At the back of the mountain.

It was too late to care about what kind of danger Wu Shan and his friends would encounter. The villagers who went up the mountain to worship had already gone far away. They could not think about anything else. Zhang Yuan and Lin Luo could only follow the villagers to the foot of the mountain.

Suddenly, the villagers stopped, and a scene that shocked Lin Luo and Zhang Yuan happened. They saw four young men carrying a large sedan chair from one side of the woods and swaying out.

Looking at the red sedan chair full of joy, the two of them were both surprised and curious. Why did they carry a sedan chair for sacrifice!

And the color of this sedan chair was really-too ​​gorgeous!

It was obviously full of joy, but in their eyes, this sedan chair seemed to be stained with blood, forming a sharp contrast with the black forest behind it, which seemed so abrupt, strangely bright and dazzling.

"Isn't that the eldest sister of the Li family in there?" Glancing at the villagers around, Zhang Yuan lowered his voice and told Lin Luo about his doubts.

As for why he guessed it was the eldest sister of the Li family, it was mainly because of various things that happened in the past two days that made him think of the eldest sister of the Li family.

The most important thing is that the sacrificial day was postponed for two days in order to wait for the so-called eldest sister of the Li family, so it is no wonder that Zhang Yuan would think so.

Lin Luo was also full of curiosity, but he was not curious about who was in the sedan chair, but when the sedan chair came. He first answered Zhang Yuan's doubts, and then he also said in doubt; "I don't know, but I am curious whether the sedan chair was lifted up in advance? Or was it lifted up last night?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan thought about it and shook his head directly to deny Lin Luo's words. He guessed; "It can't be at night, it should be when the village chief was talking?"

In his opinion, coming to the back mountain in the middle of the night is to say that it is a bit impossible.

While the two were talking, the team that had stopped started again and walked towards the mountain.

The village chief was still walking in the front with a cane. He seemed to be walking slowly but his speed was surprisingly fast.

This time, it was no longer the offerings that followed, but the dazzling red sedan chair. The red sedan chair looked extremely dazzling under the sunlight.

Then came the offering team, and they followed the sedan chair with solemn expressions.

Lin Luo and Zhang Yuan looked at each other and followed directly.

Following the footsteps of the villagers, as soon as they stepped into the forest, they felt that the sky was as dark as ink, as if they had fallen into an endless night in an instant, and the sight suddenly became narrow, and the big red sedan chair in front of them was like a strange red ghost fire, swaying in front, as if luring them to an unknown abyss.

This made them feel a chill in their hearts, and they became more alert.

"These trees are probably hundreds of years old?" Zhang Yuan followed the villagers in front, constantly scanning the surroundings, his eyes full of surprise.

The trees here are tall and strong, with lush branches and leaves, as if they have existed for a long, long time.

Behind him, Lin Luo's eyes were also full of surprise.

He carefully observed these ancient trees, feeling the vitality they exuded. These trees witnessed the changes of the years and carried the memory of history.

Before entering the mountain, he didn't feel anything. When he entered the forest, he found that these trees were indeed quite tall, and the branches that covered the sky almost covered the entire sky.

Only scattered sunlight shone into the entire forest, giving people a mysterious and quiet feeling.

The road they walked on was very wide, and the grass and trees on both sides had obvious traces of being cut by knives. It should be the road that the villagers made in advance.

This road is winding and leads to the depths of the forest, as if leading people to an unknown world.

After walking for an unknown period of time, the village behind them has completely disappeared from the eyes of Lin Luo and the others.

After walking for a while, the villagers finally stopped.

And Lin Luo and the others also noticed that they came to the entrance of a cave.

The sedan chair was placed in front of the cave, and the offerings were placed behind the sedan chair.

Zhang Yuan and Lin Luo couldn't see clearly in the back, so they went around to a mound not far away and hid in a bush.

Looking at the strange scene in front of him, Zhang Yuan kept looking back and forth at the big red sedan chair, and his voice was very low, his tone was a little cold; "This doesn't look like a sacrifice, but a sacrifice!"

Lin Luo responded in a low voice; "Did you notice?"

Zhang Yuan was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Luo; "What?"

"Their expressions!" Lin Luo stared at the villagers and said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan's eyes finally moved away from the big red sedan chair and shifted to the faces of the villagers.

At this moment, the faces of the villagers were no longer smiling as before, butEach of them looked stiff, but they all showed exaggerated smiles, like wooden puppets.

Zhang Yuan had already thought of retreating, but his inner curiosity made him unable to help but continue to watch what would happen.

And Lin Luo also kept a close eye on the actions of Village Chief Li and others.

But a moment later, Village Chief Li actually left with his men.

Only the sacrificial offerings and the strange big red sedan chair were left behind.

"What should we do now?" Looking at Village Chief Li and others who were slowly leaving, Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed with anxiety and struggle, and he couldn't help but speak out.

If they returned later than Village Chief Li, Wu Shan and others might be exposed, or even caught in the act, but he was obviously hesitant.

Just as Zhang Yuan was about to say something, he saw Lin Luo turn over and quickly run towards the big red sedan chair.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan's eyes were dazed for a second, and then he cursed; "Idiot!"

He nervously looked at the direction where Village Chief Li left, and he gritted his teeth and followed Lin Luo.

Lin Luo walked quickly to the big red sedan chair, and he pulled open the curtain without hesitation.

Inside, there was no one!

"Empty!?" Lin Luo's pupils trembled, it was actually empty.

Zhang Yuan, who followed, also stared at the empty sedan chair in a daze. He was also confused for a while and muttered to himself.

"It's actually empty!?"

This was completely different from what Zhang Yuan imagined. He originally thought that the eldest sister of the Li family would be tied up inside, but he never expected that it was empty.

Why did they bring up an empty sedan chair? !

A question popped up in the minds of both of them at the same time.
