Volume 1 Xanadu Chapter 5 Dead Silence

Not much time passed.

In less than a month. Li Hu returned to this small village.

And with Li Hu, there is also a construction team led by a wealthy businessman.

They stayed in the village for a few days and hired some of the able-bodied men of the village.

Your good price allowed the men to go with them to the mountain, where the first temple of immortality was established soon after.

And it wasn't long before people began to have adventures in the first temple of immortality, and in other places where strange clods of earth or stone were present.

They claim that they met the immortals there, and that the changes in their bodies made people more and more convinced of the legends of the immortals.

And with the spread of these messages. In the future, more and more wealthy businessmen will begin to flock to this immortal mountain.

And when the news of the existence of immortals in Changsheng Mountain began to spread around. Around the other rocks or clods of earth on that mountain, eight immortal views were quickly established.

After that, there were naturally occasional encounters with immortals, and without exception, although they did not get real immortality, they were much stronger.

And for those businessmen who are rich, although they hope to get immortality, if even if they can't get immortality, their health can get better and live a few more years, then it is also a very good choice, after all, at their point, the money is not exhausted. What they value most now is not money, but their bodies. Being able to live a long time is the greatest achievement.

Then came the scene described earlier. Come, more and more people flock to everything in the mountains.

But the back mountain is still a forbidden place for ordinary people.

However, what ordinary people don't know is that Li Hu, as the owner of the first Immortal Concept, not only gave the remaining eight Immortal Views, but also a wooden stake for each Immortal Concept.

And the other eight masters of the Immortal Meditation need to send the incense ashes used by the pilgrims to Li Hu's Immortal Immortal Observatory every day, as for what Li Hu uses them, it is not for them to know, and they don't want to know, what they care about is only the money that is counted every day.

And whenever the sun sets, the other eight Taoist temples will rent some of the places where the Taoist temples can live to those who stay on the mountain.

And the first immortal temple built on the top of the mountain will immediately close the door at sunset every day.

In fact, for many immortal seekers under the mountain, the first immortal view is more like an immortal temple, because there, the incense does not need a lot of money to buy, and the price is about the same as that under the mountain, and the view of the lord who regards money as dung and the wind is light, compared with the other eight who are eager to get into the eyes of the money, it seems to have a more immortal spirit.

And Li Hu, the first immortal contemplator who was highly respected by everyone, would carry a huge box at a very fast speed every day after sunset. Began to run towards the back mountain. The forbidden land in the eyes of ordinary people. Li Hu often comes and goes freely.

About a quarter of an hour later, the entrance to the cave where Li Hu had been. Li Hu's figure appeared here again.

But this time, he didn't choose to enter here as desperately as before.

Instead, he began to move towards the innermost part of the road, and soon, your tiger appeared in front of the stone gate again.

At this time, the lines on the stone door had already dimmed, and the lines that used to be could only be vaguely seen now.

Li Hu pushed open the stone door and walked in, and it was now dark, boundless darkness, without any light.

And these darkness did not seem to block Li Hu's sight, and Li Hu came to the former pool with ease.

The former pool had dried up completely, and it was now empty.

However, if you look closely, you will see that the pool seems to be much shallower than before.

Li Hu put down the box behind him and poured the contents of the box into the pool.

It was a whole box of incense ashes.

The reason for the shallow edge of the pool is naturally that it is constantly filled with boxes of incense ash.

Of course, there can't be only one box of incense ash every day, and after putting a box of incense ash into this pool, Li Hu will return to the first temple at a very fast speed.

After that, Li Hu would once again carry a box of incense ashes in the surprised eyes of some of the immortal seekers around the first view, and began to walk while scattering the incense ashes, and the incense ashes would not be dispersed directly in the air, and began to follow Li Hu's footsteps and began to form specific lines in the mountains.

For Li Hu's strange behavior, naturally someone would come forward to ask, but as the viewer of the first Taoist temple, Li Hu just shook his head with a smile at the person who asked. And then continue to follow strange routes one after another.

And in the eyes of ordinary people, Li Hu's strange behavior made them. Thinking that this was doing the Daofa, naturally he didn't dare to bother anymore.

Even sometimes when there is someone in the direction of Li Hu's advance, that person will take the initiative to avoid it and make way for Li Hu.

And a month and a half of such time quickly passed.

And on this night, the morning fog that should have appeared early in the morning suddenly rose in the night.

And in those Taoist temples, the wooden stakes that were originally used to plant incense began to turn blood red.

And those who stayed in the mountains also soon found that the lines left on the road that Li Hu usually walked on began to glow at this time, but it was not white light, and those originally white incense ashes began to flicker with an inexplicable black light under the moonlight, black and shiny, and it looked out of place in the forest that was illuminated by the moonlight like a layer of hoarfrost.

In the first immortal view, with the continuous loss of blood, Li Hu's body began to become crumbling, swaying left and right, but he never fell, and the small wound on his hand did not gradually stop bleeding like ordinary people, and the blood was still flowing.

"Knock ......"

Li Hu's body still fell, and the moment before he fell. The stake had turned completely blood-red.

Immediately after, on this mountain, the lines in those mountains began to suddenly emit a strong black light.

Those who were not far from the foot of the mountain began to run desperately down the mountain. But they soon discovered something, a fact that made them extremely uneasy.

Can't get out.

The whole mountain seems to have been sealed.

They didn't know what was going to happen, but the black lines made them feel uneasy, and they wanted to get out, but they couldn't.

After a slight tremor, the whole mountain began to fall silent.

..................

early morning

When a rooster crowed, Xingcun, no, this place that will soon be renamed Xingzhen, began to become lively one after another.

Puffs of smoke began to rise, and the workers who had been hired by the wealthy merchants to build the houses began to work in an orderly manner.

And groups of immortal seekers began to set off to Changsheng Mountain.

This time, however, these people did not stay in the mountains for several days, as they had done before, and they soon returned to the village.

They saw a scene they couldn't believe.

On that mountain of immortality, there were bones everywhere, and there was not a single person alive. Not even human beings, not even a single other life.

The whole mountain was dead, there were only white bones, and there was no one in those Taoist temples at this time. On the floor of the hall lay white bones, and the stones and clods of earth that were enshrined were all broken.

The stake, which was used to plant incense, was also turned to ashes, but the ashes were not the color of wood, but red like blood.

Hearing such news, many people collapsed on the spot. For on the mountain, there were their husbands, friends, relatives, and some very young children who began to cry because some of their parents had gone to the mountain. And there are also parents who want to treat their young and frail children, who do not want to make their children better, but they stay forever on the so-called mountain of eternal life with their children.

Li Hu

That's right, looking for Li Hu

The monk can't run the temple, I don't know who said a word to find Li Hu first, so people began to rush to Li Hu's house together, and Li Hu's home, only his wife is alone, and these people who have lost their minds naturally don't care that this is just a woman's family.

All they know is that this is Li Hu's wife.

They don't care if the woman knows it or not.

All they need now is a tool that they can take their wrath for granted.

..................

Finally, some of the more sensible people suddenly remembered that in this village, there would be a night watchman every day.

And according to the Night's Watchman's description:

That night

The moonlight was exceptionally bright.

And on Changsheng Mountain, white fog began to appear. Soon it enveloped the entire Immortal Mountain, making the entire Immortal Mountain. It looks like a fairyland.

If it weren't for the fact that he was really old. It was too late to get to the mountain. He might go to that mountain to look for the immortals too.

But now that I think about it, I can't help but feel a little lucky.

Almost, don't say anything about immortality. He may not even be able to keep this old bone on his body.

At that time, he was far away from Changsheng Mountain, and at that time he thought it was an auditory hallucination. Now that I think about it, it was probably the last cry for help from the people on the mountain.

But he couldn't say these words, and if he didn't save him when he died, he couldn't be charged with this crime on his head. As a night watchman, he has guarded the peace of the village for many years, and he cannot fail to save a night at the last minute.

Those people are now out of their minds. One by one, their eyes were red. If it weren't for the fear that his old bones would fall apart, at the speed of his speech. Those people would have wanted to take him apart, to open his mind and see what he had seen that night.

That night

After the sounds that were supposed to be the last cries for help ceased.

There was a slight tremor throughout the mountain.

You are he just keeping a vigil around this small village, although it is not noticeable. But it does exist.

Afterwards. He saw that the white mist on the mountains began to change.

Suddenly, bursts of red light began to glow from the white mist in the moonlight.

The blood-red ..................
