"Have you rested? There is a herdsman's settlement in front of us, and we may be able to grab some hot leftovers to eat now. Yang Cheng said as he turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, although the light was not strong, but it gave everyone a sense of security.

The thing that human beings are most afraid of is darkness, because darkness represents the unknown, human beings have a strong curiosity about the unknown, but they are also full of fear, and the feeling of uncertainty is the most difficult to accept.

Ye Yanbing packed up his luggage and stood up from the ground: "Let's go!" Rush to the front in one go! ”

Yang Cheng held up his mobile phone and helped the mountain girl up, and the four of them continued to move forward.

The closer he got to the herdsmen's quarters, the stronger the feeling that something was wrong in Yang Cheng's heart, and he gradually heard some noises, and the dull roars of cattle and sheep sounded from time to time, as if they were afraid of something.

Ye Yanbing and Chen Qingzhi also seemed to sense this abnormality, and suddenly stopped and looked at Yang Cheng.

"Master, is there any situation ahead?"

"Mr. Yang, something is wrong with this feeling! It's past eight o'clock in the evening, why is it still so noisy, and if you listen carefully, there are still children's cries. ”

Yang Cheng shook his head in confusion, how could he not hear the voice Chen Qingzhi heard? It's just that he can't figure out the reason for this for the time being, so he has been silent.

"If you go any further, you might be able to see what's going on."

Ye Yanbing and Chen Qingzhi each responded, followed in the footsteps of Yang Cheng and Shanmei, and walked deeper forward.

When he was only more than fifty meters away from the herdsmen's residential area, Yang Cheng waved his hand and motioned for Ye Yanbing and them to stop. At such a close distance, Yang Cheng could see clearly - the cattle and sheep were roaring uneasily in the circle, rushing back and forth, almost breaking out of the fence, and a few young herdsmen with a few Tibetan mastiffs went to stop them, but the seemingly fierce Tibetan mastiffs still did not have the usual majesty at this time, and they were reluctant to follow behind the herdsmen, and their spirits were even more sluggish.

In the large courtyard of the residential area, several elderly herdsmen were kneeling and worshipping in the distance, chanting words in their mouths, which Yang Cheng could not understand, but felt that there was a strong sense of piety.

"Let's take a look."

Yang Cheng took the lead and a minute later, he arrived outside the herdsman's settlement. For the arrival of strangers like Yang Cheng, those herdsmen seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and soon several women came over.

"Are you here to spend the night?"

Yang Cheng nodded.

"We often have tourists here to stay overnight, and there are a few empty rooms, so come over quickly." The woman greeted warmly, but Yang Cheng could see that behind this enthusiasm, they were unwilling to let Yang Cheng and others disturb the old man who knelt and kowtowed in the courtyard.

"Is this a ritual that can't be done?" Yang Cheng thought secretly in his heart.

followed the women into the guest room, and the smell of butter tea rushed to his face, which made Yang Cheng enjoy it very much.

"You can rest here tonight, and you will have breakfast tomorrow morning." One of the slightly younger women said.

Yang Cheng smiled back politely and looked around, the space in the guest room is really large, not to mention four people, even if it is ten people to sleep, it is more than enough.

Seeing that Yang Cheng was very satisfied, those people were about to leave, but Yang Cheng hurriedly stopped them, hesitated for a while, and then asked: "We are new here, and we don't know much about the customs and habits here, so we want to ask what is going on outside?" ”

The woman's face changed suddenly, and then she shook her head helplessly, and said with a sad look in her eyes: "Actually, it's not something that can't be said, a few hours ago, a large area of purple gas appeared in the east of Phoenix Mountain, although purple gas is very common in this area, but this time it is a little purple and black, I am afraid it is a bad omen, we herdsmen are a group that depends on the sky for food, so I want to do some prayers and bless no natural disasters." ”

"A few hours ago?" Yang Cheng thought secretly, "At that time, we were descending the mountain, and in front of us was the west, no wonder we didn't notice the scene behind us!" Shouldn't purple qi coming from the east be an auspicious omen? Why is there a scene of purple and black again? Yang Cheng was very puzzled, so he asked the sacrificial spirit a few words, and the sacrificial spirit said that it was not very clear, so Yang Cheng had to give up first.

"You guys rest first, and we won't bother." The woman seemed to think that she had said too much, so she quickly diverted the topic.

"It's okay, it's really tiring to go up and down the mountain."

"Then we'll leave first." So saying, the women walked out, not forgetting to gently close the wooden door.

Yang Cheng didn't speak until he saw the figures of those women walking away, "It seems that something big is going to happen in this Kunlun Mountain!" ”

"I've heard a lot about purple qi coming from the east, but I've never heard of such a scene as purple with black!" Chen Qingzhi opened the door again and looked east, but at this time the sky had become dark, and except for a few stars twinkling, there was no scene in sight.

After more than half an hour, the noise outside gradually stopped, the low roar of cattle and sheep also stopped abruptly, and the Tibetan mastiffs were majesticly running in the residential area, as if they were depressed in their hearts before they were released.

"Everyone, wash up, go to sleep quickly, recuperate your spirits, and you will have to enter Kunlun Mountain tomorrow."

The location here is remote, and the shower equipment can't keep up, but fortunately, there is enough hot water, Ye Yanbing soaked his feet for half an hour before he walked out, stretched his waist, and slept on the bed with his clothes closed.

During the time when the mountain girl went to take a bath, Yang Cheng and Chen Qingzhi went out for a walk and found that most of the lights on the herdsmen's side had been extinguished, and the children who were still crying before had finished eating and falling asleep, and the whole residential area was immersed in silence.

"Mr. Yang, in fact, it is not a good thing to live here for a lifetime, living a nomadic life, without the pressure of the city, and without the disputes on the rivers and lakes."

"But do you still have such a state of mind now?" Yang Chengfa asked.

Chen Qingzhi was stunned for a moment when asked, and then smiled bitterly: "Yes, if I have pursuits and worries in my heart, that kind of comfortable life is no longer suitable for me." ”

"Life and death, truth and illusion, killing or becoming an immortal, these are more like philosophical questions, which are placed in front of me, and I don't know where to start." Yang Cheng sighed.

"Mr. Yang, I suddenly admire you very much, although you are only in your twenties, not only do you have such a strong strength, but it is even more rare to have a state of mind that ordinary people can't match."

"Otherwise, how would I be your master!"

Chen Qingzhi was slightly stunned, and then laughed unscrupulously.
