The sound of the door slamming continuously, the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs mixed with the panicked screams were all hidden behind the door.

In the blink of an eye, the entire village became a dead city.

Lu Wenjuan's house was at the westernmost edge of the village. When everyone ran over, they looked back.

I saw the heavy rain kicking up the smoke and dust on the ground, and it was foggy everywhere.

The terrain here is not flat, rolling and undulating, like a not-so-steep hill. Those two-story buildings with different decorations are located in it, high and low. When it is shrouded in mist, at first glance, it looks like an enlarged

's graveyard.

Despite being mentally prepared, Leng Buding saw this scene, which was still terrifying.

After just staying at the door for a while, Lu Wenjuan urged in a sharp voice: "Come in quickly!"

She stretched out her hand to pull him, and she grasped her with her long pointed fingers, which made Zhou Xu "ouch", and she caught five red marks on the spot.

"Auntie, can you please be gentle? I'm made of meat!" Zhou Xu gasped.

He was actually not much more courageous than Xia Qiao, but with the large number of people on the field, he was not afraid of Lu Wenjuan at all.

Lu Wenjuan was stunned by his call "Auntie". She was stunned for a few seconds before saying: "Stop looking! If you don't come in, those things will grow out! Come in quickly!"

She didn't say it was okay, but with such a reminder, Wen Shi and Xie Wen, who were walking at the end, stopped in their tracks.

Not only them, the Zhang Lan siblings and Lao Mao also stopped and stood waiting at the door.

Zhou Xu and Xia Qiao were not very courageous and could not suppress their curiosity. They used Lao Mao as a cover and poked their heads behind.

"How long do we have to wait?" Xie Wen even turned around and asked Lu Wenjuan.

"..."

Wait until death.

Lu Wenjuan cursed in her heart, almost vomiting blood.

But the next second, her face turned pale.

Because a strange sound suddenly rang out in the empty-city-like village. It was creaking and mixed with the rustling rain, making it appear damp and strange.

Everyone immediately held their breath and listened carefully.

"It seems to be over there." Zhang Lan frowned for a while and pointed towards the forest not far away.

But she quickly denied it herself: "No, it's over here."

She moved her finger closer and pointed at a small building opposite. Then, she adjusted the direction while listening, moving her finger little by little...

Finally, we stopped in front of Lu Wenjuan’s house.

The moment they stopped, everyone's expressions had changed.

Because at this time, the crunching movement could no longer be stopped, as if something was hiding under the ground, separated only by a thin cement shell, trying to break out of the ground.

At this moment, Zhou Xu suddenly heard a slapping sound.

He is a person who is easily distracted, so his attention was drawn away in an instant. He turned around to find the source of the sound, and found that the door of Lu Wenjuan's east room was open, and the curtains were also open. From his perspective, he could

I saw a person standing outside the windowpane.

The slapping sound just now must have come from that person.

The other person put his face close to the glass, and Bai Shengsheng's face was a little blurry under the water vapor. You could only feel that he was rolling his eyes, as if he was looking at the situation in the room.

"Is that your neighbor who wants to see you for something?" Zhou Xu stared at that place and patted Lu Wenjuan.

Lu Wenjuan turned her head blankly and glanced over there.

The next moment, the person outside the window suddenly opened his mouth at them.

The mouth was so huge that the moment it opened, it seemed as if the upper half of his head was thrown back.

"Oh my God!!!" Zhou Xu cursed.

Immediately afterwards, he felt dizzy, as if his spirit had been sucked in by something through the air.

He held on to the door frame and began to retching.

At the last moment before bending down, he saw countless cracks in the ground at the door, and some black weeds grew out of the cracks, tangled in knots, and clinging to the ground wet from the rain.

He vomited several times before suddenly realizing that those were not weeds at all!

It's hair.

Hair grew first on the ground, then a white disk-like human face, and then limbs.

The reason why I don't say hands and feet but limbs is because compared to hands and feet, they are more like wild cats and dogs or spiders missing a few legs, but with a human face.

They lie on the ground, and when they move, their limbs move together, making rustling sounds. If they stand upright against the wall, they will look exactly like the "neighbor" Zhou Xu saw.

The moment Lu Wenjuan saw this thing, she jumped up in fright. She dragged Wen Shi and the others into the house regardless, then closed the door tightly and drew the curtains in each room.

Through a door panel, you can hear the rustling and crawling sounds outside getting more and more louder and louder...

As if in an instant, this kind of thing was growing all over the village, crawling everywhere.

However, this kind of movement did not last long. In just a few minutes, the whole village returned to silence. At least the only sound left was the sound of rain.

When Wen Shi opened the curtains and looked outside, he found that the scene outside the window had become exactly the same as inside the house. It was the result of him opening the door in the middle of the night - the outside became a dead place again.

Now let alone Lu Wenjuan, they can't even think of going out.

"What on earth was that thing just now?"

Lu Wenjuan said quietly: "That's an evil ghost."

This word was a bit special to Wen Shi. He moved his fingers on the curtains and turned his head to look at Lu Wenjuan.

Then I heard Xie Wen say quietly: "Wrong, that's Huigu."

"Huigu?" Xia Qiao felt a little familiar when he first heard the word, but he couldn't remember it immediately.

Fortunately, I mentioned it when I heard it: "You've seen it before."

Only then did Xia Qiao remember that the night when Wen Shi first came to Shen's house, the thing that the three trumpeters turned into was called "Hui Gu". But since he never saw such things again, he forgot about it.

I just remember when I heard that it was something that crawled out of the ground.

"Some pickled things." Zhang Yalin explained with disgust: "According to the book, the more resentful places are, the easier it is for these things to grow, so large vortexes, or even more troublesome places, sometimes

A few or even dozens of them crawl out. Even if they are killed, there are still some, but they can never be removed."

"It can't be said that, although they themselves are indeed filth, but sometimes they can still be put to serious use." Zhang Lan added, "You see, they are very good at finding people and things. Of course, the premise is

You can’t harm anyone.”

Zhang Yalin showed disapproval, but since the other party was his sister, she did not open her mouth to refute.

Moreover, except for the more old-school people like himself, many judges in this world will not kill Huigu directly after catching them. They will indeed use them to steal spiritual images. It is the nature of spiritual creatures to find cages or do other things.

, and then get rid of them before they cause danger, or sell them to a spiritual shop for processing.

As long as you grasp the degree well, it's not a big problem.

But Zhang Yalin still couldn't accept it, maybe she was a bit mysophobic.

Xia Qiao had no idea about the differences between the siblings. He only felt that Huigu's stuff made him very uncomfortable. Three or two was fine, but more would make his scalp numb.

And the posture outside the door just now, let alone hundreds of them... they are almost all over the village.

"If you put it that way, wouldn't this village be more serious than a cage vortex?" Xia Qiao murmured.

"Yes, so this cage is really a bit evil." Zhang Lan helped the dizzy Zhou Xu lie down on the sofa, and couldn't help but muttered, "How can an ordinary person's cage look like this..."

Although this aunt has experienced many battles, she always talks about what is going on, and will not deliberately downplay the trouble just to show off.

Zhang Yalin brought a basin from the kitchen, stuffed it into Zhou Xu's arms, sat down on the sofa nearby, pointed at the basin politely and said: "Puke on it, not on me."

Zhou Xu's tongue felt like it was vomiting, but he didn't spit anything out. He panted for a while like a puppy, hugged the basin and said weakly and shamelessly: "I caught a cold before I came here, otherwise I wouldn't be like this.

"

Except for him, no one present had such a big reaction. Even Xia Qiao, who was timid than a chicken, stood still.

"You can pull him down. You are like this even if you don't have a cold." Aunt Zhang scolded him, then patted his head and said, "Hey, it's my fault. I should have gone to Dadong for this matter of being caged. I shouldn't have brought you to the cage."

Catch him—"

Zhang Yalin cleared her throat vigorously and glanced at Wen Shi's back again, reminding his sister to pay more attention to her words.

Zhang Lan swallowed back the word "lead the way" and changed her words: "It's still Xiao Hei's fault. Forget it, otherwise I wouldn't -"

Zhang Yalin cleared her throat again, and her aunt changed her words again, pointing at Zhou Xu and said: "Anyway, with your physique, you should not enter the cage without entering the cage. Your spiritual appearance is not as stable as ordinary people, and accidents happen too easily. Don't blame Sister Bi Ling."

Stop you. When you get out from here, I have to lead you to make amends to her."

When Zhou Xu heard this, he immediately jumped up: "Mom, that's an exaggeration! I've been in the cage three times recently. Aren't I still alive and kicking? Auntie, you can't finish me off -"

Zhang Yalin rolled his eyes and cleared his throat for the third time.

"Don't clear it. It's a waste of your voice and it doesn't sound good." Xie Wen sat down on the sofa nearby, pushed the empty cup in front of him and said, "Why don't you pour a glass of water to drink."

Zhang Yalin: "..."
