Chapter 296: An Ancient Barrier Broken
The further you go up the mountain, the more complicated the surrounding environment becomes, and the trees here are large and small, uneven in height, a bit like traces of ancient formations.
And he saw some very thick trees, which were as thick as five or six people, and they were very tall and very tall, and they were obviously different from the trees around them.
The stout ancient trees are carved with ancient incantations, which are vaguely invisible, but the branches are all made of colored silk strips, which are connected into strange shapes, and fall there in strings, forming a protective incantation enchantment......
"This is the ...... of the barrier left by our ancestors",
Humeng said to everyone as he walked:
"Ever since I was very young, my grandfather used to bring us boys here to play, and at that time I was very fond of digging the bark of these big trees with a knife, and my grandfather would beat my hands......
He told me that these big trees with incantations are sacred trees, and that each tree has a human head hidden in it, which our ancestors left to protect us.
It is said that a long, long time ago, there were many evil spirits in this mountain, they were very vicious, and often devoured us Mongolians, at that time our mountains were still some uncivilized mountain people, and there was nothing to be done about these spirits.
But the people of our Golden Family are very brave, they caught all those demons, and then cut off their heads and sealed them in these big trees.
Then our Mongolian mages tied a spell belt on the outside of the big tree, and from then on, these demons could only guard the mountain for us here! The deeper their resentment in the tree, the stronger their power becomes, and they can keep all the demons who try to sneak into the mountain out of the mountain~~~~"
"I said can you please stop talking so scary, we're not here to listen to ghost stories,......"
Fat Wei pulled the ghost knife and climbed up step by step, since he lost his sight, his nerves have become extremely fragile, "Can you kid not be so cautious, there are monsters sealed in the big tree, I don't know if I can't see it now?" Besides, I don't dare to go up......"
"Hey~~~~", this is nothing more than a legend from before",
Humeng smiled and said, "As for whether there are human heads in that big tree, no one knows. We haven't seen it either, I guess it's all made up~~~~
But you see these big trees are really not ordinary, such a thick tree, you don't often see it in the mountains......"
"That's true!!"
Chen Zhi nodded slightly, then stood and looked carefully at the yellow cloth ribbons!!
The position of those cloth bands is very regular, layer on top of each other, and the new cloth strips are stacked on top of the old cloth strips, on which are mantras written in red cinnabar, but the style is very rough, some ancient shamanic style ~~~
The arrangement of the incantations on each tree is different, but the position of the tree is criss-crossed, lined up, like the position of the stars, forming a tight encirclement that completely encloses the mountain......
Chen Zhi knew in his heart that this was a very ancient protective barrier, and its power was very strong, unimaginably powerful!!
The person who set up this ancient barrier can no longer be traced, but it is certain that with the protection of this powerful barrier, it is difficult for external forces to invade this mountain~~~
But for some unknown reason, this ancient barrier has cracked a gap, like an unbreakable castle has been opened with an entrance, and now the barrier is no longer valid......
Chen Zhi didn't say anything, just touched those thick tree trunks, and then turned around and continued to climb the mountain~~
Since Humeng knew the geographical location of this place very well, they climbed up very quickly along the way.
It's just that Fat Wei chirped along the way, complaining that he couldn't see with his eyes, and complaining that Chen Zhi had no conscience, and later said that he had leg cramps, and he had to carry him with a ghost......
After more than an hour, they finally arrived at the miners' village on the mountainside.
Although this is a village, it is actually a large mine base, and the location of the village is in the middle of the mountain road, which is the entrance to the mountain from outside......
The houses here are all simple houses, basically built of iron sheets, exactly the same as the simple houses seen in the mines now, but there are a lot of dried milk skins on the outside of the houses, and some even have some women's clothes hanging on them. It can be seen that many families used to live here......
After Humeng led everyone into the village, he shouted a few loudly......
A couple of grizzled old miners came out!! Most of them were older, their legs and feet were not very neat, and they all had frightened expressions on their faces, and they were very happy when they saw Humeng coming, and they took Humeng's hand with tears in their eyes, and told them their suffering.
They told Humeng that in just a few days, there was basically no one in the village, and that they stayed here because they had nowhere to go, but every night they were terrified and miserable......
Humeng comforted them on behalf of the Golden Family, and then took Chen Zhi and them into the house where the original mine owner lived, that is, the place where Fu Yuanyuan's husband once lived.
It was a small building made of wood and concrete, which was noticeably much larger and brighter than the houses where the miners lived, and most of it was equipped with modern facilities, televisions; Lamp; The refrigerator is fully equipped!!
After Humeng pushed open the door of the house, there was a foul smell inside, as if the food was fermented, and it seemed that after the mine owner died here, no one had ever entered this room again~~~
"This is where my dead uncle lived......",
After Humeng entered, he wanted to turn on the lights in the house, but the electricity here seemed to have stopped, and Humeng had no choice but to turn on the flashlight and lead everyone inside.
The layout of the house is not complicated, and after passing through the kitchen, there is the master bedroom, which also has a bath.
"My uncle died in this bath at the time......",
After Humeng finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the bath, and then shone it left and right with a flashlight.
I saw that in the bathroom, there were traces of water flow everywhere, and there were obvious cinder residues on the ground, and the bath was dirty everywhere~~
"It's really weird......",
Humeng turned his head and said to everyone:
"When they found out about my uncle. He found that his body was covered in cinders, and it felt as if he had been buried in a thick cinder.
Later, I heard from the autopsy that his lungs and stomach were full of cinders, which was incredible......"
"Does your uncle live here alone?" ,
Chen Zhi knelt down, picked up the cinders on the ground with his hand, and asked Humeng.
"No!!" ,
Humeng shook his head: "My uncle lived here with his wife at the time, and it was the Chinese woman you saw. ”
Humeng smiled again when he said this,
"Of course, my uncle was a hearty man, and when he was here, he brought in new women almost every day.
But it's impossible for these women to kill my uncle, because my uncle is very powerful, and even at this age, he can wrestle with me~~~"
After Humeng finished speaking, he pointed to the cinders on the ground,
"I always felt that there must be something hidden in this Kent Hill mine, and they crawled out of the ground and killed my uncle......"
