When I heard this, I hurriedly untied the rope from my feet, got up and walked quickly to the old man's side.

"Senior, thank you for your help, if you don't come, I really don't know what to do." I looked at the old man and said.

The old man glanced at me and said, "Okay, don't talk about all this uselessness, I just don't want anyone to have any more trouble." And during this time, you have to take care of my food. ”

"It must be, I will definitely take care of the food of my predecessors." I hurriedly said with a smile.

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly remembered the mouse.

"Brother Zhang, what about the mouse? He has a lot to do with this case, and he can't let him run. I looked at Zhang Yuan and said.

"I don't need you to say this, when I first came, I already asked people to go to his house." Zhang Yuan said calmly.

Seeing Zhang Yuan like this, I was much more relieved.

"Oh no, no, no, the rat is gone." A voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, and the next moment I saw a man stumbling into the house.

"What?" Zhang Yuan and I exclaimed.

The two of us then rushed out of the room bypassing the man and ran towards the mouse's room.

When we ran inside, I found that the mouse was gone, but the mouse's peachwood sword and other things were still in the house, and it seemed that they had escaped in a hurry.

"The wanted warrant was issued throughout the whole process, this mouse is the key person in this case, and he must be arrested." Zhang Yuan turned around and shouted.

When Zhang Yuan's men heard this, they hurriedly went to prepare for this matter.

After that, we all felt very angry, and this living person just ran away from under our noses. But we have no other way, after all, the people have already run away, so let's catch them first.

After a long time, when I returned to the room, I looked at Zhang Yuan and asked, "Was it the rat who did it to you before?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "It's him, we were all there that day, but at this time, the mouse suddenly appeared." Say something happened to you, let's hurry over and help. We quickly went out, but after we got out, I remembered that I didn't know where you were, so I went back again.

When we returned, I saw the rat with a long sword ready to assassinate the man who was about to kill him, and I saw a vague shadow beside him, but I looked down on the man's appearance. After that, we started with the mouse, but we really didn't think that we were no match for him, and then we didn't know what was going on, so we didn't know anything. ”

After hearing this, I nodded and said, "I don't blame you for this matter, you are not his opponent in the first place, if he wants to mess with you, there will be many ways." Fortunately, he only took your souls away, and did not have your souls absorbed by the ghosts, in which case you would really be a living dead. ”

When I said this, I turned my head to look at the old man and asked, "By the way, senior, how did you find the souls of Zhang Yuan and the others?" ”

"Originally, I wanted to come to you, but after I inquired, I learned that the soul of this fast catcher was gone, so I immediately made a decision to find the soul first. As for this soul, it is naturally a piece of cake for me. As he spoke, the old man slowly raised his head.

I know that the old man is not boasting, he does have this strength.

"What's next?" Zhang Yuan looked at me and the old man and asked.

I thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's get the body back first, I always feel that things will not be so simple, and there may be some other hidden secrets in the pit." Otherwise, what would they do with such a lot of effort to head the corpse, I had seen the walking corpse they made with my own eyes before. ”

"Well, that's what I mean, too. Maybe the rat deliberately lured you away before, but now it seems that things are not so simple, let's hit the sinkhole tomorrow to find out. The old man said from the side.

I nodded after hearing this, and then I exchanged a few words with the old man and Zhang Yuan, and then went back to the room to rest. Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, began to search for the traces of rats in the county.

The next morning, I took the old man out to eat something. Not to mention, this old man can really eat, and one meal can catch up with my daily meal. I really doubt that this old man has never eaten.

But I was a little surprised, but I couldn't say anything yet. After all, I didn't get the place where people lived for nothing, and now I need people to help.

After dinner, we returned to Zhang Yuan's house, where Zhang Yuan had just returned from outside.

"Brother Zhang, what's going on with the mouse?" I looked at Zhang Yuan and asked.

Zhang Yuan shook his head slowly: "Without any eyebrows, he seems to have evaporated from the world, and he can't find this person at all." No, he had already run outside the county seat first. ”

At this time, Zhang Yuan's eyes were already bloodshot, and he could see that he had been busy with rat affairs all night and had not slept.

"Brother Zhang, then you should go to sleep for a while, and if you wake up in a while, go to the sinkhole to have a look." I looked at Zhang Yuan and said.

Zhang Yuan nodded after hearing this, and then returned to his room to rest.

When I saw this, I went to the rooms of the people who were born in the sunny year, and they were still crowded into one room. I gave them some charms and told them to stick them on the doors and windows, and to keep a copy for themselves. After that, they all went home.

The old man and I discussed going to the sinkhole for a while. In fact, there is not much to say, basically there are some things that need attention, of course, the most important thing is to be afraid that people will deliberately make things bad behind their backs. So we also decided to let Zhang Yuan and a few people follow us. It's not very useful, but giving them something like a charm can still help a little.

When the matter was agreed, the old man and I went back to our room to rest.

In the afternoon, we all got up. At this time, Zhang Yuan had already called all the extra people over, but there were only five of them including Zhang Yuan.

There aren't many people, but it's better than nothing.

We prepared some food and some long, sturdy ropes, and then we started to make our way to the sinkhole.

It is said that the sinkhole has existed for an unknown number of years, and no one has ever known what is underneath. Because of the danger of the place, no one here has ever been there, except for the occasional person who collects medicine and hunts will know about the sinkhole. Although they knew, they basically chose to avoid it from afar, after all, that place was very dangerous.

Under my leadership, we followed the path I had taken before. But when I walked to meet the old man, I found that there was some corpse gas faintly around me.

"How can it be a pattern? I didn't have it before. I looked around and wondered.

The old man also looked around and frowned, it was obvious that he had noticed that something was wrong here.

"Leave that alone, and then move on." The old man said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, the old man walked briskly forward. When the rest of us saw this, they hurried to follow.

We walked for a long time, the sun had already set by this time, and we made some torches ourselves. Then the torch glowed, and we walked to the vicinity of the sinkhole.

When I saw this sinkhole, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. The sinkhole was bigger than I had imagined, and because of the light, I couldn't see the other side at all, or I couldn't see the other side at all. And the depth of this sinkhole is also bottomless at a glance, looking towards the sinkhole, except for the boundless darkness is still darkness. And when you look at the bottom of the sinkhole, you always feel that there seem to be countless pairs of eyes staring at you below, which makes you have a boundless sense of panic in your heart.

In addition, I found that there are corpse qi and yin qi in this sinkhole, and this yin qi and corpse qi are quite terrifying. I even seriously doubt that the ghost king is hiding underneath this.

"Let's spend the night here today, and we'll go down early tomorrow morning." I turned my head to look at a few people and said.

After hearing this, everyone nodded, and then they got busy, finding food and lighting a fire. And Zhang Yuan and I, as well as the old man, sat down in place to discuss the next thing.

After several discussions, we decided that tomorrow the old man and I and Zhang Yuan would go down with one person, and the rest would stay on top. There must be someone to take care of it, and if there is an accident, there is a way out.

By the time the matter was settled, the others had already prepared their food and the fire. We used to eat a few briefly, and then we each found a comfortable place to sleep.

Maybe I had been on the road for an afternoon, and I had just been lying down for a while before I fell asleep in a daze.

It was about midnight when I suddenly heard a noise, and I opened my eyes and looked in the direction from which the sound was coming from. But the light was so dim that I couldn't see anything clearly.

Then I realized that the fire had been extinguished, but there were red charcoal lumps still lying there.

"Hee-hee-......" A slight laugh came to my ears.

"Who is it? Who's there? I asked, frowning, looking in the direction where I couldn't see anything.

But there was no answer in that direction, and the laughter gradually stopped. I looked at the place and frowned, and then I suddenly remembered the old man.

"Senior, senior, are you there?" I shouted in the direction where the old man was lying in my memory.

But what awaited me was silence, and there was no sound at all. More and more, I felt that something was wrong. Hurriedly took out the fire fold from his bosom and blew it on.

The faint light of the fire fold gave some light to the surroundings, and although the range that could be seen was small, it was sufficient. I walked to the place where the old man was lying, and I found that the old man had disappeared without knowing when. I looked in the direction of the others, and the others had disappeared.

But if a few people leave, they should tell me, why did they suddenly disappear out of thin air? And with the strength of the old man, even if he encounters something, he shouldn't be an opponent.

"Senior, Brother Zhang, where are you?" I shouted at the top of my voice.

But the only thing that answered me was the brief echo, and then there were some frightened birdsongs.

"Hee-hee-......" The laughter reached my ears again.

I don't know why, but I actually walked in the direction of laughter. After a few moments, I suddenly stopped, realized something was wrong, and took a step backwards.

For I found by the light of this fire fold that if I had just taken a step forward, I would have walked into the pit of heaven.
