Chapter 229: When the Sun Sets, It Was the Time of the Demons

If the offering has a good, it can change a family’s feng shui, and it can even bring good fortune and good luck. On the other hand, if the offering is bad, there will be disasters and misfortunes, and at worst, the family will be destroyed. There will also be life-threatening dangers.
“Hurry up and throw this statue away. It looks really creepy.”
“The villagers in the countryside are so ignorant and fearless. They dare to offer anything.”
After confirming that the fox statue did not have any other aura or abnormalities other than its strange appearance, Gu Xi casually put it aside and walked out with everyone.
No one saw that after they left, the eyes of the fox statue moved. A faint red light flashed, and it looked as if it had come alive.
At the same time, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew bigger and bigger. It was so big that it almost reached the back of his ear, making people’s hair stand on end.
“I didn’t find anything, but I found the worshipers here very strange. They actually worshiped the fox.”
After everyone gathered and conversed, they found nothing. However, they found that apart from the fox statue that Gu Xi had just discovered, there were also other houses.
“Eldest Senior Brother, when you passed by this place before, did you find that the villagers here worship the fox?”
Li Junyan pondered for a moment and shook his head, “I didn’t notice that. Forget it, I can’t find any clues here. Why don’t we go ahead and take a look?”
Just as everyone left, they found that there was one person missing.
...
“It seems that Senior Brother Zhou is missing.”
“Could something have happened?”
Although Zhou Haozhe was not popular, he was still a disciple of Moyu Tower. It was impossible for him to leave him here. When the time came, it would be hard to explain. As everyone searched around, they finally found him, they finally found him in a corner of an abandoned house.
However, at this moment, his face was covered in blood, and he looked like he was injured.

“Senior Brother Zhou, wake up.”
Hearing the cries of the crowd, he slowly opened his eyes.
Li Junyan was, after all, the Eldest Senior Brother, so it was his responsibility to be related to the other disciples. “What happened? Why are you here alone? What’s with the blood?”
Logically speaking, there should be several disciples working together, so why was Zhou Haozhe alone.
“I was accidentally hit by a brick on my head just now.”
After saying this, Zhou Haozhe lowered his head silently. Seeing his reclusive look, they probably would not be able to get anything out of him.
“What bad luck. He actually fainted from such a small injury. Isn’t he too useless? Doesn’t he know how to dodge it? It’s simply a waste of our time.”
A few disciples beside him whispered.
“Alright, since there’s nothing else, let’s go.”
The group quickly left. The setting sun was like blood, dragging their shadows for a long time. Zhou Haozhe followed at the back of the group.
Many disciples were some distance away from him, as if they were avoiding a fierce beast.
Therefore, no one could see Zhou Haozhe’s shadow. In the instant when the sun shone on him, it became extremely distorted. It had a sharp mouth and long ears, and its brows and eyes were extremely long and narrow. It was shockingly the appearance of a fox.
The shadow slowly merged into Zhou Haozhe’s shadow, but in the blink of an eye, it returned to normal. No one noticed this temporary abnormality, and Zhou Haozhe’s back seemed to have become even more hunched.
Gu Xi seemed to have noticed something and suddenly turned around. However, the village behind him had gradually moved further away, becoming a small black dot. The setting sun that shrouded the sky shone with a scarlet light.
Accompanied by the desolation around him, everything was filled with an ominous and strange feeling, as if the entire world was shrouded in blood.
He suddenly had a faint feeling of unease in his heart, but he could not say it out loud.
Fang Qinyu, who was beside him, noticed his strange behavior and could not help but ask, “What’s wrong, Big Brother Gu?”
Gu Xi shook his head. “Nothing, I felt something strange. Maybe I’m overthinking things.”
It was sunset, and it was the time of the demons. He always felt that this kind of time was somewhat ominous, but Gu Xi did not have to say it out loud. After all, it was nonsense, and he was afraid that it would cause panic among the crowd.
Seeing that Gu Xi did not want to say anything more, Fang Qinyu did not continue asking. The two walked side by side, and their shadows were also approaching. From Afar, it looked like they were together.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Haozhe laughed sinisterly and said in a low voice, “I hope what you said is true.”
He touched the thing in his pocket, and a corner was faintly revealed. It seemed to be a statue, and one could see that the statue had an extremely wide smile.
If Gu Xi and the others were here, they would definitely find this item extremely familiar. It was the fox ornament that they found in the room.
At this moment, Zhou Haozhe was holding it for some unknown reason, and he even brought it out of the village.
A few drops of blood fell on the corner of the fox’s mouth, and that smile grew wider and wider. It was really strange to look at. Very soon, the blood entered the fox. Finally, as if it was absorbed by something, the blood disappeared in an instant.
The fox’s eyes moved. Facing such a strange scene in front of him, Zhou Haozhe appeared extremely calm as if he was used to it. Upon closer inspection, there was a faint red light in his eyes.
Before the sun completely set, the group finally saw the shadow of the village again.
This time, the village looked much better than before. Although it was still in tatters, the curling smoke from the kitchen proved that this place was inhabited.
Everyone hastened their steps and walked into the village. Only then did they realize that this village was also relatively quiet. They did not see anyone outside. Logically speaking, this was a little strange.
After all, at this time, the villagers should have come back from working in the fields. Not to mention the fields, there was not even a trace of them in the courtyard.
Only the chirping of insects and birds could be heard. There was no human presence. If it were not for the smoke they saw earlier, they would have thought that this place was uninhabited.
“Is anyone there?”
Li Junyan knocked on the door of a farmer’s house.
