Meng Nan and others parked the car and walked up the long mountain road.
This place is not far from Lantan. Based on the distance traveled by Meng Nan and others, it only takes forty minutes at most to get there.
In order to avoid having too many dreams at night, Meng Nan and others were still cautious, but their speed was already the fastest. They only hoped to find Lin Ruoyi in the shortest possible time and leave here.
There were no disturbances along the way, and soon everyone could vaguely see the shadow of Lantan through the gaps in the forest.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and heavy fog suddenly filled the surrounding area, making it impossible to see anyone in the entire forest.
"Everyone, be careful!" Meng Nan shouted: "Hold each other's hands and sign up at the same time!"
"Okay!" Chen Ruier and others responded, grabbing the hands of the people around them and saying their names while grabbing hands. Soon the ten people were holding each other's hands.
This is a strategy that everyone researched after coming out of the world of the old corpse in the mountain village.
After all, if you are unable to see clearly who is around you, if you grab the hands around you rashly, it is very likely that you will end up like what happened in Huangshan Village. God knows whether you are catching a person or a ghost!
Meng Nan and others felt a little uneasy, so they each reported their names again, but there was still no problem.
"If we don't have any problems, everyone should be careful, the devil boy is very likely nearby!" As he spoke, Meng Nan once again mobilized Chu Renmei's power, and his eyes turned blue.
Chen Ruier and Xia Wenqing also focused their attention at the same time and worked hard to mobilize Chu Renmei's power.
However, even though Meng Nan had mobilized the power of Chu Renmei's tears, she still couldn't see through the surrounding fog.
Meng Nan frowned. It seemed that the fog was not an illusion created by the Demon God or the Demon God, but actually existed.
After a few minutes, the thick fog in front gradually dispersed, revealing a narrow passage, and Meng Nan and others could already see the people around them.
"What is this?" Chen Ruier's eyes turned blue and she looked at Meng Nan.
"Let's go, it seems someone wants to invite us." Meng Nan took a deep breath: "Don't let go, everyone, be careful."
The rest of the people nodded and walked forward little by little along the passage in the fog.
Walking along the passage, Meng Nan and others

The more people are frightened, especially Meng Nan.
His sense of direction has always been very sensitive, and this direction should be the direction of Lan Tan.
But judging from the distance that everyone was traveling at this moment, they should have entered the Orchid Pond, but there was not even a trace of water around them, let alone the Orchid Pond.
Chen Ruier and others have also discovered this problem, and everyone's faces are becoming more and more ugly.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up, and a circular area with a diameter of almost fifty meters appeared in front of them.
There is no fog at all in this area, but instead there are rows of houses.
The doors and windows of every house were closed at the moment, with talismans attached to them, and there was no sound inside.
There are roadblocks at every intersection, with two lines of large characters written in vermilion on the roadblocks: "There is a ritual ahead and no passage is allowed."
There were small square tables placed one after another next to the roadblock, with tribute incense candles placed on the tables, which looked particularly eerie.
"What kind of place is this?" Man Sisi said warily: "It's so evil!"
"This should be a gift of meat dumplings." Li Shiming said solemnly: "Be careful when shouting."
Sending meat rice dumplings is a special funeral custom, also called sending evil spirits or eating noodles.
However, those who send meat dumplings are not ordinary dead people, but people who have been hanged.
According to legend, a person who hangs himself has a strong evil spirit, which is also called a hanging evil spirit. He will find someone to act as a substitute so that he can be reincarnated.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a local temple fair to perform rituals to drive away evil spirits and calm the spirits of the dead.
It would be too disrespectful to call it "hanged ghost" directly, so local people often use "meat dumplings" instead.
During the ceremony, the temple usually where the "meat dumplings" are found is often used as the starting point, the route is planned, the people are notified, and every household is blocked along the way until it is delivered to the seaside.
At the same time, talismans are posted on the doors and windows of every house to prevent the evil spirits from being driven in and escaping, affecting the residents on both sides.
When they learned that this was a meat dumpling delivery, Meng Nan and others already understood that this place was very dangerous at the moment.
But the surrounding fog was so heavy that it was difficult to leave, so they could only continue moving forward.
On the way forward, Sun Tianzhao carved the Five Thunder Talismans on the backs and palms of everyone in turn.
After such a long period of research,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Sun Tianzhao has gained a little success with the Five Thunder Talisman. The effect is not known yet, but it should be able to work.
After the outline of the talisman was completed, everyone continued to move forward. After walking a few steps, they heard the sound of gongs and drums faintly coming from the mist behind them.
Meng Nan and others paused and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a team slowly walking out of the fog, and the person at the front was a man dressed as Zhong Kui.
He held the magic weapon in his hand, moved his feet, and walked forward slowly with Zhong Kui steps.
Following this person were six people wearing bellybands. Some of them held gongs and cymbals, some held chickens and ducks, and some held bowls. They kept spreading rice to both sides.
.
Behind the six men wearing bellybands were expressionless people, about a dozen of them.
Like stars holding the moon, these people surrounded a person in the center. The person in the center had a small dot dotted with cinnabar between his eyebrows and held a bundle of ropes in his hands.
It may sound slow, but in fact the speed of the team is very fast. Everyone just saw it clearly and the team was already in front of everyone.
"Avoid it!" Sun Tianzhao pinched the seal with his hand and frowned.
So everyone immediately moved to both sides and got out of the way.
However, just as the team was passing through the crowd, the man in the middle holding the rope suddenly moved.
His eyes were fixed on Chen Ruier's body, his head moved a little bit with Chen Ruier, and his eyes became blood red.
At this moment, Sun Tianzhao and Meng Nan stood in front of Chen Ruier at the same time. Sun Tianzhao stretched his fingers forward and shouted: "Imperial!"
The man's head turned back instantly, as if everything just now was an illusion.
"Let's follow." Sun Tianzhao gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice.
"Follow me?" Meng Nan and others were stunned after hearing this.
"That's right." Sun Tianzhao said: "Sure enough, sending meat dumplings is sending evil spirits! Once we encounter one, we must follow the team throughout the journey, otherwise we will be targeted by evil spirits!"
After listening to Sun Tianzhao's words, everyone gathered together again without saying anything, and carefully followed the end of the rice dumplings delivery team. They were completely unaware that a little girl was following them silently...
