The master took out the cinnabar box, pinched out a small pinch of cinnabar and sprinkled it on the ground.

After the cinnabar hit the ground, it immediately became violently turbulent as if it was blown by a strong wind, first forming a cinnabar barrier that circled rapidly, then was scattered by an invisible force, and then gathered together to form a sand barrier, and so on.

Qiao Sanye glanced at the cinnabar on the ground, and his brows suddenly twisted into pimples.

But at the moment, the third master didn't dare to make a sound, and leaned in front of the bushes again, looking in the direction where the figure was.

The row of figures fluttered through the vegetation and finally into the shadows of the trees, disappearing without a trace.

It wasn't until the cinnabar was no longer turbulent that Qiao Sanye beckoned to everyone and signaled to continue on his way.

Later, we encountered the same situation several times, and each time Qiao Sanye would discover the abnormality in advance and take us into hiding.

Approaching night, Qiao Sanye found a dead tree with the heart of the tree hollowed out, and beckoned everyone to get in through the cracks in the tree.

The top half of the tree had been truncated, and the empty heart was three or four meters wide enough for everyone to shelter in, and sitting at the bottom of the hollow and looking up, you could see the blackened canopy of another tree, and it felt like sitting in a courtyard surrounded by only one.

The Master pasted a row of spiritual runes along the crack of the tree, and then lit the ghost candle and lit it for everyone by the candle flame.

It was also when the firelight lit up that Qiao Sanye breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is really not a place where living people can stay, just those old ghosts we met today are one by one, Lao Du may not be able to suppress it if he doesn't do his best." ”

These words were said to me and Lu Shengcai.

Lu Shengcai looked up and asked my master: "Grandpa Du, I remember that you didn't say before that the people of Shejia Valley invited you to come to the town of the evil gods." ”

Master was observing the situation outside along the crack in the tree, and after a while nodded in response, "Yes, there is such a thing." ”

Lu Shengcai asked again: "Is it the evil god that is more difficult to deal with, or the ghost thing here is more difficult to deal with?" ”

"Evil God." Master returned to the middle of the tree and sat down: "In order to eradicate the evil gods here, I almost gave up my life. Although the evil god is strong, there is only one, the thousand-year-old ghosts here are not easy to deal with, and there are extremely large numbers, once I make a move in the jungle, the other old ghosts will be aware of it, and once we are surrounded, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Hey, Grandpa Du, you said, the people of Shejia Valley are not even afraid of the ghosts in the black forest, why can't they deal with an evil god?"

"The ghosts here are very special, they have been roaming in the black forest for thousands of years, but they have never left this place, but they have formed a natural barrier, so that people outside cannot enter Shejia Valley. In addition, they do not leave the forest and are harmless to the world, so no one has taken care of them for so many years. ”

"Why is this, it is said that the old ghosts who have reached a yin age of more than a thousand years have a heavier desire to kill, even if they are unwilling to leave the black forest, Shejia Valley is so close to the forest, they have never gone to Shejia Valley to ask for their lives?"

"This is the special thing about the black forest, as far as I know, those old ghosts in the forest have never been able to get along with the flower fairies in Shejia Valley, ghosts, living people, with the edge of the sea of flowers as the boundary, do not affect each other, do not interfere with each other."

"Then how can the people of Shejia Valley go out, after all, the surrounding area of Flower Valley is blocked by such a forest."

"In the northwest direction of Shejia Valley, there is a Tianzhan that has no intersection with the forest, which is the only entrance to Shejia Valley, but only the people of Shejia Valley can walk. For the people of Shejia Valley, Tianzhan is a way to live, but for us outsiders, Tianzhan is a ghost gate that is lifeless! ”

Lu Shengcai shrank his neck, as if he was a little frightened, and closed his mouth sullenly.

At midnight, there was a yin wind blowing outside the dead tree, and the opening on the top of the tree was like a whistle, and when it was blown by the wind, it would make a piercing sound, and Lu Shengcai and I were so shocked that we couldn't sleep, Qiao Sanye sat in front of the tree crevice to keep vigil, and the master lay on the ground, holding his hands in his arms, and his eyes didn't open, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or not.

Lu Shengcai got up from the ground and came to Qiao Sanye's side, it seemed that he wanted to chat with Qiao Sanye, as soon as he arrived at the crack in the tree, Qiao Sanye spoke: "If you can't sleep, you have to sleep, close your eyes, empty your brain, even if you can't sleep, you can rest a little." ”

"The wind is so loud, I really can't sleep, as soon as I close my eyes, I think about Yunshang. If only people could go without sleeping. Lu Shengcai said sullenly, and went back to his place to lie down.

I didn't expect Qiao Sanye to speak again: "Don't say it, there are really people in this world who don't sleep." When I was young, I knew a great person, what was his name...... I can't remember, I just remember that the person's surname is Wu, this guy is neither cultivated nor from Wuyantang, but that method is first-class and powerful. ”

"His name is Wu Lin, and he is a mercenary who has been wandering overseas all year round." My master didn't know when he sat up, and said: "When I formed a team with Qiao Laosan and him for a while, this person is extraordinary, no matter how powerful the evil cult is, he can't stop him, he can kill the corpse alone, relying on a dagger. ”

Qiao Sanye turned to look at my master: "When did you wake up?" ”

"With such a big wind whistle, how can I sleep." Master sighed, and continued the topic just now: "This Wu Lin is even more mysterious than the black-clothed monk who appeared in the territory of the country back then, when he teamed up with us at first, he still hid his strength, and he couldn't even kill a bronze armored corpse, so that for a long time, we thought he was a chick. Later, I still heard Zhang Zhenren say that this Wu Lin appeared in the industry as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, and when we teamed up with him, he was already over 100 years old, but he still looked like he was in his twenties. ”

Third Master Qiao didn't seem to know as much about this person as my master, and he was also shocked at the moment: "He's so old?" This guy has no cultivation, why is he more than a hundred years old, and he still looks like a young man? ”

The master shook his head and said, "No one can find out the details of him, not even Zhang Zhenren, so I said that he is mysterious." But I remember that when we first met the corpse, Wu Lin seemed to have been broken in the chest by the corpse...... It seems to be like this, far away, I didn't see it clearly, only saw that his chest was deflated, and his clothes were full of blood, but he was still able to move as usual, and after killing the corpse, there was only blood all over his body, but there were no wounds. At that time, I suspected that he might be immortal. ”
