Chapter 619 The Weasel
Chapter 619 The Weasel
Seeing Gao Ge get out of the car, Xia Lu, Yue Xincheng and Shao Shuai all stay quiet with a resigned look in their eyes.
Although Gao Ge doesn’t voice it out, they still understand how he feels anyway.
“Actually, I envy you guys quite much,” Shao Shuai sitting in the driver’s seat plays with his S.T. Dupont Lighter, saying with a smile. “How happy you must be to have someone to piggyback off. You are sure to win anyway!”
“Heh.” Yue Xincheng and Xia Lu reply in one voice.
Actually, they really want to tell Shao Shuai they never want to ride on Gao Ge’s coattails.
On the contrary, they hope to become someone for Gao Ge to piggyback off.
But they are not strong enough!
Gao Ge wearing a suit of black sportswear seems to integrate into the darkness.
The clothes were bought by Xia Lu last time.
The dogs bark for such a long time but the whole village in sight is still dark.
Can’t the villagers hear the barking?
Of course yes.
The burst of barking is so loud that even a deaf man can hear it.
However, recently, the village has been seriously haunted. They do hear the barking but they still pretend that they don’t. Maybe they are also considering whether they should count how much money they have and find a way to leave the village. Even if they cannot pay the down payment for an apartment in the city, it won’t be a problem for them to buy a few bungalows in other villages.
When the tumult subsides, they can move back and sell the purchased houses.
How nice!
Of course, it is still under planning.
Most importantly, they must get through this tough night first...
Gao Ge walks by several houses and still can hear babies crying and adults scolding.
A few lights are turned on and then off.
The barking becomes miserable screaming.
The warning for their owners turns into painful wailing.
Gao Ge quickens his pace a lot.
Shao Shuai’s word gave him a heads-up.
Specifically, he has been enlightened.
What Shao Shuai said dispels Gao Ge’s long-lasting doubt.
Although the Dragon Court and he know that the Ghost Sect wants to raise a ghost by releasing the ghost worms to devour the souls, they still can’t find the ghost or even a trail of it after looking for the ghost for such a long time. They are basically clueless. Actually, the people of the Dragon Court and Gao Ge may have made a mistake. That is, they subconsciously believe that the ghost must be transformed by a soul of a man just because they’ve dealt with a lot of supernatural events. However, it may be not what really happens.
Why is it that a ghost can only be transformed by a human being when he or she dies?
Can’t an animal turn into a ghost when it dies?
Shao Shuai’s words kind of enlighten Gao Ge.
He feels as if being filled with wisdom.
Moreover, what happened in the village kind of affirms Gao Ge’s guess.
Of course, before he finds out the truth, his guess is only a guess. He cannot get an actual answer.
“Hopefully, this trip won’t be a waste of time.”
Gao Ge says calmly and then pushes open the door of a courtyard.
The two iron doors are rusty and the iron sheet has curled up. Notably, the lock of the courtyard has been decayed. It is mostly because the lock cannot stand the erosion of wind and rain over the ages. Yet, it is nice to live in such a village. The villagers can even notice it if a stranger comes to the village. They will greet each other whenever they meet. Just because the infrastructure lags behind that of the other villages, the doors are unbolted at night.
Gao Ge likes this kind of lifestyle and looks forward to living as it is described in the poem that “From the eastern hedge, I pluck chrysanthemums, and idly look towards the southern hills.”
People all know each other in the neighborhood. In summer, a group of villagers sit in idleness in the shade of the big tree at the entrance of the village. The villagers will help whoever is in trouble. Of course, it is a rare case even in the rural village now, so Gao Ge sometimes can’t help wondering whether Huaxia has progressed or slipped back these years. Probably because the pace of life has been quickened so that everyone becomes impetuous. The widely advocated virtue and morality have been wrecked by the current ethos that it is more shameful for being poor than being a prostitute. Even those who are a bit harsh on themselves will be labeled as a goody two-shoes or a hothead. Even when one does something morally correct, he will be regarded as rigid under the indoctrination of teachers and parents in some cases.
He has been a bit distracted.
Gao Ge reckons himself as an ordinary citizen, so he doesn’t mean to change anything. To live at the moment matters most.
For example, the big yellow dog convulsing on the ground is still wailing, next to which a yellow thing is glittering and looks a bit holy.
“That explains it.”
Upon seeing the yellow animal’s soul, Gao Ge also ascertains his guess.
Moreover, the ghost has become as strong as a cultivator at the realm of Master.
An animal can cultivate and become a monster, but Gao Ge doesn’t know what a dead monster’s soul can turn into through cultivation, and how it can cultivate. Maybe it is more or less the same as a soul of a deceased person.
Gao Ge has also encountered a monster’s soul before. It was a cat spirit.
This is the second one.
However, compared with the cat spirit, this monster’s soul is much stronger.
Gao Ge walks to the monster’s soul step by step at an average speed.
The monster’s soul also stops and looks at Gao Ge with its eyes seemingly full of confusion.
On the one hand, it didn’t expect that he could see it.
On the other hand, to its surprise, this man is not afraid to see it.
Is he a reckless man?
Suddenly, Gao Ge raises his fist and strikes out.
He acts without any scruples.
The punch lands on the monster’s soul off guard, giving off a loud bang as if the punch were as heavy as lead.
The halo around the monster’s soul also glitters.
But his punch doesn’t cause too serious damage to it, but the momentum that was given off when Gao Ge struck a punch also astonishes it.
It is dangerous!
It is extremely dangerous!
It is a daring monster’s soul.
And it is strong enough to resist attacks.
It seems unable to defeat him... Should it run away or just strive until the end of its days?
In the end, it still decides to flee.
However, Gao Ge moves aside and immediately blocks its way of fleeing.
He acts extremely fast.
Since he reached the realm of Master, his strength has turned into an aura. Besides, with the Ghost-like Steps, he moves even faster than the monster’s soul.
Since it has come, how can it leave easily?
It seems that mankind is not hospitable.
“A weasel. It is quite rare.” Gao Ge squints at it. The sword spirit given off by his Flying Star Sword is piercingly cold for the monster’s soul.
