Liu Shan smiled and said, "Don't you want to go up too?"
"We just want to keep you company."
"If I find any treasure, wouldn't it be nice to give it to you first?"
Uncle Xu shook his head, with a more complicated look on his face and said, "I've known that old guy Xu Daniu for decades, and he's not the kind of person who would run away on his own."
Hearing this, I asked with some confusion: "What do you mean by this?"
Uncle Xu didn't answer me, he just sighed and said, "Old man, I just want to go up and find my wife."
"Look where she went."
After saying this, Uncle Xu left without looking back.
Looking at his back, I understood in my heart that Uncle Xu did not choose to go up the mountain for money, and he probably did not fully believe what the boss Zhang said.
Just from the look on his face, he didn't seem to want to say anything more to us.
I didn't ask any more questions.
Liu Shan obviously noticed this and whispered to me: "Uncle Xu probably doesn't believe what Boss Zhang said either."
"And did you see it?"
"Although the old man is back, people in the village still don't fully believe what Boss Zhang said."
"The weird thing on the mountain is definitely not as simple as Uncle Xu said."
I nodded.
Liu Shan thought for a moment and said, "How about I go find someone else to inquire?"
"If we don't figure out what's going on on this mountain, I'll always feel uneasy."
I smiled and said, "Are you scared?"
Liu Shan glanced at me angrily and said seriously: "With you here, I have nothing to be afraid of, but I can't keep it secret, right?"
"You go back first, I'll go find someone to ask."
Liu Shan left directly after saying this without waiting for me to say anything.
It's just that asking for information is not suitable for me. Following Liu Shan would only cause trouble, so I didn't follow him. I could only catch up with Uncle Xu and follow him back home.
However, after returning to Uncle Xu's house, Uncle Xu locked himself in the room and never came out again. I didn't know what he was doing. I could only hear a sound like he was grinding something.
It wasn't until noon that Liu Shan came back from outside, looking a little unhappy.
Seeing that Uncle Xu was still in the room, Liu Shan pulled me and whispered: "How about we go?"
I was a little confused and asked: "What's wrong?"
Liu Shan glanced at Uncle Xu's room and then said: "The old house is indeed not as simple as Uncle Xu said."
"The old house was indeed built by Tanhua from this village."
"But that old house was built by digging a tomb on the mountain."
"At that time, the Tanhua felt that the feng shui was good there, so he dug up other people's graves."
"It's just that Tanhua passed away inexplicably right after he built the house. When he was discovered, he was left with only a pile of bones."
"Then the mountain started to be haunted. The people who disappeared after going up the mountain didn't just appear when Boss Zhang came. They had happened many years ago. It was just because there were so many people missing on the mountain that they didn't dare to go up.
Already."
"So how about we leave too?"
Liu Shan was a little worried.
"Let's not get involved in this haunting thing."
"Didn't you say that when something happens, I should help you?" I said with a smile.
Liu Shan was a little confused when he heard this: "Didn't I expect that it would be haunted?"
"If you knew, I wouldn't say this even if you were to kill me."
Seeing Liu Shan's depressed look, I smiled and said, "Don't worry."
"Perhaps they are just afraid that we will go up to snatch the treasure, but they are too embarrassed to let us go. If they see you asking about it, they will add more fuel to scare you."
Liu Shan was stunned for a moment, then patted his thigh and said, "What you said seems to be right."
"If I remember correctly, one of the people who told me this is going to go up the mountain tonight."
"I was almost fooled by them."
"but……"
Liu Shan looked at me again and asked: "I really encountered a ghost, can you solve it?"
"You can deal with zombies, so there shouldn't be any big problem, right?"
"Daozhang Li said that you learned a lot of his skills, and you are still the village guard..."
I thought for a moment and said, "It should be okay."
Liu Shan then breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Then I'm relieved. I'll go up the mountain to have a look tonight."
From then on, Liu Shan and I kept waiting in the house.
It was not until evening that Uncle Xu came out of the room.
Liu Shan and I couldn't help but widen our eyes when we saw him.
When he came out of the room, Uncle Xu was already wrapped up tightly, and he was holding two machetes that looked like they had just been sharpened, which shocked Liu Shan.
"Uncle Xu, what are you doing?"
Uncle Xu glanced at us and said, "It's better to be careful."
"After we go up the mountain, you all should stay with me. If anything happens, I can take care of you."
When I heard this, I didn't know what to say for a while.
If there really are ghosts or zombies on this mountain, Uncle Xu's preparations will not have any effect.
But I didn't say much, I just followed Uncle Xu and Liu Shan out of the house.
Soon we arrived at the mountain they were talking about.
Everyone at the foot of the mountain has already arrived.
Including the three of us, there are eight people in total.
After seeing us coming, they ran towards the mountain in unison.
Uncle Xu didn't seem to be in a hurry. He was walking in front of us, holding the two machetes. His face had been tense since he went up the mountain.
What makes me a little strange is that although the whole mountain is very quiet, it does not make me feel any discomfort. Even the Bagua mirror given to me by Li Bowen has no reaction.
This made me wonder if there was nothing wrong with this mountain.
Just looking at Uncle Xu's solemn look, I didn't take it lightly and kept following him closely.
Liu Shan also followed, but I don't know if it was because of Uncle Xu. He seemed very nervous following Uncle Xu. He looked around from time to time and did not speak.
We walked all the way up the mountain road. I don’t know how long we walked. I finally saw the old house they talked about. The house looked very big, but it was full of trees outside. If you look at it from the foot of the mountain, it is almost completely blocked by the trees.
With.
After arriving here, the Bagua Mirror on my body finally responded, but it only lit up a little.
But this also made my heart lift a little bit.
According to previous experience, if the Bagua Mirror reacts, it basically means there is danger nearby.
And nine times out of ten, it's a ghost.
In other words, what Liu Shan learned about this old house may be true.
And this also made me have some more doubts.
Since there really are ghosts here, why didn’t the Taoist priest brought by Boss Zhang notice it?
I heard from Boss Zhang that the Taoist priest is from Maoshan, so it’s impossible that he doesn’t even have this skill, right?
