"Could it be the third uncle?" As soon as I got excited, I was ready to go inside.

Liang Yue grabbed me: "Be careful." If it's your third uncle, how can we run away after seeing it? ”

Ma Jian also said: "I also don't think that figure looks like your third uncle." ”

I nodded: "No matter who it is, it will appear here at this time, and it will be either a traitor or a thief." And when they see us and run, there must be something weird. There are three of us, or is it broad daylight, what's so scary? ”

As I spoke, I took a peachwood sword in my hand, and walked briskly through the half-collapsed walls.

Seeing that I took out my weapon, Liang Yue also took out a knife from his backpack and pulled the knife out of its scabbard.

I glanced at it and saw that the blade was narrow and long, about a foot, and although it was in the sun, it also felt cold.

I asked, "You still have this guy with you?" ”

Liang Yue smiled: "Be prepared." I want to see who made my aunt fall for the Tao and almost fall off the cliff. Hold him, you have to split him. ”

Seeing Liang Yue gritting his teeth and showing a fierce look in his eyes, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Liang Yue followed me to Nanliu Village this time, she was very low-key at the beginning, and she was not as impulsive as before, this style of acting was completely different from when we broke the eight coffins, and she was very good at stealing the limelight at that time.

I guess it was the third uncle's explanation to her before he left.

After arriving here, on the first day, they were caught in the Tao and were hooked by the soul attraction, and after a lot of tossing, I rescued her and Ma Yan. After that, due to the disappearance of the third uncle, due to the mood, we didn't communicate too much.

It wasn't until she entered this Nanliu Village that Liang Yue showed her extraordinary side. These are qualities that I don't have.

First of all, she was quick to think and doubted Xing Mo. Although Ma Yan denied it, in my opinion, Liang Yue's suspicions are very reasonable. It's just that we don't have any evidence for the time being, and we can't prove it to the old horse.

Now she grabbed the knife again and let out harsh words. I realized that she thought it was extremely humiliating for her to be hooked away. That's why I am resentful of the people behind this matter. There is a ruthlessness in her now, which I am ashamed of as a man.

"Liang Yue, do you think that the whole thing we came here, such as the before and after of the cliff burial, was controlled by someone? But as far as I know, this cliff burial is fixed on two days a year, and we just happened to meet it. I asked.

"You're an elm head, too. It's definitely not easy, if you don't believe it, just watch. After Liang Yue finished speaking, he waved the knife in his hand.

The knife glowed in the sunlight, and my eyes glazed.

At this moment, I also feel that the whole thing is a bit chaotic when analyzed now. I didn't have much reasoning skills, and now I'm even more dizzy. I just didn't think about it anymore, and I thought about taking it one step at a time.

Liang Yue grabbed the front with a knife, and Ma Jian and I also followed and walked over.

After crossing the low walls, it was as if I had entered a courtyard

。 Because there is a wall on all sides, and although the wall has collapsed, the half-collapsed wall just forms an enclosed field.

On one side of the site, there is another ruin.

The ruins had more broken adobe bricks and were piled up like hills. Ma Tan walked over, picked up two tiles and looked at them, and then turned out a copper bell from it, and shook it, the copper bell was still intact and could make a bell sound.

The sound sounded a bit like a startling bird bell in a temple.

Sure enough, Ma Jian looked at a large area of ruins and said, "This seems to be a temple, I don't know when it collapsed." ”

"It's like there's a plaque." Liang Yue also made a discovery over there, pointing to his feet and said.

We walked over and cleaned up the rocks and floating soil on it, and sure enough, there was a dilapidated plaque underneath, the plaque had been smashed in two, and we put the sign together and saw that the words on it read: Bird King Temple.

"Bird King Temple? Is that the bird king Qin Wuyu? I blurted out.

Ma Jian nodded: "It seems to be." It should be that the villagers of Nanliu Village set up this ancestral hall for him in order to thank Qin Wuyu for saving his life. It's just that what this village has experienced, even this ancestral hall has not been saved. ”

I looked around, and it was empty because the walls of the courtyard had collapsed, and I didn't see any people at a glance.

But at the back of the yard I saw a very tall tree, with no leaves on it, only dry branches. Around this so-called Bird King Temple, there are all rubble and ruins, and there are no other trees, so this tree is particularly abrupt.

The three of us left the ruins and came under the tree.

This slightly abrupt tree, the age of the tree should not be short, the body of the tree is vertical and horizontal, and the body is three hugs thick. The branches of the tree are also very varied, stretching and intertwined. But unfortunately, there was not a trace of green on the tree, and it was clearly dead.

Ma Tan touched the trunk of the tree and called it a pity. Trees like this are also very precious if they survive.

In the entire Bird King Temple, there is nothing else to be found except for these. As for the figure that Ma Tan said he saw, he didn't even see it.

And in the entire Nanliu Village, no clues were found. Not only did he not find the third uncle, but the old stall also disappeared.

Now we came in, so to speak, in vain, and I couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

Ma Jian said: "Will there be another exit from this village, and the old man has already left from the exit?" ”

I shook my head, these were just speculations, and I couldn't say for sure.

Ma Jian opened his backpack, took out a few bags of bread, and handed them to Liang Yue and me: "Fill your stomach first, and then go find the exit after eating." I always feel like there's something going on, but I don't know what to do. ”

I mechanically took the bread, tore open the package and took a few bites. Due to his impatience, he has no sense of taste at this time, and nibbling on bread tastes like chewing wax.

The three of us leaned against the dead tree, each munching on bread.

As far as the eye can see, the entire Nanliu Village is barren. Not to mention the green trees, there is very little grass on the ground. It doesn't look like a valley, but rather a barren Gobi desert.

But here too

It's not that there is no grass, but on this part of the road, we often see a kind of yellow grass, which grows in clusters, and the leaves and stems are hard and spiky, which I have never seen before.

As soon as I sat down, I happened to have a tuft of this strange grass at my feet. I reached for a closer look.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, I was stopped by Ma Jian in a loud voice: "Don't move." ”

Ma Tan leaned over and looked at the grass, as if thinking about something, and muttered: "Strange, how can there be this kind of grass here?" ”
