C31 Ten li tomb

The Ox-shaped mountain at the outskirts of the city was very far away from the city center, even driving the car would take close to an hour. According to Yang Quan, the Ox-shaped mountain was a primitive mountain that had yet to be developed, spanning across several towns, and there were also countless little town names surrounding it.

It was nearly dark when we drove an hour to the foot of the cow-shaped mountain. There was a road in the shape of the cow-shaped mountain that went straight into the depths. Deep within the mountain, there were many villages along the way. Initially, we heard from the villagers that no one had heard of the Ten Li Tomb before, but after we went deeper into the Ox-shaped Mountain, we finally found out the location of the Ten Li Tomb from the villagers. However, in order to find out the name of the Ten Li Tomb, we had to spend a lot of effort to find out the name of the Ten Li Tomb from an old man.

We are asking about an old man from the village, about sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair, who still sits at his door and looks at the village entrance when it is dark. When we went forward to find out if there was a place called Ten Li Tomb deeper in, the old man didn't say if he knew it or not, but stared at us blankly, making us feel uncomfortable all over.

Yang Quan was annoyed by his stare, so he whispered to me, "Why don't we go and find out more about it?"

I think that's right. This old man is always staring at us, yet he doesn't say anything. It seems like he won't be able to get anything out of us. At the same time, I was thinking that maybe this old man was deaf, which was why he was so indifferent to others.

Thinking of this, I nodded my head and prepared to leave. I would enter the village to look for the other villagers and inquire about their whereabouts. But just as we turned to leave, the old man behind us suddenly said, "What do you want, what do you want there?"

Hearing this, we immediately stopped in our tracks. We knew that the old man clearly knew of Ten Li Tomb's location, otherwise he wouldn't have said such words. But it was strange to me that when we had asked him, we had waited a long time, and he had not said a word, and now that we were leaving, he said it all at once.

I turned around and smiled as I bowed. "We are going to the Ten Li Tomb to find a person. If old uncle knows about this place, can I trouble you to guide us?"

"Go to the Ten Li Tomb to look for people? Are you sure you aren't mistaken? " The old man frowned and looked at us again.

I shook my head and said, "Yes, I did go there to look for someone. I hope that old uncle can help, I'll have to trouble you to point the way. "

Yang Quan, who was at the side, could not hold back his temper any longer. He hurriedly said, "Old Uncle, don't worry. We are all good people. We won't be bad people." Obviously, he was afraid that the old man was worried that we were bad people, so he didn't want to help.

However, when the old man heard this, he bluntly replied, "I don't know the name of this place, but you two youngsters should just fight it out from somewhere! That's not a place you can go. "

Hearing this, Yang Quan and I were both stunned. Did this old man treat us as fools? These words clearly showed that he knew of Ten Li Tomb's location. We just did not know why he was unwilling to say it.

"Let's go and find out what happened elsewhere!" Seeing that the old man wasn't willing to help, Yang Quan was slightly unhappy, so he pulled me along to leave.

At this time, the old man spoke again, "The young people in the village don't know where that place is. If you can't find it, then listen to my advice and go back and forth!"

Hearing that, Yang Quan was immediately angered, he felt that the old man in front of him was obviously toying with him, a rich man like him would rarely ask for help, it was obviously not easy for him to pretend to be a grandson. However, it was fortunate that I stopped him in time. I told the old man, "Uncle, I know that you must know of this place called Ten Li Tomb. The reason why you are unwilling to tell us is perhaps for our own good. However, the reason why we must go there is precisely to save a person's life. This person is extremely important to us, so we have no choice but to go.

Yes, because the old man in front of me doesn't seem to be a bad person, but rather, makes me feel that he's more worried that if he were to say the Ten Li Tomb out loud, he would actually harm us.

When the old man heard what I had to say, he was taken aback. Then he said, "Why do we have to go there to save people?"

Hearing that, I knew there was hope. Thus, I told the old man, "I have a friend who had been bewitched by a evil master. That evil master will arrange for us to meet tonight at the Ten Li Tomb.

In the end, he sighed and said, "To be honest, this old man does indeed know about the Ten Li Tomb that you all have mentioned. However, this place is truly not a simple place, if I were to let you all go, it would not be to help you all, but to harm you all."

Instantly, Yang Quan and I were stunned. We knew that our guesses weren't wrong, this old man really did it to avoid harming us. Because of this, I was even more curious about this Ten Li Tomb, what kind of place would this be, to be able to make the old man feel that it was dangerous. So, I hastily asked the old man: "Old uncle, what exactly is this Ten Li Tomb, is it really so scary?"

The old man nodded. Then, he lit up the smoke in his hand and took a long drag from it, as if he was reminiscing about the past. After a moment of silence, he began to speak to us.

It turned out that the Ten Li Tomb wasn't too far away from the village we were currently in. As long as we continued to walk for a few more kilometers, we would be able to reach there. Before liberation, it was a village called Miao Village. The village was full of people with the surname Miao, with a total of one to two hundred people, but because this village had a shrine, no one knew where the problem was with Feng Shui, so in the end, all of the villagers were killed. Later on, the village became a graveyard, and the original Miao Village became the Ten Li Tomb as people shouted and shouted about it.

Hearing his story, Yang Quan could not help but become curious, and asked: "Uncle, all of the village's people suddenly died, although this is strange, but is there any danger?"

I was also very curious, thinking that if it was only for this reason, that old man was obviously too preoccupied.

Yang Quan and I looked at our uncle in anticipation, knowing that he had not finished speaking. Sure enough, the old man nodded. Of course it's not just that. With that, he told us that after Miao Village became the Ten Ground Graveyard, very few people from the outside world dared to enter that place. It was because so many people had died there.

However, there were always some bold ones. In the end, he did not come back. At that time, the people of the village went to find him, but only found this hunter in the morning in the Ten Li Tomb. What do you think that hunter was doing when they found him?

Seeing the old man suddenly ask us with interest, we smiled and shook our heads. How could we have guessed it? Seeing us shake our heads, the Old Un put on an expression that he already knew we wouldn't be able to guess, and said: "When we found that hunter, that hunter was actually sitting at the entrance of the ancestral hall in Miao Village, and when people asked him why he was sitting here and not coming home, he said he was watching a big show!"

"Didn't you say that all the people of Miao Village are dead? Why are there people singing there? " Yang Quan asked him.

The uncle said: "Yes, the entire Miao Village is dead, why would there still be people there to sing a big play? "It's obvious that the Huntress saw a ghost last night!"

"And then?" I asked.

"Later on …" The old man sighed and continued.

It turned out that when they brought the hunter home, he had gone crazy and died that night. At this time, Yin Yang said that the hunter had encountered a ghost, so the ghost was lured away last night.

After that, no one dared to go there anymore, but there would still be people who would enter from time to time without knowing the background of the Ten Li Tomb. Those who managed to survive or return wouldn't live for more than a few days. After being liberated, no one from the Ten Li Tomb dared to go anymore. Perhaps, no one from the younger generation would know of this name anymore.

Hearing this, I remembered that when I was young in Chen Jia Town, in order to catch rabbits, I trespassed into a village with a dead person. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to meet someone I know and was scolded back at. Otherwise, I might end up like that Hunter as well, right? However, I never thought that there would be such an evil place here!

At this point, the old uncle raised his head and stared at us solemnly. "Do you still want to go to that place?"

To be honest, I was a little scared when I heard the old man say that the Ten Li Tomb was so evil. Yang Quan, who was at the side, was even more frightened.

I smiled bitterly and said, "There's no other way. We have to go!"

With that, we asked for directions, then thanked the old man and followed his directions. Now that I'm gone, I don't know if I can come back
