The woodcutter worked hard to mow the wood, and the fainting was over.

The mountain road is rugged, and there is a sudden mountain rain, the road is muddy, and the road ahead is difficult.

Two muddy men each carried a bundle of firewood, held a firewood knife to open the way, cut through thorns and thorns, and waded through the deep mountains.

It is also a veteran of the mountains and forests like them who can walk through such a rainy night, if you change to someone who is not familiar with the mountains and forests, let alone carry a bundle of firewood, even if he is empty-handed, he will not be able to walk out of the mountains and forests.

"Second brother, it's a little strange today, if it was usual, why should we have gone down the mountain a long time ago, why did it get dark today, and we haven't been able to go down the mountain yet."

A thin, lean man straightened the firewood he was carrying and said to another man.

The man known as the second brother is a big-shouldered man with a round waist, but he doesn't feel fat at all, but looks very thin.

The man cut the thorns in front of him with a firewood knife, and said casually without looking back:

"There's no way, the forests on the periphery of Lao Yin Mountain are all from Lu Yuanwai's family, if they are cut down and let Lu Yuanwai know about it, it will be miserable.

So when I went up the mountain today, I took you into the depths of Laoyin Mountain, and if you want to go back, it must be slower than before. ”

"Deep in the Old Yin Mountain? Second brother, why didn't you say it earlier, I heard that there are dirty things in Lao Yin Mountain, why did they break in like this, in case they ......"

"Old Seven, you don't have a goddamn crow's mouth there, isn't there just no one here! A little beast or something at most, isn't it raining now? Those beasts must be hiding from the rain, you're afraid of birds! ”

was reprimanded by the second brother, and the seventh felt much more at ease.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the two of them were soaked all over, and the firewood on their shoulders was also drenched, and it became much heavier.

The two of them were drenched in the rain and carrying firewood, and they couldn't bear it anymore.

"Second brother, no, from morning to now, I have eaten a few wild fruits, I really don't have the strength, I guess we won't have time to go down the mountain at this time, otherwise, let's find a place to shelter from the rain!"

Lao Qi gasped breathlessly, even so, one hand was still firmly holding the firewood on his shoulder.

The second brother was actually tired and hungry, and he knew that what Lao Qi said was reasonable, so he continued to move forward.

"I think there's a valley over there to shelter from the rain, let's go over there."

"Okay!"

Lao Qi didn't expect that the second brother, who had always been tough, actually listened to the opinion, was overjoyed, felt that he had strength again, carried firewood, and went all the way to the valley ahead, even if he was scratched a lot of skin by thorns, branches, etc. on the way, he didn't care.

It's just a little distressed about the torn clothes on my body, and it is estimated that when I go back this time, I will be scolded by my mother again.

The valley ahead is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, overgrown with weeds.

The two soon saw a place where they could hide from the rain, carried firewood, and hid under the mountain wall.

Lao Qi put the firewood against the mountain wall, wiped his face, and twisted the soaked clothes on his body.

"It's good that I found a place to hide from the rain, otherwise it would have been miserable tonight."

Lao Qi sighed and looked into the depths of the valley.

"Second brother, look, it seems to be a temple there."

What Lao Qi saw was a dilapidated temple in disrepair, which had long been overgrown with weeds, and I don't know how long no one had come.

The second brother naturally saw it, and after taking a few glances at the broken temple, his eyes lit up.

"Old Seven, do you see if there is still a lot of wood in this temple, if you can get it out, whether you sell it directly or sell it by burning charcoal, you can exchange it for a lot of money."

Hearing the second brother say this, the seventh brother was also bright-eyed.

"Let's go, second brother, let's take a look."

They are all crawling and rolling in the mountains all the year round, and they are very bold, and the two of them waded through the weeds along the road and went straight to the broken temple.

Approaching the ruined temple, Lao Qi felt that he had kicked something under his feet, and when he looked down, it seemed to be a plaque or something, although it was very shabby, but the whole thing was intact.

"Second brother, it seems to be a plaque."

Lao Qi stretched out his hand and helped the plaque up, and saw that there were three words on the plaque.

"Second brother, what is this written about?"

The seventh brother is illiterate, and the second brother is also illiterate, hearing the seventh child's question, the second brother observed the three words on the plaque, pointed to the last word and said:

"The other two don't know each other, but this word is often seen on the plaques of various ancestral halls, as if it is a 'ancestral hall' word."

"Ancestral Hall, is this an ancestral hall?"

Lao Qi looked at the broken temple in front of him again, no, the ancestral hall.

"Who would build an ancestral hall in such a dilapidated place?"

Placing the plaque on a stone and leaning against it, the two entered the interior of the ancestral hall.

The interior of the ancestral hall is not large, but it is the same size as the main hall of ordinary people, and there are two side halls.

However, at this time, it was already dilapidated, and there was no boundary between the main hall and the side hall.

In the center of the main hall is a dusty and rotten table, on which there is an incense burner, which has long been rusted, and I don't know how many years it was left.

There was a dagger with a completely decayed wooden handle stuck diagonally on the incense burner, and I don't know what it was for.

Behind the table is a clay statue about nine feet high, the image of a general in armor.

It's just that the image of this general is really not very good-looking now, the head of the general statue is long gone, and the weapon in his hand is gone, giving people a strong sense of brokenness.

The two of them walked around the ancestral hall, both of them looking happy, because they found several bronze vessels that could still be used, and happily put things together.

Lao Qi grasped a bronze wine venerable, and said to the second brother with a smile on his face:

"Second brother, I heard the old people in the village say that this kind of thing seems to be called Wen Wan, which is very valuable, why do you find so many this time, and you can make a lot of money by selling it!"

The second brother, who has always been mature and steady, also touched it with a bronze plate at this time.

"That's not it, with these things, you can afford to marry a daughter-in-law, and I can also let my stinky boy go to school!"

"School, second brother, the school is the place where the master of Wenqu Xing is born, if your baby can enter the school, will you also become one of those masters of Wenqu Star in the future?"

"Master, that stinky boy in my family, it's good to be able to read a few words in this life, and Master Wenquxing, why don't you even think about these mud legs!"

The two of them continued to rummage through the ancestral hall as they spoke.

I looked for it for a while, and I didn't see anything else of value.

Lao Qi's eyes looked at the incense case in the main hall again.

"Second brother, do you say this incense burner is worth it?"

"I don't know, how much should be worth some money."

The second brother is not convinced,

"But I heard the old man say that you can't mess with the incense burner or something, maybe there's something evil pressing inside!"

The second brother, who has always been bold, was a little cowardly.

Lao Qi was already blinded by money, looked at the incense burner and said:

"I don't think it's okay, it's all so broken here, I don't know how many years have passed, even if there is anything dirty, it's long gone."

As he spoke, Lao Qi directly pulled out the rotten dagger that was diagonally inserted on the incense burner.

When the dagger arrived, Lao Qi wiped it with his sleeve and found that the dagger was already full of patina, and he couldn't wipe it off.

"Is this thing still worth anything?"

Lao Qi was a little unconvinced, but in line with the principle of not wasting it, he pinned the dagger to the waistband of his trousers.

It's just that neither the seventh nor the second brother noticed that after the dagger was pulled out, a faint wisp of black smoke came out of the incense burner and floated in the air.

"Hiss~~ Second brother, do you feel a little cold?"

Lao Qi suddenly shuddered, and inexplicably felt a little hairy in his heart.

"What's the ...... Don't say it, it seems to be a little cold. ”

The second brother also felt it,

"On this hot day, even if it rains, it won't be so cold."

Lao Qi said inexplicably a little weakly:

"Second brother, you say, could it be something dirty?"

"Seventh, I said it, don't fuck the crow's mouth anymore, it just came out in the rain."

The second brother scolded and pointed to a pile of bronze vessels,

"Let's divide these up."

As soon as he heard that he was going to share the baby, Lao Qi was suddenly not afraid, and happily stepped forward and shared it with the second brother.

As the two of them split the treasure, the black smoke floating in the air gradually converged, eventually forming a black smoke ball the size of a duck's egg.

The black smoke floated in the air, and a vague face with no visible face condensed.

A pair of glowing eyes slowly opened, staring at the two of them.

"Hiss~~ Second brother, I'm a little cold again, my heart is hairy, you say, could it be really something......"

Lao Qi didn't dare to say any more, and even the treasure in his hand couldn't attract his attention.

"I'm feeling a little cold, weird, too."

The second brother raised his eyes and looked around and looked at every corner of the ancestral hall, but did not find anything abnormal.

Lao Qi was also nervous, but he didn't find anything.

The black smoke was floating right in front of them, but neither of them could see it.

The two discussed for a few sentences, and decided that they were infected with the wind cold because of the rain, and decided to sleep well.

Soon, the two of them used the decayed door panel of the ancestral hall as a bed and slept on their feet.

The black smoke group observed the two people sleeping together, the black smoke on their bodies trembled slightly, and what they saw in the glowing eyes was the strong yang energy emanating from the two of them.

These yang qi made the black smoke ball love and fear, wanted to step forward to inhale yang qi, but was afraid of being burned by yang qi, dangling around the two of them, not daring to approach.

After wandering for a long time, the black smoke group did not dare to touch the old seventh with the rotten dagger pinned to his waist, but aimed at the second brother.

The black smoke fluttered and flew to the second brother's forehead, trying to get into his seal hall.

It's just that before he completely touched the second brother's forehead, he saw the yang energy on the second brother's body burning like fire.

The black smoke was scorched by the yang energy, and the blurred face suddenly appeared with a distorted expression of pain, and the black smoke on his body was trembling.

The Black Smoke Regiment suffered a big loss, and fled like a puff of smoke and hid behind the broken statue of the general.

The second brother, who was already cold and hungry, slept very lightly, and suddenly felt a cold brow and woke up suddenly.

Subconsciously shook his foot and kicked on the chin of Lao Qi, who slept like a dead pig.

"Ah!! Second brother, what are you doing! ”

Lao Qi, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly attacked, covered his chin and screamed.

The second brother sat up uneasily and looked at the seventh brother.

"Old Seven, do you feel anything?"

"It hurts, you kicked me so much."

Lao Qi held his chin and said aggrievedly.

"I'm not talking about that, I'm saying we might be getting dirty......"
