In the knee-deep grass, the four of us walked through the morning dew with difficulty, and no one said a word except gasping, and now we had gone around Muyang Village.

My pants were soaked with dew and I had to pull up my cuffs. But the sharp blades inevitably cut the skin, and the mood was a little irritable.

Uncle Li's words broke the silence of the group, "According to my exploration for so many years, there is a thousand-year-old tomb in the north of Heigou Village, let's go there to see if there is any gain." ”

He seemed to have raised his voice deliberately, and when he heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in Cai Wen's eyes, and the iron pillar still smiled harmlessly.

Now I am even more sure of the speculation in my heart, of course they can't be so stupid to take this risk in order to find Purple Tomb Moss to save me, they must all have their own purposes... But... There are so many things that are hard to guess.

I do know a little bit about Heigou Village. Heigou Village is thirty miles west of Muyang Village, but the two villages are separated by a big mountain, named Moshan, because of this natural danger, the two villages rarely come and go, and the customs and habits are not the same.

However, what impressed me was that the old people in the village said that there is a custom of cannibalism in Heigou Village!

I asked Uncle Li worriedly, "Then will we pass through Heigou Village?"

"Nope." Old Uncle Li frowned and shook his head, "Let's go around from the side." ”

We continued to walk, and gradually, the village of Muyang behind me had disappeared from my field of vision, and the road was overgrown with weeds, which could not be described as a barren mountain or a wild mountain.

There are some black locusts tens of meters high and some camphor trees on every part of the road, and few people should come here.

"Hey!" Iron Pillar suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Uncle Li asked.

"That, master... I... Bubble pee. Tiezhu said, "Trouble wait for me a little." ”

"Come back soon." Camel Lao Li sat down and took out his pipe, "That's right, let's rest too." Sit down and eat something. ”

The iron pillar burrowed headlong into the grass.

"Come back soon." Camel Lao Li said again with a pipe in his mouth.

I took half of the pancake out of my bag and nibbled on it.

"That," Cai Wen said, "it's already afternoon, where are we going to sleep at night?" ”

I chuckled in my heart and looked around, what poisonous snakes, big-tailed wolves, blind bears, and blind bears came out of this deep mountain and old forest at night... What to do with something?

Camel Lao Li exhaled a breath of smoke, "Don't worry, can I still sell you?" I've been here before, and there's a village called Wangjiazhuang not far ahead, so let's sleep there. ”

So we reverted to silence.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a roar of fear exploded in the woods, startling the crows in the trees.

My heart lifted at once.

"It's an iron pillar, go and see it!" Old Uncle Li jumped up and rushed over.

Seeing this, I was slightly shocked, this old man looked like he was about to enter the coffin, but his body was so agile! Cai Wen and I followed closely.

I rushed into the grass and found no human figure except for a puddle of yellow, turbid liquid, "Brother Tie, where are you?" I yelled blankly.

Mixed with fresh air, there was a hint of blood slipping into my nostrils. Not good! A strong sense of unease welled up in my heart.

"Brother Tie won't have an accident." Cai Wen's face turned a little pale.

Old Uncle Li, who was running in front, suddenly stopped and bent down to fiddle with something.

Could it be that the pillar of iron has fallen? Cai Wen and I hurriedly ran over, and I asked, "Uncle Li, have you found anything?" ”

Old Uncle Li didn't answer, just looked at the blades of grass on the ground.

The blades of grass were stained with blood, dripping and ticking, and the amount of bleeding seemed to be not small, and it was still extending into the distance.

"What should I do?" Cai Wen's face was completely pale, and his body trembled slightly, "Iron Pillar.... It was taken away by a wolf! There's a wolf around here! He almost cried and said, "Or... Let's go back, huh? Let's go back. ”

Cai Wen's call made my heart a little panicked, this guy's ability to bear it is really poor.

Old Uncle Li suddenly glared angrily, and said coldly, "Shut up Lao Tzu." There was a chill in his tone.

Cai Wen was reprimanded and stopped talking, and his face was very embarrassed.

I wanted to say a few words, but I swallowed back the words when I looked at Uncle Li's stern expression.

Old Uncle Li rubbed a little blood with his fingers and smacked it in his mouth, and the nervous expression on his face suddenly relaxed, "This is not the blood of the pillar, if it is really a wolf, the pillar will be knocked over with one punch." ”

Cai Wen breathed a long sigh of relief, "That... What about Brother Tie? ”

Uncle Li said: "We follow the bloodstains to find, we should be able to find it." ”

"Indeed." I picked up the red hair on the ground and said, "It should be some kind of animal blood." ”

We followed the trail of blood, which became less and less, but the scattered hairs grew larger, and finally disappeared into a large bunch of bushes.

My Adam's apple slid up and down, "Here it is." I reached out and flicked it gently.

"Be careful." Uncle Li reminded, "I don't know what the hell will happen here. ”

The long blades of grass are gradually being pushed away....

"Haha!" Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from the front.

"It's an iron pillar!"

Not far ahead, a burly figure walked towards us carrying a long strip of soft and collapsed things, which kept flowing some liquid on the ground...

"You baby, where did you run?!" Old Uncle Li showed a hint of displeasure on his face.

"Brother Tie... It's fine if you're okay. Cai Wen said.

Tie Zhu didn't care about our words, and threw the thing in his hand to the ground, "Look what I caught!" "I stepped forward to take a look, and I couldn't help but feel a chill.

The thing on the ground turned out to be a fox with a fiery red fur, a long tail like a broom, covered in blood, and yellow-white eyes as big as quail eggs, glaring angrily ahead. His neck was twisted ninety degrees in a terrible way, and sticky blood flowed from his mouth.

But the creepy thing is that the fox's face is actually white! The hair on the face is also relatively sparse, with a tall nose, slender eyebrows, narrow Danfeng eyes, and clear facial features... It's like.... The face is the same! And the appearance is exquisite...

"This.... Isn't it just a human face?! Cai Wen's voice was like a mosquito, and his voice trembled.

A human face grows on a fox, I swallow and spit on it, it's so weird, it feels like facing a dead person!

"Hey!" "I was startled at first, but then I realized that this thing was similar to the red ghost in the ravine. ”

Red Ghost? Could it be that there are ghosts in the mountains? I asked curiously, "What's a red ghost?" ”

Uncle Li said, "It's a jackal." You cultural people like to say that jackals are jackals, but jackals are jackals, wolves are wolves, these two beasts are different, jackals are smaller than wolves, but more cunning. ”

Cai Wen said: "I never saw this kind of jackal when I was a child. ”

Tie Zhu said: "I have only seen this kind of white-faced jackal in the big forest in the northern mountains, the ghost is clever and clever, and its intelligence is equivalent to that of an eight-year-old child. We all call it the white-faced ghost. I don't know how to get here today. ”

Cai Wen looked at the jackal carefully and said, "This white-faced ghost has yellow fur and is a cub who has just grown up. ”

I asked curiously, "Brother Cai Wen knows so much?"

Cai Wen's expression was slightly grim and said, "I... I also grew up in a ravine when I was a child. ”

Tie Zhu patted Cai Wen on the shoulder: "Yes, Wenzi is filial, knowing that his mother is sick and rushing back from the city if he doesn't go to college." ”

"Well... Finish. Cai Wen's face showed a hint of displeasure. Although he quickly hid it, I could see the expression so much that I could probably guess something...

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the cold corpse of the white-faced jackal, and I seemed to see that the animal's eyes showed a different color, the kind of fluctuation that was different from that of the animal, like a kind of helplessness and unwillingness that was extremely sad and desolate.

At this time, Uncle Li suddenly said: "Oh no, it's such a delay, I don't know if I can get to Wangjiazhuang before dark." ”

"What?" Cai Wen said: "I don't want to sleep here. ”

"Hurry up, hurry up."

We hurriedly packed our things and hurried forward.

Everything in the ravine gradually blurred in the dim twilight, and night finally fell.

In front of him was an endless grove, and from time to time a long and terrible wolf howl came out. In the twilight, the forest looks mysterious and menacing.

"Walk through this forest to Wangjiazhuang." Old Uncle Li looked at the forest and said.

Cai Wen said: "It's already dark this night, so it's not safe to walk through this wood." ”

I said, "Uncle Li, how long will it take to walk through this wood?"

Uncle Li gestured his fingers and said, "It will take at least two hours." ”

Cai Wen immediately died up and said, "The road can't be seen clearly, if you get lost inside, won't you have to walk to the middle of the night?" ”

Tiezhu said, "Let's find out if there is a place to rest nearby." What do you think? Master. ”

Old Uncle Li nodded: "This is the best." ”

The four of us stepped on the ground and touched... But finding a place to sleep in the wilderness is not easy.

After looking for a long time and not finding a decent place, Uncle Li said, "We will sleep on the tree tonight." "I think he's joking, but it doesn't look like he's serious.

When I felt that I was going to sleep on the branches, the iron pillar rushed over and excitedly shouted, "Come here! There's an ancient temple here! ”

"Ancient Temple! That's great! "I'm very happy.

Following the steps of the iron pillar, there was a tiled house in front of me, the ridge of the house was cocked to both sides, the red lacquered walls were a little faded, the broken red wooden door was closed, and there was a round red dot above the door. Two small stone lions are placed at the door, just like a low-profile version of the ancient imperial building.

"Haha! What do you think? What a nice place. The pillar kicked the door open.

I only remember the red dot on the door that can be used to ward off evil spirits, this barren mountain and wilderness... Why do I think this place is a little weird? I turned my head to look at Uncle Li, and his expression was not very good-looking.

"Bang!" With a loud bang. The door creaked and twisted to the sides.

A mouse swoops out of it, and the scene inside the house is in full view.

Our joy vanished in an instant. The four of them were stunned in place like wooden stakes, and their faces changed suddenly!

In the middle of the room is a coffin!

Old Uncle Li said coldly: "This is not a temple, it is a dead man's room. ”
