Chapter 1685 Footprints

"Oops!" Jiang Cheng realized that he and Ye Qiutang were in big trouble. These ghosts had set traps for them.

The fat man also became nervous. He looked desperately at the place where Jiang Cheng and Ye Qiutang were looking. "What happened? What did you see?"

"Didn't you see it?" Ye Qiutang said hoarsely, as if he was worried about being heard by something. "There are footprints there, a pair of footprints that suddenly appeared!"

"Footprints" The fat man looked more carefully and even took two steps forward. "Where are the footprints?"

Jiang Cheng seemed to realize something after hearing this. He knew that the fat man had good eyesight and the location of the footprints was also very obvious. There was no reason for the fat man not to see it, unless there was something restricting him.

Jiang Cheng boldly took two steps forward, pointed to the footprints not far away, and asked the fat man: "Look, what's here?"

The fat man also realized that something was wrong, and swallowed hard, "I didn't see anything, there was just a piece of mud."

Nodding, Jiang Cheng's guess was confirmed. The fat man was different from him and Ye Qiutang. The fat man couldn't see the footprints, which also proved that he was not hit.

According to rumors, people who were not hit would not be taken away by the ponytail girl, just like Xiaomei's friend next door, that person did not die, because she saw and took pictures of the ponytail girl's back.

Ye Qiutang also reacted quickly. Combining the story told by Jiang Cheng, she also realized where the problem was. She looked at the fat man with envy. She remembered what Mr. Song Tianming said, this Wang Fugui has a very good fate, turning danger into fortune, and turning disaster into auspiciousness.

Although he knew that he was the only one who had not been tricked, the fat man did not look happy at all. There was murderous intent in the Zhijie Temple. They had been very careful, but they did not expect to be tricked.

Soon, they found something unusual behind Ye Qiutang. This time it was not footprints, because there was a big willow tree behind her.

The branches of the willow tree drooped down, like a rain curtain, which was very beautiful, but now Jiang Cheng Ye Qiutang's face became very ugly, because there were two strange places in the drooping willow branches. There was obviously nothing there, but the willow branches were strangely bent in the air, as if they were swung away by something invisible.

What's more terrifying is that the two blank spaces looked more and more like two human figures after looking at them for a long time.

"Fatty, look at that willow tree. Is there anything strange in the willow branches?" Jiang Cheng asked in a low voice, staring at the blank space under the willow branches.

"No." The fat man answered very affirmatively after observing for a while.

The person involved, Ye Qiutang, was obviously a little excited, because there were actually two people following her, which corresponded to the two Taoist priests who disappeared in the Merit Hall. This oppressive feeling made people despair.

She looked at the fat man suddenly, and her tone was rarely pleading, "Go over and try to affect them. You are not hit, so there will be no danger."

"Don't go!"

Before the fat man could answer, Jiang Cheng denied this proposal. Ye Qiutang's idea was correct, but he didn't want the fat man to take risks.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng picked up a few stones from the ground and handed them to the fat man, "Throw the stone at the willow tree, don't hit the trunk, hit the left side of the willow tree, about 3 meters away."

A few stones passed through the blank human figure under the willow tree without any hindrance. The fat man turned his head back, and nothing happened in his perspective.

But after Ye Qiutang threw the stone, the situation was very different. The stone hit the blank space of the human figure and bounced off strangely.

Ye Qiutang looked at the fat man excitedly, "Did you see it? There is something there!"

But the fat man acted even weirder than her. He looked at Ye Qiutang with a confused look on his face, "What are you talking about?"

"Didn't you see it? The stone hit the blank space and bounced back!"

"Ah?" The fat man opened his eyes wide, "No, the stone just went straight through the willow branches. I saw it clearly and fell to the ground."

Things changed again at this moment. The fat man's perception was different from theirs. Jiang Cheng thought of the scene that happened near the Sutra Library in the evening. The identities of the Taoist priest and the monk switched back and forth. There was a similarity between the two.

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, picked up a stone and threw it at the human figure under the willow tree. The stone was also bounced back. It seems that the ghost things following Ye Qiutang can also affect him.

If things that can be touched are bounced back, then it means that these ghost things can be touched. To put it bluntly, these ghost things can directly kill people.

The most urgent task now is how to get rid of these ghosts.

Jiang Cheng retracted his sight and looked at the footprints behind him again. He faced the direction of the footprints and slowly retreated. He retreated several meters in a row, and the footprints did not move at all.

"There is a way!"

Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of the sculptured ghost he had encountered before. As long as he was stared at, the thing could not move, let alone kill people.

Jiang Cheng continued to retreat. He had roughly figured out the surrounding terrain before, so as long as he retreated carefully, there would be no problem.

He signaled the fat man Ye Qiutang to follow him. In this way, the three retreated 20 meters all the way. Then Jiang Cheng moved in parallel, and his eyes were still fixed on the location of the footprints until his sight was blocked by a wall.

Yes, this is Jiang Cheng's plan. He wants to get rid of it in this way.

Jiang Cheng still faced the wall and took a deep breath, "Miss Ye, do you see anything following me?"

Perhaps because it rained not long ago, behind Jiang Cheng there were either shallow puddles or wet mud, which was easy to observe.

After a while, Ye Qiutang's surprised voice rang out, "Gone! The footprints are gone!"

"Hu——"

Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he didn't have much hope of being able to get rid of the pursuit so easily. At best, he just tried it, but he didn't expect it to work.

Jiang Cheng turned around and walked quickly towards the gate of the courtyard, "Quick, let's leave here first, Miss Ye, don't worry, I'll help you after we get out"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a hurried call, it was Ye Qiutang's voice.

Jiang Cheng turned around suddenly, only to see Ye Qiutang's eyes wide open, her face full of panic, and she was staring at the back of him.

As Jiang Cheng turned back again, a pair of footprints were left in the puddle.

What was even more terrifying was that this time the footprints were no longer motionless, but pointed at Jiang Cheng, and the right foot stepped out, with a stiff movement, but took a step straight towards Jiang Cheng.

Seeing this scene, the three of them were shocked and did not react for a while. A few seconds later, the suffocating scene was staged again, and the left foot also took a trembling step forward, and took another step forward, getting closer to Jiang Cheng.
