"Sister Yurou, let's go down the mountain to find the second brother. Sleeping until midnight, Jingchen, who woke up from a dream, saw Li Ge going down the mountain alone, holding Lin Yurou's arm sitting by the fire with both hands and shaking it.

"Wait until dawn, and if he hasn't returned, we'll go down the mountain to find him. Lin Yurou looked at the little monk beside her and replied softly, and the already sad look on her beautiful face became more and more solemn.

When the little monk heard this, he had to nod helplessly, and then the two sat quietly by the fire, staring at the bonfire, hoping that the young man under the mountain would come back soon.

Time passed quietly, and I don't know how long it took, there was a rush of footsteps behind the two people beside the fire, and then a thin figure came out of the dark mountain forest and walked quickly towards the fire.

"Second Brother" and "Li Ge" Jingchen and Lin Yurou next to the fire heard the footsteps, stood up at the same time, turned their heads to look back, and saw the young man walking towards them.

Seeing the two people who got up at the same time, Li Ge smiled slightly, walked to the fire and sat down.

"Second brother, did you find anything at the bottom of the mountain?" Jingchen took out a bamboo vessel filled with water from his baggage and handed it to Li Ge.

Hearing the little monk's inquiry, Li Ge's face sank, and he took the bamboo utensils in his hand and thought for a while, before he spoke, "The town under the mountain is very strange, I didn't meet any evil spirits down there just now, but ......"

"But what second brother?" Hearing Li Ge's words, he stopped halfway, and Jingchen hurriedly asked.

"When I came down the mountain, I didn't see the town we saw on the mountainside, and I can't tell why. Li Ge stared at the bonfire, his eyes full of confusion.

"The town I saw at the bottom of the mountain is different from what I see on the mountainside?" Lin Yurou, who was listening silently on the side, muttered to herself in confusion, turned her head to look at the young man with a confused face, and immediately sat quietly and pondered.

Seeing this, the little monk didn't ask, stretched out his fat little hand and grabbed his round and bald head, and then sat quietly on the side holding a string of Buddhist beads and silently recited the scriptures.

The three of them stood still by the fire until a glimmer of light rose in the sky, and the fog cleared, breaking the silence with a cry from the belly of the pure dust.

"Hungry?" Li Ge smiled and looked at the little monk who was sitting quietly on the side, and then took out the dry food from the baggage that was placed aside.

"Amitabha! The little monk is indeed a little hungry. Jingchen answered, and then ate the steamed buns handed to him by Li Ge. While eating, he asked in his mouth, "Second brother, will we go down the mountain after we finish eating?"

"Go down the mountain?" Li Ge, who was about to stuff the steamed bun into his mouth, suddenly stopped, he glanced at Lin Yurou, thought for a while and then said, "Don't worry, your sister Yurou said that the dense fog in this mountain is gathered by the formation, and we will finish eating in a while, and we will go around in this mountain forest first." After finding out the reason for this, we went down the mountain. ”

After Lige's words were finished, the other two nodded in default. After a while, the three of them cleaned up the line, put out the fire, and went into the fog forest under the leadership of Lin Yurou.

The fog in the mountains and forests was very thick, and the visibility was only less than ten steps, Li Ge led Jingchen and followed behind Lin Yurou, with a distance of two or three steps in between, and walked in the direction of entering the mountains and forests yesterday afternoon.

The road in the mountain forest was rough and full of thorns, and after walking in the forest for about half an hour, the three of them came out of the thick fog and stood on a halfway up the mountainside.

"Sister Yurou, isn't the direction you took us in the direction of going out?, how did you come here?" Standing halfway up the mountain, Jingchen glanced at the abandoned town at the foot of the mountain, and found that he was now on the southern mountainside of the abandoned town at the foot of the mountain, that is, opposite the direction of entering the fog forest yesterday.

"It seems that someone has really laid a big formation here, this kind of big formation, it is estimated that it will take my aunt a long time to lay out, if you want to break the formation here, I am afraid it will take some time. Lin Yurou looked at the abandoned town under the mountain in a daze, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain first, and then we will come up to break the formation in the mountain." ”

As Lin Yurou's words came out, the three of them walked from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain together. After half an hour, they finally came to the foot of the leveled mountain.

Looking at the ruined abandoned town, Li Ge raised his hand and pointed to a branch a few steps away, and said, "That branch was put there last night, you go behind the branch and take a look." ”

"Amitabha!" Jingchen recited the Buddha's name and took the lead in moving forward. Then Lin Yurou also moved the lotus step lightly and took a few steps forward behind him.

Coming to the dust behind the branches, his expression was even more exaggerated than last night, and after staring at the abandoned town for a moment, he took a few steps back quickly.

And Lin Yurou walked behind the branch, and there was a look of surprise on her face. Then, the look of surprise on her face slowly froze, turning into an extremely complex color of doubt and worry.

"Second brother, how can there be anyone in that town?" Jingchen, who retreated to Li Ge's side, pointed to the deserted town in front of him at this time, and said in a panicked tone.

"People?" Hearing the little monk's words, Li Ge hurriedly walked behind the branches. Immediately, his face showed the same expression on his face as last night, when he first saw this strange abandoned town.

At this time, the town in front of him was the same as last night, the streets were still clean and the houses were intact. It's just that at this moment, there are still some people scattered on the streets of the town, some of these people are standing on the side of the street chatting in groups of three or five, and some are sitting in pairs of twos and twos, chatting next to the houses on the side of the street. In addition, next to a small tree not far from the wide street, a dog can be seen spreading material on the tree. This strange scene seemed so real that neither the people on the street nor the domestic animals could see anything unusual.

"Second ~ Second brother, did you see these last night~ last night?" Jingchen walked behind the branch and stood beside Li Ge.

"I came last night and only found the town intact, but I didn't see these people. Jingchen's words brought the surprised Li Gra back to reality, and after he replied to the little monk, he moved his gaze to Lin Yurou beside him.

The woman stared at the town with a complicated expression on her face and a furrowed brow for a moment, then retreated behind the branches. Seeing this, Li Ge hurriedly pulled the clean dust and retreated.

Seeing the woman's tightly knit brows, Li Ge asked softly, "Yurou, do you see something?"

"I ......" After Lin Yurou spit out a word, she lowered her head and was silent for a long time, before finally raising her head and saying in an uncertain tone, "This town should also be a formation, my aunt once told me about a formation, which is extremely similar to this town." If that's the case, I'm afraid there is a master here. ”

"Master, Sister Yurou, what is the formation in this town, and what does it have to do with the master?" Jingchen heard Lin Yurou's words, and his already puzzled face became even more confused at this time.
