Gujing Mountain.

The humidity in the air became thicker, the rumbling thunder accompanied by lightning flashed and exploded in the dark night sky, and the wind in the mountains was fierce, and the black and oppressive mountains and forests were violently shaken by the fierce wind.

There was a rainstorm on the horizon.

I said Lao Chen...... I really believe in your evil, you said that you can go back to the barracks quickly if you go to this mountain, and the big guy will go with you, but the result is good, the more you walk, the more you go!"

Click!

Overhead, a bolt of lightning tore through the eerie and terrifying sky, and the heavens and the earth instantly turned pale.

Okay, Xiao Liuzi, don't talk nonsense, it's going to rain soon, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first. ”

A group of six people in armor and long knives in their hands walked against the wind, and one of them, a stout man with a rough appearance, shouted.

The prestige of the man is extremely high, and this opening suppressed the resentment in everyone's hearts.

The young man named Xiao Liuzi had a clever look in his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Brother Zhuang, it's too late to go back this time...... If you can't keep it, you will be beaten with a military stick. ”

It's okay not to say this, as soon as he said it, he was angry in his heart, and couldn't help but pick up the long knife and slash at the ancient tree a few times, and when he saw that everyone didn't care about him at all, he gradually moved away, and hurriedly inserted the knife back into the scabbard, and followed everyone in a few steps.

After that, I walked for about a cup of tea.

Rumble.

Rumble.

The thunder is getting louder and louder, the sky is getting darker and darker, the dark clouds are like funnels pressing directly overhead, which really makes people feel depressed, the mountains and forests have become so dark that it is almost impossible to see the road ahead and the way forward, and there are shrubs and thorns everywhere that cut their hands.

Among the six people, a man with an old appearance walked in front to lead the way, his eyes flicked as if he had found something, and he walked quickly to an ancient tree, his calloused hands touched the knife marks on the tree, and his face was ugly:

"We kept going around in circles and didn't even get out of this place......"

The crowd stepped forward and looked at each other. Xiao Liuzi looked at the knife marks on the ancient tree and immediately shouted: "Isn't this the tree I cut down just now......?"

As if he had come to his senses, he complained with a sad face: "Old Chen, my brother's ass is going to be miserable by you." ”

The old-looking man felt guilty, but he still reminded him loudly: "It's all my fault, I mistook the brothers...... This Gujing Mountain is indeed a mountain road leading directly to Shangdang, I have walked no less than 100 times since I was a child, at most an hour, we can go out. ”

Lao Chen swallowed a mouthful of water, and the wind mixed with the sparse raindrops blew into his mouth: "But now we have been in the mountain for at least two hours, and it is strange if we have been spinning in the same place! ”

How could this ......"

At this time, everyone was in an uproar, unable to calm down, and looked at Lao Chen with a different look in his eyes.

Seeing this, the big strong brother in Xiao Liuzi's mouth sighed helplessly:

Besides, the climate in the north is changeable, and it is just a rainstorm, which is a common thing, so why make a fuss, the delay in the return date is not just a matter of a few boards, and no one can die. “

Speaking of this, looking at everyone's eyes with some disdain: "Don't say that you guys ......are from our Shanzi Camp in the future."

Turbidity,

Da Zhuang's ears moved, and he took a few steps to open the bushes on the side, only to see that there was a cliff under his feet, and in the distance, the mountains and mountains were hidden in the dark clouds, and it was difficult to see its edge.

The wind is howling, and the mountains should be full of verdant green, but at this time, they are undulating like black waves in the sky, hula-la, and it is vaguely visible that the bottom of the cliff is a gurgling stream, and there are no swimming fish.

Rumble!

There was another loud thunderclap that made the hairs stand on end.

Cracking sound!

The long-suppressed torrential rain suddenly poured down, blowing on his face like an arrow, but also by the moment of this earth-shattering thunder, Da Zhuang found the fire not far away, and shouted:

There should be a house not far away...... The main thing now is to shelter from the rain, and if there is a landslide, we will all die......"

Everyone followed the direction of Da Zhuang's fingers, and they could vaguely see the light of the fire not far away.

No nonsense......

The torrential rain became heavier and heavier, and everyone began to bury their heads forward, and the strange thing was that this time the group of six people did not spin in place, and indeed began to gradually approach the distant firelight.

The so-called lookout mountain runs a dead horse.

Although everyone is not so exaggerated at the moment, it is enough time to walk a stick of incense because of the heavy rain.

Trample!

The bushes were torn apart by sharp long knives, and the six of them came out in a muddy mess, and in front of them was a dilapidated ancient temple, and they immediately quickened their pace.

Ouch...... No, no, no. ”

As soon as Xiao Liuzi entered the broken temple, he immediately collapsed to the ground, and the road was really tossed enough.

Ah Shui, make a fire. ”

Ah, look for firewood. ”

"Okay, big strong man......"

Soon, a bonfire was lit up in the ruined temple, and everyone gathered around the only heat to keep warm.

Lao Chen began to distribute the dry food in the bag, although it looked a little soft because of the rain, but it was good to have a stutter at this time.

Ah......h Comfortable. Xiao Liuzi touched his belly and squinted.

He was born with a temperament that couldn't stop, and now he also had a place to shelter from the rain, and his eyes rolled to look at the ruined temple he was in.

Behind the bonfire there is a strange clay statue of a woman, perhaps it is a relationship that has been abandoned for too long, the face of the statue is no longer visible, but the lower body is the appearance of a strange old tree rooted.

The more Xiao Liuzi looked at it, the more terrified he became, and he only felt that this faceless clay sculpture had been staring at him.

'I'm also a man who has killed barbarians, why are you afraid of a clay sculpture. ’

Turning his head to look outside the ruined temple, the bushes were overgrown, the trees were twisted and ugly in the dark, the crackling rain hit the leaves, and the ruined temple was covered with moss.

Raw and deep.

"Brother Zhuang, you said that before we came, we saw that this place was lit with fire, and we worked hard to come here, but no matter how you look at it, this place doesn't look like a human being. ”

Xiao Liuzi approached the door, his face was instantly hit by the rain, and he hurriedly blocked his face with his hand, and looked around with the help of the thunder that flashed in the sky from time to time.

This is a mountain depression basin with high mountains on all sides, like a well, and the broken temple is in the center of the basin.

Yes...... Just now everyone saw that there was a fire in this place, but now there are people in this place......

When it came to this, the three of them talked about it one after another, each with their own statements, and all kinds of absurd claims popped up!

Lao Chen stayed quietly under the beams and pillars alone, and he didn't know what to think.

Da Zhuang, who really couldn't listen to it, slammed the sheath of the pestle and made a dull sound.

A pair of bronze bell-wide eyes glared at the four of them, and said, "How many of you...... The captain gave us a three-day vacation, and you are so tired, how did you get into the Shanzi camp!"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he scolded directly:

"Shanzi Battalion, but one of the four most famous departments of the Youzhou Army, how can there be four of you who are as timid as mice!

"Like the solidity of the mountains, unshakable, even if the Kunlun divine vein collapses, the face will not change, but look at your current appearance, I am ashamed to be with you!"

Seeing this, Lao Chen hurriedly got up and comforted: "I blame me for all this...... If I hadn't come up with this bad idea, we would have been in the camp, and we would have been beaten or scolded all at me. ”

Alright...... Everyone is a team, or a fellow villager, don't argue. Xiao Liuzi also hurriedly diverted this topic. That's right...... Lao Chen, you said that you have been to this Gujing Mountain hundreds of times, so do you know the village here?"

"Village?"

Lao Chen frowned.

"Come and see ......" Xiao Liuzi hurriedly beckoned Lao Chen over and pointed outside.

Bang!

Overhead, another bolt of lightning pierced the sky, staining the ruined temple a miserable white.

It also illuminates the village in the distance, a dozen dilapidated mud houses in a jumbled mess, sparsely arranged together, separated by a cross-shaped aisle. Form a simple street.

There is also a huge locust tree at the entrance of the village, the leaves are large and round, like a person's head fluttering with the wind, terrifying, the roots of the tree are densely floating on the ground, extending into the darkness.

"This village has been around for some years, have you ever been here before, Lao Chen?"

There is a legend in Gujing Mountain...... It is said that there is a village in the deep mountains, but no one has ever really seen it with their own eyes, and I can't imagine that we stumbled into it by mistake today because of this rainstorm. ”

Lao Chen's face was covered with mud, and he washed his face fiercely with the rain dripping from the eaves: "But I guess that it is very likely that it is a village moved from the war during the Dayan period, and it is normal for it to be abandoned in the past few hundred years." ”

In recent years, due to various accidents, the entire village has been relocated or fled to the sea. Empty villages are not uncommon.

In many cases, an epidemic can lead to the complete relocation and destruction of a village.

Xiao Liuzi felt that something was wrong, especially when he heard Lao Chen say this, goosebumps rose, and his mouth was dry: "Do you think there will be ghosts?!"

Otherwise, why would we have come all the way here...... There is also a clay statue in this ruined temple. Xiao Liuzi glanced back at the faceless figure, only to feel cold and shivering.

Syllable!

"Ouch ......"

Xiao Liuzi covered his head, squatted on the ground and howled in pain.

"The ghost is just a compilation from the Shendu family, and you still believe it......" Da Zhuang slammed a violent shudder on Xiao Liuzi's head.

As the captain of the army, Da Zhuang has a very high prestige among the five people, and he stared at everyone with big eyes:

Now let's check this ruined temple first, it's fine, let's hurry up and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow.

After a while, I stayed with Lao Chen in the first half of the night, and then Ah Shui and Ah Bian.

In the end, Xiao Liuzi and Ah Shui guarded the second half of the night......"

The six of them quickly carefully inspected the broken temple, and soon gathered around the bonfire, the night in the north was much colder than other places, and now it was raining heavily outside, and the broken temple was leaking everywhere, and the rain crackled in, and it was even colder.

Among the six people, one is in the stage of blood exchange, and most of the others are just raised from Qi, and their qi and blood are slightly insufficient, where can they withstand such a cold, and they warm each other back to back.

sub-hours.

The thunder outside, the wind and rain seemed to be unable to stop for a moment, and God didn't know what to lose his temper and worked hard.

Da Zhuang held the firewood in his hand, and was bored with the bonfire.

Lao Chen hid by the beam at the door, and if something happened, he could fight back instantly.

That's when it happened.

Bang!

Another bang!

Outside, there was the sound of heavy footsteps.

Da Zhuang and Lao Chen glanced at each other, their mouths let out a faint but strange bird call, and the four people who were resting immediately turned over and picked up the long knife as if instinctively.

Footsteps are getting closer.

Bang!

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky like a water serpent.

Choke!

The four long knives were unsheathed together, pointing to the door from afar, and Lao Chen hid behind the beams and pillars to hide his figure.

Boom!

There was a sound of something heavy dragging on it.

A tall figure walked into the ruined temple with a huge wild boar.

"Yo, there's five more people here......"
