"Look overhead, overhead"

The Wheel King suddenly patted me on the shoulder, and kept raising his middle finger to finger at the Tianchi water that had turned into "jelly".

I thought this guy had learned something from the world about despising people, but when his expression turned solemn, I realized that something was wrong.

I followed his gaze and saw that above our heads, the dazzling sunlight shone through the water of Tianchi, and the snow above our heads was no longer the snowy ice.

"Up?" I gestured to the Wheel King.

The Wheel King nodded, then swam to Haldan's side, picked him up, and swung his arms upward.

The bitter cold melted away, and I could feel the change in the water that day, which seemed to be completely different from when we came down, and if I had to draw a conclusion, it was that the water was drained and replaced with fresher water.

But this place isn't a swimming pool, so you don't have those things at all, right?

So far, I had to go out to see first, I didn't see the sun on the road at all, and the snow was covered with dark clouds overhead, so I had to find a reason, then we returned to the tourist attractions of Changbai Mountain, which is the so-called tourist gathering point.

The jelly-like water of the pond was very easy to swim in, and we reached the surface of the water in a short time and poked our heads out to take a look.

Sure enough, there was no ice, and there were no snow-covered hills around it.

We pulled each other out of the water, and when we looked back, it was just a small lake half the size of Tianchi.

When Hardan came out, he calmed down, and both the Wheel King and I focused our eyes on him, and he looked at us, then looked around again, and came to a conclusion.

"We've reached our destination," said Hardan with great certainty.

"No man's village?" I was stunned for a moment, and looked ahead, where there was a stone tablet erected, on which was clearly printed "No Man's Village", and behind it were some dilapidated tiled houses.

"Go see?" Hardan spoke up and asked us.

Seeing that he didn't want to leave, I guessed something, nodded slightly, agreed, and walked towards the entrance of the village.

The uninhabited village is naturally as its name suggests, it is a village without people, since it is a village without people, then who built these dilapidated tiled houses?

I counted them by looking at them, and there were more than 20 tiled houses, which means that there were at least 20 families living in this place.

According to the information provided, it is possible that this is the only remaining gathering place of the shamans, but later it is unknown what happened, and everyone moved out of the area.

I put aside my curiosity about this place for a while, and asked Hardan, "Where is the entrance to Changbai Mountain?" ”

Hardan smiled and walked in front of us alone, saying as he walked: "I'm very lucky that you can enter this place, including myself, I don't have any confidence in triggering the seal of Tianchi, it seems that the two of you are really not ordinary people."

"What do you mean?" I looked at Haldan, who seemed to be a different person, and asked with a frown.

"I think," said Hardan, shaking his head and not looking back, "I don't need to explain, you guessed something."

"Oh?" I smiled and didn't answer directly.

"I'll take you to Changbai Mountain, but I need you to do something," said Haldan, who stopped at the door of a rotten tiled house, looked up at the eaves.

"What's the matter?" I walked up to him and asked.

Haldan smacked his lips and, instead of rushing to answer my question, raised his hand to open the two wooden doors and led us inside.

Once inside, I was amazed by what I was looking inside.

In the center of the room, a coffin lay flat, the lid of which was long gone, revealing the man lying inside.

The man's eyes were wide open, his mouth was open, and there were some black maggots crawling inside, and the smell of rotting came from his body.

Obviously, the person in this coffin is already dead and can't die anymore, but this guy doesn't even blink an eye until he dies?

In my memory, ordinary people who are blind to death cannot enter the underworld through the shadows, and nine times out of ten they will go to the place where they are most nostalgic in their lives, and become the so-called lonely ghosts.

Of course, if this kind of wild ghost absorbs the resentment of heaven and earth, and when it turns into a zombie or resentment, Yin Cha will contact the Taoist priest in the world, or Mr. Yin and Yang will go out to arrest him.

And this coffin lying in an uninhabited village, judging from Haldan's behavior, is inextricably linked to him nine times out of ten.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person in this coffin is your dead eldest brother," I said, giving him a faint look.

"Smart man," Haldan smiled, then said to me, "Go on"

"This is not an uninhabited village at all," I turned around, looked in the direction I looked in, and said, "In other words, the so-called uninhabited village does not exist at all, and the stone monument that marked the name of the village has long been scraped off by you, so you changed its name to an uninhabited village."

Haldan nodded.

"The most important thing," I touched my chin, walked over to the coffin, looked at the rotting corpse inside, and said, "If I'm right, you...... He was the only one in the village who survived."

"Survived?" He smiled wryly and looked at me and shook his head, "You're wrong, I'm not the one who survived"

I was stunned, indicating that I didn't understand what he meant.

"The soul is out of the body, and the life is gone, I'm afraid you used the shaman's witchcraft to make yourself live in the world," the Wheel King suddenly interjected.

Only then did I react, and the strange feeling that Hardan gave me, including why he was wearing a thick military coat outside Changbai Mountain on a hot day, mostly to cover up the dead air that ordinary people could not see.

I was a preconceived person and didn't doubt him, so I naturally believed him.

But then I thought about it carefully, since he had such a thing as Tianchi water, why was he afraid of the cold in the deep mountains, including why he took off his clothes when he climbed the mountain.

"I had no choice but to do this," Haldan sighed, "and the consequences of that accident were too serious."

"If you have anything, as long as you promise to take us to Changbai Mountain, we will do our best to help you," I said calmly.

"Three days before you came to me, a guy in fancy dress came to me and told me that one of you was the Hades of the underworld, and that he could control the life and death of mortals" Haldan took a deep breath and said something that made both me and the Wheel King turn black.

Looks like we're being led by the nose again.
