"Strange stuff? What's weird? The village chief was puzzled.

The third uncle said: "For example, human heads, or bones full of pits, hideous statues. ”

The village chief frowned and thought for a while, and said: "In the early years, there was a collapse in the mountains near the village, and sometimes some strange things would collapse, most of them were dead people's bones, and some bottles and cans were collected by us and buried together. The most terrifying one was about 60 years ago, when it rained heavily for more than half a month, and a small half of the Hangzi Mountain collapsed, and a big hole collapsed. By the way, just a few days ago, more than 100 heads collapsed on the hill in front of me! ”

As soon as I heard it, it was about the landslide we had encountered when we came. The third uncle asked, "Is there an ancient tomb around here?" ”

The village chief smiled: "I've never heard of it. Hey, in this deep mountainous area, who would choose the cemetery here! He said half a while, and suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands, and said, "Speaking of statues, I remember." There is a statue in our village, which is ancestral. ”

As soon as the third uncle heard this, he asked the village chief to take us to have a look. The dead face had been looking at the strange forest sea, and he didn't know what he saw. We had taken a few steps before he followed.

The village elder led us to the entrance of the village, it was late when we came yesterday, and we came in in a hurry, so we didn't look carefully. Today, I see that there is a big banyan tree planted at the entrance of this village, and I don't know how many years it has been. Under the ancient banyan tree, there are two black stone statues more than two people high.

The statue had wings, a wide nose and teeth, a hideous face, a pair of horns on its head, and a whip-like tail behind it.

The third uncle and the dead man looked up at the statue with their faces up, I looked at it for a while, turned to the back of the statue, and saw two lines of fine words engraved on the base: "Offer to me, bless Funing." "The writing is so small and hidden that if you don't look closely, you really can't detect it. I can't help but feel a little weird, it stands to reason that the folk worship is either the land of the God of Wealth, or the Buddha Guanyin, or the statue of the ancestor sage, and I have never seen such a monster worshiped with incense. This thing looks vicious, but it's more evil.

The village elder told us on the side that the statues were the sacred beasts of Maobi Village, and they had been guarding the entrance of the village to bless the village with good weather and freedom from demons. I thought to myself that the customs of this village were peculiar, and there were people who worshipped sacred beasts, so I asked the village chief what the origin of this sacred beast was, and I had never seen it in the book.

The village chief smiled and said, "Speaking of these two guardian gods, it's still the credit of your Bai family. "This little old man really regards me as a descendant of Baimei.

About 100 years ago, there was a ground dragon turning around the village of Maobi. The so-called earth dragon turned over, which is now called an earthquake. At that time, the whole mountain range was hula, but fortunately, with the blessing of the ancestors, Maobi Village survived this earth dragon turnover.

But after the natural disaster, there was an evil disaster. For some reason, all kinds of strange insects and big black birds that have never been seen before appeared around the originally peaceful and peaceful Maobi Village, which flew into the village and looted the crops and poultry, and sometimes even ate people.

At that time, the Bai family organized the villagers, went into the giant ditch, transported the two statues of the divine beasts from a cave, pushed them back with a cart, and guarded them at the entrance of the village. Since these two divine beasts were in charge, those strange things never dared to approach the village again, so that Maobi Village finally survived the evil disaster.

So until now, the people in the village are very grateful to these two statues, and they continue to burn incense every year, and never forget to worship the incense. And the divine beast has always blessed the village, and over the years, there has really been no major disaster in the village.

It turns out that these two statues are also related to the Bai family, which is really mysterious and foggy.

While talking, the three daughters of the village chief's family came to the village entrance and called us to eat, and then pinched my face and asked me how I slept last night. How dare I say it's bad, of course I nodded vigorously.

Several people walked towards the village together. When the road was empty, I pulled the third uncle, lagged behind, and asked him in a low voice if he saw anything. The third uncle's face was solemn, he changed his usual laziness, and said worriedly: "Damn, this time the transaction will be lost to grandma's house!" ”

I was startled and said, "Are we going to get ready to slip away?" ”

The third uncle glared at me: "Do you have any professional ethics?" He frowned and explained, "Cheer up, we're ready to run away at any time!" ”

I'm speechless too. However, I understand the principle of "staying in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood", so I firmly support the third uncle's proposal. If you can't do it, you can escape, everything is to save your life! In our line of work, the most common thing to deal with is all kinds of dead people and ghosts, and most of them are the kind of evil things that kill people.

I asked, "What's going on with that giant ditch?" Give me a thorough explanation, don't fool me about this. ”

The third uncle glanced at me, and his face was very strange: "This place ...... It looks like a burial ...... from the layout."

I was taken aback and said, "Even though I don't learn well about tombs, don't lie to me!" How could that large forest be a burial ground? Wait, you mean there's an ancient tomb down there? Who has enough to eat and has nothing to do, so that the grave can be repaired here? ”

The third uncle shook his head, he didn't speak for a long time, I urged, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not an ordinary tomb, but it should be buried something." Look at the ghost head pit that collapsed out of the mountain in front of you, and the eight achievements are the tomb of this thing group. ”

I took a breath of cold air, the mountain we passed through before was nearly a hundred miles away from here, if it was only one of the layouts, how big was the scope of this tomb?

I asked the third uncle if he had seen what was buried in the Hall of Names. The third uncle said that he didn't know either. I thought of the huge human figure that faintly appeared in the reckless forest, and I couldn't help but chill all over.

After going back to eat and clean up, I set off for Dogtooth Valley. This time, the main thing is to explore the road first, so there are not many people who go, there are the village chief, the third uncle, the dead face and Liu Wenchong, and I, as the only descendant of the Bai family, naturally want to go with me.

The group set out in the morning and walked along the winding mountain road until the afternoon, when they passed through a steep canyon, and the village chief pointed ahead and said, "The valley of dogs has arrived." ”

I stretched out my head behind me, and saw a valley in front of me, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the ground formed a concave shape, which looked like a big open mouth, and looked eerie inside. All the way in, the mountain cliff is steep, the ancient trees cover the sky, almost no sunlight, the humidity is steaming, the cold is pressing, the ravines on the ground are criss-crossed, covered by the branches and weeds that grow out of the wild, the danger is abnormal, and it is possible to fall down if you don't notice a step.

These ravines are filled with sharp white stones, like the sharp teeth of wild beasts, no wonder they are called Dogtooth Valley.

The village chief held a straw beating stick, and while beating the grass to explore the way, he turned around and said: "I also know that the Bai family entered the Dogtooth Valley, and I don't know where it is." ”

Luckily, the valley was not very large, and as it was near evening, we found a cave in the heart of the valley. More precisely, this is a stone cave hidden in a cliff wall, the cliff wall is tangled with vines, wild trees, and the entrance of the cave is extremely secret. The dead man's eyes were really poisonous, and he didn't know how he found them.

The cave had not been visited for many years, and had been hidden by tangled vines. Fortunately, when he came, the village chief prepared a woodcutter and cut the rattan that stood in the way, so that the group could enter.

The cave is dry, but it is better than the air conditioning outside, and the height of the cave is close to two meters, allowing two people to advance at the same time. The village elder was a little frightened, and he didn't dare to enter the cave entrance. The dead man's face was silent, and he led the way in. The third uncle was the second to follow, followed by me, and finally Liu Wenchong and the village chief.

After walking ten or so steps, I felt that there was something strange, we did not have flashlights or other lighting, but there was light in the cave, and the scenery in the cave was still faintly visible. After walking further in, I saw a bright light in front of me. After walking a few more steps, I found that the cave, which was originally only two meters high, suddenly began to rise, and when the light came out, a large space appeared. The top of the cave is very high, I am afraid that it will not be less than 20 meters, the top of the cave opens a hole, and the sky light shines in from the mouth, and the bottom of the cave is illuminated clearly.

On the rock wall on the southwest side, we find a stone chamber, not so much a stone chamber, but a burial chamber. As soon as we entered, the village chief and Liu Wenchong, who were following behind, were so frightened that they let out an "ah" and saw a coffin inside.

This stone room is not big, about five or six meters in circumference, one and a half people high, and can probably accommodate more than ten people. There are marks of chopping on the stone wall, apparently artificially carved out with knives and axes, and several huge charms are drawn, the color of which is as bright as blood, presumably painted by cinnabar, from the roof to the ground.

The strangest house I've ever seen before was the haunted house with the dead man's face, the whole house was made of cinnabar clay, and I couldn't help but peek at the guy, and when I saw that this person was expressionless, I couldn't see why.

"This ...... How can there be a coffin here......" The village elder was a little at a loss, and Liu Wenchong was also a little afraid and didn't dare to step forward.

But I didn't have these scruples, and when I approached, I recognized at a glance that this was not an ordinary coffin, but a coffin, parked in the middle of the stone chamber. I was about to get closer and take a closer look, when I heard the third uncle shout: "Don't step on the nails on the ground!" ”

I stopped, and saw a nail under my feet, and three inches beside it, there was a finger-thick hole in the ground. Compare the thickness of the nail to know that it should be a nail hole. This nail was originally driven there, and I don't know why it jumped out.

Looking to the left and right from the nail hole, a nail is driven into the ground every two palms apart, forming a large circle around the coffin. It's kind of like our house's copper coin, but with nails.
