Time: 2 a.m. on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

Location: Paradise Reservoir.

Weather: Warm and windy.

Xiaobai came back from the underground burial lake in the depths of the 100,000 mountains.

But the jade pendant that Jingmei gave me was also broken that night.

I thought I was dreaming, but when I slapped myself, my cheeks were hot and painful.

It's not a nightmare, it's all true.

Logically speaking, if an ordinary domestic animal falls deep in the 100,000 mountains, it is impossible to return to its owner alive.

Because that place is too dangerous, not to mention that this is still a little more than a month old.

But it escaped from there, not only did it escape, but it also returned to the Heavenly Reservoir.

I can't explain this situation in other words than the word gifted.

After all, Xiaobai is not a real domestic animal, it was picked up in the mountain temple, and it also helped me find the mountain whip left for me by the old man.

Perhaps, in a sense, it has become like a tanuki demon, a strange existence.

Either way, I'm glad it was able to escape from a hellish place like the Underground Burial Lake. I couldn't do anything to find it, and I felt guilty about it.

Only now, the joy of reunion can't drive away the worry and anxiety in my heart.

Jingmei's jade pendant was shattered, and the handwriting on the tablet also faded.

This all shows that Jingmei may have changed her or be in danger.

It's just that...... Who could threaten her life with such an existence?

Could it be the resentful rebellion of the two-headed dragon?

I opened the door and let Xiaobai climb in, and I looked at the top of heaven in the night through the wall, and the bad premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger.

The top of paradise is quiet.

It's so quiet that it's oppressive.

In the darkness, a rustling sound suddenly swept from the bottom of the mountain.

At first, it was subtle, but then it became clearer.

Before you know it, the drizzle is falling again.

The spring rain is continuous, and the cool breeze is so.

The sound of ticking from the eaves made my heart even more numb.

At this time, Xiaobai suddenly pulled my trouser leg and shouted outside the door.

In the silence of the night, its cry could be heard far away.

I looked through the open door in the direction of its barking.

I don't know if it's my own delusion, but vaguely, I noticed that there seemed to be a figure on the dark embankment looking at me, but when I looked closely, I couldn't see anything.

I took a deep breath and placed the shattered jade pendant in my pocket.

didn't go back to his room, opened the door of Lao Fei's room, and then saw him lying on the bed on all fours, snoring loudly, and the quilt fell to the ground.

Xiaobai's scream just now didn't wake him up.

I walked into the house, reached out and patted his fat face twice, and shouted, "Wake up, old fatty, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Lao Fei turned over and muttered in a daze: "Fa Fei Ding, if there is something to talk about later, Mao is noisy Lao Tzu is ......"

This guy muttered full of old vernacular, and I frowned and said, "The matter is a little serious, I can't wait for tomorrow, you hurry up." ”

However, after waiting for a while, the guy did not move, and even snored again, sleeping like a dead pig.

In desperation, I had to reach out and pinch his nose, and then cover his mouth again.

After waiting for about half a minute, Lao Fei slapped my hand away, sat up suddenly, glared at me and scolded, "What are you doing? Do you want to kill me so that you can inherit the 200,000 debt that Lao Tzu owes to the loan sharks? ”

I was stunned for a moment, and reflexively asked, "Why do you owe so much money to others?" Borrowing usury, isn't this looking for death? ”

Lao Fei stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, knowing that he was missing, and coughed dryly: "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what's the matter with me?" Huh......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Bai lying on the threshold, grinning at him, and said in surprise: "This little beast is not dead, and is back?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiaobai barked at him, as if he was about to rush over and bite him.

I was surprised in my heart, and said secretly: "Could it be that Xiaobai still remembers that Lao Fei killed his mother in the mountain temple?" ”

"Something, I don't think we can wait for Li Guodong and them tomorrow, I'm going to enter Shuanglong Cave now, are you going to go or not?" I asked in a deep voice.

"In such a hurry? Didn't you say that they should go to the thunder, and we would follow behind and reap the benefits of the fishermen? ”

"The jade pendant that Jingmei gave me is broken!" I replied, "Just now." ”

"Lao Yan, I can understand your feelings, but ......"

"No, but, I'm going up the mountain now, do you love to come."

As I spoke, I went back to my room, cleaned up briefly, and when I took a flashlight and went out with Xiaobai, I saw Lao Fei holding the shotgun I gave him before, standing on the embankment and waiting for me.

"Why are you so slow, go out and grind like a woman, hurry up."

He wore a raincoat and urged me to hurry up the mountain.

I also put on the old man's coat and rain hat, and the two of them flashlights and went straight up the mountain.

After crossing the reservoir embankment, I walked into a dense forest with a mist in front of me.

The smoke and rain are hazy and picturesque, and the two worldly people walk in it.

The old fat walked beside me, glancing at me from time to time out of the corner of his eye, with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Where did you get this rain hat from, it looks very fan, why haven't I seen it before?"

As he spoke, he groaned: "Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow, Lao Tzu will be boating and fishing in the reservoir in the future, and he will also wear such a dress, cool!" ”

I glanced at the old man, and replied helplessly: "This is something left by the old man, there was no raincoat before, and the coat I wore was woven with silk threads torn from wolf hair bark." This kind of cloth and rain hat is rare in this era, and now that the material society is rich, who will be idle and have nothing to do to weave clothes? ”

"Weaving with wolf fur? It's so extravagant, then this dress is a baby, come, let's change! "The old fat eyes are glowing green, and he is going to take off my robe.

I slapped his hand away and said angrily: "It's not really wolf hair, I'm talking about a kind of tree in our local area, its bark can pull out thin lines, and the thin lines are brownish-red, we all call it wolf hair trees." ”

After explaining, I then said to Lao Fei: "I shouldn't have pulled you on this trip, but I can't trust anyone except you." Shuanglong Cave is a mysterious place to bury dragons, you better restrain your mind and be vigilant at all times, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble. ”

Lao Fei was stunned when he heard this, and then fell silent for a while, and suddenly asked after half a sound: "Lao Yan, let me ask you something, why is this place called Heavenly Mountain?" I've been to many places, and there are many places with strange scenery, but the name Paradise Mountain is really rare. Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is no more than that of many famous rivers. ”

"I don't know!"

I shook my head, Lao Fei's question really stopped me, all over the world, many mountains and rivers and place names if they are studied deeply, there are long allusions.

But I really don't know why this place is called Heavenly Mountain, and I have never asked.

"Maybe it's because of the great battle five hundred years ago, it is said that the original Heavenly Mountain was not like this, it had eighteen peaks, but later Jingmei and Daomen Heavenly Master led eighteen mountain gods to fight against the two-headed evil dragon, and nine of the peaks disappeared. Maybe it's really a fairyland like heaven in its original form. ”

"Don't be funny, that's nine mountains! Although I believe that there are ghosts and gods, it is not something that ghosts and gods can do casually to make the nine mountains disappear into thin air, do you really believe in those legends? The old fat sneered.

I shook my head: "There are many things in the world that are difficult to explain, and if you investigate everything and get to the bottom of it, people will go crazy." ”

"I suspect that your mountain god lady is your fantasy, otherwise why haven't I seen her?"

"Not a fantasy!"

I glared at the old fat and said angrily, "Do you think I have psychonoia?" ”

"It's possible!" Old Fat nodded and said in a low voice.

I took a deep breath to calm my emotions and talk to this thing, he can people off.

The best way to get along with him is to ignore him no matter what he says.

"Huh! Something is wrong, this little beast is not taking the road to the green bamboo forest! ”

I frowned, and was about to speak about him, but when I looked up and saw a bamboo forest not far ahead, I was stunned.

"This is the way to Li Guofeng's new grave!"

Talking to Lao Fei just now, Xiaobai led the way, we have been following it, I thought it knew the way to the green bamboo forest, but I didn't expect it to take us to this place unconsciously.

Under the beam of the flashlight, the tall bamboo in front of it was shrouded in mist, and the wind blew, and the bamboo swayed, making a strange creaking sound from the inside.

"Xiaobai shouldn't know Li Guofeng's new grave, because it hasn't come back at that time, and there must be a reason why it brought us here."

What happened to Mo Fei Li Guofeng's new grave?

I remembered what the ghost boy in the mountain whip said to himself before, it said that Yang Feng had entered my room with a knife and wanted to kill me.

Could it be that Xiaobai smelled Yang Feng's scent and tracked it all the way here?

Could it be that Yang Feng is ......

I had a bad guess, and at this time, Xiaobai suddenly barked wildly at the depths of the bamboo forest, as if there was something in the bamboo forest.

After crossing the bamboo forest and crossing the river is Li Guofeng's new grave, I didn't want to do much. But Li Guofeng died unexpectedly, and he was buried by the second master with a green bamboo burial method, which is not trivial.

If something happens to the place where his body is buried, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The second master once said that it must be 7749 days before the Nine Palace Bagua Mirror can completely dissolve the evil qi of Li Guofeng's corpse.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the old man.

"Let's see?" Old Fat asked.

I nodded, and the two of them and a dog quickly burrowed into the bamboo forest.

As soon as he got in, Xiaobai barked in one direction, and we looked in the direction of its barking with a flashlight, and we couldn't help but be surprised when we saw it.

Not far from us, there was a strange woman standing under the dark bamboo, because part of the vision was blocked by the bamboo, and the light problem was not very clear.

"Who's pretending to be a ghost here? Come out! The old fat clicked and loaded the shotgun, pointed at the woman and asked in a deep voice.

However, there was no response to Lao Fei's threatening question.

"Yang Feng?"

I pulled the whip from behind my back and asked again, in disbelief.

The other party hid in the bamboo forest, still motionless.

At this time, Xiao Bai rushed towards the other party.

The two of us followed closely behind, and when they came closer, I saw Xiaobai tearing off a piece of clothing hanging on bamboo.

"It turned out to be just a piece of clothing."

Lao Fei and I breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, when Lao Fei and I saw a dirt-stained shovel and a woodcutter abandoned on the ground, our faces couldn't help but change greatly......
