It was already evening after they got off the train, but the two of them kept silent about rest, chartered a car and drove to the deep mountain.

Because it was a temporary call, the boss took the opportunity to increase the price, fully doubled, not only that, but also a small and broken van, the inside of which was wet and mixed with a strange smell.

The path is uneven, full of potholes, and the small puddles are full of mud. When the car passes by, a big puddle of water is splashed.

Lu Mingfeng felt a little nauseous from being shaken, it was worse than riding a roller coaster, he would rather ride the flying pterodactyl ten times than ride it again on the way back.

The driver was an old man in his sixties. Seeing them two white and clean college students rushing up the mountain in such a bad weather, he felt more and more strange, "You two students came to this remote place to do What, there isn’t even a scenic spot near here, the weather has been bad recently, and it’s always gloomy before evening, what kind of mountain should I go to at this time, it’s a long life.”

Lu Mingfeng's stomach was churning, and he reluctantly said, "Come to find someone."

The driver felt even more strange, "Looking for someone? There is no one in this mountain! There has never been anyone! Who would live in the mountains! It's not that they have no place to live and are hiding in the mountains."

Ye Shubei took out a guard from his schoolbag, "Brother Driver, this is for you, to keep you safe."

The driver immediately smiled, stopped the car, and tied the guard to the hook hanging from the roof, "We people always believe in this kind of thing, it's just that the guy's talisman is a bit fancy, it looks like a gift for a big boy." It looks like a girl wearing it."

Ye Shubei smiled, "That's the way to look good. Today's things are not only about the effect, but also look good. Brother driver, are you sure no one lives in this mountain, not a single person?"

The driver brother asked about driving steadily. Even though the road was uneven and the visibility was low, he drove smoothly and could chat with them a few words.

"I've lived here since I was a child. There's never been anyone on the mountain. There are a few pheasants, but you can't catch them."

Ye Shubei asked again: "I mean, are there any Taoist temples, such as Taoist priests and monks?"

The driver brother hesitated, "From what you said, I seem to have some impressions. I vaguely remember seeing a person wearing a Taoist robe before. He was quite old and his hair was gray. I remember seeing him standing at the street corner. Holding a bowl in his hand, I don't know if he is begging for alms, this happened many years ago, and I haven't seen it in recent years."

Ye Shubei: "He didn't say he lived on the mountain?"

The driver brother put on a helpless expression, "I really don't remember, it was a long time ago, why do you ask this, do you still plan to practice as a Taoist priest?"

Ye Shubei just smiled and didn't answer, thinking in his heart that the time was right.

Lu Mingfeng was really uncomfortable in the back seat, not to mention the bumpy road, he always felt that there was a strange smell in the car, looking around, suddenly saw a pool of blood on the back of the seat, it was still that A bloodstain of thirst.

Lu Mingfeng suddenly felt cold from the soles of his feet, and his back was soaked. Did this big brother driver kill someone?

He suddenly thought of those news, some college students got into a car of unknown origin, were robbed and killed halfway, and their corpses were abandoned in the wilderness.But after thinking about it, he and Ye Shubei were both tall and big, so they could have done more than 60 drivers.

Ye Shubei was talking nonsense with the driver, when he noticed that Lu Mingfeng's expression was getting more and more strange, he asked, "Are you okay?"

The driver brother looked in the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "The dolls in your city just can't bear the hardship. They vomited like that in the last car. This is for you."

The driver threw a plastic bag and a dilapidated towel back. As soon as Lu Mingfeng took it, he immediately felt nauseated again. The thick smell of blood rushed straight to his ears and nose. He looked at the plastic bag, and there was also a red unknown object inside. , He was so frightened that he collapsed completely, and shouted: "Killer! Killer!"

The driver slammed on the brakes, and the whole car rushed forward. The driver turned around and shouted in dissatisfaction: "What are you shouting for?"

Lu Mingfeng grabbed Ye Shubei, "There's blood! There's blood! This driver killed someone! Does your talisman work on people? If not, let's go to the ground with bare hands!"

Before Ye Shubei could speak, the driver rolled his eyes, "Kill someone, that's dog blood, black dog blood."

"..."

The driver simply took out a cigarette, and after puffing, he said slowly: "It's not peaceful here recently. First, many old people suddenly left. Although they are all elderly, they are still in good health. , It’s strange to say that if you die, you will die. There are also some elder sisters who are not in good health. A while ago, several families were a little crazy. I heard from the older generation that they were bewitched.”

Seeing that they didn't speak, the driver persuaded them again: "It's really not peaceful here recently, especially what kind of mountains are you going to, don't go, it's too unsafe."

Ye Shubei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll come back after looking at it, and then drive."

I finally arrived at the foot of the mountain before evening. It was only three or four o'clock at this time, but the sky was completely dark, accompanied by soft thunder, as if the thunder was completely covered by thick dark clouds.

The driver looked at the sky and confirmed again and again: "Are you really going to go up the mountain?"

Ye Shubei nodded.

The driver seemed to have no psychological burden. Anyway, he had explained everything he needed to tell, and he had no intention of staying here to wait for them. He turned a corner and ran away as if he wanted to go home quickly.

Lu Mingfeng glanced at the phone, the signal was weak, and asked anxiously: "Are we going up the mountain now?"

Ye Shubei nodded, "Yes, right now."

The mountains in front of me were a large area of ​​darkness, and there was only a faint outline in the night, like a monster waiting for an opportunity in the night.

They hadn't walked for half an hour, and the sky was completely dark, and they couldn't see their fingers. Occasionally, there were one or two drops of raindrops on their faces, which felt cold to the touch. The temperature in the mountains would suddenly drop several degrees at night.

Ye Shubei stopped in his tracks, and Lu Mingfeng obediently stood aside without disturbing him.Ye Shubei patted his forehead, his sky eye is always very useful at critical moments, at least it won't hold back.

In a trance, everything in front of him gradually became clear, as if seeing the sun through the clouds, he could feel the veins of every leaf, the raindrops hanging on the branches that were about to fall, the unique smell of the land, and those unusual traces.

Ye Shubei squinted his eyes, and he saw a little golden light in the mountains, it was the light of the talisman seals he drew, and the light was moving forward, he was very grateful that Bai Xiaosheng always carried the talisman seals he drew with him.

Ye Shubei pointed to the front: "Bai Xiaosheng is there, let's go."

The rain started to fall more and more heavily, and the vision was blurred by the rain. Lu Mingfeng just followed Ye Shubei closely and walked in this deep mountain and old forest. Perhaps it was because of the rain that it isolated all the insects, and everything except the footsteps was muddy. Besides, Lu Mingfeng was not afraid at all.

With just one mouthful, the rainwater was poured in, and he didn't get sick after eating it. Lu Mingfeng said, "Fortunately, there is nothing else here, otherwise it would be the end of the two of us."

Ye Shubei was always on the lookout for the movements around him. Their footsteps were fast, and the ray of light seemed not so far away. He said, "What are you referring to?"

"Jackals, tigers, leopards, lions and tigers, they are the kind that can eat people anyway."

Ye Shubei really didn't want to scare him, but now thinking about the situation to comfort others has turned into self-deception, "There are none of these, but there are more powerful ones than them, so they don't appear."

Lu Mingfeng's face stiffened, and he asked, "But that black mist?"

Ye Shubei nodded, "Didn't you hear that the driver said that so many strange things happened recently? Anyway, he is a predestined relationship. I gave him a talisman to keep him safe."

Lu Mingfeng drank a lot of rainwater, and his stomach felt terribly uncomfortable, "Is there no shelter from the wind and rain here, I'm about to freeze to death."

Ye Shubei glanced at him, and without saying a word, took a pill from his schoolbag and gave it to him, "Let's eat it with the rain, to keep warm."

Sure enough, Lu Mingfeng had just swallowed his stomach, and the soles of his feet began to warm up. It was still the kind that no matter how cold the weather was, his whole body was still warm, which was better than a warm baby. "You are still making alchemy. Don't do that anymore."

"You can't sell it and you can't eat it yourself."

Lu Mingfeng said in his heart that you are not kind, you didn't leave the good things to your brother first, so it's hard to give it to He Weinan at the first time, he really is a guy who loves relatives and friends, hehe, man.

Ye Shubei "hush" and said: "Bai Xiaosheng is ahead, slow down and stay here, I don't know if he is hiding from the rain or something happened to him, let's hurry up, maybe we can find him before dawn."

Lu Mingfeng nodded, "There are still about ten hours until dawn, Ye Shubei, give me a few more, any variety is fine, do you have any courage?"

As the rain got heavier, the mountain road became more and more difficult to walk. If you didn't step on it firmly, the whole person would slip.Afraid of getting lost again, the two of them couldn't be too far apart, neither of them had the energy to talk, but just kept walking forward, the sound of panting was drowned in the torrential rain, and the sound of swaying leaves echoed in the deep mountains, as if Tell these foreign invaders that it is quite dangerous here.

No one cares what time it is now. Lu Mingfeng once peeked at the watch on his wrist, and the time has stopped long ago. The watch that was bought for 10,000+ claimed to be water-proof, but when it rained heavily, it was like plastic , it will break if you break it casually.

He was even less confident about the mobile phone in his schoolbag. It probably had been shut down by water, anyway, it would be useless even if it wasn't turned off, and there was no signal here.

He always peeked at Ye Shubei in front of him, thinking how good it was to have him around, and getting to know him was the best thing that happened in recent years.He also thought that he was considered a famous woman, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable, not for other reasons, but just afraid that this friend would leave him, maybe he should find a companion, Lu Mingfeng, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to go. I've never really loved anyone, maybe I should find a fellow like Ye Shubei?

Lu Mingfeng filled his mind with such miscellaneous things, and when he felt his mouth was dry and his eyes were black, Ye Shubei had already stopped in his tracks.

Lu Mingfeng took three deep breaths and asked, "Are you catching up soon?"

"Bai Xiaosheng is gone."
