After walking around the ancient house, I immediately discovered that there was actually a trail behind the ancient house.
This is a path extending all the way from the back door of the ancient house.
The road was also made of ordinary yellow mud, but not a single weed grew on the mud, not even a single dead leaf or branch that had fallen from the old tree.
Moreover, the color of the yellow mud still looks very new. It does not look like an old road that has been exposed to wind and sun for many years and finally has a color cast. It seems that this road has only been repaired a few days ago, or it has just experienced a period of damage.
Wheel refurbished.
In this gloomy old forest, such a brand-new yellow mud road is particularly eye-catching, which makes people have to think about who built such an abrupt road.
"The person who built this road must be the owner of the ancient house. His purpose of building this road here must be to make it easier for others not to get lost in the old forest. As for where this road will lead, you can only decide for yourself.
I went and took a look for myself.”
Li Leping did not hesitate, carrying the coffin, which was not heavy at all but ridiculously light, onto the path and walked forward again.
Gu Li followed him, always alert to the surrounding situation.
gradually.
The two of them followed this path and went deeper into the old forest.
"Damn, why is it getting darker and darker?"
Suddenly, Gu Li, who had been following Li Leping, lowered his voice and said in a somewhat urgent tone.
Because he found that as they went deeper into the old forest, the surrounding light became darker and darker.
If the sky was just a little darker originally, now it's as dark as dark clouds covering the sky.
The light that can shine here is getting less and less. At the moment, Gu Li can barely see the back of Li Leping walking in front of him. The nearby woods are also shrouded in darkness, and only weird outlines are revealed.
Only in this situation of insufficient light did Gu Li realize how strange the old trees here were.
Old, withered trees just stood on both sides of the road. There were only a few branches left on the medium-thick trunks, but those branches looked particularly weird.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the tree trunks swayed slightly, and the branches also swayed with the wind, making an uncomfortable "rustling" sound, like a finger wagging in the air, suspended above the ground.
on the human head.
Li Leping glanced upward, and then looked back to the front, which was still shrouded in darkness.
The yellow mud road extended all the way forward, but due to the lack of light here, he could not see the end of the yellow mud road at all.
Of course, it is not ruled out that they have fallen into some kind of danger, just like a ghost beating a wall, walking on a road that will never get out, as if there will never be an end ahead.
"Continue? Or go back?"
Li Leping's expression was still calm, or in other words, extremely cold.
He turned his head slightly, but he could only see Gu Li behind him, who had an uneasy look in his eyes. Behind Gu Li, darkness seemed to have completely enveloped them, so that they could no longer see the building standing in the forest.
The ancient house in.
"There is only one way to go."
Li Leping chose to keep moving forward.
There are hidden dangers everywhere in this ghost place. It makes no sense to him to go back to the starting point, because there is only one access in this place at present, and compared to exploring the dangers in the ancient house, Li Leping
I would rather explore where this path leads.
Although he did not feel any danger in the old house in front of the door, nor did he feel any discomfort or warning in his heart, but for some reason, he always felt that he could not break into the old house randomly.
It was as if there was an inexplicable danger hidden in that old house, like a forbidden place where neither humans nor ghosts could break into it at will.
If you break in without permission, no matter whether you are a human or a ghost, you will probably die inside.
I don't know how long I've been gone.
Just when Gu Li felt more and more that the situation was not good, he was planning to discuss whether he should start the retreat from the ghost realm.
The number of trees around Huangni Road gradually decreased.
It seemed as if they were about to walk out of this old forest and come to an open area again.
They were indeed right.
The next moment, another open space without any trees appeared in front of them.
"This is it."
Li Leping stopped and looked at the open space in front of him.
This open area was in a circle, and it was also an open space paved with yellow mud, surrounded by old trees. The dense trees eventually completely surrounded the open space, and it was never found that this place was still connected.
There are other ways.
This shows that this open space is the end of the yellow mud road.
In the open space not far away, Li Leping saw several graves.
The tombstones in front of the tombs are old and new. Some look like they have been built for many years, while others look brand new and bright, as if they have only been erected here for a few years.
The most creepy thing is that each tombstone has a portrait on it, and the name is engraved under the portrait, as if to indicate the identity of the owner of the tomb buried here.
"Four graves, that means four people, or four ghost masters, have been buried here?"
Li Leping used the light from the flashlight hanging on his shoulder to roughly see the number of graves in the open space.
Four graves, four people or ghosts buried here.
"It seems that this place means so much to the old woman that she wants to be buried here even if she dies. Is she planning to be buried with her former partners or teammates?"
When looking at the number of tombs, the light of the flashlight inevitably illuminated the portraits on the tombstones, revealing all the black and white portraits.
There are four portraits, three men and one woman. The three men are all dressed in a slightly old-fashioned way, and they don't look like they are from this era.
The most eye-catching thing is the second tomb.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because the portrait shows that this is the only one among the four tombs that contains a female corpse.
The woman in the portrait is smiling and charming. She is wearing a cheongsam of unknown color, which outlines her beautiful figure.
"Li Qingzhi, Zhang Youhong, Luo Wensong, Luo Qian."
While Li Leping looked at the four portraits, he also saw the names engraved under the portraits.
These four chronological names seem to be not only the names of a certain person, but also represent the legends of the past era.
Perhaps many years ago, these long-dead ghost masters had cooperated, and they were even equivalent to a team of ghost masters, but the strength of this team was completely beyond the imagination of this era.
Perhaps it was this group of terrifying guys who finally put an end to the supernatural events of that era, delaying the resurrection of the evil ghosts for at least several decades.
But now, four ghost masters who were once at the top of the era are finally buried here. This seems to herald the demise of the ghost masters during the Republic of China. The ghost masters who once stood at the top will one day fade away. It is inevitable.
.
Today, the fifth ghost master who was at the pinnacle of the era is about to be buried here, and will be laid to rest here together with her former teammates.
"Just bury it here."
Li Leping glanced at the four tombstones, and looked at the portrait for a moment. After confirming that nothing had happened, he withdrew his gaze and turned to an open space next to the four graves.
What makes people's scalp numb is that a rusty shovel is standing in the open space.
"Damn, this place is really weird and scary."
Gu Li looked at the shovel. It seemed to be no different from the shovel used for farming in the countryside, but it gave him an extreme chill. This chill went straight to the sky, making his hands and feet feel cold.
If there is such a shovel stuck in the ground, doesn't it mean that someone has already expected that they will carry the coffin here and then bury the coffin here?
Therefore, that person would thoughtfully leave a shovel here for them to use.
But here's the problem.
Such a considerate gesture immediately made Gu Li's scalp feel numb and he felt extremely creepy.
Because it is impossible for normal people to move around in this place.
So, what kind of thing could have left them such a shovel?
The more he thought about it, the less Gu Li dared to think about it. He could only bite the bullet and said: "In short, bury this coffin first, and then find a way to evacuate quickly. There are too many things wrong with this place."
"The shovel standing here may indicate the location of the tomb."
Li Leping glanced at Gu Li, and then gently put the coffin down.
Without too much hesitation, he reached out and touched the shovel.
When I bought the shovel, it didn't produce any strange effects. It didn't seem like it was a supernatural item, it was indeed just a very ordinary old object.
Without hesitation, since he picked up the shovel, there was no need to delay. Li Leping directly shoveled down the shovel.
"Boom!"
However, as soon as the shovel hit the ground, he felt that the front end of the shovel hit something.
This thing is very hard and doesn't look like a corpse.
"what?"
Gu Li reacted. At this time, he was no longer too cautious. He took off his gloves directly, stretched out his pale and slender palms, and suddenly dug up the soil that had been lifted up.
It turned out to be a bluestone tombstone without any words.
There is nothing on the tombstone except a little mud, and it is completely blank.
"Interesting, this is the first time I heard that tombstones placed in front of graves are buried in the soil. There are no words on the tombstone. How can it be done without words?"
Gu Li dug out the soil covering the tombstone a few more times with his hands. After digging it out, he pulled out the tombstone that seemed to be embedded in the ground.
As he stood up, he shook his hand and threw the dirt on his fingers to the ground. Then he picked up the tombstone and walked aside. He took out a pack of tissues from his pants pocket and began to simply wipe the tombstone, intending to remove the dirt stuck to it.
Clean the soil.
Such an action seemed like he was very concerned about the dignity of the deceased, but in the final analysis it was because Gu Li didn't want to stand by and watch while Li Leping was digging a hole.
It's so embarrassing to be empty-handed and do nothing.
Li Leping didn't say anything more and continued digging the hole with the shovel.
His body is not like that of ordinary people. He is not aware of fatigue and fatigue, and his strength is terrifying. When he shovels down, he will lift up a large piece of soil, and he can excavate very quickly.
After a while, a pit appeared that could accommodate the entire coffin. As a precaution, he dug it deeper to prevent the soil covering it from being thick enough.
"It's almost done here." Gu Li looked at the clean tombstone and said.
"Then just bury it."
This time, Li Leping didn't ask Gu Li to help him. He lifted the bottom of the coffin with one hand and covered the coffin with the other, just like he was holding a child. Then he put the light coffin into the pit.
Then, he began to fill the soil and bury it.
From the first time Li Leping saw the coffin to the burial, all the processes were very quiet and there were no abnormalities.
Sometimes, he even doubted whether there was anything in the coffin.
But after thinking about it carefully, there should be no need for the old woman to resort to empty-handed tactics on this kind of thing.
After working in this open space for about an hour, a tomb buried in loess appeared next to the four tombs.
This is the fifth grave in the old forest, belonging to the unknown old woman.
Finally, Gu Li placed the wordless tombstone in front of the grave, clapped his hands, and suddenly clasped his hands together with a solemn expression.
Then, he bowed respectfully three times and said like a filial son and grandson: "Old lady, we are in a hurry and we are not walking on an ordinary road. We cannot buy worship supplies along the way, so the decoration is a bit simple. Could you please
Sir, please don't blame us. Have a good journey and we will miss you forever. May your spirit be in heaven and bless us to end this chaotic era as soon as possible and usher in peace as soon as possible."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After saying these words of condolences, Gu Li slowly straightened up, looked at the wordless tombstone, turned to Li Leping, and asked
: "You really don't know what this old woman's name is? There's not even a name on this tombstone. I feel a little strange. With an empty tombstone like this, the deceased will not leave peacefully."
Li Leping looked at the suspicious Gu Li expressionlessly: "I can barely remember my own name, so why are you asking me if I know the name of another person? Also, where are you from?
So many feudal superstitions? Besides, what does it have to do with you whether a person passes away peacefully or not? Can she still rely on you?"
"Shh!"
As soon as he heard the words "I rely on you", Gu Li's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stretched out his index finger in front of his lips to signal Li Leping not to talk nonsense, so as not to cause trouble.
Then, he whispered: "There is a folk saying that the soul of a person who has just died will not leave so quickly, but will stay in the world for a while. If the person who died still has unfulfilled wishes, they will stay there forever.
In the human world, you can put your body on the children at home, speak strange words through the children's mouth, or keep telling dreams to your family, break objects at home, etc. If you stay there for a long time, you may turn into a resentful ghost."
"Then should I go to Longhu Mountain to find some Taoist priests to help you get rid of ghosts?" Li Leping reached out and patted the golden nameplate on Gu Li's chest, and then added, "Compared to the position of the person in charge, you don't
It’s really a lack of talent to write supernatural novels.”
"As you said, I really want to write it. If I just write down all my experiences and add a little embellishment with pen and ink, I believe it's enough to make a thrilling story. But the problem is that it won't pass the review."
As soon as Gu Li opened his mouth, there was a slide that could not be touched.
"Okay, don't talk to me about this topic. If you really have this plan, just do it. No one will get stuck on you."
After saying that, Li Leping turned around first, not intending to discuss such an inappropriate topic with Gu Li here.
Now, how to get out is the key.
However, the moment he turned around, he seemed to see something terrifying. His body tensed up in an instant, and his lifeless eyes shrank suddenly, and a look appeared on his originally numb face.
There was a look of astonishment on his face.
Because at some point, an old man stood in the darkness behind him and Gu Li.
However, he and Gu Li, two ghost masters who had experienced numerous dangers and were immediately aware of changes in their surroundings, were completely unaware of this.
The old man stood there quietly with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
