When I heard this, I felt very uncomfortable, but I couldn't refute it.

The old master continued, "So you'd better not go looking for the Maskless Mask, or you'll fall into Zhongroku's trap. ”

Hearing him mention the sixth master again, I came back to my senses a little and said, "You know the name of the sixth master, did you know each other before?" ”

"Nature's Knowledge." The old master touched his beard, quite proud, and said, "I think I used to be a very powerful task back then. ”

"How powerful?" I asked.

He glared at me, "Now I'm trying to persuade you, it's better for you to come and inquire with me." ”

I smiled bitterly and said: "Xiangshi, I really can't refuse, I need the seven phases, and I need the protection of the sixth master, and besides, the sixth master asked me to find the faceless face with his purpose, but I also have my own intentions, who will suffer after finding it, this is not clear." ”

He looked at me with a complicated face, and sighed for a while, "That's it, since you have decided, I will not persuade you anymore." ”

With that, he vanished.

I sat down on the stool with a heavy heart, and finally decided that it would be better to go find the Maskless Mask, whether it was good or bad, and to get moving.

Packed up his things before going to bed, and at six o'clock in the morning, Huang Shanjun came to knock on the door and said that he was going to go.

I hurriedly followed him into the car.

"There are some changes in things, originally the sixth master ordered me to take you directly to the beach, but this morning someone suddenly said that the boat coffin was found more than twenty miles away from the Qiyan River, and the sixth master temporarily changed his mind and asked me to take you to the boat coffin first." He said.

I nodded, the itinerary was all arranged by the sixth master, and I really didn't have the right to say anything.

This time I went to the coffin place, just like the last time Uncle Niu took me over, first by plane to Yunnan, and then on foot into the Hengduan Mountains.

I walked with Huang Shanjun for three days and didn't get to the place, which made me a little flustered.

"Brother Huang, we're not wrong, right? I remember the last time I came with Uncle Niu, I walked for three days. I said worriedly.

He took the map and looked at it carefully, and said, "The route is not wrong, I have been following the map, and it stands to reason that we should have arrived yesterday afternoon." ”

As he spoke, he looked at me, "Did you encounter a ghost hitting the wall or something?" ”

I shook my head and said in the affirmative, "Absolutely not." ”

If it had been before, I would have been so suspicious, but now that I have sealed my soul, not to mention Su Yueze's ghostly aura on my body, and the old phase master, if something is wrong, I will definitely know.

After thinking about it, I looked at Huang Shanjun and said seriously: "Brother Huang, if we have been following the map and have not made a mistake, we should have arrived yesterday afternoon but did not arrive, then there is only one reason, your map is wrong." ”

He stiffened, and looked at the map in his hand in surprise, "No, this ......"

"It was handed over to you by the sixth master himself?" I asked.

He shook his head.

"As long as it's not given to you by the sixth master himself, then there may be a mistake, judging from the marks on the map, how far do we have to go?" And I asked again,

He replied, "We have to walk for a day, and we will arrive tomorrow night, but the Taoist priest who found the new coffin said that it would only take a day and a half to arrive." ”

"Follow the map." I said, "The person who stole the map may be trying to lure us somewhere, and if they wanted to kill us both, they would have done it a long time ago." ”

He thought for a while and said, "It can only be like this, and maybe it wasn't someone who deliberately changed it, but the Taoist priest who drew the map drew the route so cumbersomely, which caused us to go far away." ”

I hope so.

Huang Shanjun and I took turns keeping vigil, he slept in the first half of the night, and I slept in the second half of the night, and at about three o'clock in the morning, when I was sleepy, I suddenly heard a sound behind the tree on the right.

My heart sank, and I turned my head to see Huang Shanjun, who was usually very alert, but this time he didn't wake up after a few screams.

I really couldn't wake him up, so I had to walk carefully behind the tree, and when I looked around, there was a stone plaque hanging on the tree, and I looked left and right for a long time, but there was no one.

I hurriedly took down the stone tablet, which read: Keep going until the end.

I couldn't help frowning, the content on the stone plaque in the past was to persuade me not to do what the sixth master explained, why did I continue to move forward this time?

Could it be that the map was made by the people who gave me the stone tablet?

I was even more bottomless in my heart, seeing that Huang Shanjun still hadn't woken up, I secretly put the stone tablet in my bag.

At about six o'clock in the morning, Huang Shanjun suddenly woke up, I was in a daze, I was frightened by him, and I was a lot more sober.

He first looked left and right vigilantly for a long time, and then rubbed his eyebrows and asked me, "Was it okay last night?" ”

I shook my head, "What's wrong?" ”

"I slept too hard yesterday and it didn't feel right, I don't usually sleep so dead," he said. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he knew that someone had given me a stone tablet yesterday.

"I should be tired these days, and my spirit is also very bad at night." I say.

He wrinkled his eyebrows and thought about it for a long time, but finally didn't say anything.

We followed the map and continued on until it was dark to reach the marked end of the map, a deserted stockade.

Huang Shanjun said: "I heard that there were many people living in this mountain, but later they all moved to places where the transportation is more convenient. ”

But I don't think that's the case, someone specifically asked me to come over, and this is definitely not a simple village.

"Go in and have a look." I walked up the steep stone staircase, and the more I went inside, the more I felt that something was wrong.

"Brother Huang, it should be the indigenous people living here in the mountains, although the style of the house is exactly the same as here, but the door frame is still pasted with couplets, which are traditional characters." I say.

Huang Shanjun took out a dagger from his pocket and said, "Indeed." ”

When we walked to the middle of the village, Huang Shanjun suddenly pulled me aside, "Be careful. ”

At the same time, there was a whoosh, and an arrow stuck in the place where I had just stood.

Huang Shanjun let go of me, stretched out his hand and quickly jumped into the house to the southwest, and a few seconds later there was the sound of a fight in the room.

I hurriedly walked over, and as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Huang Shanjun pulling a child out, the child was thin, sallow, obviously stunted, and couldn't say anything, and shouted at us to get out.

Huang Shanjun took out a rope from his bag and tied the child directly to the tree.

I asked the child, "Is there anyone else in the stockade?" ”

He turned his head and didn't speak, but his eyes kept glancing at the dagger Huang Shanjun was holding.

Huang Shanjun deliberately raised the dagger and said, "If you tell the truth, I will not only let you go, but also give you the dagger." ”

The child hesitated for a long time, but finally did not resist the temptation of the dagger, and said, "No, myself." ”

He was the only one in the stockade.

However, since this child can understand us, I am more certain that the people who lived here before are definitely not natives, and it is very likely that they came in from outside.

"Why is the stockade empty?" I asked.
