I patted Xue Qian's shoulder and said, "Old Xue, do you understand now?" The end of betraying his brother is so tragic. ”

A few of us had a conversation. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, they all began to yawn. So they fell into bed and fell asleep.

By the time we woke up, the old man had already made dinner.

I saw that although the sun was already in the west, it was still early before it got dark, and I couldn't help but ask, "Why is it so early today?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "When I finish eating, I will have something to tell you." ”

I was curious and said, "What's the matter?" It's better to sue us now. ”

The old man shook his head, resolutely refused, he said: "You can't say it before eating, otherwise you won't be able to eat, and you will be hungry, but it's not good." ”

The old man said so. We're all nervous. This meal is even more difficult to eat. We asked two or three more questions, but the old man still refused to say anything, and we had no choice but to give up.

I sat down at the dinner table, ate my dinner in two bites, and then asked the old man, "What is the matter?" ”

The old man cleaned up the table, and then said to us, "Leave a little something, each of you." It also goes well as clothes and things that you are used to. Then tell me the name and the date of birth. ”

I asked, "What is this for?" ”

The old man said, "You're going to enter Monkey Mountain, aren't you?" People who have gone in in the past. Never came out. Before some people go in, they have a certain heart of death and leave their birthdays and clothes behind. Let us make a mound of clothes, and when we die, we will be worshipped at four o'clock, so that we will not starve in the grave. ”

Xue Qian said with a gloomy face: "It turns out that you asked us for clothes." It's to make a mound of clothes. ”

The old man nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

I just wanted to refuse, but Mr. Lu waved his hand and said, "It's okay to stay, no one can be sure whether this trip is life or death." In case it really died. It is also good to have someone to burn incense in the underworld. ”

We thought about it and left one piece of clothing.

Ignorance makes people afraid, and we are used to seeing little ghosts, so we don't feel bad luck about the well-dressed mound.

After writing his name, Mr. Lu looked at the sky and said, "Let's go, let's go and see." When you get to Monkey Mountain, if you don't want to go up the mountain, you can wait outside. ”

When he said this, he looked at Xue Qian. Xue Qian smiled: "Mr. Lu, don't look at me, this time, I will definitely go." It's a big deal to walk behind you, see that the situation is not good, and the soles of your feet are just oiled. ”

The three of us were like yesterday, carrying an oil lamp. Slowly walked towards the river.

The three of us sat on the big rock from last night again, waiting for the water ghost.

The sun is setting in the west. There is a red sun hanging in the sky, and a red sun is also reflected in the water. When I saw this beautiful scene, I was even more reluctant to die.

Once the sun is about to set, it becomes very fast. After a few minutes, it was dusk and the sun was no longer visible. And the light dimmed little by little.

I took out my phone and looked at it, and suddenly found that the phone showed no signal.

Mr. Lu said: "There is a gloomy atmosphere here, and it is normal for the mobile phone to have no signal. ”

Xue Qian said: "Anyway, there is no new news about Chao Yi recently, and there is nothing if I can't receive his call one day." ”

I nodded, put the phone back in my pocket, and then said lightly: "He can't get through tonight, he is annoyed for a while, and if he doesn't call us in the future, it will be bad." ”

Xue Qian said: "If we are in Monkey Mountain, we won't need his phone." ”

We were talking on the rocks, and after a while, there was a rumbling sound on the quiet water. Immediately after, a water ghost came in from inside.

He was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully to Xue Qian and Mr. Lu: "These two are friends of Lord Zhao, right?" ”

Xue Qian and Mr. Lu both nodded.

The water ghost said, "Please come with me." The river is shallow and can be directly waded through. ”

We followed the water ghost slowly inside. It felt like there were some big rocks under your feet. It's very flat to step on, and it's not awkward.

When I was halfway there, I suddenly wondered: "Such a big river, we have already reached the center of the river, why doesn't the river water reach the neck of the feet?" ”

Thinking of this, I shook the oil lamp in my hand, and then glanced at Jiang Xin.

I saw the sparkling water, and under the water, there was a row of corpses. They were connected from end to end, as if they had built a bridge. Just now we didn't step on it at all, we just stepped on the corpse. It's just that the little corpse is like being frozen in ice, cold and stiff, and we can't feel it.

I looked at Mr. Lu, who looked calm and smiled at me, obviously already knowing the truth.

Before I saw the corpses under the water, I was full of doubts, but when I saw them, I became terrified. It was easy to walk to the other side and quickly jumped down.

When we had put on our shoes and socks, the water ghost pointed to the mountains on the other side and said, "It's in the mountains, come with me." ”

We followed the little ghost, holding the oil lamp, and staggered towards the mountain. As Mr. Lu walked, he took out the red rope he had prepared in advance, and tied one at intervals of dozens of steps as a mark.

This time the climb lasted for the middle of the night. When we were sweating profusely and could barely walk anymore, the water ghost finally pointed to the peak above our heads and said, "Legend has it that the demon bones are on the top of the mountain. ”

Then he said with some hesitation: "Although Master Gu successfully came down from the mountain. But I still didn't dare to go up the mountain. ”

He pointed to a large rock next to him and said, "Take this stone as the boundary." If you go up, you will enter the range of Monkey Mountain. In case that demon bone starts a fire, it will be terrifying. ”

We all looked at Mr. Lu and asked, "What should we do?" When to get in? ”

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Since this road is so dangerous, why should we rush in?" He asked the water ghost, "Isn't this a monkey mountain?" Where are the monkeys? ”

The water ghost pointed in one direction and said, "Look carefully. The monkeys are black and are not easy to spot on this dark night. ”

A few of us stared in that direction, looked carefully for a while, and found that there were indeed more than a dozen monkeys, forming in a circle, not knowing what they were doing.

Mr. Lu smiled: "The monkeys here are also very interesting. I don't even sleep at night. ”

After a while, a fire suddenly appeared among the monkeys. We looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Then I saw the fire grow louder and louder, and then a monkey came out with a burning stick in his hand.

With the firelight, we can easily see the situation over there. I looked at the dead grass and wood on the ground and exclaimed, "Drill wood for fire?" ”

The water ghost was obviously accustomed to this scene, and said, "Yes, it is drilling wood to make fire." ”

I couldn't help but say, "Is this still a monkey?" It's simply human. ”

The water ghost smiled: "I think several adults have heard that the monkeys here are immortal, maybe because they live an extraordinarily long life, so they have time to study these things." ”

We watched as the monkeys had a clear division of labor to find dry wood and started a fire on the ground.

The fire shines brightly, illuminating the world of the monkeys. I saw an old monkey lying quietly on the ground. Look at it, it's already dead.!

I asked the water ghost, "What's going on?" Doesn't it mean that monkeys don't die? ”

The water ghost said, "We've seen this happen a few times. This monkey is not really dead, and after a while, it will come back to life. ”

A few of us didn't speak again, but hid in the darkness and watched the monkeys quietly.

The monkeys lifted the corpse up and circled the fire. They didn't know what to say, but I always felt that the voice was rhythmic, like a person talking.

When they were done, they put the monkey's carcass on the ground. Several monkeys supported him and meditated cross-legged.

I looked at Mr. Lu and said suspiciously, "The monkeys here still meditate?" ”

Mr. Lu stared intently at the monkeys, only to see them help the monkey corpses make a few complicated gestures. Mr. Lu exclaimed: "It's Taoism, the monkeys here can even do Taoism?" ”
