Night came especially quickly in this village, and soon the whole village was covered in darkness, and the cold moonlight still did not illuminate this silent land, and the absence of any living creatures made the village even more gloomy and desolate.

Even though Shan Xiaoxiao was worried and nervous, she still couldn't withstand the fatigue caused by the long journey, she sat on the stool, lay on the table, and fell asleep quietly. Lu Yuanjun didn't feel sleepy, he was absorbing spiritual power and adjusting his cultivation of the Yin God, while vigilantly detecting any movements around him.

I don't know how long it has been, the dark clouds in the night sky are thick and inky, covering the moon for a while, and a cool breeze blows into the house, Lu Yuanjun opened his eyes, stood up, and draped the windbreaker on Shan Xiaoxiao's body. Suddenly, Lu Yuanjun's body was stunned, and he raised his head vigilantly, as if he heard something ringing outside the house.

The movement was not big, it seemed that there was still a certain distance from here, but the safest way was to let Shan Xiaoxiao wake up, Lu Yuanjun patted Shan Xiaoxiao, Shan Xiaoxiao woke up, and was about to say something, but Lu Yuanjun made a silent gesture and signaled her not to speak.

Shan Xiaoxiao stood up and heard a noise outside the house.

"Jingle bell bell—"

"Jingle Bell Bell Ring—"

"Jingle bell—"

Is it a bell?

On such a dark and windy night, how can the sound of bells suddenly appear in a village with no human figures? Shan Xiaoxiao felt a little scared, and goosebumps were raised, but Lu Yuanjun felt extremely relieved when he was by her side.

Lu Yuanjun grabbed a small hand and slowly paced towards the outside of the house, at this time he was also very strange, why couldn't he feel any spiritual power? Could it be ..... Is it just a trickster?

Whether it is a person or a ghost, the appearance at this time must have something to do with the disappearance of the people in the village. Lu Yuanjun thought about it, gently pushed open the door, and walked out with Shan Xiaoxiao.

The temperature outside the house was very low, so cold that Shan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shiver, Lu Yuanjun didn't have any reaction, he stared cautiously ahead, there was no light at night, the vision was not good, and he couldn't perceive spiritual power, Lu Yuanjun was still a little worried in his heart.

Following the sound of the bell, Lu Yuanjun and Shan Xiaoxiao walked along the winding village road, fast and slow, and went around to the back of the village. Behind the village was a grove of trees, and there was a miasma in the woods, and there was no way to see the road, but the sound of the bell came from the woods.

Lu Yuanjun and Shan Xiaoxiao looked at each other for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Is that forest big?" ”

Shan Xiaoxiao shook his head, "It's not that big, when I was a child, I usually wore it from this side when I went to the next village." ”

"Is it usually foggy here?"

"Forgot ....." Shan Xiaoxiao stared at the woods with a solemn expression, "Anyway, I don't feel right." ”

"Let's go." Lu Yuanjun pulled Shan Xiaoxiao and walked towards the woods, and unconsciously, the steps of the two of them became faster and faster.

As soon as he entered the woods, he could feel a burst of dampness and coldness, Lu Yuanjun grasped the small hand tighter, and the two of them kept looking around, while following the sound of the bell. The bell seemed to be moving, too, and it sounded like it was heading to the other side of the woods. In addition, Lu Yuanjun faintly heard the sound of "knock-knock-knock".

It sounded like a crowd of people were beating together.

Lu Yuanjun and Shan Xiaoxiao chased for a few more minutes, and a figure suddenly appeared in the fog in front of them. The two of them quickly slowed down their pace, and then, Lu Yuanjun pulled Shan Xiaoxiao from the side and spared him.

Just when they were detouring from the side, Lu Yuanjun and Shan Xiaoxiao were surprised to find that there was more than one person in this wood!

In front of that person, there was another person, and further on, there was another person..... One by one, Lu Yuanjun didn't count them, and could only estimate nearly dozens of people. They were all in a long line, their hands stretched straight forward, all jumping forward in a neat row, and the sound of "knock-knock-knock-knock" was exactly what they came from.

The two people at the front and back of the long line did not stretch out their hands and jumped, and the one at the end seemed to be dressed in green clothes and wearing a white hat, tied with a long black belt, and kept waving a lot of pieces of paper as he walked. The person at the head was also in a white hat and a black belt, shaking a bell in one hand and jingling.

As for the ones in the middle, they were all draped in black cloths and wore black hats, and on their faces seemed to have a yellow talisman attached to them.

For a while, the wind was miserable, and the scene in front of him was extremely weird.

After the observation, Shan Xiaoxiao gently tugged Lu Yuanjun, "I know what they are doing, I saw it when I was a child." ”

Lu Yuanjun looked at Shan Xiaoxiao with a confused expression, waiting for her to continue.

"When I was a child, old people used to say that you should avoid corpse chasers when walking. They lead the dead to walk and let the corpses return to their hometowns, which is called shouting at the dead and returning to the roots. Shan Xiao paused and continued, "The corpse chasers have a high status, and they are also very mysterious, when they drive out corpses, most people must avoid them, otherwise yin and yang will clash with each other, the dead will lose their souls, and the living will be seriously ill." ”

Lu Yuanjun nodded, "I've heard of it before, but after becoming a spirit sealer, I really haven't encountered it..... No, how can a dead person have a soul? ”

"I don't know, the old man said that....." Shan Xiaoxiao replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

"That's what it means, anyway..... The ones in the middle aren't alive, aren't they? I'm going to take a look, there shouldn't be any yin and yang, right? ”

Lu Yuanjun thought about it, walked straight over, and directly blocked the person who led the bell ringing. Shan Xiaoxiao hid aside and looked at it secretly.

The long line stopped, and the leader lowered the bell, staring carefully at the guy who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"The corpse and soul are in a hurry, and the living avoid ——!" The man shouted.

Lu Yuanjun didn't move, didn't speak, just stood still, and that person was a little hairy.

"The corpse and soul are in a hurry, and the living avoid ——!" The man shouted again.

Seeing that the black shadow in front of him was indifferent, the leader squatted down, as if he had put down something, and then, a white shining knife appeared from his waist, but Lu Yuanjun tilted his head indifferently, and the man ran over with the knife.

Before he could make any other moves, he only heard the man's scream, and the person behind him also hurriedly ran over, only to see Lu Yuanjun grabbing the leader's arm with one hand, and the man knelt on the ground with a painful face, and the knife also fell on the ground on the side, looking like his hand was twisted.

"Can you be polite? Shouting two sentences and going to come up and stab someone? Lu Yuanjun rolled his eyes angrily.

"Ah——!h

At the back of the line, a small scream suddenly came out.

"What's wrong?!" Lu Yuanjun hurriedly asked, and ran over anxiously.

Shan Xiaoxiao didn't respond, she took advantage of the people behind to run to the front, and secretly went to the front of the corpse line, wanting to see the corpse's face clearly. However, when she got closer, she saw that under the two yellow talismans, it was her father and mother!

Shan Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and her brain was blank for a while, and when Lu Yuanjun arrived, she had already fainted on the ground.
