Get in here!" Dad reached out and grabbed the back of my neck, dragging me into the main hall.My senior brother didn't even come to my rescue. He just said in a cold tone, "The rice is already in the..."My dad took me there once before, when I was little. I was so scared that I couldn't handle it. After that, every time he went, I just waited for him nearby... But now things have progressed so much, and besides, even the Seven Lords and Eight Lords will come to protect you. I think it's okay to go."

There was a hint of nervousness in his tone, which made my heart pound with fear.

The car drove to a nearby small town, which had hot springs and many resorts. It was quite popular. Could such a place have such vicious and sinister energy

Outside the car window was a barren mountain. I vaguely saw a cluster of houses on the mountain, but without exception, every window and door was a gaping black hole.

It had no windows, no doors, like a person whose eyes had been scooped out and teeth pulled. On the mountain, it stared at us with wide eyes, silent and still.

I'm a little scared. I don't have my grandfather's strong mental fortitude to treat a grave like his own home. After that white funeral, I developed a bit of claustrophobia.

It's not just the confined space, this all-consuming darkness also terrifies me.

"I don't know which idiot came here to develop a vacation villa, you see this, and you'll know what happens." My brother scoffed.

Yes, some people think that a place with mountains and water is a good place, but it's not necessarily true. Even ordinary people who don't understand geomancy should be able to tell the difference between picturesque mountains and rivers and desolate, barren ones.

This mountain doesn't look auspicious at all, it looks barren and desolate. And to think, anyone would choose to live on a mountain... It's the burial grounds that should be built on mountains, not homes.

That developer probably didn't understand these taboos at all. Looking at this mess of unfinished buildings, you can imagine what happened.

"Jiang Qiyun is right, green hills cover white bones, yellow sand covers green water. We walk on this land, who knows what happened here before So we should still respect some things from our ancestors." My brother took a bite of his lollipop and drove carelessly.

A car came speeding down the opposite lane and flashed its headlights at us twice. My brother also flashed back: "Look, these are our colleagues. Otherwise, in this godforsaken place, only ghosts would come."

"Dad, when did he bring you here You're so brave, you even got psychologically traumatized...what if I get scared fainted" I asked nervously.

"Well, it's nothing really. I was just young back then, and it really corrupted my innocent heart..."

My brother said he was only fifteen at the time, right in his rebellious teenage years. My dad saw that he was too bold and disobedient, thinking it was necessary to let him taste what fear was like.

Only children who know fear also know reverence. So, their father took him to Xi'an to broaden his horizons.

“So, in the cemetery, I saw a woman. She was murdered, but she was also mutilating herself. She kept repeating her final actions, using silverware to cut herself on her breasts and thighs. Her ribs were showing, and she even cut her genitals... In the end, she stabbed her eyeballs with a fork. I almost vomited. It was so horrible... I wanted nothing more than to cut ties with my father.”

My brother gave a simple description of the scene at the time, his voice still trembling with lingering fear.

"Even if your dad is trying to scare you, he wouldn't cut off all ties with you..."

My brother glared at me: “You don’t understand! I was going through puberty back then, okay Seeing such a horrifying female body almost traumatized me! What if I thought of this scene every time I looked at a woman Then I wouldn't be able to do anything! I was so scared... I didn't dare watch romance or action movies for two or three years. I couldn't even think about women’s bodies! Unexpectedly, my grades skyrocketed because of this… It wasn’t until after college that I started dating.”

I knew that no matter how terrifying a story was, when my brother told it, the result would be comedic.

Here the atmosphere was eerie and terrifying, he said this passage, which made me cover my mouth and laugh until my stomach hurt.

The car was parked in a mountain hollow. There was also a jeep there, could it be from the same group

"Xiao Qiao, if we encounter anyone on the way, let's just avoid them. I don't know who they are, so don't speak to them—sometimes people can be more frightening than ghosts." My brother reminded me.

I nodded quickly. Compared to my brother, I was much less brave. When it came to boldness, meticulousness, eloquence, and thick skin, my brother was the role model among us all.

After getting off the car, what lay before my eyes was a dark ravine and "a road with no end."

This is a U-shaped ravine, with scattered graves and overgrown weeds on the mountain.

My older brother pulled me up the slope, towards the place where the yin qi was heaviest. He pointed to a small tombstone not far away and whispered, "It's there. Let's arm ourselves first. When you see anything later, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Being armed up" means putting on a mask and sunglasses, continuing to be a breath of fresh air in the ghost market.

My brother pulled out a folding military shovel from his backpack. Seeing him stretch his arms and prepare to dig a grave, I couldn't help but think silently: blood really is magical. Looking at my brother, the eldest son of the family, digging graves with such a fierce demeanor, he certainly inherited the family tradition.

He had just dug open a corner, and in the flashlight beam, I saw black, viscous blood welling up from beneath the tombstone.

"Ah!" I jumped back in fright.

My brother couldn't pull me back in time, and I felt the icy chill of something touch my back.

I dare not turn back. It is said that when a person turns their head, the breath will extinguish one of the two fires on their shoulders, making them vulnerable to evil spirits.

My brother shook his head, made a shushing gesture at me, and continued to loosen the base of the tombstone.

The thing behind me floated away. I glanced back and saw a one-legged ghost, wandering aimlessly around. As my brother dug deeper, more and more ghosts appeared around us.

Soon, I saw the ghost my brother had mentioned. She was sitting on a grave, using a Western dinner knife and fork to cut off pieces of her own flesh. Particularly gruesome was how she mutilated her female parts.

My brother turned pale when he saw the ghost. He turned his head and took a couple of deep breaths, pretending not to see it.

These ghosts seem to be moving aimlessly around here, endlessly repeating their actions before death. Can't they go to the underworld

As the ghosts grew more numerous, I shivered so violently my teeth chattered. My brother rubbed his arms and kept bending over to lift tombstones.

All sorts of gruesome ghosts were swirling before my eyes, I could barely stand it. Luckily, my brother finally heaved the tombstone open. Beneath it was a rectangular pit, grayish and mirror-like.

He pulled me along, just about to step into the pit, when the surrounding ghosts suddenly hissed and puffed out white smoke, startling us both.

A wave of overwhelming cold instantly swept over this place, suppressing the ghostly presence. The wooden ghosts scattered like frightened specters, each drifting back to their desolate graves.

"Where are you going—" I heard a familiar cold voice.

>d out my hand, and it immediately climbed up my arm, even nudging my chin with its head.My goodness, this is so intimate, it must be Bai Ni, but why has she become so small..."Bai Ni, where's Mu Wan C...
