Seriously, when I came down from the other side of the hill, I realized why the people of Hachio Village called this hill Tupozi, because there were hardly many big trees on this mountain, and all I saw along the way were weeds and vines, and even if I saw the big trees that had grown, they were wild tubes of vegetation that were not woody plants.

Don't look at the fact that there are not many trees on this dirt slope, but we still encountered a lot of obstacles when we went down the mountain from the other side of the dirt slope.

Fortunately, I took the waist knife that Liu Banxian gave us, and the fat man at this time put away the short knife he brought, and directly used Liu Banxian to give us the waist knife to open up a new mountain road for us.

But this job is only the fat man can come, one is that he is good at using the waist knife with a sharp weapon with a bend, and the other is that the fat man has many experience in the wilderness, knows where to go, what is not easy to walk, and he is at least much stronger than me walking in front of him.

It's a pity that although the altitude of this dirt slope is not high, it is not enough to rely on the fat man to be the pioneer alone, we have only walked one-third of the dirt slope from the top of the mountain to now, but the time has passed nearly forty minutes.

The fat man complained, "Oh, why is this drudgery all my own?" Xu Lu, don't fly alone, take the two of us and float down together. ”

Xu Lu said: "Let me correct me, I am a ghost and not a human, secondly, I am just an ordinary yin ghost, and the strength to float is only enough for my own use, if I take you with me, I might as well walk down the mountain!" ”

"Look at your useless energy! I wouldn't have brought you if I had known! ”

Xu Lu suddenly set off a gust of wind and said, "I can still blow a cool breeze for you!" ”

The fat man was shivered by the wind and said, "I'll go, don't be scared, I'm sweaty, you make me cold again!" ”

To put it simply, when we came to the stuffy ditch below the soil slope, the fat man lay directly on a boulder that rolled down from the mountain and gasped: "Oh, I'm tired grandpa, Xiaobai, you have something to eat in your bag, take some out of Lao Tzu to replenish some physical strength!" ”

As soon as the fat man said it, I remembered that we hadn't had lunch, and after I thought of this, I felt the hunger in my belly, I smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly took out the one who ate from my backpack and ate some, except for Xu Lu.

During the break, I thought about the location of the ancestral hall that Liu Banxian told me, and then looked at the compass while eating and asked the fat man: "Eh, do you think that the ancestral hall will really be the ancestral hall of the surviving people of Bawang Village to commemorate the eight kings?" ”

The fat man shook his head and said, "It's hard to say." You see, Bawang Village is in the west of this mountain, and the ancestral hall is in the ravine of the eastern mountain, if it is really to commemorate the Eight Kings, then why should the ancestral hall be built outside the village? ”

Xu Lu agreed with the fat man's statement, and then nodded and said: "I agree, the ancestral hall is for incense commemoration, and it is normal to repair it in the village, but if it is too far outside the village, then it will be very inconvenient to commemorate the incense!" ”

"But why is there a tablet of the eight kings in the ancestral hall far away in the ravine? And it came out of nowhere! ”

The fat man was full of food and drink, stretched his waist and said, "Let's wait until we find the ancestral hall!" ”

I nodded, looked at the time, and said, "It's almost four o'clock, we have to find the ancestral hall before dark, otherwise we will have to sleep in the field!" ”

After resting for a while, the fat man finally regained his strength, and once again held his waist knife and walked in the direction I had specified.

Fortunately, this ditch is not as difficult to walk as the dirt slope, and only a moment later we saw an ancestral hall made of blue tiles and stone bricks appear in a dense forest in front of us.

From a distance, the roof of this ancestral hall has leaked a big hole, and a lot of weeds have grown out of the few remaining green tiles on the roof.

In addition, the walls of this ancestral hall are already very dilapidated, even if the walls are made of mountain stones, after years of wind and rain, it is inevitable that there will be some traces of weathering, if no one reinforces here, I estimate that in another year at most, this old ancestral hall will become a pile of waste stones.

The fat man looked inside along the open door facing us, and then whispered to me, "There is a tablet, but I can't read the words on it, and I have to get closer." ”

I looked at the compass, and the pointer on it hadn't changed at this point, as if there was nothing evil in the area.

So I nodded, and the two of them walked directly to the inside of the ancestral hall.

As soon as the three of us stepped into the threshold of the ancestral hall, the needle on the compass in my hand began to beat rapidly, and its force was even greater than the last time we encountered a scream.

I subconsciously retreated to the outside of the ancestral hall, but when I stepped out of the threshold, the needle of the compass returned to normal, neither inverting nor beating, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Huh? Could it be that the situation just now was limited to the ancestral hall? Curious, I crossed the threshold again and came inside, but this time, the compass in my hand appeared in the same condition as before.

I no longer doubted it, the insight eye opened instantly, and then quickly scanned the ancestral hall that was only about 100 square meters.

Xu Lu's yin eyes were also activated by her, and she frowned with me to check the situation inside the ancestral hall.

But after I looked around, I found that there was nothing strange in this ancestral hall, except for a dusty offering table in the middle and a tablet incense burner on it, this ancestral hall seemed to be an old house that no one cared for.

I sighed in my heart, this insight may not be able to work every time, let's get down to business first and then talk about the rest.

The fat man pointed to the black tablet on the offering table and said: "Xiaobai, you see, the gold characters on this are indeed the Eight Kings, but this incense burner seems to be a little strange, no one here comes to burn incense, why is there a remnant of burned incense in this incense burner?" ”

I looked down, and sure enough, there were really eight or nine remnants of long incense sticks left after burning in the palm-sized amphora incense burner on the offering table, and the black heads extinguished on it were still very new, as if someone had come here to burn incense in about half a month!

"Will there be anyone around here?" Xu Lu looked out curiously, as if she wanted to see traces of someone coming.

"I don't know if there is anyone, but I'm sure there's weirdness here, Xiaobai, you see what it is!" As he spoke, the fat man stretched out his hand and pointed to the northeast corner of the ancestral hall for me to see.

I looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a lotus platform carved out of stone quietly placed in that corner, if it weren't for the fat man's good eyes, the corner covered by the shadow would really be ignored by Xu Lu and me.

The fat man clenched his waist knife and walked cautiously towards the lotus platform, and then stopped less than two steps away from the lotus platform, and carefully looked at the appearance of the lotus platform.

"Nine pits, the one that disappeared from our eyes! By the way, Xiaobai, when you called in the morning, what did Old Man Wu tell you? ”

I took out a psychic stone ball from my body and said, "He said that if you want to know whether the power of immortality exists, put this on it." Well, do you want to try it? ”

The fat man didn't seem to be afraid of accidents, so he directly reached out and took the stone ball and put it in the pit in the middle of the lotus platform.

After the stone ball was put up, the fat man quickly retreated to my side to look at the little lotus platform, and then less than five seconds later, the stone ball on the lotus platform slowly floated up.

It is said that it is floating, but in fact, it is better to say that the stone ball is held up by a black gas, and I can even see with the naked eye that streams of black resentment are slowly injected into the stone ball in the nine pits above the lotus platform.
