Li Chenfeng was very puzzled. "But why is that?"

"Because we ate the food here."

"The food here? Is it ......?"

"The food here is made from the flesh of people who have died in despair, and from the moment I took the first bite of food here, my life was over. You see, I'm still alive, but I can't leave this paradise again, and once I do, my body will quickly weathered into dirt.

So even if we found a way to get out, we couldn't escape, and my sister just lost hope of living after learning the news, so she ......"

Hearing this, Li Chenfeng fell into deep thought, he was speculating what kind of thing that ghost king and ghost mother was, would have such ability, and could detain these poor souls so inhumanely?

Xiao Juan then said to him, "I know you haven't eaten the food here, so it's possible for you to escape from here. ”

"What is the way you said to deal with the Ghost King and the Ghost Mother?"

"The method is very simple, but it is not easy to complete, your chance of success is not even 20%, and the consequences of failure are serious, even if so, are you willing to listen?"

"Even if there is only a 1 percent chance of success, I want to listen, I don't want to die here, and even my soul will become a slave in the end."

"Okay, then I'll tell you. All this has to start from the origin of the ghost king and the ghost mother, about a hundred years ago in the Qing Dynasty, it was just an ordinary mountain village, at that time there was a Xiucai named Yu Guangchi in the village, he married a virtuous wife named Shen Yueqing.

Yu Guangchi studied poetry and books hard, and wanted to ask for fame, but he failed repeatedly. His wife Shen Yueqing worked hard to keep the family and provided him with education, and she had no complaints about his fall again and again.

In this way, although Yu Guangchi and his wife could not be promoted to become rich and enjoy glory and wealth, they lived a peaceful life very comfortably.

But the good times didn't last long, there was a bully in Yu Guangchi's village, he coveted Shen Yueqing's beauty, and often teased him in public, Shen Yueqing chose to swallow his anger in order not to make a big deal and cause trouble for the family.

Although Shen Yueqing endured it, this matter was a great shame for Yu Guangchi as her husband, but because the bully was powerful and powerful, she couldn't do anything by herself.

So he studied even harder, thinking that when he got fame and became an official, he would punish him well, what he believed was the old saying, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

In the next few years, Yu Guangchi still failed in the exams again and again, but the bullies' bullying of their husband and wife intensified, and finally even directly defiled Shen Yueqing's body and made him pregnant with his child.

Yu Guangchi's patience finally reached the limit, and he planned to seek revenge on the bully, but he learned that the other party had been admitted to the juren and went to the field to become an official.

This is the result that Yu Guangchi never expected, that bully is to cause trouble everywhere every day in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, he is a person who doesn't even know a few big characters, he can actually participate in the scientific examination, and finally was admitted to the Juren, the most ironic thing is that he is still a Wenju person.

In contrast, he didn't understand what his more than ten years of hard study were. Later, he learned that the bully was because there were people in the court at home, and after going back and forth with gold and silver, the official fortune naturally came.

After that, Yu Guangchi was completely desperate, pulled a straw rope and hanged himself under the old locust tree at the head of the village. Before hanging himself, he buried a book under the big locust tree, which was Tao Yuanming's "Tao Yuanming Collection", which is the source of "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring".

As for why he buried this book, it was because when he was alive, he was already tired of the deceit of the world, tired of the imperial examination and the corruption in the officialdom, he longed for a life in paradise, and wanted to go to such a free place after he died.

Soon after Yu Guangchi's death, his wife Shen Yueqing also hanged herself from the old locust tree, which ended in such a tragedy.

But later, a lot of strange things happened on the old locust tree, in the following decades, dozens of scholars hanged themselves on that tree, and over time, the book under the tree became spiritual, and the resentful souls of Yu Guangchi and Shen Yueqing were resurrected through that book.

After that, all the people of that village disappeared overnight, and the place became a forbidden place for the living to dare not set foot in the first half.

Later, they created the illusion of paradise here, and they hunted down the living people who accidentally broke into this place little by little, and finally achieved the scene you see today, and they also became the ghost king and ghost mother here. ”

Li Chenfeng touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully, it was obvious that the ghost mother Shen Yueqing was Zhang Yulan, the new wife of Zhang Selling Dogs he had seen, and it was precisely because she was a ghost born in the Qing Dynasty and had a deep Taoism, so her primary charm could not work on her.

"That means I want to get out of here, and that book is the key."

"That's right, as long as you burn that book, the ghost king and the ghost mother will be gone, and the illusion here will disappear with it."

"But in that case, your body will disappear with you."

Xiao Juan shook her head and said: "So what's the matter, anyway, my body will soon become the food of the ghost king and the ghost mother, and it is no different from disappearing directly, if it disappears here, at least my soul can be free." ”

Li Chenfeng nodded. "Well, you know where the old locust tree is, and without further ado, we'll have to go over tonight."

Xiao Juan nodded, she stood up and went to remove the weeds covering the entrance of the cave, and noticed that the evil ghosts chasing Li Chenfeng had already gone away, so she beckoned to Li Chenfeng.

Li Chenfeng followed her all the way to a hillside cautiously, and sure enough, he saw a very large old locust tree, thinking that this matter could be ended very easily, but at this time, Li Chenfeng noticed that there was a figure under the tree.

Although she couldn't see his appearance clearly, Xiao Juan beside Li Chenfeng looked very frightened at this time, as if she had noticed something.

"He's ......"

I saw that the guy slowly walked towards Li Chenfeng, Li Chenfeng seemed to be very cautious and retreated, at this time, the moon in the sky came out of nowhere, under the moonlight, Li Chenfeng saw his face clearly, it was actually a dog.

Li Chenfeng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him with a smile.

"Fuck, it turned out to be your grandson, just now I saw you lying in the coffin in a daze, Lao Tzu thought you were killed by that mother-in-law, I was really scared to death."

At this time, Xiao Juan, who was beside Li Chenfeng, suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't go over, he is ......"
