The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

After bypassing the old house, I immediately found that there is actually a trail behind the old house.

This is a trail extending from the back door of the ancient house all the way.

The road is also made of ordinary yellow mud, but there is not a single weed growing on the yellow mud, not even a dead leaf or branch that fell from the old tree.

Moreover, the color of the yellow mud looks very new, not like the old road that has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years, and finally has a color cast, as if this road has only been repaired for a few days, or it has just experienced a wheel refurbished.

In this gloomy old forest, such a brand-new yellow mud road is particularly eye-catching, making people have to imagine who built such an abrupt road.

"The person who built this road must be the owner of the ancient house. His purpose of building this road here must be to facilitate other people not to lose their way in the old forest. As for where this road will lead, it is up to you Go see it for yourself."

Li Leping didn't hesitate, he carried the coffin, which was not heavy at all, but was ridiculously light, just stepped onto the path and walked forward again.

Gu Li followed behind him, keeping an eye on the surrounding situation.

gradually.

The two followed this path and went deeper into the old forest.

"Fuck, why is it getting darker and darker?"

Suddenly, Gu Li, who had been following Li Leping, said in a low voice, with a somewhat urgent tone.

Because he found that as they went deeper into this old forest, the surrounding light became darker and darker.

If it was said that the sky was just a little darker at first, it is now as dark as dark clouds covering the sky and covering the sun.

The light that can shine here is getting less and less, right now Gu Li can barely see the back of Li Leping who is walking in front of him, and the nearby woods are all shrouded in darkness, only showing strange silhouettes.

Only in such a situation of insufficient light, Gu Li would realize how weird the old trees here are.

The old trees that are not dead are sitting and standing on both sides of the road like this. There are not a few branches left on the trunks that are neither thick nor thin, but those branches look particularly strange.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, the trunk swayed slightly, and the branches also swayed with the wind, making an uncomfortable "rustling" sound, like fingers dangling in the air, suspended in the middle of the sky. on the human head.

Li Leping glanced upwards, then looked back at the front that was still shrouded in darkness.

The yellow mud road stretched all the way forward, but due to the lack of light here, he couldn't see the end of the yellow mud road at all.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that they have fallen into some kind of danger, like a ghost hitting a wall, walking on a road that can never go out, as if there will never be an end in front of them.

"Continue? Or go back?"

Li Leping's expression was still calm, or extremely cold.

He turned his head slightly, but he could only see Gu Li behind him with apprehension in his eyes. Behind Gu Li, the darkness seemed to have completely enveloped them, so that they could no longer see the tower standing in the forest. old house in.

"There's only one way to go."

Li Leping chose to move on.

There are hidden hidden dangers everywhere in this ghost place, and it doesn't make any sense to him to go back to the original point, because there is only such a passage in this place at present, and compared to exploring the dangers in the old house, Li Leping would rather I'd rather find out where this trail leads.

Although he didn't feel any danger in the old house in front of the gate of the old house, and he didn't feel any discomfort or warning in his heart, but for some reason, he always felt that he couldn't break into the old house randomly.

It was as if there was an inexplicable danger hidden in that old house, like a taboo place that neither humans nor ghosts could wantonly break into.

If you break in without authorization, no matter if you are a person or a ghost, you will probably die inside.

I don't know how long it took.

Just when Gu Li felt more and more that the situation was not good, he planned to discuss whether he should start the ghost domain retreat.

The number of trees around the yellow mud road gradually decreased.

It seemed that they were about to walk out of this old forest and come to an open area again.

They did not guess wrong.

The next moment, another open space without any trees appeared in front of their eyes.

"That's it."

Li Leping stopped and looked at the open space in front of him.

This open area presents a circular shape, and is also covered with old trees around the open space paved with yellow mud. The dense trees finally completely surrounded the open space, and no one found that this place was still connected. other roads.

This shows that this open space is the end of the yellow mud road.

On the open space not far away, Li Leping saw several graves.

The old and new tombstones in front of the grave are different, some seem to have been built for many years, while others look a little brand new and bright, as if they have only been here for a few years.

What makes people feel a little creepy is that each tombstone is actually pasted with a portrait, and the name is engraved under the portrait, as if to indicate the identity of the owner of the tomb buried here.

"Four graves, that is to say, four people have been buried here, or are they four ghost masters?"

With the light of the flashlight hanging on his shoulder, Li Leping probably saw the number of graves in this open space.

Four graves, four people or ghosts buried here.

"It seems that this place is of great significance to that old lady, so much so that she wants to be buried here even if she dies. Is she planning to be buried with her former partners or teammates?"

When looking at the number of graves, the light of the flashlight inevitably shone on the portraits on the tombstones, revealing all the black and white portraits.

Four posthumous portraits, three men and one woman, all three men are dressed in old-fashioned clothes, and they don't look like people of this era.

The most striking thing is the second tomb.

Because the portrait shows that this is the only one of the four tombs where a female corpse is buried.

The woman on the portrait is smiling, showing her charm. She is wearing a cheongsam of unknown color, which outlines a beautiful figure.

"Li Qingzhi, Zhang Youhong, Luo Wensong, Luo Qian."

While Li Leping looked at the four portraits, he also saw the name engraved under the portraits.

These four age-inspired names seem to be not only the names of a certain person, but also represent the legends of the previous era.

Perhaps many years ago, these long-dead ghost masters had cooperated, and they were even equivalent to a team of ghost masters, but the strength of this team was completely beyond the imagination of this era.

Perhaps it was such a group of terrifying guys who finally quelled the supernatural events of that era, forcibly delaying the recovery of the ghosts for at least several decades.

Now, the four ghost masters who were at the top of the era are finally buried here, which seems to herald the demise of the ghost masters in the Republic of China. The ghost masters who once stood at the top will eventually fade away one day. .

And today, the fifth ghost master who was once at the peak of the era is about to be buried here, and she will be buried here with her former teammates.

"Just bury it here."

Li Leping glanced at the four tombstones, and looked at the portraits for a while. After confirming that nothing had changed, he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at an open space next to the four graves.

What makes one's scalp tingle is that a rusty shovel is standing in the open space.

"Damn, this place is really weird and scary."

Gu Li looked at the shovel. The shovel, which seemed to be no different from that used for farming in the countryside, gave him an extreme chill. This chill went straight to the sky, making his hands and feet feel cold.

There is such a shovel stuck in the ground, doesn't it mean that someone has already expected that they will carry the coffin here, and then bury the coffin here?

That's why that person thoughtfully left a shovel here for them to use.

But that's the problem.

Such a considerate move immediately made Gu Li's scalp tingle, and he felt extremely terrified.

Because it is impossible to allow normal people to move about in this place.

So, what could have left them with such a shovel?
The more he thought about it, the more Gu Li didn't dare to think about it. He could only bite the bullet and say, "In short, bury this coffin first, and then quickly find a way to evacuate it. There are too many things wrong with this place."

"The shovel standing here may indicate the location of the grave."

Li Leping gave Gu Li a look, then gently put down the coffin.

Without much fear, he reached out and touched the shovel.

The shovel did not produce any strange effects. It seems that this thing is not a supernatural item, it is indeed just a very ordinary old object.

Without hesitation, since he picked up the shovel, there was no need to delay anything, Li Leping directly shoveled down with the shovel.

"Boom!"

However, as soon as the shovel was shoveled into the ground, he felt that the front end of the shovel seemed to hit something.

This thing is very hard, not like a corpse.

"what?"

Gu Li reacted. At this time, he was no longer too cautious. He took off his gloves, stretched out his pale and slender palms, and suddenly dug up the dirt that had been lifted.

It turned out to be a bluestone tombstone without words.

Except for a little bit of mud on the tombstone, there is nothing, it is blank.

"Interesting, it's the first time I heard that the tombstone used to be placed in front of the grave will be buried in the soil and hidden. There is no writing on the tombstone. How can it work without words?"

Gu Li used his hands to dig the soil covering the tombstone a few more times, and after digging it up, he pulled out the tombstone that seemed to be embedded in the ground.

He shook his hands while getting up, and threw the dirt on his fingers to the ground. Then he picked up the tombstone and walked aside, took out a pack of tissues from his trousers pocket, and began to simply wipe the tombstone, intending to remove the dirt stuck to the tombstone. Dirt cleaned up.

This kind of behavior seems to be very concerned about the decency of the deceased, but in the final analysis, Gu Li did not want to watch Li Leping dig a hole all the time.

It's too embarrassing to be empty-handed and do nothing.

Li Leping didn't say much, and continued digging with a shovel.

His body is not like ordinary people, he doesn't know fatigue and fatigue, and his strength is even more frightening. When he shovels down, he will lift up a large piece of soil, and his digging speed is very fast.

After a period of time, an earth pit that could hold the entire coffin appeared. Just in case, he dug a little deeper to prevent the earth covering it from being thick enough.

"It's almost the same on my side." Gu Li said, looking at the clean tombstone.

"Then bury it."

This time, Li Leping didn't ask Gu Li to help him. Like holding a child, he lifted the bottom of the coffin with one hand and covered the coffin with the other, and just put the light coffin into the pit.

Then, he began to fill and bury it.

From the first time Li Leping saw the coffin to the burial, all the process was very quiet without any abnormality.

Sometimes, he even doubted whether there was anything in the coffin.

But after thinking about it carefully, that old lady shouldn't have to play empty tricks on this kind of thing.

After working on this open space for about an hour, a grave buried in loess appeared next to the four graves.

This is the fifth grave in the old forest, belonging to the unknown old woman.

In the end, Gu Li put the wordless tombstone in front of the grave. After clapping his hands, he suddenly put his palms together with a solemn expression.

Afterwards, he bowed respectfully three times, and said like a filial son and grandson: "Grandma, we are in a hurry, and we are taking an unusual road. We couldn't buy worship supplies along the way, so the arrangement is a bit simple. There are a lot of adults, so don’t blame us, you have gone well all the way, we will always miss you, may you have a spirit in the sky, and bless us to end this chaotic era as soon as possible and usher in peace as soon as possible.”

After saying these mourning words, Gu Li slowly straightened up, looked at the wordless tombstone, turned to look at Li Leping, and asked, "Don't you really know the name of this old woman? There is a I don’t even have a name, I think it’s a bit strange, if you put an empty tombstone like this, the dead won’t go unsafe.”

Li Leping looked at the suspicious Gu Li expressionlessly: "I can't even remember my own name, and you still ask me if I know another person's name? Also, where did you come from?" So many feudal superstitions? Besides, what does it matter to you whether people walk in peace or not? Can she still depend on you?"

"Shh!"

As soon as he heard the words "I'm depending on you", Gu Li's expression changed suddenly, and he quickly put his index finger in front of his lips, signaling Li Leping not to talk nonsense, lest disaster come out of his mouth.

Afterwards, he said in a low voice: "There is a folk saying that the soul of a person who has just died will not leave so quickly, and will stay in the world for a while. In the human world, if you put your body on a child at home, use the child's mouth to say some strange things, or keep dreaming about family members, smashing family objects, etc., if you stay for a long time, you may turn into a grieving ghost."

"Then should I go to Longhu Mountain to find some Taoist priests to help you get rid of ghosts?" Li Leping reached out and patted the golden nameplate on Gu Li's chest, and then added, "Compared to the position of the person in charge, you are not It’s really a lack of talent to write supernatural novels.”

"What you said, I really want to write, just write all my own experiences, and add a little touch of pen and ink embellishment, I believe it is enough to weave thrilling stories one by one, but the problem is that it can't pass the review."

When Gu Li opened his mouth, it was a slide that couldn't be touched.

"Okay, don't talk to me about this topic. If you really have this plan, just do it directly. No one will feel stuck on your neck."

After finishing speaking, Li Leping turned around first, not intending to discuss such inappropriate topics with Gu Li here.

Now, how to get out is the key.

However, the moment he turned around, he seemed to see something terrifying, his body tensed up in an instant, his lifeless eyes shrank suddenly, and his originally numb face suddenly appeared. He showed a look of astonishment.

Because at some point, an old man stood in the darkness behind him and Gu Li.

But he and Gu Li, the two ghost masters who have experienced countless dangers and are immediately aware of changes around them, did not notice it.

The old man stood there quietly with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
