Hearing my voice, Bai Ze and Jingjing quickly turned around. I was surprised to find that their bodies had also become extremely old, and they were continuing to age at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Only Li Xia at the front could not see any change because he was originally a shadow puppet.
"Brother Cheng, what's going on?"
Bai Ze also noticed the abnormality and asked me hurriedly.
"Get out first and then talk!"
I waved my hand, signaling everyone to leave the cemetery quickly.
Several people reacted, immediately followed the original route, ran all the way, and finally ran out of the cemetery and arrived at the place before departure.
Strangely enough, the moment we stepped out of the cemetery, our body's decay stopped instantly, and within a minute, it returned to its previous state.
"There's something wrong with this cemetery."
I frowned, lost in thought.
Although there are many lonely ghosts in this cemetery, they do not pose much of a threat to us. Traveling through the cemetery safely is something we can easily do.
But who would have thought that such an accident would happen midway. Not only me, but also the three great immortals Lonnie, Bai Ze, and Jing Jingjing all aged rapidly without realizing it.
It can be seen that this kind of cemetery is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.
"This cemetery seems to be set up into a formation."
Lonnie thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I remember my father said that there is a kind of evil formation. Once you enter it, time will become very fast, and the human body will age at a speed visible to the naked eye. If you don't leave the position of the formation as soon as possible, He will grow old and die."
Bai Ze nodded and said: "It seems that someone deliberately doesn't want us to find the ghost road."
"Perhaps the person who arranged the formation was not specifically targeting us. After all, everyone who wants to enter the Ghost Road must pass through here."
Jing Jingjing added from the side.
My eyes suddenly lit up. That's right. There are so many graves here. Maybe they were left by people who wanted to enter the ghost road before. Maybe we can find some clues from them.
It’s just that those lonely ghosts were scared away by Lonnie just now. Where can I catch a ghost and ask?
Looking at the dense tombstones in front of me, I once again thought of an idea.
These tombstones all have photos and dates of birth and death of the tombstone owners. I didn’t observe them carefully just now, but now I suddenly want to take a look. Maybe I can find some clues from them.
Those lonely ghosts just now didn't seem to be affected by the formation. In that case, I can give it a try.
I patted the Qiankun bag and released Xiao Hei. Then I touched its cold little head and put a talisman on it.
"Xiao Hei, I want you to go into the cemetery and help me check the writings on the tombstones."
"Remember, if something goes wrong, pull back immediately."
Xiao Hei nodded obediently, then jumped into the depths of the dark cemetery and disappeared.
I closed my eyes slightly and used Xiao Hei's eyes to observe the writings on the tombstones.
Through practicing ghost arts, Xiao Hei is now connected with my mind. According to my instructions, every time he comes to a tombstone, he will wipe off the dust on the tombstone so that I can clearly read the writing on it.
I browsed through them one by one and found that the dates of birth and death of the tomb owners were different. Some died decades ago, while others died just a few days ago.
It seems that this is just an ordinary cemetery, nothing special.
But suddenly, I saw a photo, and I was shocked.
The photo on that tombstone is exactly me!
The handwriting below accurately states the year and month of my birth, and the date of my death is today!
In other words, before I entered this cemetery, someone had already dug a grave for me?
Immediately afterwards, I saw through Xiao Hei that next to my tombstone, I saw the tombstones of Lonnie, Bai Ze, Jing Jing and others. Without exception, the death dates of these people were today.
Could it be that just because our photos and names are on the tombstones, we will age rapidly once we enter the formation?
"Xiao Hei, destroy all our photos."
Thinking of this, I directly gave the order to Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei understood, and immediately stretched out a pair of small black hands to grab the photo on my tombstone.
Click click click...
With the practice of ghost arts, Xiao Hei's current strength has also been greatly improved. His pair of small black hands are extremely sharp, and he scratches on the tombstone with a rattling sound, causing gravel to fly.
After a while, the tombstone with my photo and the dates of my birth and death was completely destroyed by Xiao Hei.
Then, it destroyed the tombstones of Lonnie, Bai Ze, and An Jingjing in turn, and then ran back.
"Good job, Xiaohei."
I patted Xiao Hei's head and let it enter the Qiankun Bag, and then said to Li Xia: "Li Xia, you go ahead and lead the way."
Li Xia said hesitantly: "Mr. Cheng, is this okay? I'm worried..."
"It doesn't matter. If there is an accident, we will evacuate immediately."
I waved my hand and said.
I'm not sure whether destroying my own tombstone can break the formation, but I have no other way now, so I can only give it a try.
Li Xia didn't dare to say anything and went to lead the way obediently. This time we walked side by side and stepped into the cemetery again.
"It seems like it's okay."
After walking a few steps, I saw that no one's appearance had changed at all, and I couldn't help but feel happy.
It seems that the trick just now worked.
"Xiao Chengzi, you are still smart."
Lonnie also smiled and said: "Let's go quickly and hurry through this damn cemetery."
After confirming that the formation had failed, several people couldn't help but speed up and quickly crossed to the end of the cemetery.
Compared with the distance, there was a big gap between me and Bai Ze, and we fell behind in a short while. I was about to speed up to catch up, but I suddenly felt dizzy, my feet slipped, and I stumbled and fell to the ground.
I quickly took out the Bagua Mirror, only to find that my skin had become extremely saggy and covered with age spots. I looked like a dying old man!
Moreover, the rate of aging this time is several times faster than before!
"Ni..."
I opened my mouth and shouted in a weak, hoarse voice.
Fortunately, Lonnie had been paying attention to my situation and ran over quickly when she saw that I didn't follow.
"Xiao Chengzi, why are you..."
After seeing my change, Lonnie said anxiously and panicked.
"I, I don't know why I am the only one who is still aging..."
I shook my head hard, feeling like it would take all my strength to say a word.
"I'll carry you out!"
Seeing that I was still getting older, Lonnie became anxious and wanted to run away from the cemetery with me on her back.
"That's too late……"
