When Xia Guo came back to his senses from the coldness, he was already standing beside him in the middle of the night, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xia Guo looked at the night that had returned to normal, deliberately took a step back to widen the distance between the two, and replied, "No, it's nothing." ”

Xia Guo suddenly felt that it was a very hasty act for him to come here late at night.

There is the tiger in the night house in front of him, and there is the hungry wolf in the middle of the night, and his own sheep is sandwiched in the middle.

However, looking back, why did the Ye family have to be against themselves? I didn't offend the night family.

Although Han Qian reminded herself to be careful late at night, she hadn't done anything to hurt herself after so long at night.

It's that I'm too suspicious.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Guo followed in the footsteps of Seon.

In the middle of the night, he took a step slower and walked behind the two people.

The three of them walked together, and under the leadership of Se Weng, they bypassed the Taoist temple and walked to the rear of the Taoist temple.

Xia Guo only found out at this time that there was a small path behind the Taoist temple, which led crookedly to the forest.

Seon walked the trail first, followed by Xia Guo and Late Night.

In fact, at this time, if you look closely at the steps of the selder, you will find that it is not the same as the stride of ordinary people, ordinary people walk, their feet are the same, and they have their own habits, either the heel hits the ground first, or the toes land first.

And the footsteps of the night are very strange, his right heel is on the ground, but his left foot is on the ground, the force of the two feet is completely different, one light and one heavy, if it is a person with poor body coordination, he can't take this kind of step at all.

Even if you have good physical coordination, it takes years to get used to taking this kind of step naturally.

And Seon's steps are brisk, and he walks effortlessly with this kind of step, thinking that he has been practicing for many years, or has been practicing since he was a child.

Previously, the night from the Taoist temple could quickly walk to the car in the middle of the night, relying on this kind of step.

This kind of step is called the yin and yang step, one foot on the yin, one foot on the yang, you can take the road of the yang, you can also borrow the road from the underworld.

It is the basic method of shrinking the land of the night family.

This kind of small detail, Xia Guo can't pay attention to.

But in the middle of the night, he wrote it down, he had the memory of night delusion, this kind of earth shrinking technique can be seen at a glance, he not only remembered the route he had taken, the scenery he had passed, the forks he had skimmed, and even the strength of each step of Seon's descent into the ground, all secretly remembered in his heart.

The three of them walked for a while, and Seon suddenly stopped.

He walked to a tree, stood still, and waited for the summer to pass and the night to pass.

"After a while, you follow the old man and I around, don't go around the wrong way." Seon asked.

When both of them agreed, Seon began to circle the old tree, seven steps clockwise and seven steps counterclockwise, before walking to the tree directly opposite.

Although Xia Guo muttered in his heart, he still followed Se Weng around, and when he walked near the tree directly opposite, he felt that his eyes suddenly blurred.

Subsequently, Xia Guo saw a different scenery.

Earlier, the three of them were in the dim woods, and they walked a few steps around the tree, and then walked forward, and when they reached the opposite tree, they saw no more than the forest they had just seen.

In other words, the forest is still the same forest, but it is very different.

The reason why Xia Guo can feel the difference in an instant is because of one point.

Bright.

In the forest just now, it was only dimly lit by the moonlight, and it was almost impossible to see the nearby scenery, but now, Xia Guo could clearly see that a lamp was lit not far away.

It's the kind of paper-made lantern that Xia Guo has been seeing in costume films, lamps like that, one after another.

Lit up the entire forest.

But obviously, just now, from the trees in the circle, it looked like it was all dim.

How could there be so many lights all of a sudden?

Xia Guo wanted to ask but didn't want to ask, and at this time, he was behind him late at night.

Se Weng spoke again, "Little friend, from here on, you have entered the gate guarding array, you have to follow closely, don't fall behind, otherwise the old man will not be able to take you into the house tonight." ”

Xia Guo could only quickly nod and say yes.

It was the first time he had seen such a formation, since it could be so magical.

The gate guarding array is very large, and outsiders come and go, even if they know the correct route, they have to walk for three days and three nights.

When a companion came to visit, Seron had to accompany outsiders on a three-day and three-night journey.

There are several resting points in the formation, and they have to stay in the rest points, and when they have rested enough, when the time comes, they will continue to walk.

Time-consuming, physically demanding.

The purpose is to protect the safety of the Yejia's ancestral home.

Also to show the strength of the night family.

However, because the night is the night family, and Xia Guo has the guarantee of the night night, so the night directly took them to the inner road.

The inner road was fast and close, Xia Guo felt that he had only passed a few dozen trees, turned a few corners, passed some forks in the road, and came to a clearing.

In the clearing, there were only two stone beasts standing, different from the kind of stone lions that Xia had seen in the past, I don't know what kind of beast it was, and the face of the stone beast was particularly strange.

Generally, stone beasts either look in the same direction, or look at each other.

These two stone beasts, one facing Xia in the middle of the night, and the other facing the other stone beast.

Look closely, there are still strange things on those two stone beasts.

The stone beast that faced the summer night deep had seven round holes of the same size on its two front legs.

The other, inlaid with seven identical spheres in the same position.

Se Weng looked at it, sighed and said, "Which one came back to the ancestral house and actually walked the inner road, so it will take a little effort for us to go in now." ”

Xia Guo stood in place, he didn't dare to move, he was always afraid, and if he didn't pay attention, he touched something.

Taking advantage of Seon's efforts to study the stone beasts, he secretly leaned over and asked the night deep, "You said, there are many corpse chasers in this mountain, so will we meet them?" ”

"Encounter something." In the middle of the night, his attention was all on Seon, and he was afraid that he would miss any details.

"Walking corpses? And the corpse chaser? Xia Guo lowered his voice and asked.

"No, it won't." Late at night decisively answered.

"How not? Doesn't it mean that this mountain is a resting place for corpse chasers? Xia Guo was curious again.

"What age, there are cars and planes, and who still drives corpses now." The night deep hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and his tone was a little sarcastic.

Xia Guo said "oh" at this time, and he was still a little disappointed.

He was eager to see what the corpse chasers were like, and how they managed to get the corpses to stand up and walk.

Before the conversation was over, Seon moved.

He had just calculated the hour, looked at the position of the moon, and calculated the position of a few stones, and now he was sure that he could open the mechanism.
