He flipped over a black thing that looked like a blackboard, Bai Xiu only glanced at it, and the thoughts in his mind exploded instantly, he seemed to understand what was going on, and at the same time affirmed the previous speculation, the so-called Niluo Gorge Hongshan Cultural Site is the post-catastrophe.

As soon as Ding handed the sign to Wei Wei, she translated and read out the content on it: "This seems to be a tombstone written by herself for herself-

'The time was near, but I didn't get what I wanted, and I was left from my homeland because of it. Still, I hope that the juniors who come with us will keep our promise and wait until they come back to fulfill their vows.

The child's mother had already gone to Huangquan at that time, and I missed her very much, but fortunately I was about to return with her. ’

Well, that's probably what it means, the person who erected the monument is the person in the coffin, and his name is - Zhang Gongxing?"

That's right, Zhang Gongxing, this name is by no means the first time Bai Xiu has known, as early as in the chaos, Bai Xiu saw two things similar to tablets, and one of the two paper people represented this old man named Zhang Gongxing.

It turned out that he didn't die, but moved here with the Raiders. But...... If he said that they were the Raiders, then where did they go?

Also, what kind of oath do the people of this village have with the robber clan, that is, the Hongshan people, not only do they help the robber clan guard the robber heaven, even if the robber clan disappears, they are still here waiting for them to come back?

The others didn't understand these relationships, so they didn't care, Ye Xuan proposed: "Let's find that place first, the people in this village are unknown, and the disappearance of the people from the archaeological team before is their ghost." ”

Bai Xiuxin said, it stands to reason that if Lao Liu was the guardian of the post-calamity sky, they should have stopped Xu Ming on the way at that time, but the strange thing is that there is no such record in Xu Ming's diary.

Did he not take it to heart, or did the people in the village let them in on purpose?

Thinking about him, he advised: "You must be careful on the road, if you encounter an attack, you protect yourself, Ye Xuan and I can deal with them." ”

They restored the lid of the coffin, counted their things again, and then walked towards the back mountain. When he went up the mountain, Ding Yi gushed endlessly: "It seems that repairing a house and preserving a coffin is indeed a funeral custom in this village. ”

Bai Xiu remembered a little, when they passed by here yesterday, there seemed to be a lot of footprints on the yellow mud road, which looked shallow, and they were definitely not left by the old people in the village, and they were unlikely to be left by Ye Xuan and them, because there were several pairs of female footprints.

Bai Xiu had reason to guess that Fang Xin and the others might have entered the mountain the day before he came here. But why didn't Lao Liu and the others mention this matter at all? If they were deliberately concealing it, then Fang Xin and they would probably be in danger.

Bai Xiu couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, but at this moment, he could only secretly pray that they would be safe.

Or sensing his uneasiness, Ye Xuan asked, "Did you find anything?"

Bai Xiu said the truth, and he comforted: "It's okay, there are many of them, even if the whole village is dispatched, it won't be their opponent." ”

Bai Xiu smiled reluctantly and said secretly, I hope so.

The group went up the mountain, but in the face of the endless mountain forest, it was difficult. Bai Xiu walked around the neighborhood in order to find something, but unfortunately, it rained heavily overnight last night, and all traces were washed away, whether it was Fang Xin or Lao Liu, Lao Zhang, it was difficult to judge where they went.

However, he had seen the map prepared by Fang Ling before, although there were only some references on it, and there was no specific location, but he remembered the general direction of the post-tribulation sky. And Lao Liu's appearance means that even if they get here, this fact will not change, as long as Jiuzhujing Village is replaced with the old reservoir village.

Thinking of him, he said, "Let's go west." ”

The others were a little surprised, especially Yin Ming and Tan Qiuhua didn't know much about him, and they all turned their eyes to Ye Xuan. Wei Wei suddenly smiled and said, "To re-introduce, this is the chief consultant of the Bai Family Office in Naiqu City, and he is the best at solving some special incidents, and Hongshan Culture is in his business scope." ”

Tan Qiuhua was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Fortunately, fortunately, no wonder you know Hongshan culture so well." ”

Yin Ming shook his head with a smile, it seemed that he knew Wei Wei's character very well. Only Ding Yi turned his head away and laughed secretly in a low voice.

The five of them walked along an almost deserted path to the west, and Bai Xiu carefully looked around while opening the road with Ye Xuan in front. Originally, he thought that this road would lead directly into the depths of the mountains and forests, but after walking for about forty minutes, the front suddenly opened up.

At the same time, the sound of gurgling water came from not far away.

Looking at the familiar spring in front of him, Bai Xiu couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that it was at a corner with Huaihualing and Jiushuitang Village, but in fact, he was going in the wrong direction, he should have gone directly to Jiushuitang Village.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he quickly realized that it was no wonder that the two areas were so similar at first, because they were already symmetrical. As his thoughts flickered, he also had a faint sense of the secret of why this place was interconnected.

There are many people in Jiuzhujing Village, and many peach trees have been planted, which is for the yang; the old pond village has few people, and a large number of corpses have been placed, like a huge tomb, and there are boundless locust trees around it, which can be said to be extremely heavy in yin qi; this yin and yang are the key to the matter.

Ding Yi was the sharpest-eyed, pointed to the opposite side and said, "There seems to be a road over there!"

Bai Xiu couldn't help but sigh, if he had noticed this at that time, maybe he wouldn't have met Ye Xuan and them.

They walked along the new path for another three hours, and finally the yellow mud path under their feet came to an end. Yin Ming was old in the end, and he was already tired and out of breath after almost a few hours of mountain travel. Seeing that there was an open space in front of him, Wei Wei said: "Let's go over and take a rest, there is no road ahead, and we have to consider how to get it next." ”

Naturally, the others would not object, they each picked up a clean place to sit, and Ye Xuan distributed the dry food prepared before.

While eating, Ye Xuan said to Bai Xiu: "According to your experience, how far is that place?"

Of course, Bai Xiu didn't have an answer, so he could only speculate: "If Lao Liu and they are really 'grave keepers', they will naturally keep an eye on it all the time, then it won't be too far, at least it can be reached during the day." And ......"

Bai Xiu thought of something and explained: "People's cognition is always limited, Lao Liu, if they want to ambush the intruders on the road, they will definitely control this range in the area they can control, and this distance is also their limit." ”

Ding Yi suddenly said: "Even if they are ambushed halfway, they can be caught and interrogated properly." ”

Wei Wei was speechless: "How do you make us look like villains......"

After resting for a while, seeing that Yin Ming's face was still pale, Ye Xuan proposed: "Bai Xiu and I will go to the front to see the situation first, you guys are watching things here, and we will come back soon." ”

Bai Xiu felt inappropriate in his heart, after all, among the five people, Yin Ming was old, Wei Wei was a girl, and Ding Yi's skills were not very good, if he and Ye Xuan left at the same time, it would inevitably give Lao Liu and the others who were hiding in the shadows a chance.

But seeing Yin Ming's panting appearance, Bai Xiu was also a little unbearable.

It's just that if they continue to rest, if they don't find it before dark, I'm afraid that they will only have a chance to meet Fang Xin tomorrow - there is a lot of danger in the forest at night, and he has no position to let others be suspected because of him.

It was indeed the best choice for him and Ye Xuan to explore the way.

Bai Xiu sighed in his heart, it seems that Ye Xuan also knew this very well, so he made this suggestion, after all, it was for his sake.

Of course, he can actually go alone......

Ye Xuan knew him very well, and immediately noticed his hesitation, and said with a smile: "Let's go together, the speed is faster, and we don't go far, anyway, we will take care of it back and forth." ”

Speaking of this, Bai Xiu nodded: "Okay." ”

Before leaving, Wei Wei grabbed Ye Xuan and gave him a haircut that was messed up, with a gentle smile on his face that Bai Xiu had never seen before.

Her gaze lingered with her sweetheart, and she whispered, "Be careful, don't keep worrying me." ”

Ye Xuan smiled and nodded.

Walking straight out of their sight, Bai Xiu smiled: "Your relationship is still so good. ”

Ye Xuan just smiled, pointed to the sparse corner of the grass and trees, and said, "Shall we go over there and have a look?"

Bai Xiu came back to his senses and nodded: "It seems to be a canyon in front, and the bottom of the valley is flat, maybe it will be easier to walk." ”

The two of them went into the woods and walked for about ten minutes, and sure enough, the front of them lit up, revealing a canyon that was not too big or small. Ye Xuan turned around at the edge of the canyon, and after a while, he said happily: "This cliff doesn't seem to be steep, you should be able to go down by grabbing these shrubs." ”

At this moment, Bai Xiu suddenly felt a very strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, which was his long-standing intuition. He didn't think about it, so he said: "Let's go back first, we should not delay much time while walking and resting." ”

Ye Xuan couldn't resist him, so the two of them returned the same way. However, before they could get closer, a heart-rending cry came from the clearing where they had rested. Bai Xiu's heart sank, and he rushed over almost without hesitation.

When he stumbled to arrive, he saw Yin Ming holding a blurred ball of flesh and blood, and almost fainted from crying. Bai Xiu walked over in a daze, and saw a familiar cheek raised from the mass of flesh and blood.

Blackened blood gushed out of Wei Wei's mouth, but her eyes stared straight at Ye Xuan, tears slowly fell, but she could no longer speak to express her love.

Bai Xiu muttered, "How can this be ......?"

"Wei Wei ......" Ye Xuan staggered over, knelt down in front of her, and suddenly his eyes sharpened, staring at Ding Yihe and Tan Qiuhua, who were choked up and speechless, "What the hell is going on?!"

Ding Yi wiped his tears with his sleeve: "I—I don't know...... Just now you left, Sister Wei Wei suddenly felt uncomfortable, and then, then, and then...... Her body began to melt......"

Bai Xiu was shocked, looked down nearby, and soon found a thorn that was almost half the length of an ordinary sewing needle, it was snow-white, and the middle strip was almost only a hair-thin gap, and it fell on the grass like a pocket icicle.

"Decay...... Someone injected the decay into her body. All Bai Xiu could think of was Lao Liu and the others, they really did it, but he didn't expect that their methods would be so cruel, let alone that they would do it to Wei Wei, if he could replace him, how good would it be......

"......" Wei Wei's arm was rotten and almost white bones were visible, but he used the last trace of strength to pull Ye Xuan, his eyes full of tears looked at her motionlessly, and he only lasted for two seconds, and finally slowly closed his eyes, and his hand fell weakly.

"I will avenge you...... Wei Wei ...... Wei Wei ...... I'll avenge you......"

Ding Yi sobbed and said, "Boss, we, let's send Sister Weiwei back, we won't go to the Laoshizi ruins......"

Ye Xuan suddenly smiled, wrapped Wei Wei's already shrunken body with his coat, and choked up: "No, let's move on, I will definitely fulfill her wish for her." ”

In the end, they buried Wei Wei under the big pine tree, although Yin Ming and the three of them strongly objected, Ye Xuan said: "Don't you have such an enlightenment? This is just the beginning, we don't know what will happen next, are we sure to live? I won't let Wei Wei die with me without a place to bury." ”

His gaze swept over them one by one—except that he didn't look at Bai Xiu again—and his eyes revealed a different kind of coldness: "Of course, if you want to leave, you can go back." ”

Ding Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, even if I give this life today, I will avenge Sister Weiwei!"

Ye Xuan nodded and asked them to leave first, but he himself half-knelt down, caressing the new, pine-cut tombstone in distraction, and muttered, "I must be dreaming......"

"I'm sorry. Bai Xiu said in a low voice.

At this moment, he only regretted in his heart, if the time could go back to half an hour ago, he would definitely ...... It's a pity that it's too late for him to say anything now.

Ye Xuan ignored him, stood up and walked in the direction of the canyon.

Bai Xiu stood stunned for a long time, turned his head to look at the new cluster of mounds, and thought to himself, this is probably really a nightmare.

That's why Wei Wei left them.
