Chapter 537: The General's Grave
"So, Senior Zhao, can we go over now?"
After Chen Xiaoyao patted his chest and repeatedly reassured, Zhao Ping nodded slightly with an expressionless face, and the rest of the matter was simple, the two began to move, and both walked towards the outline of the building a few hundred meters away.
Cause? Presumably, everyone except idiots can guess that victory is at hand, and the overturning of the ship in the gutter is not what the executor wants.
Hula, hula.
The moonlight is deep, the environment is dark, except for the cool mountain breeze that blows from time to time, the whole Yin Mountain falls into dead silence.
Da, da, da.
In this way, the two of them walked cautiously with the goal of a distant building, during which neither of them spoke, and as they did not make any noise as much as possible in the process of advancing, so as not to attract the lonely spirits in the vicinity and cause unnecessary danger, they followed the same step and were cautious.
The distance, getting closer, the clearer the outline.
Since the building appears directly in the field of vision, sure enough, with the actual goal, soon, the two of them passed through the central grove and then came to a wide wasteland, the wasteland is large and wide, the surrounding vegetation is scarce, it is a relatively rare flat area in the mountains, and it is precisely because of the wide space that the view here is no longer blocked, although it is not suddenly open, but with the help of the moonlight, you can still further see the shape of the building in front of you, the shape is indeed a temple, if nothing else, it should be the temple of the judge, the temple is located in the front of the wasteland.
Under the big tree, after observing the situation in the distance, the two glanced at each other and nodded at the same time, but ...... When Chen Xiaoyao turned his head back and continued to stare at the building, behind him, the same moment when Zhao Ping retracted his gaze, the corner of his eye swept to something, something, something that was only slightly outlined because the environment was too dark.
Yes, just now, the man with glasses accidentally discovered something, and saw that there was a semicircular mound about 100 meters away in front of him, the mound was located in the middle of the wasteland, not far from the opposite Judge Temple, simply speaking, it can be understood that the position of the mound-like thing was just in the middle of the Executor and the Judge Temple.
As mentioned above, the mound in front of him was difficult to notice due to the lack of clear vision at night, and even Zhao Ping only accidentally noticed a trace of silhouette when observing the Judge Temple.
Well?
Suspicion instantly rose, thoughts fluctuated frequently, and after discovering the mound alone, the man with glasses couldn't help but be confused, so that he could not help but be confused while observing the mound for the first time, and his brain was running to analyze, and quickly guessing, until an inexplicable sense of crisis loomed into his heart, until the whole person was shrouded in a sense of crisis.
During the entire thought process, the man didn't say a word, only his eyes occasionally glanced at the back of someone's head.
Putting aside the state of the man behind him for the time being, his eyes widened, he stared for a long time, and he walked through the woods to get closer to the target, and after thoroughly confirming that the front was a real temple, Chen Xiaoyao showed a satisfied smile, showed a victory smile, and then turned around and laughed with a stroke of hair: "Haha, sure enough, there is really a judge temple in front, why are you still stunned?" Senior Zhao, let's go! ”
Yes, due to the observation of the temple for a long time, and there is no strong mantis in the Yin Mountain, there is no doubt that there is no hallucination, and no illusion means that what you see is true, since what you see is true, then the authenticity of the judge temple is self-evident, so, after thinking about all this, the young man did not hesitate, and immediately urged Zhao Ping, asking the two to hurry over, after all, the only soul flag that can save He Fei is in the judge temple!
If you don't leave now, when will you stay?
However......
"Whew."
Listening to Chen Xiaoyao's urging beside him, suddenly, Zhao Ping on his side showed pain on his face when the next second came, his body trembled, and he suddenly knelt on the ground, raised his hand to hold his head and moaned in pain, not only that, in addition to the body trembling and moaning, the man's entire face also turned pale after a few seconds, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead one after another.
Seeing that the man with glasses instantly became like this, Chen Xiaoyao, who was frequently urging on the side, was taken aback on the spot, instinctively froze, and hurriedly squatted close and asked anxiously: "This, what's going on?" Senior Zhao, what's wrong with you? ”
"Whew, whew, no...... I don't know, I suddenly feel dizzy, and my body can't exert my strength. ”.
Hearing Zhao Ping's painful answer, Chen Xiaoyao frowned, and then fell into silence, seeing that the other party's state should not be like being attacked by a stinger, as a Taoist priest, he also knew very well that low-level mantis did not have the ability to attack mentally, but its appearance was more like a sudden illness, but, sudden disease? What kind of sudden illness will Zhao Ping have? Or is it possible that a normally healthy performer will be sick?
What's going on?
Thinking of this, with suspicion, Chen Xiaoyao stared at Zhao Ping with his eyes slightly, looked directly at the man's face, observed for a while, and found that the pale and sweaty appearance of the man with glasses did not look like a fake.
"Whew, whew, woo......"
At this moment, listening to Zhao Ping moaning from time to time, watching the man tremble one after another, coupled with the other party kneeling and prostrating, silent for a long time, Chen Xiaoyao touched his nose and then asked in a tentative tone: "Senior Zhao, are you sick?" ”
"It's hard to say, whew, anyway, this will be dizzy and weak, and I don't know what's wrong with me......"
After speaking, without waiting for the young man to answer, Zhao Ping struggled to raise his head and turned his miserable white face to Chen Xiaoyao and continued: "I'm sorry, I can't go over with you, huh, huh, but it doesn't matter, anyway, the temple is close at hand, you don't have to worry about me, hurry, hurry, hurry up and go in and take out the spirit flag, and then let's go down the mountain together." ”
Chen Xiaoyao did not immediately respond to Zhao Ping's urging, but changed the topic in a rather regretful tone after a few seconds of silence: "Eh, can't you go?" The two of us said before, after entering the Judge Temple, in addition to the soul flag, there are other good things in it, and my predecessor Zhao is half of it, if you don't go...... Hey? Zhao senior? Senior Zhao, what's wrong with you? ”.
Before he finished speaking, he looked up, but saw that Zhao Ping, who was barely struggling under the big tree, was now completely unresponsive, just sitting on the ground with his head down, just leaning his back against the trunk of the tree silently.
Zhao Ping's reaction made Xiaoyao's heart startled again, seeing that the call was fruitless, he hesitated in three, the young man moved, walked closer and put his hand on Zhao Ping's wrist and then called for his pulse.
As the saying goes, there are nine doctors in ten monks, and there are almost no Taoist priests who often do not know medical skills, and it can even be said that Chinese medicine is inextricably linked with Taoism, in addition to a large number of fake Taoists who will only pretend to be in reality, but there are few people who do not understand Chinese medicine, saying that this is the case, and this is actually the case, as a Zheng'er Bajing Maoshan Fangshi, Chen Xiaoyao also practiced Chinese medicine under the guidance of the master during his studies, although the master died halfway, but the basic knowledge has been mastered, and it is not a big problem to diagnose diseases or something. For example, when He Fei was in a coma earlier, he had explored his pulse, which can also be understood as Chen Xiaoyao's best way to see a doctor.
Obviously, just now he had made up his mind in his heart, since he couldn't tell whether the man with glasses was really sick or fake, then he would simply use the method of the pulse to probe, after all, whether a person is sick or not is often easy to distinguish through the pulse, if Zhao Ping is not pretending to be sick but really sick, then his pulse will definitely be different from the normal pulse, and this is the best way for him to distinguish whether the man with glasses is pretending to be sick.
It's just that......
His fingers touched the man's pulse, and the next second, Chen Xiaoyao was stunned, his expression was shocked, and his expression changed from suspicion earlier to shock!
The reason is that through the pulse, he clearly felt that Zhao Ping's pulse was chaotic, beating both disordered and irregular, according to the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, this is not the pulse that a healthy person should have at all!
It seems that this man with glasses should not be pretending to be sick, even so, okay.
got up silently, turned around and left, and before leaving, he said a sentence to Zhao Ping, who didn't know if he had fallen into a coma: "Senior Zhao, you hold on here first, I'll go get the spirit flag, and when I come back, I'll carry you down the mountain and rush to the hospital!" ”
After that, Chen Xiaoyao didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately left the other party and turned around according to the glasses man's earlier request, and hurriedly rushed towards the judge's temple with his legs, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night ahead.
The clock ticked by, and there was silence all around, at least at the edge of the woods near the temple.
Until......
Half a minute later, that is, when Chen Xiaoyao's figure completely disappeared into the night in front of him, under the big tree, a 'miracle' happened, somehow, Zhao Ping, who was originally pale and fell into a coma, suddenly opened his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, his body jumped up neatly, and then looked up to observe the front.
Looking at Zhao Ping at this time, how could he still look sick? Now the health is extremely complex, and after a while, Xu is completely sure that the other party will not return, and then, the man with glasses moved, and made a small movement.
Reach for your armpit with your left hand and take out a pebble.
Smack.
As the stones fell to the ground, and with the soft sound reaching the eardrums, I saw the man with glasses smile at some point, staring at the night with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer.
………
Somewhere in Yin Mountain.
"Whew, whew, whew!"
Tired into a dead dog, weak into a weak chicken, under the torture of this uncomfortable state, Yao Fujiang unexpectedly did not choose to rest, but kept moving all the time, kept moving, with the waning moon above his head while identifying the direction while walking hard, he didn't know how long he walked, only knew that the sky was dark, and the time entered the night.
I looked down at my watch and found that the time had now come to 18:09 at night, seeing this, Yao Fujiang became more and more anxious, and the main reason for his anxiety came from fear, yes, it was dark, and the entire Yin Mountain was completely wrapped in night, which also meant that from this moment on, the situation would be more dangerous than during the day, although I was not sure that the mountain mantis would be more active at night than during the day, but the nature of human beings who were naturally afraid of the dark still caused him to be weak and bumpy, and his heart was hairy.
In addition, there is another point worth mentioning, that is, in any case, he has walked for nearly a day, yes, he has walked over the mountains and mountains for so long, but he has never reached the end, he has never found the target, and the judge temple is nowhere to be seen, not to mention that even the two teammates who have been scattered for a long time have not encountered.
What's going on?
What the hell is going on here?
(Even if the communicator is disturbed by the supernatural power of Yinshan and becomes unusable, even if the long-range communication is lost, why is it that there is still nothing to be found after walking for so long?) Is Yin Mountain too large? Could it be ...... Could it be that the two of them have already gone back? After searching for no results, you choose to give up and go straight down the mountain? )
(Impossible!) )
After pondering carefully and shaking his head, Yao Fujiang quickly denied the pessimistic head that emerged inexplicably, impossible, indeed unlikely, after all, they have been searching in the mountains for so long, and returning the same way is undoubtedly an extremely frustrating and even unwilling to be indignant, plus recalling Chen Xiaoyao's determined appearance before going up the mountain, no matter how you look at it, the young Taoist priest will not give up easily no matter what, and the other party is also looking for it as hard as he is, as for the glasses man surnamed Zhao......
It's not easy to say.
………
Is the guess correct?
The answer is yes, it is indeed as Yao Fujiang guessed, throwing out the glasses man who has always been selfish and afraid of death, Chen Xiaoyao really did not give up halfway, not only did he not give up halfway, at this moment he can even say that he is only one step away from victory, success is close at hand, and there are only a few hundred meters left.
The screen shifts to 200 meters in front of the Judges' Temple.
Don't look anxious when leaving, but since Zhao Ping, who left his serious illness half a minute ago, and then entered the wasteland from the edge of the woods, the young man has changed, changed his walking state, has become breathless, has become cautious, and his speed has begun to slow down, and he has been careful to look left and right with every step.
There is only one reason, that is, I don't want to get rid of it, I don't want to capsize, I spent a lot of effort to pass all the way, but I overturned in the last gutter of the upcoming victory, so no one would be happy with the result.
Chen Xiaoyao understands this truth, so the more this kind of last moment of imminent victory, the more cautious and extremely cautious.
Da, da, da.
At present, he kept observing the surroundings while pacing towards the judge's temple, his eyes scanning the wilderness, he didn't dare to be careless, he didn't dare to relax, in the final analysis, he was more or less affected by Zhao Ping's unprovoked illness before he came.
Yes, Chen Xiaoyao is not an ordinary person, young people also have their own set of logical criteria, if Zhao Ping can accompany him, then at least at this moment he will not be cautious like this, with his understanding of men, although at first he did suspect that Zhao Ping was pretending to be sick, and chose to pretend to be sick for some unknown reason, until he crossed the pulse, he had to believe that the other party was indeed sick, and he suffered from an emergency for no reason, and collapsed to the ground for no reason, but it was also because the contrast between the actual result and the speculation was too large, On the contrary, it made him feel more and more uneasy in his heart, and a sense of unknown uneasiness faintly emerged.
Putting aside the unfounded uneasiness for the time being, as the movement continued one after another, Chen Xiaoyao unconsciously also traveled about 100 meters away, during which nothing happened, seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked forward, looked at the opposite building, and sure enough, because the distance was shortened again, under the moonlight, the shape of the temple became more and more clear and obvious.
(Huh, it seems that I am too careful, there is no abnormality, there is no danger, for now, I just need to enter the temple as soon as possible to get something.) )
After the observation ended, he took a long breath in his heart, and then Chen Xiaoyao did not hesitate, and unconsciously moved a little faster, but, strangely......
He had only accelerated forward, not taking a few steps, or a few seconds later, he had stopped abruptly.
The sudden sighting of something in front of him caused him to stop in his tracks.
As mentioned above, because his attention was always focused on the Judge's Temple in front of him before entering the wasteland, and because he had not observed anything else, it was not until this moment, until the distance of stepping into the wasteland was approaching, that the young man noticed something in front of him, something protruding from the ground, a semicircular mound that was not easily noticeable because it happened to be shrouded in the shadow of the Judge's Temple.
An inconspicuous mound.
Yes, as the distance gradually approached, it was only at this time that Chen Xiaoyao found that there was a steamed bun-shaped mound standing in front of the Judge Temple.
"Huh?"
When he found this thing, he let out a sigh, first instinctively stopped, and then prompted by curiosity, he looked at it and began to observe.
With the help of the moonlight overhead, coupled with the close distance, through observation, the location of the mound is just about 50 meters in front of the judge's temple, of course, the distance is not the point, the point is that he is very curious, this mound, the convex surface on the opposite side of the 'steamed bun' is what it is?.
Under the doubts in his heart, Chen Xiaoyao couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to get closer to browse and observe, after all, it was a dense night at the moment, and it was difficult to see the true appearance of the mound from a distance.
(or not...... Grab a flashlight? ).
After hesitating, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that he still carried a flashlight, a cat's eye flashlight with excellent light concentration, it is said that that thing is the same as the small communicator is the same as the standard configuration of the executor, and it is a supernatural task must bring equipment, and these things are all top technology products produced by the curse, every team member will have these two things, but he has not used them once since the flashlight was manufactured, sure enough, thinking of the standard item of the cat's eye flashlight, Chen Xiaoyao was a little moved, Although it is not denied that there is a certain risk in using a flashlight in this Yin Mountain, which is full of crises, but after some thought, in the end, Chen Xiaoyao still thinks that it should not be a big problem to use it near the judge's temple, and the reason is very easy to explain, according to folklore, the judge of Yin Si is the senior administrator of the underworld, and every soul who goes to Yin Si to report all his sins during his life will be judged and decided by the judge, whether to go to hell, whether to ascend to heaven and whether to reincarnate, etc., all depend on the judge's words, it is conceivable that with this deterrent, Ordinary lonely soul wild scorpion must be afraid of the judge of the underworld, drawing inferences from one another, since there will be no mantis near the judge's temple, then why not use a flashlight? What's more, it's just like that.
Driven by curiosity, he did it when he thought of it, and reached out to take out the cat's eye flashlight.
Smack.
With a light sound, as the switch was pressed, in an instant, a bright pillar of light shot straight ahead, shining straight towards the steamed mound 100 meters away.
Under the illumination of the pillar of light, the original appearance of the mound is completely displayed in the field of vision:
A tomb, a dilapidated ancient tomb in disrepair.
The square stone tombstone erected in front of the mound is the best proof of this.
"Hoo ......"
As expected, although the distance is still very far, although the distance is far away and the tombstone text can not be seen clearly, but after confirming that the opposite side is just a mediocre barren mountain and wild tomb, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be just a tomb, maybe ordinary people will be afraid of the barren mountain and wild grave, but as a Maoshan Taoist priest who deals with the mantis all day long, he Chen Daochang has long been accustomed to these things, just like ordinary people don't care about roadside flower beds.
According to his understanding of history, after tens of thousands of Fengdu people were slaughtered in the mountains, the corpses of the people were not collected, and almost all of them were in the wilderness, so in his opinion, there should be no graves in this mountain anyway, but the strange thing is that there will be an ancient tomb here? Obviously, because no one dared to come to Yinshan for hundreds of years, the ancient tomb must have been built by the builders of the year, and if this is the case, then questions arise, such as who is the owner of this tomb? Why are there graves? Even the inhumane and animal creatures are willing to build a grave for them? And also deliberately built the tomb so close to the temple of the judges?.
(This...... )
The more Chen Xiaoyao thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and the more he pondered, the more puzzled he became, and the doubts aroused his greater interest, so he planned to take a closer look, look at the stone tablet, and see who the owner of the tomb was, after all, it was just a deserted tomb.
Next, turn off the flashlight and stride towards the grave.
Before coming closer, after completely coming to the opposite side of this person's tall tomb, Chen Xiaoyao squatted down and looked at the tombstone for the first time, and looked directly at the words engraved on the tombstone.
As a result, I guessed correctly, the tombstone was indeed engraved with words, and as soon as I lowered my head, a vertical line of ancient writing appeared in my field of vision.
Then, Chen Xiaoyao froze.
was stunned, fell into solidification on the spot, fell into a stupor in an instant, and the whole person was stunned and motionless on the spot as if he had been immobilized.
Then, the heart beat violently, the forehead broke out in cold sweat, and the body trembled inexplicably.
It's scary, and it's clearly an instinctive cringe reaction to sudden excessive fear!
Why fear? Or is it what the stele says can make a Maoshan Taoist priest who has never been afraid of heaven and earth, not even afraid of a moth, scared like this?
I don't know, I don't know, the only thing I know is......
The camera shifted to the front along Chen Xiaoyao's field of vision, and then shifted to the opposite stele, and when he looked closely, he saw such a line of text engraved on the tombstone:
Ming, the tomb of Fengdu General Bingtian Fengyuan.
In the lower right corner of the tombstone is an additional small line of additional text:
Bloody battle to death, never surrendered, admired its bravery, hereby set up a grave.
The grave of a Ming Dynasty general.
It's not remarkable, it's still just a tomb.
It's strange here, why did Chen Xiaoyao be scared like this when he found out that there was a general's grave in front of him? Cause? The reason is very simple, the reason for the fear is not that Chen Xiaoyao knows this general soldier named Tian Fengyuan, nor is he afraid of the other party's power during his lifetime, but because of the tomb itself......
General's Grave!
This turned out to be a general's tomb!
