Chapter 7: The Mysterious Ghost Fire
"Tomorrow morning, let's go to the next stop. Styx Yang talked about the schedule, and at the same time changed the subject.
"What's next?" Bai Shenghuang asked seemingly unintentionally.
"The place where we will go next is a mountain village not far from here, this countryside is between two mountains, the time of the accident is similar to the time of the accident in the ancient well of Jingsu (xiu) town; some people have seen ghost fire in the mountains, and since then, some people have seen ghost fire from time to time; after learning about this, they have also sent people to check, but they can't find any reason; and this ghost fire is not the same as the ghost fire we usually know, and I don't know why it is different, and everyone who has seen it has different statements, but one thing is for sure, this ghost fire has another color in addition to the color of the ghost fire we usually know。 Stygian not only said the destination of the next stop, but also the situation there.
"Shenyang, have you ever wondered if there will be an ancient tomb near this rural area, or a long time ago, when the war was raging, this place may have been a battlefield, or maybe there was a special person who still had the corpses of the battlefield somewhere here?" I said this idea in the form of inquiry.
"I didn't think about it. When you get there tomorrow, ask around and make a decision. After listening to this, Styx Yang had some thoughts.
"First put the luggage or something, rearrange it, see what is missing, and then add it, and then rest, and set off early tomorrow morning." Pei Yilin made a decision for everyone.
"I thought you wouldn't say such a long sentence. Seeing that Pei Yilin rarely said such a long list, Ying Yang was very surprised.
Then I rearranged the luggage that had been scattered before, and added some by the way, and then went back to my room, sorted out my personal belongings, and rested. The next morning, several of us gathered in the hall early in the morning, each with our own luggage, and went to the service desk to check out, and quickly completed the formalities, and then went to the mountain village.
When we arrived in the mountain countryside, Mingyang took us directly to a local farmhouse to stay. This shop was set by the sun during the break, and you can stay as soon as you arrive. A few people rested in their own rooms, and the style of my own room, similar to the previous ones, was very much in line with my preferences, and the service here was also good.
This mountain village is difficult to develop because it is surrounded by mountains on both sides and has inconvenient transportation, but because it is a mountain village, it has certain geographical advantages, so it only develops tourism and farmhouses, so as to ensure the life of the villagers here. However, because it is relatively difficult to develop, there are no chemical plants here, and because of this, there is no pollution here, and the air is very clean.
Everything here reminds me of the isolated village where we met in many ways, especially the good environment and economic conditions, and the simple customs of the people here, and the people here are also very welcoming, and this aspect is also very similar to that small village, so I and Pei Yilin have a very familiar feeling, and they all miss that time.
After resting for a while, when it was time to eat, I specially chose the hall, the place with the most people, because here, you can hear and get a lot of information without asking, let alone deliberately inquiring. This hall adopts a low-key, simple design style, which makes people feel comfortable, but there is no lack of fashion.
After eating in the hall for a while, I also heard something. It seems that there is a place that, many years ago, was a forbidden place, so this place, almost no one knows what will be inside. Until one year, someone mistakenly broke into this so-called forbidden place that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and found that all the medicinal materials in it were extremely valuable.........
In order to be more specific, a few of us began to chat while eating, intentionally or unintentionally, and during the chat, we even pretended to mention related topics unintentionally, just waiting for someone to take the bait.
"Mingyang, I heard that some places in your country have very special scenery, as if this mountain village is one of them. I pretended to bring it up unintentionally.
"Yes, but I don't know exactly what it is, where. "The Stygian Sun is also very cooperative.
"You're from out of town, right?" An aunt-level figure at the table next to him came over, and at the same time, this aunt-level woman is also the proprietress here.
"That's right. Scarlet turned his cute baby face to their table, and with an innocent look in his eyes, he said to them. In this way, there are really few people who can resist it.
"Actually, what you hear and know is only a fraction. The saying that that place is forbidden has been passed down for a long, long time, so long that I don't know when. However, a few years ago, a few young people, unintentionally, broke in, and when they came out, they had more plants in their hands that we didn't know if they had never seen before, and finally, we took them to find a few famous old Chinese medicine practitioners here and study them together; a few old Chinese medicine doctors searched all the herbs recorded in the classics left before, and as a result, they found that this plant was some rare and extremely precious Chinese herbal medicine that was uncommon or even extinct. Since then, there have been people who ignore the rules left by the older generation and go directly to the forbidden land, pick some rare and precious herbs inside, and sell them to pharmacies to make money. In the first few years, this place was uneventful, and nothing happened to it, but since some time ago, people have often found ghost fires, and this ghost fire is not like ordinary ghost fire, there are several different theories, the only thing that can be confirmed is that what is seen is a ghost fire, and there is no reason for it. So, gradually, fewer and fewer people went. The female boss answered enthusiastically that there are few women who are not immune when faced with Scarlet's cute baby face.
"What is this place called, and why is it a forbidden place?" I asked directly, looking at each other with a puzzled expression.
"In the past, this place was called 'Guishan', but later it was called 'Ghost Mountain'. I've heard from older generations that this place became a forbidden place because it was a war a long, long time ago, probably hundreds of years ago, and since then, it has become a forbidden place. ”
"That's right. "The sun seems to have made a decision.
"Do you know where this 'ghost mountain' is?" I asked, feigning curiosity.
"This 'ghost mountain' is the one on the right side of our village. The landlady told us without much thought.
We all had a tacit understanding, we finished eating at almost the same time and at the same speed, and when we saw that it was still early, we tacitly went out for a walk together.
Seeing us walking out, the female boss hurriedly asked, "Are you going to that mountain?"
"No, we just want to go out and have a look. "I answered directly for all of us. Of course, it is impossible to tell anyone exactly where they are going.
