Next to the roots of the tree knocked down by the bear, there is a half-cut stone statue buried in the soil, resulting in a rare tiger head beast face, the head of the beast is human, there is a helmet on the head, both hands hold a stone axe decorated with a human head, the bearing is extraordinary, but the face is very hideous, the swallow sees the stone statue of the tiger head and the human body, immediately thinks of an ancient legend in the mountain, and does not care about cleaning up the bear skin and bear meat, and said to us in surprise: "That seems to be the stone statue of the mountain ghost, this forest is probably the ghost yamen in the mountain, let's run away." ”

The legend of "Ghost Yamen" has been spread for many years in the dense forest at the westernmost end of the Great Khing'an Mountains, according to legend, it is a secret entrance of the Yama Hall in the Yang, there are hunters who are lost in the mountains, once they strayed into the "Ghost Yamen", they will unconsciously go into the netherworld, become a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, and will never return to the Yang world, but in the past 100 years, few people can see it again.

The biggest feature of the "Ghost Yamen" is that there is a tiger-headed mountain ghost guarding in front of the door, of course, the legend in this mountain started from which dynasty and which generation, no one can verify it, just enter the "Ghost Yamen" to walk the ghost of the Yama Palace, listening to it makes people frightened from the bottom of their hearts, plus the hunters are born with a kind of awe of the mountain, so the swallow panicked, just want to urge us to leave quickly.

The fat man and I have both heard that legend, and I also know that it is not advisable to stay for a long time, but I am not so frightened by a stone statue of a tiger's head and a human body, I casually comforted the swallow a few words, what "ghost yamen"? It's all the poison of feudal society, how can we be afraid of these? But in my heart, I was thinking at the same time, I must first sort out the situation in front of me before making plans.

The bear cave is a semi-enclosed natural cave under the dead tree, just because the man and bear just chased and pounced on people, uprooted a hindering red pine, the red pine happened to be born near the side of the bear hole, the root of the tree pulled and collapsed the underground soil, only to reveal a stone beast that was half submerged in the soil, as for what Hutou Mountain ghost guards the nonsense of the "ghost yamen", I don't believe it, in my opinion, the warrior stone figurines with the tiger head and the human body are very likely to be the statues used in front of the ancient tomb to town the tomb, but at that time I was still shallow about the five elements of feng shui and the layout of the mausoleum. I don't dare to assert this, but I am curious, since I have found these strange-shaped stone men and stone beasts, if I don't take the opportunity to explore this strangeness, what is the interest?

I persuaded Yanzi not to rush back to the forest farm, it is better to go over there to find out where the "ghost yamen" is, to see the direction of the tiger head stone figurines placed, if there are ancestral temples and tombs in the mountains, it should be roughly on the "Huangpizi Tomb", the ancient magnetic bowls and golden beans poured out by the yellow pizi may be obtained from the so-called "ghost yamen", if we can find those treasures, it will make a great contribution to supporting the world revolution.

Yanzi stomped his feet and said: "Don't talk about calves, I don't guard the forest farm, I sneaked out to hunt bears in the mountains with you, I have already made a mistake, and I will inevitably let the old branch secretary criticize him when I go back, and I want to do something else, so how can I explain to the old branch secretary?" ”

The fat man was worried about the gold in his heart, and he also helped me to talk about the swallow together, and the two of us said to the swallow: "Sister swallow, don't you be so afraid of the old branch secretary?" No matter how big his position is, he is just having the final say in the tunzi, and we are not making any mistakes, we are now supporting the world revolution, although guarding the forest farm is our job, but you must not forget that the supreme instruction is not to suppress the revolution with production, in the face of the torrent of revolutionary struggle, the work has to be thrown aside, and the words of the branch secretary are not good, what does he like, what are you hesitating about? Don't forget that this is the last struggle, and the iron must be struck while it is hot to succeed, and the red flag will be planted all over the world when it is too late, and there will be no hurry. ”

We can talk about the outline, Yanzi was speechless, she was confused when she listened, and simply put her heart sideways, so what do you love, so we immediately started, threw down the bear skin and bear meat and stopped caring for the time being, only wrapped in bear paws and bear bile with him, the fat man suddenly remembered, where did the wooden cage of "Huang Xiangu" go? Just now, the man and bear fell from the tree, and broke a large piece of red pine, all of which smashed on the grass nest where we stayed, and we were just trying to dodge and escape, and threw the wooden cage in the confusion, and now we really don't remember. Although the yellow skin is small, there are two taels of meat, not to mention that the "Huang Xiangu" has smooth skin and hair, not to mention that it can be exchanged for ten catties of fruit candy, and it is a little reluctant to lose it.

Looking around the broken red pine, I found that the wooden cage had already been smashed apart by the pine branches, and the cage was empty.

I remember that the hind legs of "Huang Xiangu" were firmly tied by the wire, even if the cage was broken, it was impossible for it to break free from the shackles of the wire, at most it used two front paws to climb out and escape, the yellow skin ran and jumped all rely on the hind limbs to give force, so it was impossible for it to escape too far, thinking of me hurriedly looked up to look around, in addition to the messy footprints on the snow when we fought with people and bears, there was really a rough mark of detachment, "Huang Xiangu" must have escaped along here, follow this trace, At a glance, I saw a furry thing crawling desperately next to the tiger-headed human stone figurine, it was the "Yellow Fairy Gu" who had escaped from the squirrel cage.

We saw that it did not flee far, immediately came to the spirit, a gust of wind chased up, only to see that "Huang Xiangu" was with two front paws, to the direction of the yellow skin grave crawling hard, it found that someone was chasing from behind, so it went into a hole next to the stone figurines and disappeared.

We chased over to see, it turned out that there was a tunnel at the foot of the figurines of the ghost of Hutou Mountain, the water and soil had changed over time, and it had been covered with mud and pine branches, and as soon as the ancient pine on it fell, the tunnel revealed a small gap, and the black throat inside could not see anything clearly, and "Huang Xiangu" escaped into this small gap.

The fat man angrily kicked the mud wall on the edge of the hole with his foot, and before he kicked it a few times, the earth of the tunnel wall was kicked down, and in the pit left after the rhizomes of the ancient trees were pulled out, a large hole was revealed, and a yin wind came out of it, blowing on the faces of the people, and it seemed that the air was smooth, and there must be another outlet at the far end.

Even the fat man didn't expect this earthen wall to be so unbearable, I quickly stopped him, it seems that the deep hole at the mouth of this hole is not a tunnel, but a working path dug between the mud and rocks, which is not solid, and may collapse at any time, and I don't know where it leads, so I quickly found some pine branches and lit a few torches to illuminate, and drilled into the black hole behind the hole to explore.

The hole is very narrow, and it is possible to crawl and crawl to move forward, but we are reluctant to wear out the sleeves, so we can only probe the torch diagonally in front, and then the cat's waist squats forward a little bit, and shines with the firelight, and finds that there are still traces of sharp weapons on the four walls of the cave.

We don't know where the tide leads to the cold swishing hole, my heart is very puzzled, my grandfather was a feng shui gentleman, because he knew how to find the dragon secret art, in the province quite famous, made a lot of friends with the yin and yang feng shui magicians, those people are also engaged in the "inverted bucket" of the tomb robbers, from him I learned that the most powerful of the tomb robbers is the "touch the gold captain", "touch the gold school captain" can look out of the mountain shape to investigate the leylines, divide the gold and set the point to smash the yellow dragon, the so-called "straight smash the yellow dragon" is to dig a secret and accurate tunnel simple, Bypassing the copper wall and iron coffin, through the golden well, through the burial chamber where the secret weapon is hidden, perhaps the hole we are drilling now is a treasure thief tunnel dug by tomb robbers.

However, I quickly denied this possibility, the mud cave is narrow and short, starting from the foot of the tiger's head stone figurines, and it will come to the end after more than ten meters, but there is not a tomb containing ancient corpses and secret treasures, but a rather ancient bluestone door buried in the soil, which seems to have a flying eaves and bucket arches, but the hole in the ground only digs out a part of the stone door, and it is impossible to carefully distinguish it for a while. The stone door is divided into two, half open and half closed, Nakami left a large door gap, there is a stone pillar on each side of the confrontation, there are ancient dragon patterns and sun and moon elephants, has been stripped away, this at least shows that the stone building in the cave was once stored on the ground, after perennial wind, rain, sun and other natural factors erosion, will become like this.

The fat man and I both guessed that this was probably an ancient shrine, which was buried in the soil under the geological action, and even the pine trees on it grew so thick, and I don't know what year and month it was. If there is anything good after entering, it will come out, and if there is nothing, he will brush two slogans, and when the four old ones are broken.

Yanzi said that this designation is the "Ghost Yamen", and the eight achievements behind the door are the Yama Hall of the underworld, let's go back and forth, no matter what is in it, don't go in. I said to Yanzi: "This hole is so short, and there is no other exit, Huang Xiangu must have gotten into this stone gate, let's go in and catch it and come back, if you can't catch it last night, wouldn't it be a waste of time, and you can't change the fruit candy, don't you want to eat sugar?" ”

Yanzi swallowed his saliva: "Why don't you want to eat sugar, in fact, fruit candy is not as delicious as the milk candy brought by the educated youths from the city......" The fat man was anxious to capture "Huang Xiangu", and before I could do the swallow's ideological work, he squeezed past us, and rushed into the stone gate first, I was afraid that there would be any unexpected danger inside, and I was worried that the fat man would be alone, so I beckoned Yanzi to follow him quickly.

The light of the torches flickered and dimmed due to our rapid movement, and when the light and darkness met, I could see that there was no dirt behind the door, it was a rather spacious stone hall, with stone pillars and stone tables in the hall, and the clay statues of the gods on both sides were lying horizontally and vertically, and the corners were full of thick cobwebs and ashes.

The three of them came in at the same time, the movement was not small, I don't know who rubbed some dust, choked us and coughed, it was easy for the dust to settle, and when we looked at each other, the other party was a very wolf bèi.

When the fat man drilled through the tunnel a few meters long just now, because the hole was low and narrow, squatting his legs and feet were sore, and then he entered the stone hall at least to relax his muscles and invigorate his blood, and quickly stretched out his arms and kicked his legs, and found that his dogskin hat had a large piece of ash on it, and there was a log pier like a stump near the door, so he took off his hat and dusted it twice on the wooden pier, and then sat on it with his butt, and said to me: "I will be a husband with this block, and the little yellow skin can't grow wings and fly, Lao Hu, you go everywhere to search and see where it is hidden, and take it out so that I can skin it alive, but I see that this big house seems to have a back door, and it is troublesome for it to go through the back door, so Yanzi should go to the back door to guard ......"

Since I entered the strange stone hall, I am full of curiosity about all kinds of things inside, I have long left the matter of arresting "Huang Xiangu" behind, I was reminded by the fat man to remember, I was about to look for it, but I saw the swallow hurriedly pulled the fat man away from the stump, the swallow said to us: "I told you that you still don't believe it, this is the ghost yamen, everyone in the mountains knows, the tree stump in the forest can not sit, because it is the table of the tiger god, mortals sit to invite disaster, why do you say sit and sit?" ”

The fat man raised his foot and stepped on the wooden pier and said with a smile: "Now that the satellites are in the sky, the atomic bomb has exploded, and the poor have turned over and been liberated. ”

I pushed the fat man away and joked to him: "Don't, the toiling masses can't defecate in the open, and besides, you don't look in the mirror, when has there ever been a fat thief with a fat brain in the ranks of the toiling masses, and you will be exposed when you see your belly, no need to ask, it must be a bad element who has penetrated into our toiling masses." ”

What makes me wonder the most is that this stone hall does not know what it does, especially why there is such a tree stump at the door, if you want to exhaust its secrets, you have to look carefully, so I pushed the fat man who was in the way to the side, squatted down and used a torch to shine, and at a glance, I found that this stump-like wooden pier is really a bright hall, there are quaint lines on it, and many strange symbols that I can't understand, the most peculiar thing is that in the middle of the wooden pier, carved a human figure wearing ancient women's clothes, the human form has no head, but gives birth to a weasel face, The yellow face has a treacherous smile, very hateful, indescribable disgust, that weird expression seems to have an invisible force field to grab people's hearts, so that people suddenly feel that the sweat pores of the whole body reveal a sense of coolness, my heart is not good, this time I am afraid that I have entered the yellow skin's nest.
