Xu Annian looked over with everyone's gaze,

I saw that in the middle of the river not far away, there was indeed a peak, which rose strangely from the ground, cutting off the flow of the river.

The top of the mountain peak is foggy, faintly unclear, at the foot of the mountain I don't know who built a stone road abruptly into the eyes, with the mountain road can be seen that the mountain path is winding, between the gaps in the stone slabs grow weeds more than half a knee high, obviously no one has walked for a long time!

The distant mountains and mountains were confused, looking around, and the layers of foggy ravines seemed to be countless big moths flying and shaking, forming a strange gray-white color.

"Old Zheng, this?"

Xu Annian unconsciously looked at Zheng Lao, the mountain peak in front of him appeared too abruptly, which made him have many questions in his heart!

At this time, the sky was even more cloudy, and drops of rain were faintly falling, and the uneasy mood in Xu Annian's heart rose again.

Zheng Lao slowly wiped off the raindrops on his face and said in a deep voice

"Go up the hill to the other side!"

After saying that, he walked straight towards the upper road!

"Who?"

At this moment, Xu Annian turned his head sharply and shouted, he suddenly felt a beam of eyes behind him looking at them again!

This sudden cry made Wang Siyun behind him tremble, thinking that he was talking about himself, so he said weakly

"Yes, it's me."

Xu Annian ignored Wang Siyun and looked back directly past her, and Bai Hao and the man in black next to Wang Siyun also looked behind him suspiciously.

But I didn't see anything, only the leaves in the distant woods were swaying slightly, as if they were in harmony again!

Uncle Hu noticed Xu Annian's abnormality, hurriedly walked over, and asked in a low voice

"An Nian, what did you find?"

Xu Annian stared at the back for a while, and then shook his head, but his expression did not relax, and he said very solemnly

"I feel like someone is following us!"

After going through so much, Xu Annian now trusts his instincts very much, he clearly felt that someone was watching them just now!

Uncle Hu also frowned slightly, looked back for a moment, and then returned to the fat man's side, and whispered before leaving

"Be careful!"

Xu Annian nodded, said no more, and followed Elder Zheng's footsteps and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

After the group walked to the path in front of the mountain, Zheng Lao, the leader, looked at the stone road in front of him and stopped.

The workmanship of this bluestone slab is very fine, and its edges and corners can still be seen after years of wind and rain. And if you look closely, there is a flower-like pattern carved on it, but it is very old, and now it is not clear to see.

Xu Annian stepped forward and slowly squatted down, gently floating off the dust on the stone road with his hands, this carving is really weird, like a withered flower bone lowered its head, the overall preface umbrella shape, the stem is extremely short, the flowers and leaves seem to drip layers of water droplets, the oval stamen in the center is strangely hollow, and there are vaguely engraved like commas in it, but it has long been blurred and cannot be distinguished. The overall feeling is not as bright and delicate as the flowers you usually see, but it makes people very uncomfortable!

He looked back at Zheng Lao, wanting to see if Zheng Lao recognized the origin of this flower.

Zheng Lao also leaned over and looked at it carefully before shaking his head

"I've never seen this carving before, and this flower feels strange to me!"

Wang Siyun walked up slowly, squatted down and looked carefully, and then said strangely

"This kind of flower gives me the feeling that I have seen it, but I can't say the specifics, it's really strange, who will pave the road here and carve something on it?"

No one responded to her, and the scene was silent.

After a long time, Zheng Lao said faintly

"Leave it alone, let's go up the mountain!"

Xu Annian also nodded in agreement, walked back to the fat man's side and asked with concern

"Fatty, can the body do it?"

After seeing the fat man's affirmative nod, he didn't say anything anymore and helped the fat man to walk towards the mountain.

The group walked cautiously towards the top of the mountain. Fortunately, nothing happened after walking for more than an hour, and it was very calm all the way, and everyone gradually relaxed when they reached the top of the mountain.

It's just that what makes Xu Annian feel strange is that along the way, the surrounding trees are getting more and more sparse, and in the end, they are all bare, only a few lonely dead trees are inserted in the ground, which looks like a dying and struggling person, but at this time it is already dead and lifeless!

Seeing that the fat man was tired and sweating profusely, Xu Annian was a little distressed, so he said to Zheng Lao in front of him

"Elder Zheng, let's go to the top of the mountain and rest for a while!"

Zheng Lao didn't look back, just replied with a good sentence.

The sky was not beautiful, but it began to rain gradually, and the wind blew to make people unusually cold. Everyone felt the weather and quickened their pace.

After walking for nearly twenty minutes, the top of the mountain not far away slowly appeared in front of everyone.

"There seems to be a tree at the top of the mountain?"

Just as everyone was about to reach the top of the mountain in one go, the fat man next to him said in surprise

Xu Annian heard the fat man's reminder, and hurriedly looked up,

Sure enough, at the top of the mountain, there was a tree growing, because the surrounding area was bare, and the tree was unusually conspicuous.

The tree was stout all around, the bark was white, smooth and shiny looking, covered with irregular horizontal stripes, the branches were luxuriant, and the branches were covered with fiery red flowers, the red dazzle covered a large area.

As the rain fell, the flowers on the branches kept falling, and there was a faint smell of dampness!

"Huh!"

Wang Siyun suddenly screamed in confusion

"Why does this tree look like a cherry blossom tree?"

And the people stopped and looked at the tree in front of them.

The fat man said with a little disbelief

"Cherry blossom trees? Isn't that a little Japanese thing?,How can it grow there.,I said big beauty.,Can you see it accurately? ”

Wang Siyun was obviously not too sure, and did not speak in confusion.

"Let's go, let's go under the tree and take shelter from the rain!"

Zheng Lao stamped his conclusion, waved his hand and signaled everyone to move forward.

The crowd was getting closer and closer to the tree, and flowers were slowly drifting from the branches and leaves under their feet.

Xu Annian picked up one of them casually, looked at it curiously, he only felt a sticky feeling after picking up the flower, and then before he could react, a few red droplets dripped from the petals, and then it withered strangely. This picture is familiar,

Xu Annian's face changed, and he hurriedly said

"Do you think the flower in my hand looks like the one carved on the slate?"

Zheng Lao snatched the flower from Xu Annian's hand, and then slowly put it between his nose and sniffed it, with a solemn expression.

At this moment, Uncle Hu suddenly said in a deep voice

"Seems to be something under the tree?"

When Zheng Lao heard Uncle Hu's words, he threw down the withered flower in his hand, and then looked forward,

There was indeed something underneath the tree, but the fog and rain made it difficult to see clearly.

"Let's go!"

Zheng Lao didn't talk nonsense, and ran directly under the tree, feeling that he seemed to be surprisingly nervous at this time.

As the distance got closer, the thing under the tree finally became clear, and it was actually two wooden boxes in the shape of an inverted triangle lying side by side, and the two joined together to form an irregular rectangle! The box is bright red and full of quirky patterns.

Looking closely at the pattern on the box, the outermost part is a huge circle, and inside the circle are three comma-shaped figures distributed in three directions, with a triangle in the stroke.

"Where did the big wooden box come from, why is it so ugly, it is painted with an earthworm Yes, it looks so embarrassing!

The fat man looked at the wooden box in front of him and said with disgust

"It's not an earthworm, it's a Japanese samba pattern!"

Wang Siyun exclaimed

"What? Japanese samba pattern? What do you mean? ”

Xu Annian was the first to ask

"When I traveled to Japan before, I saw this pattern, it was originally a Hachimangu god pattern that worships the god of martial arts, and then it was popular in the samurai society of Japan, it is a kind of totem, and the three hooks represent the whirlpool of water, the curl of the snake and the yin and yang! It's only used to worship death! ”

Wang Siyun told everything she knew.

"This tree should also be a cherry blossom tree, but it's different from what I've seen, and I don't know the specifics!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Wang Siyun's answer, they didn't understand how Japanese things could appear here, you know, Japan is a country that has no good impression in the eyes of the Chinese people, after all, they have done too many heinous dirty deeds before!

Just when everyone was still thinking about Wang Siyun's words, Zheng Lao finally spoke

"I don't know what the pattern Siyun is talking about, but I do know what is under the tree, it is not a wooden box, it is an ancient yin and yang coffin!"
