Chapter 125: Trees Grow Human Faces
The Maolan Karst primeval forest we went to this time is located in the south of Libo County, Guizhou.
Sitting in the car, I had to sigh secretly, this time I can bear it, we Shandong is not close to Guizhou, I took a look at Baidu last night when I was surfing the Internet in the hotel, more than 2,200 kilometers away.
However, I also learned a little about the Maolan Karst primeval forest on the Internet, where although the scenery is good, there are also a lot of treacherous waters, and even a variety of wild animals with attack blood, such as wolves, poisonous snakes, bison, bears, leopards, and even South China tigers.
But what I'm most worried about now is whether Bai Ruotong's small physique can adapt to that kind of dangerous place, and if she really wants to go down to the ancient tomb, she is no ordinary girl compared to the old fritters of the supernatural incident investigation team, and she doesn't have the ability to react so quickly when she encounters danger.
And what did Scarface mean by the big change he told me before? Could it be that there is some earth-shattering big secret in this little phoenix gall?
At the same time, what puzzles me is, where are Qingfeng Dao Chang and Lu Zhenren going? Could it be that the place they went has something to do with the mysterious map from last time?
I was thinking about these questions one by one, and the car drove unconsciously for more than an hour, and the two men also fell asleep on their own leans and snored.
"Zuo Thirteen, we are all people in the same boat now, and there are no outsiders in the car, I have something I want to ask you, can you ask directly?" Zhao Man, who was driving, said to me suddenly.
"Yes." I glanced at the two middle-aged men who had fallen asleep and said.
"I heard Team Yue say that you have had a ghost daughter-in-law by your side since you were a child?" Zhao Man asked me.
As soon as Zhao Man said this, Bai Ruotong, who was sitting in front of him, turned his head and looked at me in surprise.
"Yes, when I was nine years old." I replied truthfully, since their paranormal investigation team already knew, there was no need for me to hide it.
"I heard that you promised Team Yue to go to the tomb with us, just to find the corpse fungus born by Yin Qi to save her?" Zhao Man continued to ask me.
"That's right." I said.
"There's something I don't know if to say or not." Zhao Man said, turning down the visor in front of the window.
"Yes." I vaguely guessed that this woman named Zhao Man would definitely tell me about An Rushuang.
"She has a thousand years of Taoism, and her mind is no longer comparable to you and me, why would she marry you? If it is said that it is for the sake of your family's little incense, it is ridiculous, there must be something else, did your grandfather believe the words of the female ghost at that time? Zhao Man said to me.
After listening to Zhao Man's words, I felt a little unhappy in my heart, my daughter-in-law, whether she was a human or a ghost, was said by others to have other plans, and it would not be happy if she was anyone.
"I don't want to say anything more about this matter, whether my ghost daughter-in-law is sincere to me, whether she has other plans, no one knows better than myself." What annoys me the most is that someone doubts An Rushuang.
An Rushuang has almost lost her soul many times in order to save me, if I still doubt her, is it still a person?
"You're doing it yourself." Zhao Man said a word, then drove with peace of mind and did not speak again.
When she asked me this, my mood sank suddenly, and I didn't bother to think about the past, so I fell asleep on the chair.
I don't know how long it has been, I vaguely felt that someone was pushing me, and when I opened my eyes, the car had stopped, and Bai Ruotong and I were left in the car, and she was pushing me just now.
"Where is this?" I rubbed my eyes and looked at Bai Ruotong and asked.
"Halfway there, you can eat something." Bai Ruotong said and handed me a bottle of nutrition slow line and a pack of biscuits.
I hadn't eaten or drunk for several hours, and I was indeed a little hungry, so I took it from Bai Ruotong's hand and ate it.
After eating, I looked around, it turned out to be a toll station, got off the bus and went to the toilet, and when I came back, Zhao Man and the two middle-aged people were already sitting in the car, starting the car, filling up the gas, and continuing on the road.
Probably because he was too tired, Zhao Man asked one of the middle-aged men to drive for him, and she sat in the back of the car with me.
Because I had just slept once, I couldn't sleep at all on the next road, so I simply didn't sleep anymore, sat up and looked out the car window and looked at the scenery.
Finally, at about 10 o'clock in the evening, we finally arrived in Guizhou, and after more than ten hours of car riding, our buttocks hurt.
After the car stopped in a hotel parking lot, I felt fluttery when I got out of the car and walked, and for the first time, I felt so solid on the road.
After the four of us, Scarface and Chen Yuluo gathered, we stayed in the hotel together.
After each person asked for a single room, they agreed to gather early tomorrow morning and go to the Maolan Karst primeval forest.
When I got back to my hotel room, I lay on the bed and didn't want to move, thinking that Scarface didn't say that eight people would go to the grave together. Why are there only six of us now? Where did the other two go? Could it be that they suddenly changed their minds?
Forget it, I don't want to, I went to take a shower first, got up from the bed and took a shower, and then I fell asleep.
After a night of silence, everyone gathered early the next morning, got into the car again, and rushed towards the Maolan Karst primeval forest.
After driving out for more than two hours, the car stopped in a public parking lot in a mountainous area, and then the six of us got out of the car at the same time, at this time there were only a few weedy paths in front of us, Scarface first took out a few sets of clothes, and asked us to change into long clothes, trousers, hats, leggings, etc., needed to cross the primeval forest, in case of insect and snake bites.
Then everyone carried a large and small backpack containing water, food, clothes, and various equipment and props needed to go to the grave.
Except for Bai Ruotong, the five of us have a lot of weight.
After everything was ready, Scarface took out a map, followed the compass on his watch and discussed with Chen Yuluo for a long time, and finally decided on a specific direction, and we took the two of them and walked into the depths of the Maolan Karst primeval forest.
In the depths of the dense forest, there are more and more thick trees, and when you look up, you can only see a little sunlight, and in some places there is no sunlight at all.
The ground is very dense with mossy vegetation, which extends to a height of three or four meters above the trunk, and also because of the dampness, the leaves and branches that have accumulated over the years gradually decay, giving off a damp smell of rotting wood.
However, many stones and trees on the mountain road are moss, and it is very slippery to step on, and Bai Ruotong, who walked behind me several times, almost fell, so I had to use the candle dragon Jiufeng in my hand to cut a branch and use it as a crutch with her.
The more you walk in this primeval forest, the more mosquitoes there are, and from time to time there will be all kinds of insects crawling on your body, but fortunately, Scarface has prepared in advance, if you come in in short-sleeved shorts, you will immediately be covered with bags.
Bai Ruotong, who was following me, seemed to be very interested in this primeval forest, and it didn't matter whether we came to the tomb or traveled, when we saw a place with good scenery, we took out our mobile phones to take pictures, but in this kind of place, the mobile phone does not have any signal, and it can only be used to take pictures.
"Be careful when walking, look down and don't step on the snake." Scarface, who walks at the front, reminds us.
After walking for nearly two hours, our group stopped, ate something briefly, rested for a while, and then continued to follow the map and the direction pointed by Chen Yuluo.
Speaking of this, I have to admire this Chen Yuluo, in this kind of dense forest where everything looks like everywhere, he can distinguish the direction and find the specific location of the ancient tomb with just a pair of eyes, which is indeed a two-trick idea.
And the two middle-aged men didn't speak all the way, just hurried away, and I once wondered if those two people were dumb at all.
This time, it was not until evening that Scarface beckoned everyone to rest in place, preparing to set up tents and light bonfires here.
After the four of us set up the tent, I put all the backpacks on my back in the tent, and immediately felt much more relaxed, moved a little, walked out of the tent, and there was already a bonfire outside.
By this time it was already dark, and everyone sat down around the campfire and took out the jerky and compressed biscuits and ate them.
"Brother Chen, I am convinced of your ability to look at the stars and find the pulse, and the ancient tomb of any dynasty can be turned out for you." Scarface sat by the campfire and nibbled on the jerky in his hand and said to Chen Yuluo on the side.
Chen Yuluo smiled and said:
"In fact, in the final analysis, no matter which dynasty or generation, China's tomb pattern for thousands of years is derived from the layout of the five elements of feng shui, and everything is unchanged, all pay attention to wind and water, and it can also be said that as long as you know how to watch the pulse of the mountains and rivers in the world, no matter how deep the hidden ancient tombs can be easily found......"
While they were talking, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be an extra thing on several extremely thick locust trees behind Zhao Man opposite me, and I was so frightened that I gasped when I looked closely at it by the light of the bonfire!
Because I saw a strange human face on the trunk of one of the locust trees!! Gentlemen gather in the Hall of Righteousness and are taboo for the living
