ghost

On the mountainside of Yanhui Mountain, there is a very simple parking lot. A vacant lot was opened up on the side of the mountain road near the forest, and then paved with cement.It seems that the mountain road is in better condition than the mountain road they came up, without much sand and rocks, but there are still many potholes that have been in disrepair.

When locals want to enter the forest, they usually choose the forest entrance on the parking lot.At Linzikou, there is a trail stepped on by the predecessors, which is easier to walk than other places and relatively safe.The archaeological team followed by Geng Shudan and the Geng family who went in to rescue them earlier walked through this entrance.

Fang Xia's team also chose this place as the entrance to the mountain. After parking the locomotive in the parking lot, Geng Zhongzhi and Chu Ji began to make arrangements for entering the mountain.

Geng Zhongzhi asked half of the people to stay in the parking lot as support, and the other half went into the mountain in a group.Chu Ji also made a similar arrangement. He let the elderly or physically weak masters stay in the parking lot, and left half of the bodyguards, and the rest went into the mountain with him.

"President Chu, it's good for you to stay in this parking lot, and you don't have to follow us into the mountain." Geng Zhongzhi didn't agree with Chu Ji's decision to follow into the mountain.

"My physical strength is enough to support me to cross Yanhui Mountain. But Patriarch Geng, you can consider staying in the parking lot when you are old." Chu Ji looked at Geng Zhongzhi.

Chu Ji was determined to enter the mountain, but Geng Zhongzhi saw that he couldn't be persuaded, so he stopped talking to Chu Ji and turned to Fang Xia.

Fang Xia sorted out his supplies and equipment, and obviously wanted to follow them into the mountain.However, regarding Fang Xia, Geng Zhongzhi wasn't too worried. With Fu Jin following him, he was probably the safest among them.

When Geng Zhongzhi thought of this, he was slightly taken aback. When did Fu Jin protect Fang Xia in his subconscious?Before Fang Xia, he never thought that Fu Jin would take the initiative to protect which guardian.Believing in the kindness of ghosts is a big taboo for ghost hunters.They believe that the ghost messengers they serve are also based on their absolute power to suppress ghost messengers. Once they are weak, they need to think carefully about using ghost messengers.For a fierce ghost of Fu Jin's level, none of the previous patriarchs had the power to suppress him, so the Geng family members were afraid of him, and the previous patriarchs of the Geng family also treated them with care. When they were weak, they would be more vigilant against Fu Jin.

So, why did he think that Fu Jin would definitely protect Fang Xia?

Geng Zhongzhi was frowning and thinking, and then caught a glimpse of Fu Jin taking Fang Xia's backpack and carrying it on his body, and raised his hand to help Fang Xia tidy up the sweat-drenched hair on his forehead.

Geng Zhongzhi: "..."

the other side--

Huang Shudao, who is good at deduction, began to calculate the direction to go into the mountain.Guo Jiangqing sent a small bell tied with a red string to each person who entered the mountain. It was a guiding bell. When he lost his way, he chanted a mantra and rang. Guo Jiangqing would lead people back to the parking lot—as an exit sign With such an existence, Guo Jiangqing naturally would not enter the mountain.

Fang Xia pinched the bell and looked at it. He felt that the bell was like a scroll in the game. Once used, he could return to the main city.Although this cannot achieve the magical one-second return to the city in the game, and you need to walk back by yourself, but in the maze, this technique can be said to be very practical.

Gong Baining was talking to Ding Ming.

Gong Baining was in her sixties, so naturally she didn't go into the mountains, it was her apprentice Xu Meng who went into the mountains.With tough questions, she would stay outside and guide her on the phone.

"If you encounter something you don't understand in the maze, you can call me and ask me." Gong Baining said to Ding Ming.

Ding Ming picked out his ears and glanced at the young woman standing beside Gong Baining, that is, Gong Baining's apprentice Xu Meng, "Grandma Baining, I don't think calling is reliable. We went inside. What if there is no signal?" manage?"

"Our mobile phone is customized by Mr. Chu, and the signal is very good." Gong Baining looked at Ding Ming and paused, "Your mobile phone may not work well, just wait, mother-in-law will borrow a customized phone for you."

"Hey, I don't need to..." Ding Ming failed to stop Gong Baining, closed his mouth resentfully, looked at Gong Baining's apprentice Xu Meng, and said, "Sister, I think you'd better not go into the mountain, in case the signal is not good ..."

"Do you think my ability is not as good as yours?" Xu Meng stared with almond eyes, showing displeasure.

"No……"

"After this matter is over, let's find a time to compete."

Xu Meng turned around and left. Ding Ming turned to look at Fang Xia, and explained weakly: "Did I say that she is not as good as me?"

Fang Xia looked away, pretending not to hear.

When everyone was ready, the whole team was divided into two—one team stayed in the parking lot, and the other team went into the mountain in full gear.

Geng Zhongzhi, Huang Shudao, and a member of the Gu family walked in the front, followed by the others, stepping on the somewhat slippery path, and following Huang Shudao's prompts, they walked towards the depths of the mountain forest.

The sun did not show its face, the sky was gloomy, and the woods were a little dark.There is still dew on the leaves, dripping on passers-by from time to time.

What Fang Xia cared most about was the silence in the woods. After walking along the path in the forest for more than half an hour, he still couldn't hear the chirping of birds and insects.Fang Xia ran all over the mountains and fields on Que Mountain when he was a child, and he also participated in mountaineering and sketching when he was in college. He knows the situation of mountains and forests well, but he is not unfamiliar.The tranquility of Yanhui Mountain is definitely not what it should be in August.

Is this really the work of the person who arranged the maze?Let such a large mountain forest not even hear the insects.Always feel that something is wrong.

Fang Xia couldn't help talking about it to Fu Jin again.

"In ancient times, there were warlocks who could arrange mazes in a large area, so that all birds would be wiped out within the maze." Fu Jin said slowly, "But I haven't seen a warlock who did this for a long time. I'm not sure. Will anyone still do that now?"

Fu Jin has gone through a long time in the world, so he is indeed well-informed, but he is not omniscient.He only has one perspective, and some things haven't been seen for a long time, but it doesn't mean that those things have completely disappeared.

"The mazes used to do this, but now it's rare." Ding Ming, who was walking behind, took a few quick steps to catch up with Fang Xia and the others, and then said, "The maze is to completely trap people in the maze. Among them, it is aimed at people, and it is not very specific to other creatures. In order to prevent people in the formation from using those creatures to escape, they will specially drive away or kill other creatures in the maze—of course, for warlocks who are proficient in formations, This method has no effect at all, because the trapped warlock will choose to break the formation directly. Moreover, this method is generally used in small-scale mazes, and basically no one uses it in large-scale areas. It is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not worthwhile—— In ancient times, it was used to trap soldiers marching and fighting, and the cost performance was very high, so the cost was not considered. In fact, I suspect that what the geese set up in the mountains may not be a maze at all."

As soon as Ding Ming finished speaking, Geng Zhongzhi and the others who were walking in the front stopped, and the Gu family dug out a magic weapon belonging to the maze under a tree.

"Not Maze?" Xu Meng, who was walking in front, looked back at Ding Ming and raised her eyebrows.

Ding Ming: "..."

Fang Xia: "Brother, you have been slapped in the face."

Ding Ming: "You will call me senior brother when you see me making a fool of yourself."

The Gu family judged from the talisman on the magic weapon that this is a maze of rings, and the formations are one behind the other.Each formation has a magic weapon as a formation eye, pulling out a formation eye is breaking a formation, and pulling out enough formation eyes will break the maze.It sounds simple, but in such a large forest, it is not an easy task to find the magic weapon buried in the formation.Moreover, among so many formation eyes, there are false formation eyes mixed in. Once the wrong setting is made and the maze changes, the situation will be unpredictable.

Of course, the Gu family was indeed very proficient in formations. They continued to walk for an hour, pulled out three formation eyes in a row, and everyone took a rest in an open space.Huang Shudao found a quiet place and began to calculate the positions of those trapped in the formation.

Fang Xia sat next to Fu Jin on the root of a half-dead tree, took a sip of water, glanced at Chu Jin who was standing not far away, looking at the depths of the forest, then looked away, and was about to follow Fu Jin He said something, only to find that Ding Ming swept away his usual lazy expression, and was circling under a tree with lush branches and leaves in deep thought.

Fang Xia got up and ran over to circle him twice, asking, "What are you doing?"

Ding Ming pressed Fang Xia's shoulder, "Let me step on your shoulder."

Fu Jin, who followed Fang Xia, cast a cool gaze on Ding Ming.

Ding Ming rubbed his nose, "Forget it, I'll let you step on my shoulder, you go up a tree and help me see something."

"If you want to climb the tree, I must be stepping on your shoulders! My tree climbing skills are much better than yours." Fang Xia asked Fu Jin to help him hold the water bottle, and looked up at the leafy canopy, "What do you want me to go up to see?" ?”

"Did you see the bird's nest on the tree branch?" Ding Ming pointed to Fang Xia.

"I saw it."

"Go up and see if there are any bird eggs on it." Ding Ming continued.

"You want to eat bird eggs at a time like this?" Fang Xia wanted to slap Ding Ming on the face.

"I just want you to go up and see if the eggs inside are still alive, if there are any. Of course, if you want to take it out and eat it, I have no objection."

After finishing speaking, Ding Ming squatted down under the tree, Fang Xia stepped on his shoulder skillfully, jumped up, clung to the branch of the tree, and jumped up the tree like a monkey.Fang Xia stepped on the tree branch, approached the bird's nest, took out a bird's egg, took out the light of the mobile phone, and then put it back to get the second one.After watching a few times in a row, he came down from the tree with a strange expression on his face.

"How?" Ding Ming asked.

"It's alive, but it's still warm." Fang Xia said.

No birds were heard in the entire forest, but the eggs were still hot——

"This shows that the birds, insects and ants are all there in the forest, and they haven't disappeared, they just hibernate silently." Ding Ming said slowly, "It's definitely not the maze, but the Feng Shui bureau that can do this... This is a feng shui bureau hidden under the maze."

The author has something to say:

Ding Ming (breathing smoke rings): Slapping in the face does not exist.

No one answered.

Ding Ming: Hello!Come and take care of me!
