Chapter 178: Puppet

By this time, he had already walked to the hut. Lao Qin stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, then walked in.

The hut was so dimly lit that we didn't dare to go in, and it took us a while to get used to the light.

But by the time we entered, Lao Qin's figure had disappeared.

The furnishings in the room were simple, with a bed facing the door.

There was a table next to it, and a worn-out chair, and nothing else.

gives us the feeling that Lao Qin is very similar to Feng Yi, and he evaporated in the blink of an eye.

Chu Yao said in a deep voice, "There must be a passage in the room, it is impossible for him to escape so quickly." ”

The things in the room are clear at a glance, and there is no hiding from anyone at all.

Chu Yao was very careful, she walked to the bed, and the bed had traces of moving.

We carefully moved the bed away, and sure enough, there was an entrance to a black hole under the bed.

Chu Yao scolded, "This old slippery head! ”

Lao Qin's speed is quite fast, from entering the house to escaping in one go, it is estimated that he often uses this method to get out.

I said to Chu Yao, "You help me protect a little, I'll go down first!" ”

Chu Yao told me, "Be careful, he may be waiting for us below." ”

I nodded, and then took it out with the Xuantian Sword, and the sword flashed out, and my entire body was shrouded in black mangs.

The passage wasn't very deep, so I jumped lightly. As soon as my feet hit the ground, I quickly rolled to the side.

To my surprise, the bottom was actually very spacious, four or five zhang in size.

There was a deathly silence around, not even a single figure.

I shouted towards it and told Chu Yao to come down.

With a bang, Chu Yao also jumped down from above. We looked around.

Only then did I realize that there were five or six exits in the space. We don't know where they lead.

We had to walk to the central exit, with me leading the way and Chu Yao behind me.

The passage is about one zhang high and about one or two meters wide. It looks like this passage has been under construction for a long time.

The passage was not very long, but in ten minutes, we reached the exit of the passage.

A stone staircase stretched upward, and I cautiously walked up the stone staircase.

At the exit, there is a stone slab blocking it.

I gently lifted the slate, then poked my head out to look outside.

Only then did I find out that the exit was in the room of a family.

Seeing that there was no movement around, Chu Yao and I climbed out.

We stood in the room with a look of confusion on our faces. We went around and came back to the village.

And in the entire village, it seems that there is really only one living person left, Lao Qin.

When we came out of the house, we found that there was still a lantern hanging at the gate.

To our surprise, the lantern did not go out, and it seemed that all the problems were with the lantern.

We arrived at the gate and took a closer look at the lantern.

The lantern is made of a kind of skin membrane with fine pores. Chu Yao frowned and said, "That's human skin!" ”

Hearing her words, I wanted to hit those graves in the cemetery again.

In front of every house in the village, there is a human skin lantern hanging in front of the house, and it seems that everyone in the village has been made into a lantern.

I whispered, "What the hell is this place?" ”

Chu Yao shook his head and said, "I can't tell you clearly, Feng Yi fell into their hands, most of them were fierce and unlucky, and if they didn't get it, they were also made into lanterns." ”

Hearing her words, I was very worried about Feng Yi. But the village was empty, and we had no clues.

At this moment, Chu Yao said in surprise, "Look, it's Feng Yi!" ”

When I heard her words, I was stunned. Looking in the direction of her finger, I saw a figure running by.

From behind, it is exactly the same as Feng Yi. We didn't expect him to escape.

We chased after us. Chu Yao shouted, "Feng Yi, where are you going?" Wait for us! ”

Chu Yao's voice was very loud, and it was at night, Feng Yi would definitely be able to hear it.

But for some reason, he didn't react at all.

No matter how fast we ran, he always kept the same distance from us.

We were angry and anxious, watching Feng Yi run towards the back street.

And we entered the village from that street.

To our surprise, he ran towards the courtyard where he had disappeared.

Is he going back to us?

We followed him to the gate, but we didn't rush in.

We were careful because we didn't see his face.

Besides, even if it's really Feng Yi, if we call him, it's impossible for him not to agree.

Chu Yao and I took a few steps back and hid behind a courtyard wall.

Sure enough, as the figure entered the courtyard, the lantern outside was also extinguished.

Just as the lantern was extinguished, I saw a dark shadow flickering in the lantern.

It was the thing that extinguished the candle in the lantern.

I glanced up into the courtyard.

Only then did I find that at the main entrance of the room, there was a bronze mirror hanging towards the lantern.

The moonlight just shone on the bronze mirror, and the light reflected from the copper mirror was shining on the lantern.

When someone enters the courtyard, the light is blocked, and the contents of the lantern move, and the candle is extinguished.

It reminds me of the two small doors in the River Temple.

Even Chu Yao noticed this and said in a low voice, "The mirror on the door is modeled after the eight-pole mirror. ”

This spell is so exquisitely designed that if it weren't for the mechanism in the River Temple, it would have been hard for me to find out.

Chu Yao and I walked over to the lantern.

I have seen this kind of technique in the Earth Escape Technique left by Shen Junyang, and it is the simplest in the Earth Escape Technique.

It's very simple for this kind of person who has cultivated the Earth Escape Technique. But if it's an outsider, it's a headache.

If you can't crack this spell, as long as the lantern is extinguished, it will be discovered by Lao Qin.

I think Lao Qin is definitely not the only one in the village, there must be other reasons why he fled.

What made me wonder even more was how they learned this technique.

Because only people who have a relationship with the Shen family will use this kind of technique.

But we can't manage so much now, we have to settle Feng Yi's matter first.

I walked over to the lantern and concentrated the earthy aura on the palm of my hand.

I gently cut a slit in the lantern. On top of the lantern membrane, there is this small piece of loess, which is the key to activating the spell.

Just take it down, and then the spell will be cracked.

I took it off and lit the candle again.

In just a few seconds, although Lao Qin was very vigilant, it was difficult to notice that there were people in the courtyard.

When I got to the door of the room, I vaguely saw a figure standing inside.

I had a tacit understanding with Chu Yao, I went directly into the house, and she protected me from behind.

I asked, "Feng Yi, why don't you agree?" He pushed the door open and stepped inside.

To our surprise, it was not Feng Yi standing in the room, but the white paper man we had seen.

It was still standing where it was, not knowing who had lifted it up.

Chu Yao said, "Feng Yi really came in. ”

We kept an eye on the house, but we didn't notice when he went out.

"Could it be that there is a secret passage in this room too?"

After Chu Yao's reminder, I remembered.

It's just that we searched around the room, but we couldn't find the secret passage at all.

Chu Yao and I glanced at each other. Just like when Feng Yi disappeared, he seemed to have evaporated in the room again.

The sudden disappearance under the noses of the two top spirit masters was a bit too incredible.

Chu Yao said, "Why don't we wait in the room to see what the hell he's doing!" ”

I promised, and we went back to our room.

Looking towards the gate, the lantern was still lit and swaying back and forth in the wind.

The whole village was as silent as death, and it was no wonder that the shopkeeper would say that this was a dead man's village.

If ordinary people came here, they would have to be scared half to death.

For us, it's like someone is playing a trick, but there is always a time when the mystery will be revealed.

At this moment, Chu Yao touched me lightly, and then pointed out the window.

That's when I realized that a face was peeking out of the window. He stared at us blankly.

The two of us can see it clearly, it is Feng Yi!

"Feng Yi," Chu Yao said angrily, "Don't make such jokes with me!" ”

Feng Yi didn't say anything, as if he didn't know us.

We all had to be careful not to separate no matter what, otherwise we would definitely end up like him.

We were going to go out through the window, but as soon as we ran to the window, Feng Yi turned around and ran towards the backyard.

He was fast, and his body was fluttering, as if he was flying against the wind.

We scrambled to chase out the back window.
