Chapter 68: Devil's Ridge (I)
After the bus fell into the river, Huang Jianjun and I turned our eyes back to the coffin, Huang Jianjun took out a corpse talisman, stuffed it into my hand and said, "Go and cover the coffin board and paste the corpse talisman." ”
I didn't think much about it, I took the corpse talisman with my right hand, stepped forward cautiously, gently put the head of the skeleton back into the coffin with my hand, lifted the broken coffin board to cover the coffin, and pasted the corpse talisman on the coffin board.
"Although this hanging coffin has existed for thousands of years, it is always a bad thing, Xiao Fu, push the coffin down!"
As soon as Huang Jianjun's words came out, I was so shocked that I was stunned, what did the old man say? Let me throw the coffin under the cliff?
"Don't think about it, just do it!" Huang Jianjun muttered.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, held the coffin with both hands, walked to the gap where the bus fell like walking on thin ice, and looked at the turbulent river in the deep valley, my feet and stomachs were turning, and the hand holding the coffin couldn't stop trembling.
I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, and threw the coffin forward, and when I opened my eyes again, the black coffin arced through the air and fell vertically into the river and disappeared.
The sky is getting dark, this place is still more than ten kilometers away from Yanjin, I was worried about whether I would spend a night on this dangerous highway, Huang Jianjun took out his mobile phone to open the map, and said to me in surprise: "Xiao Fu, let's walk forward five hundred meters, and then take the mountain road, probably over two mountains to the final destination of this trip." ”
I asked with a surprised face, "Climbing the mountain at night?" Master, you're not in the right mind, are you? ”
Huang Jianjun said to me with a serious expression: "Walking the mountain road is the most dangerous and fastest way, the situation in the village is unknown at the moment, the escaped zombie will attack the villagers at any time, we can't waste any more time, we must rush to the village as soon as possible!" ”
Since he can come up with a way to get out of the mountain road, it means that the situation in the village is not optimistic, and it has reached the point of burning his eyebrows, and he must take a shortcut and quickly march towards the village.
Huang Jianjun and I were about to move forward after a little rectification, when we suddenly thought of what those passengers should do? Huang Jianjun patted me on the shoulder and said calmly: "Don't worry, someone will come to pick them up soon." ”
Under the leadership of Huang Jianjun, I followed him into a dense forest, walked hundreds of meters deep and shallow, and came to a towering mountain. ”
Devil Ridge? Hearing this chilling name, I asked with a wary face, "Is that place called 'Devil Ridge' dangerous?" ”
Huang Jianjun did not deny it, and a sly smile flashed on his face: "'Evil Ghost Ridge' is the largest Juyin Pond in the vicinity, and it has been the base camp of ghosts and evil spirits within a radius of dozens of miles since ancient times, we will venture over the 'Evil Ghost Ridge' tonight and strive to enter the village early tomorrow morning." Xiao Fu, you have to be mentally prepared! ”
I nodded, and said with some unhappiness in my heart: "Does this guy doubt my ability?" ”
Before climbing the mountain, we ate some dry food to replenish our strength, Huang Jianjun held a mountaineering pickaxe and paratrooper knife in his hand, and said seriously: "Take it, in case you encounter a beast or a spirit, you can also use it as a weapon to resist for a while." ”
The sun soon set, and the light around it became dimmer and dimmer, almost to the point where you couldn't see your fingers.
Huang Jianjun took out two military flashlights from his bag, which were not only bright, but also had a long ray, which could temporarily blind living creatures within a certain distance.
I took the flashlight and turned on the switch, and a pillar of pale yellow light tore through the deep darkness around me and shot deep into the mountains. Huang Jianjun said reassuringly: "With such a powerful flashlight, even if you walk on the mountain road at night, you don't have to worry about encountering evil spirits." ”
Without further ado, Huang Jianjun and I used flashlights and mountaineering picks to climb the steep mountain wall and climb up step by step.
I have long heard that the mountain on this side of Zhaotong is known for its steepness and majesty, but when I actually climbed it, I deeply realized: this is not climbing a mountain at all, it is death!
The geological conditions of the mountain wall are very fragile, and as we continue to climb upwards, large and small gravel falls from the cliff face from time to time. I was tired of dodging falling rocks, and I was afraid that one would accidentally fall, and when I looked up and saw Huang Jianjun flying on the steep rock wall like a rabbit, I couldn't help but think in my heart: It's all an old bone, and the body shape is even more sensitive than the ape in Bashan, this thing can't be a monkey, right?
Just when I was thinking about desertion, Huang Jianjun's figure disappeared from my field of vision, I didn't expect this old guy to climb so fast, and it only took less than a few minutes to open up such a big gap.
When I slowly climbed to the top of the mountain, Huang Jianjun was sitting bored on a smooth stone platform and smoking, when he saw that I had finally climbed up, he complained very ruthlessly: "It's too slow, it's too slow!" I didn't do well tonight, and I have to train more in this area in the future. ”
I lay on the grass panting heavily, covered in cold sweat, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: I was able to climb to the top of the mountain intact, what a miracle! When I get back, I will tell Jiawen and the blind man about it, and they will definitely be impressed with me.
After resting for a few minutes, Huang Jianjun urged me: "Time is pressing, keep going!" ”
I reluctantly stood up and took a few sips of the mineral water in the kettle. At this moment, Huang Jianjun jumped onto the stone platform and posed in a golden rooster independent posture, raised his finger to a low hill not far away, and said to me in a solemn tone: "Do you see that strange rocky hill?" That is the 'Devil Ridge', a forbidden place where no one can approach! ”
I shone my flashlight in the direction of Huang Jianjun's finger, and I saw that in the dark night, about 300 meters away from us, there was a small hill that was incompatible with the surrounding mountains. Although I didn't open the yin and yang eyes, but through the strong light from the flashlight, I could clearly see the thick yin and evil aura emanating from the hill, and from a distance, the whole hill seemed to be shrouded in a faint white mist, which was really indescribably weird.
"It seems that what Huang Jianjun said is true, the place of 'Evil Ghost Ridge' is really not an ordinary danger!" I thought to myself.
I followed behind Huang Jianjun, along a relatively gentle mountain road downward, before leaving, Huang Jianjun specially put the mountaineering pickaxe back into the backpack, and then took out a peachwood sword in his hand, as if facing a great enemy said to me: "Over this mountain is the boundary of the 'Evil Ghost Ridge', entering the 'Evil Ghost Ridge' is equivalent to coming to half of the underworld, in the process of marching we must try to suppress the yang energy on the body, to avoid unnecessary battles." ”
I heard Huang Jianjun say that "Evil Ghost Ridge" was so terrible, and I couldn't help but feel a little hairy.
As I was thinking, I suddenly felt something tap on my shoulder, but when I looked back, there was nothing.
"Uncle, I'm entangled in dirt!"
The ring of power on the middle finger of his right hand suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, which was particularly dazzling in this dark netherworld. I pulled out my peachwood sword behind my back, and in my left hand I held a few exorcismal talismans, ready to strike at any moment. The heart was pounding nervously, and an unprecedented sense of fear swept through the body.
At this moment, Huang Jianjun suddenly stopped next to a cyan stone tablet, and said with a pale face: "'Evil Ghost Ridge', it's ......"
