Chapter 64: The Mysterious Valley
The so-called weird refers to things that are very suspenseful, very coincidental, very surprising, strange, and confusing. It can also refer to something different. Spooky doesn't just refer to horror, it also refers to something incomprehensible, so don't confuse weirdness with horror.
So, how do you determine if something belongs to the category of weirdness?
Oh, this is actually very easy, to put it bluntly, it is judged according to the subjective consciousness in each person's own mind, and the criterion for judging is whether what happened is consistent with their previous three views and common sense.
So here's the problem.
When I woke up, I suddenly found that overnight, a city suddenly appeared and blocked at the door of my house, can this kind of thing be considered weird? This Nima is scared to pee, okay?
As one of the three Mino people who can stay in Inabayama Castle to guard Saito Yoshiryu, Inaba Ryotsu actually woke up early this morning because he drank a few more drinks last night, well, he was woken up by the cause of a headache after a hangover.
So the depressed fellow went outside, intending to take advantage of the beautiful scenery of nature to cultivate his noble body and mind, and then, when his slightly myopic eyesight swept the river beach below, he saw the terrible things that shook his tiger body, shook two and three times, and finally the whole person was swinging.
A city!
Yes! A humble but absolutely tricky city!
I haven't seen it last night! A city was built overnight? What kind of ruthless man is this!!
He didn't have time to think about it, he stumbled and crawled back, and ran out again after a while. This time, Inaba Ryotsu has an extra specialty from Nanban, a monocular.
Through the telescope's vision bonus, he clearly saw the existence of the city, not some hallucination. The most terrifying thing was that he also saw thousands of soldiers in formation, and the big flags planted here and there in the humble city—two black bars in a circle!
The first bow of Tokaido, the flag seal of Imagawa Yoshimoto!
It's over! Is the strongest daimyo going to take advantage of this opportunity to attack Mino? And didn't you say that Ji Daimyo was already ready to go to Luo? How did you suddenly appear here?!
Because of the backwardness of communication technology, not many people know about the Battle of Barrel Sasama, and they don't know that Imagawa Yoshimoto's Kamiraku plan was forced to be suspended. And one of her courtiers, in order to completely cut off Oda Shinna's hope and back road, has set his eyes on Mino and bared his fangs.
Inaba Ryotsu just collapsed to the ground with weakness, cold sweat, he knew that Mino might be finished, the other party had already successfully built a city in Sumamata, and those who got Sumamata got Mino, this sentence was not empty talk. Moreover, the current Inabayama Castle simply does not have enough troops to fight against it.
The above is the beginning of the story of this day.,But the middle-aged uncle is obviously not attractive.,Let's take a look at the cute girl paper.。
Wise Shibei Mitsuhide, a famous figure in real history, has of course now become a girl. She is now facing what may be the biggest opportunity of her life, and if she succeeds, she will not only be able to rescue Michizo Saito, who is also a teacher and friend to her, but also be able to become famous in one fell swoop!
is no longer the previous young and up-and-coming who was known as both civil and military, but in fact at most just emerged, but a military advisor who was personally named and promoted by a certain big man who created a miracle, and is destined to become a part of the legend......
What a brilliant future!
No, no, if you continue to think like this, you won't be able to hold it! The girl who was radiant and couldn't help but want to show off her skills shook her head violently to dispel the messy associations in her mind, and her long black hair flew in the air.
The next thing is to do what he thinks, Akechi Mitsuhide decided to suppress Inabayama Castle to fight first, give them a little hope, at least force Saito Yoshiryu to return to defense, and then have to seize the opportunity to beat Inabayama Castle to death with a stick before Saito Yoshiryu returns to Sumamata.
"Just do your best, if you really can't do it, stick to this city, send someone back to ask the lord of Imagawa for help, we have already built a good city in Sumamata, such a big advantage is impossible for her to give up! How can more than 3,000 people be able to keep it for four or five days? If it doesn't work well, you can retreat and protect yourself. ”
This is what Pei Chen said at the beginning, but although there is a taste of unconscious strategy, Wise Mitsuhide has subconsciously ignored the content of this sentence, and she is determined to do her best. After all, he now has such a big advantage, if he can still defeat the battle...... Ahem, then there really is nothing to say.
Ordering all the soldiers to set up their positions, the girl's expression became more serious than ever, she took a deep breath, and then ordered to attack Inabayama Castle, intending to first test the approximate strength of the other party, the level of the leader, and the strength that her next plan needs to be adjusted according to the situation.
What's what? You say someone is missing?
Well, that guy has already set out to become the king of the bands on his own with a map and a dream...... Uh, no, it's a journey to find a youkai and a true non-knowing being - yes, Pei Chen went to the nearby valley that is said to be the last of the youkai lair.
Even after thinking that Akechi Mitsuhide might object, he directly explained a few words and left temporarily by himself, and after about an hour, the girl learned that she almost fainted.
Such a guy who has no sense of responsibility and likes to die, can he really live to become an important minister who assists Imagawa Yoshimoto in the future, and may even be a powerful figure in the future? Akechi Mitsuhide expressed deep doubts about this.
As for why Pei Chen went to that place, of course it wasn't for the sake of death. He just had a vague feeling that he had to go and see. I always felt like there was something going on there, in that direction...... Calling yourself?
This is a very mysterious sixth sense, which is commonly known as a flash of inspiration, a whim, and a flash of life...... Uh, sorry, the latter one isn't. Anyway, it was a vague induction, and even Pei Chen was not sure if it was his own delusion.
Still, he felt it was better to go and see it.
It's just that curiosity or something is not a good thing sometimes. After all, everyone has seen that even cats with eight reborn ankhs will die of curiosity, let alone a "weak human" like Pei Chen?
……
……
After more than an hour of rapid travel, Pei Chen came to a very steep and narrow valley, and compared the old map of rough mulberry paper in his hand, he confirmed that it should be here.
“…… It really feels mysterious and weird when you look at it like this! ”
Not really! The valley in front of him seemed to have only a narrow passage to enter, the two walls were towering cliffs, and the mist in the valley was shrouded, and it could even be said that it was haze, so dense that it was almost condensed, so that Pei Chen couldn't see what was inside at all.
After looking around for a while, Pei Chen was finally convinced that this was indeed the battlefield of some terrifying existence. All around were scattered rocks, of different sizes, and the continuous green also disappeared abruptly two or three hundred meters behind him, as if the force of nature was suddenly broken by something on that clearly divided line!
This kind of cavity and depression everywhere, no animals do not grow a single grass, it is like a radiation zone that has been hit by a meteorite rain, except for those demons that are said to be comparable to gods, Pei Chen really can't think of any other reason.
With a strange expression, he raised his head and saluted at the mountain wall above, and after a few minutes, Pei Chen moved his slightly sore neck, and the corners of his eyes twitched wildly.
Nima! So the smooth and flat line of heaven must have been split by some kind of extra-standard organism! It must be!
Moving his gaze down, looking at the deep valley that was shrouded in fog and couldn't see his true face, Pei Chen's heart began to retreat, grass! It's really a good place to kill people and throw corpses! What should I do if Lao Tzu is a little cowardly?
In the distance, in a pile of rubble.
"! Why is someone here again?! Could it be that the news leaked? …… And didn't you kid just say that you didn't notice anyone approaching? A one-eyed dragon angrily slapped a yellow-haired man on the head, scolding.
"But I really didn't see anyone...... said with some grievances, Huang Mao pointed to the thermal imager on the side, the position on the screen was exactly the direction where Pei Chen was, but it was still gray and white and cold, and he didn't see any heat source.
"I'm rubbing! This thing is broken?! The one-eyed dragon widened its only eye, and hurried to check the high-tech equipment produced by the infinite space, there was only one way for them to monitor movements in the valley.
Raising it and turning the camera at an angle, the one-eyed dragon's expression changed, "It's not bad, I can still see those monsters in the valley...... Why can't I reflect the thermal image of that person? Could it be that guy is cold-blooded...... it! ”
"What's wrong?" Huang Mao's expression also became nervous, and he leaned up to look at the display.
"! Why did all those youkai run away?! I couldn't believe it as I watched as the massive red patches in the deep valley that were displayed on the thermal imager quickly disappeared, apparently far away. The one-eyed dragon and the yellow fur were dumbfounded, what was the swelling going on?
They had been guarding here for days, just to wait for the number of inhuman aliens in the valley to be smaller, less, until their small team could bear it, and then sneak in.
However, they took turns squatting for days without waiting for that opportunity, and even narrowly damaged one of their teammates and one of the eyes of the cyclops on two occasions. And now, as soon as that strange guy came over, all those monsters ran away without saying a word?
Do you want to be so domineering?!
There must be something quirky!
Before he had time to think about it, the one-eyed dragon immediately decided to inform his other teammates and get ready to do it, which was a great time.
As for that quirky cold-blooded guy? Who cares? Can't a small team beat him?
……
……
Pei Chen didn't know at all that a certain skill effect that he had been accustomed to was now applied to him by another team of space-time apostles through props, although it was useless. As early as more than a month ago, his body had lost the superfluous function of [dissipating heat].
He was only confused and strange now, for after he had calmed down, he did not feel any unease or danger in the valley in front of him—let me go! How can it be? How can it be said that after his perception and spiritual attributes are combined, he shouldn't be so bad in terms of perception ability?
In this way, there are only two explanations:
First, there is indeed no existence in the valley that can threaten his life, but this is unlikely, right?
There is also a second answer that there are creatures in it whose perceptual and spiritual attributes are far higher than his own, which even suppresses and misleads his perceptual ability!
