Chapter 36: The Other Side
In this way, Zhang Sanfeng and I walked between the mountains and forests under the leadership of these two guys who didn't know what it was, and they were often active in this area, so they were naturally very familiar with the terrain here, so although in this case, our walking speed was not slow. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The two of them even took us to dig out a big package at the foot of the mountain, which was full of equipment, Liu Jiabing said that this is what they have collected over the years, and it seems that they have planned a lot for today.
There are shovels, knives, trekking poles, water bottles, half a bottle of wine, and even gold charms, gas masks and the like, which shows that there are tomb robbers in the vicinity over the years.
"Two big brothers, you two shouldn't have come to fight ten years ago, right?" Zhang Sanfeng, this kid, was open-mouthed, and asked directly, and the two of them didn't hide it, they nodded and admitted with a smile.
The two of them can't be considered human beings now, and they are bent on death, so it doesn't matter what they can say or can't say.
"Why, you two boys look like students," Liu Jiabing laughed, "It can't be peers, right?" ”
"That's a side hustle," Xiao Zhang said with a smile, "We don't specialize in inverted fights." ”
I glared at him, and said to myself, you guy, dare to say anything.
"Yes, yes, Master Zu is not thin on us, ten years later, he will send his juniors to collect the corpses for us," Liu Jiabing smiled and pestled Liu Yiding, these two brothers are really a pair of living treasures, one is talkative and enthusiastic, and the other is very stuffy, and there is not a word along the way.
After a moment, Liu Jiabing put away the smile on his face and put on a very serious expression, "However, as a person who has come over, I want to advise you, don't fight the idea of this tomb, this is a demon tomb, how many heroes and heroes have been folded in it over the years, I already knew that we ...... Alas, don't mention it. ”
Hearing the word "demon mound", I suddenly shuddered, always felt so familiar, after a little thought, I remembered that the crazy Taoist priest in the forest of Python Mountain also said the same words, and I still remember the words before he died - don't hit that place, it's a demon mound!
"That's that," Xiao Zhang shrunk his neck when he heard this, "how dare we two have that guts." ”
The four of us chatted a few more words, and it was relatively easy to talk, and the fear in my heart subsided little by little.
After walking for a long time, the trees in the forest gradually thinned, and after walking for two or three miles, I passed through a gap between the two mountains, and suddenly my eyes suddenly opened up.
The first thing that caught our eyes was a large patch of bright and vibrant red, like fire and blood, which was very shocking and made our breath stagnate.
"It's ...... Flowers on the other side? I muttered.
The Flower of the Other Side, also known as Manzhu Sawah, is said to be a flower that voluntarily threw itself into hell, and was sent back by the demons, but it still lingered on the Yellow Spring Road, and the demons could not bear it, so they agreed to open it on this road, giving a guide and comfort to the souls who left the human world.
It is generally believed to be a flower that only blooms on the banks of the Santu River in the underworld and on the other side of the Lethe River. Floral legends have magical powers that evoke memories of the deceased.
It is known as the "Fire Road" because of its red fire, and it is also the only scenery and color on this long Huangquan Road. When the soul passes through the Lethe, it forgets all the things that were in life, and everything that was once left on the other side, and the deceased will step on the guidance of this flower to lead to the underworld and hell.
Of course, these are just legends, the other side of the flower in reality is just a perennial herbaceous plant, I have also seen the photos of the other side of the flower sea on the Internet, but they are all abroad, I have not heard of such a beautiful scenery in my country.
And the sea of flowers in front of me was bigger and more agile than the picture I saw, a breeze blew, and the bright red flowers swayed with the wind, like a wave of the blood of the River Styx.
What surprises us even more is that a small plain behind the sea of flowers actually sits a small village, with smoke curling, chickens and dogs smelling each other, and even a few little girls with bamboo baskets picking flowers.
It is really a mountain and a heavy water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
When Xiao Zhang and I looked at each other, we both saw a relieved expression on each other's faces, and after tossing for so long, we finally saw people again.
"This is it," Liu Jiabing slapped his hand on my shoulder, "The two of us are not alive, we can't cross this sea of flowers, you should hurry over, don't look at this village is so deserted, it will be lively at night, remember, don't ask nonsense, and don't talk nonsense." ”
After that, before we could reply, the two of them hurried back into the woods, and the two of us stood there for a while, seeing that the sun was about to set, and that it was not possible to stand like this, so we set up the flowers and walked along a path to the village.
The little girls who were picking flowers looked at us and ran up and down towards the village, and when we reached the entrance of the village, an old lady with a cane and a few young women in their thirties came out of the village.
The old lady was at least ninety years old, wearing a coarse cloth dress, goosebumps, and looked quite energetic and kind, and the women around him were very good-looking, not that they were alluring to the country and the city, but they were very peugeot, not powdered, relatively pure, and pleasing to the eyes.
It's just that I always feel that they seem to be missing something, but what is it, I stared at it for a while, but I couldn't see anything, I could only look away, I couldn't look at it anymore, the two of us came from outside, and as soon as we entered the village, we stared at other girls, no matter how I said it, it was a bit unorthodox.
Without waiting for them to speak, Xiao Zhang and I hurriedly stepped forward to say hello and explained the intention, of course, we made it up, saying that the two of us came here to explore, got lost in the woods, and accidentally touched here, seeing that it was about to get dark, and wanted to spend the night here.
"Okay," the old lady nodded, "we haven't seen anyone here for a long time, and when we heard that outsiders were coming, they all wanted to come out and see it, and make you laugh." ”
The old lady spoke in dialect, which was a bit vague, and I could only understand the general meaning.
Since ancient times, the poor mountains and bad waters have been shrews, but this does not seem to apply here, at least these mountain people are still very hospitable.
There was another greeting, the group of women welcomed us into the village, and the old lady also asked people to vacate a room for us to rest, and the people in the mountains were simple and warm, which made me and Xiao Zhang very moved.
However, there is one thing that strikes me as a little strange that from the beginning we only see women, not men, not even a boy, which is somewhat unreasonable.
However, Liu Jiabing just told us not to ask nonsense, and I suppressed this curiosity in my heart.
With this thought, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more wrong, and even their enthusiasm became a little fake, and I raised my vigilance.
When you're away from home, there's always nothing wrong with keeping an eye on it.
Before entering the house, I glanced back.
The sun finally couldn't hold on anymore and sank into a sea of blood-like flowers.
And so, night fell.
