Chapter 444: The Legend of the Evil Spirit
It was already late at night, and from time to time there was a burst of firewood breaking outside the tent, adding firewood to the fire, I knew that this was Mr. Huang and they were on duty outside in turn, and it was with them that I would lie here with peace of mind now.
Before I knew it, I was falling asleep.
I slept well this night, after so many days, my physical condition is getting worse and worse, and the quality of sleep is actually not very good, but because of a hard day, I slept soundly.
I don't know how long I've been asleep, but at night I feel like my chest is hot, hot, and I can't put into words.
When I opened my eyes, I found that it was the heat emitted by the relics on my chest, and it was because of the relics I wore for a long time that the toxins on my body would be delayed so slowly, Brother Haojie also said that if it weren't for this relic, I would have died a long time ago.
But today this relic is extremely abnormal, because it has reached the point of getting hot.
At this moment, my mind cleared up a lot, but there was a sound in my ears, which sounded extremely subtle, and it seemed like someone was gasping in my ear.
I can't put it into words, but my gut tells me that it's definitely not a human sound.
Even in the air, there is an extremely strong obsession and strange feeling.
Sister Hui seemed to be very cold, so the whole person leaned towards me again.
Looking at her sleeping, I couldn't bear to wake her up.
However, at this moment, a row of figures suddenly appeared in front of our tent!
It is called a row because they look like they are next to each other, each with his hands on the shoulders of the person in front of him, and he walks forward stiffly as if he had passed in front of our tent.
The line was very long, and it took about half a minute to walk before it was completely passed.
In this process, it seems that the temperature has dropped directly by more than ten degrees, and the whole air is filled with the smell of rotting corpses.
After a while, she opened her eyes, looked up at me first, and after making sure that there was nothing big about me, she whispered in my ear, "What kind of smell is this, it smells so bad!" ”
I glanced at Sister Hui, and then made a silent gesture to her, and she immediately understood what I meant, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Because it was very strange outside, Sister Hui was even more scared, and the whole person curled up in a ball, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep all night, and I kept whispering in her ear to comfort her, and the two of us stayed up until dawn together.
When the sky was just dawning, there was a cacophony outside.
There are many birds and beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, and they will inevitably make a noise when it is dawn, which makes Teacher Huang and them quarrel.
Immediately after that, I heard the sound of tent zippers, and our tent was also opened, and Mr. Huang stretched his head in, and was relieved to see that Sister Hui and I were fine.
And I was also helped out of the tent by Sister Hui, originally I just planned to come out to breathe, but after coming out, I really found that the scene was a little different.
The fire in front of us was now extinguished, the ground was covered with charcoal, and there was a mess near our tent.
The ground was littered with barefoot footprints from humans, and to my surprise, they looked like they had circled around our tent a few times before they all walked in the direction we needed to move forward.
And there is only one guide left, and now he is also full of anxiety, looking at the footprints on the ground, and at the same time looking at Teacher Huang.
Teacher Huang naturally found out for many years, and couldn't help but ask the guide, "Where is the other guide who came with you?" ”
When the guide heard this, he immediately shuddered, and at the same time, he looked at Teacher Huang with a very frightened expression, and replied: "He was here in the second half of the night last night, and then when I got up this morning, I came together and found that he was gone, isn't it?" Give him ......."
When the guide said this, his whole mental state was a little abnormal, and it was obvious that he was very scared now!
Teacher Huang shook his head directly and said, "How is it possible? Why do we do this kind of thing, it's just to let you lead the way, you charge us for the journey, take us where we want to go, everyone just takes what they need, I don't have any motive to kill you! ”
Mr. Wang's words were also very straightforward, without any detours, and the guide hesitated for a moment after listening to it before choosing to continue to believe us.
After staring at these footprints on the ground for a while, he saw that my expression became more and more strange, and finally he still held a cigarette and said to us: "Otherwise, let's go back quickly, this place really can't let anyone come in!"
Otherwise, the demons in here will blame us......"
Combined with the strange phenomenon I encountered last night, I always felt that the situation here was not so simple, and looking at the guide in front of me, I couldn't help but ask him, "Can you tell us about the rumors about evil spirits and this mountain, and let us hear about it!" ”
On this part of the way, because I was not feeling well, so I rarely spoke, and when the guide saw me talking, he was a little surprised, but after hesitating for a while, he still told us the story he knew:
Thousands of years ago, this mountain was a wild land.
According to legend, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times, and the tribe where Meng Huo was located happened in this mountain, due to the development of modern science and technology, the aborigines near the outside have moved out and lived a modern life.
However, due to the inconvenient transportation and underdeveloped communication in this mountain, there are still many primitive tribes of humans who stay here.
And these people are here because they are guarding a secret that has existed more than a thousand years ago.
At that time, human beings were very weak, and there was no way to defeat diseases and wild beasts, but in order to survive, they had to make an agreement with the mountain ghosts in the depths of the mountains, and every year they would send boys and girls to the mountain ghosts, and use their hearts and minds to carry out sacrifices, in exchange for the peace of each tribe for this year.
Until more than 700 years ago, when the Yuan army attacked Dali, many ethnic minorities were forced to migrate to the mountains in order to get rid of the control of the Mongols.
However, the Mongol rulers at that time believed that no one in the whole world could get rid of their iron horses, so the elite soldiers composed of more than 1,000 people followed these ethnic minorities all the way into the mountains.
