"I'm here with Houzai, what are you afraid of?" I hooked Liu Shangang's shoulders and pulled him towards the mire.

Before, Liu Shangang said that you can see the mud swamp after walking about three kilometers along the road, but because the path is overgrown with weeds, it is difficult to identify the direction, and it took us about half an hour to complete the 3,000-meter distance.

After crossing the weedy patch that spread on the path, we did see a swamp in front of us.

The marshland is not large, covering a radius of 100 meters, and on the left side of the marsh, there is a dry river channel.

According to common sense, after the river dries up, it will soon be covered with weeds, but the river in front of me has dried up to the point that only loess remains, but not a single grass or tree grows in it.

Liu Shangang pointed to a few mountains in the distance and said, "That place is the reeds, not far from here." ”

I nodded, squatted down, and used the method of carrying corpses, and the finger lightly touched the quagmire in front of me, I don't know if it was because I didn't have enough skills, when my fingers were inserted into the mire, I didn't feel any strange breath, it seemed to be an ordinary quagmire.

Liang Houzai gave me tissues to wipe my hands, and then we crossed the river and picked up a path to the southwest to continue walking.

The second half of the dirt road we had walked on was almost completely covered with weeds, but the road in front of us was a little abnormally smooth, the road was flat and free of weeds, and there were neat bright red flowers planted on the side of the road.

I didn't know much about flowers and plants, and I didn't know what kind of flowers they were, but when I saw the blood-like red of the flowers, I felt that something was wrong.

On Huangquan Road, flowers bloom on the other side. These flowers are very similar to the legendary flowers of the other side. The dense trees on the side of the road cast a large area of shade on the path, making this path that is difficult to see at a glance have a little more gloomy temperament that seems to be only available on Huangquan Road.

At this time, Liang Houzai on the side said to me: "This road seems to be guarded by someone at ordinary times. ”

Indeed, if it weren't for someone to take care of it, it would be impossible for such a dirt road to be without a single tuft of weeds, but what kind of person would make a good road look like Huangquan Road?

I asked Liang Houzai, "What kind of flowers are these flowers on the side of the road?" ”

Liang Houzai thought for a while and said, "Looking at the appearance, it should be the other side of the flower, but the other side flower only blooms in autumn." ”

Liu Shangang interjected in surprise: "Damn, the flower on the other side, isn't it something that grows on Huangquan Road?" ”

Liang Houzai smiled: "That's all myths and legends, there are such things as flowers on the other side in reality, and in Sanskrit, it is also called Manzhu Shahua, a perennial herb, you should read more books if you have time." ”

Actually, I'm not embarrassed to say it, I don't know that the other side flower also exists in reality, I'm afraid that Liang Houzai will laugh at me.

After that, we walked along the path again, and after half an hour, a fork in the road appeared in front of us, and there was a sign with serious signs of decay on the side of the road, and it took us great difficulty to make out the handwriting on the wooden sign: "Three hundred meters to the left, construction site".

I heard Liu Shangang say that there was a development in the early years of Reedang, so the fork on the left should lead to Reedang, and the right side should lead to Zhu Gang's village.

There is still an hour before Yan Xiaotian gets on the car, and it will probably take about an hour for him to finish the section of the road we walked before.

Seeing that I still had some time to spare, I decided to go to the reed swing to check the situation first.

Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai also had no opinion, so they walked with me on the left fork in the road.

This fork in the road should also be cared for, the road is also very smooth, and the road surface is also full of blood-red "other side flowers".

After walking a short distance, I saw an abandoned excavator lying in the grass not far away, which was supposed to have been abandoned here during the development of Reeddang in '97, the paint on it had fallen off in large patches, and the exposed body was covered with brown rust.

After discovering the excavator, we saw a row of small steel-framed bungalows on the side of the road, which should have been used as a residential area for construction workers in the early years, many of which had collapsed, and there were some discarded building materials scattered on the weedy ground outside the bungalows.

I have done a dirt road of more than three meters, which is a canyon between the two mountains, and it can be seen that the people who worked here in the early years had blown up the mountain, and the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon have been somewhat broken, and at the bottom of the canyon a proposed cement road has been built, the road surface has been cracked, and clusters of flowers and plants have grown in the cracks.

Although I don't know much about feng shui, I have also heard Senior Brother Feng say that "there must be wind in every valley, the wind in the deep valley is strong, and the wind in the shallow valley is weak".

After more than 100 meters of walking along the broken road in the canyon, we came to the end of the concrete road, and on the other side of the road, there were a dozen rusty and corroded iron frames, and after passing the iron frames, we walked forward and there was a large dry riverbed.

Liu Shangang came to the edge of the riverbed, looked around, and said to Liang Houzai: "This place is the reeds. ”

Although it is called Reeddang, there are no reeds in this place, the riverbed is already dry, and there is no grass on it, and in the dry river channel adjacent to the riverbed, there is a strong demonic aura.

This is also the first time I have really experienced the special Qi field of demonic energy, Master's "Examination of the Walking Dead" says that demonic energy is one of the chaotic qi, this kind of qi is different from yin qi and corpse qi, and people who have not cultivated their mental power will not have any unusual feeling even if they are surrounded by this kind of qi field.

The so-called confusion is to confuse the mind and mind, and when the practitioner perceives this kind of Qi field, he will clearly feel that the state of mind is disturbed, and if the demonic energy is too strong, there will be illusions, but this illusion is very easy to see through.

The demonic aura here is very strong, and I can really see visions, and in my vision, the ground ripples like the surface of the water, along with the surrounding peaks, and distorts with it.

Everything around me looked like a distorted mirror reflection in a haha mirror.

I immediately recited the three corpse tips in my mind, and when my mind calmed down, the scenery returned to normal, but above the dry river, a layer of mist appeared that seemed to appear.

According to the "Examination of the Walking Dead", this mist is the transformation of demonic energy, and this phenomenon can only appear near the source of demonic energy.

However, since I can perceive the demonic energy, it means that the demonic cultivation in this place is not high, like the big snake in the evil tomb, it has never let us perceive its demonic energy. I've heard Xian'er say that for monsters, the release of demonic qi is very damaging to Daoxing, and only those little demons who don't know how to restrain demonic qi will let the demonic qi leak out.

And the reason why the demonic aura here is strong shows that there is definitely more than one little demon entrenched here, and it is likely to be a huge race.

Liang Houzai could also sense the demonic energy wafting from the river, he looked at the river for a while, then turned his head and asked me, "Brother Dao, do you want to go down and have a look?" ”

I thought about it, and if I shook my head, I said, "Don't alarm the monsters here, go to the village, and find out about Zhu Gang." ”

In fact, with my personality, I definitely want to go down and have a look. However, thinking of Liu Shangang's previous statement that the reed swing might be a yellow skin, I had to think twice.

Yellow skin is an old name in some places, in fact, it refers to the weasel. This kind of thing is the same as a fox, it is born with spirituality, as long as there is a little opportunity, it is easy to cultivate into refinement, as long as there is a nest of yellow skins that has become essence, the rest will soon be able to attain the Tao. If I'm not mistaken, the source of this demonic energy in the river should come from a nest of yellow skins that have become essences.

And the yellowskins are very vindictive, if I disturb them today, they will definitely be with me endlessly, and the only way for me to get rid of them is to kill the whole litter of yellowskins, and not one of them will be left.

God has the virtue of a good life, and I don't want to kill for no reason, so if the yellow skin here has nothing to do with Zhu Gang's matter, it's better not to provoke them.

Liang Houzai probably had the same idea as me, and he glanced into the river again before nodding to me.

Liu Shangang couldn't sense the demonic energy, so he kept squatting next to him and smoking, and only when he saw that Liang Houzai and I were leaving, he stood up.

I came up to him and held out a hand to him: "Give me one." ”

Liu Shangang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "When did you learn to smoke?" ”

I said, "It's been the first two years, and I usually don't dare to smoke it in front of the master. ”

"I understand, I understand." Liu Shangang squeezed his eyebrows and looked at me as he pulled out a cigarette case and a lighter.

"That's what you brought with you?" I asked him.

Liu Shangang nodded: "I'm in a hurry, I didn't bring much, it's okay, save some smoking, if you don't have a big addiction to smoking, these few days are enough for the two of us to smoke." ”

As he spoke, I snatched his cigarette case and lighter, waved it and threw it into the river.

Liu Shangang was taken aback by my sudden move, and exclaimed, "What are you doing!" ”

As I said that, he ran towards the river, and I immediately pulled him back, clamped his shoulders to prevent him from moving, and said to him: "Quit it, if you smoke again, your lungs will be broken, how can you practice Qigong?" ”

Only then did Liu Shangang realize that I was enticing him to hand over the cigarette just now, and the expression on his face changed instantly, and I saw that the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and I knew that his mania was about to happen again.

But before Liu Shangang could attack, a yellow shadow suddenly emerged from the corner of the river, rolling up the smoke and fires scattered in the river and ran away. The shadow was fast, and it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

However, judging from the size and color of that shadow, it should be a yellow skin.

It was because of the appearance of this yellow shadow that Liu Shangang was diverted, and his anger disappeared before he could rise up, he looked at the river and was stunned for a long time before he asked me: "What was that just now?" ”

I replied to him briefly: "Yellow skin." He beckoned Liang Houzai to walk outside the reeds.

Liu Shangang caught up with us in three steps and two steps, and asked: "This place is really troublesome, is the news in the tabloids true?" ”

Liang Houzai nodded: "It seems to be." ”
