Section 10 Into the Mountains

Qin Feng paced back and forth restlessly in the room. What he is most worried about now is Xiao Hang. Because, Xiaohang is very likely to have entered Yuling Mountain.

Yuling Mountain is a forbidden place in the eyes of the villagers of Yuling Village. Su Xiaonuan told him this question before he came. Therefore, the worry in Su Zhengde's eyes and the hesitation on the faces of other villagers are undoubtedly because of the same problem.

Lei Minghao's mood has stabilized. Obviously, he also thought of what Qin Feng was worried about. He even regretted that he shouldn't have been so unrighteous, but when Xiaohang was bitten by Mrs. Cheng, he ran back. If something happened to Xiao Hang, he would be to blame.

The east gradually revealed the white belly of the fish, and the light penetrated into the room little by little.

Qin Feng and Lei Minghao stayed awake all night.

Bang! The door opened. Su Xiaonuan walked in.

Qin Feng saw that Su Xiaonuan's eyes were also red and swollen, and it seemed that she had not slept all night, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

After a night of consideration, Su Zhengde decided to let Uncle Bao take them to Yuling Mountain to find the missing Xiaohang. Of course, their only condition is that everyone must obey Uncle Bao's words. Regardless of the outcome of the search, it is necessary to rush back before dark.

Qin Feng understood that such a result was already Su Zhengde's last concession.

What secrets are hidden in Yuling Mountain? Not just Qin Feng, everyone was thinking about such a question.

In addition to Uncle Bao, Su Zhengde also asked a hunter named Huzi to bring his hunting dog into the mountains with them. After a brief packing, they set off.

The morning in the mountain village was a little drowsy. There were some clouds in the sky, covering the sky, forming a thin layer of mist. There was an inexplicable heaviness on everyone's face.

When leaving, Su Zhengde once again told them that no matter what the result was, they must rush back before dark.

As they progressed, the mountains on either side became steeper. The mountains are stacked on top of each other, and some unmelted snowflakes cover them, which is simply beautiful. Qin Feng couldn't help but silently praise in his heart, if this Yuling Mountain is developed into a tourist resort, it must be on par with Hangzhou West Lake.

However, the beautiful scenery is only the surface. In its depths lurks unseen dangers. Yuling Mountain, like a femme fatale, looks extremely beautiful, but it can kill people.

On the way, Uncle Bao told a long and distant story:

Yuling Village is located in front of the Baishui River and back against Yuling Mountain. The Baishui River in front of it, because of its age, has become a dry ditch. Baishui River and Yuling Mountain have also always been taboo places in Yuling Village. The ancestors here once made a warning that all villagers in Yuling Village should not climb Yuling Mountain for generations (except in emergencies).

The blessed land of Yuling was originally the tomb of the concubine of Gao Changgong, the famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty. Therefore, the entire Yuling Mountain represents inviolability. It is said that the king of Lanling not only buried his beloved concubine in this blessed land of Yuling, but also put his strange mask of victory in a hundred battles.

The curse of the blessed land of Yuling was born in response to the curse, and anyone who approached the blessed land of Yuling would be cursed.

Forty years ago, Uncle Bao came here with a team of archaeologists to carry out archaeological work. At that time, the team was led by Professor Chu Tiannan, an expert in archaeology in Nancheng. A group of six of them came to Yuling Village, and after several consultations with the village chief, they finally got permission. In order to be afraid of accidents, the village chief specially found a few hunters from the village to go into the mountain with them.

They successfully reached the blessed land of Yuling.

Unfortunately, just as they were about to uncover the secrets of the main burial chamber, an accident happened. First of all were the villagers, whose hounds were scurrying like crazy, and some of them died when they hit the tombstones. Then, something happened to the people in the archaeological team, and they went crazy as if they had fallen under a spell.

When Uncle Bao woke up, he was already in Yuling Village.

Regarding the rest of the archaeological team, the old village chief just sighed and said nothing. The disheartened Uncle Bao couldn't accept this fact, so he stayed in Yuling Village.

Uncle Bao's words were confirmed by the accompanying Orion Huzi. Because Huzi's father was one of the villagers who followed the archaeological team into the mountain.

Now, Qin Feng and Lei Minghao finally understood why Su Zhengde had told them to rush back before dark. It turns out that forty years ago, there was really a curse here.

Walking on the mountain road of Yuling Mountain again, Uncle Bao seems to have returned to the way he was forty years ago. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were full of passion and fighting spirit.

Time is unforgiving.

At that time, they were all teenagers. It was because of his youth that he followed Professor Chu here. Now, he still vividly remembers the first time he was here. The old head of Yuling Village led the villagers to stand at the entrance of the village to welcome them. That scene, that scene, I'm afraid I will never forget it in my life.

It was the first time everyone had come to the country, and they were all very excited. Especially Zhang Yijun and Bai Jie. At that time, there were still people who coaxed them to marry in the countryside.

And the girl named Xiao Min. She wore two braided hair, and blushed whenever she spoke. Uncle Bao also secretly told Ding Xiaofei that if this archaeological incident was successful, he would definitely confess to Xiao Min. Time seemed to have been pushed to forty years ago, and Xiao Min stood in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

At this time, the hound next to Huzi suddenly barked loudly at Uncle Bao's back, as if there was someone behind him. Qin Feng walked over in horror and gently grabbed Uncle Bao's arm, carefully looking around.

A dazzling halo of light stabbed down and refracted in every eye. Suddenly, it seemed to be pitch black. Qin Feng rubbed his eyes, and a strong fragrance crept into his nose.

Qin Feng heard someone shouting in his ear. Gently, softly, it seemed to be a mother's whisper, and it seemed to be a lover's whisper. Qin Feng unconsciously took a step.

He saw his mother standing in front of him, smiling at him.

"Mom, is that you?" Qin Feng's eyes widened with joy.

Mom didn't speak, just stood in front and smiled and nodded at him.

This scene, Qin Feng has been looking forward to countless times in his dreams. He always believed that one day his mother would come back and take him away with him. The world fell silent in an instant, so quiet that only the sound of the wind remained.

Qin Feng walked slowly, and suddenly someone beside him gently pulled him. Qin Feng looked back and saw that it was Su Xiaonuan. Su Xiaonuan stood beside him with a charming smile on her face. As beautiful as your mother's smile.

Qin Feng happily looked at the scene in front of him, and the whole world instantly stood still.

Su Xiaonuan just smiled, like a painting.

"Wangwang." Suddenly, a clear dog bark came to my ears. Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came back to his senses. Look at the foot again, it turns out to be a mountain cliff.

Your own feet are just a step away from the cliff. Qin Feng was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly walked up with a roll.

Taking two steps forward, Qin Feng saw Uncle Bao and Huzi hugging each other. Both of them had sharp stones in their hands and were about to smash them at each other's heads.

"Uncle Bao, Huzi, what are you doing?" Qin Feng shouted loudly. Then, they saw the hounds next to them crashing towards them like lightning.

Uncle Bao and Huzi crooked, and the two of them hit the ground together.

On the opposite side, Su Xiaonuan's sharp exclamation suddenly came. Only then did Qin Feng see that Su Xiaonuan was also sitting on the ground, his eyes closed, and his hands waving wildly.

Qin Feng hurriedly ran over, picked up Su Xiaonuan, and slapped her face. Su Xiaonuan's waving hands slowly stopped, and then slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, Uncle Bao and Huzi behind him had already come to their senses, and they all stood up.

What about Lei Minghao? Qin Feng was stunned in his heart, and he hurriedly stood up and looked around. Huzi also seemed to notice that there was one less person, and he walked forward with the hound.

"He's here." A moment later, Huzi stood in front and shouted at them.

Qin Feng helped Su Xiaonuan and walked over with Uncle Bao.

"The ancient jade is open in the wind, and the blood and rain of the tomb word nine phoenixes come out. Hey! The eyes are open, and the nine phoenixes are out. Hey! Lei Minghao lay on the ground, laughing and screaming.

Hearing the words in Lei Minghao's mouth, Uncle Bao sat on the ground all of a sudden.

Huzi hurriedly stepped forward to pinch Lei Minghao's people, Lei Minghao's body twitched, and slowly woke up.

Thankfully, everyone is safe. Qin Feng looked around suspiciously, and soon found out where the reason was. It turned out that a small rocky slope next to them was overgrown with the same plants as next to the ancient trees.

That is, the Rob Demon Grass that resurrected Cheng Pozi.

No wonder, everyone was like crazy just now. They all revealed the deepest side of their hearts. For example, Qin Feng saw his mother and Su Xiaonuan.

However, what do the two sentences Lei Minghao just said mean? As if hearing the word "Eyelid", Qin Feng frowned.

Qin Feng had an indescribable feeling. From Lei Minghao's appearance in Yuling Village to the scene that happened just now, Qin Feng always felt that he had a big problem. The first was the ghost photographed in the dormitory, then he and Xiaohang followed him to Yuling Village, and then met the resurrected Cheng Pozi in the middle of the night.

It all seems too coincidental!

If you assume, Lei Minghao also came here for a purpose. Well, it all seems to make sense. But what is his purpose?

Everyone was silent. Only Su Xiaonuan held Qin Feng's hand tightly, looking uneasy.

Lei Minghao also seemed to notice that everyone's attitude towards him was a little abnormal. A man walked quietly behind, walking a little slowly. Maybe he's thinking about whether he should tell someone else.

Suddenly, a cold hand suddenly rested on his shoulder. Lei Minghao was startled, looked back, and couldn't help but scream loudly.

A ragged, horrible-looking monster stood behind him, two rolled eyes staring straight at them. The flesh on both arms had begun to peel off, revealing Bai Sensen's bones.

Huzi's hound stood in front, barking and looking warily at the monster opposite.

"Cheng Pozi, Cheng Po Zi." Uncle Bao suddenly screamed.

Everyone was stunned, even the hounds seemed to recognize it, and the barking stopped.

She really became a mother-in-law. Half of her face was rotten, like a zombie. Mrs. Cheng also seemed to recognize Uncle Bao, she slowly stretched out her hand, and then let out a low whining sound in her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

"Whew!" Suddenly there was a sharp whimper from inside the mountain. It was like a thunderbolt in the middle of the night, which made the hairs on everyone's body stand up.

Cheng Pozi on the opposite side heard the sound, and her mood suddenly became irritable. Her two shriveled eye sockets instantly shot a fierce gaze. It seemed that in an instant, the hound next to Huzi barked at her like crazy.

Qin Feng just wanted to speak, but Mrs. Cheng swooped down on Lei Minghao's side and grabbed him. Lei Minghao was so frightened that he even forgot to shout, so he was carried by Mrs. Cheng and ran into the mountains like crazy.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared in front of their eyes.

It all came too suddenly. When the others came back to their senses, Mrs. Cheng and Lei Minghao had already gone into the woods in front of them and disappeared.

A thunderclap rang out in the sky. The originally clear blue sky turned up red clouds, and smoke slowly rolled from the west to the east.

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. The red clouds seemed to be a curtain covering the sky, as if it was about to cover the whole sky.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Bao's gray beard at the corner of his mouth trembled violently. He looked at the red clouds in the sky and muttered, "The red clouds are bloody." ”

Geography has introduced a type of geology that lies between the tropics and subtropics. It is extremely cold during the day and extremely hot at night. The temperature is so contrasting that the humidity here is very different from the humidity in ordinary areas. Whenever it alternates between hot and cold, the clouds turn red and sweep over the entire area. Some people call it the "Red Cloud Blood".

Uncle Bao has always thought that this strange geographical phenomenon was inadvertently caused by nature. When they first came to Yuling Village for archaeology, Professor Chu, who led the team, once told them about the archaeologists' research on the blessed land of Yuling. Among them, there is the legend of 'Red Cloud Blood'.

Theoretically and scientifically, the location of the Yuling blessed land does not alternate between cold and heat. The only difference from the outside world is that Yuling Mountain is in the shape of a round bottle. Such a mountain shape is a great taboo for the ancient tomb selection. They believed that such a mountain-shaped structure would prevent the souls of the dead from ascending to heaven.

However, no one knows why King Lanling would bury the woman he loved so much here.

History has not said much about this woman. It's just that when the king of Lanling returned triumphantly, Emperor Gao Zhan of the Northern Qi Dynasty gave him twenty beautiful women, but the king of Lanling left only one woman, and this woman was later buried in the "Yuling blessed land".

Professor Chu said that in order to bury his lover deep underground and not be disturbed by the outside world, King Lanling put the mask he wore on his face all year round in the splendid pavilion, and invited a Xuanmen magician to cast a spell in the "Yuling Blessed Land". Some people say that "red clouds and blood" is one of them.

It's a pity that the archaeological team didn't see it that year. Therefore, Uncle Bao felt that those curses were actually just some pretenses to stop tomb robbing.

However, now, he has seen the "red cloud of blood" with his own eyes. He finally understood the meaning of what Professor Chu said back then. We have opened a door to hell, he said. At that time, Professor Chu's expression was sad and desperate.

The red clouds are getting closer. Qin Feng and Su Xiaonuan, who didn't know the situation, stood side by side, looking at the red cloud with excited eyes.

Uncle Bao didn't dare to think about it, and shouted loudly: "Everyone bury your head in the ground." Huzi, take care of your dog. ”

Looking at Uncle Bao's frightened gaze, although Qin Feng was puzzled, he didn't dare to slack off, and pulled Su Xiaonuan to bury his head under his body. When it was over, Qin Feng didn't forget to say humorously: "Are we going to be ostriches?" ”

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a rumbling sound. As if a huge air flow was passing through his body, Qin Feng wanted to straighten up, but he was fiercely pressed to the ground. Su Xiaonuan, who was on the other side, seemed to be suffering the same pain. Qin Feng stretched out his hand to pull her, but the air flow became bigger and bigger, and his head fell sharply and he fainted.
