All Chapters_Chapter 16: Fear

I looked ahead in a daze, feeling a little incredible.

Because after I stepped out of the path, what appeared in front of me was a majestic and tall mountain, the mountain was steep, undulating and unsightly.

If it's just an ordinary mountain, after all, Xichuan has many mountains, which is not unusual. But this mountain is different, and on its criss-crossed mountains, there is a huge complex of buildings.

These buildings are basically ancient castles and watchtowers, they are built by the mountain, climb the rock, build the stone for the house, the high one is more than ten zhang, look at it from afar, it is magnificent.

I was stunned to see the huge complex of buildings in the distance, and I was very struck by the fact that these buildings were full of strong alien atmosphere, which I had never seen before.

I don't know why the ancestors of the Chen family let me in, could it be that this complex in front of me is a plan left by them? I didn't understand the purpose of my ancestors, so I could only walk forward towards the building, and I guess that maybe there would be the answer to all the questions inside.

As I got closer and closer to that ancient complex, my heart became more and more depressed, even though I was only a ten-year-old child, I could still sense the strangeness of this place.

The mountains not far away are winding and undulating, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, which is very spectacular. But from afar it looked desolate and desolate, and there was no grass, no trees, not a trace of greenery, all bare stones and loess. There is a huge ravine that curves down the mountain, and it is full of countless yellow sand, which seems to be a dry river.

Except for the sound of my own breathing and footsteps, I didn't hear any sound of life, no insects, no birds, not even a trace of wind, it was a dead silence like a forbidden area of life.

I was suddenly a little scared, and I stopped, not daring to move forward. This is the first time I have come out to do things independently, and it is also a major event related to the fate of my Chen family, my grandfather and my father are not by my side, I have no support at the moment, my heart is very frightened, I look at the ancient building in front of me, in my eyes, it is like a giant beast with a big mouth open, waiting for me to enter and then devour.

I gritted my teeth, thinking of my grandfather's expectant gaze, and I felt a little more motivated. I shook off my legs and ran towards the building, trying to alleviate my fear with the speed of running.

As I climbed a small hill, I felt a burning sensation in my left shoulder, which seemed to be the place where the phoenix's imprint was. As I got closer to the ancient complex, the burning sensation became more and more obvious, and at the end it even made me feel a little tingling.

I was scared and reached into my clothes to touch my left shoulder, but it was surprisingly cold and unusual, but the burning sensation that spread from my left shoulder was real, and it seemed to be intensifying from the inside out.

Eventually, I felt like my whole body was hot, my head was a little dizzy, and my eyes were swollen and painful. I sat on the floor, gasping for air, my chest was tight, my whole body was hot, and for a moment, I felt like I was going to die.

But fortunately, the painful feeling of wanting to die quickly subsided, the body temperature gradually returned to normal, the eyes did not rise, the head did not dizzy, it seemed that everything just now was just a dream.

I got up from the ground and was ready to move on, but soon I stopped, and I looked around with wide eyes and a look of incredulity.

Not far away, the originally bare stone mountain now looks like a piece of green, green pines and cypresses, lush, from time to time there are birds flying out of the forest, flocks, birdsong in the ears constantly echoing. And the ravine that originally meandered down from the mountain has now turned into a crystal clear stream, and you can still see small fish swimming with their tails in the stream when you widen your eyes.

What the hell is going on with my ancestors? Was what I was seeing in front of me an illusion, or was the dead silence I just saw an illusion?

I felt like my head was running out at this moment, and it only took a few minutes before and after, how could there be such a drastic change all of a sudden.

I don't know exactly what's going on, but I have a vague feeling that it has something to do with the burning pain I just felt.

Just as I was thinking about it as I walked forward, there was a sudden sound of words in front of me, and I suddenly had a spirit, and I looked up, and the direction of the sound source seemed to be the building complex in front of me.

Someone!

I was happy in my heart, I was fed up with this strange and strange place, and I was quite scared. Now that I heard someone talking in front of me, I took two legs and ran forward.

Soon, when I climbed a hillside, the huge and spectacular complex appeared in front of my eyes, the first thing that caught my eye was two towering watchtowers, these two watchtowers were built with ashlar and rammed earth, nearly ten meters high, the edge of the two watchtowers also had a long earthen fence to surround the whole complex, in the middle of the two watchtowers there was a huge wooden door, at this moment the wooden door was open, a few men were standing at the door chatting.

I saw that the men were dressed in extremely strange costumes, they were dressed in blue robes, with leggings wrapped around their feet, and strange felt hats on their heads, and they seemed to be talking about something important at the moment, and two of them looked excited, and their hands were constantly gesturing with something, and their mouths were constantly speaking a very awkward, strange tone.

I listened with my ears straight, and found that I couldn't understand what they were saying, and with the strange costumes they were wearing and the strangely shaped castle towers behind them, I guessed that they must be some ethnic minority tribe living in seclusion here, but I don't know which one they were.

Isn't this where all the secrets of our Chen family lie? How could it become a place inhabited by ethnic minorities, and besides, the white feather guarding outside is so terrifying, aren't these people afraid of living here?

Why did my grandfather say all the answers were in this? What kind of situation did the ancestors of the Chen family lay out here, and they had to wait until more than 300 years later to let the children with the phoenix bird mark in? And since Chen Shengzhi's ancestor was so powerful back then, why didn't he cut off the white snake and let it turn into a white snake instead? And the naked woman in the white coffin, with a strange bronze mask......

My mind was a mess, and I felt like I was going to explode.

After a while, when I had finally calmed down and felt a little more comfortable, I walked up to the men and asked them, "Uncle, may I ask what kind of place is this?" ”

However, I was a little embarrassed that the men ignored me and talked to themselves, and one of the men with a mole on his face hugged his stomach and laughed as if he had heard some joke.

it!

I scolded in my heart, and then raised my voice and said, "Hello, I'm from the Chen family, and my grandfather asked me to come over!" ”

Yet the men ignored me as if I were a cloud of air, and they didn't even look at me, and continued to speak their strange language.

They can't understand Chinese, right?

I thought to myself, seeing that those people ignored me, I also got angry, and directly raised my feet and walked into the wooden door, while I also looked at their reactions with open eyes, and as a result, these people really took me as air, and no matter what kind of behavior I did, they ignored me.

Inside the wooden door were countless houses made of earth, stone and wood, which were scattered and intersected, and countless paths stretched out from each other to unknown places.

There were many people walking back and forth on the path, but all of them, young and old, were dressed in strange blue robes with strange embroidered patterns. The women were also wrapped in cyan headscarves on their heads, and they looked very exotic.

This is their national costume, right?

I was about to ask someone another question what this place was, but before I could speak, a big man came straight to me, he was majestic and imposing, and he swaggered towards me, as if he didn't see me, and he wouldn't let me go.

I saw that he didn't mean to let me, and hurriedly hid to the side, and the man walked past me in a daze, and like the men at the door, he didn't even look at me from beginning to end.

I had a bad feeling in my heart, it seemed that not only those men, but all the people in this village seemed to have not noticed me, my dress was obviously so prominent in this village, and the dress was completely different from theirs, according to common sense, this situation should not be at all!

I had cold sweat on my forehead and my heart beating a little faster.

I saw a woman with a basket walking towards me across from me, with a smile on her face and a look like she was going to be a good deal. I hurriedly greeted him and shouted, "Sister, may I ask ......?"

Before I could finish speaking, the woman passed through my body, and it passed through my body so naturally, and I didn't feel anything strange.

I turned my head in horror to find that the woman was walking away with the basket.

Is this a ghost?

So she's a ghost? Or am I a ghost?

The clothes on my back were soaked with sweat, my hands and feet were cold, and my legs were weak. Seeing the people walking around me, I gritted my heart and rushed towards them with my eyes closed.

Bang!

A rock on the ground stumbled over me, I looked up and looked around in horror, just as a little child jumped up and down, I didn't hide, just watched him pass through my body.

I fell, and my body hurt, but I couldn't hide the fear that came from the depths of my soul. This fear of the unknown finally broke the last strength in my heart, and I let out a terrible scream at the sky......
