Chapter 53: The Stone Tablet
Longyang found the record of the stele in a wild history miscellaneous book, and never expected that Fangcun Town had such a deep historical origin, and it was a place that must be fought for in ancient times.
It is impossible to find the real reason only by relying on the records and thoughts in the books, and only by being on the scene and exploring in person will you understand the truth, so Long Yang decided to go on his own. I can't go into the woods at night, it's too dark to see in person, so I have to choose the day. Especially in the middle of the day, the strong sunlight can penetrate the layers of foliage, bringing a rare light to the woods and illuminating its inner space.
Knowing that Long Yang was going to enter the woods southeast of the town again, Yu Fei and Tian Tian strongly asked to go along, but Long Yang couldn't resist them, so he had to agree. Not only that, Zhu Hongyuan and Xiao Li are also going, and Long Yang can't refuse. It was originally a one-person investigation, but it was carried out back and forth, and it became a five-person companion.
It was close to noon, and without waiting for Long Yang to greet him, Zhu Hongyuan and the others were already waiting outside his house. The black-robed man disappeared into the stone monument in the woods, and it would be very dangerous to move at night, and it should be fine during the day, so Long Yang agreed to go with them. Even during the day, Xiao Li prepared some necessary utensils in case he was caught off guard.
"Team Zhu, what's the name of your apprentice?" Long Yang deliberately lagged behind and asked Zhu Hongyuan in a whisper. Although Xiao Li is a few years older than Long Yang, he is not much older. However, he is experienced, careful and responsible, and is a rare talent and working partner.
"Oh, coincidentally, he has the same name as you, his name is Li Yang. Why do you suddenly ask about this? Zhu Hongyuan asked.
"It's nothing, I think he's really good, he's a good guy." Long Yang couldn't help but praise. He has always admired and respected Ling Feng, Tiandu, Zhu Hongyuan and others, and has never praised peers who are similar to himself.
"Of course, that's my apprentice." Zhu Hongyuan showed off again, and his mouth gushed endlessly.
Long Yang heard that Zhu Hongyuan began to show off himself again, and hurriedly walked forward, away from this proud guy.
At noon, a group of five began to enter the woods. From the moment they step into the woods, everyone can't help but stop and let their eyes get used to the sudden darkening of the environment. Two worlds entirely, light and dark, even on a sunny noon, make it difficult for people to adapt for a while. When I acted last night, I didn't notice much of a difference, but now I felt that the contrast was so great.
Fortunately, everyone quickly adapted to the environment and followed Long Yang towards the interior of the woods.
"Long Yang, do you say that stone tablet is so evil?" On the way, Tian Tian asked curiously.
"It's hard to say, but if what Noshi said is true, then it's very likely. Where there are many dead people or where the unjust dead die, strange things will happen. What Long Yang said was his own judgment, he didn't want to scare Tiantian. And when I heard his words every day, I felt uncomfortable, and I got closer and closer to everyone.
"Boss, don't be alarmist, you see our princess is scared!" Yu Fei walked beside him and laughed.
"you! Who said I was scared? Tian Tian never threw in the towel, but her actions betrayed herself. She followed closely behind Long Yang, reaching out from time to time to grab Long Yang's clothes.
Long Yang didn't seem to notice it, and let him grab his clothes every day. It's not easy to be a girl every day, and she is really commendable for being away from her parents and participating in various tasks like all scouts. Fear is innate in everyone, and every day is no exception, and she is still a girl.
"Attention, everyone, the front is almost there." Long Yang reminded the people behind him as he walked.
Hearing Long Yang's words, Zhu Hongyuan and the others immediately raised their vigilance, carefully observing the surrounding environment, and several people formed a combat formation, gradually approaching the destination.
As the front gradually opens up, the trees become scarce but thicker and thicker, and they all look like special species, or trees that are hundreds of years old. The canopy of trees is even denser and luxuriant, obscuring the sky and blocking the light, leaving the space in front of it without a trace of light.
Fortunately, it was prepared in advance, Xiao Li took out a flashlight and distributed one to each person. Long Yang chose to enter the woods at noon, just to avoid an environment without light, who would have thought that this place was different from other places, regardless of day and night, the same darkness.
Hasn't anyone gone deep into the woods before? Long Yang thought of a question, but he couldn't get an answer. They had all been drawn here from elsewhere and had no idea of the secrets of the woods. In the eyes of the locals, this forest is a forbidden place for life, and no one will enter it.
Long Yang didn't take the flashlight handed over, not because his eyesight was good, but because he had his own reasons. In the dark, if you turn on the flashlight, your vision will focus on the place where the flashlight illuminates, and the rest of the place will become a blind spot. Long Yang doesn't need a flashlight, he can observe more areas, leaving a point of leeway for everyone.
"Stele!" Zhu Hongyuan's light was the first to find the stone tablet in the distance, and he reminded everyone.
All the flashlights shine in front of them, and a stone monument stands in a clearing, as the dog baby describes, about three meters high and half a meter wide. But it's more different, when illuminated by a flashlight, it glows cyan and glows around it.
"There is a stone monument!" Screaming softly every day.
Everyone looked at the stele and was fascinated by it. Long Yang was also watching, but a sense of alarm and danger suddenly arose in his heart. Just when Long Yang was puzzled, he saw the four people around him walking towards the stone tablet.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Long Yang shouted.
But Zhu Hongyuan and the others ignored Long Yang at all, and still walked forward. Long Yang hurriedly ran in front of them and blocked their way. Who knew that they didn't seem to see Long Yang, they crashed into Long Yang's body and walked straight forward.
Not good! They're not going to run into evil, are they? Long Yang looked at the people around him, their eyes were empty, their expressions were dull, the flashlight in their hands was still shining on the stone tablet in front of them, and they were walking forward desperately.
This stele is so evil that it can capture people's minds and control people's actions. Long Yang hurriedly snatched the flashlight from the four of them and turned off the light.
"Huh? What's wrong, so dark? Zhu Hongyuan's voice came from the darkness.
"Long Yang, where are you? I, I'm afraid! "It's the voice of the day.
"Don't panic, everyone, listen to me! I'm going to turn on the flashlight now, don't you look at the stone monument again, do you hear?! After Long Yang repeated it again, he turned on the flashlight. He did not shine on the stele, but on the ground.
Fortunately, all four of them regained consciousness and were no longer affected by the stele. Long Yang distributed the flashlight again, and he specifically explained that no one could use the light to shine on the stone tablet again.
"Why?" Zhu Hongyuan didn't know the previous situation, but he felt that Long Yang was very cautious, and there must be an accident.
"You have lost your sense of self just now due to the influence of the stone tablet, and if I hadn't found it earlier, I don't know what would have happened." Long Yang didn't hide anything from the four people in his company, and he told everyone the truth so that they could be vigilant and prevent accidents.
"Damn, I almost got on the road!" Yu Fei woke up like a dream, and unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.
The stele is indeed weird, no wonder the dog baby said that he did not dare to approach the stele, once he approached, his soul would be scattered. It seems that it not only has an effect on ghosts, but also has a special effect on normal people. "Yes, it's unusual, you just have to light up other places, don't take a picture of the stone tablet, and leave the rest to me." Long Yang emphasized again.
Gradually approaching the stone monument, everyone's mood became more nervous. Long Yang asked the others to stay at a distance of ten meters and approached the stone monument alone.
"Long Yang, be careful!" There were reminders from the four behind Long Yang.
Long Yang didn't look back, raised his hand and made an OK gesture. At this time, he is the backbone of everyone, and if he shows nervousness and panic, it will directly affect everyone. Besides, Long Yang was not afraid, there was nothing he had never experienced.
When Long Yang approached the stele, he suddenly felt that the stele was not the so-called three-meter height, but extremely tall, giving people a particularly depressing feeling, and that feeling was getting stronger and stronger, and the person who was pressed couldn't breathe. Suddenly, a hurricane blew from the stone monument, making it impossible for Long Yang to stand and retreat several steps.
Immediately afterward, Long Yang saw countless soldiers in armor, holding bows, arrows and spears, rushing towards him. Their faces were covered with blood, their arms and limbs were broken, and they yelled one by one, their faces full of anger and unwillingness, and they pounced on themselves. Long Yang took a few steps back again, and the sight in front of him shocked him. Long Yang was extremely shocked, and kept reminding himself that this was an illusion, and this was not true. And this scene is very real, he is like he has come to a battlefield, and he is being attacked in a frenzy.
"What's wrong with Long Yang?" Zhu Hongyuan looked at Long Yang in front of him and said suspiciously. After Long Yang approached the stone stele, he retreated twice for no reason, and then stood still in place, which made the four of them very puzzled.
"He's not going to be lost in his mind, is he?" Xiao Li said on the side. Just now they were affected by the stone tablet and almost lost themselves, but fortunately, Long Yang woke them up in time. Looking at the current situation, Long Yang is the same as them just now, and he can't help but make everyone worry about him.
"Nope! Since Long Yang asked us to wait here, he should be sure to deal with it. We'll wait and see. Zhu Hongyuan stopped everyone's urge to go and inspect, he believed in Long Yang's ability and believed in his brother.
As time passed, Long Yang did not move, as if he was in a state of flux, cut off from the real world.
At this time, Long Yangru was out of the real world, and in front of him was an ancient battlefield, and he was experiencing a cruel war, a battle for the city. Countless soldiers are fighting frantically, countless people are lying in pools of blood, countless people are swarming up, and countless people are desperately resisting. In the end, the city was breached, and the defenders would rather die than give in, and their heads were cut off and their heads were in different places. The severed head did not bat at all, he was staring at Long Yang, his eyes were full of unyielding and hatred, full of anger.
The battlefield in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Long Yang suddenly woke up, and his body shook a little. He had been denying it before, thinking it was an illusion, but now, he had completely changed his opinion.
