Just when Li Yue and others returned to the back hall to continue the night watch, a person was wandering around outside the old house.

This person held a white lantern in one hand, with a big black word "地" written on it;

The white lantern emitted light in the dim environment, a pale light, very strange, but it could illuminate the road ahead.

In the other hand, there was also a stick of incense.

The incense was burning, emitting a lingering fragrance.

This person was Zhou Deng.

"If you ask me not to take it, I won't take it? You don't know if I take it secretly, and if others get there first, then I will lose a lot."

Zhou Deng thought secretly with pride in his heart.

Although Li Yue and Yang Jian had repeatedly forbidden him to touch the things in the old house, fearing that it would break the balance of the old house.

But Zhou Deng turned around and quietly did it.

However, he was also a little rational. Whether it was the incense in front of the coffin or the lantern on the door of the old house, he did not take all of them.

After getting the things, Zhou Deng walked out of the old house through the door in the back hall, just as Li Yue guessed.

Zhou Deng also knew that staying in the old house would be dangerous, but walking out of the old house might be safer.

Of course, this was just a gamble.

If he guessed wrong, the result would still be being attacked by evil spirits.

However, Zhou Deng was confident in his own methods, and even if he really encountered danger outside the old house, he could deal with it.

At least he had the ability to escape.

After Zhou Deng walked out of the back hall, he found that the path under his feet was not the same as the road leading to the gate.

Looking at the path under his feet, Zhou Deng hesitated slightly;

This road was very strange, paved with yellow soil, without a single weed growing on it, and the soil was very new, as if it had been repaired a few days ago.

"The owner of the old house must have a special purpose for building a road here;

Maybe along this road, you can find a way to leave here, or you may find some treasure buried by the owner of the old house."

Zhou Deng's eyes turned, and he was thinking of some strange ideas again.

After a brief thought, Zhou Deng followed the winding path into the old forest.

"The trees along the way have been cut down."

As he went deeper, Zhou Deng found that there were some tree stumps in the middle of the road.

It can be imagined that it cost a lot to build this yellow mud road.

However, Zhou Deng did not think much and continued to move forward with the white lantern.

As he went deeper, the surroundings became darker and darker.

In the end, even the nearby woods were all shrouded in darkness in Zhou Deng's eyes, leaving only a vague outline.

Only a yellow mud road stretched forward, as if there was no end.

Seeing this, Zhou Deng couldn't help but stop;

"A weird road that can't be walked? Should I turn back?"

He frowned, his eyes full of thinking.

But soon he shook his head and gave up the idea.

"It may not be safe to return to the old house at this time. Besides, we have walked so far. If we give up now, it will be a waste of all our efforts."

Thinking of this, Zhou Deng made a decision immediately.

He walked forward again.

In this way, Zhou Deng didn't know how long he had walked. He couldn't calculate the time or the distance.

Because there was no reference point around except the yellow mud road under his feet.

If ordinary people were in this environment, they would have collapsed long ago.

But Zhou Deng didn't.

He continued to move forward.

I don't know how far he walked, Zhou Deng suddenly found that the old trees around the yellow mud road gradually became sparse.

Zhou Deng's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.

This change may indicate that he is about to reach the end.

This is indeed the case.

Zhou Deng soon came to an open area.

This open area is a circle, covered with yellow mud, surrounded by dense old forests, and no other paths were found.

The end is here.

Although he didn't find the way out, Zhou Deng was not too disappointed.

Because he found other things here, maybe he could get something special here.

Thinking of this, Zhou Deng immediately took the lantern and walked towards the place where he had just found the abnormality.

As he got closer, he finally saw it clearly.

It was a few graves.

These graves are old and new;

Some look like they are many years old, some look like they are from a few years ago, and some even look like they are newly built.

Zhou Deng also found that there are tombstones in front of these graves, with names and portraits on them, and offerings are placed in front of the tombstones.

Zhou Deng came to a grave with a lantern, and he shone the lantern.

The pale light of the lantern dispelled the darkness and revealed a portrait.

The portrait was of a strange man;

He just didn't look like a modern person, because the clothes he wore when taking the photo were very old-fashioned, but he looked very young and quite handsome.

"It's a pity that he died here when he was so handsome."

Zhou Deng then looked at the offerings in front of the grave, which was a bowl of white rice in a blue and white porcelain bowl.

But the rice was hard, as if it was not cooked.

Zhou Deng's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange color.

He immediately put the lantern in his hand aside, and then stretched out a hand to take the bowl of white rice in front of the tombstone.

But Zhou Deng didn't notice that when he bent down and stretched out his hand, the eyes of the man in the portrait on the tombstone turned strangely.

He also looked down along his hand.

It was as if he was staring at Zhou Deng's movements.

"Pah~!"

But just when Zhou Deng's hand was about to touch the bowl of white rice, he suddenly retracted his hand and slapped himself.

"Zhou Deng, Zhou Deng, you know there is danger here, but you still dare to reach out and pick up things randomly. What if you provoke a curse and get targeted by a ghost?"

If Li Yue saw this scene, he might be shocked.

Zhou Deng's greed was seen by everyone when he was on the bus before.

The offerings in front of the tombstone are obviously not ordinary things, otherwise they would not have been stored for so long.

With Zhou Deng's character, seeing such a thing, no one would be surprised if he reached out and took it away.

But now when he was about to succeed, Zhou Deng actually gave up.

This is too un-Zhou Deng.

Of course, Zhou Deng's brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people, and he often makes unexpected moves.

At this time, Zhou Deng picked up the lantern again and stopped touching the bowl of offerings.

Just after Zhou Deng gave up touching the offerings, the man in the portrait on the tombstone slowly retracted his gaze, and everything seemed to return to normal.

All this happened silently, and Zhou Deng did not notice it at all.

At this time, Zhou Deng came to the second grave with a lantern.

The portrait on the tombstone of the second grave is a very beautiful woman.

She has long hair down to her waist, a smile on her face, and wears a cheongsam. It's a pity that the photo is black and white, so it's impossible to tell what color the cheongsam is.

"It's a pity that she died so beautifully."

Looking at the woman in the portrait, Zhou Deng's eyes flashed a trace of pity.

It seems that he really feels sorry for this woman.

However, the next sentence once again exposed Zhou Deng's true nature:

"That cheongsam seems good, I wonder if it has been buried in the grave."

At this moment, Zhou Deng suddenly slapped himself again, and then said:

"Zhou Deng, Zhou Deng, you can't do this, such a beautiful woman, you actually want to dig her grave, and even want to strip the dead person's clothes, is this appropriate?"

Then Zhou Deng looked at the grave with some reluctance.

Obviously, Zhou Deng was still a little reluctant about not digging the grave to take things.

But in the end he still held back and didn't do it.

Just when he was about to turn a blind eye and walk to the next grave, Zhou Deng's footsteps suddenly stopped.

He found that there was also a bowl of rice in front of this grave.

It's just that this bowl of rice seemed to be less than the bowl in front of the first grave before, as if the offerings in it were eaten by something.

Seeing this, the reluctance in Zhou Deng's eyes disappeared without a trace.

Instead, he looked around vigilantly.

Generally speaking, no one would touch these things, but now there were fewer of them, which made Zhou Deng a little suspicious.

He relaxed a little after making sure that there were no other hidden things around.
