There is no light, it is pitch black, only the continuous shadow of the mountain crouching quietly in front, it looks a little ghostly.
Xie Bai rubbed the tip of the little black cat's tail with one hand, and snapped his fingers lightly with the other hand, a bean of fire burst out from his thumb. He spread his palms, and two dark yellow notes appeared in his palms, each with a line of writing—
One said: Three willows at the head of the unnamed tomb in Huangtou Mountain
The other one reads: Fisherman crossing the river west of Yinyu
The little black cat stared at the two slender yellow paper strips with serious eyes, stared at them for a moment, then seemed bored, and turned its head away with a look of disgust.
The words on these two pieces of paper were written by Xie Bai, and it was none other than those four strange corpses.
The situation of these demon corpses has not been found out yet, and he just happened to be hungry and needed to find some food, so he went elsewhere, so he simply followed the information of the demon corpses and came to see where they were at the beginning.
The seemingly long dirt road came to an end in a short while under his feet. He looked up at the two dim and almost invisible stars on the top of Huangtou Mountain, set a rough direction and walked up the mountain.
The wind in the mountains was cloudy and cold. I don't know if it was because of hunger or some other reason. Xie Bai coughed much worse than before. At first he was still stuffy, but after walking a few steps, he would cough for a while.
He frowned and raised his hand to stroke the little black cat's head, saying: "It's really troublesome not to know the way... It's so hard to find something to eat."
Chapter 10
The expression on the cat's face was really difficult to distinguish in this kind of night, so that when the little black cat looked up at him with its round eyes open, it was hard to tell whether it was more frightening or more helpless.
Xie Bai was not very sensitive to the direction of the route by nature, he would go astray when the stars were bright, not to mention the two stars above his head were so dark that he could hardly find them in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, besides the stars, there are other things in the forest at night—
A crow suddenly flew out from a tree branch not far away, circled an arc, and then flew away from the entire Huangtou Mountain. In an extremely quiet night, it can be transmitted from the mountains to the distant villages.
Looking at the crow at night without stars, Xie Bai patted the little black cat on the head, and then happily took a step towards the place where the crow flew out just now.
The whole Huangtou Mountain is actually a narrow and long hill with three peaks in a row, but the hill does not go straight, but turns around a bend, like a crescent moon half enclosing a small lake. The one facing the village is the outside of Huangtou Mountain, and the one facing the lake is the inside.
The direction Xie Bai was walking at this time was to cross the top of the low mountain and go from the outside to the valley inside. There were thick dead branches and fallen leaves scattered on the ground. Xie Bai walked on it but made no sound at all. , and soon came to a place in the valley with the darkest sky.
This is a place less than five meters in front of the lake. Judging from the surrounding terrain, it should be a deep depression, but actually there is a bag of soil with a diameter of about two meters. The bulge of earth is actually not prominent, it's only a little bit higher than the terrain, if Xie Bai didn't pay attention to it deliberately, he wouldn't be able to spot it at a glance. "The Nameless Tomb..." Xie Bai raised his foot and scratched a line on the edge of the dirt bag, stroking the little black cat's head and said softly.
He glanced around the soil and saw that there were indeed three grave willows standing, but the branches of these three willows had shrunk, as if they had been drained of all the water and energy, and stood there in a jagged and twisted shape. Yes, the posture is weird. At first glance, it looks like three figures with arms outstretched and necks bent.
The willow tree is very sinister, and there are various sayings about the grave. The planting methods of these three willows seem to be unintentional, but they are actually very particular.
Xie Bai walked around them with the little black cat in his arms, silently calculating in his mind, the number of steps from the first willow to the second, and the number of steps from the second to the third, and from the third to the first. The number of steps is exactly the same, that is to say, the three willows enclose the entire Unknown Tomb in an unbiased manner.
Judging from the shrunken branches of willows, one pointing directly to the northeast, one pointing directly to the southwest, and the other facing the sky and facing the ground... No matter how you look at it, it is the battle of "nail soul willow".
That is to say, someone deliberately planted these three willow trees here in order to nail the things under the unnamed tomb so that they would never be reborn.
But I don’t know what happened later, so that the three willows were all cultivated into monsters, or monsters with a high level of cultivation, and then they were slaughtered, unloaded into so many pieces, and placed in places like Kanghe Hospital array...
Xie Bai gave a "tsk", simply picked a yin position and squatted down in front of the unnamed tomb, then stretched out his blue-gray hand and gently covered the grave mound, with his thumb facing northeast and four fingers facing southwest,
