It was slowly getting dark, the cold wind was blowing, and Qi Lu felt that he was about to swing.
Just when the three of them were dazed, Lao Wu suddenly pointed ahead happily and said, "Look what it is" Qi Lu looked and found that the trees in the woods had become scarce at some point, and his vision had widened a lot, the road was full of weeds and low bushes on both sides, and there was a building on the side of the road in front of them, but it was too dark to see what kind of building it was.
The three of them quickened their pace and walked to the front of the building, only to find that it was a house made of wood, and Lao Wu was about to go up and knock on the door, but Qi Lu grabbed him and said, "You see that the eaves are covered with cobwebs, where will there be people living in the house." ” "Then let's go in and rest for the night, I don't want to be eaten by tigers and leopards at night."
Lao Wu stretched out his hand to push the dusty wooden door, and the rotten wooden door collapsed in response, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The three of them covered their noses and walked into the wooden house, and found that the ground was full of dust and dirt, and the few worn-out wooden benches were also rotten.
Fortunately, Qi Lu and Lao Wu are people who often sleep in the wild, and they are more experienced, so they looked at each other and smiled at each other and picked up some dry firewood and hay from outside and brought them into the house.
Lao Wu took out a lighter and tried it, but he was delighted to find that he could still light a fire, so he hurriedly lit a fire with hay, and the three of them gathered around the fire to make a fire.
Xu Xian's expression looked a little nervous, he kept looking at the wooden house, and finally said to Qi Lu worriedly: "This house is full of evil spirits, I don't think it is suitable to stay here for a long time." ” "What are you afraid of, even if it's a demonic house, I'll sleep until tomorrow morning before leaving."
Qi Lu dismantled all the broken wooden benches and threw them in the fire, and then cheered Xu Xian up.
"With the ability of the three of us, which demon can hurt us, everyone is tired today, how can we hurry tomorrow if we don't rest?"
"That's all it can be."
Xu Xian sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested like an old monk, Qi Lu leaned against the corner of the wall and dozed off, only Lao Wu was not dirty, and fell asleep beside the fire.
In the middle of the night, Qi Lu was awakened by a strange noise outside the house, he quickly got up and came to the corner of the door to peek out, but saw nothing.
"Is it an illusion" Qi Lu yawned and was about to go back to sleep, when he suddenly felt a thick yin qi coming down the wind, and at the same time heard a woman's sharp and miserable cry for help, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He quickly turned his head to look outside the house, and he was shocked by what he saw.
I saw a good-looking girl with a disheveled hair running out of the wild grass.
She was dressed in ancient clothes, and her clothes had been pierced by thorns, but she didn't care about the pain, but ran towards the wooden house for her life, crying for help as she fled.
But just as she was about to run to the wooden house, her body stumbled and she actually fell to the ground.
This fall seemed to exhaust all her strength, and she could no longer get up.
But she still crawled towards the hut, as if it were her shelter.
Qi Lu couldn't help but feel compassion, and when he wanted to go out to help her, his hand was grabbed, and when he looked back, he found that Lao Wu was standing behind him for some time, and Xu Xian also woke up, presumably they also heard the movement outside.
Lao Wu said softly: "I made a low-level mistake again." ” Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, because a resentment had quietly penetrated into his nose.
At this moment, there was another sound of messy footsteps in the grass, and several young men in ancient clothes like the fallen woman ran quickly, and they came to the woman's side and helped her to sit aside.
Old Wu glanced at Qi Lu and Xu Xian, and the three of them knowingly hid behind the door to observe the movements of strangers outside.
"I'm going in, I'm going to go in," the woman who came first cried out and pushed away the hand of the man who was helping her, and ran towards the hut again, but before she could get close to it, she was shaken to the ground.
It was as if the hut was surrounded by an invisible barrier that prevented the strangers from entering.
Lao Wu said in a low voice: "They are not living people, they are all ghosts.
Don't be fooled by the illusion, I guess they're setting up a game to lure us out. ” "Well, you're right."
Qi Lu nodded lightly and said, "I was careless just now, and I almost caught their way." ” Xu Xian said disapprerovingly: "It is our duty to transform the undead, so let's go out and surpass them now." ” "Don't worry," Qi Lu hurriedly stopped his actions, "Let's see what the hell they are doing first." ” At this time, a thin young man outside the house spoke, "Ah Xian, stop having illusions, let's wait for God's curse." ” "I've had enough, I've had enough" Ah Xian's voice whimpered, "When will this endless ordeal end?"
Suddenly, a dull thunder sounded in the clouds in the sky, and the ghosts outside the house shrank in fright when they heard the thunder, but they did not run away, but snuggled up to each other and comforted each other.
With a "bang", a bright light flashed, and Qi Lu was surprised to find that several cross-like wooden stakes appeared in the ground behind these ghosts, and these ghosts were involuntarily attached to the wooden frame as if they were firmly attracted by a magnet.
A rope sticks out from the top of each wooden frame, holding them tightly around their necks.
"Forgive us" "God, save us" The ghosts let out a wail, and their faces were full of horror.
Countless whistling sounds burst through the air, golden arrows from all directions, piercing the bodies of these ghosts, shooting them to a thousand holes, and these ghosts gradually swallowed in the screams.
"It's a strange thing."
Qi Lu sighed softly, it stands to reason that ghosts should be punished in hell after they die, how can these lonely souls and wild ghosts suffer from heaven in this forest.
"Don't be silent, it's not true, it must be a game set up by the evil ghosts, trying to trick us into going out to rescue" Before he finished speaking, Lao Wu's pupils suddenly retracted, and he gestured in a panic to signal everyone to look at the movement outside.
I saw that the corpses of the ghosts hanging on the wooden frame revealed their original forms at some point, the woman named Ah Xian was a big golden carp, and several companions were some shrimp, crabs and other monsters.
"Could it be that they were monsters when they were alive" Qi Lu was stunned again.
He looked back and saw that Lao Wu had the same confused look in his eyes as he was, but Xu Xian showed an uncharacteristically sad expression.
Qi Lu's heart couldn't help but move, and before he could whisper to Xu Xian, he heard the sound of rope breaking one after another outside the house, and when he looked back again, he found that the ropes that hung the corpses of those monsters were all broken, and they all fell to the ground, and the wooden frame disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There was silence outside, and not even the sound of the wind could be heard.
After a few minutes or so, there were several groans of pain from the corpses, and the strange ghosts, who seemed to be completely dead, got up from the ground as if nothing happened, regained their human form, and the wounds pierced by the golden arrow healed on their own.
Qi Lu was startled, opened his eyes, and found that the demon spirits were already sitting around and talking in a whisper, and the content of the words seemed to be talking about the old wooden house where he was resting.
"It's been a long time since I've smelled a raw person."

"Yes, it's strange, there's someone in the house today."
"Hurry up, or you will miss tonight, and I am afraid that I will suffer for another year" "Well, wait a little longer, I will not add to my iniquity."
Qi Lu was already curious when he heard these brainless words they said, he turned his head and asked Lao Wu softly: "What should we do?"
"What else can I do, of course, stay in the house and wait for the sun to come out before making plans."
But Qi Lu didn't agree with Lao Wu's proposal, he wanted to urgently know the origin of these demon spirits outside, otherwise how could he sleep peacefully tonight.
So he passed by the two of them and walked straight out the door.
"Hey, you messy guy, you're really going to have nothing to do" Lao Wu scolded him, and had no choice but to follow him out.
"Ah, I haven't seen a living person for a long time, let's eat him" Ah Xian saw Qi Lu and the three of them come out of the wooden house by themselves, and they were immediately overjoyed, and the bloody mouth had already appeared in the shape of a fish.
"Don't hurt innocent people" A companion in a green shirt quickly stopped her actions, and he shouted at Qi Lu and the three of them: "Who are you waiting for, you are dressed so strangely" Qi Lu pursed his lips and smiled, thinking that of course you ancients would think that I was dressed strangely, so I would better ask them first and ask for directions by the way.
So he imitated the tone of the man in the green shirt and said, "We are passing merchants, from a remote place in the north of the country.
I don't know who you are."
"We are all people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there is no way back if we linger here."
The man in the green shirt suddenly lowered his face and said, "Everyone, I'm a ghost, aren't you afraid?"
Qi Lu replied with a smile: "I haven't met a living person along the way, and it's a pleasant thing to chat with ghosts." ” "You better go back the way you came, and don't lose your lives unjustly."
"Hehe, the heart is naturally far away from all evils, why am I afraid?"
Qi Lu's words were obviously a little ironic, Ah Xian's face immediately changed after hearing this, and his hand instantly turned into a sharp claw, rushing towards Qi Lu.
Qi Lu didn't panic when she saw that she was angry, she recited a spell lightly in her mouth, and as soon as Ah Xuan's hand touched Qi Lu's body, she felt like she had touched a piece of burning charcoal, and she couldn't help but wail and quickly retracted her hands.
Qi Lu's face also changed, and he shouted: "You lonely souls and wild ghosts, don't go to reincarnate with peace of mind, you actually have the heart of harming others, do you really want me to beat you to the point that you are willing to give up?"
"Mage spare life" These demon spirits suddenly knew that Qi Lu was not an ordinary passerby, and their faces trembled with fright, and they quickly knelt down and kowtowed to ask for guilt, Ah Xian's cheeks were crimson, and he said in a low voice: "The slave family has no eyes, and offended the mage, and I hope you will go to the door of convenience and save me and other lonely souls." i0 t1706231537:
