"Brother Sword Shadow, Brother Wang Shuang, you go slower, Xue'er can't keep up..."

A coquettish voice sounded, causing the two teenagers in front of them to stop.

Looking back at the aggrieved girl, the eyes of the two people who were full of exhaustion were full of helplessness.

At this time, the girl's white and tender skin was covered with dust and dirt, and the reddened circles under her eyes were even more pitying.

"Eh, Cher, you're like this every time, when you go out to play, you're alive, and when you come home, you cry out that you're tired. ”

"Woo woo, I'm really tired, Brother Wang Shuang, look, your feet are swollen..."

Hearing this, the girl hurriedly took off her little shoes, revealing her jade feet, which seemed to be as she said.

The slightly pursed mouth revealed a little disgust, and Wang Shuang, who was slowly returning, looked at Ling Xue with tears in his eyes and couldn't bear it, even though he was already very tired, he still pretended to squat down easily and bent down.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xue happily lay on Wang Shuang's back, the lotus root-like jade arm gently wrapped around the young man's neck, and the pitiful appearance just now disappeared in an instant, revealing a sly pink face, and a sweet smile also appeared.

On the side, Jian Ying, who was attentively observing the subtle expressions of the two, seized this moment and raised his eyebrows lightly and teased.

"Please hurry up, you two, if you can't enter the Hundred Ghost Forest before dark, we can only spend the night here today, if you can't wait to linger, please find a suitable place too." ”

Feeling the ill-intentioned gaze of the sword shadow, the two of them were speechless for a while, Ling Xue just tightened the arms around her neck a little tighter, and Wang Shuang walked forward quickly, wanting to relieve the embarrassment, but the blushing face had already silently revealed the shyness in the hearts of the two, and it looked quite warm in addition to being funny.

frowned, his face couldn't help but turn white, looking at the two people who were blushing and fleeing in panic, Jian Ying couldn't help but smile and pretended not to know, "Hey, why are you two red-faced, why do you have to go so fast..."

"Hey, you haven't answered me yet..."

"What, that's the sunset reflecting red!" The sword shadow chattering behind him, Wang Shuang, who couldn't bear it, stopped and turned around, and the two of them spoke in unison full of tacit understanding.

Hearing this, he was stunned, looking at the two of them who had such a tacit understanding, the slightly stunned sword shadow smiled and waved his hand.

"I didn't say anything, so why be so excited. With that, he trotted forward.

On the rugged mountain road, the sunset lengthens the backs of several people playing and playing, the breeze blows the branches and leaves, and the rustling sound brought by friction makes the moment more warm......

After some time, the three of them finally stopped in a dimly lit forest.

With a few faint rays of light, Jian Ying walked slowly to the entrance of the cave, and said in a slightly low voice, "Wang Shuang, let's rest in this cave today, and tomorrow when I walk out of the Hundred Ghost Forest, I can return to the village." ”

nodded approvingly, Wang Shuang then said with a bored face, "But Xue'er is asleep, I'm almost exhausted, I feel that she is a lot heavier..."

Facing Wang Shuang, who kept complaining, Jian Ying grinned in embarrassment, because he had long noticed that Ling Xue had been pretending to be asleep.

Sure enough, hearing Wang Shuang's dislike, Ling Xue suddenly opened her bright eyes, opened her mouth and bit him on the shoulder, as the anger in her eyes became more and more intense, the bite force continued to increase!

"Miss Ben is fat there, I'll bite you to death!"

A vicious expression appeared on his face, as if he had bitten really hard.

Forcibly enduring the pain, Wang Shuang, whose momentum was weakening, quickly begged for mercy, "Xue'er, I was wrong, I can't do it if I'm wrong..."

It seemed that the tone of the low voice was very useful, and Ling Xue was no longer angry.

I saw her lightly jump and land smoothly, looking at the small row of tooth marks, a little distressed and rubbed the place she had bitten just now, but she still stubbornly said, "Hmph, dare to say bad things about me in the future, see how I clean you up!"

While talking, he waved his little fist, and it looked really cute.

"Don't make a fuss, come in quickly, it's not very peaceful here. ”

I don't know if it was unintentional or intentional, the sword shadow ruined the good atmosphere that the two had brewed.

As if he had become accustomed to this, Wang Shuang didn't say much, just let Ling Xue behind him jump and press his shoulders.

The wind was raging, the rain was pouring down, and soon the heavens and the earth melted into darkness, and with the sting from afar, the sky was already filled with bursts of white light, so that the three people huddled in the cave couldn't help but think of the ancient stories that circulated in this area......

It is said that many years ago, this forest was called Bai Guilin, and there is a village hidden deep in the forest called Bai Gui Village.

Because the laurel trees here are snow-white, even the branches and leaves are snow-white, hence the name.

The villagers live a carefree life here, although they are not rich, but everyone is at ease.

But suddenly one day, a strangely dressed middle-aged man fainted at the entrance of the village, and the villagers who returned from chopping wood found him and took him back to the village for treatment.

When the man woke up, he explained with a frightened face, "I was a merchant from a different place, and I never thought that on the way to make a delivery, I would suddenly be attacked by a wild beast. ”

"In the course of the mercenary escorting the goods and the beast, I ran all the way here and was no longer conscious..."

"Please allow me to stay for a few days, and when I recover, I will definitely reward you very much!"

At first, the villagers did not agree to let outsiders move in, but after all, human nature is greedy, and after the man recovered from his injuries, he gave each person ten gold coins as a reward and temporarily lived in Baigui Village.

Afterwards, the villagers obeyed the man's wishes and carried all the luggage left behind on the way back to the village.

Looking at the dead mercenaries lying on the sidelines, the twisted wounds were terrifying, and the villagers dragged them into the forest and buried them with loess without thinking twice.

However, there are still some thoughtful villagers who know that there are no extremely aggressive beasts in this area, and judging by the wounds, they are certainly not the marks of being bitten or scratched.

However, in the face of the gold coins promised by the man, these doubts have long been buried by greed......

But this is just the beginning of a tragic tragedy.

At some point, it was rumored that the injured man's treasure chest contained unpredictable gold coins, and everyone's hearts burned with a terrible desire to get those gold coins to go to a more distant and prosperous capital, instead of cowering in a forest with no future and no hope.

Finally, on a stormy night, the villagers killed the merchant, then frantically pried open the treasure chest and picked up a lot of gold coins.

Looking at the blood-stained Jin Yao wealth in their hands, people's hideous faces showed a bone-deep smile, and this burst of laughter resounded in the sky for a long time!

But soon, this twisted joy was overshadowed by a heart-rending cry.

As if under some vicious curse, everyone in the village showed their scarlet pupils, wielding their scythes in their hands, taking the lives of others while picking up the gold coins scattered on the ground.

The painful wails and excited laughter continued for a day and two nights, and then gradually subsided, but the once indisputable Baigui Village no longer existed...

As if he clearly saw what happened to Baigui Village but was powerless to stop it, Cangtian, who was moved by this, couldn't help but shed tears of sadness.

The heavy rain lasted for three days and three nights, but it was difficult to wash away this bloody history of greed.

In the end, the laurel tree, which was once like a snow-white dream, also preserved this unforgettable nightmare forever.

Even the laurel tree, nourished by endless blood, gradually turned a charming blood red.

Every night after that, people who passed by here could still faintly hear the miserable wails coming from nowhere, and some of them were frightened by fear, so they ran aimlessly through the forest, and finally stayed in this once beautiful place.

As for those who escaped by chance, the news began to be released.

Gradually, people called it the Hyakki Forest, and it is said that there is a strange village in the forest, which is the residence of the unjust spirits, called Hyakki Village, and whenever night falls, they will come out to forage for food, and their food is living humans...

After collecting his thoughts, Jian Ying tore off the cloth bag hanging on his waist, "There is still some food here, and there is still a lot of water in the bamboo tube, after tonight, I should be able to return to the village tomorrow..."

At this point, Sword Shadow stood up, and then added, "I'll go outside to make some markings, tomorrow in case there is fog, we can follow the markers back, before that you two stay here, don't go out!"

A sudden passage interrupted Ling Xue and Wang Shuang's thoughts, and the two of them nodded solemnly.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Wang Shuang with a worried face and said, "It's going to be completely dark soon, so don't go..."

"It always feels weird outside, I don't know if you heard a strange sound just now, it's not ordinary thunder at all, is it?!"

Facing Wang Shuang, who was full of worry, Jian Ying sighed lightly, then squatted on the ground and slowly pressed his palm to the dry pyre.

Soon, a wisp of green smoke floated up, and the gray flames in the dry wood loomed......

The two, who had long been accustomed to this phenomenon, were not attracted to this phenomenon and continued to persuade them.

"Don't worry, I'll be back safely, after going out for so long, your family must be worried, after all, it's been three days later than expected..."

"Remember, don't leave here, just wait for me to come back!"

As soon as the sword shadow's commanding tone fell, it disappeared into the night.

"But..."

Looking at the figure that had disappeared from sight, Wushuang shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of worry.

At the same time, accompanied by a continuous stream of furious thunder, a red lightning bolt like a scarlet evil dragon streaked across the sky, merging its heaven and earth into one color.

It was too late, but it was too soon, and an earth-shattering bang exploded out of thin air, as if the sky was cracking, causing the earth to shake!

In the cave, Ling Xue's delicate body trembled, almost screaming and crying bitterly, at this time, she bit her lip lightly, and the corners of her eyes flashed with tears, which was very cute.

Seeing this, Wang Shuang hurriedly sat beside Ling Xue and patted her shoulder gently, his tone was very gentle.

"Don't be afraid of Cher, it's okay. ”

"Woo woo, is there really the evil spirits and ghosts that Daddy said here..."

As if she had found a life-saving straw, Ling Xue, who had buried her head deep in Wang Shuang's chest, had long since cried.

Hearing this, Wang Shuang pushed Ling Xue away from her chest and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't scare yourself stupid, it's just that the weather is a little worse today, look at what scares you, where did you run away from your previous rudeness and willfulness?"

"Hmph, you're so ruthless!"

Wang Shuang's teasing seemed to have played a role, Ling Xue temporarily suppressed her fear, changed to a more comfortable position and fell asleep.

Taking off his shirt and covering Ling Xue's body, Wang Shuang listened to the roar of the beast outside the cave, and the worry in his eyes was even worse, and he could only silently pray that the sword shadow would return safely.

Soon, a glimmer of light burned in the cave, and in the middle of the night, it seemed to dispel all uneasiness......
