Chapter 59 Rescue
"What do we do now?"
I asked hurriedly.
The second brother looked around, shrugged and said, "Find the source of this ability, find the ghost."
That sounds good, but it's probably not an easy thing to do.
"By the way, Junior Brother, I heard that the old man, the Uncle Master, gave you the Thunder Ruler."
The second brother suddenly said something. I was slightly stunned. If he hadn't said it, I would have forgotten the broken ruler. I stuffed it into my bag and haven't seen it for more than a year. I took it out of my backpack and handed it over, asking curiously, "What can this thing be used for?"
The second senior brother took the Thunder Ruler and said, "The Thunder Ruler is made of wood struck by lightning, and there is a formation engraved on the inside of the ruler. This is a good thing. Why do you look so disgusted with it?"
Oh my god, it seems that this Thunder Ruler is really a good thing. I knew it, that old master is the head of a sect after all, how could he just use a broken ruler to deal with me?
The second brother didn't ask any more questions. He grabbed one end of the Thunder Ruler with one hand and thrust it into the ground.
"Lightning-struck wood can restrain ghosts and is very sensitive to ghosts and other evil things, so many compass needles are made of lightning-struck wood."
As the second brother spoke, he made a seal with both hands, then held his right hand with his left hand, put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together and pointed forward, and chanted a spell softly. His speech was very fast and his voice was very low, so it was impossible to hear what he was chanting.
As he finished chanting the spell, a ray of light suddenly flashed from the Thunder Ruler, which swept in all directions. Then it suddenly rolled up and swung toward the front left , disappearing. However, a groove was left on the ground, heading towards our front left.
"See? This ruler is still useful."
Second Brother took out the Thunder Ruler and gave it back to me. I quickly took it and looked at the ruler carefully. It looked no different from an ordinary wooden ruler, but I didn't expect that this thing was actually useful.
Then we headed in the direction indicated by the groove on the ground, deviated from the main road and turned into the middle of several houses. After walking for a while, the houses gradually became sparse, and finally we came to the edge of the village and did not go back.
It seems that we are not lost this time. I looked back at the houses behind me and caught a glimpse of the sky. The whole sky was dim and the sunset was scattered on the earth.
That's not right. It was almost dark when we entered the village, and it's still spring. Even in the evening, the sky shouldn't be so dim.
"Second Brother, something seems to be wrong today."
I reminded him. Lu Xiaofeng and the two soldiers also looked up at the sky. The second brother said disapprovingly: "This place has been shrouded by the power of ghosts. What we see may not be real. Now it seems that there must be something wrong with the sky we see."
We have been in the village for a while. If we were outside, it would have been dark. I took out my phone and checked it. It was already seven o'clock. No, why is it seven o'clock in the morning? Seven o'clock in the morning is the time of daylight, not the time of darkness.
The second brother also glanced at my phone and suddenly said, "We have to move faster. Time seems to be speeding up here."
I was startled, but I immediately understood what the second brother meant. The second brother was still walking in the front, moving in the direction of the grooves on the ground. The rest of us followed closely behind.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
Suddenly, there was a piercing and noisy sound behind me, like the noise made when the radio signal was bad. My heart twitched fiercely, and I was startled. I turned my head and glared at a soldier behind me. The noise came from him.
"Brother, what the hell are you doing?"
I shouted, but before I finished speaking, there was another hissing sound from this guy. He quickly took out a walkie-talkie from his front pocket, and intermittent sounds came out of it.
"team leader……"
"Don't worry about me... retreat quickly..."
"team leader……"
"Go! This is an order..."
“Ah…ah…”
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
Then there was another burst of noise from the walkie-talkie, and then there was no sound or movement, like a black brick, a dead object that didn't make a sound.
"What's wrong?"
I asked.
The two soldiers looked at each other, and one of them said, "The captain and the others must be in danger."
I quickly looked at my second senior brother and asked him what we should do. He also frowned slightly, then raised his eyebrows and said, "How about we split up into two groups? You go to their captain and see if you can help them. I will go find the ghost alone."
"Are you going alone?"
I asked in shock. Actually, I was worried that if I separated from Second Brother, once we encountered danger, we would probably be doomed. What the hell, it would be safer to follow Second Brother.
"Can you locate your captain and his men now?"
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly asked one of the soldiers. Damn, this girl is going to listen to the second brother. The soldier took out a tablet-like thing from his bag, swiped and pressed on it, frowned, and then pointed to our right.
“In that position.”
"Go ahead, be safe and be careful. If there is any danger, retreat immediately. Don't force yourself. As the saying goes, if you have a green mountain, you will never run out of firewood. The most important thing is to save your life."
The second brother advised. This makes sense, I think so too, my own life is the most important.
Lu Xiaofeng took the lead, and I followed behind. The four of us walked in the direction pointed by the soldiers. The second brother walked alone in the direction of the ghost.
If the ghost is in the direction that the second brother went, then what did the captain of the soldiers encounter? It seems that there is more than one ghost in this village. I hope that the ghost in our direction is not a powerful fourth-class ghost. It would be best if it is a first-class ghost.
After walking for about ten minutes, the soldier suddenly said, "We're here."
My heart tightened and I immediately became alert, pulling out the thunder ruler attached to my belt. This thing can restrain ghosts and is just right for self-defense.
"over there!"
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly shouted and ran forward. I looked in the direction the girl ran to. There was a military backpack outside the gable of a house not far ahead, which was exactly the kind of backpack that soldiers carried. Two soldiers hurried over there. Then we found two more backpacks and a long gun in another corner.
"Strange, if they were in danger, why didn't the captain and his men open fire?"
A soldier checked his rifle and said in surprise, "We didn't hear any gunshots just now, and there are no obvious signs of fighting on the ground here."
