When the fifth brother returned, they left overnight.

This time they have a guide, and it is difficult to walk on the mountain road at night, but the fifth brother of the sheep knows where the mountain road is, and the young people can run freely on the mountain road, and it is two hundred miles to go out in one night.

Two hundred miles away, there are still mountains and forests.

However, having already left the territory of Jiuli Mountain, they took a detour halfway and entered a deeper mountain forest.

The fifth brother introduced them to them, saying that although the continuous deep mountains of Shu County and Jingchu were not as unfathomable as the 100,000 mountains, they were also mysterious and treacherous.

There are many tribes and ethnicities, and there are still many tribes that do not communicate with the outside world and live a self-sufficient life.

These tribes must have some skills to survive in the deep mountains, because they have to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and to raise their tribesmen in the mountains, these tribes have to rely on the resources in the mountains, and they attach great importance to the territory, and their favorite thing to do is to expand the territory and grab the mountains.

Therefore, if any tribe does not have any real skills, the territory will definitely be robbed, and the tribe's people will be taken away as slaves.

The place where the fifth brother Yang took them into is called Yushan, which is not a mountain, but a large mountain.

There is another big tribe living in this place, called Daheitong, also called Yuzhai.

The locals are good at driving the poisonous insects, and Jiuli Tong is a feud, since a hundred years ago, Jiuli Tong wanted to annex the poisonous mountain and drive the people of Dahei Tong as slaves.

Daheitong can make poisonous insects fight and is well versed in poisonology, so it stands to reason that he will not be afraid of Jiuli Mountain, but unfortunately this tribe has a tradition of infighting - those who play snakes look down on playing scorpions, and those who play scorpions look down on centipedes, in short, they despise each other and dump each other.

A hundred years ago, Jiuli Tong once gave birth to a very outstanding Da Yu Lord, who condensed Jiuli Tong and carried out a crazy killing of Da Hei Dong, and almost wiped out Da Hei Dong.

It's a pity that Jiulitong's luck is not good, and the Yuan army entered the Central Plains.

After entering the Central Plains, they sent a messenger to inform Jiuli to hurry down the mountain to bow to the emperor.

Jiuli Tong was enraged, and directly killed the envoy group and fed the beasts, which made the court of the previous dynasty angry, and the former dynasty immediately sent elite soldiers to slaughter Jiuli Tong.

Fortunately, the Yuan army won the world immediately, and they were good at plain annihilation warfare, not mountain warfare, so although the army sent was cruel and easy to kill, they did not completely exterminate Jiuli Mountain.

However, at that time, Jiuli Tong was beaten very badly, and Dahei Tong took the opportunity to breathe and grow stronger.

Later, Jiulitong finally negotiated peace with the previous dynasty - at that time, the former dynasty had already made the people in various parts of the Central Plains miserable and the people were in turmoil, and they were unable to enter the mountains to attack Jiulitong again, so they were willing to negotiate peace.

But Jiuli Tong is hidden in the mountains and forests, where will he know about the changes outside the mountain?

In short, after they negotiated peace with the previous dynasty, they immediately took out their energy to deal with Daheidong, and they did it again.

At a critical time, Taizu of this dynasty sat firmly in the Dragon Court and began to recruit bandits and bandits from all over the Central Plains.

Because Jiulitong negotiated peace with the previous dynasty and once sent troops to assist the former dynasty in suppressing the local rebel army, Emperor Taizu thought that they were the lackeys of the Yuan people, so he refused to surrender them, but sent a large army to beat them......

So Jiuli Tong saw that he would be able to destroy Dahei Mountain again soon, and watched the imperial army come overwhelmingly......

They were beaten very badly again, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Daheidong is very close to the imperial court, and has received funding from the previous dynasty and support from this dynasty.

From this point of view, it is no wonder that Jiuli Tong has always been dissatisfied with the imperial court, every time their tribe wants to rise, they will be beaten by the imperial court, and whose mentality will not collapse?

The fifth brother of Yang said that now that Jiuli Tong has returned to the imperial court, he has begun to attack Daheitong and devour Daheitong's territory again, and Daheitong has a blood feud with them, so he naturally fought back.

Therefore, when they enter the territory of Daheitong, they can avoid Jiuli Mountain.

Moreover, because Dahei Dong has been indirectly saved by the imperial court many times in history, he has always had a good impression of the imperial court, and Wang Qilin, the official position of the head of the guardian who listens to the heavens and watches the wind, may be more effective in Daheidong.

The night faded and the dawn loomed.

Wang Qilin found a waterhole and released the Dao Law boat, and Bai Zetou at the bow of the boat really didn't attack it, but opened his eyes and took a look at it, and then closed his eyes.

The fifth brother of the sheep walked on the boat and sat on the seat of the black impermanence, and after sitting on it, he also closed his eyes, and he seemed to be settled.

Wang Qilin put away the Dao Law boat, he could really hide in it, which was the same as Baiyunjian.

The group chose the direction of Jinguancheng and walked around the mountain.

The mountains in the Dahei Ridge are higher and more precipitous, and the vegetation here is more lush and deeper.

When they can't find a mountain road, they simply don't take the mountain road, and when they walk through the mountain forest, because there are too many trees, they are too dense and too luxuriant, and sometimes they can't see the sun for an hour.

Walking in such a forest is like night.

Fortunately, the white ape has lived in this kind of place since he was a child, and he is familiar with driving in front of him, jumping on the trees, and trying to lead them to the flat hills.

Passing through a lush forest, they finally reached the top of a hill, the clear blue sky reappeared, and the dazzling golden sunlight came out again.

There are birds flying leisurely in the sky, and sometimes there are eagle cries, and then the birds will scurry in horror.

They walked down the sunny slope of the mountain, inadvertently bypassed, and then a high mountain appeared before them and stopped them.

This is a cliff, the height from the ground is afraid that there are two or three hundred zhang, the shape is like a sword stuck in the earth, the cliff side is almost straight up and down, not to mention that the spirit monkey is difficult to climb, even the birds can not go up.

Of course, they have seen many steep mountains along the way, so that they will not be stopped by a cliff, and what really shocks them is what is on the cliff:

Coffin!

The cliff is like a beehive with countless small caves, each with a coffin inside.

They saw a mountain of coffins.

Fat Wuyi looked up at the cliff and exclaimed: "Oh no, it's dangerous, this cliff can't be climbed, how did so many coffins get up? And these caves, how did they appear?"

Xu Da said: "Fat boy, you little fool, what a simple thing, this mountain is built by people, first put the coffin, then use stones to pile up, and finally pile up such a cliff!"

Fat Liuyi was stunned and said, "Oh, I'm Diniang, this is amazing." ”

Fat Four Five and Fat Five and others have distanced themselves from him, and it is a shame to be with such a brainless clan!

Wang Qilin looked at the cliff carefully and said: "There should be a hanging platform on it, people first use the hanging rope to tie the hanging basket and fall down, find a suitable cave, and then hang the coffin from the top of the cliff after cleaning up, and then push the coffin into it from the hole and place it neatly." ”

"Is that so?" asked Fat Six one day.

Xie Toad stroked his beard and smiled: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, that's right, this is the most common burial method in the 100,000 Great Mountains, called mountain burial. When every cave in this cliff is filled, they will actually pile up stones, go and plug the holes with stone powder, so as to prevent people from robbing the tombs. ”

He pointed to his feet and said, "So every mountain here may be a burial mountain, and there may be many coffins under our footsteps." ”

The group went down the mountain happily, and then the clouds were blown by the wind, and the thunder and lightning soon appeared, and it was another pouring rain.

Fortunately, this time the rain did not come as soon as it was last time, and they had time to find shelter.

Wang Qilin has a mirage candle, and the best way is to find a flat place to release the big house, and then enjoy the rain while sheltering from the rain.

But the mountain is very steep, and there is not so much open space.

The second way is to find a waterhole to release the Dao Law boat, but unfortunately they urgently looked for it, Chen Weiyue also took off, and then said that there is no waterhole river near here.

Black Bean looked up at the sky and shouted, "Uncle, why don't you find a tree to shelter from the rain, you see that the heavy rain is coming!"

As his words fell, a scorched thunderbolt struck, smashing a tree on a distant hill into charcoal.

Seeing this, the black bean instantly shut up.

For the first time, he felt the malice from God.

Wang Qilin saw that there was no way, pointed to the hanging coffin mountain and said, "Forget it, let's go there and find a cave to shelter from the rain." ”

The shortest cave was also three or four feet away from the ground, but this could not stop them, Wang Qilin jumped up and stomped down on the straight stone wall, and flew up the cave with this force.

As soon as the person stood at the entrance of the cave, a cold wind blew.

The wind blew in from the outside, and it wasn't cold, but Wang Qilin knew that this mountain was a hanging coffin mountain, and there were many coffins hidden in it, so it was inevitable that he would think about it in his heart.

The cave is not natural, and there are clear and clear marks of knife and axe cuts, and someone dug such a hole specifically to contain the coffin.

Naturally, the hole that accommodates the coffin will not be very large, and it will not be able to store so many of them.

So Wang Qilin informed the situation below, saying that this cave could not accommodate too many people, and it was best for them to change places to shelter from the rain.

But then it started to rain, and it was raining heavily in the mountains, and once it started to rain, it was soon pouring down.

Seeing this, they had no choice but to squeeze into a coffin hole in groups of several people, and everyone scattered.

Wang Qilin stayed with Suisui Niangzi, Black Bean, Eight Meow, and Jiuliu, they had just entered the cave in batches, and then the rain poured down.

At this time, Wang Qilin found the cup, this cave is prepared for storing the coffin, so when it is chiseled, the bottom of the cave is tilted, and it is inclined from the hole to the inside, which is to facilitate the coffin to advance.

But at this time, it became convenient for the rainwater to flow in.

The rain fell in a hurry, and was blown into the cave by the wind, and the eight meows hated the water, so they jumped up and squatted on Wang Qilin's shoulder.

After squatting, Eight Meow Mei shrunk into the little jio-jio and prepared to listen to the sound of the rain and take a good sleep: hehe, I don't know what's going on, Meow Ye likes to sleep on rainy days, and he can't help but doze off when he hears the sound of rain and the sound of reading.

Wang Qilin asked, "What can I do about this?"

Black Bean couldn't help it, but he frowned and rubbed his temples in thought.

In this way, even if he can't think of a way, others will think that he has tried very hard to think about it, and will not blame him.

It's a pity that this trick didn't work for Wang Qilin.

Wang Qilin didn't speak at first, but after a while, he suddenly asked, "Is it delicious?"

Black Beans subconsciously said: "Mmmm, the stewed chicken soup made by my mother is fragrant......"

After saying that, he realized that something was wrong.

He looked at Wang Qilin in horror, and Wang Qilin asked, "I asked you to figure out how to get the water flowing in, and you pondered stewed chicken soup for me?"

Black Bean weakly explained: "Uncle doesn't blame Dou, you see that this water is like chicken soup, so Dou looks at it and thinks of the chicken soup cooked by his mother." ”

Wang Qilin sneered, he knew the urine nature of this bear child, once the bear child fell into contemplation, he must ponder and eat.

Suisui Niangzi said softly: "Qilang, you hurry up and find a way to get the water off, the slave family doesn't want to wet the skirt." ”

Wang Qilin was on his feet all of a sudden.

He quickly crouched down and propped his head on his hand in contemplation.

Suisui Niangzi nodded admiringly when she saw this scene: The nephew is so good with his uncle.

Wang Qilin didn't have a good idea, he thought about it and said, "Otherwise, let's use the eight meows as a rag and use it to wipe the rain out, how about it?"

Black Bean hurriedly came to agree with the three companies, nodded and applauded and said, "Okay, good, uncle is so powerful, this method is very good." ”

Eight Meow, who was dozing off, suddenly widened his eyes: There is a pit!

Ninety-six's eyes widened as well, and it ran to the innermost point and put its ears on it to listen.

Wang Qilin smiled at the black beans and said, "Good idea, isn't it? Then who will work with the eight meows? Well, pig grain beans, uncle thinks you are very suitable." ”

Black Bean came to refuse three times, shook his head and waved his hand and said no: "No, no, no, it's not good for my uncle to be like this......"

An abrupt ghost howl interrupted his words, Fat Liuyi's voice.

Wang Qilin immediately dodged and flew out, his true yuan turned into true qi, and the imperial qi was released, the rain could not fall, and the whole body did not get a drop of water.

Fat Liuyi's position was below the side, and they found the lowest coffin hole and drilled into it.

Wang Qilin jumped down and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fat Wuyi's frightened face appeared at the entrance of the cave: "Seventh Master, there seems to be a ghost." ”

Wang Qilin said with a smile: "There is such a good thing? Where is the ghost? The seventh master has done it." ”

"Who are you going to do?" asked Xu Da, poking his head out from the side.

Fat Liuyi poked his head out in horror and said: "Seventh Master, don't be joking, this place is really wrong, I don't believe you come in and listen, there is a sound here!"

Wang Qilin drilled into the coffin hole, this cave is also very shallow, from the hole to the bottom of the cave is more than a zhang deep.

Fat Four or Five and the other two young men were leaning against the cave wall and listening, their brows furrowed very tightly.

Wang Qilin suddenly thought of Jiuliu, who also made such a posture just now, did Jiuliu already hear any sound?

He also leaned against the stone wall and listened, and then heard nothing.

There was no movement.

Seeing him shaking his head suspiciously, Fat Liuyi said anxiously: "There is really a voice, Seventh Master, you believe me, my hearing is the best, I can see the fire, I can see the details, I really hear it, there is something knocking inside, it's like knocking on the door." ”

"It's it, it's it, it wants to come out!"

Eight Meow also put her ear on the stone wall, and then nodded to Wang Qilin.

There is indeed a sound.

Xie Toad then flew in and asked, "What's the ghost called?"

Fat Liuyi and Fat Wuyi hurriedly pointed to the stone wall.

Xie Toad also leaned up to listen, and he frowned after listening to it: "Hey, weird, why is there a sound behind the stone?"

Wang Qilin asked depressedly, "Why didn't I hear the sound?"

Xie Toad said: "The voice is very small, it is indeed like a person is blocked inside this mountain rock, and this person is knocking on the stone to come out." Listen, bang bang, bang bang, bang bang......"

Wang Qilin listened carefully, and then he really heard it.

He was about to rejoice, when he suddenly realized that what he heard was his own heartbeat......

Xie Toad pondered with his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, maybe, maybe what we heard was not the sound of knocking stones, but that this mountain is about to become a spirit, is it that it has a heartbeat?"

When they heard this, they were all astonished.

Fat Liuyi didn't care about being afraid, and asked, "Dao Ye, can the mountains still have a heartbeat, can the mountains still become essences, what will they become after they become essences, is it a huge stone man?"

Xie Toad said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Lao Dao has heard people say this, but it is not clear whether it is true or not. Legend has it that before the Tang and Song dynasties, the mountains of the world could be transformed into human forms and called mountain spirits. ”

As he was explaining, Hachimeow suddenly screamed and shook his head.

Wang Qilin was stunned and said, "What you said is not right?"

Hachimeow shook her head again, stretching out her little fluffy jio and pointing at the mountain wall.

Xie Toad reacted and posted it to listen, Fat Liuyi also listened, and then shook his head: "There is no sound, is it possible that the mountain spirit is stillborn?"

But Xie Toad didn't speak, and his face became more and more grim.

He motioned for the crowd not to speak, and he stuck to the wall and listened.

Wang Qilin sat at the entrance of the cave and watched the heavy rain outside.

The heavy rain poured for more than an hour, and Xie Toad also listened for more than an hour, until the rain stopped, he didn't raise his head: "I see, Lao Dao knows what's going on." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Master Dao, it won't overturn this time, right?"

The solemn look on Xie Toad's face suddenly changed to a look of embarrassment: "Your grandmother's, Seventh Master, didn't you say, 'Don't say it's good, say more wrong'?

Fat Wuyi said: "Yes, Dao Ye is very powerful, Dao Ye usually rarely says wrong, understandable, this is certainly understandable, he will definitely not be wrong in this matter today, so Dao Ye, you continue, continue to tell the story of the mountain spirit." ”

Xie Toad touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the voice coming from this mountain may have nothing to do with the mountain spirit." ”

Wang Qilin stretched out his hands, and Bameow squatted on the ground and spread his hands.

Xie Toad said: "Who would have thought that there is a tomb at the bottom of this mountain, and this is someone digging the wall to prepare to rob the tomb?"

These words shocked people at once.

Wang Qilin was stunned: "Ah, someone is robbing the tomb?"

Xie Toad nodded and said, "That's right. ”

Wang Qilin smiled and said: "I can understand this, there are so many coffins in this place, it should be a place where all the deceased of a certain tribe in Dahei Mountain are concentrated, this is a place like the ancestral grave of a certain clan, right?"

"So if someone wants to rob a tomb, shouldn't they climb into the coffin hole and open the coffin to get their belongings?

Xie Toad said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, it's very simple, the funeral goods of the Great Black Mountain people are not in these coffins, if anyone opens the coffin and wants to steal the contents of the coffin, it is really similar to looking for death." ”

"Why do you say that? Because these coffins are called black coffins, and in them are not only the corpses of the people, but also the poison that they have kept all their lives. These poisons are confessional, and the food must have the essence of the master in the blood before they are allowed to eat. ”

"When the master dies, the clan will put them in a coffin and let them eat the flesh and blood of the master. They will eat all of their master's flesh and fall into a deep sleep, which is enough to sustain them for a long time, until someone opens the coffin, and they wake up and attack the person who opened it. ”

"Till death rest!"

"These are black coffins, and the corresponding to the black coffin is the white coffin, and there are treasures in the white coffins, and what are the treasures of the mountain people in Daheidong?

"The ordinary poisonous insects they raise will be put into the black coffin to guard the corpse, but the natal poisonous insects will be sent into the white coffin, so the white coffin is of great value!"

Wang Qilin never knew that there was such a thing, he had checked the customs of Jiuli Mountain and Shu County, but he had not checked the customs of Dahei Mountain.

In fact, he also had a chance to contact Dahei Tong because he offended Jiuli Tong and wanted to take a detour.

By this time the rain had stopped, and they all left the coffin cave and gathered.

Wang Qilin told everyone the news he got from Xie Toad's mouth, and everyone was amazed.

Only Ma Ming nodded in agreement: "Dao Ye is really well-informed, Dahei Mountain does have such a custom, they attach great importance to tombs, and believe that after death, people do not go to the underworld to be reincarnated, but fall into a quiet sleep." ”

In their view, death is not an end, but the beginning of another way of life, and people fall into a deep sleep, so they regard disturbing the deceased as an unforgivable sin that is punishable by death if caught. ”

"It is also for this reason that they do not put anything valuable in the coffin of the deceased to prevent it from being coveted, they will put poison in the coffin, so that the poison will guard the peaceful life of the deceased. ”

"Yes, Master Ma, how do you know these things?" asked Xu Da.

Ma Ming grinned and said: "Xu Ye praised falsely, when he sent his brother's bones back to his hometown before his humble position, he once went to the 100,000 Great Mountain, which borders this mountain, and some people know the rumors of Dahei Mountain, and they have traveled with them and heard these rumors. ”

Chen Weiyue fell to the ground and said rarely: "Then according to what you said, let's take shelter from the rain on other people's graves, does this count as disturbing the deceased?"

Ma Ming smiled dryly: "Don't count, right?"

Xu Da said proudly: "What's the matter? That's what the uncle did, they were unhappy, let them get the uncle." ”

Chen Weiyue nodded: "Here, I'm about to get it." ”
