They kept staying up like this, and before they knew it, the night had passed, and when the firewood they had collected had been almost used, the sky began to gradually brighten, and they finally let out a long breath, but their eyes were swollen like pandas.

They cheered up and waited for a while to stand up one after another, and by this time the afterglow of the sun had already shone obliquely from the mountains, and the scenery outside the earthen temple was also revealed.

They looked around and walked out, and after making sure that there was no movement around, they helped Wang Mengmeng to walk towards the position of Liao Terminus yesterday, and when they looked around, they saw that a big dirt pit had formed there, and there were two coffins horizontally placed in it, the lid had been opened, and there were small cups specially laid for the dead, as well as thin soft pillows, all of which were brand new as if they had not been used, and they were empty inside, and the corpses did not know where they went.

The morning in the mountains was a little cold, and when I saw the two empty coffins that appeared in the flat ground, several people couldn't help but feel a cool breath rise from the soles of their feet.

Wang Shaoyi looked at the coffin, the doubts in his heart became more and more intense, he squatted, followed and jumped into the pit, looked around around, and found nothing, just wanted to climb out of the pit, suddenly his eyes inadvertently glanced, and suddenly squatted **.

He sniffed with his nose, let out a light "huh", and then went straight down.

Wang Mengmeng and Mr. Liao were standing on the ground, they were a little dazed after staying up late, they didn't react to Wang Shaoyi's movements at once, and when they saw him suddenly lie down again, Wang Mengmeng couldn't help but ask: "Shaoyi, what did you find?" ”

The pit is not big, Wang Shaoyi has occupied most of the space inside, Mr. Liao looked at it and muttered all of a sudden, he walked around and stood at the head of the coffin, and was about to ask, Wang Shaoyi suddenly stood up.

When he stood up, he put his palms together and only his index and middle fingers stood outside, the tips of his fingers were exposed to the sun, and there were a little red stains on them, and a faint smell of blood floated in the air.

Mr. Liao sniffed with his nose, and when he realized what it was, his face suddenly turned pale.

Wang Shaoyi didn't say much, he reached out and wiped the soil on the side with his fingers, and then jumped out of the dirt pit and said: "Let's leave quickly, this coffin will not be buried in this 'Narcissus Temple' for no reason, this must be strange, let's not mix it up." ”

Mr. Liao immediately responded, and then ran back to the earth temple and took out the luggage.

Wang Mengmeng's ankle didn't hurt much anymore, but it was still swollen and tall, so she could only walk by support, and the three of them quickly left the earth temple with their things.

Wang Shaoyi's eyes were sharp, as soon as he walked on the mountain road, he saw that there was something wrong with the weeds on the side of the road, as if they had been pressed by something, and what was even more strange was that there were some scattered animal feathers everywhere, and it was impossible to distinguish between white and black.

The atmosphere around them was very strange, they didn't stop for a moment, and several people didn't speak, just walked down the mountain. When they reached the end of the mountain road, they did not stop, and in less than half an hour they had already passed the hill where the "Narcissus Temple" was.

A few steps further, turning a big bend to the right, they suddenly saw a small village halfway up the mountain, mud houses scattered from bottom to top along the mountain, and a few streams interspersed among them, the mountain people got up early, this will already be a curling smoke, looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance.

Looking at the familiar scenery, Wang Shaoyi's face that had been tense finally eased a little, and he walked forward for a while to a fork in the road, thinking that they hadn't eaten for a day, he was going to take them to breakfast.

But just as the three of them were about to reach the end of the mountain road, a person from Leng Buding walked out from the other side of the road.

Their steps paused, and when they looked up, the person in front of them gave people a sense of detachment and fluttering at first glance.

I saw that the man was about thirty years old, nearly six feet tall, with white cloth socks and boat-shaped "cloud shoes" on his feet, wearing a blue Taoist robe, holding a white whisk, wearing a flat mixed yuan hat, sideburns, and a wooden hairpin.

Wang Shaoyi looked at the Taoist priest who suddenly appeared and was stunned, how could there be a Taoist priest in the early morning in this mountain?

Just as he was thinking, the Taoist priest had already walked up to them, smiled at them, and walked straight in the direction of Narcissus Village.

Wang Shaoyi was stunned for a moment, looking at his appearance, could it be that someone from the village invited him? He couldn't help but look back in the direction of the "Narcissus Temple", and there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

"Shaoyi." Mr. Liao suddenly shouted.

Wang Shaoyi turned his head and saw that Mr. Liao touched his stomach and looked at him, he smiled, and the two of them helped Wang Mengmeng to walk in the direction of Narcissus Village.

Just as they had not walked a few steps, the Taoist priest in front of them suddenly stopped and stood still in place.

Until Wang Shaoyi and the others came to him, the Taoist priest suddenly stretched out his hand, bent his index finger and said: "Immeasurable view, a few brothers, there will be a big disaster here, if there is no big deal, I still want to avoid it." After saying that, he bent down and made a gesture.

Wang Shaoyi was stunned in place, and for a while he felt a sense of confusion, the Taoist priest in front of him was not only dressed, but even the tone of his speech seemed a little out of place with ordinary people. It wasn't until the Taoist priest said "Immeasurable View" again that he reacted, and he also knew some of the rules of the Taoist priest, so he clenched his fist with his right hand, covered his left hand on his right fist, and said with a smile: "Daoist, we haven't eaten for a day, we just went to have breakfast and left." ”

The Taoist priest glanced at Wang Shaoyi, as if he was discerning what he said, and after a while, he also smiled and said: "Immeasurable view, poor Dao sword finger, a few brothers follow me." ”

Wang Shaoyi immediately spread out his right hand and pointed to the road and said, "Sword Finger senior, please." ”

Jian Zhizi also made a "please" gesture, and several people walked towards Narcissus Village together.

Wang Shaoyi helped Wang Mengmeng, but looking at the Taoist priest, he had a special feeling, and he bowed his head slightly after walking for a while.

Mr. Liao told him some of his own experiences in the cemetery of Xiaohe Mountain before: Mr. Liao said that when he met Tang Yu, when Zhao Jie called Tang Yu, who was dressed in a Taoist robe and hairpin, as the Taoist chief, he neither affirmed nor denied, this will be compared, and the difference between them can be clearly felt, so what did the disappeared Tang Yu do? Why did he dress like a Taoist priest?

"The Taoist chief is here~"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of greetings, Wang Shaoyi looked up, and saw that two villagers had come out to greet him at the entrance of the village.

But speaking of which, he's only been here a few times, and it's impossible for everyone to know him.

"Who are these?" When they walked to the entrance of the village, one of the fat villagers suddenly looked at Wang Shaoyi and the three of them who were following behind the sword finger vigilantly.

"These brothers are friends who met halfway through the poor road, they are tired from the night road, and they are hungry and want to come to beg for a bowl of porridge to drink." Jian Zhizi explained at the right time.

"Dao Chief, you know...", the fat villager who spoke before said with some embarrassment.

Wang Shaoyi saw that there was a difficulty, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This eldest brother, I am from Wushan Village, and I have come to the village to spend the night a few times before. ”

"Wushan Village?" The fat villager looked at Wang Shaoyi a few times, suddenly said "Huh", and then said, "I really have some impressions, but I can't remember it clearly." ”

Wang Shaoyi's face was happy.

The fat villager suddenly turned around and said to another villager beside him, "Qiangzi, you take them to my house for breakfast, and I'll take the Taoist chief to the council hall first." ”

After listening to his words, Wang Shaoyi hurriedly thanked him. After the politeness, Wang Shaoyi and the three of them followed the person called Qiangzi.

They walked all the way up the path of the dirt house, and after walking for about five or six minutes, they came to a dirt house with a large open space in front of the house. There was also some millet dried on it.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here." As soon as he reached the clearing, Hadron opened his throat and yelled at the room.

"Coming~" A woman's voice followed, they waited for a while, and then saw a woman coming out of the main gate of the house, and before she looked up, she asked, "Is the Taoist chief coming?" ”

Wang Shaoyi was shocked when she saw the woman.

"No, it's just a few students who came with the Taoist chief, saying they came for breakfast." Qiangzi explained, "There's something else going on over there with the village chief, I'll go over first, sister-in-law, you greet first." ”

"Students?" The woman muttered, and when Qiangzi left, he raised his eyes and saw Wang Shaoyi, his face was also shocked, she seemed to be trying to remember, and then suddenly pointed at Wang Shaoyi and said with a hint of excitement, "Hey, isn't your baby from Wushan Village?" ”

Wang Shaoyi said with a smile: "It's me, sister-in-law, you still remember me." I didn't expect to meet Uncle Gen at the entrance of the village just now, which is really a coincidence. ”

"Haha, how could I not remember, didn't we see Uncle Quan (village chief) last time you spent the night at Uncle Quan (village chief)~ My man, you don't know normal, he usually works in the mountains, this time ......" Sister-in-law Gen said that she wanted to speak and stopped, and then suddenly looked up at Wang Mengmeng, and said with a smile, "Hey, your baby and daughter-in-law have talked about it, come on, Gangqiangzi said that you haven't eaten for a day, come in first, my porridge has just been cooked." ”

Hearing Sister-in-law Gen's words, Wang Shaoyi and Wang Mengmeng couldn't help blushing.

A few of them were immediately taken into the house, because they were really hungry and tired, and they were not polite, and a few of them drank more than half of the porridge porcelain jar, until they were all burped, which caused a burst of laughter from the sister-in-law.

As soon as they were full, they were ready to say goodbye, but the sleepiness was irresistible, and the yawning kept coming, and the sister-in-law saw them and beckoned them to the room to sleep. After a few pushbacks, they couldn't resist the hospitality of the mountain people, and they separated into three rooms, and not long after each of them lay down, they fell asleep one after another.
