Chapter 175: Dan Lingzi's Secret

When the gem's cool glow vanished, the entire space went dark.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu held their breath at the same time, as if they were two stones, without any movement.

All of a sudden, it became extremely quiet, and from here, one could hear the sound of footsteps outside.

There should be someone outside in that room.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu didn't know if they were exposed, so they had already prepared to attack and escape at any time.

For example, Ning Hongyu in front of him, with a demon knife in his left hand, and a very thick water talisman in his right hand.

She doesn't mind catching the other person off guard at the beginning.

On this side, Ji Que took out a stack of fire talismans.

Anyway, Fu can't be sold now, and he doesn't mind cooperating with the female Shangfeng to give the other party a double heaven of water and fire.

I have to admit that even though the two of them have experienced many battles and can be regarded as old fritters, after seeing the evil nature of this Taoist temple, they still can't help but get nervous.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps approached the direction of the cave, and the changing light and shadow of the cave entrance could be faintly seen from here.

But the footsteps stopped in front of the cave, and after standing for a while, they left.

It wasn't until another period of time that Ji Que and Ning Hongyu let out a long breath.

They couldn't help but glance at the stone tripod again, and felt more and more that the texture on the tripod was like the wrinkles on the face of an old man, with an ominous meaning.

But they couldn't see anything, so they went back to the ground.

The dilapidated room is still unobstructed.

It's just that unlike before, in the corner of the room, there is a small dirt bag.

The bag was only the size of a palm, with fingerprints on it, and it looked like a small grave.

That guy just dug a small dirt bag here?

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu guessed that it was very likely that the one standing here just now was Dan Lingzi.

This long void has always been only him and Chen Li, after Chen Li eats, he is usually sweeping the floor, and he should not come here.

Dan Lingzi came here just to pile up this dirt bag?

But what's the point?

However, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu knew that the matter here could not be inferred from common sense at all.

It's getting late, and there's always a feeling of insecurity standing here.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu knew that they couldn't stay here like this anymore.

The two quickly climbed over the wall.

In the pit below, they forgot the passage of time, and it was only then that they realized that night was coming.

The sky became darker and darker, and the sound of the wind whined and blew through the wild forest, making it look a little hideous, and sometimes the sound of a big bird flapping its wings came, which seemed gloomy and strange.

It's as if something terrible is about to come out of this dense forest.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu no longer hesitated, turned around and turned back into the mezzanine of the room.

This place is like a safe house for them, and when they get here, they feel a little relieved.

However, this peace of mind is only relative, and the thought of the lonely stone tripod they saw in the empty house and cave before always makes their hearts chill.

Nothing, but more eccentric than a room full of pot-bellied elk.

After such a full day, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu had realized that tonight's Viewer Chen Li was very likely to have a similar change in the evil sect as last night.

All the weirdness seems to start with Chen Li's dinner.

From the moment he started eating, everything became eerie.

They have been peeping here for almost two days, and they seem to have some clues, but in fact, they are still some distance from the truth.

The elk with a big belly seemed to grow out of the ding, and every time Dan Lingzi led them to feed Chen Li, it didn't look like an apprentice serving the master, but more like a sacrifice?

What is the identity of Chen Li, a fairy, a monster, and an evil one?

Everything in this long void view is like a layer of fog, which makes people unreal, and occasionally reveals a cloud of phantom, which gives people a creepy horror.

Maybe they need more clues to get closer to the truth.

For example, where did Dan Lingzi go last night? What was the point of the oil lamp he was guarding carefully?

Ji Que communicated with Ning Hongyu and made a decision, that is, if a similar situation happened again tonight, they would follow Dan Lingzi to see what was going on.

They felt that they were not far from the truth, and this feeling was like a pearl on a beach looking for the truth, and they had found a few beads, but there was still a thread to connect them.

But for some reason, the more they get to this point of approaching the truth, the more uneasy they become.

In the courtyard, Chen Li, whose beard was full of blood, was still sweeping the ground not only slowly, but Dan Lingzi should be in the main hall.

Tonight is no different from last night, but it is this resemblance that makes people feel absurd.

If they hadn't gone to the cave today and saw the ding, and they came back from outside, I'm afraid they would have thought they were trapped yesterday.

Install the latest version. 】

That feeling, how to put it, they are like the only change in this temple.

The night was getting thicker and thicker, and the strange sounds of the night appeared all around again.

Suddenly, Ning Hongyu didn't move, and restrained his breathing, and Ji Que, who noticed this, quickly held his breath.

Compared with last night, there is a cold moonlight tonight, and the entire Taoist temple will not be dark.

And because of this, Ning Hongyu, who was only one eye but had excellent eyesight, saw the changes in Chen Li.

Moss appeared on his neck, wrapped around it like a twisted snake, I don't know if it was because he kept sweeping the floor or for some reason, Ning Hongyu even felt that the moss was alive.

It's like countless tiny earthworms, attached to Chen Li's body and gently moving.

And what made her even more vigilant was that she noticed Chen Li's gaze.

Although he had been sweeping the floor there, as if he had been immersed in the matter as before, but in fact?

Ning Hongyu felt that he was sneaking around from time to time, and even glanced at them several times, revealing a sinister smell under the cold moonlight.

This guy also looked at it like this yesterday?

As a result, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu had to be cautious.

Halfway through, he knew that in addition to them, there were only two people, Dan Lingzi and Chen Li, but the two would still look behind them from time to time.

It seems that in this hidden mezzanine, a third person will be drilled.

This feeling is very bad, because this mezzanine can be regarded as a "safe house" in Ji Que's heart.

Safe houses aren't safe, that's enough to break down.

In the middle of the night, the light came back on.

You don't have to think about it to know that it's Dan Lingzi.

Dan Lingzi was dressed in a cyan robe, holding an oil lamp in his hand, carefully guarding it, and from time to time he glanced at Chen Li, who was sweeping the floor, and looked like a thief.

Or rats, like rats sneaking in front of cats.

The muddy smell in the air became stronger and stronger, and in Ning Hongyu's eyes, the Chen carp sweeping the floor became more and more insidious.

She even saw him smiling there.

With a squeak, Dan Lingzi came to the house again, nesting in the same place as last night.

The sound of sweeping the floor had already stopped, and Ji Que even felt that it had stopped a little earlier than last night.

The thick muddy smell passed down the splint, and Ji Que didn't need to look to know that Chen Li was here.

There was a thud, and this time the wooden door was pushed wide open.

The night breeze crept in, whining like a ghost.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu only felt that the air here had become a lot heavier, and it was very depressing.

This change is not just psychological.

This can only show that this Chen carp's aura is very strong.

This time, Chen Li was obviously deeper than last night, and it was easier to spot Dan Lingzi and them hiding in the mezzanine.

The three of them didn't dare to take a sip.

"Squeak!"

A black mouse crawled along the splint and climbed onto Ji Que's neck, but Ji Que didn't move.

And what made this mouse even more excessive was that it actually jumped near Ji Que's belt, and Kacha took out a silver ticket with a bang.

Ji Que continued to endure and remained motionless.

After the mouse gnawed the silver ticket, he spit it aside, jumped on top of Ji Que's head, and gnawed on his hair.

Ji Que still didn't move, even though he had always been very prejudiced against mice.

When Ning Hongyu looked at him worriedly, he even showed a very stiff smile.

In some ways he is professional, unless he can't help it.

After that, the mouse seemed to feel bored, jumped off Ji Que's head, and drilled down.

The moment the mouse landed from the mezzanine, it seemed to suddenly sense a great danger and squeaked to escape, but its voice stopped abruptly.

The next moment, Ji Que saw Chen Li walking back, and the mouse that he wanted to peel off and cramp and roast and eat was sticking to Chen Li's body.

The moss that covered him quickly writhed like an earthworm and burrowed into the mouse's eye socket and mouth.

In less than a few breaths, it becomes a part of the "moss" on Chen Li's body.

This is quite a terrifying scene, which at least proves that Chen Li has the ability to "infect others".

But Ji Que's impression of him has changed a little.

Anyone or anything that can kill rats is a plus for him.

The more cruel, the better.

After that, there was a little bit of fire below.

Just like last night, Dan Lingzi quietly opened the window and left the room.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu winked, and the two of them slid out of the splint like two fish, and also jumped out of the window.

The wind here is always strong at night, and the trees in the wild forest shake violently, and it seems to be very lively for a while.

When it came out, the sound of the big bird flapping its wings and the crying of a child became more and more obvious.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu each held weapons in their hands and looked around, for fear that something was approaching.

And in front of them, there was a faint light swaying in the wind.

The flame seemed to be extinguished at any moment, but it faltered, but it never went out.

Dan Lingzi walked with the light of the fire, and walked in a hurry.

But he didn't go very fast.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu followed behind, and the two quickly left the range of Changxuguan and entered the forest outside.

The forest was overgrown with grass and trees, and the moonlight could not penetrate it.

When Ji Que first came, Dan Lingzi told him that he had to leave this forest before dark, presumably there must be something terrible hidden in this forest.

The forest was very dark, and there was still a white mist, and even Ning Hongyu's eyesight could only see a distance of about three zhang in front of him.

In the white mist, sometimes there was the sound of a child crying and a big bird flapping its wings, sometimes very close, sometimes distant.

In order to avoid exposure, both Ji Que and Ning Hongyu adopted a swimming posture.

With the wind blowing the wild grass, they hid their figures, and they were always able to catch the traces of Dan Lingzi.

The light of the fire, though faint, was the only source of light in the room.

Suddenly, the bodies of Ji Que and Ning Hongyu, who were swimming, suddenly stagnated, and a white bone hand with feathers suddenly came out of the fog in front of them.

As soon as it stretched forward, it was about to grab Dan Lingzi's neck.

Dan Lingzi suddenly noticed it and looked back.

The moment the oil lamp in his hand was projected, the hand suddenly retracted.

Under the reflection of the oil lamp, Dan Lingzi's face turned yellow, as if coated with a layer of wax.

Or rather, it's as if it's a layer of wax, and the sweat on the face is wax oil.

At this moment, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu couldn't tell whether the other party was a human or a ghost.

What makes them even more alarming is that there is indeed dirt in this forest.

They couldn't help but press their bodies even lower and keep up again in a swimming position.

This time, they were even a little closer to Dan Lingzi.

At this moment, Dan Lingzi suddenly stopped, and then walked to the right side, hiding behind a tree.

Ning Hongyu and Ji Que just wanted to keep up, but they found that the fog in front of them suddenly moved.

They immediately stopped, as if they were one with the weeds on the ground.

After that, the two of them saw a lot of people, and a lot of voices came to their faces.

These people were very emaciated, covered with bones, with their mouths wide open, and they kept saying something, with an indescribable sense of horror.

But the most numbing thing is the way they travel.

They are wrapped together.

Yes, it was a huge ball of flesh made up of many of these scrawny people.

The ball of flesh was as tall as a few floors, and these people melted together as if they had been poured, and some of their bodies were still writhing on the surface, like strange earthworms.

If the meat ball in front of you is made up entirely of human bodies, then there are thousands of people.

The ball of meat rolled, passing by Ji Que and Ning Hongyu.

At that moment, an earthworm presumably spotted them and let out a cry, but soon his voice was drowned out by the voice of his companion.

The huge ball of human flesh left and disappeared into the mist, and Ji Que and Ning Hongyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If this thing is encountered head-on, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to deal with.

And most importantly, they don't know how many of these unheard-of evils are still in the forest.

Soon, the fire in front of him moved again, and Ji Que and Ning Hongyu hurriedly followed.

You can see that the light is getting darker and darker.

Finally, the two saw the single-plank bridge.

In the night, there was fog fluttering on the single-plank bridge, and the water below was not real, as if some behemoth was swimming.

From here, it really looks like a ghostly bridge.

However, Dan Lingzi crossed the bridge without danger, and Ji Que and Ning Hongyu hurriedly followed.

But when he swam to the middle of the bridge, Ji Que suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Aji, why are you here?"

The sound came from under the bridge, and it was like Tang Yi's voice.

Ji Que couldn't help but look down, but at this moment, his chin was suddenly held by a beautiful hand.

Ning Hongyu held his chin and said with a look in his eyes: "Don't look, go directly!" ”

The single-plank bridge has finally come to an end.

Ji Que looked back at this time and found that this single-plank bridge was unremarkable, and the same was true of the water below, which was completely different from the feeling just now.

At this moment, Ji Que really had the illusion of walking from the ghost realm to the world.

Ahead, Dan Lingzi was still walking.

Ji Que soon found out that they had come to the vicinity of Dan Lingzi's grave.

Dan Lingzi walked to Dan Lingzi's grave, how to think about it, there was a creepy feeling.

In the sight of the two, Dan Lingzi passed by the tombstone that read "The Tomb of Dan Lingzi Chen Yu".

He went into the depths of the barren grass.

After that, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu only felt that they had fallen into an absurd nightmare.

Behind this, there are many, many graves.

On the tombstone in front of the tomb, the words "Tomb of Dan Lingzi Chen Yu" are all written.

Even if these graves were not dug up, Ji Que knew that they might all be buried in Dan Lingzi.

Exactly the same Dan Lingzi.

At this moment, Dan Lingzi was holding the oil lamp in his hand and walking between his graves, with no emotion on his face.

The sky was white.

Dan Lingzi in front didn't move.

Then he suddenly knelt there, in front of his grave.

The next moment, the oil lamp in his hand went out, and his whole body was completely motionless.

Ji Que saw it in his eyes, and there was only one thought in his heart - "He's dead." ”。

He looked at Ning Hongyu, who nodded, confirming his thoughts.

Dan Lingzi is dead.

Dan Lingzi held the oil lamp, came all the way from Changxuguan to here, came to his grave, and died.

And then what?

For a while, it was difficult for Ji Que to describe his feelings, he felt like he was trapped in a ridiculous nightmare and didn't wake up.

But Dan Lingzi was indeed dead, kneeling there motionless, his eyes had lost their lustre.

And the direction of his eyes before he died was to look at them.

Did he perceive them?

But what about after that?

For a while, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu looked at each other a little and were terrified.

They thought they would find some key clues when they came here, but now the thread is broken.

At this time, the two of them had time to observe the tombs.

Yes, the words engraved on them are the same, and you can even feel that they are from one person's handwriting.

But the tombstones are not consistent, some are larger, some are smaller.

Suddenly, the two of them lay on their stomachs in the grass at almost the same time, holding their breath.

The sound of shredded footsteps came from the weeds.

Someone's coming!

The sky was white, and the grass was dark among the tombstones.

Ning Hongyu and Ji Que held their breath and condensed, prostrate on the ground, silently observing everything.

Then, they saw a man.

Dan Lingzi.

Dan Lingzi came from the wild grass and stood in front of the dead Dan Lingzi....
