There is an extremely weird legend in the Purple Bamboo Forest, that is, whenever someone shouts nearby, it disturbs the peace of the Purple Bamboo Forest.

A large cloud of white mist will immediately roll out of the purple bamboo forest, and like the dust mist produced by the galloping horses, it will not dissipate for a long time.

Zhong Kuiren stood at the edge of the purple bamboo forest, holding the scabbard in his hand, and stepped into the purple bamboo forest with steady steps.

Just when Zhong Kui stepped into the purple bamboo forest, an exclamation came from behind him.

Zhong Kui had already stepped into the Purple Bamboo Forest and did not hear the exclamations behind him at all. This is because this Purple Bamboo Forest is weird, as long as it makes the slightest sound, it will appear abnormal.

Not only did there appear fog, but there was also a low sound like the roar of the Yellow River. This was the reason why Zhong Kui didn't hear the exclamation behind him.

And who was shouting outside the Zizhu Forest: "Brother Zhongkui, don't go in."

Zhong Kui didn't hear it and ignored it. Since he was a child, he had heard from his father that this purple bamboo forest had another scary name, "Heizhugou".

‘Heizhugou’ is truly terrifying in name. It is so black that you can see endless trees and various types of arrow bamboos.

After Zhong Kui stepped in, he suddenly felt cold all over. There was an inexplicable cold wind blowing from all directions. He tightened his clothes and continued to move forward without fear. The bamboo forest disturbed the tranquility because of his arrival. He didn't know where to start.

A faint white mist appeared somewhere.

The mist was getting thicker, and Zhong Kui walked straight forward, not daring to make a sound. He was afraid that the disturbance would be greater and the mist would become thicker. He knew that in a place like this, it doesn't matter if you have a unique sight.

Can it still penetrate the fog?

Zhong Kui didn't know that there was a miasma toxin in the mist, but he also didn't know that he had been exposed to the harsh environment in the tomb and had developed immunity against the miasma. Although he was not immune to all poisons, ordinary miasma could not attack him.

cause great harm.

Zhong Kui has a dictionary in his heart that he can never forget. The dictionary records many unknown secrets that Zhong Mingfa taught him.

Zhong Kui in the mist looks like he is walking in a dream. The mist also has vitality. Wherever he goes, the mist will follow him around, pass over his head, try to wrap him tightly, and slowly

Swallowed slowly.

Seeing that Zhong Kui failed to break through the encirclement of the mist every time, after entering the forest circle and breaking out of the encirclement of the mist countless times, a house appeared in front of him.

When Zhong Kui took a closer look, he saw that it was not just one house, but many houses made of bamboo. The houses may have been uninhabited for a long time, and they seemed to be dilapidated. They stood swaying and crumbling in the wind. Monet's eyes opened,

There are dark doorways.

The uninhabited bamboo structure houses and the gaping black holes are like tempting deep sinks, which all make people stop in despair.

Looking at all this, Zhong Kui understood one thing. That is, none of the people who escaped from Menling Village into the Zizhu Forest survived. Maybe they died of fatigue and fear. Maybe they died in their sleep, or more likely they died.

Expect.

When they got here, a gust of dark wind blew in. Zhong Kui suddenly saw a few ghosts floating in the mist. They could only look at him from a distance and did not dare to come near.

In order to confirm his previous thoughts, Zhong Kui stepped into the bamboo house without hesitation.

When entering the bamboo house, a gloomy coldness hit me, and there was no wind. The cold wind even drifted around in waves, making the facial muscles twitch.

By the way, if it were someone other than Zhong Kui who entered the Purple Bamboo Forest now, he would probably be scared to death and would not dare to continue going.

As Zhong Kui speculated, there were indeed human remains on the bamboo couch in the bamboo house. The dried human remains were still covered with a bed of torn cotton wool, and the empty eye sockets seemed to be looking forward to the arrival of the early morning.

Zhong Kui took out the cloth bag tucked around his waist and whispered to the skeleton: "Let me go!" As he spoke, he moved the cloth bag, and a shadow invisible to the naked eye "swish" when he said these words.

Got into the bag.

It can be said that Zhong Kui is self-taught, and he doesn't know what he is doing. Why he is doing this, it is as if there is another person lurking in his body, guiding him secretly.

It seemed that not many people had escaped from Menling Village. Zhong Kui walked away from several bamboo houses one after another. The cloth bags contained their souls who could never be at peace in their lives, but could not escape from the purple bamboo forest.

The miasma of the Purple Bamboo Forest is like a devil, completely killing all the creatures that enter, and then controlling their souls, preventing them from reincarnation forever.

If that's the case, aren't those children in danger? Zhong Kui became more and more anxious thinking about this.

Thinking about it, after entering the purple bamboo forest, he selectively stepped into other bamboo houses. When he saw the first bamboo house, he didn't have time to go in and take a look.

Thinking of this, Zhong Kui hurriedly turned back.

Zhong Kui prayed 10,000 times in his heart, hoping that the children would be okay. Hope is hope. The more you want to think about something on the brighter side, it will backfire and give you an unexpected blow.

Zhong Kui also said that he didn't know. He should have understood when he stepped into the purple bamboo forest. If the children were here, why didn't they show up? Why was it so quiet in the purple bamboo forest?

Zhong Kui was uneasy and walked into the first bamboo house, which was twice the size of other houses.

In the bamboo house, there was a pile of messy clothes in the corner. In the center of the house was a dining table made of bamboo, with several little heads lying on the dining table.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Zhong Kui suddenly felt as if a heavy weight had been hung on his leg, unable to take another step forward.

Zhong Kui counted the little heads on the dinner table carefully, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Seven little heads, aren't they the same number as the children who just escaped from Menling Village? Zhong Kui felt his throat was dry, and a heart palpitation made him squat down.

Zhong Kui understood the second thing. He was rescued by these poor little devils. As for how they got out of the Zizhu Forest, it might have something to do with the girl named Xiaoqing.

It was only because Zhong Kui was weak and couldn't tell whether the children were human beings or 'ghosts' that he wanted to send them out.

Looking at the rotten bones of the children, the bones cannot be touched, they will be destroyed if touched. Zhong Kui's nose felt sore, and the saying that a man should not shed tears easily had no effect on him here.

Just when Zhong Kui was grieving, he glanced at a square hole on the ground in the corner where the tattered clothes were piled.

Where does the cave entrance lead to? Zhong Kui became curious about the cave entrance.

The probe looked towards the entrance of the cave, and a cold wind blew out from the entrance.

The idea of ​​going down and taking a look came to Zhong Kui's mind, and he did what he said.

Zhong Kui discovered a few more secrets after entering the cave. As for what secrets they were, we will explain later. Let's see that Zhiqing and Wengen have been waiting under the old locust tree.
