Chapter 127: The Night of the Horror of Chuanbei Mountain

To the west of Huangjiang Prefecture, in the past hundred miles, there is a towering mountain, named Chuanbei Mountain.

Because this place is remote, sparsely populated, and the roads are inconvenient, there have always been some strange rumors.

Wang Baoshan took Lu Yun and worked hard all the way, trekking through mountains and rivers. From Guanping City to here, it took almost five days to drive the waterway and seven or eight days to the mountain road.

I came here because, according to Chen Chong, inside this mountain, there is the raw ore of flint powder.

The two of them, after arriving at this Sichuan Bei Mountain, did not rush up the mountain, but lived in a local family in a small mountain village at the bottom of the mountain.

The village is not large, there are about twenty or thirty families, it is a mud-walled thatched shack, and the environment is not very good.

Almost every house is dilapidated, and it seems that the villagers here have lived here for many years.

The people in the village are busy every day, but they have little practical use, and they are still poor. Otherwise, the villagers would not have starved and endured hunger every day, and there would have been famine from time to time.

This is also the situation that Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun learned after they lived in the village for a few days after they came.

Presumably, there are people everywhere in the world who don't have enough to eat, and it's the same everywhere!

Through the visit in the past few days, they also learned that there are many natural potholes on Chuanbei Mountain, and it is said that there are often outsiders who go to look for good things inside.

But on the mountain, the peaks are Luobu, steep and severe, and it is difficult to climb. So much so that in those places where the environment is extremely harsh, it is sparsely populated all year round.

Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun had to go into the mountains during the day to find the whereabouts of the flint powder, and at night, they returned to the village to rest.

After searching for a few days, they decided to try their luck in some remote mountainous areas.

On this day, they were a little late in their search, and when they were about to return, it was getting dark, and it was already dusk.

At this time, the weather suddenly changed drastically, and the clouds were thick, and there was a sign that the wind and rain were coming.

This makes them, in a hurry, can't help but lose their way.

Wang Baoshan was worried and couldn't find a way back to the village, but he could hear the noise of someone in front of him.

He hurriedly looked far away, and saw a group of people winding along the mountain road.

Fortunately, there were people on the same road, Wang Baoshan felt a little at ease, and planned to rush over and ask them for directions, so that they could return to the village together.

Who knows that the mountain road is tortuous, and the mountain runs a dead horse.

When he and Lu Yun turned a few hills and arrived there, they saw that there was a cave there, but the team they had seen before was gone.

It didn't take long for it to rain suddenly, and after a while, it turned into a drifting rain and catharsis.

This sudden rainstorm instantly enveloped the entire Chuanbei Mountain, making the path on the mountain wet and slippery, and it seemed that it was impossible to go down the mountain.

Wang Baoshan looked back at the way he came and found that there was no more.

"What's going on?

He couldn't help but tremble for a while, so he asked Lu Yun beside him.

"General, what should I do now?"

And Lu Yun was obviously more scared than him, soaking wet and not speaking, still trembling, where could he answer him.

At this time, he couldn't go down the mountain, and Wang Baoshan was helpless. He had no choice but to take Lu Yun and burrow into the cave in front of him.

Fortunately, he and Lu Yun were by their side, with objects sleeping in the wild. He didn't think that he would be able to go down the mountain for a while anyway, so it was better to stay in this cave and make up for the night, and then find a way down the mountain after the day was bright and clear.

So, the two of them went into the depths of the cave, looking for a place where they could spend the night.

But just waiting for Lu Yun and lighting the torch, he saw that the cave was quite large, and there were actually hundreds of steps.

In the middle of the cave, there is also a circular stone platform more than half a person high, about ten feet square.

On top of it was the corpse of a man who had just died.

Because this corpse was tightly wrapped in a white cloth, for a while, people couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman.

And on the walls of the surrounding caves, there are dense and a large number of small holes chiseled. In each small hole, there are jars with names written on them......

At this time, Wang Baoshan, who watched such scenes, finally understood some clues.

They accidentally broke into the cave where the locals were buried.

According to what he knew, he knew that the funeral rites were different in different places, including cremation, earth burial, water burial, and some tree burials, or sky burials.

The local custom is mountain burial.

Wang Baoshan has been living in the village below the mountain these days, and he has heard from the local villagers that the local funeral rites are very strange and mysterious, and they are different from other places.

The custom of mountain burial here is to bury the deceased in the first year of burial, not to use a coffin to bury the deceased. Instead, he put the body of the man who had just died on a stone platform in a cave on the mountain.

After the first anniversary had passed, the people of his family would go up the mountain to collect the bones, put them in the altar, and then place them on the wall of the cave here.

It seems that the cave where Wang Baoshan and the others are now is the place where the local people send their bodies to be buried.

Moreover, the inside of the cave is very large, and at a glance, it seems that there are thousands of bone altars on the wall of the cave.

When he first heard these legends, Wang Baoshan once felt curious and asked the people in the village, saying that if the dead body was thrown in the hole like that, wouldn't it rot and stink, and be gnawed by insects and beasts?

But the people in the village said, "No, because this cave is where the Yaksha of Hades lives, and the Yaksha will come to clean up the body."

Because, every time the family of the deceased, when the time limit was expired, and after the first anniversary, when they came to worship, they only saw some bones.

And on top of them, they are clean, and there is no flesh left.

In addition, under normal circumstances, the bones of the corpse will be placed neatly without any damage.

If he is thrown everywhere, it means that this person has done bad things in his life, and Yaksha is not willing to treat him well.

His family will also have bad luck in the days to come......

Wang Baoshan has experienced a lot of magical and strange things, although he believes that there are really ghosts and gods in this world, but he is skeptical of this kind of saying that good and evil will end up and will be rewarded in the end.

But the people in the village said that there was indeed something to do.

He also claimed that the legend about the Yaksha was because there were really brave people who went to peek at it.

It's just that the people who saw it were later cursed by the gods and died innocently for no reason.

So, since then, no one has dared to take a peek.

Wang Baoshan was very curious when he heard it at first, and he wanted to see the scene of the burial of the locals.

But the local people, when they went out of the funeral, did not let them follow at all.

This time, he didn't expect that he would find this place by mistake.

At this time, the weather is not very cold, but in the cave, there is a cloudy wind and a cold air.

Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun were not lightly frozen, and they felt very uncomfortable.

They wanted to find shelter from the wind, so they came to a corner far away from the dead body, which was obscured by a stone wall.

Wang Baoshan took out the hay mat he carried with him from the Qingling ring. He planned to sit in the corner with Lu Yun, take a good rest, and be out of sight.

In this cave full of bone altars, and there is a corpse that has died not long ago, it is certainly not comfortable to sleep.

But the two of them, after a day of climbing the mountain road, were so tired that in a daze, they fell asleep, and they slept very deeply.

"Hiss ......"

In his sleep, there was a sudden strange sound, and Wang Baoshan was awakened in an instant.

This sudden change made him frightened for a while, and he didn't know what was going on.

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly woke up Lu Yun.

At this moment, the torch that had been lit was extinguished at some point.

Inside the cave, it was as dark as ink, and I couldn't see my fingers. Wang Baoshan, who was completely awakened, remembered their situation.

In the cave where the bones were kept, there was no one around except the two of them.

When he boarded, Wang Baoshan was frightened, frightened, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Lu Yun was also frightened, and the two trembled. Now he is hiding behind Wang Baoshan, shrinking his body, not daring to move.

Could it be that the Yaksha really appeared?

Wang Baoshan was suspicious in his heart, so he secretly raised his head, looked at the back of the stone wall, and looked slowly.

But I saw that in the dark cave, on the stone platform where the dead were piled up, there were faintly several figures that kept shaking.

Because the cave was pitch black, they looked blurry, and for a while, they couldn't see their true faces.

"Boom...... Long ......"

Outside the cave, thunder and lightning poured down.

Only through the lightning that appeared from time to time outside the cave, could you barely see their figures.

Wang Baoshan found that they were all extremely thin and terrifying, like withered children without clothes.

At this time, there was a slight fishy smell wafting in the air, and he suddenly realized that the sound was the sound of chewing!

The cave is extremely dark, littered with rocks, and everything is unknown.

Wang Baoshan couldn't see what those figures were.

He also touched the stone wall, trying to find a better vantage point, intending to take a closer look.

But when he looked up, he suddenly found a person squatting on the stone wall.

The man was very short, with a shriveled face like a hungry ghost, and two eyes, but they were very large, and they looked bright and scorching.

This scared Wang Baoshan so much that his soul did not possess his body.

He was about to stand up when the man pounced on him and grabbed his right leg with both hands.

This made him feel a hot and sharp pain, like a red-hot wire, piercing into his flesh.

At this time, out of nowhere, several more black shadows appeared, similar to the previous person, and began to bite his body desperately......

At this life-threatening juncture, he used his last strength to take out a bright bead from the Qingling Ring.

Suddenly, a bright halo of light immediately illuminated the surrounding darkness.

By this light, he saw all around him these small people, each with a hideous face and a withered shape.

And before, on that stone platform, the corpse wrapped in white cloth was already a mess, and it was torn to pieces......
