Chapter 22: The Evil Story
Three days later, on the edge of a prosperous port in the northeast, there were many fishing boats coming and going, including some large merchant ships, but there were also many thieves and refugees mixed in.
On the second floor of a tavern not far away, there were two people sitting, it was Zhong Wenbin and Hu Er, the two of them had been tired for three days, it can be said that they had suffered a lot, evaded pursuit, and Hu Er even lost a whole circle.
"Wen Bin, Lao Tzu has to make up for your crimes, right?" Hu Er took a sip of wine, his face full of grievances.
"I said fat, you eat the most along the way, what else do you compensate." Zhong Wenbin glanced blankly.
The two of them were sitting on the second floor of the tavern at this time, observing the surroundings, along the way, Zhong Wenbin was also very big, and Ma Shanling's reward of a thousand oceans was too exciting, and people everywhere inquired about his whereabouts.
In the end, Hu Eryi was ruthless, instead of being passive everywhere, it was better to take the initiative to find the source of the release of Ma Shanling, to put it bluntly, to settle accounts.
So coming to this port this time is also Hu Er's request, Zhong Wenbin looked around, puzzled: "Where does Heiling Mansion really know?" ”
Hu Er patted his chest: "Lao Tzu is a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, absolutely reliable." ”
It is said that it was the Qing Dynasty that founded the Black Ridge Mansion and the internal guards of the Qing Dynasty, just because after the Qing Dynasty disappeared, they found another way out and established such an institution.
To put it bluntly, there is no doubt about the martial arts of the Ouchi guards, who can enter the royal family, which one is not a first-class master, Zhong Wenbin heard that it was the Ouchi guard, and he didn't plan to find the door, but it was too painful to be hunted down, so he was ruthlessly pursued.
The two ate and drank enough in the restaurant, and then when they arrived at the edge of the port, Hu Er found a boat boss, named Lao Hei, who had been together before, and often did some unsightly things together.
Lao Hei has decades of experience on the ship, and he is also a knowledgeable old man, when Hu Eryi heard that he was going to Heiling Mansion, Lao Hei didn't say a word, and immediately let Zhong Wenbin and the others get on the boat.
Along the way, Hu Er told Lao Hei about what had happened recently, but in fact, there was nothing to hide, after all, it had already spread.
Lao Hei drove a sailboat and left the port with Zhong Wenbin and the others, and he was a little curious along the way: "Second stunned, Heiling Mansion is an evil place, do you really want to ask for an explanation?" ”
Hu Er said helplessly: "Otherwise, I just asked for an explanation in the past, why did I include me in the Ma Shan Order, don't talk about it, the key is only ten oceans, Lao Tzu is also a figure with a head and a face, I can't swallow this breath." ”
When Zhong Wenbin heard this, he immediately laughed, and along the way, he listened to this kid's nagging.
Lao Hei was also helpless: "I'll remind you first, I will only send it to the underworld, and the rest depends on you." ”
When Hu Er heard this, he was startled: "Lao Hei, don't fool me, it's a dead end to go into that place." ”
Lao Hei sighed and said, "It's not that I won't take you in, but the waterway has been blocked recently, so you two can only go in from there." ”
It turned out that there were two ways to enter Heiling Mansion, one was by water and the other was by land, but I don't know what the reason is recently, the waterway is not passable, as for why Hu Er is so nervous, Zhong Wenbin only knew when he asked that the Yin Gate is a place of evil doors.
It is rumored that when the Black Ridge Mansion was founded, it was opposed by the nearby villagers, so it was slaughtered, and almost all the people in a village died, and then, the village was slowly corroded, and it was wrapped in miasma all the year round, and it was said that someone saw the Yin soldiers appearing inside.
The more this matter spread, the more evil it became, and in the end, there was a strange whistling wind sound in the village from time to time, some people said that it was the wind from the underworld, and it was another way to enter the Black Ridge Mansion, so it was called the Yin Gate.
Hearing this, Zhong Wenbin also understood, frowned and said, "It seems that it is a little troublesome." ”
Hu Er said aggrievedly: "Why don't we go, it matters to save people first?" ”
Zhong Wenbin laughed angrily: "Fatty, this thing is what you asked for, it's difficult to go." ”
It's all at this juncture, how could Zhong Wenbin just leave, he was more curious in his heart, and he also wanted to see what this so-called Black Ridge Mansion was like.
Lao Hei didn't say much, drove the boat, drove for about half a day, and finally reached the depths of a mountain range, on both sides of which were steep cliffs, blocking the sun, and as soon as the boat approached, a cold wind blew in.
Zhong Wenbin got up and looked at the peaks on both sides, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was not dark, but there was endless yin wind all around.
Seeing this, Lao Hei reminded: "You two get ready, it's almost there." ”
Seeing this, Zhong Wenbin and Hu Er hurriedly cheered up, got up and stared ahead, and about ten minutes later, the sailboat bypassed a bend, and a miasma finally appeared in front of them.
Originally, when Zhong Wenbin heard Lao Hei mention this village, he didn't think it was terrible, but when he saw it now, he was immediately shocked.
The miasma in front of us was so bad that the waterway was cut off, and the only thing visible was a village on the side, but it was very silent, and there was not even a single bird call.
Zhong Wenbin's heart tightened, and after Lao Hei docked the boat, he looked nervously at the depths of the village, and said tremblingly: "You guys go in." ”
Hu Er was also frightened, turned around and said helplessly: "Brother Hei, you are waiting for us here at nine o'clock tonight." ”
Lao Hei's expression was a little hesitant, but he still nodded, Zhong Wenbin also understood what he was worried about, but there was no way back now, so he gritted his teeth and jumped off the boat.
may be an intuition, Zhong Wenbin always feels that as soon as he comes, there is a pair of eyes watching, which makes people hairy, and the dead silence of the village is terrifying.
After Hu Er came down, he shuddered: "We just need to pass through this village, remember, don't be curious." ”
Zhong Wenbin understood, this kid just asked him not to run around, and he didn't ask much, and the two walked towards the village, although the miasma was thick, it was estimated that it should not be night yet, so they could see clearly.
In the village, the dilapidated old houses are staggered, and there are about 100 families, but more than half of them have collapsed. Hu Erda came in from the beginning, and the whole person was like a mouse, walking and stopping, and his eyes were in a trance.
Zhong Wenbin didn't bother to pay attention, the two walked to the entrance of the village, where there was a memorial archway, and there were twelve big characters written on the left and right sides, namely: mountain on the mountain, water in the water, black wind, demon mountain.
The twelve big characters are vigorous and powerful, Zhong Wenbin was confused, and he didn't understand what they meant.
Hu Er smiled: "This is deliberately to scare outsiders, don't pay attention to it." ”
Having said that, Zhong Wenbin couldn't help but feel a little scared, and the two entered the village, originally thinking that they would pass through the village and then go up the mountain road.
But just as the two of them entered the village for a while, suddenly, a terrible scream sounded in the village, as if they were still children, which frightened Zhong Wenbin's fur cold, and then saw a pair of eyes peeking through an old house.
Isn't there no one here, Zhong Wenbin and Hu Er looked at each other, they were nervous, and when they came, they specially bought two knives to defend themselves, and they took them out at this time.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!" Hu Er clutched the knife tightly, and then walked towards the old house.
Zhong Wenbin was also scared, and also followed, and after the two approached the door of the old house, they took a deep breath and pushed gently.
In the gloomy house, the furniture was covered with dust, and Zhong Wenbin saw at a glance that there was a person in the corner, a little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, huddled in the corner and shivering.
The little girl's face was dirty, staring at a pair of frightened eyes, seeing this scene, Zhong Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief, this is a living person, so he boldly walked to him.
"Little girl, why are you here alone?" Zhong Wenbin asked.
The little girl raised her head nervously, her messy long hair covered her face, and her eyes were full of panic.
"Big brother, can you take me out, I'm afraid." When the little girl finished speaking, she began to cry.
Zhong Wenbin was quite helpless, the little girl should have inadvertently run to this place, so she hid here alone, so she discussed with Hu Eryi, and the two had nothing to say, so let's rescue people first.
So Zhong Wenbin pulled the little girl up, and it was strange to say that the little girl's whole body was quite cold, but he didn't care.
When I went out and continued to walk about a hundred meters inside, a voice suddenly came from the darkness.
