Wang Binshan's face was extremely tense, as if he was overly frightened and about to die of fright.

This kid dared to go up the mountain alone to rob the tomb, which shows that he is not a timid person, and he will not be frightened and overwhelmed by telling a few ghost stories.

Zhang Hao and Shadow had the same idea, but they didn't say it out loud.

With nothing going on, Zhang Hao got up and walked into the dense forest next to him.

The two spirited young men looked at each other in shock when they saw this, not daring to step forward to follow, but they were worried that Zhang Hao would be angry with them for ignoring them, so they looked at the shadow and asked carefully:

"Brother, there are dangers everywhere on this mountain. Should we follow them?"

Shadow snorted coldly when he heard this, and said angrily:

"It's you who are in danger, don't associate you with me."

In the dense forest, Zhang Hao first checked several pieces of ground and found that the land here also contained toxins. Judging from the way the vegetation was infected, the land here was by no means a problem that had only appeared recently, but had mutated. For hundreds of years.

These plants and trees look just like ordinary ones, but if you touch them even slightly, they will feel corroded.

If you accidentally cut the surface of the bark and leaves, and the juice inside is infected, you may even feel a stinging and dizzy feeling.

Zhang Hao hurriedly mobilized the power of Taoism and Buddhism to fight, and then he felt his dizziness subsided a little.

"General Qin and Prime Minister Zhao, what did you do back then?"

Zhang Hao muttered to himself.

His voice echoed among the trees. Except for the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was no sound in response to Zhang Hao.

The land cannot speak, but the land will use time to precipitate evidence.

Since Zhang Hao inherited the Taoist and Buddhist labyrinth, he naturally wanted to restore the truth of the past.

This has nothing to do with his noble character or not, it's just that Zhang Hao wants to give himself an explanation.

There are a lot of questions about the Taoist and Buddhist labyrinth. If the meteorites falling from the sky are really as big as several mountain peaks, they should be detected all over the world.

The ancient astronomical calendar and Qintianjian were by no means just nonsense to deceive the emperor and the people, but a real astronomy discipline.

The process of a meteorite falling from the sky cannot happen in the blink of an eye, but takes decades to hundreds of years of change.

First take Shadow to Mobei to correct his mentality and completely transform him into a modern person. Then go to historical museums in various places to look for astronomy-related relics.

Zhang Hao thought silently in his heart, but looked down the mountain.

Before doing these two things, he still had to do one more thing.

If there are really millions of people who built the Taoist and Buddhist labyrinth, it is impossible to cover everyone with the sacrifices of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Isolation Formation.

Previously, Shadow believed that his memory was inconsistent with Wang Binshan's answer, because if millions of people really survived, thousands or even tens of thousands of villages would have to develop.

But Shadow missed one point.

With the completion of the Taoist and Buddhist labyrinth, millions of people have disappeared. How can the remaining people sit there and wait to die?

They didn't know if the sacrifice would be held again.

Moreover, the reason used back then was definitely not a sacrifice, but something like conscription of labor or a plague.

Not only was there no pay for forced labor, but the victims also had to provide their own food and money. The victims had nothing left, so being forced into forced labor would mean a dead end.

Not to mention the plague.

Faced with a dead end, even millions of people will instantly fall apart and flee.

Even if some strongmen organized a team, under the dual pressure of the plague and to appease people's hearts, they would choose to leave the mountains and go elsewhere to occupy territory and recuperate.

In the end, there will not be many villagers left near Hidden Dragon Mountain.

Zhang Hao even suspected that those who really stayed in Hidden Dragon Mountain and refused to leave were probably not the villagers at all, but the old troops left behind by General Qin and Prime Minister Zhao.

General Qin and Prime Minister Zhao spent a lot of effort to create a nine-day and ten-earth isolation formation. The purpose was to give the Wang family a trace of the strength to compete for the world.

But just having an isolation formation is not enough, you also need a team of confidants.

Therefore, the 36 villages in Zanglong Mountain are the former headquarters of General Qin.

"Through the vicissitudes of life, the mountains and seas have changed. Even if they were really the so-called old tribe back then, it has no meaning today."

Zhang Hao looked at the fireworks at the bottom of the mountain and whispered to himself.

The sins left by our ancestors have tortured the village for hundreds of years, and the influence of the earth's energy has almost broken through the boundary monument of Hidden Dragon Mountain.

If he hadn't come here by chance and controlled the isolation formation with the help of the shadows, if he wanted to come to these villages, he would not only have to endure the curse of generations, but also face an even more dangerous situation.

"You guys pack up and let's go down the mountain."

Zhang Hao walked out of the dense forest and gave orders to the shadows.

Shadow had just escaped from trouble, so he was naturally willing to contact people.

Wang Binshan is still asleep, and expecting him to act on his own is simply a fool's errand.

Fortunately, his two brothers still cared about their feelings. They made a simple stretcher with the tools at hand, then got Zhang Wang Binshan onto it and followed Zhang Hao.

It was already late at night when Zhang Hao came down the mountain.

The foot of the mountain looked not far away, but the mountain road was rugged. After some walking and stopping, by the time we reached the boundary monument of Hidden Dragon Mountain, the sky was already bright.

In the early morning weather, the sun rises, dispelling the darkness and bringing warmth.

The shadow stood in front of the Hidden Dragon Mountain boundary monument, staring blankly at the sky, his eyes filled with shock.

Zhang Hao stood aside, without urging or disturbing, just looking at him quietly.

The two younger brothers on the side obviously didn't understand the complex mood of the shadow, and they only thought that the shadow was a bit weird.

This strong man, whose body is hidden in a windbreaker, seems to have a strange energy in him that makes people feel chilled to the core.

I don’t know how long it took, but Shadow finally came back to his senses.

A breeze blew, and there was a slight feeling of moisture on the frame under the hood of the shadow windbreaker.

Shadow was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and touched his face.

He was already a skeleton, so why were there wet marks on his face? Did he cry just now?

"Boss, it's very humid in the mountains. Let's leave quickly, otherwise we'll freeze to death."

The two younger brothers said shivering.

Shadow rolled his eyes at this.

It turned out to be dew, not tears at all.

"Since you are afraid of the cold, why are you still hanging around here? Speed ​​up!"

Shadow said coldly, and then urged the two of them to act quickly.

An hour later, Zhang Hao and others finally entered the village.

There are no young people in the village, only some women, children and old children who stay in the village.

In the early morning, the old people were still cooking. When Zhang Hao entered the village quietly, no one noticed them except the occasional dog barking. The two were familiar with each other and pushed open a wooden door, then warmly invited Zhang Hao and the others to come in.

Zhang Hao stood at the door and silently looked at the house in front of him.

Land in rural areas is not valuable, and no matter how well it is decorated, the yard is never too small.

But even from the perspective of a rural person, the house in front of me looks very shabby.

The earthen wall made of bricks and stones is already overgrown with weeds, and the mess in the yard has not been cleaned for a long time. A stench comes from the toilet next to the corner, and in the room directly opposite, there is a shabby big bed. .

All signs in this house indicate that this is a standard residence for a down-and-out bachelor.

The two younger brothers put their eldest son on the bed, and then moved two horses out with awkward smiles on their faces.

"Boss, my family is too poor and we don't have much to entertain. Please wait a moment while I go out to buy some food. We'll talk after we're full."

As they said that, the two of them pushed each other and walked out, as if they were running away.

The shadow stared at the two of them suspiciously, until they closed the door and left, then suddenly said =
"Will these two guys not come back?"

Hearing this, Zhang Hao was slightly startled, and then said in a funny tone:
"If you don't come back, where will they live? Didn't you listen to what they said? They are not locals!"

The shadows were unclear, and some couldn't understand what Zhang Hao's words meant.

Zhang Hao pointed to Wang Binshan lying in the room, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Isn't this simple? The boss in our house is already down and out, but compared to the two people who just left, at least he has a place to hide from the wind and rain. Those two He is the real pauper.”

He also wanted to rely on these people to help Shadow change his mind, but it turned out that these three guys together couldn't make enough food and clothing for him. How could he open his mouth?
Zhang Hao took advantage of the fact that the two of them hadn't come back yet, so he walked into the yard and took a look inside and outside, only to find that the house was surprisingly clean.

Except for a few vegetable heads, there was nothing edible in the vegetable vat.

Zhang Hao even suspected that if they were not desperate, they might not go to Hidden Dragon Mountain to dig ancient tombs.

Digging holes for robbers is not very reliable when you think about it.

Three young guys who don't even know which way to open the door of a burglary cave, actually dreaming of digging a hole and making a fortune?
Even if they find the burial objects, where will they sell the stolen goods?
A moment later, Zhang Hao stood by the pile of rocks beside the far gate wall and sighed helplessly.

There was nothing to eat in this yard. If he wanted to get something to satisfy his hunger, he had no choice but to go to the cellar.

Farmers' cellars are filled with storable things, and since he was in someone else's house, Zhang Hao actually didn't want to open them rashly.

But after working hard for a long time, Zhang Hao suspected that he would starve to death if he didn't eat something.

The shadow is just a skeleton. It doesn't matter whether he eats or not, but he can't.

Zhang Hao moved the big stone away, opened it and looked at it, a light flashed in his eyes.

There were actually some vegetables and fruits in the cellar.

Wang Hao took out the things and lit a fire to make rice. After a while, bursts of aroma wafted from the yard.

After the meal was ready, Zhang Hao kept most of it for himself, and placed the remaining small portion next to Wang Binshan.

Shadow smelled the smell, and there seemed to be a hint of envy on his face.

"Want to eat?"

Zhang Hao said.

Shadow nodded.

In fact, the food Zhang Hao makes is not particularly delicious, and there are no condiments at Wang Binshan's house. Apart from simple salt, Zhang Hao doesn't have much taste in his mouth.

But for Shadow, no matter what it is, as long as he can taste it, he is willing to eat it.

"Don't worry, you have been waiting for hundreds of years, and you don't need more time. As long as we come back from Mobei, I promise to give you a sentient body."

Zhang Hao agreed casually and drained the contents of the bowl in a few mouthfuls.

After finishing the stew, Zhang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Those two guys haven't come back yet. What did they buy?"

Zhang Hao asked belatedly, stunned for a moment.

At least two hours had passed from the time he cleaned the yard in search of food to the time he cooked and ate it all.

He had seen villages when he was on the mountain. The villages in Hidden Dragon Mountain were not very big and were mainly scattered. Most of them only had a few dozen households.

In such a small village, there should be only one canteen in the entire village.

In two hours, let alone selling things, the entire village can be circled.

The shadow was unknown, and he had been trapped underneath for hundreds of years. Time had become a vague concept to him. He didn't know how long or short two hours were.

"Wait for me here, I'll go out and take a look."

Zhang Hao said coldly, stood up and walked out.

The shadow is a body of bones. Going out at this time is likely to cause problems, so he can only hide here.

Zhang Haocai had just walked out of the courtyard, but he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The smoke from birds and cooking fires that I had seen when I entered the village was completely gone. However, in the originally deserted village, strange villagers appeared one after another.

These villagers were sitting on stone benches in front of their homes, holding a stone bowl in their hands. The stone bowl was filled with burnt paper money.

Seeing Zhang Hao walking out of the courtyard, the old lady near the door looked at Zhang Hao leisurely and suddenly said:
"You are not from our village, are you?"

"I am a friend of Wang Binshan, and I came here specially to visit Hidden Dragon Mountain."

Zhang Hao showed no fear on his face and responded calmly. His eyes swept over the old lady and others, and a chill suddenly appeared in his heart.

There is obviously something wrong with people like the old lady.

Their bodies were actually filled with the energy of the earth veins, and it seemed that the energy of the earth veins had accumulated too much, and it was squeezed into thick lumps on their backs.

The sarcomas almost bent the bodies of these people, as if the sarcomas on their backs were hiding babies who were nine months pregnant!

They were basking in the sun here, obviously wanting to take advantage of the period of time when the Yang Qi was at its peak each day to relieve the pain of the Earth Vein Qi on their bodies.

But what happened to the paper money in their hands?

"Old lady, I want to leave the village and buy some things. Can you help me?"

Zhang Hao said.

"Don't you know what's out there?"

The old woman looked at Zhang Hao coldly, did not answer Zhang Hao's words, and asked instead.

In her eyes, Zhang Hao saw strong murderous intent and resentment.

A weird village.

Zhang Hao muttered in his heart, but instead of blaming the old lady for her attitude, he pointed at Wang Binshan who was unconscious in the room.

"Wang Binshan seems to be sick. No matter what is out there, I have to give it a try. If there is a chance, I also want to help him." (End of Chapter)
