We climbed up the hill frantically, behind us a group of corpses with green eyes in hot pursuit, I kept running at the front, my body aching and sore, but I didn't dare to slack off.

I heard Shi Xiaoxue, Ji Zizheng, and An Xiaowu want to stop and rest several times. Wanting to give up the futile struggle, I knew that if I stopped, they would lose all will in an instant, and let countless corpses tear themselves to shreds and trample them into pulp.

My wound began to bleed again, and I ignored the pain, turned back to them and said, "Quick, we will be at the top of the mountain soon." ”

The surrounding trees began to become bare and without leaves. I know we're back in the old black lady's ruined temple.

Ji Zizheng looked at the ruined temple on the top of the mountain, he was very scared, but compared to the group of corpses behind him, he had no choice, even if his mind kept echoing what his grandfather told him back then, don't go near the temple of the old lady black.

When I saw the top of the mountain, I could finally gasp and stop for a moment. My face was pale, there was not a trace of blood, and I was already unconscious in pain.

Song Gang passed by me, pulled me up from my half-kneeling ground, and dragged me to the top of the mountain, he looked at the blood oozing from my chest and frowned.

When we went to the top of the mountain after all the hard work, we were so tired that we couldn't speak, or lay on our stomachs or lay in the open space in front of the temple on the top of the mountain, and took a little rest in a gust of mountain breeze.

"They're coming." I listened to the rustle down the hill, the corpses could run almost tirelessly, and we had lost our strength. "That's not right."

I suddenly felt fear. According to my original plan, when we reached the top of the hill, we could escape from the other side of the hill, but I heard a rumbling sound coming from all directions, and I stood up and looked at the other side of the hill, and saw a dense crowd of corpses like waves of the rising tide.

Countless corpses flocked to us from all directions, and we were surrounded.

"I have a lot of meat, I'm afraid I'll die a little longer than you." An Xiaowu's lips turned white, and he smiled weakly, and he sat on the ground. Put your arms on your knees. I'm so tired that I'm completely out of energy.

A few of us snuggled together, watching the countless corpses around us pour in, did we die like this?

Suddenly, there was a sound in the ruined temple behind us, and we turned around and saw an old black dog coming out of the ruined temple, and this big black dog was Dumb.

An Xiaowu, Song Gang and Shi Xiaoxue were all so frightened that they retreated, but Ji Zizheng stepped forward and touched the head of the big black dog and said, "Dumb, why are you here?" ”

The big black dog turned and walked into the dimly lit ruined temple, where it walked up to the statue of the old black lady and tapped on it with its front paws.

The statue of the old black lady was covered with several layers of cobwebs and thick dust at this time, and I don't know how long no one had come to worship and clean it.

The big black dog looked up at us and said, "Let's go." ”

Yes, a dog was talking to us.

If this would have scared people to death in normal times, but at this time, we are in the ancient temple in the deep mountains, and there are corpses who can really kill people from all directions, and the dog's words are not so terrifying.

I still remember vividly that when Grandma Wu died, the big black dog came out of the crowd, walked in front of Ji Zizheng, rubbed his neck, and I vaguely heard him and Ji Zizheng also said a word: "Go." ”

This shows that the big black dog wants us to leave Miaozi Village from the beginning to the end. At this point, it points to the idol of the old black lady, signaling us to move the idol away.

Seeing that the corpses under the mountain were about to rush up, we glanced at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to push the dusty idol aside.

When the statue was removed, a dark hole was revealed below, and the faint sound of wind in the cave made us take a step back.

Ji Zizheng said that his grandfather once told him that there are terrible things suppressed under this ruined temple, and he must not get close.

And at this time, this big black dog let us in, can we still get out if we go in?

Ji Zizheng glanced at the big black dog and said, "Dumb, what's in here?" Where does it lead? ”

The big black dog didn't say anything more, he turned his head to look at a cat-faced old lady who had rushed up, and bared his teeth at her in warning.

But the cat-faced old lady just paused, and seemed to think that the big black dog was not in danger, and immediately rushed over again.

Song Gang shot and crashed into the eyebrows of the cat-faced old lady, and the cat-faced old lady immediately flew upside down and died straight at the gate of the broken temple.

In all directions at the entrance of the temple, countless sharp howls came, Ji Zizheng took a flashlight to shine on the hole under the broken temple, he glanced at Dumb, looked at us again, and jumped down without saying a word.

"Let's fight for luck, it's better to fall to death than to be eaten!" An Xiaowu spoke, he saw that the countless corpses outside had rushed over, took a deep breath, and jumped in.

Song Gang glanced at me and jumped down after An Xiaowu.

I looked at Shi Xiaoxue and said, "We'll be fine." ”

Shi Xiaoxue nodded and jumped into the hole.

At the gate of the temple, countless corpses rushed over, and the big black dog Dumb always squatted at the door, without looking back.

A dozen silver needles wrapped around my hand and passed through the heads of the corpses, and I said to the big black dog, "Dumb, let's go." ”

Dumb shook his head, he looked back at me and said, "The dog shouldn't live so long, Dumb should go." ”

The moment I jumped into the cave, I saw the swarm of corpses engulfing Dumb.

Then I fell into the darkness of the limitless, unable to hear anything, to see the light, to see my companions, and not to see myself.

I called out An Xiaowu's name and asked them where they were, but no one answered me.

I thought it was an out-of-body experience, but I couldn't see the white light coming from my body, where I was.

I groped my way forward in the dark, I walked for a long time, and there was still no light, no sound, and I couldn't even feel the road under my feet.

I started to run, faster and faster, but no matter which direction I was going, I didn't touch anything.

I was suddenly afraid, where the hell am I, is it a boundless black hole under the black old lady temple on Lao Ye Ridge?

Am I still sinking, or am I dead? Dou doctor to carry.

At the beginning, Ji Zizheng said that his grandfather told him that he should not get close to the temple of the old lady Hei no matter what, but the big black dog let us jump from here, and it gave up its life to show us a way, how could it harm us?

Also, why are there so many dead people, and on the night of the full moon, they rushed to the mountains, specifically to kill us, or for something else?

I remembered the ballad that was sung in Grandma Wu's mouth on the day she died: "Black old lady, come to ask for the soul, Miaozi Village, no one ......"

Could it be that the black old lady in the Taoist immortals, the black fox?

If it was really the black fox, it had already been worshiped as an earth immortal, why did it still harm people, what did it want to do, could it be that Guo Shouzhen, the founder of the Longmen Sect, did not release the black fox back then, but suppressed it here?

So what does it want so many corpses to do, to break the things that suppress it?

I couldn't figure it out, so I was a little tired, so I fell asleep.

But when I woke up again, it was still dark in front of me, and I shouted loudly the names of An Xiaowu and Shi Xiaoxue, the names of Ji Zizheng, and the names of Song Gang, I don't know where they went.

Are they my most trusted companions, are they in the same state as I am at this time, or have they given up on me, a seriously injured person?

I became more and more confused in the darkness, was I betrayed?

I began to try to time it, and I silently counted every minute and every second in my mind.

One day passed, two days passed, three days passed, until a month later, I began to go crazy, even though I had been practicing with the master since I was a child, I could sit without eating or drinking for three days and three nights, but such a long ordeal overwhelmed me and made me crazy.

I guess An Xiaowu and the others must have given me up after seeing me lose my breath after falling, but how could Xiaoxue abandon me?

I doubt humanity and the reality of this world.

I wanted to hear them, and I started yelling hysterically.

I tried to use the Dao technique, but it didn't work at all, I couldn't exert my strength, and I couldn't feel the presence of qi.

I became lonely in the dark, and I began to miss my mother, and I missed my grandfather.

I don't know how long it was, I started crying, I started to become silent, maybe a year, two years, or even more.

Until one day, I heard the voices of the outside world.

I felt a violent jolt, and I heard Song Gang's heavy and anxious breathing, Shi Xiaoxue's crying, and An Xiaowu's roar.

When I opened my eyes, I saw myself lying on a wooden plank, Song Gang dragged me to run forward weakly, Shi Xiaoxue hid on the edge of the cave wall and shivered all over, Ji Zizheng's clothes were torn, his legs were injured, and An Xiao's whole body was on fire.

In front of them, a group of ferocious minks was approaching, black and pressing, their hair standing straight on end, their fangs bared, and their eyes showing a fierce light.

And in the middle of these minks was a mink the size of a calf, purple all over, with a fierce glint in its eyes, and staring greedily at me.

I raised my hand, the open flame on An Xiaowu's body went out, and everything around me was silent.

The calf-sized mink screamed, and countless minks received orders and pounced on us.

The corners of my eyes suddenly twitched involuntarily, I don't know why, I suddenly felt that their movements were so slow, as if frozen in the air, I got up and looked at my motionless partners, and then stretched out a finger and pointed at a big mink that pounced in front of An Xiaowu.
