Under the dark night, there was a faint and dancing yellow light. The light of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is extremely dim, but there is a power to penetrate the darkness. Outside the door, it suddenly became noisy, a sound different from that of living beings. The sound was astringent, like the sound of iron striking each other. The sound was one after the other, and it was very clear in the quiet of the night.

Xie Jiuli and Wei Xiaoan glanced at each other in unison, and then their eyes fell on the Qian Qian who was standing in the middle of the room. Xie Jiuli asked softly, "What's the situation?"

It's still coming, and the heart that was hanging suddenly fell at this moment.

He said in a deep voice: "I asked you just now, what day is today. ”

Xie Jiuli was puzzled: "Is this the time to talk about this? Didn't I answer you, today is the 10th of January!"

Qian Ji shook his head slightly, "Jiu Li, you didn't understand what I meant. ”

Xie Jiuli was stunned, "What do you mean by that?"

"Do you know what the Midyear Festival is?"

There is a so-called "three yuan" in China, which refers to the fifteenth day of the first month, the middle yuan of July 15 and the fifteenth day of October. Among them, the mid-year festival, commonly known as the Ghost Festival, is called the Obon Festival in Buddhism in the seventh and a half months.

Legend has it that on that day, the gates of hell were opened, and the ghosts of the underworld would be released. Spirits of descendants and descendants go home to receive incense offerings, while ownerless souls wander about, wandering wherever they can find something to eat. Therefore, in July, people hold "Pudu" and "almsgiving" almsgiving activities such as food sacrifices and chanting sutras, so as to prevent the lonely souls and wild ghosts from causing disasters to the world, or pray for ghosts to help remove epidemics and bless the safety of their homes. Therefore, in some areas, there will be a custom of Pudu on this day, called "Zhongyuan Pudu", and later it developed into a grand festival, called "Yulan Festival" and "Yulan Shenghui".

A festival that Chinese knows, how could Xie Jiuli not know?

Xie Jiuli nodded and said, "Of course I know this, isn't it Halloween?" They all say that the ghost gate will open on this day!" Saying this, Xie Jiuli's eyes widened suddenly, "Are you saying that today is Halloween?"

Then Xie Jiuli frowned, feeling that something was wrong. "Isn't the Midyear Festival after the Mid-Autumn Festival? We're all about to celebrate the New Year now, it's time for the Spring Festival, right?"

"It's true that the midyear festival is after August 15, but it's not the midyear festival that I'm trying to say. What I'm trying to say is - do you know that Hyakki walks at night?"

Xie Jiuli looked at him in shock, "Hundred ghosts walking at night?"

Wei Xiaoan also didn't believe it, does this kind of scene that only appears on TV in novels really exist in reality?

He nodded, it did exist. Hundred ghosts walk at night, formed spontaneously after the 100 days of the Midyear Festival. On this day, all kinds of ghosts appear in groups, like a grand gathering. In this kind of gathering, there must be no living human breath other than ghosts, otherwise they will be cruelly cursed and will not die well.

But what will they usher in when they appear here?

With a thought, the four of them were isolated from everything outside the room. He didn't know what was going on outside, and he hadn't seen a single goblin so far.

So I thought about it and watched what happened.

The noise around me grew louder and louder, and there were many more strange noises. He didn't know how many of these night ghosts there were, but he knew one thing - at least the leading ghosts, the strength of the ghosts must not be ignored.

"The Ghost Emperor once said that on this day when there are more than a hundred ghosts walking at night, all ghosts are not controlled by the underworld. Black and white impermanence is only responsible for recycling, not for the strangulation of all ghosts on the day of the Midyear Festival. Therefore, this day is a day when many ghosts can come to the world without scruples, and no one will care about what they do. So if my guess is correct, there must be a few of these goblins that are difficult to deal with. ”

After saying it in a deep voice, he paused, and then continued: "I directly hid our aura, so there is only one thing for us to do next. ”

Wei Xiaoan instantly understood, "What do you mean...... Shall we quietly follow them?"

"I think the only way out here is this." ”

However, this one is the most difficult road to walk, a road for a hundred ghosts to walk at night.

Unless they can turn into ghosts, they can only be carefully mixed in, so that these nocturnal ghosts do not know that there are four strangers who have broken in.

Of course, it is impossible to determine whether this world is really rude or not. But right now, he smelled danger with the instincts of an animal.

At this time, Mo Tutu's eyes also turned scarlet in the dark, as if covered with a thick layer of blood. Mo Tutu also felt an aura of oppression slowly approaching, and couldn't help but whisper: "It seems that something is approaching us." ”

Xie Jiuli quietly walked to the door and looked out through the gap in the door. In just an instant, Xie Jiuli was hit by shock.

Originally, the only light in this world was the dimness of the ground as if it had been covered with a flowing carpet. It beats lightly, like countless fireflies flying close to the ground.

Xie Jiuli thought that this was the only light left in this world.

However, it was as if an eye had suddenly grown in the sky, and the eye, which had been just a silhouette, suddenly opened, and the eyelid turned up, revealing a jewel-like yellow-green pupil. The yellow-green pupils suddenly dilated, and instantly retracted back to their original size. Just as Arimori's eyes retracted to their original shape, the heavens and the earth seemed to be illuminated by this yellow-green light.

Houses, streets, and the black oppression that could be seen from afar approached like a sweeping army.

The frightened Xie Jiuli quickly retracted his neck and closed the door tightly.

Mo Tutu didn't understand what he saw and was so scared, so he asked, "What did you see?"

Xie Jiuli retreated to Dao Qian's side, as if he would feel more at ease with everyone. Xie Jiuli looked at Wei Xiao'an in shock. "You don't know, I saw an eye! a yellow-green eye! That eye was supposed to be on it, and then suddenly, suddenly it opened! Didn't we see it all the night before? It's good that I can see even a brick and tile outside!"

Wei Xiaoan was also stunned when he heard this: "Isn't there no moon here?"

Xie Jiuli danced with his hands, "Those yellow-green eyes, I feel like they are the moon!

Does one eye open and light up the whole world?

He muttered in a deep voice, "Could it be that the ghost gate?"
