At this time, there are still more than three hours left before the agreed delivery time. As the morning dawn dewed, our group once again embarked on a journey to find the truth.

From the air, the whole big lonely mountain is in the shape of a cone, but if you connect it with another smaller mountain not far away, the two mountain bags look like a gourd, so this large and small lonely mountain is also called gourd mountain. Legend has it that it is also inextricably linked to the gourd of Taishang Laojun to collect demons.

All the way, the old man was half-asleep and kept talking nonsense. I held a shotgun in one hand and a compass in the other, and Qiangba held the map to me on the side, "Keep an eye on the front, this forest is very weird, in case there are any wild beasts popping out of it, enough for us to drink a pot." ”

Qiangbabi drew a fiery eye and said: "Don't worry, with my little Qiangba, I am not afraid of any beast." ”

Right now, a few of us have been wandering in the mountains for almost half an hour, leaning on the map, barely making out the route, and approaching the destination crookedly.

"It is rumored that there have been white-haired zombies in this madman village, and Uncle Ciwang has seen the monsters in the forbidden land with his own eyes, don't take it lightly!" Deyang Ram reminded in the back.

"Got it, sister." Qiangba said disappreciatively.

Later, Qiangba asked me again, since we have the things in our hands now, why don't we take them apart and take a look at them, so as to solve the long-standing confusion. I said that I am also a cat scratching a dog scratching a sparrow in my heart, but I am not afraid of 10,000 in case, I am afraid of what if, if I can't get it, it is really a coffin of zombies, not asking for trouble. Besides, there is only an hour left before the delivery time, and if the hour is delayed, won't we become accomplices to kill him?

"Anyway, the thing has already fallen into our hands, when to see it is not a look, why do you have to rush to do it now! When we lift it to a bright and breathable place, we can look at it as much as we want, and even the coffin board will be dismantled and seen! Qiangba said.

"It's not a serious thing to say!" Deyang Ram interrupted Qiangba's speculation and asked him, "How long will we have enough water and food?" ”

"Well, why do you ask? Why don't we go up and survey the madman village? How much effort can it take? As he spoke, Qiangba counted the supplies and said, "There are two buckets of fresh water, food, I didn't prepare much, or the two bites of rough cakes when I came." ”

I pulled out my pocket, turned to Deyang Ram and said, "I still have a piece of chocolate here, are you hungry?" ”

Deyang Ram shook his head and said a perfunctory sentence and only asked casually.

In fact, I have always had a bad premonition in my heart, I feel that this trip is not as simple as I imagined, and I always feel as if something in the mountains is waiting for a few of us to fall into its trap, maybe Deyang Ram has the same intuition as me, so she will prepare for the worst.

But now that we're here, there are some things that we can't just say, we have to keep in our hearts.

I was thinking about what to do when Yu'er suddenly screamed.

"This beast has been very well-behaved all the way, I don't know why it barks at this moment?" Ciwang also felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, there was an open field in front of us, unobscured, and its roaring gong voice sounded extremely desolate in the night.

I saw that Yu'er looked wrong, and kept baring her teeth at the front of the ship, guessing that something might have happened ahead.

Animals always have a stronger ability to predict danger than humans, and Ren Yonghai seems to have seen a little clue. He picked up his earthen gun, raised his binoculars, looked into the distance for a moment, and then turned back to me and said, "There is fog ahead, and it is not small. ”

It took me a lot of effort to calm Yu'er, and I frowned and asked, "It's not uncommon for fog to get in the mountains in the morning, but this fog doesn't feel right. ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Yaxian on the side said nervously.

"It's too fast!" Caiyun, who had been silent, suddenly said firmly.

"Caiyun, did you notice something?"

Caiyun shook her head and stopped talking.

"We're either going to rush out before the fog arrives; Either wait on the spot and wait for the fog to pass. Ren Yonghai said.

I decisively rejected the latter proposal, saying, "We have limited time, and to stop is to die." You can't stop, you can only walk, accelerate and rush out. ”

"See for yourself, the fog is as thick as paste, rush out? What to take? Ren Yonghai handed me the binoculars.

"I can't care so much now, this fog is coming too fast, and I don't know when it will dissipate, Tenzin's time is running out, and every minute of delay, he is one step closer to death."

However, before I finished speaking, Deyang Ram said, "It's too late, we've already come in." ”

I realized that I didn't know when, we were already in the mist, and the smoke around us was cloudy, and the thick fog soon enveloped the whole ship. Several of us had to stand almost face to face to see each other's faces.

"Visibility is too low, and it's dangerous to rush forward!"

"I don't know what I'm going to touch in this fog!"

Yu'er was very unaccustomed to the dense foggy weather, constantly running, sticking out her tongue, and very excited.

I didn't want to sit still, so I said to Ciwang: "Uncle Ciwang, tell your brother to take out all the objects that can be illuminated, we can't stop!" ”

"Good!"

After saying that, searchlights, flashlights, and even old-fashioned kerosene lamps were lit, and the visibility did not improve at all.

"The black light is blind and there is such a fog, I think it's going to be weird." Uncle Ciwang said.

"I can't see the way now, if I take the wrong road, it will delay the time even more, so let's wait a little longer! The fog comes quickly, and hopefully it will disperse as quickly. Tenzin said.

"This is to tie your head to the waistband of your pants, gambling with everyone's lives, and if something goes wrong, everyone will suffer." Deyang Ram objected.

As we spoke, the ground shook violently under our feet, and we did not expect that the ground would be in danger, and we all fell backwards and backwards, and our feet were facing the sky.

The ground was still shaking violently, and gravel began to roll down the mountain. I was just thrown on a raised rock, and my whole back was knocked up, not to mention how much it hurt.

Fortunately, Yu'er was clever, and it rolled to my side with a hula. How dare I miss this last straw that saved my life, without saying a word, I straightened up the strength on my waist, threw my hands forward, and hugged it tightly.

Finally stabilized his body, and immediately there was a heart-piercing pain on his thigh, and when he looked down, his thigh had been cut by a piece of gravel, and blood flowed.

"Let's rush out."

"Lin Kun, something is wrong, you listen to the sound outside, it doesn't look like an earthquake, it's like a ...... It's like a war! ”

I was stunned for a moment, then I calmed down and listened, and sure enough, I heard a "rumbling" noise coming from the ground, and the formation was like thousands of troops fighting each other underground.

Thinking of this, I leaned over to listen to the movement. For some reason, when I listened closely, there was no movement at all.

"Why is it silent again?"

"This is not a place to stay for a long time, the rolling stones on the mountain are coming here, hurry up!" Deyang Ram shouted.

I saw the gravel on the mountain constantly tumbling and jumping, and it was as if we had walked into an ancient battlefield. The sound of the march of the golden iron horse was sometimes near and far away, and when you heard it carefully, it disappeared.

Just as I was about to withdraw, a nearby piece of ground began to roll violently, and something seemed to be about to burst out of the ground.

"Old Ren, what do you think that!?"

I suddenly remembered the two escaped monsters I had encountered outside the ancient tomb, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

With that, I was about to go up and fight the monster underground, but before I could go up, I was dragged back from behind. 、

"Look for death!" A great drag came from my neck, and when I looked back, I saw that the old man didn't know when he woke up, panting and pointing to the ground and yelling, "Don't run away, you are looking for death!" ”

As he roared, explosions continued to sound from underground. At this moment, one of Ciwang's subordinates suddenly sank into the ground with one foot and shouted like crazy.

"Lin Kun, this ......" Xu Yaxian saw the familiar scene in front of her, and her face turned pale.

The old man, who was blind but quite decisive, stopped me, and then directed us to go down a small path to the southwest, and he himself fell to his knees, babbling all the local dialects he did not understand, and he almost began to sing as fast as he could.

When Yu'er saw her master, she didn't show a little joy, but squatted on the side obediently without making a sound.

Strange to say, at the moment when he knelt on the ground, the movement underground was significantly weakened, and as his nervous chatter sounded, the debris on the mountain gradually subsided.

"The old man is chattering, it can't be that he eats insects and eats stupidity, right?" Ren Yonghai said.

"I don't look like it." I looked around, and the fog had indeed dispersed quite a bit since the old man came out. And the strange rumbling sound in my ears is slowly receding.

"The old man is the only living person in this crazy village, he can come and go freely in the forbidden land, he must have a unique secret."

The fog had just risen one after another, and there was chaos in front of him, and he could hardly see anything except that he felt a large amount of hot air surging into the air.

"What is he doing?"

"Who knows?" I shook my head and said, "However, he is really strange, you don't know, he just dragged my posture as if he had taken the Mighty Vajra Pill. ”

"You're saying he's playing crazy?"

At this point, we all looked at the old man, only to see that he had changed his posture at some point. This time he lay on the ground, his hands pointing down and constantly tapping the ground.

As the fog cleared, our vision slowly became clearer.

"Alright, help me up." The old man stopped his strange chanting and shouted at me, "The one from the south." ”

I was shocked, "from the south" although the words are very ordinary, but if you over-interpret it, the implication of the deep meaning is terrible, usually our Yuling descendants walk in all directions, they all call themselves "from the south", because the Yu Mausoleum sits in the south and faces the north, looking north at the Central Plains, only people who know how to know it, this is the unique humble name of our gods and ghosts.

"Could it be that this guy's white eyes are fake, and he is not blind?" I thought as I walked over to him, and he sat up from the floor with difficulty, turned to me and smiled, "Don't guess, old man, I'm a flying squirrel who can't see, but, hehe......"

When I saw that he was deliberately selling off, I crouched down to listen more carefully. The old man smiled and swept his beard, then lowered his voice and said: "When I just pulled you, I touched your hand, the ring finger of my left hand is deformed, and I am wearing a keel ban, and most people don't know your identity, but I know." ”

I listened to him to the point, to the point, not at all like the confused look when we first met, and immediately respectfully helped him down, and said: "You are really well-informed, and I can't hide it, I am indeed a god and ghost contractor." ”

"Young man, in your capacity, the old man should have saluted you. However, I see that you don't want to reveal your identity, so I'll be rude. ”

"Don't be formal, I hate this set of red tape the most."

"Thanks to you, you are a person with pure blood, otherwise, Yu'er's steel teeth are not vegetarians."

I don't say anything about Yu'er's ability to distinguish bloodlines, God knows that when I just led it for a walk, this guy completely rebelled, and I let it do whatever it wanted. Even Qiangba said that it was vain, with a big shelf and a small temper.

"Why, listening to the wind, are you going to the top of the mountain?"

I didn't know what his purpose was in asking this, so I tentatively replied, "We were asked by a friend to send something up." ”

Unexpectedly, the old man frowned, and said with some regret: "I'm afraid that it will be easy for you to go up, and if you want to go, you can ......."
