Chapter 58: Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and Emperor Wang's spring heart trusts the cuckoo
The beggar was so frightened that he instantly hid behind me and shivered, I also looked around timidly, but I didn't see anything, I don't know if the beggar was hallucinating just now or if something was really touching his back?
Seeing this, Chen Erdemon smiled and said: "I said big brother beggar, what are you fussing about, is it Zhuang Zhou or a butterfly?"
Chen Erdemon came up with such a poetic and picturesque question, which is particularly in line with our current situation, which is indeed unexpected, and at this moment we really don't know whether the incident just now is true or false!
The beggar hid behind my back and said to the second demon of Chen tremblingly: "It's all because of your stinky mouth, telling that kind of terrible story, so that my heart is now in my throat!" ”
Chen Eryou walked over and said, "I was a few years ago, and now I don't have anything to ask for, you ......"
Before Chen Erdemon finished speaking, he suddenly froze in place, his face changed greatly, and his eyes were full of incomparable fear.
I said suspiciously, "Chen Erdemon, what's wrong with you?" ”
Chen Eryou's frightened voice was hoarse, and he said, "Someone...... Behind the ...... Touch me ......"
The beggar and I were shocked again, and I hurriedly gathered my internal strength in the dantian, ready to meet the battle at any time.
In this way, the three of us shot around with six pairs of eyes to see if we could find any clues, but after observing for a long time, we still didn't find anything at all. This person who is hidden in the shadows may not be a person, and he is certainly not so stupid, and he came out when we were so vigilant and let us catch him.
So, I pretended to be okay and said to you beggar and Chen Erdemon: "Okay, okay, don't scare yourself, what's there, it's clearly your fantasy, I'm afraid it's Emperor Wangdi and Cuckoo again, right?!" ”
When I spoke, I was also nervous to death, this damn thing, the dragon saw the head and the tail, quietly hidden in this cliff cave, I don't know what I want to do?
The beggar and Chen Eryou had been standing for a long time in fear, and it seemed that they didn't want to sit down, but at this moment I pretended to be calm and sat down boldly.
At this time, although I sat down, I had already lifted up the internal force, and I was just waiting for the unknown thing to appear again, and I would definitely catch him red-handed!
After a while, everyone's tense nerves barely relaxed a little.
At this time, I suddenly felt a cold aura swaying behind me, I rubbed it and jumped high, and then a dragon stood behind the cold aura, and said coldly: "Come out, Hugh is going to pretend to be a ghost here?" ”
The beggar and Chen Erdemon were really frightened by my actions, thinking that I was enchanted, and were just about to get up and pull me back, when I saw an almost transparent thing between me and the two of them staring at me with a pair of transparent eyes and looking at me, although it was very transparent, I could clearly feel his squirming breath.
This transparent thing, seeing that we have been surrounded, can't get out, I saw his head shake from side to side a few times, and suddenly a child-like monster was exposed in front of our eyes, and we were all so frightened that we hurriedly retreated.
I saw this thing in front of me, the skin had been shriveled and there was no moisture, and the white tooth was grinding with a cold light, half of the face was blurred with flesh and blood, half of it was leaking from the skull, and a rancid smell came out of the body.
When this little monster saw that we had discovered it, it immediately showed a fierce expression.
Chen Erdemon was looked at by the soybeans, and the big cold sweat fell from the top of his head to the ground.
Suddenly, Chen Erdemon shouted: "Run, run, what are you doing in a daze......"
The three of us were desperately trying to run towards the outside of the cave in an instant.
At this time, this transparent little zombie monster suddenly jumped in front of Chen Erdemon and blocked his way.
Chen Erdemon fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing to this monster and begging for mercy, looking at me and the beggar dumbfounded.
I flew over, grabbed Chen Eryou, who was on the ground, and said angrily: "What kind of nerves do you have, and you still beg the people who eat you to forgive you?" ”
Chen Erdemon said in a trance: "Two heroes, save me, save me, I don't want to be this monster's meal!"
After speaking, Chen Erdemon curled up on the ground and kept shivering.
I immediately put Chen Er Demon down, because this monster had already leaked a gnashing of teeth at me, and I knew that he was going to do something to me!
Sure enough, before I could finish thinking about it, the monster had already stretched out its long nails and pounced on me, I quickly took out the dragon scales, and with a flash of cold light, I instantly cut off one of the monster's fleshless bloody hands and fell to the ground, and the hand was still beating on the ground.
The monster looked at the half of the arm, but there was no response.
Suddenly, I saw the monster howling a few times into the cave, and in an instant, countless monsters almost identical to the little zombie in front of me appeared around and on the top of the cave, and there were so many people that there were probably twenty or thirty people!
The beggar and I were frightened and stepped back, then stood back to back.
The beggar whispered, "Childe, what should I do?" Looks like we're going to have to explain it here today! ”
I said calmly: "What nonsense are you talking about, we still have important things to do, how can we die like this, listen to my signal for a while, prepare to rush out and talk about it, and then think of a way!" ”
The beggar didn't say anything, nodded heavily, and there was already a murderous aura in his eyes.
Chen Erdemon will lie on the ground, keep looking at everything that happened with those round eyes, he is no longer as afraid as he was just now, this grandson must have wanted to deceive this group of zombies with fake death just now, but this method is obviously useless, the little monster with the severed hand picked up the severed hand, and suddenly jumped up and inserted it into Chen Erdemon.
Chen Erdemon's eyes were quick, and a clever man rolled to the place where we were standing, and then quickly got up and stood back to back with us.
Chen Eryou said anxiously: "What should I do?" What to do? They must have come for our viability! ”
I said angrily, "Then what are you bastard pretending to be dead, do you want to implicate us?" I might as well hand you over just now, and maybe they'll be able to spare us!" ”
Chen Erdemon said: "Hey, I said two heroes, you look at their shriveled bodies, you know how long they haven't seen food, and now they see three alive, how can they let you go easily!" ”
I said categorically: "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to live, follow me!" ”
It's too late, it's too fast, we just said those few words, the little monster in the lead has already pounced on us, I have already condensed the internal force in the palm of my hand, and instantly used a palm to knock the flying little monster back.
Seeing this, the group of zombies jumped down and attacked us.
I took out the dragon scales and walked in front, Chen Erdemon was in the middle, behind the beggar hall, so I slowly moved towards the entrance of the cave, flying one, we cut and killed one, but unfortunately the number of this monster is really large, and it is still not afraid of pain, the kind that can't be killed, the beggar is already tired and panting in the back.
At this time, the monster pounced on it with such ferocity that we were all a little overwhelmed.
That Chen Erdemon was also an old man of tomb robbery, and quickly took out the black donkey's hooves from his pocket, and then picked up the torches on the fire on the ground, and burned the black donkey's hooves, and a fishy smell of burning instantly spread, and the group of monsters also retreated again and again when they saw this.
When the beggar saw that this method worked, he also took a few of them and put them on the torches and burned them, and when we got there, there was a rush in front of us, and all three of us fled in a hurry.
When I came to the entrance of the cave, I saw that those monsters rushed over us, I looked around, and quickly pushed a large stone that had fallen at the entrance of the cave to the entrance of the cave, and then quickly lit a fire on it.
I must smoke these monsters inside, or let them escape will be in trouble.
So, I told the beggar and Chen Erdemon to find some dry wood on the spot, and then go to the nearby pine tree to cut some green branches, and put these green branches on top of the fire, the smoke is enough to smoke the monsters in the cave to death!
A moment later, a raging fire had been lit on the big stone at the entrance of the cave, and the green branches were already thick with smoke, and by the wind in the col, all the smoke was blown into the cave, and we shuddered to hear the wolf crying and ghosts in the cave, and the sound of scratching the stones with our fingernails on the wall.
If we were caught by these monsters just now, we would have been torn apart alive!
The beggar came over and asked suspiciously, "What the hell is this?" Is it a human or a ghost? Why are all children in it? ”
I also shook my head helplessly, indicating that I didn't know what it was!
After a while, Chen Erdemon suddenly popped out and said, "I probably know their origins!" ”
The beggar said, "Then tell me quickly, what kind of monsters are these?" ”
Chen Erdemon took out his cigarette pouch, took a few puffs by the firelight, and then fell into deep thought.
After smoking a pot of cigarettes, Chen Eryou said: "This thing, I'm afraid it's still a product of the Goguryeo Kingdom!" ”
The beggar and I looked at Chen Erdemon in surprise.
Chen Erdemon continued: "In my life, except for the three zombies I saw earlier, I have never encountered such a large group of monsters, not so much monsters, but undead zombies that have evolved and evolved for thousands of years!" ”
Chen Eryou said slowly: "These things are still what I heard from my old man when I followed my master before. My master is a very famous builder of mausoleums, almost all the mausoleums of the wealthy people in the Northeast were built by him, and he has also seen many methods and means of building mausoleums in the past.
According to my master, many years ago, Goguryeo was a barbaric and cruel country, and the king of Goguryeo asked a sorcerer to make a lot of heinous monsters in order to be able to hug him when he died, as he did in life, and his soul was not disturbed.
According to legend, the king of Goguryeo found hundreds of five or six-year-old children all over the country, and then released the blood in their bodies alive, and then immediately poured mercury from the top of the head, the mercury density is very large, and the body that has been shriveled is very full in an instant.
You can now imagine how strong the fear, anger, and resentment would be when a living person watched his blood being released little by little, not to mention that it was still a five or six-year-old child. People say that in this world, women and children have resentment, and that is more terrible than anything!
In this way, a mercury puppet with great resentment was made, and then placed in the tomb of the king's mausoleum, the resentment accumulated over time, and the resentment of these puppets slowly formed consciousness, and finally they all became undead zombies who could move freely, and the undead zombies would pounce on them and kill them when they saw the living, and eat their flesh and blood to enrich their skins.
And these undead zombies eat human flesh, drink human blood, and will grow up slowly, but the speed is very slow, under normal circumstances, if the mausoleum is intact, they will be trapped inside forever and can't get out, once the mausoleum is stolen, then they are likely to run out through the hole to harm people.
The Goguryeo Kingdom has a history of thousands of years, and the tombs of many generations of kings have been stolen, so it is certainly not surprising that we encountered them in the deep mountains and forests of this barren mountain range. ”
After Chen Erdemon finished speaking, I suddenly realized that those rulers in ancient times were really cruel to the point of outrageousness, living to oppress the people all their lives, and not forgetting to kill innocent children when they died.
Looking at the billowing smoke in front of me, I looked up at the sky, hoping that the children who had been dead for thousands of years would end this endless resentment, turn into a speck of dust on the black earth, and disappear to the end of this world. No matter where you go or where you are reincarnated, you can live a normal life without being disturbed!
Seeing that the time was almost up, and the sound inside slowly stopped, I thought it was almost smoked, so I asked the beggar and Chen Erdemon to bring in stones and completely seal this cliff cave.
At this time, it is the third watch, and it seems that I can't have a good rest tonight!
Anyway, the three of us mounted our horses one after another, and took advantage of the sparse moon and stars to drive into the distance.
In this way, we didn't delay another day, either resting during the day, or hurrying at night, plus the shortcut that Chen Erdemon said, we arrived at Balhu City four days earlier than expected.
The Balhu steppe is completely in the Mongol sphere of influence, so we have to be very careful not to be regarded as tomb robbers by the local Mongols because of the slightest negligence, and then we will not want to leave here.
When we came to Balhu City, Chen Erdemon took us to find an inn, and then after we put away our luggage and equipment, they took us to find the so-called Gu Bao Zhai.
We walked through several streets, and then came to a remote alley, Chen Erdemon pointed to a shop in front of us and said, "That is Gu Bao Zhai!" ”
We hurried over, but all the hopes we had raised in front of us were shattered again.
The plaque of Gu Bao Zhai is hung diagonally on the door frame, and the seal of the government is pasted on the door, and when you look through the window, the table inside is crooked, and a thick layer of dust has fallen on the ground.
Looking at these, I asked Chen Erdemon suspiciously, "Is this ...... What's going on? ”
Chen Erdemon was also very surprised and said: "I don't know, the last time I came here was half a year ago, because it was a long way to come here, so I didn't come here again!" ”
The beggar said anxiously, "What can I do?" We ran thousands of miles here, and we pounced! ”
Chen Erdemon thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, let's go around and inquire around, see what happened in this store, maybe we can find some clues!" ”
So the three of us split up and asked the people around us to find out the truth.
The time of the two pillars of incense passed, and we all returned to the door of Gu Bao Zhai.
I looked at the beggar and asked, "Did you hear anything?" ”
The beggar shook his head again and again and said, "Don't talk about inquiring, those people left in a hurry as long as they heard the three words Gu Bao Zhai!" ”
I said, "yes, I'm having the same result, I don't know what's going on!" ”
At this time, I saw Chen Eryou's smile and smugness.
So I asked, "Second Demon Master, it seems that you have heard some good news?" ”
Chen Erdemon smiled: "That's natural, my demon second master made a move, then there is nothing that can't be done!" ”
I hurriedly asked, "Then tell me about it!" ”
Chen Erdemon looked around for a while, and then said quietly: "Let's find a place, it's a bit too ostentatious to discuss this on the street like this!" ”
There was a teahouse not far away, so we walked in and found a table in a secluded corner and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, the beggar asked strangely, "Chen Erdemon, neither of us has heard any news, how did you find out the news?" ”
Chen Eryou took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Now come out to mix, you can't do it without any means!" ”
I was puzzled and said, "What did you do?" ”
Chen Eryou smiled evilly and said: "I saw a shopkeeper who took ten taels of silver, and he told me everything in 1510!" ”
After hearing this, the beggar and I smiled bitterly, this world is really not going to get what you want without giving some benefits, it's sad and lamentable!
I continued: "Second Demon Master, then you can tell us about it quickly!" ”
Chen Erdemon said quietly: "Two young heroes, you see that I have traveled thousands of miles to find this Gu Bao Zhai for you, it can be described as hard work, and even almost took his life, this ......"
Before Chen Erdemon's words were finished, I knew what he wanted to say.
So I said coldly: "Don't worry, Second Demon Master, as long as you take us to find what we want, the five thousand taels of silver tickets I promised you will not be missing you!" ”
Chen Eryou said with a smile: "I knew that Gongzi was a righteous and wealthy person!" ”
The beggar glared at Chen Erdemon fiercely and said, "I can't forget your silver at any time, don't say it quickly!" ”
Chen Eryou smiled: "Yes, yes, I'll say it now!" ”
Chen Erdemon continued: "The shopkeeper told me just now that this Gu Bao Zhai was slaughtered overnight half a year ago, and dozens of people in the store all died violently overnight, and after a few months, people didn't know what happened, and finally was sued to the government to report the case, and then a group of officials came, and after checking the scene, Gu Bao Zhai was sealed!" ”
I asked anxiously, "Is the shopkeeper of Gu Bao Zhai still alive now?" What was the result of the government's investigation later? ”
Chen Eryou continued: "Everyone in the Gu Bao Zhai shop was killed overnight, but the shopkeeper disappeared, and the case was closed as an unsolved case after two months of investigation by the government without any news. Later, folklore said that this group of tomb robbers in Gu Bao Zhai often robbed the tombs of the ancestors of the Mongols, so a group of Mongolian tribal remnants killed all the people overnight, and then also brought the shopkeeper to their tribe, and now his life and death ......are unknown."
As soon as I heard this, my heart was cold, a clue that my father had finally found was broken like this? Where to find the tomb of the ancient Yuan Dynasty general in this vast Hulun grassland, for a while, my heart was extremely lost.
Seeing this, Chen Erdemon said: "Young man, don't be discouraged, I have already found out the location of the tribe of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, we might as well turn into travelers who travel in all directions and go to find out the news?" ”
I heard Chen Erdemon say this, and I was overjoyed in my heart, it was really "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village".
Chen Eryou continued: "I heard the shopkeeper say that in the northwest of Kuleng Lake, there is a remnant tribe of the Yuan Dynasty of the Die'er Liejin tribe, who live in seclusion in the depths of the Arshan Mountains all the year round, living an isolated life, but somehow three years ago they learned that their ancestors' tombs were stolen and excavated, so they sent a cavalry to investigate everywhere, and finally found the head of this Gu Bao Zhai, so the slaughter happened! ”
After listening to this, I already had a clear goal in mind, and this time we will go to some Mongolian tribe.
So, I said to the beggar and Chen Eryou: "In this case, it's late today, let's take a good rest and rush to the Die'er Liejin tribe in Arshan tomorrow!"
Both the beggar and Chen Erdemon nodded seriously.
I looked at the sky in the distance, and I felt lonely in my heart, not knowing what this mysterious tribe would be like......
