Grandpa smiled, took out a bamboo tube from the bag that straddled his body, poured out a few pills from it and handed them to everyone, and said: "This is the smell produced by the decay of trees, grass roots and animal carcasses for thousands of years, it contains a lot of toxic gases, everyone takes an antidote pill first to prevent it" said, and put one in his mouth.

Everyone hurriedly took the pill into their mouths, and a cool smell rose in their mouths and went straight into their brains, immediately dispelling the dull feeling that made people dizzy.

Seeing that everyone was holding the antidote pill, Grandpa raised his hand and pointed to the vast swamp in front of him and said, "According to the older generation, this was a forest thousands of years ago, but then for some reason the forest disappeared, and a large number of trees gradually fell on this land. As the hot spring water behind the mountain flowed in and the water level in the ground rose over the years, this large swamp gradually formed in this plain."

The old man said, raised his feet and walked a few steps forward, then raised the bamboo pole in his hand, and gently inserted it into the swamp, "poof", the bamboo pole more than two meters long was inserted into the mire at once.

Xiao Ya and the others stared at the bamboo pole deep in the mud with wide eyes, and Lingling exclaimed, "My mother, so soft? ”

Grandpa raised his hand to pull up the bamboo pole, turned his face and pointed to the front to look at a few people and said: "The soil and rotten things on this ground have been invaded by thousands of years of stagnant water, and this ground has long formed a bottomless silt. Be extremely careful when walking here, as if you are not careful, you will be swallowed up by the mud below. When I came here, I saw with my own eyes a huge antelope being chased by a leopard, and ran into this swamp in a panic, and the antelope had just run in front of it for more than 20 meters, and then fell into the mud below with the leopard that had caught up, and in the blink of an eye, the two huge antelope and the leopard were swallowed up alive by the mud below."

When everyone heard Grandpa's words, there was a nervous look on their faces, Xiaoya and Lingling held the hands of the two little girls tightly, lest they be disobedient and run into the swamp in front, and several people's eyes followed Grandpa's bamboo pole and looked ahead.

The endless swamp is dotted with puddles of different sizes, and the puddles are surrounded by clusters of weeds, and between the grasses are bare patches of dark brown, rancid soil, and the stagnant water of the puddles is black and brown, and the blackened stagnant water is like a black mirror in the sun, flashing with a black shimmer, and the swamp is muddy everywhere as far as the eye can see.

Wisps of dark gray mist drifted in the distant puddles, and on some overgrown meadows, lonely trees stood crooked, and not a single leaf could be seen on the tangled branches. The twisted trunks and the dead branches of the ** look particularly hideous and terrifying in this silent swamp of black water.

The whole swamp is like a black-green silent Dead Sea, and there are no unique mountain ups and downs in sight, and the birds and beasts on the swamp are extinct, and the muddy scene is boundless.

Xiao Ya and the others had just come from the vibrant hot springs, and when they saw a qiqi in front of them, they all felt a layer of goosebumps on their bodies, and there was no life in the endless mire, as if they were in a barren apocalypse.

Everyone frowned for a while, no one thought that in the depths of this vibrant mountain, there was such a dead silence and terrifying place. Xiao Jingyi and Shanshan saw such a terrifying scene for the first time, and they unconsciously leaned their bodies against Xiao Ya and Lingling, their little faces turned pale, and their eyes were full of fear.

The three leopards were also lying quietly on the rocks at this time, staring at the swamp in front of them with shiny eyes, and they seemed to have a nervous feeling.

The old man turned his head to look at everyone and said, "We mountain people call this place a Jedi, people and beasts are rare, and birds don't come to!" No living creatures are seen all year round. Mountain hunters know this place, and when they come to this vicinity, they will avoid it from afar."

He said that he looked up at the blue sky and white clouds overhead, and then said: "You look at this place now and calmly, but in fact, there is great danger inside. Not only does it smell bad and dangerous, but the climate is unpredictable, and the climate is completely different from behind the mountain. If you catch up with spring, autumn and summer, here is a blue sky and white sun, a moment of wind and rain, a moment of lightning and thunder, and the hail the size of an egg can fall from the top of the head at any time. Once humans and beasts strayed here, they are very likely to fall into a bottomless quagmire and never see the light of day."

When the old man said this, he turned around and looked at the mountain thousands of meters behind the mountain, and said leisurely: "Fortunately, there is this mountain behind us, which blocks the smell of this place and this huge swamp. Our ancestors chose to settle here because it was inaccessible and relatively safe."

After listening to Grandpa's words, everyone turned their heads to look at the mountain behind them, and then they realized that they had lived here for so long, but they had never smelled the smell of here, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts for the wisdom of the ancestors of the Wan family. In the era of war and chaos, this mountain was not a peaceful pure land, and settling down close to this place where people and beasts are rarely visited is indeed a safe haven to escape the war.

Grandpa turned his head and said to a few people: "Let's go in and have a look in a while, remember: if you want to lift your true qi and use the light gong body method to walk inside, you must step on the weedy meadow on the edge of the puddle, and before lifting your feet, you must use a bamboo pole to check whether the mud under the meadow in front is solid." Once you stumble into the mire, don't struggle, and try to stretch your body as flat as possible to avoid sinking deeper and deeper. Xiaoya and Lingling don't go in yet, you take the two children outside and remember the route we walked."

The old man said and bent down to pull up his trouser legs, straightened up and took a deep breath, waved at the three leopards, raised his feet and walked towards the swamp, and the three leopards immediately straightened up and jumped out with their grandfather.

Wan Lin and the others also rolled up their trouser legs, each observed the swamp in front of them, and walked forward with their feet scattered, while Xiaoya and Lingling quickly took out a map and marked the route of several people on the map with a pen.

The old man cautiously walked out of the front for a kilometer or so, stopped and turned around to watch the movements of Wanlin and the others. Several people are holding bamboo poles in their hands from time to time to point to the meadow in front of them, and their feet are quickly crossing on the meadows one by one, and each step makes a sound of "fluttering" and "fluttering", and they walk extremely carefully.

The old man stood in front and laughed, and shouted to Wan Lin: "Lin'er, let's go to the front and take a look" As he spoke, his right arm was raised, and the bamboo pole in his hand was suddenly thrown out to the side, followed by his tall body and jumped out of the grass and jumped forward like a smoke.

With the old man's shout, Wan Lin also threw off the bamboo pole in his hand, jumped up and jumped out behind the old man. One
