There were no insects, no birds, no beasts, even the sound of the wind stopped, and the Baihuang Mountain was especially dead and silent at night.

After a day of running around in this lofty mountain, everyone could not hide their tiredness, so after eating dry food, most of them fell asleep, snoring one after another, breaking the dead silence and adding some vitality to Baihuang Mountain.

Zhang Xiaopaw was lying on the dry grass, although he had taken a tranquilizing pill given by Qi Yoyo, he still tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, because the inexplicable sense of panic had been haunting his heart, making him palpitate and panic from time to time, making it difficult for his tired spirit to relax and rest, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the bloody and terrifying scene at noon did not appear again, which made him feel a little relieved, thinking that it might be a hallucination.

However, he was too tired after all, coupled with the effect of the tranquilizing pill, and was lured by the slight snoring sound of Qi Yoyo sleeping not far away, a pair of heavy eyelids finally gradually closed, and as soon as the eyelids closed, he fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Zhang Xiaopaw suddenly woke up with palpitations, feeling as if he had been pressed by a mountain, making him unable to breathe. He snapped his eyes open, and there was a burst of fire, and smoke choked his mouth and nose, choking him with a violent cough and tears. He panicked and tried to get up, but to his horror he found that his body was imprisoned in some way, and he couldn't break free even if he tried his strength to feed.

Crackling –

The withered grass around him burned more and more, and the flames flew half a foot high, and it seemed that they were about to burn on him.

Zhang Xiaopaw wanted to shout for help, but the voice was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't shout no matter how he shouted.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke hit his face, blocking his mouth and nose, making it impossible for him to breathe, and then a half-foot high flame swept over him, engulfing him.

"Shh

"Don't make a sound, don't move!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaopaw's voice sounded in his ears, and he also heard some cluttered sounds, which seemed to come from a distance. At the same time, he felt that his mouth was being covered by something soft, so that he could not open his mouth. He snapped his eyes open, and it was pitch black, with no fire, no smoke.

In the dark, Qi Yoyo was leaning half of his body on his side, and his beautiful face was only half an arm's length away from his face, so close that he could clearly feel the tingling sensation of Qi Yoyo's mouth and nose panting hot air on his cheeks. And what covered his mouth was Qi Yoyo's soft little hands, which had a faint fragrance and smelled very good.

Zhang Xiaopaw looked at Qi Yoyo's beautiful face close to Chi Qi, his brain quickly regained consciousness, and he knew that the sea of smoke and fire should be a nightmare, but Qi Yoyo's solemn expression told him that something bad had happened.

"Are you awake?" Qi Yoyo saw Zhang Xiaopaw open his eyes, and immediately lowered his voice and asked. The solemn expression showed a touch of joy, as if Zhang Xiaopaw's awakening surprised her.

Zhang Xiaopaw wanted to answer, but his mouth was still blocked by Qi Yoyo's little hand, so he had to give Qi Yoyo a positive look, and at the same time hummed softly.

"Shhh No matter what you see, you must calm down. ”

Zhang Xiaopaw hummed again, and Qi Yoyo let go of his mouth and withdrew his hand.

Zhang Xiaopaw turned over lightly, supported his upper body with his arms on the ground, looked around first, and found that his body was no longer where he had slept before, but on the higher side of the valley, he and Qi Yoyo were prostrate behind a piece of bluestone.

He raised his head and followed Qi Yoyo's gaze to look into the valley, and he couldn't help but be stunned at this look.

There is no moon in the sky, and the valley under the night is dark, but fortunately, the stars are shining in the sky, and there is a faint starlight sprinkled down, Zhang Xiaopai has excellent eyesight, and he can see clearly with the faint starlight.

I saw a busy scene in the valley, everyone was working hard to fiddle with a pile of firewood and dead grass in front of them, some people used dry wood and dry grass to make the shape of a large silver ingot, some people built a chair shape, some people made a wooden figure, and some people even put out a big knife, a courtyard, a large cauldron - all kinds of shapes.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was stiff and sluggish, and their eyes were blank and unfocused, as if they were sleepwalking with their eyes open, and there was weirdness everywhere, Zhang Xiaopaw would definitely high-five him and praise their craftsmanship.

"What's wrong with them?" Zhang Xiaoshu couldn't help but feel a cool breath rise up his spine, and asked Qi Yoyo in a low voice.

Qi Yoyo responded: "They were caught in the ghost fog obstacle, and they were confused by ghosts. It's a good thing I woke up just in time to escape with you when the ghost fog rushed in, otherwise we would be like them now. ”

When Zhang Xiaopaw heard this, a frightened expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked anxiously, "How to save them?!"

"Depending on the situation, there should be no need to help. Qi Yoyo frowned slightly, seeing Zhang Xiaopaw's confused gaze, she explained: "You see, each of them has a natural demeanor, and there is no excesses, or painful reactions, presumably it is not the evil ghosts that confuse them, as long as they wait until the rooster cries and the ghosts leave, they will wake up." ”

"What if it's an evil ghost?" Zhang Xiaopu didn't dare to be careless.

"Can you exorcise ghosts?" Qi Yoyo asked.

"No, it won't. Zhang Xiaopaw said.

"That's it. Qi Yoyo rolled her eyes and said, "Just be patient, at least for now, the ghosts haven't made any moves to hurt them." If you rush out, if you anger the ghosts, you will harm them. ”

"Hmm. Zhang Xiaopaw nodded, feeling that Qi Yoyo made sense.

"Anyway, you really slept to death, I covered your mouth and nose for a long time to wake you up. Qi Yoyo said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"——" Zhang Xiaopaw suddenly understood why he had the nightmare of choking on thick smoke and couldn't breathe, it turned out to be due to this aunt. He turned his head to look at the good-looking corners of Qi Yoyo's mouth, and almost couldn't resist a punch in front of her, but thinking that a punch was very likely to be devastating to Qi Yoyo, he could only sigh depressedly.

"What are they doing here?" Zhang Xiaopaw looked back in the valley, scanning the things that everyone had piled up with firewood and dry grass, and asked Qi Yoyo beside him curiously.

"The things they fiddle with should be the most important thing in their hearts. Qi Yoyo guessed, "Look at Zhao Quan, he is a battle maniac, so he came out with a big knife." The one over there was a money fan, so he put a gold ingot. The one who talked about his achievements all day long, he put out a chair that symbolized power. There is also that one, before going to bed, he was still praising his colleagues about how virtuous his daughter-in-law was, so the person he posed should be his daughter-in-law. ”

Zhang Xiaopaw nodded suddenly in realization, and found Niu Dawa in the crowd, he occupied a large position, and used a large amount of firewood to build a tall tree. Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but have a sour nose, he knew that it was an old willow tree.

Whew-

Suddenly, the wind rose in the valley, blowing the dead grass and falling leaves, making a whining sound.

Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but shudder, feeling that the air temperature had dropped a lot, and the whining wind was harsh, he felt that it was not really the sound of the wind, but the cry of ghosts. He couldn't help but feel scared and didn't want to listen, but the sound was hard in his ears.

"The yin qi suddenly increased so much, it didn't seem right. Qi Yoyo felt the biting yin wind, and had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked Zhang Xiaopaw: "Can your subtle state of mind cover the past?" If you can, you might as well try to see the ghost that confuses them, and see what this ghost wants to do to them." ”

Gollum –

Zhang Xiaopu suddenly swallowed his saliva vigorously, and his voice was so loud that he attracted Qi Yoyo's gaze and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

In fact, as soon as his eyes fell on Zhang Xiaopu's face, Qi Yoyo knew that Zhang Xiaopu had a problem, because his face was bloodless at some point, and the cold sweat of Dou Da was sliding down his forehead, and his face and eyes were full of frightened looks.

"If—if you can see it, what should you do with them?" asked Zhang Xiaopu, his voice a little hoarse, and the corner of his eye was uncontrollably aimed behind Qi Yoyo.

Qi Yoyo's face was as white as paper, and the hairs on his body stood on end, like an old cat whose tail had been stepped on. At this moment, fear took possession of her heart. Because of the change in Zhang Xiaopaw's expression, the questions asked, and the direction he was looking in the corner of his eye, he clearly told her that Zhang Xiaopaw had seen a ghost thing, and this ghost thing was behind her.
