As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's hands trembled a little, and the chopsticks he was holding accidentally fell to the ground, accompanied by a crisp sound, which made us all nervous.

The old man walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder with trembling hands, and asked, "What did you see last night, is it a white skull wearing a dress?" ”

I was a little nervous, what I saw last night was basically the same as what the old man said, but only I saw that thing, how did the old man in front of me know, it seems that it really has something to do with them.

Scratching his head, he said, "Yes, it has a white skull, and it is also dressed in the clothes worn by children, almost the same size as a mountain baby." After speaking, I looked at the mountain baby on the side, he had no expression on his face, he didn't pay attention to me at all, but continued to eat.

When the old man heard what I said, he fell to his knees in front of me, folded his hands, and kept bowing down to me, and he couldn't hear what was being said.

I was startled when I saw this, and after a few seconds I reacted, and hurriedly helped the old man up, no matter how I couldn't bow down to me, I couldn't afford the old man's gift.

"Uncle, you get up first, let's sit on the stool and say something, get up quickly." Chen Haoyue helped the old man up and said.

Under our painstaking persuasion, the old man finally stood up, sat on the stool and sighed meaningfully, looking at the green grass outside the door, as if he was hiding something.

"Uncle, can you explain to me what that thing you saw last night is?" I put a cigarette on the old man and asked.

The old man lit a cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, sighed, and said, "Hey, that's a skeleton, I haven't seen it in many years." ”

"Skeletons? What's that? Uncle, tell me everything you know about the ghosts, so that we don't have a lot of dreams at night. I asked impatiently.

The old man took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "Okay, since you want to listen, then listen to me slowly." ”

A few decades ago, there were many families in our place, and every family was very harmonious, and there was a family surnamed Li on the other side of the river, and there was a boy named Li Xian in the Li family, although he was handsome, but because he had no parents since he was a child, he pretended to be very inferior and did not like to talk.

Even so, Li Xian has a good heart, every time he sees children and old people on the mountain in need, he is always the first to walk in front of them to help.

One day, Li Xian's grandfather was seriously ill and had been bedridden, Li Xian went up the mountain to pick a lot of herbs for his grandfather to boil and drink, but it didn't work. In this way, Li Xian was very sad and had a headache, looking at the haggard appearance of his grandfather on the bed, he wished that he was lying on the bed.

Seeing that his grandfather's condition is getting more and more serious, but the mountains are remote, and the medical equipment in the villages and towns is not good, so he can only go to the hospital in the city, Li Xian begged the surrounding villagers for help, and finally sent his grandfather to the hospital in the city.

Li Xian had no choice but to go to the Candle Dragon Ridge to look for gold, this legend was only heard by the people in our village, as for whether it was true, there was no way to know, and no one could come back alive with the gold.

Legend has it that in the depths of the mountains of Yunnan, there is a kind of monster hidden, there is no trace of flesh and blood left only Bai Sensen's skeleton, called "skeleton ghost", this kind of monster guards the gold in the mountain, and will hide the gold on the cliff, it is basically impossible to climb up, but even if you climb up, want to go down from the cliff, that carelessly will fall to pieces.

But if people want to get the gold, they can only pretend to be dead, but usually two people have to go, because the monster usually eats the first person first, and the second person secretly jumps off the cliff with the gold in his arms, and the people below him respond.

Of course, the man who jumped off the cliff would have been shattered and bloody.

Li is now going to Candle Dragon Ridge to look for gold, of course he is not for money, but the irony is that he is just for money, and even more so to get money for his grandfather's treatment.

After all, the people in the mountains are poor and poor, and all the family's savings are the dozens of acres of budding rice and a cow on the farmland, not to mention the sky-high medical expenses, and even the money to go to the hospital is borrowed from the surrounding blind dates.

So he came up with a blow, returned to the mountain, took the sharpened wood knife and went up the mountain to kill a wild roe deer. He cut through the belly of the robe with a knife, cleaned all the internal organs, found needles and threads, curled up in the belly of the wild roe deer, and sewed the gaps in the belly neatly.

After guarding like this all night, the next day, Li Xian curled up in the belly of the wild roe deer and had difficulty breathing, but after a while, he felt that his whole body was also dangling, as if he had been taken away by something.

After a period of shaking, the air in his stomach became thinner and thinner, and the cold wind also blew in from outside, although Li Xian shivered, his face was overjoyed, because only on the cliff will the air be thin, and only the higher the body, the stronger the wind.

This bumpy feeling gradually stopped, Li Xian carefully took out the knife hidden in his hand and guarded, but after a while there was no response, although Li Xian was bold, but in this closed environment, he couldn't help but have goosebumps, and the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't help but flow down.

Breathing in the thin air, the cold wind was also blowing in from outside, and a chill hit me, and I couldn't help but yawn and cough loudly.

It didn't matter what happened, suddenly a scratch like a sharp sword slashed through the roe deer's stomach, and a hideous face was revealed, Li Xian's face turned green with fright, and the knife in his hand also fell...

Speaking of this, the old man sighed, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

I was a little puzzled, what did Li Xian see, and asked, "Uncle, what did you say Li Xian saw last?" ”

The old man lit a cigarette and looked at the silent barren mountains in the distance, the smoke slowly swirling and finally disappearing into the air.

sighed and said: "The day before Li Xian's death, I had a dream, and that dream was as if I had become Li Xian, from my grandfather's illness to the time I went to Candle Dragon Ridge to look for gold, and finally when I arrived in that cave, I was frightened by something, and suddenly felt that I had fallen into a cliff, and I woke up from my dream all of a sudden. I was so scared that I didn't sleep all night, and when it was dawn, I went to the place where I fell off the cliff, and I was... See... Ay... It's really a white-haired person sending a black-haired person. ”

The old man couldn't stop crying.

"In the end, I saw that Li Xian's kid had already broken to pieces, no part of his body was intact, blood and internal organs were sprinkled all over the ground, and I could smell the smell of blood from a distance, but what made me strange was that there was not a single animal around to eat him.

When I opened Li Xian's body, I couldn't help but have goosebumps on my body, and I hurriedly took a few steps back, and I was even more frightened and sat on the ground.

For some reason, his head turned into a white skull, and there was no trace of flesh and blood on his face, as if it had been hollowed out by something, and only that milky white was left, without a trace of impurities.

I looked a little surprised, but his hands were clenched all the time, and I was a little curious to open it and see that he was holding a piece of gold in his hand.

Seeing this, I instantly understood, and hurriedly hurried overnight, went to the city to sell the fast gold, and used the money to pay the hospitalization fee to Li Xian's grandfather, but then the day was not satisfactory, and Master Li failed to rescue him in time, so he went west early. ”

Hearing this, the old man looked depressed and walked back to the room with heavy steps, ignoring us.

I also had goosebumps on my body, and I shuddered in my heart, Li Xian's fate was really miserable, but I was also moved by his filial piety. Could it be that the "skeleton ghost" I saw last night was Li Xian? Thinking of this, I didn't have any appetite at all, and I couldn't swallow a bite of game when I looked at the table.

But the old man's words have a fatal problem: if the head has become a white skull, that is, it is unrecognizable, then how can you still recognize that person as Li Xian? Is there really a dead man's dream?

Thinking of this, the old man had already returned to the house, but the question kept coming back to my mind.

"I thought of it! It turns out that the cause of the problem is here! The man in black on the other side suddenly shouted, which really startled us.

The second uncle stood up and asked, "What did you find?" What a fuss! ”

After the second uncle finished speaking, the man in black smiled slightly and nodded at the second uncle. The second uncle frowned, immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and followed the man in black to the thatched house.

When I arrived at the thatched hut, the man in black took out the map from before, and when the second uncle saw me coming, he said, "Go and close the door." ”

I hurriedly closed the door, and the man in black took out the map from the drawer, marked several locations on the map with a pen, and turned the whole map upside down.

The man in black held the map and said to us, "Come and see, turn this map upside down and see if it looks like a dragon's head." ”

I walked in with my second uncle and saw that it really looked like a dragon head, but I immediately had some doubts and asked, "What can this mean alone?" ”

"Here are lofty mountains, so many mountains we are looking for is Candle Dragon Ridge, if you look for them one by one, it will be very time-consuming, I used a pen to draw a line between these mountains, and then all these lines are spliced together and then turned upside down to see like a dragon's head, just now the old man said that the skeleton is hiding on the cliff, and the mouth of this dragon's head is in the middle of the mountain."

The man in black lit a cigarette and said, "In the north of the Dead Sea, in the south of the Canghai Sea, there is a man with a dragon head and a dragon body, who lives on the South Mountain for a long time, guards the mountain as a god, and is called Candle Yin." Open your eyes to turn into day, turn your eyes into night, blow gas and turn into rain, exhale into wind, do not drink or eat, do not sleep endlessly, are thousands of miles long, hold a candle in your mouth, shine stone into gold, and the candle light will be forever. ”

After the man in black finished speaking, I suddenly realized that the purpose of the second uncle's visit to Candle Dragon Ridge this time was not to steal and excavate the imperial tomb, but to find a dragon candle that could turn stone into gold.
