I thought that this old man was very understanding, but I didn't expect that his sharp eyes swept through the crowd like this, and he quickly spotted a few of our fresh faces.

"Who are they?" His tone immediately became serious, and he asked unceremoniously, "Don't you know our rules here?" ”

Fortunately, Ciwang and I had already shared the lines, and Ciwang immediately laughed: "They, just a few passers-by, but it's not that I'm going to bring them here, it's all because of the same road." ”

Ciwang completely left me with him, which puzzled the old man, and he looked at Ciwang in surprise, then turned his attention to me, and said, "Who are you?" ”

Because I figured out the important joint of the relationship between the ancient tomb and the Black Cloud Village, I deliberately guided the old man's mind in the direction I preset. If I tell him that we know some "secrets" about the tomb, out of suspicion, he will inevitably investigate further into what we know, and if I "reveal" it in a targeted manner, he will only be led by the nose, at least to be on the safe side, and they will not dare to act rashly.

"We came from a foreign country, passing by Baofang, just because we were in distress on the road, we lost our means of transportation, and we happened to meet these brothers of the horse gang, and by the way, they took us for a while."

At what I said, the old man immediately became more alert, and with one hand on the handle of his shotgun, ready to point it at us, he asked, "By the way, I will give you a while?" How did you get here? ”

"Yes, we're here for you." I said unhurriedly, "We are attacked on the road, we have to figure things out, otherwise we will suffer losses in vain, who will we go to reason?" ”

"I don't care who you go to, boy, this is not a place where you can come and go as you want, acquaintances, hurry up and get out of me, otherwise ......"

"Hey, you old man has a big temper, I haven't finished speaking, we have already found out on the way here, within a radius of 100 miles, it is the territory of your stockade, we are attacked on your territory, who are you looking for?" I said confidently, "I don't care who you are, Lao Tzu was attacked by the monster you raised for no reason, this account can't be said to be so unclear!" ”

I said it vaguely, but I deliberately pointed out the matter of the beast attacking people, this is undoubtedly a thunderbolt, as soon as the words came out, the old man's eyebrows jumped up, but he was stunned and did not break out, and he could see that this was a thoughtful person, and he could distinguish the severity.

Then he glanced at me, and seemed to be surprised how we "got out of danger" and stood intact at the gate of the village to "claim". As the so-called "real people don't show their faces", he probably also felt that a few of us were not ordinary people, so he was ready to probe our bottom and didn't want to get into my way.

My plan is very simple, that is, to blatantly go to Heiyun Village to "ask for an explanation", you "let the dog bite people", we come to the door is also logical and reasonable, as long as we are thick-skinned and determined enough, they will not be able to see through us, and they will give us space to play Tai Chi, as for what to do next, we can only look at the side of things.

"Okay, okay, how long are you going to stand outside?" At this time, the person leaning against the door of the stockade suddenly opened his mouth, and he also spoke fluent Chinese. I glanced at him, it was a young man in his prime with dark skin, Ciwang introduced that this was the captain of the Zhai Soldier Team, who was responsible for guarding the forest at night.

I nodded briefly at him.

Then the old man had a brief exchange with him, and when I saw that they did not repel us on the spot, or tie us up, I assumed that they had been tricked, but were more calm.

"Come in with me." The man greeted.

So, I took the mule and followed him into the Black Cloud Village. For the first time, Xu Yaxian saw the miraculous Black Cloud Village with her own eyes, and couldn't help but look around. I drank her with my eyes, for fear that I would accidentally expose her.

When we entered the stockade, we were full of stilted buildings and children running everywhere, and a few of them who had been playing in the trees came in as soon as they saw strangers coming in, and they all ran around us, as if they were facing a great enemy.

It can be seen that the people in this village are full of vigilance against the outside world, and even the children are very wary, staring at us one by one with round eyes.

I took out a bag of fruit candy and tried to give it to them, but they were completely unmoved.

"It's useless, they won't take it." Ciwang said.

"Why are the children here so vigilant?"

"This is Heiyun Village, they are isolated from the world and have almost no contact with the outside world."

"Don't they intermarry with the outside world?"

Ciwang shook his head and said, "Then how can you pass on the lineage here without intermarriage?" However, if you want to enter here, you have to go through the approval of the clan, which is not so easy. ”

The captain of the village soldiers took us to a stilted building, which was covered with a house, and there was no clear division between the living room and the bedroom.

As soon as he entered, he closed the bamboo door, then turned back and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Huh?!" The man's eyes widened, and he looked like he wanted to eat someone.

"Why are you asking so strangely, asking no beginning or end, what do we want?"

Before I could finish speaking, he suddenly smiled slyly, "It's kind of interesting." ”

"What's interesting?"

Before I could understand what was going on, he suddenly whistled, and at that moment a group of soldiers rushed out of it, each with a shotgun.

"What do you want!"

"Guotou, we have always regarded you as a friend, but you colluded with outsiders, which is really chilling."

Ciwang's face did not change, and he said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I am just on the same road with them, if you don't welcome them, just bomb them away, and we will leave as soon as we replenish the supplies." ”

Seeing that Ciwang shook off the pot completely, the man couldn't help but be suspicious and asked, "Where did you meet it?" ”

"It's on the highway and their car is broken."

"Highway?" The man frowned.

"Yes, it's the road, it's still far from your stockade."

The more details are given, the easier it is to be suspicious, but doubt also fuels his curiosity, because he doesn't know how much we know.

"What are you doing there if you have nothing to do?"

I gave Xu Yaxian a look, and then she took out a work card, which she wore in her early years in the archaeological team, and it has long passed its service life, but it is not a problem to fool people who don't know how to do it.

"We're from the archaeological team."

"What?!" When the man heard that it was archaeology, his face immediately changed, but then he adjusted his attitude and said calmly, "You archaeology is archaeology, why do you come to our village?" ”

Heiyunzhai is a closed country, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a peach blossom source. However, such a closed place often has ulterior secrets.

Maybe this secret has something to do with the ancient tomb.

And in order to remove the corpse poison, it is necessary to explore the secret truth.

"We have found some ancient texts in archaeology, which may be ancient languages that have disappeared, and I heard that there is a village of yours nearby, so we came to investigate."

The man's face changed, and then he shook his head quickly: "Then you have come to the wrong place, we are all Han Chinese, and we all speak Chinese." ”

"You're going to give an eviction order." I said deliberately.

When the man heard me say this, he knew that I was against the army, and he wanted to speak but couldn't speak, and at this time, with a "cough cough", a person walked out from behind.

The man was dressed in a dark Hanfu, about forty years old, with gray hair, black-rimmed glasses, and a circle of white tape wrapped around the frames.

"What's going on?"

"Tell the second master, these people are suspicious, and we are interrogating."

"Oh? Who are they? ”

"They call themselves the archaeological team." As he spoke, the captain of the village soldiers whispered in the man's ear, and we couldn't hear what he said.

After speaking, the man looked at us a few times, helped his eyes, and asked, "You are from the archaeological team?" ”

"Not bad."

"Where did it come from?"

"Investigate."

"What's the matter with the investigation?"

"Tombs."

"Where is the tomb?"

"The outskirts of the county, the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty."

"Since you are in the outskirts of the county, what does it have to do with my Black Cloud Village?"

"Just because the beast attacked people, I happened to meet the horse gang, and I came by the way, and I heard that Guizhai has been built for a long time, or there are clues to be found."

The two of us confronted each other for more than ten rounds, and finally, he waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, we don't have the clues you are looking for in the village, please go back." ”

I guess he was afraid that we were members of the archaeological team, and that we were also members of the public family, so he wouldn't dare to be too difficult for us. However, if we don't know how to lift, we can't guarantee that they won't turn their faces.

"Hahaha, the second master, if you really don't welcome us, it won't be in the way, a few of us will leave, but there is one thing I don't know if you know, on the way here, we not only encountered wild beasts attacking people, but also encountered strange birds that can eat people."

"You...... Where did you see that? He looked terrified.

"Immortal Peak."

The second master blushed all of a sudden, was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled, looking like a person who was very deep in the city, and said: "You are laughing, I am a handful of years old, and I have never seen a man-eating bird, so let's go, a few of you have traveled hard through mountains and rivers, and asked you to go back to the house, we are not careful, so we will keep you for one night, and leave tomorrow morning, how about it?" ”

I saw that he had compromised, knew that there was a play, and said, "Thank you to the second master." ”

"Not necessarily." After speaking, the second master poured himself a glass of water and asked, "In addition to the strange birds that can eat people, what else have you encountered?" ”

I told him about my experience on the Immortal Peak again, and after listening to it, his face was already a lot paler, and although he pretended to be calm and composed, his heart was already restless. One of the main reasons why I connected the strange things I encountered along the way was that the caravan had been walking on this road for many years and had been uneventful, but we had problems as soon as we came. "There must be a reason for nothing", it is very likely that these strange things are related to the ancient tomb.

I saw that the second master's face was wrong, so I pushed it and said that after walking all the way, people were sleepy and wanted to go back to rest.

The second boss could not force us to stay, so he acquiesced to us leaving.

Later, he repeatedly questioned Ciwang about our origins, and Ciwang said that we were just passengers he had brought from the road, and that there was nothing special about us, and he did not mention anything else. The second boss couldn't interrogate anything else, so he didn't ask any more.
