At this time, Lu Zhi suddenly tried to cross the barrier with all his might, and began to run towards the forbidden place on the top of the mountain that the aborigines said.

It's just that Lu Zhi showed a happy expression that I have never seen in the past few days, I secretly thought in my heart that I had to stop him, I woke up my sleeping companion in the tent brilliantly, we followed him closely, kept shouting that he wanted to stop him, but he struggled to break free, shouting: "Xiaoting, you continue to tell me where to find you, you wait for me."

He ran faster and faster in a frenzy, and we struggled to keep up, but luckily we split up and had a companion come with the patriarch.

When the patriarch rushed over, his expression changed greatly, and he sighed lightly: "Another person whose heart is bewitched by the voice." ”

We all had a bad premonition that the patriarch prevented us from crossing the barrier, and we could only watch as Lu Zhi had already crossed the barrier and stood on the forbidden ground on the edge of the cliff.

No matter how we called him back, he was unmoved and stood there in a daze, and after a long time, he finally turned his head to look at us, with a happy smile on his face, but the smile was so bright but it was also particularly dazzling in the night sky: "Xiaoting, she talked to me a lot tonight, she told me that she was waiting for me below, and we can finally be together." ”

"Lu Zhi, are you crazy, do you want to die, that's a cliff jumping will kill people." Lu Zhi still didn't seem to hear us talk to him, and he still talked to himself with a happy face.

I looked at the patriarch anxiously: "We have to find a way to save him quickly, how can we sit still like this, what if he really can't think of jumping down?" You've been on this top of the mountain for so many years, there's always a way. ”

The team leader was unusually calm and ordered the villagers to stop us: "We can't help it. He is a person who is confused by the voice, and the only one who can save him is himself, depending on whether he is willing to come out or not. We are holding you back because we don't want more people to be confused and have accidents. As soon as the patriarch's words were finished, we saw Lu Zhi staring ahead: "Xiaoting, of course I believe what you say, I will go down to find you if I listen to you." ”

Then we watched Lu Zhi, such a good young man, jump off the cliff without hesitation.

I felt like I was in a dream, so unreal, I was unconscious, and I stayed there for a long time, until I heard the patriarch sigh beside me, "It's still coming, come with us." ”

When I came back to my senses, my emotions inevitably became excited, "Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on, Lu Zhi is just a good person?" Aren't you the ones who are guarding this place, there is nothing you can do about it, so why are you staying here?" I asked the patriarch beside me.

"We're waiting, it seems that it's really here, this is the third one," the head of the household replied with some confusion.

"Could it be that as you said before, there really are ghosts, and that deceptive voice really exists? What are you guarding here and waiting for? Faced with my question, the patriarch said four words with an expressionless face: "Ten thousand faces and ghost sounds." ”

"What's the ghost sound?" I interrupted Xiao Lao's memories

Lao Xiao glanced at me: "It is a kind of invisible sound, because of people's desires and greed transformed into monsters, can conjure up thousands of sounds to confuse people, but also can penetrate people's inner desires, weaving illusions, once people who are confused by sound fall into the illusion and can't extricate themselves, then they will definitely die, and this ghost sound is to rely on the continuous absorption of people's desires to survive in the world, not born or die." ”

"The patriarch told you?" Zhou Xuran looked directly at Lao Xiao.

"No, the patriarch didn't say anything, he just watched us rush to the camp in a panic, and indifferently warned us that we should not tell anyone what I saw and experienced today."

"The patriarch didn't say it, how did you know about such a monster as the Ghost Sound of Ten Thousand Faces?"

Lao Xiao didn't answer my question, but continued to tell what happened later that night: "After the incident that night, I felt that this place was not like a fairy tale world in paradise, but more like a terrifying curse hidden in the dark, and I felt very afraid, and I was even afraid that the rest of us would also disappear without a trace under this cliff like this." We hurried to our camp in a bit of a panic, packing up our things, thinking that we should hurry down the mountain no matter how dark the night was.

Seeing our situation, the patriarch stood beside us and said indifferently, "I warned you to leave when it was dark, because it was you who insisted on staying here, and it was the obsession and desire in his heart that caused confusion and trouble. In the current situation, it seems that the others should be fine, and I advise you to stay here quietly, and do not stir up the crowd if you don't want to continue to happen tonight. As soon as the morning dawns, you will hurry down the mountain. We didn't know how we got through that night, our eyes open, and our hearts were wrapped in fear. As soon as it was dawn, we all quickly packed up our things and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, we saw the so-called forbidden place again, thinking that such a good child as Lu Zhi left suddenly, disappeared without a trace, buried in this mountain, and felt very uncomfortable. ”

When Lao Xiao finished talking about this, he looked at us meaningfully: "When we went down the mountain, we tried to tell the real situation we encountered along the way to meet people who wanted to climb to the top of Mashan, but no one believed it. I also tried to tell the people around me who knew me as if I was just telling ghost stories. After we went down the mountain, we went to the local area to report the missing person, and they sent people to search for a while, but they did not find anyone, and there was no one alive or dead.

The reason why I am writing this anonymous letter is that I hope it will attract news or attention, or at least serve as a warning.

This is what you want to know about what I experienced at the top of Mashan Mountain that day, whether you believe it or suspect it, but I didn't expect that the submission of one of my anonymous letters would attract the attention of a person of your identity like Mr. Zhou. ”

Zhou Xuran suddenly looked at Lao Xiao meaningfully: "I believe what you said, I'm afraid there may be something you haven't told us, we can help you with the mystery you have been trying to solve." ”

"Hehe", Lao Xiao suddenly sneered: "Maybe, according to your ability, you can find me, and naturally you have the ability to help me solve the mystery, but why should I believe you, the thing is here, I can choose to take it out or destroy it." ”

Ji Ran and I looked at Zhou Xuran, I always thought that there were some things that only I reacted slowly to and didn't know, but I looked at Ji Ran's expression and it was obvious that he didn't seem to know some things, Zhou Xuran was always like this, some things were told to us every time, and some things were hidden from us, in fact, I didn't like his mysterious style, we were obviously people from a revolutionary team, I felt that he kept a hand, as if he didn't trust us.

"Lao Xiao, although I haven't completely figured out what else is going on between you and Zhou Xuran, Ji Ran and I can promise you that I will never force you." Ji Ran glanced at me, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Xuran, I actually saw from his eyes that he was disliking me for having too many things, implying that I was better off having more things than having less.

Lao Xiao suddenly changed his words: "This girl has a straight temper and a good temperament, in fact, I like your honesty as soon as you come in." It seems that there are some things that Mr. Zhou didn't tell you completely. ”

"Now that this is the case, I can tell you what I know later, and I can show you the things, but you can't take them with you." Zhou Xuran did not speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Lao Xiao got up suddenly, leaving us here, and mysteriously went to get something.

After a long time, Lao Xiao finally came, holding a delicate little box in his hand, and he was still sitting opposite us. He looked at me with a gentle smile, "That's it, I can show you, but I want to know what you're doing it for." ”

"We have our own reasons, in short, it is not a bad thing, and a gentleman does not take the favor of others." Zhou Xuran said very vaguely.

"In this way, I like to be cheerful, I promise to show you this thing, since you are together, then this Miss Yang has seen it, that is, it has been shown to you, so only this Miss Yang can see it, you two can drink tea here, Miss Yang will follow me to the study."

After Lao Xiao finished speaking, I followed behind him, and I was secretly refreshed in my heart, "Let you hide it from me, I also have a secret, if you don't tell me, I can not tell you this time." I followed behind Lao Xiao with some excitement and looked at the two men with unhappy faces.

I followed Lao Xiao to his attic, I didn't expect it to be another world, there is a study on it, to be exact, it is more like a small library, but the decoration is not the same as the living room below, it is completely antique, the dense bookshelves are full of books, I looked around, there are many ancient books, some books are also some years old, and they are estimated to be worth a lot. I looked at these books and became fascinated, in fact, I was also influenced by my grandfather when I was a child, and I used to be a good reader, but now I seem to have not read them for a long time when I am entangled in various things.

I looked at it for a long time, and I was fascinated, and Lao Xiao was just silently beside me. "There are a lot of classics and ancient books here, I read a lot of ancient books when I was a child, and I think I have read a lot, but today I saw you here is really a long insight, some of these books are not common in the market, if you allow, I want to borrow a few from you next time I have the opportunity to go back and see."

Lao Xiao looked at me with a smile: "I didn't expect that the person who was so straightforward and quick-tempered just now was also a person who could calm down and read ancient books. ”

"Lao Xiao, you are so amazing, I just read some books that should be out of print."

"Nothing is powerful, I'm ashamed to say it, my family is also a scholarly family, my ancestors have good books, left a lot of classics, when these books were placed in the past, it was too troublesome, until recent years slowly became interested, recently I have calmed down, not so much that I like to read, but I prefer to study the stories in these ancient books."
