"All the trees along the way have been cut down." Zhou Deng discovered that there were tree stumps in the middle of the road.

As you can imagine, a considerable amount of money was spent to build this yellow mud road.

Carrying a white lantern, we walked deeper and deeper, and the surrounding area became darker and darker.

soon.

The nearby woods were all shrouded in darkness, leaving only a vague outline. Only a yellow mud road stretched forward, as if there was no end.

"A weird road that never ends? Do you want to turn around and go back?" Zhou Deng frowned, thinking about this problem.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head and gave up.

He chose to keep walking forward, because it might not be safe to go back and enter the ancient house. There are dangers everywhere in this ghost place, and maybe it might be better outside.

He didn't know how long the walk would take, and he couldn't calculate the time.

All he knew was that the old trees around this yellow mud road gradually became sparse, and then he came to an empty place.

This open area is circular, paved with yellow soil, surrounded by dense old forests, and no other paths have been found.

The end has come.

In this open space, Zhou Deng saw several graves.

They are old and new, some look like they are many years old, some look like they were buried a few years ago, and some are even newly buried. There are tombstones in front of these graves with names and portraits on them, and some are placed in front of the tombstones.

The sacrifice was white rice in a blue and white porcelain bowl.

The rice was hard, like it was undercooked,

Zhou Deng came to an earthen tomb with a lantern, and took a light with it.

The pale lantern light dispelled the darkness, revealing a portrait.

The portrait shows a strange man who does not look like a current person. He seems to have been dead for many years, because the clothes he wore when the photo was taken were very old-fashioned, but he looked very young and somewhat handsome.

"It's a pity that such a handsome man died here." Zhou Deng looked down at the bowl of white rice in front of the tombstone.

He placed the lantern beside him and stretched out a hand to get it.

However, as Zhou Deng bent down, the eyes of the man on the tombstone moved strangely, and he also looked down at his hand.

"Pa~!"

Zhou Deng suddenly withdrew his hand and slapped himself.

"Zhou Deng, Zhou Deng, you know that there is danger here but you still reach out and pick up things. What if you attract some kind of curse and are targeted by evil spirits?"

He actually gave up the idea, picked up the lantern again, and did not touch the bowl of white rice in front of the grave.

now.

The man in the portrait on the tombstone slowly looked back, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

Zhou Deng continued to wander and came to the second grave.

In front of the second grave is a very beautiful woman with waist-length hair, a smile, and a cheongsam. Because the photo is black and white, it is impossible to tell what color the cheongsam is.

There is also a bowl of rice placed in front of the grave.

It's just that this bowl of rice seems to be less than the previous bowl in front of the grave, and it seems to have been eaten.

"It's a pity that she died just because she was so beautiful. That cheongsam seemed nice. I wonder if it was buried in the grave." Zhou Deng thought this way.

Then he slapped himself again: "Zhou Deng, Zhou Deng, you can't be like this. Is it appropriate for you to dig someone's grave and take off their clothes when someone is so beautiful?"

Zhou Deng left with great regret.

He then walked around several other graves.

Unfortunately, I didn't find anything special. I only saw a rusty shovel standing in front of a clearing.

Zhou Deng picked it up and tried it, but unfortunately it was not a supernatural item, but an ordinary thing, which disappointed him greatly.

"Go back, go back, it's a waste of time if you don't find anything."

While Zhou Deng was complaining, but before leaving, for some unknown reason, he came to the second woman's grave by some strange combination of circumstances and placed the incense on that grave.

"You are the most pleasing to me. I would like to put a stick of incense on you before you leave. I, Zhou Deng, came here in vain."

He couldn't see anything special about this incense, and it seemed that it would burn out in a short time, and it would be useless if he kept it in his hands, so he simply threw it away. He was not interested in this kind of consumable, and it was not as useful as the lantern in his hand.

.

Carrying a white lantern, Zhou Deng returned the same way.

But it didn't take long for him to leave here.

The incense stick standing on the tomb was burning rapidly, and the ash of the incense fell down one by one. What's strange is that the smoke from the burning was not floating upward, but floating downward and sinking.

In that old grave.

The smile on the portrait of the woman on the tombstone in front of the grave seemed to have changed somewhat, and the smile became wider.

Then the portrait gradually faded, the color became lighter, and finally the portrait disappeared, leaving only a blank space on the tombstone.

next moment.

This old tomb suddenly sunk and collapsed.

A white hand with red nails suddenly appeared. The hand rested on the tombstone. With a slight movement, the tombstone collapsed and was buried in the sunken old grave.

Turn around.

A strange woman with a graceful figure and waist-length hair wearing a red cheongsam appeared in the middle of the open space.

This woman's whole body exudes a kind of fragrance, which is like the smell of the burning incense before, but also seems to have a different smell.

However, this woman did not have that rotten, lifeless feeling.

"Crash..."

The wind picked up in the nearby old forest, and the trees swayed and rustled.

"Chuck, cluck." The woman let out a laugh.

The laughter echoed, accented.

The swaying old trees immediately returned to calm.

The woman left, and she walked along the yellow mud road in the direction of the ancient house.

Under the red cheongsam is a pair of red high heels, as bright as blood, with a rust handkerchief hanging around her waist...elegant and weird.
