Chapter 1

The sky was completely engulfed by darkness, and Walnut Bay at midnight exudes a hair-raising atmosphere, and the surroundings are completely silent, as if you are in a tomb.

In the distance, a dim red light swayed, like a will-o'-the-wisp floating in mid-air in this silent night.

And the will-o'-the-wisp followed closely behind several slender black shadows, which looked particularly strange in the foggy night.

"Move swiftly, it's not easy to dig graves when it's overcast!"

The leader yelled, and the Taoist robe on his body set off a cold arc.

The few people following behind nodded repeatedly, and their pace quickened.

After half a cup of tea, a group of people marched into Liushan mightily.

Looking from a distance, I don’t know whether it’s the effect of the heavy fog or the reason for the darkness. The whole willow mountain is covered with mist. Those willow branches dancing gracefully with the wind in the dark light are like arms with teeth and claws. It was dancing wildly, and the white shadow that was constantly bubbling from the depths of the woods, like a floating dead soul, made people tremble in the heart...

As soon as I stepped into the woods, the dense willow trees blocked my view, making the bright red lantern in my hand look even dimmer, and the redness made my scalp tingle.

"When you enter the forest, you must turn a deaf ear to any sound, let alone turn your head!"

All of a sudden, a low voice with a trace of vicissitudes rang out, making the feet of the people behind him go limp, and they almost fell into the ground.

Looking at the Taoist's face again, it didn't look like he was joking, and he felt even more energetic in an instant.

This Liushan is full of yin, if it is not for money to do things, who is full and stays here at midnight to dig people's graves.

In the distance, there are more and more weeds, and the willows are becoming more and more sparse.

Judging from the location, it's probably not far from the lonely grave of Wumingshi.

I cut open the complicated weeds with a sickle, and sure enough, a grave covered by thorny vines appeared in front of me. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that there are wisps of green smoke rising from the grave. It looks like a human figure, making people feel like there is a big ice cube on the back of the vest, which is biting to the bone.

If it weren't for the weeds around it, it would be hard to find this cemetery, and there was only one such cemetery here, so I wouldn't worry about finding the wrong place.

The Taoist glanced at the sky, began to pull the red thread around, took out the copper bell and began to prepare for the ceremony before digging the grave.

After everything was ready, the Taoist called the men on the side to burn the offerings in the bamboo basket.

The man carried the bamboo basket and slowly took out the offerings, besides the joss sticks and paper money, there was also a beautiful and lifelike paper figurine.

The dark wind whizzed past, setting off the surrounding treetops to rattle.

The surrounding weeds also began to dance with the wind, and it felt indescribably cold and creepy.

The man half-kneeled, took out the torch and started to light the joss stick. He didn't know whether it was because of the strong wind around him or because of his panic, but the joss stick couldn't be ignited for a long time.

Involuntarily, fine cold sweat oozes from the forehead of the hulking man. He tried his best to restrain his trembling hands, and put the incense on the finally lit candle.

The people who were holding iron catalpas and waiting to dig the grave looked at his trembling hands, and their faces became stiff and pale.

"What are you shaking, burn the paper money quickly, and burn the paper figurine too. If you give him a wife, what are you afraid of!"

The Taoist priest who walked around the grave looked at the big man shaking into a sieve, and hated that the iron could not be a steel road.
