Chapter 164 Practice makes perfect
"I'll keep an eye on it for you, but I still suggest you leave here early before it gets dark. All your things are lost, and it's hard to spend the night in this wilderness." Xi Yueyao said.
"It was captured for real... I will gain followers, a lot of followers..." the anchor muttered to himself.
Seeing him like this, Paimon couldn't help but say, "It's such a dangerous place, but you don't think about how to get out, but you're still thinking about how to gain followers. You're really crazy."
The anchor couldn't hear Paimeng's voice, but he didn't care even if he heard it. The only thing on his mind now was that the video on his phone would increase his followers.
Tao Mengyan asked Xun Yuanfeng: "What should we do now?" Then she shouted to the anchor: "Hey, since you know there are ghosts in this place, why don't you go back, and how did you know this place?"
But the anchor still squatted in the corner and didn't answer, and didn't listen to what they said at all.
"It's weird." Tao Mengyan couldn't help but pouting and said, "There's no other way. Let's find some clues to get his phone back and let him go back. This place is not an easy place to explore, especially since he is just an ordinary person." Tao Mengyan discussed it with Xun Yuanfeng, and Xun Yuanfeng agreed.
Wendy asked, "How do we get it back?"
"They must have hidden the clues in a book or something. I can decipher the code or something. I have experience with this kind of thing. I know how they do it."
Wendy nodded, not quite understanding.
Tao Mengyan looked around. There were several stone statues next to the anchor. Four monks were surrounding a person lying on the ground. However, their expressions were not like the usual monks who had compassion for the world and wanted to save all living beings. They all looked at the person they were afraid of with ferocious looks, raising their sticks high as if they were going to hit him. There was also a stone tablet between the two monks, and Buddhist mantras were written on the tablet.
There is a stone door on the other side of the anchor with words engraved on it. The words are movable and can obviously be opened only when they are in the correct order. Tao Mengyan looked at the pool of water not far from the anchor. There seemed to be something in the water. It was far away and needed to be hooked with a longer object.
Tao Mengyan explored it and roughly understood how to do it.
"I understand. Watch me." Xi Yueyao followed her with a confused look on her face, as if everything depended on her. Xun Yuanfeng, Wendy and Paimeng looked at each other.
Xun Yuanfeng shrugged: "Then let's look at Meng Yan's opinion."
Hearing him say this, Paimon couldn't help but pretend to have a toothache.
Wendy smiled and said, "Not bad, enjoy the adventure."
Tao Mengyan discovered that the stone statue's hands could be put down, and she hit the stone statue lying on the ground. After trying several times, Tao Mengyan found the correct pattern. The stone statue that was originally lying on the ground sank, and a Zen stick rose up.
"Wow!" Xun Yuanfeng and the others applauded and praised: "Meng Yan is really amazing."
Xi Mengyao looked at these people with incomprehension. The atmosphere should have been tense, but with this person as a backdrop, it seemed like they were playing a game. What a bold person!
Then Tao Mengyan used the Zen stick to fish something out of the pond, which turned out to be a fish streamer used in funerals.
Seeing this thing, Tao Mengyan was a little confused: "It seems that there is no place to use this thing here?"
Xi Yueyao thought of something: "There is a road on the other side of the old man, maybe it's used there."
So a few people went back to where the old man was, and sure enough, there was another road, which seemed to lead to a cemetery.
At a tomb, several people saw that the words hanging on the white banner were the same as the words on the unopened door.
When the fish flag was inserted, a gust of wind blew over, the fish flag swayed, and the ribbon under the fish flag also fluttered up, and the ribbon pointed at the four words as if it was deliberately guiding.
Xun Yuanfeng asked Wendy in a low voice: "I didn't sense the existence of anything else. Why did this fish flag intentionally specify these words?"
"The wind in this wind farm is fixed for some reason."
Xun Yuanfeng understood.
Several people followed Tao Mengyan to open the door and passed through the passage. Inside was a relatively narrow space. There were various reliefs on the stone walls, as well as three three-dimensional bronze statues of children, a table, and a jar. On the table was a book and a bamboo slip.
Tao Mengyan looked through the bamboo slips and the book on the table: "According to the book, if I wear birthday boy clothes and shake the peddler's drum, I can get the anchor's phone back."
There is an exit like a door next to the bronze statue, but that exit is blocked by a fence made of tree trunks. There are words engraved on the tree trunks, and it is obvious that they also need to be deciphered to open it.
Tao Mengyan first opened the jar based on the clues on the bamboo slips and the book. There was a piece of children's clothing inside. One of the bronze statues of children was holding a paper drum, which should be the peddler's drum. She tried to pull it out of the child's hand, but failed. Looking at the bowl in his other hand, Tao Mengyan thoughtfully poured the drink she had taken from the dummy before into the bowl. The drum, which she had not been able to pull out before, was easily taken out.
"Okay, now that these two things are here, who should wear it?" Tao Mengyan glanced at Xun Yuanfeng and Wendy.
"!" Xun Yuanfeng said immediately: "I can't wear this."
Then he thought of something and laughed maliciously: "Isn't there another person who can wear it?"
"What is this... a doll's clothes? You dare to tease me like this. This is a crime of insulting your superiors. You will be punished by being haunted by evil spirits!" the old man threatened.
But no one present listened, instead Xi Yueyao said kindly: "Old man, do me a favor and shake this rattle."
"You don't offer me anything, and you still want me to help you! No way!"
Xun Yuanfeng made a "tsk" sound, took out his sword and put it against his neck: "Shake it or not!"
The old man was so frightened that he immediately said, "Shake! Shake!"
The old man shook the paper drum, and suddenly a mobile phone appeared next to the stone formation.
"This seems to be the ghost that was originally in the dummy's place and then escaped. I didn't expect that he was the one who took the phone." Xun Yuanfeng looked at Wendy.
"Same scent, it's the same person. It looks like he was scared of you and ran away as soon as he put you down."
Xun Yuanfeng felt a little embarrassed because he was an evil spirit so he wanted to make an example of him, but he didn't expect that he was actually a child.
"Is this the phone you lost?" Xi Yueyao handed him the phone.
The anchor, who had no reaction at first, immediately snatched the phone away: "Wow, one million... one million followers... I'm a big anchor too!"
As he put the phone down, his face was revealed from behind the phone. Two pitch-black holes replaced his eyes, and there was a red mark under one of his eye sockets. His mouth was wide open with a tongue and no teeth inside, which was also empty. His expression was excited and ferocious. With the words "I'm finally famous!", he disappeared in front of everyone.
Tao Mengyan and Xi Yueyao did not expect to encounter such a scene. They were caught off guard and couldn't help showing frightened expressions.
Tao Mengyan, who was originally quite timid, quickly came to her senses, and then she found that Xun Yuanfeng and Wendy, who were not at all surprised, immediately understood: "Okay, you already knew that he was not a real person!"
Wendy: “Hey.”
