"What's going on?" Jin Dashao looked at the person on the ground shrunk into a ball, his forehead began to sweat, and he raised his eyes to look around, but there may be no accomplices of this person in the village, otherwise he would have run out a long time ago. （）

I looked down, and the man who was curled up in a ball didn't know if he had really been beaten by Maitreya's heavy hand, curled up and trembling slightly, his mouth opening and closing up and down, and his teeth clucking.

"Is he trying to say something?" Jin Dashao asked tentatively, I also vaguely felt that this person's appearance was trying to say something, but he couldn't say it.

In the blink of an eye, all kinds of movements on the man's body suddenly stopped, as if he had lost his breath. Although he is an enemy, but now it is always a peaceful time, and he always feels empty in his heart when he beats people down, and the three of them quickly find a way to get him away. However, just as we carried him, the other party's expressionless face gradually revealed bruised lines, intertwined and horizontal, looking a little strange in the rising moonlight. We were accustomed to seeing strange things, and we didn't feel afraid, but we just wanted to leave as soon as possible, and Maitreya and Jin Dashao carried him, and quickly dug a pit not far away, and buried it.

"Don't be sorry, this man didn't do anything good." Maitreya clapped his hands, glanced at the village, and said, "Hurry up and buy dry food." ”

I always felt like the man was going to talk before he died, but he was dead, and it's a bit redundant to think about it now. The three of them ran into the village and made a bag of steamed buns in a family's house, the other party was an old couple, and the son was in the field, and took good care of us, gave the steamed buns and set up a few pickles. When we went out, the old lady said kindly: "Or, you should take a detour from the east end, the village has set up a funeral shed, and it is unlucky." ”

We thanked us, but we had to go around a big circle from the east end, and the dead people had seen a lot, and we were not shy about them, so we went out directly through the village, and when we were halfway there, we saw the spirit shed. It seems that the deceased should be young, and die outside, according to local customs, if you die outside, you generally do not enter the house, the funeral shed is set up at the door of the house, and there is no one to keep a vigil in the middle of the night. It may be the reason for doing white things, the people in the village are afraid of bad luck, the night is not deep, and no one goes out.

The mourning shed is a very ordinary shed with one side open and three sides sealed, two white lanterns are hung at the door, the body of the deceased is placed in the mourning shed, and there are offerings on the case inside∵ when the mourning shed is passed, Jin Dashao sniffled and became greedy, looked at the several plates of offerings inside, and said: "I want to eat peach crisp." ”

"You also eat the offerings of the dead?"

"You asked him to make a bid, I don't have a word."

The three of them walked through the mourning shed, and after a while, they could leave the village. But when I walked out a few steps, I felt a strange sound behind me, and the hairs of the listeners stood on end.

"Damn" Jin Dashao stopped, swallowed his saliva, and said, "What's going on in the spirit shed?" ”

I turned my head slowly, the two white lanterns hanging at the door of the mourning shed were blown by the wind, swaying slightly, at first, I didn't see anything, but in the blink of an eye, the light refracted by the lanterns suddenly shone a shadow lying on the ground. The shadows were slowly crawling, and the three of us looked at each other, and after a moment's hesitation, the shadows reflected by the lanterns had crawled out of the shed. Obviously, it was the corpses that were crawling in the spirit shed.

"That's fucking stingy! I just said I want to eat peach crisp! And he threw himself out! Jin Dashao hurriedly spread his hands behind him, holding his throat and said, "Look at it, I just said, I didn't really take your peach cake!" ”

In the folklore of the river beach, the corpse fraud is not groundless, there are both legends and facts, but since the corpse is fraudulent, there must be a reason, and it is impossible for a good end to appear abnormal for no reason. The corpses in the shed were obviously coming at us, and after crawling out of the shed, they turned around and continued to crawl in this direction.

"Forget it, ignore it, let's go." Maitreya didn't want to cause more trouble, and in someone's village, something happened, and it didn't end well.

I also had this thought, anyway, the corpse crawls very slowly, and if we just run, it will definitely not be able to catch up. But with a flicker of my eyes, I found that the corpse's face was covered with blue and purple lines. This situation immediately made my brain react, the person who was killed by Maitreya before had something to say, but he couldn't say it, this corpse may have spoken on his behalf.

Thinking of this, I didn't leave, there was a Zhenhe mirror on my body, and the corpse that crawled out of the spirit shed didn't dare to approach it again from a distance, and the corpse rumbled in its throat a few times, and it converged into a very unfamiliar voice and came over.

"Are you looking for a mirror?"

My heart immediately tightened, this voice did not explain, but as soon as I mentioned the mirror, I couldn't help but think of the mirror that the heavy pupil of the Holy Land said, Qiqi was in that mirror. I took two sharp steps, and the corpse on the ground also shrank backwards, I am not a member of the Tan family, I can't talk to the corpse, so I can't ask directly, I can only listen.

"Looking for a mirror to go to the Dragon King Temple in Lianhuan Mountain"

After saying this, the head of the corpse was planted, and then it was motionless, and it was estimated that what it was about to say had been finished. I look at Maitreya, and then look at Jin Dashao, the Dragon King Temple in Lianhuan Mountain, I haven't heard of it yet.

"Let's go first" Jin Dashao dragged me and Maitreya and ran out of the village, and ran a long distance before slowing down, he said: "I know about Lianhuan Mountain, but I don't know if there is a Dragon King Temple." ”

People on both sides of the Yellow River have worshiped the Dragon King since ancient times, and I don't know how many Dragon King Temples are large and small, but they have been demolished a lot in the past few years, and only those in the remote areas have survived. Lianhuan Mountain is the place where the old road of a big river is located in the past, the river goes around the mountain, and the mountain is surrounded by a ring, but the old road has long been out of water.

We talked and discussed, and we didn't have to think much to know that this must be a trap, we hid it very tightly during this time, and did not show any whereabouts, and the people outside could not find us, so they set a trap to lure us. But this trap made me have to not jump, at least to see.

"It's too dangerous to just go hard."

"Qiqi is also a person of the Seven Gates." I listened to what Chongtong said, Qiqi is in a mirror, her timid and extremely pitiful face is always dangling in her mind, and the more she thinks about it, the more unwilling she becomes: "I don't care about my own people, when Nagato wakes up, how can I explain to him?" ”

"If it doesn't work, invite them out." Maitreya thought for a moment and said, "If people want to be saved, we must also be safe." ”

We discussed, Maitreya rushed to meet with his father Pang Gouzi, waited for several days, Maitreya came back alone, I thought it was my father who couldn't get out of the way, but when Maitreya came back, he said that Lianhuanshan can rest assured that the seven generations of people will respond.

With this guarantee, my heart is more steady, Jin Dashao took us to the Lianhuan Mountain, the boat rushed quickly, along the river for two or three days, we arrived at the edge of the old road outside the Lianhuan Mountain, when there was water before, there may be people living on both sides of the road, because of this, will build the Dragon King Temple, but the water of the old road is dry, the people who live by the river can not live, they have moved away, the Lianhuan Mountain is barren I don't know how many years, it is a place where birds don't. Maitreya had never been here, but when he went back to meet Pang Gouzi and them, he had already asked clearly, there was a dragon king temple a long time ago, dilapidated, just behind the first mountain next to the old road.

I can't tell why, but as soon as I walked to Lianhuan Mountain, I felt an indescribable sense of heaviness, which was very inexplicable, and it didn't come from Qiqi. Walking all the way, after that heaviness, there is a faint depression and sadness, I came to Lianhuan Mountain for the first time, and I am very unfamiliar with this place, but as I walk, I feel that there seems to be a trace of indescribable familiarity around me.

It's definitely a weird place.

I gathered the distracting thoughts in my heart, since the other party led me to Lianhuan Mountain, there was a premeditated plan, we Qimen also made corresponding preparations, I can't say who is afraid of whom, but there is no need to hide, we clearly turned over the old road, and climbed the first mountain next to the old road, the dilapidated Dragon King Temple is at the foot of the mountain, there has been no incense for many years, and there is no repair, the temple is almost collapsed, and it is full of holes.

"I guess that's where it is." Maitreya pointed to the Dragon King Temple under the mountain, turned his head to look at me, and said, "Don't worry, the sky won't fall." ”

I nodded, didn't say anything, and ran down the road to the foot of the mountain in one go, and until this time, the surroundings were still quiet. The gate of the Dragon King Temple is long gone, the outer wall has collapsed, through the unblocked gate, you can see at a glance the original dragon king statue in the temple, the statue of the god is crooked to the side, and there is dust everywhere.

I walked slowly towards the ruined temple of the Dragon King, and through the gate, there was silence all around, and when I actually stood on the edge of the gate, I saw that the rotten offering table had been scrubbed clean, and on it lay something obscured by a black cloth.

swish

It was as if an invisible thread had pulled the black cloth, and it seemed to be a sudden gust of wind, and the black cloth on the table was suddenly lifted aside, and then, I saw a mirror, only a foot long.

"Brother"

I believe that this is definitely not an illusion, and the moment I saw this mirror, a voice that felt so familiar to me vaguely floated out of the mirror.

That's Qiqi's voice, it must be!
