"Ah? Haunted? Where did you hear that?"

"What do you mean by hearsay? I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Did you see a ghost?"

"That's not true!"

At the entrance of Fengmen Village, several old people were sitting, breaking dried corn in their hands, peeling the kernels one by one and putting them into baskets.

When they heard someone mention seeing a ghost, everyone couldn't help but look to the west together, and then continued their discussion cautiously.

"Don't talk nonsense! This is not a joke!"

"Hey, what am I talking about? About three days ago, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. While I was in the toilet, I heard someone talking outside!"

"What's so strange about talking?"

"The point is, I leaned over the crack in the door and looked, and there was clearly no one outside, but the sound was right outside. You said there was no one outside but there was a sound, so what else could this be but a haunting?"

"What did it say?"

"Hey, I can't quite remember. I think it mentioned Lord Zhao? What Mr. Yin Yang said was right!"

"Hey? How is it related to Mr. Yin Yang?"

"Two days ago, I met a Yin-Yang master at the Yin-Yang Inn. He said that my forehead was dark, my Yang Qi was weak, and I was prone to hearing things I shouldn't hear and being possessed by ghosts. And then I really heard it!"

"Oh, then you have to go find that gentleman and ask for a spell. Old Li's daughter was listless every day before, but after she went to the Yin-Yang master and asked for a spell, she is much better now!"

"Well, but have you noticed recently that at night, a thick fog will rise up around the Yin Yang Inn, just covering the area around the inn. If you don't know, you would think there is nothing there!"

"Yeah, if you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten about it. I have to say, Mr. Yin Yang is really an expert, maybe this is all his tricks!"

"."

At this time, not far from the old men, a man and a woman slowly walked over.

The two people were Huo Xiuer and Wang Ye. They had just arrived at Fengmen Village. It was only after they got close to the village that they finally asked for directions.

Wang Ye scratched his head curiously, then said, "Huh? That's weird. How many people have we asked along the way? Why do they all say they don't know?"

"It was only when we were almost at the village that we found out the location of the village."

Huo Xiuer couldn't help but frowned and said in confusion: "Yeah, it's okay if they don't know, but they keep persuading us to leave quickly. I think they must know, but they just won't tell us!"

"Fortunately, we finally found this village."

As they talked, they sat down to rest not far from the village entrance.

Wang Ye casually complained: "Hey, your brother is really good at choosing a place. This place is really not easy for outsiders to find."

Huo Xiuer shook her head and looked at a few elderly people who were sitting and chatting opposite her.

She just happened to hear them discussing Mr. Yin Yang and couldn't help but feel curious.

She had heard Chen Wenjin mention a Yin-Yang master before, and now there is another Yin-Yang master in Fengmen Village. Are there so many Yin-Yang masters now?
Do they know what Yin Yang Master means?

Hearing Wang Ye's question at this time, she couldn't help but curl her lips and smile, saying: "Of course, the place where my brother Hao Xie is is different!"

"But why didn't he answer my call? Is he busy with something?"

Wang Ye smiled at the side and said, "Maybe your brother was afraid that you would look for him, so he just casually mentioned a place?"

Huo Xiuer glanced at Wang Ye unhappily, and Wang Ye shrugged and continued, "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Why don't we go ask? If your brother lives here, there should be someone who knows him."

After saying that, Wang Ye saw a few old people sitting and chatting nearby, so he walked over and said hello.

"Hey, uncles and aunts! I want to ask if you know where Hao Xie's house is?"

Huo Xiu'er was fiddling with her cell phone at the time. When she heard Wang Ye take the initiative to ask someone for directions, she followed him.

The old men suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked Wang Ye up and down.

After a while, they looked at each other and then began to speak.

"Hao Xie? You mean Mr. San from the inn?"

"Mr. San?" Huo Xiu'er asked in confusion. Mr. San from the inn? What does that mean? When did Hao Xie become a teacher?

Although she had heard the legend of the Yin-Yang Inn on the way, she did not connect the two together at this time.

She was just curious about what Hao Xie was doing now.

Then she saw several old people continuing to break the corn in their hands and talking in low voices.

"It seems like a lot of people are looking for people from the inn recently."

"Isn't it? Someone came to look for Zhang Qilin from this inn before!"

"That's the second master of the inn. The voice of the footman we heard before was from this master!"

"Really? Oh, I heard that this master is elusive. I haven't seen him yet!"

"But the man who found the footman looks like a foreigner? How strange!"

“That person is indeed quite mysterious.”

Then, an old man looked at Wang Ye and continued, "You are probably looking for the Yin Yang Inn, right?"

"If you're looking for the Yin Yang Inn, just follow this road in the village. When you see two white lanterns, you've found it!"

"But I advise you not to go there if you don't have anything to do. This inn is not open to just anyone."

Wang Ye frowned in confusion, wondering what could be so special about an inn?

Despite this, he still forced a smile, nodded, and then left with Huo Xiuer.

In the village, Wang Ye and Huo Xiuer wandered aimlessly for a long time.

The two seemed to have circled the village seven or eight times, but still could not see any trace of the Yin Yang Inn. In the end, they could only sit on the side of the road, breathing heavily, with confusion on their faces.

"It's really strange, why is this village so big? I feel like I've walked into a maze." Wang Ye couldn't help but complain, he looked up at the sky and shook his head helplessly.

"It's dark now. Even the largest village should have been covered by now. What's going on?"

Huo Xiu'er also shook her head, also with a puzzled look on her face. She looked around and couldn't help but say, "No wonder those people are afraid of Fengmen Village. This village is indeed a bit strange."

"Have we hit a wall?" Wang Ye turned to look at Huo Xiu'er, frowning, "How about...you try calling Brother Hao Xie again?"

"He might have been busy before, but it's so late now, he should be free, right?"

Huo Xiuer nodded, took out her phone, found Hao Xie's number, and dialed it. However, a cold voice came from the phone: "Sorry, your phone is out of network coverage!" "What?" Huo Xiuer widened her eyes, unable to believe her ears, "There is no signal here?"

She paused, and then recalled the scene when she talked to Hao Xie before, and continued: "That's not right. When I talked to Brother Hao Xie on the phone before, the signal was clearly full. If there is no signal here, how did Brother Hao Xie talk to me?"

"This...this is too weird!"

Huo Xiuer played the sound of her mobile phone so that Wang Ye could listen to it too.

Wang Ye took out his cell phone and made a random call, but the notification tone was exactly the same as Huo Xiuer's.

"Not within network coverage!"

He glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and saw that it showed no signal!
This made Wang Ye alert.

"Something is wrong. There can't be no signal here." He shook his head. "I just saw someone watching TV at home! If there is no signal, how can the TV receive programs?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ye suddenly felt a chill on his neck, as if someone was blowing air on him.

All the hairs on his body stood up and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked around and there was no one else except Huo Xiuer.

So he looked at Huo Xiuer in confusion and asked, "Why are you blowing on my neck?"

"Is there something around my neck?"

Wang Ye touched the back of his neck, and found nothing unusual except a cold feeling.

Huo Xiu'er was fiddling with her phone at this time. When she heard Wang Ye's words, she looked up in confusion: "Who flattered you? Brother, please stop scaring me, okay?"

Wang Ye touched his neck and could still feel the coldness.

He shook his head, stood up, looked around vigilantly, and said, "Something is wrong. There is something wrong with this place. Let's go!"

"It's getting dark now, how about we come back tomorrow?"

Huo Xiuer pouted, looking somewhat unwilling.

After a while, she said, "Why don't we look around again? If we still can't find it, we'll leave."

Wang Ye shrugged his shoulders, and seeing Huo Xiuer's unwilling look, he said, "Well, okay, I'm really scared of you. But I have to remind you that there is something wrong with this place."

He couldn't help but mutter to himself that ever since he came back from that ancient battlefield, strange things had been happening around him.

Although it wasn't obvious before, this strange feeling became stronger after entering the village.

It seemed as if there was always something watching him in the dark.

Wang Ye shook his head and decided to continue searching along another road. Huo Xiuer followed closely behind him, and the two walked for a while.

Suddenly, Huo Xiuer asked, "Master Wang... have you noticed that this village has suddenly become empty?"

"It's so eerie, and I don't think there's any human touch at all."

Wang Ye nodded, frowned and observed his surroundings: "And even if the elderly in the village go to bed early, they shouldn't go to bed so early, right?"

The two continued walking while talking. However, after walking for a long time, they found that none of the houses they passed had lights on!

"It's really creepy!" Wang Ye couldn't help but say.

Just then, he suddenly saw an old man on the roadside ahead.

The old man had a white beard and a kind face. He waved and smiled at him: "Young man!"

The sudden sound startled Wang Ye.

After seeing that it was an old man, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help muttering: "Where did this old man come from? It's too scary!"

At this time, the old man looked at Wang Ye, continued to show a kind smile, and then asked: "Young man, I haven't eaten for several days. Can you give me some money so that I can buy something to eat?"

Wang Ye's forehead was instantly covered with black lines. He muttered softly, "This kind of old-fashioned scam has spread to such a remote village?"

"You don't really think I'll be fooled, do you?" He shook his head, a smile on his face. Fortunately, I was well prepared, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with this old man.

Wang Ye took out two steamed buns and a bag of Wujiang pickled mustard tuber from his backpack, squatted beside the old man, and said with a smile: "Uncle, have you not eaten for several days? Here are two steamed buns and pickled mustard tuber, both from Wujiang, very delicious! If you are hungry, try this."

The old man was still smiling, and didn't seem to care about Wang Ye's teasing. He just stared at him.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "Young man, I don't want to eat this. Just give me some money."

Wang Ye shook his head, feeling a little bored.

He wanted to use the same tricks that he used to trick scammers on the Internet, but it was clear that the old man was so thick-skinned that even he felt uncomfortable.

However, it is still too early to cheat him of his money.

He took out ten yuan from his pocket, waved it in front of the old man, and continued: "Uncle, if you eat this steamed bun and pickled mustard, I will give you the money, how about it?"

The old man looked at the money in Wang Ye's hand, smiled kindly again, shook his head and said, "Young man, I don't need this kind of money."

"No need?" Wang Ye looked at the old man in confusion, wondering if he thought the money was too little?

He turned his head and glanced at Huo Xiuer, and said, "Look at this old man, he doesn't even care about ten dollars."

"Uncle, don't look down on these ten dollars. It can save lives." Wang Ye stood up and said coldly.

Then he shook his head and prepared to continue looking for the Yin Yang Inn.

Huo Xiuer sighed and said, "What's going on now? The liar actually thinks the money is too little... The world is really going downhill."

The two men ignored the old man. Since he didn't appreciate it, there was no need for them to waste time.

The most important thing now is to find the inn.

However, Huo Xiuer suddenly stopped, as if she thought of something.

"Something seems wrong?" she muttered.

Wang Ye frowned, curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "I have seen many such liars. They may look miserable, but in fact they may be living better than you."

Huo Xiuer shook her head and said, "Don't you think that old man looks weird?"

After the two walked for a while, Huo Xiuer stopped again. She always felt something was wrong.

Wang Ye also noticed something strange, but couldn't remember what it was, so he shook his head and said, "I don't think it's the old man who's weird, it's this village! Ever since I entered this village, I've felt a chill around me."

At this moment, Huo Xiuer looked back and her face turned pale instantly.

She screamed and quickly grabbed Wang Ye. "Ah!" she shouted.

Wang Ye looked back at Huo Xiu'er in bewilderment, and then saw an old man not far behind him. In front of them was actually a tombstone! (End of this chapter)
