As night fell gradually, walking in the desolate abandoned ancient town, only the sounds of birds and beasts and the whistling wind could be heard.

The atmosphere gradually became a little weird.

After walking for a while, Wang Kaixuan suddenly trembled all over, and hurriedly looked back.

"Old Hu, do you feel that something is following us?"

Hu Bayi looked back and said.

"There is not even a ghost here, it must be your psychological effect."

Wang Kaixuan shook his head quickly.

"No, there must be something! It's just that I didn't see it."

Yaomei couldn't help laughing.

"Brother, you are tall and big, but you are as courageous as a cat. You are startled."

"Actually, they are animals in the mountains. There are so many of us, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

After Qingxi Town was abandoned, no one has set foot on it for more than 70 years. The wild animals here have never seen human beings. They may have quietly followed behind to observe out of curiosity.

According to Yaomei's deduction, it was either a weasel or a badger or a raccoon.

After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan was relieved, his old face blushed, and he quickly found an excuse to cover up.

Lin Shuangyue smiled lightly and said in a low voice.

"Mr. Ji, do you want to catch it?"

In fact, Ji Changsheng also felt that that thing was not a weasel at all, nor was it a badger or raccoon, but other animals.

"No, let it follow."

The two spoke in such a low voice that no one else noticed.

While speaking, he had passed through half of the town and came to the center of the town.

An old house appeared in front of him, the house covers an area of ​​tens of acres, it is a standard landlord mansion.

After hundreds of years of baptism, the old house is completely dilapidated and has lost its former style.

Only a pair of stone lions at the door show people Zeng Jin's status.

Professor Sun took out the flashlight, stepped forward to take a closer look, and said in surprise.

"This stone lion looks a little weird, I've never seen anything like it before."

As a well-educated professor of archeology, he has far more knowledge than ordinary people, and even he has never seen it before. From this, it can be seen that this stone lion is a bit strange.

Everyone stepped forward to take a closer look. This stone lion has a round body and a big belly. It is lazily lying on the stone pier. It does not have the might and arrogance of a lion at all. It looks like an obese patient whose weight is out of control.

However, the appearance of the stone lion is quite ferocious, with a fierce light in its eyes, and two long fangs sticking out of its mouth, giving people an evil and hateful feeling.

Hu Bayi frowned.

"The stone lion is a fetish in the town house. How could it be carved like this? It looks more like an evil thing."

Ji Changsheng smiled slightly, pointed at the stone lion and said.

"What kind of stone lion is this? It's clearly a pig!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, thinking he was joking.

Only Professor Sun observed carefully and did not take it as a joke.

After watching for a while, he slapped his thigh fiercely and exclaimed.

"Sure enough, it's a pig!"

The others were startled, and they all showed puzzled expressions.

I have only heard of stone lions being used to town houses, but never stone pigs. What kind of special custom is this?

Professor Sun pointed to the stone lion and said.

"Look, the mane is as straight as a sword, the nostrils are facing the sky, the two fangs stick out of the mouth, the ears are disproportionately large, and the body is fat. It is clearly a pig!"

There were no lions in ancient China, and most people have never seen what a lion looks like, so the images of lions in ancient books are all fictitious imaginations.

The image of the traditional lion dance that has been passed down to this day is far from that of a real lion.

The stone lions in the town house, like the lion dancers, have ears as big as palm-leaf fans. They don't look like cats at all, but more like Labrador or pig ears.

It is precisely because the image of the stone lion is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that everyone habitually ignores these oddities. Foreigners who have never seen a stone lion will be able to tell something is wrong at a glance.

After Professor Sun figured it out, his mind suddenly became brighter, and his thinking was opened up at once.

He clapped his hands with joy and smiled.

"It turns out that this is the case, this thing is the black sheep in the code word!"

Crows are black, traditional Chinese domestic pigs are black, and white domestic pigs are a breed imported from abroad in recent decades.

In ancient times, sheep also referred to livestock such as pigs and sheep.

Black sheep are actually black pigs!

Professor Sun laughed.

"I have never understood the relationship between the black sheep and the ancient tomb of the earth fairy. I wanted to find out about the pig farm. It turns out that the black sheep refers to stone pigs. No wonder I couldn't think of it!"

On the land of China, there are countless stone lions in town houses, all over the north and south of the river.

But the stone pigs had never appeared before. The two stone pigs at the gate of the Feng family's old house in Qingxi Town were found for the first time in the whole country.

"Preliminary visit to the Earth Immortal, look for Wuyang first."

There is no doubt that the black sheep in the secret language refers to this rare stone pig!
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that, it seemed that they were getting closer to Dixian Village.

Wang Kaixuan said hurriedly.

"According to the meaning of the code word, the ancient tomb of the Earth Immortal is in this old house?"

Yaomei quickly shook her head and said.

"Certainly not. The whole town has been hollowed out. If there are any ancient tombs, they would have been dug out long ago."

Professor Sun said while taking notes with a pen.

"Yangzhai is a place where living people live. How can we build Yinzhai below? Yin and Yang are mutually restraining. The Guanshan Taibao of the ancestor of the Feng family is not an outsider. If his brain is burned out, he will not build an underground palace here."

Wang Kaixuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and asked.

"Where is the ancient tomb of the Earth Immortal?"

Professor Sun put away his notebook and pointed at the old house.

"If it was so easy to find, it would have been discovered long ago."

"Go ahead and have a look, there may be clues inside."

Everyone then entered the old house and inspected it carefully.

The house was once transformed into a health center and a school, and the internal structure has undergone major changes, and it is no longer what it was originally.

When the house was moved decades ago, all the furniture and items were emptied, leaving nothing but the solid house standing.

After searching inside and out, I found nothing.

Everyone had to clean up a clean place, cook a fire, and prepare to spend the night here.

While cooking, a thunderstorm suddenly sounded in the sky, illuminating the night sky like daytime.

Not long after, the weather changed suddenly.

There was heavy rain, thunder and lightning, and howling winds.

Fortunately, there is this old house that can shelter from the rain. If it is in the wilderness, it will be drenched in water.

Yaomei looked at the raging thunderstorm outside, and said worriedly.

"Grandpa said that when it rained suddenly in the mountains, it was because the mountain god got angry."

"I'm afraid something will happen tonight..."

Wang Kaixuan grinned and said.

"It's going to be windy, and my mother is going to get married. There's nothing to make a fuss about, don't scare yourself."

"That's all feudal superstition, you can't..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes and pulled Yaomei behind him.

"Be careful, there are monsters!"
