Master did not finally make a conclusion about whether Mao Yueliang was really ominous.

Even as a Taoist, there is no way to prove or conclude all folk sayings. Master said that people who can tell any mysterious things are mostly liars.

But at this time, I had no intention of paying attention to Mao Yueliang, crawling on the stone mountain with a flashlight in my mouth, which was not pleasant and very hard, and I couldn't distract myself from thinking about other things.

Because the terrain of this hill is steep, it is night again.

Despite the help of flashlights and ropes, Brother Masahiro and I were also very slow.

If I hadn't been at the mountain gate for a few years and had greatly increased my physical coordination and motivation ability, I think I would not be able to climb this stone mountain.

Even now, in the process of climbing the mountain, many places still need the help of Brother Zhengchuan.

Our breathing was particularly obvious on the quiet night. Our clothes were worn out in several places. We had already been sweating, but I felt a little cold from the bottom of my heart.

I can't explain this coldness clearly, maybe it's my illusion.

Because during the climb, I always touch the stones on the mountain. I felt that the stones on this one felt a metal-like coldness. When I first touched them, I shuddered inexplicably and felt cold to my heart.

"Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?" After climbing for about an hour, Brother Zhengchuan and I were only halfway up the mountain.

Zhengchuan took a look at his watch and it was more than 10 o'clock. In this barren village, it was already dark and quiet. Seeing that I was really struggling, he suggested that I take a rest.

Because there is also a small piece of rare slightly flat open space here.

I adjusted my breathing, shook my head, and said to Brother Masahiro: "Go up early, going down the mountain is also a troublesome. I'll finish it early, so I can go back to bed."

I believe there is something strange in this village, and I believe that Brother Zhengchuan noticed something. However, I always don’t believe that what we can encounter and discover when we go up the mountain? I really thought, hurry up and go back to bed.

"Actually, I should have come here alone. I shouldn't have brought you with me. You haven't grown up yet. But I always feel that Gou Zize is a little weird and dangerous. I'm not at ease to leave you alone on the island in the middle of the lake. If something happens to you, Brother Zhengchuan didn't continue, but just touched my head.

This is just a very ordinary word, but a warm current flows through my heart. I know that whether it is Master or Brother Zhengchuan, they care about me and me from the bottom of their hearts.

"Later, my master has said that I have a good spiritual sense since I was a child. Usually, I noticed things and premonitions are very accurate. This village filled me with strange feelings. I took you to wander around the village, and finally I felt that the pig farm was fine. The main problem was on this mountain. I also knew that I was impulsive when I did this." Although I said not to rest, Brother Zhengchuan still pulled me to him and sat down.

The cold stones and the cool breeze at night made the sweat beads dry quickly. The body became cold from the heat, and a thin layer of chicken skin appeared.

There is always a dull feeling tonight's night, because there are no stars in the sky, and the hazy moon cannot illuminate the earth at all, but it only adds some strange feeling.

I don’t know if it is because the warmth makes my body cold or the atmosphere makes my heart cold. When Brother Zhengchuan told me this, I could only get closer to him to make my heart feel a little more at ease.

"Master knows, I will definitely say mine, right? No, it is definitely not just that I am, but maybe I will punish me severely. But when I think of the decline of our mountain gate, it is hard to support it alone, and the inheritance of Taoism is about to be submerged. I feel uncomfortable from the bottom of my heart. Third brother, I don't know if you can understand it? I have no parents since I was a child and grew up in the mountain gate. For me, Master is my father, and the mountain gate is my home. I am eager to prove myself, but perhaps only this is the case. I think I have some ability to help Master and have some confidence to restore the hope of revitalizing the mountain gate." Brother Zhengchuan seemed to be fearless.

Under the moonlight, his silhouette seemed a little sad and deep.

Perhaps, as he said, his feelings for the mountain gate are stronger than anyone else, and even if he knows his impulse, he still needs a proof.

At that age, I was ignorant and didn’t know how to answer Brother Zhengchuan’s words. I only had one idea, that is, no matter what, the senior brother wanted to do, and the junior brother would have to support him no matter what.

Besides, Brother Masahiro's tone and expression made me feel a little sad. I reached out to my hand and put it on Brother Masahiro's shoulder and said, "Second brother, this is the second time you have said this to me. Can you stop talking nonsense? Let's go up the mountain! With you here, what danger can there be?"

"Boy!" Brother Zhengchuan smiled and patted my shoulder. He also knew that although I was not very good at speaking, I was relieved for him?

After a short stay, Brother Zhengchuan and I continued to climb up the mountain.

Before crossing the mountain, there were still some messy vegetation on the mountain, but the more you reach the top of the mountain, the less vegetation becomes. There is almost no vegetation near the top of the mountain.

The stones here are no longer dark gray at the foot of the mountain, but appear as dark and cold light black, like pieces of cold metal standing on the mountain.

There is no way to see the existence of this kind of stone at the foot of the mountain, because after passing a road without vegetation, we have reached the top of the mountain, and there are strange trees growing on the slope of the top of the mountain.

I can't say what kind of tree is this kind of tree. It has very few leaves and messy branches interlaced randomly, and tiny strips of paper are like sharp thorns.

Not only can I not recognize it, but also Brother Zhengchuan. Here, the road has gradually become flat, so Brother Zhengchuan stopped and couldn't help but reach out and grab a note of the tree, wanting to observe it carefully.

But because he was too anxious and the night was too dark, Brother Zhengchuan shouted softly as soon as he grabbed the notes of the tree.

I called it in the flashlight and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhengchuan, what's wrong?"

"Last brother, come here!" Facing my inquiry, Brother Masahiro did not answer directly, but instead called me over in a hurry.

There were many rocks under my feet, and I almost staggered and ran over anxiously. I saw that under the light of the flashlight, Brother Zhengchuan was holding the branches of the tree, and he was stunned.

"Brother Masakawa?" I called out.

He suddenly came to his senses and said to me: "Last brother, there is something wrong with this tree! Have you ever seen a tree that can suck blood?"

"Ah?" I didn't react at once. Can trees suck blood? Apart from mosquitoes, even if there are any animals and insects that suck blood, it seems very strange, right?

Brother Zhengchuan pulled me over and took the flashlight from my hand. Under the light of the flashlight, there was an extremely obvious bright red blood on his fingers that were cut by the branches.

He looked at me, then without hesitation, placed the bloody finger on the protruding spike on the branch and then, I saw a strange scene. The branch touched the blood, as if it had turned into a sponge. The blood on the finger was instantly sucked dry, and new blood was gushing out as if some suction was violently sucking out the blood.

"I X!" Seeing such a strange scene, I finally couldn't help but swear and took away Brother Zhengchuan's hand. I can't watch Brother Zhengchuan be sucked dry by a tree, right?

"Three, did you see it? This village may be a devil village!" Brother Zhengchuan's eyes flashed with strange excitement. But I have a strange understanding of this excitement. If there is such a village, Brother Zhengchuan feels that he can finally "show his skills" to uphold justice!

I looked at the trees crisscrossing in the moonlight, and the shadows cast on the ground.

Looking at Brother Zhengchuan's firm and persistent face, I wonder why I felt uneasy in my heart? When I grew up, I knew that I was a person with poor spiritual consciousness. Compared with Brother Zhengchuan's excellent spiritual consciousness, I was like a "dull" person, but for some reason, the uneasiness that night was so strong.

I couldn't help but pull Brother Zhengchuan and said, "Brother Zhengchuan, otherwise, let's go down the mountain?"

"Are you scared?" Brother Zhengchuan didn't have the intention of going down the mountain at all, but instead asked me this.

Of course I am not afraid, but it is difficult for me to explain what that kind of uneasiness is? But before I could speak, Brother Zhengchuan touched my head and said, "Okay, my feeling is not that calm, although I can't say it specifically. Don't go up with me, it's okay here, you're just waiting for me here."

Waiting for him here? Before I could speak, Brother Masahiro had taken off his shirt and only wore a vest.

He tore his shirt without hesitation, wrapped it on my hands and feet quickly and carefully, and said while bandaging it: "Three, 3rd, you're right, just wait here. No matter what, I can't let you take risks. These trees are just annoying here. Pack them for you so that you won't be stuck and don't run around."

"No, I want to go up with you." The top of the mountain was just ahead, less than ten meters away. The hazy moonlight seemed to be unable to shine on the top of the mountain, making it dark.
