Chapter 172, Deep in the Mist

Because it was getting late, they had to rest first, and Di Cheng and Meiyan had no interest in continuing to love, and the doubts in their hearts belonged to them the most. Maybe he was too young back then, or maybe he was too stimulated at the time, and even Meiyan didn't know that his mountain village was related to the hidden tantra.

Di Wei planned to put some words out of Wu Mengyao's mouth, but this girl had a lot of nerves, and she was exactly the same type as Nangong Huan'er, so she couldn't ask for useful information at all, so she had to give up in the end.

The next morning, the sky had just brightened, Di Cheng and the others simply ate something, took Wu Mengyao, who was full of grievances, left the resting place, and marched in the direction of the small mountain village according to the location marked on the map.

Temporarily put aside the mood to enjoy the scenery along the way, everyone showed their powers, jumping vertically and horizontally between the branches, mountains, and woodlands, and moving forward steadily. Compared with Di Cheng and the others, Yuwen Leng Nianxian, who was in charge of carrying Wu Mengyao, was a little difficult, but after all, his own strength was there, and he could barely keep up.

Because the mountains were too steep and the ground was slippery and difficult to navigate, they were all very capable, and it took them more than eight hours to climb the two hills, and by the time they appeared in the marked valley, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. The valley is crisscrossed by towering trees, and there is a shallow stream in the middle of it, which is filled with mist that blocks the penetration of light, and walking in it is as if you are in some kind of dream.

Di Cheng stepped on the wet moss and dead leaves, walked forward slowly, and observed the scene around him. The undulations of this valley are very abnormal, and the trees of all sizes are crooked and disorderly, as if they have been subjected to some violent crustal movement, that is, ...... Earthquake!

But in the depths of memory, this place is beautiful, like a fairyland, although there are many trees, but there is no dense excesses like in front of you, and there is no fog, day and night are difficult to distinguish.

Meiyan gently held Di Cheng's hand, and the two slowly moved forward. Due to the fog, the visibility was less than five meters, and they did not know how large the area was or what would be inside, so they could only walk slowly, carefully observing and being alert to any danger that might arise at any time.

Fang Zhongshou and Yuwen Leng Nian followed closely behind, their expressions were a little solemn, I don't know if it was an illusion, they always felt that the atmosphere here was a little strange, the air was a little cold, and the roar of the ape and beast was faintly floating, which made people can't help but feel vigilant in their hearts. Wu Mengyao didn't care about anything else, grabbed Yuwen Lengnian's arm tightly, and looked around timidly.

The group cautiously walked forward slowly, little by little towards the depths of the valley. The deeper you go, the more complicated the ups and downs of the terrain become, and in some places there are even faults as high as four or five meters, and the neat sections are covered with faint green moss, exuding strange colors in the fog.

However, staring at the high fault, Di Cheng suddenly felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. Thinking back to the past, I ran crazy with my beautiful face, and when I was finally separated, I was under a "cliff", is it ...... That's it? Or here...... It's the mountain village in my memory!!

Di Cheng picked up the beautiful face, his knees burst with strength, and he jumped on the messy and broken tree trunk like an ape, and then jumped onto the "cliff", and the three of Fang Zhongshou also followed in turn.

The trees here are still messy and dense, not much different from the situation below, but the fog has faded a little, and the surrounding scene is a little clearer, without the cold and danger it used to be.

"It's ...... Beam! Di Cheng stood on a stone covered with green and purple moss, looking at the few rotten dead trees that "grew" from the ground in front of him. From its shape, it is likely that it was the beam from which the house was built. Further on, you can see the "wreckage" of some houses, some of which are clearer, some of which are faintly recognizable, and some of which are completely buried in the ground.

At this moment, Di Cheng is completely sure that this place was once inhabited, but a long, long time ago, it was ruthlessly swallowed up by an earthquake or some kind of disaster, and the once warm and beautiful was turned into ruins in a blink of an eye.

"This used to be your home?" Yuwen Leng Nian, who rarely spoke, couldn't help but ask out loud. He knew that Di Cheng became famous in Hulunbuir, but he didn't know where his voice and his parents were, was this?

"It's my home." Di Cheng muttered to himself and continued to walk forward. The deeper they went, the more obvious the shape of the "house wreckage" became, and in some places they could even see the complete "skeleton" of the house, but looking at the vast valley, they only saw the wreckage of the house, but no human remains.

It stands to reason that if there had been a disaster here, after the house collapsed, the people inside would not have survived, except for those buried deep underground, the other corpses leaked into the air, and after such a long period of decay, there should be skeletons left. But why not? Not a single one!

Suddenly, a chirping sound sounded, and two monkeys rushed out of the woodland next to them in pursuit, probably not expecting that there were still people here, the little guy was obviously startled, and a ball-like thing fell from them, bounced a few times on the ground, and rolled in front of Yuwen Lengnian.

The two monkeys sat on the tree, as if they wanted to come and fetch it, but they were afraid of being hurt, and their eyes were fixed on the little thing, and they did not dare to act.

"Apples?" Yuwen Leng Nian leaned over and picked up the "ball" on the ground, which turned out to be a cleanly washed apple!

Di Cheng and the others looked at the bright red apples, and their eyes involuntarily cast to the misty area on the right, where is there an orchard? Wrong! Judging by the size and shape of this apple, it should not be a natural growth.

"Let's go!" After a brief silence, everyone winked at each other and hurried into the mist.

Continue to walk forward for about ten minutes, during which in addition to the broken house skeletons, there are cluttered ancient trees and trees, and there is no expected human population, just when Di Cheng and they estimate that they are almost at the end of the valley, a black shadow half a person high suddenly appeared in the layers of fog, dense and huge.

"It's ......"

"How is this possible?"

"This ......"

Di Cheng and the others slowed down and looked at the gradually clear objects with solemn expressions. What appeared in front of them was a ......

Tombs!! And it's a huge number of tombs!!

In the mist, in the silence and coldness, in the cold, the sudden appearance of such a large scale of tombs made people breed a kind of coolness in their hearts, Wu Mengyao exclaimed, retracted back behind Yuwen Leng Nian in fright, closed his eyes tightly, and did not dare to look at it again.

Di Cheng stood still for a moment, step by step to the depths, until the center of the tomb group, where there was a tomb with the tallest and the thickest granite stele clearly engraved with the three big characters "Di Yunyi"!

This is Di Yunyi's grave? This is the small mountain village of the past!

Standing in the center of the tomb group, looking around, there are at least 200 graves here, and there are tombstones in front of each tombstone, and each tombstone has a name on it, and the surname of the name is all ...... Di!!

finally found the hometown in his memory, but Di Cheng did not have any joy, but his face was full of solemnity. Who is it?? Who is the tomb here? And there is not a trace of weeds on each grave, and the tombstones are wiped clean, as if they have just been tidied up. The only mess was the incense stand and fruit bowl displayed in front of the tombstone, and the ground was sprinkled with fruit that had been gnawed by some animal.

“…… Dad ......" Meiyan stood in front of Di Yunyi's tombstone, looked at the familiar name fixedly, layers of mist appeared in her eyes, and finally knelt in front of the grave, tears coming out of her eyes. Although she was very young at the time, and then experienced all kinds of stimulation and suffering, many memories of her childhood have been blurred, and her feelings for her parents and relatives have faded, but looking at the cemetery in front of her, she still can't help but feel sad.

"There's someone here!" Yuwen Leng Nian walked slowly among the tombs, his gaze swept over the many tombstones, and finally cast himself into the depths of the mist.

"Di family...... And alive! Di Cheng also looked at the fog, and couldn't tell whether it was joy or expectation, or vigilance!!

ps: Finally caught up before the wee hours of the morning, sorry bros!! I've kept you waiting.
