When Jiang Shan heard this, he looked at Mu Chen with a confused expression, "That place is only fifty or sixty steps away from our camp, and there is only that dirt bag around, why do you want to mark it?" ”

The corners of Mu Chen's mouth rose slightly, and sure enough, it made sense.

"What do you think of?" Yan'er asked.

"Lin Shuang didn't cheat the corpse at all, nor did he crawl out of the soil, all of this is just someone making trouble and deliberately scaring us!"

"There is a problem with the air in that forest, although we always wear gas masks, but there is always time to eat and drink, so everyone must have inhaled some poisonous gases to a greater or lesser extent."

"That's why we all slept so soundly last night, and some people were able to dig holes without even noticing." Mu Chen had always thought that he was too tired, but now that he thinks about it, he rested for a long time on the boat yesterday, and there is no reason why he will be so sleepy at night.

"Didn't I say it just now, the corpse couldn't have been carried away!" Leng Ye interjected.

Mu Chen glanced at him, "I only said digging a pit, but I didn't say that he dug Lin Shuang's grave!" ”

All he had to do was level Lin Shuang's grave, pile it with fallen leaves, and then dig a pit of the same size not far away. There are trees everywhere in this forest, there is no obvious reference, and you have not marked it, so naturally you will think that the newly dug pit is the place where the forest is buried! ”

"When the man had finished it, he went back the way he came, and there was only one trace. And when we see that Lin Shuang's body is gone, we will naturally think that he has cheated the corpse, and the traces are left by him. ”

That makes sense, but why would this man do it? And how did he know about us? Old Man Qin looked disdainful, since the time they met, he had been looking at Mu Chen unpleasantly.

"This ······" Mu Chen naturally thought of this, but he hadn't figured it out yet.

"Hmph, be smart!"

This old man is very small, and the fat man always sings and harmonizes with him, Mu Chen is too lazy to quarrel with them, so he consciously shuts up.

Although he still didn't explain everything, Mu Chen's words were undoubtedly equivalent to giving everyone a reassurance. At least they knew that Lin Shuang didn't cheat the corpse, and there was no one in the vicinity who was not a ghost or a ghost.

The weather in the mountains was cloudy and uncertain, and now, outside there was already a strong wind and dark clouds, and finally, with a clattering thunder, the heavy rain poured down.

Although it is summer, the climate of Wugong Mountain is cold, and it is not very hot.

One after another, the lightning reflected the temple as bright as day, the candle flame on the table was blown by the wind, and the shadow of the stone statue also swayed.

Everyone packed up and was just about to lie down to sleep, when suddenly, there were two "bang" sounds, and someone knocked on the door! When Mu Chen was on the boat, he was tormented by a sound similar to a knock on the door, and when he heard it at this moment, goosebumps suddenly rose.

The others reacted in a similar way, all of them sitting up, pricking up their ears to listen to the movement outside the door.

"Bang bang" two more times. The sound was not loud, but it scared the people inside.

Although this is not a barren mountain range, at least it is a deep mountain and old forest, and it is strictly blocked and not allowed to enter at will, so the probability of meeting other people here is simply zero.

Mu Chen remembered the strange behavior of the villagers and the words on the note, could it be that here, there are often some terrible things knocking on the door at night?

Jiang Shan pointed to his mouth, and then pointed to the candle, and asked Yan'er if she wanted to turn off the lights and silence her.

Yan'er thought about it, but before she could speak, a gust of wind blew, and the four candles on the table were all extinguished!

The temple was plunged into darkness. No one spoke, not even the atmosphere dared to come out. On such a rainy night, hearing such a knock on the door, you can scare yourself half to death just by relying on your brain.

Mu Chen looked out by the light of lightning, but there was not even a ghost on the ancient door. Could it be that this man is squatting and knocking at the door?

"Bang bang!" "Help me!"

This time, in addition to the knock on the door, there were also slight cries for help. This person should be injured, and his voice is very weak, but in this environment, it sounds more like a ghost asking for a soul, which makes people's scalp tingle.

"Save Me ······"

Han Jinping couldn't hold back any longer, and said tremblingly, "Do you listen to this voice, do you look like it, do you look like Lin Shuang?" ”

With his words, everyone exploded. Before, because I was too nervous, and the voice was too small and weak, no one paid too much attention. But now listen carefully, isn't this Lin Shuang's voice!

"Lin, isn't Lin Shuang dead? Why are you knocking on your door here and calling for help? ”

"Yes, we didn't kill him, so he shouldn't have come to us even if he asked for his life?"

"Mr. Mu, didn't you say that he didn't cheat the corpse and didn't get it dug up?"

“······” Mu Chen swallowed his saliva, and he didn't know what was going on. Many of these people have been with Lin Shuang for a long time, and it stands to reason that they should not be wrong, could it be that their speculations are all wrong, he really cheated the corpse?

"What the hell is going on, just open the door and see!" Mu Chen stood up and walked towards the door.

"Wait, that note says you can't open the door!" Gangsan Road.

"The note said we couldn't speak, but we didn't say the same. Anyway, the rules have been broken, the bad is bad, and the bad is bad, so go and light the candle. ”

To be honest, Mu Chen is also scared to death now, but he just can't control his curiosity. He took a deep breath and slammed the door open.

I saw Lin Shuang, who was dirty, lying outside the door in a posture of knocking forward with one arm! His body had returned to its normal size, but it was rotting more violently, and under the rain, his face, which had been completely rotten, slowly turned into shredded flesh and fell to the ground!

Mu Chen was frightened "ah", and he couldn't slow down for a long time.

The others were also frightened, and after a while, Yan'er asked the body to be carried in. The corpse was rotting terribly now, and the slightest touch would drop the flesh down.

Leng Ye stared at Lin Shuang's head, which had basically turned into a skeleton, for a while, "You said that this meat is rotten, how did he come here?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but without exception, they were all far away from Lin Shuang's corpse. Although they used to be brothers, but now, no one dares to get close to him for half a minute.

Leng Ye sat next to Mu Chen, "Alas, fortunately, you haven't eaten all day today, otherwise you would have vomited again." ”

"Get out of the way." Mu Chen wouldn't tell him that he had begun to regurgitate.

"What do you think about this?"

"No view!" Anyway, I can't figure it out, anyway, whatever I say will be dissed, Mu Chen simply lay down and started sleeping.

Leng Ye forced him to say a few words, and when he saw that Mu Chen ignored him, he was bored, so he went to sleep. But this night, many people are destined to be unable to sleep.

After getting up the next day, Yan'er first asked Lin Shuang's body to be reburied before taking everyone to the village. This is two more days than planned, and it is indeed necessary to replenish food and water.

There is a big difference between the village during the day and at night, with smoke curling and people buzzing, so lively. Strangely, the people of this village did not seem to reject the living, and the group walked through the village, and no one even looked at them a few times. Contacting the motorcycles that can be seen everywhere, Mu Chen muttered in his heart, it seems that this village is not the same as he imagined.

After a long round of inquiry, everyone said that they had not seen the boat boss. Only then did everyone relax, find a villager, and show the fake certificate of the expedition team that had been fully purchased a long time ago, and asked them to help get some decent food.

Where can the eldest sister distinguish between a halal certificate and a false certificate, as soon as she saw the red official seal, she immediately believed it ten out of ten, and she was very enthusiastic about them, and immediately went to cook.

Sitting in the yard drinking tea, the eldest sister's son ran back, a teenager who looked very smart.

"Who are you, and why are you sitting in my house?"

Yan'er took out a few pieces of chocolate from her bag and handed them to him, "Little friend, we are from the expedition team, what is your name?" ”

"My name is Xiaohu." The child was not afraid of people, so he took the chocolate and sat directly next to Yan'er. "What does the expedition do?"

"Well, you'll know when you grow up." Yan'er smiled, "Auntie asks you a few questions, okay?" ”

"Well, you ask, I know a lot."

"Why do you people here turn off the lights and go to bed so early?"

As soon as he heard this, Xiaohu immediately became mysterious, with an expression of a very terrifying big secret, "Because after the unitary time, the centipede immortal is going out!" ”

"Centipede Immortal?"

"This centipede immortal is fierce, it will knock on everyone's door, if anyone doesn't sleep, or whose children are disobedient and cry all the time, they will be caught and eaten!"

Hearing this, Mu Chen almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water. I really can't imagine that the centipede immortal enshrined in this temple is actually the role of a dormitory aunt.

At this time, the eldest sister came out with the dishes, "The child doesn't understand anything, don't be surprised if you talk nonsense!" ”

"Eldest sister, do we really have centipede immortals here? Last night, we came to stay, but none of the villagers dared to open the door. Yan'er asked with a smile. Although this may sound like a fool of a child, since there is such a custom here, and everyone strictly abides by it, I am afraid that it is not completely groundless.

The eldest sister had a look of sudden realization, "Oh, it was you who knocked on the door last night, but it scared me." ”

"About the centipede immortal, in this village, there is indeed a saying that he will go out to ask for an offering after the unitary time, knocking on someone's door means asking for it, once the door is opened, sounded, or the light is on, it is considered to be willing to worship, and the centipede immortal will take away the soul of this person within seven days!"

"Wait a minute," Mu Chen noticed that something was wrong, "you're not from this village?" ”

The eldest sister smiled, "Of course I'm not, the people of this village have died a long time ago!" ”
