Chapter 43: Exploring the Ghost Town Alone
“……”
The white flags flutter, and the tombs stretch.
These eight words can well describe the scene in front of Huang Chong's eyes.
Along the mountain road, entering Xiaolianzi Mountain, and after climbing a small high ground, I saw hundreds of tombs, the number of tombs was too many, but the number Huang Chong did not count, but there were at least three hundred, and maybe even more than four hundred.
Although the sun is shining today, but a gust of mountain wind blows, it is still chilling, look at these graves, it is not old, at most it is a year or two, which means that in a year or two, hundreds of graves have been added here.
What is this concept?
These graves should be buried in the people of nearby towns and villages, three or four hundred people, which means that almost three nearby villages have died.
Even the most ferocious plague may not be able to achieve this effect.
Man-made disasters are worse than natural disasters!
Most of the details of the Youzhou case have been forgotten by Huang Chong, but Huang Chong still remembers that this incident is related to the ghost town.
Walking through the mass grave, Huang Chong came to Xiaolianzi Mountain Village and learned the specific location and general situation of the ghost town from a hunter.
The location of the ghost town was originally a mass grave, but after the Turks were repelled two years ago, the mass grave suddenly became a small town, and various houses and buildings appeared in the town.
At first, the nearby villagers did not dare to approach, they were worried that this was a Turkic building, so they reported to the government, and the government did not know whether there was any action, anyway, in the end, the answer given by the government was - an ordinary town, which has nothing to do with the Turks.
The nearby villagers naturally did not believe this statement, because they did not see the government people to investigate, and soon the villagers found that the town was very strange, during the day, the town was empty, quiet, but at night, especially in the second half of the night, it would become very lively and full of people.
The nearby villagers couldn't hold back their strong curiosity, and entered the town in twos and threes, but the people who went in never came out again, and the name of "ghost town" began at this time, and then there were too many people who disappeared, and the government didn't care about anything, so some bold young people in several nearby villages gathered together and went to this town with weapons to find out.
I went to several times in a row, but no one has come back so far, and the name of "Ghost Town" has spread like this, and even the people in Youzhou City know the existence of Ghost Town, and the tombs that Huang Chong saw before were set up by nearby villagers for these disappeared people.
Later, the government posted a notice saying: Because of ghosts and monsters, for the safety of everyone's lives, Xiaolianzi Mountain was closed.
Soon after the closure of Xiaolianzi Mountain, other mountains in Youzhou also began to be closed, and people were not allowed to go up the mountain to hunt and cut wood.
"It seems that this ghost town is really at the heart of everything." After asking about the situation in the ghost town, Huang Chong was more sure of his analysis.
"Sir, are you going to a ghost town? Never. Lu Dayou persuaded, Lu Dayou is the hunter Huang Chong asked, and now there are only about 60 people left in the entire Xiaolianzi Mountain Village, and more than ninety percent are women, the elderly and children.
"I understand Brother Tai's kindness, but I have to go to the ghost town, this Brother Tai, if I fail to return, if an old man surnamed Di comes here, please ask Brother Tai to inform him of this matter, you can say that my surname is Huang." As he spoke, Huang Chong put a piece of silver on the table.
"This ......"
"Alright, thank you for your hospitality, and I'll leave here." Huang Chong didn't give him a chance to refuse, and got up to leave after speaking.
……
Ghost Town.
"It's quiet." Walking on the street, looking at the empty town, Huang Chong said to himself.
The buildings here are very exquisite, and the layout is also extremely regular, and it is impossible for ordinary towns to be laid out to this extent.
"It seems that this ghost town has a close relationship with the snake spirit." Huang Chong said after walking around.
The reason for this conclusion is that the layout of the town, each house does not seem to be special, but once you look at them as a whole, you will find that the layout of the town is secretly in line with the three talents.
The "patent" of this arrangement technique belongs to Yuan Tiangang.
Of course, the meaning of this sentence is not that the ghost town was built by Yuan Tiangang, this is obviously impossible, it should be the plan made by the snake spirit people after learning Yuan Tiangang's skills.
When Huang Chong was escaping, he took two books from Lu Yan's study, one of which was to talk about the art of the formation mechanism, Huang Chong has been studying for more than ten years, and he has also gained a lot in this regard.
"I thought I would have to wait until the evening to find out the mechanism, but now it seems that it is not needed."
Huang Chong knew that there was a mechanism in the ghost town before, and his idea was to wait until the evening, after the people in the town appeared, he followed this person to find the secret passage of this ghost town, and found out, during the day, just to see the situation in the town, and he couldn't act rashly, Huang Chongke still remembered that when he exterminated the snake spirit's lair, the town was terrible.
Now that the layout and formation of this town are clear, the plan can be changed, Huang Chong walked straight to a shop with "medicine" hanging outside, pushed open the door and walked in, this pharmacy is located on the "heaven" phase of the Sancai Array, which is the core of the link to the dark passage, and it is also the safest place.
The reason why it is placed in the "heaven" phase instead of the "earth" phase is Yuan Tiangang's initiative, simply put, people who are familiar with the formation will think that the "earth" phase links the dark path, but Yuan Tiangang went the opposite way, turning the "earth" phase into a huge mechanism, so that the intruder has no return, and at the same time turned the Sancai array into an anti-Sancai array.
"It seems that after losing Yuan Tiangang, the snake spirit not only did not make much progress, but also regressed." After looking at the layout of the house, Huang Chong mocked.
The person who laid out this ghost town, don't say that he is blue, he may not have learned Yuan Tiangang's skills, it is too rough.
Syllable......
Huang Chong flicked a few beads from an abacus on the counter of the pharmacy, and the medicine shelf automatically opened, revealing a wide but dark passage.
After looking left and right, Huang Chong walked into the passage, and then the medicine shelf automatically closed.
……
"You, this is not the capital, you are not the general of Qianniuwei, you are the son of Langzhong, what kind of eyes do you stare at, what kind of power you make, and you have lost a few taels of silver to me."
"My lord, General Tiger is much more majestic than you."
"Shh
“……”
In a tea house in the north of Youzhou City, Di Renjie, who was privately interviewed by Weifu, talked quietly with Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang, and under the eaves of the tea house, he slowly pushed up the broken straw hat he was wearing, and looked at Di Renjie quietly, revealing a look of surprise.
