Chapter 62: The Mystery of the Yong King
"Your Majesty, I also find it strange in this area, the more you go inside, the fewer people there are. It always feels like something is wrong. Zhao Meng said.
"Since you come out, you don't need to call me the emperor, this area doesn't look different on the surface, but in fact, the yin qi is very heavy, I'm afraid it was once a funeral ground or a mass grave." I said.
"Could that have something to do with the tomb of King Yong we're looking for?" Bingyan said, and the soldiers were all shocked.
"You're outsiders, aren't you?" Suddenly, a shepherd stopped us in our way, and we saw that we were about fifty years old, and we were supposed to be a local resident.
"Well, what advice does the old man have?" Zhao Meng said.
"No, you can't go any further!" The shepherd said, his eyes full of horror and his face rather gloomy.
"Why?" Zhao Meng asked, I was also curious.
"Haunted inside!" The shepherd paused.
"How is that possible!" Zhao Meng smiled, "You Zhao Ye and I have not been afraid of anything weird since I was a child!" I don't even believe in God! You don't bluff me! ”
"Well, I told you that you wouldn't believe it. Originally, it was a good town, but it has changed since King Yong came here hundreds of years ago. The shepherd said in a deep voice, which sounded hairy.
"Old man, where do you start with this, is there such a person as King Yong in history?" Bingyan asked curiously.
"Yes, and this person is very terrifying, I also heard from my ancestors, this Yongwang is a vassal king of the Zhou Dynasty, the territory is not large, but the power is very large, legend has it that he has a spirit flag, can borrow ghost soldiers. This person is also proficient in Qimen demon art and pursues immortality. A few years before he was about to die, he accidentally obtained a jade figurine, and he was told that wearing this jade figurine would lead to immortality. But it will take a long time, so he repairs the mausoleum for himself in advance. The shepherd stopped at this point.
"Old man, why don't you go on." Zhao Meng urged.
"Hey, forget it, you won't believe it, if the emperor hears it, I'm afraid he will be killed." The shepherd said.
"Hehe, the one in front of you is the Holy One today." Zhao Meng said, the shepherd was frightened, and said: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, I will never say this kind of rumor again." ”
"I forgive you for no fault, but if you continue to tell a lie, I will take your head." I said, thinking that it would be better to scare and scare him, or it would be useless for him to make it up.
"Yes, yes." The shepherd hurriedly said, Zhao Meng handed him a bottle of wine, he trembled and took a few sips, and continued: "Since then, King Yong has recruited strong men to build a mausoleum for him, and anyone who disobeys him will be sucked away by the ghost flag. ”
"Nonsense, how can there be a banner that can suck people away!" Zhao Meng shouted. I glared at him and motioned for the shepherd to continue.
"King Yong recruited about 10,000 strong men and hundreds of craftsmen to build a mausoleum for him, and his mausoleum was in the area in front of him. Most of the people who built the mausoleum were locals, and these people disappeared after helping King Yong build the mausoleum, including King Yong and his mausoleum. Since then, people have been looking for their way out, and for hundreds of years they have found nothing. The shepherd said.
"Needless to say, these people must have given the old thing Yongwang a martyr, and the ferocity of Yongwang is no less than Bai Qi." Zhao Meng said, the root of his teeth itching with hatred.
"Hey, it's not for nothing that I've been looking for the tomb of King Yong for hundreds of years, but I'm afraid there is no one who can really find it, and even if he finds it, he will die inside." The shepherd said.
"Old man, don't be alarmist, I'm a little scared." Zhao Meng said.
"It's not to scare you, you can't get past the ghost valley in front of you. As long as people and animals enter it, they will go crazy for no reason, and then somehow die inside. Over the years, there are quite a few corpses inside. The last time someone went in was two hundred years ago. After that, I don't know if anyone will go in, and who will be able to manage it. The shepherd said.
"So, is there any other way, maybe not to go through this ghost valley? Look at this picture, old man. Bingyan said, handing him the treasure map.
The shepherd took the treasure map, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a tone of disbelief, "This picture...... Where did you get this picture? This is the painting of our village Xiaoliu. ”
"Little Six, what Little Six? This is a relic of Bai Qi. This has been going on for years. Bingyan said.
"That'...... It's no wonder that if this wasn't painted by Xiao Liu, it was his ancestor. The shepherd said, holding the picture tightly.
"I want to think about it, by the way, Xiaoliu's ancestors were craftsmen, and he once built a mausoleum for King Yong, so this person didn't die after building a mausoleum for King Yong!" The shepherd said. Everyone was stunned that such a mystery had been solved.
"Well, according to the current clues, this person did escape, but it seems that he did not return to the village, he may have fled to Qin after a pseudonym, and then his descendants were under Bai Qi's hands and dedicated this picture to Bai Qi." I said, and the confusion in my heart was lifted at once.
"Okay, I'm going to tell Xiaoliu about it now." The shepherd put the map into the hands of the ice goose and said, he turned around, paused, and said, "There is a plain on the map, and after passing through it, there is an underground river, through which you can reach the tomb of King Yong. But the rest is up to you. ”
