Hearing me say this, Li Huaishan's eyes immediately widened and stared at the oil lamp on the table.

The expression on his face became very deliberate, obviously nervous, but only made a look of surprise.

Li Huaishan is strong in front of me, I have learned this outside the canyon, and the nervousness vaguely revealed from his face at this time seems to show that since Li Huaishan has been in the old man's house for so long, he should not have seen anything like evil ghouls, so his psychological tolerance for similar things should be very poor.

Looking at Li Huaishan's expression, I frowned, and then said to him tentatively: "This old mansion, I'm afraid there are a lot of dirty things." ”

Li Huaishan was stunned for a moment: "Dirty things? What is Dirty? ”

Of course he understood what those three words meant, and now the surprise on his face was gone, only nervousness remained.

I sighed helplessly, and said to Li Huaishan: "The Qi field in this place is seriously silted, and you, if you don't see some things, you will inevitably feel uncomfortable, so you remember, no matter what we see in the old village, we must stabilize our minds, the more chaotic your heart is, the easier it is to grasp the Tao of those things." Didn't the second master teach you some mantras for meditation? Repeating it in your heart often can put you at ease. ”

Li Huaishan was still stiff-mouthed: "What are you talking about, when did I get nervous!" I'm not nervous if you're nervous. ”

I ignored him, took out the yang thread, gossip money, Chen rice and Han Ya from my backpack, stuffed the Han Ya into my pocket, wrapped the yang thread with the gossip money in my hand, and finally divided the Chen rice into two parts, one on Li Huaishan's body, and the other in my jacket pocket.

Li Huaishan took out two grains of old rice and looked at them: "What is this, is it to eat?" ”

"The old man's special old rice can help you resist the evil spirit." As I spoke, I unzipped up my backpack and placed it near the head of the bed.

Li Huaishan stretched his neck towards me: "Hey, if it's not, you say, is there something wrong with this old village?" ”

I said, "Of course there is a problem, and it's not a small problem. ”

Li Huaishan: "I see that you have been preparing for such a long time, are you planning to go out to explore?" ”

I shook my head: "The two of us have been on the mountain road for so long, and we have no physical strength, so we will take turns to rest first." I took out my teeth just in case. ”

Before I said this, Li Huaishan had already taken off his shoes and was going to lie on the bed, but as soon as he heard the words "take turns to rest", he sat up straight again and raised his chin towards me: "You sleep first, I'll stare at it for a while." ”

I took two bottles of water out of my backpack and threw one of them to Li Huaishan: "My physical fitness is better than yours, and I am not as tired as you." You go to sleep first, and I'll call you in four hours. ”

As I spoke, I glanced at my watch, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Huaishan is indeed almost at the limit, when he entered the canyon just now, I felt that his knees were almost not bent when he walked, and it was estimated that as long as he bent down, he would fall directly to the ground.

His body was clear to himself, and Li Huaishan didn't shirk it anymore, and immediately lay down and fell asleep.

Li Huaishan has a great advantage, he sleeps, almost never snores, and even the sound of breathing is very soft.

When he fell asleep, the room was very quiet, except for his slight gasp, except for the occasional crackling of the burning wick.

At first I didn't think it was anything, but as time went on, it became more and more wrong.

These bamboo buildings are very old, and the clay that was originally fixed to the walls has fallen off, revealing large patches of bare bamboo, and in some places there are even gaps through the walls.

The building in front of me is not a special case, and when I walked around the front road, I noticed that every house along the road was so dilapidated.

It is said that the sound insulation effect of a wall like this is very poor, and Li Huaishan and I live at the end of the second floor at this time, and through the gap in the north wall, we can see that there is another bamboo building two or three meters away.

The two buildings were so close to each other, and the soundproofing was so poor, that I couldn't hear the slightest movement from the other side of the building.

I put my ear to the north wall to make sure, but I couldn't hear anything except the occasional sound of the wind in the canyon.

After that, I opened the window a little bit more and listened carefully to the movement outside.

Except for the wind, it is dead silence.

Could it be that the inhabitants of this place never speak, do not walk around the house, and spend their days in such silence?

What's the difference between living like that and dying......

Thinking of this, I finally understood that this stockade was abnormal there, and there was no anger - in this village, there was not the slightest bit of anger.

The so-called anger can also be simply understood as vitality, which is the unique breath of a living creature, just like if someone is standing in front of you, even if you close your eyes, sometimes you can know that the other person is standing there, and this is because you feel the anger in his body.

But now the feeling in this village is like I am standing in the dark with my eyes closed, and I can clearly hear a clear sound of footsteps in front of me, but I can't be sure what the footsteps are coming from, whether they are from a living person or something else.

Sun Chuansheng said, let me be careful of those locals who behave strangely, but in my opinion, the people who live there are not necessarily people.

Thinking of this, I was a little nervous myself, so I silently memorized the gossip song in my heart, and drew the gossip hexagram in my mind one by one.

When my mood calmed down, I locked the doors and windows, leaned back against the corner of the bed, and carefully watched the movement outside.

Four hours later, I woke up Li Huaishan and asked him to guard first, and I slept for four hours.

Before going back to bed, I also specially told Li Huaishan not to fall asleep again, and to wake me up as soon as possible if there was a situation.

Seriously, I don't trust him at all, in the past eight months, when I often practiced in the morning, I found that Li Huaishan didn't fight half a set of punches, so I stood in place, motionless, walked over and took a look, only to find that this guy was actually asleep.

Standing up and sleeping, this can be regarded as one of Li Huaishan's unique skills, and he was very energetic in boxing one second before he fell asleep, and suddenly fell asleep the next second, which is really incredible.

But I have no choice but to trust him now, after all, I am also tired after walking for so long on the mountain road.

Also walking the mountain road, Li Huaishan can sleep well every night, but it is difficult for me to fall asleep in the wilderness, I always have no sense of security, and I always feel that wild beasts may appear in the second half of the night.

In eight days, I slept less than twenty hours combined.

At this time, I was lying on the bed, although only one side of the bed was against the wall, but fortunately, the area of the room was not large, and I felt at peace, and I quickly closed my eyes and entered a state of awakening and sleeping.

I knew I hadn't fallen asleep yet, but my head was so heavy that I was almost detached from the waking world.

Click, click, click......

At that moment, I heard the sound of the water hitting the iron plate again, but before I could make a closer look, I fell into a deep sleep.

In the past, I almost never dreamed, but today I don't know what's wrong, not long after I fell asleep, I began to flash a mess of dreams in front of my eyes, and those dreams were like a slide that moved very quickly, only appeared once, and disappeared from my eyes before I could see the picture clearly.

What's even weirder is that when I saw this scene flashing quickly, I knew that I was asleep, and I knew that I was dreaming, but I couldn't wake up, and I didn't plan to wake up.

When the image stabilized, I felt my lips hot and dry, and my throat felt as if it was on fire.

I was standing in the middle of the desert as far as the eye could see, the sun was pouring down from the sky, almost melting me, the air was hot and dry with the yellow sand, and the heat swept up a small amount of coarse sand, which fell on my face, and then slowly slid down and stuck to my sweaty neck.

I knew it was a dream, but it was all real.

I tried to pull out the sunken soles of my feet from the sand, but I found that I could not exert any strength, and I covered my eyes with my hands, and looked towards the sky, a goshawk flew over my head, but when I turned my eyes to it, it disappeared from my sight out of thin air.

At this moment, the sand dunes under my feet shook violently, and then, the earth seemed to suddenly begin to shrink rapidly, and the sand dunes that were a few hundred meters away from me suddenly came to me, but I didn't move at all.

When the dunes came to me, I experienced a brief period of darkness, and then I saw the rapidly moving clouds in the sky, and the large sand dunes that were moving rapidly towards me. It was a moment of darkness as if my body was walking through the sand dunes.

The dunes and clouds were moving faster and faster, and my vision was soon unable to adapt to such speed, and all the scenery around me was stretched into a continuous flow of lines by this extreme speed, and I began to feel dizzy and wanted to vomit, but my throat was so dry that I couldn't vomit at all.

Now I really want to wake up, but in the dream, my body and nerves seem to be out of my control, those sandy yellow, blue, white bright streamlines are still moving fast, I can only stare at them, I feel like my brain is about to be torn apart.

Click, click, click......

At this moment, the sound of the water hitting the iron plate appeared again, sometimes near and sometimes far away, as if there was nothing.

It only appeared for a short time, and when it disappeared, the fast-moving sand dunes, blue sky, and white clouds in front of my eyes disappeared with it, and the world in my dream was dark.

I thought I would see something else in my dreams next, but I didn't have a chance, and a rapid tremor from my back woke me up.

I sat up from the bed with a snort and looked under the bed.

I saw that the foot of the bed and the ground shook rapidly for a short time, and it took about four or five seconds before it completely stopped.

Okay, why did you suddenly get an earthquake?
