Chapter Seventy-Six: Haze Mountain
When Xia Duoduo woke up, he was already in the haze mountain. There was a thick fog around it, and I don't know why it smelled of decay. Xia Duoduo checked her body and found that she was not harmed, so she was a little relieved.
Because of the influence of the fog, the visibility around was very low, and Xia Duoduo cautiously groped her way forward. She didn't move very fast, and she began to see the trees faintly everywhere, and Xia Duoduo could still feel that the ground was very wet.
I don't know how long it took, Xia Duoduo finally walked to a relatively open place with the faint shadow of the trees, and this place is surrounded by trees, and there are several stones of different sizes and strange shapes in the middle, Xia Duoduo carefully observed the stones and found that these stones were engraved with words, literally, it should be a few tombstones.
This discovery made Xia Duoduo shudder, what kind of people would be buried in such a place, and who built such tombstones for these dead people?
Xia Duoduo tried to call Shuangyu, but the strange thing is that since entering this ghost place, Shuangyu has not had any reaction, which Xia Duoduo can't understand, according to Grandpa Li, Shuangyu is a relatively advanced magic weapon, with independent consciousness, but now there is no response, it can only mean that there is something more advanced in this haze mountain, or something that shields Shuangyu's connection with himself.
Actually, Xia Duoduo didn't guess wrong, this haze mountain was indeed set up with an enchantment, this enchantment was deliberately set up to prevent outsiders from breaking into the mountain without permission, as for why Xia Duoduo was able to enter, it actually had something to do with the owner here.
Haze Mountain has existed more than 500 years ago, and because of the special geographical environment, it is shrouded in fog all year round, so outsiders look very mysterious. In the eyes of outsiders, this mountain is a product of nature, and it should have no owner, but everyone guessed wrong, this mountain has an owner.
The owner of this mountain is not an ordinary person, he is like Lear, he has a strong mana, and like Xia Duoduo, he has a high-level magic weapon, but he has a different understanding of evil things and ghosts, he thinks that no matter how evil people or ghosts are, they all have feelings and thoughts, and they are also divided into good and bad, so he is different from those who shout all day long to kill demons, he does things by feeling.
It is precisely because of his independence that he is not understood by many people, and in the end, because he is too casual, he sees through right and wrong and goes into hiding. And the place where he retreated is Haze Mountain, which is his hometown, left by the older generation of family members.
Because of the long-term fog in Haze Mountain, the yin qi is too heavy, and from time to time there will be people who don't know Wu breaking in, and those who are lucky may be able to get out, and those who are unlucky will get lost in it and die. Therefore, evil things began to appear in the Haze Mountain.
In order to protect the mountain and prevent similar things from happening, the owner of Haze Mountain set up an enchantment nearby and spread rumors to the outside world, so that many people did not dare to approach this place again.
After knowing that his time was short, he recruited a few of his disciples in the Haze Mountain, and instructed them to protect the Haze Mountain for generations after his death, and to protect everything here.
You ask him why he has disciples? Yes, he has never married or had children, and he has spent his whole life in this unapproached mountain, but he has disciples, so he is not too lonely. He took in a total of 5 disciples, both men and women, they are all people with rough backgrounds, before the enchantment was set up, several of them broke into the haze mountain when they were desperate, and they thought they would die in this place, but they were rescued by their master.
The owner of Haze Mountain saw that several of them had a fate with him, and the foundation was acceptable, so he let a few of them stay in Haze Mountain, accept them as apprentices, teach them spells and some knowledge, and thought that after they learned something, they would let them leave on their own, but what they didn't expect was that two of them fell in love for a long time and became husband and wife, and the remaining one also became brothers and sisters with them, and was unwilling to leave their master and Haze Mountain.
In the hundreds of years that followed, several disciples followed the instructions of the master, and the rumors have been passed on from generation to generation until now.
And the tombstones of different sizes that Xia Duoduo saw were the graves of the owner and five disciples of Haze Mountain. What Xia Duoduo encountered at the north gate of the academy, a person from Haze Mountain saw the whole process. So when he saw that Xia Duoduo was in danger, he didn't hold back, rescued her, and left her in the haze mountain.
Because he can't reveal his identity at will, he can only secretly show Xia Duoduo the way out.
Then again, Xia Duoduo had been resting for a while now, and she didn't dare to stay too long, so she got up and continued to look for a way out. She kept walking forward, noticing that the further she went, the fewer the number of trees, and the wider the road under her feet, Xia Duoduo understood that this was a good thing, which proved that her intuition was not wrong Maybe there will be a way out ahead.
But just when Xia Duoduo was happy, a long series of howls suddenly came out in front, and in an instant, the birds in the woods were frightened and screamed, and they were strung around, which made Xia Duoduo not know what was going on for a while.
The figure in the shadows also noticed the movement in the distant woods, and secretly screamed, "Oops." He hurriedly appeared next to Xia Duoduo and whispered to her, "Hide immediately, don't show up easily." ”
Xia Duoduo was startled by the sudden voice, and before she could see the appearance of the person who spoke clearly, he disappeared, as if no one had ever spoken.
But Xia Duoduo also knew that something big must have happened here, and now that he was alone, he had no ability to protect himself, so he obediently hid in a small cave next to him, and the entrance of the cave was gently covered with weeds.
On the other side, a figure quickly walked through the woods and stopped at the edge of a lake, on the lake there was actually a big guy with black gas all over his body howling wolf, its howl alarmed many animals and creatures living here, this big guy's eyes were red, he kept moving his body, and his expression was very painful.
Similar things have happened several times in Haze Mountain recently, although the mountain is heavy with yin qi, many holy spirits or animals and plants living here will be affected to a certain extent, but because of the protection and purification of the enchantment here, they will not easily undergo mutations, let alone be invaded by black gas like this, and will not be uncontrolled.
Although he couldn't figure it out, the man had lived here for a long time, and he had feelings for every living thing here, and he couldn't let them suffer so much.
He recited the incantation in his mouth, swiped his fingers on the sword, and drew the incantation with blood, and as soon as the word "scatter" came out, the black qi surrounding the big guy was completely dispersed.
