Director Wang then drove his car and took us to his hometown. After all, his brother disappeared near his hometown, and there might be clues there.
Taoist Qingfeng asked in the car, "What exactly is this thing? It was not explained clearly on the phone just now."
"Hongmen Inn." Li Mingyao said these four words, closed his eyes and rested.
As I expected, when Taoist Qingfeng heard the words "Red Gate Inn", he was surprised and asked, "Are you sure it's this thing?"
"not yet"
Director Wang, who was driving in the front, heard the conversation and said, "I have a recording on my phone, you can listen to it." Then he took out the recording and handed it to Taoist Qingfeng who was in the passenger seat.
I saw that Taoist Qingfeng frowned when he heard the recording. After listening to it, he said: "It should be almost correct. It's a bit difficult this time. Boy, use that thing. It should be fine after using it." Taoist Qingfeng talked to himself in the first half of the sentence, and said to Li Mingyao in the second half.
"Well, if the time comes, I will consider using that thing." Li Mingyao said.
I always feel that he became lifeless and mature after meeting Taoist Qingfeng, and no longer as lively as when he was with me.
Director Wang drove for about three hours, got on the highway, and finally arrived at a county town. The road further back went, the more remote it became. When he arrived at Director Wang’s hometown, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.
Director Wang’s hometown is in a small village in the countryside. This small village is very remote and basically all houses are one-story buildings, and there are even many houses covered with mud. Director Wang’s house stands out in the village. I have a three-story brick house with ceramic tiles on the outside.
Director Wang enthusiastically led us into his old house. After entering, we found that although it looked like an ordinary farmhouse from the outside, the interior was decorated very luxuriously, just like a small villa.
"Come on, come in and sit down. We don't have anything special to treat you, just some farm dishes." Director Wang said as he pulled us to the dining table.
At this time, a person dressed as a nanny came up with the food. Everyone started eating without hesitation. After eating and drinking, they looked at the time. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. Taoist Qingfeng said, "Okay, it's almost time. Let's find the location of the Red Gate Inn first."
"How are you going to find it?" Li Mingyao asked.
"Haha, you should also have a five-element compass. Yours is an earth compass, which has the effect of attacking ghosts and monsters. Mine is a gold compass, which is a compass for calculating the position of ghosts and monsters, so you can rest assured about this." Taoist Qingfeng said with great confidence.
Later I learned that there are five elements of compass in these major sects, namely gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. These five compasses were carried by Zhang Tianshi in the past. The gold compass can be used to find ghosts. The wood compass is a compass for knowing the past and the future and for calculating people's fortunes. The water compass is a compass for finding dragon points and looking at feng shui. The fire compass and the earth compass are both used to catch ghosts, but the attack methods are different.
Of course, the golden compass and earthen compass in the hands of Li Mingyao and Taoist Qingfeng are just imitations of those from Maoshan and Longhushan.
I nodded, took out the 'Five Thunderbolts Talisman' from my bag and prepared myself, while Taoist Qingfeng carried a large backpack.
After a little preparation, Taoist Qingfeng took out a golden compass. The golden compass was much larger than Li Mingyao's earthen compass, and it was golden in color. It was actually made of pure gold.
Taoist Qingfeng picked up a red talisman, shook it a few times, and muttered a few words. The talisman in his hand began to burn. After it burned out, Taoist Qingfeng wiped the powder from the burnt talisman onto the compass.
Suddenly, the compass of his compass flashed a golden light, and disappeared after a few seconds. Taoist Qingfeng squinted his eyes and looked at the compass and said, "Southwest direction."
After saying that, he opened the door and ran towards the southwest. Li Mingyao and I followed him immediately, and Director Wang also followed. Originally, we didn't want to let Director Wang follow, but he insisted on following, so we had no choice but to let him follow.
We followed Taoist Qingfeng and ran towards the southwest for about five minutes before he stopped. We were out of breath from running, especially me. I usually surf the Internet and sleep all day, a typical otaku. I couldn't believe that I could run for 5 minutes. When I came to my senses, I saw that the surroundings here were very remote. There were not even birds around. It was a small hill with many trees, but where was the Red Gate Inn
"What should we do?" Li Mingyao asked Taoist Qingfeng breathlessly.
"There is a way that is safer." Taoist Qingfeng looked around and said.
"What method? Just tell me directly." I felt a little angry seeing this guy still keeping the secret.
"Who among you is not afraid of death?" Taoist Qingfeng glanced at the three of us.
The three of us were stunned when we heard this. In the end, I was the first to react: "You old bastard, what you said is nonsense. Who is not afraid of death?"
Taoist Qingfeng didn't get angry when I scolded him, but said: "My method is to open the altar, let you tie a red rope around your body, and then I will send you into the Red Gate Inn, find Wang Shengquan's brother and then follow the red rope out. Who of you three will go?"
When we said this, we all looked at Director Wang, but Director Wang shook his head like a rattle. I sighed. Although Director Wang said that his brother was very important to him, he backed off when he really had to risk his life to save his brother.
After thinking about it, he decided to go ahead and said to Taoist Qingfeng: "Brother Qingfeng, I'll go."
"Hmph, no need for that. I'm just playing with Wang Shengquan. Let that kid Li Mingyao go. He has something to save his life, and at worst he can get out on his own." Taoist Qingfeng was extremely dissatisfied with Director Wang's performance and said with a snort.
Li Mingyao nodded after hearing this. I asked worriedly, "Old Li, is everything okay? Otherwise, let's go in together so that we can have someone to look after us."
"No need, it's not like you don't know yourself. Going in will only cause me some trouble. Just stay outside and provide support at any time, haha." Li Mingyao said, but he paused, and seeing that I was worried, he said, "Don't worry, just like Taoist Qingfeng said, I have something to save my life, don't worry."
After that, he said to Taoist Qingfeng: "Let's get started. Saving people is important. Don't dawdle."
Taoist Qingfeng then opened the altar, took out incense, candles and other things, placed a red candle on the altar, and then took out a red rope, tied one end to the candle and the other end to Li Mingyao's waist. Taoist Qingfeng instructed: "Remember, the red rope cannot be broken after entering. If it is broken, you are finished. Also remember that everything you see inside is fake. You should have many hallucinations when entering the Red Gate Inn. As long as you can't control yourself, you will die."
Li Mingyao nodded, then turned and walked southwest again. Not long after he walked, a blood-red door panel appeared in front of him. Li Mingyao pushed the door open without hesitation. After Li Mingyao entered, the door disappeared.
However, the red rope was still moving towards the door, and it seemed that Li Mingyao was active inside.
I should be the most worried person present, after all, Li Mingyao and I have a really good relationship. Suddenly, I felt that I shouldn’t help Director Wang this time. Then I shook my head. What was I thinking? Was I crazy? I watched the red rope getting shorter and shorter, and I didn’t know what was going on inside. Taoist Qingfeng also had a serious face, holding a peach wood sword and staring at the direction of Hongmen Inn, with a serious face.
