Ancient Art of Sealing Ghosts

Returning to the room where Dao Feng and I were in, the heat that had been gathered with great difficulty before had dissipated. My body was icy cold, and so was Dao Feng, otherwise I would have the cheek to rub him under the blanket.

"I'm so cold, I don't want to sleep anymore." I climbed into bed, looked at Dao Feng who was expressionless, and sighed, "Let's chat for a while."

"What are you talking about?" Dao Feng was indifferent, and looked at me casually after lying down.

"When you woke up in the hospital before, didn't you find anything extra in your hand?" My heart moved, and I suddenly remembered the amulet given to Dao Feng. I looked at his chest, and there was no trace of wearing jewelry. Was he lost or taken by someone else?

"What?" Dao Feng asked back with a frown.

"It's just... a tooth, tied on a red string. I put it in your hand before I left. Didn't you see it?" Seeing Dao Feng's expression as if he didn't know about it, I was a little anxious, after all, he was a tooth. Good stuff, it would be a big loss if you lose it.

"Oh." Dao Feng seemed to remember, but his thin lips parted slightly, and he said two words that made me want to vomit blood: "Throw it away."

"Throw it, throw it away?!" I screamed strangely, staring at him with wide eyes, I suddenly felt blood rushing up, and a bitter taste in my mouth: "It's something to ward off evil spirits, throw it away as soon as you say it , I... oh..."

Probably because I was too disappointed in my reaction, Dao Feng stared at me for a long time with his deep eyes, then slowly raised his right hand, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Here."

"Huh?" I turned my head and saw that he tied the amulet on his wrist in a special way. I couldn't help being a little surprised. After being surprised, I felt that my empty heart was filled with something again. What's the taste, anyway, it's not that uncomfortable.

"Damn, are you kidding me?" I was annoyed and funny, I really didn't expect Dao Bingku to play these little tricks, I held his wrist and watched it twice, and when I met his stern eyebrows, my heart beat a little faster.

"Forget it, go to sleep." I ignored the inexplicable feeling in my heart and scratched my head in embarrassment. I didn't want to make myself more embarrassing, so I had to turn around to turn off the light. I fell asleep.

Generally, when friends and brothers sleep together in the same bed, they will feel a little bit resistant. It is normal to sleep back to back, so I don't pay too much attention to Dao Feng.

Otherwise, they fall asleep and roll together, and when they wake up, it will be so embarrassing. Do they have to pat each other on the back and say, buddy, your little brother has been pressing me all night, isn't it great?

But my sleeping appearance is actually very ugly. I have slept with my buddies in college and high school. After waking up, the bed was almost torn apart by us. The bed was full of arms and legs, and the quilt fell to the ground. , usually in this situation, if I wake up first, I will kick my roommate to the ground without hesitation, and then sleep on my own.

Early the next morning, we went to the uncle's room after a brief wash, and saw that Sister Xuan and the uncle were already waiting there.

After what happened last night, the situation is very favorable for us. Boss Li now feels indebted to us, which is a good time for us to find an excuse to enter the mountain.

After we discussed it, we decided that Sister Xuan should come forward to settle the matter. As a direct victim, what she said would be more easily accepted by Boss Li.

When we went to talk to Boss Li, he was planning to build a house in the east of Zhaikou, as if someone's son was going to marry a wife.

Whether they build a house or a bamboo building here, they pay their own money and effort, which is very economical. Generally, the people in charge of the village have the final say on the selection of land, and they only pay extra attention when building bamboo buildings for a very small number of Dai people.

People in the mountains don’t dress so fancy, most of them wear ordinary cotton-padded clothes and trousers, but the daughters-in-law of the Dai family are a little special. The dress is much more refined and beautiful.

We stood beside him for a while, and seeing that Boss Li finally sat down and smoked, we all turned our heads to look at Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan held her head high, opened the zipper of her jacket slightly, put her hands on her plump breasts, then looked at the three of us confidently, and said, "Look at me."

We nodded one after another, and watched the only female comrade in the organization with admiration. For some reason, looking at sister Xuan like this always gave me the feeling of seeing a female spy. Of course, this kind of thinking must not be allowed she knows.

Standing under the tree, watching Ji Xuan walk to the side of Boss Li and chat with him, I suddenly thought, did the group of people who went in before us really get trapped and died on the mountain because of the bombing of the mountain? Could there be other reasons? Inside, if their purpose is the same as ours, which is to go to the ancient tomb, then they should have come out after so many days, otherwise they will die in the mountains without enough food and water.

But according to the experience of the last fight, they may have found other ways to get out of the mountain, and the uproar caused by Boss Li's closure of the mountain may be just doing useless work.

After about 10 minutes, Ji Xuan ended the conversation and returned to the tree with a gloomy expression.

"Why?" The uncle asked curiously, "He doesn't agree?"

Ji Xuan shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "I agree, but judging by his attitude, I always feel that this matter is not that simple. I said that the mountain was closed because someone used explosives to blow up the mountain, but after talking with him just now, I found that he There is no awareness of this in his head. It is true that the mountain was closed, but the explosion of the mountain has yet to be verified. I suspect that there is something hidden in it. Maybe he closed the mountain not to trap those people to death, but for other purposes... "

"Other purposes?" The uncle touched his chin, thought for a moment and then gestured: "Go back first, and we'll talk about it after entering the mountain anyway. In case Boss Li changes his mind, we'd better leave immediately."

We understand what Uncle means. No matter what the purpose of Boss Li's closure of the mountain is, we have to go into the mountain to find the ancient tomb. Even if there are man-eating goblins in the mountain, they can't stop our actions.

After tidying up our backpacks, we went down to the southernmost part of the village under the leadership of Li Shan, the eldest son of Li. This is the only way to enter the mountain. It is connected to the opposite mountain by a suspension bridge. There is a huge canyon between the two mountains. Yunnan vegetation Rich, green everywhere, even the abyss of this canyon is covered with branches and leaves, the bottom of the valley cannot be seen at a glance, and it is not known whether there is water below.

Judging from the steep cliff on the opposite side of the mountain, this is indeed the only way to enter. The people in the village guard this place all the year round, and I don't know how much toll they have collected.

"You just go across this suspension bridge. Don't look down when you get to the middle of the bridge, or you will fall easily." Li Shan watched us pointing to the suspension bridge, and the strange look in his eyes was fleeting.

I was slightly startled, thinking that what Ji Xuan said was indeed true, Boss Li did indeed have something to hide.

"There's nothing interesting in the mountains, it's very dangerous. Come out as soon as you have a look." After Li Shan finished speaking, he signaled us to go over.

We thanked us, said that there was nothing to do and we would come out immediately, then turned and walked slowly up the suspension bridge.

This suspension bridge is quite long, and it is all made of strong wood and ropes. Once people step on it, it shakes immediately, just like stepping on a boat. Judging by the color of the wood and ropes, it should be many years old. I don’t know if it is safe or not. , In some places, the corner of the board is broken, the uncle asked us to walk in the middle as much as possible.

As I was walking, I turned my head slightly and looked at Li Shan standing at the bridge from the corner of my eye. I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, and I couldn't help but whispered: "Let's go faster, this bridge may not be strong."

The uncle nodded: "Don't fall, don't look down if you have a fear of heights."

Having said that, no one quickened the pace too much, because the suspension bridge would shake a lot if the movement was a little bigger. In order to keep it stable, we had to cooperate with each other tacitly.

When I got to the middle of the bridge, a gust of cold air rushed up from the canyon under the bridge. I shivered from the cold, tightened my clothes and continued to move forward.

When walking on the suspension bridge, time seemed to pass very slowly. It took a few minutes, but it seemed like centuries. When I finally stepped on the ground, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that my whole body had been vicissitudes once.

"It scared me to death. I was scared out of fear of heights." I said.

The uncle took out a cigarette, saw my lingering fear, and laughed unkindly: "Congratulations on your new life, didn't you scare the egg to pieces just now?"

"I said that your mouth can be more Zhou Libo than Han Han." I gave the uncle an angry look, and then turned to look at the suspension bridge. I couldn't believe that we walked over this thing just now.

"Let's go, someone has already taken the lead." Dao Feng didn't change his expression, he took out the gloves from his backpack and put them on, while touching the black cat that had jumped onto his shoulder.

"That's right, the map that I have worked so hard to find, don't let them take away the treasure." Ji Xuan took out the parts of the firearm and quickly assembled it, then hung the submachine gun on his body, and looked at us with raised eyebrows.

The uncle fiddled with the mystery stone for a while, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "Go, we are still a short distance away from the target."

After finishing speaking, he put away the stone plate and took the lead to walk forward.

After crossing the suspension bridge, the surrounding environment has completely changed. The trees are intertwined and luxuriant, as if entering a tropical rainforest.

It can be seen that the trees here are quite old because few people cut them down. The roots of many towering old trees are exposed outside and entangled with the roots of other trees. They are strangely shaped and look very strange.

We climbed among these tree roots and headed towards the direction uncle pointed. At this time, Daofeng's black cat gave full play to its advantages, and drilled around nimbly without feeling tired at all.

However, for some reason, after entering the forest for a period of time, I felt a vague vision, as if someone was staring at us in the dark, and I looked back many times, but only saw the vast forest and the twisted and complicated branches .

I paused under my feet, thinking that there are many black holes in the forest due to the entanglement of tree roots and branches. Maybe there are some animals hiding in the tree holes, so there is no need to worry too much.

"It can't be that Li Shan is following us." I muttered silently.
