In the pitch-black woods, it was extremely difficult for everyone to run with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

The place where the vines and branches scratched was burning, and there was a muffled hum from time to time, but even so, no one dared to slow down.

Chen Ran was very fast, and Li Zhuofeng gritted his teeth and ran with the fastest speed, but he still couldn't close the distance between them.

Li Zhuofeng was gritting his teeth and speeding up when he heard a scream from behind.

In the confusion, he looked back. Someone was caught by the female ghost. He fell to the ground and curled up into a ball. The position of his feet became bald, and only the poles of his feet were left crazily bleeding out.

Li Zhuofeng was not the only one who noticed this, Zhang Ye also saw it, but with just one glance, Zhang Ye accelerated.

Even if he can't outrun the female ghost in red, as long as he outruns the others, he can live a little longer, and maybe he can take the opportunity to get rid of the female ghost.

When Li Zhuofeng looked away, he was already at the end.

Li Zhuofeng gritted his teeth, ignored the man's screams and continued to run forward.

Grabbing a person, the female ghost in red stopped. The red dress on her body danced without wind, and turned into a bloodthirsty red flower that killed people in the darkness.

She bent down, her bloodshot, bulging eyes and festered pale face were exposed from under her black hair.

She looked at the man in front of her at close range, her fingers lightly brushed across his face covered with tears, blood and sweat.

As if she was satisfied, her long black hair began to surge like a tide, piercing the limbs of the man who was struggling to crawl on the ground like steel needles, and then dragged him to "stand" up.

The ankle wound where the sole of his foot had been cut off rubbed against the ground, the man twitched in pain, but he couldn't care about it now, his heart was tightly squeezed by the great fear, and he twisted his body like crazy Trying to struggle, "Let go of me, don't—"

The shrill cry made the female ghost in red laugh with satisfaction, and her bloodshot eyes were full of resentment and hatred.

Her hair frantically rushed into his body along the wound, sucking and devouring the resentment, panic and despair that oozed out of the man's last moment of life like a starvation.

The screaming stopped.

Li Zhuofeng resisted the numbness of his scalp and looked back, the red that should have been thrown away chased after him again.

He kept accelerating like crazy, kept running, he didn't want to die.

The sound of wind and heartbeat was deafening, and Li Zhuofeng's throat and lungs hurt so much that Li Zhuofeng wished he could die, but everything couldn't resist the strong desire to live in his heart.

After an unknown amount of time, the figure of Chen Ran who was running far ahead slowly zoomed in. At that moment, Li Zhuofeng was ecstatic.

He ran along for a while, until he was parallel to Chen Ran, and he realized that it wasn't that he was running faster and faster, but that Chen Ran slowed down.

Chen Ran glanced at him and slowed down slowly.

Seeing this, Li Zhuofeng instinctively slowed down, and he didn't have the strength to run anymore.

After a few minutes, Chen Ran stopped.

Li Zhuofeng then stopped, he supported the tree trunk and began to pant wildly.

The tension beyond the limit is followed by an uncontrollable softness. For a moment, Li Zhuofeng couldn't even move, his limbs seemed to be filled with lead.

Chen Ran was also out of breath, but he recovered quickly.

When Li Zhuofeng raised his head again, Chen Ran had already checked his surroundings, "He didn't chase us, he probably went after them."

Li Zhuofeng froze for a moment, then quickly looked around, he, Chen Ran, Zhang Ye, Su Feng, Xuan Lao and Guo Dong, there were only six people here, Tu Dan, Wu Lin, Wu Lin, Xuan Lao San and a villager nowhere to be seen.

"They didn't keep up?" Li Zhuofeng didn't even notice what happened, he just cared about running away.

"...It seems that I accidentally ran away." The answer was Elder Xuan who was still panting.

Probably because of the frequent trips to the fields, Elder Xuan is over 50, yet he still kept up.

"It's hard to say if I was not careful..." Zhang Ye pointed.

"What do you want to say? You can't understand why you didn't run slower to save someone just now?" Li Zhuofeng was impatient, and Zhang Ye kept returning.

Li Zhuofeng can't say that he likes Chen Ran, but the situation just now is not under Chen Ran's control at all.

What's more, after entering the dungeon, no one has the obligation to save anyone. If they themselves are like a bodhisattva crossing the river, how can they control others?

If Zhang Ye really couldn't get used to it, why didn't he sacrifice his life to stop the female ghost just now, and buy some time for them?

Being bullied, Zhang Ye glared at Li Zhuofeng fiercely.He ignored Li Zhuofeng, and his eyes greedily fell on the knife in Chen Ran's hand, which could indeed cause harm to those ghosts.

"What is that?" Chen Ran's voice came, and he ignored Zhang Ye.

Li Zhuofeng followed his voice, and it was at this time that he realized that there was a village not far from the open space where they stopped to rest!

Li Zhuofeng took two steps forward, "Did we run out?"

Chen Ran frowned, apparently not thinking so.

Li Zhuofeng's heart that was jumping with joy instantly fell to the bottom, he restrained his excitement and looked again, this time he was calm enough, so he quickly saw the abnormality.

That place does look like a village, but it's not, the fire is all concentrated in one place, and it looks like a single building.

How could there be a single building in this ghostly forest?

What makes people even more uncomfortable is that the light is not the usual warm yellow, but festive bright red.The red, together with the faintly visible red cloth and the quaint buildings, are weird and gloomy.

Li Zhuofeng's Adam's apple slipped, "That's..."

"Go and have a look."

"In the past? That place—" Zhang Ye became anxious immediately, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

This time it was Elder Xuan who interrupted him.

"It's the ancestral hall!" Elder Xuan was surprised and delighted, but hesitation was mixed in the surprise.

"Ancestral hall?" Chen Ran looked over.

"It's the place where people are buried in the village..." Elder Xuan hesitated, not telling the truth at first sight.

Chen Ran walked over there.

Guodong, who was carried on his shoulders, swayed with his hanging hands, and the limbs and feet of the rabbit in his arms also swayed.

Did Chen Ran forget that there was someone on his shoulder?

Guo Dong was thinking about whether to remind him, and Chen Ran started to walk around.

"That place is just a cemetery, there's nothing to see..." Elder Xuan tried to stop him.

Chen Ran ignored it, and Li Zhuofeng chose to follow after hesitating for a moment.

Seeing the two people approaching, Elder Xuan wanted to say something, but after looking at the dark woods around him, he still followed them bravely.

Su Feng regained his strength and followed, Zhang Ye walked last.

Two or three minutes later, a group of people walked out of the woods and came to a clearing.

This place is indeed a cemetery as Elder Xuan said, but it is different from what Elder Xuan said, this is not only a cemetery, but also an ancient wedding scene.

On the right side of the cemetery, there is a small three-story quaint building, which is an ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall is different from other ancestral halls. This ancestral hall is not used to place sacrificial tablets, but to hold weddings.

There are bright red cloths everywhere, happy balls are hung high, festive window couplets are pasted on the pillars of the windows, and red candles are arranged inside the house, which is full of festive atmosphere.

Go out along the wide open front door. On both sides of the broad road are shelves covered with red cloth. Under the shelves are papered guests, joy bands, bearers...

This series of arrangements has obviously been around for some years and has been used many times, and many things are very old, such as the paper figurines and those red cloths.

The paper on the faces of many paper figurines has been smashed by the rain, and there are pitch-black holes on their bodies.The red cloth rotted and rotted into strips.

"This is..." Su Feng's face was extremely complicated. How could a normal person come to the cemetery to get married?

"It should be used to hold ghost marriages." Chen Ran said.

As early as when they knew that the shoes were possessed by spirits, everyone had already guessed that it must be related to marriage, and also guessed that it might be a ghost marriage, but when they really saw this scene, everyone still couldn't help being horrified.

"Is it possible that the shoes are here?" Li Zhuofeng asked.

"Look for it." Chen Ran put down Guodong from his shoulder.

Adjusting himself to a comfortable posture, Guodong, who was lying down well, was suddenly stood up, and his mind immediately became dizzy. The moment he landed, there were twinkling little stars in front of his eyes.

Seeing that Guodong was about to bump into Li Zhuofeng's arms, Chen Ran hurriedly carried him back, and he didn't let go until Guodong recovered.

"Are you an idiot?" Mr. Crab said fiercely and impatiently.

Guodong rubbed the bridge of his nose, obviously Chen Ran carried him on his shoulders and caused his brain to suffer from insufficient blood supply.

Guodong found a place nearby to sit down and took his time.

"Which one should we look for first?" Li Zhuofeng glanced at the ancestral hall with lights on, and then at Elder Xuan.

Xuan Lao knew about this a long time ago, but he never told them, and he didn't even want them to come over.

"Inside." Chen Ran was about to walk into the ancestral hall, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Guo Dong sitting down, "What are you doing?"

The rest of the people heard the words and looked over one after another, seeing Guodong's current appearance clearly, everyone couldn't help breathing heavily.

Guodong hugged his baby, and was sitting on a faded red coffin with a cute face, his feet were still dangling.

Guodong raised his eyes, his face was blank, "What's wrong?"

"Come down." Chen Ran frowned and stretched out his hand.

Guodong looked at the coffin, then at Chen Ran's hand, and stretched out his hand to Chen Ran, asking Chen Ran to pull him up.

"Why is there a coffin here?" Zhang Ye looked at Elder Xuan.

It was also at this time that they discovered that there were many coffins in the cemetery, especially in the corner near the ancestral hall, where there were several open or closed coffins.

Those coffins are obviously old, whether it is the style of workmanship or the signs of decay on the surface, at least one or two hundred years.

How could such a coffin be dug out and placed on the ground?

Chen Ran looked around, and found a sharp broken log by the side of the road where the red cloth was hung, and prepared to open the coffin.

Elder Xuan immediately became anxious, "It can't be opened, this must never be opened!"

Zhang Ye pushed him away, "Go away!"

Knowing that the shoes might be found, Zhang Ye became excited.

After all, Mr. Xuan was old, and Zhang Ye pushed him back a few steps.

Chen Ran ignored the two of them, walked around the coffin, and was ready to do it when he found a place.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Elder Xuan slapped his knee and hurriedly said: "There is evil spirit in here, you can't open it, it's over if you open it!"

Everyone looked at him.

Elder Xuan couldn't care less about other things at the moment, "These are all daughters-in-law married by the villagers before. Later, the village found better ones, so they were replaced. They had to be exposed to the sun to get rid of the yin energy before they could be dealt with. , you can’t just open it like this.”

Chen Ran withdrew his gaze, and the broken wood in his hand was directly inserted into the crack on the side of the coffin.

"Ah, you—" Before Elder Xuan could finish his terrified words, Chen Ran had already lifted the coffin lid with all his might.

After a stabbing sound, a strange smell spread in the air. The smell seemed to come from the box after it had been dusty for a long time, but it was different, and there was a strong smell of blood in it.

Kicking off the coffin lid, Chen Ran looked into the coffin.

The moment they saw the situation clearly, everyone's hearts couldn't help but twitched.

Inside the coffin was a completely dead mummy. She was wearing a scarlet wedding gown, and she was curled up with her hands raised into claws. It seemed that she was still scratching the coffin before she died, trying to get out. The claw marks on the coffin The bloodstains also proved this.

But this is not the most creepy thing, the most frightening thing is that the mummy's mouth was sewn shut, and both feet were pierced from the center of the foot to the instep by big iron nails thick as thumbs.

The purpose of sealing the mouth in the dark marriage is to prevent the woman who was buried alive from complaining to the ghost messenger of King Yama.The nail is to make it impossible for them to go back and seek revenge on them.Exposing them to the sun after digging them out is to make them disappear and prevent future troubles.

Li Zhuofeng couldn't bear to look any longer, so he looked away.

As soon as he turned around, he found that Guodong had already sat down on another coffin next to him.

"You..." Li Zhuofeng held his forehead, sometimes he really didn't know whether Guodong was courageous or not.

Even Chen Ran was obviously a little nervous in this situation, but Guo Dong sat on the coffin carelessly, his feet still dangling.

The rest also looked over.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Guodong looked down at the coffin under his buttocks in puzzlement, feeling the choking resentment and despair under the coffin, Guodong became more and more at a loss.
