The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 393
'I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because I am in this mountain. '

In the mountains in the early morning, the fog all night made the mountain road a bit slippery. We walked all the way in the valley, and at the beginning we could see Xiaogudun. When we went deep, we saw lush forests. As long as the vegetation is lush, being in it, the dense shade of trees blocks the sun, and the streams in the mountains are trickling. When you are tired from walking, you can wash your face with a handful of stream water, which is quite pleasant.

Tan Ren was leading the way along the way, and he was holding the ghostly talisman-like map of the mountain shape in his hand. Although Tan Ren could calculate the approximate location of Zhou Xuanye, if we were not familiar with the mountain shape, it would be easy for us to detour.

There are more than a dozen green hills drawn on this mountain map, but only five mountains need to be turned around. They start from different mountain ranges and intersect and meet, making the center of the mountain a low valley.Tan Ren knows Feng Shui. He said that this kind of pattern is called "Five Elements Treasure Point", which is formed by the intersection of mountain ranges. The low valley is where the dragon veins and earth energy are located. According to the acupoint method of the Yin House, this place is suitable for group burials. The ancients paid great attention to geomantic omen when building mausoleums and tombs. Now that the terrain is excellent, there must be quite a lot of ancient tombs in the valley. No wonder Ke Xiangu was unlucky and encountered tomb robbers.

When traveling around the mountains, Ke Xiangu usually circled around the mountainsides of the five big mountains, but never entered the valley.According to his husband's general, the locals there call it Wanlingkeng, which is the so-called upper mausoleum and lower tomb.

Generally, people of the princely level have mausoleums. Mausoleums are surface buildings built on tombs. The ancients paid attention to death as life. The mausoleums of princes are underground palaces, where corpses and funerary objects are placed. The mausoleum above the tomb is dedicated to the mourning hall of the deceased. There are maids and servants living in the mausoleum, and three meals a day, melon and fruit snacks are offered on time every day as before.

That Wanlingkeng is now a low valley and desolate forest, but it is said that in ancient times, there was a mausoleum in that place, and the people who guarded the mausoleum were hundreds of people. Hou Ling has disappeared without a trace, and even the mountain road has long since disappeared.

However, the results calculated by Tan Ren are strange, according to the deduced hexagrams, Zhou Xuanye and Ke Xiangu are safe, but they are in danger of disaster, that is to say, among these mountains, there are still a group of very They are fierce people, Zhou Xuanye and his wife are likely to encounter disaster after encountering this group of people.

This is why Tan Ren changed color at that time.

According to the hexagrams, combined with the ghostly map in our hand, it can be deduced that Zhou Xuanye and his wife entered the Wanling Pit for some reason.Fortunately, there is no need to go over mountains and ridges to enter Wanlingkeng. You only need to follow the low valley mountain road among the mountains, which will not take much time. We will be able to enter Wanlingkeng at noon tomorrow if we do not delay.

Stopping and stopping like this, at sunset, we found a flat place to camp. Over the past year, I have enough experience in camping in the wild, so I quickly set up a tent and lit a bonfire. I wanted to go to the stream not far away to catch a fish and roast it. Later, I thought that there were many wild animals in this deep mountain. It would be better not to attract any beasts by roasting. At that moment, the three of them boiled some hot water, Had dinner with vegetable pie and beef jerky.

Out of caution, although we didn't encounter any poisonous snakes or beasts during the whole day, the three of us arranged to take turns to watch the night. Naturally, we stayed in the first half of the night, I stayed in the middle, and Tan Ren stayed in the second half of the night.

After walking the mountain road for a day, everyone was very tired, so after eating and drinking, Tan Ren and I got into the tent, and I fell asleep after a while.

The exercise in the past year has really made me a lot more alert, so when I go to the wild, I don’t sleep as dead as usual, and I wake up when there is a slight disturbance. I don’t know how long it has passed. It's almost time, why hasn't Tianrandai come to ask me to change shift?
Could it be that the time is not up?When people are drowsy, they can’t think clearly. After thinking about it, I continued to sleep and slept for a while. I felt that something was wrong, so I opened my eyes reluctantly, raised my wrist and looked at my watch. I jumped, it was already past three o'clock in the morning, and it stands to reason that I would get up at twelve o'clock to take over, so why didn't that kid call me?

I thought something was wrong, so I couldn't help but quickly climbed out of the tent, only to find that Tianrandai was sitting there, watching something with a tablet in his hand.I leaned over to take a look, and found that it was a professional book on the universe and celestial bodies. There were a lot of symbols in it. I just thought it was like reading a book from heaven, but this kid read it with great interest, and from time to time he had to stare at a certain sentence and think for a long time.

The brain of a genius is really beyond the comprehension of us ordinary people. I shook my head and said, "Why don't you call me."

"Not sleepy." I absolutely believe this. Natural Dai is different from that perverted sleepy man. He doesn't seem to sleep much. He belongs to the category of people who sleep the latest and get angry the earliest, but are full of energy, but even so , I can’t let people stay up all night, I said: "Go to rest, I will watch in the second half of the night." As for Tan Ren, let him sleep well.

Tianran didn't refuse, nodded and got into the tent. I felt bored, so I buckled his tablet and opened the stand-alone game inside to play. This kid is super intelligent. He didn't know the car from the very beginning. So far, all kinds of high technology have been played through.

I played the game for more than an hour. I lowered my head for a long time and felt a little sore in my neck. When I turned off the tablet and planned to get up and move around, when I looked up, I suddenly saw a faint light coming from the distance. The light was It suddenly appeared, like the light of a flashlight, and it was still approaching us.

In the middle of the night, who else would be active in the mountains?

I squinted my eyes and watched for a while, and saw that the light was getting closer and closer. After a while, a group of people came out from the darkness, four men and one woman, carrying black equipment bags. Stern, looking at me from a distance with a flashlight through the firelight.

At first glance, this group of people is not the name of the village under the mountain. Looking at the thick equipment bags and the slightly fierce expression, I thought that I was afraid that the visitors were not friendly.They obviously had no intention of dealing with us, and soon they changed direction and left. It seemed that they were going to travel all night, and they didn't know where they were going.

This group of people quickly disappeared from my sight. Just as I was confused and thinking about what these people were doing, when I turned around, I found that Tianrandai and Tan Ren were both awake, standing silently. Behind me, we looked at the group of people walking away together.

I was startled: "Boss, can you make some noise when you come out? People are scary, scary."

Tan Renli ignored me, stared at the location where the group of people disappeared, and said, "What are they doing?"

I said: "I don't know, and I didn't say anything, but it's quite fierce. The leader is a woman, and it doesn't look simple."

Tan Ren pursed his lips, and said: "There are so many people, they shouldn't be poachers, could it be..." He frowned, and finally didn't say anything, then got into the tent and fell asleep again, and had nothing to say since then.In the early morning of the next day, we got up early and went on our way. Due to the heavy fog at night, the footprints of those people last night were clearly left behind. After walking for a while, I was shocked to find that their route seemed to be the same as ours. , is also going to the location of Wanlingkeng.

I was shocked, and after thinking about it based on the surrounding environment, I immediately guessed the identities of those people: "Boss, could they be grave robbers?"

Tan Ren nodded slightly, indicating that this possibility is very high. Generally, there will only be four kinds of people in this deep mountain and old forest. Poachers, but there are not so many poachers; the third is some mountain treasures. There are many wild delicacies in the mountains, which cannot be cultivated artificially. High-end restaurants for sale.The fourth is people who rob tombs or treasures. I don’t know if there are treasures in this place, but there are many ancient tombs in Wanling Pit. In this way, the identities of those people can almost be confirmed.

"Why are there so many tomb robbers?" Ke Xiangu mentioned before that there were no tomb robbers on their side before. In the past six months, outsiders often came into the mountain with equipment on their backs, and they always inquired about the Wanling Pit. Tomb robbers.

But the village is full of old people, and they don't easily provoke right and wrong, and those people don't seem to have caused anything, so no one called the police.

I thought of the ferocious expressions and hostility of those people, and I couldn't help but say: "You figured out that brother Zhou will be in trouble, so it shouldn't just be on these people, right?"

Tan Ren shook his head slightly to express his uncertainty, but he still urged us to speed up.

At noon, we walked into a deep valley. According to the map of the ghost painting, this deep valley is a valley between two mountains, but because of the great difference in the shape of the mountains on both sides, it looks more like a cracked canyon. Through this canyon, you can enter Wanlingkeng.

Both sides of the canyon are steep stone walls, and various shrubs grow on it, all of which make a living from the cracks in the rocks.Summer is the period when snakes are active. From time to time, you can see big brown snakes on the bushes, lazily basking in the sun on the trees.

Going all the way, not long after, we found some food packaging bags on the ground, and some ants were carrying the debris in the packaging bags. It seemed that they should be left by the group of people yesterday.

Thinking of the unconcealable hostility of those people, we were all a little anxious and didn't dare to delay. We ate while walking, rushing all the way forward.

In the afternoon, the valley came to an end, and at the end was a field of wormwood that was as tall as a person. There were obvious traces of someone walking by, and a road had been pressed out. Flying and flying, insects are densely covered, and once you walk in, your whole body is hairy.
