Stopping, Xu Yi squinted his eyes, stared at the mountain village in the distance, thought about it, and added the remaining few attribute points to his spirit and strength.

Xu Yi

Strength: 7

Speed: 5

Constitution: 5

Spirit: 7

Essence Points: 0

Suddenly, a sense of clarity and satisfaction appeared in Xu Yi's heart. The sense of clarity is due to the strength of the spirit, which can resist the inducement of the current external environment and allow oneself to have a clear mind to face the strange events that have occurred.

And the sense of satisfaction is also the strength of the power, which allows Xu Yi to have the ability to protect himself and make him feel safe.

"If you're as powerful as last time, do you care so much? Destroying this mountain village directly is over, and not being strong enough is really troublesome. ”

Xu Yi said in his heart. Continue along the trail in the direction of the mountain village.

Just as he was about to walk to the mountain village, Xu Yi felt a chill behind him, and without hesitation, he inhaled and exhaled, turned around and punched out, and the powerful force on the fist roared through, bombarding the air, making a thumping sound.

However, to Xu Yi's surprise, there was nothing behind him.

"What's that? Is it a ghost? ”

Xu Yi scanned the path behind him with a cold gaze, but found nothing. He didn't notice that on his back, there was a female ghost wearing a plain white filial piety dress with a blurred face.

This female ghost was lying on his back, opening her big mouth, and constantly absorbing the essence that leaked from the top of his head.

Xu Yi just felt that there was something strange about him, but he had no way of knowing what was going on, after all, ghosts were not something that could be seen by the ordinary naked eye. And with his strength and spirit now twice that of ordinary people, the loss of that little bit of essence in his body is really negligible.

After all, as long as a person is alive, he will continue to lose his essence, and unless his cultivation reaches a certain level and he has refined his golden body, he can curb the loss of essence.

After searching for no avail, Xu Yi had no choice but to step into the mountain village. In the mountain village, only thirteen houses have faint lights.

"Tuk Tuk ...... Is anyone there, please? ”

Xu Yi knocked on the door of the first house.

"Who?"

After a while, a hoarse old voice came from inside.

"Squeak......

The old wooden door opened with a tooth-sour sound, and an old man with a pale face walked out with an oil lamp. Under the thin light of the oil lamp, at first glance, the old man's wrinkled face looked very hideous and gloomy, and those who didn't know thought it was an evil ghost.

"Uncle, I got lost in this mountain, seeing that the night is dark, I am afraid that it will not be safe if I hurry again, I don't know if I can spend the night at your house."

Xu Yi arched his hand and said sincerely.

A stiff smile appeared on the old man's pale face, and his eyes stared at Xu Yi in some surprise, as if Xu Yi's appearance here was a very surprising thing.

"Housheng, you are so bold, you dare to wander outside here at such a late hour."

After a long time, the old man grinned and opened his mouth, revealing the mutilated teeth and scarlet gums. The wrinkles on the face are squeezed together in layers, forming dark lines with miserable whiteness, giving people an indescribable sense of weirdness.

"Alas, these days, there is no way, life is forced, don't say it."

As if he hadn't noticed the old man's abnormality, Xu Yi shook his head and said with emotion. That look is like a bitter person running around for life.

After listening to Xu Yi's words, the old man seemed to have a deep understanding, the wrinkles on his face deepened a lot, and he said with emotion: "That's really not easy, Housheng, come in." ”

"Then thank you, uncle."

Xu Yi arched his hand, followed behind the rickety old man who was carrying an oil lamp, and walked into the gloomy mud room.

As soon as he walked into the mud room, Xu Yi couldn't help frowning, and a strong smell of blood and a putrid smell of corpses filled the entire room space.

As if sensing Xu Yi's abnormal reaction, the old man paused, turned around with his hunched body, and showed a sad look on his wrinkled face. Said

"Housheng, do you smell something? Wondering? ”

Xu Yi was stunned, he didn't expect this old man to be so direct, shouldn't the normal plot be concealed in every possible way and shirked? After hesitating, Xu Yi nodded honestly and unpretentiously, and said,

"Well, for some reason, why does this house smell of blood? Is there anything you want to tell me? ”

"All this, I have to start from half a month ago, the next life, you come with me."

The old man turned and walked to a dilapidated mud room on the right, and sighed faintly.

"Our village, called Yunxi Village, is located deep in the mountains, and it is almost a place isolated from the outside world. The young people in the village are naturally not used to this kind of place, so most of them work outside and only come back once a year and a half. ”

"Half a month ago, the old Liu family's baby who had been working outside for many years finally came back, and brought a young and beautiful daughter-in-law back."

The old man said, pushed open the door, behind Xu Yi, the female ghost heard the old man talk about the old Liu family, her face became hideous, and her blood-red and resentful eyes were full of unforgettable hatred. A cold ghostly aura instantly filled the entire room.

But Xu Yi just felt that the air around him seemed to become cold, and an alarm suddenly appeared in his heart inexplicably, and nothing else happened.

Suddenly, the old man turned his head and opened his mouth full of broken teeth, facing Xu Yi, and seemed to be facing the female ghost with a resentful face behind Xu Yi, and smiled faintly,

"That girl is really beautiful, my husband and I have never seen such a beautiful little girl at such an age, I really envy the old Liu family."

Then the old man sighed again,

"It's a pity that girl, beautiful is beautiful, and people are kind, but she just doesn't listen to people's persuasion. We told her that there is a tradition in the village that you must not go out when it is dark, otherwise you will be caught and eaten by the monsters of the mountains and forests. But the little girl didn't believe it, and if we had to say that we were feudal and superstitious, just ten days ago, that is, on the fifth day of the girl's visit to our village, she couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, and ran out in the middle of the night, and this time, the person never came back. ”

"What does the old man mean, there are still some mountain and forest monsters on this mountain? That little girl didn't listen to the persuasion, ran out in the middle of the night, and was caught and eaten? ”

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows and asked in some surprise.

"Yes."

The old man turned and hid his face in the darkness, as if to hide something, and the hoarse voice of the old man resounded throughout the dark room.

"I don't know what happened, after the girl was captured and eaten by the ghosts. Seven days later, a series of strange things began to happen in our village. ”

The old man placed the oil lamp in a corner of the house and tossed the wick to brighten the dim light.

"In the past half a month in our village, it is simply difficult to sleep and eat, and in desperation, we can only kill chickens and sheep, sacrifice to our ancestors, and hope to be blessed by our ancestors."

The old man fiddled with the oil lamp, turned around, and said with a smile on his old face,

"Maybe it's really the blessing of the ancestors, it's true that there have been a lot of lives in the past few days."

Xu Yi showed a thoughtful look on his face, and he didn't casually open his mouth to tell the old man what he thought.

The old man pointed to a wooden bed on the side and said to Xu Yi,

"Tonight, you will go down here, the home is simple, I hope you will not dislike it in the future."

Looking at the quilt covered with patches, which seemed to be covered with a thick layer of dust, Xu Yi didn't say much, in the face of this strange world, he needed some time to think about ways to break the game.

"My husband can give me a place to live, I am very grateful, how can I dislike it, thank you to my father."

Xu Yi said.

"It's good not to dislike it, it's good not to dislike it."

The old man said with a smile, and after speaking, he turned around and walked to the door, and Xu Yimu sent him out of the door slowly.

Suddenly, the old man's body was stunned, and he had just walked out of the door, and half of his body slowly turned around, and his old face seemed extremely calm under the orange light, as calm and silent as a dead man.

He opened his mouth with mutilated teeth, and the sound reached Xu Yi's ears in a long and hollow way.

"Housheng, it's dark, don't go out!"

Xu Yi was immersed in thinking, and when he saw the old man's demeanor at this time, he couldn't help but jump in his heart, as if he had grasped something.

I just wanted to ask the old man, but I found that the old man had disappeared at the door when he was stunned.

"It's kind of interesting, but it's not entirely sure if this is a world of puzzles or ghosts. However, looking at the current situation, the world of ghosts is a little more likely. ”

As soon as he entered this world, Xu Yi had a guess in his heart that this world seemed to be different from the previous world, and there were obviously inhuman things, so as soon as he entered, he immediately allocated the essence points to strength and spirit, just to be able to resist these things.
