23 The Valley of the Graves

There is a famous saying in "Mencius? Lilou Zhang Juju 1": If you do not use rules, you cannot achieve square or round.

Rules are order.

Only by abiding by the rules can order be ensured. An old hunter like Chen Bengui also has rules when doing things. It is okay if you want to hire him, but you must abide by the rules drawn by others.

What does this mean? It is the threshold, which is the threshold for Chen Bengui to support his family. It cannot be said that anyone who wants to let him do things is useless, right? That doesn’t mean that the threshold for others is very low and anyone can step on it. In fact, to talk about the threshold, Chen Bengui’s asking price is really not low.

"If you want to hire me to take you into Luan Grove Valley, the rules are very simple. First, I want money. It takes two days to pass through Luan Grove Valley. That valley is not very deep, but very dangerous. Only I know what road is safe, so for your safety, I need a guide fee of 1,000 yuan a day. This money is settled in advance. Once you calculate it a day, we will count 1,000 yuan a day, and it will be 3,000 yuan for three days. This is my first rule. If you want to agree, we will continue to say, and if you don't agree, you will pull it down." Chen Bengui twisted his yellowed fingers and looked at Ji Nian with his eyes full of cunning.

1,000 wizard fee per day?

Ji Nian couldn't help but stumble in his heart. The price is really not low. You should know that if you are just a casual tour group outside, as long as you are all scenic spots in Zhonghai City, even if you include accommodation, you can't spend the money. But in this poor mountain valley, Chen Bengui is really bad enough to dare to ask for this price in a day.

This is because I am easy to talk to, so do you want to slap a knife?

Ji Nian said he would not give money, but he had to give it to the place where he was in the Ming Dynasty. He couldn't say that you, Chen Bengui, would kill me, but he had a different statement to others. So he turned to Liu Guangli, who shrugged at him helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Ji Nian, Old Chen did not fool you, this is his rules. He is like this to everyone, and has never changed. There were people who came here to find him as a guide, but they were unwilling to take out the money, but they encountered an unexpected accident in the valley of the grave. Although the person was not dead, he was injured. After coming out, he spent more than this money just for medical treatment."

"Buy your life with money." Chen Bengui lazily said four words, but they were extremely insightful, which meant that he gave two choices, whether to ask for money or death?

Do you buy your life with money?

Ji Nian's eyes turned and he didn't worry about this issue anymore. In fact, he just felt that the money was a bit outrageous, but he didn't think about it. He had to go into the Luan Tomb Valley. The restlessness in his palms showed that there was a treasure inside. For the sake of the treasure, he would not hesitate even if he lost everything.

"Take a deal, tell me your second rule." Ji Nian just saw if he had been cheated, and after confirming it, he agreed without hesitation.

Chen Bengui looked at Ji Nian in surprise. He didn't expect that this young man was so easy to take action. Could it be a rich second generation? No, if he really was a rich second generation, he wouldn't want to come to the Luan Treasure Valley to wander around. But it doesn't matter, as long as he has money, he will make money.

"The second rule is to obey absolutely. Don't think that I am restraining you. I am doing this for your own good. The grave valley is very evil and cannot be touched in many places. As long as you touch it, there will be trouble. Since we are a temporary team, we must consider everyone's safety. So you can go where you want you to go, you can do what you do, and it's best to turn a blind eye to the rest. If there is really trouble, don't worry. Old man, I will definitely be the first one since I collect the money." Chen Bengui said frankly.

This sounds quite honest.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Nian said seriously: "As long as there are dangerous places, I will definitely not touch them, but I put it in front of me. Since I want to go to Lunfountain Valley, I must have my considerations. If I really have to go to some places, and you don't allow them to go there, I hope I can do it according to my ideas. Of course, you can leave first, and I won't blame you. Lao Chen, this is my only request, and I hope you can understand, after all, I don't spend money to go to Lunfountain Valley."

"this…"

Chen Bengui's face turned gloomy, and Liu Guangli hurriedly said, "Old Chen, it's almost enough. Ji Nian said this, he might not go to that dangerous place. Besides, he really wanted to go, and he said he would be responsible, what else do you need to care about?"

"Okay, that's it." Chen Bengui gritted his teeth and recognized this.

Everything must be discussed, and you cannot just define whatever you say on the spot.

"There are no other rules?"

After explaining the words in advance, Ji Nian's mood became much more relaxed. This is called saying ugly words in front of it, so that it will save you from being entangled at that time.

"No more." Chen Bengui spread his hands.

"Then I want to know that if you find something in the Grove Valley, you don't have to give you any money or you have your share, right?" Ji Nian asked.

"Ha ha."

Chen Bengui looked at Ji Nian like an alien and laughed: "Don't worry about this. If you really find something in the grave valley, you won't want it. I will never touch the things there. If you can catch prey, like pheasants and hares, I can help you take it out. These are all for free, so I can do it for you!"

"That's the decision, then when will we set off?" Ji Nian counted 1,000 yuan from the mountaineering bag he carried with him and asked.

"I'm right away, wait until I'm ready, it's going to be fine." Chen Bengui's eyes lit up and took the 1,000 yuan. He counted it in front of Ji Nian and turned around and walked into the room.

When there were only two people left outside, Liu Guangli was obviously embarrassed.

"Ji Nian, this matter..."

"Brother Liu, I know this has nothing to do with you. This is great. Let's make everything clear before traveling, so that you can save trouble when you wait in. But Brother Liu, are you sure you want to go with us? There is a very likely danger inside?" Ji Nian changed the topic.

"Go, of course I want to go with you. I can't let you take risks alone." Liu Guangli raised his head and said with his chest straight.

"Okay." Ji Nian smiled slightly.

Five minutes later, three people and one dog began to move towards the Luan Treasure Valley. The dog was fed by Chen Bengui, a local dog that looked inconspicuous. But in his words, don’t underestimate this local dog. This was what he had tried his best to get. It was the mountain guard dog in Dameng Mountain and a spiritual dog.

Ji Nian was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Bengui's words. Although he had no research on dogs, he could not fool people with this, right?

Mountain guard dog? Is there anyone like this?

After walking twenty minutes from Liujiagou, I came to the outside of Luanfountain Valley. Unlike the flat road I just walked, I stood here and looked inside and couldn't find any road at all. There were dense bushes of thorns at the sight, and the weeds more than one person were swaying in the wind.

In this hot summer, you don’t have to walk in, and you can be dizzy and swelled by the oncoming damp and cold mold. In addition, the steep mountains on both sides make people feel depressed invisibly, as if they are pressed against their chests by a pile of stones.

Ji Nian also knew that it was unrealistic to find the baby now, and he was mentally prepared to go deeper.

Puffing, as the local dog named Ah Huang barked wildly, countless sparrows flew out from the weeds. Fortunately, it was a sparrow. If it were replaced by a crow, the atmosphere would become even more terrifying. Ah Huang seemed to be unafraid of this place, and ran around happily.

"Old Chen, I heard that people in the nearby villages would be buried here if they died. Does that mean that there were roads in the graves and valleys in the past? At least it wouldn't be as messy as it is now?" Ji Nian asked casually.

"You have heard a lot, it was Liu Guangli told you?" Chen Bengui took a deep breath of tobacco, rolled up his cigarette pipe and put it in his eyes. He looked at the Luan Treasure Valley and said in a faint look: "That's all the past. When people died, they would be buried here, but then no one would come here. You have never seen the scene at that time, and the ground was covered with bones. I have seen it with my own eyes. It's so scary. No one wants his family to be buried here if they die. They want to be neighbors with those evil gods?"

"Besides, since the rain can rush out the corpses of those people, it can also rinse the graves of their ancestors. After finally burying them here, they will die and die, and they cannot live in peace. Who would still regard this as a cemetery? You don't believe this. You may see a few corpses when you go in later. Remember, from now on, you can no longer use fireworks. I don't smoke, and you can't. There are a lot of weeds on this road, so it's good to pass this section. Don't cause any trouble because of your smoking."

"I understand." Ji Nian and Liu Guangli nodded and responded.

"Let's go, follow me closely, don't lose it. If this ghost place is lost, even I can't find you."

After Chen Bengui finished speaking, he raised the fire stick in his hand and pulled open the weeds in front of him and walked in. Ji Nian and the others followed closely behind, and were surprised to find that the road that they could not see miraculously emerged, and they were advancing along a small path of sheep.

Just for this, Ji Nian admired Chen Bengui so much that he was impressed. No wonder he asked for a price of 1,000. If he had been to himself, he might not have been able to find a way to the valley if he had been wandering around here for a long time.

"Woom."

The barking of Ah Huang's dogs echoed in the empty and gloomy valley. Ji Nian and the others kept moving forward silently. It was not that they didn't want to talk, but that they were in the weeds, and you would involuntarily shut your mouth. After walking forward for about fifteen minutes, the thorns and weeds around you began to become smaller and shorter.

Chen Bengui's tense nerves slowly relaxed. He took out his cigarette puff and said with a smile: "We have walked through that dense and flammable area and finally we can rest. Do you see it? Just turn the corner and you can see a lake. We asked him to Yinyang Lake."

As he said that, Chen Bengui looked up at the sun, smacked his lips and said, "It's almost noon. Let's go to the Yanyang Lake to eat something and walk forward. Ji Nian, you can also go around. It's safe and you won't encounter any danger."

"good."

Three people and one dog began to walk towards Yinyang Lake.

Just after they turned the corner, two green eyes disappeared from the weeds next to the mountain wall.
