Chapter 237 - Guidance (1)
With the singing, Luo Tong's tone gradually changed.
From innocence to a dangerous evil when you hear it.
The next moment.
In that pair of red lights, he thought that Luo Tong pounced.
Rushing out of the depths, you can see that the pair of red lights are actually people lying on their stomachs and lying on the ground!
It's just that these people have long lost their human form.
Their skin clung to their bones, and they looked particularly hideous.
Even the low roar in his throat was like that of a beast.
Judging by their tattered clothes, what they wore should have been the clothes of the workers of the last century.
"It turned out to be a former miner. ”
Luo Tong nodded, and said to himself: "I remember that it was reported that only seven people died in the mining accident, and the remaining 6523 people were rescued, and they received huge compensation, and they were also placed in better jobs, which turned out to be all lies." ”
As she spoke, her body was filled with aura.
If Ye Ce was here, he would definitely find that the aura exuded by Luo Tong was not what he was familiar with.
It's a low black, like a real black, as black as her ponytails.
A moment.
A few people who pounced on the vicinity fell to the ground with a bang, but then crawled on the ground and did not move.
They.
These people, who should have lost most of their minds, were scared.
Everyone's weirdos, their bodies trembling.
Their throats were clenched, and there was crying in their voices.
Crying?
Luo Tong continued to walk forward, and said, "I want to know what happened here, and what caused you to become like this, lead the way for me." ”
As soon as she said this, the men immediately climbed forward and acted as slaves to guide the way.
After a long way forward, a deep pit appeared in the mine.
Luo Tong looked inside, and there was no bottom.
Then she jumped off.
After about a few minutes, she landed lightly.
She was a little surprised to find that there was a town down there!
There was even a glowing orb floating in the sky, which looked like the sun.
But in that light, there is the deepest darkness.
Light, breeds darkness.
Luo Tong walked into the town, a building with only one main street and black stone at both ends.
The townspeople, on the other hand, were apparently emaciated, but at least they looked like individuals.
When these people saw Luo Tong, they all instinctively chose to kneel.
Luo Tong was also surprised, but he didn't show it, but took everyone's kneeling as a matter of course.
Because, as a matter of course, they knelt as a matter of course, and she had to take it for granted.
A few days ago, she felt a change in her aura, and it was a big change.
Because her aura is no longer what it used to be, but exudes a rich and deep black.
She didn't tell anyone about it, but studied it herself every day.
Afterward.
As if guided by her, she came to the outside of the mountain.
And, she felt what seemed to be the same power as her aura.
She is Ye Ce's sister-in-law, and she can enter and leave almost any important place in Sheng'an, even the most confidential archives.
Therefore, she naturally knew what Ye Ce had been busy with these days.
She knew that something of antiquity seemed to be coming back to life, and no one knew if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
And the brother-in-law is not at home, even if he is at home, with the strength of the brother-in-law's calf protection, he will not let himself participate in this matter, so he can only do it himself.
At this time.
Luo Tong had already arrived in the center of the town.
It's a crossroads.
And in the very center of the crossroads, there is an ancient well.
Luo Tong found that it seemed that the closer the building was to the ancient well, the more exquisite it became, and the area was also very large.
Just like the four buildings at this intersection, they are already villas.
Just as Luo Tong was observing the differences around him, everyone in the town seemed to gather and knelt in front of Luo Tong.
She ignored the men and looked at the ancient well.
There was no water in the ancient well, but it was full of black gas.
She stretched out her snow-white little hand and fished it inside, and a cloud of black gas was taken out by her.
This move immediately made everyone present very excited, and kowtowed again and again.
Could it be that the black gas in this ancient well can't be taken out by others?
Luo Tong frowned slightly, and said softly: "Come out and have someone who can speak." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, many people's eyes showed envy, even jealousy.
And.
They all looked at the four men kneeling at the front.
Of the four, three of them were adult men.
In contrast, they appeared strong, but their faces were paler, but the dark aura on their bodies was also the strongest.
They just walked out of those four buildings.
Obviously, these four people are like the leaders of this town.
However, the three adult men all looked at a handsome teenager.
The young man was wearing a white shirt and suspenders, a pair of black leather shoes on his feet, and dark eyes on his delicate face.
He knelt down and stepped forward respectfully, "I can speak." ”
The sound was crisp, but it was deep.
Luo Tong looked over and asked, "Is it only you who can speak?"
"Yes. He knelt straight and said, "The people here have long lost the ability to speak. Oh no, that's not accurate. To be sure, the people here no longer speak human language, but they can communicate in another language. I'm supposed to be an outlier, and I don't know why, but I'm talking. ”
"Let them all disperse. ”
Luo Tong waved his hand, sat down on the stone bench next to him, and his calves in stockings lifted Erlang's legs, and said, "Tell me everything here, don't miss a little." ”
"Yes!"
The boy waved his hand and roared at the men, who retreated without hesitation.
The only ones left were the three adults.
"They're all leaders here. ”
The boy continued: "Everything here starts before the mining disaster. ”
It was a time when the country was poor and the people were strong.
In order to be able to prosper enough, the whole people have become a force, even if they die, they must add bricks and tiles to the construction.
In the era of waste waiting to be rebuilt, many things that ordinary people can't know are still being carried out in secret.
Take this mine, for example.
There is no mine here, not even a single piece of coal can be dug up.
But someone discovered the ancient well here.
In fact, this is not a well, but a deep pit that leads to no one.
At that time, the technology was not enough to support unmanned surveys.
And although there is this kind of technology abroad, how can outsiders know about the strange power in this deep pit?
So.
At that time, a very prestigious person organized many scientific researchers, as well as learned people in the monastic world.
A total of more than 2,000 people entered the mountain as miners.
And the young man in front of Luo Tong is the person back then.
His name is Cui Xingshi, and he can be regarded as a rising star in the monk world back then.
At the beginning, Cui Xingshi proposed that the black qi in this pit was from the power of the ancients.
Moreover, many have chosen to believe this speculation.
Because of Cui Xingshi's master, the past dynasties have had a deep understanding of ancient culture.
After Cui Xingshi introduced the antecedents, he sighed and said, "When we arrived here, we immediately launched an investigation into the black qi. As a result, all of us were infected by the black gas. It's like a virus, and it can turn people into monsters by breathing. Of course, turning into a monster also varies from person to person. Monks like us, at least in appearance, don't change much. But our power has been corrupted. Not only strength, but also our state of mind. We're going to be brutal and murderous, and a little bit of a fight can make us kill......"
"Do you want to make a killing ring?" Luo Tong suddenly asked.
"Drove it. ”
Cui Xingshi said: "When we learned the truth, we were locked here. In order to gain freedom, I organized a riot and killed all the defenders here, more than 3,700 men. However, after I killed someone, I calmed down and was able to suppress the cruelty in my heart. I know it's right not to let us out. Otherwise, a group of people like us will definitely bring turmoil to society and even infect others. That's why we ended up blowing up the mine and staying underground. But before that, I also sent a message to the higher-ups, asking them to seal everything in this place and not let anyone know, otherwise careerists will try to get this power. And I got a reply from the top that they respected our decision. ”
"Hmm. ”
Luo Tong nodded, his face did not change, and continued to ask, "Then what about after that?"
"After that?"
Cui Xingshi shook his head and said, "For a period of time after that, there will still be news from the top from time to time, asking about our situation. But after ten years, no one cared about it anymore, and we were completely forgotten. Of course, that's exactly what we need. We want everyone to forget about us and no one will remember this place anymore. ”
Luo Tong continued to ask, "So, why are you kneeling me?"
Cui Xingshi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This should be a guide." Since we were forgotten, we started to rebuild our homes next to the ancient well, well, that's what you see it now. You should be wondering why we are like this, how desperate it is to be forgotten, why do we build any homes, right? Therefore, to be alive is to always find something to do. When we build a house with the unique stones here, we are all still happy and have a sense of accomplishment, which may be the joy of suffering. ”
"Later, we started to get guidance. Cui Xingshi said: "It's a guide, it's better to say that it's this black gas, which is letting us understand it." Therefore, we know that this black qi is actually a power left over from ancient times, representing the power of darkness and death, which is why our temperament changed greatly when we were first infected. We began to indulge in the power of black gas, sinking deeper and deeper, until many of us lost the ability to speak, as well as the ability to procreate. ”
