West Tianmu Mountain is located at the junction of Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, its depth of more than 30 kilometers is the primeval forest no man's land, and its main peak Dianjing Mountain is a mysterious mountain that can be seen but not touched. Thirty years ago, a five-member geological exploration team claimed to have discovered high-quality antimony ore on Dianjing Mountain, and lost contact with it half a month later. A large number of soldiers began to enter Dianjing Mountain and evacuated urgently five days later, leaving only a secret that had been passed down from the mouths of the villagers for decades and had not been solved.

Halfway up the mountain, I saw the abandoned camp, the collapsed tent had long since lost its original military green, full of dead branches and leaves, and only a few small corners were left to be recognized. There were also some drilling equipment scattered around the camp, a diesel engine had rusted plates, and several oil drums with the number of such and such a unit had been overturned to the ground by scattered rolling stones. Indescribable desolation, indescribable silence.

Dianjing Mountain is pyramid-shaped, and the camp is located in a relatively flat place in the middle of the mountain. The shadowmen carried the coffin and stayed near the camp for a short while, and after looking around, they continued up the hill, where I saw Cha Wenbin.

There was a grass nest under a pile of dead leaves, and Cha Wenbin was lying in that grass nest, and I was sitting on the coffin, so my line of sight was also the highest. I saw a black head in the grass, with a lot of weeds and leaves on top of it, and in front of the grass nest stood a small black paper flag, which I later learned was the "invisibility charm". The so-called stealth is only for the dirty, and this paper made of the mane on the tail of a black buffalo mixed with the bark of a century-old willow tree can hide the breath of a living person. The dirty things are very vigilant, but after all, they can't find Cha Wenbin, who is well hidden.

The altitude of Dianjing Mountain is nearly 1,000 meters, it is very steep, the vegetation is dense, and there is no road at all. From the foot of the mountain, the rain in Dianjing Mountain is the most violent in the entire Liangjiagou area, but it is really strange to find that there is no rain here, and even the branches and leaves of the trees on the side of the road have not been stained with any rain.

At that time, my consciousness began to gradually blur again, but I didn't know that the real me was lying in the hospital at that time, and my grandmother had helped me take out the "wool sha" in my body, and that dream-like memory stopped, and my last picture was carried by the group of people to the deeper and higher woods.

A day later, the merchant, who had been in a coma and sleeping, suddenly woke up, and then called out loudly to his daughter-in-law, saying that he was hungry. The family was overjoyed, and this person finally got better. After the merchant got up, he walked around, complaining about why it was raining so heavily, and that evening he wanted to eat chicken, and if he wanted to eat rooster, it had to be stewed.

He ate three bowls of rice and drank some wine that night, but he only ate the head of the chicken that he had killed for him. About an hour later, the merchant said that he was very sleepy and wanted to rest. His daughter-in-law thought that it was really a god who came down to save his man, so she specially took the incense paper and worshiped at the door, and the incense began to spread out to the height of one person, and the smoke was not scattered upward, but flat.

When his daughter-in-law entered the door again, she saw a piece of paper on the ground falling, which was the "substitute talisman" drawn by Cha Wenbin that day, which was originally pasted on the door of the merchant's brother's room. His daughter-in-law thought that the wind was too strong to blow it down, and she wanted to ask the merchant to get up and re-paste it, but the merchant never woke up from this sleep.

The fragrance floats seven inches, and the soul enters seven feet!

After all, a piece of "substitute talisman" still didn't survive three days, and Brother Merchant was like this as a full ghost, and he was already a dead man when he started gnawing on the chicken's head.

The rain is too big, the merchant brother can't even send out the mourning, the terrain of his house is not short, but the road in front of the door has been completely flooded, leaving only his daughter-in-law and children to guard the gradually cold corpse, howling and crying by the hula wind and rain gradually covered up in the sky above Liangjiagou.

It's not that other people don't want to help, but they can't help at all, the water in the river is rising every minute, if it weren't for the timely evacuation of a group of people in low-lying areas, Liangjiagou is afraid that the corpses will be all over the field. Because of the high terrain in our family, we helped more than a dozen people at once, and they all said that the reservoir and dam in it could not be washed away, and if it was broken, Liangjiagou would have to be removed by half.

In the end, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore, transported a big black coffin, and took advantage of the moment when the rain was light to send the coffin to the merchant's brother's home. According to the rules and customs, his family is to mourn for three days, and the grave should be built on the same day.

I can't remember many of the rest of the things, that memory is lost for me, and then according to the arrangement of the river map, I try to restore all the things that shocked the world and weep ghosts.

On the day of the merchant's return, the Cha family also underwent a change. Zhuo Xiong and Zha Brown were still recuperating from their injuries, Cha Wenbin left the head of the Heavenly Master Daobao at home to suppress the group of wild ghosts, and Hetu was still immature and could only squat at the door hoping that the master would come back early.

There is a special tomb on the ancestral tomb of the Cha family, and there is a small pavilion in front of this tomb, and a copper bell is hung in the pavilion. This copper bell can sound without wind, it was taken by Dashan from the hands of the fake Taoist priest, and this bell is said to detain a trace of Dashan's soul, so that Dashan's body is not rotten and his breath is always there. Buried in the grave is a well-dressed mound, and Cha Wenbin wants to tell those bad people that this person is dead, and they should not come to entangle again, in order to avoid the catastrophe.

On that day, the Wulipu where the Cha family was located was also covered with dark clouds, and there was no rain when I saw thunder. Someone hurriedly came to check the house to deliver a letter, saying that the ancestral tomb of his master's family was smoking thick smoke, and he was afraid that thunder and lightning had slashed the chestnut forest on the mountain, causing a mountain fire. If the master's ancestral tomb mountain was burned, he would be able to pay it back, so he planned to go up the mountain alone to see the situation.

When I reached the foot of the mountain, I saw a fire in the forest, and the chestnut tree was a tree with little sap, and it would not be long before it burned to the grave above. Seeing the heavy rain pouring not far away, and the fire on the mountain fire on my side, coupled with the strong wind, the fire was very fierce. Hetu was in a hurry, so he turned back and prepared to find someone to put out the fire, and when the people in the village were about to go up the mountain with the guys, the heavy rain that had been held for a long time poured down.

The rain didn't last long, it ended in half an hour, but the rain was enough to extinguish the fire. After the rain stopped, Hetu planned to go up the mountain to check the situation, and wanted to wait for the master to come back with an explanation, so he touched the mountain alone.

I also visited this chestnut forest when I was a child, and the trees here are very old, so they bear very little fruit. It is not uncommon for people in the village to get this fruit, so it is basically dolls like us who go to pick up the chestnuts that have fallen from the tree after the frost, and use stones to smash the thorn balls outside, and the meat inside is very sweet.

The chestnut tree is good at losing its leaves, and the leaves on the ground are thick and I don't know how many meters have been paved, and this mountain fire is burned clean with the leaves of the trees, leaving only a piece of scorched earth mixed with rainwater, which makes people unable to fall to the ground. Hetu is a filial son, he has to go up the mountain to see if the tomb of the ancestor has been destroyed, and he has not come down this mountain.

Zhuo Xiong and Zha Brown waited at home for a long time and did not see the figure of Hetu, so they went out to look for it, the ancestral tomb mountain is not far from Cha's house, and Zhuo Xiong has been up more than once or twice, and it is very familiar. The two were afraid that the mountain road would be slippery, but Hetu had fallen, so they changed into rubber shoes and went up the mountain to look for it, and they couldn't see Hetu's figure everywhere, but Zhuo Xiong saw a scene that he couldn't accept: the pavilion in front of the mountain tomb had been shattered into a ground, presumably by the thunder, but fortunately it was not damaged in other places.

Zha Brown had also heard about the past of the people in this tomb, and after reciting a scripture, he was ready to drag Zhuo Xiong down the mountain, because it was about to get dark, and the area of this mountain was not large, and the river map could be found at a glance when he was not on the mountain.

Zhuo Xiong tugged at the ruins of the smashed pavilion for a while and said, "Something is wrong, there's something missing here." ”

"What's missing?"

Zhuo Xiong half-squatted on the ground, pinching a piece of broken tile on the pavilion in his hand and said, "A bell!" ”
