Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

The three of them walked inside.

The trees are tall and dense, blocking out the sunlight.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves and dead branches, which made a rustling sound when stepped on.

Maybe it was because it rained yesterday evening.

At this time, the mountains were filled with a thin layer of fog, making it difficult to tell the direction.

Hu Bayi took out a compass and the three of them moved forward in the direction indicated by the compass.

……

"Old Hu, there are some wild fruits here, would you like to try some?"

"No, in case it's poisonous!"

"It's possible, but these fruits have whetted my appetite. Oh, never mind. I want to try them."

As he said that, the fat man immediately stretched out his hand, used both hands, grabbed a handful, and threw it to Hu Bayi, Chu Tian and others.

Hu Bayi observed the red fruit and was a little hesitant to eat it.

"Oh, what are you afraid of, Lao Hu? You won't die."

"It's okay. This fruit is edible. I ate it yesterday and it tasted pretty good. Lao Hu, try it."

Hu Bayi finally felt relieved and put the fruit into his mouth.

"Yeah, it's good, sweet and sour, and quite delicious."

"Isn't it, Lao Hu, hehehe."

……

Hu Bayi and Fatty walked inside while eating.

The experience of going down the mountain yesterday still lingers in Chu Tian’s mind.

Although he was afraid at that time, the tree with the red skirt hanging on it was deeply imprinted in his mind.

To do this, he clearly remembered the approximate location of the tree and its surroundings.

……

When Chu Tian saw a large rock covered with moss, he stopped.

He took a deep breath and raised his head.

however.

That bright red color disappeared without a trace.

"How could that be? You were clearly here yesterday."

Hu Bayi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Will it be blown away by the wind?"

"Brother Tian, ​​maybe you were nervous at that time, so your eyesight was blurry."

"Impossible. When I went there yesterday, I brought a guide from the village with me, and that person also saw it."

Hu Bayi comforted Chu Tian, ​​"It's better if it's gone, Brother Tian, ​​let's go to the mass grave and take a look."

"Ah."

……

Mass graves.

The mountain was so foggy and shadowy that it was impossible to tell how many graves there were.

"Oh my god, this is too creepy..."

The fat man couldn't help but shiver and began to stutter.

"Brother Tian, ​​I can't see clearly. How many graves are there?"

"I counted them yesterday, and there were thirty in all."

"Thirty? How many people must have been buried here?"

The fat man exclaimed, his eyes widened.

Hu Bayi looked solemn. He immediately took out a compass and began to carefully observe the surrounding aura.

I saw that the compass needle was shaking and couldn't stop.

"The magnetic field here is chaotic, and the yin energy is extremely heavy."

"Moreover, I have observed that the layout of these graves is specially planned, which means that these graves are arranged according to a formation."

"Array?"

"Yes, a formation. And it's not an ordinary formation, but..."

"But what? Tell me now!"

The fat man was almost driven crazy by Hu Bayi's habit of speaking half of his sentences.

"It's the 'Soul Locking Formation'"

"Soul-locking formation?!"

"This Soul Locking Formation, as the name suggests, uses the soul as a guide to lock the soul of the deceased in the formation, preventing them from reincarnation forever."

"Oh my God!"

The fat man's legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground.

"Well, then why are we still standing there? Let's run!"

However, Hu Bayi grabbed the fat man and shook his head.

"It's too late. We have already stepped into the Soul Locking Formation. In other words, we must find the center of the formation to break it, otherwise..."

He paused, his tone serious, "Otherwise we will all have to stay here and keep these lonely ghosts company!"

When the fat man heard this, he turned pale with fright.

"Then, then aren't we doomed?"

"uncertain."

Hu Bayi pondered for a moment, then continued, "Although the Soul Locking Formation is powerful, it is not unsolvable. As long as we find the center of the formation and break the foundation of the formation, we can resolve the crisis."

"Old Hu, how do we find the center of this formation?"

Chu Tian suppressed the fear in his heart, he knew that now was not the time to panic.

"This formation eye is the key to controlling the entire formation. If you want to find the formation eye, you must first find the core of the formation."

"Core?" Chu Tian was even more confused. "How do I find it?"

Hu Bayi narrowed his eyes and looked into the depths of the mass grave.

"This soul-locking formation is usually set up by a Feng Shui master or a skilled practitioner. When setting up the formation, they will choose a place with the heaviest yin energy as the core of the formation."

"The place with the heaviest yin energy?"

Chu Tian looked around.

This mass grave is filled with graves.

Everywhere is eerie.

How can you tell which place has the heaviest yin energy?

Just then, a gust of wind blew and the surrounding trees began to rustle.

"Lao Hu, why do I feel a chill, as if something is staring at us?"

The fat man followed Hu Bayi closely, and his voice was trembling.

"Don't scare yourself!"

Although Hu Bayi said this, he was a little nervous.

"Let's go and take a look. I'm afraid we can't see anything standing here."

Hu Bayi said this and took the lead to walk towards the thick fog.

"Wait for me!"

Fatty and Chu Tian quickly followed.

The closer Chu Tian got to the thick fog, the lower the temperature around him felt.

The cold wind made him feel uneasy.

……

When he thought he was almost at the end, Hu Bayi took out the compass again.

I saw the pointer spinning so fast that I had lost my sense of direction.

"Oh no, there's something strange about this fog!"

Hu Bayi's face changed and he was about to remind Chu Tian and Fatty.

suddenly!

A pale hand stretched out from the thick fog and suddenly grabbed his neck!

"careful!"

Chu Tian was quick-witted and quick-handed. He threw Hu Bayi to the ground and successfully avoided the attack of that hand.

"call……"

Hu Bayi, still in shock, got up from the ground.

I looked at the hand retracting into the thick fog with lingering fear, and a chill ran down my back.

"Fuck! What?!"

The fat man screamed in fright and almost fell to the ground.

When Hu Bayi looked over again, the hand had disappeared.

"It's a ghost hand!"

Hu Bayi's face was solemn. "Everyone, be careful. There might be something else in this fog!"

The voice just fell.

The ghost hand attacked again, heading straight for the fat man's throat!

"Fat man, be careful!"

next second.

"what!"

The fat man screamed.

He endured the severe pain and shouted through gritted teeth.

“Brother Tian…save…save me!”

Chu Tian was about to go over and knock that hand away.

But then I heard the fat man shout again.

"Don't come over here yet! This damn thing... seems to be... sucking my yang energy!"

really.

I saw that the ghost hand was tightly grasping the fat man's neck.

Streams of black air continuously flowed out of his body and penetrated into the ghost hand.

The fat man's face became paler and paler, his lips began to turn purple, and his whole body looked like it was being sucked dry.

“What…what should we do? Brother Tian, ​​Lao…Lao Hu, think…think of a solution!”

The fat man was as anxious as an ant on hot pan, but there was nothing he could do.

Hu Bayi stared at the ghost hand, his brain working rapidly, trying to find a way to crack it.

At the side, Chu Tian suddenly had an idea and took out a black donkey hoof from his bag.

Looking at Hu Bayi, "How about giving it a try?"

"The black donkey hoof is specially used to deal with zongzi, this..."

"It's okay. Let's give it a try."
