"What's the matter?"

Su Heng's expression was shocked, and he stared at Su Xiang tightly.

"On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a big thunderstorm in the mountain, and then there was a mountain fire, and when the villagers arrived, the whole mountain was burned bare, but strangely, the surrounding area was not ignited, only that mountain was hit by seedlings.

Later, an old man recalled that there was once a very large locust tree on that mountain, and he thought that the locust was about to become a fine, which led to a thunder penalty, so the mountain fire was ignited.

Fortunately, there are spirits in the mountains, so they are not involved in other mountains. ”

With Su Xiang's age, it is naturally impossible to experience it personally, and it is estimated that he has heard about it.

The mountain acacia became a refinement, Su Heng didn't believe it very much, but there must be a demon when things are abnormal, and there is still some truth in this sentence.

In particular, this incident happened on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is even more suspicious.

"Uncle Xiang knows which mountain it is?"

After all, so many years have passed, and I am afraid that it has long become no different from the surrounding area, so unless someone points it out, it will only be a waste of time to look for the mountains one by one.

"Bull Head Peak."

Su Xiang replied directly.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiang."

Su Heng is no stranger to Niutou Peak, just because the mountain has a fork on the top of the mountain, and from a distance, it looks like two horns of a cow, so he has the name Niutou Peak.

Although Su Heng had never climbed Niutou Peak, he had also seen it from a distance, so he knew the specific location.

"You're going now?"

Su Xiang looked at Su Heng's obviously somewhat moved expression and asked.

It's just that he doesn't think it's a good idea, right now the mountains are pitch black, rugged and difficult to walk, not to mention, some wild beasts hidden during the day have come out to move, and even the terrifying atmosphere inside alone can scare people crazy.

At least borrow a few courage from Su Xiang, and he didn't dare to enter the mountain at night.

"Yes, without further ado, I'm afraid tomorrow will be late."

Su Heng said without hesitation.

If that is really the place where the incense is lit, then he will chase it at this moment, maybe he can catch up with the murderer, and if he waits for dawn tomorrow, it is estimated that it will be too late.

"But it's too dangerous in the mountains, or I'll find a few more people to accompany you."

Seeing Su Heng's expression, Su Xiang thought about it and said.

At least more people would be safer.

"No, I'll be faster alone."

Su Heng shook his head and directly rejected Su Xiang's proposal, bringing people would only be a burden to him.

"As for the funeral of the village chief's grandfather, I will come back to attend."

When Su Heng said this, it was tantamount to promising to give him an explanation.

After finishing speaking, Su Heng didn't wait for Su Xiang to say anything more, he turned around and strode away.

Su Xiang opened his mouth, but he didn't stop Su Heng after all.

"Brother Heng, you're finally back, there was a commotion over there just now, is something wrong?"

Niu Shengli kept standing at the door and watching, until he saw Su Heng come back, he was relieved.

"The village chief's grandfather was killed, I'm going to find the murderer, you stay at home."

The purpose of Su Heng's return was to explain, lest Niu Shengli impulsively do something irrational.

"The village chief's grandfather was killed? Who is it? I'll go with you, Brother Heng. ”

Niu Shengli was also taken aback and said anxiously.

"No, you are honest at home, take care of Teacher Pan, and these children."

Su Heng's tone was obviously a little heavier, plus there were Pan Yun and those children, Niu Shengli nodded after all.

"Brother Heng, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

After Su Heng finished speaking, he turned around and strode into the darkness.

In the mountains, it's cold early.

The endless mountains were swallowed up by darkness, and faintly, like giant beasts, crawling on the earth.

Under the night, Su Heng was like a puff of green smoke, as if his feet were not touching the ground, and he was running quickly in the mountains.

Even many small animals had just noticed the movement, and before they could react, Su Heng had already disappeared.

Despite this, it still took Su Heng half an hour to reach Niutou Peak.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Su Heng felt that Niutou Peak was a little cold, although it was also a tree, it was obviously shorter, and a trace of mist had begun to rise in the mountains.

Su Heng went all the way up, and finally came to the top of the mountain, which was the place where the two huge horns forked.

Almost all of this place is covered by a kind of tiny vines, with dense small flowers, which are even more cold in the night, and there is a feeling of loneliness and self-appreciation.

"Nope."

Su Heng's gaze swept around, and he didn't feel the slightest strange breath.

And on the way here, he also carefully observed, and found no traces of being trampled.

So either the other party will fly, or they just haven't come yet.

Of course, there is also a possibility that he has found the wrong place, and the place where the incense of the funeral is actually lit is not here.

Su Heng wasn't sure if it was here, but since he came, it was impossible to leave casually, at least he had to find some clues.

After thinking about it, Su Heng's figure flickered and disappeared directly in place.

It was another half hour before he returned.

It's just that the doubts on his face are even thicker.

Because he had just climbed almost the entire Niutou Peak, including the two horns that stood up high, and even probed with the eyes of reincarnation, but he didn't find the slightest abnormality.

It seems that this is an ordinary mountain, but he thinks too much.

But Su Heng was a little unwilling, in the end, he found a vacant space, sat down cross-legged directly, and let the night envelop him, and his breathing gradually became dispensable, almost completely integrated with the surroundings.

He's there, but if you don't see with your eyes, you can't see him at all.

Time passed little by little, and I don't know how long it was, Su Heng suddenly opened his eyes.

I saw that there was an additional figure not far from him, his face was wearing a grimace mask, and his body was hidden in a wide black robe, which was the murderer that Su Heng saw from the memory of the old village chief.

Originally, Su Heng was no longer hopeful, but he didn't expect that the other party would show up instead.

This also shows that he is not looking in the wrong place.

But I don't know if it's because Su Heng is hiding it too well, or if the other party doesn't think that there will be outsiders here, so he directly took out a finger-thick incense that is more than ten centimeters long.

Especially this incense is actually red.

And it was not ignited with any open flame, but with blood.

When the other party's blood dripped on the incense, Su Heng actually felt like his blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but rush out.

Eventually, though, he forcibly suppressed the feeling and sat there blending in with the darkness, staring motionlessly at the other man's movements.

If you don't know about the burial of Tianxiang, you don't know 'there', you don't know 'them', maybe Su Heng would have done it a long time ago, directly took down the other party, and went to worship in front of the corpse of the old village chief.

But now, Su Heng wanted to know more about what would happen next.
