Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 216 The Tomb of the Heavenly Fox God—King of Flower Hades
"This kind of long and gaudy big butterfly is called Huayan Wang, also known as the dead man's eye, and it only flies in places where there are dead people. We who dig graves know that when we see a place where there are large groups of butterflies like this, we will be very happy. I know it’s not far from the ancient tomb. It seems that the place where the flowers and kings of Hades gather in front is that village, and there must be dead people in that village.” After finishing speaking, Fat Wei pointed to the dense forest ahead for everyone to see.

After Chen Zhi raised the binoculars and adjusted the focus, he looked in the direction Fat Wei said, and saw a large green valley below the hillside in the distance. Among the flowers in the valley, groups of colorful big butterflies shuttled among them. They are not small, flying around in groups, never leaving that area.

Chen Zhi held up the binoculars and said, "The butterflies you mentioned are scientifically called golden thread colorful butterflies. They have unique clustering rules, and they are very fond of the limestone emitted by ancient buildings that have been covered and corroded by darkness for a long time. Near the ancient tomb, these butterflies are often seen, and they gather there now, which proves that there are corroded buildings in that place, which should be the village we saw on the mountain."

After Chen Zhi put down the binoculars, he asked Pang Wei to open his backpack first, and took out all the stone-controlling bullets.said to everyone,

"Let's go further, we may have to enter that village. I don't know what's in there now. If we encounter something, for example..." Chen Zhi glanced at everyone around him, "For example, we encountered Huge monsters, monsters with a height of more than ten meters or even twenty meters, everyone must not panic, remember the battle plan I made for you before, no matter what happens, you must be calm, I will control the stone now The bullets are distributed to you, and the stone control bullets are very precious, so don't use them until the critical moment."

There are only a hundred stone control bullets in total, wrapped in dustproof cloth bags one by one, with a caliber of 0.50 inches and fast bullets, suitable for the pistols on all of them.

The eight quick shooters and the old somersault were equipped with Desert Eagle notch-style 7-shot pistols. This kind of gun has a sturdy appearance and its firing power is difficult to control, but its explosive power is very good.

Except for Qin Yueyang, Chen Zhi distributed 7 stone-controlling bullets to each of them, filled the guns, and handed over the other 16 bullets to Pang Wei for safekeeping, and gave the eight young men thousands of instructions, reminding them to keep in mind the battle plan, Don't waste these precious control stones.

These eight young and energetic boys didn't feel any fear at all, especially the parrot, when Chen Zhi told them not to panic and be afraid, he grinned and said.

"Don't worry, Brother Xiaozhi, we know what you mean, just look at it, I will definitely give you a good face, don't look at me as young and joking, I can usually hide my hands, if I really meet you say It’s the kind of big guy you should be afraid of.”

"Oh my god! You can really brag!" Fat Wei immediately lifted the parrot's neck and said to Chen Zhi, "See, this is a green skin. I like this kid, just like I did a few years ago."

After Chen Zhi finished distributing the stone control bullets, he started to lead everyone to walk forward. After walking for about an hour, he found that the road became more and more difficult to walk. There was no valley in front of him except butterflies and wildflower trees. The vegetation layer here is too thick, and all the topography and landforms are covered tightly, and it is impossible to distinguish where is the valley and where is the stream.Seen from above, there are only dense plants floating up and down, and those that are taller may not necessarily mean that the terrain is high, because the plants grow unevenly.The primeval forest here is very different from the primeval forests we are familiar with such as Daxing'an Mountains.

There are many places in the deep place that are shrouded in clouds and mist, and it is difficult to see what is going on in the distance. You can’t enter the forest rashly from there with a few groups of colorful butterflies. It doesn't look like this place is inhabited by living people.

When everyone continued to walk forward for about an hour, they only heard the sound of a huge waterfall coming from the front.

"It should be here," Chen Zhi said in his heart. He remembered seeing the village in the distance, right in front of the large waterfall.

A row of big trees covered with green vines appeared in front of them, and the vines hung straight down in rows, like a row of green curtains, covering the road ahead of them.

Chen Zhi drew out his long knife, and he and Pang Wei waved and chopped off the green vines blocking the way. When the vines fell one by one, the shadow of the village appeared in the cloud-shrouded valley ahead.

This is obviously the ruins of an ancient village that has been abandoned. The whole village is covered with green, looming in the clouds and mists. You can still see the well in the center of the village. There are ruined walls and overgrown weeds everywhere. The houses in the house are basically wrapped in dense green vines, the color of the wall skin can't be seen at all, and the doors and windows are all invisible.From a distance, these houses are in the clouds and mist, like the small green houses where the forest elves live in western movies, very unreal. Among the dense weeds and thin vines on the ground, you can still see pieces of green bricks The small road winds and turns, leading directly to the village.

"What year is this village?" Old Somersault walked from behind Chen Zhi and said, "There is absolutely no way there are living people in this place."

At this moment, all the members of the team came in from behind the vine curtain, staring at the ruins of an ancient village in front of them with regret.

Chen Zhi led everyone to walk inside, looked carefully at the houses, and found that although they were all ordinary cottages, they were all large in size, the overall width was the same, and they were almost square. The materials are large, the bucket arches are obvious, the buckets are deep, and the roof is flat. It seems to be the architectural style of the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties.

"Uncle Jin, do you still remember the legend? It is the story of the disappearing village that was described in the memoirs of the official at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that you showed us before leaving."

Old Somersault was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded, "I remember, in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, an old couple in a village near Mount Tai called their daughter-in-law a fox fairy, and then mysteriously disappeared from that village." (See chapters 191; 192 for details).

"You mean, this is the village that disappeared in the mountain disaster at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?" Old Somersault asked, and then nodded, "The time is right and the place is right, but how can the village be as a whole? Moved to God's Domain.",
