At the same time, in a dark and damp basement somewhere in Yuanyang City, an unusual scene was revealed.

The floor and walls were smeared with a layer of blood, and they were red. It is lit with hundreds of white candles of varying lengths and short layers.

The candles are intertwined, as if there is a flickering light, but there is no warmth, but there is an inexplicable extra coldness.

In the middle of this room, in the vacant space was an old table of eight immortals, on which was covered with a yellow cloth stained with blood. On the yellow cloth, you can vaguely see that a piece of the Five Elements Bagua Array has been smeared with unknown blood, but it is already blurry, and it has been quite a few years.

There are three kinds of offerings on the table in order, two plates of half-cooked or even nearly rotten roast chicken, the head of the chicken has not gone, but it is lifelike, the eyes seem to be blinking, at first glance it seems to be still alive, it looks grotesque and weird. On the far right is a basin of dark black viscous blood, emitting a strong fishy smell.

After the sacrifice, three crooked incense candles were lined up on the platform, but the statue to worship was a blue-faced fang, three-headed and six-armed, like a living demon!

There was a man in a Taoist robe sitting on the ground in front of the table, closing his eyes and concentrating, holding one hand on his chest to make a hand, and the other hand was dipped in blood and drawing inexplicable symbols on the ground, and there were words in his mouth, which was the person Du Bai had seen on the street before.

But suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, but he saw only the gloomy whites of his eyes without pupils.

Immediately, a faint yin aura began to swirl around him, and gradually spread, but the strange candle flame kept shaking in the entire basement that should be airtight, and the shadows of various ghosts with teeth and claws constantly flashed on the gray-brown walls.

In an instant, the Taoist priest spat out a mouthful of dirty blood, his face twitched violently, his eyes were slightly bulging and then returned to their original state, and his pupils also reappeared, but he still seemed to be slightly distracted.

At this time, all the surrounding fire candles had been extinguished, and only the ghostly statue in front of him emitted a faint demonic red light, reflecting the sacrifice in front of him.

"That Su family...... There are high-ranking people. The Taoist priest wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve robe, and his face was gloomy.

If he hadn't made a quick decision, I'm afraid he would have really been discovered by the other party.

It's a pity that the evil ghost he cultivated with the soul of his own son was damaged by his hands, and even he suffered a violent backlash.

"Damn it!"

In the silence of the basement, the wheezing of pain became more and more intense, and the scarlet red in his pupils became more and more vigorous, flickering slightly as if echoing the statue.

The statue's face gradually distorted in the red light, and the already strange smile became more and more distorted and hideous, as if it was slowly coming to life.

In the house on the ground, two servants of the Liu Mansion were waiting patiently with lanterns, but the decreasing temperature around them made them tighten their clothes and shrink their bodies.

If it weren't for their livelihood, they wouldn't want to come to such a remote place in the middle of the night with this rather evil Dao Chang. Not to mention that the other party is said to be using evil magic, the kind that wants to kill people.

Just listening to it made them scared, and they couldn't take a step on either leg.

"When I go back this time, I will go back to my hometown after receiving the reward, but I don't want to stay in this Liu Mansion anymore."

One of the servants lowered his voice for fear of being heard, and muttered with a bitter face.

The person next to him also trembled uncomfortably, frowned and said, "Yes, have you noticed, since this Dao chief came, the people in the house have become weird." A few days ago, when Brother Zhao was patrolling at night, he heard the crying of children in the yard......"

"You see, I was seriously ill and sent to the hospital early yesterday morning. It is said that he was sucked by a ghost......"

At that moment, there was a knock on the small door to the basement, which frightened both of them from talking and looked over.

One of them slowly walked over and leaned against the wall, and asked in a low voice, "Dao Chief, what do you command?" ”

I couldn't hear a response for a long time.

When I was feeling strange, there was a thin grinding sound behind the small door, as if someone was scratching the crack with his fingernails in the back.

The servant subconsciously took two steps back, but at the moment he stepped back, the small door quickly opened a space that could only allow one person to pass through, and a pair of arms full of blood that had lost their skin and flesh quickly stretched out and grabbed him, and before he could scream, he had already been caught inside.

No more sound.

Seeing this horrific scene, the remaining servant immediately collapsed to the ground with weak hands and feet, and despite the fact that the fallen lantern collided on the ground and gradually ignited, he was frightened and tried to escape from this ghost place.

But he scratched the ground for a long time and did not move, and when he looked back in despair, he found that a pair of wet hands behind him had grabbed his ankle at some point.

The sheer force dragged him back.

After a creepy chewing sound, a hoarse low roar echoed in this space: "What I have lost, you all have to compensate me!" ”

*********

The next morning, Du Bai didn't know much about the mess, and he just wanted to quickly fill his grunting stomach that had been overconsumed last night. So he didn't wait for Ying'er to call him early in the morning, so he went to the kitchen to get the pot and charcoal, as well as some condiments, and planned to stew the lo-mei with one hand.

But just as he was humming a little song and waiting for the delicacy, he suddenly saw the lovely little Ying'er walking from the other garden, looking puzzled, and after seeing the beautiful Du Bai, his face was happy, and he wanted to trot and remember the lady's usual teachings, so he had to walk over a little restrainedly.

"Auntie, Uncle!" The little girl walked up to her and squatted down obediently, blinking and looking at him with big round eyes, looking expectant.

"Huh? What's wrong? Du Bai shook the fan in his hand.

Ying'er asked beautifully, "Uncle, what about the little fox you bought yesterday?" Can you borrow Ying'er to touch it? ”

Du Bai shook the pu fan slightly, looked up at the sky, and his eyes were slightly meaningful.

Maybe the little girls like that kind of furry animals, but he is not to blame......

"Uncle, the next person said that it was taken away by you last night, where did you hide it?" It's a pity that the naïve little Ying'er doesn't understand the dangers of the world, her big eyes glance left and right, as if expecting a fluffy little fox to suddenly appear and pounce into her arms.

"Hmm......" Du Bai pondered for a moment, feeling that as an informed adult, he had to teach her the coldness of this world.
