Thousand Lantern Night

It turns out that the people living in Xiwang Village are the Shouling family.After confirming those things, I don't have a good opinion of the Shouling people at all, even though their own fate is indeed embarrassing.

But because of the roar of this stupid donkey, I suddenly figured out a problem.

The administrator of the tourist area is right in saying that this Fenglingdu has changed geographically, and it is obvious that what we are looking for is Gufenglingdu.As for this place name, we are conceptually misled by the current Fenglingdu, and we take it for granted that Fenglingdu refers to the ferry.But since there is a Mausoleum Clan here, it means that the Fengling they are referring to is a mausoleum!

Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty mentioned the legendary Nuwa Mausoleum in "Shui Jing Zhu He Shui Si": "It is directly to the north of the Guan, and there are layers of mounds across the river. The south of the mountains and the north of the river are called Yang, which happens to be the place where Xiwang Village is located.

Pokerfing had inquired about the village we were looking for before, and everyone had the surname Cong Feng. Coincidentally, isn't the legendary Nuwa lineage also surnamed Feng?Another legend also mentions that Fuxi and Nuwa are both siblings and husband and wife, so this is also consistent with the close reproduction of the Feng village.In other words, the Feng surnamed village we are looking for should be near Fengling.As long as we find the wind tomb guarded by this village, we will be able to find that mysterious village.

In other words, the so-called Fengling village is simply Fengling.

This conclusion made me instantly excited.But things like excitement are prone to impotence, because I soon discovered that the problem was back to the original point: we still don't know where the Fengling guarded by the people in the village in front of us is.This question still has to be asked of them, but their attitude shows that it is impossible to have a pleasant peace talk.

Besides, the most important thing right now is not this issue, but the personal safety of Poker-Face and I.

The administrator waved his hand to signal the crowd to be silent.He nodded to the clansmen surrounding the road, and there was a gap there. "You don't know anything now, go on your own. If you touch something here, you have to leave the body today."

Pointing to the road, beckoning us to leave.

Poker bottle grabbed my hand and pressed my palm hard.I glanced at him in confusion, and he nodded at me.

I said yes, let's go out first and then talk.

Then the two of us slowly backed out along the gap in the human wall.When I got behind the last person, Poyouping suddenly grabbed one of them with one hand, pushed them into the crowd, and then grabbed me and ran quickly to the center of the village.

Only then did I suddenly realize that he planned to force his way in!

There was an uproar behind him, and someone soon caught up.

The two of us ran as soon as we saw the road, but because we were not familiar with the terrain, the villagers soon surrounded us from the west and surrounded us.Moreover, this weird village seems to be bottomless. We have been running for a long time and it seems that we are only circling around the edge.Seeing that the angry clansmen were about to kill them soon, Poker-Face could not help but drag me to the back of the mountain. When I ran to the middle of the mountain, I saw a dilapidated house, and Poker-Face kicked the door open.

The house was pitch-dark, we ducked in, covered the door and slipped to the window.Porky Bottle poked open a gap with his fingers and looked outside.

The fire was blazing in the woods outside, and the villagers quickly chased them up the mountain.But when they came to this broken house, those people suddenly stopped and stopped approaching, shouting from a distance.I vaguely heard it as if I was shouting "They entered XX's house", but I didn't dare to chase after him like that.After a while, some people left, and the rest were still poking there and staring at us.My startled heart calmed down a bit, and I leaned against the window and exhaled.

I was about to ask Pokerfing what he was going to do next, when suddenly Pokerfing stretched out his arms to block in front of me, at the same time, I felt something in the darkness was watching us.It means that you obviously can't see the other person, but you can feel that the person who comes face to face and meets the eyes is not kind.

After a two-second stalemate, Poker-Face grabbed me with his backhand and slowly took two steps forward.Poker-Face may have relatively strong night vision ability, but this kind of environment is completely blind to me.In fact, there is moonlight outside the house, but the strange thing is that there is no light at all in this house.I screamed in my heart that it was terrible, this passive situation made people very uncomfortable.

Poker-Face slowly squatted down, I guess he was drawing the dagger on his boots, and immediately realized that the feeling just now was correct.

There was indeed something in the house.

At this time, I was also very nervous, and subconsciously wanted to take out my phone to take pictures of the situation.Suddenly Xiaobai woke up suddenly, bared his teeth and groaned angrily, then jumped out of my chest.Immediately afterwards, the sound of a stool being knocked over in the room was heard, and Xiao Bai jumped into the corner, biting something together, barking and rolling.

Porky Bottle flicked over quickly, and thrust his sword into that thing.But it should have missed, the sound of the dagger being nailed to the stone wall was very harsh.

Xiaobai also stopped, and kept making warning sounds under my feet.

Poker Bottle fumbled around the wall, as if he wanted to turn on the light.I heard him pull the cord, but there was no electricity in the house.

Suddenly something cold fell on the back of my neck, and then it circled around my neck very quickly, and a huge pulling force lifted me up.

I suddenly realized that the thing was on the beam!I grabbed the thing on the back of the neck with my backhand. It was wet and slippery to the touch, like an eel.

With a roar, Xiaobai quickly crawled along my legs to my shoulder, and bit the eel in one bite.The eel suddenly let go, and I squatted down before landing, barely falling.Poker-Face had already reacted, reached out his hand to stop me, and shot the dagger at me with a flick of his hand.

The blade of the sword was nailed into the wooden beam, and there was a sharp cry, like that of a monkey.There seemed to be a tear on the top, and soon there was no movement.

The thing should have been injured, but escaped.

After being quiet for a while, Poker Bottle came up and touched me to make sure it was all right, and turned around to look for something to ignite.Only then did I realize that this house must have been unoccupied for a long time, and it was full of cobwebs and dust. The cobweb that was lifted up and hit one end in mid-air just now.I rubbed my face vigorously to remove the ashes, the feeling of being covered was terrible.

Porky Bottle found the flint and steel, found a pile of rags in the corner, lit it, and threw it on the ground in the middle of the room.

We walked around in circles. The shape of this house is relatively simple. It is a low stone building with only two rooms, one living room and one living room.There is no furniture, just a chest of drawers next to the bed in the living room.We rummaged through the drawer and found an ID with a torn membrane.

The certificate was stamped with the red steel seal of Fenglingdu Tourist Area, and it was a work permit.On the left is a two-inch headshot of a wrinkled elderly man. His face is dry, thin, and dark, like a shriveled sweet potato.The name column on the right reads: Zamba Soren, whose job is ferryman.

It seems that the manager of the tourist area did not lie to us about this. There is indeed a ferryman like Zamba in this village.We also sneaked into his house in a crooked manner.

But, something is wrong with this thing.One is that the administrator's attitude is inconsistent, and the other is that if they are very concerned about us coming to Zamba, why did they allow us to enter his house and not come in to stop it.The most important point is that no one lives in this house at all.

I was still rummaging in the drawer, trying to find some more information, but Poker Bottle grabbed my arm and motioned me to look behind.

There was a trail of water on the floor where the threshold came in, and it dragged all the way to the bed.There was a large wet spot on the ground in front of the bed.

I was taken aback.Because when we came in, I was pretty sure the ground must be dry.Otherwise, Boyouying and I should have noticed this unusual wet mark first.

Apparently something had come in during the few minutes we had been rummaging through the boxes.This kind of speed and skill that even Poker Bottle could not detect really surprised me, even frightened me.

Looking at the drag mark on the ground, the size of that thing is not small, at least as big as a ten-year-old child.

Poker bottle motioned me not to move, then he stood up and walked towards the bed.

To some extent, it cannot be called a bed, it can only be called a kang.Because it was directly piled up with mud on the ground, tamped and flattened, and the mud dried up over the years, and it became a bed.There was a pile of hay scattered on the kang, Poker bottle went up to clean up the grass, and beckoned me to look over.

The other side of the kang is integrated with the wall, and near the corner of the wall, there is a flat hole on the mud kang.The wet mark on the ground just now dragged all the way to the entrance of the hole, obviously that thing went down.

Xiaobai jumped off my shoulders, sniffed at the entrance of the cave for a long time, then suddenly pulled up at the entrance of the cave with his two front paws. After scraping off some soil, he rushed his head in and got stuck in his belly.It kicked its hind legs a few times, and got into the hole.

There was the sound of falling water from the cave, and it sounded a bit high.Immediately afterwards, the sound of the water became intense, as if a fight had started, and a burst of fighting water splashed everywhere.I was quite worried about Xiaobai, but there was nothing I could do.This earthen kang has been solid for decades, and it takes a lot of effort to dig it open.

Soon Xiaobai came up, clutching the hole with wet front paws, desperately trying to squeeze out.But there was a black thing wrapped around its neck, which seemed to be dragging it in, and Xiao Bai couldn't get rid of it.

I quickly dragged Xiaobai up.I didn't expect the thing below to be so powerful. I pulled it like a tug-of-war for a long time. Xiaobai got stuck in the hole back and forth, screaming anxiously. When I pulled Xiaobai out a little, Pokerfing grabbed it After grabbing the thing, he dragged it out of the hole all at once, and slammed it on the top of the hard mud kang a few times.

The thing was thrown on the ground, probably fainted by the fall, and stayed quietly for two seconds.Before I could see what it looked like, it suddenly spun around obliquely, quickly retreated into the corner on the other side, and stood upright to face us.

Only then did I have time to see it clearly.But don't know how to describe it.

Please imagine the following: It is like a big carp standing up, but it is much bigger than a carp as a whole, more than one meter high, as big as a ten-year-old child.Its body is not scales, but layers of wrinkled skin like a Shar Pei.In the place where the mouth of a fish used to be, a human-like face grew, complete with all five senses.

The face was also wrinkled, and the eyes were triangular because of the sagging of the skin.Where the ears were originally, there were many octopus-like tentacles of different thicknesses hanging down. Two of the tentacles were longer than its body, and they hung down like that, causing it to move in a strange way.It's a bit like a fish swimming, or running with legs.

I was startled by the weird species in front of me, and Poker Face whispered something in my ear before I realized it.

He said it was Zamba.

When he said that, I was right!Just looking at that face, although it is terribly wrinkled, it is indeed very similar to the photo we just saw!If it is restored to the human face in proportion, it is Zamba himself!

At this moment, my phone suddenly vibrated, and I took it out to see that it was Xiao Hua calling.
