Nightmare Attack

"empty?"

Hearing this, everyone moved closer. The backpack in front of them was not significantly different from the previous two, but Huang Jun easily lifted it up with only one hand.

Everyone was very curious about this third basket, because Elder Sun said it contained debts from old age and death.

As the black cloth was removed, several black food boxes were revealed in the backpack.

Wu Qiang opened his eyes wide and said with a trace of confusion in his muffled voice, "Is this the debt of old age and death? Isn't this just a food box?"

Li Bai explained that this was no problem. In some places, the food given to the old people who had been sent to death in the kilns was called old people's debts, which meant that these old people had died long ago and they were still eating food from home just to collect debts. These were all owed in their previous lives. of.

However, Li Bai's focus was on the food box itself. Even 6 empty food boxes would not be so light. After a moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and she reached out and grabbed a food box.

"Huh? Is this made of paper?"

The next second, Weng Chenglin was shocked. It wasn't until he picked up a food box and looked at it that he finally confirmed this.

These food boxes are made of paper, but they are so exquisitely made and painted that you can't even notice them unless you pick them up.

Holding the food box, Huang Jun's face fell, "We just take this paper food box to meet the old people who have been sent to death in the kilns. Is this okay?"

Li Baiyao and Shun Yu had no choice but to focus on the last basket. Elder Sun said that it contained filial sons and virtuous grandsons.

After lifting the black cloth, a strong smell of blood almost knocked Weng Chenglin off his feet. Inside the basket were several tangled filial piety ribbons, but now the white filial piety ribbons were stained red with dirty blood. .

"What's going on?" Weng Chenglin didn't come back to his senses for a long time. This sudden scene shocked him, "Where did you get so much blood?"

Seeing this, Lu Zhangyuan swallowed and stared nervously at the blood filial piety belt, "It is taboo to see red with this blood filial piety belt. I'm afraid something will happen if you take this blood filial piety belt to the death kiln."

This is nonsense, everyone can tell that something is wrong, but this is a task requirement, and more importantly, this blood filial piety belt is not tied around the waist, but around the neck.

Most of the dirty blood on the blood-filial belt has dried, and it is tangled and knotted together, like a large rag, which is difficult to untie.

Wu Qiang spent a lot of effort to finally untie the knot on his blood filial piety belt, but as the knot opened, a small thing wrapped inside fell out.

After squatting down and picking it up, Wu Qiang's eyes changed little by little, and finally his eyes suddenly tightened, and it turned out to be a human finger!

It looks like it should be the little finger, and it is incomplete, with only most of the front knuckle.

The scene in front of me confirmed the fact that these blood mourning belts had been used by others, and all the people who had used them died miserably.

After knowing this, everyone simply tied the blood mourning belt around their necks, and that was all.

As the bloody filial belts hung under his neck, Li Bai couldn't help but take a breath.

"do not move!"

Li Bai asked everyone to stand up and walked quickly behind them. The scene in front of her confirmed her guess.

Weng Chenglin was made uncomfortable by Li Bai. The blood filial piety belt around his neck was like a hanging rope, "Sister Li, what exactly did you find?"

"I know why there is no food in the food box, because you are the sacrifice tonight!"

As Li Bai said these words, the scene went crazy. Yao and Shunyu looked behind Huang Jun. He was wearing brand new clothes and tied with a blood filial piety belt. On the piece of cloth behind his back, there was a yellow written crookedly. The word, indeed, clearly looks like a sacrifice.

"We are the food of those old people?" Weng Chenglin was about to cry for a moment. He instinctively wanted to take off the blood filial piety belt and throw it as far away as possible, but he didn't dare, and his expression was very tangled.

Li Bai held up the wooden box in his hand, which was specially given to him by Elder Sun. Something will happen to the Jisei kiln tonight, and the key to cracking it lies in this box.

Carefully opening the wooden box, there was a red cloth bag inside, which contained a gray-white powder.

"Isn't this ashes?" Luan Lihui is considered to be a better performer among these people, and he can still think rationally now.

Li Bai pinched a little bit with his hand and moved it toward his face. Weng Chenglin's eyes widened and he felt sick in his stomach. He thought Li Bai would taste it.

Fortunately, Li Bai just put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not ashes, it's incense ashes."

"Incense ashes also have the effect of warding off evil spirits. There is a saying that incense can communicate with ghosts and gods. The ashes left by burning incense can isolate yin and yang and draw a line between humans and ghosts."

When everyone heard that incense ash was so useful, no matter whether they could use it or not, everyone shared some to be prepared.

At the bottom of the box, Li Bai also found a piece of paper with some obscure words written on it, which seemed to be some kind of scripture.

Obviously, this is the so-called curse of rebirth.

"This paper is" Yao Shunyu's eyes paused. He had just seen similar paper not long ago.

Li Bai put away the paper and carefully put it into his pocket. The paper was a diary. It was the diary of the painting teacher who was abducted by Empress Zhusheng on the first night. She had an impression of it.

At Yao Shunyu's reminder, Li Bai also put on his own clothes. It was all black, the same clothes as Elder Sun and others, but fortunately there were no cloth shoes.

The group of people didn't delay any longer and headed towards the back mountain under the cover of night.

On the way, Li Bai once again emphasized to everyone the taboo of committing suicide in a kiln.

Originally, they thought that the Jisei Kiln was hidden and would take a lot of effort to find, but things were much simpler than they thought. There was a cliff in the back mountain, and dozens of cave entrances were loosely arranged under the cliff. The cave entrances were all of similar specifications. There is a wall made of bricks outside the entrance of the cave, with only a few gaps left at the top.

At night, the wind blew through the treetops, making a sound similar to the screams of people.

Weng Chenglin suddenly had the courage to look at the gap. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, but Weng Chenglin felt that there was something inside, a pair of malicious eyes staring at him.

There are words on the entrance of the cave, which are some surnames, which seem to correspond to the belonging of the old man in the cave.

"Everyone should go find the Jisei kiln that corresponds to their own surname. Remember what I said before, be careful, and everything will be fine."

Yao, Shun, and Yu no longer hesitated and went to search under the rock wall, while Li Bai stayed outside.

After a few people left, she squatted down and took out the diary paper. After a while, a soft chanting sound slowly came out.

The sound of chanting and the wind were intertwined, adding an unsettling tone to the empty night.
