Chapter 55 Sacrifice

A few girls laughed and said, "We are like elementary school students going on a spring outing."

The squad leader pushed his glasses and said: "This mountain has more historical sites, and the probability of accidents is higher than other mountains. Although we are here to explore, life safety is still the first priority."

Hua Lian was stunned at the back of the line.

Everyone else walked, only Hua Lian used floating. After walking for half an hour, everyone else was already getting a little tired, so they stopped to rest.

"Squad leader, why is this mountain road so weird? We must have gone the wrong way, right?" One of the girls looked back at the way they came.

This is a very narrow stone step, and moss is still standing on the stone step, and the group of them can only walk one by one.

"That's right! Didn't you still say it was a tourist attraction? Why didn't anyone see it?" Another girl also said.

"It is written in the mountaineering guide here that this is a shortcut but a small path, and there is a wider hiking trail but it needs to be detoured to other places. I plan to go to the historic site first, and then take the hiking trail when I come down .” The squad leader explained while pushing his glasses.

This kind of explanation is generally accepted by everyone. After all, mountain climbing is also very tiring, and it is a short distance to walk.

"However, this road is really gloomy. There is not even a street lamp and trash can next to it. Does anyone really walk this road?"

A boy drank half of the water when he started hiking, and he was thinking about where to throw it away after drinking.

As soon as the boy finished speaking, he saw an old man with gray hair, leaning on a cane, wearing a long gown, and a hat slowly walking down the mountain. His steps were not nimble, but for his age Not too bad.

They made way for the old man to pass, and they all looked surprised when he walked past them, and the old man smiled back at them.

At the end, the old man nodded slightly seeing Mo Suchen and Hua Lian, and then continued to walk down.

"Wow! This old man is so powerful." The girls all exclaimed in low voices.

They climbed for a while and couldn't walk anymore. The old man actually walked down from the mountain.

The class monitor pushed his glasses: "He is exercising regularly. We usually sit in class, so of course our physical strength is poor."

Xu Yu's face was a bit ugly, and he asked in a low voice: "Why do I think this old man is a bit strange, his face is a bit green."

Hua Lian smiled: "Xu Yu, you have pretty good eyes."

"No way! Isn't that something that doesn't come out normally?" Xu Yu lowered her voice, afraid that the deputy squad leader behind them would hear it.

"This is on the mountain, so we can't generalize it from the outside, but it looks like it should be a ghost or something. If you come out for a stroll, don't make a fuss." Hua Lian said indifferently.

He was relieved to hear Hua Lian say this, but Xu Yu couldn't help but look back. The old man had disappeared, but no one else noticed.

Seeing Xu Yu looking back, the deputy squad leader thought he was afraid and said, "It's okay, I'm done!"

Hua Lian couldn't help laughing. For some reason, he didn't seem to dislike mortals that much anymore.

They walked slowly up the mountain, and they didn't find an open space on the side of the path to rest until noon. In fact, they had rested many times in the middle.

"Cook something to eat, I'm hungry." A boy sat down on the ground.

The girl beside him frowned: "Get up, take a piece of paper to cushion it, the floor is so dirty and full of insects."

The boy smiled, took a newspaper and put it on the ground.

"Let's have a meal and rest for an hour before we go. We should be almost at the top of the mountain." The squad leader looked up.

"Is there any place on the mountain to buy water? I'm going to run out of water." The boy bought three bottles of water, and now only one bottle remains.

"It seems that there is spring water, it's better to boil it and drink it, and it's dangerous to have a stomachache on the mountain." The squad leader said.

The deputy squad leader smiled: "It's okay, I have all the regular medicines and band-aids. It doesn't matter if you have diarrhea."

The others turned their heads and glanced at him, and said in unison: "Let's not do it."

Sitting next to Mo Suchen, Hua Lian watched them chatting and joking, and felt as if he had returned to the time when he was in the demon world. He also watched the little demons playing around in the same way, and he felt a sense of intimacy in his heart unconsciously.

Mo Suchen looked back at Hua Lian and whispered, "Are you tired? You can hang on me when you're tired."

Hua Lian looked away: "I'm not tired."

Mo Suchen evoked a smile.

Xu Yu seemed to be exhausted. He looked at his feet and sighed: "I'm really lack of exercise. I'm like this when I climb a mountain."

Hua Lian turned her head: "You almost died on the mountain last time."

Xu Yu smiled wryly: "Lord Hua Lian, can you not mention this matter?" As he said that, he took off his shoes and found two blisters on his feet.

No wonder walking hurts so much. I don't know if it's the shoes or the socks.

Hua Lian leaned against Mo Suchen in disdain: "You have something to say, why don't you take off your shoes!"

"Master Hua Lian, I'm sorry, I have blisters and it hurts a bit." Xu Yu smiled and was about to put the shoes back on.

Hua Lian glanced slightly and said, "Wait."

"Huh?" Xu Yu looked back at him suspiciously.

Hua Lian grabbed Mo Suchen's fingers and cast a spell on Xu Yu's feet. The blisters on his feet disappeared in an instant, and his feet no longer hurt.

"Ah, that's amazing! Thank you Lord Hua Lian and Master." Xu Yu didn't even dare to think that Hua Lian would heal him, even though he used Mo Suchen's spell.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Hua Lian smiled and patted Mo Suchen twice.

Mo Suchen said helplessly, "Hua Lian..."

"What? You said helping others! Shouldn't you praise me?" Hua Lian leaned against Mo Suchen's arms and looked up at him.

"Yes, I should praise you." Mo Suchen smiled helplessly and patted him on the head.

After resting in the mountains for a while, they confirmed that the fire was extinguished, and they continued to walk up the mountain around one o'clock in the afternoon. There are already many tourists here.

The monuments on the mountain are houses built with stones, which are said to have a very long history, but this is not like a village, with only three or four stone houses, and due to the age, only four walls remain of the stone houses.

There is an open space in the middle of the monument, but it is overgrown with weeds.

Several girls looked at this stone house and felt a little weird, and said: "Squad leader, are we going to sleep here at night? There is no place for us to pitch a tent here, right?"

"The stone house over there is pretty big, it should be enough to set up a tent." The squad leader said.

But the other boys were very excited: "It really feels like an adventure."

Hua Lian can also feel unusual when looking at these stone houses, but nothing on the mountain is very ordinary.

"Mo Suchen, I'll fly up to have a look." Hua Lian said to Mo Suchen.

Mo Suchen nodded slightly.

Hua Lian flew to the top of the stone house, and it was much more intuitive from the top down. These stone houses surrounded this open space, which looked messy, but they were actually built like this on purpose.

Although there were only four walls left in the stone house, it was obviously not used for living, and a stone house like this should be a favorite gathering place for ghosts, but Hua Lian didn't see any of them.

Hua Lian came down from mid-air, came to Mo Suchen's side and said, "It's a very strange place."

Xu Yu was listening beside him, and even Hua Lian said that, making him feel cold behind his back: "Nothing will happen, right?"

Hua Lian spread her hands: "It's not night yet, so it's not good."

Others chose a spot for camping and started pitching tents, and the tourists left one after another until they were the only ones left.

As the sky gradually darkened, they turned on the lights, illuminating a stone house.

And the place outside this stone house was indeed pitch black, and the sounds of animals could be heard from time to time.

Several girls huddled together to keep warm, and one of them looked outside and said, "There won't be any tigers, right?"

The deputy squad leader smiled: "Tigers are all endangered and protected animals. If you see them by such a coincidence, they are not endangered animals."

"However, camping on the mountain is still a bit dangerous. Let's take turns to watch the night." One of the boys suggested.

The squad leader nodded: "Yes."

Hua Lian was huddled with Mo Suchen, he kept staring outside, Xu Yu became a little scared.

"Lord Hua Lian, what are you looking at?" Xu Yu asked in a low voice.

"Nothing." Hua Lian replied.

"Huh? Then what are you looking at?" Xu Yu didn't understand.

"Not even half a ghost." Hua Lian said again.

"Isn't this great?" Xu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"What a fart!" Hua Lian swears subconsciously, Mo Suchen immediately glanced at him, Hua Lian coughed twice, "I mean, um... just like you mortals can always If you see cats and dogs, if one day you can’t see any of them, won’t you feel that there is a problem?”

"Master Hua Lian, are you saying there is something wrong with this place?" Xu Yu swallowed.

"I'm not too sure about this, Mo Suchen, what do you think?"

After living in the human world this time, Hua Lian realized that mortals have many tricks and can always do something unexpected.

Mo Suchen just nodded slightly: "Well, it's a little strange."

Suddenly, a boy seemed to be startled by something, fell off the small bench, and knocked his head against the wall behind, causing a commotion.

"Hey, are you okay? What's the matter? Don't scare us." The boy sitting next to him helped him up.

He pointed at the open space while covering the back of his head that had been knocked: "I just saw a will-o'-the-wisp."

The squad leader pushed his glasses: "Wild-o'-the-wisps mostly occur in tombs or places with bones, and are a phenomenon produced by chemical reactions."

The squad leader didn't make it very clear, but they thought carefully: "Squad leader, you don't mean that the open space is actually a tomb, do you?"

"If what he just saw was really a will-o'-the-wisp, that's very possible," the squad leader replied.

"Fuck! Then aren't we right in front of the grave?" said the boy who hit the back of his head.
