After the five camouflage balls were used, the five members of the White Phoenix team, including Cecilia, became haunted by ghosts, and their figures became much hazy. ┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛

Even teammates, looking at each other, can't see faces clearly, only hazy figures can be seen. When walking, under the shadow of the ghost, the movements of the legs and feet could not be seen clearly, just like ghosts floating around.

"Go in." Bai Xiaowen said, "The degree of danger in Huaiwang Village may be much higher than that in the outer areas. After entering, everyone walk together and don't get separated."

The teammates nodded at the same time, and the five filed into the dense fog area.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaowen's conjecture was correct. When he was disguised as a ghost-like spirit body, the ghost aura in the dense fog area would no longer cause loss of health or mental power.

While walking, Li Shuyi suddenly said: "Do you have a feeling of weightlessness? It's like your body is getting lighter and lighter as you walk."

Li Shuyi is an expert in melee combat, and she is very sensitive to slight changes in her body.

"It seems to be true." Cecilia also confirmed this.

"Go on, no matter what abnormalities you encounter, don't look back." Bai Xiaowen said.

The five continued to move forward, and the feeling of their bodies becoming lighter became more and more obvious, and Han Xu could clearly feel it at the back.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the outline of the village appeared vaguely in front of him, but under the cover of the thick fog, there seemed to be a dim light curtain that enveloped the entire village.

On this dim light curtain, some abstract human face images flashed from time to time, which looked very strange. It seems that the light curtain does not protect the village, but a cage of confinement.

Bai Xiaowen raised his hand to call out a summoned creature, which touched the light curtain. In an instant, the summoned creature disappeared, but Bai Xiaowen could still feel the connection with him.

"Safety, this layer of light curtain should allow entry and no exit... Of course, after entering, as long as you can find the space stone and solve the mystery inside, you can come out." Bai Xiaowen said.

All four nodded. Although Huaiwang Village was full of weirdness, no one was willing to back down at this point.

For safety's sake, Bai Xiaowen sent a skeleton knife and shield hand in again. The two summoned creatures stared wide-eyed within the light curtain.

"Ok,

This layer of blocking light curtain has no effect of spatial dislocation. In other words, the five of us don't have to disperse again. "

It has to be said that this is good news. If the five of them are together, the ability to deal with danger will be greatly improved, and there is no need to worry about ghosts such as changing ghosts coming to make trouble again.

After stepping into the blocking light curtain together, the five members of the Baihuang team let out surprise sounds at the same time.

The sense of weightlessness in the body disappeared, and the thick fog of ghostly air lingering in front of his eyes also faded a lot. As far as the vision of the awakened is concerned, at least the line of sight is no longer obstructed.

This is the entrance of the village. You can see a road in front of you. On the left side of the road is a stretch of houses, and on the right side is a deserted farmland.

On the left are rows of earthen thatched huts, the line of sight is blocked and cannot be seen clearly. However, the farmland on the right is relatively open, and occasionally you can see a blossoming phosphorous fire in the mist, and there seem to be shadows floating around one by one.

"Did you hear anything?" Qiao Rui said suddenly.

In the depths of the village, there seems to be the sound of gongs and drums, but this sound is very strange, intermittent and extremely low, like the background music of a horror movie...

Bai Xiaowen said: "It seems that the ghost bride we are looking for is deep in the village, where a wedding is being held."

"A wedding held by a ghost?" Li Shuyi shrank her neck.

"Ghost marriage, this custom is very common in ancient China," Bai Xiaowen led the team forward while doing science popularization for his teammates, "Ghost marriage is also called ghost marriage and ghost marriage. It’s a kind of ritual that doesn’t make you feel lonely, usually a ghost matchmaker talks about marriage, then makes a dark garment, holds a marriage ceremony, and then both men and women are buried together.”

"The houses in the village always make people feel very depressing. Do you think these rows of houses look like mausoleums?" Qiao Rui said suddenly. She walked to the door of a house and pointed to a piece erected in front of the door. Sign: "It says No. 3, Group 7, Liujiatunzi...it should be the house number, but I think it looks like a tombstone."

"Liujia Village? Isn't it called Huaiwang Village?" Li Shuyi said.

"It may be the name of the village before the accident happened."

Bai Xiaowen walked over, took a closer look at the tombstone-like house number, squinted his eyes and said: "This line of words gave me an additional piece of information, the era background of the Liujia Village... I am afraid it is modern, and the simplified characters are used instead Not traditional characters."

Historically, China's reform of simplified Chinese characters began in the mid-1950s. It should be at least another ten or twenty years before the house numbers of every household use simplified characters.

Considering that the era of spiritual energy begins in 2021, and referring to the economic backwardness reflected by the dilapidated earthen walls and thatched cottage buildings in Huaiwang Village, the background of the era here is likely to be between the 1970s and 1990s. between. Of course, some extremely remote villages are still impoverished after the 21st century, but the probability is relatively small.

Bai Xiaowen and his party walked towards the village in the direction of the gongs and drums.

Suddenly, two shadows "floated" over from the opposite side of the road.

"Is it a ghost?" In the team channel, Li Shuyi was gearing up a bit, "Do you want to kill them?"

"Don't worry." Bai Xiaowen said.

The five of them brushed past those two shadows. The two shadows that were suspected to be ghosts did not show any tendency to attack, but kept staring at the five people as they passed by. This behavior was exactly the same as that of villagers in remote areas seeing strange outsiders.

"We are disguised as ghosts and spirits. Those two ghosts should treat us as their kind."

Bai Xiaowen said: "When we come here, our main goal is to find the ghost bride, mainly to find clues and solve puzzles. If it is not necessary, try not to fight."

When passing by the door of a house, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the dirt wall, and a few pages of paper flew over in curls.

Bai Xiaowen picked up the page, which was covered with handwriting.

"On February 7, the weather was fine."

"My childhood memories have faded, and I can only restore a little outline of that crazy era."

"Since our family was transferred to this place called Liujiatunzi, it seems to be isolated from the world."

"My mother's eye circles were always red. I asked her where my father was, but she didn't tell me. I found out later that my father was dead, and died under the torture and insult of his students."

"My mother's leg is broken. My second sister and I are still young. My brother earns work points all by himself. We can only eat two meals a day. The corn mush is so thin that you can see people. I'm so hungry..."
