Just when Jiang Xian and Hong Siniang walked towards their meeting place. A young man walked over, bowed down and said, "Master Jiang." ”

This is a very young man. About twenty-seven or eighteen years old. Very energetic, wearing a camouflage uniform.

Without waiting for Jiang Xian to speak, he immediately said: "I am the seventh disciple of Teacher Chu, and everyone else calls me Xiao Qi." If Jiang Ye doesn't dislike it, it's good to call me Xiaoqi too. I'm here to report to Jiang Ye, and I've already told the village just now. In the next month, they vacate five rooms for us. ”

Jiang Xian nodded, and Xiao Qi continued: "There are two other things I want to report to Jiang Ye. First, we have 20 people here. There are not so many rooms in the village. Even though we borrowed five rooms, we were still nervous. So...... There may be no command room. ”

"Wait." Jiang Xian originally listened absent-mindedly - there are people to do these things. He actually didn't want to listen to these reports, and there was trouble with high seniority...... But at this moment, his mind suddenly lit up and stopped.

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Qi seriously. Xiao Qi was stunned, and his face involuntarily showed a trace of apprehension. Before he could bow his head, Jiang Xian said in a deep voice: "You say...... The village agreed? Give us five rooms? ”

"yes." Xiao Qi was stunned.

"Who promised?"

"Village...... Chief? ”

Jiang Xian's eyes twitched slightly: "You're not sure he's the village chief?" ”

"No...... Not very sure. For the first time, Xiao Qi faced this kind of ancestor-level mountain monster, and he paused a little when he spoke: "There is no one in this village...... No, none of them are open. When we asked, yes, one of them reached out of the window and pointed to the house, and we went over to ask. But...... But the people in that house didn't say that he was the village chief...... Just promised us that we could rent five rooms here. Said it through the door. ”

Jiang Xian then asked, "What about the rent?" ”

Xiao Qi blinked: "The other party didn't mention ......"

"In the window

What about the hand? Hong Siniang didn't know where to turn out a nail clipper, shaved her nails leisurely, and blew casually: "What's the difference?" ”

"It's no different...... Xiao Qi frowned slightly: "It's just an ordinary old man's hand...... By the way, his hands are very shriveled, like ...... It's like there's no moisture. ”

Jiang Xian and Hong Siniang glanced at each other, and then nodded and said, "I know, you don't need to report these things to me." Notify your teacher directly. Other than that...... Tell him to order everyone not to disturb the villagers. ”

"Got it!"

With Xiao Qi leaving with a sigh of relief. Jiang Xian and Hong Siniang immediately quickened their pace, and soon, the two of them arrived at the back of the village.

It's still a big mountain. But...... But it is full of graves all over the mountain!

It's very rudimentary, it's the most rudimentary version, with a stick and a five-color pennant glued to it. These graves are embedded in the cracks of the stones, in the dirt, and in the wildflowers. I didn't even feel any abruptness.

The surrounding trees rustle gently in the summer breeze, but with these graves, it is like singing a mournful music, telling how they grew from a corpse. It's chilling.

Just in front of the tomb, near the village, there was a river. It is as if the River Styx, which divides the kingdom of life and death, divides the village into two halves. And the eight-armed Arhat, Ling Xiaozi, stood by the river.

"How's it going?" Although Ling Xiaozi is no longer a Taoist, he obviously attaches great importance to the Taoist system. Since Jiang Xian looked for him, his robe has not left his body. At this moment, he looked thoughtfully at the stream and asked casually.

Jiang Xian was silent for a moment, and then said solemnly: "This place ...... It's not like it's for people. ”

"I didn't feel it at first, but the more I walked, the more wrong it felt. Over here...... It's so quiet. ”

He leaned against a tree at random, and said in a deep voice: "Da Rong Village does not communicate much with the outside world, it is adjacent to the mountains, this kind of deep mountain and old forest, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no fierce beasts. However, there is not a single dog here. It's normal for the family to be raised, but I walked a few hundred meters just now and I couldn't hear a dog bark, so something was wrong. ”

He held out two fingers: "Second, it is also for this reason. I noticed their house. You should have found out, too. The houses here ...... It's too far away. ”

"It's still the same reason just now, deep mountains and old forests, infested with fierce beasts. Whatever the reason, they should live together. However, they ...... It's like being afraid of getting too close to your neighbors, and one house is farther away than the other. ”

"Finally...... It was I who specifically asked Director Ma. Because of the special geography here, no one wants to betray the task of running a well-off life in this almost escaping mountain village, so ...... In recent decades, no one has seen a single villager here! ”

He sneered and looked at the few people around him who looked solemn: "The only one who has seen the villagers here is a volunteer teacher four years ago. It's a pity that he's crazy. ”

"Crazy?" The eight-armed Arhat urn spoke angrily.

"That's right." Jiang Xian took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep puff: "When I was crazy, I muttered two sentences in my mouth: 'Immortal Fuding' and 'Immortal'. ”

Brush! The eyes of the eight-armed Arhat and Hong Siniang immediately looked over.

Jiang Xian didn't pay attention to their gaze, but glanced at everyone, and said quietly: "Then, the problem is here." ”

"Bai Yujing in the sky, nine palaces and twelve cities, the immortals caress me, and give immortality. This is the word I saw on the fairy cliff below. Why...... Will it be mentioned here? ”

"Let me put it another way, under what circumstances would a living person know about the mausoleum below? And...... Active escapism? ”

Silent.

After a few seconds, Ling Xiaozi raised his head and said solemnly, "You can always see the essence through the phenomenon...... But there is really a kind of person who completely agrees with the situation you said. ”

He licked his lips and said word by word, "Tomb keeper." ”

These three words immediately made everyone's eyes light up. The eight-armed Arhat muttered, "If this is really a tomb at the level of the Three Princes, it is not surprising that they have their own mausoleum keepers. Only dignitaries of this level can afford to be treated as living people guarding the mausoleum. In other words, where there are mausoleum keepers, there must be large tombs. But the strange thing is that these mausoleum keepers have been reincarnated for thousands of years, which is too abnormal. ”

Time is the medicine that erases everything, and it is simply unrealistic that a mausoleum keeper can guard a mausoleum for a person for thousands of years.

People's minds change. The winds of change.

"Don't rush yet." After Jiang Xian pondered for a long time, he said his thoughts: "My opinion is: don't rush down first. If they are really the mausoleum keepers, then there may be important clues in this village that reveal the identity of the owner of the tomb below! ”

Knowing who the owner of the tomb is, this is too important for prospecting.

You can find allusions to each other from the historical records, and even the layout of the tombs, and the people involved. For the next exploration, there will be a "degree".

No matter how difficult it is, it will not exceed this "degree", because the other party's ability, financial resources, material resources, and manpower cannot reach a higher standard. Even from the records of the time, it was possible to deduce what other mechanisms would be encountered. Including the pattern of the tomb - sharpening the knife does not mistake the woodcutter.

"That'...... How do you confirm that they have the identity of the tomb keepers? The eight-armed arhat frowned.

This is so important for the next exploration that it can even be said to be a breakthrough!

"Wait." Jiang Xian rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice: "As long as they are human, they will eat and drink Lazar." I've seen that there are no toilets in the houses, and most of the toilets in the countryside are set up in pigsties or at the back of houses. Now that they are hiding from us, there will always be times when they can't hide anymore. They will always come out. ”

"Once you find their traces, you can always find clues!"

………………………………

Summer nights, dark late.

Jiang Xian asked for a room with the other three and Chu Ziyi. Of course, I slept on a makeshift wire bed. Coincidentally, there was not a single villager in the room.

He didn't hide their discovery from Chu Ziyi, he knew very well the level of the other party, if it wasn't for the arrangement of the team, it would be a matter of time before the other party found out. After all...... In addition to the king, there are also some "pseudo-kings" who are stuck in the transcendent masters......

Chu Ziyi very much agreed with their ideas. At eight o'clock in the evening, according to the plan, all the rooms were turned off by turning off the lights.

"Are you sure they'll come out?" A small hole had been punctured in the window, and Jiang Xian's bedhead was not far from the entrance of the hole, Chu Ziyi asked while recuperating.

"Don't worry." Hong Siniang turned over impatiently: "As long as you are a human, you have to eat, drink, and Lasa...... The daughter-in-law went to sleep. ”

A shoe flew directly to Hong Siniang's bed, and the other party screamed and gasped.

"It's not enough to be embarrassed at home, but to be thrown here? You don't want to be ashamed, the old lady still has a face! The eight-armed Arhat turned over irritably, and his huge body was wrapped in the quilt.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

Minutes and seconds passed. Those of you who are accustomed to the city's biological clock are not sleepy. Frogs, insects, and occasionally a long howl or two of wild beasts form a melodious concerto. It makes the lonely village in the mountains at night extraordinarily quiet and weird.

An hour, two hours...... Three hours...... Just when the time on his mobile phone pointed to half past eleven, Jiang Xian suddenly opened his eyes.

Not only him, but the whole room opened their eyes. Because just now, there was a slight "zig" sound in the air.

It was the sound of old wood being pushed away.

Moreover, this voice ...... It's in the middle of the living room!

Immediately afterwards, it was Jiang Xian who heard in the afternoon, and he tried his best to suppress the heavy gasps of "snort" and "snort".

Someone hiding in the living room?

Jiang Xian's mind quickly recalled the layout of the living room, a table, an old TV cabinet, and a wardrobe, all of which were empty.

"Secret way......" His eyes narrowed, and he quietly looked at the door.

The door to the dormitory was closed.

The old wooden door even cracked several times. With the characteristics of the eighties and nineties, there is also a glass on the door. The glass hadn't been wiped for I don't know how long, and it was covered with dust.

The wheezing sound was getting closer and closer, perhaps he thought he was hidden enough, but under the perception of several people in the room, it was as striking as a firefly on a summer night. Hong Siniang on the side bed tilted her head, looked at Jiang Xian, and said silently in spoken language: Do it?

Jiang Xian shook his head slightly.

In the next second, a tall shadow stood at the door.

It's high, it's frighteningly high. There may be two meters four or five, and when you look through the glass, you can see each other's shoulders. Just a door away from them!

Knock Knock...... The silence in the room was terrifying, and even the heartbeat of a person could be heard. In the midst of this dead silence, a rustling sound that made people's scalps explode sounded faintly outside the door.

It was the sound of fingernails that had not been cut all year round, and had gray matter, inadvertently scraping on the wooden door...... Jiang Xian's hand in the quilt clenched instinctively, and then forced to relax.

Rustle, rustle...... Like a ghost wandering in the dark. The figure suddenly lowered its body, and then, through the gap in the door panel, a bamboo pipe stretched out.
