I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 719 Going up the mountain
"This is a bit troublesome. Please keep an eye on this place for me and report any problems at any time." Li Ming said lightly.

Standing next to him was Xu Ang, who was rescued from the Ghost Castle not long ago. After experiencing the Tianquan Temple incident, Li Ming chose to lie dormant for a while and see what the clown in the dark would do. Therefore, he did not use the power of the Wang family, but instead used the mysterious association he established.

Xu Ang himself is a person who has experienced strange events. Theoretically speaking, he is unlucky and is no longer protected by that kind of mysterious will. He is more likely to discover strange events than ordinary people, so it is best to let them handle this kind of thing.

After a few brief instructions, Li Ming left quickly, leaving Xu Ang to continue monitoring the dead end at the entrance of the apartment in the high-rise building.

Li Ming came to the rooftop alone, with a strange look in his eyes.

"It seems the main body's situation isn't good. Maintaining balance is becoming increasingly difficult. If that's the case, then I understand."

Longbao Mountain is located at the junction of two cities. It is very famous, but in fact the scenery is not beautiful. The so-called ancient tombs are mostly gimmicks. They were popular for a while but then became deserted. Foreign tourists have been cheated so many times that they naturally won't come here to be ripped off. Even tomb robbers know that the ancient tombs here were dug up by our ancestors and nothing is left.

Not to mention that the mountain roads here are difficult to travel on and transportation is inconvenient. Over time, it has become a lawless place.

The sunshine today is particularly good. Such warm sunshine in autumn is rare. A car is driving on the national highway. There are endless rice fields on both sides of the road. It looks like a peaceful scene, but the people in the car are worried, especially Chen Chao. After losing the ghost mask, he was shrouded in a strong sense of uneasiness, and this uneasiness almost reached its peak yesterday. Now he just feels that this road is like a huge black hole, and there is an unknown abyss ahead.

Although he received another strange item from the apartment after completing the task, this thing was not as good as the ghost mask, and it was even just a bottle of potion. He felt that this bottle of potion was most likely a disposable item, but he was not sure whether the potion was for himself to take or had other uses. The arrival of the monk Chengguang last night undoubtedly deepened his irritability.

He is not an ordinary person, he is very scheming and resourceful, otherwise he would not have been able to survive in this apartment until today. He has a keen intuition and many abnormal things have happened in the apartment recently. He has a feeling that the apartment seems very impatient, which indicates that something big may be about to happen.

And such major events often mean more deaths!
He didn't want to die, he wanted to live, but it was almost an impossible task for him to do it alone, so he hooked up with Chu Ge, a dangerous and crazy man.

Chu Ge and Cheng Tian are almost contemporaries. Both are famous for their wisdom, but unlike Cheng Tian who is optimistic, cheerful and positive, Chu Ge is known to other residents for his extremes.

Chen Chao had heard a rumor that during a certain mission, a resident did not follow Chu Ge's arrangements and met a horrible end. Chu Ge even discovered the patterns of ghosts and spread the curse to his family.

If it weren't for this, he might have a better chance of becoming the building manager.

But Chu Ge doesn't care about these things, he is just a complete lunatic!

Compared to most apartment residents who are struggling to survive, he regards the mission as an extreme challenge. He likes to walk on the edge of danger, and the thrill of death only makes him feel more excited. Although Chu Ge never mentioned it, Chen Chao understands that if he can really return to real life after ten missions and never deal with ghosts again, this crazy wise man may be disappointed.

Despite this, Chen Chao understood Chu Ge's wisdom far better than anyone else. Missions must follow certain patterns. Discovering these patterns and mastering them allowed one to navigate the mission with ease. This was Chu Ge's ability, but often, when he couldn't fully decipher the rules, he would do what seemed insane to outsiders, even sacrificing the lives of others.

So Chen Chao believed in Chu Ge's ability, but he couldn't bet on his character and whether he would treat him as a sacrifice.

"That's it." Chu Ge said in the passenger seat.

Xu Tianfeng, who was driving, stopped the car immediately. There was a dark-skinned young man squatting on a rock by the road, smoking. The young man looked honest, but next to him was an old man with a goatee. There was a hint of cunning in the old man's eyes, which was common among mountain people.

Chu Ge opened the car door, looked at the old man and the young man and said, "Where are the things?"

The old man chuckled and looked at a large sack piled next to the rocks behind him. It looked like it was quite heavy.

Chu Ge didn't ask any more questions. He took out a bunch of money from his pocket and threw it over. Seeing this, the old man immediately gave a thumbs up and said in a hoarse voice, "Good boy, you are worthy of being introduced by Master Qi. You are very straightforward. If you go any further, you won't be able to drive any further. Do you want to rent our donkey cart? We will also provide you with a guide service for free."

Chu Ge frowned slightly, then said, "You know that it was Master Qi who introduced me. It's a bit unfair to give me such a blow."

The old man laughed heartily and then said, "Hey, don't accuse me of being dishonest. We know exactly what you want to do. We live off the land. Longbao Mountain has nothing but a lot of cemeteries, but they've been dug up. You want to gamble, and we want to play along. We don't want the money from the dead dug out of the ground, but you have to let us make some money from the living. After all, we don't know if we'll dig up our ancestral graves."

Seeing the old man's expression, Chu Ge didn't say much. Chen Chao then asked, "How much is it? Give me a definite price. Let's agree on it this time. It's a fixed price. Don't do this again in the future."

Seeing this, the old man nodded and stretched out three fingers. Chen Chao took a breath, counted out the money from his wallet and threw it out.

The old man didn't order anymore, and then he said to the young man behind him: "You fool, what are you standing there for? Go get the carriage and take the others with you!"

The man called Erlangzi also turned around and drove out a donkey cart and an ox cart from the back, which were more than enough to seat them.

After they parked the car, prepared everything and sat in the car, the old man chuckled and said, "I've been here for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen a monk doing this."

Chengguang just smiled when he heard this, and said half-jokingly: "I am here only to save the souls of the dead."
