"Hey, what's this. Aren't more and more houses being built now? The last time I went to work part-time in real estate, I found that their house was built right in front of a grave mountain, but there were still a lot of people buying it. The boy next to the back of the head said.

"Yes, there is so much pressure to buy a house now, the houses in the city center are basically unaffordable, and if you want to buy cheap ones in the city center, there are only haunted houses, and now haunted houses are also very popular!" The other boy does.

Everyone else burst out laughing, instantly relieving the terrifying atmosphere just now.

Hua Lian laughed when he heard this, and suddenly felt that mortals are really interesting sometimes, and in order to survive, all kinds of circumstances can be overcome.

He still remembered that in the past, they were very taboo about this kind of house, and they didn't even want to live nearby, and even if one of the families in a village had a murder, the whole village would move out one after another.

But mortals don't care about that anymore.

A girl laughed and said, "Please, you can buy a haunted house?" ”

The deputy squad leader continued: "That's hard to say, it depends on how many stars the haunting level is, the higher it should be, the cheaper." ”

They were chatting happily in the stone house, and the big trees above them rustled by the wind, and for some reason, they suddenly stopped talking and fell silent.

They looked at each other, and they wanted to speak, and no one dared to speak first.

It's like a layer of window paper, no one wants to pierce it, but ......

"You ...... Did you hear me? A girl broke the silence and asked cautiously.

Everyone else nodded.

At the same time, they heard the sound of a child crying, as if they were crying miserably from a long distance, crying and gasping for air.

But they confirmed it when it was dark, and now they were the only ones here, and there was no one else.

"Do you want to check it out? Or pretend not to hear? One of the boys glanced at the others and asked.

"Why are you crying so loudly and pretending not to hear?" The girl retorted.

Everyone who cried was furious, but no one dared to take the initiative to say that they wanted to go and see it.

Mo Shuchen originally wanted to go, but he was afraid that if he left, so many mortals here would have an accident.

Hua Lian got up and said to Mo Shuchen: "I'll take a look." ”

"Be careful."

"Hmm." Hua Lian answered and floated out.

Hua Lian wandered around the overgrown clearing for a long time, and he didn't see anything, let alone the soul of a child.

But this clearing is really strange, what is it used for? Hua Lian actually felt a little dizzy when picking this open space, although it was very slight, but it made him feel uncomfortable.

He carefully followed the sound and searched again, and next to the mountain spring he saw a mountain demon, learning the cry of a child.

Hua Lian beat him up in anger: "What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Want to lure mortals over with a child's cry to eat more? Can you change your routine after so many years! ”

In fact, it's only about eight o'clock in the evening.

The mountain demon was blinded by Hua Lian, and the crying stopped, and the mountain demon trembled and wanted to run, but was trampled on by Hua Lian.

"Say! There is not a single soul here, have you eaten it? Hua Lian asked as he stepped on the mountain demon.

The mountain demon replied hoarsely: "No, it's not ......"

"Not? Then I'll cut you open and see if you have a soul. As he spoke, Hua Lian smiled wickedly and took out his sword.

The mountain demon looked at Hua Lian's saber in horror, and in order to save his life, he hurriedly spit out a soul.

At this time, Hua Lian's movements stopped, how could this child's soul look so familiar?

He thought about it carefully, this seems to be the child who climbed into the tent yesterday!

"Dead?" Hua Lian looked at this soul and didn't know why, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The mountain demon hurriedly shook his head and pushed the child's soul in front of him, allowing Hua Lian to take a closer look.

Hua Lian looked down and realized that this was not all the soul of the child, but only a few of them, and the child should be in a coma now.

"Okay, for the sake of you being so sensible, let you go this time, don't let me catch it, otherwise ......" Hua Lian condensed the child's soul into beads and put it away.

The mountain demon nodded obediently, then turned and ran.

Hua Lian returned to the stone house, gave the beads to Mo Shuchen and said, "That mountain demon should be crying in this child's voice, deceiving mortals to go over." ”

Mo Shuchen put away the beads, ready to wait for them to fall asleep and then run.

After hearing the children's cries, their discussion did not stop.

Xu Yu knew that the matter was settled, and began to say, "I think it may be a baby fish." ”

"Huh?"

"Isn't there often declassified programs on TV? It is the kind of cry that I hear a child crying in the middle of the night, and when I walk in, I find that it is a fish, which is a baby fish, and the fish has the same name. Xu Yu is serious.

"That is, it should be this kind of fish, the water quality here is relatively good, suitable for growth." This kind of answer is more reassuring than a ghost.

Originally, they wanted to try their courage here once, but before they tried it, they were already scared, so forget it.

They don't dare to say any more ghost stories, the atmosphere here is indeed a little weird, fortunately there are more people coming this time, or there are fewer people who may really be scared to death.

At about ten o'clock in the evening they began to feel a little sleepy, and after arranging a vigil, they went back to their tents to sleep.

Just left a small lamp in the middle.

Mo Shuchen left temporarily, leaving Hua Lian to look at these mortals, Hua Lian was lying on his side in the tent, looking at the people who were keeping vigil outside, and he felt funny.

This man protects others, he protects him?

However, it seems that it is not the first time he has done it to protect mortals, and he is used to this kind of thing.

Hua Lian yawned, a little wanted to sleep, but he was afraid that something would happen if he slept too much.

Xu Yu walked over from other tents, and saw that only Hua Lian was puzzled: "What about the master?" ”

"I'm out, I'll be back in a minute."

Xu Yu nodded knowingly: "That's good." ”

Hua Lian was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "What do you mean?" I can protect you without Mo Shuchen! ”

Xu Yu smiled: "Of course, of course! Lord Hua Lian is the best! ”

Hua Lian glanced at him: "I'm trying to protect you now, you mortals should be grateful." ”

"A must! Thank you Lord Hua Lian for your care! Xu Yu was also quite cooperative.

Hua Lian yawned again: "I'll tell you, something is very wrong here, it's better to leave quickly tomorrow morning." You mortals are fragile and short-lived, and you always like to drill into places like this. ”

"Because we are young mortals! Being young is impulsive and curious. Besides, I don't pay attention to feudal superstition anymore, and the suppression is quite powerful, but the more this happens, the more curious it is. Xu Yu explained.

"Yes......" Hua Lianhu wondered.

At that moment, the leaves above their heads rustled.

Hua Lian suddenly sat up and looked at his head vigilantly.

In fact, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves had been sounding all night, and Xu Yu didn't hear anything special.

Hua Lian looked outside and saw that the people who were originally in the tent were slowly coming out of the tent. He immediately went out of the tent to check.

Those people have their eyes open, but they are unconscious, as if they are sleepwalking, but how can more than a dozen people sleepwalk at the same time?

Even the one on the vigil seemed to be napping.

Xu Yu came out of the tent and saw them staggering towards the clearing, this scene was very strange.

"How...... What's going on? Xu Yu's frightened face turned white.

This is a truth that he suddenly understood, evil is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that everyone is evil, only you are fine.

"I've been caught in the illusion." Hua Lian frowned.

The men gathered in the clearing, and two boys pressed a girl and put the girl in the middle of the clearing.

One of the boys pulled a lighter out of his pocket, and the others knelt in a circle, kneeling and saying something as they spoke.

Now Hua Lian understood, he stepped forward and knocked everyone unconscious, and then asked Xu Yu to move back.

Xu Yu asked as he moved, "Lord Hualian, what kind of ritual does this seem to be?" He always felt like he had seen something like that on TV.

"You've probably heard of ancient sacrifices, right?" Hua Lian used a spell to move them back one by one.

"Yes!" Xu Yu nodded.

"This was supposed to be a place of sacrifice for the living, and there should have been a sacrifice not long ago, so I feel dizzy when I step on it." Hua Lian looked at the empty tunnel.

"But isn't sacrifice superstition? Does it really work? ”

"Mortal sacrifices are generally sacrificed to mountain gods in the name of sacrifices, but as long as they are gods, they will not accept this kind of worship, so those who sacrifice to living people are monsters, and monsters eat the souls of mortals sacrificed to fulfill their wishes, such as a good harvest and good weather." Hua Lian explained.

"But hasn't this place been abandoned for a long time?" Xu Yu looked at the others lying on the ground.

"The youkai who received the worship are still alive, and the altar is still there, as long as there are mortals here in the middle of the night, they will be bewitched, repeat the scene of the sacrifice back then, and burn each other to death." Hua Lian floated in the clearing, waved his hand, and pushed away the dense grass.

Covered by grass, there are also totems used for sacrifices, and stone altars that remain in the ground.

As soon as Hua Lian's words fell, the people who had just been knocked out by Hua Lian woke up again, still delirious, stood up in a trance, and began to walk in the direction of the altar again.

Xu Yu hurriedly grabbed the squad leader and shook him vigorously: "Squad leader, wake up!" ”

"It's useless, they won't believe it if they don't burn one or two people." Hua Lian said to him.

"Is there really no way for Lord Hua Lian?" Xu Yu couldn't even hold the squad leader.

"There's a way, burn it down. The altar is gone, and the sacrifice naturally loses its laughter. Hua Lian's palms burst into flames.

"Wait! No, Lord Hualian, if there is a fire here, we will all be imprisoned in the police station and sentenced! Xu Yu hurriedly stopped.
