The crooked way can also lead to heaven

After listening to Xiaoyu's description, Ye Ran did not continue to ask questions. Those four people were all bewitched by the illusion. Ordinary people can only consider themselves unlucky when encountering such a situation.

Looking towards the human incense burner at the top, Ye Ran stepped forward to check it, and finally found something unusual under the seat cushion.

Without hesitation, he kicked the incense burner down and pulled open the cushion. There was a hidden compartment underneath. After peeling it open, he saw a skull.

"This direction..."

Ye Ran immediately made a secret in his hand. Affected by the illusion, the compass must not be usable. He could only judge based on his previous memory.

After some simple calculations, he grabbed a few more copper coins and threw them on the ground.

"The two hexagrams Zhen and Xun are wood, the hexagram Li is fire, the hexagram Kungen is earth, the hexagram Qiandui is gold, and the hexagram Kan is water."

"The reason why the shadow puppet hall is so prosperous is because of the fire."

"The shops at the entrance of the village are full of wealth, and they are all about gold."

"There is no mountain water in the dry well in the back of the mountain. Without water, dry soil becomes soil."

"The locust tree in the village is the tree between life and death."

"Tsk, where is this water?"

Ye Ran frowned and shook his head slightly. This formation operates based on the five elements. As long as it is cracked one by one, all the corpses of the puppet ghost can be obtained.

Everything else has its bearings, but the water is blurry and cannot be pinpointed accurately.

But it's very strange, even if it can't be located, it gives people a feeling that it seems to be visible but also invisible, which makes it difficult to grasp.

"Do you understand what I just said?" Ye Ran turned to look at Xiaoyu and continued: "If you don't want to die, break the formation. Let's split up."

Xiaoyu naturally understood and asked: "Senior, where should I go?"

Ye Ran's eyes moved upward, and after careful consideration, he said: "Let's go to the back mountain. After all, I don't really want to go to a place that is too dangerous."

Xiaoyu's expression suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

Dangerous places you don’t want to go?

Do I want to go then? !

What outrageous words are these!

But now there is no choice. If you want to survive, you can only follow Ye Ran's arrangements. Who knows that your own strength is insufficient?

"let's go."

Xiaoyu gently took the blind girl's hand.

The illusion is too dangerous. It is really worrying to leave her alone here. It is better to protect her by her side. Even if there is danger, she can take care of her as soon as possible.

Seeing the two people leaving, Ye Ran stood up and stretched his waist. He originally wanted to hide from the tree demon, but now he had to go back.

Just when he bent down to pick up the copper coins on the ground, his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

The hexagram... has changed.

Ye Ran narrowed his eyes and put his hand on the copper coin.

The water hexagram, which was still vague at first, completely disappeared at this moment.

"What's going on?"

Ye Ran muttered to himself silently, thinking for a moment but still couldn't come to a conclusion. He could only shake his head, pick up the copper coins, and leave the shadow puppet hall with the skull.

The top priority is naturally the hotel at the entrance of the village. After getting the bones, we can go to the tree demon's hard bone.

However, even after searching all the houses, no trace of bones was found.

Just when Ye Ran was wondering, he suddenly thought of the scene where the two couples were having sex in the kitchen, so he went back and started searching carefully.

"The kitchen is so big, where can it be hidden?"

Ye Ran sat on the edge of the rice vat with a cigarette in his mouth. After taking two puffs, he moved his eyes to his feet and then moved the rice vat away.

Sure enough, there is a hidden compartment under the rice vat. After opening it, what comes into view is the dazzling jewelry and gold, which can blind people!

In the middle of this pile of jewelry is a hand skeleton.

"This couple is making a lot of money!"

Ye Ran's eyes were full of greed, and he reached out to grab the jewelry.

At this moment, the bell on his wrist suddenly rang.

After coming back to his senses, Ye Ran shook his head. When he looked into the dark room, he saw there were no jewelry anywhere, only a lot of worms and poisonous snakes mixed in.

"I almost got caught. This illusion is really hard to guard against."

Ye Ran let out a breath, quickly lifted up the hand bone, shook off the worms attached to it, and then stuffed it into his satchel.

Returning to the locust tree in the center of the village, if you calm down and listen carefully, you will find that this tree is actually breathing!

The corpse hanging on the branch also closed its eyes at this moment, as if it was in a state of dormancy.

Ye Ran circled around the locust tree, but he couldn't find any place to hide the bones.

"It can't be in a tree, right?"

"I don't have an ax or a chainsaw, so I can't open it."

I couldn't do anything for a while, so I could only sit there and smoke and think about how to deal with it.

Getting close to the locust tree will inevitably wake it up. Before the location of the skeleton is found, taking rash actions will only lead to more losses than gains.

On the other side, Xiaoyu had already pulled the blind girl to the back mountain and was walking forward cautiously, trying to find the dry well.

"Xiaoyu, I heard something was wrong in everyone's voices before. Is there something wrong?" the girl said softly.

Xiaoyu didn't want to make her nervous, so he could only pretend to be calm and smile: "How could it be? They said they were going to have some sort of courage test, and they insisted on dragging us to participate. I couldn't help but had to agree."

"But, I feel like you are very nervous. Are you okay?"

The girl reached out and touched Xiaoyu's face. She heard someone talking just now, but she couldn't hear clearly what was being said.

Looking at the gentle girl in front of him, Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with tenderness. He gently held her hand and said, "Why is there something wrong with me? My body is so hard!"

"Okay, let's go find them quickly. I feel a little cold." The girl said nothing.

Xiaoyu secretly made up her mind that if she encountered danger here, she would protect her at all costs!

As she continued to move forward, the light of the flashlight became weaker and weaker, and it flickered continuously, and it completely lost its light in a few seconds.

Fortunately, she had seen the dry well at this time, otherwise it would be really difficult.

"Wait for me here, don't walk around, I'll be back soon!"

"Okay, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, hehe."

Xiaoyu responded calmly, but as soon as she turned her head, the expression on her face became solemn.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm, then slowly approached the dry well.

She stretched her head over, and the well was pitch black, and she couldn't see the bottom at all.

The flashlight also lost its effect, but fortunately the flashlight on the mobile phone could be used. Although the light was a little dim, it was better than stretching out one's hand and not seeing one's fingers.

After looking around, he grabbed a longer vine and tied it to his body, and pulled it hard to test the firmness, and then slowly slid down.

Compared to the outside, the well was even colder. It was so cold that I couldn't help shivering before I even reached the bottom.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

In such a tormenting state of mind, my feet finally touched the ground.

Looking around, I found that there was something wrong with the well wall in front of me, so I wanted to reach out to check.

Unexpectedly, a stone fell out as soon as I touched it.

Xiaoyu swallowed his saliva, looked into the hole in the light, and then pushed aside other stones and walked in with his head held high.

The hole was not big, just enough space for two people. There was a ceramic jar on the ground.

Xiaoyu recognized at a glance that the ceramic jar was pasted with a talisman to suppress evil.

"This should be what the senior wants."

"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better to take it back as soon as possible to avoid any accidents."

After talking to himself in his heart, Xiaoyu started to hold the ceramic jar.

Who would have thought that as soon as the finger touched the ceramic jar, there was a tingling sensation, and after only a few seconds, severe pain came.

"Not good!"

Xiaoyu's face changed drastically. Looking at his purple fingers, he immediately realized that he was poisoned and the poison was still spreading.

He acted decisively and took out a dagger to cut off his finger. He didn't feel any pain the previous minute, but the piercing pain almost made him faint.

Before he had time to bandage, there was a rustling sound around.

Looking at the light, a large number of centipedes actually drilled out of the cracks in the stone wall!

There was also a large centipede lying on the ceramic jar. I didn't pay attention to it before, so I was bitten by it.

Just one centipede is so poisonous. If you are drowned by these dense centipedes, you will definitely die!

Xiaoyu gritted his teeth, picked up the dagger and pierced the centipede in front of him, then picked up the ceramic jar and ran!

He couldn't care about the pain right now. If he was a little slower, he would be dead.

He could only push up desperately!

As soon as he got out of the well, Xiaoyu didn't dare to stop to breathe. He ran away without stopping, pulled the blind girl and ran away.

...

Ye Ran didn't know what happened in the back mountain. He was still sitting there, smoking one cigarette after another, throwing cigarette butts all over the floor.

I don't know why, as if a flash of inspiration came to him, he immediately slapped his head heavily.

"I was confused from smoking, I forgot such a simple principle!"

Ye Ran laughed unconsciously. There are thousands of monsters in the world, each with its own tyrannical characteristics, but also with weaknesses.

As long as it is a plant-based monster, the most afraid is fire!

Previously, his thoughts were always imprisoned on the skeleton, and he completely forgot about this.

After finding a solution, Ye Ran immediately returned to the shadow puppet hall, brought a lot of lamp oil, and threw it all over.

After searching the bag for a while, he found that there was still a grenade that was not used, so he immediately pulled the safety and threw the grenade over.

As the explosion sounded, a small mushroom cloud of flames rose from the ground, and the lamp oil that was poured over was also ignited at this moment. The flames instantly ignited the roots of the tree and slowly spread to the waist of the tree.

"Enjoy it!"

Ye Ran laughed out loud.

The tree demon ignited by the flames had become agitated, raising the roots and dancing wildly, and the corpses hanging on them were about to make piercing screams.

Unfortunately, it had no choice. With no one to help, the tree demon could only watch the flames devour it.

"Senior, senior, help me!"

The sudden voice made Ye Ran frown and turn around, and then he saw Xiaoyu being chased by a group of centipedes.

Because he ran too fast, the blind girl couldn't keep up with him, and she accidentally fell to the ground.

Ye Ran stretched out his arms, and two double-winged centipedes crawled out with a buzzing sound, spread their wings and flew towards the centipede group.

There were originally three, but Ye Ran killed one with his golden blood.

But that was enough.

The two-winged centipede flew in front of the centipede army, making a buzzing sound with great frequency.

The group of centipedes did not move forward, but all stood up and shook their long whiskers, and then retreated.

Seeing this amazing scene, Xiaoyu's eyes almost popped out: "Fuck, centipede leader?"

The two-winged centipede that had finished its work flew back slowly and got into Ye Ran's sleeve.

"Thank you, senior!"

Xiaoyu hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted. Fortunately, he ran back in time, otherwise he would have become a feast for the centipede.

"Did you bring back what I wanted?" Ye Ran did not waste any more words with him.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiaoyu hurriedly handed over the ceramic jar.

Ye Ran opened it and took out a hand bone, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Xiaoyu, my leg hurts a little." The girl fumbled and pulled Xiaoyu's clothes with a painful look on her face.

Suddenly, a bad premonition came to Xiaoyu's heart, and he quickly checked her body and found a small tooth mark on her ankle.

"Suffer it!"

Xiaoyu quickly opened the girl's trousers, and sure enough, the whole calf was turning purple!

"I...I, I don't have the antidote on me."

He was so panicked that he scratched his head in confusion and lost his bearings for a moment.

"Dingling bell~"

The bell on Ye Ran's wrist made a sound, and he immediately turned around and looked around, but he still didn't see anything unusual.

"Weird thing."

After saying that, he moved his eyes to the blind girl's legs, then took out a small machete from his backpack, handed it over and said, "Cut off her legs."

"Ah?" Xiaoyu raised his head with red eyes, staring at the machete in front of him, but he still didn't reach out.

The girl is already blind. If her legs are cut off, how will she survive in the future?

Xiaoyu's heart is extremely complicated. He has the courage to cut off his own fingers, but he does not have the courage to cut off the girl's legs.

"waste."

Ye Ran kicked her away, then raised the knife and chopped off the girl's calf.

At this moment, the bell on his wrist rang again.

"Um?"

Ye Ran had already noticed something was wrong, his eyes moved to the girl, and he gently leaned his wrist towards her.

"Dingling bell——"

The bronze bell rings again!

At this moment, Ye Ran's eyes had changed. To confirm, he leaned his wrist again.

As the bell rang, his eyes suddenly turned cold, he raised his machete high and slashed at the girl's head!

"No!!"

Xiaoyu was so angry that he wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

The machete split open the girl's head with precision!

It stands to reason that since the head has been broken into two halves, the person would have been dead long ago.

As a result, no one expected that the girl suddenly giggled, but the sound she made was obviously angry.

"I've disguised myself well enough, but I didn't expect my identity to be revealed by the gadget in your hand. I'm so angry!"

The blind girl's body suddenly changed, mixed together and formed a new face.

Xiaoyu looked at this scene with some disbelief, because the new figure appeared——

It's the puppet with heavy makeup!

"No wonder, I told you why the hexagram is so strange. The water level is clearly right in front of you, but you can't find the specific location."

"As I expected, you should be just the incarnation of the puppet ghost. The bones I'm looking for are on your body."

Ye Ran spoke in a cold tone, his hand already touching the satchel.

Before becoming a ghost king, it is impossible for all ghosts to speak human words, unless they can speak briefly under certain circumstances.

The ghost's soul should still be in the well, and it can speak because the illusion it created has special blessings.

"That's clever, but now that I have all my bones, I don't need your help."

"Please all go to hell!"
