The real world, Sichuan Province, a cabin near Mihuntang.
"Hey...those melon boys just don't listen to advice."
An old man sat at the door, looking at the misty woods not far away, and took a long puff of his pipe.
His wife came out with a steaming bowl of clear soup noodles in her hands.
"That little melon boy is a fool, and he deserves to die."
"Intruding into the Holy Land of Ecstasy and disturbing the gods, what good outcome can there be?"
After hearing this, the old man smoked harder. After a while, he started coughing violently, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs. It sounded very scary.
"I told you to smoke less and smoke less, but you just didn't listen! I'm afraid you're going to die before me."
The old woman continued to eat her clear noodle soup, with an expression that made her seem stupid and not worried about the old man's life and death.
I coughed for a long time and finally stopped.
He took another long puff, and then let out a long sigh. The smoke spurted out from his mouth, transformed into various strange shapes, and finally dissipated.
It was hard to find energy in his cloudy eyes, and the wrinkles on his face were deep and deep.
The arms were as skinny as skin and bones, and there was a layer of black dirt under the fingernails that probably couldn't be washed off.
…
These two old men are guarding the entrance to Mihuntang. Of course, there is more than one entrance.
At least there's more than one now.
It is difficult to find out exactly when the two of them started guarding here, because no one who knew the past of the two of them was dead.
For these two old people, even the birth times on their ID cards were roughly inferred and not true...
When Koga and the others entered Mt. Taipa, they would usually greet the two old men in advance and ask them to do something.
Although there were a few accidents, at least the vast majority of people came back alive.
But last time, due to the urgency of the matter and the fact that the two old men were not at their residence at the time and did not know where they were, they went directly to Mihundang.
As a result... only one person came out alive...
Are you talking about being mysterious or not?
In short, it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.
This time, Koga specially sent someone to come over in advance to discuss with them about entering the Ecstasy. This time, both Koga and Su Tianyang would go.
It can be considered the biggest operation in the past ten years. After all, it has never been heard of high-level officials personally entering.
…
After finishing his cigarette, the old man glanced at his wife and said, "Xiao Gu and the others will go in again in two days, so you can get it for them then."
"We're going in again. Are these melons so not afraid of death?"
"Ha, poke, poke, poke. You can do it for them when the time comes. I'm too lazy to do it. I'll hit these people on the head when I see them!" The old woman had a look of hatred on her face. She really hated people like Koga from the bottom of her heart.
"You should calm down your temper. You are already several years old." The old man's tone was a little doting, but it was hard to hear it.
But how could the old woman not hear it? Her eyes flickered for a moment, and then her tone became complicated: "Old, old man, could it be that you..."
"It's late... go to bed early." The old man waved his hand and interrupted.
…
It's until midnight.
Tonight's Ecstasy is covered in thick fog. If you go deep inside, it's like a fairyland.
However, anyone who knows something about Mt. Mt. knows that foggy Mt. Mt. is the scariest thing, especially the thick fog now.
When encountering thick fog, a narrow escape is considered a good thing.
The thick fog tonight is the same as usual, but it seems a little different.
The thick fog will flow in strange directions from time to time, as if something is passing through the thick fog, breaking the dense fog that was originally a whole.
The night was eerily silent.
…
In a simple wooden house, two old men were lying on the same bed.
The furnishings are very simple, but there is a mysterious yellow talisman stuck on the door and window. There are strange red runes drawn on the talisman paper, and it is hard to tell what it means.
Suddenly, a strange gust of wind came.
The yellow talisman attached to the window was blown down silently...
…
"Honey, where is the toilet water... The mosquitoes are so itchy at night." The old man said in a daze.
He didn't open his eyes, but his left hand was scratching his right arm.
The sound of the fingernails rubbing against the skin is very loud, as if the skin is being scratched through. It sounds a bit scratchy.
He pushed the old woman, and she finally responded.
"It's on the ground over there. You can look for it yourself."
The old man responded, then endured the itch, stretched out his hand from the bed and touched the ground.
After touching for a long time, I found nothing except my own shoes.
Just when the old man was about to turn on the light and look for it, he suddenly touched a bottle.
found it.
The old man planned to take the thing back, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by something, and he couldn't lift it no matter how hard he tried.
It's like something has been waiting for you under the bed. When you reach out your hand or foot, it suddenly grabs you and never lets go...
The old man could feel that his hand had been grabbed.
After struggling to no avail, the old man murmured in a low voice, "Let her go and let her live for a few more years...Thank you."
…
The next day, early morning.
Early in the morning, Su Tianyang was woken up by Koga.
It's only just under 6 o'clock now...it's a bit too early.
However, Koga said with a panicked look: "Brother Yang, it's not good, the old forest guard I told you yesterday is dead!"
"Dead?!" Su Tianyang exclaimed.
Yesterday, Koga talked about this matter in a very mysterious way, saying that this time they must let the old forest guard do something for them and bless them before they can enter the Ecstasy.
Why is he dead now?
So sudden?
"Let's go there together. I heard from the people below that the death was outrageous..."
…
Soon, Su Tianyang and Koga got into a jeep and sped towards the ranger's residence.
The two places are actually not that far apart, but the road is difficult to drive, so it took nearly thirty minutes to get there.
The first thing Su Tianyang saw was a path full of fallen leaves. At the end of the path was a simple wooden house.
And further behind is the legendary Mihuntang.
Su Tianyang had already heard from Koga that the forest guards were an old couple. They didn't know why, but they had a hard life.
Living so close to Mihuntang, nothing happened.
Of course, this statement has been broken today.
Get off the car and walk.
Before Su Tianyang could get closer, he heard an old woman crying hysterically.
"It's all your fault!"
"It's all your fault!"
"I asked you to seal this mountain, but you didn't listen! You just didn't listen!"
"Time after time, time after time, you disturb the gods. It's you who deserve to die!"
"It's you!"
"Give me back the old man, give me back the old man!"
After getting closer, Su Tianyang finally saw the forest guard who was rumored to be very evil.
Although the old woman was crying and fussing, the corners of her eyes were very dry, and it was obvious that she had never shed a tear from beginning to end.
The person covered with white cloth on the ground was the old man who helped Koga and the others do this.
Just when Koga was looking at the corpse, the mouth covered by the white cloth suddenly protruded!
