Chapter 57: A Dark Quest (I)
If no clues can be dug up from Orion, then Ziyou will have to give up the idea of looking for the old beggar, and at the same time persuade Xiao Mi to give up this unrealistic idea.
Let this mystery sink to the bottom, it is better to live with peace of mind.
"The man, dressed like a beggar in his clothes, and in his trousers and shoes, was dressed like a beggar...... Well, that's right, he's a beggar, have you ever seen it? ”
"You're coming for him!" The Orion jumped up violently, making Ziyou immediately raise his eyebrows, and Xiao Rice also projected an expectant gaze, with joy in his eyes...... Because it is clear that this Orion must know something, and has seen a certain beggar, but I don't know if it is the most crucial character in the story of Xiaomi.
"Yes, we're looking for him, have you seen him? Where is he? ”
"No wonder, you appeared here in the middle of the night, it turned out that you were looking for someone." Orion said, and then the Orion calmed down, and his face was embarrassed. Then tell them the worst truth. "When I found the man, he was dead......
These words spread around and spread to Xiao Xiaofan's ears, the hand holding Ziyou was secretly tight, there was some loss between his eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes were misty.
These words spread to Ziyou's ears, he touched his chin, and secretly furrowed his eyebrows, so that the only clue that knew Xiao Xiao's life experience and his position in this world was also broken, which was not good news.
These words also spread in the ears of the white face, and the guy leaned over a little inappropriately and asked in a low voice. "What old beggar, little beggar?"
Ziyou didn't bird him, and he only smiled stupidly.
"I found that person two days ago, he fell from the cliff, and he was already so angry, I saw that he was so dead, and there was no one to collect the body, so I carried him away and buried him." Orion said.
"Thank you...... "This Orion is still very good, honest, honest, enthusiastic and timid, Ziyou is grateful.
"Do you remember where it was buried?"
"I probably remember this...... Orion nodded, and then looked at Ziyou and the others a little strangely. You don't want to go to the place where the man is buried. ”
"What's wrong with that place?" Ziyou asked suspiciously.
Orion looked left and right, lowered his voice, and wanted to say something very mysteriously.
Seeing Orion's appearance, Ziyou and Zhang Bai's faces stretched out their heads curiously, and as for the small rice, it was because of the old beggar, and they were also listening sideways, and at the same time, there was sweat in their palms, which was enough to show that she was nervous now.
Everyone else waited for Orion's words, and Orion opened his somewhat peeling lips unexpectedly, and said with a gloomy face. "That place...... Haunted! ”
With a grunt, Zhang Bai's face was bloodless at first, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
However, Ziyou just raised his eyebrows, hammered Orion, and scolded with a smile. "Haunted is haunted, what are you pretending to be gloomy!"
Orion only said that Ziyou didn't believe it, and readjusted his tone. "It's really haunted, when I went to bury the beggar that day, I really met a ghost, it's so scary!"
Orion was afraid of the alarmist rumors that the world would not be chaotic, and his frightened white face trembled, and he ran to the nightingale before he regained a sense of security.
Got a ghost? Is there such a thing as a moth? As a modern person, feudal superstition can never be believed, but he Ziyou is a staunch atheist, let alone believe in the existence of ghosts and monsters in the world.
Very skeptical of Orion's words. "You...... Did you really see a ghost? Looked me in the eye and said. Ziyou pointed to his eyes, and under the narrow eyes, there was a slight flash of light.
Orion looked directly at Ziyou, but his heart was a little wavering, and the moment his eyes touched Ziyou's eyes, he unconsciously turned to the right, first nodded, and then shook his head. "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but ...... I heard the footsteps of the goblins......"
"Footsteps? But I remember that ghosts are supposed to float, how can there be footsteps? ”
Ziyou's words made Orion suddenly speechless, paused, and nodded again and again. "That's true, but how could anyone be there at that time...... It must be a ghost. ”
Orion thought about it, and found another piece of evidence that was enough to show that he had seen a ghost, so the somewhat wavering idea that had been persuaded by Azusa became firm again.
"Why can't it be that other people are there, you can bury people there, and other people won't go for a walk over there...... That's right...... Where the hell did you bury the old beggar? Ziyou asked.
"Mass graves."
"Ahh Zhang Baiyan screamed in fear, trying to hold the nightingale's body to calm his frightened little heart, but the nightingale would not let Zhang Baiface take advantage of her because Zhang Baiface was her master, so she took a step back and dodged.
Mass grave ...... That is, the concentration of buried people, this kind of place, unless you are particularly bold, no one dares to enter it easily, and if it is night, it is even more terrifying.
"Let's go, take us to the mass grave!" Azusa made a decision.
"No, it's haunted...... I'm not going! Orion spoke suddenly, and it seemed that the sound of his footsteps had scared him out.
"Brother Ziyou, do you really want to go to the mass grave, it's haunted, if you are eaten by a ghost, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" Zhang Baiyan also persuaded.
But Ziyou really had to go, he needed to make sure that the person was not the old beggar in the little rice story, and if so, maybe he could get some useful clues from his corpse.
And Orion must also go, without him, there are so many places where people are buried in mass graves, and it is impossible to tell where the old beggar is buried.
Orion was obviously frightened, and under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to go to the mass grave again, and even if the nightingale was holding a sword to protect him, it would not be able to reassure Orion, after all, the dead man on the mountain...... But there are too many, even if the nightingale shows extremely strong strength, but after all, it is a person, and it is impossible to compete with the ghosts.
Speaking of which, you can go to the mass grave during the day or at night, and Ziyou can wait until dawn, and the hunter will not be so afraid.
But in this place of Jiuli Mountain, there are bandits during the day and ghosts at night, in this case, it is still much easier for Ziyou to deal with ghosts...... As long as you have a firm belief that there are no cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in this world!
Then there is nothing to fear.
Ziyou didn't believe that there were ghosts, but the others didn't have so much to say, Ziyou looked around, and saw that the hunter and Zhang Baiface both took a few steps back, keeping a certain distance from Ziyou, if Ziyou really planned to go to the mass grave, they didn't have anyone...... Willing to go together.
Ziyou plucked out his ears, looking indifferent, and secretly scolded them for being too timid, but if he didn't take them, it would be impossible to get the results he wanted on this trip to the mass grave.
It's time to give them courage, well, pit them.
