In the early years, I had heard rumors that there was a ghost market in the mountains, saying that someone was tired from working the night shift in the middle of the night, and I met a smiling man who invited travelers to spend the night at home while composing.

The traveler could not bear the hospitality, and was overtired, so he followed. But I knew that it was a human form transformed by the ghost spirit in the mountain, and I lived in the ghost market in the mountain for one night, and was absorbed in the essence, and when I got up the next day, I found that I had fallen in a cave, and my age seemed to be in my 40s.

That's what I saw when I saw the guy standing on the bridge, but he didn't see the expression of joy or sadness when he wore this mask. The whole body is very festive, full of all kinds of ribbons, and in addition to the two copper mirrors hanging on the chest, there are several copper bells tied to the sleeves and thighs of the pants, and the breeze blows, making a crisp sound.

"Let's go!" The screams of the woman behind him were heard.

"No, there are people here." I didn't dare to turn my head, but I took two steps back and said tremblingly.

After saying this, I turned my head, but strangely enough, even with my loud voice, the guy still bent over and didn't move.

"Could it be a dead man?" Thinking that there would not be much time to delay in this place, I still walked up with a hard head.

Sure enough, when I got closer, I realized that the so-called "person" was nothing more than a stone statue with clothes and a mask.

So this thing has been here all along, right? With great curiosity, I touched the stone statue's clothes with my hands, and saw that the material of the clothes was hard and elastic, and there were various colors on it.

"Hides?" Soon I felt the texture, and under the light of the flashlight, I could see that the clothes were covered with traces of sewing, like beggar's clothes.

"It looks like it's been a few years, but fortunately it's windy here, and there isn't much dust on the stone statue." I clapped my hands and found that the corners of many of the clothes were still as good as new.

But then the question arises, if this stone statue is not blown by the wind on the swaying suspension bridge, and its own weight can be used as an explanation, then why are these clothes still hanging on it so well?

"It's for the wind, you idiot." A woman's voice came from behind her.

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I realized that this stone statue was probably built here to suppress the crosswinds between the valleys. No wonder this suspension bridge is so well preserved in this place.

With this in mind, I didn't stop much at my feet, and soon I came to the opposite side of the cliff.

This is an ancient city in the forest, it is made of green bricks, built around the pavilion, the area is not large, but it is extremely well preserved, I soon found that this place has been occupied by the forest, at a glance there are all kinds of vegetation, fungi, lichens are all over the ground, trees and bamboos are also competing to grow.

Wooden fences and carts can be seen scattered on the ground, as well as ornaments made of cow and sheep skulls.

Taking a deep breath, he brushed aside the thick-leaved fern vegetation in front of him and walked forward, and slowly with the movement of the flashlight, this ancient ruin also appeared in full sight.

I saw that there was a clearing behind the vegetation, and there was a huge stone tower in the clearing, and the tower body was about four or five floors, and there were many dilapidated images on it, and the remnants of bricks and rubble were scattered everywhere, but the overall situation was still intact, but because of the topography, it had gradually merged with a giant tree rooted on its left side.

After walking in, I was surprised to find that it was actually a yew tree, which is an ancient relict tree species left by the Quaternary glacier, and a natural rare anti-cancer plant recognized as endangered in the world.

"How many years ago did this place exist?"

The roots and branches of the tree are attached to the stone tower to grow, I don't know how many years have passed, now it has been more than 30 meters, looking at the platform, the leafy shade of the yew branches is like a huge umbrella stretched out on the tower, and those tendons and vines are like dragons rooted in the cracks of the wall bricks, like cracks one by one.

Green and cyan are intertwined here, plants and culture are blended together, and I can't help but sigh at the magic of nature.

Turning on the flashlight and continuing to look up, the tower is divided into two floors, the first is a strange giant snake statue, and the second is a huge stone monument. The stele is too high for me to see what words are engraved on it, but I can see the statue on the first floor clearly, but it is the "snake bone" I saw after entering the mountain gate, it is coiled on a stone pillar, with its head up, a pair of eyes inlaid with jewels reflected crystal light under the light of the flashlight.

"What the hell is this?"

I glanced at the staircase at the edge of the tower, which had been squeezed out by yews and was only half a road away, and thought to myself that only the stone tablet could write him clearly!

Turning his gaze, he looked around the light of the moving flashlight again, trying to understand what this place was through the buildings.

As far as the eye can see, there are pavilions embedded in the mountains, and even green palm leaves hang down, and you can only occasionally see the past style of this ancient city wall from the gaps in some vegetation. There is a partially wavy rubble pattern, of course, I can't name the specific noun, which belongs to one of the early decorative styles of the ancient ancestors. Of course, not only these, but also the corners of the pavilion are covered with mossy bucket arches and owl kisses.

"I don't know how to go up to that place, what's in there?"

As I continued to look down, I saw that there were still many wooden windows in the pavilion that had been blown open by the wind, which was probably inhabited by people in ancient times!

"Hey!" Between thoughts, a voice came from afar.

I looked back and saw the woman and Scarface crawling over a huge rock from the grass.

"Why are you here?"

I didn't have the years to run away this time, because they gave me a flashlight that was almost out of battery, and I knew that in this environment without light, without the flashlight, I would ......

Wait a minute...... In a trance, I seemed to have discovered something.

Lowering my head, the light of the flashlight in my hand was already faint, and even the light began to flicker, but why could I still see the two people not far away?

His thoughts slowed for a moment, and he looked up until a faint light fell from the trees high up.

And...... And the light is getting brighter and brighter.

"This ...... What's going on? Isn't this Hades? How is there still light? I was a little confused, "What the fuck is this?" ”
