Chapter 384: Ghost Talk
After being cursed.

When Wu Xian looked at the dark cave entrances around him again, he felt that each of them exuded a biting coldness.

He couldn't possibly stay here for seven days.

He needs to find food and props for worshiping gods to increase his strength.

Therefore, Wu Xian had to go out to explore, but once he went out to explore, he would be away from the safe light, and the pressure brought by the ubiquitous darkness would be too strong.

Wu Xian looked at the palace lantern.

"At least this light is bright enough, and at least there is a safe zone."

Wu Xian's words had just fallen.

call!
The light of the palace lantern dimmed instantly, from a warm yellow light that was enough to illuminate the entire cave, to a dim candlelight that could only illuminate a small area.

Wu Xianhan came out and hurried to the palace lanterns.

Huang Debiao and his wife, as well as the crazy woman, also hurried to the place where there was light.

Xia Caoqing looked up and said, "The candle in the lantern seems to be burning out. Where is the candle?"

Huang Debiao walked towards the small temple.

"Maybe there are candles here..."

He had long been curious about this temple, but out of fear, he had never dared to approach it. However, this place was about to fall into darkness, and only this temple could be explored.

Wu Xianze looked at the flammable materials around him.

As long as there is fire, there is light. Even without candles, it can last for a while by burning.

Suddenly a look of joy appeared on his face. There was some dry firewood next to the crazy woman. With that firewood, they could at least hold on for a while.

But right away.

Wu Xian thought of more.

If the candle had been lit all the time before, there would be no need for the crazy woman to collect dry firewood, unless... this lantern was flickering!
Just when Wu Xian wanted to ask the crazy woman for some firewood.

Huang Debiao, who had gone to explore the temple, came back. His movements were stiff, his hands and feet were shaky, and his face was covered in sweat. It was obvious that he was very scared.

Wu Xian asked curiously, "What's in there?"

Huang Debiao shook his head quickly: "I, I didn't see clearly. When I was about to lift the curtain, I suddenly felt very scared, as if something terrible would happen once I lifted the curtain, so I didn't dare to go in and came back."

After saying that, he pulled Xia Caoqing and his attitude was no longer tough.

"What should I do, wife? There seems to be a ghost here. Can the search and rescue team really find us? Can we really get out of here alive?"

The man who had a hot temper just now became extremely fragile.

Based on Wu Xian's experience in the blessed land, the things in the temple were definitely extraordinary. He originally thought that there would be an opportunity to worship the gods there, but now it seems that it might be the source of the disaster.

Wu Xian sighed and said, "Since we can't find the candle, let's light a fire. We should at least light the fire before the candle goes out. I don't think any of you want to fall into the pitch-black darkness."

"No fire, no fire!"

The crazy woman suddenly yelled at Wu Xian.

"The palace lanterns can only stay lit for an hour at most!"

"As long as we tell a story that satisfies the statue within this hour, the lantern will stay lit for another eight hours!"

Wu Xian looked at the crazy woman in surprise. She really knew a lot.

From her appearance, it can be seen that she has lived in the cave for a long time. The fact that she is still alive is enough to show that she is experienced.

As for her strange madness, it is very likely that she was driven insane by the curse of 'Fear of Darkness'.

"story?"

Xia Caoqing's face lit up. "I'm a writer and have many stories to tell. What stories does this statue like to hear?"

The crazy woman stopped moving and grinned. Several teeth had fallen out of her mouth, exposing her red gums.

"Of course it's a horror story!"

Horror story…

Huang Debiao and Xia Caoqing fell silent at the same time and felt their bodies go cold. Anyone who has watched a horror movie knows that in such an environment, telling ghost stories is a complete act of seeking death.

And who can prove that what this crazy woman said is true?

Having said that, telling stories to a statue is a very strange thing in itself.

Xia Caoqing waved his hand reluctantly: "I, I am a romance novel writer, I can't tell ghost stories."

Wu Xian was not surprised at all. This was a very normal development in the blessed land.

The crazy woman urged anxiously, "Hurry up, I have no more stories to tell. This statue only listens to stories from personal experience. False stories heard from movies or novels are useless."

Huang Debiao, who had been very tough just now, was already trembling.

Wu Xian also looked embarrassed.

According to this requirement, Wu Xian is the most suitable person to tell the story.

Because he has countless horror stories to tell, he could sit here and talk all day and all night long.

But is that really a good thing?
The certificate of ordination said "strange words and expressions induce ghosts to revive", so the strange words and expressions might be here, so he didn't want to tell the story first. It would be best to wait until the mechanism of the story is determined before deciding whether to start.

Seeing that the three of them were all hesitant, the crazy woman scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously.

"Hurry up and tell me, tell me quickly! Once this lantern goes out, something terrible will appear in the darkness, and then all four of us will die!"

"Don't try to hide it, don't feel embarrassed to talk about it. Everyone who comes here has a story!"

The crazy woman's urging made Huang Debiao and Xia Caoqing feel strange, and they were even more unwilling to tell the story.

Time passed little by little, and the crazy woman stamped her feet anxiously, her eyes constantly looking at her pile of dry firewood. It seemed that she was planning to light a fire before the light went out.

suddenly.

A terrifying roar came from the darkness.

The voice was like that of a human but not a human, like that of an animal but not an animal, and it made everyone tremble in their hearts.

Wu Xian raised his eyebrows. This was the sound of the thing that was chasing him before. It seemed that it noticed that the light here was getting dim, so it wanted to launch an attack.

But Wu Xian was also eager to try it out. While there was still light, he wanted to see the true appearance of the thing.

After all, only by killing the evil spirits can you get the chance to worship the gods. Simply escaping will only make the journey to the blessed land more and more difficult, so this is a rare opportunity.

The crazy woman was even more frightened. She squatted on the ground with her hands covering her head, crying and saying some incomprehensible words.

Xia Caoqing bit her lip. She knew she couldn't hesitate any longer, so she walked to the big-eared statue holding a lantern.

"I guess all I have to do is tell a story and the lanterns will light up."

The crazy woman looked up with joy: "That's it, tell me quickly, the light will get dimmer and dimmer, once the light goes out it will be too late."

Xia Caoqing sat in front of the statue, was silent for a while, and finally spoke after thinking about what to say.

"My story starts half a month ago."

"At that time, I had already made an engagement with Debi, but I thought that once I got married, I would lose my hobby and would no longer have the opportunity to hike."

“So I found some friends and we made an appointment to go hiking together.”
