Misty mist, lush forests, a simple thatched cottage, and a stone statue of a two-person fox, in this silent night, it looks like a tomb.

Bai Lu stood there, her eyes full of fear and astonishment.

She didn't like it here, but she didn't know why she came back here.

"Can you hear me? Can you really hear me?"

"Don't trust him, don't trust him!"

"Come and save me."

"Come and save me."

A woman's miserable cry for help kept ringing out, which made people shudder.

The next moment, Bai Lu's body trembled, as if she was being shocked by electricity.

Because in her line of sight, on the face of the spirit fox statue riddled with holes, an eye was drilled out of one of the holes.

human eyes!

The eyeball of this eye was yellow and bloodshot, and it kept turning, scanning the surroundings one by one until it reached Bai Lu.

It stared at Bai Lu, with bright blood and tears gushing from its eye sockets.

"Save me! Save me!"

The blood and tears fell on the ground drop by drop, making a ticking sound.

For a moment, Bai Lu felt a sense of suffocation as if her head was stuck in a quagmire.

"Can't you all see, can't you hear?"

At this moment, Bai Lu remembered that there were other people around.

She turned her head in a daze, only to find that those fellow disciples, including the vice suzerain Li Yulin, were all kneeling there, offering incense to the weeping spirit fox statue.

They looked blank, like sculptures, and they didn't look like people anymore.

A gust of mountain wind blew, and the shadows of the surrounding trees swayed. In Bai Lu's eyes, the ancestral land in this sect was like a tomb where wronged souls were buried, terrifyingly gloomy.

She ran away in fright, and soon plunged into a forest.

It was very dark in the woods, and the sound of some big birds fluttering their wings was heard occasionally, making it even more frightening.

A little light finally appeared ahead.

Bai Lu rushed over without stopping, and then froze there.

She found herself back again!

Back to the gloomy ancestral land, what's even more frightening is that all those fellow disciples who had incensed the spirit fox statue all looked at her.

That look, as if sending her to die.

Bai Lu was so frightened that she turned around and ran away.

Darkness, endless darkness.

The darkness turned into a coat called fear, wrapping her whole body.

Bai Lu only felt that she was in a quagmire-like dream, very uncomfortable, almost unable to breathe, but unable to wake up.

At this time, a gleam of light appeared in the dark woods again.

She walked along that little light, but her heart was full of fear.

She was afraid of seeing those fellow disciples again, holding burning incense in the ancestral land, looking at herself like a dead person.

Bai Lu finally braved up and ran over.

Because in the woods behind her, there was a sound like a baby crying. She didn't know what it was, but felt great fear.

In the end, she only heard a crash, and she found herself coming out, standing in front of the inner lake at the Zongmen mountain gate.

Under the night, in the dark green lake, red, white, black, and variegated carp are churning, smudged into a piece of flowing color, just like the most gorgeous ink in the brush of a painter.

As for the Yunxue Sect inside the mountain gate, it was quiet and there was no fire at all. In Bai Lu's eyes, it looked like a huge group of tombs.

Looking at these carps, Bai Lu felt uneasy and wanted to leave.

She is going to find brother Ji and sister.

This Yun Xuezong is really evil!

As a result, as soon as she took a step, a hand suddenly stretched out from the water and dragged her down.

The tumbling water submerged her head, and she choked several times.

There was a greasy feeling around her body, Bai Lu turned her body in a panic, and found that the hand pulling her had disappeared, and the surroundings were full of that kind of carp.

These carp are not afraid of people at all, after seeing her, they all rushed over.

For a moment, Bai Lu even felt that those fish eyes were filled with a cold aura.

With these strange fish floating in the water, she struggled to swim back to the shore, but found that she couldn't.

In the water, she could only watch helplessly as she was pushed into the depths of the green lake by the carps.

Suddenly, Bai Lu knew where they were taking her.

The spring, the spring in the lake!

It is said that this inner lake of Yunxuezong is connected with a spring.

In the dark green lake water, the spring looks like a ghost's mouth or empty eyes, which makes people feel cold all over.

Bai Lu struggled, but it didn't help, and was quickly pushed into the spring.

After struggling in the water for so long, she didn't feel stuffy, she just felt that she was going down obliquely.

In this incomparably pitch-black spring, the spring water surged darkly, seemingly powerless, but in reality it kept leading her down.

At first the carp was still against her body, but when it got to the back, even the carp was gone.

There was darkness in her eyes, she touched her neck in a daze, and found that there was an opening, she couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

She always felt that she had become a fish and couldn't help herself in the water.

In the blur, a little light appeared in front of it, it was a big fish with green light emitting from its body.

This fish is about half the size of a human being, and looks like a carp. It looks very old and makes people palpitate.

Finally, the seemingly irreversible flow of water stopped, and Bai Lu found herself in a corridor.

This corridor is like a deep house compound, with wooden doors, wooden windows and stone pillars, which sank into the water for some reason.

The broken window paper was soaked into flocs in the water, and those big glowing fish wandered in the room and in the corridor.

Bai Lu stood there nervously, when she suddenly heard the sound of doors and windows shaking behind her.

She only felt a great sense of fear, and ran forward without any hesitation.

In the process of running forward, she glanced at the room by the corridor out of the corner of her eye, and always felt that there were pairs of sinister eyes hidden in those broken windows.

Help, blah blah.

This corridor is not a straight line, but has a certain arc.

Bai Lu was very scared, and kept running, and she always felt that the cut on her neck was getting bigger and bigger.

At the end of the corridor is a wall.

A blue brick wall with faint green moss growing on it looks like the face of a skin patient from a distance, which is very disgusting.

When she looked back, she found only a few big glowing fish swimming in the corridor, and nothing was chasing after them.

The panic-stricken sense of fear just now disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

But at this moment, Bai Lu didn't have the courage to go back.

She looked at the broken yellow talisman paper pasted on the door and window of the corridor, and knew that there might be great danger inside.

She began tapping on the brick wall to see if she could get past it.

The anxious state of mind caused her to spit out a series of air bubbles. What frightened Bai Lu was that there were more air bubbles coming out of the opening in her neck than her mouth.

She has a sense of loss, that is, is she still human?

But now she can't control so much, because the door and window behind her suddenly moved again, bringing up a string of blisters, as if something was about to come out.

Bai Lu scanned the wall in a panic, looking for an exit.

She swept away the moss one by one with her hands, and she really found a red brick mixed with the green brick.

So she quickly touched the protruding red brick with her hand, only to find that the red brick was easily pulled out.

Seeing this, Bai Lu hurried to fetch the brick next to it, and found that after the red brick was gone, the blue brick next to it was quite loose, and it was not difficult to remove it.

Inexplicably running here to move bricks, Bai Lu only felt that it was too difficult for her.

As a result, at this moment, she suddenly stopped, because at this moment, she saw something through the gap in the wall.

A man was standing there with his back to her.

The man was dressed in a white robe with ink-colored lotus patterns on it, which looked like a landscape painting with splashed ink.

Such a back view looks very elegant, but in Bai Lu's eyes, it is full of ghostly spirit.

Just a back view made her tremble all over.

She had an intuition that this man was a ghost.

Yes, behind this wall in the water, who could be?

In a daze, the man turned around and walked aside.

In the dim waters, she only felt that the man's cheeks were so thin that she couldn't see clearly.

Immediately afterwards, with the sound of rattling iron chains, the "white-clothed devil" dragged out a bloody man from a group of water plants nearby.

At this moment, Bai Lu's whole body was stiff and it was difficult to breathe.

Because she saw the face of the man who was dragged out.

Brother Ji Que?

No! No!

The thickest support in her heart collapsed in an instant, and Bai Lu felt as if she had been frozen, her whole body was bitingly cold.

The evil ghost in white seemed to be aware of her existence, turned his head, and a horrified smile appeared on the blurred and distorted face in the water.

Bai Lu stepped back in fright, and realized that she had bumped into something.

tick tock

The bright red liquid hit her through the water, and she raised her head in a daze, and found that it was a huge, rotten spirit fox that exposed its bones, dripping blood continuously.

As soon as the spirit fox lowered its head, countless blood-red eyes stretched open the skin of its cheeks, densely packed.

"help me!"

"help me!"

"help me!"

The scariest thing is not the bloody eyes on the fox's face and the miserable cries for help, but the face of a sister on the face of this gigantic fox

At the moment when she was almost suffocated, Bai Lu suddenly opened her eyes and gasped violently.

She found herself lying in the room, and the bamboo outside the window was swaying in the wind.

But she wasn't as relaxed as waking up from a nightmare.

She clutched her chest, covered in cold sweat, terrified.

She felt that the thing found her.

Because the dream just now was so real, she could even clearly recall every detail in it.

Immediately, she thought of Ji Que who was dragged away by the white-clothed ghost in the dream just now, and stood up.

No, I have to tell Brother Ji Que.

At least, he can't have an accident.

Ji Que was supposed to be on duty tonight, but he had to reluctantly skip work to go to night raids, bah, to meet the female leader Ning Hongyu.

As a result, he was just about to set off when he saw Bai Lu standing there cautiously.

In the night, Xiao Nizi's hair was disheveled and her eyes were frightened, as if she had seen a ghost.

"Second Miss, why are you here?"

"Brother-in-law."

Hearing this address, Ji Que knew that the other party's condition must be bad.

Ji Que hurriedly asked the other party to come over.

When the porter is on duty, there is no special room for resting. There is only a table and chairs in the corridor at the entrance for resting.

Ji Que quickly poured a cup of tea for the other party, and asked, "Second Miss, what happened?"

It wasn't until she saw clearly the spring-like face under Ji Que's lamp that Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Ji, if I say that the spirit fox statue in Zudi can talk, would you believe me?"

Ji Que regained his energy all of a sudden, and said, "I believe it. What did it tell you?"

Bai Lu was surprised that Ji Que didn't treat her as a lunatic, but she soon figured it out.

Brother Ji Que wanted to comfort himself, maybe she would treat her like this if she really went crazy?

She didn't pause, and told Ji Que all the dreams she had encountered and had tonight.

Although the feeling of that thing finding her was absurd, she still wanted to speak out.

Because she felt that if she didn't speak out, she would go crazy and collapse.

Besides, although this thing can't tell the truth from the fake, it can at least give Brother Ji Que a wake-up call.

In the dream just now, Brother Ji Que was tricked

Thinking of that scene, Bai Lu shuddered.

Under the dim lamp, Bai Lu narrated her absurd auditory hallucinations and bizarre and terrifying dreams.

Ji Que was so engrossed in listening that he almost took out his small notebook and wrote it down.

These things about Bai Lu are obviously closely related to what he wants to investigate.

Her dream is definitely not as simple as having a dream at night.

In many ghost stories since ancient times, there has been a saying of "entrusting dreams".

According to Bai Lu's description, the dream was extremely real, full of countless details, as if it was real.

Does this mean that there is really such a corridor under the spring at the bottom of the lake?

Did the spirit fox want to ask for help through the dream, so that Bai Lu could find someone to save it?

But what the hell are those terrifying changes behind?

Obviously, the dream was weird and complicated.

Ji Que felt that if there is such a place in the lake bottom spring, it is very likely to be close to the truth.

Ji Que decided to go to Ning Hongyu.

He comforted Bai Lu for a while, and arranged for her to rest in Dan's room.

These days as a concierge, he is quite familiar with the alchemy female disciple inside.

Looking at the raging fire and the friendly smiles of the female disciples who stayed up all night practicing alchemy, Bai Lu gradually relaxed.

As long as there is a crowd, it seems that it is not so scary.

Bai Lu was a little surprised for a moment, and found that Ji Gege was more feminine than she imagined this time.

Of course, what surprised her even more was the other party's temperament that made her feel at ease.

She didn't know why he, a concierge, had such a temperament. In short, the flustered Bai Lu quickly calmed down.

After that, Ji Que went to Xue Qingning's residence that he had heard about during the day.

Unfortunately, no one was seen.

As a small concierge, he was directly blocked from the door at first, and later, he took the risk of being exposed and attacked at night, only to find that Xue Qingning, also known as Ning Hongyu, was really not there.

Where did people go this late at night?

Ji Que felt that it was necessary to confirm the reality of Bai Lu's dream.

Perhaps, what he has been looking for, the thread that strings those "beads" of truth is there.

So, in almost the same night, Ji Que stood in front of the green lake again.
