Wang Sheng suspected in his heart that the wild man seen by the villagers was very likely to be the target of their mission, but there was one point Wang Sheng was very puzzled, since someone saw the wild man, why didn't he kill him?

Zhang Sheng wanted to hire Zhou Yongqiang as their guide, but Zhou Yongqiang very firmly refused. Wang Sheng asked the location of Heizhugou, and used the watch to locate the exact location of Heizhugou, considering that Zhang Sheng was already old, Wang Sheng asked him to stay in the county seat and wait for them, and Zhang Sheng insisted on going with Wang Sheng and them.

The black bamboo ditch is heavy and stacked with cockroaches, the stream is deep, the terrain is steep, the motorcycle can not drive into the forest, and after walking for a whole afternoon, Wang Sheng and they came to a cliff, the cliff is inclined down, the watch positioning shows that from here down is Shimen Pass.

The road down is very dangerous, the slope is very slippery, Wang Sheng tied the rope to the big tree on the top of the cliff, and the other end of the rope was tied around his waist. When Cheng Hao descended to the bottom of the valley in a thrilling way, the sky was completely dark, and the forest was full of smoke, Wang Sheng and the others decided to rest here for the night first, and at dawn tomorrow, they would march in Xiangshimen Pass.

After setting up the tent, Cheng Hao and the bald head kept vigil, Wang Sheng had just fallen asleep, and suddenly an animal cry came into his ears, Wang Sheng hurriedly sat up, poked his head out and looked at Cheng Hao and the bald head, the two of them sat next to the fire, looking indifferent.

Wang Sheng let out a long breath, and just as he lay down, a terrible cry came from the forest. Wang Sheng tried to calm himself, but no matter how hard he tried, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

In the middle of the night, the bald head dragged Wang Sheng out of the tent, Wang Sheng was really depressed, and he didn't sleep much in the first half of the night.

Sitting by the fire in a daze, looking into the distance, the visibility was less than ten meters, and the cries of animals came and went, making Wang Sheng upset.

At four o'clock in the morning, there was a little sunshine in the sky, Wang Sheng stretched his waist, this night, finally survived, went to the river to wash his face, Wang Sheng just turned around, and saw a group of apes around the fire.

"!" Wang Sheng picked up a branch to pick up the monkeys, a few older monkeys picked up torches and threw them around, the tent was instantly ignited, Wang Sheng didn't care about these monkeys, scolded and pulled Cheng Hao and them out of the tent.

The monkey ran away, the tent was gone, and the props of Zhang Sheng's practice were basically reduced to ashes, and all that was left was a few pieces of rune paper in the pocket of his clothes.

Cheng Hao looked at the tent that was still smoking, and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Shengzi, you said you, let me tell you what you want, you can keep the tent all night." ”

Wang Sheng complained: "How did I know that there were monkeys here, besides, this group of monkeys is strange enough, they are not afraid of fire." ”

The sky is already bright, the fog in the Shimen Pass is near and far, it is still and moving, it is bright and dark, after a simple breakfast, the four of them walked towards the Shimen Pass, just walked out not far, Zhang Sheng suddenly stopped, Wang Sheng looked back, only to see Zhang Sheng looking at a small puddle in a daze.

"You stepped on this puddle just now, and I saw a mark in it. ”

Zhang Sheng said as he gently sowed away the stagnant water in the pit, and a wooden board engraved with the pattern of the word "mother" appeared in front of everyone's eyes, this pattern was slightly different from the pattern they had seen before, the horizontal in the middle of the word "mother" was an arrow, looking in the direction of the arrow, it was a dense forest, the fog was too thick, and the situation in the forest could not be seen at all.

Wang Sheng scratched his hair: "Is this a mark secretly left by the consistent Dao, or is it to trick us into the trap they laid?"

Leng Ai closed her eyes and observed, but did not find anything abnormal.

Cheng Hao snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter what it is, just go over and see if you know." ”

Wang Sheng shook his head: "If they lay a net of heaven and earth, wouldn't we kill ourselves." ”

The bald head touched his head and said with a smile: "The person who can kill Lao Tzu has not been born yet!"

Zhang Sheng said softly: "I want to see what they are capable of." ”

Following the direction of the arrow, after walking out of about a hundred meters, the hillside became very steep, Zhang Sheng's physical strength could not keep up at all, and there were many steep slopes that he couldn't climb.

Zhang Sheng sat on the ground and gasped: "Why don't you go first, I'll follow you slowly." ”

Cheng Hao smiled: "Throw you here to feed the animals!"

Probably walked out more than 100 meters, the mountain road became steeper and steeper, Wang Sheng and they were very difficult to climb, their current position was more than 500 meters away from the place where the pattern was found, they did not find any marks, nor did they find any suspicious places.

Wang Sheng and the others decided to go back the same way and look in the opposite direction of the arrow, but they walked for more than an hour, and they could not return to the place where they found the mark, and they got lost.

Wang Sheng looked at the watch, but it did not show their current location, and even the function of the compass was invalid. Wang Sheng's brows furrowed, and an ominous premonition arose from his heart.

At noon, the bizarre fog of Heizhugou was like a soft floating cloth, unable to distinguish the direction, Leng Ai closed his eyes and observed, all he could see was the forest and the dense fog, after a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and stretched out her hand to point in one direction: "There is a cave there, there is an iron gate in the cave, let's go there and have a look." ”

Three kilometers away, Wang Sheng and they walked for more than four hours, came to the cave, Wang Sheng looked at the surrounding environment, the same fog, but the fog here is a little thinner, a big tree in front of the cave, carved a 90 degrees of the "mother" word.

The entrance of the cave is overgrown with weeds, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all, more than two meters in the cave, a heavy iron door is closed tightly, Wang Sheng pulled the iron door hard, through the gap in the iron door, you can see that there is an arm-thick iron chain inside the door, and the door is locked from the inside.

The bald head said: "If there is no other exit from the cave, there must be someone inside, Wang Sheng, can you blow it up?"

Wang Sheng frowned, this iron door is treated with anti-riot, there is cotton and cement in the middle of the iron door, ordinary blasting does not work at all, the stone door on the top of the cave is also a little weathered, if it is blasted, I am afraid that the entire cave will be blown up.

Leng Ai closed her eyes and observed, it was very deep and dark inside, and she couldn't see the situation inside. Wang Sheng stretched out two fingers and tried to play with the chain, but the crack in the door was too narrow, and his fingers couldn't touch the chain at all.

Wang Sheng scratched his hair, wanted to enter the cave, but could only blast, everyone stood outside the cave, Leng Ai's flashlight shone on the crack in the door, Wang Sheng held his breath and gently threw the steel ball in his hand.

The steel ball hit out of the iron chain, and the huge shock wave knocked the iron door to the ground, Zhang Sheng looked at Wang Sheng with a surprised expression, and he had to look at Wang Sheng's steel ball.

Wang Sheng smiled: "This thing is a top-secret weapon, and I can't show it to you." ”

Zhang Sheng smiled: "I'll just take a look, just a look." ”

Wang Sheng shook his head and strode towards the cave, Zhang Sheng followed behind Wang Sheng like a child, and looked at Wang Sheng's steel balls alive and dead.

In desperation, Wang Sheng took out a steel ball and handed it to Zhang Sheng, who looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see the clues.

The cave was very damp, and the sound of running water could be faintly heard, and there were many places where it was basically mud, and it was particularly slippery to step on, and after walking about two hundred meters, they came to the end of the cave.

Seeing the scenery in the cave, Wang Sheng and the others all felt that their scalps were numb, and there were no items at the end of the cave, a rope hung down from the top of the cave, and a person was hanging from the rope, and on the neck of that person hung a big wooden sign similar to that of a bucket, which read: Nosy, you will definitely die. What surprised Wang Sheng the most was that that person turned out to be Zhou Yongqiang, who entertained them.

Wang Sheng picked up a small pebble and broke the rope hanging on Zhou Yongqiang's head, without touching his neck, he knew that Zhou Yongqiang was dead, his body had stiffened, and he had been dead for at least twenty-four hours. It has only been thirty hours since Wang Sheng and them left Zhou Yongqiang's house, if you calculate according to the time, that is to say, after Wang Sheng and they left, Zhou Yongqiang also set off, he came to this cave in the evening of last night, and died inside.

Everyone carefully inspected the cave and did not find any other exits, Wang Sheng's brows wrinkled involuntarily, the door of the cave was locked from the inside, even a mouse didn't want to get out of the crack in the door, then there was only one possibility, Zhou Yongqiang came to the cave, locked the door from the inside, and then committed suicide. But this is absolutely impossible, Zhou Yongqiang refused to step into Heizhugou for half a step, how could he come to such a hidden place to commit suicide. Even if he committed suicide, the roof of the cave was more than five meters high, Zhou Yongqiang's body was more than one meter away from the ground, and nothing could be found under his feet, how did he climb so high and put a rope around his neck.

Leng Ai asked Xiang Zhang Sheng: "Is it possible that it is a spell to manipulate other people's behaviors?" ”

Zhang Sheng told Wang Sheng that there are many ways to control a person, and the easiest way is to poison it, but Zhou Yongqiang doesn't look like he has been poisoned, Zhang Sheng suspects that Zhou Yongqiang has also been poisoned. The word "mother" at the door, which rotates ninety degrees, is left by the consistent Dao, and the person who is under the Gu is very likely to be the altar owner of the Daoming Xing Altar.

After Zhang Sheng's inspection, the possibility of poisoning was ruled out, and no signs of Zhou Yongqiang being hit by Gu were found, as if he really committed suicide.

When he left the cave, it was already dark, the bumps of the day, Zhang Sheng's had long run out of strength, Cheng Hao set up a tent in front of the cave, and after dinner, Zhang Sheng fell asleep in the tent.

The bald head touched his head and smirked: "We were in the middle of the night last night, it's your turn today, you have to take care of it, we will be this tent." ”

Wang Sheng scratched his hair and smirked a few times, since they were together, as long as they were not on the island, he had never slept well.

After a while, the snoring sound of the bald head sounded, Wang Sheng leaned his back against the tree, Leng Ai held Wang Sheng's arm, and his head rested on Wang Sheng's shoulder. Wang Sheng also felt very tired, and after a while, his two eyelids kept fighting.

There was a sudden sound of "whirring" in the cave, Wang Sheng hurriedly got up from the ground, staring at the cave without blinking, and there were all kinds of animal cries around, without a trace of abnormality.

Wang Sheng smiled helplessly, he must have been too tired and had auditory hallucinations, he had just sat on the ground, and there was a sound of "whirring" in the cave, Wang Sheng stiffened his ears and listened, there was no sound in the cave.

Wang Sheng slowly walked to the cave, shining a flashlight inside, and didn't see anything unusual, Wang Sheng smiled helplessly, and slowly turned around.

Suddenly, Wang Sheng felt a wind drifting by his ears, and before he could understand what was going on, he felt a huge pain in his head, and the person also flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

Wang Sheng looked back and saw the dead Zhou Yongqiang standing at the mouth of the cave, his two fists the size of his head, and the sound of "whirring" in his mouth kept coming.

Wang Sheng took out his gun, and the bullet hit Zhou Yongqiang's body like a stone, sparking one spark after another.
