The toss exhausted Qiangzi, and I rested in bed for two days before relieving myself, while I went to Jilian Village alone in order to fulfill my promise to Lao Litou.

Because I am not familiar with the production captain and let Brother Wei Guo help me ask for leave, before leaving, he said that the captain scolded and scolded, the two of us just came to report either sick or errand, not to exercise but like to recuperate, to reflect our problems to the town, in the end he used two bags of red plums to flat, I thank Brother Wei Guo from the bottom of my heart for his help, thinking that I will have to repay him well when I go back to the city in the future.

At this meeting, I found that Lao Li Tou's spirit was much worse than before, and after some conversation, I learned that he was like this because of a major incident at the forest ranger station in Goose Mountain.

Lao Li Tou said that due to the heavy rain that washed away the forest ranger station some time ago, the forest rangers found a deep mine hole under the site when they rushed to repair it.

After researching, the branch secretary and the village chief decided to let the ranger Lao Yang and Lao Yang's son go into the cave to learn about the situation before reporting, but Lao Yang who entered the cave did not come out again, and his son went crazy inexplicably.

This kind of evil thing made the village party secretary even more panicked, if he really reported it and couldn't get praise, he would be criticized as a typical example of feudal elements, and finally he really didn't think of letting Lao Li lead the villagers to find out.

The branch secretary sent a message, and Lao Li Tou had to lead some people over, but after entering the cave, there were strange things one after another, and finally he escaped by relying on the compass with the stump in his hand.

Although I also have doubts, what is the effect of calling me for something that he can't figure out, even if he accepts me as an apprentice and learns now, it is too late, but he said that accepting me as an apprentice is to carefully push the eight-character life and indeed have a master-apprentice fate, and he must respond to this fate.

As for the reason why I came here today to think that the mine cave is just a cover-up, there is likely to be a large tomb inside, and according to the rules, people are born in different doors, and fathers and sons do not enter together, which is also the final compromise method.

He took a yellowed book from the back room and handed it to me, saying that it was handed down by his master, who I had never met, and I took the book, which was already covered with moldy spots, and there were five big red characters on the face of the handwritten "Seeking the Mountain and Determining the Coffin", I opened it indiscriminately and a musty smell rose, and I don't know how long no one had touched it.

The first half of the book is a geographical feng shui with a simple map, and the second half is a method for exorcizing evil spirits.

As the saying goes, interlaced lines are like separated mountains, although I know what the above table is, but it is a fantasy to learn and use it now, but Lao Li Tou, who is the master I recognize, has handed over such an important book to me, so I have to keep it for the time being, after all, I don't really want to have any kind of development in this industry.

The book has been obtained, and the matter has been figured out, I said that when to enter the mine cave, I have to be notified in advance, and I have to prepare, but I didn't expect Lao Li Tou to say that everything is ready, and I will accompany him to touch it tonight.

This is not as simple as inviting guests to dinner, it can't be too long for 10,000 years to destroy the withering and decaying, I advise Lao Li Tou to brew and prepare first, if we want to fight, we will fight a sure battle, this will take me down the hole now, in case there is a mistake is not a joke.

Lao Li snorted and asked me if I was afraid, saying that since I could make this decision, I had made all the preparations, as long as I did what he did, there would be no big problems.

"Don't worry, your old brother will go together."

"Who? Yanni's father? ”

He nodded, I thought to myself that this old man is really calculating, and the favor he just owes will be repaid now, so he forced us to catch up with the troubled waters.

But when I heard this, I was a little more confident than before, Pan Shun was an elite who survived the fight with people, and the tendons and flesh of his body were not white, and he still had a flintlock pistol at home, which was a serious living force.

Since Lao Li Tou is so confident, what I say is also empty talk, looking at his posture, he has to do it if he doesn't do it, so he has to respond.

The meal at noon Lao Li Tou made arrangements in advance, and knocked on the bamboo pole of the village chief, not only asked him to prepare a table of wine and food, but also called to pour tea and pour wine, and the village chief also laughed with him throughout the whole process without a trace of displeasure, and he also knew in his heart that we were stupid to wipe this ass for him now.

This meal was eaten from noon until the sun was about to set in the ravine, and the sky gradually faded, so Lao Li Tou had the intention of leaving, and the village chief lent us a gas lamp in order to provide the greatest help.

The origin of the name of the goose mountain is determined by the shape, the whole mountain is tall and steep and narrow, like a goose neck, the sun sets in the west at the moment the top of the mountain will be dyed with a touch of yellow is the goose head, the old Li Tou once said that this mountain shape is imposing, there is a river gushing in front of the mountain and there is a mountain to rely on, it is a good place for feng shui, as long as the burial method is right, the descendants will definitely be prosperous.

Pan Shun brought a bow and a flintlock pistol, and Lao Li Tou prepared a bronze mirror compass and other Taoist things, while I was empty-handed and had no equipment, so I took over the work of holding the lamp with honor.

The growth of wild grass is extremely lush, since the evil thing happened in the forest ranger station, the people of this village are reluctant to go up the mountain, the original obvious road trail has been covered by wild grass, we can only rely on Pan Shun's sense of direction and the broken compass in the hands of Lao Li Tou to find the way.

The purpose of beating the snakes in the bushes with branches along the way was to startle the snakes, and the snakes in the mountains and forests were very active in this season, and no one wanted to be injured in this situation.

I put the gas lamp on the ground, pumped into the oil pot at the base, and the kerosene sprayed out of the lamp under pressure and splashed on the asbestos net, shooting a dazzling incandescent light, and the range of more than ten meters was like daylight.

Lao Li Tou came to the entrance of a huge cavern and looked inside, then lit a candle and threw it into the cave.

"You two follow behind, don't panic when you run into something." Lao Li Tou carried the box on his back and jumped into the mine with both hands on the ground, Pan Shun followed, I hurriedly put the gas lamp on and followed, this wilderness did not dare to stay alone, afraid of bumping into the female corpse again.

Under the light of the gas lamp, the long mine tunnel was unusually bright, and the ground had been filled with layers of sand and gravel mud, and from time to time some insects and rats were scurrying in the cracks.

There was a ladder in the cavern that had been erected, and as we went down one by one, it became more and more damp, and the heavy smell of mud filled the whole space, and I somehow always felt the shadows on the walls swaying, but I couldn't tell if it was reflected in the bodies of the three of us.

When he reached the third floor of the staircase, Lao Li Tou stopped, he put the compass in the palm of his hand in a horizontal shape, and the needle on the compass began to turn violently as if frightened.

The ancients believed that the aura was controlled by heaven and earth, and that harmony with heaven and earth was auspicious, and rebellion against heaven and earth was vicious.

The sky has the heavenly stem and the stars, the earth contains the five elements of the earth's branches, and the compass encompasses them all with the pattern of the sky and the place and predicts the good luck and evil with the rotation of the magnetic needle, which is the main means for feng shui masters to find the dragon points.

The different visions presented by the magnetic needle can be subdivided into eight categories, called the "Eight Methods of Strange Needles", and at this time, the magnetic needle is not only a sign of yin and evil dormant and evil qi lingering.

Lao Li Tou reminded us not to go any further, the bottom of this ladder is much darker and deeper than before, and we can vaguely smell the smell of sour rancid smell when we take a deep breath.

"Look at this ......," Pan Shun said, pointing to a place on the wall.

When I looked closely, I found a pattern carved into the wall, a circle of peach-shaped petals engraved with a humanoid creature, its face like a mouse, its ears straight, its waist and spine were naked, the sharp claws on its limbs, and a very thick tail dragged behind.

"Lao Li...... Master, do you know what it is? I wondered, almost calling out his nickname.

"It's a blood mouse."

Lao Li Tou touched it with his hand, twisted a little ash to his nose and sniffed it and continued to explain: "The cat jumping corpse will cheat the corpse, and the rat will also change across the corpse, especially those mice who have madness will climb to the mouth of the deceased will pass the rat gas, turning the corpse into a half-rat and half-human monster, and the mouse likes yin, and some tombs will ask someone to get these blood rats to prevent theft in the tomb, and those who are inverted will retreat when they see this pattern, which is a kind of warning." ”

I stared at the totem, and suddenly felt a dizziness in my braincase, it spun there as if it moved, and I fell back two steps in a trance, fortunately Pan Shunyan quickly pushed my waist, otherwise I would have fallen.

"Pay more attention to the thin air in the hole, this ass will not die if it falls, and it will not have half a life." Seeing this, Lao Li Tou reminded.

"Brother Li, shall we go down?" Pan Shun asked.

"Why don't you stop?" Lao Li Tou looked at the compass in his hand and muttered in his mouth, and then slapped it on it with his hand, and the magnetic needle suddenly moved as if it was fixed.

Lao Li Tou said that there is something dirty nearby that will cause the pointer to turn, but this compass is broken and the horn is sometimes good and bad, and now it is not moving, it should be just happened that there is an evil passing by.

"No wonder I felt that there was a gust of wind rushing from my back, it seems that I was in the way." I subconsciously looked back and returned.

"Since you hit it, you should burn some paper, so as not to go out with you," Lao Li Tou said, squatting down, picking up the stone, drawing a circle, and then taking out a stack of yellow laying paper from the wooden box he was carrying crossbody, lighting it with a match, and burning it in the circle.

Just as the paper was burning, I heard a strange sound coming from behind me, like the low roar of a jackal.

Pan Shun and Lao Li Tou should have heard it too, and they all looked in the direction where the voice came from.

This mine cave can't stay for a long time, there are ghosts and beasts, the atmosphere instantly becomes solemn and depressing, at this time I just want to hurry back to the ground, and honestly return to the red star as a young man.

"Master, let's withdraw first, Lao Yang's head was bitten by a beast." I propose to.

When Pan Shun heard me say this, he immediately took over, saying that he would just report to the village, and that other things would be solved by the soldiers, and he obviously retreated in his heart.

"No, let's just leave, those recruits may come up with some moths, and they are also raised by their fathers, so let them take this risk?" I have never seen him so serious, indicating that the situation in the mine is far more serious than I imagined, but he does not dare to tell us.

"Okay, okay, my life is yours today, why do you want me to accompany me to the end!" I patted my chest.

Since Lao Li Tou is reluctant to leave, it is not easy for us to go back alone, and the most important thing is that we are afraid that if the matter spreads, we will be looked down upon by Fang Qing.

After rearranging my equipment, I continued to climb down with Lao Li Tou with the gas lamp, but the temperature in the lower mine was lower than before, and the smell of sour rot was getting stronger and stronger.

Walking down from the ladder, the range illuminated by the gas lamp shows a boxy flat ground, supported by a wooden frame around it, and in the middle of this square flat ground stands a large stone monument two meters upward, and there is nothing else, the ladder is broken on this floor, and there is no room to go down.

I searched the clearing and found nothing rotten, wondering where the smell came from.

"By the way, didn't you say that Lao Yang didn't go out, what about others?"

I suddenly thought of Lao Li Tou saying that Lao Yang was the only son in the Yang family who fled in a mad way, and he wanted to see people and corpses, and he didn't see anyone else at the end.
