Xiao Tangqiu frowned. The villagers of Baigui Village had neither meat nor food to eat. How did they survive? Only ghosts didn't need to eat! Had they all turned into ghosts?
Duan Hongzhen touched his chin and said, "It seems this is worth noting. I'll discuss it with the others when I get back...Okay, let's go find the shrine."
Xiao Tangqiu nodded and continued walking forward. After taking a few steps, she realized that Shen Yuan hadn't caught up with her. She turned around and asked Shen Yuan, who was standing still, "Why aren't you moving?"
Shen Yuan stared at the center of the farmland: "There's a black shadow there..."
Xiao Tangqiu was startled and looked over quickly, but found nothing there. It was just a barren piece of farmland. He asked in confusion, "Where is it?"
Shen Yuan blinked: "Disappeared."
Xiao Tangqiu asked, "What does that black shadow look like?"
Shen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "...Only one eye."
Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly: "The black shadow in the farmland has only one eye... Could it be Nitianfang?"
"Nitianfang? What kind of monster is this?" Duan Hongzhen also stopped and turned to ask Xiao Tangqiu.
Xiao Tangqiu said, "It's said that the souls of farmers who starved to death because their land was taken away appear in the middle of the night, shouting 'Give me back my land' while throwing mud at passersby..."
Duan Hongzhen asked with great interest, "What would happen if you were hit by mud? Would you die?"
Xiao Tangqiu: "It is said that the mud it throws is very smelly, and anyone who is hit by it will also become very smelly, and the stench will last for three days and three nights."
Duan Hongzhen curled his lips and said, "This monster is quite boring. Why didn't it just throw mud at us and run away?"
Xiao Tangqiu silently glanced at Shen Yuan beside him: "...Maybe he's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"
Duan Hongzhen sneered: "So he's just a worthless waste like you."
Xiao Tangqiu: "...You can scold him, why do you have to drag me into this!"
Shen Yuan's face darkened: "I don't allow you to scold him! Apologize!"
Duan Hongzhen apologized immediately: "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Xiao Tangqiu: "..."
It's tiring to be in such a team.
A moment later, the three of them returned to the foot of the hill again.
The holy mountain shrouded in darkness seemed particularly eerie and strange, especially when Xiao Tangqiu thought of how many old people from Baigui Village had died silently on this mountain, he felt a chill on his back.
The mountain wind in the middle of the night is particularly cold.
The three of them began to climb the mountain.
Although the mountain was eerie and mysterious, nothing special happened from the foot of the mountain to the top, and they didn't even encounter a ghost.
...It seems normal not to encounter ghosts, but if it is too normal, it will seem particularly abnormal.
Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but say, "Whether in the village or outside, we've encountered those things... Logically, this mountain should be the dirtiest, but why haven't we encountered anything from now until now?"
Duan Hongzhen shrugged. "Who knows? But our goal is to find the shrine. As long as we find that damn shrine, we can go back."
Xiao Tangqiu smiled bitterly: "That's what he said, but where exactly are we going to look for it?" This small hill is not very big, and it shouldn't be difficult to find things there, but a shrine is such a large building that it can basically be seen at a glance, especially the shrine's iconic torii, which can definitely be seen from a distance. However, they have gone up the hill several times and have never seen any shrine.
If there really was a shrine on the top of the mountain, they would have seen it long ago...
The three of them searched around the top of the mountain, and as expected, there was no building on the top of the mountain, let alone the torii gate of the shrine, or even a bird feather.
Duan Hongzhen was a little impatient: "Is it not in the Holy Mountain, but in some other mountain?"
However, the Holy Mountain is the highest mountain in the vicinity. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can basically see the shorter mountains below at a glance. Except for a few mountains in the distance that are not clear, there are no traces of any buildings on the tops of the surrounding mountains.
Xiao Tangqiu frowned: "Since those villagers call this place a holy mountain, then this place must have some meaning to them, otherwise they would not send the old man to this mountain to wait for death, and they also believe that there is a mountain god on this mountain..." No matter how you look at it, if the villagers of Baigui Village want to build a shrine, this is definitely the only choice.
Shen Yuan looked up at the faint dawn light not far away and suddenly said, "It's almost dawn."
Xiao Tangqiu and Duan Hongzhen also subconsciously looked up at the sky. Sure enough, the east was gradually turning white, and it was probably about to dawn.
Shen Yuan stared at the ray of dawn for a moment, then suddenly said, "I know where the shrine is."
Xiao Tangqiu's heart skipped a beat: "Where is it?"
Shen Yuan stared straight at the dawn and walked forward, and soon he reached the edge of the cliff.
"Be careful! There's a cliff ahead!"
Xiao Tangqiu screamed subconsciously, thinking that Shen Yuan was bewildered by something.
At this moment, Shen Yuan suddenly stopped, then turned around and looked back at Xiao Tangqiu: "The shrine is here."
Xiao Tangqiu thought Shen Yuan was looking at him, but he soon realized something and quickly turned around, following the direction of the dawn light breaking through the sky. Not far behind him, he saw... a red torii suddenly appeared out of thin air!
Torii represents the boundary between the divine realm and the human world, and is said to be the entrance to the divine realm.
They finally found the shrine!
