Speaking of Ma Cripple, someone immediately stood up and said: "Ma Cripple's real name is Ma Decai, he entered the village three years ago, this person is also honest, and he is also diligent, just a few months after entering the village, the village had that accident, his mother-in-law died in that accident, the people in the village looked at him pitiful, who made delicious food on weekdays would give him some, I didn't expect this dog's conscience to be greatly broken." ”

As soon as the man finished speaking, the doctor immediately frowned and asked the man, "You mean, three years ago?" And that happened in the village not long after he came? ”

"Yes, I remember very clearly, his mother-in-law died in the house at that time, or the corpse that Xiao Qi and I helped carry, right, Xiao Qi?"

"No, that's right, I had a nightmare that night, and I didn't dare to sleep all night!" A young man in his early thirties in the crowd answered, his expression very affirmative.

After being reminded by the doctor's words, we all frowned at this time, how can there be such a coincidence in this world? As soon as the lame man entered the village, a strange thing happened in the village, and this person's identity and intentions were like a mystery, and now that the matter was exposed, he was even more afraid of crime and absconded, this person must have an extraordinary secret.

The lame horse ran away, the missing children were not found, and Xiaoling was nowhere to be found, although the purpose of the trip had been achieved, but he could not just leave without hesitation, I heard the village chief say that there were twelve children who were taken captive, even if they wanted to leave, they had to wait for the children to be found. Besides, this time the Taoist priest suffered such a big loss that he almost took his life, and it is absolutely impossible for him to leave now.

So, with the plea of the old patriarch and the villagers, we agreed to help find the kidnapped children.

After learning more about what happened, we targeted Ma Decai, and now we can confirm that the chrysalis Gu was ordered by him, and the kidnapped child must have nothing to do with him, and the most important thing at the moment is to find him first.

But where do we look?

The Taoist priest stood up at this time and said: "Hmph, don't think about it, the Taoist master was attacked in the mountains, and the valley Lao Tzu remembers, the dog must be hidden inside." As he spoke, he saw the old patriarch: "Old man, Dao Ye is not an unreasonable person, forget the previous matter, do you order enough people now, go with Dao Ye to take care of the old den of the dog day." ”

"Eh, good, good, thank you for your help, and when we rescue people, we will definitely set up a table to thank each other." The old patriarch said excitedly, and immediately ordered the middle-aged man who called Ah Hua to call someone, saying that all the sturdy men in the village should be called, and we knew that Ah Hua was the village chief of Luogang Village.

As I said before, the terrain of Luogang Village is long and narrow, and it is very difficult for the news to be fully transmitted to every corner of the village, and it will take some time for them to gather people, so we agreed with the old patriarch to meet in the ancestral hall in an hour and a half.

As for a few of us, we returned to Lao Luo's house first, firstly, we were really tired enough from this morning's busy work, we needed to rest, and secondly, we had no guys in our hands, the Taoist priest's outfit was at my home in Chengdu, and the Apocalypse Sword and Yan Wudao's talisman I brought with me were all in my backpack, so I had to go back and get them, otherwise we might not be able to get any benefits for the last black wizard who would release chrysalis Gu, after all, the terrible image of Fengyang Black Wizard Bagan still makes me feel palpitations.

After solving the Gu, the Taoist priest's complexion was good, he didn't know Lao Luo, but after returning to Lao Luo's house, this Mao Mao was not polite to ask Lao Luo for food, Lao Luo asked the Taoist priest for help, naturally he would not refuse, and went to prepare a large table of meals.

After breakfast, in fact, it is lunch, the customs in Yunnan and Guizhou are almost the same, we call breakfast breakfast, lunch is breakfast, in the countryside is generally not happy to eat breakfast, unless there is something at home to ask someone to help.

After we finished eating, it was already more than twelve o'clock, Lao Luo cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and explained his request to the Taoist priest with a smile, and the Taoist priest was in a good mood at this time, so he didn't care too much, and agreed casually.

Lao Luo was overjoyed immediately, saying that he immediately asked his mother-in-law to bring his son back, we told him no, and when he left, he would go to the town for diagnosis and treatment, but Lao Luo was very anxious, saying that this matter should be better as soon as possible, and he also planned to wait for his son to move back to the village after he got well, after all, this is the real home!

We persuaded him, but we didn't say anything more, and seeing that the time was almost up, we packed up our things and rushed to the ancestral hall.

Hundreds of people have gathered on the cliff platform in front of the ancestral hall, all of them are young and strong men in the village, they are all holding wide hunting knives in their hands, I even saw more than a dozen shotguns, I can't help but sigh, I am glad that I did not have a confrontation with these people just now, otherwise with these dozen shotguns, I am afraid we don't know how we died.

The prestige of the old patriarch in the village is the highest, but he is old, and his legs and feet are not good, so it is impossible for him to follow us into the mountains, so the village chief Ah Hua will lead this group of people to follow us.

Time is urgent, Ma De is exposed, I don't know what crazy things will be done, we must get to the deep valley as soon as possible, the village chief is a steady man, after explaining the matter to these people concisely, we are ready to set off into the mountain.

However, at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, and I hurriedly stopped.

Seeing that I stopped, the village chief Ah Hua looked at me strangely and asked me what was the matter? I remembered the situation last time I was in my hometown, it was because I brought all the young adults in the village into the mountains, causing the Heavenly Witch Sect to take the opportunity to attack the village and almost kill everyone, this time the situation is so similar, although I know that this kind of thing is not very likely, but just in case, I still told the village chief about my concerns.

This incident was experienced by the Taoist priest and me, he also had a deep impression, knew the stakes, as soon as he heard me talk about it, he hurriedly said to the village chief: "Immeasurable Tianzun, the reporter is right, the origin of the lame horse is mysterious, I don't know if it is a person, if he still has accomplices, this hand really has to be guarded against." ”

Ah Hua nodded, and said that it made sense, and after several people discussed it again, they decided to bring only thirty people with good skills and bright brains into the mountain, and all the rest of the people stayed, just in case.

The matter was finally finalized, and we also started to act, which was supposed to be led by the Taoist priest, but the situation in the mountain was complicated, and the Taoist priest found the deep valley under the guidance of the spell at that time, and as soon as he entered the mountain, he was immediately blinded.

It is also thanks to the fact that the valley mentioned by the Taoist priest is quite famous in the surrounding area, and most of the hunters in the village know it, and two of the thirty people we selected are the sons of the old hunter, who had been to that place with their fathers when they were young, and knew the way.

While complaining that the Taoist priest was unreliable, I talked to the two young men and asked about the origin of the deep valley.

One of them, a man named Monkey, told me that the deep valley was called the Valley of the Demons, and that the hunters in the vicinity knew it, because the valley was very scary, and if you got a little closer, you would feel a gust of wind burrowing into your body, and you would often see some very frightening things nearby.

"Horror stuff, what's it?" I asked curiously.

The monkey is the same age as me, and he is a very active and talkative person, which is probably why he is called Monkey! Then when I asked the question, his face changed.

He looked around and found that everyone was looking at him, his nervous expression suddenly eased a little, he lowered his voice, and said in a solemn tone: "Sir, I won't tell you, I only heard my grandfather say that thing before, saying that it is a human skeleton that can move, and there are strange ghost fires flashing in the two dark eye sockets, which is very terrifying!" ”

I was stunned, I heard that this sounds familiar? So he asked him, "You just heard what your grandfather said?" Was that what your grandfather saw with his own eyes? ”

The monkey shook his head: "No, my grandfather also listened to my grandfather, as for who my grandfather listened to, I don't know." But my grandfather said, go into the mountains to hunt and never get close to the demon valley, you can't mention it, if you accidentally bump into the neighborhood, you must not look inside, you have to take off your shoes and cover your head, and then run in the opposite direction as fast as possible, if you are lucky, you can pick up a life, if you are unlucky, you can only be hooked into the valley and killed. ”

"So, no one really sees a moving skeleton of bones, it's all just a legend?"

As soon as I finished speaking, another young man next to me hurriedly said, "No, what the monkey said is true!" ”

The young man's face was very bad, pale and pale, and he seemed to be frightened, so I asked him, "Have you heard of this legend?" Did your ancestors tell you the same? ”

The young man hurriedly shook his head, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, and said, "No, no, that's what I saw with my own eyes!" ”

When he said this, the young man's body was trembling, as if he recalled something particularly terrible, we all looked at him, the Taoist priest stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a grin: "Immeasurable Tianzun, boy, don't be afraid, there is a Taoist master, any demons and monsters are floating clouds, you just say, the Taoist covers you!" ”

The Taoist priest slapped his chest as he spoke, and the confidence on his face really infected the young man, his pale face eased a little, his body no longer trembled, and slowly told us about something he had personally experienced.

It happened a long time ago, when he was only fifteen years old, and since he did not go to school, he began to follow his father and grandfather into the mountains to hunt at an early age.

When he was fifteen years old, he and his grandfather once "walked the mountains", the so-called walking mountains, in fact, is to bring enough dry food for a week, have been wandering around the deep mountains, eating, drinking and sleeping in the mountains, unless it is to hit a large prey, otherwise will never go out of the mountain in advance, until the dry food is eaten up.

For young people, he is already familiar with hunting, but this is the first time he has walked in the mountains. Hunters rely on the mountains and eat the mountains, the mountains are their food and clothing parents for them, as hunters must fully adapt to the life of the mountains and forests, but the night in the mountains is very dangerous and terrifying, not only all kinds of fierce beasts, but also many legends, indescribable things.

The courage of the young man is considered to be great among the people of his generation, and on the first night of walking the mountain, his grandfather did not plan to rest, but prepared to hunt at night when he had just entered the mountain and was at the peak of his physical strength and spirit, because the large prey mostly haunted at night, and if he wanted to have a big harvest, the night was the best time.

High returns always come with high risks, and there is a high chance of hitting large prey during night hunting, but it is also correspondingly dangerous, on the one hand, because of the poor vision at night, and on the other hand, because there will be a lot of strange things in the mountains at night.

In the process of squatting next to the trap, an accident happened, a sturdy wild boar fell into the trap, and under the joy, the young man with little experience in night hunting immediately rushed up, wanting to mend the knife, which is a big taboo.

Generally speaking, the beast struggles most strongly when it first falls into the trap, and at the same time when it is the most ferocious, and when it comes closer, it will immediately become the target of the beast's desperate attack.

Sure enough, the young man rushed to the edge of the trap, just made up a shot inside, the injured wild boar was so fierce that he actually arched the dirt on the edge of the pit, and the young man standing on it was caught off guard and slid down, fortunately there were more thorns and shrubs nearby, and he grabbed a thorn in a panic and climbed up in horror, but the wild boar in the pit also jumped out and chased him desperately.

The young man was so frightened that he forgot to run in the direction of his grandfather for a while, and in a panic, he ran away from a deep ravine. When he found that the wild boar was not chasing, his tense nerves were relaxed, and then he noticed that the nearby landform was somewhat familiar, and after a closer look, he was immediately startled.

Walking in the mountains all year round, his grandfather had taken him to look at this deep valley from a distance on a distant cliff more than once, and warned him that he could go anywhere in the huge mountain forest, but this deep valley was forbidden to all hunters, and he must not approach.

Of course, he was only taken aback, and after a brief moment of surprise, he immediately relieved himself. All his fears about the Valley of Demons and Demons stemmed from the legends and warnings that his grandfather had told him over the years, and when he really set foot in this place, nothing terrible happened, he didn't feel anything terrible, and even complained in his heart that Grandpa told him some nonsense to deceive him.

Just as he was about to leave, a strange voice came from the deep valley not far away, the sound he couldn't describe, but it made him feel a shiver from the depths of his soul, and he couldn't move.

The strange mist drifted up from the valley with the sound, and the sound got closer and closer to him, gradually gaining a piercing feeling, and just as all his attention was attracted by the mist, a human skeleton riding a horse bone frame walked out of the fog in the deep valley.
