I nodded at the rat and prepared to walk over to the offering table.

Just when I had just walked out a few steps, I suddenly realized that tonight's rat was actually a little weird, but I couldn't say what was the blame for a while.

"Daoyou, what's wrong with you? What to see? The mouse looked at me and asked curiously.

I shook my head and said it was okay. Then I went to the table and put all the scarecrows on the table.

After the preparation, I turned my head to look at the mouse and asked, "By the way, what did Brother Zhang do?" His men are gone, could it be that he is also gone? ”

"Well, he can't help with anything here, so I'll let him go. If he's here, he'll make a mess of it, and it's useless to stay here. The mouse looked at me and explained.

After hearing this, I think it's the same, after all, Zhang Yuan doesn't know anything, and there will be some chaos if he doesn't do it. There's a rat here to help, and that's the best.

"Peachwood Sword." I turned my head to look at the table and said as I reached out to the mouse.

As soon as the words fell, the mouse placed a peachwood sword in my hand.

"Eight characters for the lead, the straw man is the soul, the soul is for the body, E!" As the words fell, I threw the charms at the straw man.

The next moment, the spell ignited spontaneously without fire. Then, I hurriedly dipped my hand in some black dog blood and threw it at the scarecrow. Soon after, the scarecrow turned to grass ashes.

I hurriedly took out a few charms and wrapped the ashes of each scarecrow in them.

"We're done, let's go." I looked back at the mouse and said.

The mouse nodded without speaking, then picked up a bag and followed me towards the outside of the courtyard.

After walking out of the yard, I stretched out my hand to the mouse and said, "Compass." ”

When the mouse heard this, he hurriedly took out the compass from the baggage and put it in my hand. And after I took the compass, I directly took out a charm wrapped in the ashes of the scarecrow.

"Directions." As I spoke, I flung the spell and ash straight ahead.

After the words fell, the spell that had been thrown out suddenly burst into flames. In the blink of an eye, the flame vanished without a trace. At this moment, the compass in my hand spun rapidly. The pointer on the compass rotated for a while, and then pointed in the northwest direction. I was very curious when I saw the pointer pointing in this direction, I heard Zhang Yuan say that there was nothing in the northwest, how could it be pointing in this direction.

But this compass is basically infallible, and it's better to look at it anyway.

Then the mouse and I headed northwest. We followed the compass all the way, and it didn't take long for us to get out of the county. And the direction we are taking is getting more and more remote, and in the end there is no way out.

"Fellow Daoist, I don't feel that something is right." The mouse said, looking around.

I looked at him and said, "But if you hide the body around here, maybe no one can think of it." Let's look for it, maybe there will be some receipts. ”

The mouse nodded, and I looked at the compass.

But at this moment, the compass in my hand didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly it spun wildly. It is always not pointing in a specific direction, and the pointer just keeps turning without stopping.

"There's a cat around here, be careful." I looked around and said.

But there was no response from my side, and I looked behind me curiously. Then I found out that the rat that was still following me just now disappeared at some point.

"Mouse, what are you doing?" I shouted around.

But there was silence all around, and there was no response at all. I was worried that something would happen to the mouse, but when I thought about it, the mouse was also a person with something, so how could he be so easily tricked. Then I don't want to pay attention to the mouse, maybe the mouse has something to leave.

With that in mind, I continued to walk forward.

The trees on both sides were growing more and more, and I walked among the weeds that were about to reach my knees. There is no yin energy around, but yang energy here is also very rare. I walked I don't know how far when I looked at the compass again. I noticed that the needle of the compass had returned to normal, and the pointer was pointing to my left-hand side.

I glanced to the left-hand side, and then walked slowly towards it.

But before I could make any progress, I felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at me behind me. I jerked my head back, only to find that there was nothing behind me.

I didn't notice anything like demonic or yin behind me, but the feeling of being stared at was still there.

"Mouse, isn't it you? If it's you, come out quickly, maybe we're not far from what we're looking for. I said, looking into the darkness.

The darkness was silent, and there was no response. I had no choice but to turn around and continue to walk forward.

"Hehe, kid is really a coincidence, I didn't expect you to come to this kind of place. Could it be that he came with me, a stinky old man? A voice suddenly came from above my head.

I hurriedly took two steps back and looked in the direction of my head.

In the darkness, I saw a figure sitting on a tree branch. One of the figure's legs was swinging in the air, looking very leisurely.

"Who are you? How did it end up here? I asked, looking at the figure in the tree.

"Oh, it's only been a long time since we separated, and you don't know me as an old man? It seems that I still think highly of you, I thought you were still a good person. The figure in the tree said again.

I thought to myself, I didn't know anything as soon as we separated, and I had to be able to see it in such darkness. But I don't know anyone in this town, so could it be that I know the people on this tree from somewhere else?

Before I could speak, the figure in the tree leaped forward. When I saw this, I subconsciously turned my face to the side.

"Ouch......" The next moment, a voice came from the man's mouth.

Just listening to the voice, you should know that he is not a young person, and jumping from such a high place, it is strange that he can stand it. If you don't get it right, you might break your bones.

"You, you haven't come to help me, you're waiting there for death." The man yelled as he looked in my direction.

I hurried over and helped the man to his feet. Only then did I realize that this person was really an acquaintance of mine in this county. He was none other than the old man I knew in that prison.

"Senior, why are you? You were let out? How did you end up here? I watched as the old man blurted out a barrage of questions.

The old man gave me a blank look, then rubbed his ass and said, "I've done such a big thing, what can they do to me." When you left, they let me out. During this time, I heard about the things in the county, and I knew that you would not let it go. I figured you'd be here, so I'll be waiting for you in advance. ”

"Haha, that's really thanks to the seniors. With a master like my predecessor by my side, it was much easier to go next, and I felt like I was about to find those missing corpses. I looked at the old man and said.

"Shit, do you know where you're going?" The old man looked at me and shouted.

I pointed to the compass and said, "Senpai, of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this place." I came here with the compass, and I thought it wouldn't be long before all of this was settled. ”

"You know bullshit, there's a sinkhole not far ahead, and you can't go down where you go, and if you go, it's for nothing. And if someone were to harm you, you would surely die. The old man looked at me with an angry look on his face and said.

"Sinkhole? How can there be a sinkhole in this place? And I haven't heard anyone say it before, it shouldn't be. I said hurriedly.

After hearing this, the old man said: "It's normal that they don't know, this place is basically no one has been here, and it is still far away." Except for a few people who collect medicine and hunt, no one else will know. ”

After listening to the old man's words, I was silent, could it be that someone really deliberately led me here? Could the bodies of those dead be in the pit of heaven?

Suddenly, I thought of the people in the county. Since someone deliberately lured me away, wouldn't those people who were in the sun be dangerous?

"Thank you, senior, I still have something to solve first, and I'll invite you to drink another day." After saying that, I turned around and ran in the direction of the county seat.

The old man nodded when he saw me like this, and after I left, he said to himself, "It's not too stupid, you know those people." If it weren't for the fact that I didn't care about this business, I wouldn't have bothered to run to this hellish place and wait for you. ”

After saying that, the old man found a more comfortable place to lie down. After a few moments, the snoring began to start.

When I returned to the county seat, it was not far from dawn, and it would be an hour at most. I felt more and more uneasy, and I feared that if it was really the same as the old man said, it would be enough time for that thing to do it.

Then, I rushed to what I remembered as a house. This is also one of the families that I learned from Zhang Yuan's mouth before, and it is the closest one to Zhang Yuan's house. The rest of the people know about it, but it's far away.

Soon after, I ran to the gate of the courtyard. At this time, the courtyard and the street were the same, and there was not the slightest movement.

Then I was about to push the door in, but the door must have been inserted backwards, and I couldn't open it at all.

"Knock...... "I knocked on ......the door."

But there was still no movement in the courtyard, and I wonder if the people guarding here are asleep, or there must be no movement. But then another thought came to my mind, and that was that something had happened to the people here.

Thinking of this, I hurried to the wall and jumped into the yard. When I hit the ground, there was a mess all around, as if I had been through a fight.

I hurriedly looked to the side, and I spotted a figure in a corner. I hurried over to it, and I found that the person lying down was actually the rat who had disappeared behind me earlier.

"Mouse, how are you, Mouse?" I hurriedly looked at the mouse and shouted.

After hearing the voice, the mouse slowly opened his eyes, he looked at me and said with difficulty: "Dao...... Fellow Daoists, ...... quickly Hurry up and chase that ghost, he took away the souls of Zhang Yuan and the others. ”

"Which direction?" I asked hurriedly.

The mouse slowly raised his hand and pointed to the southwest.

"You wait here, I'll chase you." After saying that, I hurriedly ran towards the outside of the hospital.
