This peach blossom tree is very ordinary, it doesn't look special, and it is backed by a small hillside behind it.

"Here?" Xie Xiaolou looked around, except for the small hillside, there was no difference between the rest of the island and the rest of the island.

Brother Peng nodded, took out a piece of rune paper that had been written with cinnabar, and pasted it on the peach blossom tree, the rune paper actually caught fire, slowly burning, and burned a small hole in the peach blossom stump, and then the small hole slowly became larger, and both sides of the trunk were burned black, becoming a large open tree hole.

Although this peach blossom tree grows against a small hillside, I didn't expect it to be connected to the hillside after boiling, and the trunk of the tree naturally became the gate of the cave.

"Heh, I can't imagine that there is another cave." Xie Xiaolou looked at the darkness inside the tree hole, and didn't dare to rush in, "Please Brother Peng lead the way." ”

Brother Peng smiled, guessed Xie Xiaolou's thoughts, didn't say anything, turned on the flashlight he carried with him and walked inside.

Xie Xiaolou was just about to follow, but was grabbed by Xie Xiaoyu, and Xie Xiaoyu's somewhat solemn voice came from his ears: "There is something strange in this cave." ”

"Well, be careful." Xie Xiaolou was worried in his heart, and he didn't know what the secret that Brother Peng said was going to tell him, could all the answers be revealed in this cave? Why do you still say that you want to tell me in person that it is more exciting than Xue Baihe?

The cave is relatively narrow and can only accommodate one person to be wide, Xie Xiaolou and the two followed Brother Peng one after the other, and slowly walked to the depths of the cave, the damp and cold air around them slowly became warmer, and the three of them turned a corner and walked to a flat place.

The mountain spring is surging in this place, the top of the head is not completely closed, the moonlight outside shines through the sparse grass and trees, and the layout in the cave is faintly visible, Xie Xiaolou found that there are some wooden tables and chairs, as well as some pots and pans and simple stoves made of stones, obviously there are traces of people living here for a long time.

"Come out, you have to know what you need to know." Brother Peng extinguished the flashlight and said to the dark place in the cave.

"Mom, is that you?" Xie Xiaolou's heart was so nervous that he couldn't help but shout.

There was a sound in the darkness, as if the man was hesitating about something, but he never appeared.

Xie Xiaolou was excited, and couldn't help but walk towards the dark place, to see the true face of that person's Lushan.

"Be careful!" Suddenly, hearing Xie Xiaoyu scream, Xie Xiaolou seemed to have hit something in a trance, and his eyes were full of pain with a "oops".

When he rubbed his forehead and slowly opened his eyes, he found that he was facing a tree trunk at close range, and a slight cool breeze was blowing around him.

"How did you get out?" Xie Xiaolou held back the pain, looked around, and found that he was not in any cave, but still in front of the peach blossom tree that grew by the mountain.

"Just an illusion?" Xie Xiaolou looked at Brother Peng suddenly, and a smile appeared on the other party's face.

"Whether it's true or not, you should be mentally prepared for it." Brother Peng said something that was incomprehensible.

However, the strange thing was that Brother Peng actually took out the rune paper and pasted it on the peach blossom tree trunk in front of him, just like in Xie Xiaolou's illusion before, and the rune paper also began to burn as if it had been arranged.

The only difference is that when the door of the tree cave was burned open, Brother Peng did not turn on the flashlight and walked in according to the established action, but looked back and said with a sneer: "You should have seen enough, but the secrets in this cave, you still don't want to know, although you are already dead." ”

Now that it was broken, the M group, which had been following the three people, was no longer hiding, and they all walked out.

"No matter how powerful Mr. is, he is just flesh and blood, aren't you afraid of this?"

The black wolf approached a few people as he spoke, and took out his pistol with Bai Ling and Long Yan and aimed it at Brother Peng.

Brother Peng smiled when he saw this: "People, there are many kinds, maybe there are some you haven't seen?" ”

Xie Xiaolou saw that Group M was walking out in a bright light, obviously thinking that Brother Peng was like a turtle in an urn, and there was nowhere to escape except for the tree hole in front of him, but he knew that Brother Peng could not be dealt with so easily.

"Xie Xiaolou, what you want to know is inside, why don't you go in?" Brother Peng faced the muzzle of the three black holes and didn't care.

"Xiaolou, you go in first, and we'll come after we catch this murderer." The dragon's tone was firm, believing that Brother Peng would be difficult to fly with wings.

"Let's go." Xie Xiaoyu didn't have too much nostalgia for a few people, and urged Xie Xiaolou.

Xie Xiaolou glanced at a few people, thinking that although Brother Peng knew some magic doorways, there were three skilled special police officers here after all, and Long Yan's Gu Man Tong could also play a role at critical moments, plus the answers that were about to come out in the illusion before tickled his heart, so he gritted his teeth, made a difficult decision, and said to a few people: "Be careful!" ”

After speaking, he pulled Xie Xiaoyu into the tree hole.

Xie Xiaolou had a strong flashlight given by Team M last time in his backpack, so he turned it on, and a white light shot straight into the depths of the cave.

"What the hell just happened?" Xie Xiaolou remembered the previous illusion.

"You have been given a Gu," Xie Xiaoyu walked behind him and said softly, "There are peach blossoms everywhere here, it is estimated that Brother Peng is under a peach blossom Gu." ”

Although Xie Xiaoyu said it lightly, there was an uproar in Xie Xiaolou's heart, this Xiangxi Gu technique was too weird, as if anything could be used as a medium, which was unguardable. If Brother Peng had the intention to kill me, he would have died a thousand times.

Thinking of this, Xie Xiaolou suddenly chuckled in his heart, there were peach blossoms everywhere? Isn't that a few people in Group M......

Xie Xiaolou was worried, but now he was no longer allowed to make other choices, he had already reached the flat place in the previous illusion, and the surrounding layout was exactly the same as what he had seen before.

"Mom?" Xie Xiaolou's reaction was the same as in the illusion, and he shouted tentatively.

"No," Xie Xiaoyu suddenly became short of breath, it stands to reason that she didn't need to breathe, but she felt an inexplicable pressure, which caused the resonance of the soul in her body, some familiar and unfamiliar feelings, and she couldn't help kicking up.

"No...... No...... It's not your mother......"

Xie Xiaolou, who was already a little nervous, heard that even Xie Xiaoyu was a little overwhelmed, and spoke intermittently, expecting that the other party might be even greater than Brother Peng's ability, anyway, he didn't know if it was a person or a ghost, so he hurriedly took out a dagger from his backpack and smeared it with cinnabar.

"Who the hell is it, don't pretend to be a ghost." Xie Xiaolou held a dagger in one hand, and fiddled with a strong flashlight in the other, shining in the shadows of the cave.

A heavy sigh came from the darkness, Xie Xiaolou snorted, and the sound shone the flashlight.

Hearing a click, the flashlight slipped from Xie Xiaolou's hand and fell to the ground, and the light was suddenly extinguished.

Although the flashlight only swept over the people in the shadows for a moment, Xie Xiaolou saw the face that he could never forget for the rest of his life, the face that he thought about day and night, and appeared in his dreams countless times!

That is his father, who has already passed away from liver cancer - Xie Yuan!

Even if he was asked to guess all the people in the world, he couldn't imagine that it would be his father who appeared here.

"Dad~" Xie Xiaolou spoke slowly, but he was already in tears.

Xie Xiaoyu has followed the Xie family all her life, every generation of the Xie family treats her as her own, and she has long been accustomed to being their daughter, she has followed Xie Yuan longer than Xie Xiaolou, and she has already distinguished one or two from the familiar atmosphere, but she is also stunned at this moment.

"Xiaolou, Xiaoyu." Xie Yuan's hoarse voice came from the darkness, "Although I am glad to see you, this is not the place you should be." ”

When Xie Xiaolou heard his father's voice, he came to his senses a little, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and turned a thousand words into three simple words: "Why?" ”

Xie Yuan was silent, only to hear Xie Xiaoyu suddenly speak, without any emotion in his tone: "What is buried under this Peach Blossom Island is really countless resentful soul corpses?" ”

The mountain spring in the cave flows through the stones and makes a different tone of sound, and the jingling bells surround the cave.

"It's come to this, and you can't hide anything from us anymore." Xie Xiaolou calmed down a little, and when he saw that his father didn't speak, he said in a slightly choked voice, "You were originally a dead person, Peach Blossom Island is located in the lower reaches of the Tuojiang River, and it is a natural place to gather yin and gather corpses. The last few words are a little stiff and indifferent.

According to the view of the yin and yang world, the soul of life is also divided into yin and yang, the soul is yin and the soul is yang, the yang dominates the appearance and action of the person, and the yin soul dominates the inner thoughts of the person. If there is only yang and no yin soul, people are like the walking dead, they can only move but have no thoughts; If there is only a yin spirit and no yang spirit, the person will become paralyzed, and although the consciousness is clear, he cannot express it.

And Xie Yuan's method of refining the corpse to continue his life is to completely replenish the yin soul by absorbing yin qi every day, sealing the only remaining bit of yang spirit, so that he can stay in the world.

"You know, I'm not reconciled!" Xie Yuan, who had been silent, finally roared in the dark, "I'm sorry for the Xie family, I couldn't pass on the corpse scripture, I couldn't make you live a good life, I am not willing to die of exhaustion like this!" ”

With Xie Yuan's roar, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the darkness, a bit like something breaking through the ground.

"Dad, what are you going to do?" There was no need for Xie Xiaoyu to remind him, even Xie Xiaolou smelled a strong corpse gas.

"In the era of peace, there is no place for us to chase corpses," Xie Yuan slowly walked out of the darkness and walked into the moonlight, "Since there are no corpses to chase, then let me make them!" ”

Only then did Xie Xiaolou see that his father, who had not seen him for many years, was still no different from when he was buried, his face was pale without a little blood, with his sunken facial features, he was alive like a zombie, and he was still wearing a khaki shirt and trousers when he was buried, which was his favorite and most decent set of clothes and pants in front of him.

The surrounding land was still ringing, and a figure crawled out of the ground, and even the cave was shaken.

"Xiaolou, I hope to create an era for you to show your talents," Xie Yuan's hoarse voice carried a hint of joy, "These 'children' are your first step in setting sail." ”
