Chapter 238 Blowing the Lamp
What's happening here?
I froze for a moment, this inn feels a bit uneasy, the point is, if it is really a ghost, even if I can't see it, Huang Daxian can see it, now even Huang Daxian can't see it, so what is that dirty thing? what is it
But since these filthy things can understand human language, and they seem to be very afraid of the old man downstairs, I am also relieved, they should be regarded as raised ghosts.

Even if it's terrifying, it shouldn't be at the level of killing people.

Since there is no danger, there is no need to be afraid of anything after thinking about it. After I figured it out, I sorted out the luggage I brought over and went to sleep with my clothes on. In the middle of the night, I slept in a daze, covered in yellow Daxian was woken up.

"What's the matter?" I asked a little angrily.

"I always feel that this inn is a bit strange. How should I put it, I always feel that it doesn't exist." Huang Daxian said suspiciously.

"It doesn't exist? Impossible, am I here right now?" I rubbed my sleepy eyes and said.

"It's not this, I mean, this inn may not exist." Huang Daxian said.

"You mean, this is my hallucination?" Because I suffered several times, when I mentioned hallucinations, I couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"That's not what it means." Huang Daxian paused, "Do you know the mirage?"

"Huh? You mean, we live in a mirage?" I took a deep breath and said, "Isn't that impossible? Isn't a mirage the refraction of light? There is no shadow at all. How can we May live in."

"That's what I thought at the beginning, how about it, you get up and go to the window to see the scene outside, you can almost be sure, if we live in a mirage now, then the scene outside is completely different from when we came in before " Huang Daxian said.

When Huang Daxian said this, I also became a little suspicious. Although Huang Daxian is usually a little unreliable, he is indeed very discerning, and he is not the kind of person who is presumptuous for no reason. It's because he noticed some clues.

I stood up and walked outside. Just as I walked to the window and was about to open the window, the door of my room rang, and an extremely old voice came from outside the door, "Guest officer, it's getting dark. Oil lamp?"

It was the old man. I looked at the dim room, thought for a while, and then said, "Order one for me."

"Are you sure?" the old man said with a soft smile, his voice was strange.

I frowned, why don't I just light a lamp?Not sure yet, so I just said, "Go ahead."

"Okay, then I'll light the lamp and hang it on your door. You can take it down later when you have time." After the old shopkeeper finished speaking, he coughed and left.

I looked at the flickering light at the door, smiled, and was about to open the window to look at it, when Huang Daxian said, "Forget it, don't look, I've made sure that where we are now is It’s better not to look at the intersection point between the underworld and the yang world, it’s not good to scare you for a while.”

I was stunned. It was him who said to look at it, and he was the one who said not to look at it, which aroused my curiosity. Now tell me not to look at it. Isn't that funny?

I went up and pushed the window open. As soon as I pushed the window open, I felt a ghostly aura pouring in from the window. I was made to take a big step back by the ghostly aura, and frowned.

At this moment, the sound of shoveling soil sounded outside the window. I frowned and stretched out my head to look. Under the night sky, a little boy in filial piety was shoveling soil and digging a hole with his head in his arms. , The pit has almost been dug. When I looked at the little boy, the little boy seemed to have discovered something.

Turning around, the head he was holding in his hand was also staring at me at this moment, opened his mouth, and said, "Uncle, I was dug out, can you help me bury it back?"

That face was pale and pale, and it might have been buried in the soil for a long time, with a bit of a waxy yellow color on the soil. This face stared at me, which made my heart beat fast. I just wanted to answer, Huang Daxian said, "This is a life-calling ghost. Don't talk to it. Once you say it, it will regard you as agreeing to its request. If you don't do it, it will come to you Killing."

I froze for a moment, and when I looked at the little boy again, I was not so calm.

I took a deep breath and took a step back. The little boy just hugged his head and stared at me. There was an expression in those numb eyes that couldn't be described in words.

I closed the window, and still felt those eyes were still staring at me. I stretched out my hand and rubbed my temples, and said, "There are still ghosts in this backyard, this inn is really strange."

"No, if I'm not mistaken, this courtyard is built right at the mouth of the devil, the backyard is the underworld, and the front door is the yangworld, so the atmosphere of this inn is so vague." Huang Daxian said.

"You mean, we're in hell now?" I frowned.

"I remembered that there seems to be such an inn. The inn is divided into two halves. One half is reserved for ghosts, and the other half is reserved for humans. The ghosts live in the front door, which is a Tianzi room, and the people sleep in the backyard. Landmark house." Huang Daxian's voice was also full of uncertainty at this time, obviously he was also confused by the scene in front of him.

"I don't know, it seems to be for a ceremony. I heard about it at the time. It seems that this inn is located all over the country. I also searched for this place, but I just couldn't find it. I didn't expect to find it for me under this circumstance. Already." Huang Daxian said, "Wait."

I froze for a moment and said, "What are you waiting for?"

Snapped!
The oil lamp hanging by the door also made a crackling sound at this time, and the flickering light at first became extremely dark at a certain moment, but fortunately, the light was lit again soon, and it seemed to be brighter than before up.

The suddenly turned on light made me feel a little uncomfortable, especially Huang Daxian was still muttering in my heart and didn't know what to say, which made me feel a little uneasy.

"I remembered!" At a certain moment, Huang Daxian said suddenly.

"Remember what?" I asked.

Huang Daxian took a deep breath and said, "I remembered this ceremony. It seems to be a small game played by the person who built this inn. It's called Blowing the Lantern at Darkness. I don't know the details. I heard that it failed in this game." Those who live will die, and those who survive can let the power that established this inn help the living to fulfill a wish, help ghosts to reincarnate, and start a new life."

"That's it? Why does this sound so unreliable!" I frowned, indeed, this thing that Huang Daxian remembered, no matter how unreliable it sounds, a wish?The ghost knows whether he has the ability to realize this Lao Shizi's wish. I said I want to be the president of the United States, will he let me do it?

"I know what you're thinking. Let me tell you this. This inn is for selecting people, not people choosing the inn. Only those who meet the inn's standards can come in. The inn has already penetrated into the heart of this person and knows what he is longing for. What is it, it seems to be you, if you can survive, then you must want to find Zhou Xiaoman, right?" Huang Daxian said.

After Huang Daxian said this, I suddenly realized something.

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from the door, "Guest officer, hello, it's late at night, may I help you turn on the lamp?"

The voice was very nice, and I almost couldn't help agreeing. Just when I was about to agree, Huang Daxian suddenly said, "Don't agree."

"If the lamp is blown, it will be too late." Huang Daxian said.

At this time, I also noticed that although a woman's voice came from the door, there was no sign of anyone, only the flickering lights flickering in the dark night.
