At half past nine o'clock that night, the three of them finally rushed to the immortal village.

The people in the mountains had gone to bed early, not to mention the old people, so when they arrived, their vision was dark, and they couldn't see anything at all, if it weren't for the truck headlights shaking to the dilapidated walls of several earthen houses, Luo Zhen and Datou would not have realized that they had entered the village at all.

"This is an immortal village," the big head sighed, "it's a ghost village at all." ”

Tang Laosan parked the truck and said to the two behind him: "Get out of the car, you will live in my house tonight." ”

…

"Eat it while it's hot!"

The dim old house is filled with the smell of roasted corn. An old man with thinning hair and a gray beard sat on a musty wicker chair and smoked a dry cigarette. Luo Zhen and Datou squatted in front of the charcoal basin and ate corn. While roasting corn, Tang Laosan picked up the iron tongs and pinched a few more pieces of charcoal into the charcoal basin.

"Incense," said the big head, swallowing the corn, and slurred his words, "the things in the mountains are fragrant!" ”

Luo Zhen was eating with his head bored, obviously preoccupied. Just now, after Tang Laosan told his father Tang Breaking the whole thing as it was, the lame old man smoked a dry cigarette without saying a word, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"What should I do now, do I still want to call Tian Xiaogang back?" Luo Zhen threw the finished corn cob into the charcoal basin, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and said to Tang.

"Of course you can't go back, you're stupid!" The big head rolled his eyes, "He knew you were here when you called back, what if you crawled here from the bone pool?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Tang Xiaozi coughed twice. The three of them hurriedly looked at him, only to see the old man slowly raise his foot, knock the dry tobacco stick on the sole of his shoe, and shake off a little soot.

"Dad, you said just now, I didn't see that man come back again. You have to take it seriously! Tang Laosan couldn't hold back and persuaded, "I think hurry up and gather Uncle Zhang, Lao Wang, and them to discuss moving away!" ”

"A few babies are fooling around," Tang Breakzi suddenly spoke, "Moving before things are clear?" ”

"Dad!" Tang Laosan frowned bitterly, "You don't take it seriously if you have sucked one of the big living people dry, you have to wait for the thousand-year-old evil ghost to come to the door, and you are in a hurry when you burn your eyebrows?" ”

"Old man Tang, Master Tang is right, we have to prevent this matter and retreat early, don't hesitate, hurry up and follow your son to the county seat to enjoy Qingfu!" The big head burped and agreed.

"In this way, Zhenwazi, you call now," Tang Breakzi said to Luo Zhen, "just say that you have arrived in the village, and see what he says." ”

"Really fighting?" The big head stood up, his facial features tangled.

"Okay, I'll fight now." Luo Zhen had been struggling with whether to simply have a showdown with Tian Xiaogang, but now that Tang Zhenzi had said so, he immediately took out the phone.

His hands were shaking all the time when he dialed, and Tang Laosan and Datou were watching nervously next to him.

"Hello, the user you are calling is temporarily unreachable, please wait..."

While Luo Zhen cursed in his heart, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't get through, I don't know if it's because the signal is bad." Luo Zhen shook the phone and sighed.

"Three babies, you rest first, and tomorrow we will take a trip to the bone pool." Tang Breakzi stood up.

"Are you really going?" The big boss was dumbfounded.

"Dad, if you don't move, why are you still sending it to the door?" Tang Laosan was also anxious.

Tang Kuozi turned his head and glared at Tang Laosan: "It's not that your baby doesn't know about the place in Huagulin, the mud soup swallows people very well, and outsiders are prone to accidents." What if the call is made by the man, we have to confirm it? ”

"But the bone pool is so big, where are you looking for someone?" Donald Sandao.

Ignoring Tang Laosan, Tang Breaker went directly into the back room.

"Are you really going?" The big head pulled Tang Laosan, with a sad face.

"Let's go to sleep first, my phone is on, maybe Tian Xiaogang will call in the middle of the night." Luo Zhen sighed.

The three of them stopped talking and fell asleep one after another.

…

But throughout the night, the phone was unexpectedly quiet.

Tian Xiaogang did not call again.

In the tossing and turning, Luo Zhen spent a sleepless night, and before dawn, Tang Breakzi got up and asked the three of them to pack up and prepare to leave.

In addition to carrying black travel bags, several people also brought rope locks, shotguns, flashlights, and some dry food.

…

The cold wind in the winter morning is soaking the bones, and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk. Tang Breaking led the way in front of him, don't look at this old man's lameness, walking is no worse than ordinary people. Except for Tang Laosan, the remaining two followed a little reluctantly.

After walking for almost two hours, the woods gradually became denser, and after a while, several people saw the edge of the Flower Valley Forest through the farmland.

"From here on, you have to follow closely, and you have to walk in my footsteps." Tang Breakzi advised, "If you don't fall into the mud soup, no one will be able to pull you up!" ”

Luo Zhen and Datou nodded hurriedly. Luo Zhen glanced at his mobile phone, the signal was very weak, and it was estimated that it would be gone after entering, and he didn't know if he could contact Ueda Xiaogang.

"Dad, where the hell are you going to find someone?" Tang Laosan handed the machete to Tang Breaker and asked.

While cleaning up the shrubs and weeds, Tang Breakzi replied, "Go to the Soul Suppression Palace." Nawa said that she was a literary explorer, very interested in folklore in various places, and walked around and searched for anecdotes and monuments over the years. I don't know where I heard about the high monk sealing the evil way, I originally wanted to call me to lead the way, but I didn't want to go to that gloomy place, so I only brought it here. I thought he wouldn't be able to find him, but now it looks like something happened. ”

"I said Luo Zhen," the big head cautiously kept up with Tang Zhenzi's pace, and whispered to Luo Zhen, "This thing is a bit weird!" I have talked to this Tian Xiaogang many times, he is obviously a 9-to-5 office worker, and he is also addicted to the stock market. Are you sure you made the wrong call? ”

Luo Zhen just wanted to answer, but he heard Tang Breakzi speak, and he pointed to a clearing in the forest in front of him: "Do you see patches of smoke-colored moss over there?" As long as you see this kind of thing, you have to be careful, it is likely to be a big muddy soup, and you must not step on it. ”

Now the four of them have completely entered the dense forest. Although the sky is already bright, the trees cover the sky, and you can only hear the insects and birds chirping one after another, but the light around is extremely dim. Luo Zhen and Datou couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest at all, so they could only follow Tang Breakzi closely.

"Be careful!" Tang Laosan told in the back, "When you hold the tree, you must take care of it first, some trees have thorns on the surface, and they will itch into your bones if they are pricked." And don't touch the rotten wood, poisonous snakes and scorpions like to hide in it. ”

A few people have been struggling to advance, stumbling all the way, and they have to pay attention to avoiding the forest swamp, which can only go forward for more than half a kilometer in an hour.

From time to time, Tang Breakzi paid attention to the various traces on the ground, feces, etc., and shouted from time to time, which was said to scare away the blind bear in advance and avoid meeting conflicts.

After about three hours of walking, the terrain suddenly changed a little, and the elevation began to rise, and it seemed that the climb was about to begin. At this moment, an abrupt burst of music sounded.

"The Emperor has a Diao people asking to see, and the Emperor has a Diao people asking to see, and the Emperor has a Diao people.."

Luo Zhen stopped abruptly and looked at his phone.

"Tian Xiaogang called!" The big head shouted, looking at the rest of the group in horror.
