Walker!

It's not the first time Xun Xie has heard this word.

The Land God also mentioned it, saying that he was a 'teacher' at the age of forty-one and a 'walker' at the age of eighty-six.

Old Man Hu said slowly:

"The so-called walker is a type of person who can see, touch, and walk between abnormalities. But it doesn't matter, it's just a title. The point is, as a walker, you may encounter anomalies frequently in the future. "

Xun Xie's heart was uneasy: "What will happen to me?"

Old Man Hu was silent for a while and said cautiously: "The anomalies are very strange, for example, I can't see them at all, naturally I can't perceive their existence, I can't see them. Out of sight, out of mind, everything is peaceful.

But you can see them, which is a trouble.

In mild cases, they are subjected to abnormal harassment all the time, and in serious cases, they may even be killed by them. "

Xun Xie raised his eyebrows: "Can't you destroy them?"

"Probably, maybe it can, but I don't know exactly how to do it." Old Man Hu said vaguely.

"I've heard too many tales about anomalies but many of them are strange so it's hard to tell if the truth or some idiot making up nonsense. What can be certain is that they have the potential to be extremely dangerous." Old Hu continued.

The next day, Mr. Song finally came back, his face was cool as a spring breeze, and it seemed that the date was a success.

Xun Xie hurriedly went to him and asked.

"The ghost. Actually, I can't see it either." Mr. Song shook his head, thought for a while, and gave Xun Xie an address.

"I know someone who can see anomalies just like you and happens to live in seclusion in the town. You can talk to her."

Xun Xie’s mind was refreshed and he followed the address to find someone.

Longevity Square, Green Bamboo Lane.

Xun Xie walked into this deep alley and glanced about. He saw many people sitting in front of their houses weaving bamboo strips, as well as bamboo baskets, lanterns and other items. They should be making a living on this.

Go in.

Xun Xie was suddenly startled and stopped in front of a house.

I saw a white-haired old woman sitting at the door, blindfolded with a cloth covering her left eye, and also weaving bamboo strips.

The moment Xun Xie saw this one-eyed old woman, he was sure that she was the one he was looking for.

He stepped forward and saluted.

The old woman looked at him with her right eye and asked with a smile, "Young man, what do you want to buy? I have a newly made flower basket here, a dustpan..."

Xun Xie quickly interrupted, "Mr. Song asked me to come."

The old woman was startled, looked at Xun Xie carefully, and said sternly, "I have been in seclusion for a long time, and I am no longer in the rivers and lakes. What did he ask you to come to me for?"

Stressed Xun Xie, talked about his own situation.

"Oh, you can see the abnormality as soon as you break through the fourth level of blood power?"

The old woman was not too surprised but smiled miserably: "I'm better than you a little bit. I can only see abnormalities when I broke through to the fifth level of blood power. At that time, I was almost forty years old."

Xun Xie took out a silver ingot and put it on the old woman's lap, and said sincerely, "This young one knows nothing about abnormalities, please give me some advice."

The old woman glanced at the silver ingot, put it into her sleeve with a smile, and motioned Xun Xie to sit on the steps.

Xun Xie was not polite and sat down.

The old woman looked around and whispered:

"About the anomaly, there's actually not much information I can tell you, and some of the information is true and false, and I can't be completely sure myself. In this way, I want to tell you some information that I'm sure about."

Xun Xie nodded, pricked up his ears and listened quietly.

The old woman thought for a while, organized the language, and said slowly:

"The first point, the higher the realm of a warrior, the more anomalies that can be encountered, the more terrifying they can be.

Although everyone's starting point may be different, as long as you keep practicing martial arts, you will eventually see abnormalities.

In other words, all warriors will eventually become walkers, sooner or later.

The second point is that although all walkers can see anomalies, different people, even if they encounter the same anomaly, may see the same scene, or they may see something completely different.

The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the sages. A thousand practitioners may have a thousand images.

The third and most important point is what to do when you encounter an anomaly or ghost.

You have to keep three principles in mind:

First, you turn a blind eye to the ghost, and the anomaly may also turn a blind eye to you. "

Hear here.

Xun Xie frowned and said, "As long as I pretend that I can't see the abnormality, the abnormality won't come to harm me?"

"In most cases, that's it.

Think about it, those people who can't see anything abnormal, aren’t they just out of sight and out of mind, and everything is at peace with no troubles? "The old woman pointed out.

Xun Xie was thoughtful.

The old woman paused and continued:

"Secondly, anomalies have laws of action.

For example, if you meet that little girl, she should be the type who likes to stalk people. They tend to follow a person until they die before turning to another target.

For another example, there are also some anomalies that do not move casually, they only move within a certain area, and as long as you stay away from that place, nothing will happen.

Third, the last principle, if you have to take action against anomalies, you must remember that the clearer and more realistic the anomaly you can see, the more damage you can cause to it.

If you can't see the anomaly clearly, or you can't see it comprehensively, then the anomaly is almost impossible to kill for you, but you may be killed by the anomaly.

Of course, if you are too weak, even if you can see the anomalies clearly, it is impossible to kill them. Well, that's all. "

Xun Xie digested the old woman's words and asked, "Grandma, can you still see anything abnormal?"

"Me?"

The old woman was silent for a moment, with a complicated expression on her face, "To be honest, I used to be too rigorous and careless.

After I broke through the fifth level of blood energy, I was able to see abnormalities. Only my left eye could see it, while my right eye was normal.

When I saw the anomaly for the first time, I wasn't too scared but was curious about the anomaly. Although someone warned me repeatedly, I didn't listen.

So, I took the initiative to contact the anomaly and ended up provoking a terrible guy.

The anomaly found out that I was looking at it and came to my side. After that, it followed me. No matter where I went, he followed me.

It was very quiet and did nothing to me, just kept staring at me.

After I was eating, it stared at me, when I was sleeping, it stared at me, and when I woke up and opened my eyes, it was still staring at me.

No matter what I do, I can't get rid of it. Gradually, I almost went crazy, scared, helpless, desperate, but it was always by my side, staring at me..."

Speaking of this, the old woman lifted the blindfold, revealing a broken and empty eye socket, "One day, I wanted to open it and mutilated my left eye with my own hands, and I can no longer see anything abnormal. I am relieved.”

Xun Xie shuddered and got up to leave.

Just after walking a few steps, the old woman suddenly shouted, "Young man, look around me, is there anything abnormal?"

Xun Xie shivered slightly and said without turning his head, "No, there is nothing abnormal around you."

After that, he quickly left.

It was not until he walked out of Green Bamboo Lane that Xun Xie dared to turn his head back, looked at the Alley, confirmed that nothing was chasing him, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Beside the old woman, there is an abnormal, human-shaped outline, with no skin on the whole body, dripping with blood like a bloody corpse. It had two heads and three arms with no face and eight fingers.

Strangely, Xun Xie didn't see that it had eyes, but its tongue was very long, the scarlet tongue was covered with tiny eyes, densely packed, stretched out and wrapped around the old woman's neck, and then the tip of the tongue was partially inserted into the old woman's mouth...
