Chapter 674: Suspicious
"Don't talk about that, captain, how do you feel about yourself, will you still fall asleep?" Mei Rindong asked again.
Yu Ling looked at the curse on the back of his hand, and felt that the color seemed to fade a little, but overall there was no change.
"Okay, I'm asking nonsense, but it's okay if you just sleep for two days and wake up for a day, anyway, captain, you must hold on, I feel like the competition committee is so cheating, I don't know if they will find a way to help you eliminate the curse afterwards......" Mei Rindong said dissatisfied.
"Probably not, it's up to us. Yuling shook her head.
"The people of the Yunlong Kingdom are really stingy! If you can't fix the people of the Blue Ridge Country and the Qidai Kingdom, they will vent their anger on you, they are not afraid of being criticized for operating in such a dark box!"
"What's the use of what you say without evidence. Instead of complaining about that, it's better to be practical. Yu Ling paused for a few seconds, and said casually: "Have you seen other contestants in the past two days?"
"Where is it?" Mei Rindong said with wide eyes, "Isn't it just the five of us all the time?"
"That's right...... Then you didn't say it, I just felt a little strange, could it be that only our mission is related to Shen Ye Peak?" Yu Ling said casually.
"I don't know, I think whoever comes to this place is unlucky, Yunlong Kingdom must want to kill people with a knife to get rid of you!"
"Well, how are you doing these two days?"
"That's it, practicing, reading materials, resting, chatting, and occasionally having a meal. "Mei Rindong is very boring.
"Anyway, try to act together as much as you can, and be more careful in everything. Yuling said.
"Be careful, we're in the village, what's going on?" Mei Rindong looked dazed.
Yu Ling couldn't say it clearly, so he could only turn around the corner and say, "Think about how the old man in Aunt Li's family died? What if those things are not only interested in soul masters?"
"Captain, you're scaring me again!" Mei Rindong felt a thrill.
"It's always right to be careful, it's fine when I'm awake, but I really can't take care of you when I'm asleep, and I don't even have the power to protect myself. ”
Mei Rindong asked cautiously, "That, captain, have you ever encountered that kind of thing?"
Yu Ling paused for two seconds before calmly saying, "No." ”
"Really?" Mei Rindong instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"If I had met, would I still be standing here and talking to you?"
"Oh, that's ...... too," Mei Rindong nodded confusedly.
Yu Ling could only sigh secretly, he had already decided to go to the Black Cloud Clan alone to make an appointment, if he let Mei Rindong and the others know, they would not be able to help, it would only add to his troubles.
And many things, it is safer not to know.
Walking to a certain house, Mei Rindong directly pushed open the wooden door and shouted: "Everyone come out, the captain is awake!"
"What, what, the captain is awake?!" Chi Yuzheng hurriedly replaced the jade slip in his hand with another one.
"It's too late, hahaha. Mei Rindong smiled evilly.
Chi Yuzheng glared at her, and hurriedly remedied: "Captain, I was wrong! I only looked at the Spirit Technique Jade Jian for a while, and I have been carefully sorting out the information for the past two days!"
Zhu Hongya and Song Haotang also hurriedly ran over from the next room, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw Yuling standing here.
"Okay, okay, I don't blame you, no one can read the information all the time for twelve hours a day. Yuling waved his hand.
"I've put together the useful information you've found, Captain, please take a look!" Chi Yuzheng handed over a jade slip.
Yu Ling sat down and looked at the jade slip, some of them were descriptions and guesses of those monsters on the top of the Sinking Night Peak, and some were the methods that the village chief had come up with to break the curse before.
Although most of the information was useless, some of it caught Yuling's attention.
For example, a diary written by a man named Zheng Jinwu.
It is also the oldest of all sources.
Zheng Jinwu's grandfather was a henchman who followed Fan Yaqi, and he was quite trusted and respected by Fan Yaqi back then, so he also knew a lot of confidential things.
Although Fan Yaqi did not have the habit of keeping a diary, fortunately Zheng Jinwu did, and the material of the jade slip would not rot for hundreds of years, so the information preserved was quite complete.
"The seventy-third year of the Yunlong calendar, August 19. ”
"Today's twelfth birthday, I heard a lot of interesting things from my grandfather, although it has been decades since Senior Fan took his grandfather and them to move to Shenye Mountain, but there are still many mysteries to be explored here. Why is it that every night there is a burst of singing from the top of the mountain? If it were a human being, it would have been tired of singing day after day, right? If it was a ghost...... Anyway, I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world. ”
"In the seventy-eighth year of the Yunlong calendar, March 2. ”
"Today, I ran to the town near the Sinking Night Mountain, and I heard a strange legend, and I don't know if it's true or not. It is said that there is a god-level spiritual weapon buried in the Sinking Night Peak, and it is precisely because of it that the mountainside will be forever sunk in the night. I've never seen a spirit weapon beyond the heavens when I'm so old, I went to ask my grandfather, and he shook his head. It is rumored that a god-level spiritual artifact has a wisdom no lower than that of a human being, if only I were lucky enough to encounter it. ”
"In the same year, March 11. ”
"It's all my fault...... I shouldn't be talking nonsense about god-level spirit weapons, who knew that Xiao Yan actually believed it, she ran to the peak of Shenye Peak in the middle of the night alone, and she has been missing for three days, and I don't know if she is alive or dead...... I hope Xiao Yan is safe and sound, otherwise I will really feel guilty for the rest of my life. Although Grandpa and Senior Fan didn't blame me, I was really scared, Senior Fan especially doted on Xiao Yan, the great-great-granddaughter, and this time I was specially looking for her to get out, I must hate me to death......"
"In the same year, March 15th. ”
"What should I do, it's been a few days, Senior Fan hasn't come back yet, he is about to become a peerless powerhouse above the Phantom God, is he also missing at the peak of the Sinking Night Peak? Impossible, impossible ......"
"In the same year, March 16. ”
"Oh my God, what's going on? Why is the whole world dark? What's going on at the top of Nightfall? W-It's not the end of the world, is it......?"
"In the same year, March 24. ”
"I ...... I don't know what to say anymore, I feel like I'm in a dream, everything is in a trance, I really ...... It is really impossible to accept such a reality. ”
"Why did I pass out a few days ago, and when I woke up with such a vicious curse? The people I knew had completely changed, my grandfather had aged too much, my father seemed to have been deprived of decades of time, and even I was sick and listless, as if I hadn't slept enough......"
"No one knows what's going on...... Maybe only Senior Fan knows, but he ...... I haven't heard from him yet, and I have a hunch that he's probably ...... Never coming back. ”
......
There were still some bits and pieces of information behind, full of hesitation, confusion and pain, until the last time he fell asleep, Zheng Jinwu was extremely self-blaming, always feeling that if it wasn't for his nonsense, all the disasters would not have happened at all.
Although there are too many details drowned in the dust of history, Yuling can at least know that it was Fan Yaqi who ascended to the peak of the Sinking Night, which triggered this series of changes.
Is it because of what he did to anger the Black Cloud Clan, and finally caused such an undying consequence?
Yu Ling pondered silently, and a familiar voice suddenly sounded next to him: "Why are you looking at these things as soon as you wake up?"
"Village Chief, are you here?" Yu Ling looked up and said hello quietly.
