do you see the horns on my head

"Ao Ze, wake up." When Ao Ze woke up again, he saw Heinrich lying on his chest, paws gently patting his face.

"We're here." Li Jia helped Ao Ze and Heinrich open the car door.

This is a village located at the foot of the mountain, mist surrounds the distant mountains, and a river like a jade belt surrounds the village and flows into the distance.The village is very quiet, small wild flowers bloom on the side of the loess road, dogs bark occasionally when cars pass by, and old people from several families move a small bench and sit at the gate of the yard looking out.

Li Jia parked the car outside the farmhouse he booked.This is a small double-storey courtyard. Two cars have been parked in the yard. It seems that there are quite a lot of tourists here.

When I opened the door, I saw a little girl in khaki clothes playing pinball with a little boy in the yard. Because it was cool in the mountains, the boy was wearing a delicate jacket, and he looked like a child from the city.

Hearing the sound of the car, the little girl stroked her messy hair and yelled into the room: "Grandma, there are guests!"

A lonely old lady with thin feet walked out of the house, still holding a big lantern in her hand.She has a pair of very slender eyes with drooping eyelids, giving her an inexplicably fierce look.

When she saw the little girl, she scolded: "I told you not to play games with outsiders, why didn't you listen? Hurry up and go into the house, or go wild outside the house, and don't disturb the guests!"

The little girl curled her lips, stuffed the marbles to the little boy, and ran away by herself.

"I'm sorry, guest. Girls in our country don't know how to behave." The old lady's voice was very thin, and there was a hissing sound as she spoke.She walked up to Li Jia and Ao Ze, illuminated them with a lantern, and said slowly: "You are the guests who booked two rooms on the second floor. Come in with me."

The old lady registered Li Jia and Ao Ze, and said to them: "The conditions here are not very good. Sometimes there will be a power outage at night. If you go up the mountain, you must come back before 08:30 in the evening. If it is dark, It's not safe in this mountain."

"We know this, don't worry." Li Jia said.

"Here are the keys to your house," the old lady handed them the two keys with hands like dead branches, and said, "Close the doors and windows at night, and don't open the windows if there is any noise. I'm afraid that snakes, rats and ants will come into the room." .”

Although this old lady is an ordinary person, she has an unspeakable yin energy on her body. Her energy is not "positive", and she does not seem to be an ordinary person.But Ao Ze and Li Jia came here this time just to fill the seal, and didn't want to create side effects, so they didn't investigate further.

Ao Ze and Heinrich share a room, and Li Jia shares a room by himself. The accommodation conditions in this farmhouse are not bad, just like the standard rooms in ordinary hotels, and they are considered clean and tidy.

They walked out of the room quickly and set off eastward away from the mountains, Heinrich still staying in Ozer's big backpack.In the corridor, they met the little girl, who was lying on the railing, scribbling and drawing on a piece of paper.Looking closer, there are two huge lanterns painted in the front, followed by a river and a very abstract mountain.

"Little girl, what are you painting?" Li Jia asked casually.

The little girl grabbed her drawing paper, glanced at the two of them, and ran downstairs in a "deng deng deng".Li Jia was a little embarrassed. Are children in the mountains so shy?

The two ignored this episode, and soon left Dongyi Village and arrived at the foot of Dongli Mountain.

Dongli Mountain is almost the highest among the mountains, with an altitude of 1235 meters, and only a small part of it is open to tourists.They walked up the stone steps, and soon they were in a clean forest.Even though it was one or two o'clock in the afternoon when the sun was at its worst, I still felt chilly all over my body, which was very comfortable.

Every plant and tree in Dongli Mountain has already been engraved in Ao Ze's head. He took Li Jia off the main road and walked towards the deep forest, but every step he took, the plants seemed to have spirits. , automatically give way to the sides.Soon the stone steps disappeared.

"There will be no one here, Heinrich, come out." As soon as Ao Ze's words fell, Heinrich got out of his backpack, flew beside Ao Ze, and said, "You can finally come out, suffocate!" me."

They continued to crawl in the dense forest. Although Heinrich was a young dragon, it didn't take much effort to fly in mid-air.

Half an hour later, the woods gradually thinned out, and large exposed rocks appeared at their feet. They were already very close to a cliff.

As soon as Heinrich raised his head, he was immediately shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him.

Facing them across the valley is a towering solitary peak, which rises from the flat bottom, with a pillar reaching the sky, higher than the surrounding mountains.But because it is too steep, there is obviously no way to climb.A snow-white waterfall hangs on the gray mountain wall facing them, dotted with sporadic trees, and the water splashes, agitating like a silver dragon, swooping down from the peak into the abyss.

Looking down, there was a curl of white mist under the deep valley, and they couldn't see clearly, but they seemed to be stepping on white clouds.

"That's where Li Guzi made his seal." Ao Ze said standing on the edge of the cliff.

The mountain wind poured into his sleeves, and the thousand years of time seemed to freeze into a moment.

When he returned to the world from Shizhou and Three Islands, it was still in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.How free was the world at that time, and how happy he was, making friends, visiting famous mountains and rivers with a sword, and slaying demons along the way.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the long forest was stained with blood, and this was actually his burial place.

"But how do we get there? The cliff is so steep. I can fly over it, but I'm so small now that I can't carry you." Heinrich's worried voice brought Ozer back to reality.He looked at the little fire dragon, smiled and said: "Every plant and tree here can be used by me. I don't need to go to the other side of the cliff to confirm whether the seal is broken."

"That's it, Ao Ze, you're amazing." In fact, Heinrich himself was also confused. He didn't know what kind of seal Ao Ze came here to get, but anyway, as long as he praised Ao Ze as usual, he would be fine. That's right.

Ao Ze was not overwhelmed by Heinrich's rainbow fart. After all, Heinrich could make a fuss and praise him even when he peeled the apple without breaking the skin.

Beside the only pine tree on the edge of the cliff, he pressed his hand on the mottled trunk of the old tree.Li Jia could feel the aura of Dongli Mountain suddenly become solemn, the grass and trees hummed in the wind, and the slight movement seemed to be regular, as if they were passing some news to each other, of course Li Jia couldn't decipher the news , can only rely on Ao Ze.

Ao Ze's body was buried at the foot of Dongli Mountain for thousands of years, and he had already been connected with the mountains and rivers.

Ao Ze finally withdrew his hand, and the indescribable aura disappeared.He pondered and said to Li Jia: "The seal is indeed broken, but it's not a big problem. It can be completely repaired tomorrow. I have already put down my mark here, Li Jia, you don't have to worry."

Li Jia breathed a sigh of relief. He naturally believed in Ao Ze's ability. Mung Dou didn't blink, and said to Ao Ze seriously: "Thank you very much, Mr. Ao Ze."

Ao Ze waved his hand, not letting him continue talking.He didn't do this for Li Jia.

Dongli Mountain is very big, Ao Ze took Heinrich to visit the most beautiful place, and it was already six or seven o'clock in the afternoon when they went down the mountain.The sun was setting, and the sun soon disappeared in the mountains. When they reached the village entrance in 10 minutes, it was completely dark.

Dongyi Village in the distance was pitch black, without even a single light, presumably there was another power outage in the mountains today.Heinrich raised his tail and used the flame on the tip of his tail to illuminate the road. The shadows of the three swayed on the dirt road, making the dark tree shadows on both sides less terrifying.

Heinrich's eyes were sharp, and he saw two big yellow lanterns moving slowly at the entrance of the village from a long distance away. He felt it was a bit strange, and just wanted to point it out to Ao Ze, but the two lanterns disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Only a few hundred meters away from Dongyi Village, they suddenly heard a commotion in the village. Those voices were mixed together, as if they were calling someone's name.
