After driving all day, Xiao Shan was tired and hungry. The host was preparing the meal. Xiao Shan asked him what his surname was, and he said it, but Xiao Shan didn't understand. I'm really embarrassed to ask again. Xiao Shan will call him "Lao Zhuang", it seems to be this pronunciation.

Lao Zhuang has a family of four, and he and his wife have two daughters. The two daughters both work in the county, and they are usually at home.

His wife didn't speak, she was busy next to her, and she just smiled when she heard us talking about her. Xiao Shan thought that her Mandarin might be even more unspeakable, but it could be seen that this was a very simple old couple. It may also be that Xiao Shan is really hungry, and this meal is very delicious.

After eating and chatting with Lao Zhuang for a while, Xiao Shan went back to his room to sleep, this sleep was so heavy, the oxygen in the mountains was really abundant, plus the deep tranquility. These are things that you can't enjoy in the city.

Early the next morning, I was woken up by the chirping of birds outside. It was such a good night's sleep. This scenic spot is not very big, the so-called several scenic spots are basically pure nature, primeval forests, mountain scenes, streams, meadows, etc., all of which are watched without using up in a day.

Originally, Xiaoshan didn't come to the landscape here, Xiaoshan just wanted to enjoy the quiet and quaint atmosphere here, just to let himself have a good rest. I should say I've found the right place.

Come back in the evening and eat and chat with Lao Zhuang and his wife. Through this day's contact, I am already very familiar with Lao Zhuang, and my speech is also very speculative.

Before nine o'clock, Xiao Shan went back to his room to enjoy that refreshing sleep. It was not yet nine o'clock, but it was already dark in the mountains.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Shan woke up with urine, and glanced at his phone dimly, about half past eleven.

I slept for only two hours. At that time, I was sleepy, and I was really reluctant to get up, and the bathroom was outside the bamboo building.

After getting dressed, I went out of the bamboo building, and as soon as I got out of the bamboo building, I was blown by the cool breeze in the mountain night, and I woke up at once.

After going to the bathroom, I was no longer sleepy. Seeing that there were still teapots and teacups on the table in the courtyard where we drank tea after dinner, Xiao Shan sat on a wicker chair and drank tea by himself. Lao Zhuang and his family have already slept. The precincts are quieter.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Shan sat quietly under the bamboo tower of the mountain, looking up at the bustling city, the round moon hung quietly in the sky, Xiao Shan seemed to be integrated into this quiet universe. Xiao Shan quietly reveled and enjoyed......

Suddenly, I felt a red light rising into the sky in the mountains on the left side of Xiaoshan! When Xiao Shan looked back, it was still that secluded mountain, quietly as if nothing had happened. However, Xiao Shan saw it, Xiao Shan sensed it, and he would never be mistaken. There must be a problem!

It's just that it appeared too suddenly and disappeared too quickly. Xiao Shan adjusted his direction, facing his face in the direction of the mountain on the left, and sensed it with his mind. But it's strange, most of the places where the demons are located are in harmony with the earth's qi, gathering qi and forming it. The evil heart is always there, and the demonic spirit is always there. As long as there is a large amount of evil qi gathered and formed, and it is not far from Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan should be able to sense it. Why don't you feel it?

In a trance, I saw a red light rise again, and it was fleeting. This time, I can see it clearly, evil qi! Extremely heavy evil qi! How can such a peaceful place have such a heavy "evil qi"? It shouldn't be.

According to Xiao Shan's experience, the appearance of "evil qi" is generally caused by "evil earth", and "evil earth" will inspire or incarnate corresponding "fierce gods and evil spirits" things.

Such a heavy evil qi as just now corresponds to a large piece of "evil ground". Judging from the "evil qi" emitted just now, this "fierce god and evil" thing has already been formed, and it is not comparable to ordinary spirits, it should have gathered into a demon.

But if there really is such a big monster in this vicinity, then there will often be killings and bloody things in this area. It won't be so peaceful and calm. Could it be that there is really a murderous motive behind this tranquility?

The first thing Xiao Shan will do tomorrow is to go to the mountain where the "evil qi" appears and find out the "evil land".

Then find out the monster that "gathered and formed". Help the locals get rid of this scourge. Originally, Xiao Shan thought that this was a very simple thing for Xiao Shan. Find the demon and deal with it.

Xiaoshan should rest and rest, and sleep and sleep. Who knows, it took Xiao Shan the whole holiday time to deal with it. And the result of this incident made Xiao Shan feel uncomfortable when he thought about it now......

The next day, Xiao Shan got up early in the morning and saw that Lao Zhuang and his family had already gotten up to make breakfast. After breakfast, Xiao Shan asked Lao Zhuang if he could accompany Xiao Shan out for a walk today? Lao Zhuang happily agreed.

When he went out, Xiao Shan pointed to the mountain and said to Lao Zhuang: Lao Zhuang, I want to take a walk in that mountain. What are the scenery there?

Lao Zhuang looked at the direction of Xiao Shan's finger and seemed to be secretly taken aback, and looked at Xiao Shan with a little puzzlement and said: There is no scenery over there, there is only one lake, which has not yet been developed, called "Wild Elephant Lake".

Xiao Shan said: Oh, so that's the case, then you can work hard to accompany me to see it? Lao Zhuang hesitated, and finally nodded, and said: Okay, I'll accompany you on a trip, but when we get to the "Wild Elephant Lake", we have to go back and can't go any further, and then we will go deep in the primeval forest, and there is danger.

As we walked and chatted, Lao Zhuang told Xiaoshan that this place had been a large primeval forest for a long time, and it was a habitat for wild elephants, and there were herds of wild elephants living here.

But now the forests have been destroyed in large quantities, and the wild elephants have almost all been killed. There is no sign of wild elephants again. As I walked into the mountains, the further I went, the more lush the trees became, and the greenery became.

After climbing over the two hills, standing on the top of the mountain, I saw a turquoise water in the middle of the valley ahead. Lao Zhuang pointed there and told Xiaoshan: That is the "Wild Elephant Lake", which is the place where there were the most wild elephants back then.

Xiao Shan stood on the top of the mountain, carefully observing the surrounding terrain and landforms. If there really is such a large piece of "bad ground", it is obvious that it can be seen.

If the evil aura is strong, the surrounding grass and trees will not be able to withstand it, and the grass and trees around it will be as if they had been burned by fire, and most of them will be yellow and red dead flowers. No matter how heavy the evil qi is, the whole mountain will be barren and the rocks will look rugged and hideous.

But now looking at this piece of lake and mountains, the eyes are full of green, and that "evil land" is impossible to hide in it. Xiao Shan looked at the mountains in the distance and hesitated...... Is it still behind this mountain ahead?

In front of the lake is a high hill, on which there are several villages, there are not many people in the villages, and each village has about twenty or thirty bamboo buildings and zero cities gathered together. It's still that peaceful, serene feeling. Xiao Shan said to Lao Zhuang: Can you accompany me to the hill in front of me to have a look?

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhuang waved his hand in horror and shouted loudly: Don't go! Don't go! Let's go back quickly! There is nothing to see, there is no scenery at all!

Xiao Shan saw Lao Zhuang's frightened appearance, and thought silently in his heart: What a demon, even ordinary people like Lao Zhuang have been affected so much, it can be seen that the days of its scourge in the world are not short. Now that I'm here, I'm going to get rid of this scourge for everything.

Xiao Shan said to Lao Zhuang: Lao Zhuang, what is so terrible about scaring you like this? Isn't it just to accompany me to the opposite hill for a walk? That's it, if you really don't want to go, then I won't force you, Xiao Shan will come back after taking a look for yourself, you just wait for me here, how about it?

As soon as Lao Zhuang heard this, he immediately felt a sense of relief, as if his whole body suddenly relaxed.

Lao Zhuang pointed to the hill in front of Xiao Shan and said: The mountain in front, the locals call it "Elephant Mountain", to think of the "Elephant Mountain" must pass through the "Wild Elephant Lake", after the "Wild Elephant Lake" there are two roads to the top of the mountain.

One is a shortcut road from the village across the lake to the top of the mountain, and the other is a road to the top of the mountain if you go right after crossing the "Wild Elephant Lake", which is farther away. But you must take the road on the right and do not cross the village.

Xiao Shan asked strangely: Why do you have to take a long road instead of a short road?

Lao Zhuang waved his hand impatiently: Don't ask yet, just do as I say, it's also for your own good, I'll tell you the reason when I get home. Saying that, Lao Zhuang found a branch and sat down.

Xiao Shan walked in the direction he pointed. After walking a short distance, I heard Lao Zhuang still shouting, "Don't take the middle road."

Xiaoshan walked down the valley and came to the "Wild Elephant Lake", in fact, the "Wild Elephant Lake" is very beautiful, the lake is not very big, a pool of lake water is rippling, but the lake is not repaired, some weeds are accompanied by the trees, but there is a primitive beauty that has not been carved. Looking up at the "Elephant Mountain", there is a village on the mountainside where the road passes in the middle, where more than 30 bamboo buildings can be gathered together, surrounded by lush trees.

It's certainly not where the "bad ground" is.

A path on the right is hidden between the trees, and you can't see the direction of the way. Let's go to the top of the mountain first, finding the "bad land" is the goal, and Xiao Shan walked along the path on the right to the top of the mountain.

Although "Xiangshan" is not high from a distance, it is still a little difficult for people who habitually live in a big city like Xiaoshan.

Xiao Shan panted and climbed to the top of the mountain, fortunately, "Elephant Mountain" is a relatively high altitude in this mountain, and the surrounding mountains can be seen at a glance. Xiao Shan looked at it carefully and sensed. I don't feel it. Only the echo of the valley where the wind blows the trees, the cicadas chirp and the birds chirp. Everything is normal and peaceful.

It's so strange that that evil aura is coming from this direction.

I haven't encountered this kind of thing before, and it seems that things are not that simple. Xiao Shan had no choice but to go down the mountain to meet Lao Zhuang and return home together.

This day of tossing over the mountains and mountains, the whole body was sore, and the most depressing thing was to toss for a day in vain. When I got home, it was almost dinner time.

After dinner and tea, Xiao Shan and Lao Zhuang sat at the table and chatted. I asked about the "Elephant Mountain" during the day.

The old couple looked solemn and sad. His wife was even more sad, and hid her face and walked back into the house. In the courtyard, only Xiao Shan and Lao Zhuang sat quietly under the bamboo building covered by red lights, and the mountain wind blew the trees and made a rustling sound.

None of us spoke. At this time, Xiao Shan felt that he was very cruel, Lao Zhuang wanted to talk about the past that was very painful for him, it must be the past that he did not want to recall, Xiao Shan seemed to reopen his wounds.

Seeing Lao Zhuang silently silent for a long time, Xiao Shan wanted to say to him several times: If you don't want to recall the past, forget it, don't talk about it.
