Chapter 169: Barren Mountain and Lonely Grave

Suddenly, the mountain wind struck.

I quickly crouched down and held down the rune paper that was almost blown away by the wind.

When I picked it up, I saw exactly six.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? I picked up the yellow charm in surprise and looked at it carefully.

"Yes, the strangest thing is, how could that old monk know that there are six of us?" Zhang Qiang stared at the yellow talisman in my hand.

"Could it be that he is really a high-ranking monk?" Du Deming frowned.

"Maybe it's a possibility." Situ Cao also walked over and looked at the rune paper in my hand: "I don't know, what is the use of these things." ”

"I guess it's just to keep you safe or something, right? Perhaps, he really saw that something strange was happening to us? I held the rune paper, thought about it, and looked at a few people again: "In this way, the rune paper should be good for us, each of us carries one with us, and the remaining two, I will hand them over to Wang Yi and Situ Cao at that time." ”

The crowd nodded.

So, I handed over three of the runes to Zhang Qiang, Du Deming, and Zhao Qiqi respectively.

After doing all this, I looked at the time and decided to listen to the old monk and go down the trail from the back mountain.

The four of us walked around the temple, and finally behind the temple, we found the path that the old monk said was hidden in the weeds.

"Let's go!" I glanced at the other three and walked in first.

In summer, the mountain trails are overgrown with weeds, and the calls and chirping of unknown wild birds are constantly heard in my ears.

Not only that, but there are many forks in the road on the way down.

Intuitively, I chose the one that looked like the most footprints.

Rao is like this, the path is still getting narrower and narrower, and after walking down for more than forty minutes, the road in front of him is almost submerged by weeds, Zhang Qiang finally deflated.

"Gao Wei, in fact, I wanted to ask just now, why do you believe the old monk's words so much? He told us to take the path, so let's take the path? Isn't it strange that we have to go down the back mountain when there is a big road to not take? Zhang Qiang's face wrinkled in confusion.

"yes, and what do he mean by that? He seemed to know something, but he wouldn't say it. What a strange old monk. Du Deming also nodded, and did not refute Zhang Qiang's words for the first time.

"Perhaps...... It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he can't say it? Zhao Qiqi touched his chin and thought.

"Actually, I don't know why I listened to that monk, but my intuition told me that he shouldn't mean to harm us." I thought about it and said.

"Hey, I don't know if he harmed us, I just know that we've been on this mountain road for nearly an hour now! Are you sure we can really go down the mountain if we go on like this? Zhang Qiang had a worried look on his face.

When I heard this, I paused.

Turning his head to look behind him.

Suddenly, I found that the way I came had disappeared!

"Where's the road?" My eyes widened in disbelief: "What about the road we just walked down?" ”

"Huh?" When Zhang Qiang and the others heard this, they looked back.

Behind us are dense weeds and bushes, where else is there any road!?

Several people turned their heads to look behind them in a daze.

Until a locust tree on the left, suddenly, a black bird swooped into the sky and let out a terrible howl.

That's when we reacted.

The road we walked just now is completely gone.

A cool breeze hit, and everyone shivered.

"Hey, why do I feel a little wrong!" Zhang Qiang looked around with a strange expression.

"Let's ...... You can't get lost in the mountains, right? Du Deming's face was also a little ugly.

I glanced at my surroundings: "Don't panic, as long as we keep going down, we shouldn't get lost, let's go again!" ”

Suppressing the strange feeling inside, I comforted several others.

"Well, according to me, we shouldn't have listened to that old monk in the first place, who knows if he is a good person or not." Zhang Qiang sighed and muttered behind his back.

"Not necessarily." As I continued to walk down, I glanced sideways at him: "I still believe in my sixth sense, the old monk should be trying to guide us somewhere......

I wanted to say something, but Zhao Qiqi interrupted me.

"Look, what's that?!" She shouted as she pointed to the front right.

When we heard this, we immediately looked in the direction that Zhao Qiqi was pointing.

At this glance, I only felt a chill coming out of my heart.

There, on the edge of a grassy dirt slope, a huge solitary grave stood.

It was as if it was waiting for us.

"I ...... Me, my, that's too wrong, isn't it? When Zhang Qiang saw the lonely grave, he immediately trembled with fright.

"Why is there a grave here?" Du Deming opened his mouth, and finally found his voice.

In the deep mountains surrounded by no people, the sudden appearance of a grave once again increased the fear in everyone's hearts.

I froze, and finally ignored Zhang Qiang's obstruction and walked towards the tomb.

The other people glanced at each other, and finally walked over slowly.

When I got closer to the tomb, I saw that there was no inscription on the tombstone.

In other words, it's a nameless tomb.

"Why isn't this tomb engraved?" I looked at the tombstone and there was something strange.

"Perhaps, the person who helped build this tomb did not know the name of the deceased? If you think about it, there are often such graves on the side of the road, could it be for this reason? After thinking about it, Du Deming replied.

Zhao Qiqi listened to the conversation between several of us, turned around, and walked around to the back of the tomb.

She reached out and picked up a small handful of dirt, then frowned slightly.

"Qiqi, what's wrong?" Seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something, I hurriedly walked over and asked.

Zhao Qiqi glanced at me: "This tomb seems to have been built not long ago, and the soil is still new." ”

"What?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I ran to the back of the grave and picked up a little dirt to look at it.

Really.

As Zhao Qiqi said.

This tomb must have been built recently.

"Cultivated? Why? Zhang Qiang also showed a surprised expression: "Who would build a tomb in such a remote place?" Aren't you worried about not being able to worship? ”

I listened to Du Deming's words and was stunned.

In the midst of the lightning, a terrible thought came to mind.

I turned around stiffly, staring straight at them: "Could it be, there is no one in this tomb at all, there is something that wants to kill us and put it in here, which can also explain why there is no name on the tombstone." ”

"Ga~~~!"

As soon as I finished speaking, several crows flew up from a tree into the sky.
