Chapter 694: The Grand Canyon
Luo Fei's footsteps are not fast, she has always kept a distance of about ten meters from the ghost, the mental power of several of us is too strong, if we rush to approach the ghost, I am afraid that it will not be able to bear it for a while, and the soul will be scattered on the spot.
It kept moving forward, and after a while, I heard the sound of running water in front of me, and it was very urgent, and there should be a large river with a strong flow not far away.
Eventually, it led us to a canyon, and I saw it turn around and say to us, "Cross the river." ”
Luo Fei asked it, "What's on the other side of the river?" ”
It didn't answer, and slowly floated into the air, drifting towards the other side of the canyon.
I was a little confused, so I asked Rophy, "What does it want to do?" ”
Luo Fei shook his head: "I don't know. But it does not have malicious intentions, I think, follow the direction it leads, maybe you can find Wang Dafu. ”
There was no other way at the moment, so I called Liu Shangang and went to the canyon to check it out.
When I came to the edge of the canyon, I noticed a very thick stone pier not far away, on which was tied a steel bar as thick as three fingers, and by the light of the moon, which was not too bright, I saw that this steel bar extended into the darkness on the other side of the canyon. And near the stone pier, there are also some belts and steel cables.
"This is a zipline, using a steel cable and steel bars across the canyon, you can slide to the opposite side," Liu said. ”
I leaned over to the stone pier and looked towards the bottom of the canyon, but the light was so dim that I could only faintly see some trees, and the rest was a large darkness, and the sound of running water came from the darkness.
"Now it's going to be difficult again." I smiled helplessly.
Liu Shangang: "Brother Zai still has a fear of heights?" ”
I still smiled helplessly: "He probably won't be able to get rid of this problem in his life." ”
Returning the same way with Liu Shangang, I briefly told everyone about the situation in the canyon, and Liang Houzai heard that he was going to zipline through the canyon, his face became a little unnatural, but he didn't say much.
Back near the stone pier, we first tied the belts around our bodies, then put the steel cables around the steel bars that crossed the canyon, and finally used the steel cables to wrap the belts around our bodies.
I was the first to set off, and before jumping off the ground, I said to Liang Houzai with some trepidation: "The belt and steel cable must be strong." ”
Liang Houzai let out a long breath: "Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be able to do it." ”
I looked at the darkness beneath my feet, took a deep breath, and kicked off the ground hard, first sliding some distance by inertia, and then grasping the steel bar with my hands, moving forward little by little.
The wind in the canyon was fierce, and the sound of running water and the wind below was mixed together, making people's scalp tingle.
I'm most worried about Liang Houzai now, and I don't know if he will be able to hold it later, but when I look back in the direction he is, there is only darkness left in my sight.
The canyon seemed to be very difficult to see through, and I could only see a small section of steel in the vicinity, except for this area, which was only dark in view.
In view of my weight and the fact that I could not determine the strength of the steel bar, this time, I was the only one on the zipline, and when I reached the opposite bank, the steel bar basically stopped shaking, Liu Shangang and Xian'er would act, and Luo Fei and Liang Houzai finally left.
Fortunately, the canyons were not too wide, and it took me a few minutes to stand on the opposite bank.
It was also after passing the canyon that I found that there was also a cottage on this side of the canyon, standing here, listening to the sound of flowing water and wind behind me, the place as far as the eye could see was a little fire, under the joint reflection of the fire and the moonlight, I could see that the building structure of this village was the same as the village on the opposite mountain, except that there was a missing earthen building at the top of the mountain.
Not long after, Liu Shangang and Xian'er also came over, and Xian'er yelled at me while untying the belt tied to her body: "Shouldn't you lose weight, when you zipline, I feel that the steel bars are about to break." ”
I said, "I don't have any fat on me, how can I lose it?" ”
Liu Shangang walked up to me, also looked at the fire in front of him, and then frowned: "It is said that there is fire in this place, and you can see it when you stand on the other side of the canyon, why can't you see anything just now." ”
I asked him, "Can't you even see it?" ”
Liu Shangang shook his head with some doubts: "Standing on the opposite side, I can only see a cloud of black." ”
There's definitely something wrong with this canyon!
At this time, I began to worry about Liang Houzai again, Luo Fei didn't have to worry, even if she accidentally fell, she could save her life by taking out the spirit banner to attract a yin wind, but Liang Houzai ......
I leaned towards the edge of the canyon and looked into the darkness with concern.
Xian'er was still paying attention to my weight: "Youdao, how many pounds are you now." ”
I ignored her, just staring at the dark canyon.
For about ten minutes, Luo Fei's figure appeared in my sight, she grabbed the steel bar with one hand, moving towards us little by little, and at the same time freed one hand to grab the belt on Liang Houzai's body, and moved forward with Liang Houzai.
Liang Houzai closed his eyes tightly, his hands and feet shrunk together, obviously afraid that he couldn't do it.
When Luo Fei was about to come to me, I quickly leaned out and pulled her and Liang Houzai over, and after landing, Liang Houzai was still panting heavily, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
I patted him on the back and asked, "Why are you afraid of this?" I remember that when you climbed the chains in the old Huang family's underground palace, you were calmer than this. ”
Liang Houzai waved his hand at me: "Alas, huh-I don't know what's wrong, I always feel that this canyon seems to have a strong suction force, as if it wants to suck me in, no, no, I want to vomit." ”
With that, he bent over and rushed to the side of the road, followed by a violent vomiting sound.
Luo Fei said to me, "I don't think something is right with this canyon too. ”
I nodded, "I think it's wrong, too, but I don't know what's wrong." ”
Luo Fei thought for a while and said, "Since I entered this village, I can't sense any Qi field, and when I crossed the canyon just now, I suddenly had an idea, could it be that this canyon sucked all the nearby Qi fields into it?" ”
There is indeed such a possibility.
I looked back and felt wrong: "It can't be said that there is no Qi field at all, the yin and yang Qi between heaven and earth are still there, but it is very light, in addition, in the black water found in the backyard, there is also a very faint Zhongzheng Qi field." Where did all that black water come from? ”
Luo Fei shook his head, unable to answer my question.
At this time, Liang Houzai patted his chest and came back: "It would be nice if I could bring Li Renfeng, he should be able to see something." ”
I nodded, but I felt a little helpless, I guess Li Renfeng's cold has not recovered yet.
Liu Shangang asked me, "Do you need me to go into the village to investigate?" ”
I said no, fake Wang Dafu and they are not dangerous people, so don't be so careful.
Hearing my words, Liu Shangang obviously couldn't let go, I knew that he was used to being cautious, and suddenly let him relax at such a time, and he couldn't relax.
I didn't say anything more, and walked straight to the nearest fire.
The house is next to the mountain road, and this fire comes from an old house with a wide open door.
Although the structure of the village in front of us is no different from the one we passed before, all the houses look much more dilapidated, and it is clear that they have not been inhabited for a long time.
I stood in front of the door and looked into the courtyard, and I saw a torch standing in the center of the courtyard, and the flames were dancing, and the surrounding scenery was also a little fluttering in the shaking of the flames.
It was indeed uninhabited, and I saw that the door of the house not far away was badly rotten, and at the foot of the courtyard was a stone bench that was already covered with moss.
Liang Houzai frowned and said, "Light a torch in the courtyard where no one lives...... What does this mean? ”
I said, "It should be to improve the purity of the local yang energy." Luo Fei was right, the canyon did have the ability to absorb the Qi field, and after the yang energy on the flame floated into the air, it floated towards the canyon. It's slow, though. ”
Luo Fei picked up my words: "Why can't I feel the yang energy on the flames?" ”
I raised my chin towards the side of the canyon: "It should be that canyon that shields your perception of the Qi field, I am now open to the eye of the sky, and I am relatively less affected." Go a little deeper. ”
After saying that, I continued to take everyone deeper, during which I passed by several houses, some of which had collapsed due to perennial decay, and those that were still intact were completely open, and in each courtyard, a torch was lit.
I don't understand the purpose of this arrangement, but one thing is certain, with so many torches lit at the same time, the yang energy in this cottage in front of me has indeed been enhanced.
But the bright flames on the torches are jumping and flashing at a great amplitude, and whether there is wind here or not, which shows that those flames belong to the evil fire that is difficult to control, and the yang energy here also belongs to the very strong evil yang.
Liang Houzai frowned all the way, but he never spoke.
The mountain road that spread from the edge of the canyon stretched to the depths of the village, and when we came to a slightly empty place, Liu Shangang waved his hand at me: "There are people, many people. ”
I stopped and looked at Liu Shangang, who added: "Those people's steps are very urgent, but they haven't moved, as if they ...... Stand still. ”
At this, he threw a very puzzled look at me.
I was also very puzzled in my heart, and said to Liu Shangang: "Lead the way." ”
Liu Shangang didn't hesitate, pointed to a small alley not far away, and took us to touch it.
The situation in the village is too weird, even if the fake Wang Dafu is not a dangerous person, I have to be careful, I deliberately lowered the footsteps when walking, and Liang Hou was also cautious when he carried them.
Passing through the alley, I saw a large number of flickering fires in front of me, and the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from ahead.
We moved a little closer and came to an open space in the center of the cottage, which seemed to be a square, and there was a large gray building directly north of the clearing, which seemed to be a ancestral hall or temple, and a stone staircase extended from the gate a few meters wide, and on either side of the stone staircase, there were two beast statues, which looked like dragons curled up on the ground, but there was only one eye on the dragon's head.
I've never seen anything like it.
A large group of black-clad people formed a circle in the clearing, constantly walking in place, each holding a torch in his hand.
As the firelight flickered, I noticed that the movements of these people were very stiff, and the expressions on their faces were dull.
They looked like a bunch of zombies full of life.
Liang Houzai touched my shoulder, raised his hand and pointed to the crowd, I looked in the direction he pointed to me, and I saw a familiar face.
That man was the stupid son of the false king Dafu, and he was now, like everyone else, with a torch in his hand, and his face was sluggish.
Xian'er whispered to me, "What are they doing?" ”
I shook my head, "I don't know, but I think they seem to be controlled by some kind of force." Do you remember that person? He is the stupid son of the fake king Dafu. ”
Xian'er: "I'm blind, I can't remember." ”
