A second โ of small โณ said ยง net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!
It took a long time for the village chief to calm down, and he said in a trembling voice: "The legends of our ancestors in our village are all said...... It is said that the back mountain is actually haunted......"
I was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "What the hell?"
The village chief spoke tremblingly. Pen ร fun ร Pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
"Legend has it that before the Northern Song Dynasty, our place was very rich, and there was a big family living on the back mountain, and everyone didn't know what they did, only that they were rich and majestic. But in a certain year in the Northern Song Dynasty, the family didn't know who they had offended, and overnight, all the members of the family died......"
I was stunned.
The big family that the village chief is talking about should be the Ye family.
"From that time on, as long as the people of the village entered the mountain, they would never return. The village chief said, "Everyone says that it is the ghost of the family that died." Over time, we came to the conclusion that the people in the village would never enter the mountain unless they had something important. โ
Speaking of this, the village chief suddenly cried wolf.
"The people in our village have always adhered to this statement, but the outsiders are ...... Those outsiders are still desperately trying to get in, and they are all confused by the ghosts in the back mountain...... It must be that the ghosts in the back mountains are too lonely, so they need to find more people to be companions......"
The village chief cried fiercely, but we didn't have the heart to care about it at all, we just looked at Rong Qi in unison.
Since entering the village chief's house, Rong Qi has not said a word, just standing at the window and looking out of the window.
Not far from the window, there is a verdant mountain, which should be the back mountain that the village chief said.
In the end, Rong Aotian couldn't hold it back, and said tentatively: "Lord Rong Qi, what should we do now?"
Only then did Rong Qi come back to his senses, glanced at the village chief who was crying on the ground, and said lightly: "Prepare to enter the mountain." โ
The village chief stopped crying at once and looked at Rong Qi in shock.
"Never, never...... You can't go into that place...... Why don't you listen to me-" The village chief was only halfway through his words, when Rong Qi suddenly turned to look at him.
Rong Qi's eyes were so cold, the village chief was suddenly so frightened that he couldn't say a word.
"Find someone to show us the way. Rong Qi's expression was indifferent, but his tone was not at all unquestionable.
Perhaps Rong Qi's aura was too strong, and the village chief, who had always been strongly opposed, spoke a few times at this time, and finally spoke tremblingly: "If you must go in, go to Old Man Mo to show you the way." โ
"Old man Mo?"
"What you saw at the door just now is Old Man Mo and his granddaughter Yueyue. Old man Mo is the fortune teller in our village, since there were outsiders who came to Houshan in droves to commit suicide, he has been going to the mountains to find corpses, and occasionally find a few people who gave up suicide halfway to bring back. โ
Sure enough, that old man Mo is not an ordinary person.
"Did anyone who gave up on suicide say anything about the people who got it back?" I couldn't help but ask.
The village chief shuddered.
"All the people who came out, even if they didn't die, were crazy...... Said that he saw a lot of terrible things in the mountains...... That's why I'm telling you, this back mountain really can't be entered......"
Rong Qi didn't pay any attention to the village chief and walked out of the door directly.
After Rong Zesai gave the village chief some money, he hurriedly took us to follow.
We soon found a small house near the foot of the back mountain in the village, with the villagers' guidance.
Outside the house, Old Man Mo was smoking a hookah, and Yueyue was kicking the shuttlecock next to him.
Old man Mo was not surprised at all when he saw us, and said slowly: "You are here." โ
Master Chengying stepped forward and said politely: "Senior, we want to go into the back mountain and go to see the ancient mansion, I wonder if you can help us lead the way?"
"Heh, you guys, you are much more capable than me, the old man, and you still want me to lead the way?" Old man Mo smiled sarcastically, his eyes fell on Rong Qi, "Especially this zombie of nearly a thousand years, where can my old man compare?"
I was stunned.
This old man Mo is really capable, and he can see Rong Qi's true identity at a glance.
Rong Qi was not surprised, but said lightly: "The trees in this mountain forest are all planted according to the technique of Qimen Dunjia, I don't understand this way, if you enter the mountain, you will definitely get lost." โ
Old Man Mo's face changed slightly.
"It seems that this is not the first time you have entered this Momiji Mountain?"
Only then did I realize that this back mountain was called Momiji Mountain.
Rong Qi glanced at the mountain with an unpredictable expression.
"Nine hundred years ago, I went in once. โ
Old Man Mo shook his hand and blurted out, "Do you know the Ye family?"
"Acquaintance? Rong Qi smiled coldly, "Don't you know." โ
Old Man Mo glanced at Rong Qi meaningfully, was silent for a long time, and sighed suddenly.
"Alas, it's all karma and creation, and in that case, I have no reason to stop you. Old man Mo said, "It's just that since I was injured by the ghosts in the mountains in the first half of the year, my body and bones can't enter the mountain, but I can ask my granddaughter to take you in." โ
We were all skeptical.
Yueyue, this girl looks like she has thin arms and legs, can she enter such a dangerous place?
Old man Mo seemed to guess our thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, my granddaughter is talented and intelligent, and her current skills are not much worse than my old man." โ
Everyone said that, so naturally we couldn't say anything, so we could only promise to thank you.
"But today we can't go in. Old man Mo added again.
"Why?" Rong frowned.
Old Man Mo sneered.
"Of course you are not afraid of a few of you who have the ability, but this girl and these men you brought have no ability, can you go over? I asked Yueyue to buy something for self-defense, and you can go in again." โ
Old man Mo was referring to me and a few people from the Rong family, everyone looked at Rong Qi, and he nodded.
This night, we rested temporarily in Jiang Village.
The only house in the whole village that has a bunch of us stuffed is the village chief's house. Old man Mo sent Yueyue to the nearby town to buy things to ward off evil spirits, such as black dog blood and black donkey hooves, while we had dinner at the village chief's house.
There were too many people to fit in the restaurant, so we gathered around the courtyard to eat, and I ate while staring at Mt. Momiji in the distance.
Mt. Momiji is about 500 meters high, with dense vegetation, and under the moonlight, the shape of the mountain is a bit like a running man.
I've always been very taboo about this kind of human-shaped mountain.
Mainly when I was a child, I was in an orphanage, and there was such a mountain next to it, and Dean Wu always told us ghost stories, saying that this kind of human-shaped mountain was formed after the demons and monsters were fixed by Taoist priests, and they were very evil.
I was fascinated by the view of Momiji Mountain, and it was slowly getting dark, and I suddenly saw a glimmer of light shining on the mountainside.
At first I thought I was mistaken, but I blinked, but I saw that there was really light on the mountain!
The meat on my chopsticks scared off right away.
"Look at it!" I said in a panic, "how can there be lights on the Red Leaf Mountain?"
The others also changed their faces slightly, but the village chief and Rong Qi both looked calm.
"Oh, there's a family living on the mountainside. The village chief spoke, his face a little strange, "That's the light of their house." โ
"Isn't that mountain haunted?" I was stunned, "isn't that mountain haunted?
