On the other end, Xi Yu was wandering around the mountain, looking left and right. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's so quiet. ”

The beasts ran like a plague, migrating to the mountains, the old trees in the mountains were towering, the green vines were entangled, but the dense forest was quiet, it seemed that all the creatures had fled, not even the sparse cicadas and insects, and they were as lonely as death.

Xi Yu was so panicked in his heart that he had to talk to himself, broke off a branch as a whip, and threw it around, making a tiger and a tiger whirring.

He didn't know how far he had gone, but he remembered that he had never gone so deep, and everything around him began to become strange, all of them were ancient timber wolf forests, lush and very dense.

The empty mountains are faint, the sun is dim, sprinkled with gentle golden light, and a thin mist rises in the grass forest, which is beautiful and like a mirage.

Suddenly, Xi Yu seemed to find some movement, he leaned his ears to listen, it seemed that there was a group of people whispering, the voice was very low, but Xi Yu couldn't see anything in front of him except the tree, he heard the sound to find the source, but this secret voice disappeared after Xi Yu approached, as if hallucinating.

Xi Yu blinked, a little in a trance, thinking that he had encountered the mountain god hidden?

Since ancient times, there will be people in the mountains who have disappeared inexplicably, even if the villagers of the settlements under the mountain beat gongs and drums, shouting names and searching can not be found, so they have disappeared out of thin air, the line is unknown, as if there has been no such person in the world, people think that it is hidden by gods and monsters, and brought to the paradise.

There are many folk sayings, the villages at the foot of the mountain are even more ancient word of mouth, some say that it is the land lord, some say that it is the mountain demon grandmother, and some say that it is the fox fairy yellow skin, what kind of messy fabricated gods and spirits have.

As for the fate of the missing people, there is often no news, life and death are uncertain, so many people are dumbfounded, and no one knows their whereabouts, whether they are happy or cold.

The foolish people in the mountains don't know a single word, they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they all have a heart of awe for the mountains and forests.

When Xi Yu was a child, his Uncle Huzi once told him in a vivid voice, which made him so frightened that he stayed at home and obediently divided for several days.

At that time, he was greedy and secretly ran to the mountains alone, it was dark and he got lost, squatted under the tree and shivered, he remembered it in a cranky way, he was afraid and yearning, and he felt that there were many demons and monsters in the darkness who were watching him, commenting, weighing where the meat was delicious, but the result was only found and carried back by the old man Xi with a torch, and naturally it was indispensable to be scolded and hit the butt twice.

Later, he carried a basket on his back to collect medicine, and it became common for him to sleep in the mountains overnight, but he had never encountered such a strange thing as today, and the whispers from the forest were very ethereal, as if they were about to leave, as if they sounded in the sky and seemed to be close at hand.

Xi Yu had the courage to look at the good students around, and there was no movement, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, pouting, it seems that if there are really gods in the mountains, he doesn't want to entertain himself, a familiar and evil guest who visits every day.

He continued to walk towards the verdant deep forest, there were a lot of harvests along the way, wild medicinal herbs can be seen everywhere, grabbed a handful, he picked and picked, dug up a few pieces of yellow essence that was quite old, and the small basket was no longer fluttering.

Xi Yu was proud of his wisdom, and felt that he had discovered a new world, which was a treasure trove, why didn't he think of it before, he had played all over the shallow mountains around the village, and the ones that could be used for medicine in a few years were almost finished, and the herbs were becoming more and more difficult to find, and this inaccessible deep mountain and old forest was very different.

In the past, his grandfather always drew a line, not allowed him to go deep, afraid of poisonous snakes and beasts, Xi Yu once in early spring thought of taking advantage of the hibernation of wild beasts in the mountains to break in, was bitten by a bamboo leaf green out of the hole, unconscious in the snow, lying unconscious on the bed for more than ten days, it was fortunate that he did not freeze to death, burning incense and worshiping God was saved, the old man Xi who carried him back did not say anything, and Xi Yu, who had closed the ghost door for a while, was obedient a lot.

But now all the beasts are running away, it is that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king, but it is cheap Xi Yu.

Xi Yu was full of spring breeze, and he didn't feel tired after trekking all the way, and pouted his butt to dig out the roots and wild ginseng, which was shaped like a villain, with a long beard, and looked pink and lovely.

He happily put it away, put it under the basket, and estimated how many strings of copper plates would have to be exchanged if it was sold to the pharmacy in the city.

Thinking of the fragrant pig's head meat concocted by the ancestral time-honored craft, Xi Yu was greedy, sucked back the saliva, smiled happily, and made up his mind to fill the basket and then go home.

When he walked to a slope, Xi Yu got carried away, but he was very happy and sad, his feet suddenly stepped on the air, his body slipped, and he fell down, on the way down, he was in a hurry, and subconsciously wanted to grab the things on the side, but was scraped out by the sharp grass edge, and the blood dripped into the soil, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Ahh ”

He climbed up with his sore back, screaming in his mouth, the palm of his hand was hot and painful, and suddenly he felt that the soles of his feet were not very strong, and the soft soil was about to collapse, so he hurriedly pulled out his legs, and took a few steps back, but it was an empty snake hole.

A few of the baskets were turned upside down, and the medicinal materials in it were scattered all over the ground, Xi Yu hurriedly bent down and picked up all the scattered herbs, and suddenly felt something different, as if he had stepped on something.

He thought it was a stone, but when he turned around to look, his soul was scattered all of a sudden, and it was clearly a skull, and he happened to step on it firmly, and a few cracks were pressed out.

Xi Yu's cold hair stood on end, his scalp exploded, his brain was buzzing, he jumped up as if he had touched snake scales, and suddenly touched something hard, he fell, he looked down, and suddenly farts and urine, and got up with his hands and feet.

It was a cold, dry corpse, its face was no longer visible, covered in skin and bones, like withered firewood, standing straight and straight there.

"How can there be dead people here......"

Xi Yu cried and mourned his face, like falling into an ice cellar, feeling that the soles of his feet were cold, and the cold air was rising from his back, it was too unlucky to encounter such a terrifying scene in broad daylight, and his goosebumps rose.

It took him a while to calm down, although he was a little weak-hearted, but he still leaned over to take a look, there was still a dried corpse lying in the bush, and he thought that it was difficult to be harmed by thieves and thrown to this wilderness to destroy the corpse, it was really ruthless, plus the one who had been gnawed by insects and ants into white bones, there were three dead people under it.

Xi Yu wanted to leave several times, but when he thought of the old saying that going into the earth is safe, no matter what happened before he was alive, he couldn't just expose his body here, in case those beasts came back and ate it, it would be a great sin, and he would bury them conveniently, which could be regarded as accumulating yin virtue.

Thinking of this, he recited all the heavenly gods and immortals, strengthened his courage, looked left and right, broke a thick branch, buried his head in digging a pit that was neither deep nor shallow, and pushed the two dried corpses with great difficulty, and then collected the white bones between the grass little by little, wrapped them in clothes, and carefully placed them in the pit to fill in the soil and bury them.

This time, Xi Yu's forehead was already faintly sweating, he thought about it, and then found a piece of dead wood to insert on the grave, and then made a gesture like a decent, his mouth was slurred, and he had words.

"Ahem, a few predecessors are on top, and the younger generations are so polite, how much they are offended, and they forget that you are in the heavenly spirit, and there are many ...... White bone senior, the younger generation stepped on your bones today is an unintentional mistake, not disrespectful, you adults don't care about villains, don't become an unclean thing to find juniors...... If you want to find them, you will find those who harm you......"

"The younger generation is young and weak, and I can't prepare a thin coffin for you, but I can be regarded as having a tomb, so I don't have to be the homeless lonely ghost...... I don't know if the three predecessors knew each other before their deaths, but they were all buried with Yi, and it was fate, so don't fight when you get down, otherwise it will be very inappropriate for the old man of Hades to get angry and blame me, well, at the bottom of the righteous knot Jinlan to be a sworn brother, if it doesn't work, it's a pair of half-lived mandarin ducks who live and fly together......"

"I don't have any filial piety for you, oh, this yellow essence is just dug out of the soil by the younger generation, and it is still hot, so I will honor the three seniors to enjoy. If you are afraid of loneliness in the mountains, the younger generations will definitely come back to worship when they are free, so you don't have to bother the seniors to come up and find the juniors in person......"

As soon as Xi Yu's brain was hot, he said all the words in his stomach, opened his mouth and said nonsense, and the more he said it in the back, the more outrageous it became.

He admonished for a while, but in the end he was still not at ease, so he bowed again, and was just about to leave, when he saw a thin book on yellow paper on the grass, which seemed to have fallen from one of the corpses when he had just pushed the corpse.

Xi Yu let out a light "huh", stepped forward to pick it up, and when he looked up, it was getting late.
