Fan Xing's words let Zhou Deng know what happened last night.
After knowing this, he also understood everyone's attitude towards him.
"I didn't mean it. Besides, I almost died. If I wanted to harm you, how could I kill myself too?"
Zhou Deng patted the dust on his body and whispered.
After knowing the truth, even Zhou Deng didn't feel confident enough to speak.
Although everyone looked at Zhou Deng at this time, they felt a little unhappy.
But I also know that what Zhou Deng said is right. The other party did make an unintentional mistake, otherwise he would not be buried here. There must have been an accident along the way.
"Okay, let's talk about you now. I'm curious, how could you end up like this when there is a lantern?"
Li Yue waved his hand, and the Tang sword was sheathed again.
He looked at Zhou Deng with some curiosity.
Although Zhou Deng's prerequisite for announcing the funeral broke the balance of the vigil, Zhou Deng holding the lantern should not have any problems.
But Zhou Deng was buried underground just now.
If he hadn't happened to be discovered, maybe Zhou Deng could have continued to maintain his strange state, but he still couldn't escape death in the end.
Upon hearing Li Yue's inquiry, Zhou Deng's face suddenly darkened.
At this time, not only Li Yue, but others were also curious about what happened to Zhou Deng.
So everyone looked at him with curious eyes.
Zhou Deng looked at everyone, and then looked at the surrounding environment:
"This is not the place to talk. Let's leave this forest first and then talk about what happened to me."
Zhou Deng did not refuse, but proposed to leave this old forest.
Everyone immediately realized that what happened to Zhou Deng was definitely related to this ordinary-looking old forest.
This also reminded everyone that Li Yue had said before that this old forest is not simple.
"Where's the lantern you took away, Zhou Deng?"
The eagle suddenly asked at this time.
"Snatched."
Zhou Deng's expression changed again, and when he said this, there was even a lingering look of fear in his eyes.
As soon as these words came out, Fan Xing and others couldn't help but look at each other.
They also did not expect that Zhou Deng, who always liked to collect wool and even dared to snatch supernatural objects from the hands of ghosts, would actually lose the white lantern in his hand.
With Zhou Deng's character, this kind of thing can only happen because he has experienced something very dangerous.
Otherwise, with Zhou Deng's greedy and almost greedy character, how could he be willing to give away the things he got?
But it’s normal to think about it.
If he had not encountered unimaginable danger, Zhou Deng would not have been buried in the ground.
Obviously, Zhou Deng used some special method to save his life.
But he also paid a price.
It can even be said that Zhou Deng is gambling.
If no one digs it out from the ground, Zhou Deng will not be able to escape death in the end given the effectiveness of this old forest in burying evil spirits.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Zhou Deng also looked frightened at this time.
And he also urged everyone to leave quickly.
Although everyone was confused, they did not object.
After all, Zhou Deng has been hanging out for so long, so he must know more than them.
In this way, everyone once again moved along the path towards the old house.
At this time, Li Yue looked at Zhou Deng beside him, with a doubtful look in his eyes.
It stands to reason that Zhou Deng definitely did not bury himself underground.
But if it was a ghost who did it, then why wasn't Zhou Deng buried deep in the old forest, but at the edge of the road?
One hand was left exposed.
It’s like letting people discover it on purpose.
Li Yue's heart was filled with confusion. Perhaps this matter could only be clarified after a detailed understanding of Zhou Deng's experience.
Soon, everyone returned to the gate of the ancient house again.
After completely leaving the old forest, Zhou Deng couldn't help but let out a deep breath of relief.
His movements were clearly seen by Yang Jian beside him.
"You seem to be afraid of that old forest."
Yang Jian said as if he was pointing something.
Zhou Deng did not answer immediately, but looked deeply at Yang Jian, and then said with the same profound meaning:
"With Captain Yang's ability, you should also be able to see that there is something wrong with that old forest, right?"
"I didn't see it." Yang Jian shook his head directly, and then continued: "But my intuition tells me that this old Lin is very dangerous."
When he said this, Yang Jian paused for a moment, turned to look at Li Yue, and then continued:
"And Li Yue has reminded me many times that this old forest is not simple, so for the sake of my own life, I will not be stupid enough to go deep into that old forest."
Hearing Yang Jian's words, Zhou Deng was stunned for a moment.
He also did not expect that Li Yue could see from the beginning that this old forest was not simple.
Then he thought about what happened to him, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"It's a pity that I didn't control my curiosity, otherwise I wouldn't have been buried."
"From what you say, you seem to have entered, or even gone deep into, that old forest?" Yang Jian suddenly became interested.
Yang Jian's guess that Zhou Deng had probably entered the old forest was not just random talk, but had basis. Zhou Deng's body was buried in the old forest before.
Others also looked at Zhou Deng.
Even Li Yue is no exception.
Li Yue also has a lot of doubts in his heart. If he wants to figure it out, he must know Zhou Deng's previous experience.
"Although this old forest looks ordinary and has nothing unusual, in fact it is just a superficial phenomenon.
In fact, this is not a normal old forest, but a ghost forest."
Zhou Deng pointed at Lao Lin not far away and said with a serious and solemn expression.
When he spoke, there was a hint of fear on his face.
It seems that he has thought of something.
Ghost forest?
After hearing Zhou Deng's words, everyone's hearts could not help but tremble.
Although I don’t know why Zhou Deng called this old forest a ghost forest, it’s not difficult to tell from the name and Zhou Deng’s reaction.
There is definitely unimaginable terror and danger in this forest.
After listening to Zhou Deng's words, Yang Jian first glanced at Li Yue, and then continued to ask Zhou Deng:
"Why do you call that old forest a ghost forest? Are there any ghosts in that old forest?"
"Not only are there fierce ghosts, there are simply too many." Zhou Deng smiled bitterly and said:
"This old forest may not seem big to you, but when you really enter it, you will find that this old forest is much bigger than what you see from the outside.
It’s like it’s endless.
I had a mental disorder before and went into the woods with a lantern, but as soon as I entered, I got lost in it for a long time."
Zhou Deng's eyes were full of regret.
Obviously, if Zhou Deng had known the details of this old forest in advance, he would never enter it.
Fortunately, although I encountered danger earlier, my life was saved in the end.
This can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes.
As for the lost lantern, Zhou Deng also felt heartache in his heart.
But compared to life, other things are just external objects.
After all, you only have one life, but supernatural things can be obtained from other places.
Although Zhou Deng is greedy, he also knows his priorities clearly.
