At this moment, there were countless questions in my mind, but I didn't know how to voice them out. Furthermore, I didn't have time to think too much into the current situation because there was still a matter that I had to settle.

Just a moment ago, Lingling and I accidentally entered the depths of this birch forest. We hurriedly chased after the person in front of us, but we had actually forgotten what kind of path we had taken.

At this moment, he was already unable to tell where to go, especially in the depths of the birch forest. It looked like he would have to walk around for a while before being able to leave.

Thinking of this, I frowned slightly. At this moment, I still remembered the direction that the two figures headed towards earlier.

Regardless of whether the figure just now was real or just an illusion, I know that that direction is the direction of the birch forest, it's better not to go there.

Right now, they could only follow the opposite direction. Although the birch forest was large, it would at most take some detours. If they spent some time, they would definitely be able to get out.

Now that I have a general idea in my heart, since I want to solve these mysteries, I must find out what the evil ways of my foster father are.

When he got home, he would need to check out his foster father's room and see what other secrets were hidden within.

Although I didn't want to touch my adoptive father's room too deeply, there was a shadow on it and I was afraid that something like yesterday would disturb me.

However, since things had already progressed to this stage, there was nothing they could do about it …

After walking through the forest for a while, I suddenly felt something strange. On the way, I saw a lot of scarecrows.

After all, this is a time to travel through the forest, which is a huge limitation of observing the general situation of the forest. However, from the locations I passed by just now, I was able to see a few clues …

These scarecrows looked messy, but they had some hidden tricks up their sleeves.

This birch forest, in the past, when my foster father taught me about feng shui, he once said, the birch forest, is a land of death in the mountains.

Every mountain would have one or more places to kill. This kind of place was impossible to see sunlight all year round. It was completely different from the dense vegetation on the ground. Although there were plants, it was inevitable that it would be sparse.

As for the birch tree, it was considered neutral amongst the Yin and Yang, but the Yin and Yang were different, so it was not strange for it to grow in a land of death.

It would not be strange if it could grow in any other location, but to be able to grow so densely in a land of death, it was like living in a land of death.

And this kind of vitality was not prepared for others, but for ghosts …

That is to say, the birch forest has become negative over time, so the deeper we go into the birch forest, the more eerie and eerie we feel.

This kind of place could indeed nourish the Yin Qi on Ghost Being.

Previously, I thought that since the birch forest was so large, if we didn't enter deep into it, we wouldn't be able to see that the entire birch forest was actually a land of death.

I never thought that there would be such a place on the mountain in the village …

As for these scarecrows, they were all in the perils of this land of death.

Actually, with so many birch trees growing out of the dead land, it didn't turn the dead land into a living ground, but a dark land instead.

Yin Qi pervaded the area. However, although it could nourish Yin Qi, it could not calm the grave.

After all, this was a forest, and in the wind and water, the forest was called a prison or a prison. Even though it was filled with Yin Qi, there was a certain amount of pressure to keep the ghosts inside, preventing them from entering the cycle of reincarnation.

Thinking about this, I frowned. Was the Ghost Being I saw beside the scarecrow just now an existence that was restricted by the birch tree in the middle of the forest?

And what was the use of these strange scarecrows nailed to the birch tree?

Frowning, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure it out.

After all, I've only learned some feng shui skills from my foster father. If he really wants to let me see through a trap, then it can only be said that I'm still inexperienced and don't have this kind of ability.

All I know is that the Yin Pass in the Yin Field is a Yin Gathering Point. It is like a pillar supporting a house. The Yin Qi in the whole forest is emitted from these points.

That's why I'm wondering what the purpose of pinning the scarecrow to this place with the heaviest yin energy is.

I didn't know why, so I didn't dare to act rashly. The woods were too strange right now. I had to get out of it as soon as possible.

The sky gradually darkened, and the strange sounds coming from the forest once again entered our ears. Lingling and I followed the path that we had decided on earlier.

I seemed to hear whispers all around me, the leaves rustling gently, as if someone behind me were calling my name...

Hualala … Hualala …

Lingling and I will travel through the forest like this, and only after it is dark, will we leave the forest.

It was dark by now, and I was back in the village graveyard.

At this moment, Lingling and I were already wet. I panted heavily as I looked at the sky, and saw that there were actually some sparse stars.

As the weather grew colder, I couldn't help but shiver. I turned my head to look at the cemetery.

At this moment, the graveyard was the strangest. There were sounds of insects chirping from time to time, and the birds in the owls hiding in the forest were making sounds like children crying.

The sweat on our bodies was partly because we were tired, and partly because we were too nervous.

When we were walking through the forest, the more night fell, the more I felt like there was a pair of them … No, there are many pairs of eyes staring at me …

It was like a wild beast hiding in the forest, making me extremely nervous …

At this moment, in the cemetery, I felt an eerie feeling. Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly felt something behind me gently pat me …

The reason why they chose to come during the day was because at night, this graveyard was really too demonic. They didn't expect that after wandering around the birch forest, it would actually be night again …

Feeling that someone was patting me from behind, I remembered what happened that day when I was watching over my foster father. I tightly pulled Lingling and said:

"Lingling, you must not turn back, do you hear me?"

Lingling responded softly. Right at this moment, I saw that beside the graves, there seemed to be … One figure after another stood there.

These figures were all sitting in front of the tombstone, wearing colorful clothes. They seemed to be the souls of real people, but they also seemed to be paper people …

They seemed to be laughing at me, but I could faintly hear the sound of their cries.

At this moment, I felt as if there was a burst of mist in the surroundings …

At this time of the year, it wasn't strange for the moon to be foggy at night, but at this moment, waves of fog suddenly appeared, causing the already dim moonlight to become even dimmer.

Through the mist, I could vaguely see the figures of people and their figures … It was as if they were all watching me.

At this moment, the view in front of me had already become blurry. I could only sense a few glances being shot at me.

Why... Why did so many people appear?

I frowned, even though these people looked the same as their adoptive father when he was dying.

But the strange thing is, if these ghostly shadows were the dead villagers, then why would they appear before me like this?

Could it be that the clothes that the adoptive father and the Aunt Zhang were wearing right before their death wasn't the insane image that the villagers were talking about, but instead had some sort of special meaning to it?

But now that such a strange scene has appeared, I didn't dare to stay here any longer, so I pulled Lingling and tried to escape.

However, just as I took a step forward, I suddenly felt as if something on the ground violently tugged at me. My ankle felt bone-chillingly cold.

Because he had pulled Lingling too tightly, he did not even have the time to let go of him when she fell and Lingling fell as well.

Lingling cried out in alarm, but just as I was about to stand up, I felt a cold sensation slowly spreading from my ankles up, as if it was … A hand appeared from the ground and grabbed me.

Ah!

I couldn't help but scream. The fog was too thick, and I wanted to struggle with all my might!
