Chapter 10: Tomb Ruins

"Oh my God, it's so beautiful!" Hu Yanzheng stopped to watch, and the team leader Mo Yuxuan laughed, thinking that this was a good sign, so he began to talk about the legend that circulated in Sucheng: " The mountain we are going to enter now is called the empty mercy mountain, in ancient times it was a treasure medicine storehouse, there are many medicinal materials in the mountain that are difficult to see outside, but it is not easy to pick, according to legend, there was a female doctor fairy in the mountain at that time, everywhere to distribute medicine, and finally disappeared in the empty mercy mountain, even the sky is sad for it, the empty mercy mountain has been raining heavily for three days and three nights, many precious herbs are slowly extinct at that time, the descendants in order to pay tribute to her, they built a clothing mound in the mountain, although this legend has passed thousands of years, but there are still ancestors who believe that there are rare herbs in the world that have not been discovered have been growing in the deep ravines of the empty mercy mountain, but the deep ravines are treacherous, ordinary people dare not enter。 ”

"Then I heard that there is a thousand-year-old tomb in Konglian Mountain, could it be the tomb of this female doctor fairy?" Zhou Yuqin suddenly started, everyone was stunned, and the team leader smiled awkwardly and explained: " It shouldn't be, after all, some things are very old, there is no way to verify it, and there is no academic community to identify, but they are all rumors passed down from generation to generation by the older generation of Sucheng, maybe it has long been untrue, the so-called thousand-year-old tomb may still be after the legend of the female doctor fairy from the perspective of time, it is about a mysterious witch clan, whether there is really this clan, there is no relevant literature for the time being, so, many legends are actually more like apocryphal stories, but after a long time, it has become an inseparable emotion of Sucheng people, after all, the mountain has lost its legend, just like the mountain has lost its spirituality。 ”

"Little sister seems to be very interested in the ancient tomb?" Ye Feisong took over the conversation on the side and looked at Zhou Yuqin with interest. Seeing her face embarrassed, Ye Feisong didn't mean to make it difficult for her, but said with a smile: "I've heard some things about this mysterious witch clan, thousands of years ago, the clan had the position of a grand sacrifice, this witch clan was in charge of sacrifice at that time, and had a high status in other races, maybe there is really some ability to attract souls to the sky, although it is just hearsay, but after all, it has been circulated for so many years, whether it is true or not, who can tell?"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, as soon as the conversation box was opened, everyone talked and laughed, and there was no longer a muffled voice along the way, and a young man with round-framed glasses spoke among the five adventure enthusiasts: "The five of us have been to many places and heard a lot of stories, but in terms of mystery, Sucheng is the most attractive, and Fengmo Street is the most reliable proof." ”

Hearing him mention Fengmo Street, Wu Er and Song Pan glanced at him together, and someone asked, "What do you say?"

The little glasses is called Liu Wentong, he saw that someone was curious, and chuckled: "I believe you have also heard that Fengmo Street has always been a dead man in the past, and every family and family that has passed away will be sent to the cemetery from Fengmo Street, this street has existed for so long and has not been abandoned, and the strangeness must be unusual!"

"Haha, it's not all lip service to say so much, what do you really want to do, why haven't the relevant departments of the Celestial Empire explored a single star and a half of a physical object over the years?" Among the partners who traveled with Liu Wentong, someone refuted him, and he also looked righteous in appearance, called Guo Fengchao.

As soon as the words fell, Liu Wentong immediately raised his hand and said: "Eh, don't say it, what I'm going to talk about next is the point, you really haven't paid attention to this incident as a relevant department?" It's just helpless, some things really can't be examined from a general perspective, maybe the Celestial Empire has already secretly organized relevant members to study the supernatural phenomena in the world, but this kind of organization is contrary to science and can't see the light, isn't it often rumored that the imperial capital is secretly studying aliens, in fact, it's all the same truth, it's just that we can't usually touch this field. ”

"Little brother's words are insightful, I appreciate them!" Ye Feisong gave him a thumbs up, Liu Wentong smiled, and didn't continue to say more, the team leader Mo Yuxuan opened the way in front, and introduced the common herbs in the mountains from time to time, although the group walked in the mountains for several hours, but because the mountain road was slippery, the speed of travel was not fast, only to feel that the light above the head was getting darker and darker, it seemed that the deeper into the mountain, the denser the surrounding trees, everyone found a small open space to sit down, a few little girls were tired enough, constantly panting, at this moment the forest is not as transparent as outside, a little more stuffy, Song Pan has long been sweating, is moving to take off the breathable raincoat, who knows that the team leader saw it and quickly stopped and reminded: "This area is hot and humid, there are more poisonous insects, and it is safer to wear. ”

As soon as they heard that there were insects, the three girls who had just sat down for a long time quickly stood up again, Song Pan sighed, had no choice but to give up, looked around, and couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

"Yo, it looks like it's foggy. Ye Feisong drank two sips of water, and his eyes saw a white expanse in the distance.

Team leader Mo Yuxuan glanced at the compass that came with his watch, thinking that he might have to stay here for a while longer, so he said loudly: "There is a lot of weather in the mountains, maybe there will be a rainstorm later, let's wait here for the rain to pass before we hurry." ”

"Haole!" someone answered, five people who traveled abroad all the year round quickly set up tents, Wu Er and Song Pan were not idle, helping to pick up some dry firewood nearby, in case of a rainstorm, the mountains are not better than the outside of the mountains, and the clouds gather over It is no different from the dark sky, so the fire is a good thing, which can not only prevent insects and beasts in the mountains but also be used for lighting and heating.

"Ahh

Song Pan approached them, and saw the palm-sized insects curled up in a ball, and the yellow-brown hundred feet looked like brushes, and his face couldn't help but show an extremely disgusted expression, and he raised one foot and was about to step on it, but as soon as he lifted his foot halfway, Ding Mian, who had always been unsmiling, jumped in front of him and said hurriedly: "Don't don't!

Song Pan's face was still stunned, Ding Mian had reached out to pinch the insect, and then ran away with a smoke, his companion's behavior was obviously not expected by Ye Feisong, and explained with a wry smile: "This thing is called a bristle, since it appears here, it means that there is an undercurrent and damp place nearby, and you should be extra careful when you go deep into the forest when the time comes." ”

“...... That's right, there is indeed an undercurrent nearby, a long time ago there was a name called the Candleyin River, which is a river buried deep in the mountain, but the closer we are to the Candleyin River, it also means that we are not far from the hill sacrifice mausoleum. The team leader Mo Yuxuan followed to explain the situation, and everyone understood, faintly excited, after all, the legends of Sucheng originated from the hill sacrifice tomb.

Wu Er gathered firewood and turned a corner in the woods, and suddenly heard ' The sound of 'banging', at first surprised, because the voice was very clear, as if it sounded next to him, and when he lifted a dense vine leaf in front of him, he saw Ding Mian standing behind the tree with his back to him, and when he heard the movement, Ding Mian also turned his head, this time Wu Er was shocked into a cold sweat, I saw Ding Mian's expression stiff, his mouth was chewing something wantonly, and there was a yellow slurry at the corner of his lips, seeing that it was Wu Er, Ding Mian was stunned at first, and then quickly hid his hand behind him, but Wu Er still noticed that his right hand seemed to be pinching half of what was wriggling。 Wu Er's stomach churned, and he quickly turned around and retreated.

Back at the temporary resting place, Song Pan saw Wu Er's ugly face and asked, "What's the matter, you have hit an evil spirit?"

Wu Er just put down the firewood in his hand, didn't look up, and replied to him in a low voice: "I'll talk about it later, I always have a bad premonition." ”

As soon as the words fell, a muffled thunder suddenly rolled over the forest, the team leader Mo Yuxuan hurriedly stood up, beckoning the others to go back to the tent first, I don't know if Wu Er's words Song Pan heard clearly, he saw him "lying in the groove", and then the sound of dripping rain soon sounded above the heads of the two, and the sky darkened at a visible speed, and the two of them got into the tent one after another, the rain was already pouring down, and the loud and noisy sound suddenly squeezed into the forest, Wu Er felt as if the pot had exploded in his ears.

"Fatty, I just saw Ding Mian outside as if he was eating insects!"

"I said I saw Ding Miansheng eating insects!" Wu Er raised his voice to decibels, Song Pan glanced at him, and reached out to probe his forehead for a while: "Big brother, are you sick?"

Wu Er pushed him away with a palm: "Your uncle, believe it or not!"

"But what you said reminded me......" Song Pan got up and tightened the chain of the tent, and continued: "Isn't that guy afraid of water, can he stand such a heavy rain?"

"Hmm......" Wu Er also groaned, remembering the changes that happened to Ding Mian's face when he saw him in the tavern, and Ding Mian seemed to be a different person at that time.

The two were half leaning together, chatting without saying a word, and the sound of raindrops hitting the tent was in their ears, and in the middle of the conversation at this moment, Song Pan suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Wu Er: "Wait, wait...... Listen, is someone calling us by name?"

Wu ...... Surname...... Hurry up ......!"

Wu Er listened attentively, and then nodded: "It seems that someone called me...... I'll go to your uncle!", Wu Er suddenly changed his mouth in the middle of the conversation, feeling that the knot in the corner of the tent was broken, and the words on his lips finally turned into a loud roar.

Before the two of them could stand up completely, a huge force came from under their feet, and the ground that they had just been in collapsed halfway, seeing that Song Pan had already stepped on one foot, the tent suddenly reversed, and brought the two people back, there was a deafening sound in their ears, stones, grass and trees, all seemed to be swallowed up by a huge mouth, the surging black tide was like a black tongue stretched out by the mountain, Song Pan and Wu Er crawled out of the tent in a row, and saw that it was Ye Feisong who pulled back their tent at a critical time, which was considered to have escaped.

"Are you okay?!" Team leader Mo Yuxuan was also shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly ran over to ask.

"......" Wu Er waved his hand, but his face was pale and speechless, Song Pan slapped his chest: "I'm scared to death fat master, what the is this?"

"Mudslide, even if you two boys have a big life, no matter how slow it is two seconds, the gods can't save you. Ye Feisong also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, glanced at Wu Er more, and saw that they were fine, reminding everyone to continue walking.

Only then did Wu Er see that the original road they had taken up the mountain had now been completely destroyed, and a large area of uprooted trees had almost filled the mountain pass when they came.

"What can I do about this, woo woo woo...... "Before everyone could come to their senses, Hu Kui had already cried out first, and his emotions suddenly led many people, everyone was silent, looking at each other in the dark, and the team leader Mo Yuxuan took out a flashlight and comforted: "Don't be afraid, let's continue to move forward, there should be other ways down the mountain." ”

"With such a big commotion, isn't there anyone under the mountain who can find out? Why don't we just wait for rescue on the spot?" Hu Yanzheng and Hu Kui are cousins, but they are much calmer than cousins.

"Don't be kidding, waiting for rescue here is not the same as waiting for death? I am afraid that the mudslide has made the geology of this area extremely unstable, and if the rain falls like this, if you wait a little longer, this place may also collapse." "Standing up and speaking is a big and sturdy man, called Zhou You. As soon as he spoke, Li Jie'an and Wu Gengjun beside him nodded and agreed: "Yes, we have been in the mountain for so long, and the forest is so dense, it is really difficult to guarantee that the mountain can be found in time, the time is now evening, even if someone rescues, I am afraid that it will have to wait until tomorrow, instead of waiting here, it is better to rush to the hill at night, there are at least the ruins of the cemetery over there, and it should not be a big problem to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

As soon as these words came out, no one had any objections so far, Mo Yuxuan was the team leader after all, although he was caught off guard by such a thing, he still maintained his sanity: "Zhou You is right, it is indeed not suitable to stay here all the time." ”

Everyone began to pack up their things silently, Wu Er walked to Ye Feisong's side and said softly, "Thank you for helping you just now......

"It's okay, since everyone is in a group, it is also appropriate to help each other when there is danger, not to mention that you helped Nian'an, I haven't had time to thank you yet. Although Ye Feisong's mouth was relaxed, Wu Er's eyes still caught a glimpse of his right hand hanging unnaturally, after all, it was a force under such a dangerous situation, if Wu Er was alone, the key was Song Pan, a fat man of nearly two hundred catties, fortunately, it was a strong person like Ye Feisong, and if he was any one in the group, it might not be able to pull back the two of them, it was more appropriate to save his life than to help.

Song Pan was shocked, and grabbed Ye Feisong's hand and shook it: "Big brother's life-saving grace, Xiao Song will remember it in his heart and never forget it!"

The fat man came down suddenly, Ye Feisong was unexpected, Wu Er's face was shocked, and he was about to remind the fat man that Ye Feisong's right hand was injured, but who knew that his mouth was halfway open but he saw a very unusual scene, Ye Feisong's right elbow joint was held by the fat man for a moment, and there was a strange bulge, like a broken bone against the skin, but it quickly returned to normal, and he only had a faint smile on his face: "It may not be appropriate to call me brother, Nian An has to call me uncle." ”

"Ah! Uncle Yu Xiao Song, Entong recreated, if you are lucky enough to marry Nian'an in the future, you will definitely be regarded as your own father!"

Wu Ermulan turned his head to look at Song Pan, wondering if his brain had been concussed in the danger just now, where the hell did he read the next three abuses, and he actually opened his mouth to come!

"It seems that you are young, not only have much longer flesh, but also have a good sense of humor. Ye Feisong crooked his eyebrows and replied jokingly, and Wu Er on the side almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard it.

"Uncle, don't look at me as fat, but I have high agility, and I will be a special police officer in the future, and it will be no problem to fight three at all! The fat man still didn't give up, but Ye Feisong didn't have time to talk more, so he turned around and began to pack his things into his backpack. On the other side, Mo Yuxuan was counting the number of people, and found that Ding Mian was not in the team, and suddenly became nervous. His eyes fell on Ye Feisong, who knew that Ye Feisong was not shocked by the disappearance of his companions: "Probably to explore the way ahead, we often sleep in the open because of the nature of our work, he has a very strong ability to survive in the wild, don't worry." ”

These words not only reassured Mo Yuxuan's heart, but also reassured Wu Er's heart, after all, it was already a bit terrifying to encounter such a thing as eating insects in life, but it was not strange for people who often survived in the wild.

The group did not dare to stay longer, and began to go deep into the forest, this time everyone only dared to look carefully at the road under their feet, the mountain road was slippery, and the sky was gloomy, everyone turned on the flashlight, fortunately, everyone went into the mountain to prepare water and food, but after a few hours of rushing the mountain road was still tired enough, and finally in the case of several ladies overdrafted the physical strength of everyone stopped again.

The sky was already a black that could not be smeared, Wu Er raised his flashlight and glanced around, and found that the forest was surrounded by cliffs that plunged into the sky, like the earth erected huge spikes, the cliffs were covered with green vines, and there were plants and trees spreading branches dancing in the wind, if it was placed in the clear sky during the day, it could be said that it was a place with excellent scenery, but unfortunately now there was a storm overhead, but there was an indescribable weirdness.

"Who?!" Just as everyone sat down to rest, suddenly Liu Wentong shouted, and the light of the flashlight immediately shot into the distance, and in the darkness, a black shadow came over in a trance.

"I, I, I...... It's my ......" Hearing the voice of a person, everyone relaxed, and it turned out that Ding Mian, who had not heard from him for several hours, had returned.

"How's it going?' Ye Feisong asked as soon as he arrived, as if he had already made an agreement with Ding Mian.

"I'm not optimistic, I still can't open it. ”

This question and answer made everyone confused, could it be that the road ahead was blocked by something?

"Have you two been here?" the team leader Mo Yuxuan reacted, with a look of alarm on his face.

Ye Feisong smiled lightly: "We don't know how many times we have run this hill sacrifice mausoleum, and we are already familiar with the road." ”

"The hill is a place of sacrifice in ancient times, why do you run here often when you have nothing to do?"

"Hey......" Ye Feisong sighed, looked at the others, and said: "Ming people don't say secret words, everyone don't hide it, what kind of place is Sucheng?

As soon as the words came out, except for Wu Er and Song Pan, who looked confused, the rest of the people couldn't help but feel astringent, obviously being broken.

"Wait a minute!" Song Pan raised his hand to interrupt their conversation, frowned and asked, "What's the situation? From the moment you enter the mountain, you have never been able to avoid the matter of the ancient tombs, there are so many ancient tomb ruins that have been excavated in the world, terracotta warriors and horses, pharaoh's tombs, queen's tombs, etc., etc., why are you so interested in the ancient tombs of this city?"

Ye Feisong seemed to be happy to talk about this topic, and happily spoke: "Because the ancient tomb of Sucheng is mysterious enough, mysterious to the law of natural survival, and it has never been revealed in its true face over the years. ”

"Since the ancient tomb has not been opened, and nothing inside can be determined, why are you so eager to do it?" Song Pan was still puzzled and asked.

"Haha, young man, you don't know, this human nature has a characteristic, that is, the more you can't touch the truth, the more you want to know the truth, just like a moth to a fire, not to mention the mysterious rumors of the ancient tomb in Sucheng, it is about the fountain of eternal life that a mysterious tribe looked for thousands of years ago, what a tempting thing, starting from Qin Shi Huang, and then there were Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing, etc., some emperors want to seek the way of immortality, looking at these today, I think it is absurd and ignorant history, but who are these emperors? Since the ancient tomb of Sucheng has not been excavated, it shows that there is still hope that has not disappeared, even if the final result is not satisfactory, but the premise is that the truth must be touched first. Ye Feisong said it thoroughly, and Wu Er didn't feel a little respectful of him, but at the same time, he also felt that this graduation trip was very different from his original intention.

Could there really be some unknown risks?
