After offering the wrong incense, the fairy family forced me to pledge myself to you

"So many...so many children!"

Yes!

So many children!

Some of them were naked, dragging their umbilical cords.

Some were wearing ill-fitting clothes and were extremely shabby.

Some wrapped themselves in faded swaddling clothes.

But they are all girls.

When they saw us, they cried. Either crawling or stumbling towards us.

Guan Peng was obviously scared. He subconsciously stepped back, but one of them hugged his leg.

He wanted to get rid of her, but the pitiful look of the trembling girl clinging to her made Guan Peng freeze up.

These infant spirits have no ill intentions, they are just cold and looking for warmth.

Qian Duoduo and I looked at each other, and then moved closer to Guan Peng.

The group of female dolls sobbed and huddled us together.

Gradually, the crying subsided.

Although their faces were pale and even defeated, they looked like little angels who had just died when they closed their eyes and slept soundly.

"An'an, what's going on?"

After a long time, Qian Duoduo spoke in a low voice.

"I don't know!" I shook my head slightly, "They just want to get some warmth!"

At this moment, Guan Peng's expression was complicated.

There was a look of distress in his eyes.

"Are they all infant spirits?"

"It seems so!" I felt a little sad, "But why are there so many on this mountain?"

"It's so dark and cold on the mountain, how scared they are to be alone!" Guan Peng's voice choked with sobs, "Look at them, the oldest one is only one or two years old, and the youngest one hasn't even cut off the umbilical cord! Who is so cruel? Abandoned here?"

For a moment, the three of us were speechless.

The baby spirit leaning in my arms seemed to be disturbed. Its little hand twitched slightly, and then it burrowed into my arms.

Buckwheat and others who have been to Linglong Pagoda have also encountered these infant spirits?

Just when I thought of this, a sharp cry came from the distance.

This cry not only frightened the bird perched on the tree to flap its wings randomly, but also frightened the surrounding infant spirits to jump up one after another.

They looked around in horror, then crawled crazily in the same direction on all fours, and soon disappeared.

"That seems to be the direction of Linglong Tower!"

After Guan Peng said this, he randomly stuffed the map into his clothes and ran towards that direction with rapid strides.

"Guan Peng, wait!"

Qian Duoduo and I couldn't stop Guan Peng from shouting.

By the time we caught up, Guan Peng had already disappeared.

Qian Duoduo spread his wings, grabbed my shoulders and flew up, but he was so high up that he never saw Guan Peng.

Only the red mist covered the entire area within sight.

Those weird corpse signs from before have also mysteriously disappeared at this moment.

After searching to no avail, we had no choice but to go down the mountain.

Now it’s okay, Guan Peng lost the map and it’s gone.

I don’t know if these infant spirits have anything to do with Linglong Pagoda, but we were on the only way to Linglong Pagoda when something happened.

Early the next morning, we waited at the entrance of the scenic spot.

The staff was shocked when they saw us.

"How did you get in? Or...you didn't go back last night? Aren't you afraid of death? Two girls spent the night in the mountains and forests? Fortunately, there are public toilets along the way where you can stay. If you go far, there will be Beastly!"

"Uncle, we are fine!"

"If anything happens, can I still teach you? Get out of here!"

"Uncle, do you know Linglong Tower?"

"What kind of tower?" The staff member shook his head, "There is no tower in our scenic area!"

Seeing that the staff were busy, I didn't ask any more questions.

After coming down the mountain, Qian Duoduo and we started taking action.

I want to go find some local aborigines and ask about Linglong Tower.

Qian Duoduo left a message online asking for help, trying to find a map to Linglong Tower.

Soon, someone responded to Qian Duoduo’s request for help.

Netizen A: Are you in my hometown, Xuanwu Mountain?

Qian Duoduo: Yes, do you know there is a place called Linglong Tower there?

Netizen A: I have never seen it, but my late grandfather once told me that there used to be a tower in the mountains, but I forgot what it was called. At that time, my family was poor, so my grandfather would go to the mountains to dig weeds and hunt game. I once saw the tower by chance. It looked very dilapidated and there was nothing strange about it, but when the wind blew, babies could be heard inside. The cry was like the scream of a cat in heat.

Netizen B: I am also from the southern part of Beijing. My hometown is in a small town at the foot of Xuanwu Mountain. Whenever the old people there scare the children, they will throw them into the tower on the mountain for you if they make trouble again. They say that there are cats and monkeys inside. Cannibal. Whenever the old man said this, we immediately shut up and didn't dare to put our feet out of bed at night.

Netizen A: Yes, yes, me too!

Qian Duoduo: Can you find that tower? I want to go see it, I am an adventure lover!

Netizen C: Don’t go! Very evil! Recently, a post on a forum titled "Linglong Tower" became inexplicably popular. It described Linglong Tower's description of the strange powers and chaotic gods, and how it was efficacious. Many netizens were eager to go on an adventure. The person who posted the post also gave me a slap in the face. An advertisement that says there is a map or something like that is just a diversion post! Qian Duoduo: Please address.

After a while, enthusiastic netizens sent a link to a cat shop.

When I opened it, there was only one product, and that was: the detailed map of Linglong Tower.

The price is five hundred and eighty, which is considered a high price.

When Qian Duoduo was dealing with the shop owner, I saw an old lady sunbathing on the street.

"Grandma, you're basking in the sun!" I smiled and walked over to get closer.

"What? Saleswoman?" The old lady narrowed her eyes.

"Grandma, I'm saying hello to you!"

"You said I look weird?" The old lady showed her bare gums and waved her hands vigorously. "I'm not evil. My parents say that I'm lucky because I'm tall and round!"

"No grandma, I want to ask you something!"

"You said I was looking for trouble?" The old lady looked unhappy. "I was sitting fine by myself, and you called me evil as soon as you came up. You also said that I was looking for trouble! Young man, you are really rude!"

"What are you telling an old lady with a bad ear? Let's go find someone else to ask about Linglong Tower!"

"stop!"

Qian Duoduo and I were about to leave, but were blocked by the crutches extended by the old lady.

"Who has bad ears?" The old lady glared at us, "No one else in this area knows about Linglong Tower, but I know!"

Yo ho!

This time I heard it was clear!

"Grandma, stop bragging. Do you really know Linglong Tower?"

This sentence, first of all, is to stimulate the general method.

"Of course, I've been there!" the old lady glanced, "Most of the older generation here have moved away or died. I am the only serious local who is left! No one else knows about Linglong Tower. I know it very well!”

"This old lady must be telling lies!" Qian Duoduo dragged me, "Let's find someone else!"

"No!" the old lady said anxiously, "I've really been there! No one usually talks to me, but it's not easy to find two people who are willing to talk to me!"

"Grandma, have you really been to Linglong Tower?"

As soon as I knelt down and finished speaking, I received a gentle slap on the head.

"You can't say that! If we mentioned Linglong Pagoda when we were children, we would be beaten! The adults wouldn't let us mention Linglong Pagoda, let alone go up the mountain!"

"why?"

"Xiehu!" The old lady's wrinkled face scrunched up, and then she lowered her voice. "Our parents and grandparents used the Linglong Tower to scare us, saying that there were evil spirits inside that specialized in eating children. Children are so easy to fool, and they were all scared to death! When I went up the mountain to cut pigs, weeds, and pull wild vegetables, I could only do it in the mountains. Go during the day, and you must go in groups with your friends, otherwise your parents will find out and you will be beaten severely when you go back!"

After Qian Duoduo glanced at me, he returned his gaze to the old lady.

"Old lady, didn't you say you had been there?"

"Been there!" The old lady looked around with a strange look on her face. "Anyway, my parents are dead, so I'm not afraid of being beaten! I was ten years old that year, maybe. My dog ​​went out and didn't come back for a while. The puppy and I get together every day, and we hug each other when we sleep. He is my little friend. , seeing that the sun had gone down, it still didn’t come home, so I went up the mountain to look for it. Halfway up the mountain, I heard a dog barking, and after searching for the barking, I finally found the puppy. The puppy was looking at a certain place, desperately trying to Yelling, grinning! My little dog is usually very well-behaved, and will never bite when it sees people wagging its tail!"

"and then?"

"Then I saw a very beautiful girl standing on the roadside, but her feet were stuck in the mud. I kindly went over to pull her, but the dog barked even more fiercely. The puppy rushed to bite the girl, but was The little sister looked so frightened that she whimpered, and then ran away with her tail between her legs. I didn't care about the little sister and chased her with all my strength, and then I saw a tower as tall as a man!"

"Old lady, you must be making up a story!" Qian Duoduo dismissed it, "How can a tower be so short? What kind of tower is a tower that is as tall as one person?"

"Little girl, I'm not talking nonsense! The outside of the tower is as tall as a person, but the inside is so deep that you can't see the bottom. The dog barks at the inside, but the sound of a child giggling can be heard from inside. The sound is very far away It was very far away, there were echoes, and it didn’t look like it was alone! I didn’t have any lighting tools, and I didn’t dare to look down, so I grabbed the dog and left! But, we were lost!”

"Lost!" Suddenly, my heart lifted. "Grandma, how did you get out in the end?"

"It's the little sister from before! The little sister stood aside, her feet were still stuck in the mud, and she stretched out her hands without saying a word, as if to guide the way. I didn't dare to think too much, and ran along as hard as I could, at intervals. I can see the young lady again, and finally I can go down the mountain smoothly!"

Speaking of this, the old lady sighed softly.

"I got beaten again when I got home, but I didn't dare to tell an adult about it! I felt that the girl was not a human being, but she didn't harm me, and I didn't want to harm her."

"Old lady, do you still remember the road?"

"I don't remember! I don't remember! My memory is good and bad sometimes, and sometimes my ears don't work! By the way, why are you looking for me?"

"Thank you grandma!"

After leaving with Qian Duoduo, I pointed at her mobile phone.

"How are you doing there?"

"The owner is not here and my message is unread."

Just as he was talking about this, Qian Duoduo's cell phone heard a 'didi-di' notification sound.

Qian Duoduo hurriedly opened it and saw the shop owner's reply.

Shopkeeper: I was busy just now.
