Twenty or thirty meters away as far as my eyes could see, figures appeared.

Each of those figures seemed lifeless, and in the darkness there was a chill that was palpable to be felt, and they gradually came towards me.

Every step felt like stepping on my heartbeat.

Although there is not a single sound.

But I still couldn't help but swallow.

Hyakki Night Walking.

It's a term I'm actually quite unfamiliar with.

There is no record of this in the vein of sacrificial wine, and the reason why I know about it is only because the popularity of the Hyakki Night Walk is really high.

In the world of ordinary people, some ghost legends often mention the night walk of a hundred ghosts.

There is a saying that in the middle of July, the ghost door is opened, and a hundred ghosts walk at night.

It is said that on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the ghost door will be opened, and the ghosts will take advantage of that time to come to the world, thus forming a grand occasion of a hundred ghosts walking at night.

In this case.

Do not enter the living.

Because even if the ghosts that appear are only the most ordinary ghosts, as soon as the number increases, the yin qi will reach an extremely vigorous point, and ordinary people will be contaminated with a little bit, and they will flourish and yang will decline, and finally die under the influence of yin qi.

Merely......

There is still some time before the 15th day of the seventh lunar month.

How did this happen?

Just as I was wondering, the figures suddenly stopped, and I noticed that they didn't seem to be coming in my direction, but the City God Temple.

This scene suddenly reminded me of a possibility.

After all, Chenghuang is a yin god.

The main purpose of the city god guarding a city is to prevent ghosts from affecting the lives of ordinary people, as long as the city god is there, it is basically difficult for ordinary ghosts to appear under his nose.

This is one of the reasons why it is basically difficult for ordinary people to encounter ghosts, and even think that there are no ghosts in this world.

And now.

The city god has been weakened to the extreme, coupled with the five ghosts taking advantage of the void, so that the entire Baiyun Town can be said to have lost the protection of the city god at this time.

In such a situation.

Even if the ghost door is not opened, it is not impossible for those ghost things that originally did not dare to appear openly because of the existence of the city god to come out with great fanfare at this time.

This is a good possibility.

Soon, these ghosts gave me the answer.

They walked directly into the temple without any hindrance, and I could only hear the barking of a lame dog, and the rest seemed to be in another world.

At this time, I didn't care about sitting and watching the world, looking for a way out of this fog-like situation, so I followed quickly into the City God Temple.

At this time, the countless ghosts had surrounded the entire City God Temple, and the City God Temple, which was supposed to be a ghost thing not to enter, seemed to have suddenly become a paradise for ghosts at this moment, and it was full of ghosts' murmurs and roars.

But the strange thing is that when I was in them, they didn't even look at me as if they didn't see me.

But I also found a little bit of it.

That is, although they are gathered in this temple of the City God, they seem to give me some pain and fear, as if they came here and it was not their true intention.

Just when I felt strange and couldn't figure out what the situation was, there was a sudden warm feeling from the blank Five Ghost Diagram.

I hurriedly took it out, and sure enough, at this time, there were five figures looming on this picture, and those five figures were obviously the true faces of the five ghosts.

Hideous, greedy wolf, terrifying.

At this moment, I understood all at once.

This is actually the real reason why the old man, that is, the city god, gave me these five ghost pictures.

At this time, I seem to be in this fog and can't see the real situation here, in fact, the five ghosts can't find me either.

And all I have to do is ......

For the city god, open the real guillotine sacrifice.

As long as the severed head sacrifice really starts, even if it is incomplete, the city god can change his life for a short time, not to mention the five ghosts at that time, even if these ghosts are not enough for him to solve.

It's just that the real guillotine sacrifice must be opened.

In addition to having someone in charge of the sacrifice, in such a situation, I also need to find the souls of the nine corpses.

Because of the beheading offering that I am going to do now.

It's a soul sacrifice!

Thinking of this, I also admired this Chenghuang a little more, after all, even I didn't think of this method at the beginning.

Soul sacrifice is a sacrificial method with extremely high difficulty and conditions for performing in the sacrificial wine vein.

First of all, the person who sacrifices the wine, that is, the soul needs to leave the body, and then the person who receives the sacrifice cannot be a living person, but also a dead person.

Even the sacrificial things.

It must also be a dead thing.

In the ancient court, only when the royal relatives and nobles returned to heaven, they would let the sacrificial wine use this risky sacrificial method, in order to hope that those royal relatives and nobles could also get a real life after death and obtain preferential treatment from the underworld.

I'm not sure if this will work, but the soul sacrifice does exist.

It's just that it also reminds me of one thing.

That is, nine times out of ten I am now out of my body.

That's why those ghosts have seen me, but they don't have any interest in me, because I'm the same kind as them now.

This makes my whole person feel bad.

I'm still so young.

You won't be killed by this bullshit Chenghuang.

I thought this city god was quite amazing before, and I really didn't think that I would be counted in it.

But I don't understand.

How did he manage it so that I didn't even realize that I was not a living person, but a soul?

Can't figure it out.

I don't bother to think about it anymore.

Now that things have come to this point, what I can do is to carry out this soul sacrifice, that is, to find the souls of those nine people first.

Now the ghosts of the entire Baiyun Town should have gathered here.

Those nine people are probably here too.

I think looking around, the floating figures around me make me feel uncomfortable, after all, this is the first time I've encountered this kind of situation with a bunch of ghosts.

I took a spin.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of me.

Lame dogs?

It was also killed by the Chenghuang?

My eyes widened in astonishment, but the lame dog wagged its tail at me, and when it saw that I had noticed it, it suddenly turned and ran to the side.

With the tacit understanding I had with it during this time, I immediately understood its intention and hurriedly chased after it.

After a while, I heard a voice.

"My Head ......"

"Where is my head?"

The sound made my scalp tingle.

I followed the sound and saw a figure spinning in place, no head, only a body.

Because after death, the soul actually retains the appearance of the clothes it wore before death, so I recognized at a glance that the headless soul was one of the nine people.

Just as I was about to get close to him, he suddenly rushed towards me as if he could sense me, grabbing me directly by the neck.

"Where's my head?"
