Chapter 254: Old Dreams
At the moment of life and death, Lao Yang didn't have time to rummage in Ouyang's backpack, he shook three times and two times, shook all the clothes and other daily necessities in the bag on the ground, and turned them up in a pile of clothes.
Just listening to Ouyang and the other two bodyguards shooting "bang bang bang" in a row, twenty or thirty walking corpses have already rushed up, and they are less than twenty meters away from us! Strange screams filled the valley, and with the help of the light of the three torches, I could see clearly that these walking corpses had already blurred their flesh and blood, their noses and mouths were misplaced, and even the noses of some walking corpses were swaying on their faces, and the whole face was as if they had been soaked in a pool of blood, and at this moment the blood had already coagulated, as if it had been smeared with a layer of soy wax, only its two eyes with blue light showed that this was still a monster with a breath. The scars on his body, as I saw before, were cruelly skinned in circles, a circle of human skin and clothes were peeled off, and a circle of human skin and clothes were glued to the body, as if they were engaged in artistic carving, looking at the remaining clothes on these walking corpses, there seem to be modern people, and there seem to be ancients, there is no doubt that in history and modern times, there have been outsiders who have broken into this steamed cliff, but they all died in this "corpse pool", why these people came, no one knows. But when I looked at the tragic death of these people, I only felt that there was a snake tail that tightly wound these people, and when the snake tail was released, the skin and flesh were opened......
"Found it!" Yang Tiancong held a pair of black hand rings, which were Ouyang's Lei Gong hand rings, wearing three Lei Gong heads of different shapes on the circle, shining under the light of the torch at this moment.
I immediately took it and held it up in my hand to see that its shape matched the rock sugar gourd trough on the rock wall of this boulder!
Looking at the walking corpses behind me, I held the Lei Gong hand ring, every heartbeat was clear, and I walked out with my legs, but I felt as if there were thousands of stones under my feet, and sweat had blurred my eyes. If this Thunder Ring is not the key, then everyone will die without a place to be buried, and even become walking corpses like these monsters!
"Quick! The bullets are gone! Lao Yang took out his dagger and shouted back at me.
At this moment, Ye Jiaoyi, Daniel, Huang Ying and others kept retreating with me, and they were already out of their souls.
"Click!" I stuck the Lei Gong hand ring against the slot print, and it was just right, seamless! Only two fingers are left to pull back.
I can't help but sigh at the craftsmanship of this Yang clan's Lei Yan people. It is surprising that the boulder and a pair of hand rings can be made so complementary, and they are a perfect match for each other!
It can also be seen that Ouyang's ancestors passed down this pair of Lei Gong hand rings in order to leave a pair of keys to open the gate of the Hanging City for future generations! The Ouyang family, the relationship with this Hanging City is really not shallow!
But this boulder wall, as usual, was unmoved!
"What's wrong?!" Lao Yang and Ouyang shouted at the same time, more than a dozen walking corpses had stepped on the fallen corpses and rushed up, and the bodyguard pistols in front were out of bullets. He was already fighting with a dagger, stabbing a walking corpse in the flesh, and the walking corpse fell to the ground with a scream, followed by another bodyguard with no bullets. Pull out your dagger and get ready to attack.
"I still have the last five bullets!" Ouyang shouted again, and then heard the three sounds of "bang-bang-bang", and the three walking corpses fell to the ground, leaving only two bullets!
I was at a loss. But his mind was still clear, and he immediately ran over and was in front of Ouyang. Chanting the mantra of "Rokko moving mountains", only to hear the sound of "whoosh", seven or eight walking corpses surging in front of the two bodyguards fell to the ground, "Quick, the knife stabbed in the chest!" β
Ten meters away, more than 20 walking corpses rushed up, and I was about to recite the incantation again, but I heard three sounds of "boom-boom-boom" behind me, as if thunder thundered to the top, opening the world, the earthquake trembled, everyone immediately looked back, that is, even those walking corpses not far away stopped, and suddenly heard Ye Jiaoyi shouting: "The stone is open!" The stone is open!! β
I saw that the boulder rock wall that I inserted into Lei Gong's hand circle was slowly moving towards the inside of the rock!
As the stone gate gradually moved inward, the grottoes were revealed on both sides.
"Quick! Everyone hurriedly ran towards the stone gate! I shouted, and saw that more than twenty walking corpses were about to approach, and once again chanted the Liujia Mountain Moving Technique to put them down, but after putting down this batch, the previous batch had already climbed up, but suddenly heard Huang Ying, who had already hid in the grotto, shouting: "Everyone, hurry up!" Behold, the stone gate has fallen back again!! β
Yang Tiancong and I looked back, and sure enough, the stone gate was slowly returning!
"The stone gate mechanism is set to open and close, everyone don't care about the walking corpse, go!" As soon as I pulled Ouyang up, I ran towards the grotto, Yang Tiancong picked up the "Lady in a Neon Dress" and stepped forward, and a bodyguard also ran over quickly.
But I heard another bodyguard behind me shouting: "Ninth Master, take care!" β
Everyone immediately looked at it, and saw that the bodyguard's feet were hugged by a walking corpse on the ground and fell to the ground!
"Hadron!" Lao Yang threw down the "Picture of a Lady in a Neon Dress" in the grotto, and was about to rush out.
I grabbed him: "Lao Yang, it's too late, the walking corpses have already rushed over, and you will be sent to death if you go out!" β
"Nope! Hadron is my brother for twenty years, and I can't let my brother die here! Lao Yang threw me away, but was hugged by another bodyguard: "Ninth Master, there's no way...... This door is being closed, and even if you run out and save the strong son, the door will be closed when you come back! β
"Fuck you!" Lao Yang fanned over with an ear scraper, and rushed out with a dagger, I looked at the speed of the stone gate moving back and the size of the grotto, as long as Lao Yang rushed out and pulled the hadron, he would never come back. Immediately, I also quickly stepped out of the stone gate, chanting the Nine Turns Soul Order, and in an instant, a black shadow attacked the hadron who fell to the ground, and I saw that in the sky, the black shadow wrapped in the hadron and churned on the groundβ
"Ahh Hadron screamed, and his legs and waist were already splashed with blood!
When I looked, three or five walking corpses were holding him together!!
My eyes were dark, and the evil aura of heaven and earth that I summoned was a powerful force to restrain people, but the brute force of a walking corpse was so great, not to mention that it was still five walking corpses!
It looks like Hadron is going to die here...... I wiped my eyes, and Lao Yang, who pulled the side, ran towards the grotto: "It's a pity for the strong son, I can't pull back the evil qi I summoned......"
Even if Lao Yang makes another attack at this moment, he can only follow me back to the grotto quickly, and more than a dozen walking corpses are less than three meters away from the two of us! When he entered the grotto in a flash, he saw that the upper body of the strong son in the distance had been separated from his waist and legs, and the blood was extremely bright red under the light of a torch on the ground.
And I saw that the stone door was about to retreat and close. Immediately pulled out the pair of Lei Gong's hand rings that were exposed a little outside the stone trough, and then quickly took out a red thread from his clothes and tied it to it, and threw it outside the stone door.
Just as a dozen or so walking corpses rushed up, and one walking corpse even had its arm stretched into the grotto, I heard a "bang" and the stone door closed!
Between heaven and earth, there is instant tranquility and peace.
The arm of the walking corpse was snapped and fell to the ground, startling Ye Jiaoyi, who was not far away, jumped and shouted.
"Hadron!" But I heard Lao Yang reply at this moment. Sitting on the ground, there was a wail, and tears flew together, and another bodyguard also cried together.
The torch in Ouyang's hand and the torch in the bodyguard's hand reflected the grotto red and bright, but if this was the Hanging City, what was the difference between this Hanging City and a mountaintop cave? Which is the paradise rumored by the masters of Xuanmen, the paradise of paradise on earth? But seeing that in this grotto, there are stalactites on the rock walls everywhere, and it is obviously a big cave, which is extremely cold and damp. From time to time, there is the sound of the earth spring, as if there are bats "popping" and flying with their wings, and the two torches can only shine on the area about five meters in front of them, but they can also see that this cave leads further and farther. The size of the cave is about the same height as the subway tunnel in Shanghai, and it is not a big problem for seven or eight people to walk side by side, and this road extends to the dark and secluded cave in the distance, as if the giant monster opened its bloody mouth. It makes people shiver instantly.
"Qiangzi, I'm sorry for you!" Lao Yang stood up under the pull of the bodyguard, still with tears in his eyes. "Who knew that this trip would cost you your life! Yang Tiancong can only be brothers with you in the next life! β
"Ninth Master, let's mourn! There is still a long way to go, and excessive sadness will also damage the spirit! The bodyguard persuaded on the side, "Qiangzi is also my good brother, he sacrificed himself today to save us, this kindness, Hei Biao, I will never forget!" From now on, his parents will be my Hei Biao's parents! β
"Hey! The strong son is a manly man for a lifetime, but none of them have a good death, and they are heroic by some walking corpses! Lao Yang wiped his eyes, "This is because I didn't take good care of my brother, and I won't have the face to see my brother in the future!" Anyway, Qiangzi, your old father and mother, that is, my Yang Tiancong's parents, Qiangzi, you have a spirit in the sky, you will definitely be able to see that I will treat your parents well and send the second elder to the end! β
I let out a long sigh, along the way, he is still dead, and the death of the strong son, after all, has also bought us some time to live, take care of his family, and this is also my responsibility. I walked over and patted Yang Tiancong: "Old Yang, don't be sad, we still have to look forward, and when all this comes out, let's erect a tomb stele for Qiangzi here." β
Yang Tiancong nodded, his expression still dazed. Immediately, I beckoned everyone to take a break for a while, drink water and eat dry food, adjust the state of adjustment, and wait for the opportunity to act.
After nibbling on a few bites of beef jerky, I lit a torch and looked around, squatted down and listened to the sound of the underground spring, then walked a few steps deeper into the cave, threw a few stones, knocked on the rock wall, and returned to the group and said: "Listening to the sound of the spring flowing and the echo of the cave, I roughly estimate that the cave is at least several miles long, and there should be a dark river in front of it." I believe that walking through this dark river, you should see the true face of the Hanging City, the ancients did not deceive me, many volumes of ancient books of Xuanmen Hanging City is a paradise in the world, this section of the cave, must be just the Yang clan Lei Yan people in front of the temple to make a mysterious secret tunnel, we carefully walk through this dark road, you will see the true face of Lushan. β
"So, shall we rest here tonight, or shall we leave immediately?" Ouyang looked at me.
According to the records of the ancients, especially the Xuanmen sage and Taoist Ge Xuan in the Three Kingdoms era recorded in his "Divine Introduction": "There is a dangerous path in front of the hanging city, the charm is rampant, and the Han cannibal eats people." In addition to the description of this "dangerous path", the whole "Divine Introduction" introduces how picturesque and heavenly the Hanging City is. Although "Divine Introduction" was shocked by later generations as a celestial person, later generations all believed that Ge Xuan was visiting the Hanging City in a dream, because the Hanging City was lost through the ages, and no one had ever seen it with his own eyes, and Ge Xuan only described the internal and external scenery and cultural attractions of the Hanging City, but there was no pen and ink to point to the specific location and whereabouts of the Hanging City. Although Ge Xuan's nephew, Ge Hong, a great yin-yang scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has written countless articles to prove that the "Divine Objects Citation" does describe it, most of the later generations are skeptical.
And now when I see this cave secret road, I can't help but have seven points of belief in Ge Xuan's "Divine Introduction", Ge Xuan may have really been to the Hanging City, or, maybe his Ge family is the descendants of the Lei Yan clan of the Yang clan who came out of the Hanging City, just like Wu Daozi who made this "Picture of a Lady in a Neon Dress". But Ge Xuan said in "The Divine Introduction" that this secret passage is rampant. Han cannibalism", this is a big murderer!
It is not surprising that some mountain mandrill ghosts are born in some extreme yin mountain ranges. But the "ζ’Όζ" is a fierce beast in ancient times, and it is the monster of the Yellow Emperor Chiyou era. The Classic of the Western Wilderness contains: "The Western Wilderness. There are beasts, its shape is like a tiger and dog hair, two feet long, human face, tiger feet, pig teeth, two wings, tail is one foot eight feet long, disturbing the wilderness. Minghan ζ".
I don't dare to tell everyone these allusions, especially now that these women are on the same road. This is an ancient beast, whether it exists today. I don't know anything, after all, this hanging ancient city that has existed in ancient books for thousands of years has been missing, what else is impossible?
The point is. I had identified the horrors of the walking corpses being skinned outside, and I seemed to think that this was not human. And such a big mountain, but there are no animals, not even a sparrow can be seen...... Immediately, I said, "I have been tossed by the walking corpse for this night, and I really don't have much energy, so let's just lie here for a while, recuperate a little, and let's go after waking up." "I don't know how much danger there is ahead, and if I don't have energy, it will be tantamount to self-destruction.
Immediately, we lit another torch and laid out the carpet in the cave, and each of us lay down to sleep. After a while, a snoring echoed in the cave.
I saw that Ouyang couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so I leaned over gently and said softly, "Ouyang, can't sleep?" β
Ouyang nodded and said, "I'm thinking about my father, is he still alive?" It's been thirty years, and he came to Hanging City alone, there are so many walking corpses outside this stone gate, will he ......?"
"Since your father can leave us a clue." I pointed to "The Lady in a Neon Dress," which means that he should know everything here, and I think he should be safe and waiting for us to find him." "Ouyang knows the date of his father's birthday, but he doesn't know the specific time, yes, and I can't push his birthday.
"Fang Yin, if I hadn't met you, how much misfortune would my life have, how much bleak it would be......" Ouyang was reclining, staring at me with his hand on his chin, "Although I still lost you, your status in my heart will always be the same as Du Bingchan's status in your heart, hey, I really envy Bingchan!" β
I smiled bitterly, Du Bingchan's voice and smile just appeared in front of my eyes again, and I sighed lightly for a long time, I and Du Bingchan, whether the front edge will continue is already unknown, and now, I have indeed failed the good woman next to me, I can only say that if I meet Ouyang again in the next life, then don't let it go...... After a while, seeing that Ouyang had closed his eyes, I also pillowed my hands, looked at the top of the cave, and passed in a daze.
Sleepy-eyed, suddenly saw the cave in front of the cave open in the daytime, as if the sun directly into the hole, I immediately got up and walked over, I saw at the end of the daylight, a pair of green mountains and green, small bridge flowing water, outside the broken bridge, in front of the willow orchid boat, a beautiful woman in a neon dress graceful, feather clothes swaying with the wind, the back is so familiar!
"Chan'er?" I rubbed my eyes and followed quickly, but I saw the beautiful woman looking back at dusk, and sure enough, it was Du Bingchan's face that was captivating the country and the city, but it was rouge that changed color: "Wu Sheng, why are you here?" β
"Wu Sheng?" I was stunned, and I immediately remembered that this version of Du Bingchan in a neon dress and feather coat was only afraid that it was the "Ji Wushuang" that had appeared in my dream, and immediately, I shouted: "Wushuang? β
"Wu Sheng, you leave quickly!" Ji Wushuang had already hidden his face and wept, "I can't let you see me walking on the altar of the Holy Maiden......"
"Wushuang, Chiyou Holy Maiden?" I was puzzled for a while, but looking at her look and listening to her words, I knew that she was in danger, "We, we...... Can I come and save you? β
"You and I are bitter mandarin ducks after all, and we have no chance in this life, so we can only continue in the next life...... Wu Sheng, you and I have made a promise of three lives, life and life, we have to continue to write the edge, you and I are Taoist people, the promise of three lives, promise to do, twenty-four years later, you will be in Chang'an Baoguo Temple next to the canal willow path, listen to a ten-year-old little courtesan singing "Wanghai Tide", that is me, but unfortunately at that time, Jun was born I was not born, I was born Jun, I am old, the second life has no chance; In the third life, I was born before I was born, and I was old when I was born...... Life after life, there will be a lifetime, you and I will live together, you will definitely hear me sing "Wanghai Tide" again, that is me, do not ask for a white head in this life, but ask for a certain life to be old, Wu Sheng, you leave quickly, I will go to the altar ......"
Hearing this, I only felt that the breath in my chest was not smooth, and my whole body trembled, the "Wu Sheng" in her mouth was her lover thousands of years ago, but could it be that I and her lover a thousand years ago looked the same?
It can be said that more than a thousand years later, Du Bingchan and her face are picturesque!
Could it be that we are really "the old love before the Sansheng Stone, and the mandarin duck spectrum in the marriage book"?
Listening to her "Wanghai Tide", I seem to be familiar, and my ears seem to echo that night when I celebrated Du Bingchan's 25th birthday in Shipen Village, Anhui Province, I set off fireworks with a ground fire, Du Bingchan teary-eyed chanted a song she made "Wanghai Tide", thinking of this, I immediately asked: ""Wanghai Tide" is made for fireworks? β
Ji Wushuang didn't answer me, just stood on the broken bridge, looked into the distance, and sang softly:
"Light smoke cage, flying flowers frequent,
Hauni transient clouds;
Golden luan edelweiss, real pearl jade pendant,
A thousand reds and purples.
Flowing glamorous, bursting into the stars, gorgeous and endless.
There are few mountains, and the fragrant willows are scattered in the world.
Wan Tingjun is rewarded.
Born from the side, it does not stand in the dust and sand.
Yaocao Douqi, Fangyin Tucui,
Makeup into a fire tree silver.
How much does fate sink out? I read it all over at the time, smiling and smiling.
Charming and now again, weeping for the years.
"This is what you did for me at the Hanging City Thor's Festival Fireworks Festival, and I love it very much. Wu Sheng, this is a farewell, life and life, I will chant this "Wanghai Tide" waiting for you in front of the Sansheng Stone, thousands of generations, there will be a lifetime, you and I will reunite in another world......" crystal tears cut her cheeks, in front of her, as if setting off a gorgeous fireworks, I was horrified for no reason, and she was in the fireworks bright, gradually blurred, gradually passing away......
This is exactly that night, Du Bingchan chanted to me the lyrics of "Wanghai Tide. Fireworks.
"Fang Yin, wake up!"
I woke up suddenly, but saw Ouyang shaking me fiercely: "Hey, you have tears on your face, what kind of dream did you have?" Huang Ying is gone, Lao Yang is looking for her! β
"The Yellow Warbler is gone?" I stood up instantly, "Old Yang, why didn't you wake me up earlier!" β
