Long Xiaoxu was startled and looked at me with a very solemn expression: "The yin energy is very strong there!"
"Is it really a ghost?" Zuo Yan also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Yao Lao looked at the black mist, his brows narrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan": "It's thicker than before!"
"Come on, those forest rangers are coming down!" I glanced at the nearby hills, in the forest where the leaves had fallen, and I could vaguely see several figures rushing towards me. I really didn't realize that these rangers were from the Taibai Mountain Forest Reserve.
The officer was so competent, and even the one who got up early in the morning was patrolling the mountain.
"Holy shit, you're awesome!" Da Zhuang cursed and hurried forward.
The road conditions in the valley here have improved a lot, and a few people started running wildly. I don’t know how long they ran. Anyway, just when I saw Wu Xiaoxu panting and couldn’t run anymore, I heard Da Zhuang’s wolf howl again: “
Damn it, they're catching up again! Run!"
I looked back and saw seven or eight forest rangers hundreds of meters behind me, jumping up and down like rabbits. They were so fast that they were not much slower than at the beginning. I took a few breaths.
Exasperated, I looked up and saw that there was no road less than 200 meters ahead. The valley was blocked by a cliff, which was 200 to 300 meters high and it was impossible to climb up.
"Yao Lao, what should we do? Do we have to climb up from both sides?" I asked breathlessly.
The old guy didn't say anything, but still ran forward fiercely. Long Xiaoxu's face turned pale: "Hurry, run quickly, run over first and then talk."
"Oh my God!" I cursed in my heart, and then shouted to Long Xiaoxu: "Hurry up, I'll run with you on my back!"
"No need for you, I'll do it!" Suddenly Zuo Yan ran over and before Long Xiaoxu could say anything, he carried the latter on his back and ran forward quickly.
When several people ran to the cliff, Da Zhuang was exhausted. He gasped and shouted: "Damn it, Yao Lao, don't say you want to continue climbing the mountain?! If this is the case, I will shoot and follow the group behind."
Rabbit did it!”
Yao Lao didn't say anything, and ran straight to the far end of the river valley. Under the eyes of the four people, the old guy disappeared in the blink of an eye!
"Holy shit! Let's go!" I grabbed Da Zhuang and hurriedly ran towards the place where Yao Lao disappeared.
"Holy shit, I'm almost frothing at the mouth when I run! How can this old boy be so strong? What kind of stuff can he eat to make up for it!" Da Zhuang cursed as he ran.
Soon the four of them ran to the place where Yao Lao disappeared just now. Among the withered yellow weeds, there was a large hole nearly half a meter in diameter! I looked down. It was not deep, just over two meters. Yao Lao
He was standing below waving.
I jumped down without saying a word, and then hugged Xiaoxu down again. By the time Da Zhuang and Zuo Yan came down, several gunshots had been heard outside.
"Come on, they are coming!" Da Zhuang shouted as soon as he got up.
Several people hurriedly followed Yao Lao to climb up a large stone step in front. Less than ten meters further in, another huge stone step two meters high appeared. As soon as they climbed up, they sat down and leaned against each other.
Someone shouted from the stone wall: "Oh, I can't go on anymore, I can't walk anymore! Damn it, if they dare to come in again, I will kill these people!"
Yao Lao also leaned against the rock wall and said, "This is no longer a protected area. What's wrong?"
I took a look at this cave. The ground was made up and down by the huge rocks in front of me, making it extremely difficult to walk. I don’t know how this road condition was formed. On the road that should have been relatively flat, many two-meter-high rocks suddenly appeared.
There are huge boulders running across the entire cave, and in some places there are several of them appearing one after another! Just looking at them gives people a headache.
"Liu Captain, they have entered, do you want to chase them?" A shout suddenly came from outside the cave.
Then there was another cold snort: "Forget it, I checked this road before and it leads to Yaomei Mountain. If you really enter that mountain, the possibility of coming out alive is very small!"
"What if they don't go to Yaomei Mountain and come out after we leave?" another person said.
Team Liu just said "hmm" and then said: "Otherwise, brothers, please work hard these two days and stay here in shifts to find a good hiding place. If they are really poachers, they shouldn't have brought much food."
"Yes!" Several people shouted immediately from outside the cave.
A few people took a short rest in the cave and then walked forward. The cave was very long and winding, and the road was really difficult to walk. The five of them spent nearly two hours in it before they came out. According to Yao Lao,
Fortunately, it is very cold now. If it were summer, there would be many venomous snakes in this cave. And if there is a heavy rain, this cave will be flooded.
"Huh -" Da Zhuang let out a long sigh of relief: "Damn, I figured it out!"
Long Xiaoxu straightened his hair and exclaimed: "This valley is so strange!"
I looked ahead, and couldn't help but murmur in my heart. This valley was indeed very strange. It seemed to grow out of the two peaks that were originally connected together. The rock walls hundreds of meters high on both sides were like knives cutting through them.
It is as flat and vertical as an axe. In this valley that is 50 to 60 meters wide, even the rock walls hundreds of meters high are bare, and there is very little vegetation!
"Sneeze!" Zuo Yan sneezed suddenly and tightened his clothes: "There is not even a bit of wind in this place, and it is even colder than outside."
"Quack quack quack..."
Suddenly, several sleeping crows standing on the cliff were awakened by Zuo Yan's sneezing, and they began to scream and fly towards the valley together.
"This is Huangquan Valley..." Yao Laocao spoke for a long time in Shaanxi dialect, and I could only understand a rough idea.
It is a legend about Huangquan Valley, or rather a story of the Qin Dynasty passed down orally by the older generation. It is said that a long time ago, there was an official family named Qin in the Qinling Mountains. All the members of the family were important officials of the Qin Dynasty. There was only one daughter in the family.
Her maiden name is Yaomei. She is as beautiful as a fairy. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. No one in the Qinling Mountains can match her. She is regarded as the apple of her eye by this family.
But the good times did not last long. Qin Shihuang died, Qin II ascended the throne, and Zhao Gao tried to bring chaos to the country. Once Zhao Gao came to Qin's house as a guest and met Yaomei by chance, so he wanted to give the girl to Qin II Hu Hai. Yaomei refused, but came to
Unable to resist Zhao Gao's power and oppression, the Qin family finally compromised. To say that such a sister is really
A fierce temperament, when the carriage reached this valley, Yaomei suddenly jumped out of the car and shouted to the person who came to marry: This place is no longer my Qin family, Yaomei's life and death have nothing to do with it anymore. The second Qin Dynasty was debauched and innocent.
He said, "Zhao Gao has brought disaster to the country and the people, so Yaomei cursed these two people with a death curse. They will be punished by God and never recover!"
He glanced at the Qin family deep in the mountains from afar, then hit the wall and committed suicide! After Yaomei died, her soul turned into the black mist-shrouded mountain in front of her. The original name of this mountain was Yaomei Mountain.
Later, when Zhao Gao heard about this, he became furious and ordered several powerful wizards to cast a spell to curse the mountain. On the day when the spell was cast, the clouds were densely covered, the day was like night, and dozens of black lightning struck Yaomei Mountain like ghosts.
It lasted for seven days.
After seven days, Yaomei Mountain was shrouded in black mist, and ghosts and howls could be heard in the blue sky and daylight. It is said that those wizards opened up the earth veins under Yaomei Mountain, leading directly to the underworld, and the underworld's Yin Qi suddenly spurted out like a flood spring.
, and went straight to Yaomei Mountain. The black mist that lingered in middle age was transformed by the yin energy of the underworld.
For a long time after that, people saw Yin soldiers taking advantage of the valley at the foot of Yaomei Mountain, accompanied by black strong winds. The Black Wind Valley, known as the Ghost Road, got its name from this. Anyone who entered the Black Wind Valley would
He never came out again, and some people even saw him being captured by the Yin soldiers who rushed out of the underworld!
The valley where Yaomei died also gradually evolved into the Huangquan Road in the rumors of future generations. As the water moon passed, people became indifferent to Yaomei, and people often lost their lives in Yaomei Mountain.
, over time, the mountain that was transformed into a strong girl was renamed into Yaomei Mountain!
From this position, Yaomei Mountain is right in front of Huangquan Valley, but it is blocked by several peaks. A few people did not dare to delay. Staying here for a while made people feel faintly uncomfortable.
We walked along the Huangquan Valley to the foot of the peak more than one kilometer ahead. The valley extended around the peak to the left. Everyone did not stop and worked harder to go around the mountain. The Huangquan Valley continued to go northwest. However, again,
Going forward, there is a layer of fog in the valley, and then bypassing the two peaks in front, there is Yaomei Mountain behind.
I looked back at the mountain peak I had just walked around, and couldn't help but take a sharp breath of cold air. On this side of the mountain, on the hillside hundreds of meters high, there was not a single tree! The entire mountain was just bare and barren rocks, which made it even more disturbing.
What is incredible is that these rocks are all black!
"What's going on? Why are the rocks all black?" Da Zhuang said as he scratched with his saber: "Damn, it's all black inside!"
"This valley is facing Yaomei Mountain, and the evil spirit overflows along the Huangquan Valley and rushes straight into the mountain wall. Over the years, the vegetation on the mountain wall eventually withered. But I didn't expect the evil spirit to be so strong that even the rock wall changed color.
!" Long Xiaoxu frowned slightly.
I cracked a piece and looked at it, and suddenly I felt a little unbelievable. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? What Long Xiaoxu said seemed too mysterious, and I couldn’t agree with it. This black boulder should all be made of basalt. If I
If you guessed it correctly, not only the north side, but also the entire mountain is covered with this kind of black basalt, but the front is covered with vegetation and surface soil, so it cannot be seen.
After telling a few people about his idea, Da Zhuang didn't believe it and ran back alone to try it out. I was right! Zuo Yan asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the basalt?"
"I don't know if you have heard of the saying, 'Bi Xi carries the stele, and Xuanwu suppresses evil spirits'! In Feng Shui, it is important to place a black basalt stone tablet with Bi Xi on its back in the place directly facing the evil spirits, so as to ward off evil spirits.
." I said.
Da Zhuang scratched his head: "According to what you said, it's a coincidence that Xuanwu Mountain appears here? Unless some great god put it here!"
I shook my head: "I also think the appearance of this mountain is a bit strange, but it is placed here, just like what Miss Long said, to block the strong evil spirit in the valley."
"The top of this mountain is called Black Rock Mountain." Yao Lao puffed his pipe and said, "Can we leave?"
Everyone nodded and hurriedly walked towards the depths of the deep valley shrouded in thick fog. As soon as they walked less than 200 meters, a light layer of fog enveloped them.
"Damn, why does this fog smell so bad!" Da Zhuang shouted with a frown.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cry of "croak, croak, croak..." suddenly came from the valley ahead. Through the thin mist, a large group of black shadows could be vaguely seen hovering in the valley, seeming to be circling around something!
