Nian Yihuan smiled sweetly, "Uncle, you are here, and we are just curious to go in and have a look, just to visit the ruins. You have been living nearby. Do you know anyone who can open this lock? "

The old man smiled, and the sound of metal colliding could be heard from his waist.

"Girl, you have found the right person. I am the one in charge of the key. There is nothing in here. You don't need to lock it if you ask me. The people above don't agree and have to let me lock it. No, this key has always been there. I've just left it here for a year or two, and I don't know if it's still working."

With that said, the uncle unlocked the key and handed it to Nian Yihuan.

Nian Yihuan inserted the key into the rusty keyhole, turned it gently, and sure enough, the lock opened.

"Thank you so much, uncle! We can walk around inside for a while. After that, we must lock the place."

"Okay." The uncle smiled. He just turned his head and didn't take two steps. He suddenly turned back and his expression suddenly became very serious.

"Uncle, is there anything else?" Nian Yihuan blinked.

The uncle pulled Nian Yihuan over and said, "When you go in later, be careful. It is said that during the Central Plains Festival, you can always hear the cry of a little girl here."

Nian Yihuan immediately opened his eyes, looking scared, "Really?"

"Of course, you don't know, but you can infiltrate someone. Anyway, this is a reminder to you, please be careful."

"Okay, okay, I understand, uncle."

After saying goodbye to the uncle, Nian Yihuan did not move away immediately, "Jiang Shuo, come with me to take a look."

"Do you really want to enter this orphanage?"

"Of course, isn't it still fake?"

"Didn't you listen to what the uncle said just now? There is a ghost here..."

Nian Yihuan raised his eyebrows disdainfully, "Brother, do you think I'm afraid of ghosts?"

Jiang Shuo: "..."

Nian Yihuan continued, "I think this place is weird. As soon as I stood here, I felt uncomfortable all over."

Jiang Shuo frowned, "Uncomfortable? Do you mean you feel uncomfortable physically or mentally?"

Nian Yihuan closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

"When I first arrived here, I felt that the yin energy here was very heavy. But logically speaking, children are all pure yang bodies. Even if they have passed away, the yin energy here should not be so heavy. So why is the yin energy here so heavy? There is only one. There should be a lot of innocent souls gathered here. The evil souls are piled up here and refuse to leave, so the Yin Qi here is so heavy."

"In addition, the uncle just said that some girl's cry could be heard here, so I want to go in and take a look."

"Okay, if you want to go in, I will accompany you."

"Are you afraid?" Nian Yihuan raised his eyes.

Jiang Shuo smiled softly and looked calm.

"Afraid? Didn't you say that I am blessed with fortune and wealth, and that ghosts will take a detour when they see me? Then what is there to be afraid of? I have encountered so many dangers before, and I have come here."

"Okay! Listen to me for a while and don't act rashly."

"Yeah." Jiang Shuo hummed lightly.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, dark clouds came over him, and the wind blew through the weeds in the yard, making a rustling sound, which made Nian Yihuan suddenly feel uneasy.

I walked around the building and then went into the building to check. It was indeed completely burned.

It’s hard to imagine how big of a fire it must have been to burn down this place so much that not even a piece of paper could be found.

The only thing that still exists is the structural skeleton of the building.

Nian Yihuan and Jiang Shuo walked around and around in this building, but found that they could not get out.

Jiang Shuo looked stern, "Didn't you realize that we have just walked this road?"

Nian Yihuan was startled. It was indeed true. Although it was burned beyond recognition, she clearly remembered the broken vase at the corner in front of them. They had passed by it ten minutes ago.

"This is a ghost beating a wall."

Nian Yihuan's heart tightened, and she remembered what happened to her alone in Wugong Mountain.

How could she be so unlucky? Not long after, this happened again.

But after that time, she asked her master for advice.

Ghosts hitting the wall is a folk saying. In Taoist terms, it is called the Ghost Gate Formation.

To break the ghost gate formation, the best way is to affix a soul-fixing talisman on your body and recite the spell silently thirty-seven or twenty-one times before you can break the formation.

Fortunately, she was well prepared this time and took out her brocade bag, which contained all kinds of talismans.

Nian Yihuan quickly found two soul-fixing charms and stuck one on himself and one on Jiang Shuo.

Then she took out a small piece of paper, which recorded the spell that the master taught her last time.

"Recite this mantra twenty-one times, seven times in one group, and rest for ten seconds after each group. Do you understand?"

Jiang Shuo frowned. Although he thought it was strange, he still did as he was told.

After reciting the mantra silently for twenty-one times, Nian Yihuan and Jiang Shuo walked forward again. As expected, the road ahead was different from before. This should be the break of the formation.

After breaking the formation, Nian Yihuan felt even more strange.

How could someone end up in such an abandoned building?

Could it be to prevent people from coming here to investigate? It seems that there must be something shameful here, and it is not a trivial matter.

Nian Yihuan was deep in thought when Jiang Shuo suddenly patted her on the shoulder and pointed in front of her.

Nian Yihuan looked in the direction Jiang Shuo pointed. There were a lot of burnt debris piled up beside the stairs in front. There was thick dust on the ground, but there was a pair of obvious footprints on the soil.

The footprints disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Nian Yihuan's face immediately became serious. According to what the white-haired old man said just now, no one has come here for a long time, so how can there be footprints?

"What's going on? Is there anyone here?" Jiang Shuo's eyes were calm and he whispered coldly.

"Maybe, it's not a human being."

Nian Yihuan gestured to Jiang Shuo to stay back, while she slowly moved forward. Judging from the size of her footsteps, she should be a child.

Nian Yihuan followed the direction of the footprints and entered a small room.

This room should have been a storage room before, with various iron shelves and other things stacked up, but now it has been burned to ashes.

And this series of footprints also disappeared behind a storage shelf.

Nian Yihuan lowered his eyes, frowned, kneaded his hand and chanted a mantra, then used his fingers to exert force and waved hard towards the back of the locker.

"now!"

There was an abnormal sound immediately behind the locker.

But in just a moment, the strange noise disappeared.

Nian Yihuan concluded that there must be something behind the locker.

She held her breath and suddenly pulled the iron frame of the locker to the side.

The burned carbonized iron frames were scattered on the ground, and the black shadow that had been hiding behind them flashed past.

Only then did Nian Yihuan discover that there was a dark window behind the storage room.
