Chapter 169: The Old Man of the Night

After completely extinguishing the fire on the ground, Cheng Yang and the two began to walk up the hillside, I don't know why Cheng Yang always felt like someone was looking at him from behind, Cheng Yang suddenly turned his head and looked around, but there was no one around.

"Cheng Yang, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, I always feel like someone is watching and staring at me, forget it, let's hurry up." After talking to Lu Qiu, Cheng Yang didn't pay attention to the people behind him.

Walking to the mountain, Cheng Yang saw a huge humanoid stone standing upright on it. The giant was very realistically carved, holding a sword in both hands and wearing thick armor, as if it was guarding something.

Lu Qiu had already approached this humanoid stone at this time, and at this time he said to this Cheng Yang: "Cheng Yang, this giant has words on his armor. ”

Word? Cheng Yang was a little curious, the program told Cheng Yang that he had analyzed the caves here, and the main thing was that some painters didn't have any words, but Lu Qiu was talking about words at this time!

Cheng Yang looked closer, there were indeed words engraved on the stone, and the words on it were still simplified characters that Cheng Yang was familiar with, but the words on the words made me break out in a cold sweat on my back. The words "Soul Ridge" were written on it.

Soul Ridge has been mentioned in the information that it is a place where people are placed, and it can also be said to be a place like a desert land, but unlike the desert land, the dead people here have names and are placed very neatly.

"This is not the place you two little dolls should be!"

A hoarse voice came from behind Cheng Yang, and both Cheng Yang and Lu Qiu were startled by the voice. Cheng Yang turned around and saw an old man standing behind him. When did this old man come to Cheng Yang behind him, he didn't know at all, there was no sound at all, Cheng Yang looked at him cautiously.

At this time, the old man smiled and said: "You don't have to be curious, I am the one who takes care of this Soul Ridge, this is not the place where you little dolls should come, hurry up and return to the place where you originally came." ”

Cheng Yang and Lu Qiu came here to explore the secret of the jade wood box, and they couldn't go back just because the old man said a word. Cheng Yang didn't know which of his tendons was wrong and asked, "Old man, do you know where your mouth is?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard Cheng Yang say these two words in his mouth, but he quickly recovered to his original appearance, and said to Cheng Yang: "I know in my mouth, you come with me, the night here is not very peaceful, and if you want to go to your mouth, you have to go in the morning." The old man finished and walked with his hands behind his back.

Cheng Yang saw that the old man knew where he was talking and gave Lu Qiu a look, the old man really had no sound when he walked, and Cheng Yang was also very curious about why.

He followed the old man to a wooden house, "Come on, I'll make you tea, I haven't been here for many years." ”

Cheng Yang looked around at the wooden house, there was a light on the roof, and a TV or something, looking at the usual mountain hut was no different. Soon the old man returned to our place with steaming tea, and the old man sat down and poured a cup for Cheng Yang and Lu Qiu and said, "Come and taste the tea I grew myself, it has the effect of calming the nerves." ”

Cheng Yang saw that the old man didn't drink it, but Lu Qiu had already lowered his mouth, "Hey, this tea is good." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Yes, the tea trees left over from thousands of years ago. Are you two here to find something to eat? ”

"Yes!" Cheng Yang nodded and said.

The old man continued: "No one has been looking for the mouth for many years, and it is said that someone came to look for it once more than ten years ago, but they did not find it. I've seen a lot of people looking for a mouth since I came here, and if you're lucky, you'll be able to come out alive, and if you're unlucky, you'll probably die inside. ”

Cheng Yang was a little surprised in his heart, how could so many people come to look for him, is this not a secret? Is it just that no one has been looking for it?

Lu Qiu asked at this time, "Old man, we ......"

Lu Qiu was interrupted by the old man before he could finish speaking, "The mouth is in this mountain, but you have to pass through my Revenant Soul Ridge, and the living creatures of Revenant Soul Ridge can't get by, so you can only wait for the opportunity." ”

Cheng Yang asked, "Opportunity?" What chances? ”

The old man stroked his beard and said: "In three days, there will be fog in the Revenant Ridge here, you can pass through it when the fog is up, but if you don't believe me, old man, you can use the chickens in the backyard to try what will happen if the living creatures walk into the Revenant Ridge, and you will have time to think about whether you should go forward or go back the way you came." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he pushed open the door and left the house, Cheng Yang and Lu Qiu were a little scared by the old man's words, fortunately they didn't walk around, but it was also possible that the old man knew something, so he said this in order not to let Cheng Yang find out.

Cheng Yang and the two did not live in the hut, but set up a tent not far from the hut, planning to wait for the day to experiment, if not the experiment Cheng Yang does not know if what the old man said is true.

Cheng Yang lay in his sleeping bag and took out the phone, not bad, although there is only one signal here, he can send text messages and make phone calls or something. Cheng Yang sent a text message to Yun Haifeng and talked about the development of things. Soon Yun Haifeng's text message came back, they had arrived at the construction site, the situation on the construction site was not very good, there was still a layer underground at the construction site, which was filled with wooden boxes, and the experts had already arrived, and now the situation was not very good. Now Yun Haifeng means that Cheng Yang can go in if he can, and if he can't go, he will return to the market as soon as possible, and the problems on the construction site may get out of control at any time.

Cheng Yang felt a lot more relieved after seeing the text message, but a text message from a familiar number instantly made Cheng Yang sit up. This text message is actually from the old hair, and the content is quickly replied in two words.

Cheng Yang's heart is gone, and he can't go back when it's dark now, so he can only wait for tomorrow morning to contact Yun Haifeng by satellite phone and ask people to pick him up and Lu Qiu at the intersection to go back.

Lu Qiu slept soundly beside Cheng Yang, and it seemed that the old man's tea was really calming. Cheng Yang didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, and the old man wouldn't contact him if he didn't have a big event, so my heart collapsed.

Cheng Yang couldn't stay in the tent, got dressed and came outside, the old man was playing this Tai Chi with his eyes closed and following the moonlight, Cheng Yang stood next to the old man and didn't speak, just watched quietly.

"Young man, have something on your mind." The old man said.

Cheng Yang didn't speak, because Cheng Yang didn't know how to talk to this old man, the old man opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Situ Chengwu and I are old friends, and the necklace around your neck betrays your relationship." ”

Cheng Yang sighed inadvertently in his heart, the old man really has a lot of friends.

"Tomorrow you will go down the mountain, and don't go the way you went into the mountain, just go out behind my hut, and if you come and go the way you came, don't take the shortcut I went out."

Cheng Yang nodded, and suddenly Cheng Yang saw a figure walking over, the old man suddenly had a somewhat serious expression, and said to me: "Don't make a sound for a while, don't speak no matter what you see." ”
