Walking out of the tower, Yang Bo said to Qi Lu: "Oh, look at my memory. My father asked me to tell you that tomorrow is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and the village will hold an ancestor worship ceremony, and I will hand over the key return procedures with you at that time. ”

Want the key so soon? Qi Lu was suddenly shocked, he hadn't thought of a way to deal with it yet!

However, on the surface, Qi Lu didn't show any nervous expression, but said with a smile on his face: "Okay, Xiao Yang go slowly." ”

Seeing Yang Bo's figure walking farther and farther, Qi Lu frowned, he stretched out his fingers and pinched his fingers, and couldn't help scolding, "What a bullshit zodiac auspicious day, it's obviously the day of the defeat of Wuli." ”

In Feng Shui, it is most taboo to get married on the fifth day of departure. That's why there is a very ominous saying that the heaven and earth are separated, the sun and the moon are separated, the people are separated, and the Han River is separated.

Ding Xiaolan said: "It seems that they are in a hurry to get your box. ”

A fishy wind blew, Qi Lu stopped, and his eyebrows wrinkled into pimples.

"Is there something wrong?" Ding Xiaolan also noticed that the wind was blowing very strangely.

"I seem to smell something." Qi Lu walked in the direction of the wind, and after walking a hundred meters, he stopped in the middle of the crossroads.

"Help!" An intermittent sound came into Qi Lu's ears, although the sound was very slight, Qi Lu heard it clearly.

"Do you hear someone shouting for help?"

"No, it's just the two of us here, who else will talk?" Ding Xiaolan didn't hear anything.

"I know what's going on." Qi Lu's expression became grim, and he asked Ding Xiaolan, "Do you know what kind of wind the wind was blowing just now?" ”

"I don't know, I'm not a meteorologist."

"This is a ghost wind, and if it can blow this wind during the day, it means that this person died very unjustly, so the resentment is so heavy that the yang energy in the daytime cannot be resolved."

"You mean there's a ghost next to us?" Ding Xiaolan was shocked when she heard Qi Lu's words, and her face changed greatly.

"It's unlikely, but it's possible that it might be hiding in some dark corner to peek at us."

"Then let's find it and destroy it."

"There's no need for that just yet." Qi Lu was very relaxed when he said this, not because his heart had become good, but because he didn't want to cause trouble.

Now his mana is far less than it was at the beginning, of course, it is better to have more than one thing, as long as this ghost thing does not interfere with him, Qi Lu is naturally unwilling to take the initiative to provoke him.

The strange wind stopped suddenly, and Qi Lu was suddenly a little depressed. He wanted to follow the wind to find the source and find out what was going on. But now that there is no wind, he has lost his discernment.

Suddenly a thick yin qi came from the left side of his body, Qi Lu hurriedly turned his head to look, and was about to give this powerful ghost a spirit talisman for free, and beat it away, but his hand holding the talisman stopped stiffly.

Ding Xiaolan also noticed the vision, and behind a dead tree more than ten meters away from them, a figure poked its head out.

He has white hair and white eyebrows, but there is not even a single wrinkle on his face, and it is impossible to tell his real age.

The strangest thing was his eyes, which were narrow and long, and they were completely white, condensed like ice and snow.

No wonder you can come out during the day to make trouble, it turns out that you use the shade of trees to hide from the sun. But this is also a big risk, why did this ghost come to the door, Qi Lu had a hunch in his heart that he seemed to want to ask himself for help.

"Ghost!" Ding Xiaolan didn't have such a mind as Qi Lu, after she screamed, her little hand was turned into a magic trick, and her mouth began to recite the exorcism spell that Lao Wu taught her.

"Beauty, don't hurt him!" Qi Lu hurriedly stopped her actions.

"Do you want to spare him?"

"It's not." Qi Lu motioned to Ding Xiaolan to take a closer look at the ghost, "He has no malice, as if he is showing us the way." ”

Ding Xiaolan calmed down and looked towards the place where the ghost stood.

Under the shade of the gloomy trees, the ghost's face blurred, as if it was sad and angry, as if it was Qi Ran, and the expression on his face was very complicated. But his hand kept pointing in front of them.

Qi Lu asked loudly at the ghost, "Do you want us to go in the direction you pointed?" ”

The ghost nodded silently, bowed deeply to them, and disappeared into the ground.

"Maybe the ghost wants us to vindicate him."

After speaking, Qi Lu walked towards the path pointed by the ghost's hand, but Ding Xiaolan stopped him.

"If you're afraid of ghosts, go home and wait for me."

"It's not that I'm afraid of ghosts, Yang Bo said that there are a lot of traps buried on this road, and I'm afraid I'll step on it later."

"That's okay, my eyes are very good, and I can still identify ordinary traps."

Ding Xiaolan saw that he insisted on going, and he didn't want to say anything, so he had to follow him closely, but the two of them had already held the spirit rune in their hands to prevent accidents.

After walking another hundred meters, Qi Lu stopped again and looked at the green grass on the right.

This is a green meadow, but there is a round pit about two meters in diameter about ten meters in front of it, and there is no grass, as if it has been dug recently.

"This is it." Qi Lu walked to this dirt pit, tentatively stepped on the soil in the pit with his foot, and found that it should have been covered with grass originally, but it was only later that someone dug a pit and backfilled it with soil, which seemed incompatible with the surrounding environment. Judging by the softness of the soil, the pit should have been formed no more than a month.

Qi Lu hesitated slightly, then motioned for Ding Xiaolan to stand aside, he bent down and stretched out his hand to pick up the soft soil.

After a few strokes, Qi Lu felt something underneath, and he pulled it up with his hand, and a wooden stick stretched out of the ground. Qi Lu continued to pull hard, but found that he couldn't pull it out.

It can't be pulled, there must be something holding it in place underneath. Thinking of this, Qi Lu became excited, and began to dig up the black dirt around the wooden stick again.

As the dirt was dug more and more, the truth gradually unfolded before his eyes. Qi Lu now understood why he couldn't pull out the stick, because there was a hand in the ground holding it tightly. It was a dead man's hand, and the flesh on his fingers had begun to rot, and in some places his finger bones were exposed.

With a "wow", Qi Lu ran to the root of the tree next to him and vomited.

"Are you alright?" Ding Xiaolan asked in a trembling voice, in fact, she was also very scared in her heart.

"It's fine." Qi Lu took the tissue Ding Xiaolan gave him and wiped the stains on his mouth, and took a few breaths before saying to her, "You stand farther away." ”

Qi Lu was relieved, and the courage that he didn't know inspired him to walk back to the edge of the pit, holding the dead man's hand with both hands, and pulling it out violently with the strength of milk, and actually pulled the entire corpse out of the pit.

"Ahh Ding Xiaolan was so frightened that she blindfolded her eyes with her hands, not daring to look at this terrifying scene.

The deceased was a woman in her forties, and judging from the extent of the body's decomposition, Qi Lu estimated that she had been dead for about five days, and the wooden stick she held in her hand was a rolling pin.

"Look at her legs, her legs!" Ding Xiaolan exclaimed again.

The dead woman was missing a right leg, and Qi Lu had already noticed this phenomenon.

"The leg must have been eaten by Yang Bo! It was last night! Ding Xiaolan screamed again and again.

Qi Lu was silent, but he also had to admit that Ding Xiaolan's words had some truth, not imagination.

Judging from the clothes of the deceased, it is very imaginary to imagine the clothes of the village chief's wife, and it is likely that she is from Guta Village. But these were not what shocked Qi Lu, what surprised him was that the deceased's seven orifices were covered in blood, and judging from the time of death, except for Sailei, the death time of the other five dead people encountered along the road was about the same as the day the woman died.

A maggot crawled out of the woman's mouth and then through her rotting nose back into the corpse. Qi Lu didn't want to see this disgusting scene again, he just turned his head to the side, and found an even more terrifying scene, that is, human hands and human legs were exposed in the pit, which showed that there were other dead people buried in the pit.

In the flash of light, Qi Lu suddenly realized something, he pulled up the woman's body, threw it back into the pit, and hurriedly backfilled the soil back into it.

After doing all this, Qi Lu didn't care about the mud on his hands, and pulled Ding Xiaolan to run back without saying a word.

Back at home, Qi Lu washed his hands breathlessly, turned around and went back to the room to pack up his things, and said to Ding Xiaolan, who was standing aside, "Let's go quickly and leave this ghost place." ”

"Leaving now?" Although Ding Xiaolan was too frightened and wished to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, she also felt that it was too sudden.

"If you don't leave, it's a pig, think about it, there's nothing in the box, what key will I give to Yang Yi tomorrow? When the time comes, if they don't pick my skin, it's polite. Qi Lu picked up his bag, took the jewelry box in his hand, and walked towards the door without hesitation.

"Wait a minute, I haven't washed my hands yet!"

"Let's go!"

It was now the lunch break, and they didn't meet any villagers along the way, and Qi Lu and the two walked out of the village smoothly.

Seeing that the village was getting farther and farther away from his sight, Qi Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he found that this escape was not as smooth as he imagined.

A white fog drifted down the road, so thick that he couldn't see the outline of an object a few meters away.

"It's strange, it's daylight and afternoon, how can there be fog?" Ding Xiaolan also found that things were not good.

"It doesn't matter so much, let's move on." Qi Lu took out a flashlight from his bag and also took out the pistol that Sai Lei gave him. The flashlight had been re-recharged in the village, and he was not afraid of the unfortunate event of a power outage.

Qi Lu held Ding Xiaolan with one hand, and turned on the flashlight with the other hand to shine ahead. As he walked, he seemed to feel like he was walking a fork in the road, surrounded by half-man-tall weeds.

I don't know how long I walked, but the fog gradually cleared, and the sunlight scattered its beams back on the land.

But Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan didn't have a happy expression, because they found that they were in a world of flowers and poppies.

Ding Xiaolan said: "I went the wrong way, and I went to the poppy field. ”

Qi Lu said with a calm face: "No, this is the phantom soul array that the demon has set up for us. ”

Ding Xiaolan heard the words and saw that this poppy field was boundless, it connected the heaven and the earth, front and back, left and right, all of them were poppy worlds, and there was no trace of the road, let alone other pedestrians, only poppy leaves swaying in the wind in the sun. Only then did she know that Qi Lu's words were not wrong at all, and the poppy fields in Guta Village did not have such a large area at all.
