Hua Rufeng glanced into the barren grass over there, and behind the barren grass pile turned out to be a tombstone, under the tombstone there was a big black hole, and puffs of fishy black smoke went straight up, as if the hole was on fire.

He frowned, thinking of the strange encounter between the two of them last night, and suddenly it occurred to him that this bare grave was not the same stove they had seen last night. Didn't the two of them get hooked into the old ghost in the grave last night?

"I'm ...... It's wicked! Walk! Rufeng put on his clothes, took Ruan Xingqi's little hand, and chased after the old man who was chopping wood just now.

The old man had long since gone away, but he had left a hidden path where he had passed, and it seemed that the woods were often frequented.

After walking along this rugged path halfway up the mountain for about an hour, I finally saw people in front of me. It was a small village, and the village was not large, that is, there were more than 20 families. This small village is surrounded by a clear stream, there is a single-plank bridge at the entrance of the village, after crossing the bridge, there is a bamboo wall and bamboo fence in front, and several old men and women of eighty or ninety years old are sitting in front of the bamboo fence at the entrance of the village to bask in the sun.

When the old people looked back, outsiders broke in, and they immediately cast curious glances, and their surprised expressions were as if they were visiting a zoo to see monkeys in cages.

The two of them stood on the single-plank bridge and looked this way, but they didn't dare to take half a step forward. The strange scene from last night is still vivid! Isn't this the ghost village from last night?

"Like the wind, or ...... Or let's go! I'm afraid! ”

"It's daytime, there shouldn't be any ghosts and ghosts, and you see, the village is full of smoke, and every household is already cooking, so we have to eat before we go?" Rufeng comforted her and said.

He was also wondering in his heart, why the ghost village he saw last night was exactly the same as the small village in front of him, and what did the weird old lady have to do with this village? Could it be that the two of them really came to this village last night? This village is used by ghosts at night and by the living by day? It's really not a waste of resources!

He comforted Ruan Xingqi a few words, and walked slowly along the single-plank bridge.

After careful questioning, I learned that this small village was named Stargazing Village, which was built in the early years of the Qing Dynasty.

When the Qing army entered the customs, Yangzhou slaughtered three times in Jiading on the 10th, and the people in Jiangnan almost heard the "Qing" color change. Some of the local gentry in Gusu moved their families to the deep mountains and old forests. This is where the stargazing village came from. The scenery in the village is almost exactly the same as what I saw last night, except that all the people living in the village are alive, and the villagers have chickens, ducks, cats and dogs at home, which is very lively. This is almost the same as the old man Ruan's previous description, it seems that this is the small village he came to for more than half a century.

Yesterday they walked too slowly, in fact, they hadn't reached the village yet, and halfway through the way, they fell into the old goblin's trick and were dragged into the illusion.

The villagers are not young, and they have almost never left this desolate ancient village in the mountains for almost their lives. Ignorant of the outside world. They were very simple and hospitable, and they quickly brought out the food at home for the two of them to enjoy.

Rufeng told them what the two of them had seen and heard last night, and there was also a village chief in this village, and the village chief was a respected old man, and the village chief nodded slowly while listening.

He told the two that more than 20 years ago, such an old lady had indeed died in the village, and the old lady had died by mistake, and he had no children and no daughters in his life, and according to the rules of their mountains, he could not be buried in the ancestral grave, so he had to find a place for her outside the mountain. This old lady was not an ordinary person when she was alive, and her status in the village was like ...... In the past, in the Manchu villages in the northeast, almost every village had a shaman, and she was such a character.

Maybe her resentment has not dissipated after her death, and she has been wandering in the mountains and forests looking for a stand-in.

The old village chief also said that in order to prevent her soul from harming people, a large iron pot was specially left in her grave before the burial, and according to their locals, as long as a pot of white goose meat was stewed in this iron pot for her, she could reach Bliss early.

"Huh...... You've left this pot well! Almost stewed us both! Rufeng shrugged his shoulders awkwardly.

Hearing this, Hua Rufeng couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, and it was not possible to find the whereabouts of the flower girl in this mountain. If you want to enter the legendary Wusun Valley, you must pass through here, and they almost didn't let the old lady take her soul away, let alone ordinary people. But I finally found here, and I turned around and left without asking, but my efforts were wasted.

"Old village chief, dare to ask if there are people living in our mountains and forests other than Stargazing Village?"

"Somewhere else? There shouldn't be, and then go over two mountain beams and step on a small river, but it will be a mountain stream. The old village chief frowned and said.

"Uh...... We've been in this mountain forest for some years, right? There are usually ancient temple ruins left in the mountains, right? Ruan Xingqi asked him again.

The old village chief said that there are many old temples nearby, but there has been no incense for so many years, and the monks and sisters inside have already run away, and if you want to see it, you can really only see the ruins. "What? Are you here to find the temple? ”

"To be precise, it is a sister-in-law temple, we heard the old people often say on the side of Taihu Lake, there is a sister-in-law temple behind Gusu Mountain, which is said to be for ...... What kind of Heavenly Child Saint is offered? "Rufeng lied.

"Heavenly Child Saint Monarch? I haven't heard of it, but there is indeed a sister-in-law temple in the back mountain, and I don't know what kind of statue is enshrined in the temple, I have been panicking for seventy or eighty years, you want to see it, I will take you there in a while. The old village chief said enthusiastically.

The food in the mountains is simple, and there is almost no meat to speak of. At about ten o'clock in the morning, the old village chief took two villagers in their sixties and led the two of them to the back mountain with a sickle in their hands.

The mountains are overgrown with weeds, and he says no one has been here for years. He came to Houshan once when he was young, but he was still young and ignorant at the time. A few friends went home and were scolded by their parents, and the old people said that there were goblins in the temple of this sister, and the children were not allowed to approach. may have been scolded, the child's psychology has a shadow, since he grew up to become the village chief, his father's instructions when he was a child have become a taboo in the old village. This mountain forest is also deserted, and no one has gone to this area anymore.

Don't look at the two old men are in their sixties, but the mountain people do rough work all day long, and their bodies are like oxen, and as they walk, they wield their sickles to clear the way for them. If someone hadn't opened the way, it is estimated that the two of them would not have been able to find the whereabouts of this sister-in-law nunnery until next year. The trail is full of thorns, and if you're not careful, the leaves of those plants can cut blood on your thighs.
