  The door was locked, hadn't these two gone in? I quietly took out a hairpin and prepared to fiddle with it, when suddenly a hand landed on my shoulder. My heart skipped a beat, could it be that my luck was so bad that I encountered a ghostly shoulder tap as soon as I arrived? The hand didn't feel very strong, and I immediately thought of the method Wenwen Bin had taught me before. After calming down for a moment, I raised my right hand and lightly swept it across my shoulder, but wait, this hand felt warm? Never mind, I'll deal with it later, but to my surprise, the hand turned around and grabbed my wrist, and with just a slight twist, I let out a loud cry as my body spun around.

  I turned around to see two big men standing in front of me, Er Dai grasping my hand tightly, and Cha Wenbin looking at me with a somewhat complicated expression. He said: "What are you doing here? Are you following us?"

  "Hey, can't sleep in the middle of the night, come out and take a stroll." I shook off Erhua's grasping hands and said: "What a coincidence, you guys are here too? This place is quite cool, haha."

  "Take a deep breath and don't move around, Ye Qiu found a place two days ago, there's something inside that hurt him, you'd better be careful yourself, it's not always possible to take care of you."

  I patted the five or six half-tracks in my hand: "Since kindergarten, when have I ever dragged your hind legs? This is called firepower support."

  He looked at me helplessly and said to Ye Qiu: "It's getting late, let's go."

  I just realized that their goal was not this righteous village, Ye Qiu in the front, I in the middle, Cha Wenbin in the back. As we walked, I felt that this road seemed to be the small path we took to the water canal that day, so I asked: "Going to the reservoir?"

  Cha Wenbin replied from behind: "No need for many words, just follow."

  We got on the aqueduct and started walking along the irrigation ditch, which was only about 10 cm wide. I used to climb here when I was a kid. Following this ditch all the way up, it's about four miles to the reservoir dam. We often went there to fish before. After walking along the ditch for a while, we came to a stone arch bridge. The ditch is built on top of the bridge. On the other side of the bridge, there are two huge stones that look like they were split open by a knife. When I was young, we all called it "Immortal's Sawboard".

  Just as the immortal sawing board stopped in front of him, he stretched out his hand to hold onto the stone slab and tilted it inward, and suddenly no one was visible. I was still puzzled, what did this kid want to do? Behind me, Wen Bin had already started urging me: "Hurry up and follow him."

  "This..." I was still thinking about it, how did it climb up like that, and then a hand stretched out from the other side: "Come!"

  My god, he actually spoke to me! Er Dai this guy finally opened his mouth and spoke to me, and even stretched out his hand to me. I'm so excited, this is absolutely a historic moment. I carefully stretched out my hand, but before I could indulge in my own joyful thoughts, I was pulled by a sudden tug and almost fell over.

  After crossing this stone slab, I saw Er Dai grasping several vines in his hand. Cha Wenbin also followed over. The three of them stood on the narrow stone slab, which was quite crowded. Er Dai pulled hard at the vines and said: "I'll go first, you two follow later."

  I exclaimed: "Up here?" Cha Wenbin nodded and said: "Yes!"

  "You guys are crazy, this is impassable!" I think I have the right to say that, as this mountain is where I grew up. Since childhood, I've often brought people here to visit this rocky outcropping. The rock is shaped just right, about three stories high, with two stone slabs in the middle, covered in all sorts of vines and creepers. Above the slab is a cliff face, with a hole at the top that's visible even from down below - we locals call it "Eagle Cave". It seems like only eagles could fly up that high. When I saw him heading this way, my first thought was that he wanted to climb Eagle Cave, but that's an impossible task, and too dangerous besides.

  Er Dai ignored me and pulled on the rattan vine twice before saying to Cha Wenbin, "Alright, let's go. I'll go first."

  I wanted to stop him, but Cha Wenbin pulled me and said: "Look at this." On his palm was a piece of cloth with a floral pattern, which was a type of fabric that was popular in rural areas a few years ago. My mom also had one. He said: "This is what Ye Qiu found here. Guan Xiao used to have a dress made of the same fabric. That girl must have been picking herbs on this mountain. I asked your dad, and he told me that there's a type of Blood Lingzhi growing on the steep cliffs near Hong Village. This type of lingzhi is very expensive because it grows in harsh conditions, so Guan Xiao might have been picking it."

  I'm a bit skeptical about this, I've also heard about the Hongcun Blood Reishi before, it's said to have a reddish-brown color throughout and has the effect of prolonging life and curing all diseases, so it's known as the "Thousand Year Immortal Grass". Older generations often say that there is such a thing in the Lao Ying Dong area, when we were young, we would often brag about this with our companions. However, no one has ever seen it, at least in my 20 years in Hongcun, I've never heard of anyone discovering it, and besides, the Lao Ying Dong is inaccessible to humans, so I'm suspicious of this speculation.

  "How can she, being a woman, go there?"

  Zha Wenbin leaned me towards him and said, "That's why I told you not to come, but you didn't listen. Do you know that the Blood Spirit Mushroom only grows on top of blood corpses? From ancient times to the present, many people have attempted to catch a glimpse of the Blood Spirit Mushroom, but few have been able to bring it back alive. Do you think Ye Qiu's injuries were caused by ordinary wolves and tigers?"

  According to the "Xianren Cai Zhi Tu", "Blood Ganoderma grows in the middle of famous mountains, and it was formed from the blood of the dead during the time of Emperor Yao. Those who can obtain it will be able to ride on clouds and travel with cloud energy covering them." Cha Wenbin is a person who knows ancient and modern things, and he has also heard about this Blood Ganoderma. According to legend, this kind of Ganoderma only grows in coffins or tombs, and after the coffin is opened, there will be a fungus growing on the body of the deceased. The roots of the fungus are connected to the heart of the deceased, even though the person has died, but the blood can still flow. In other words, when a person dies, their heart stops beating, but if they happen to encounter certain coincidences, the spores of the fungus will fall on the body and begin to grow using the human body as nutrients, eventually forming a Ganoderma-like fungus that is alive. The roots of this fungus will grow into the human body, reaching the heart or blood vessels, and use the blood as nutrients to make the originally stagnant blood start flowing again. At this time, this Blood Ganoderma is like the heart and blood vessels of the corpse, forming a "Blood Corpse". A Blood Corpse is a rare type of zombie that forms naturally through coincidence. The Ganoderma is also born from the essence of heaven and earth, and has been praised as a "divine herb" since ancient times. It is said to absorb the essence of the sun, moon, and stars, making it precious and able to supplement deficiencies. However, these essences are transmitted through the Ganoderma to the corpse, causing it to transform into a Blood Corpse.

  Regarding the records of Blood Corpses, they are often accompanied by the saying "Blood Corpse Guards Treasure". In general, Blood Corpses are easily confused with another type of corpse that Zhang Wenbin is familiar with, "Red Coffin Burial". If Red Coffin Burial is a man-made corpse formed after death, then Blood Corpse is a naturally formed corpse. Which one is stronger, the man-made or the natural? This is obvious. It is said that the Tian Zheng Sect, also known as Zhang Wenbin's eighth generation leader, died at the hands of a Blood Corpse. At that time, he was also trying to obtain a Blood Spirit Mushroom.

  Er Dai's physical strength was absolutely formidable. On this dark night, with no flashlight or tools, he relied solely on his hands and feet to climb up, making me watch in horror and fear. When he reached a spot where he could rest for a bit, he threw down a bundle of ropes, one end of which was tied to a large tree that stretched out from the cliff wall. Cha Wenbin tried the rope and asked me, "You first or me first?"

  "I'll go first!" Along the rope, my feet stepped on the smooth stone, and I really had no bottom in my heart. I sincerely admired Er Dāi more. After the three of us converged at the halfway point, there was still half a journey to go. At this time, Er Dāi said: "I'll go first, a few days ago, I almost lost my life, and that thing was also injured. It's estimated that it won't be easy to deal with. You two can stay behind to provide backup."

  Listening to what he said, his emotions had risen in the past few days. I kept sizing up this monster, is this still a human?! Cha Wenbin said: "No way, some things have to be done by me, your skills are good but a wounded cow is much more dangerous than an unwounded one, this time I'll go first."

  The two fools pulled a wisteria vine and said: "You can't climb, I'll come."

  Zha Wenbin squeezed forward and said, "If a woman can climb up, I think I can try too." After that, Zha Wenbin started climbing head-on, and my heart was hanging in suspense as I could only shine the flashlight for him. Along the way, there were several close calls, with branches and vines often breaking or getting pulled out, but fortunately, Zha Wenbin managed to grab hold of them each time, and after much struggle, he finally made it up.

  When I was young, I was also very naughty and liked to climb. But after that day, I never wanted to do it again. This kind of thing is enough to be done once, the second time even if you kill me, I won't follow. These two people are indeed very compatible, both are not afraid of death. I followed Cha Wenbin's rope up, and this old eagle cave that I had seen countless times but always boasted about with others turned out to be like this.
