There were about seven or eight of them.

In addition to the wine gourd on his waist, Cao Jun also carried a black iron spear in his hand.

This was bought at the county blacksmith shop by asking the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion before leaving.

The craftsmanship of the county town is naturally not exquisite, but the spear is also twenty or thirty pounds, and it is very safe to hold it in your hand.

Liu Zhutou's group, in addition to the cross-knife on his waist, each brought a few clay pots and some fire-starting things.

This was used to collect the remains of the victims.

Cao Jun didn't say anything if he saw it.

In addition, it was the Liu family hunter who had escaped his life before, and he was in a heavy mood along the way, leading the way in front alone.

Coming out of the back street of Qinghe County, I turned on the mountain road and went up the back mountain.

However, the mountain behind it is like a fallen old poplar tree, top-heavy, in a straight line.

This side near Qinghe County is its feet, the trees are not dense, and small animals are rare.

There is still more than a day to go before the accident of Orion.

After a few people went up the mountain road, the temperature suddenly became cooler, and there was no scorching heat in summer.

The further you go up the mountain, the more pedestrians along the way disappear, and the chirping of birds and unknown animals increases.

At first, everyone listened to it and thought it was funny.

Especially the group of fast catchers, getting together to talk and laugh, it is not like going to investigate the case, but like going on a spring outing.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with looking at it that way.

Cao Jun had already guessed their routine...... When they arrived at the scene of the incident, they gathered some of the things that started the fire, burned the victim's remains, and then put some ashes in a clay pot and took them home to hand over the task to receive a reward.

Although it is more dangerous than the spring outing, it also earns more.

That's why the crowd catches up and is in a good mood.

Cao Jun was also like them at first, with the mentality of coping with errands mostly, just walking, and his mood slowly became cautious.

He was left alone at the end, took the opportunity to apply two drops of cow's urine to his eyelids, and when he came to a high ground, he raised his eyes and looked at the black smoke that hung all over the mountains and forests.

Especially in the middle of the mountain, the black gas is the thickest.

Black gas, also known as death gas or foolish gas.

Cao Jun was secretly taken aback.

He waved his hand and called Liu Zhutou in the fast catcher, but he didn't dare to be careless, and asked cautiously: "Liu Zhutou, is there a rumor of haunting in this mountain?" ”

"Haunted?"

Liu Zhutou's face was full of strange looks.

"Why did the master say this? Is there anything wrong? ”

Cao Jun shook his head.

His aura technique is still in its infancy, and even if there are some unexpected discoveries, it is not easy to elaborate on them. Moreover, it is still broad daylight at this time, and it is not appropriate to say it plainly.

Once the morale of the army is chaotic, it will be difficult for the team to lead.

After walking for another two miles, Liu Zhutou pointed to the tombstone under the slope and explained to Cao Jun: "What did the master ask before? ”

Cao Jun saw that those tombstones were both new and old, crooked and slanted all over the slope, and some of the graves were still placed in front of the dried tributes, and the doubts in his heart were even stronger.

"Master, do you know, in this Qinghe County, not every family is as rich as the Liu family, after the death of the rich man, he naturally has his own ancestral grave to be buried, but what about the family who has no money and no land? It can only be buried in the back mountain. ”

As he spoke, he passed a newly built cemetery on the side of the road, when he suddenly kicked his naughty foot and kicked a new blue tribute in front of the tombstone to the ground, and several dried fruits rolled all over the ground.

The other few catchers also thought that their leaders were enlivening the atmosphere, giving a few people courage, and suddenly shouted loudly: "I only heard that there have been fox spirits in this back mountain, how can there be any ghosts, even if there are, the ghosts are still afraid of the wicked, but Liu Zhutou underestimated us." ”

Cao Jun's brows furrowed unconsciously.

They don't know yet, but he knows the powerful relationship inside.

This is the world of A Chinese Ghost Story.

Not to mention ghosts, even dryads and ghost generals all exist.

The more these catches are expressed, the heavier Cao Jun's heart becomes.

When passing by the new grave where Liu Zhutou kicked over the tribute, Cao Jun subconsciously looked at it and saw that the tombstone was neatly engraved with the words 'Therefore Zhenyi Yan Cemetery'.

Cao Jun just glanced at it, immediately waved his left hand, and said secretly, "Travelers passing the ground, if there is any disturbance, please forgive me." ”

The group used knives and guns to open the way, but they did not encounter any trouble along the way.

From noon, I walked until dusk and came to a ruined temple.

The Orion, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

"After the previous hurdle, I officially entered the back mountain, master, you guys, it's getting late, and you can only stay here for one night tonight."

After Orion finished speaking, he skillfully went into the temple and found some dry wood from behind a half-collapsed Buddha statue.

He carried an iron pot with him on his back.

Then he disappeared with the pot for a while, and when he came back, the pot was already half filled with water.

Orion placed the iron pot between a few pieces of rubble, added some firewood underneath, and when the water in the pot boiled, he quickly took out a cloth bag from his bosom.

It turned out that there was some millet inside.

After a while, the rice porridge was ready.

The crowd gathered together, drinking rice porridge, eating dry and hard pancakes and lean jerky, while talking about some interesting stories and meat jokes in Qinghe County.

After a while, it was completely dark.

The Orion knew that Cao Jun was noble, and after he finished eating, he led him to a high platform behind the Buddha statue.

There was a rotten bedding on the high platform.

Orion flatteringly explained: "Master, this place can shelter from both the wind and the rain, so you can be wronged here for one night tonight." ”

After Orion finished speaking, he was about to leave, when Cao Jun suddenly grabbed his hand and cautiously advised: "You rest next to me at night, I always feel that something is wrong with this broken temple." ”

Orion was visibly taken aback when he heard this, and stammered, "Master, this... This ruined temple is a resting place that we often come to when we go out hunting, and there will be no problem. ”

Cao Jun only cautiously persuaded, "When you go out, be careful, don't forget how your companions died." ”

Hearing Cao Jun mention several of his tragically dead companions, Orion fell silent for a moment.

Taking advantage of the fact that the crowd was about to frolic in front of the fire outside, Cao Jun visited the ruined temple again.

The ruined temple is not large, there is only one hall in total, built on a raised rock.

The more I looked, the more surprised I became.

Although Taishang Qi Refining is a Taoist book, it also has a simple dabbling in the topography of Feng Shui.

It's a lonely place!

Behind this broken temple is a ravine, but also the hunting account in the 'kan', the ravine in the yin qi is particularly strong, standing on the side of the broken temple and looking back, the ravine seems to have become a big mouth of people.

And the raised mountain stone that carries this broken temple has become a front tooth in front of the big mouth.

Everyone lived in a ruined temple, as if they had become prey to the door.

How can it not be awkward?

Although Cao Jun doesn't understand feng shui, he understands some superficial truths.

The ancients cultivated temples, either for incense, for worship, or for suppression.

There is no shop in front of the village here.

If it is for incense and worship, where does the crowd come from?

As for the few Buddha statues built in the hall in this dilapidated temple, they do not have the slightest sense of solemnity, but give people a sense of incompatibility.

Dare to ask, which temple has a Buddha statue with four arms?

In addition to the black qi that he had seen with the Qi Hope technique before, combined with these small details that had been discovered now, the bad premonition in Cao Jun's heart became stronger and stronger.

He even faintly began to regret it.

I knew that this Qinghe County was not comfortable, so it was better to stay in the prison in Guobei County.
