Just when Li Yue and others returned to the back hall to continue vigil, a man was wandering around outside.
This person is holding a white lantern in one hand, with a large black character "Dian" written on it;
The white lantern emits light in the dim environment. It is a pale light that is very strange, but it can illuminate the road ahead.
There is also a stick of incense in the other hand.
The incense stick is burning, exuding a fragrance that lingers.
This person is none other than Zhou Deng.
"Why don't I take it if I don't want it? You don't know if I take it secretly. Besides, if others get there first, wouldn't I suffer a big loss?"
Zhou Deng thought secretly proudly in his heart.
Although Li Yue and Yang Jian had repeatedly warned him not to touch the things in the old house, they were worried that it would break the balance of the old house.
But Zhou Deng turned around and took action quietly.
However, he had some sense. He did not take away all the incense in front of the coffin or the lantern on the door of the old house.
After getting the things, Zhou Deng walked out of the old house through the door in the back hall just as Li Yue guessed.
Zhou Deng also knew that staying in the old house would be dangerous, but it might be safer to get out of the old house.
Of course this is just a gamble.
If you guess wrong, you will also be attacked by a ghost.
However, Zhou Deng is confident in his own methods and can deal with it even if he encounters danger outside his old house.
At least he has the ability to escape.
After Zhou Deng walked out of the back hall, he discovered that the path under his feet was not the same as the road leading to the gate.
Looking at the path under his feet, Zhou Deng hesitated a little;
This road is very strange, it is paved with yellow soil, not a single weed grows on it, and the soil is very new, as if it had been repaired a few days ago.
“The owner of the ancient house must have had a special intention in building a road here;
Maybe you can find a way out of here along this road, and you may also find some treasure buried by the owner of the ancient house."
Zhou Deng's eyes rolled and he was thinking of some strange ideas.
After a brief thought, Zhou Deng entered the old forest along the winding path.
"Trees along the way were cut down."
As he went deeper, Zhou Deng discovered that there were some tree stumps in the middle of the road.
As you can imagine, a considerable amount of money was spent to build this yellow mud road.
But Zhou Deng didn't think too much and continued walking forward holding the white lantern.
As we continue to go deeper, the surroundings become darker and darker.
In the end, even the nearby woods were shrouded in darkness in Zhou Deng's eyes, leaving only a vague outline.
There is only one yellow mud road extending forward, as if there is no end.
Seeing this, Zhou Deng couldn't help but stop;
"A weird road that never ends? Do you want to turn around and go back?"
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of thinking.
But he soon shook his head and gave up the idea.
"It may not be safe to return to our old home at this time. Besides, we have come so far. If we give up now, all our efforts will be wasted."
Thinking of this, Zhou Deng made an immediate decision.
I saw him walking forward again.
In this way, Zhou Deng didn't know how long he had walked. He couldn't calculate the time or recalculate the distance.
Because except for the yellow mud path at your feet, there is no reference around.
If ordinary people were in this kind of environment, they would have collapsed long ago.
But Zhou Deng did not.
He is still moving forward.
Not knowing how far he had gone, Zhou Deng suddenly noticed that the old trees around the yellow mud road were gradually becoming sparse.
Zhou Deng's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.
This change probably means that he is about to reach the end.
This is indeed the case.
Zhou Deng soon came to an empty place.
This open area is a circle, covered with yellow soil, surrounded by dense old forests, and no other paths have been found.
The end has come.
Although he didn't find a way to leave, Zhou Deng wasn't too disappointed.
Because he found other things here, maybe he can get something special here.
Thinking of this, Zhou Deng immediately took the lantern and walked towards the location where he just discovered the abnormality.
As he got closer, he finally saw it clearly.
But there are several tombs.
These graves vary from old to new;
Some look like they are many years old, some look like they are from a few years ago, and some even feel like they are newly built.
Zhou Deng also discovered that there were tombstones in front of these tombs with names and portraits on them, and there were offerings placed in front of the tombstones.
Zhou Deng came to an earthen tomb with a lantern, and took a light with it.
The pale lantern light dispelled the darkness, revealing a portrait.
The portrait shows a strange man;
He just doesn't look like the person he is today, because the clothes he wore when he took the photo were very old-fashioned, but he looks very young and somewhat handsome.
"It's a pity that such a handsome man died here."
Zhou Deng then looked at the sacrifice in front of the tomb, which was white rice in a blue and white porcelain bowl.
It's just that the rice is hard, as if it's undercooked.
Zhou Deng's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange color.
I saw him immediately put the lantern in his hand next to him, and then stretched out a hand to get the bowl of white rice in front of the tombstone.
But Zhou Deng didn't notice that just when he bent down and stretched out his hand, the eyes of the man in the portrait on the tombstone started to move strangely.
Also follow his hand and look down.
It's like watching Zhou Deng's movements.
"Pa~!"
But just when Zhou Deng's hand was about to touch the bowl of white rice, he suddenly withdrew his hand and slapped himself.
"Zhou Deng, Zhou Deng, you know that there is danger here but you still dare to reach out and pick up things. What if you attract some kind of curse and are targeted by evil spirits?"
If Li Yue had seen this scene, his jaw would have dropped in shock.
Zhou Deng's greed had already been seen by everyone when he was on the bus.
The offerings in front of the tombstone were obviously not ordinary things, otherwise they would not have been stored for such a long time.
With Zhou Deng's character, no one would be surprised to see something like this and reach out and take it away.
But now when he was about to succeed, Zhou Deng gave up.
This is so disrespectful.
Of course, Zhou Deng's brain circuit is different from ordinary people, and he often does unexpected things.
At this time, Zhou Deng picked up the lantern that he had put down again and no longer touched the bowl of sacrifices.
And just after Zhou Deng gave up making sacrifices, the man in the portrait on the tombstone slowly looked back, and everything seemed to have returned to normal.
All this happened quietly, and Zhou Deng was not aware of it at all.
At this time Zhou Deng came to the second grave holding a lantern.
The portrait on the tombstone of the second tomb is that of a very beautiful woman.
She has waist-length hair, a smile, and is wearing a cheongsam. Unfortunately, the photo is black and white, so I can’t tell what color the cheongsam is.
"It's such a pity that someone so beautiful died."
Looking at the woman in the portrait, Zhou Deng's eyes flashed with a look of pity.
He seemed to really feel sorry for this woman.
But the next sentence once again exposed Zhou Deng’s true nature:
"That cheongsam looks good. I wonder if it was buried in a grave."
At this moment, Zhou Deng suddenly slapped himself again, and then said:
"Zhou Deng, Zhou Deng, you can't be like this. You want to dig up the grave of such a beautiful beauty, and even want to take off the dead woman's clothes. Is this appropriate?"
Then Zhou Deng looked at the tomb with some reluctance.
Obviously, Zhou Deng still felt a little bit reluctant about not digging the grave to retrieve the things.
But in the end he held back and did not take action.
Just when he was about to walk towards the next grave without seeing it, Zhou Deng's footsteps suddenly stopped.
He found that there was also a bowl of rice placed in front of this tomb.
It's just that this bowl of rice seems to be a little less than the bowl in front of the first tomb, as if the sacrifice inside was eaten by something.
Seeing this, the reluctance in Zhou Deng's eyes suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Instead, he looked around cautiously.
Normally, no one would touch these things, but now there are strangely few of them, which makes Zhou Deng a little suspicious.
It wasn't until he made sure there was nothing else hiding around that he relaxed a little.
