The atmosphere in the car eased a bit, and it was not as stiff as before; Barbecued Pork Bun came back to his senses in the seat, moved his butt forward, gently pried open the back of Qu Lang’s seat, leaned forward and whispered, “Um, Brother Qu, check WeChat.”
Qu Lang was chatting with the driver casually, so he raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, glanced at Jing Xia out of the corner of his eyes, and took out his mobile phone.
Barbecued Pork Bun: Brother Qu, are there ghosts in Haiyin Castle? I promised my fans to do a live broadcast, but I’m a little scared.
Qu Lang shook his head with a smile and replied: “There are ghosts, but not many. Don’t worry, our Chinese sorcerers are active in Haiyin Castle all year round, and there has never been any evil spirit left.”
Barbecued Pork Bun trembled in fear: “Aren’t ghosts evil spirits?”
Qu Lang hissed, kneading the skin on the back of the red fox’s neck, thinking about how to respond: “There is still a big difference between ghosts and evil spirits.”
“Let me put it this way, evil spirits are things that have malicious intent or instinct to hurt people, while ghosts are a kind of obsession and a permanent form of the soul. You can think of it as a ghost, but an evil spirit is more difficult to form than a ghost.”
Qu Lang sorted out his thoughts and quickly replied: “Ghosts will retain the memories and consciousness of the deceased to the greatest extent possible. They may become paranoid due to the cause of death or obsession, but souls obsessed with evil thoughts cannot become ghosts.”
Barbecued Pork Bun stared at the comprehension question, trying to reassure himself: “In other words, ghosts are rational and harmless souls?”
Qu Lang mercilessly burst Barbecued Pork Bun’s fantasy bubble: “That can’t be said. Although ghosts are usually not threatening, this is not absolute. No matter what we get along with, we must abide by the basic laws-for example, you can play the pen fairy game, but you can’t ask how the pen fairy died. No matter how gentle the ghost is, it will become a little unreasonable when it touches its obsession point. Then in this metaphor, anything is possible.”
Barbecued Pork Bun’s mood fluctuated greatly: “Brother Qu, can you give a more specific example? I’m afraid I might accidentally step on a landmine… For example, would they mind if they go live on the live broadcast?”
Qu Lang couldn’t help laughing and replied to him: “Okay, you can be relieved. The ghosts of Haiyin Castle have seen all kinds of tourists. They are not so petty, and they have been live broadcasting more than once or twice. You just need to be careful not to do anything too offensive, such as lifting a lady’s skirt or snatching a knight’s sword.”
Barbecued Pork Bun felt that he was not so reckless, and he was immediately relieved. He sent Qu Lang a series of crazy thank-you emojis, then locked the screen and held the phone and kept saying: “Amitabha Amitabha.”
Qu Lang couldn’t help laughing and put the phone back.
With the help of Barbecued Pork Bun and the driver, the atmosphere became livelier. Qu Lang keenly noticed that Jing Xia in the corner of the car didn’t seem as tense as at the beginning. Although he still looked as if he refused to communicate, he seemed less distant and relaxed.
“Jing Xia.” Qu Lang called him, then turned his head to see him looking up with a confused look on his face, so he simply picked up the red fox curled up on his body and threw it on his lap, “I’ll let you take care of the fox. I didn’t do it carefully. The little guy is a little listless following me.”
Qiu Ziran: “???”
It’s just that he has been moving around in his original form because his human form is inconvenient. It’s embarrassing for Qu Lang to make him look like a pet fox, isn’t it?
Jing Xia was caught off guard and caught a fluffy and warm little fox. He was immediately at a loss and spread his hands to protect Qiu Ziran. He then blinked twice slowly and finally reacted. He touched Qiu Ziran’s head gently and replied, “…Yeah.”
As if he realized that his reaction was too cold, Jing Xia paused and added, “I will take good care of it.”
The red fox, who had been living a miserable life since meeting Bai Wang, moved his ears when he heard the words and felt surprisingly moved. He couldn’t help but lick Jing Xia’s fingers and nestle into his arms affectionately.
Watching this scene out of the corner of his eye, Qu Lang curled the corner of his mouth, shifted his gaze straight ahead, and continued chatting casually with the driver.
Jing Xia accepted Qu Lang’s hypnosis, which was equivalent to being semi-forced to open up his inner world; now that he had woken up and rebuilt his psychological defenses, he would go through a stage of resistance and vigilance towards the outside world. But after all, the red fox Qiu Ziran had been a fake therapy dog for so long, and he was a furry little thing which was his own healing weapon, so it was most appropriate for him to comfort Jing Xia.
After all, he was a human who had established a contract with the mermaid, so his initial favorability towards little demons was probably very high.
The red fox Qiu Ziran, who was being appreciated: “…”
He changed his mind a little and felt that he should have come to Jing Xia earlier to be taken care of, instead of hanging on the neck of the rough man Qu Lang pretending to be a scarf.
After getting off the taxi and waiting at the sightseeing bus station for a short while, Bai Ju and his group of five people plus a red fox successfully boarded the sightseeing bus going up the mountain.
As the car climbed steadily, the woods on the side of the mountain road became lush. Barbecued Pork Bun carefully opened the live broadcast room and aimed the camera at the woods outside the car window.
“Hello everyone, I’m the horror game anchor Barbecued Pork Bun.” After introducing himself, Barbecued Pork Bun looked at the reward fireworks and dense barrage on the mobile phone screen, cleared his throat, and continued, “Now, we are on the way to Haiyin Castle. It’s getting late, and the street lights are not very bright. Look at this mountain road, the ghosts are everywhere, isn’t it scary?”
Unfortunately, the stupid netizens didn’t buy it:
——Ding, the electronic eye prompts, look at the reflection of the car window glass, you will have a new discovery.
——Don’t scare me, you in front of woc!!!
——23333Don’t be startled! But please note that the car window glass is real~~~
Barbecued Pork Bun introduced a few more sentences related to Haiyin Castle according to what he remembered. But when he moved his gaze back to look at the mobile phone screen, the direction of the barrage had completely deviated from Haiyin Castle.
Stupid netizens:
——Baozi! Tell the truth now! What’s up with that hot guy next to you?
Barbecued Pork Bun: “…Tsk, a bunch of unfaithful men.”
Fortunately, he had already asked Qu Lang for his opinion beforehand. Captain Qu didn’t mind being photographed, so Barbecued Pork Bun slowly approached him with his phone raised and cleared his throat.
Qu·Collapse·Knight Suit·Lang was unaware of anything and had completely forgotten that he would be in the camera. He was just arranging some matters with his teammates on his phone. So when he noticed Barbecued Pork Bun approaching from the corner of his eye, Qu Lang thought that this coward was scared again, so he pulled a handful of Barbecued Pork Bun’s hair and coaxed him perfunctorily: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
The straight male anchor Barbecued Pork Bun, who didn’t have time to speak, said: “………………”
It’s over. It is impossible for netizens to listen to his explanation anymore.
The author has something to say:
Barbecued Pork Bun: So, is it too late to rewind now?
Captain Qu is innocent. It was the coward Barbecued Pork Bun who begged and pleaded to let Captain Qu stay in the room overnight =w=
