As soon as this thought appeared in my mind, I immediately said to He Lao Ghost: "I am Chai Zongyuan!" ”

He Lao Ghost's hand in the air suddenly froze, he stared at me with wide eyes for a while, and suddenly grabbed my shoulder again, shook it with what little strength he had left, and said with some unclear words: "He's still alive, he's still alive, he's back!" ”

He seemed to want to shout this sentence, but the scream just now had made his throat hoarse, and now he could only make a small sound with all his strength.

I asked him, "Who, who's back?" ”

He stared at me with wide eyes: "Luo Zhongxing!" ”

These three words originally came out of his own mouth, but when he heard the name, he seemed to be greatly stimulated, and began to go crazy again, and he writhed his body, trying to break free from my grasp, as if I were Luo Zhongxing.

Seeing that he couldn't calm down, out of helplessness, I could only reach out and grab the back of his neck and pinch it hard, and He Lao Ghost passed out on the spot.

He Hong was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and she kept asking beside me: "What's wrong with him, why did he become like this?" ”

I put He Lao Ghost on the ground and let out a long breath: "He was stimulated, and he was alone in such an environment for too long, and his mind was already out of order." Don't worry, Old Ghost He's soul is intact, as long as you take him out, he will return to normal within a month. ”

As I spoke, my gaze was already fixed on the deeper part of the tunnel.

He Hong said to me anxiously: "Then what are you waiting for, take the head out quickly!" ”

I shook my head: "I'll go inside and take a look, you and Renfeng stay and take care of Old Ghost He." He should not wake up for a while, and if he does before I return, try to soothe him and give him some water. ”

After speaking, I patted He Hong's shoulder, then avoided He Lao Ghost and continued to crawl forward.

When I just climbed a few steps, He Hong grabbed my arm, I looked back at her, and she looked at me too, and stopped talking. After a while, she finally let go of me, leaned over to Old Ghost He, and sat down against the stone wall.

I didn't delay any longer and kept going.

I heard Black and White Shuangding say that someone had left something in the ancient road, and Luo Zhongxing tried his best to let them enter Jiufeng Mountain, just to find that thing.

Although I don't know what people left here thousands of years ago, I know that that kind of thing should be very important to Luo Zhongxing. Now that I've come to the Ancient Path, it's necessary to find it.

After leaving He Lao Ghost, I crawled alone for a long time, the more I walked inside, the more turbid the air became, and I couldn't understand why the people in the village brought the funeral team here, could it be that thousands of years ago, the ancient road was not what it is now, maybe at that time, this ancient road was just a very narrow mountain road, and later the Jiufeng Mountain Gate people in order to protect the secrets on the ancient road, only to rebuild it to the current state.

I don't know how long I crawled, but I finally came to the end of the tunnel, and I saw a stone tablet with a metallic sheen at the end of the tunnel, and some words were engraved on it.

When I got closer, I found that the inscription was not an oracle bone inscription, but a man with a small seal, and although it had been eroded over time, I could still roughly distinguish the handwriting on it.

A few years ago, when I was sorting out the books in the cabinet, I developed a habit, that is, when I saw the ancient text, I would habitually look at the inscription and the year first, this stele did not mark the time, but at the bottom of the inscription, there was indeed a very clear inscription, the same is the text of four small seals: ten improper.

I can't remember exactly how the ancient text was written on the stele, but I remember the general meaning.

I had witnessed a play performed by the villagers and the funeral team in the village before, and it happened a thousand years ago, and the local mountain people did regard a very powerful fierce god as a mountain god, and often worshipped young women to let it suck yin qi.

At that time, Wudang had been trapped by the demons, and he rarely cast spells, because every time he cast a spell, the demons would absorb the mental power in his body and become stronger, generally speaking, the people who were responsible for suppressing the ghosts and eliminating the demons were a few disciples around him, but on that day thousands of years ago, even the most proud disciples were fragile in front of the fierce god, and they were repelled by the fierce god with only one face.

In order to protect his disciples and villagers, Wudang could only take action.

At that time, Wudang had been practicing for two thousand years, and the fierce god was not his opponent, and he scattered his soul in three times and two times, but at the moment when the fierce god dissipated, he wanted to die with Wudang, and it used up its last strength and turned into a yin wind and swept towards Wudang.

Wu Dang thought that he had cultivated a small golden body in the past two thousand years, and all evils would not invade, and he did not take this yin wind in his eyes. But what he never expected was that the yin qi still invaded his body, and although it was quickly dissolved by him with his mental power, this incident still surprised him.

The Yin Qi was soaked into his body from a piece of soft flesh about three inches below his ribs, and at that time he recalled that when he suppressed the Night Demon, the oil pot overturned, and the boiling oil was almost poured all over his body, only the soft meat under his left rib was not stained with oil at all.

Wudang realized that this piece of soft meat might be his weakness, and he was worried that one day his consciousness would be completely occupied by demons, so he wrote these words on the stone tablet. Later, in order to protect this stele, he opened a mountain here, and the existence of the stele has also become the secret of Jiufeng Mountain.

The stele said that at that time, the inner demon had already claimed to be Luo Zhongxing, and often occupied Wudang's body, using Luo Zhongxing's identity to move outside.

And once Luo Zhongxing's personality appears, Wudang's personality will sleep for at least a hundred years, he is worried that Luo Zhongxing will find the stone tablet, so he plans to transfer this part of the memory related to the stone tablet to He Laogui.

Judging from the content of the inscription, He Lao Ghost is the eldest disciple of Wudang who was admitted to the door thousands of years ago.

In order to keep He Lao Ghost alive, Wudang forcibly turned He Lao Ghost's cultivation into Yang Shou, so that the current He Lao Ghost is shallow.

Today's He Lao Ghost, cultivation can only be regarded as a third-rate in the industry, although he has a lifespan of thousands of years, but most of his life is asleep, he has the heart to revive the prestige of Jiufeng Mountain, but he can't practice like a normal person.

All of this is due to the gift of nothing.

I suddenly admired Old Ghost He, for more than a thousand years, he had been guarding this stone tablet, even if the entire Jiufeng Mountain was threatened, he could abandon the entire sect and hide himself in this dark and claustrophobic tunnel, under the conditions of urgent shortage of food and water, he was likely to die because of it.

In the past thousand years, he has been struggling to support the entire sect, deprived of Taoism, and perennial sleepiness makes him like a living dead, but he can still live up to his mission.

I think this may be what Master often says, "the heart is immortal."

After reading the words on the stele, my feelings became very complicated, as if I had suddenly figured out something, but it seemed that I hadn't figured out anything.

I couldn't help but sigh, and then put the flashlight on the ground, took out the sapper shovel, and smashed the surface of the stele little by little.

When all the inscriptions were smashed, I packed up my things and crawled towards the entrance of the cave.

When he returned to the middle of the tunnel, He Hong and Li Renfeng were feeding He Lao Ghost water, and now He Lao Ghost had woken up, after experiencing the madness just now, his current expression became very sluggish, when He Hong fed him water, his pair of dull eyes looked at him in a daze, and he didn't know how to swallow, and the water flowed down the corner of his mouth.

He Hong looked at He Laogui's appearance, looking anxious, and when he saw me come back, he asked me impatiently: "How did the head of the family become like this?" ”

I patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "As long as he recovers for a while, he will recover." ”

Li Renfeng asked me, "The tunnel is so narrow, how can we get him out?" ”

I rubbed my fingers against the ground, because the humidity was heavier, and the ground in the tunnel was very slippery, so I could drag He Lao Ghost out.

I turned to He Hong: "I can only drag him out." ”

He Hong looked at the old ghost He with a wooden face, and finally nodded.

I was worried that there was an ambush outside the tunnel, so I climbed to the front and let Li Renfeng and He Hong drag He Lao Ghost behind.

When I returned to the place where He Lao Ghost lived, I saw clearly that there were still several plastic bags on the ground, which contained some vacuum-filled food and empty water bottles, and one of the packets of food was opened, and the smell of musty had begun to emanate from it.

It seems that Old Ghost He went crazy at least half a month ago, and since then, he hasn't eaten seriously.

Back at the entrance of the cave, I poked my head out to take a look, and made sure that there was no one else in the stone room, so I went out of the cave and helped He Hong and Li Renfeng to carry He Lao Ghost out.

When He Lao Ghost saw Jin Peng's corpse, his eyes widened, but he didn't speak, he just looked at it with a shocked face.

I was afraid that he would go crazy again, so I didn't dare to stay longer, and immediately urged Li Renfeng and He Hong to leave the cave.

When I crawled out of the hole, I was still cautiously looking around, but luckily, the black and white pair didn't appear.

Li Renfeng came out after me, he looked at the fog under the top of the mountain, and asked me, "Uncle Shi, should we escort Old Ghost He out of Jiufeng Mountain first?" ”

I shook my head: "The people of the Nine Seal Mountain Gate on the other side of Face Mountain should have already taken refuge in the Burial Sect, once we leave the mountain, we will definitely be discovered." Don't talk nonsense, let's get He Hong and He Lao Ghost up first. ”

At this time, He Hong had already tied the steel rope to He Lao Ghost's waist, and she herself grabbed the steel cable, and Li Renfeng and I pulled the steel cable and pulled the two of them up.

After He Hong came to the ground, he also said the same thing as Li Renfeng: "The top priority is to send the head out of Jiufeng Mountain first." ”

I still shook my head: "I came from the side of Face Mountain yesterday, including the gatekeepers, all the people of the Nine Sealed Mountain Gate should have taken refuge in the Burial Sect." The people who led us to Jiufeng Mountain before were also people from your sect. ”

Hearing my words, He Hong suddenly frowned, she seemed to be deliberately suppressing the anger in her heart, but in her eyes, I still saw a trace of anger.

I picked up He Lao Ghost and walked down the mountain, and said to He Hong as I walked: "Now, the fog in the mountain is a good cover, let's take He Lao Ghost into the mountain first." ”

Li Renfeng caught up and asked, "But we can't stay in the mountains all the time, right?" ”

I said, "Of course not, now we have to find a way to join Liang Houzai and them, as long as Liu Shangang is here, we will definitely be able to get out." ”
