It wasn't until the sound of the truck started behind him that Xu Yuanyang really walked into the village, the surrounding houses have long been unoccupied, and after days and nights of wind and rain, they have become dilapidated, and those former green tile roofs, and now even the entire roof is crumbling.

Tomorrow is not yet dark, the whole village is quiet, and the sound of Xu Yuanyang's high heels stepping on the ground is particularly abrupt in such an environment.

As the truck driver had said, the place was dead silent. It's deserted, lifeless everywhere you look.

"I don't know if he still lives in that place."

Xu Yuanyang squinted slightly, looking at the houses with the same style all around, how could they all be in the same architectural style as him? Suddenly, I didn't know which way to go.

"Sure enough, I'm getting older, and I'm starting to lose track of it." Xu Yuanyang had no choice but to walk aimlessly in the village, turning left and right and returning to the original place.

A gust of wind blew, rolling up three or two fallen leaves on the ground, and also blowing up the layer of ash that was attached to the ground, "Ahem." ”

She reached out and fanned the air in front of her, covering her nose, trying to block these fine particles floating in the air, but helplessly, as long as she breathed, a steady stream of dust choked into Xu Yuanyang's lungs.

The changes in this place in the past ten years are really not ordinary, and the village that was originally full of people is really a little deserted now......

"Girl, this is not the place for you." An old voice came from behind her.

Xu Yuanyang was shocked in her heart, she didn't even notice this person's approach.

She turned around suddenly, only to see an old man standing five steps away from her who was only up to her waist, he was hunched over, put his hands behind his back, and raised his head to meet Xu Yuanyang's gaze, and the corners of his mouth slowly opened a strange arc.

After seeing the old man's face clearly, Xu Yuanyang breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be you, Master." ”

"Oh, listen to this voice, are you a mandarin duck? Alas, you see, this person, after getting older, his eyesight began to be bad, I knew that this Seven Life Gu was so easy to use, and I also planted one on my body. ”

"Master, don't laugh, it's not like you haven't seen how uncomfortable I was tortured by these Seven Life Gu." Xu Yuanyang stood in place, letting the old man look around her.

The old man touched his white beard and sighed, "Tut-tut, you really haven't changed at all." ”

"Master, are you a little shorter?"

"It's more than a few, I remember that when you came up, I was as tall as you."

"You're tough."

"Listening to what you said, it seems that I want to go to Lord Yama to report quickly?"

"How come, Master, didn't you invite me to your place for a cup of tea?" Xu Yuanyang saw that the old man still had a tendency to continue to stay in this dusty place, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"That's right."

The old man untied the crutch tied to his back, and with it, slowly walked around Xu Yuanyang and walked towards the depths of the village.

Xu Yuanyang followed the old man closely, for fear that he would get lost again in this place where he looked the same.

"Why are you so close to me?"

The old man in front of him suddenly stopped, Xu Yuanyang almost didn't react, and hurriedly took a few steps back before the old man walked again.

Isn't it unseeing......

The old man stopped in front of a house in the deepest part of the village, which was noticeably more popular than the houses outside.

"Come in." The old man put his cane outside the door and lit several oil lamps on the wall, and the originally dim room instantly brightened up a lot, "You sit first, I'll make tea." ”

"I'd better go, Master."

"You can't even boil water, so you can sit honestly."

Xu Yuanyang was speechless by the old man, so he had to sit down obediently and wait for the old man to come out of the kitchen.

Waiting a little bored, Xu Yuanyang began to squint and look at the furnishings in the room, which was still almost the same as the furniture ten years ago, the equipment and tools under the tomb were still placed in the corner by the window, and the medicine cabinet next to it was still full of the names of many medicinal materials that had never been seen before, the only difference was that the only window in the room had been nailed to death by the old man with a wooden bar.

"You came to me this time, which fight are you going to play?" The old man came out of the kitchen with a teapot and two teacups, and placed the teacups in front of himself and Xu Yuanyang respectively.

"Xia Yuan's tomb."

The old man's hand shaking as he poured the tea, and he accidentally poured the tea out of the teapot, he quickly brought a tea towel and sucked the tea dry before the tea on the table flowed to the ground.

"Are you crazy?"

"I'm serious, Master."

"You know that I have sprinkled medicine all over that place, and the mechanism inside is even more ruthless, you said that you asked me to do this to protect Xia Yuan, and now you want to break into this place yourself?"

"So I'm not coming to you, am I? Besides, it's not me, it's Xia Yuan in this life, they said that they were going to this place to practice, and I couldn't rest assured that they wouldn't be able to do it. ”

The old man drank a sip of tea, but he couldn't hold back, and all of them squirted out, and Xu Mandarin Duck flashed to the side, only to be spared from being splashed by the old man's tea.

"Xia Yuan in this life? Crazy, you are all crazy, where to go to experience it is not good, but you have to go to the imperial tomb of your previous life. ”

Xu Yuanyang could obviously feel the unhappiness in the old man's words. Ten years ago, the old man had clearly told himself that he would not touch anything about the underground again, but now, when it is clear that the old man should enjoy his old age, he still wants to trouble the old man because of this kind of thing.

"Let's not talk about that, Master, do you know why this place has become the way it is? Why are people outside saying that this village is haunted? ”

"Alas, you said this, in the final analysis, it is because of this imperial tomb of the Xia Dynasty, you may not know that the main tomb of the imperial tomb is at the bottom of Chujia Village."

"Right down here? But it didn't seem to be the environment around me at the time. ”

"That's naturally because the place where they were buried at that time was not here, but since a few years ago, I don't know who knows that the imperial tomb is under this village, and then there are constantly tomb robbers, who come to this village when they hear the news, and you also know their purpose, what they covet is just the treasure underneath. This group of tomb robbers has the ability to go down, but they don't have the life to come up, they are all buried in the organs below, and after a long time, it has been passed around, and it has become a haunted village, and this time and two, I am the only one left in the village. ”

"So there's nothing that doesn't have a ghost." Xu Yuanyang finally understood why the truck driver said that the village could not be visited, and why he said that it was haunted.

"In the end, that's just the imagination of modern people."
