Although the way gold can restrain evil is to listen to what Sister Hong said, it is not very reliable.

But it is said that it is the method taught by the head of the Blood Knife Sect, and it is still somewhat credible.

Lu Yuan played with the gold-wrapped finger cuffs in his hand, feeling the coldness coming from the back of his neck.

"That thing doesn't perceive my strength getting stronger, is it scared?"

Walking aimlessly through the mountains and forests, after walking for about an hour, Lu Yuan unexpectedly came to the side of the mountain road near Chongshan City.

......

"Master Ji, if we continue to rush at night, will we encounter danger?"

At night, the mountain road was eerie and terrifying, and from time to time there was a rustling sound in the depths of the forest, and a large number of birds and beasts were alarmed by the inexplicable sound.

The towering canopy on both sides was luxuriant, and the moonlight shone in for a while, adding countless shadows of swaying branches to the ground, like ghost hands dancing with their teeth and claws.

The caravan drove non-stop, and several men accompanying them led their horses with torches, and pulled heavy goods behind them, all of them yawning in misery.

At the front of the caravan, there was a warrior on a tall horse, looking at the entourage who had just asked loudly with a cold face.

"Danger? What danger can there be in this wilderness, not to mention that it is night, even the bandits are asleep! ”

Hearing this, many of the entourages were muttering in a low voice, "Yes, the bandits are all asleep, we are still on the road, we have eaten a meal in one day and one night, and now we are hungry and sleepy..."

The caravan set out from Xueshen Town in the morning and traveled all the way through the mountains to Chongshan City.

The entourage, who had just opened his mouth to ask if he would encounter danger, said: "Lord Ji, I didn't mean bandits, isn't Chongshan City not peaceful recently, I heard that there are evil acts, but they are very fierce than those bandits." ”

"Jokes, how can there be evil in this world, it's just rumors, who have seen it?"

Ji Sinian laughed, his face full of disdain.

Then he urged: "Work hard, strive to arrive in Chongshan City before dawn, this batch of medicinal materials is very important, now the entire Chongshan City is short of medicinal materials, it can definitely be sold at a good price!" ”

"Yes!"

The crowd replied weakly.

At this very moment...

The torches held by several of the attendants flickered and went out.

A cool breeze blew, and the atmosphere became a little eerie.

Many people in the team were taken aback, and the speed of moving forward slowed down a lot.

"Damn, where did the wind come from!"

Ji Sinian scolded angrily, "Don't worry about the torches, the moon is very big today, and you can't rely on the moonlight to travel!" ”

However, as soon as his words fell, in the darkness on both sides of the mountain road, there was a sudden sound of "duh" sobbing.

The sound was intermittent, as if coming from all directions, and it looked eerie in the silence of the night.

Wow –

The caravan was suddenly in disarray, and many of the retinue were so frightened that they shrunk into a ball.

"Don't panic, don't mess up the formation!"

Ji Sinian roared, and although his back was furious by this strange cry, he still pretended to be calm and explained:

"Listen to me, it's supposed to be a bird's call, or an animal like a bobcat in heat."

This explanation is a bit far-fetched, but it has somewhat stabilized the morale of the military.

After all, the unknown is the most frightening.

The caravan quickly continued to move on, much faster than before.

Everyone walked forward with their heads bored, for fear that they would be swallowed by the darkness behind them if they walked slowly, and if they weren't still pulling the goods, they couldn't wait to run directly.

When he crossed the mountain road and came to the official road, the sobbing gradually faded away, and Ji Sinian breathed a sigh of relief.

"How do you feel like it's getting darker..."

He looked up at the sky, and the night sky was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

It was a full moon night, and the night was full of stars.

And it's a little too quiet all around...

The cicadas can't be heard.

The croaking of frogs disappeared.

Even the footsteps of the entourage pulling goods behind him could not be heard.

It was as if he was isolated from the world, and the thick night was like an opaque ocean, enveloping him.

"Gollum—"

Ji Sinian swallowed and looked back.

The caravan that had been following him disappeared as if it had never existed.

Creepy, hairs stand on end!

"What about people?!"

"Anyone!!"

His voice trembled, and he cried out into the darkness in the distance.

An ominous premonition enveloped his heart, and Ji Sinian slammed the brown-haired horse under his crotch.

And the usually docile horse did not move, and stood as stunned as a sculpture.

"Damn!"

Ji Sinian whipped down, and seeing that the horse was still not moving, he turned over and dismounted directly to check the situation.

It didn't matter if he looked at it, the horse's gaze was like a human eye, staring at him with a hint of inexplicable mockery in his eyes.

"you!"

Ji Sinian was so frightened that he kicked it over, and directly kicked the horse out two meters away.

When the horse landed, as if alive, it galloped into the darkness, leaving him alone.

And in the darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes lit up, slowly approaching him.

"Damn it!"

Ji Sinian's brain buzzed, and he ran in the direction of the eyeless one.

After running wildly for a few minutes, he saw a small village in the distance.

The village is lit with white lanterns, and there seems to be a figure flickering in the alley.

"Great, saved!"

Ji Sinian's eyes lit up, and a trace of ecstasy for the rest of his life surged in his heart.

He stumbled into the village and ran towards the light.

However, the next moment, the originally bright and transparent white lantern suddenly went out.

When it lights up again, it's already a slightly festive red.

A gust of wind rose out of thin air, making Ji Sinian, who only had the late cultivation of the ninth grade, a little unstable.

He was at a crossroads at this time, and seemed to sense something, looking to the other side.

Suddenly!

His pupils shrank suddenly!

I saw a very festive greeting team appearing, playing gongs and drums, so lively.

Carrying the sedan chair are "people" with pale faces as paper, their faces distorted and deformed, and their faces are smiling.

There are words in his mouth, and he keeps humming tunes that make his scalp tingle.

The most frightening thing is that the sedan chair does not look like it is carrying people at all, but more like a huge coffin!

The coffin was tied with bright red embroidery, and it was carried by those sedan chairmen who did not look like people, and came slowly.

Ji Sinian's legs were weak for a while, and his whole body trembled like a sieve, and he couldn't move.

When the greeting team approached, he saw the appearance of those palanquin men clearly, and his mouth opened wide instantly.

That face was very familiar, and it was the caravan attendant with him!

"No!"

Ji Sinian screamed, regained sensation in his legs, and ran for his life like crazy along the way he came.

"I should have thought of it, I don't know how many times this road has been walked, where is there a village in the barren mountains and mountains!!"
