We were stunned for a long time, and finally I couldn't help but blurt out: "It's incredible!" Oh my boy, who is so perverted and hangs so many skeletons on the tree? Could this be some kind of warning? Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the ghost fire in the courtyard of the old house, the large number of villagers who disappeared in the sandwich ditch thirty years ago, and the heads of the old people who had found them.

Yang Lao said: "Don't scare yourself, you are most afraid of your heart." I think this should be a special funeral custom of ethnic minorities, and the tree burial in the second burial is nothing to make a fuss about. ”

Ah Jiu snorted and said, "Don't fool my little Guan Ye who doesn't understand, your tree burial only buries the head?" Did the corpse let you eat? ”

Old Yang's face darkened, and he scolded: "Rabbit cub, you have a little respect, what kind of burial do you say this is?" ”

Ah Jiu cut off: "I can't see it, it's obvious that the body is buried." ”

What kind of place do I mean, you two still have the heart to engage in academic exchanges? Damn, this place is so wicked, let's get out of here quickly.

Knife glanced back at me and nodded, "Go!" ”

We withdrew from the artemisia grass and continued our way up the river, probably under the influence of the strange anger here, and everyone quickened our pace, and no one spoke along the way, until we saw no skeletons again, and we slowed down. As we walked, the knife suddenly stopped again, and we saw that a huge, dozens of meters high black shadow appeared in front of us, blocking the way.

The black shadow stretched between the two mountains, and there was a large cliff like a knife, like a huge stone gate rising from the ground, completely sealing the river.

"What's going on? It's the end? I looked at the huge cliff in front of me and was stunned.

"Damn, this is just Feilai Peak!" Ah Jiu quickly walked to the bottom of the cliff, looked at it for a long time, and then turned around and shouted: "No, there is no spring under the cliff, how did this river come out?" ”

We all went up, and as Ah Jiu said, this cliff seemed to come out of the sky, without any warning, directly blocking the entire valley.

The knife touched the stone wall and did not speak for a long time.

Yang Lao's face was ugly, and he was amazed, and said: "The Northeast people say that there is a strange phenomenon called 'blocking', which specifically hinders the walking of night walkers, and the nature is a bit like a ghost hitting the wall, do you say that we have encountered this thing?" This big cliff might be a hallucination, right? ”

Ah Jiu sneered: "Old man, is it an illusion that you hit your head against the stone wall, don't you know?" ”

Looking at Yang Lao Tieqing's face, I secretly laughed, probably because Yang Lao wanted to murder Xiaodao, Ah Jiu has been squeezing Yang Lao all the way. This reminds me of Lei Zi, Ah Jiu and the two of them are really similar, thinking that Lei Zi may still be lying in the hospital, I feel a little guilty and bitter.

At this time, the knife suddenly said: "No, this mountain has been artificially modified. ”

I was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" The villagers here have also done the great feat of Yugong moving mountains? Don't tell me, this canal is also a man-made Grand Canal!

Xiaodao shook his head, pointed to a large patch of white stones on the stone wall and said: "You see, these stones are obvious marble and granite, and most of the stones on the periphery are rhyolite and basalt unique to the Great Khing'an Mountains. ”

"Damn, that's outrageous, isn't it?" I was surprised: "With such a big water hole, how many manpower and material resources do you need to seal it?" This is simply the ancient Three Gorges Gezhouba! ”

Ah Jiu was a little incredulous, and said: "No, if the water hole is sealed, after so many years, the other end of the cliff will definitely be full of water, and it will definitely overflow." ”

I raised my hand to agree with Ah Jiu's statement, but Yang Lao said: "I agree with Xiaodao's statement, you see, even if the Shinto is at the end here, behind this stone wall, there must be an ancient tomb, since the mountain has been artificially modified, then it is not impossible to divert the river upstream." ”

"No, Guan Ye said, we can find him by following the Shinto, if this is the end of the Shinto, then where did Guan Ye go? Besides, Feng Shui Feng Shui, water is the most important, if you lead the water to other places, won't that destroy the Feng Shui pattern? Ah Jiu still didn't believe it, and was very sure of his thoughts.

I also nodded: "Is it possible that this Shinto path is particularly long?" The ancients cultivated the Shinto to cultivate here, and found that the way was blocked by this cliff, so they dug a hole through this cliff, and later may be due to many factors, such as mountain floods, earthquakes, military disasters, **, so that this cave collapse is not impossible. ”

"Is this the case, let's get to the top of the cliff and we'll know it at a glance." After saying that, the knife followed the direction of the cliff and walked up the hill on the left.

I was right when I thought about it, if we went around to the top of the cliff from the ridge next to it and found that there was an extension of Shinto at the other end of the cliff, it proved my assertion, and if not, it proved that the speculation of Xiaodao and Yang Lao was correct.

Halfway up the mountain, it was already dark, and I looked back at the cliff and suddenly noticed a black, triangular shadow halfway up the cliff. I stopped to take a closer look, and found that I was not mistaken, just now we were below, and because of the angle, we couldn't see the black shadow, and now we are halfway up the mountain, just at the same height as the black shadow, so we can see it at a glance.

"What's that sign?" I asked, pointing to the triangular shadow.

Everyone else stopped, looked in the direction of my finger, and after a long time, the knife said, "That's not a sign, I look like a cave." ”

"Caves?" Yang Lao suddenly became nervous and asked, "Are you sure?" Could that be the entrance to the Huo De Xuan Palace? ”

"Perhaps the people who built the mausoleum wanted to cover it, but the hole is probably an extension of Shinto." I said.

Xiao Dao looked at the triangular cave for a long time and said, "It's useless to guess, you have to go in and see how to find out." ”

"How do you crawl over there?" I looked at the three holes, which were not up or down, just halfway up the cliff, at least thirty meters from the ground, and the cliff was bare, and it was estimated that Spider-Man would have a fucking hard time crawling over.

"Go up there, slip a rope into the hole from above." Ah Jiu pointed to the top of the cliff and said, "You see, the distance from the cave to the top of the cliff is only twenty or thirty meters, and our rope is definitely long enough." ”

As I spoke, I seemed to see a person standing at the entrance of the cave, because the light was too dim, I could only see a shadow vaguely, but in a blink of an eye, the figure disappeared, I rubbed my glasses and looked carefully, but I saw nothing, I shook my head, thinking that I hadn't slept all night, I must have hallucinated.

The knife took the lead, and we continued our walk up the hill. After walking for nearly an hour, I finally came to the ridge on the left, looked in the direction of the cliff, and found that the trees behind the cliff were dense, the ancient trees were towering, and there was a tendency to rise slowly, forming a small hill that was not high, and I could not see the back of the cliff at all.

Yang Lao looked at it for a long time, and suddenly his eyes were shining, and he said in surprise: "This, this is too much like the sealed soil of the emperor's mausoleum!" You see, the small hill on the cliff, the trees are scattered, and they are definitely artificially cultivated, this is the sealed tree of the emperor's tomb, it seems that my speculation is correct, the Huode Xuan Palace is in this cliff. ”

"!" Ah Jiu said angrily: "Don't say that people are wolves when you see huskies, and wolves don't eat." ”

Yang Lao snorted: "Then we'll see." With that, the first one walked along the edge of the cliff in the direction of the cave.

Walking along the cliff to the top of the cave, the valley where we came, the panorama of the Bale Gully gradually came into view, and the ridges on both sides of the Bale Gully winded and extended, disappearing into the dense jungle at the end, and the rocky beach at the bottom of the gully was like a thin white line, snakeing in a row.

Walking to the top of the cave, the knife took out a rope and fixed it on the big tree, threw the other end down, and said: "The old man can't use his hands hard, Xiao Guan Ye, you accompany the old man on it, Ah Jiu and I go down to take a look, if the cave does lead to the Huo Dexuan Palace, we will find a way to get the old man down." ”

As soon as I heard it, I was about to say why I stayed on it, but when I saw Ah Jiu hurriedly giving me a look, I immediately understood, and my heart said yes, Yang Lao's hand is useless, and he can only stay on it, in case we all go down, this guy moves the rope with his hands and feet, then we are not stupid below, the knife let me stay on it, nominally to accompany Yang Lao, but in fact, it is to prevent him from calculating us.

The arrangement of the knife is quite reasonable, if the cave on the cliff is really the entrance to the ancient tomb, with my experience of the inverted bucket, it must be a burden for the knife to go down, but let me look at Yang Lao, a waste person, it is more than enough, this is not that I belittle myself, from knowing the knife and Ah Jiu to the present, it cannot be denied that their ability is indeed far above me.

Without waiting for me to nod, the knife was the first to climb down. Ah Jiu patted Gege who was lying on the ground and said, "Girl, protect Xiao Guan Ye well." After saying that, he smiled at me, put the machete in his mouth, and climbed down the rope.

Yang Lao didn't speak, found a tree to sit down against it, and began to close his eyes and recuperate. After three or five minutes, the knife and they had already entered the cave, I had nothing to say to Yang Lao, I was extremely bored, walked to Gege who was lying on the ground, and was just about to pat its head, but saw it suddenly raise its head, look at me viciously, bared its teeth and threatened, startled me, and hurriedly said: "Damn, you Ama asked you to protect me, you want to rebel?" ”

Unexpectedly, the big dog suddenly stood up, his eyes were full of fierceness, I was so frightened that I hurriedly stepped back, and suddenly found that something was wrong, Gege was not looking at me, and I hurriedly looked back in a flash, and suddenly saw Yang Lao kicking from behind me.

The sudden change suddenly appeared, how could I have time to dodge, and in a hurry, I subconsciously used my hand to pull the soles of his feet, but I didn't expect that such a thin old man, there was such a strong way on his feet, and he directly kicked me and staggered, fell two steps to the oblique back, and suddenly his feet were empty, and his heart said that it was broken, and there was a cliff behind me! Saying that it was too late, I only felt that my body sank, and I fell down suddenly, but fortunately I reacted in time, and at the moment when my head was blank, my hands grabbed the rope tightly, and at the same time, I saw the black shadow flash, Gege fit and pounced, slapped Yang Lao to the ground with one claw, and opened his bloody mouth to bite Yang Lao's neck.

"Don't!" In a hurry, I hurriedly called out to Gege, who looked at me in a daze, as if he was a little puzzled.

I struggled to climb up, took out the rope, and tied up Yang Lao while scolding, but Yang Lao just closed his eyes and kept silent, at my mercy. I tied Yang Lao to a big tree, and kicked it when I went up, and Yang Lao who was in pain snorted for a while, thinking that this old guy almost killed my life with one kick, and kicked him at all, and wanted to kick a few more feet, but when I looked at his pale and haggard face, I thought forget it, people are so old that they can't withstand my kicks.

I glared at Yang Lao for a long time, this old bastard was like nothing, and he didn't look at me, I couldn't help but curse in my heart, the heart of the fucking old thing was too dark.

Gege lay on the ground as usual, raised his eyelids from time to time to look at Yang Lao, I sat down and lit a cigarette, and took two puffs, which calmed my mood, thinking about the fact that I was almost kicked off the cliff by Yang Lao just now, and I was so scared that I was terribly afraid, if this old guy didn't know the secret of Huo De Xuangong, Lao Tzu would definitely kill him, but in fact, I really couldn't do it.

After waiting for more than an hour, the sun had risen high, Xiaodao and Ah Jiu still didn't move, I couldn't help but panic a little, and said that the Huode Xuangong was so evil in the ciphertext, and Xiaodao They don't have the physique of "ghosts and sorrows", will it be dangerous?

Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still, so I stood up, checked the rope that tied Yang Lao, and then patted Gege and said, "I'll go down to find you Ama now, you look at this old thing, if he wants to break free, you will bite him to death and eat meat." ”

Gege raised his eyelids and looked at me, yawning, I don't know if it understood, but it doesn't care so much right now.

In order to facilitate the escape in case of danger, I took out another rope, fixed one end to the trunk of the tree, and threw the other end down, so that when the two ropes went down, the three of them would not grab one rope when they encountered danger. With that ready, I thrust the dagger into my belt and grabbed the rope and slid down the cliff.

Seeing that I was about to reach the entrance of the cave, I couldn't help but be a little nervous, and suddenly the figure at the entrance of the cave flashed, Ah Jiu grabbed the rope and climbed up, hit my foot headlong, looked up, and shouted: "You come down and do a jb, go up quickly!" I saw that his face was pale and nervous, and he must have encountered some danger, so he hurriedly said, "You climb the rope next to him." Ah Jiu scolded, grabbed another rope and began to climb up desperately, and shouted in his mouth: "Don't be stunned, go up quickly,!" I was a little confused by him, and I hurriedly climbed up a few times, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and shouted: "Where's the knife?" ”

After saying that, I looked down and saw that the knife had already dodged out of the hole, grabbed the other body and quickly climbed up, and shouted when he saw me: "Run!" Immediately after, a fishy wind blew in my nose, and I suddenly saw a snake head sticking out of the hole, at least the size of a laptop, with black scales shining on its head, and the cold air hit people.

When I looked down, the blood-red eyes of the huge serpent's head were staring at me, and the fiery red letter was spit out and retracted, and the stench of the fish made my eyes black.

After a moment of shock, I immediately exclaimed, "Wow! I'm just going down to make soy sauce—" dragged a long tail note and climbed up desperately.
