I don't know how long it took, but the car stopped. Li boldly woke up the four of them. After treatment along the way, the White Crane Dance is much better, and there is no need to be carried by anyone. Bai Hewu got out of the car and found an unknown mountain village, listening to the accent of the locals, he knew that this had at least gone out of Shanhaiguan to the black soil in the northeast. After Li Daring introduced the four of them, they knew that this was already the foot of Changbai Mountain.

After getting out of the car and walking for a short time, everyone came to a section of the river embankment where the river was dry, although it was a river, the river was overgrown with weeds, and there were scattered people in the grass and a few lonely graves, which had obviously been dry for many years. There is also a small stone two-story building on the embankment near the river, which seems to be the destination. The courtyard in front of the house was very empty, the house was very clean, but there was a faint musty smell, and it was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time. The four of them arranged accommodation with the help of their entourage. After everything was in order, one person said: "Li Jiankui went out to do some errands, and he will come back in a while." You have to rest here for a while, and we won't accompany you if we have to rush back. Only then did they find out that Li Daring did not follow up.

As soon as the entourage left, the four of them sat down to discuss the next step. The first to speak was Tang Tiezuier: "Yesterday, we already had a preliminary conclusion, that is, our destination this time is Changbai Mountain. Originally, I thought that this place was quite far away, we couldn't get to it for a while, and now we came to the foot of Changbai Mountain just one day apart, if I want to say that it is a blessing or a curse, it is a curse that can not be avoided, rather than working hard to fight against the guiding force, we are very likely to be treated by the other party, in my opinion, we might as well take the initiative to attack, just see what ghosts are in this Changbai Mountain, if you are lucky, you may be able to kill him by surprise. "Your strategic direction is right, but the area of Changbai Mountain is very large, and we don't know the specific location!" Professor Lan said. Bai Hewu was silent for a while and said, "This is easy to do, we just need to take a look at the newspaper, and the specific address should be written on it." Professor Lan got up and took the backpack, and the four of them didn't see the newspaper for a long time, it seems that it was lost during the fight yesterday. Professor Lan Jian said: "I don't have to worry about the date of the newspaper and the location of the newspaper office, I can go to the newspaper office to check the archives, and by the way, visit the author of the press release." Tang Tiezui and Fat Dahai also echoed: "It's better to go to the newspaper office!" Have none of you noticed that your money bags have been lost? "The four of them checked their belongings, and the money bag they used to buy fruit was indeed lost." Looks like we're just waiting for 'that thing' to come and rush us. Saying that, Tang Tiezui fell helplessly on the sofa.

It was getting dark, and the four of them were watching TV in the living room when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, "Who! The door is unlocked," Tang Tiezui shouted. After the knock on the door, there was no movement outside the door, and after a short time, there were two more knocks at the door, and there was no way for Fat Dahai to go to the door to check. Fat Dahai just opened the door of the house, and before he could check the courtyard door left and right, he was pushed open, and Li Daring came back with a paper bag. Fat Dahai hurriedly let him into the house.

Li Daring entered the living room, threw the paper bag on the coffee table, and said: "My brother was beaten, especially Brother Bai also pretended to be a dead person, I can't let you work in vain, the money belongs to you." After speaking, Li Daring walked to the sofa and fell asleep, unable to wake up. The White Crane Dance group had nothing to do, so they went to bed early.

The next day, the four of them got up near noon, and the first thing they did after washing up was naturally to eat, rice, flour, oil, salt, and the kitchen were all there, but the four of them were too lazy to cook and had to go out to eat. "Jiankui, Jiankui, do you want to go out and eat something!" Professor Lan shouted twice in a row, but no one answered, and there was no one to be seen. "Looks like he's out, let's not look for him." At Tang Tiezui'er's suggestion, the group went out.

Although the town is remote, the scenery here is not bad, there are often some sketching tours, and the economic situation is reasonable. The four of them found a restaurant and sat down, and the meal was served when it was not long. At this time, there were not many people in the store, so Tang Tiezui talked with the shopkeeper. "Shopkeeper, what's this place called?" "Three forks of the estuary." Tang Tiezui'er heard it and said with a northeast accent: "I didn't see you have a river here, why did you have such a name?" "Why is there no river? The direction you came from, there was a river, but it was just a long way off. "There is only one river, and there are no branches nearby, how can it be called the mouth of the Sancha River?" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You outsiders! I told you that you didn't believe it. Tang Tiezui wanted to say that there was another group of customers in the shop, but the shopkeeper bowed his hand and said sorry to greet the guests.

The four of them finished eating and went out. Fat Dahai proposed: "We are about to enter the mountain, and we must prepare outdoor tools." "Yes, we have to prepare first, and we have to hurry up and prepare, but I don't think the town can buy outdoor equipment, so let's find a taxi and go to the county seat to buy it." As soon as Professor Lan's voice fell, he was greeted by a person: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, you don't have to go so far to buy these things." The four of them looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a shaved head and a monk's robe, but they didn't know if it was a monk.

Professor Lan said, "I don't know what to call the master?" "The old man's name is a lonely monk, this meeting is fate, I wonder if the four donors are willing to go to our temple to rest for a while?" After hearing this, Professor Lan was puzzled, "The master invited, we shouldn't have excused ourselves, but we don't know when we have to leave, and ask the master to lead us to buy the necessary items first." "It's a place to find, you can see it after crossing this street and turn left for less than a hundred meters, but you can't buy anything when you go now." A few donors, let's come with me first. The four of them hurried home to find Li Daring, unwilling to go with him. The old monk saw it and said, "Since the four donors of Blue, White, Tang, and Liu have urgent matters, they will not be reluctant," and the monk turned around and left. The old monk said these four surnames in one sentence, so shocked that the four of them almost took off their chins and hurriedly followed.

The lonely monk led a few people around a few streets and came to a dilapidated house at the edge of the village that didn't look like a temple at all. Looking up, there was a flat hanging on the door frame, and most of the handwriting on it had already fallen off, but following the remaining traces, it could still be recognized as the three words "Lonely Monk Temple". When everyone entered the courtyard, they saw that it was clearly a dwelling. When I entered the house again, there was only one table and one stool except for a fire kang. After sitting down, Professor Lan first opened his mouth: "I don't know how the lonely monk master knows my name?" "The old man has been entrusted to wait for you here. Naturally, I know the names of the four," Professor Lan was just about to speak, but was interrupted by the lonely monk, "Don't ask who that person is, he doesn't want to meet you, that's also fate." "Although I haven't seen anyone yet, Bai Hewu feels that things have made great progress, since the other party has entrusted someone, at least he is also a person, not the monster he expected before." After hearing this, Bai Hewu asked, "Your friend entrusted you to wait for us here, so what is he looking for us for?" "Don't talk about this yet, you want to ask the shopkeeper about the name of this town when you are eating, there is only a dry river next to the town but it is called Sancha Estuary, I guess the four of you want to know the reason for this!" "What is the reason?" The four of them asked together. "You must have heard about the fact that the river used to have water and then dried up, but no one will tell you that the water in the river was diverted by the man-made river that was dug up. No one will tell you that there is actually a tributary in the river. "There are tributaries? But the river doesn't branch, right? Tang Tiezui asked. There is no doubt that there is a tributary, but that tributary is usually invisible. The last time that tributary was seen was in '98 when there was a big flood. "You mean you have to go up to see the river?" Hakuzuru asked. After hearing this, the first thing that came to Hakuzuru Mai's mind was the terrain. For example, if a village is flooded, the original streets of the village will look more like rivers because of the water. "It's true, but that's only one of the reasons." The lonely monk paused for a moment and said, "That tributary is actually a river of Styx, which can only be seen when there is water in the river and it coincides with the lunar year, the moon and the sun, and that river leads directly to the Nai River in the Netherworld, in order to attract the souls drowned in the river. The four of them couldn't help but shudder after hearing this. Professor Lan diverted the topic and asked, "The master didn't invite us just to explain the legends of the village, did he?" "No, no, but I invite you to come and .........

As soon as the lonely monk said this, he heard a person outside the window shouting, "Bald donkey, did you take the things in my shop?" caused Lao Tzu to be scolded by his ancestors for eight generations. ”
