A faint firelight could be seen in the thick fog, and the skinny woman asked Tang Yao to follow her, and then went to the place where the firelight was lit to stay, Tang Yao vaguely felt that the farmhouse in the firelight should not be safe, but he had planned to plan it to see what the mystery was in this second illusion.

He nodded and followed the woman's pace, and the two of them drew closer and closer to the farmhouse that seemed out of reach.

It seemed to be a very close farmhouse but it still took more than ten minutes to arrive, standing outside the fence wall, Tang Yao looked inside, it was a very ordinary farmhouse bungalow, the place was not big, and because of the dense fog, Tang Yao could not see the whole picture of the farmhouse.

The woman walked to the door of the farmhouse and patted it, but no one responded, she turned back to Tang Yao and said, "It seems that there is no one, then let's go in." ”

Tang Yao was just about to speak when he suddenly saw a light on in the farmhouse, since the light was on, it meant that there were people inside, and after a while, the wooden door of the bungalow opened, and an old woman wearing a cloth dress walked out, and the woman immediately said: "Old woman, we are lost in the mountains, can we spend the night here with you?" ”

The old woman didn't answer, walked to the gate and opened the door of the fence wall, and then raised her head, Tang Yao saw that it was a face full of wrinkles, all the wrinkles were like twisted earthworms crawling all over the old woman's face, although the evaluation of a person's appearance was not kind, but this old woman's face looked really a little terrible.

"What are you doing in the mountains so late?" The old woman asked, her voice hoarse as if it had been squeezed out of her throat.

"We went into the mountain during the day, but we got lost, and now we can't find the way down the mountain, old woman, we are not bad people, you let us go in and stay for one night, and we will leave after dawn tomorrow when the fog clears." The woman said hurriedly.

The old woman still seemed to be a little hesitant, and then looked at Tang Yao who was standing aside and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

This sudden question made Tang Yao slightly stunned, and Tang Yao asked strangely, "Do you think I look like a human or a ghost?" ”

"I don't think you're human......" The old woman suddenly pulled out a wood-splitting knife from behind her back and slashed at Tang Yao's side, Tang Yao dodged away, the old woman stumbled and didn't cut Tang Yao, and when she wanted to turn around and slash at Tang Yao again, Tang Yao reached out and grabbed the wire worn on the fence wall, and Tang Yao's body was only protected by the essence of his cultivation without strengthening, and the wire could still be easily pierced and stabbed his hand, and the wound quickly bleed.

When the old woman saw the blood flowing from Tang Yao's hands, she immediately stopped attacking Tang Yao, coughed and said, "Ghosts don't bleed, so you're human, I'm sorry just now, please come in with me." ”

In fact, Tang Yao deliberately grabbed the wire on the fence wall just now to bleed, the purpose was to prove to this old woman that he was a human, of course, this also revealed two pieces of information, first, Tang Yao knew that whether it was a monster or a so-called person in the entire fantasy realm, it was actually an ancient spirit, but now this old woman asked Tang Yao if he was a human or a ghost, which sounded a little strange, could it be that the ancient spirits in the fantasy world would also role-play, and come to a good guy camp and a ghost camp, If this is the case, then this illusion may be more complicated than Tang Yao imagined, so it is not worth it to do it now, because it is likely to startle the snake, if this old woman is not a so-called good ancient spirit, then Tang Yao will destroy it and expose that he already knows that the illusion is full of ancient spirits, so the gains outweigh the losses.

Second, Tang Yao still wanted to continue to carry out the strategy of calculating the plan, the red-skinned ghost didn't know much information, Tang Yao needed to know more information about this illusion from the mouths of other ancient spirits, this old woman might be the breakthrough.

Third, Tang Yao plans to use this old woman to test the woman next to him, and it seems that there are too many suspicious things about this woman.

To sum up, Tang Yao decided to enter this farmhouse for the time being and then find out.

The two followed the old woman into the farmhouse, and Tang Yao noticed that after getting the old woman's consent, the woman next to Tang Yao still asked, "Can I come in?" ”

After the old woman gave a clear and agreeing answer, she walked into the fence, which made Tang Yao feel a little strange in his heart.

In the farmhouse bungalow, the layout is very simple, and there is not much furniture, Tang Yao and the woman sat on the kang, the old woman poured two cups of hot tea, the bungalow was very warm, but the light was not very bright, the old woman sat on the chair opposite them and said while drinking tea: "You shouldn't come up the mountain at this time, so you will die." ”

Tang Yao asked strangely, "Why did you die?" ”

"Because there are ghosts in the mountains these days."

As soon as these words came out, Tang Yao even felt that the temperature of the entire room seemed to have dropped a lot, and the originally warm tea also became cold at this time.

Tang Yao then asked, "What do you mean by ghosts, is it the kind of ghosts in the traditional sense?" ”

The old woman glanced at him and said, "Otherwise, are there other ghosts, our mountain is not peaceful, the last few days are when the annual ghost door of our mountain is opened, and the town at the foot of the mountain also holds a temple fair of sacrifices, don't you know?" ”

Tang Yao shook his head, but glanced at the woman on the side and asked, "Didn't you just go to that temple fair?" ”

The woman nodded and said, "Yes, but I didn't know that it was actually a temple fair held for Halloween, no wonder I encountered that kind of monster." ”

As soon as these words came out, the old woman's face suddenly changed and said: "You have met a monster, then you leave my house quickly, my family will not take you in." ”

As she spoke, she was about to drive the woman away, but the woman hurriedly pointed at Tang Yao and said, "That ghost has been destroyed by him, it should be fine." ”

The old woman turned her head and stared at Tang Yao suspiciously, Tang Yao smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence, I don't know how to exorcise ghosts." ”

The old woman still seemed to be a little worried, bowed her head and thought for a while and said: "You will leave as soon as it dawns tomorrow, my house will not leave you, but when the ghost door is opened, there is fog both day and night, and it is unlikely that you want to find an ordinary way down the mountain, but there is an ancient road on the mountain not far behind my house, which used to be specially used to let people who buy mountain goods walk, you just go down the mountain along the ancient road." ”

"Where did all the ghosts in the mountains come from?" Tang Yao opened his mouth to ask, but seeing that the old woman was staring at him unkindly, Tang Yao hurriedly added, "Don't care, I'm just curious." ”

The old woman said coldly: "Our mountain has a ghost gate, that is, there are too many dead people in this mountain, and the souls are not dispersed, and over time it has become a door, this door can lead to the underworld and can also connect the yang world, I remember when I was a child, the adults in every household told the children that they could not go out at night, and they would be arrested when they went out, and they would not come back." ”

"Have you ever seen a ghost?" Tang Yao continued to ask tentatively.

The old woman held the tea and smiled coldly and said, "I've seen it, why haven't I seen it, we've all seen ......."

Tang Yao asked again: "Then since this place is so terrifying, why do you still live in the mountains, isn't it good to move out early?" ”

The old woman squinted at him and said, "It's just my home, why should I leave, besides, I was a human when I was alive now, and when I die, won't I become a ghost, what's so terrible?" ”

After speaking, the old woman walked to the other room with a teacup, Tang Yao slept on the other end of the kang with a quilt, and said, "Let's get together for the night, and go down the mountain together early tomorrow morning." ”

He closed his eyes, of course he didn't fall asleep, he began to think in his heart, this is an assessment after all, it is definitely impossible to let him sleep in the illusion for one night, if there is any danger, I believe it will soon attack him.

At this time, strange smoke began to float in the air, and the smoke slowly lingered between Tang Yao's mouth and nose, Tang Yao seemed to close his eyes and didn't know anything, but in fact he was still awake, after smelling this strange smoke, he immediately held his breath and listened, and then heard the sound of talking in the next room.

He opened his eyes slightly and found that the woman who was traveling with him was actually gone, he got up and quietly walked to the door, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and then heard two voices from the old woman's room next door, it was the old woman and the woman, but the content of their words was very unusual.
