Mysterious World Tour

After following the old man for a cup of tea, Tan Mo looked at the road ahead and couldn't help but look forward. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the mountains and rivers actually belonged to the county, and now the only one left was the old man in front of him.

Because along the way, not to mention not seeing a single human figure, there was not even a trace of human activity.

And those houses were completely abandoned and looked like they had not been inhabited for a long time. They were in tatters, with open doors and windows, and were covered with spider webs. They did not look like they were inhabited.

But it would be very strange if there were no other people...

This old man runs a grocery store, which has everything, fruits, vegetables, salt, kitchen knives, etc., and he even sells noodles part-time.

Tan Mo had just observed carefully that there was no dust on the kitchen knives, but the fruits and vegetables were all fresh.

That one seemed to be a large pot used to cook noodles, and there was some white smoke coming out, presumably from heat.

All these, without exception, show that there are actually many people in this county.

If there is no one, who are these things sold to?

After thinking about it, Tan Mo asked the old man.

The old man looked indifferent. When he heard Tan Mo's question, he glanced at Tan Mo, his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning, and then heard him say: "Landscapes have two cities, inner and outer. There is actually no difference between the inner and outer, but later on , Living in the inner city, they can be less disturbed at night and have a peaceful sleep, so they all go to the inner city. "

"Lands and rivers belong to this county. At night, it is actually very lively. I dare not say there is a lot of traffic, but it will not be as deserted as now."

Tan Mo suddenly understood the meaning of the old man's words. He couldn't help feeling frightened and couldn't help asking: "Then why does the old gentleman live in the outer city?"

"I'm old and used to it, so it doesn't matter anymore. The inner city and the outer city are the same, and it's even more lively at night. For an old man like me, at least I won't feel so lonely when I look at the lively scene." When the old man said this, a smile gradually appeared on his indifferent expression.

Then it seemed that some old memories in the old man's heart were touched. The old man looked deeply and said in a long tone: "Before, I thought ghosts were scary because they wanted to harm people. But later, I discovered that those well-dressed ones were actually more terrifying. ”

As he spoke, the old man raised his head, pointed in front of him, and said: "Here we are, this is where Old Man Kou lives. After he left, Old Man Liu and I were the only ones left in the outer city. But Old Man Liu was raped in his early years. The man was poisoned, and although he survived the disaster, after he was rescued, his throat was poisoned and he could no longer speak. "

Tan Mo then looked at the house pointed by the old man.

A relatively intact house with all doors and windows, but for some unknown reason, a lot of wooden boards with red lines were nailed on the doors and windows to prevent others from breaking in.

"Old Man Kou's body and the things he left behind have not been touched by me. They are all in this room. In addition, I have two more words. I wonder if you want to listen to them, young monk?" The old man said before walking away. Say a few more words.

"I would like to hear the details, please tell me, sir." Tan Mo put his hands together, with a respectful expression, as if he was listening attentively.

"You wait until the sun is at its highest to open Old Man Kou's house. In the second sentence, according to the rules of our lineage, you have to keep watch for Old Man Kou for three nights before you can bury Old Man Kou. But keep things simple for now, you can wait a moment Find some dry firewood, burn Old Man Kou's body, and let him be buried." The old man finished speaking slowly and prepared to turn around and leave.

Tan Mo was naturally puzzled, so he quickly asked: "Old sir, may I ask why this is?"

"I heard footsteps in Old Man Kou's house just now. And I can confirm that there are only Old Man Liu and me in the outer city, no one else lives there, and there can't be anyone in this room." The old man said without looking back. .

Tan Mo couldn't help but feel horrified. From beginning to end, he didn't hear any sound.

His hearing is not weak.

Involuntarily, Tan Mo glanced at the room, then turned his head, wanting to ask the old man if the wooden boards with red lines on them were seals, but he was shocked to find that the old man had disappeared.

The field of vision was empty, no one was there anymore.

Then, Tan Mo's heart moved.

Opening Kou Jinsheng's house at noon + burning Kou Jinsheng's body + taking away Kou Jinsheng's relics will increase the success rate of leaving safely by 100%.

Looking at the 100% success rate in his field of vision, Tan Mo breathed a sigh of relief. The old man really didn't mean to harm him.

"Thank you, old sir."

With a distant bow, Tan Mo began to wait patiently.

The sun soon reached its midpoint, and the sunlight began to become fierce. Seeing this, Tan Mo went to open the door of the house.

Because there were a lot of wooden strips nailed, when Tan Mo opened the door, the two doors were already in tatters.

Tan Mo now understood why the doors and windows of the houses he saw along the way were all in tatters.

Standing at the door, smelling the strong stench in the house, Tan Mo did not go in. He waited until the wind from outside blew in and diluted the stench before he walked in.

As soon as he entered, the first thing Tan Mo saw was a mummy hanging out of the window.

The shape is extremely weird, with the limbs showing twisted shapes.

Tan Mo stared at the mummy for a while, and then he saw that there were indeed some traces of human activities near the mummy.

There were no footprints, just claw marks.

"This old gentleman is not simple. He is probably at least a master of the Three Talents Realm." Tan Mo understood. No wonder he couldn't hear it with his hearing. Moreover, the mummy would present this form. Most likely, it was hit by the old man on the way here.

So Tan Mo walked behind the mummy. As he expected, there was a palm print on the back of the mummy.

Without hesitation, using the broken doors and windows as firewood, Tan Mo immediately started a fire outside the house. The raging flames soon engulfed the mummy. For some reason, this mummy seemed to be particularly easy to ignite. It only took a moment to burn it clean.

Tan Mo then started looking for Kou Jinsheng's relics in the house.

There are only two rooms in this house, one on the left and one on the right. The main door leads to the living room, and the other side is the bedroom. The mummy was at the window of the living room, and in the middle of the living room, there was a coffin. The coffin was very tall, and the lid of the coffin was partially opened. I think the mummy escaped from this coffin.

Tan Mo searched around, but didn't find many relics with written records, so he finally looked at the coffin.

Most of Kou Jinsheng's last relics were in the coffin.

Tan Mo was about to open the coffin lid completely, but suddenly, a blue-gray human hand came out from inside and pressed Tan Mo's hand, preventing him from pushing the coffin open.

Sorry, I was nervous when writing this chapter last night, so... I didn't dare to continue writing... I only completed it now (deleted a lot of weird content), embarrassing... I will update six chapters today to show my apology.
