In the pine forest in the north of Futu Mountains, the early morning sun shines through the clouds in the mountains, and it is still humid and hot.

A group of six of us came to the border weir before the forbidden land again, and each of us drank two sips of realgar wine, and also applied some to their bodies, and also had a few pieces of realgar in their pockets.

In addition to Chen Jixian and Mr. Chang, the other two survivors of the delegation are named Zhu Yaoguang and Wang Cong, who are two years older than me and Huzi.

I looked at the huge cave in the forbidden land, turned to Huzi and said, "Huzi, you stay outside, in case there is anything inside, you can take care of us." ”

Before Huzi could speak, Mr. Chang said: "Well, yes, Brother Huzi is more familiar with the mountains, so it's better to stay outside to pick us up, in case we have a three-long and two-short, we have to have a strong body to collect the body, right?" ”

Everyone laughed, and Huzi scratched his head and said, "Okay, I'll wait outside, if you have anything, you must give a signal." ”

The five of us stepped into the open space in front of the forbidden land, I stood in the middle of the clearing, Huang Yan'er was chased here by me Li Fugui more than a month ago, he did not come out after we left that night, but turned around and walked into the depths of the forbidden land.

The clearing in front of the forbidden land was large, but there were thorn bushes on both sides, and there was no way into it.

There was a faint whistling mountain wind in the huge cave in front of us, and the five of us stood at the door of the cave, not feeling the novelty of facing a prehistoric civilization, but like a group of small species, about to open the dark gate of the underworld.

The cave was extremely dark, even in broad daylight, he could only see more than ten meters deep in the cave, Chen Jixian took the lead in walking forward, took a strong flashlight and looked inside, he took a few steps back, and then looked overhead.

"The rock wall in front of this mountain doesn't look very difficult to climb, you wait for me below, I'll go up and have a look." Chen Jixian said.

"Chief, I'm with you." Zhu Yaoguang of the delegation said.

"No, you wait here." Chen Jixian said and took out the mountain-climbing equipment, his hands and feet were wearing special metal hooks, as long as there was a little bulge on the rock wall, he could firmly grasp it.

The mountain in this forbidden place looks seventy or eighty meters high, Chen Jixian's physical strength is amazing, he climbed to the top in three or five minutes, he stood on the top of the mountain and turned his head to us below to make an OK movement, and then walked from the top of the mountain to the depths.

We waited for a while in front of the forbidden cave below, but we didn't see Chen Ji come out first, and we couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Wang Cong, a member of the inspection team, looked at his watch and said, "Why haven't you come back after going for more than half an hour, or I'll go up and have a look?" ”

I said, "Captain Chen is not a reckless person, he must have thought that we were waiting here anxiously, and if he didn't come back in a while, I would go up with you." ”

Everyone nodded, Zhu Yaoguang looked at the watch on Wang Cong's wrist, and then looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Why are the two of us at different times." ”

Mr. Chang also looked at the watch on his wrist, and the time on his watch was about the same as that on Wang Cong's.

Wang Cong said: "There is a strong magnetic field in this forbidden land, electronic communication equipment cannot be used, and the impact of mechanical watches is slightly smaller. ”

We waited at the mouth of the cave for a while, but there was still no movement on the mountain above us.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of human footsteps from inside the cave, we immediately cheered up and retreated, a strong light shot out, and Chen Jixian's voice came: "I finally saw you." ”

"Boss, how did you come out of it?" Zhu Yaoguang asked.

Chen Jixian said: "This mountain looks like a city wall, I walked to the other side and went down the sling, I just saw a cave, it is estimated that it leads to the outside, so I walked for a while, I didn't expect it to really come out, you will be surprised to see the things inside." ”

We are also curious, since Chen Jixian is fine when he comes out of it, this cave does not seem to be in any danger.

We followed Chen Jixian into the cave, although the cave was cold, the space inside was very large.

Wang Cong, who was following me, suddenly screamed at this time, and we looked back at him, and he pointed to the top of his head in horror, where the flashlight shone, and the cave was covered with a dense layer of bats.

A few bats croaked a few times under the light, fluttering their wings, and I quickly covered his flashlight and motioned for everyone to hurry up.

After walking for a while, we faintly heard the sound of the wind, and when we quickened our pace to walk out of the cave, the wind from the pavement gave us a sense of novelty from the dark world to the light.

And what makes us even more emotional is the scene we see in front of us.

It is a huge place surrounded by mountains, the ground is covered with moss and dwarf weeds, as if someone had built it, and in the center of the mountain is a pagoda surrounded by eight chains, sixty or seventy meters high, and the surface is all patina and moss.

Everything inside the mountain was covered with a layer of moss, and the pagoda was facing us with an iron gate half-hidden.

On the edges and corners of each layer of the pagoda, there is a chain hanging down, although most of the chains have been broken, but it does not hide the precision and glory of the year.

Mr. Chang looked at the pagoda and said happily: "This is the third Futu pagoda, right?!" ”

In the county annals of Futu Ridge, it was recorded that three monks came to Futu Ridge and established a Futu pagoda on the east, west and north sides respectively, and the two pagodas outside the forbidden land have long been turned into ruins under the time of change, but the Futu pagoda in the forbidden land has been preserved intact.

Mr. Chang looked around the iron chain around the periphery of the Futuling Pagoda, and then took out the compass, this compass could not be used in the forbidden land, and the direction pointed by the pointer would deviate wrongly, but Mr. Chang did not look at the pointer, but began to calculate the pattern of this place according to the eight trigrams engraved on the compass and the Feng Shui symbols of the heavenly stems and the branches of the earth.

Mr. Chang raised his head and said: "This pagoda is indeed built on the topography of Longbao Mountain, but this Futu pagoda is a bit weird, and I can't tell where the blame is." ”

Wang Cong said: "Leader Guo and Jiang Cheng don't know what's going on, there is no trace of a fight here, and there is no corpse on the road when they came, what did Xiaowei and Lao Zheng encounter that night?" ”

Chen Jixian said: "We can't see the reason during the day, maybe it will be different at night, the night is heavy, the sun is so strong during the day, it can also shine into the valley of the forbidden land, Guo Leader and Jiang Cheng will not get into this deserted tower, let's go forward and see." ”

Chen Jixian said and went around the Futu Pagoda and continued to walk inside, this canyon is surrounded by unattainable moats on both sides, Mr. Chang walked at the end, he kept looking back at the valley where the Futu Pagoda was located, and his expression became more and more confused.

No one knows the size of the forbidden land, and no one knows where it leads, and the north of the entire Futu Ridge is a mountain forest that no one has ever visited, and the vegetation inside is densely grown, and there are thorn bushes everywhere that it is impossible to walk.

I looked up at the top of my head on both sides of the moat, the day and night may be different, but at night the moonlight will be blocked by the mountain walls on both sides, and it will be dark at that time, and we must rush back to the outside of the forbidden land before night falls.

We walked along the road in the canyon for a long time, and Zhu Yaoguang suddenly ran to the front and picked up a red thing on the ground and said, "This is the head flower of Xiao Weiza's hair, why is it here?" ”

Chen Jixian looked at the head flower in Zhu Yaoguang's hand, then squatted down and looked at the mottled footprints on the ground and said: "It hasn't rained in Futu Ridge these days, and the footprints in both directions are faintly visible, but the steps back are obviously much larger than the steps when they went, indicating that they were running when they came back, and Xiaowei's head flower should have fallen at that time." ”

Wang Cong said: "So, what danger did they encounter at the end of this canyon? ”

"Just go and see, according to the time, the forbidden place they entered after midnight that night, ran out after four o'clock, it took four hours from coming in to going out, and it was almost three hours since we walked in, and the place where they encountered strange things should not be far away."

After Chen Jixian finished speaking, he walked forward quickly, and I glanced at the messy footprints on the ground, one of which was very small, looking like a child's footprints.

A few minutes later, the wind in the canyon suddenly became stronger, and I faintly smelled a foul odor coming from the end of the canyon.

At the end of the canyon was a wilderness, with vegetation taller than a human being, blocking our view, and strangely enough, all the vegetation was so dry that it was out of shape.

"It's still summer, and it's strange that all these flowers and trees are dying." I said.

There was a sense of panic in everyone's hearts, and the closer they got to the truth, the closer they were to danger.

"The vegetation here has traces after being trampled, Liu Wei and Lao Zheng must have found something to chase here." Zhu Yaoguang said and walked forward.

We followed quickly, and when we pushed back the dry grass, we found ourselves standing on a slightly higher hillside, and in the vast expanse below the hillside we saw village after village.
