lan Yu looked at Yuan Jia with a look of fear on her face, quickly grabbed a jade pendant around her waist, and then his figure disappeared.
Yuan Jia let out a "tsk", his mind moved, and the entire barren forest turned into a gloomy villa. He and Xue Yuanjing appeared in the villa, and in a courtyard not far away, Lan Yu's figure also appeared here.
He was still holding the jade pendant in his hand, and he was stunned. He looked around and stared in disbelief: "Where is this place? How could I suddenly appear here?"
Yuan Jia glanced at Lan Yu who was trapped in that yard and couldn't get out, and said to Xue Yuanjing, "The ghost you want to catch was trapped in the garden by me."
When the two came to the garden, they saw a strange and hideous tree growing in the garden. It was the tree that Yuan Jia pointed out for Xue Yuanjing in the deserted forest.
Xue Yuanjing's goal was to parasitize this tree, because the corpse of this ghost was buried under the tree, and it stayed with this tree for a long time, forming a special parasitic pattern with each other.
Xue Yuanjing actually couldn't sense yin qi, he had no spiritual sense, but even an ordinary person could feel the gloomy coldness of this tree. : "Brother, what should I do next?"
Looking at Xue Yuanjing's appearance, Yuan Jia couldn't help recalling how Xue Yuanjing, a young boy in Xue Yuanjia's memory, came to ask him for advice because he couldn't do his homework.
He subconsciously touched Xue Yuanjing's head and smiled dotingly: "You can't, brother will teach you."
He really taught Xue Yuanjing how to force out the ghost in the big tree and how to disperse the ghost, leaving only pure yin.
Ghosts without the slightest sense of sanity are like wild beasts, and even the instincts of wild beasts are not comparable.
Xue Yuanjing slapped it away.
