Chapter 64: Into the Sand River
Yaowang Pavilion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info in the hall on the second floor.
A pot of good tea soup is full of fragrance.
In the hall, there were two people sitting. It was Yan Sanjun and Jin Chengcheng.
As soon as Yan Sanjun sent Niu Siyu away, he went straight to the Medicine King Pavilion, he came this time, not to have tea with Jin Chengcheng, but to inquire about Yan Su's news.
"Third Young Master, Old Man Yan's affairs are a little eyebrow-raising, someone has seen him in the Shahe area. It is said that he was seriously injured and took refuge in the mountains. Jin Chengcheng said.
"Oh, Sand River? You mean the old forest? Yan Sanjun asked. The old forest he mentioned was in the same area as the Shahe River mentioned by Jin Chengcheng.
In fact, the Sand River is not a river, but a large area of yellow sand, when the wind blows, the yellow sand rolls, like a river rushing, so it is named Sand River.
Near the Sand River, there is a large forest that stretches into the mountains in the distance. This is an old forest, very old, and few people care about it.
There have been many legends about this old forest, some people say that it is full of evil spirits, some people say that there are many dark beasts lurking inside, and some people say that there is a large tomb inside.
"Exactly, in the area of Shahe, only that old forest can hide people's eyes and ears. Third Young Master, I see your old man, Bacheng is there. Jin Chengcheng analyzed.
Yan Sanjun's eyebrows were furrowed, and he said worriedly: "How much do you know about that old forest?" ”
"Well, this ...... To tell you the truth, I don't know much, and most of it is just hearsay, so I can't believe it. Jin Chengcheng said frankly.
Hearing this, Yan Sanjun was a little disappointed, he looked down at the tea soup on the table, and fell into deep thought. After a long time, Fang came back to his senses and said, "Golden shopkeeper, thank you, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”
Leave the Medicine King Pavilion and return to the Yan Mansion. Yan Sanjun informed the patriarch of the news he had obtained. The two discussed it and decided to go to Shahe to find Old Man Yan Su.
The next day, early in the morning.
In the midst of the endless wind and the weak fire, Yan Sanjun and Yan Tianming left the Yan Mansion together.
Originally, they wanted to bring more people with them to look for it, but after careful consideration, they still felt that it was inappropriate. At the moment, the situation in Mustard City is undecided, and there are still many hidden dangers that have not been eliminated, and if too many people are dispatched at once, it is easy to arouse the covetousness of people in the dark.
Moreover, the area around the Sand River is full of dangers, and there are too many people who go, which will expose the target and cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, the two decided to leave the elders in the mansion, and the two of them went to Shahe to find people in person.
The Sand River is located in the north of the city, about seventy miles away after leaving the city.
The two of them hurried with all their might, and it took them a full hour to come to the Shahe area.
In front of me, there is a piece of yellow sand, very barren. The ground was full of gravel, rolling in the wind, and from a distance, it really looked like a river.
Where the wind and sand move, it is not advisable to stay for a long time. Otherwise, they will be buried in the sand and trapped alive.
"Is this the Sand River?" Yan Sanjun muttered in his heart. Although he had heard about this place, it was the first time he had come here, and he was a little curious.
"Little third son, the area around Shahe has always been very dangerous, after entering, you must be very careful." Yan Tianming reminded.
"Yes, I will." Yan Sanjun nodded.
The two of them moved to the Sand River, and they were instantly buried by the wind and sand, and the yellow sand was rolling, like a yellow dragon, wanting to devour everything.
In the yellow sand, the two didn't dare to stay longer, and quickly moved to the direction where the old forest was.
After about a cup of tea, Yan Tianming suddenly stopped Yan Sanjun and said, "Little Sanzi, it doesn't seem right!" If you look at the terrain around you, it's a far cry from what we see on the map. ”
Yan Sanjun looked around, and also saw some clues, so he said: "Patriarch, could it be caused by the movement of the yellow sand?" Are we heading in the right direction? ”
"That's right. Well, maybe as you said, it was the movement of the wind and sand that caused the landscape to change. Let's go, if nothing else, go a little further and you will be able to see the old forest. Yan Tianming said.
The two of them discerned the next direction and continued on their way. At the same time, not far from them, a strange scene was being staged.
A dark wind whistled by, and countless yellow sand were rolled up, and under the yellow sand, a white thing was suddenly revealed.
The wind blew harder, and what was underneath the sand was slowly exposed. It was a piece of white bone, and it looked like an intercostal bone.
A bone is not worth making a fuss about, what is surprising is that the white bone is moving.
The range of its movements was very large, and after three or five efforts, it shook off the yellow sand around it. At this moment, a white arm suddenly sprang out from its side. The arm ended only with two broken stubble and three fingers.
Three fingers clawed in the air, and finally bent into a strange fist, which slammed down into the yellow sand.
With the help of this force, a figure suddenly sprang out from under the yellow sand, standing tall in the dark wind.
"Ahh There was a sound in the wind, which sounded like a sigh and a moan.
The voice came from a terrifying face, or, rather, from a skull.
The skeleton's eyes were hollow, and there was a wisp of ghost fire burning inside, which looked a bit like a lantern made of skeletons. In addition to these eyes, the most striking place is the big empty mouth.
There was not a single tooth in the mouth, and it was so open, as if it was going to choose someone to eat.
Its body was incomplete, half of it was mutilated, with only a severed arm and few ribs remaining.
Apparently, it was a mutated skeleton.
It stands to reason that all creatures in the underworld are dead souls, and there should be no skeletons. However, in fact, there have been many places where it has been confirmed that these skeletons not only exist, but that there are quite a few of them.
Skeletons are left behind after the corpse is corrupted, and should not have appeared in the underworld, but throughout the historical materials of the underworld, there are a large number of relevant records that show that skeletons are real.
Since no one could explain all this, someone took a different approach and created a book of skeletons to justify the skeletons, calling them one of the rarest species in the underworld.
Since then, there has been an additional race in the underworld, called the Skull Race.
The skeletons of the underworld have become fine, and their wisdom is no longer under the yin people, but also distributed throughout the underworld.
At this moment, the skeleton suddenly appeared in the rolling yellow sand, its eyes were looking straight ahead, its huge mouth was open and closed, and the ghost fire in his skull cavity was beating wildly, looking extremely excited, as if he had found some prey.
And in front of it, Yan Sanjun and Yan Tianming were coming step by step.
