Chapter 408: Mysterious Valley

Because I really can't believe it, the two of them just look exactly the same, because when Bai Ruotong and I went to the ancient tomb before, the insects in the ancient tomb would rather be crushed to death by themselves than save her life, judging by this, this Bai Ruotong must have an inexplicable relationship with the female corpse in the ancient tomb.

But I can't find out what the relationship between them is, and that's what I have to find out in the tomb.

Along the way, the guide Huang Xiaoming seemed to talk a lot, and kept telling me about the things they encountered in this mountain, although it was just the two of us, but I didn't feel bored along the way.

Because it rained lightly for most of the night last night, the road today is not easy to walk, it is slippery, and the speed is naturally not fast.

Walking until noon, the two of us continued to march along the depths of the "Maolan Karst Forest", eating some dry food while walking to satisfy hunger, today's part of the trip, relatively easy, because of the lessons learned yesterday, Huang Ziming tried to take me to choose the slope near the mountain to walk.

The part where the mountains and the forest meet, the plants are much more sparse than the depths of the jungle, because of the moderate density, it is like a natural air filter purifier, neither the humid and sultry heat in the jungle, nor the sullen cold produced by the high altitude of the mountain, the fragrance of flowers and trees is refreshing, and the mind is clear, and the fatigue of the previous day and night does not seem to be very obvious.

After walking for four or five hours in the southeast direction together, the scenery in front of us completely changed, the trees and flowers on both sides of the original chaotic varieties of trees and flowers all turned into red, white and yellow flowers, countless, this piece of wood, the forest is neat, the mountains grow densely, forming a narrow pure forest belt, the trunk is covered with moss and lichen, and the silk is hanging like a beautiful and elegant, all this in front of it is full of the mystery of the primeval forest......

Further ahead, there is a naturally formed stream, which flows through the woods and into the depths of the forest, into the deep valley in the distance, where the vegetation is dense and the terrain is undulating, and the telescope cannot be seen in the valley in front of it.

Seeing this, I took out the map from my backpack again and studied it with Huang Ziming.

From Huang Ziming's mouth, if I wanted to go to the place marked on the map, the nearest way was to pass through the valley in front of me, and then walk about a few miles forward, and I would be there.

After hearing Huang Ziming's words, I learned that the leyline I needed to find was almost here, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed, and my strength came up, so we accelerated our pace and continued to move towards the valley in front of us.

After walking briskly for about twenty or thirty minutes, Huang Ziming and I walked through a half-human-high rice artemisia bush and rushed to the valley mouth in front.

I stood in front of this valley mouth and looked at it, the valley mouth seemed very incongruous with the surrounding environment, it seemed a little dark, the surrounding vegetation was also very sparse, and this valley mouth was not open, but like the entrance to a natural cave.

"Dude, what do you think this is?!" Suddenly, Huang Ziming, who was not far away, seemed to have discovered something, turned his head to look at me and asked.

After hearing Huang Ziming's words, I hurriedly walked towards him.

Standing beside him, I looked at the ground and saw a rectangular stone on the ground that resembled a tombstone, which was already covered with dark green moss, but even so, I could clearly see a very strange pattern carved into the stone, like a totemic pattern.

Seeing this, I stepped forward to remove the moss from the stele, and saw that the stele was not carved with a totem, but a fox with several tails!

When I saw the fox on the stone tablet, I immediately thought of Bai Ruotong in my heart, and sure enough, this Bai Ruotong is inextricably linked with the female corpse in this ancient tomb!

But why is this stone monument carved with a fox between the entrances to this valley? Could it be that there is some connection between this valley and the ancient tomb before it?

With this in mind, I no longer hesitated to enter this valley to find out.

Pulling out a flashlight from my backpack, Huang Ziming and I walked into the valley together.

Although this is a valley, in fact, the structure is not much different from a larger cave, in the deep and dark valley from time to time there is a tinkling sound of water dripping down on the stones, "tick, tick, ......tick" The original crisp sound of water droplets, at this moment in this valley, listening to my ears is so dull, it actually makes me feel a very resistant to entering this opaque valley from the bottom of my heart, as if there is some danger waiting for me and Huang Ziming in the depths of this valley......

Further in, on the top of this valley are densely inhabited piles of black bats, the sound of water droplets falling and the sound of bats are mixed together, adding a bit of weirdness to this dark valley.

As we entered the valley, we went deeper and deeper, and suddenly there were several more stones in front of us, all of which had strange runes carved on them, and near these stones with runes were several sets of tattered wooden coffins.

The wooden coffins were empty, not to mention the bones, there was nothing but dust and dirt, but when I saw those tattered empty coffins, I had a very bad premonition in my heart......

Huang Ziming, who had been following me, saw those tattered wooden coffins, probably feeling a little worried in his heart, and asked me:

"I said brother, let's ...... Where are we here? How can there be so many coffins in here? ”

After hearing Huang Ziming's words, I pretended not to know and said:

"I said Brother Huang, if you ask me, I still want to ask you, you don't know as a local, how can I know as a foreigner? Don't you have any custom here to bury the dead in the valley? ”

When Huang Ziming heard my words, he immediately shook his head:

"No, no, I've been living here for almost thirty years, and I haven't heard of this custom anywhere, so brother, you're not afraid at all?"

After hearing Huang Ziming's words, I turned back to him with a smile and said:

"I said Brother Huang, they are coffins together, but in fact, to put it bluntly, they are pieces of wood, what is there to be afraid of?"

After Huang Ziming heard my words, he nodded and gave me a thumbs up:

"Okay, brother, your psychological quality is really good, brother, I will obey you......

As we talked, we continued to walk forward, and after walking a few steps, I suddenly heard something on the side, and hurriedly turned my head and nodded with my hand, and looked over there, with the light of the strong flashlight, I suddenly saw a black shadow, "whoosh", and jumped out behind us.

"It's a wildcat!!" Huang Ziming, who was beside me, exclaimed in surprise when he saw it.

Seeing Huang Ziming's appearance, I was a little puzzled, it was just a wild cat, why did he scare him like this? Then he asked:

"Brother Huang, why is a cat still scaring you?"

When Huang Zi heard my words, he said with a pale face:

I said...... I said brother, it's not a good thing to see a wild cat outside, it's very unlucky, why don't we go back first? ”

"Bad luck to see a wildcat?" I looked at Huang Ziming and asked puzzled.

黄子明 says:

"There is a saying in our place, that is: 'Pigs come to be poor, dogs come to be rich, and cats come to pull filial piety', which means that if you encounter a wild cat in the wild, it is likely to bring bad luck and even kill people!"

After hearing Huang Ziming's words, I did understand a little, in fact, not only they have a saying in this place, but even in "Maoshan Taoism", I have also seen the phrase "cats are psychic, dogs are human".

Moreover, in ancient Chinese legends, cats represent misfortune, bad luck, death, mystery, undead, and death, and early Western countries also believed that cats were the embodiment of witches who came out to wander at night.

Thinking of this, I said to Huang Ziming:

"Brother Huang, why don't you go back by yourself, anyway, after passing through this valley, and then continue to walk a few miles to the location on the map, it's not far, I can find it myself."
