Liang Houzai had been frowning as he walked out of the second room, and as we entered more and more stone houses, his brows tightened.

When I came to the village road again, I couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and asked him, "What's the matter, I've been frowning since half an hour ago." ”

Liang Houzai looked around for a while, and said suspiciously: "Brother Dao, something is wrong with this place. ”

I also don't think it's normal here, but the evil god's Qi field is almost gone, so even if it's not normal, what can I do?

Then Liang Houzai said to me, "Why is it that every room is furnished the same?" Did the people who lived here never use those stone tools? If they did, they wouldn't have been able to put them in exactly the same place. Brother Dao, do you remember the situation in the illusion, I remember that when the Han man killed the Black King, there should have been some scattered things at the entrance of the village. ”

I nodded, "Well, there is, I see it too." ”

Liang Houzai continued: "When I saw those scattered things, I thought that the people here left in a hurry not long before the Black King was killed, and something must have happened in this place at that time, they fled in a hurry, and there was no time to pick up the things that were spilled on the ground. ”

What he said was exactly what I thought in my heart.

"But since they fled in such a hurry," said Liang Houzai, as he pondered, "then they should not have the energy to fiddle with the stone tools of the house before leaving, I mean, they are in such a hurry that when they go out, they will inevitably rub against something, especially those placed close to the edge of the door." ”

Indeed, there were some stone-beaten bottles and jars next to every house, and because they were so close to the door, I rubbed two of them down when I went out.

But before we entered the house, the bottles and cans were standing there steadily.

Could it be that this village was laid out like this when it was built, and no one has lived here since it was built, but if no one lives in it, why build such a village, and what about the things scattered at the entrance of the village in the illusion?

Liang Houzai also crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.

Then I remembered the last black shadows in the vision, which seemed to be creatures similar to human beings, who had lived in this place for many years, and finally all of them had fallen into the pit dug by the old man.

Have they lived in this place for so long and have not touched the contents of the house, or is it that they have arranged the stone tools in the house as they are now?

I don't have a clue when I think about it, but the more I think about it, the more confused my mind becomes.

After a long time, Liang Houzai spoke: "What are those black shadows? ”

He was talking to himself, but Liu Shangang gave the answer: "It should be a dwarf mule." ”

Liang Houzai and I looked at Liu Shangang at the same time: "Do you see clearly? ”

Liu Shangang scratched his head and said, "I can't see it very clearly, but I see that the thing has a big head, a body similar to a person, and black hair on its body." ”

Liang Houzai's eyes widened: "The time in the illusion flows so fast, how can you see it so clearly." ”

Liu Shangang said: "In the original location of Dazhai, there is a dwarf mule that has been standing there, and it has been looking towards the village, and it is ...... I guess it's going to be a few years. At that time, I was still thinking that these dwarf mules were really good, and they would not starve to death without eating for several years. But he's standing too far away from here, you probably won't see it. ”

Liang Houzai immediately asked Liu Shangang: "Where did the dwarf mule over there in Dazhai go in the end?" ”

Liu Shangang thought for a moment and said, "He seems to have entered the village later, and after that, all the black shadows have gone into that pit. By the way, when the dwarf mule appeared, it was always holding one thing in his hand, which was the 'head' of the mountain demon, the root of the tree that the Black King led the army to cut back. ”

Liang Houzai was silent for a long time before he said to me, "Brother Dao, I think there may be something else in that pit besides the Black King and Fire Coal. ”

From where I was standing, when I looked up, I could see the hole that the old man had dug out back then, after so many years, the apprentices in the village had turned into scattered sand, and all the houses had sunken to varying degrees, but the hole was just as it had just been dug out, and there was no sign of shrinking.

I think many people have tried digging holes in the sand, and because the sand is not easy to shape, it won't be long before the holes disappear on their own.

All indications are that the situation in the village is much more complicated than we see.

At this time, Liang Houzai said again: "The reason why there are evil gods here is that there are several key elements, mountain demons, black kings, resentment, Han people, black dogs, and exquisite guts. The black king is dead, the resentment is also dissipating, the black dog is melting into water, and the Han people are leaving with Linglong guts, but what about the mountain demon? Where did it go? ”

I stared at Liang Houzai and didn't speak.

No one can explain where the mountain demon went, except for the roots brought back by the Black King, we haven't even seen the mountain demon, and what happened when the Black King led his troops to sweep the mountain demon, which made him quickly fall into madness, and no one can say clearly.

Liang Houzai said: "I'm afraid that there is a lot of article on that mountain demon." Brother Dao, do you want to go to the pit and have a look? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the pit next to the rock.

If Lao Yang hadn't followed, I might have decided to go down immediately, but Lao Yang is here, and the three of us may not be able to protect him thoroughly, after pondering for a while, I said to Liang Houzai: "Wait for the second master and them to come back." ”

Liang Houzai glanced at Lao Yang and nodded.

Since last night, the evil god's Qi field has almost dispersed, but until the morning sun rises, this Qi field has still not dispersed, in the air, it is still mixed with resentment and anger, and the yin energy has basically disappeared.

But we all know in our hearts that resentment and violence are the essential characteristics of the evil gods.

When it was dark, I glanced at my watch, and the hands were still moving. Liang Houzai said that there is no time in the realm of evil gods, which means that this valley is still the realm of evil gods, and the evil gods have not dissipated.

Du Kang came back when the sun was eight or nine o'clock, and he kept frowning as he walked towards us, as if he had a heavy concern.

I beckoned to Du Kang: "Mr. Du." ”

He looked up at me, nodded his head, and then said to me from afar, "The ghosts on the other side of the cliff are still gathered there, they are attracted by the evil gods, and the evil gods will not go away until they die." ”

As he spoke, he had already arrived in front of me, but he hadn't stopped: "The evil spirit has dispersed, but the evil god is not dead." ”

I said to him, "The evil spirits have not completely dissipated. ”

Du Kang: "So how do you get it now?" ”

I shook my head: "Let's talk about it when the second master comes back, I plan to go to the pit to have a look." ”

Du Kang glanced over the pothole, nodded, and said nothing.

After that, we waited silently in the village for the second master, although it was better to get together at noon, but everyone had already arrived, but the second master did not show up.

When it was almost noon, Lao Yang seemed a little worried and asked me if I should go out to find the second master. I said no, after noon, if the second master doesn't come back, we'll look for it again.

When the sun reached the highest point in the sky, the second master finally appeared at the entrance of the village.

When he saw us from afar, he greeted us with a smile, but I couldn't laugh at all when I saw him, his clothes were all torn, his backpack was missing, and there was a long cut in his arm.

The second master was actually injured!

The wound on his arm was still bleeding, but the second master didn't seem to care, he walked up to us with a smile and said to me, "Fortunately, you didn't let Lao Yang follow me, I met a large group of dwarf mules on the way, and I almost couldn't come back." If Lao Yang follows me, I really won't be able to spare my hands to protect him. ”

Hearing the words of the second master, Du Kang couldn't help frowning: "Can a dwarf mule hurt you like this?" ”

"It's not an ordinary dwarf mule," the smile on the second master's face was a little tighter: "They have a lot of corpse qi on their bodies, but they are still alive, their strength is much greater than that of ordinary dwarf mules, and their movements are more agile." ”

Du Kang asked the second master with a worried face: "What do you do with them?" ”

The second master said: "Originally, I didn't want to open the killing ring, but these dwarf mules are too powerful, and they can't be stopped without heavy hands." There's no way, I'll kill them all, anyway, the whole group is gone, and no other dwarf mules will come to me for revenge in the future. ”

After saying such a long string of words, the second master realized that the person who was talking to him was Du Kang, and immediately "snorted" and twisted his face to the side.

I don't know what kind of grudge the second master and Du Kang have, and saying a few words to Du Kang is like being so angry.

After that, the second master turned to me again, still showing a smiling face, and said, "I see that the evil god's Qi field is almost dispersed, let's withdraw." ”

I shook my head at the second master: "Second master, the evil god is still there." ”

The second master didn't seem to understand what I meant: "The evil god is still there?" What do you mean? Isn't the yin energy in this place almost dispersed? ”

I said, "The yin qi is dispersed, but the evil god's qi field has not been dispersed, and if you feel it carefully, you can still detect a qi field similar to resentment and anger." ”

The second master touched the beard on his chin: "Oh, that's the case, I don't feel so much fire." So what are you going to do now? ”

I raised my chin towards the hole, "I suspect there might be something in the hole, I'm going to go down and take a look." Second master, you are hurt...... No problem. ”

"What could be the problem?" The second master smiled: "This little injury will kill you." I'm afraid that pit can't fit my body. ”

While the second master was talking, Liu Shangang had already taken out bandages and disinfectant cotton and bandaged the wound of the second master.

I gave the compressed biscuits and water to the second master, and asked him to eat something to replenish his strength, and when I saw that the second master was indeed fine, I beckoned everyone to come to the vicinity of the pit.

At the beginning, the old man dug this pit very large, and the light from the outside could shine into it well.

The pit is inclined downward, to the bottom, and then to the horizontal.

The inclined part was dug out by the old man with a stone hoe, and the part that extends horizontally should be the passage dug out by the Black King when he broke the ground.

I crouched at the mouth of the pit and looked inside for a while, but I couldn't see anything but the red dirt.

Liu Shangang visually measured the width and height of the horizontal passage, and said to me: "It's too narrow, you and the second master can't get in." ”

I looked up at him and asked him, "Do you have a flashlight in your bag?" ”

Liu Shangang suddenly smiled: "What do I have in my bag?" ”

I laughed a little, too, "I mean, if you have a flashlight, just climb in and take a look." Anyway, with such a 'thick' passage, your body will definitely be able to move. ”
