Chapter 269: The Sacrificial Month of the Valley of the Tombs

"This ...... That's right, Zai Xia has indeed sent more than a dozen groups of people in and out of the city gate of Yuqin Village, entering the plague outbreak area, or entering Yuqin Village from the plague outbreak area. The guard was stunned for a moment, but replied respectfully.

The reason why he was stunned for a moment was because he did not expect that the veiled girl would first care about the people who had already entered and exited the city gates with his help, rather than asking him how he could get them out of the city safely while the guards were guarding them.

And Yanyu was concerned about this aspect of the matter for the first time, because he was worried that the people infected with the plague would leave Yuqin Village with the Soul Eater Poisonous Ant in his body and go to other towns and villages, or the Imperial City.

"What? A dozen batches of people? So how many of these dozen or so people entered Yuqin Village from the plague outbreak area? Do you remember what they looked like, and where they ended up, say it! Yanyu asked impatiently.

For Yanyu, she is not worried about the people who enter the plague outbreak area from Yuqin Village, because as long as it rains containing the Soul Eater Poison Ant Killing Drug from midnight tonight, as long as the people who have not died completely will still have hope of life.

However, those who entered Yuqin Village from the plague outbreak area and left Yuqin Village were what she was most worried about, and if she wanted to chase these people back as soon as possible, she had to immediately know what these people looked like, how they dressed, and where they went after passing through Yuqin Village.

Otherwise, there will be many dreams at night, and it will be difficult to catch up when those people go too far, or change their minds halfway through and go to other towns and villages.

In that case, the plague will inevitably spread, and the consequences will be unimaginable, which is why Yanyu asked so eagerly.

"This ...... I don't remember it very well below. It's just that this girl, with all due respect, should not know the girl if these dozen or so groups of people who have been in and out of Yuqin Village don't know each other, right? I wonder why the girl cares about their whereabouts? The guard hesitated, but told the truth.

After finishing speaking, he stared at Yanyu with a complicated face, obviously feeling that something was wrong.

"Oh, that's right, we were going to go out of the city to pick up people, but we came a little late. I'm worried that the other party can't wait, and I happen to meet you, and if we have already entered Yuqin Village, we will not only run in vain when we go out of the city again, but also miss them. That's why I'm so nervous. However, as far as I know, they are probably penniless, and they will not be able to afford to pay for you to bring them into the city, so I guess I was overly worried. It's okay, next, you'd better take us out of town right away, right? When Yanyu saw that the guard was a little suspicious, he also knew that he was a little out of shape, and quickly explained.

Because Yanyu knew that he couldn't arouse the suspicion of the other party at this moment, otherwise the other party would be troublesome out of caution and unwilling to say where the secret passage was.

Yanyu's plan is to wait until the other party successfully takes him out of Yuqin Village through that secret passage, and then take him down and bring him back to Yuqin Village for strict interrogation, so that he can truthfully confess who he brought into Yuqin Village from the plague outbreak area, and then send the Royal Forest Army to chase him, it should be too late.

"I see, the girl can rest assured. Although I brought more than a dozen groups of people in and out of the city gate of Yuqin Village in the next two days, most of them entered the plague outbreak area from Yuqin Village, and there was only one orchestra, because a rich businessman from Yuqin Village came forward to me and paid the fee I asked for on the spot, so I sent someone to make an exception to bring it into Yuqin Village from the plague outbreak area, so it must not be the person the girl was looking for. Since the girl is in a hurry to pick up someone, why don't we talk while walking? The guard suddenly realized, and his originally cautious expression was gone, obviously completely believing what Yanyu said.

"It's an orchestra, it's definitely not the person I'm looking for, okay, then without further ado, we'll leave right now, please lead the way, right?" Yanyu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the guard say that only one orchestra came from the plague outbreak area.

Because Yanyu understands that if it is just an orchestra, it will be much more convenient to go back and chase down, after all, an orchestra is still very conspicuous on the road, unlike an ordinary person, once it blends into the crowd, it is difficult to identify.

"Good! The three girls, please come with me, after entering the Valley of the Tombs for a while, because there is no sunlight all year round, the road is slippery, and the light is dim, please pay more attention to your step. It's a pity that this tomb valley is too weird, and the torches outside will automatically go out when you bring it in, and you can only rely on the glowing stones inside to guide the way, although the vision is not very clear, but it is not impossible to walk. Well, I'll have a few of them explore the path ahead of time, and place more glowing stones in the path we're going to take, so you can see a little more clearly. The guard replied cheerfully, turning as he walked towards the Valley of the Tombs.

"Okay, we got it. Then there is labor. Yanyu nodded and said.

Then, under the leadership of the guard, Yanyu and the three of them also followed into the Valley of the Tombs.

The other guards, at the request of that guard, really took the lead in running to the depths of the Tomb Valley, apparently clearing the obstacles along the way in advance and placing the glowing stones, so that the three of them could reach the place they were going to smoothly.

As soon as I entered the Valley of the Tombs, the sunlight above my head disappeared in an instant, and was completely obscured by a large area of unknown trees.

Suddenly, the three of them felt that it was dim in front of them, a damp and unpleasant smell came to their faces, and there was even an indescribable rancid smell, which made people a little disgusted.

In view of the harsh environment around them, everyone had no intention of talking, so the group walked slowly forward in silence.

It's just that the three of them didn't notice it, not far behind them, there was always a faint female phantom following, at first it was not obvious in the sunlight, but after entering the dim and damp tomb valley at this moment, the phantom became much clearer.

It's just that the tomb valley is dim at this moment, and the road is extremely muddy and difficult to walk, so the three of them have to walk slowly and cautiously, and they have no intention of observing what is happening behind them.

In addition, the light was extremely dim, so although the phantom woman had become much clearer, it still did not attract the attention of Yanyu and them.

As for this phantom woman, it is naturally Xiangling who has been following her.

Xiangling couldn't help frowning when she entered this weird-looking tomb valley, it stands to reason that she is a dead undead herself, and she should like such a damp and dark place.

But I don't know why, Xiangling always feels panicked, as if something bad is about to happen.

But what it is, she can't say clearly, if she wasn't really worried about the safety of the goddess and the empress dowager, she wouldn't have come here for anything.

For this Tomb Valley, she has also heard of it for so many years since she died, that is, except for the month of sacrifice, no one dares to come alone every year. Even if someone unfortunately passes away and needs to be buried, then 49 people must go in and out together to ensure that their lives are worry-free.

Even one more person or one less person is not allowed.

It is said that there is only one month of the year, and the tomb valley is the time when the relative yin qi is the lightest, and it is also the period when the human body is the least harmful, so it is designated as the sacrificial month.

Usually for the sake of safety, the people of Yuqin Village will choose to enter the middle stage of the sacrificial month, and in the first or near the end of the few days, no one is willing to venture into the tomb valley.

Because a long time ago, there were people who did not believe in this evil, and came in alone, or three or five, or even a dozen people to explore, and as a result, all of them had an accident, and only one person came out alive to report to everyone, and every time the person who reported the news, he would tell everyone in a warning tone, that is, the gods were angry.

It is said that the gods asked him to tell everyone again, except for the sacrificial month, it is not recommended to enter the tomb valley at will, if there is really a reason to enter, then it is necessary to gather seven seven hundred and forty-nine people to accompany it, and one more person or less person is not allowed, otherwise the person who reports the news will be the end.

Every time the person who told the news said this, his whole body decayed and died at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the hardest bones in the body turn into a puddle of glowing liquid, which, after condensing into a ball, eventually turns into a stone that glows at night.

Even after this stone appeared in Yuqin Village, the sun in the sky would also disappear inexplicably.

Then, only when the villagers reverently gathered forty-nine people, carried the glowing stone into the depths of the burial valley and laid it down, and after three more bows and nine bows, hurried away, the sun could return to normal again.

So since then, no one has dared to violate this taboo.

And that guard dared to take people privately in the past few days to enter and exit Yuqin Village through the Tomb Valley, it was because this period of time happened to be in the last few days of the end of the sacrificial month, and there were no more people who dared to come to the sacrifice, so he took the opportunity to earn some money, if it wasn't for the sacrificial month, he wouldn't dare to do it even if he gave him more money.

The reason why Xiangling let her illusory body appear was that she knew that in such a dim environment, even if she showed her figure, she would not be seen clearly by others.

Second, she can only have the strongest attack ability when her body is fully revealed.

Just like when she saved Yuqin Ming in the first row of VIP seats, she also showed a pair of hands to save Jun Buyu, if her figure is completely invisible, she does not have any attack ability.

Therefore, in order to be more sure of protecting the goddess and the empress dowager, she showed her complete figure so riskily, quietly followed them in the smoke and rain, and chased them all the way.

Not long after Yanyu and the three of them followed the guards into the Tomb Valley, General Lin arrived with a man in black.

He was also surprised when he saw from a distance that the goddesses, empress dowagers, and the empress dowagers actually entered the tomb valley without hesitation.

Because when he was patrolling the city gate before, he also heard the village guards of Yuqin Village whispering about the legend of this terrifying tomb valley.

Therefore, he was also hesitant to enter this awesome tomb valley......
