After Li Daoxuan entered the mist, he suddenly felt cold all over, as if the temperature around him dropped a lot instantly. He couldn't help but shiver when the night wind blew.
When he looked back, he was surprised to find that along the trail, he could no longer see the previous mountain forests and vegetation, only darkness.
Through the mist, with a bright red light in front of his eyes, he finally entered the village.
What comes into view is a field of red lanterns.
In the dark night, dark red lanterns hung at the door of the room, all looking the same, with a happy word on them.
Almost every house has such a red lantern.
However, the village was extremely quiet, not even a barking dog could be heard, and Li Daoxuan could only hear his own footsteps.
But what made Li Daoxuan feel a little relieved was that since he entered the village, the snake demon's voice never sounded again.
In the seeping red light, Li Daoxuan walked forward slowly. He found that the surrounding houses were all closed, but the doors looked very old, and many of them had gaps and small holes.
There is also a vague musty smell.
Li Daoxuan tried to look inside and found that everything behind the door was empty, and no one seemed to be there.
Li Daoxuan couldn't help but wonder, was this an abandoned village?
But the strange thing is, why are there still red lanterns hanging in the abandoned deserted village, and the candles inside are still burning?
When he saw the sixth house, a scene that made Li Daoxuan's hair stand on end appeared.
Just when he looked inside through the gap in the door panel, he saw a gray and turbid pupil, cold and stiff.
Someone is staring at him inside!
Li Daoxuan broke out in cold sweat on his back, and was about to flee with a shrunken body, when the door was slowly opened.
The door seemed to have not been opened for a long time, and the hoarse sound of the door opening echoed in the silent village, which was particularly harsh.
Behind the door was an old woman with gray hair, wearing black clothes and a thin figure, looking at Li Daoxuan quietly.
Through the red light, Li Daoxuan's pupils condensed, and the clothes on this old woman... turned out to be a shroud!
In the ancient village of Barren Mountain, I met an old woman wearing a shroud, looking directly at me.
Such a strange encounter made Li Daoxuan tense up. He put one hand behind his back, holding a Five Thunder Talisman while trying his best to smile a kindly smile.
"Mother-in-law, may I ask where this place is?"
The old woman stared at him for a long time before squeezing out three words from her throat.
"Li...jiacun."
The voice was old and hoarse, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
Li Daoxuan silently took a step back and continued to ask: "Mother-in-law, can you go ahead and leave this village?"
This time the old woman didn't answer his question, she just stood quietly.
Li Daoxuan changed the question again.
"Mother-in-law, where have all the people in the village gone?"
The old woman's gray pupils raised, as if she had some kind of emotional fluctuation, and she said: "They are all at the wedding... you... go too..."
Everyone in the village went to the wedding?
Li Daoxuan wanted to ask something else, but suddenly found that at some point, the old woman had already stepped out of the door with one foot.
His scalp was numb and he smiled: "I still have something to do, so I won't attend the wedding. Farewell!"
After saying that, Li Daoxuan shrank and shrank, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When he turned around, he found that the old woman had not caught up with him, but was still standing at the door, seemingly still looking at him.
The dark red light shone on her old and pale face, making people's hair stand on end.
After running away, Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. The old woman was definitely not alive!
Perhaps because she noticed the Five Thunder Talisman in his hand, the other party did not catch up in the end. If it were an ordinary person, she would have been "invited" into the house by now.
This village is full of weirdness. Li Daoxuan counted the talismans on his body and found that there were still ten Liuding Liujia amulets and six Five Thunder amulets left, so he had to use them sparingly.
He starts by using an amulet.
"Yinnu Liuding, protect my body, Yangnan Liujia, protect my soul, hurry up like a law!"
The talisman paper turned into a golden light and escaped into his body. Li Daoxuan suddenly felt that his body was not so cold, and the surrounding Yin Qi seemed to be isolated.
The reason why only one is used is because the amulet can only last for a moment after use. It is not advisable to consume too much before the situation is clear.
He continued walking in one direction, wanting to leave the village as soon as possible.
Half an hour later.
Li Daoxuan stopped because he found that he was still in the village and returned to the old woman's house.
But luckily, the old lady didn't open the door this time.
Ghost hitting the wall?
Li Daoxuan used the Shukoku Divine Move and continued to move forward!
He didn't know how long he had been walking. Li Daoxuan estimated that he would have to be twenty or thirty miles away, but the strange thing was that he was still in this village.
But this time, he didn't go back to the old lady's house, but came to a grand mansion.
There are also red lanterns hanging on this house. The difference is that the door of the house is open and covered with a red carpet with grains, beans and flower petals scattered on it.
There were many people in the house, and it seemed that many people were inside.
Li Daoxuan thought of the old woman's words. Everyone in the village had gone to attend the wedding. Could it be here?
Without even thinking about it, Li Daoxuan was ready to leave, and he died quickly just watching the excitement. In many horror movies, the protagonist knew something was wrong but insisted on going to see it, and each one died more miserably than the last.
Li Daoxuan didn't think that six Five Thunder Talismans could bulldoze the village.
But as soon as he turned his head, a stiff face appeared behind him. He was about forty years old, wearing fine silk and satin, and he was smiling.
"My son is newly married, and everyone who comes is a guest. Why don't you go in and have a wedding drink?"
Li Daoxuan didn't want to go in, but the servants behind him were vaguely surrounding him. These servants also had stiff faces and dull eyes, as if they were dolls.
Li Daoxuan had no choice but to nod his head and said, "In that case, I won't bother you."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and the servants behind him dispersed.
Li Daoxuan followed them into the house, only to find that it was full of people, five people per table, but it was strange. These people sat together, no one spoke, and the silence was terrifying.
The middle-aged man led Li Daoxuan to a table where four people were sitting, and Li Daoxuan was just full.
The middle-aged man poured a glass of wine for Li Daoxuan and said with a smile: "This is home-brewed grain wine. It is fragrant and cold. Why don't you try it?"
The aroma of the wine is rich and makes you tipsy.
But when Li Daoxuan poured his magic power into his eyes and looked at the bowl of wine, his pupils couldn't help but condense.
I saw that the wine that was clear and clean just now was filled with many densely packed maggots. The wine was extremely turbid and had a faint stench.
"Sir, why don't you drink?"
The middle-aged man looked at Li Daoxuan and smiled.
"I am a religious person. Our lineage has rules and regulations. We should abstain from alcohol and meat. I'm really sorry."
The middle-aged man stared at him, the smile on his face disappearing a little bit.
Li Daoxuan also looked at him with a firm attitude. He would not drink this bowl of wine even if he died. Who knows what will happen after drinking it?
In the stalemate between the two, the atmosphere seems to be getting more and more solid...
