Professor Cui asked very seriously: "Brother Big Bear, are you serious about what you say, it's not okay to talk about it!" ”

Dai Xiong patted his chest and replied, "My father told me, can it still be fake!" ”

Professor Cui couldn't hold back his mood anymore, he looked at Zhou Xiaolong and asked, "Without further ado, Xiaolong, what do you think?!" ”

Zhou Xiaolong smiled bitterly and said, "Professor Cui, don't ask me, we all listen to your command." ”

Professor Cui asked Dai Xiong, "Brother Da Xiong, do you still know how to get to that village?!" ”

Dai Xiong shook his head and replied, "I was only a few months old when I left the village, and I haven't been back since......"

Professor Cui said with a disappointed face, "Then how do you enter the village?" ”

Dai Xiong said again: "But this is not a problem, just ask my father tomorrow, if you want to go in and have a look, it is not difficult, I can take a few people in, I should go to pay tribute to the ancestors." ”

Hearing this, Professor Cui became happy, the three of them chatted a few more words, and Dai Xiong also went back to the room to rest, leaving only Professor Cui and Zhou Xiaolong.

Professor Cui muttered: "A small village can exist for a thousand years, it's amazing, there must be a lot of secrets hidden ......"

……

And it came to pass early the next morning, that they arose, and went into the courtyard to wash.

The air in this mountain is really good, Zhou Xiaolong took a few deep breaths, and he didn't feel that yesterday's fatigue was swept away.

Dai Laohan and his son had prepared breakfast for everyone, eating the farmer's side dishes and drinking clear porridge, which made Professor Cui sigh very much.

Professor Cui said with emotion: "This Yunqing Mountain is really a good place, even if you don't cultivate the Tao, living here is also a living immortal!" ”

Taking advantage of the time to eat breakfast, Professor Cui and Dai Laohan continued to talk about last night's topic for a while, which was basically the same as Dai Xiong's description.

Dai Laohan said that the village is not big, and at most there are hundreds of households, and I don't know which dynasty and which generation moved over, because it is located in a remote area, the land is barren, and there are no girls from other places who are willing to marry.

As for the stone men and stone horses in the village, Dai Laohan said with a straight face, those are all sacred objects and cannot be touched.

Speaking of the python mountain again, Dai Laohan also shook his head again and again, saying that even if the superstition is broken now, he does not believe that there are ghosts in the mountain, and he does not recommend Professor Cui to go into the mountain.

Because even if there are no ghosts, at least there are big pythons, and at worst, there are no pythons, and there are always small snakes.

Professor Cui is very persistent, needless to say, where he wants to go, nine cows can't pull it back.

Even though Dai Laohan was very opposed, Professor Cui explained their intentions and thought that it was necessary to investigate, and said that Zhou Xiaolong was a master, and he could also go into the mountains to surpass the souls of Dai Laohan's wife and daughter......

As soon as Dai Laohan and Dai Xiong heard this, Dai Laohan was finally moved, and reluctantly agreed to let his son take Professor Cui and his party to the ancient village.

Then, Dai Laohan called his son Dai Xiong, explained the route to Dai Xiong, and talked for a long time.

Before leaving, Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei went to a nearby town, prepared enough dry food, and bought some things needed for the practice.

This Yunqing Mountain is full of Taoist temples, naturally it is easy to buy these things, that is called a convenience, it only took two hours, these things are ready.

Dai Xiong said that the mountain road was difficult to walk, so he took a big mule and asked the mule to carry the backpacks of several people, and the group was ready to set off.

For Gu Lili, a female classmate, she was originally left by Professor Cui and Zhou Xiaolong to wait at Dai Laohan's house, but she couldn't bear her stalking, so she had to go with her.

More than 30 miles of road, and it is a mountain road, which is more difficult to walk than expected, and when we reach the entrance of the ancient village, it is already night.

Although the moon in the sky is not big, it is still bright, and there is a white expanse all around.

When the group reached the entrance of the village, a huge basin jumped in front of them.

It is difficult to compare the fact that the village was originally built in such a basin.

Under the moonlight, the seemingly scattered villages were a little dilapidated, even a little desolate, and the most terrible thing was that there was no fire and light, and everyone gasped.

Dai Xiong himself also relied on the dictation of his father Dai Laohan, and he was still young at that time, so he naturally did not remember the situation in this village.

If you touch it on this big night, if you fall, even if you don't fall to pieces, at least you will break your skin.

Look at everyone again, that Zhou Xiaolong is better, especially Ouyang Lei and Gu Lili, who are already shouting again and again, and they can't wait to lie on the ground and not leave.

Professor Cui was also too tired, although he sometimes rode a mule along the way, after all, he was old and couldn't help tossing.

Dai Xiong looked at Professor Cui and Zhou Xiaolong, and felt that Zhou Xiaolong, a young man, was the backbone with the best physical strength in this group.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaolong was looking at the village under the mountain, as if he was thinking about something, and it seemed that everyone was waiting for his signal.

Dai Xiong didn't bother, he lit a cigarette and rested while smoking.

After the time of a cigarette passed, Zhou Xiaolong turned around and said to everyone: "This village is a little strange, looking down from this mountain, it should be a basin, but you can't see the whole picture at a glance......

Professor Cui nodded, but didn't say anything.

Then, Zhou Xiaolong looked at Dai Xiong again and asked, "Brother Big Bear, the mountain opposite is probably the Python Mountain, right?!" ”

Dai Xiong stood up, looked at it for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right, that's Python Mountain." ”

After that, Zhou Xiaolong pointed to the front with his finger, only to see that the moonlight was bright everywhere, only one place in front of him was indeed pitch black, and all the light was swallowed up.

Ouyang Lei took out a telescope, which is said to have night vision.

Zhou Xiaolong took the telescope and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see the truth, as if there was a bottomless abyss opposite.

Zhou Xiaolong thought for a moment and said: "We'd better rest here tonight, Da Lei, you and Brother Da Xiong are responsible for setting up tents, the three of us take turns keeping vigil, this place is not simple, how many years no one has lived, not to mention that I haven't smelled a trace of popularity, I haven't even heard the cry of a beast, it's really quiet......

After that, Zhou Xiaolong went to pick up some dry firewood and built two large fires.

Gu Lili boiled some hot water, everyone ate some dry food, and then prepared to go to bed.

Before leaving, Dai Laohan brought his son Dai Xiong a shotgun, which is the kind of single-shot shotgun used by villagers to hunt wild boars.

The bullet is filled with gunpowder and iron sand, and when it hits the body, it scatters the wound and causes burns to the wound, which is amazingly powerful at close range, but it is not lethal at long distance.

Dai Xiong was a soldier, and his marksmanship should be good, so people's hearts are not so nervous and afraid.

Zhou Xiaolong looked at the time and began to assign work, tonight's vigil list was guarded by Zhou Xiaolong, Ouyang Lei and Dai Xiong for three hours each, and after a cycle, the sky was bright.
