I stretched out my hand, took out the cigarette case from Li Huaishan's trouser pocket, and took out a cigarette to light it.

Li Huaishan looked at me with wide eyes, as if he was asking me how he knew that he had a cigarette hidden on him.

Not only did I know that he had cigarettes on him, but Yan Yanan should also know it.

When I was grounded, this guy ran to the toilet in the middle of the night every day to smoke secretly, and the smell couldn't be cleaned all night.

But it's hard for Li Huaishan, who followed me for such a long distance, and was able to endure the addiction without smoking a single cigarette.

I took a long puff of smoke and asked the old man, "How do you want to help me?" ”

He used his hand to drive away the smoke I blew past, and put on a very impatient face: "Wait until the night of the full moon, I will take you into the Yin Village, as for whether you can find the Netherworld Treasure, it depends on your own creation." ”

I glanced at him: "What about the conditions?" ”

He also squinted at me: "What conditions?" ”

I said, "You're not going to help me for free, are you?" ”

He pondered for a moment, but finally avoided my question, and just pointed in the direction of the door: "There is a well outside, which contains grain and meat, you two will live with me first, on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, I will come back to you." ”

With that, he walked out the door quickly.

I stood in the room, looked through the large open wooden door, and saw that the old man's steps seemed to be very hasty, and once because he was in a hurry, the tip of his left foot hit his right heel, and he suddenly stumbled and almost fell.

Li Huaishan also turned his head to look out of the door, and it wasn't until the old man got into the bushes that he turned around and asked me with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong with him, it's like running for his life?" ”

I couldn't give an answer to this question, so I just shook my head and asked Li Huaishan again: "Do you think this old man is credible?" ”

Li Huaishan thought for a while and shook his head: "It's not credible, I always feel that when he speaks, he ...... A little ill-intentioned. ”

I looked at the bright moon outside the door and fell into deep thought.

After eight months of confinement in the West Hall, I read a lot of books, but I still feel that I am too immature.

I still don't know what my situation is so far, I guess if it was the second master, he would have figured out the situation in the village, and he knew what he should do next.

But I, even if I don't trust the old man, can only wait here for him to come back.

How should I get into the Yin Village, should I take Li Huaishan back to the village to see the situation, whether the old man's words can be believed, how many points can be believed, I don't have a score in my heart.

At this time, Li Huaishan suddenly asked me: "What is the human corpse he said?" ”

He finally asked a question that I could answer.

I spat out the smoke and said to him: "I have seen this word in the classics of the old family, the so-called human corpse, that is, half human and half corpse, they do not enter the five elements, do not enter reincarnation, are abandoned by the mandate of heaven, and can only live in the yang world in a muddy way, until the heaven and earth change greatly, and the yin and yang are reversed, and they can be liberated." ”

Li Huaishan stuck out his tongue: "What kind of great change, what do you mean?" ”

I said, "It's the end of the world." ”

Li Huaishan's heart was big, and with an "oh" sound, he walked towards the bed, seemingly planning to sleep, so I quickly grabbed him: "I can't sleep here." ”

"If you don't sleep here, where are you going to sleep?"

I didn't talk nonsense to him, I directly pulled him out of the house, went to the forest to find a big tree, first let Li Huaishan climb the treetops, and then walked around the neighborhood to confirm that there was no abnormality, and then jumped up to another thick treetop.

Tonight, this tree is our bed.

Since entering the old forest, in order to prevent wild beasts from sneaking attack, we have slept on the tree almost every night, Li Huaishan has a strong adaptability, lying on the treetops, and snoring within a few minutes, but I can't sleep, so I sit up straight against the trunk of the tree, and my eyes have been staring at the wooden house in the distance.

This night, the old man did not come back, and when it was almost dawn, there was a slight tremor on the ground, if it weren't for my quick hands, Li Huaishan almost fell from the five-meter-high treetops.

There was indeed a dark well next to the hut where a large amount of food was stored - brown rice and some meat.

Whether the old man could be trusted or not, at least what he ate was normal, and most of the meat in the dry well was snake and rabbit meat, and there was also a small amount of bird meat.

Ever since Li Huaishan saw the dead baby in the kitchen, he had lost interest in meat, only eating brown rice, and ignoring the meat I had worked so hard to bake.

Two days later, that night, it was darker than usual, and the old man had just left the eastern horizon as soon as the full moon had left.

He seemed to have just experienced a great event, and when he came, he was refreshed, and his steps were much lighter than usual.

As soon as he came to me, he hurriedly spoke: "Tonight, all the corpses have gone to the waterhole, and they will be bathed in the moonlight essence to relieve their pain, and they will not return to the village until noon tomorrow." ”

I tugged at my cuffs, blocked the yang line and gossip money on my wrist, and said simply, "Let's go." ”

The old man turned to look at the rising full moon and smacked his lips: "Before noon tomorrow, you two must leave the Yin Village, even if you can't find the Netherworld Treasure, you must leave ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was another shock on the surface.

The magnitude of the earthquake was not large, and the duration was short, but there was an expression of extreme horror on his face.

Li Huaishan asked him with a lot of mouths: "What's wrong?" ”

He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead: "It seems that the underworld is going to take away this chrysalis in the near future." Alas, don't talk about these useless things, let's get out of here. ”

Despite that, he still stood there, looking at me motionless.

I was very puzzled by this attitude, so I threw an inquiring look at him.

It took him a moment to understand the meaning in my eyes, and he lowered his voice and said to me, "After you enter the Yin Village, don't touch the layout inside. ”

I habitually scratched my temples, didn't speak, and walked straight to the bushes.

The old man took two steps and overtook me.

As he led us through the bushes and back to the main road leading to the canyon, I heard a heart-rending howl coming from the direction of the waterhole.

All the yin should know that the law of the underworld cannot be violated, but these people still risk turning into human corpses, and they are fighting against the underworld for their own selfish interests.

How much magic does that little ghost money have that can make people paranoid to such an extent?

I turned around and glanced in the direction of the waterhole, where the blood-colored firelight gathered like a large blood mist, slowly drifting towards this side of the canyon.

The old man urged in front: "Don't rub it in." I let out a long breath and walked quickly towards the edge of the canyon.

As I climbed down the valley wall, I noticed that the old man had changed his clothes today, but the fragrance of the last years of the Qing Dynasty on his body had not diminished in the slightest.

When we came to the bottom of the valley, he took us to Song Baoshan's hotel, and went straight to the kitchen after entering the door.

In this kitchen, there is still only a mud stove, but the dead baby bottle that used to stand on the stove is gone.

The old man removed the cauldron pressed against the stove, and then refilled the lantern into the well.

Through the yellow light emitted from the lantern, I saw a round stone lid directly below the pot well, and a large number of snake sigils were also engraved on it.

"Condense a mental power and inject it into the stone cover." The old man turned to me.

My mental power is mixed with the evil energy of the ancestors of the family, and now I have a black bronze medal on my body, I don't condense my mental power, no one can sense the evil energy on my body, but once I condense it, the evil energy will inevitably be released, and my identity may be exposed.

Thinking of this, I immediately beckoned to Li Huaishan.

Li Huaishan understood, quickly approached the stone cover, condensed a little dispensable mental power, and injected this mental power into the stone cover.

The old man wanted to stop Li Huaishan, but Li Huaishan's movements were too fast, and as soon as he reached out to stop it, the stone cover that had been added to his mind shook violently, and then, those snake-like lines emitted a scarlet faint light.

I deliberately took two steps back, stretched out my head to look at the door of the building, and saw the same color of light shining through the crack in the door.

Li Huaishan grabbed the edge of the stone cover with both hands and pulled it hard, and the 100-kilogram stone cover was directly pulled out of the pot well by him.

Underneath the stone cover, there is a dark hole, deep and dark.

I pointed to the hole and asked the old man, "Is it a village from here?" ”

As I spoke, the old man still looked at Li Huaishan with frowns, and it took a moment before he came back to his senses: "There are two entrances to the Yin Village, this entrance is for the living, and the other is for the human corpse. If you have the life to leave the Yin Village, you must take this path of life, if you take the road of corpses, no one knows what will happen. ”

While speaking, he handed the lantern to Li Huaishan: "You opened the door, you come to hold the lantern to guide the way, no matter what happens during the period, you can't drop this lantern, let alone give the lantern to others." ”

Li Huaishan took the lantern: "Aren't you going down?" ”

The old man immediately showed a playful smile on his face: "I am a Yin Receiver, and I am only responsible for leading the Yin Difference to the right path, as for whether he can find the Netherworld Treasure, it has nothing to do with me." ”

I pushed Li Huaishan from behind: "Go in." ”

Li Huaishan didn't ramble anymore, jumped into the hole, and I climbed into the pot well, shrunk and drilled into the hole.

Before entering the cave, I turned my head and glanced at the old man, Li Huai Mountain was so deep that the fire could no longer illuminate the old man's face, but I always felt as if he was smiling at me.

Smile sympathetically.

Connected with the entrance of the cave, is a tunnel that extends straight downward, the air in the canyon is humid, but the tunnel is unexpectedly dry, the friction of the soil wall on both sides is very large, I followed behind Li Huaishan, supported the soil wall with the outside of the soles of my feet, moved a distance of about ten meters to the bottom, and heard Li Huaishan shout below: "The bottom is empty, and the fire does not shine to the end." ”

I immediately took out my flashlight and shot a light directly below, and the light passed through Li Huaishan's side, casting a spot of light that was not big or small at a position about five meters below.

Li Huaishan retracted his legs and fell directly.

Boom!

When there was a muffled sound of landing below, I also fell down the tunnel.

After landing, I immediately raised the flashlight and shone it towards the tunnel overhead, and I saw that the beam of light had traveled more than ten meters and cast a point of light above.

It seemed that the stone cover was pressed back against the entrance of the cave.

Li Huaishan may not have been buffered when he landed, and at this time he was constantly rubbing his calves, with a grinning expression on his face.

I shone my flashlight at him, "Are you alright?" ”

Li Huaishan waved his hand at me: "It's nothing, it's just that the momentum is a little big when it lands." Hey, I said, why do you believe that old man's words so much, he lets you go into the hole, and you go into the hole, and you don't test him first. ”

I slapped into the darkness on the left and right sides, and responded to Li Huaishan: "Of course I don't believe him. It's just that the voice that appeared in my dream a few days ago seems to come from here. ”
