Chapter 208
The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to find light.

"What?" Chen Frameyang asked in surprise.

Yu Fan also saw that light.

"I saw it too. It disappeared after a flash, obviously." Guo Na saw it too.

Because Chen Xingyang walked ahead with a flashlight, the situation in the dark night was not particularly clear.

Chen Xingyang: "What light? What does it look like? What is that?" Chen Xingyang asked three times in his soul.

Shen Wei felt that he had been wronged, and said, "Look, look, I've seen it all."

Chen Xingyang shouted into the woods: "Who's there? Come out!"

Chen Xingyang's voice startled several birds into flight, but no one responded.

Chen Xingyang asked Yu Fan in a low voice: "Old Yu, what is that?"

Yu Fan: "I don't know, but it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's move on. Don't be too far away and take care of each other."

Everyone couldn't help but swallowed a bit of saliva and continued on.The vision at night is too poor, and every step is in fear, because there may be crises in all directions.They also know that traveling at night is very risky, because for humans, the light source of the flashlight will attract uninvited guests in the forest. They can choose to attack from any angle, and humans are actually powerless to fight back.

In the dark place, there are pairs of bloodthirsty and evil eyes lurking.And these eyes are like...

"I saw it too!" Chen Xingyang said.

Everyone looked sideways, and found that there seemed to be more and more lights, and they were constantly moving. Oh, no, it's more like "fire" than light!
It's just that this fire is looming, erratic, dancing in the dark.

Shen Wei: "I'll go, this, this, is this a will-o'-the-wisp?" Shen Wei began to speak incoherently again.

Yu Fan carefully observed these will-o'-the-wisps, some of them were blue and some were green.

Shen Wei said weakly: "It's over, it's over, it's dead, these are the ghosts of the other world, we have gone to the world of the other world, we can never go back, or we are all dead? So we all Saw a ghost?"

"Ouch~~" Shen Wei screamed.

It turned out that Xin Ling pinched Shen Weiyi, and said with a smile, "Ghosts don't feel pain, we're not dead, Brother Mao."

Xin Ling's encouragement made Shen Weiyi look like a man again, and he said cursingly: "Cut, even if you are a ghost, what can you do? You are all dead, and you can still find flowers in our land? No matter what. It doesn't matter if it's a ghost, or someone pretends to be a ghost, if you have the ability to come forward! You are only grandpa, and I am not afraid of you."

Shen Wei boldly spoke boldly, and swaggered to support Xin Ling to walk ahead, but he still didn't forget to turn his head and pretend to be forceful: "Brother Chen, help me light the way with a flashlight, I'll meet these ghosts."

Indeed, now the five people have walked into the will-o'-the-wisp and were slowly surrounded, and they had no choice but to move forward.

But Shen Wei didn't know, just now Xin Ling had used all her strength to pinch him, and now she has no strength left, even struggling to open her eyes, she felt very warm and comfortable on Shen Wei's broad shoulders , I really want to fall asleep like this.

"Xin Ling, don't sleep, we're almost home, hold on." Guo Na encouraged Xin Ling.Xin Ling clenched her back molars, nodded, yes.

As we walked forward, these will-o’-the-wisps became more and more obvious, so that everyone seemed to be able to touch them at close range. Close observation revealed that these will-o’-the-wisps were really burning out of thin air, without any focus, just like flying out of thin air. from.

The wind in the air stopped, and so did the will-o'-the-wisps. They looked at the five people silently like pairs of glasses, and the eyes were full of conspiracy and trickery.

Shen Wei swallowed again, and said, "Why do I feel that these will-o'-the-wisps seem to be following us all the time? If we don't leave, they won't move. If we leave, they will follow us."

After all, Shen Wei stopped on purpose, and sure enough, the will-o'-the-wisps around him also stopped, suspended in mid-air.Then Shen Wei suddenly accelerated and ran forward, and these ghost fires also ran forward suddenly!They seemed to be really chasing Shen Wei.

Chen Xingyang also had a numb scalp, and said, "What are these things trying to do? How about you return to your world? Don't follow us? We're going home." Just like playing a game with Chen Xingyang, they dodged and danced beside Chen Xingyang.

Guo Na stepped on the ground and twisted his foot, which relieved Guo Na, who was already holding on, and was about to fall, so Yu Fan hurried forward to support Guo Na.

Guo Na: "Brother Yu, thank you. Actually, I can still..."

Yu Fan interrupted Guo Na and said, "Okay, stop talking, let me help you the rest of the way, we'll be home soon."

Shen Wei asked Yu Fan: "Brother Yu, is there any way to stop these things from following us? Don't you know Taoism? Can you exorcise ghosts?"

Yu Fan was amused and said, "It's not Taoism, it's chemistry and psychology. Besides, I have no good way to get rid of these things. Besides, why are you afraid of these things?"

Chen Xingyang: "Damn, old Yu, aren't you? Such a scary thing, you have no waves in your heart? Isn't this thing a dead person's thing?"

Yu Fan said normally: "They are indeed the things of the dead."

Shen Wei cursed: "Then you are still so calm?"

Yu Fan was happy: "Did you forget the phosphorus fire?"

ah?The flustered Shen Wei and Chen Xingyang calmed down.

Yu Fan: "Ghost fire is actually phosphorus fire, which is a very common natural phenomenon. It is formed in this way: In addition to the three elements of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, the human body also contains some other elements. , such as phosphorus, sulfur, iron, etc. The bones of the human body contain a lot of calcium phosphate. When a person dies, the body is buried in the ground and rots, and various chemical reactions take place. Phosphorus is converted from phosphate to phosphine. Phosphorus Hydrogen sulfide is a gaseous substance with a very low ignition point. It will burn when it comes into contact with air at normal temperature. After the phosphine is produced, it emerges into the air along the cracks or holes in the ground and burns with blue light. This is the phosphorous fire , which is what people call the will-o’-the-wisp.”

Shen Wei questioned: "I've heard of this, but why do they follow us? They obviously have their own consciousness."

Yu Fan explained: "At night, especially when there is no wind, the air is generally still. Since the phosphorous fire is very light, if there is wind or people pass by to move the air, the phosphorous fire will float with the air, even Accompanied by people's pace, if you are slow, it will be slow, if you are fast, it will be fast; when you stop, because there is no force to drive the air, the air will stop, and the "wild fire" will naturally stop. "

Guo Na added: "There is no such thing as will-o'-the-wisps chasing people, it's just the wind that moves with itself."

It turned out that this was the case, and everyone's hanging hearts fell.

"On the contrary, not only are they not a sign of bad luck, I think they are even a guide for us to go home!" Yu Fan said mysteriously.

　Indeed, where there are dreams, pain is inevitable.But where there is no dream is the grave——phosphine
