Popularizing The Way Of Cultivation - Chapter 23

Chapter 23 A Bus Full of Souls

Not long after, a vehicle stopped. This time, it was a bus. It was a bus that would pass by Qi Mountain.

The bus slowly stopped in front of the bus stop. The driver glanced at Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu nodded slightly, stood up, and got on the bus.

The little girl followed behind shyly.

“Two yuan for each person, thank you.” The bus driver who was sitting in the driver’s seat spoke mechanically.

Luo Xiu nodded slightly, took out four coins from his pocket, and put them into the change box. The bus driver heard the sounds of four coins dropping into the change box, turned his head in confusion, and looked behind Luo Xiu.

There was no one else.

People without spiritual power naturally couldn’t see the wandering souls.

After paying, Luo Xiu slowly walked to the back of the bus and found a seat to sit down.

The driver muttered, “What a weirdo.” Then, he started the engine and drove forward.

On the way, at every stop, Luo Xiu would walk to the front and say to the driver, “Please stop.”

Then, he would put a few coins into the change box.

Sometimes it was two coins. Sometimes it was four coins. One time, Luo Xiu even put ten coins into the box at once.

However, each time, no one got into the car. The driver would only stop for a moment. Then, Luo Xiu would remind him to start the bus.

This was extremely strange to the driver. He felt that Luo Xiu was mentally ill! The way he looked at Luo Xiu also became vigilant.

After all, any average person would be more or less afraid of mentally abnormal people. Who knew what dangerous things they would do next?

At the same time, he did not dare to provoke Luo Xiu. He could only try to cooperate with him. It was better this way to avoid trouble.

However, he did not know that the bus was almost full. Almost every seat was filled with a bloody person.

Some people lost an arm. Some people lost a leg. Some people lost half of their bodies. Some people had their internal organs emptied.

These were the villagers from the village at the foot of Qi Mountain. They had all died at the mouth of that demon.

They arrived at another bus stop. The driver slowly stopped the bus in front of the platform. Then, he subconsciously looked at Luo Xiu through the rearview mirror. However, Luo Xiu did not move this time. He just sat calmly in his seat.

The door opened, and a man and a woman got on the bus while chatting and laughing.

They each carried backpacks, tripods, and other photography equipment in their hands. Obviously, they were photographers.

Luo Xiu did not intend to have any interaction with them. When they arrived at their destination, they would just get off the car.

However, the girl’s following sentence caught Luo Xiu’s attention, “Ah Qiang, I heard that there was a mountain fire at Qi Mountain. It seems that the high temperature caused the fire to combust spontaneously. This time, we will definitely be able to get some good photos!”

“That’s right. Besides the scenery, we can also take photographs of people.”

“I heard that there are already many fire trucks driving over. If we can film the scene of the firemen putting out the fire, we can also add a few close-ups of the characters.”

“We’ll definitely pass this graduation project!”

“If the theme can be sublimated, we might even win an award! Lili, we might even be able to make a small fortune!”

Hearing this, Luo Xiu, who was sitting not far away, turned his head and looked at the two of them.

From their words, Luo Xiu could tell that they wanted to go to Qi Mountain to take photos and even seek to profit from the tragedy at Qi Mountain.

Luo Xiu would not concern himself with this. Everyone had their way of living. The fire on Qi Mountain was caused by the demons, not them, so there was no need to blame them. It was only their own business if they wanted to make money from the disaster.

However, were these two going to Qi Mountain? It was not as simple as a fire. If things went wrong, everyone near Qi Mountain would die!

“Are you going to Qi Mountain?” After some thought, Luo Xiu spoke.

When the man and woman heard Luo Xiu’s words, they shut their mouths at the same time and looked at Luo Xiu.

Then, the boy named Ah Qiang frowned and said impatiently, “What does it have to do with you?”

The girl named Lili also showed a disgusted expression. She looked Luo Xiu up and down and then said, “Is this guy crazy? What does it have to do with him?”.

“He’s wearing a set of rustic clothes. Does he think he’s handsome?”?

“What era is it, bumpkin?”

When the man and woman spoke rudely to Luo Xiu, everyone in the car turned to look at them.

Their faces were deathly pale. They didn’t have the complexion that an average person should have.

Their gazes were empty. It was as if they were corpses that walked between heaven and earth on instinct alone.

They were all wandering souls.

Logically speaking, they shouldn’t have too much of a reaction to their surroundings.

However, they instinctively looked at Ah Qiang and Lili. They instinctively felt disgusted.

Among them was a wandering soul that looked like a middle-aged man. He slowly stood up and panted heavily.

He seemed to be mumbling something, “Bad guy… Bad guy…”

Then, he left his seat and stared at Ah Qiang, and was about to walk over. However, Ah Qiang and Lili didn’t know anything about this.

At this moment, Luo Xiu finally frowned slightly, “Stand down.”

The wandering soul was slightly stunned and seemed to have woken up but also seemed to be relying on his instincts to move. He turned around and returned to his seat, still muttering, “Stand down… Stand down…”

Qiang and Lili were also clueless about this. Qiang suddenly stood up and glared at Luo Xiu furiously, “What did you say just now? What do you mean? Are you looking for trouble?”

There was a hint of threat in his words.

Apparently, he had taken what Luo Xiu had said to the wandering soul as something meant for him.
