The glowing gourd was stuck two feet high on the mountain wall, and the four brothers summed it up, and finally ran to the top of the mountain wall, and hung it from the top with a hemp rope to get the glowing treasure.

After getting the treasure, the four of them found that it was indeed a gourd, a red gourd made of jade, and on this gourd, there were also unknown strange characters engraved on it.

In addition, at the mouth of the gourd, there is also a small gold medal that has been wound by a red rope several times, and the gold medal is also engraved with unknown characters.

"This must be gold. ”

Liao Bujin, who took off the gourd, took a few closer glances at the treasure in his hand, and finally stopped at the small gold medal on the gourd and asked.

"Take it off and take a bite, won't you?"

Liao Ji said a word, and hurriedly took the gourd in Liao Bujin's hand and untied the gold medal tied to the mouth of the gourd.

Taking off the small gold medal, he put it in his mouth and bit it, his face showed a hint of joy, and when he was about to speak, the jade gourd in his hand suddenly exploded with a 'boom', and then a cloud of black gas rushed out of it.

The explosion of the gourd directly blew Liao Ji back two feet away and fell to the ground, and the three people around him were also affected by the sudden explosion and fell to the ground.

After the black gas flying out of the gourd appeared, it landed on the ground not far away, turning into a little old man in a gray robe, with white hair and white eyebrows.

"Wowha~"

The little old man looked up to the sky and let out a wild laugh, and the four brothers surnamed Liao, who were blown to the ground by the gourd, showed panic on their faces after seeing the old man who suddenly appeared.

The four of them got up from the ground, gathered together, and quietly looked at the gray-robed old man.

Looking at the little old man, he just looked up to the sky with his back to the four people and laughed, as if he was very happy, completely ignoring the four people behind him.

"Old ~ old immortal!"

Seeing the old man's clothes fluttering with his back to him, quite a bit of an immortal, and he only cared about laughing, Liao Ping had the courage to call out.

The old immortal called out, and the little old man's laughter stopped suddenly, and then he turned around and looked at the four of them.

"I've been suppressed for so many years, and as soon as I came out, there were four groups of tender and delicious food for me to recover my strength, wahahaha~"

The little old man let out a wild laugh, and then turned into a gray python with the thickness of an adult embracing him, and opened his huge mouth to pounce on the four brothers surnamed Liao.

Seeing this sudden scene, the four brothers turned around and ran, but they didn't run a hundred steps before they were swallowed by the gray python into their stomachs.

"Hiss~"

The gray python spat out a bright red snake and let out a hiss, and then transformed into the little old man in the gray robe before, and walked into the mountains and forests with his hands behind his back.

Outside this mountain forest, there is a small village called Datian Village, and the four brothers surnamed Liao are the people in this village.

The village is located in a relatively remote area, and there are no other villages and towns within a radius of dozens of miles.

The population of this Ota village is mixed and large, unlike ordinary small villages, there are 13 people with surnames and more than 400 farming families.

The village is built haphazardly around the edge of the mountain and is not neatly planned.

......

At sunset on the third day after the four brothers surnamed Liao entered the mountain, an unfamiliar figure appeared on the edge of Datian Village.

The figure was a low, old man in a gray robe, who stood on a large rock at the entrance of the village, looking at the whole village from afar, with a satisfied smile on his face.

At this time, a boy who went out to herd cattle rode through the entrance of the village, saw a strange old man standing on the stone, looked at it curiously, and rode back to the village.

When the boy returned home, he told his parents about the strange little old man he saw at the entrance of the village, but the elders didn't care, just pedestrians passing by.

As night fell, there was no entertainment in this remote country place, and the villagers, as usual, closed their doors and rested after dinner.

In Ota Village, which is shrouded in night, there are occasional dog barks, the sound of a woman wheezing, and the dream whispers of children......

The night in the village passed as usual, and outside the village, the little old man in the gray robe made a full circle around the entire outskirts of Ota Village.

After walking a whole circle around the village, the little old man returned to the big rock at the entrance of the village, looked up at the moonlight in the sky, and walked into the village with his hands behind his back.

The people who have local dogs in the village do not put their dogs in the house when it is dark, so the night dogs wandering in the village will run to the front and bark at the strange little old man when they see him.

"Noise. ”

The barking of the earth dog reached the ears of the little old man, and he spit out two words impatiently, and then before the dog barked a second time, he directly strangled the dog to death in the air.

In the middle of Datian Village, there is an ancient well, that well has been some years old, and now no one in the village knows what year and month it was dug, anyway, in recent decades, the well has not produced water, so the village people sealed the mouth of the well with a few tree trunks.

After a round in the village, the little old man finally stopped at the edge of the abandoned well, only to see him wave his hand at the mouth of the well, and the thick tree trunks covering the well were waved aside by him.

Walked to the mouth of the well, looked down, the little old man jumped, jumped to the well, he fell into the well, there was no movement in the ancient well, until the second half of the night, a gray python came out of the well.

The big gray python that the old man turned into was destroyed in the village of Ota at a speed that was visible in the blink of an eye, and in less than half an hour, a village that was originally intact was turned into an abandoned village.

More than 400 households in the village, nearly 2,000 people, were also buried under the ruins with the destruction of the gray python, turning into resentful spirits.

The next day, some villagers who had gone out to hunt in the mountains returned to the village, and they saw the ruined scene of the village from a distance, but when they entered the village, they could not get out of it.

Since then, this Datian Village has become a ghost village, occasionally pedestrians passing by on the official road outside the village, often can find many snakes and pythons of different sizes passing by, and also hear a strange sound from the village, look carefully, but find that the broken village is not inhabited.

After the news gradually spread, naturally no one dared to come to this village, and the occasional passer-by who passed by on the road outside the village only walked quickly, and no passer-by dared to enter this abandoned village.

In the summer of this year, along the official road outside the village, there was a young man in a red robe walking fast on this road.

The young man's steps looked very brisk, and the expression on his face was very relaxed, as if this rush was not difficult for him, this young man was Zhou Qing who had just left Jinling County not long ago.

After walking along this not too spacious road for a while, suddenly five figures rushed out of the mountain forest on the side of the road and stopped in front of him.

"Hit ~ hit ~ rob. ”

After being stopped, a fierce bearded man stammered at Zhou Qing and spit out this sentence.
