Chapter 101: Between the Eight Graves

The more Wu Xian thought about it, the more logical it seemed.

Even the humble appearance of the old man's corpse had a reasonable explanation, because the malevolent entity didn't want to harm people at all. He attached himself to the old man's corpse and followed everyone just because he had to attend the birthday celebration!

But...

What would a birthday celebration that even malevolent entities feared look like?

A trace of gloom appeared in Wu Xian's heart again.

The long night gradually passed.

During this time, Wu Xian was woken up by Du E to keep watch. He sat blankly for an hour, his eyes dry, and nothing happened.

Whether they were Lotus Juanren or newcomers, everyone was very well-behaved.

The Willow Mansion was gone!

"Choosing the wrong order to enter the grave mounds carries a fatal risk?"

Newcomers like Guan Daorong and Qi Peiye, because they lacked the information on the credentials, still didn't understand the situation. After Hu Yunkuan explained the words on the credentials to them, they suddenly realized.

Their group of twenty-one people had stayed in this graveyard for a whole night yesterday!

Waking up today, they discovered they were in a graveyard, which was why they were screaming non-stop.

The place they were in was a circular clearing with a diameter of about fifteen meters. The clearing was full of black ash marks, occasionally drifted over by one or two pieces of paper money burned with missing corners.

Then Wu Xian began to ponder again.

The tense and difficult night passed, and the warm sun gradually rose.

"Wild mountains and fields, isolated graves in a dead zone, a journey of no return, a fatal choice... The door to leave the Fudi is in the eighth room experienced."

The situation before his eyes was completely different from what he had thought!

"One, two, three... eight!"

No wonder he could always smell abnormal incense and burnt smells in the Willow Mansion last night. It turned out that the incense was burned for the dead, and the burnt smell came from the paper money burned into ash!

Having many people is the bad thing about this; once a sudden change occurs, it is very difficult to calm down quickly and deal with things.

No one made noise this night, and no one insisted on going out to use the restroom.

Fortunately, some ladies had toilet paper in their bags, otherwise, the situation would have been even more embarrassing.

She felt she had wandered in the graveyard for several days.

Soon, under Hu Yunkuan's organization, everyone had a brief discussion about what to do next, but this time everyone did not reach a consensus.

No wonder so many monsters and ghosts surrounded them as soon as they landed last night; it turned out that this was simply a mass grave!

Facts proved that as long as it was dangerous enough, many of people's habits could be compromised.

A flash of light also appeared in Wu Xian's eyes. He ran behind a grave mound and saw a tombstone as tall as a person at a glance, with two large characters written on it.

Wu Xian, who was in light sleep, was startled awake, jumped up from the ground, and then widened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes.

"Ah... ah..."

At this time, the sun was still on the east side of the sky; clearly, the time she wandered in the graveyard was not long, and even her family didn't notice she was missing.

Wu Xian opened the Lotus Juanren credentials again.

Wei Dian laughed and walked toward a large grave mound.

……

He didn't expect that it was this shout that saved He Dama's life...

At that time, He Dama didn't feel anything, but the more she thought about it, the more hair-raising it felt, so much so that it became her psychological shadow, and every time she saw a graveyard, she would detour far away.

Among them, only the door of the temple was open. The doors of the peddler and the traveling physician were locked, and the other five doors, although not locked, were tightly closed and could not be opened at all.

Such a large Willow Mansion, gone!

Even ladies like Du E only used the screen for cover to relieve themselves in the room. Although this was a bit dirty and had some smell, there was no other way.

Temple!

This rare tranquility was broken by He Dama's gong-like voice!

"Then... what about the fatal choice?"

Not until hearing a shout did she suddenly wake up and walk out of the graveyard.

What was the meaning of these grave mounds, and what was their relationship with the Willow Mansion mansion they saw last night?

"Guest room, banquet hall, mourning hall... perhaps the story is like this: The Willow family's Great Grandmother wanted to celebrate her birthday and invited 'us' to stay in the guest room, but something happened at the birthday banquet, causing the birthday celebration to turn into a funeral."

This person was an old cowherd from the same village. When he was passing by this graveyard while herding cows, he found young He Dama circling the grave head, felt it was very strange, and shouted.

"A journey of no return refers to the experience on the bus."

Around the clearing, there were a few slightly larger grave mounds with relatively neat shapes. Outside these large grave mounds, there was no dense jungle seen last night, only dense, messy small grave mounds, as well as stone tombstones and wooden spirit tablets in front of the small grave mounds!

Wu Xian's face was as gloomy as water.

"It matches, it all matches!"

Wu Xian looked at the messy crowd and frowned.

Not until this moment.

Last night, Wu Xian had already estimated what would happen today.

Wu Xian looked at the other grave mounds one by one. There was a door in front of the tombstone of each grave mound, and the names of each grave mound were different. The eight grave mounds were:

Banquet hall, mourning hall, guest room, clothing shop, study, peddler, temple, traveling physician!

"These eight grave mounds are the eight rooms. As long as one enters these grave mounds one by one and survives from them, one can find the door to leave this Fudi in the eighth room."

In addition, he also discovered that the malevolent entity that possessed Old Man Wang last night had also disappeared, and he didn't know where it was hiding.

Walking, walking, no matter which direction one walked, one would eventually return to the center of the graveyard. The sky was dim, the tree shadows were swaying, everything was dreamy and illusory, as if trapped in some kind of dream, and vaguely, someone seemed to be waving at him.

Other Lotus Juanren also roughly understood the situation and confirmed that these eight graves were the key to leaving the Fudi.

The crowd was divided into four waves.

He Dama was still pale, not having escaped from the horror.

But Wu Xian never expected.

In the process of Wu Xian's thinking.

"Wild land, isolated graves, these two sentences refer to the current environment. This mass grave should be the so-called isolated graves in a dead zone, but there should only be one isolated grave..."

It was nothing more than Willow family characters like the young master, the old master, and the young lady appearing in turns. These people each had secrets and might even invite them to participate in some activities. After understanding the complex situation of the Willow Mansion, Steward Hu would take them to attend a very dangerous birthday celebration...

It was no wonder He Dama's reaction was so extreme.

Others also woke up, and seeing this scene, they all felt terrified and uneasy, especially He Dama who was still screaming. That shrill and ear-piercing sound made them feel even more panicked and uneasy.

Between the tombstone and the grave mound, there was also an open door. Behind the door was a downward staircase. Looking inside, one could only see faint lamp light, but couldn't see what was inside.

"Haha, I understand."

Later, her family brought gifts to thank the person who shouted and found out.

When she was young, in order to take a shortcut, she had passed through a graveyard, but for some reason, she couldn't walk away.

Two of the groups left the circular clearing surrounded by the eight graves.

The other two groups remained in the clearing.
