Old Taoist Qiu snorted coldly. Using his right hand to support the wall, he jumped into the air and waited for the height of the wall to match with the height of the wall. With his left hand lightly pushed against the wall, he landed gently in the courtyard.

Mao Babao looked at Hamborg who was busy preparing for his ladder and chuckled, he reached out and grabbed my shoulder, then said, "Fourth Boss, sorry about that." With that, he took out a pair of chopsticks and pointed at the academy wall with his right hand, then followed Old Taoist Qiu's posture and brought me along into the courtyard.

To be honest, this ancestral hall should be considered a large two-way house. The front courtyard should be the ancestral hall and the side room. The backyard is where we came in from. It's a very ordinary square yard, with only a row of columns and windows on the south side. On the north side of the wall, there are rows of sheds with some farm tools and cars inside. There were several small rooms on both sides of the house. It seemed like they were places to stay while on duty. In the middle of the yard was the mysterious dark room.

At this moment, the room was not small. It was about four meters tall and twenty meters square, which meant that it was a house, but there were no doors or windows. It was as if a huge black box had been placed on the ground.

When Hamborg came in, the four of them crept in front of the dark room. I reached out and lightly knocked on the walls of the dark room, making sounds that were neither stone nor wood. The material gave me a strange feeling, as if there was a force that wanted to suck me in, suck me in, suck me into the dark room. Unknowingly, I felt faint. It was as though there was something very special and mysterious that was attracting me from within. It made me want to immediately enter it without caring about anything else.

His head immediately came to his senses, and at the same time, the Old Taoist Qiu's voice sounded in my ears, "This is Gloomy Wood, a Yin item. If one was much closer, they would be able to suck in a person's soul. Placing this kind of item on their treasured acupoints, these people were truly daring. However, this humble Taoist has never seen so many gloomy trees in his life. "

I lowered my head and didn't say anything, because I could feel that the mysterious power that had attracted me just now was definitely not evil, but a strong desire or yearning. It could even be said to be something beautiful.

After circling around the little black room, I didn't find anything. I used my eyes to look at the three of them. Aside from shaking my head, I lowered my head. It seems that I didn't think of anything. So I pointed to the wall. Let's go back.

Returning back to the wall, right when Hamborg who was at the head of the group touched the ladder, suddenly, someone behind him said: "Everyone, are you leaving?"

I turned my head abruptly upon hearing the sound and a few beams of white light suddenly lit up, shining directly on my eyes!

The white light shot straight into my eyes, illuminating everything in front of me so that I couldn't see anything. The back of my head tightened and I felt as if someone was grabbing my neck and lifting me up. This was an opportunity! I lightly patted the back of Old Taoist Qiu's hand, giving him a signal to not resist, then narrowed my eyes, allowing his eyesight to quickly recover.

The four of us were escorted into a room on the east side of the courtyard, where four or five young men in their twenties stood, glaring at us menacingly. These people were big and sturdy, and there seemed to be traces of strange black air between their brows. It made people feel that they weren't simple.

Just as I was sizing up the crowd, a middle-aged man around forty years old split the crowd and stood in front of me. He had a dignified expression on his face as he asked, "Who are you people?"

I slowly opened my eyes and saw that he was the middle-aged man who had stopped me from entering the backyard the other day. He nodded slightly.

The middle-aged man looked me up and down a few times and said, "I have some impression of him." But I should have told you not to enter this backyard, right? It's not like you guys are doing anything good by sneaking in here in the middle of the night. "

I indicated towards Hamborg with my mouth, and then said to him with a smile, "He is a foreigner, and wants to come. You are not allowed to come in during the day, so we can only come in the evening." We didn't do it on purpose. Do you think we should be magnanimous? " I took a wad of money out of my pocket and handed it over. "Brothers, it's been hard on you. Buy a pack of cigarettes, buy a pack of cigarettes.

The middle-aged man snorted and opened my hand. Then, he turned to look at Hamborg, "You are a foreigner? Which country? "

I rolled my eyes and looked at Hamborg. "My name is John Christopher Friedrich von Hamborg," Hamborg said as he took out a stack of passports from his pocket and held them in his hand. "As for which country am I from? "It doesn't matter, it depends on which country you want me to be from. You can choose whatever you want."

The middle-aged man was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He pointed at Hamborg and asked loudly, "Have you ever seen a foreigner with such a strong accent?"

I held back my laughter and pointed at Hamborg. "Him?" After saying that, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Mao Babao also chuckled secretly, and even the corners of Old Taoist Qiu's mouth curled into an obvious curve.

"I repeat, my name is John Christopher Fredrich von Hamborg! You can't restrict my freedom, I want to contact the embassy in my country! "

When the middle-aged man saw that we were all just teasing him, he laughed instead of getting angry, "Good, good, good! I can't get in touch with the embassy, and I don't want to. Since this is the ancestral hall, I can't use force. Why don't I send you to a place where you can talk slowly if you have anything to say? If you have anything to say, then laugh slowly! " As soon as his voice fell, a few young men pushed the four of us into a small room next door, one by one. The tacit understanding in their words made people feel that these people were already familiar with the way to do these things.

As soon as we were pushed into the little room, we heard a click, and the whole floor opened up like a trapdoor, and the four of us fell through the exposed black hole.

"Fourth Boss, isn't he afraid that the four of us are here to cause trouble?" Hamborg's voice came out from my body. When we were falling, the three of us happened to move closer to him.

I patted the dirt on my body and stood up. "They are confident that we will be finished." Besides, with you as an outsider, it's easier to report a missing person than to report a dead person. I have to thank you for coming here today. "

Mao Babao who was at the side took out a small flashlight and pressed it on, then exclaimed out loud, "What the f * ck is this thing?"

I turned my head to the source of the voice and saw that Mao Babao's flashlight had illuminated a human face! The face was serene, but rough and cracked like bark.

Hamborg and I took out our flashlights and turned it on at the same time. This was a tree that was extremely thick and dry. The surface of the tree trunk was filled with disgusting knobs, and on each of the knobs, a human face appeared! I took a few steps back and looked up. The branches of the tree stretched up, and there were human corpses hanging between them.

It was a locust tree. The trunk of a tree was embedded with human faces, while the branches were filled with corpses. It was a locust tree!
