Zhimaling Nianjiazhai is different from other mountains, and a mountain road will reach the city. It was an isolated hideaway. The nine curves of the moat are coiled between the stacked mountains and green mountains, and the villages at the foot of the mountain are scattered.

Baicao Town.

Approaching the end of the year, the town will always be lively once, on the reason, since the city people of the dignitaries come to the mountains to collect agarwood to pay New Year's greetings, or to collect wild goods to worship the ancestors. The elders in the village are busy, and naturally have no time to care about a group of babies, so every Chinese New Year, the nearby town has become a good place for children to have fun and relax.

"I said boss, Mr. Meng is really good-tempered, so let you out?"

"I told my father that I had a good Qi Nan incense some time ago, but I couldn't be free, so he let me out, and it happened that he also invited Lang Zhong to see a doctor today, and I was inconvenient." Meng Jingluan took a wildflower in his mouth, and swaggered into the town with two little followers, Li Ning and Ye Peilan, "Why can't you come here today?" Is his sturdy mother angry again? ”

Young Li Ning frowned, glanced at Ye Peilan, and his voice sank by three points, "Boss, Chunsheng's father said that he went to Shenxian Ridge to pick cinnamon at dusk yesterday, and he hasn't returned all night." This morning, Uncle Dong and Aunt An have gone to look for it. ”

Meng Jingluan was stunned when he heard this.

What is Fairy Ridge?

The mountain near Sesame Ridge is connected by an intermittent mountain road, although the distance is only seven or eight miles, but my father never let her go. The old people of Nianjiazhai have been passed down from generation to generation, saying that it is a fierce place. What Wong Tai Sin, dwarf mules, water monkeys...... Although there is no shortage of precious herbs in the mountains, few people dare to take this risk. Even the experienced ones who entered the mountain in groups had to rush back before dusk. Otherwise, at night, you will not be able to find a way out, and you will be trapped in it for the rest of your life.

"In this case, I don't think we should go to Baicao Town to sell any herbs, while the sky is still early, go into the mountains to find Chunsheng, if you are lucky, you may be able to get a good herb or two, and it is unknown to sell some money."

Although Meng Jingluan's father is the only teacher in the village, this does not hinder her temperament in the slightest. The wild is outstanding, the wild is perfect, and I have always remembered these secrets. Ye Peilan was so frightened that her face was pale, "Boss, you don't want to die?" Chunsheng's father is very remorseful, there is an evil door in that place, aren't we going to die! ”

Li Ning said angrily, "The woman's family really has long hair and short knowledge... Ouch! He didn't finish his words, and was given by Meng Jingluan, and hurriedly flattered, "... Boss, I don't mean you. The demonic place of the Immortal Ridge is just a cloud of people and a rumor. Who knows if Chunsheng is really on the way, or if he is in the mountains and does not want to go back? Anyway, if I had a mother like him, I'd rather not go back. ”

When the three of them were arguing, Meng Jingluan's back was suddenly patted, but Wen Yi said in a low male voice, "Several, please stay." ”

She took the lead to look back, only to see that the man was wearing a dark hat, a wide-sleeved round-necked gray robe, a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and a coarse cloth bag behind him, his body was long and thin, and his body exuded a cold atmosphere.

Li Ning was alert and protected the two women behind him, "Who are you?" ”

The man hugged his sword around his chest, his voice was cold, and his tone did not carry the slightest wave, "Don't go to Immortal Ridge." If it is so easy to really collect medicine, how can no one rush to go here with a reward of a hundred taels of gold. That place is definitely not for ordinary people to set foot in at will, so go back as soon as possible. ”

Li Ning and Ye Peilan each glanced at each other, only to feel that this man was too frivolous, and his speech was cold, and he was very angry. Meng Jingluan also crossed his arms around his chest and smiled at the man, "This old man, you persuaded our class teacher to return to the court, should you be thinking about going alone?" Don't look at my young age, but I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, what mountains have I never seen, why can't I go to this mountain? If you want to go with you, I can take you with me......

The man took a step forward suddenly, the momentum was compelling, the three of them retreated one after another, and Li Ning couldn't help but say, "What are you going to do in broad daylight?" ”

"I still have someone to save, I don't have time to rap with you, you don't listen to advice, you gave your life in the mountains in vain, don't regret it!" The man looked at everyone for a moment, and finally just pointed at Meng Jingluan coldly, turned around, and suddenly disappeared into the dense crowd.

"A good person, with a circle on his head, does he think he is the Jade Emperor?"

Meng Jingluan said, "The warlock who pretends to be a god and a ghost, don't pay attention to him." We'd be quicker, or we wouldn't be back before dark. By the way, Li Ning, there are inevitably jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, did you bring a guy for self-defense? ”

Li Ning smiled and showed off the huge scythe of the peerless ancestor in his family.

"Don't worry, boss, the guy is complete!"

....

Walking out of Baicao Town, the further east you go, the more difficult the road becomes, and the two sides of the street are gradually remote, and the roadside is overgrown with weeds, which is a scene that is about to enter the mountain. After walking for another half an hour, the mountain road twisted and turned, and gradually the grass and trees gradually flourished, and it was into the legendary fairy ridge.

At first, the three of them talked and laughed, and no one passed the man's words past their ears. But it wasn't until Meng Jingluan and the others really entered the end of the Immortal Ridge that they vaguely noticed the abnormality.

The entire Immortal Ridge is too quiet.

When I entered the mountain, there was a main fork, and a stone tablet was erected in the center, with the big characters "Lonely Old Forest" written on it, and I don't know if it was because of the age, and the cinnabar had been dyed into a dark red blood. You must know that the Nianjia village where they are located relies on Sesame Ridge, it is winter, and there are a lot of wild things in the mountains, as big as wild deer and wild storks, as small as pika, but the woods of this fairy ridge are hooked into a piece, and the branches are entangled, so that it spreads for hundreds of miles, covering the sky and the sun, and even the glory of the sun is completely isolated.

The forest was silent, half a minute of birdsong and insect chirping, it seemed that even the leaves could be heard clearly, and it was three points colder than outside, shrouded in a chill soaked in the smell of grass and trees.

Li Ning shuddered, "It's so cold, why is it cold and deserted here, like a mass grave?" ”

Meng Jingluan pushed him, "Shaohun said, bad luck!" Although her voice was loud, she was not timid. However, in front of the two, he refused to fall into the boss's style.

Glancing over with his eyes, he saw a sturdy towering tree. His eyes rolled and he had an idea, "Li Ning, take off your pants." ”

"What???" The boy covered his chest and retreated again and again.

Meng Jingluan rolled his eyes, "If you want to take it off, you can take it off, and the sweat towel will be taken off and given to me!" ”

The custom of Sesame Ridge is to "touch the red" in the year of the birth, the rich people wrap the red rope to hang the gold lock, and the money is tied with a sweat scarf, saying that it is to ward off evil spirits, Tu Jili.

Meng Jingluan snatched the red silk in his hand and ran to the tree in three or two steps. Wrapping around the trunk of the tree, with a few clicks, he deftly climbed to a high place, tied the red silk to the trunk, and then jumped down and landed firmly on the ground.

She patted the ashes on her body, took out a few sections of broken incense from her sleeve and gave them to the two, and asked, "This is Panyun incense, half a section is two quarters of an hour, we use this incense for a period of time, entering the mountain is from the west, I am east, Peilan is south, Li Yu, you go to the north, when the incense burns out, whether you find Chunsheng or not, you will turn back here the same way, you know?" ”

The two of them nodded, and the three of them parted ways for a while, Meng Jingluan's footsteps were brisk, and he walked all the way, and when he looked back, the two had already disappeared.

The sound of the wind was like that of a beast, and it roared and swept over the large branches and leaves, and there was a loud noise. The chill intensified. Meng Jingluan took a deep breath, wrapped his not too thick burlap shirt, and from time to time paid attention to the broken stone path under his feet, and tried to move forward.

The feeling was both frightening and exciting. Even she couldn't tell.

Suddenly, there was a burning pain in her palm, she was startled, and then looked at her left hand, and the incense burned out unconsciously.

Before you know it, it's been two quarters of an hour?

Meng Jingluan looked around, and suddenly his heart tightened.

It's foggy.

The fog that was so thick that you couldn't see your fingers dispersed, and the forest was foggy, like a divine realm, where could you find a touch of red silk on the tree?

How do I get back?

Meng Jingluan only felt a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and his back spine was also slightly cold. When I was about to turn back to the place with my memory, I suddenly smelled a wisp of bitter medicinal fragrance.

This unique incense is the smell of blood reishi!

Blood Lingzhi is a thousand gold, Meng Jingluan couldn't help but move slightly, although the mountains are strange at the moment, but if you can pick up the blood Lingzhi in vain, it will be a worthwhile trip, not to mention that there are a hundred taels of gold, my father is sick all the year round, and he is also a medicine tube, and if he gets the money, he can ask him to take a good look.

She raised her hand to remove the cascading branches, followed the source of the medicinal fragrance, and leaned over to touch it in the mist. Suddenly, there was a piece of abrupt submerge into the palm, coiled with a long beard, Meng Jingluan couldn't help but be overjoyed, holding the beard, but without waiting for her to exert herself, it had already fallen off, and when she picked it up, it was like a human, the roots were thin and long, and the whole body was dark red, which was undoubtedly the blood Ganoderma lucidum.

Busy with the baby's embrace, she thought about it, and wondered, no, this blood mushroom should be a parasitic herb born at the bottom of the tree's roots, why is it scattered here as if it was discarded?

Puzzled in her heart, she squatted down and looked closely, this look didn't matter, after seeing it clearly, she was so frightened that she sat on the grass.

Not far from that blood lingzhi, there was a person lying there!

Meng Jingluan only felt that his heart almost jumped out. When I had the courage to look at it again, I was surprised and delighted for a while, the person who was lying down, looking at his clothes and appearance, wasn't it the spring born who disappeared inexplicably?

With a sigh of relief, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hey, Chunsheng, Chunsheng!" How can you sleep here, wake up, Chunsheng! ”

As if hearing a familiar call, Chunsheng slowly supported himself and sat up a little stiffly. Meng Jingluan smiled, "You are lying here silently, but you scared me to death, Chunsheng, don't you want your blood Lingzhi?" ”

The lonely old forest was silent and uninhabited, and Meng Jingluan, the early teacher, was stunned, but now he got the blood Ganoderma lucidum, and the second saw Chunsheng, how could he not like it? However, the joy of stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to find disappeared when he saw Chunsheng's face.

The young man's pale face was completely faded with blood, and his eyes were hollowly open, except for a little black in the center of his pupils, the rest of the place was vast and gray. What is especially strange is that his lips are abnormally purple, dark red and swollen. There were three deep blood marks on the neck, and the black blood had congealed.

He looked at Meng Jingluan with those strange white eyes, let out a low hissing sound in his throat, and then opened his bloody mouth and pounced on her!
