It is said that during the vicious fight between the shoulder wolf and Monchi, Monchi was thrown on a big rock, causing a little concussion and quitting the battle and returning to his cave.

The blood marks left by the two hindwolf claws that adhered to Mengqi's blood were strangely absorbed by the soil in the cave, slowly seeping down until they disappeared.

And then the dirt moved a little!

The wolf didn't notice this, it just sat in the burrow and licked the blood from its paws.

A dull rattle crept from the dirt, and the wolf raised his head and ears in alarm, baring his teeth and grinning.

Suddenly, from the blood mark that had just disappeared, a withered hand suddenly stretched out of the earth! Frightened, the wolf jumped up all at once.

Then, a surprising scene happened: a corpse suddenly broke through the ground!

It was a stiff corpse standing straight from foot to head.

The zombie's cloak was scattered, and its skinny face was almost a skull, and although its clothes were tattered, it could still be recognized as the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty.

The zombie looked around for a moment, and stretched out his hands straight, and the long black nails on those hands pointed at the shoulder wolf that was still in a state of confusion.

The zombie jumped straight and stiff at the wolf.

At this time, the vicious wolf saw this, but it completely lost its previous fierceness, but retreated backwards like a mourning dog.

The zombie opened its dry mouth, revealing its two long corpse teeth and biting it......

……

Have you ever tried to walk through the dark mountains and forests near midnight?

With a faint light on the phone, it can only illuminate the little area under your feet.

The bushes and thorns blow you from time to time, and the only thing in your ears is the gust of wind and the strange cry of owls.

In the shadows around you, there seems to be something dark that does not belong to this world, quietly peeping at you, waiting for an opportunity to move.

This feeling, fear? Helpless? Despair?

No, none of these words can describe their current situation.

To be precise, it's like being abandoned in another dark and barren world, with only a deep chill and endless loss.

"Zhang Yi......" The fat man suddenly stopped and leaned weakly against a camphor tree.

He said with a decadent face: "It's only three minutes!" We're done......"

Yao Jing also said anxiously: "We still can't see anything, we only know a general direction, will it go astray." ”

Zhang Yi looked around nervously, wishing that he could expand the search area without bringing a xenon lamp.

If you only rely on two mobile phones to illuminate it, the ghost knows where he will take a few of them.

Wipe! At this time, when you think of ghosts, don't you add to your own blockage?

Zhang Yi shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of all the bad thoughts in his head, this is not the time to complain.

You can complain about cheating fathers in school and society, but anyway, you have something to eat and someone to help.

And in this ghost-infested mountain forest, you still don't know whether to live or die when you think about complaining! Especially this kind of dark time.

"Cheer up, Wansan!" Zhang Yi said: "Stay here and wait for death, if you continue to move forward, you may also die, anyway, it is all death, it is better to try your luck in the end, maybe there is a glimmer of life!" ”

"Zhang Yi is right," Yao Jing also said: "Third brother, you can't give up now, we have to save Xiaoyue tomorrow." ”

Looking at Yao Jing's sister's earnest eyes, as a man, Wan San naturally couldn't be cowardly.

He got up and stepped forward and said, "Okay, let's hurry up and take a gamble!" ”

So everyone quickened their pace, and regardless of the thorns in front of them, they almost desperately struggled to move forward!

After the three of them walked through a bush, they suddenly felt like "another village with dark willows and bright flowers".

At the foot of you, there is a path, no longer overgrown with vegetation, and most importantly, it leads to a house not far away!

Although it was dark and he couldn't see the appearance of the room clearly, the fat man still shouted excitedly: "Temple! Temple ......"

I don't know and think that the fat man is "let's learn cat meow together, meow meow together".

However, Zhang Yi and Yao Jing of course understood that it seemed that God had not abandoned them, so the three of them immediately trotted towards the house excitedly.

Soon, everyone arrived at the house, and when they used the light of their mobile phones, a chill suddenly hit their bodies!

What kind of temple is this, but a mud house made of adobe bricks, and the earthen house is covered with bricks and tiles.

In Xiangxi, in the past, poor families could not afford to build brick houses, so they collected soil from the fields and dried them in a kiln to form adobe houses.

But the most bizarre thing is that at the top of the wooden door of the earthen house, there are two white paper lanterns hanging on the left and right.

The lantern is written with a black brush with the word "lay"!

Everyone looked at the word "Dian" in horror for a while, and forgot whether to advance or retreat for a while.

Suddenly, a bell rang rapidly, which frightened everyone.

"Holy! Wansan! What alarm do you set? I'm so scared that my heart is about to come out! Zhang Yi patted his chest and said.

"On the way here, I was afraid that I would lose the time, so I set an alarm for 11 o'clock in the evening...... Depend on! It's midnight, what should I do? The fat man said as he looked at his phone.

It was only then that he remembered that there was a word called "midnight bell".

As he spoke, the wooden door of the adobe house in front of everyone suddenly opened with a "creak".

A gust of wind caressed the two lanterns with the word "Dien" on the door.

At the same time, in the swarthy doorway, a figure gradually emerged, oh no, perhaps...... It's a ghost that has emerged!

The three of them were so frightened that they retreated again and again, exclaiming in surprise.

"It's really over...... Zhang Yi stared at the shadow and thought for the last time.

And the fat man and Yao Jing were so frightened that they closed their eyes, waiting for Mo Lin's most terrible midnight to come.

……

After a while, it seemed that nothing had happened.

The fat man and Yao Jing slowly opened their eyes, only to see Zhang Yi talking quietly to an old man in a gray cloak.

The shadow that just emerged was naturally this old man.

The old man had an old face full of horrible wrinkles and dark skin.

He said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "You really haven't been able to get down the mountain." But I told you to go to the ancient temple of Morin, how did you come to my house? ”

"Your home?" Everyone was stunned, and couldn't help but look at the lantern with the word "lay" hanging on the wooden door, and then looked at the old man suspiciously.

The old man seemed to understand something, and he smiled: "Haha, don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost." ”

Zhang Yistill was not completely sure whether the old man in the cloak was a human or a ghost from beginning to end, so he was still on guard with a serious face.

Seeing this, the old man stretched out his hand and said, "If you don't believe it, you can hold it and see." ”

Yes, ghosts are cold, and people certainly have body temperature. But Zhang Yi was scared at the moment, how dare he easily step forward and shake "his" hand.

However, if he can meet a living person at this time, and it is the original inhabitant who lives in this mountain, then Zhang Yi will survive tonight, and the possibility of survival will become greater.

Thinking back to his previous judgment and Meng Qi's analysis, since he had already come to find the ancient temple shelter with the attitude of believing in the old man, now that he had met him, he would simply gamble to the end!

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, stepped forward, and stretched out his hand tremblingly.

"Hey! Don't......" exclaimed the fat man.

"Huh~" After shaking hands, Zhang Yi let out a long breath, turned to the fat man and Yao Jing and said, "Don't be afraid, he is not a ghost." ”

"Wow...... Finally met a living person......" The fat man patted his chest.

Since going up the mountain, it has been full of dangers, and now I feel that I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But Yao Jing still didn't let her guard down, she asked questioningly at this time: "But, uncle, why do you want to hang this?" ”

Still looking horrively, at the two strange lanterns still swaying in the wind.

"Oh! This lantern! The old man said slowly, "Hey! If it was before, our Morin Village would still be relatively peaceful, but then I don't know why the ghosts are making a lot of noise. Later, the people of the village either ran away or died inexplicably.

More than ten years ago, my daughter and my mother passed away one after another. This lantern had been hanging here all along, but later I accidentally noticed that with this memorial lantern, those unclean things would not come in.

Maybe they saw these funeral items at the door, and thought that the family had just died, and that there were new ghosts staying here......"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Fat Wansan said eagerly: "Old man, since this is the case, then let the three of us go in and avoid it." We've met some ghosts who say they're looking for us in the middle of the night. ”

But the old man shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid you have entered my house." They'll still come to the door. ”

"This ...... Why is that? ”

"I, a lonely old man, live in this mud house, my yang qi is very weak, and it is generally difficult to smell unclean things, plus these funeral objects at the door are used as a way to obstruct my eyes, so many years, I live here very safely.

However, you three young men and big girls who are in their prime, and it is difficult for them not to be discovered. If at other times, there are many people and the ghosts dare not approach, but at the most yin time...... But it's hard to say. After the old man finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Yi and the three of them with a serious face.

Then he added: "If you want to live, you have to go to the ancient temple of Molin!" ”

Zhang Yi and the three of them sweated on their foreheads when they heard this, it was all this time, what kind of Molin Ancient Temple did they have to take the risk?

Originally, they thought they would find a shelter, but they didn't expect that the bamboo basket would be empty, and they had to complete the "Northern Expedition Revolutionary Journey" to find the ancient temple.

Is there a mistake? Zhang Yi scolded secretly in his heart, but any emotion at this time was useless.

So he asked, "Uncle, we are indeed coming in the direction of the north, but we really can't find the temple!" Can you show us the way? ”

Although he said that, Zhang Yi didn't have a bottom in his heart, after all, at this time of the night, if the old man acted with them, he would also face a great risk.

But he didn't expect the old man to answer very simply: "When you first arrived now, those things may have just been dispatched, we still have a little time, you are not wrong in the direction, but this forest is too big, and the vision at night is limited, so you are slightly off."

In fact, the ancient temple is near here, but you have to hurry! You wait for me at the door for a moment. ”

With that, the old man turned and went into the house, and in a moment he brought out an oil lamp, a shotgun, a stack of yellow runes, and two water bottles.

The old man took out the yellow rune paper, handed it to Zhang Yi and the three of them, and said, "Come, there are not many rune papers, each of you take three, you all follow me, no one asks any questions, and no one speaks again!" Until you enter the ancient temple! ”

After a few people finished dividing the rune paper, then the old man closed the door, carrying a shotgun and an oil lamp, striding in front of the meteor, Zhang Yi and the three hurriedly followed, they looked at the dark col in front of them and around them, and they did not dare to come out.

The night ahead seemed to be darker, and the wind was blowing harder.

Everyone was amazed to find that even the sky, which had been full of stars, had now become extremely dark, and the whole world was lost in a desperate darkness......
