Isn't it strange that a small hotel at the foot of Mount Taibai has many cars parked in front of it, but there is no one staying in the hotel? Where have all the people gone? This made me feel alarmed. After being silent for a long time, he picked up the wine glass on the table, drank more than two taels of liquor in the glass, and sighed to us under the effect ......of spicy and alcohol: "The owners of these cars may have died."

I was shocked when I heard this, so I asked him, "What's the matter?" ”

Boss Wang sighed: "This place in Qinling has been a treasure place of feng shui for emperors to seek medicine and alchemy for immortality since ancient times, and it is also the birthplace of our Chinese Taoism. Don't look at the silence of this mountain range, in fact, there is a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this mountain! ”

I said to Boss Wang: "I have also heard a little about this matter, it is said that there are many masters living in seclusion in the Qinling Mountains, including Taoist priests, onmyoji, alchemy and medicine, and immortal cultivation...... However, most of these things are false, and the credibility is not high. And I don't understand, what does this have to do with the cars parked outside the door? ”

Boss Wang said: "I have lived in Qinling for 20 years, and I have also gone into the mountains several times to look for precious wood. One year I broke my ankle in the mountains, and I couldn't move while sitting on the ground, and there was no cell phone signal. Do you know that at night on Taibai Mountain, the temperature can reach as low as minus 25 degrees, and I sat on the ground and watched the night gradually come, and my heart was desperate to the extreme. At this time, a middle-aged man with black hair and black beard happened to pass by me, and he took out a black-green snake from the basket behind his back, killed the snake and tied it to my ankle. ”

Pudding listened attentively and asked urgently, "And then?" What happened? ”

Boss Wang said: "We all know the hard truth of "100 days to break your muscles and bones". In other words, once a person has injured his muscles and bones, he must cultivate for 100 days before he can recover. And the middle-aged man tied the snake to my ankle, and my broken foot recovered overnight, and the next day it moved freely, which is not surprising to you! You know, I could even hear the "click" of my own bones growing rapidly that night? ”

Uncle Lao Yang frowned and said: "Boss Wang doesn't look like a liar, hehe, I didn't expect there to be such a strange thing in this world, but I don't know where this master went later?" Boss Wang, can you still contact him? ”

Boss Wang shook his head and said, "This middle-aged man with black hair and black beard, since he saw me, he hasn't said a word to me, and he hasn't confiscated my money. When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "How can a person like this outside the world talk too much to an ordinary man like me, he just saves me to see me pitiful, for others, this is just a gesture." ”

I said, "Boss Wang, what you said is indeed a miracle. But I still don't understand, what does this have to do with the cars parked outside the door? ”

Boss Wang said: "It is because there is really such a worldly master in the Qinling Mountains, so many people who are terminally ill, they know that modern medicine can no longer save them, so they pin their hopes on the Qinling Mountains and dream of entering this mountain range to get a great opportunity." Forty-four cars were parked in front of my little hotel, all of them were terminally ill, and they told me that they would come back to pick up the cars when they were cured in the mountains, but none of them had come back for 20 years......

Boss Wang couldn't help but feel a little sad when he said this, took another glass of liquor, and sighed to us: "Alas, it's been twenty years, batch after batch, all of them are poor people...... They should have died in the mountains a long time ago. I'm going to do it for another three years, and if no one comes back to pick up the cars, I'm going to get rid of them all and wait for them......"

Listening to Boss Wang's words, several of us also felt a little sad in our hearts, it turned out that in the past 20 years, although he seems to be just an ordinary hotel owner, in fact, he is more like a "mausoleum keeper"!

We chatted with Boss Wang while drinking, and Pudding asked him, why didn't you call the police if people disappeared one after another over the years? Boss Wang shook his head and said, the police work in the city, but in the mountainous areas, especially in the Qinling Mountains, it doesn't work at all. In addition to a few tourist attractions, this place in Qinling is surrounded by no man's land, and thousands of people go missing here every year, and three people are missing almost every day, how do you let the police find them? You can't find it even if you call the troops to come.

A few of us nodded, thinking that this was indeed the truth, but Boss Wang said something strange......

He said:

In the past 20 years, almost every year, terminally ill people have left their cars with him and then gone into the mountains to look for opportunities. Boss Wang knows that these people are people who have not been alive for a few days, once they enter the mountain, as long as they do not come back for two or three months, they must have died in the mountain, maybe they fell off the cliff, maybe they were eaten by wild beasts, or they had a disease attack on their bodies. So he didn't think about calling the police at all, nor did he think about going to the mountains to look for them, because it was useless to look for them, and these people would definitely die.

But three months ago, a couple took a five-year-old girl into the mountains. But this girl is not suffering from any terminal illness, but often have nightmares at night, once the nightmare is a ghost crying wolf howl, the cry is different from ordinary children, terrifying, this kind of thing is nothing for a day or two, but after a long time, it must disturb the family is not peaceful.

The old man in their family was superstitious, saying that the child was afraid that there was something unclean outside, so she asked her parents to take her into the mountain, find a Taoist priest in the mountain to take a look, drink some paper charm water, and smoke it with peach wood.

A few of us widened our eyes and listened to Boss Wang's Kan Dashan with relish, and when he said this, he couldn't help frowning, and pondered: "It stands to reason that this girl just loves to have nightmares, what's the big deal, I'll come back if I can't cure it." But why haven't they even come back......"

Through the window, he pointed to a white Honda sedan and said, "This is their car, it's been three months, and no one has come back to pick it up yet." ”

I was stunned and said, "That's not right, this family is not a terminal illness, it stands to reason that no matter how cured it is, it will come back." Why hasn't he come back for three months? Did something happen to them in the mountains? Boss Wang, you don't want to look for it? ”

Boss Wang said helplessly: "Who said I don't want to look for it, after all, it's also three lives!" But it's the first time you've come to Qinling, and you don't know how dangerous it is! Entering this mountain range alone is equivalent to sending me to death, no one will accompany me, I don't dare to enter the mountain alone even if I have eight guts! ”

Zhou Boren, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke at this time, and he said in a low voice: "Boss Wang, this matter is indeed very strange. Truth be told, we are a national professional archaeological team. As he spoke, he took out a document and handed it to Boss Wang.

Zhou Boren continued: "If you need help, there is no doubt that we are the most suitable. Now that we know these three human lives, we cannot sit idly by. I don't think it's as good as this, you have lived in the Qinling Mountains for 20 years and are familiar with the local situation, I officially hired you as the guide of our team to enter the mountains this time, what do you think? Let's go out into the mountains and see what's going on......"
