The years of reselling the haunted house

With that said, the three of us followed the road among the piles of rocks and walked down to the depths of the abandoned Nanliu Village.

As Ma Di said, the more you go in, the more ruins you will see. Many houses have collapsed into disrepair, and broken stones and broken wood can be seen everywhere, as if they have been hit by a catastrophe.

I believe that the three of us have a question in our hearts. Why did a village that was originally good become like this?

On the stone tablet of Nanliu Village, only the origin of the name of the village and a story about Qin Wuyu, the bird king, saving the village were recorded.But there is no record of how the village was destroyed.

Ma Di walked to a pile of ruins, and picked up a few small stones, earthen bricks, and some pieces of wood from inside.Then he took out a magnifying glass, observed it carefully for a while, and said: "The materials used in these buildings are really not modern products, and they have been around for 200 years. It's a pity, why didn't I think about it last time I came here?" Let's take a look. Otherwise, we will definitely find something."

I questioned: "Old Ma, you mean, this village has been destroyed for 200 years? Then, it has been destroyed since the Qing Dynasty?"

Liang Yue said: "I don't think it's necessarily annihilation, right? Maybe people in this village moved out with their families and moved to other places. This place is deserted, which is normal."

Ma Di shook his head: "It is not very likely that the whole village will move out together, unless there is an irreversible natural disaster or some kind of threat."

I turned around and asked Liang Yue, "Did you see something?"

Liang Yue nodded and asked me: "You haven't noticed that although this village is deserted and most of the houses have collapsed, does the layout of this village seem familiar?"

"Déjà vu?"

After being reminded by Liang Yue, Ma Di and I paid attention to the layout of this abandoned village.

Ma Su asked: "You mean, this Nanliu Village is very similar to the Nanliu Village we visited?"

Liang Yue smiled: "It seems that your old brain is not always bright."

Ma Di was choked by Liang Yue, and he couldn't face it face to face, so he had to stare at his two eyes for luck.

It was only then that I suddenly realized that Liang Yue meant this.

Not to mention, I took a look on purpose. The layout of the houses here, the direction of the village roads, etc. are really similar to Nanliu Village.

Ma Di disagrees: "As far as I know, the villages here are similar in structure with minor differences. This doesn't explain anything."

Liang Yue pouted: "Then let's verify..."

Then, Liang Yue looked around, pointed to the front right and said: "If my judgment is correct, walking five or sixty meters in that direction should be the small square where we stood that day. There were still a few big trees there Tree, and a stone well, do you remember?"

I remember this. At that time, we suddenly encountered a thick fog there, and then we got separated in the fog.

Liang Yue's discovery also aroused the curiosity of Ma Su and me.

The three of us walked towards the direction Liang Yue pointed, and there was indeed a slightly flat open space in front of us.There are several abandoned houses next to it.

When Ma Di saw it, he looked around, pointed to the abandoned houses and said, "I remember this place. This should be the place where we rested and camped that day."

As he said that, Ma Su walked over, apparently wanting to find out the exact location where they rested that day.

Who knew that he had just walked over and suddenly yelled inside: "Who?"

Liang Yue and I were taken aback, and hurried over in two steps.

"What's the matter old horse?" I asked.

Ma Di pointed to the inside of those houses and said, "There...someone, a figure flashed just now."

"Shadow?" We looked inside, but saw nothing but ruins.

Ma Di nodded, and said with certainty: "I'm old and my eyesight is fine, there must be someone inside just now."

Chapter 127 Bird King Shrine

"Could it be the third uncle?" I got excited and prepared to go inside.

Liang Yue grabbed me: "Be careful. If it's your third uncle, why would we run away?"

Ma Di also said: "I also think that figure doesn't look like your third uncle."

I nodded: "No matter who it is, it will appear here at this time. It is either rape or robbery. And it must be weird to run away when it sees us. There are three of us, and it is still broad daylight. What is there to be afraid of?"

As I said that, I took a mahogany sword I was carrying in my hand, walked through the half-collapsed walls first, and walked quickly inside.

Seeing that I took out the weapon, Liang Yue also took out a knife from the backpack, and pulled the knife out of the scabbard.

I glanced at it, and found that the blade was long and narrow, about a foot long, and although it was in the sun, it felt cold.

"You still have this guy with you?" I asked.

Liang Yue smiled: "Preparation is safe. I want to see who made my aunt fall off the cliff and almost fell off the cliff. If you grab him, you must chop him."

Seeing Liang Yue gnashing his teeth and showing a fierce look in his eyes, one couldn't help but tremble in one's heart.

Liang Yue followed me to Nanliu Village this time. At the beginning, she seemed very low-key, and her words were not as aggressive as before. This style of behavior was completely different from that of our broken eight coffin corpse yard. At that time, she was very good at snatching limelight.

I guess it was the account that the third uncle gave her before he left that played a role.

After arriving here, they were hit by the Tao on the first day, and their souls were seduced by the soul-inducing flag. After a lot of trouble, I rescued her and Ma Di.Afterwards, due to the disappearance of the third uncle, due to emotional reasons, we did not communicate too much.

It was not until she entered Nanliu Village that Liang Yue showed her extraordinary side.These are actually qualities that I don't have.

First of all, she was quick in thinking and raised doubts about Xing Mo.Although Ma Di denied it, in my opinion, Liang Yue's suspicion is very reasonable.It's just that we don't have any evidence for the time being, and we can't prove it to the old horse.

Now she grabbed the knife again and let out harsh words.Only then did I realize that she thought it was extremely embarrassing for her to be snatched away.That's why I feel resentful towards the person who manipulated this matter behind the scenes.There is a vicious force in her now, which is something that even a man like me can feel ashamed of.

"Liang Yue, do you think that the whole thing we came here, such as before and after the cliff burial, was manipulated by someone? But as far as I know, this cliff burial is fixed on two days a year, and we happened to meet It's over." I asked.

"You are also an elm head. This matter is definitely not simple, just watch if you don't believe me." After Liang Yue finished speaking, she waved the knife in her hand.

Under the sun, the knife had a cold light, which dazzled my eyes.

At this moment, I also feel that the analysis of the whole matter is a bit messy.I didn't have much reasoning ability, and I was even more dizzy now.I simply didn't think too much about it, I thought about taking one step at a time.

Liang Yue grabbed the knife and rushed ahead, and Ma Di and I followed and walked over.

After crossing those low walls, it seems to have entered a courtyard.Because there are walls around here, although the walls have collapsed, the half-collapsed walls just formed a closed space.

On one side of the site, there is another ruin.

There are more earth bricks and broken logs in this ruin, piled up like a hill.Ma Di walked over, picked up two tiles, looked at them, and found a copper bell from inside. After shaking it, the copper bell was still in good condition and could make a tinkling sound.

The sound sounds a bit like a bird-scare bell in a temple.

Sure enough, Ma Di looked at a large piece of ruins and said, "This seems to be a temple. I don't know when it collapsed."

"There seems to be a plaque." Liang Yue also found something there, and pointed to his feet.

We walked over and cleaned up the stones and floating soil on it. Sure enough, there was a dilapidated plaque underneath. The plaque had been smashed into two pieces. We put the plaque together and saw the words written on it: Temple of the King of Birds .

"Bird King Temple? Is that the bird king Qin Wuyu?" I blurted out.

Ma Di nodded: "It seems so. It should be that the villagers of Nanliu Village set up this ancestral hall for Qin Wuyu in order to thank him for saving his life. It's just that what happened to this village, even this ancestral hall could not be kept."

I looked around, and since the walls of the courtyard had collapsed, it looked very empty, and I didn't find any figures at a glance.

But at the back of the yard, I saw a tall tree with no leaves on it, only dry branches left.Around this so-called Bird King Temple, there are all rubble and ruins, and there are no other trees, so this tree looks particularly abrupt.

The three of us left the ruins and came under the tree.

This slightly obtrusive tree should be quite old. There are ravines on the tree, and the whole body is three arms thick.The branches on the tree are also very complicated, extending and interlacing in all directions.But unfortunately, there is no green on this tree, and it is obviously dead.

Ma Di touched the tree trunk and said it was a pity.If a tree species like this can survive, it is also very precious.

In the entire Bird King Temple, there is nothing else to be found except these.As for the figure that Ma Di said he saw, even Mao did not see it.

And the entire Nanliu Village did not find any clues.Not only did the third uncle not be found, but the old stall also disappeared.

Now that we come in, it can be said that we have returned without success, and I can't help but feel a little frustrated.

Ma Di said: "Is there another exit from this village, and the old man has already left by the exit?"

I shook my head, these are just speculations, and I can't conclude.

Ma Di opened his backpack, took out a few bags of bread, and handed them to Liang Yue and me: "Fill your stomach first, and then look for the exit after eating. I always feel that there is something wrong here, but I don't know how to start."

I took the bread mechanically, tore open the package and took a few bites.Because of my impatience, I no longer have any sense of taste at this time, and the taste of eating bread is like chewing wax.

The three of us leaned against the dead tree, gnawing bread with our own minds.

Looking up, the entire Nanliu Village was deserted.Not to mention the green trees, there is very little grass on the ground.It doesn't look like a valley, but like entering a barren Gobi Desert.

But here is not a barren of grass. On the way we came here, we often see a kind of yellow grass. This kind of grass grows in clusters. The leaves and stems are hard and sharp. I have never seen it before. .

After I sat down, there happened to be a tuft of this strange grass near my feet.I reached out to pull it out and have a closer look.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, Ma Di stopped me loudly: "Don't move."

Ma Di leaned over and looked at the grass, as if he was thinking about something, and muttered: "It's strange, why is there such a grass here?"

Chapter 128 Sand Wolf Worm

I was taken aback: "Old Ma, do you know him? What kind of name is this grass?"

Before Ma Su could answer, there was a sudden rustling sound from a distance.

At first I thought it was the wind, but then I realized that the sound seemed to be coming from the ground far away.

"Did you hear anything?" Ma Su asked suddenly.

Liang Yue nodded.Apparently they also heard this strange sound.

Liang Yue and I hadn't reacted yet, but Ma Di's face suddenly changed, and he quickly fell on the ground, put his ears to the ground, and listened carefully.After a while, he jumped up again, put the backpack on the ground, and rummaged through it.

"Old Ma, what are you looking for?" I didn't know why Ma Di was so nervous, so I asked.

"It's too late. Hurry up, Liang Yue, cut some branches off that tree, hurry up, the sooner the better. Li Yang, go pick up bricks and stones, the more the better."

We were taken aback for a while, and the old horse's attitude changed a little quickly, without any buffer.I wanted to ask something, but seeing Ma Di's face turned pale with nervousness, as if a crisis was right in front of me, I held back from asking.

From Ma Di's face, Liang Yue and I felt the danger, obviously Ma Di had foreseen something.

We didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly followed what Ma Di said, and each of us divided the labor to work.

I picked up a lot of broken stones by the side, and I couldn't move the ones that were too big. I only collected a lot of stones the size of my fist.

Liang Yue also cut off a lot of branches from the nearby tree, and piled them all aside.

Ma Su also took out a few things from the bag and put them on the ground.Among them were two sealed glass bottles and a folded engineering shovel, which my third uncle and I also brought, but it was in his backpack.

Ma Di pointed to the engineer shovel and said to me: "Li Yang, quickly use that shovel to dig a shallow ditch around us to form a circle. It doesn't need to be too deep, as long as it can put down these rocks. By the way, put the tree Get in there too."

Ma Di's tone was unquestionable, and it seemed that there was no time to explain, so I had no choice but to pick up a shovel and dig a shallow ditch outside us. The shallow ditch enclosed the three of us and the dead tree inside.

When I was digging the ditch, Ma Di directed Liang Yue to break off the dry branches, put them in the shallow ditch, and put a lot of stones on it.

While doing all this, Ma Su couldn't stop muttering: "I hope my judgment is wrong..."

I saw sweat dripping from Ma Di's pale face.

Ma Su opened the lid of the glass bottle again, and evenly sprinkled a yellow powder inside into the shallow ditch.Then he gave me a lighter and said, "We both keep our sides. Some situations may arise in a while. Listen to my password and let you light the fire. You can light the branches in this ditch."

Holding the lighter, I nodded.

At this time, the rustling sound, which seemed a little far away, is now much closer, and has a tendency to become louder and louder.

Looking at all of Ma Di's arrangements, one can guess that it may be to guard against something.Maybe Ma Su has encountered this kind of situation before, so he will take precautions in advance.

Liang Yue and I have no experience in the field, and we don't know what it is that can scare Ma Su into such a state?

We are ready to fight, my heart is pounding, ready to deal with this sudden danger.

As a result, we waited for more than ten minutes, but nothing happened.Even the rustling sound seemed to have disappeared.

I looked at Ma Di: "What's going on? Did you make a mistake in your judgment?"

Liang Yue also said: "Have you figured it out, we can't scare ourselves."

Ma Di's face was purple and blue: "Whoever is full is trying to scare you. No, something is wrong. We have to leave this Nanliu Village immediately."

With that said, Ma Di got up to pick up the backpack, and was about to leave.

I was surprised: "Lao Ma, there is no news about my third uncle? How can I just leave?"

"That's right. Are you afraid? If you want to leave, go first." Liang Yue also thought that Ma Di was playing tricks on purpose, and what he said was not very nice.

"You... I really didn't scare you, hurry up and follow me." Ma Di angrily picked up his backpack, crossed the shallow ditch, and was about to leave.

In fact, I know that Ma Di will not be alarmist, but I will definitely not do it if I leave my third uncle and leave.

Ma Di didn't take two steps, looking back we really didn't intend to leave.He stomped his feet angrily, turned around and turned back, sighing uncontrollably.

Ma Di threw his backpack on the ground, bent down again, and put his ear to the ground to listen.

Seeing Ma Di's serious appearance, I followed his example and put my ear on the ground to listen.
