Yes, we were blinded by the ghosts under this tree at night, so we always thought it was dawn. If we hadn't ridden out the ghosts under the tree, perhaps we would never have waited until dawn.

At this time, Yi Bufan touched me, pointed not far ahead, and said, "Sir, look, the mark we made earlier!" ”

Looking in the direction that Yi Bufan pointed, I saw that there were papers we threw down everywhere on the ground, and along the paper, the marks we left were far around the old locust tree in front of us. In other words, last night, we didn't go far at all, but kept circling around this old locust tree!

Everyone's expressions are extremely good-looking, surprised, frightened, afraid, all kinds of things, extremely rich.

Yes, who would have thought that after walking all night, they would be going around a tree in circles?

I smiled bitterly and sighed in my heart, I encountered dirty things when I entered the mountain, I don't know if I was unlucky or a few of them were unlucky. At the same time, I also feel a little difficult about the road ahead, this is the first day of entering the mountain, I encountered so much trouble, first the corpse, and then the ghost hit the wall, so the temple mountain in front of the locals are terrified, isn't it more dangerous?

At this time, I thought of the mountain god that the locals said, remembered Wang Quan's inexplicable death, and remembered his strange expression full of fear but grinning, I shuddered, and said in my heart: I hope it will be smoother in the future!

After a series of terrifying experiences throughout the night, everyone was no longer as reckless as before, and Zhou Lao also believed that there was another thing in this world, something that could not be explained by science.

I persuaded them to go back, because no one knows what the road ahead will be like, whether it will be good or bad, and no one can say. It's not worth burying your life here for the sake of an investigation.

However, Zhou Lao and the others had no intention of giving up, Zhou Lao was unwilling to give up, and Yi Bufan and Lin Wenjing also didn't want to go back halfway. Later, I learned that their investigation was fake, and the real purpose was the same as mine, which was to run for ginseng. It turns out that Zhou Lao is not only a professor of botany, but also a biological researcher, this year there is a terminally ill patient, there is no medicine to treat, but the other party used a hundreds of years of ginseng to extend his life for more than a year, so Zhou Lao this time is looking for hundreds of years of ginseng, wanting to explore what secrets are in this ginseng, which can play a role in prolonging life.

Everyone understands the value of ginseng, which is the essence of plants and has a high medicinal value. Despite this, it is only a nourishing product, and it has absolutely no life-sustaining effect. It is precisely because there is no strong evidence in medicine that when Zhou Lao heard that there were hundreds of years of ginseng in Shennongjia Temple Mountain, there was what happened later.

I originally wanted to give them the ginseng I received from Wang Quan to refine and study, but Zhou Lao refused, he said that he wanted to see the growth environment and soil quality of ginseng for hundreds of years, and if he could find something valuable, so that the artificially planted ginseng could also have the power to prolong life, it would be a great achievement in medicine.

Hearing this, I admire them very much, if it is true that the artificially grown ginseng can achieve the effect of prolonging life in the future, the medical achievements are small, and the contribution to human life is great!

It is precisely for this reason that I have secretly determined that in the next trip, I will do my best to protect them, if not for anything else, but for their good deeds to human life.

Zhou Lao asked me if I had any plans, and I knew that he was worried that I would give up and go home, so that they would be more dangerous, so I asked me like this. I smiled and said I wasn't going to give up halfway, unless my life was lost here.

When Zhou Lao saw me say this, he was obviously relieved, and asked me, it seems that this time I entered the mountain not to find a feng shui treasure cave, right?

At this time, it was all a friendship in distress, so I didn't want to hide it from them, so I told them that I was also looking for ginseng, but I was looking for a thousand-year-old ginseng, and I wanted to use it to save my life. He also told them about my five poisons, and at the same time joked that don't rob me when the time comes.

When they heard that I only had half a year to live, and I had to use a thousand years of ginseng to save my life, they all looked surprised, and of course, they were also worried about me.

The next day or two was relatively peaceful, and the old men were attracted by the strange flowers and plants on the side of the road, explaining and analyzing, taking pictures and taking notes, and having a bit of the spirit of knowledge and exploration.

Because of this, it is easy and leisurely to stop and go along the way, especially in the middle of this nature, which makes people very relaxed and calm.

After a day or two, we finally came to the foot of a large mountain range, which was bigger and taller than anything around. Lush trees, endless mountains, across in front of us, like a beast of prey, lying in front of us, magnificent.

Lin Wenjing's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to the front and said to us, "Come and see, what is this." ”

Hearing this, a few of us hurriedly ran over, only to see a bluestone tablet more than two meters high standing behind several big trees. The bluestone stele is black and full of moss and dirt, obviously I don't know how many years of rain and sun it has experienced, and I know that it is very old at a glance.

The bluestone tablet is also engraved with words, although it has gone through vicissitudes, but the handwriting is still clear. I saw that the words on the bluestone tablet were not modern words, but an ancient font, and I couldn't recognize them after reading them for a long time. Everyone was curious about what words were written on this bluestone stele, and at this time, Zhou Lao said: "The mountain god is forbidden to enter the forbidden land, and the living are forbidden to enter!" ”

We were all curious as to why we could suddenly say such a thing. Zhou Lao pointed to the bluestone tablet in front of him and said, "The words on it are written that the mountain god is forbidden to enter the forbidden land, and the living are forbidden to enter." ”

"Huh? Forbidden! Lin Wenjing was scared at first, and exclaimed, "Then we can't get in?" ”

Yi Bufan said: "Is there really a mountain god master? ”

Zhou Lao said: "This bluestone stele was erected by the previous people, the purpose is to warn the world, don't step into it easily, maybe there are fierce beasts in the mountain, maybe there are obstacles, the mountain god is just a god in people's hearts, whether there is a mountain god or not, no one knows, so don't scare yourself." ”

What Zhou Lao said is not unreasonable, in addition to the role of warning, this bluestone tablet does not necessarily mean that there is a mountain god in the mountain, but it is just a danger warning.

I said, "This is the ancients warning future generations, don't step into this place easily, I think there must be danger in the mountains, you think about it, or go back the same way!" ”

"Sir, do you want to keep going?" Yi Bufan asked.

I nodded: "Anyway, I only have a few months left to live, even if there is really danger inside, I have to try." Now it seems that the mountain in front of me is the Temple Mountain, how can I give up on it. Hehe......"

Hearing me say this, Yi Bufan and Lin Wenjing both looked at Zhou Lao, obviously waiting for his decision. In the end, Zhou Lao did not make a decision immediately, but asked his students: "Do you dare to continue?" ”

Yi Bufan said that he and Lin Wenjing thought about it, and finally decided to go into the mountain to give it a try.

In this way, we stepped over the bluestone monument and walked up the mountain......

Although they made up their minds to enter the temple mountain, everyone still couldn't help but worry in their hearts, you must know that the locals regard the temple mountain as a forbidden place, and if people break in, they will be condemned by the old man of the mountain god.

I asked Zhou Lao if he had heard the rumors of the mountain god. Zhou Lao said with a smile: "Actually, before coming here, I inquired about a lot of things here in the temple mountain, including many legends about the mountain god. However, most of these haunted legends take place in inaccessible places, because the listener cannot easily verify them, and many ravines and caves are said to be haunted, which is also an instinctive way for people to cope with the unknown. That's why it will be demonized and form the theory of ghosts and gods. ”

I don't say anything about Zhou Lao's words, whether there are really ghosts and gods, or just local customs and taboos, no one knows. But there is one point, this deep mountain and old forest is indeed more dangerous than outside, after all, this place is deserted, and the yin qi is much heavier than outside.

Climbing the mountain was boring, so I smiled and said to Zhou Lao: "You tell us one, and see what this temple mountain is said to be by the locals." ”

Yi Bufan and Lin Wenjing also shouted that they wanted to hear the story, and Zhou Lao saw that everyone was very curious, so he told us about it. He said: "Do you know, the locals say that this temple hill was fought in ancient times, and many people died, and I heard that a valley at that time was full of corpses that died in battle. After the death, there are many strange things, and generally no one dares to come to Temple Mountain anymore, and it is said that the lonely souls and wild ghosts who died in the war will come out at night to breathe, and the haunting is terrible, alas, the locals here are superstitious, and then they dare not come. ”

Ever died so many people? Hearing this, I frowned, because only I knew that if it was true, there were hundreds or thousands of dead souls, then haunting was not unusual, and perhaps haunting was light.

Thinking of this, I was even more curious, and found that Zhou Lao knew more about Temple Mountain than Wang Quan, so I asked Zhou Lao: "Why is it haunted?" Isn't it true that the locals are afraid to enter the mountain, and no one can know about the haunting? ”
