Liu Shangang picked up a relatively large waterproof bag from his backpack, put some of the wild fruits in it, and distributed the rest to everyone.
I don’t know what this kind of mountain fruit is called.
It looks a bit like an apple, but the peel is very rough and red, and it looks a bit like a hawthorn.
When you take a bite, the texture is quite crisp, with a little sourness in the sweetness. , the taste is quite good.
It was probably because of the visit of the mountain demon that the summer breeze was slightly cool along the way, and the chirping of birds on the roadside was very soothing.
Now that there were fruits to eat, everyone stopped for the time being and rested for a while without warning.
Lao Zuo chewed the fruit twice and suddenly smiled.
I asked him why he was laughing, and I heard him say: "Since I teamed up with you, everything I've encountered has been amazing, and it's quite strange to say the least."
"What's weird about this," I said, "you don't know, I didn't see a ghost for the first time until I was almost twenty years old, and it was not an ordinary ghost, but a bunch of fierce ghosts, and Sun Chuansheng was there in front of me.
When I saw them, I felt that my worldview collapsed.
It was the first time I saw a ghost in my life.
It was truly amazing."
Lao Zuo also seemed to be feeling a little emotional: "I think it was because I was possessed by a vicious ghost that I got the opportunity to join our industry.
Oops, how many years have passed in such a flash."
Liu Shangang interjected from the side: "Aren't you two just twenty-three or four years old?
Don't talk like an old man, okay?"
Really, if Liu Shangang hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten that I am only twenty-three this year.
Lao Zuo is the same age as me, but his birthday is young.
So far, he is actually only twenty-two years old.
Oh my God, we are so young In fact, it’s not to blame that we are growing old in our hearts.
Looking back and thinking about how these years have passed, there are endless things to deal with all day long.
I wish I could live a day like a week.
It’s also due to our strong bodies.
If we change I, personally, have been so exhausted.
But I really don’t want to return to the leisurely life I had before.
Although I often have to go out and take risks, in general, my life is very fulfilling and practical.
Man, as long as I start thinking about these things, I can't stop thinking.
Now I start to think about Shao Kewei again.
I haven't contacted her for so long.
I don't know if she misses me.
Last time I went back to Bohai Wan, I have too many things on my hands and haven’t had much contact with her.
I was just thinking about these meaningless little things, when I heard Lao Zuo sigh from the side: "I don't know when it will end."
His words brought me back to reality, and I couldn't help but ask him: "It sounds like you don't want to continue in the industry."
Lao Zuo shook his head: "No way, I can't leave our industry now.
If you ask me to quit, you might as well kill me."
"Then what did you mean by what you just said?
When did it start?"
Lao Zuo was silent for a long time before spitting out a few incomprehensible words: "Three thousand years of reincarnation."
I happened to ask deeply, but Lao Zuo didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore.
He happened to finish eating the fruit, so he threw the core into the woods beside the river and said, "Time waits for no one, let's keep going."
Lao Zuo patted the dust on his pants, stood up and left the river.
We didn't waste any more time and followed him one after another.
When he just left the river, Liang Houzai came close to Lao Zuo and asked Lao Zuo in a low voice: "Brother Dao, why did you tell me so much if you didn't?"
Lao Zuo just replied dully: "Not enough."
The conversation between these two people was quite mysterious, and because I had too little information at hand, I couldn't understand the underlying meaning.

On the fourth day after entering the forest, we finally saw the mountain on the greeting card.
Because the greeting card was old, the picture was not particularly clear, and the mountains on the picture did not look particularly clear.
It was not until I saw the mountain with my own eyes that I realized that the mountains on the picture were actually separate peaks that were not connected to each other. , and the entrance to the mud-tiled tower is located on the most unruly solitary peak in the mountains.
It is the highest of all mountains and the steepest of all mountains.
The walls on both sides are almost vertical to the ground.
In order to confirm whether we were on the right track, I took out the greeting card and looked at it.
Liang Houzai also came over to take a look, and then his brows twisted into the character "Chuan".
Just now, his eyes must have fallen on the lower right corner of this greeting card, which said "Zhaojue Post and Telecommunications Bureau in 1997".
The following words can no longer be seen clearly, but he can generally guess that this greeting card is from Zhaojue.
It was issued by the Postal and Telecommunications Bureau in 1997.
At that time, the postal service and telecommunications had not yet been separated.
These words are also the strangest thing about this greeting card.
The greeting card is issued by the government.
Were the photos on the card also taken by someone hired by the government?
To get here, we have to pass through the vast forest controlled by the mountain demon.
I don't believe that an ordinary photographer can be that capable and can walk all the way from a place like that.
At this moment, I suddenly wondered whether the reason why my dad sent me such a greeting card was to ask me to find the person who took this photo.
Lao Zuo's voice interrupted my thoughts sooner or later: "Look, are the rows of trees in front of me moving?"
As he spoke, he raised his arm and pointed to a small forest in the middle of the mountain.
I stared at the tree carefully for a few times.
I didn't see anything strange at first.
But after staring for a long time, I found that the green trees were gathering together at an extremely slow speed, forming a two-meter-high line. tree wall.
I heard Li Huaishan say next to me: "There is a very narrow stream next to this bush.
You must follow the stream to reach Niwa Town."
I asked him: "How do you know there is a stream there?"
What I can't see with my ghost eyes, it's naturally impossible for Li Huaishan to see it either.
Li Huaishan responded: "It was the great witch Noja who told Brother Niu that there was a stream there, and Brother Niu told me.
Brother Niu said that no matter how the forest here changes, the stream will not change, because it is the entire forest.
Only by following the spiritual veins can we find Niwa Town.
Otherwise, even if we find the right path, we will not be able to see the entrance to Niwa Town. " After hearing what he said, I stretched my neck again and took a closer look at the scene near the woods, but I still couldn't see any creek.
I was suspicious and glanced at Huang Yuzhong.
Huang Yuzhong understood and shook his head at me.
With his eyesight, he couldn't even see the stream beside the forest.
At this time, the dwarf trees on the hillside seemed to have stopped moving, so I waved to Huang Yuzhong and Li Huaishan: "Keep going."
Li Huaishan immediately ran to the front of the team, and Huang Yuzhong also returned to Liu Shangang.
We walked down the hillside, and when we reached the bushes, Li Huaishan didn't even want to make a detour and walked straight towards one of the trees, as if he could pass through the tree.
Probably because he was afraid that everyone would be confused, Li Huaishan still shouted at the front of the team: "You must walk in a straight line here, otherwise you will not find the spiritual veins."
When they reached the short tree, the trees began to sway at the same time.
For a moment, the branches and leaves trembled, and the dust and sawdust on the books fell down.
But there was no wind in the forest at the moment, so the branches shouldn't be swaying so much.
Lao Zuo waved his hands to block the various debris coming towards him, and said to me: "It seems the mountain demon doesn't want us to pass."
I said: "Whether it lets you pass or not, we have to pass."
After saying that, I loudly asked Li Huaishan, the leader of the team: "Can you go around the tree in front of me?"
Li Huaishan did not respond.
At this time, he lowered his head and carefully looked at the situation behind the short tree.

For a long time, Li Huaishan shouted without looking back: "Follow me!"
As he spoke, he moved his steps slightly and went around the gap between two trees.
Those of us who were following behind didn't hesitate and immediately followed him.
As soon as we passed the short trees, the surrounding air seemed to suddenly become extremely oppressive.
Thanks to the care of the mountain monsters along the way, we almost ran into no trouble.
The road went smoothly, and the air and scenery were good, which made us feel particularly smooth.
But as soon as I crossed the bushes, it was like entering another world.
Although the surrounding scenery did not change on the surface, both the grass in front and the sunlight shining here were filled with a strong sense of death.
The air, like the bright light, also turned into a misty stone gray.
I looked back at the short trees behind me.
They were still shaking their branches and leaves, as if they were eager to invite us back.
Lao Zuo also glanced back, and then he sighed: "It seems that after passing the bushes, we have stepped out of the land controlled by the mountain monster."
I nodded, looking around, and said, "Even when the mountain demon is possessed by a ghost, it's not as lifeless as this area."
Lao Zuo didn't do anything.
He just weighed the green steel sword in his hand and continued to walk forward on the grass.
Not far away, Li Huaishan, who was walking in front of the team, shouted: "This should be the spiritual vein that Brother Niu mentioned."
As he spoke, he stopped, pulled out a machete from his backpack, and pulled away a small cluster of weeds on the ground.
I felt that Li Huaishan's tone was a bit solemn, so I stepped forward to ask what was going on.
Before I could reach Li Huaishan, I saw a black soil trough exposed under the tuft of weeds that he pushed aside. .
The groove is about fifteen centimeters deep and ten centimeters wide.
There is ink-like black water flowing in it, and there are some long things floating in the water.
It is not clear whether they are dead grass that fell in or the rotten bones of fish.
Previously, this water tank was completely obscured by weeds, and even ghost eyes couldn't see it.
"This is the spiritual vein" Liang Houzai asked Li Huaishan.
Li Huaishan smacked his lips and said, "I can't be wrong.
Brother Niu said that apart from the spiritual veins, there are no other water sources in this area
