"Why is that?" Professor Jin asked.

"That's because the people around here know the bottom of this foggy mountain." Gong Jianguo said.

"What's the bottom line?" This time it was my turn to ask.

Gong Jianguo said: "In this Hidden Fog Mountain, the local people also have a name, called Ghost Gate. Don't look at the perennial fog in the mountain, but as long as someone steps into the mountain, the fog inside will immediately become thicker, and it may be possible to see a distance of more than ten meters, but as soon as a person enters the mountain, he may be able to see a distance of four or five meters in front of him, and the visibility drops sharply. Anyone who enters the Hidden Fog Mountain has never come out alive! ”

Uncle Xu frowned: "It's really fake, so mysterious?" ”

"I don't know if it's true or not, but the local people say so." Gong Jianguo said.

At this time, Jiang Jie and Gong Jianguo's secretary Jiao Manfeng had already taken their seats. Jiang Jie sat between the altar and Professor Jin, while I sat on the other side of the altar, which was the seat arranged by the altar itself, just to be closer to Jiang Jie.

At this time, I only heard Jiao Manfeng say: "Mr. Xu, what our boss said is indeed the truth. The common people here have been singing a smooth mouth, called 'Hidden Fog Mountain, Ghost Gate, Black and White Impermanence Standing Inside, as long as you step into the mountain gate, ten people come in and nine will not return.' ’”

Professor Jin asked with doubts, "Since the Hidden Fog Mountain is so terrifying, how did you find the clues to the palace?" Did you send someone in to find it? ”

Gong Jianguo took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "I haven't sent anyone in." The Hidden Fog Mountain is so evil that I can't risk my life to enter it. ”

"Then how did you get the clue that there is a palace in the mountains?" Professor Jin asked.

"Of course, it also came from the mouths of nearby villagers!" Gong Jianguo said.

"Ten people came in and nine didn't return...... Well, there should still be people who can come out alive, and it seems that it should come out of the mouths of people who came out alive? Jar said.

Gong Jianguo said: "It's true, but I haven't found out who has been in the past and walked out safely...... However, the people near the Hidden Fog Mountain have been circulating such a legend, saying that in the depths of the Hidden Fog Mountain, there is a palace, called Luo Wang Palace, there are countless gold and silver treasures in the palace, rich and rival the country, but there is a ghost marshal there is in charge of guarding, it has countless ghost generals Yin soldiers, anyone who wants to enter the Hidden Fog Mountain to fight the idea of treasure, will be left in the mountain by these Yin soldiers, become a member of them, forever guard the treasure, not to be born. ”

"Luo Palace?" Professor Jin frowned and thought about it.

"Cut~" Tanzi sneered, "This is just nonsense!" If there are really any Yin soldiers and ghost generals in the Hidden Fog Mountain, how can it be possible for people who have seen the palace to come out alive? Since someone saw the palace and came out alive, it means that there is no Yin soldier to guard it. Those who say this are foolish! ”

I interjected, "Then it depends on what happens to the man who has a palace in the mountains?" If it is suddenly rich and expensive, it means that there is indeed treasure in the palace, and if you still eat bran vegetables like before entering the mountain, the treasure is also groundless...... Of course, the premise of all this is that the palace does exist in the mountains. ”

"I've never heard of a King Luo here." Professor Jin said, "If there is really any Luo Wang's palace here, it means that Naluo's fief is here, but ...... I'm not impressed at all...... Either I'm lonely and unheard, or I'm made up by the people here. ”

"Do you need to talk about that? Of course it's made up! Tanzi said, "Even experts and scholars like Professor Jin have never heard of the King of Luo, who must be fake, and he is talking nonsense." ”

Professor Jin smiled and said modestly: "Then maybe there is such a King Luo in history, but I really haven't heard of it......"

"You who are engaged in academic research are always so rigorous, and you refuse to say anything to death when you are not 100% sure." Uncle Xu said with a smile.

Professor Jin smiled: "Get used to it, get used to it." You have to leave room for an explanation for what you say and do! ”

The jar whispered to me: "What room for explanation, the bad thing to say is to leave a way back for yourself." ”

I turned my head and asked Gong Jianguo: "Is this Hidden Fog Mountain really as terrifying as the legends of the people nearby?" ”

Gong Jianguo looked at Jiao Manfeng: "The reason why I brought Manfeng over this time is because he is a native of Wangu and is familiar with this place. Man Feng, you can introduce the situation to Brother Pei! ”

"Yes, boss!" Jiao Manfeng hurriedly took over the words: "Actually, this Hidden Fog Mountain is indeed quite terrifying. In the past few decades, everyone has also known the power of the Hidden Fog Mountain, so no one has ever entered the mountain to provoke, and no one has died. What is said 'ten people come in and nine don't return', this is all handed down from the older generation. Just ......"

"Just what?" I asked Jiao Manfeng.

"It's just that although no one died, there were occasional cases of livestock and poultry being lost, and they all strayed into the Hidden Fog Mountain." Jiao Manfeng said.

"Are you sure that all these livestock and poultry were lost in the mountains? It can't be stolen, right? The jar questioned.

Jiao Manfeng said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou may not be very familiar with us here. In our country, the folk customs are very simple, and although I dare not say that there is absolutely no theft, there are only a handful. ”

"Those domestic animals and poultry didn't come back after they went into the mountains?" I asked.

Jiao Manfeng saw that there was less tea in Gong Jianguo's cup, so he quickly stood up and filled it, and replied to me at the same time: "Not one!" ”

"It stands to reason that these domestic animals and poultry rarely get lost, because animals have a much stronger sense of direction, especially older animals," Professor Jin said. It's the so-called 'old horse knows the way'. ”

"Even the old horse who knows the way has not been able to get out of the Hidden Fog Mountain, it seems that there is indeed something strange in this mountain." I couldn't help but have a strong interest in this Hidden Fog Mountain. Since this Hidden Fog Mountain is so mysterious, it is even more likely that it exists to replace the Dragon Vein Palace.

"By the way, we still have a legend here, oh no, it's not a legend, it's said to be a true thing!" Gong Jianguo seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke.

Uncle Xu lit a cigarette for him, Professor Jin and himself, and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and listen to it!" ”

I saw Gong Jianguo spit out a smoke ring and took a sip of tea, as if he was going to make a tirade, and then I heard him start talking......
