But thinking of the legend of the Mountain of the Dead, as well as those strange crowds last night, he hesitated a little, for the events of last night, Xu Xinli felt a little vague at the moment, and sometimes even suspected that everything was just a dream, but when he calmed down and thought about it, it shouldn't be a dream, otherwise how could he have such a deep memory?

After thinking about it again, he finally decided to go upstream, after all, he had drunk the water in the stream, so he had to know why it was so dark, and he had to die to understand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thinking of this, Xu Xinli gritted his teeth, walked under an elm tree next to him, cut off a branch as thick as a rolling pin, repaired it briefly, and used it as his own weapon.

He knew that there was a high probability that there would be some beasts on a wild mountain like this, and although this rolling pin might not be useful, it was better than bare hands.

Although there is no road, it is not difficult to walk along the Black Water Creek, there are relatively flat beaches for one person to walk on the bank of the stream, and there are not many weeds and trees.

Xu Xinli held the rolling pin tightly and walked towards the upper reaches of Heishui Creek step by step.

The further you go, the wider the beach becomes, but the stream doesn't get bigger, so it's more comfortable to walk.

After walking for about half an hour, the surrounding trees became sparse, and after a closer look, there were many wooden stakes, which were obviously sawn off, Xu Xinli gasped, I thought that there was basically no one on this mountain, but I didn't expect that there was still logging here.

With the traces of human activity, he became much bolder, and his mind began to think wildly, and even imagined that not far ahead, there might be a house, or a village, and the people there would not be afraid to see his appearance, but would entertain him very warmly, and then he would live in that village.

The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes, although Xu Xinli is eighteen years old at this time, sometimes he thinks like a child, after all, he has not yet started a family and has not left his parents.

The more he walked, he found that the trees around him became more and more sparse, and now he could see far away at a glance, which also made his heart feel a lot more steady.

It was not a good feeling to be in the dense woods on both sides below, because he couldn't see anything inside, and he would always consciously or unconsciously wonder if there would be some monsters, beasts, that would suddenly burst out, and now he didn't have to worry, at least something would attack him, and he could find it from a long distance.

Estimating the time, it may have been nearly an hour, Xu Xinli was a little impatient, thinking that if he couldn't find the source again, then go back, otherwise he would get lost, and if he got lost in the mountains, it would not be a joke.

At this moment, a few trees in the distance seemed to be a little red.

Originally, the woods were all green, and although the bright red was not clear, it was still very eye-catching, Xu Xinli's heart moved, could it be that he had really guessed it? Is there actually a house in front?

He hadn't eaten in the morning, and now his stomach began to rumble again, and when he looked around, there didn't seem to be a long vine here, and there were weeds all around, so he shouldn't be able to eat this grass, right?

Thinking that there might be people in front of him, Xu Xinli remembered the delicious food he often ate at home, although most of the time he also ate endo, but the processing methods are different, the taste is not the same, and the most important thing is that eating lettuce alone in the wild, no matter how delicious it is, he doesn't feel very comfortable, so he can have a place to stay, a house to live in, even if it is a little simpler, he can let himself settle down, and then eat homely food, what a happy thing.

His mind was full of fantasies, Xu Xinli's body was also full of strength, and after walking for a while, the red in the distance was already visible, but how did he not look like someone else.

It seems to be a stone tablet of about two zhang, most of the tablet surface is red, and it is a very bright blood red, there is a long strip of white in the middle of the tablet, there seems to be words on it, but it is too far away, it is not clear at all.

Seeing this stele, Xu Xinli immediately thought of the tombstone, and his heart suddenly chuckled, I only heard that this dead man's mountain is full of dead people, but I have never heard that there are tombs here?

Although he was afraid, his curiosity was aroused at this moment, and Xu Xinli slowly walked over.

The Heishui Creek here has become narrower, but it seems that the stream is deeper, because a small canyon two or three feet deep has been formed on both sides of the stream, and at this moment Xu Xinli has to walk up to the top of the canyon.

Looking at the black stream under his feet, Xu Xinli was a little scared, and subconsciously moved away, because he felt that the water had begun to exude a cold air, and there seemed to be a layer of white floating on the black water.

It didn't take long for him to continue his upward journey, and the stone monument he had found before was already in front of him.

If you look closely, it is very similar to the tombstone, the whole stone tablet is about a zhang high, and there are many strange words written on the white space in the middle, or it may be some kind of symbol, anyway, I don't know it.

The stele has no base at all, the roots are buried directly in the earth, and there are no other obvious signs around, so it is impossible to tell if this is a tombstone or not.

Xu Xinli walked to him, and the front of the monument was full of dense weeds, and the Heishui Creek next to it flowed out of those grasses.

Looking at the back of the stele, the Heishui Creek ended here, Xu Xinli was taken aback, and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that this stream flows out of the mountain?

He picked up the dense weeds, carefully looked inside, and finally discovered the source of this black water stream.

It turned out that at the foot of the stone monument, among the weeds half a man high, there was a very small cave. This brook of black water flows out of the hole.

Xu Xinli was a little disappointed, he thought that there could be any secrets at the source of this stream, what paradise he once fantasized, and all kinds of beautiful scenes, but now all of them have come to naught.

There is only a strange stone monument here, and there is a cave, these discoveries seem to be useless to him, alas, Xu Xinli sighed, touched his already deflated stomach, and considered whether to go down the mountain.

He found a relatively clean ground and sat down, after all, he had walked for such a long time on the mountain road, and he had not eaten all morning, even if he was young and strong, he could not bear it.

Sitting on the ground, facing the cave in front of him that kept flowing black water, Xu Xinli thought to himself, it has already reached this point, why don't you go in and have a look? But the entrance to the cave was a little small, and it took some effort to get in, and to enter the cave, he must have to wade through the water, which was what he felt the most resistant.

I just fished out a bone in this black water, although I can't be sure what kind of bone it is, but I can figure it out with my toes, it must be a human bone, and now if I step on that black water, I may encounter many terrible things. (To be continued.) )
