I guard the world with the Lord of the Underworld

"Boss, what do you say?" Lin Xi asked in a low voice. Even a person knew that the peasant woman in front of him was definitely not a human.

"Ignore her." Ye Chutang said.

Hua Qingyao had no objection to this, so the three of them ignored the peasant woman and walked straight past her.

When the peasant woman saw several people approaching, her face and smile became more enthusiastic. However, when Hua Qingyao and his party ignored her and walked over, her face and smile suddenly froze, and then her face was full of sorrow.

The three of them continued to walk forward. As they walked, Hua Qingyao became helpless and they went back to the road. The same peasant woman waved to them from the front of the road.

Hua Qingyao glanced at the peasant woman, ignored her, and continued walking forward. The two people behind him were stunned for a moment, and then they followed. It was still the same. They were clearly going straight forward, but then they returned to the starting point.

Lin Xi turned to look at Hua Qingyao. Should he continue to ignore it or take action directly?

Hua Qingyao turned around and walked straight towards the peasant woman.

When the peasant woman saw Hua Qingyu coming, her smile became even brighter, "Guys, are you tired from the journey? Come to my house and take a rest."

Just when Lin Xi thought that his boss was about to take action, Hua Qingyao smiled and said cheerfully: "Okay."

Lin Xi looked at Hua Qingyao's smile and felt inexplicably cold. The boss was going to cause trouble.

Hearing Hua Qingyao's answer, the peasant woman was very happy and hurriedly led the way for the three of them.

There was obviously a weedy wasteland next to the path, but after the farmer woman turned around and entered, a country path unexpectedly appeared.

Hua Qingyao was not in a hurry, chatting and laughing with the peasant woman.

"Is the eldest sister a local?" Hua Qingyao asked casually.

The peasant woman smiled and said, "No, my husband's family is from here."

"Oh, life is not easy here, isn't it?" Hua Qingyao looked at the scene around him. It was obviously in the mountains in summer, but the surroundings were extremely quiet, as if they were the only ones left in the world.

The peasant woman sighed: "It's a bit hard, but we can still survive if we live together."

Hua Qingyao's eyes flashed slightly, it seemed that there were other "people".

"How did the eldest sister know that we are coming, and she went to the roadside to wait for us?" Hua Qingyao's question made Ye Chutang startled and subconsciously put him on guard.

Many spirits do not admit that they are not humans. They are happy to see humans step into their traps, play tricks on humans, and play with them. Hua Qingyao's question does not mean to directly name the other person.

Just when Ye Chutang thought that the peasant woman was going to take action, she actually smiled and nodded, "I'm not waiting for you specially, but people often get lost here, and I will let them go home with me to rest."

"Oh, eldest sister is so kind-hearted." Hua Qingyao said with praise.

When the peasant woman heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Everyone, we're here." The peasant woman pointed forward, and Hua Qingyao looked in the direction she pointed. There were several wooden houses ahead.

If I saw it right, there was nothing in front of it under the moonlight.

It's still unusually quiet here. It wasn't originally said that there were other "people", so why was there no movement?

"You guys are hungry, I'll prepare food." The peasant woman said with a smile.

"No trouble, we've already eaten." Hua Qingyao smiled and refused, "Just find a place to rest."

The peasant woman didn't even force herself, she nodded and said, "Then go to my house, I have more rooms."

With that said, he took Hua Qingyao and the other two people to the largest room. It's just that the structure of this house is a bit strange, and the style is relatively ancient. The difference is that the rooms here are connected by corridors and are closed.

The wooden houses are connected by corridors to form a huge residential group.

The peasant woman led the three of them to one of the doors, "There are two rooms here, are they enough?"

"That's enough." Hua Qingyao nodded with a smile and walked in.

"Just tell me if you need anything." The peasant woman said enthusiastically, "I'll live in the innermost room," pointing to the end of the corridor.

Hua Qingyao smiled and thanked him. After the peasant woman left, he looked at the room. There were two doors, one was the door they walked in from, and the other was connected to the corridor. When opened, it was pitch black.

The layout of the room was also very simple, with a wooden bed, a table, and a simple wardrobe against the wall. Hua Qingyao stepped forward and opened it. It was empty, and he touched it carefully.

"What did you find?" Ye Chutang came over and asked.

Hua Qingyao withdrew his hand from the corner of the closet, raised his fingertips and looked at it. There was something dark on his nails. Ye Chutang took out a wet wipe and wiped it for him.

"Blood?" Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows. Although it was a question, his tone was affirmative.

"There is a layer of dust in the cabinet, which means it has not been used for a while, and the wooden boards inside are smooth and smooth with no burrs, so it is impossible to accidentally hurt anyone." Hua Qingyao said, thinking about the touch of his defeated general.

In other words, this blood stain was left in the cabinet for some reason. Although it was cleaned, the corner was inevitably inconvenient and not easy to clean.

He also picked it off with his fingernails.

"The table has been wiped." Ye Chutang said. The room was clean and tidy, and it didn't look like anyone was living in it.

Hua Qingyao stood by the window, looking at the mountains at night outside, and asked, "Why build a closed corridor?"

Their information does not show that the villages here have such architectural features.

"Are you afraid of light?" Lin Xi guessed.

"Not all ghosts are afraid of light." Hua Qingyao shook his head.

"Forget it, just wait and see what happens." Hua Qingyao sighed, turned to look at Lin Xi, "Don't go to the next room, stay here, just in case."

Lin Xi nodded, not feeling embarrassed about being a girl. They were both heavenly masters. The key point was that she was not a human being, so there was nothing to argue about.

Hua Qingyao continued to stare out the window. Ye Chutang stepped forward, surrounded him, looked outside for a while, and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking about?"

"I was wondering...where did Xu Wenyao go?" Hua Qingyao was puzzled. "You said he must have arrived here earlier than us, and now there is no movement at all. Isn't it too strange?"

"Is it possible that he left?" Ye Chutang guessed, but then rejected it, "He is looking for something, and he will never leave like this."

"Have you ever felt that there are other biological auras besides that peasant woman?" Hua Qingyao expressed his doubts.

"Yes." Ye Chutang nodded. He also felt it, but it was a little hazy, as if he was isolated by something.

Hua Qingyao stared at the distant mountains and suddenly sighed, "Am I a failure?"

"What?" Ye Chutang was stunned, wondering why Hua Qingyao had such emotion.

"Even ghosts can create their own space." Hua Qingyao said in frustration. Space abilities cannot be created by just any non-living thing. He encountered two of them in a short period of time.

"This is just a not very advanced illusion." Ye Chutang looked out the window and said, "It's not very advanced either." Then he smiled and stroked Hua Qingyao's back.

"Yeah." Hua Qingyao looked up at the dark night sky. There weren't even any stars. It was indeed not high-end.

"Boss." Lin Xi, who was sitting with his eyes closed and resting, suddenly said, "There's something moving."

"What?" Hua Qingyao turned around and saw Lin Xi standing up and putting her ear against the wall.

Hua Qingyao and Ye Chutang looked at each other, walked to the wall, and listened closely. There was indeed a sound.

"Go and have a look." Hua Qingyao said.

The other two people had no objection. The three of them quietly opened the door and walked out lightly along the closed corridor.

Ye Chutang held up a flashlight to illuminate it, and the three of them walked like this. The closed corridor had a depressing feeling.
