Old man Zhang shook his head: "I asked him, and I said that I don't dare to say anything else in this Xiao Zhou Mountain, if you want to say where to find it, I will catch it." But your third uncle seems to have something unspeakable, and he didn't say it to me. I understood him, so I didn't ask any more questions. It's just that your third uncle has been holding the compass all the way, muttering in his mouth, and I can only accompany him all the time. After looking around, I found this valley of immortality. I told him that we had almost traveled all over the mountain, but this was the only place we hadn't visited. Your third uncle said at the time, that's basically it. ”

When I saw Old Man Zhang, I thought that I could learn from him about the intentions and purposes of the third uncle, but who knew that not only did we not ask, but it made us even more confused. What is the reason why the third uncle said goodbye to us and came here without hesitation, and refused to talk about it to outsiders?

Old man Zhang continued: "Don't you know what happened next? When I saw his resoluteness, I agreed to give him a three-day appointment. When he entered the valley, he waved at me, but before he could take a few steps, he was obscured by the thick mist. I shouted twice outside, but I didn't get any response from him. Since he walked into the Valley of Immortality, it was like stepping into an abyss, and he had not been heard from. ”

At this time, we were standing in the woods next to the mouth of the Immortal Valley, and while I listened to Old Man Zhang describe the actions of the third uncle at that time, the picture of the third uncle kept flashing in my mind.

At that time, the third uncle walked into the Valley of Immortality without hesitation, it was impossible for him not to know the danger inside, but he was still so persistent, there must be something he needed in it.

But it's easy for him to go, just give himself up, but he has suffered a few of us, and we have come all the way to find him, and I don't know what the result will be.

I hurriedly asked Old Man Zhang: "Three days later, did you see the third uncle?" ”

Old man Zhang shook his head: "No." In fact, during the time I got along with your third uncle, we were very angry with each other, and we also trusted each other very much. After your third uncle went in, I didn't leave for a moment. I have been guarding the valley mouth, waiting for three days, hoping that your third uncle can come out intact. I thought that after the others went in, they didn't come out because they didn't have the right way. Your third uncle is different, and I also admire his Taoist skills, I thought he would be different. But when the three-day appointment came, he did not come out of it as I had envisioned. ”

After a long time, Old Man Zhang talked about this again, and he still couldn't hide his disappointment.

It seems that he and the third uncle really get along with each other.

But at least the painting of the third uncle is in the hands of Old Man Zhang. explained that something happened three days later, and we didn't interject and continued to listen to Old Man Zhang.

Old man Zhang looked in the direction of the valley mouth and said: "I have been guarding the valley on the third day, but I don't know what will happen in the valley, and I don't dare to stand in front blatantly, and just like when you see me today, I dug a hole in the ground, and I got into the hole, and covered it with a layer of adobe covered with turf. I'm watching in the dark. As a result, it was noon, and there was no movement in the valley......

Only then did I understand how Old Man Zhang had just jumped out of the ground. It turned out that the pit was dug by him, and it was his hiding place.

"I was about to get out of the hole to see what was going on, when suddenly a black bird flew out of the valley. The bird looked a bit like a crow, and when it flew out, it seemed to be injured, and it didn't fly far before falling out of the air. Coincidentally, the spot where the bird fell was less than two meters away from my hole. I felt strange, so I went and grabbed the bird and took it in my arms. Fearing that something would happen, I went back into the hole, and I had just been hidden. I heard the sound of thumping footsteps outside. The footsteps were heavy, shaking the ground slightly. And it sounds like it's running out of the valley. ”

Fat Dahai asked, "The person who ran out of the valley?" Didn't you say that whoever went in didn't come out? ”

Old man Zhang nodded: "Yes." I was also puzzled, but I didn't dare show my head. I had to hide in the ground, and the footsteps ran back and forth above my head, and I was afraid that they would step directly on the soil layer I was camouflaging. Fortunately, they passed by the neighborhood several times and didn't notice me. In fact, I have been in the mountains for many years, and I am quite confident in my camouflage skills. If I hadn't wanted to see who you were today, and I didn't show a little bit of your feet, I'm sure you wouldn't have found me. ”

I believe what Old Man Zhang said. He has been active in the mountains for many years, and he is also a sawyman, so it is inevitable that he will encounter all kinds of dangers when walking in the mountains and forests. Doing a good job of camouflage can often save oneself from danger.

When Old Man Zhang said this, his face was a little ugly. It seems that there are still some lingering feelings about what happened at that time.

I asked curiously, "Uncle Zhang, who are those people you haven't seen yet?" ”

Old man Zhang shook his head: "It's really ashamed to say it. You know, I've been working in the mountains as a sawyman for many years, and I've seen everything. Whether it's beasts, beasts, or ghosts, I've never been afraid. But I listened to the footsteps above underground, and I felt terrified. It's as if the above ones are all plague gods who are asking for their lives. I didn't dare to make a sound, let alone move the place. It wasn't until the sound had died down for a while that I dared to climb up from underneath. Alas, it's so old, I'm afraid you're going to laugh at it......"

We all shook our heads solemnly, all of us present were people who understood, and it was really normal for old man Zhang to be in this situation. Sometimes, the threat that invisible fear brings to you is also everywhere. This feeling can only be understood, but not expressed. Those who have not experienced it, will never understand.

After saying this, Old Man Zhang was afraid that we would find out, so he secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead. It can be seen how much pressure the situation brought to him at that time.

However, Old Man Zhang's action, made at this time, is a bit like a child, and it looks a little unbearable. But it's hard for us to say it, so we all pretend not to see it.

Old man Zhang continued: "After I came out, everything was as usual outside. There was not a single figure in sight. It's as if nothing had just happened. If it weren't for the blackbird in my arms, I would have suspected that what had just happened was a hallucination. I took the bird out and found it on its feet with the picture in your hand. ”
