Chapter 8: The Mysterious Courtyard

Qin Yu only felt a foul smell coming from his face, but fortunately, the stronger and stronger chill in his body suppressed this discomfort, which also made him instantly regain his original calm, and continued to pretend that nothing had happened.

The cliff in front of him had turned into a hill made of countless white bones, and the ancient trees around it had somehow turned into huge stone pillars with jet-black iron chains, and the chains were full of dried corpses. A fishy stench emanated from the corpse. The dark red earth was littered with white skeletons, and from time to time a few poisonous snakes lurked in them.

Not far away, in a pile of skeletons, there was a petite red embroidered shoe, and just now there was a bright red flower blooming.

The wisps of black mist had already been revealed in Qin Yu's eyes at this time, and this wisp of black mist was clearly a powerful ghost with long teeth and claws. Their eyes were as scarlet as the left eye of the strange bird, glowing with a terrible hiss.

"Did you hear anything?" said Hulay, pausing and looking around warily.

"yes! The wind is getting stronger. “

"How do I feel that the sound of the wind is mixed with the cries of many people. “

"Crying, I see you're fucking thinking about women going crazy, shut your mouth!"

Hu Bat had just listened to Ximenqu's warning words, and was looking around attentively at this time, not wanting Hu Lai to say such inconsequential words, and suddenly a wave of anger arose in his heart for no reason, and he was about to turn around and scold, when he suddenly felt a sound under his feet.

"Click... Click... Click.. Click..."

...

It was as if something had been crushed by him.

"What sound," he exclaimed softly, not bothering to scold Hulai, and reflexively snatched a big step behind him.

I lowered my head and took a closer look, only then I breathed a sigh of relief, and said in my heart: "It turned out to be a stone." It's just that as soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt a little strange again

"No, I just stepped on it casually, how could I have stepped on a stone that looked intact. “

All of this was seen by Qin Yu, although he couldn't see anything on his face, but at this moment, his nerves were already like a tense bowstring. What kind of stone did the bat crush on, it was clearly a human skull.

He knew that the three people in front of him were afraid that he was completely unaware of his situation, and he remembered again the pebble that he had swallowed into his stomach, "It must be the effect of that stone," but now he could not afford any luck in his heart, although with the help of the pebble, he had been freed from that terrible illusion, but the situation in front of him was definitely not much better, and if other people were in this situation, they might be frightened.

I don't know when he is grateful for what happened in the past, and spends every day in the eyes of hunger and others, he has long experienced what despair is, what life is worse than death. Just now, when he suddenly saw this hellish scene that he had never dreamed of, he was only slightly surprised, "It turns out that there really is hell in this world," he said to himself.

At this moment, those fierce ghosts who were originally wandering around with their teeth and claws open their teeth and claws seemed to have encountered something incredible, and immediately rushed to scatter and flee, and even the strange bird that was standing motionless on the dead tree and staring at everyone indifferently suddenly became docile at this time.

Seeing this, Qin Yu's already tense heart had already reached his throat at this time, he understood the situation in front of him better than the other three, and he almost ran away at this moment, but he was not a fool.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple, and there is something else that even these powerful ghosts who seem to eat people and don't spit out bones will be afraid when they see it. “

The surrounding ghosts disappeared one after another as if they had come, and even Qin Yu didn't notice where they had gone.

"Wonder why those cries are gone. Hulai looked around, muttering that it was not loud, but it was clearly audible to the others.

Only Qin Yu felt a little surprised when he heard his words, and said in his heart: "This beast can actually hear the voices made by those powerful ghosts. “

Hu Bat didn't pay attention to the stone that he inadvertently stepped on, only raised his head and looked at the sky, seeing that the sky had become as black as ink, and the wind was blowing stronger and stronger, perhaps in response to Ximenqu's question, the surrounding fog was slowly becoming sparse at the moment, seeing this situation, Hu Bat said in his heart: "It seems that the abnormal phenomena mentioned by Ximenqu may really be related to the terrain here, there is no need to make a fuss about this kind of thing now, you have to find a place to shelter from the rain quickly." “

A few drops of cold rain fell to the ground and also fell on people's cheeks, which felt so kind and so disgusting, the kind thing was that the scorching sun at noon had already baked a few people on the outside and tender on the inside, and the disgust was that the rain really didn't come at the right time, and it didn't come at the right time for two days in a row.

The fog finally dissipated completely as the raindrops fell, and the eyes suddenly opened up. A quiet courtyard suddenly appeared in front of the three of them when the fog cleared.

Seeing this suddenly appeared courtyard, the three of them were taken aback, and Ximen Qu rarely spoke first: "Where this bird doesn't, how can there suddenly be a household, is this place marked on the map of A Bat?"

It's just that Hu Bat was also surprised by the small courtyard that suddenly appeared in front of him at the moment, and he didn't ease his senses for a while, and at this moment he heard Ximen Qu ask him unusually first, and then shook his head and said: "The map doesn't record this place, but I don't think there's any need to make a fuss about it, the map should have been around for some time, but I look at the layout of this small courtyard, I'm afraid it will not be long before it was built, I don't remember that two years ago, someone dared to live in this Bear Demon Ridge." “

After listening to Hu Baat's answer, Ximen Qu didn't ask any more questions, but his eyes kept looking at the courtyard in front of him, and he still couldn't see any expression on his face, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say it. He agreed with Hu Ba's remarks just now, and this small courtyard did seem to have just been built.

This small courtyard is built against the cliff wall, but there are no other buildings in the courtyard, but there are many large and small stone piles scattered, which looks quite strange, and other than that, there are only weeds left, which is not common.

The only place where you can feel the breath of life here is a house on the cliff wall that has been carved out of life, and there is only one window, and to the left of the door is a new wooden door on top of it, and it is through this door that everyone guesses that the courtyard must have just been built.

A stone courtyard wall enclosed the house, which looked more like a cave, and the courtyard wall was not high, no more than a Ximenqu thigh, and was made of stones of little difference in size all over the ground, but he could not say why, but he always felt that the stones used to build the courtyard wall seemed to be more lustrous than those on the ground.

"Have you ever seen this kind of stone anywhere else in this mountain?" asked Ximenqu.

From his low tone, it could be seen that he was still very nervous at the moment, and he was not like Hu Baat who immediately relieved himself when he saw someone here.

I saw Hu Bat shake his head and say, "No, I think this kind of stone is unique to this place," which reminded Jean of the stone that he had inadvertently stepped on.

Hu Lai, who was still frightened and suspicious just now, also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and said in his heart: "This ghost place can still see where people live," Xu was relaxed, but his stomach sent a hunger signal at this time, and a feeling of fatigue and weakness suddenly hit, and the slightly weird atmosphere just now made him nervous, and his heart beat faster, which naturally aggravated the consumption of physical strength.

"No, I have to have a good meal here today, otherwise I will starve to death on the road before I get down the mountain," he said to himself.

In this way, several people walked quickly towards the only entrance of the small courtyard with their own thoughts, because the raindrops in the sky were getting denser and denser.

"It's strange that summer storms are often accompanied by violent thunder and lightning, but why are you only seeing these black clouds in the sky today," was Hu Baat's question at the moment, but when the cold raindrops hit his face, he no longer cared about this kind of question.

At this time, Qin Yu's mood was completely different from that of the other three, because what appeared in front of his eyes was a completely creepy scene.

The walls of the courtyard were made of skeletal flesh, the dry weeds had long since been stained scarlet with blood, and even the air had a heavy smell of fish, and the piles of stones were also made of white bones, and even the doors and windows of the houses were made of miserable white bone.

At this moment, there was an urge in his heart to flee from this place desperately, but just as he thought about it, the pebble in his body once again emitted an even more violent coldness, and he even felt that this coldness was filled with an inexplicable consciousness, forcing him to give up the idea of escaping.

The coldness did make him calm in an instant, and it also made his heart inexplicably give birth to a kind of luck, for some reason there was a strange identification in his heart, if he was just right, he really wanted to escape from this place desperately. Then, he will immediately become one of the bones on the ground.

He skimmed his eyes slightly, looked behind him, and felt as if there was always an eye behind him.

"It's the strange bird," he said, quickly brushing his eyes back.

It turned out that the strange bird was not just staring at him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why... Chirping... Squeak..."

...

The sound of the wooden door opening came from the nearby courtyard, and the door of the cave was opened at this moment...
