3. Thai Linh is a long and desolate area, and there are no villages along the national highway. If you see someone offering local specialties, please do not trust them, and do not buy them. They are all scammers.
4. In the same vein, if you see someone reaching out to hail a cab, please ignore them, they could very well be robbers.

The first section runs from 9 points on the first evening to 12 points on the first evening. Small area runs from 6 points on the first morning to 9 points on the first evening.
6. Flat area things to pay attention to: These two routes are both at the foot of the mountain, the road is relatively stable and safe. During this time, it is recommended that you can go to the roadside toilet, or ask the driver to stop the car, get out of the car and stretch your muscles. But you must avoid it, please arrange the time reasonably, because the bus must ensure the 6 points after entering the small area.
7. Things to note in the Dou Xiao area: This route is winding and full of wild animals, extremely dangerous.

Please follow the rules, I wish you a smooth journey and a safe journey. ]
After reading this rule document, the car's clock just passed 0, the driver who was also the demon hunter Li Qiao shouted loudly to start, then stepped on the gas pedal.
Tu Tri yawned and looked at the rules a few more times. Chu Ha finally couldn't hold it in any longer, "Mr. Hai Tru, you should rest first."
The people of the Traveling Group had already gone to sleep. They would probably have to wait until tomorrow to see this rule. Chu He felt that Xu Zhi did not need to be too anxious. After all, there was plenty of time, so he should first conserve his energy. In case he really encountered Yue Ling Shi, he would have to compete for his mental strength.
"I have a few questions." Tu Tri bent his back and whispered to Chu Ha. "What is the flat area and the small area?"
Chu Ha: "The relatively safe zone and the dangerous zone can both be said to cover the entire Pollution Zone, it's just that the pollution level is different. The rate of ghosts and drunkards coming and going in the dangerous zone has greatly increased."
"Why is it arranged like that when running?"
"We have concluded over the years that it is safest to do this."
"What is the story about the hotel and the mountain top?"
"The hotel is actually a ghost town, but it has signed a contract with our under-registration agency, the Drunken Master House, to protect the safety of passersby at night. As for the time it took to pass the mountain peak, it was a summary of the 25 gentlemen's activities based on the Viet Linh Thi base's years of operation."
Chu Ha said, her upper and lower eyelids were already fighting. Today she had to detain Phung Lang, hunt down demons, borrow money, and cooperate with the Traveling Group, her mind was extremely tired.
"Mr. Hai Tru, good night." She said. "I hope we have a smooth journey and don't encounter Viet Linh Thi. Even if I incur a huge debt, I am willing..."
As she spoke, she snored loudly.
Tu Tri smiled and shook her head, it was not easy to get rid of the Drunken Master. At this moment, she heard a deep voice from beside her, "Child, your name is Tu Tri, right?"
Tu Tri turned her head and saw Professor Lam staring at her without blinking. Tu Tri smiled, "That's right, Professor Lam."
This foreign professor spoke Xia country's words clearly. But this person was not a linguistics professor, but a folk scholar. Indeed, a scholarly master in many fields was an existence that crushed ordinary people. Tu Tri thought.
"My Xia country's name is Lin Ao Huo." Professor Lin still maintained his unmoving posture, "Miss Zhou called you Mr. Haizu, which two words are they?"
"Sea water, pillar tree."
"Why such a strange name?" Professor Lam asked again. Under the dark car lights, Tu Tri felt that her eyes were a bit deeper.
"Nothing, just feel that if we set up two pillars on the beach, and pull up a curtain between the pillars, it would be a dreamlike scene." Tu Tri said.
This is of course her naughty.
*
In fact, the reason she got this name in her previous life was because of a fortune telling. At that time, she was desperate for a living and decided to become a private detective. Worried that she, a weak girl, would not be able to do well, she went to find a very famous Tarot master.
"Priest, I believe you will succeed." At that time, that Tarot master said this.
Tu Tri received the priestess's card and looked at the card face. Then, she pointed at a pair of pillars standing on the shore behind the priestess, one black and one white, and asked, "What is this?"
"The black pillar represents 'bearing and creating', the white pillar represents 'inner strength', it is the pillar of truth named by the gods."
"It sounds very impressive." Tu Tri said with a smile.
So she decided to become a private detective. Worried that others would see her as a girl and find her unreliable, so she decided to create a stage name for herself, Mr. xx. Which two words should xx choose?
Tu Tri thought of the priestess's face, thought of that mysterious pillar.
She decided to call herself Mr. Hai Tru.
*
"You said it right, the next ritual I want to study is to hold it on the beach. Local ethnic minorities, in order to entertain their gods, will set up a pole on the beach at the time of the tide, and use cloth to wrap the pole..."
Seeing Professor Lam talking about her research, talking non-stop, Tu Tri had no choice but to politely interrupt her.
"I hope you have a new, important discovery this time. Good night. Professor Lam, I will look at some more documents and then go to sleep. You should also rest early."
Finished speaking, she took out Viet Linh Thi's file from her bag and looked at it seriously. This was what she had gotten from Chu Ha after receiving this mission in the afternoon. She had been too busy shopping for flashlights, food, drinks, and other items, and had not come to look at it yet.
Leaning against the faint light of the wall lamp on the car, she finished reading all the information Viet Linh Thi had.
*
Unlike himself, the wanted ghost Tu Tri's arrest warrant was much more detailed and detailed than Viet Linh Thi's.
This ghost drug appeared ten years ago.
That year, on the ninth day of the ninth month, a bus was traveling on the Tailing National Highway. They hit a funeral procession, with four people carrying a coffin. The rope of the coffin broke, the coffin fell to the ground, and the corpses inside spilled out.
"At that time, the driver and passengers in the car did not feel anything strange, they just thought that the rope tied to the coffin was not sturdy.
The car drove for a while, they saw someone blocking the road, wanting to hitch a ride. They saw that there was still an empty seat in the car, so they let the person get in.
Then the bus fell down the cliff.
A passenger with good memory remembered that the body that came out of the coffin looked exactly like the one that was taken by the passenger on the bus!
'It' looked like a woman, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a head of water-based hair. Her face was covered in thick powder, and her whole body smelled fragrant.' The above words came from a passenger's dying diary. From then on, the Drunken Master's Office established a new drunken ghost file: [Unknown Corpse 8907].
8907 is the number, representing the entire Xia nation except for the Drunken Master Alliance that currently possesses a type of ghostly drunk corpse of unknown characteristics.
The first year, the same event happened again, still happening in September, except the bus fell off the cliff and was delayed by a few kilometers.
The third year, the fourth year... Every year, during the ninth month, there would be a passenger car crash, and the location would constantly be directed towards the Tailing export market. The Lingxia City official issued [Unknown Corpse 8907] to the Drunken Master Mansion and renamed it [Yueling Corpse]——a strange corpse that had been thrown into the cliff by the continuously passing passenger cars, thus achieving its own purpose of climbing mountains and wading through streams.
The Lingxia Clan sent out several Drunken Masters and more than ten Demon Hunters, all of which were lost in the hands of [Yueling Corpse]. According to some of the Drunken Masters and Demon Hunters left behind, during the incident, the passenger bus would experience a series of strange events, such as a toilet suddenly appearing on the side of the road, some people could see it, but others could not. Another example was when a car was speeding, and outside the window, someone was talking, touting local mountain products...
Considering this strangeness and danger, the rank of [Viet Linh Thi] was set to S rank, and people were momentarily terrified. Moreover, because of the [Viet Linh Thi]'s activities, it also triggered the activity of other low-level ghosts in Thai Linh.
Until ten years ago, the 37th tablet, named Duong Hung Tru Tuy Su, was transferred to serve as the Tru Tuy Su office.
"37 fought hard with [Viet Linh Thi], although he could not successfully subdue 'it'. But he summarized 'it's' operating rules. 37 personally traveled to complete the Tai Ling, based on the different auras of the ghosts, divided the Tai Ling pass into three sections: safe zone, dangerous zone, and safe zone. He also established a travel map rule.
37th, the ninth month of the lunar calendar was declared a fierce month, during which time all tourists and commercial vehicles were banned from passing through Thai Linh.
At the same time, that year, for nine months, he sent out an empty car every day to guard the entrance to the Tailing Pass at dawn. From the beginning, many people laughed at him for messing around. What could an empty car do if it stopped there?
Then, one day in the middle of September, everyone was surprised to find that the empty car that had been sitting motionless in front of them suddenly started moving towards the Tailing Pass, as if there was a driver in the car. Not long after, the remains of the car were found at the foot of the mountain.
"After a few years, this method was always correct, every year in the ninth month, an empty car was sent out, causing the empty car to crash. There was no more casualty. The remaining months were peaceful, without any safety incidents. 37 was also because of the small price of squeezing [Viet Linh Thi], and with the other few real losses, it was promoted to 25."
After reading Viet Linh Thi's profile, he turned back to look at the "Thai Linh Pass Travel Guide Rules". Tu Tri understood that this was a rule intentionally created for Viet Linh Thi.
"This 25, what a formidable character." She exclaimed.
Perhaps because he left the Lingxia City at the age of 25, he was sensed by Viet Linh Thi. So this year, first it was Professor Lam, then it was Lu Hanh Doan, and at the same time, he was recruited to be a monthly guest in Thai Linh.
Still because of another reason...
The more Tu Tri thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep. She poked the soft furry rabbit head of her bag and said in a low voice, "Rabbit, are you awake? Can you help me see if this inn is dangerous?"
With that, she put her head close to her bag.
Suddenly, Hong Tu appeared:
[Once you sign the familiarization ritual of the ghost, you can sketch out 'it's' appearance in your mind while calling you by 'it's' name, and then you can communicate with 'it' in your mind.]
Tu Tri was stunned, how did Hong Tu suddenly become so kind? After a while, she understood, if Chu Ha and the other two demon hunters discovered that their pet rabbit could speak human language, they would definitely suspect her.
Tu Tri hurriedly pressed Hong Tu's reminder and imagined a rabbit the size of a palm in his mind, calling out, "Fu Ach rabbit, are you awake?"
"Stupid woman, why did you wake me up?" The rabbit's angry voice came from her mind, and then Tu Tri felt her bag shake, and then a small, fluffy rabbit head stretched out, glaring at her unhappily.
"You help me see, in the next few days, how is my fortune." Tu Tri said in his heart.
Fu Ao's two ears emitted a deep light. A moment later, a burst of mad laughter came from Xu Zhi's mind: "Wa ha ha ha, stupid woman. You will die. You will die immediately."
"How will I die?" Tu Tri asked quickly.
"I can't say." The happy rabbit waved his arms and legs around in his bag. Once this woman died, he would be free.
Hong Zi appeared again: [Use the coercive command on 'it', all the restrictions 'it' has will be lifted, 'it' will speak out everything 'it' knows. The coercive command spell is: 'For my loved ones, listen to my orders, secretly restrain, coercively tear.']
Thank you, Tu Tri said in her heart. She was about to chant the command spell, but suddenly opened her mouth wide. That's not right.
First, let's not talk about why Hong Zi is helping her so unusually today. Just talking about this rule, it implies that Fu A's rabbit seems to have been subjected to some kind of restriction. If she forces Fu A's rabbit to reveal her fate, breaking the restriction. Could she and Fu A's rabbit be subjected to some kind of punishment?
Towards Hong Tu, he really couldn't be careless for even a moment. Tu Tri tiredly rubbed his temples.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I also won't use coercive orders." Tu Tri said to the rabbit in his mind.
The dancing rabbit was stunned when it heard this. 'It' opened its three mouths wide, what kind of status is this woman, to actually know such a high level spell.
After a few seconds, 'it' coughed, "It's all because of you, this stupid woman, that I fell off the wagon. If it was the me from before, I would have absolutely no restrictions."
The more it spoke, the smaller its voice became, "You are going to be unlucky to death. You are really unlucky to death. You are actually involved in two, this is a sure-to-die situation. Even if you are lucky enough to escape, there is another sure-to-die situation waiting for you."
Because referring to the devil drug, moreover it is more powerful than the devil drug, 'it' can only say so much.
Humph! 'it' is not looking at this woman not using coercive orders, not making it completely perish.
Having said that, 'it' yawned, then curled up into a ball and fell asleep again.
Looking at the rabbit's rising and falling belly, Tu Tri understood that the information just now from the Fu Ach rabbit was vague, but it was truly the limit of what 'it' could do.
"Thank you. Rabbit." She said in her heart.
For now, the best solution is to leave this place. Tu Tri quietly turned around and looked at Ly Dinh Dinh who was snoring.
She wanted to wake up Li Tingting, make Li Tingting give her that bottle of [Seduction Perfume], then spit it out in her mouth, and convince Zhou He to clear the way back to the mansion.
Just as he thought that, Hong Tu appeared again.
[Once you step onto 'its' path, you will never be able to return to the old path. Otherwise, you will surely die.]
Tu Tri was so scared that he almost coughed.
If she had known, she should not have accepted this mission!
Fu Ach Chi Tho said that she would definitely die this time, but Hong Tu said that she could only go forward and not turn back. Could it be that she had no way to live?
Tu Tri shouted loudly in his heart, "Hong Tu, do you have any reminders?"
After a good match, Hong Tu slowly appeared.
[Focus all your mental power on your eyes, look at this car, carry the deepest malice, the most poisonous curse, imagine 'it' being destroyed. ]
Tu Tri: Numb.
Hong Tu is here again.
She dared to affirm that as long as she did so, Hong Tu's resurrection would speed up, not to mention the other people in the car would also die together.
I believe you, you old drunkard, you are really a bad person. Tu Tri cursed in his heart and closed his eyes.
There will be a road before the car reaches the mountain, she can only trust herself, rely on herself.
On one side, Professor Lam opened his eyes again, his eyes looking at Tu Tri's eyes for a moment.
*
Tu Tri was awakened by a series of quarrels.
"What a mess this is, it gives everyone goosebumps." Under the morning sunlight, Tu Tri reluctantly lifted his eyelids and looked at the clock in front of the bus, which was approaching 5 o'clock.
At this moment, a fat middle-aged aunt stood in the middle of the passenger car corridor with her hands on her hips and angrily scolded, "You still want us to obey. You treat us like servants!"
On the other hand, the people of the Travel Group also nodded their heads in agreement. Last night, they fell asleep as soon as they got on the bus, and just now when they woke up, they saw that part of the "Thai Ling Pass Travel Rules".
They were shocked, this was not a tourist behavior procedure, it was clearly a bit of a shabby writing. They eagerly asked Zhou He and the others to give them an explanation.
"Get out of the car, we want to get out of the car, we have to go back!" The fat lady waved her thick arms, excitedly shouting.
The other people in the Traveling Group also followed suit, shouting loudly.
