The underground passage in the small attic is very deep, and the walls of the cave are not very regular, and you can even see clear footprints on it, as if someone kicked it out with his foot.

In fact, it was indeed kicked out by Mrs. Zhao.

Who would have thought that there was such a place hidden in the underground where strange fates had happened before.

This place is really hidden, just in the thatched house in the backyard, and the smell is not light, so that Ning Hongyu, who is good at finding mechanisms, ignores it.

The two black-robed men lay on their stomachs in the narrow passage, constantly descending, and the speed was extremely fast.

It didn't take long for the passage to bottom.

A cave-like stone chamber came into view, and from here, you could even hear the sound of underground water flowing by.

But it was indeed airtight, and there was no other entrance.

The whole space was very dark, and at this time, a cluster of flames slowly rose.

It was an oil lamp, which was originally placed inside, and it should have been left by Mrs. Zhao before.

In the shaking flames, you can see that the stone chamber is a little damp, with moss scattered on the cave walls, and some withered vines hanging in some places, some of which are gloomy.

At the bottom of the stone chamber are rows of wooden shelves.

The wooden shelves were old, but sturdy, and there were brown jars on them.

When the light of the fire approached the jars, the surface of the jars suddenly became transparent, as if they were separated by a layer of water.

At the same time, an even more bizarre scene appeared, and in the almost transparent jar, human faces appeared.

If Zhao Zhutou from Qingping County was here, he would definitely recognize these faces.

There are tailors Zhao here, and there are also old friends of the county order, basically all of whom were bizarrely drowned in the dye vat before.

They were all soaked in these small jars, like kimchi in the Shu family's house.

After seeing the firelight, they all had terrified expressions on their faces, and from here they could also see that they were gone, or rather, their bodies were full of legs, just like Mrs. Zhao that day.

One of the black-robed men swept the swarthy shelf with the light of the fire and muttered, "I didn't expect there to be a lot of stock." ”

Recently, only a few dozen people drowned in Qingping County due to "accidents", but there are hundreds of jars here, which can only be said that Mrs. Zhao has some savings here.

】

At this time, the black-robed man who did not hold the lamp snorted, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened one of the jars.

There was a sound in the jar, as if a snake was swimming inside.

Immediately afterwards, the black-robed man opened his greedy eyes and lifted out the "person" inside.

It was Tailor Zhao who was brought up, and he saw that his entire body was grabbed like a noodle, and his face was covered with a desperate and terrifying expression.

The next moment, only Kacha was heard, and he was put into his mouth and chewed.

The black-robed man's eyes turned yellow, as if he was enjoying the pickled vegetables that had just come out of the altar of the Shu people.

His mouth shook, and the remaining half of Tailor Zhao's body was also sucked in.

After eating, the black-robed man couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Seeing this, another accomplice frowned and said, "What is delicious about fresh, this long soul has to be fermented for many years to taste good." ”

The black-robed man shook his head and said, "No, I just like fresh." ”

As he spoke, he opened another jar next to him.

When the fourth can was eaten, the accomplice of the lantern pressed his hand and said, "Don't eat it, be careful to die." ”

After that, he also went to the deepest part of the wooden frame with greedy eyes.

For him, these things are like wine, and the older he gets, the more valuable they become.

......

Ji Que's hosiery business is doing very well, but it still can't change his constant bad luck.

For example, one of his biggest worries now is his house.

The house by the river was the second property he came to Tianren City, and it was his first investment, who would have thought that the house collapsed first, and then the house was repaired, and it fell out of an abyss-like hole.

Originally, this house was empty and abandoned, and he was angry enough, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident in that house.

In the recent days, there will be some inexplicable voices in the abyss, as if someone is talking below.

This voice always appeared in the middle of the night, and it frightened many neighbors in the neighborhood.

As soon as the news of this happened, the residents of the neighborhood couldn't help but panic, and later, the nearby street shops were affected, and business deteriorated.

No, today a neighbor specifically found him and said that he wanted to compensate.

Ji Que said with a confused face: "My house is all abandoned, can I still be compensated?" ”

The neighbor didn't get along well at first glance, and said, "I'm angry with the surrounding neighbors, and everyone thinks it's your problem, and this kind of thing has happened in your house, why isn't it your problem?" ”

"You can watch it, otherwise you will wait for the lawsuit, there are people above me."

Ji Que originally wanted to solve the problem, but when he heard the other party's tone, he couldn't help but say, "That's okay, I'm waiting for the lawsuit." ”

Hearing Ji Que suddenly say this, the neighbor was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect this man's attitude to become so tough all of a sudden.

"Let me tell you, you are the one who is unlucky in the end in the lawsuit!" The neighbor couldn't help but say.

Ji Que nodded and said, "I'm waiting for bad luck." ”

The last thing he fears in this life is bad luck.

The next day, the neighbors gathered a few neighbors and really wanted to go to tell the season.

As a result, when they left the yamen, they all had a painful face.

The people who can live by the river are either rich or expensive, and they have a background in the city.

They had also checked Ji Que before, and they knew that the other party was a socks seller, and the business in the city was doing well.

But now there are ten clothing shops in the city, and nine of them are selling socks, who can control him.

Who would have thought of the yamen, they knew Ji Que's other identity, once a great hero in Tianren City's rescue operation, not to mention the county order, even the major sects had to give him face.

The neighbor who came to the door before said with a painful face: "But head catch, it's not a matter to put that thing there, let alone doing housing prices and business, I'm afraid it's not safe." ”

The head catcher nodded and said, "So you have to communicate well, Ji Shaoxia is professional in this kind of thing." ”

"Got it." The middle-aged neighbor said with a deflated face.

Yesterday, he was clamoring to send Ji Que in, but today he came to the door with someone carrying a gift and smiling.

"Ji Shaoxia, misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Ji Que glanced at him and ignored him.

The neighbor said cheekily: "Shaoxia, yesterday I was blind and offended you, but this matter is related to the safety of the neighbors, please solve it." ”

Ji frowned and said: "This matter really needs to be solved, according to the reward of the Demon Suppression Building, it will be less than 1,000 taels, and I will receive 500 taels." You pay two hundred and fifty taels, and the other neighbors pay the remaining half, and that's it. ”

"Okay, you have to pay half, or else please be smart."

"I'm ...... the"

After all, the middle-aged neighbor's scolding words did not come out, and he did not dare to come out.

As soon as he went out, he was instigated by his companions to give him money at once.

The middle-aged neighbor said with a painful face: "For the sake of our own house, do you also share a little?" ”

"Don't dare! Don't dare! Ji Shaoxia said very clearly, you have to give two hundred and five, if he finds out, what if this matter is over? ”

"Besides, two hundred and fifty taels of silver, you can save it by gambling a few times. You can't watch this house become worthless and dare not live in it, right? ”

In the end, the middle-aged neighbor only gritted his teeth and gave two hundred and fifty taels.

With five hundred taels of silver in his hand, Ji Que was quite satisfied with himself.

Relying on years of experience, he still has a little ability to turn mold into treasure, no, he got a subsidy of five hundred taels of silver.

In fact, after the neighbor came to the door yesterday, Ji Que went to the cave to briefly investigate, but he didn't get anything.

There should be other space down there, and you have to ask the female peak for help.

But it just so happened that the female Shangfeng went to Qingping County, because the socks were sold too well, and the supply was not available there.

Late at night, Ji Que came to the big pit.

The rumored late-night sound didn't appear at this time, as it wasn't very regular.

Thinking that Ning Hongyu would not be able to return in a few days, he decided to investigate again.

The small wind lantern that had been prepared for a long time was held in his hand, illuminating the darkness below a little.

It can only illuminate a little bit, because the pit is too deep and too big.

Ji Que hasn't been here for a long time, and found that this pit is a little wider than before?

The true qi in his body was running, and the whole person walked on the cave wall as if he were walking on the ground.

In the dark night, there was silence all around, except for the sound of the soles of his shoes stepping on the walls of the cave.

The thatched hut that fell down before is still there.

Ji Que continued to go deeper, only the light of his wind lamp in the darkness, and for a while, there was an illusion of being the only firefly in the darkness.

After some time, he stood at the bottom of the cave.

Like last time, there is still nothing to discover.

Looking up from here, you can see the dark canopy at the entrance of the cave, giving people the feeling of being in a well.

Ji Que decided to leave because he didn't have any clues, like a headless fly.

Just as he was walking in the middle of the section, a very soft voice suddenly came, and Ji Que's eyes couldn't help but froze.

The sound was very erratic, like an echo that constantly echoed in the cave, and it was hard to hear.

However, as long as the sound is always there, you can finally feel the general direction by the obviousness of the sound.

And Ji Que's luck is good, the voice has been continuing.

At first, Ji Que thought it was just a person's voice, but the more he listened to it, the more strange it became, and he always felt that it was a number of men and women chatting.

The chat was also quite weird, the content was not clear, the voice was high and low, sometimes it seemed to be laughing happily, sometimes it was like cursing others gloomily.

If ghosts could talk, that's probably what they would feel.

Ji Que began to understand why the neighbors around him were afraid, because the voice did give people a creepy feeling.

It's like a bunch of ghosts in a constant communication somewhere.

"Ghost City?"

Ji Que couldn't help but think of these two words.

Because it is only in the ghost market that there are so many voices.

And relying on this continuous sound, Ji Que gradually touched the position of the sound.

It was about ten zhang away under the thatched hut.

There, the voices have become so distinct that they are whispering in your ear.

In the middle of the night, in this dark pit, a group of "people" do not listen to whispers in your ears, but you can't hear what they say clearly, which is undoubtedly a rather strange thing.

Ji Que always felt that something was blowing on the back of his neck, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

It's an instinctive human reaction.

Ji Que instinctively felt a little scared, but he was a person who could abandon his instincts.

To put it another way, it is a person who can abandon timidity and get rid of some of the low-level tastes.

He was knocking around and finally spotting an anomaly.

He slammed his elbow into the wall of the cave, and the sturdy-looking wall suddenly sank, and he poked it with his finger to find it a little wet, and poked it again......

After a few pokes and tricks, a hole appeared in sight.

A dark wind blew down the hole, and the sound became more and more pronounced, as if an evil spirit had rushed out of it.

For this kind of thing, Ji Que has a lot of experience, and as soon as his body shrank, he got into it.

The cave found is not deep, and there is no sign of man-made excavation, as if it had been formed by natural weathering.

After walking dozens of steps, the hole has bottomed out.

After that, the scene in front of him broke Ji Yuan's expectations.

There had been no signs of the cave had been excavated before, but now it was a house.

More precisely, it is more like a cave that the monks transformed through a natural cave.

He stood in a cloister with a pool of clear water in front of him, and an unknown purple tree growing in the water, very elegant.

At the top of the cave, the huge fireflies emitted a faint green light, making the entire space shrouded in a miserable green, which was a little terrifying.

Ji Que continued to walk in according to the voice, and found that the corridor was actually very long.

The glow of the fireflies is green, and the walls of the cave are red, and even some of the stone slabs that are laid on the ground are red.

Ahead, a corner appeared in the cloister.

Ji Que walked over, and stood there the next moment.

Behind the corner of the cloister was still the cloister, but in an instant, countless gushing blood rushed from the end of the cloister, as if to drown him.

The next moment, a butterfly flew out in front of Ji Que's eyes, and the blood that surged out suddenly disappeared.

He rubbed his eyes and wondered, "Illusion? ”

Ji Que continued to walk, and there was only a small house at the end of the corridor.

From here, the house is so small, with a bamboo curtain hanging at the door, which is very reminiscent of a thatched house.

It was from there that the voice came.

Ji Que stood in front of the curtain and hesitated for a while.

His breathing became a little heavy, and he felt that the air was a little sticky.

He had the illusion that as long as he lifted the curtain, the bloody picture he had seen before would become a reality.

But Ji Que still slowly lifted the curtain.

There was no blood gushing out of the curtain, he saw only one person.

A man who sits on a recliner, digging his nostrils and shaking his feet while snoring in his sleep......
