Once the plan was agreed, we started to prepare our things, as the daylight hours were getting shorter and shorter, leaving us not much time.

Said it was preparation, but in fact, there was nothing to prepare for, and if you really encountered zombies, even if you gave me an AK47, it would be useless, so the doctor and I just casually ate some compressed biscuits to replenish our strength, after all, last night's toss was too hurtful.

After eating, the time was only less than ten o'clock, the sky was still dark, and the remaining active people were assisting Uncle Chen to prepare the materials for making talismans, and the doctor and I went back to the room to continue to rest.

In fact, since I woke up to the present, I have always had a lot of questions in my heart to ask, but because Uncle Chen has been on the side, and the doctor has made me look at me again, I have endured it, and now there are only two of us left in the room, I immediately asked the doctor what happened after that, and where did the corpse chaser go?

The doctor seemed to have expected me to ask him, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, showing a tired face, this guy helped the corpse chaser carry more than 100 corpses last night, and then he was tossed by the demon moon enough, and after returning to the inn, he was busy treating the driver's wounds, and he didn't stop for a moment, unlike me, but he slept for a while.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't bear to ask again, but he rubbed his eyes and replied: "After you led the corpses across the bridge last night, I waited for a long time and you didn't come back, and then I tried to pull the red rope, but found that the end was loose." At this time, I knew that something must have happened to you, and I wanted to find the old man, but he had already fought far away from the corpse demon and couldn't find it at all. ”

"I'm not sure what happened to you, so I don't dare to cross the bridge, so I'll have to wait for the time being. It didn't take long for the old man to come back, and I asked him to find a way to save you, but this guy was speechless, very wrong, and after questioning, I learned that you can't go to that place for living creatures, even if you pass, there is no way to come back, even the Daluo Immortals can't do it. ”

Hearing this, I was a little confused, and hurriedly interrupted the doctor and asked, "Wait a minute, did he really say that?" Didn't he say that the red rope could bring me back? ”

The doctor nodded, and answered my previous question, and said, "The red rope was given to you to give you peace of mind, if you didn't say that, would you still be so obedient as bait?" We were all taken advantage of. ”

I knew that it was impossible for the doctor to lie to me, and my heart suddenly became a little angry, damn it, the old man had already known that it was impossible to come back after crossing the bridge, and he was actually cheating on me.

I cursed in my mouth, and greeted the ancestors of the old man one by one, still feeling angry. The doctor patted me on the shoulder and comforted me that the old man still had a conscience, and the red rope he gave me was not all bluffing, and that he was able to save me later by relying on that red rope.

After the doctor's reminder, I also calmed down, thinking about the last thing I encountered on the bridge, could it be the doctor who knocked me unconscious at that time? And how did I get back here?

I asked the question in my mind, and the doctor continued, "The old man said that it was impossible for you to come back, and that you might have died over there." At that time, three corpse demons and four more appeared in the group of corpses that were led away by you, a total of seven corpse demons fled into the ancient town, the old man was anxious to deal with the corpse demons, persuaded me to leave with him, I didn't believe that you were dead, so I continued to wait in the same place, but I still didn't see you coming, and my heart sank. Just as I was about to cross the bridge to find you, the red rope tied to my hand suddenly tightened and burned badly. I sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked along the red rope to the center of the bridge, and saw that you were on the bridge, but there was something wrong with you......"

When the doctor said this, his expression was very strange, and I knew that when the doctor saw me, I was in a state of sensory confusion, and I must have looked very unbearable at that time, and it was already very good to have no incontinence. I felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly asked him what happened?

"I kept calling you after seeing your strange appearance at that time, but it didn't work, you didn't seem to hear it at all, and your reaction at the time was ...... Ahem...... I can't help it, I can only knock you out and carry it back. ”

When he said this, the doctor's reaction was even more strange, and he lifted his glasses several times in a row. This made me wonder even more, but I didn't think much of it at the time, and I didn't know until long after this incident had passed that I realized how humiliating it was to do something with my senses chaotic, but that's for later.

The doctor also crossed the bridge, but he didn't encounter the same situation as me, and after knocking me unconscious, he easily carried me back, and the corpse chaser had something to say before leaving, so that the doctor could go to him after he figured it out, and maybe he could escape.

"What does it mean to find him and get away with it?" I asked the doctor.

The doctor shook his head and couldn't say clearly, but he felt that the old man was very closely related to the whole thing, and we needed to go to him to find out.

I agree with the doctor's words, this old man is really not simple, he told the doctor that I can't come back after crossing the bridge, obviously he knows what is on the other side of the bridge, the ruins of that weird mirror ancient town have always been a thorn in my heart, I must figure it out. However, the thought of that old bastard actually lied to me and almost killed me, I really can't guarantee that I won't strangle him to death when I see him again.

Time passed quickly in the middle of the conversation, and the doctor was not in a good state and needed to rest, so I didn't ask him any more, and soon the guy fell asleep.

I slept a lot last night, and I didn't feel sleepy at all, so I went through the recent events like a movie in my mind, trying to see if there were any key places that we missed, but because there were too many things in the past few days, and it was disorganized, the more I thought about it, the more like a mess in my head, and finally I was confused, so I simply stopped thinking about it.

After dawn, I had to go to the tulou, and it was just me and the doctor, and I felt a little anxious and uneasy. According to past experience, the node forbidden land is full of crises, but as long as you are careful, there is no problem in saving your life, what is really terrible is the location of the nodes in the forbidden land, such as the ghost school in Fengyang and the ruins of the ghost school underground, as well as the sinkhole in Yeling, the so-called 'node' refers to the kind of dark abyss that can blow out the yin wind.

If Tulou is really a node, then it is likely that there will also be an abyss. When I thought of the terrible yin wind that penetrated into the depths of my soul, as well as the terrible creatures under the abyss, I felt a shudder, the first two times I entered the node to save my life, it was with the help of nobles. This time the Taoist priest is not there, and the witch boy can't continue to bless me after what happened last time, so there is a great chance that his mother will hang up this time!

Thinking of this, I suddenly became worried. When I was extremely bored, my eyes swept to Lin Yuanzhang's rag bag on the bedtable, and I couldn't help but be stunned, I didn't expect Uncle Chen to take this rag bag away.

I took the cloth bag over, and when I got the cloth bag in the mirror ancient town, I didn't have time to take a closer look at the things inside, but I just glanced at it roughly, and my attention was all attracted by Lin Yuanzhang's identity wooden card, and I didn't have a chance after that, at this time, I just took a look at whether there was anything that could be used in the bag, after all, it was left by a master, and maybe I could find two bottles of Chen Bo's corpse poison powder from it.

Thinking about it, I opened the cloth bag, which originally contained a lot of yellow charms, but I wasted them all in the coffin in Tulou Square, and the bag was slightly empty at this time. I rummaged around, but I am not a person in this way, and I always feel that the things in the cloth bag are good things that can drive away evil spirits, but I am not sure, let alone know how to use it, it seems that I have to ask Uncle Chen about it.

After rummaging for a while, my eyes were drawn to a pink notebook with locks pressed under a cloth bag. When I first found the cloth bag, I found that there was such a notebook in the cloth bag, and I wondered how a Taoist priest could have such a feminine thing, and now it seems that this notebook is likely to be the only woman who escaped from the ancient town and finally disappeared, but for some reason the notebook fell into Lin Yuanzhang's bag.

The notebook has a special digital scroll wheel lock, and the password has a total of five digits, and the pure numeric password arranged from one to nine digits can have a total of 100,000 combinations, and it is completely impossible to try one by one, but this is not difficult for me. I turned out the short knife that the doctor hid in the chest of drawers, this was taken off the zombie that killed Lin Yuanzhang, it was extremely sharp, and it was easy and pleasant to cut the cowhide sleeve used to lock the notebook, I just lightly swiped on the side, and the leather shell that wrapped the spine of the book was suddenly cut, and the notebook pages inside were also taken out by me.

I put the knife back in its sheath and was about to open it to see what was written inside, when a name caught my eye on the title page at the outermost end of the page. The moment I saw this name, my heart suddenly jumped wildly, and I couldn't believe my eyes, those three words turned out to be:

Zhang Lingjin!

Zhang Lingjin, Zhang Lingjin, immeasurably you Amitabha, the owner of this notebook turned out to be Zhang Lingjin!

I sat down on the floor, staring blankly at the name in my notebook, my mind blank.

Zhang Lingjin, the first time I saw this name, it pulled me into the treacherous quagmire of Fengyang, and almost killed me, and I still haven't found out who sent this letter to the newspaper office, which led me to embark on the road to the first node forbidden land.

The second time I saw Zhang Lingjin's name, it was on the stone pillar seal outside the Fengyang Ghost School, and the person who mentioned this name was also the person who was closely related to the original message: Zhang Juming.

If Fengyang's entourage is really a coincidence, then when I returned to my hometown and found Zhang Lingjin's message again after entering the Yeling Tiankeng, all this can no longer be explained by coincidence. Zhang Lingjin is a person shrouded in fog, and I once suspected that she and Zhang Juming were both relatives of mine, because the original letter mentioned her hometown Yeling, and both of them had the surname Zhang. However, when I asked my grandmother, she denied it, saying that she didn't know these two people, which made things even more foggy, and now this person's name appeared again, and the place where it appeared was so sensitive, that I had to wonder if Zhang Lingjin also knew about the node forbidden places, and even had been chasing these forbidden places.

Staring at the name for a long time, I still turned the page, my hands were shaking, and my mood was even more worried. According to Uncle Chen, Zhang Lingjin not only came to the ancient town and went out alive, but even brought out the inheritance of the Zhengqian faction, which shows that she is very likely to have mastered the way to leave the ancient town, and this is her note, and it is also locked, obviously there are very important things recorded in it, will it be the way to leave the ancient town?

My mind was in a mess, but when I turned the first page, I was stunned.

There was not a single word on the pages of the brand new notebook, but it was a picture drawn with black carbon pen, a topographic map with winding lines but intricate lines, marked with river lines, mountain roads, and even forest villages, the whole looked like a settlement hidden in the deep mountains and wild forests, but the focus of the map was not the village, but the waterway that extended from the village to the deep mountains. The places along the way are depicted with very obvious markers, and there are three symbols of triangle, serpentine, and circle, as well as direction markers, which look very similar to treasure maps.

Perhaps because of the limited size of the paper, this picture is not complete, I hurriedly turned the second page, and sure enough, the picture on the second page continued the direction of the water lines on the previous page, perhaps because I was worried about pollution, so the pictures were all single pages.

In order to draw such a detailed and continuous topographic map, the cartographer must have a fairly high level of drawing, and he must also be very good at geographical exploration. This made me feel very surprised, I didn't expect this woman named Zhang Lingjin to be proficient in these.

I couldn't understand the meaning of these maps, so I simply didn't look at them in detail, and kept turning backwards, until I turned a dozen pages, and the topographic map was finally finished.

Just when I thought there should be text behind this, and continued to turn the page, another picture appeared. This new picture looks special because it depicts bare mountains that look like the terrain of Tibet.

I couldn't understand this, so I continued to flip back, but then there were also patterns, and although the topographic map became a strange symbol or totem, I still couldn't understand what it meant.

After the whole book was opened, in addition to the three topographical maps, there were more than thirty peculiar patterns, and the rest was a blank sheet of paper that had not yet had time to record.

Of course, I didn't find nothing, and among the thirty or so patterns, one depicted a towering giant tree, densely covered with dachshund-like cocoons, like a hell tree under the Yeling sinkhole.

In addition, there is another scene that I feel familiar to, it is a place similar to a formation composed of countless dense square boxes, in the very center of the square box, there stands a pillar with no top in sight, and from the pillar hangs countless strips of cloth-like things, which are full of bells, and the bell is exactly the same as the bell that Luo Yi bought.
