Chapter 30: The Hanged Man

"I guess they must have gone to one of the Eighteen Treasures in the Snake Cave of the Stygian Mountain, and they must not let the Eighteen Treasures fall into their hands." I said.

Master Liang still protested: "Is the baby important, or is your life important?" I don't go, whoever you love goes. ā€

"You're not going, okay." I said, "Then I'll kill you right now." ā€

As he spoke, the Yin Slashing Sword was across Master Liang's neck.

Master Liang estimated that he had already been dumbfounded by this, and angrily pushed away my Yin Cutting Sword: "Sue you six words, if you don't die, you won't die." Hmph, why did I follow you stunned. ā€

After saying that, he obediently lay down.

Zhou Changsheng also agreed to catch up, after all, there was something hidden inside, but one of the eighteen treasures kept by their Zhou family was what his grandfather told us to protect.

We chased all the way.

These "people" were not very fast, and I noticed that they seemed to be deaf, and we accidentally made a few big noises during this time, but they couldn't hear them at all.

This way we are much less stressed, and we follow all the way.

The forest here is surprisingly quiet. Except for the sound of the rushing water, all that was left was the breathing of the three of us.

The autumn wind swept away the leaves, and the leaves above the head were almost clean, and the moonlight sprinkled down, and we could clearly track those figures.

Those figures moved forward strangely, and the curiosity in my heart became stronger and stronger.

Zhou Changsheng couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, so he asked Master Liang what he thought of these guys.

Master Liang sighed: "I think they must have been cast evil magic. ā€

There is no doubt about that. The people on both sides of the river have more people who know all kinds of evil arts. Because it is far away from the imperial court, even if a few people are killed, the imperial court will not be able to control it. Moreover, there are more dead people near the Yellow River beach, which is more suitable for the reproduction of evil arts.

I asked Master Liang if he knew what kind of evil art he was accusing of, and Master Liang's head shook like a rattle: "Where do I know where to go?" ā€

Unexpectedly, after we chased for a while, Master Liang suddenly screamed and told us to stop.

I was shocked, and immediately stopped, and asked Master Liang what's wrong?

Master Liang said, "You didn't see it? They're heading in the direction of Mount Hades. ā€

I was shocked, and my heart was really as I expected, these guys were really going to the Underworld Mountain to grab treasures.

I cursed in my heart and sped up to catch up.

Master Liang ran up and hugged the oars and didn't let me row: "You are so crazy, there is only one way to die when you go to the Stygian Mountain at this time." ā€

I said, "Death is death, and the treasure of Panmen must not fall into the hands of the enemy." ā€

"Crazy, crazy, crazy." Master Liang scratched his ears and cheeks: "Why did I meet you stunned?" You stupid, you're going to die. ā€

I didn't pay attention to Master Liang, but I and Zhou Changsheng sped up and chased after him.

Soon, we followed each other to the Stygian Mountain.

From the outside, the mountain is no different from a normal mountain. And this mountain is not high, but it appears in a primeval forest, which looks very weird.

And at the foot of the mountain, a black hole, like a large mouth, seemed ready to devour those who approached at any moment.

The black hole caused me a lot of psychological pressure.

I took a deep breath. Look at the gang in front of you.

Unexpectedly, the group of people did not stop at all, continued to move forward, and finally disappeared into the black cave.

I'm cĒŽo, I'm in big trouble now. Entering the snake cave in the middle of the night, these people really have the guts.

This time I was really scared and didn't dare to chase any further.

Master Liang was already frightened, and tugged at the corner of my clothes: "Little brother, please, go back quickly." If those guys who don't know what to do go in, they will definitely disturb the Yin soldiers. Once the Yin soldiers escape, we will definitely die. ā€

After thinking about it for a while, I also felt that it was really reckless to rush in, so after thinking about it, I finally decided to retreat first. Come back when it's dawn.

I subconsciously felt that the few guys who entered the snake cave in the Stygian Mountain would definitely not survive, and they naturally couldn't take the baby.

Of course, in order to prevent them from taking the treasure away, I decided to wait in a big tree near the entrance of the cave, and if they did take it out, I had to do everything I could to get it back.

Zhou Changsheng also completely agreed with our idea, so we simply climbed the big tree, still taking turns on duty.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a faint voice, which suddenly came from inside the cave.

"Liu Laoshi, you finally came to me, hehe!"

My scalp immediately exploded, and without hesitation, I half-sat up and looked in the direction of the snake cave in the Stygian Mountain.

But the snake cave was quiet and weird, and there was no movement at all.

"Master Liang, Zhou Changsheng, did you two hear it just now?" I asked.

Zhou Changsheng said inexplicably: "What? ā€

"Someone called my grandfather's name." I said, "Didn't you hear? ā€

Master Liang coughed: "You kid misses your grandfather crazy." Do you really think that your grandfather Sailuban is so famous, and the snake cave knows your grandfather's name? ā€

I said, "No, that voice just now is definitely not a hallucination." ā€

"Count." Master Liang gave me a fierce look: "Then you go and ask the snake cave by yourself, I'll sleep first." ā€

Saying that, Master Liang continued to sleep heartlessly.

Zhou Changsheng also patted me on the shoulder: "Okay, maybe it's just an illusion." ā€

I sighed, thinking that might be the case.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I lay down and felt sleepy, the old voice full of vicissitudes exploded in my ears again: "Liu Laoshi, have you finally come to me?" ā€

I'm cĒŽo, what the hell is going on? This time I'm sure the sound is certainly not an illusion.

I had to check it out.

Master Liang and Zhou Changsheng still want to stop me, but this matter is related to my grandfather, and I have to go in and take a look.

I think the other party may have mistaken me for Liu Laoshi, because many people in the village said that I looked exactly like my grandfather when he was young.

Zhou Changsheng finally said to go with me, but Master Liang was helpless, so he had to follow me in.

The closer you get to the entrance of the cave, the more you can feel a cool wind blowing from the cave. The wind smelled of blood and rancidity, and I couldn't help but think about it, could there be rotting corpses in it?

Originally, it was thought that this kind of place should be devoid of grass and without any signs of life.

To our surprise, the aquatic plants near the entrance of the cave were unusually lush. And there are also cheerful fish constantly swimming in the aquatic plants.

There is life alive, and it seems that the environment inside the cave is not as bad as we imagined.

However, just as we were about to enter the snake cave, Master Liang suddenly stopped me: "Don't go in yet." ā€

I hurriedly stopped: "Master Liang, what's the matter?" ā€

"This aquatic weed, and this fish, something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you notice that the aquatic plants here are even more lush than those in the Yellow River? And these fish, bigger than the Yellow River carp? ā€

I nodded, "Well, it's a bit of a thing." ā€

"Do you know why?" Master Liang said.

I shook my head.

At this moment, Zhou Changsheng had already quickly grabbed a fish and threw it on the boat: "It can be used as dry food in the future." ā€

"You eat, I won't eat." Master Liang sneered: "Actually, these fish grew up eating dead human flesh, and these plants also grow by using corpses as fertilizer. ā€

In a word, my scalp was numb, and Zhou Changsheng hurriedly threw the big fish into the river: "No." ā€

Master Liang sneered, and then grabbed a fish, and showed me the big eyes of the fish: "I can see clearly, there is scarlet in the eyeballs of this fish, which is the obvious characteristic of the fish that grew up eating corpses." ā€

I'm convinced of that. I glanced at the dark snake cave again, and knew that it was definitely not peaceful inside, and it was certain that there were corpses.

"To get in?" Zhou Changsheng was a little relentless.

"Enter." I said, "The three of us who are alive are still afraid of the dead?" The corpse is even afraid of fish, not to mention the three of us who are alive. ā€

The arrow is on the string, we have to send, we go all the way.

The snake cave is not small, and we can't reach the top of the boat when we stand on the boat.

The fishy smell in the cave has increased a lot. Originally, I thought that as soon as I entered the cave, I would see carrion, but we walked all the way for thirty or forty meters, and we didn't encounter anything unusual.

It's just that the silence in the cave is really weird and makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Look." Zhou Changsheng immediately stopped paddling and touched my arm with his elbow: "What's that in front?" ā€

I immediately stood up and looked ahead, only to find a dark figure standing not far ahead, looking like a human.

The guy looked very tall, his lower body was submerged in water, and he looked quite a bit taller than a normal person.

I immediately pressed my oars against the mountain walls on both sides and forcibly stopped the boat: "Who is it? ā€

But the other party didn't answer, and he didn't even move.

I didn't dare to rush forward, because the other party's body was too long, and I wondered if it was a person.

"What's that?" I'm in the right way.

"I don't know." Master Liang said: "Do you think it will be a person?" ā€

"People?" Zhou Changsheng said suspiciously: "I've never seen someone so tall." ā€

"Let's go and see." I let Master Liang full of speed, and never took his eyes off the other party.

And when we got close enough, I was surprised to find that it was indeed a person.

The reason why he is so long is because he is hoisted.

Only the part below the knee was buried in the water, and there was a thick rope around his neck that hung from his neck. What is unbelievable is that the skin on his neck has been pulled off due to excessive extension, and the skin and flesh are blurred.

Blood flowed down his neck, staining his shirt red.

His eyes were wide open, scarlet and angry, his mouth open, his tongue drooping.
