Just as he was talking, an old man with a hunchback came out of the house. This old man with a hunchback looked extremely ugly, seven times uglier than the old ghost. Tang Yan was shocked. When the old man saw a group of people sitting in front of his house, he started talking.
He said in a hoarse voice: "It's been really lively recently. It's rare for so many guests to come to this old forest all at once. You must be exhausted. Come in and have a drink of water."
The water bottles carried by the beast and the monkey were empty, and they were very thirsty. They quickly thanked the hunchbacked old man and went into the house to find water.
Yu Fei stood outside and looked around, lowered his head and asked Xiaobai softly: "Is this where you found the bunch of keys?"
Xiaobai nodded, then ran to a big tree in front of the door and started scratching.
Yu Fei approached the big tree: "You said they were found under this tree, so where did they go after that?"
Xiaobai shook his head this time.
"What? You said you don't know? How is that possible?" Yu Fei said in shock. This Xiaobai is a fox demon. Not only does his nose have a much better nose than ordinary dogs, but he can also sense the weak aura emitted by the human body. But now it
There was no direction when I found this place. Could it be that several children disappeared out of thin air.
On the other side, the beast was holding a wooden spoon and sipping sweet mountain spring water, and asked the hunchbacked old man: "Uncle, have you seen any city children coming here in the past few days?"
The hunchbacked old man chuckled: "I knew you were here to find some missing children. Several waves of people have come to my place to ask questions in the past few days. The police in the town have also come, but I really haven't seen them. I think
They probably didn’t take this route.”
Yu Fei happened to hear what the hunchbacked old man said, and couldn't help frowning and said: "However, we found a set of keys under the big tree outside the house. It was exactly what fell from these children."
The beast rushed over excitedly: "Brother Fei! Are you saying that this is where my brother's key was found?"
The hunchbacked old man was a little surprised: "Oh? So these kids have been here before? Oops! I just went down the mountain to sell mountain products a few days ago, so I wasn't at home."
The beast asked hurriedly: "Uncle, where do you think they will go?"
The hunchbacked old man lowered his head and thought for a while: "The next mountain is Niuji Peak. As the name suggests, Niuji Peak is a place where even cattle dare not go. The terrain above is very steep. If they go there, they will not be able to go."
That’s easy to say.”
"Niuji Peak! It's... that's where the beasts are!" The beast's heart beat wildly when he heard it, and his face turned pale. He didn't care much and pulled Yu Fei over: "Brother Fei, let's go find it quickly.
My brother will be in danger if he goes late!"
Seeing that the beast was in such a hurry, everyone had no choice but to bid farewell to the hunchbacked old man and continue on their way forward.
While walking on the road, Yu Fei always looked serious. Luo Zi asked: "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"I thought the hunchbacked old man just now seemed a little strange. When I said that the key was found under the tree in front of the house, his expression was a little unnatural."
The monkey walking in the middle of the team turned around and said, "Brother Fei, you think so too. I also think he's weird. And his house doesn't even have a window. It's dark inside in broad daylight."
of."
The speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. When the monkey said this, Yu Fei stopped: "What did you say?! His house has no windows?"
"Yes! There are no windows in the front, back, left, or right. It's like a haunted house. It feels a bit spooky. The beast and I went in to find water and couldn't see anything. I was thinking, if I close the door again at night, wouldn't it be okay?
It's like being locked up in a completely sealed space and not being suffocated to death."
"Holy shit!..."
"Brother, what happened? Did you find something?" Luo Zi felt that Yu Fei's expression became more and more strange.
Yu Fei suddenly raised his head and said: "Damn, the layout of that room just now is probably used to gather Yin energy!"
"What did you say!"
"Gathering Yin Qi? What gathering Yin Qi? It sounds so evil!"
Yu Fei's words shocked everyone.
"It should be right! Did you just see that there was a Bagua mirror hanging in the middle of the house?" Yu Fei said.
Tang Yan suddenly thought about it: "Yes! Yes! I saw it! At that time, I was still thinking that people living in the mountains would be so superstitious."
"He is not superstitious. In fact, that is not an ordinary Bagua mirror, but a Bagua concave mirror, also called a Yin gathering basin! Ding Laosan once managed to get one, which was specially used to gather evil spirits.
.”
"Although the old man with a hunchback looks a bit ugly, he seems kind-hearted when he talks. Unexpectedly, he is actually a evil person. Brother, you are not wrong!" Luo Zi sighed with emotion.
"Damn, there is no mistake! Xiaobai followed the scent of several children until he found the house and then lost his direction. I thought it was the old man with a hunchback who was causing trouble!"
"You...you mean, my brother was...captured by this old man!" When the beast heard Yu Fei say that his brother might have fallen into the hands of such an evil old man, he became anxious and immediately ran back.
But Yu Fei grabbed him.
"Don't worry, you beast! If you go back rashly like this, the hunchbacked old man will definitely not admit it. Leave this matter to me. You can find a place to hide near the house first, and then we will go find him together when I find conclusive evidence."
Not too late."
"But, will something happen to my brother? Damn it! What does this old man want to do to catch my brother?" The beast was very worried at this time.
"I guess he may be practicing ghost magic. There is an extremely evil practice method in ghost magic, which uses the ghosts of seven pure Yang boys as a guide."
"Seven...seven children. Last night...last night Niu Wazi's uncle said that a few days ago, two other children in their village disappeared. Together with the five of them, there were exactly seven..."
Tang Yan said slowly.
The beast's face turned pale at this time, "Fei...Brother Fei, has my brother already..." He actually started crying.
"Don't worry, don't worry. If he wants to take away the ghosts of children, he should choose to do it when the moon is yin and the sun is yin. I calculated that the best time should be at midnight tomorrow night. At present, he should only take a few children.
They are all locked up somewhere.”
"Where will he keep the children? Is it that room? But it looks like there are only two rooms in total, so it shouldn't be possible." Tang Yan said doubtfully.
"Even if it's not in that house, it should be nearby! That house is a place where ghosts gather. The old man must have chosen that place to collect the ghosts of the boy."
"In this case, without further ado, let's go back quickly and keep an eye on the old man first!" Luo Zi said.
They quickly returned to the house and found a remote patch of grass to hide.
Yu Fei whispered: "You guys just keep an eye here while I use the 'soul out-of-body technique' to go in and have a look. Wait for my news. Luo Zi, I will leave my body to you!"
"Out-of-body technique!" Yu Fei's words startled the monkey. Both Luo Zi and Zhu Sheng knew that when Tang Yan was in a coma, Yu Fei used the out-of-body technique to communicate with her, so they didn't think so.
Too surprised.
Yu Fei sat down cross-legged on the side, feeling refreshed, and soon he summoned his soul and flew towards the house.
Everyone else was mortal with naked eyes, so naturally they couldn't see Yu Fei's soul. They just saw Yu Fei sitting there with his eyes closed, motionless.
The monkey asked doubtfully: "Brother Fei, does this count as his soul leaving the body?"
The beast shook his head and looked at Luo Zi: "I don't know either?"
Luo Zi saw that the monkeys and animals were staring at him: "Why are you looking at me? I have never seen his soul leave the body. Have you seen Tang Yan?"
After saying that, the three of them turned their heads to Tang Yan, and Tang Yan quickly lowered her head: "Actually, I don't know either. However, I think it's probably like this. He is like this every time he practices."
After listening to Tang Yan's words, everyone turned to look at Yu Fei. They really couldn't see any difference between his current condition and his sleep. However, now they can only wait patiently for news about him.
