Chapter 970 Exchange

Everyone stood in the open space in the old forest with white lanterns.

There are five old graves in this open space. One of them has collapsed. The tombstones are all sank to the ground, but looking at the traces, the collapsed old grave seems to have happened recently.

besides.

There is a blue and white bowl in front of the tombstones of these five old graves, which contains a bowl of white rice. The white rice is clearly grainy, half-cooked, and has not rotted or deteriorated, and there is no clean dust at all.

Obviously.

This white rice is a sacrifice for the dead.

But now what Yang Jian, Li Yang, Eagle and others have to consider is how many bowls of white rice should be taken today.

Because from previous speculations, the fifth day of the ancient house is likely to be a ghost banquet, and the white rice required on this fifth day must be taken away today, otherwise there will be no chance to come here again in the future.

Everyone agrees with this statement.

I really waited until the fifth day of the Ghost Banquet to get white rice, but I was afraid I wouldn't have that kind of life.

There is still plenty of time, and we still have time to think slowly, and there is no rush.Yang Xiaohua comforted everyone at this moment.

The eagle on the side nodded: Time is indeed sufficient, but it is not worth it to spend time on this issue. We will have to go to other places to see it later. We can't keep thinking about the issue of a few bowls of rice here.

Five graves and five bowls of rice. Li Yang is right. One bowl is definitely not enough. At least two bowls have to be taken away.Fan Xing pondered.

Daqiang said: You can only eat more, not less, it’s less, and the fifth day is not enough to deal with the ghosts in the ancient house. We will be attacked by the evil ghosts in the ancient house again, so we cannot hesitate about this choice.

Don’t forget that if these old graves are out of control, the danger of us coming here will increase next time. The so-called seven-day ancient house, I think the sixth day, or the seventh day, must be funeral. Build the coffin into this old forest and add the sixth tomb here.The eagle reminded again.

If the fifth day is a ghost banquet, then the sixth day and the seventh day must be a funeral one day.

The funeral place is here.

This open space is even prepared for shovels, just for digging cemeteries.

So everyone will come here again later.

But this time I took the white rice away, breaking the balance here, and the next time I was in danger.

Then take three bowls of rice with you, the quantity is a bit more balanced.Fan Xing looked at Yang Jian: Team Yang, what do you think of this proposal?

The others also glanced at it at this moment.

At present, only Yang Jian can make the decision. No matter what they say, they are just suggestions and cannot play a decisive role.

Yang Jian was also thinking, and he thought of something that happened before.

That is, Zhou Deng took a stick of incense in front of the coffin before, and then when Zhou Deng appeared in the back hall, he said that he left a stick of incense here.

Now the old grave in this place has collapsed, and it is suspected that the evil ghost wearing high heels walked out of the old grave.

So this might be a clue.

Change one stick of incense to another bowl of rice?

The fragrance is for ghosts, and the rice is for people to eat.

If one stick of incense is exchanged for a bowl of rice, would it be possible to return to the ancient house to get the other two sticks of incense?Yang Jian's expression moved.

However, in order to prove this conjecture, he searched in the collapsed old grave and ignored the other people's inquiries.

Captain, what are you looking for?Li Yang asked.

Found it.

Yang Jian quickly found a small wooden stick from the yellow soil. Although only a little bit was left, it could still be judged that it was a burning fragrance.

Is the incense that Zhou Deng took from the ancient house before here?Everyone's expression changed when they saw this.

It turns out that, if one stick of incense is exchanged for another bowl of rice, the three sticks of incense in front of the coffin were prepared at this time.The eagle woke up and said in surprise.

Yang Jian said: It’s not certain yet, but at least it can be confirmed that the rice can be taken away after the collapse of this old grave, and there is no danger. However, the previous incense was suspected to have released a ghost in advance. If it was a stick of incense for a bowl of rice, it would mean that we would have to release two more ghosts?

Captain, have you forgotten?The remaining two incense sticks were extinguished and no longer burned. Zhou Deng took away the incense burned the next day.Li Yang said.

Yang Jian frowned: Do you mean, Zhou Deng’s Wuxiang was in advance?Shouldn't he bring the incense to this place so early?

Zhou Deng did the third day on the second day, which led to the imbalance of the ancient house. The night watch and the death report came together. If we were normal, we should take the three incense sticks on the third day and come here to exchange for three bowls of rice, and then deal with the ghost banquet on the fifth day.

The order is messed up.So before the incense was extinguished, it stayed here, causing the evil ghosts here to run out of control.

It makes a lot of sense.Fan Xing, Eagle, Daqiang and others nodded.

None of them are idiots. Although their personalities are different, Li Yang understood the meaning of these words after saying this.

Do the right things at the right time. Once chaos occurs, danger will come. The way to survive in this ancient house is to abide by order.Yang Jian pondered.

Go back to get incense.

He felt that this method was right and turned back without hesitation.

Everyone soon arrived at the back hall of the ancient house again.

The door to the back hall is open.

A red coffin was placed there, which was particularly conspicuous.

There is also an incense burner in front of the coffin, with two incense sticks inserted, one long and one short. The long one basically does not burn anything, but the short one is almost finished.

The two incense sticks have been extinguished at this moment, and no longer the fragrance has floated out.

You hold it.Yang Jian handed the white lantern to Li Yang and then strode into the back hall.

Everything is safe.

Because it is the third day, the ghosts that appeared during the vigil the next day no longer appear, and the remaining danger comes from outside the ancient house.

But as long as the white lantern is not lost, everyone will be safe.

It is very safe on the way back to Yangjian.

He took away the remaining two incense sticks, then took everyone back the same way, and returned to the open space of the old forest again.

Two incense sticks were inserted on the tomb of an old tomb, and then two bowls of white rice in front of the tombstone were taken away.

Everyone was worried and even observed for half an hour.

Because once something happens, they will put things back immediately.

It seems that the judgment is accurate. Three incense sticks have three bowls of rice. This is a deal with the dead. The arrangement of the ancient house seems to be very meaningful, not just a funeral.

Yang Jian stared at the tombstones and looked at them: Let's go, let's go to another place for the rest of the time.

Everyone nodded with deep understanding.

On the way, Daqiang suddenly asked: What if the fragrance was exhausted during the night watch the next day?

Then you can't change the white rice. If you burn all incense, you will lose a bowl of rice. The incense can protect us, but that is the safety of the fifth day.Yang Jian said.

Fan Xing said: So, Zhou Deng still helped us indirectly?If he hadn't disrupted the arrangement and reported the deceased in advance, causing the ancient house to lose balance and extinguish the incense, otherwise we would not have kept the remaining two incense sticks.

But he also brought trouble. The next day, I didn't hold back the ghost in the lobby, and you all would die.Yang Jian said coldly.

Putting Zhou Deng aside, this danger did let us know a lot of information and intelligence, so we would not be as ignorant as the first day, and would not know how to die in the end.Eagle said: But if Yang Jian is indeed not the next day, we will die in the back hall, so we must consider the next action more clearly.

Now I have taken three bowls of white rice and I have the things for the Ghost Banquet on the fifth day. So how can I survive tomorrow, that is, the fourth day of condolences?Daqiang asked.

This needs to be discussed.The eagle said.

Everyone was still in a heavy mood.

Because the first seventh is getting closer and closer, the dangers encountered later will definitely be greater than those of the previous few days, and even the first seventh one will come, the most dangerous message delivery mission will also come.

And now everyone doesn’t know who this letter is for, and they only know that the person who receives the letter will definitely appear in the ancient house.

The extra person or ghost at that time must be the recipient of the letter.

It's still early now, don't waste time around the ancient house, go to the old forest in front to take a look.Yang Jian said: Let’s take advantage of this time to understand the situation here.

Everyone agreed.

They walked around to the gate of the ancient house, and then walked along a small path into the not-so-large old forest in front.

The route is still the same as when we came, without any change.

Yang Jian walked in front with a white lantern. He was observing the old forest, and he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

It seems that this old forest is very dangerous.

But he looked around but did not see any danger.

After leaving the ancient house, the suppression of the ghost eyes disappeared.Yang Jian used his ghost eyes at this moment and peered at the surroundings.

The darkness in Lao Lin had no effect on him.

soon.

Everyone walked to the end of this old forest.

It is a modern asphalt road, which looks out of place with the appearance of the ancient house before, but the road cannot be seen from left to right. It is hazy in the distance, and everything seems to be shrouded in mist. It seems that the world is only so big that it cannot be expanded any more.

The bus left.Fan Xing looked at his previous location.

The supernatural bus had long disappeared, with only some blood remaining on the ground, and some ordinary personal supplies. It seems that these things can prove that a group of people got off the bus here before and encountered danger.

The body is gone.The eagle said: And...

And what?Li Yang asked.

The eagle said: It's nothing, I just feel that there seem to be a few more trees on the side of the road. When I got off the bus before, it seemed that there weren't those trees. Maybe it was an illusion, I thought too much.

If you don't find anything, go back.Yang Jian said: I can’t wait for the bus here.

Everyone was about to return.

At this time, Yang Xiaohua suddenly stopped and her face froze: Yang Jian, wait a moment, I seem to have stepped on something.

Um?Yang Jian looked at Yang Xiaohua's feet.

Yang Xiaohua was wearing a pair of running shoes, but the place where she stood was slightly raised, as if something was there.

After carefully moving my feet away, I found that it was a pale palm under my feet.

A dead hand?The eagle subconsciously became alert.

Yang Jian then handed the lantern to Li Yang, then walked over and signaled.

Yang Xiaohua nodded, jumped away immediately, and hid to the side.

Yang Jian held a long spear with a cracked hair and thrust the hand.

There was no reaction, and there were no corpse spots on his hands, nor any signs of rotting. Although the color was pale, it was still very fresh.

If it is a dead body, it must be the kind that has just died.

He looked in the direction of his arm and found that the palm was stretched out from the direction of Lao Lin next to him.

He is the ghost driver who died here before.Yang Jian said, then squatted down, and he stretched out his black ghost hand and grabbed the cold arm directly.

Reach out and pull.

A dead body was pulled out of the soil next to him.

This dead body is a little familiar.

But what makes people feel strange is that there is a piece of yellow paper sticking to the face of the dead body.

The yellow paper is very large, covering almost the entire face, but it is incomplete and cannot cover all the faces.

It's Zhou Deng.Fan Xing immediately exclaimed.

He knew Zhou Deng, and he had already greeted Zhou Deng on the bus. Both of them were ghost drivers affiliated to the headquarters and were quite familiar with each other. Even if Zhou Deng now had yellow paper covering his face, he could still tell it at a glance.

The clothes and body shape are indeed Zhou Deng, and he is dead.Yang Jian confirmed that Zhou Deng's body was cold. Although it was not stiff, it no longer had the breath of life.

It is swaying everywhere, which is harmful to people, and it is normal to die.Daqiang spat: I have to throw this guy's body away to avoid being intoxicated.

The eagle said: Actually, he doesn’t know what will happen in the ancient house. He is also trying to survive, but he just chose the wrong method.

He didn't hate Zhou Deng because he didn't think about harming others in the past, he just liked to wander around alone.

Moreover, when Zhou Deng disappeared in the end, he took the initiative to carry a lantern and lure the ghost away, not deliberately causing trouble for everyone.

Everyone is dead, so it doesn't matter.

Yang Jian said: But how could he die here?I remember that before he left, he was holding a lantern in his hand. According to the current situation, as long as the lantern is not left, he will not be attacked by ghosts.

Who knows, anything can happen in this place.Li Yang shook his head and said.

Yang Jian didn't say anything, but just looked at the yellow paper covered by Zhou Deng's face, thought for a while, and stretched out his black ghost hand tore off the yellow paper.

Although the yellow paper is very tightly applied to the face, it is not sticky and can easily be torn apart.

The yellow paper was pulled off.

A strange face was revealed, which was not Zhou Deng's at all.

But the next moment, Zhou Deng suddenly opened his eyes, then opened his mouth, gasping for breath, as if he was about to suffocate.

Everyone was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Yang Jian was holding a cracked spear in his hand, and the long coffin nail was about to fall to Zhou Deng's forehead.

Wait, wait a moment.Zhou Deng hurriedly reached out to his hand.

The coffin stopped in front of Zhou Deng's forehead.

One second later, Yang Jian would pierce his head and nail it to the ground.

Live?Yang Jian's expression moved slightly, a little surprised.

I'm not dead at all, Team Yang, I'm really done if you fall into this thing.

Zhou Deng hurriedly turned over and sat up. He reached out and tore off a human skin mask on his face, and then returned to his original appearance.

Not dead?It doesn't matter, I can give you a ride.Yang Jian said.

Team Yang, everyone is a colleague, why should you be so heartless?I probably have nothing to offend Team Yang.Zhou Deng's eyelids twitched.

Fan Xing cursed: You dare to say that you have nothing to offend Team Yang. You guy almost killed us all. If you hadn't walked around with white lanterns, how could the ancient house lose balance? We almost wiped out yesterday. Look, now this is the only one who dies.

Zhou Deng looked at the others.

It was found that the number of people was indeed small, and the number of people on the first day was almost 60%.

I almost died, if I want to harm you, how could I kill myself too?Zhou Deng stood up after taking pictures of the dust.

Yang Jian looked at him coldly.

This guy was indeed unintentional, otherwise he would not have been buried here. There must be an accident in the middle.

Tell me, what's going on with you?Yang Jian said.

Zhou Deng said: This is not a place to speak now, let’s leave this forest first.

Where is your lantern?the eagle asked.

Snatched away.Zhou Deng said this with a look of lingering fear.
