When the three of them arrived at the nearest small mountain village in the area of "Yuanqiu Mountain", the time had already pointed to 9 o'clock in the evening.

The driver flashed conveniently after sending off the three of them, but to Jiang Yao's surprise, the village chief of this village had been waiting for the three of them for a long time, and the enthusiasm and high specifications of the reception attitude really made Jiang Yao a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what kind of greeting Lingyutai had made in advance.

"Oh, the three chiefs are so tired, it's really hard!" said the bald uncle in front of him with a smile on his face, and kept toasting Jiang Yao, who had just filled his stomach with a glass of wine. "Come on, come on, try the home-brewed liquor in our village, this fragrance is not inferior to Moutai!"

Li ...... Village Chief Li...... Not...... I really...... I can't drink ......."

Jiang Yao held his swollen head, endured the overturning of the river and the sea in his stomach, and complained bitterly in his heart. Originally, it was only because of the difficulty of hospitality that he planned to "mean the meaning" at the dinner, but he didn't expect to start the wheel war as soon as he opened his mouth, even if Jiang Yao had a good amount of wine, he couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the villagers to drink, at this time he couldn't help but envy the wisdom of the white pheasant, and made it clear at the beginning that he would not drink, and now he was snorting melon seeds and chatting with the villagers in the spring breeze. And gluttony is the opposite, what to eat, even if a few bottles of wine are down, their faces are not red and their hearts are not beating, but those who toast opposite are poured a large piece.

"Sir, what a lot of wine!" When Village Chief Li saw this gluttonous posture, he obviously regarded him as an old comrade who had passed through the battlefield with "wine", and he gave a thumbs up and praised repeatedly. "If you still want to drink, sir, how many more bottles shall we open for you?"

"No, no, no~ Some people should not be able to hold on if they drink it again, and they will have to get up early tomorrow to go into the mountains. Gluttony looked at Jiang Yao, who was already dazed from drinking, and smiled and stuffed a piece of pancake in his mouth. "By the way, I just asked the village chief about something, it seems that someone had an accident in the Yuanqiu Mountain area a while ago, have you heard of this?"

Hearing Tao Tao mention Zhou Wenhai's matter, Jiang Yao's chaotic consciousness suddenly sobered up a little, and he hurriedly listened.

"Shhh...... The area around Yuanqiu Mountain...... It seems that there is such a thing. A few days ago, the police came to inquire, and it seems that two of them are missing and one is unconscious. Village Chief Li recalled while sipping a little wine.

"Speaking of which, the mountains and forests in that area are very evil, there was an accident a few years ago, and a landslide over there buried a small village in the mountains, tsk, the whole village is gone...... Not to mention people, when the rescue team went, they couldn't even find the house, they only saw a large pile of mountains and soil, which was a miserable one. ”

Village Chief Li slurped his lips with a sad face.

"Since then, there has been something wrong with the mountains and forests in that area, there are always people who have disappeared after entering the mountains, this deep mountain is so big, even if you search the mountains, you can't find it! Gradually, people don't dare to run to that mountainous area, some people say that the villagers who were buried alive are still angry, and they take the people who strayed into the mountains and forests to the underworld, and some people say that they have seen the ghosts of the villagers in the forest, and they are old and scary!"

"What's the name of that buried village?" asked Glutton.

"Called...... It's called Red ...... What is the ......?" Village Chief Li hesitated, turning his head to look at the other villagers around him inquiringly, but he quickly remembered. "Oh yes, it's called 'Chiquan Village'. ”

"...... Chiquan Village?" the gluttony muttered softly, his eyes narrowing slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"There's more to that forest than that. As soon as he saw that the gluttony seemed to be a little interested, Village Chief Li became more and more energetic.

"I heard the older generation of people in the village say that in the depths of the forest, there is also a 'Yellow Spring Well', which is said to be connected to the underworld, in ancient times, there were always demons and monsters who came out of the well to harm people, and then they were sealed by the masters, and then they stopped. But the place is still gloomy, and it is not clear that there will be an accident in Chiquan Village because it is too close to that place...... Don't go too deep into the mountains this time, it's dangerous. ”

I remember that Zhu Rong seemed to have mentioned this as well......

As soon as he heard Village Chief Li talk about Huangquanjing, Jiang Yao immediately remembered the rumors he had heard from Zhu Rong's mouth before, since even the locals said this, I am afraid it is really not groundless, will Zhou Wenhai's accident be related to this matter?

Jiang Yao thought, but his head was soon occupied by the surging wine, and his thoughts became a little intermittent, he knew that if he drank it again, he would break sooner or later, so he finally persuaded Village Chief Li to let him go, and staggered out of the dining room with the support of gluttony, and walked towards the hut arranged by the village chief.

"The guest house in our village is relatively simple, and today I will wronged the three of them, the female chief lives in a single room in the West Wing, and the two male chiefs will live in the East Wing room together. Village Chief Li enthusiastically led Jiang Yao and the others into the courtyard of the hut, and pointed to the east and west rooms in front of him. "It's not too early, the three of you freshen up and rest early, and call me at any time if you need anything." ”

After the arrangement was completed, Village Chief Li sprayed alcohol and was carried back by several villagers.

"Hey...... I really don't understand the so-called "human feelings" in your human society, drink yourself into this virtue, like our demons don't come to this set~" The white pheasant looked at Jiang Yao, who was vomiting in the dark on the edge of the sink, helplessly patted him on the back, and took out a pill from his backpack and handed it to Jiang Yao.

"Come, eat this 'Living Qi Dispersion', it can give you a hangover relief to some extent. ”

"Hmm...... Thank...... Thank you......" Jiang Yao took the pill and thanked the white pheasant gratefully.

"After taking the medicine, wash and sleep early, I have to get up early tomorrow, so I'll go back to the room first." The white pheasant said and helped Jiang Yao to the side of the bed, nodded to the glutton, and then turned around and left the east wing room.

"Tsk...... If you can't drink it, you still have to drink hard, and you call it 'self-inflicted'. Gluttony glanced at Jiang Yao, who was lying on the bed and was about to vomit, shook his head slightly, poured a glass of water and handed it over.

"......" Jiang Yao didn't have the strength to say anything more, took the water and poured it into his stomach with the pill given by the white pheasant, and after a while, Jiang Yao felt that the intense swelling pain in his head gradually dissipated, and his stomach was not so uncomfortable, and the effect of the pill was immediate.

“…… You...... It seems that he has drunk a lot, is it really okay?" Jiang Yao sat up from the bed weakly, supported his still somewhat drowsy head, and looked up at the gluttony on the side, but found that the gluttony of the villagers who had drunk it was still the same as usual, so the amount of liquor that could be drunk as boiled water was really not comparable to ordinary people.

"Hehe, how could I be okay, that is not enough for me to fill in the gaps. Gluttony smiled indifferently, pulled up an electronic map on his mobile phone, and threw it to Jiang Yao.

"The location of the red dot on the map is the place where Zhou Wenhai was found, about 5 kilometers away from here, and the large area on the side should be the forest that the village chief just said. ”

Jiang Yao took the map and looked at it, and sure enough, there was a striking red dot on the northwest side of the current coordinates, which seemed to be the edge of the deep mountains and old forests, and there didn't seem to be any roads around it, and I don't know how Zhou Wenhai and others got to that kind of place in the first place.

"It seems that we will only be able to hike into the mountain tomorrow, so after we reach the red dot position, how will we search for the whereabouts of the soul in the future?" Jiang Yao asked.

"I can only take one step at a time, and under the investigation of the surrounding area first, there may be clues. Tao Tao said and sat down beside Jiang Yao. "Generally speaking, although there are not many people in the mountains and forests, it is a holy place for the cultivation of spirits, and when you get there, you can always catch a few to inquire about the situation. ”

"This is also a way......" Jiang Yao nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said. "By the way, what do you think of the 'Huangquan Well' that Village Chief Li said?"

"I don't know if there is really a so-called 'Huangquan Well', but I have heard a little about the buried 'Chiquan Village'. Gluttony glanced at Jiang Yao and continued.

"In the ancient book of mountains and seas of your human race, there is a mysterious tribe called the 'Immortal People'. Legend has it that the people of this tribe are immortal because they eat the fruit of the "immortal tree" and drink the "red spring water", and this rumored "red spring" that can make people immortal was once in the area of this "Yuanqiu Mountain". ”

"Yuanqiu Mountain...... Akasen...... Chiquan Village?!" Jiang Yao said in surprise. "Is it possible...... What does that buried village have to do with the Undead?"

"I don't know if it matters, but I've never seen an immortal human before. Gluttony said, leaning back on the edge of the bed. "And in the legend, those 'undead' because they disobeyed the 'way of heaven', and later the heavens punished them, and those 'undead' all disappeared overnight, and even the red spring and the immortal tree dried up one after another, so the legend of the 'undead' is limited to 'legends'. ”

"Chiquan Village, the undead people, Huangquanjing...... I always feel that these legends have something to do with Brother Wen Hai's accident, and it would be nice if there was more news......" Jiang Yao thought for a while, and turned his head to look at the gluttony on the side.

"By the way, haven't you lived from ancient times to the present?

"Thousands of years ago, how can I remember the things of the old sesame seeds and rotten grains so clearly. Don't overdo it, said impatiently. "Besides, I'm not 'always alive' either. ”

"......!" Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that he had lost his words. He remembered the "hunting" murals he had seen in Penglai before, from ancient times to the present, gluttony probably has been forced to reincarnate in the killing many times, and those pains must also be reincarnated with those inherited memories, indelible, just let him recall the past is tantamount to sprinkling salt in the wound......

Jiang Yao lowered his head, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he opened his mouth again as if he didn't care:

"For me, time is a long river with no end, many people and things have come and gone for thousands of years, and 'forgetting' has become inevitable, maybe a hundred years from now...... I'll forget about you too. Gluttony pillowed his arms, and his red eyes looked at Haoyue outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Yao looked at the seemingly calm expression of the glutton, but he felt a trace of loneliness in his heart, the sequelae of alcohol rolled in his head, and almost subconsciously, Jiang Yao blurted out:

"Haven't you met one...... Someone who will make you unforgettable?"

The gluttonous expression of "......" seemed to freeze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

"Maybe there were. Tao Tao turned his head, looked at Jiang Yao, and suddenly smiled.

"It's a pity I forgot. ”

"This ......" Jiang Yao just wanted to say something, but suddenly found that the gluttony on the other side made a silent gesture, Jiang Yao's expression was cold, and the wine was immediately sobered up for the most part, he quickly closed his mouth and looked carefully towards the window in the direction indicated by the other party.

He saw a dark shadow nesting not far from the window, constantly peeking into the house.
