Chapter 7: The Legend of Guarding the Tomb
Brother Yang and I carried heavy travel bags on our backs and walked slowly up the mountain. At this time, Jiulong Mountain is extremely pure, if it is not for the mysterious legend behind it that makes people alienated, it is really a paradise far away from the world, with strange flowers and plants, and many rare birds and beasts.
Brother Yang and I walked while admiring every scenery in front of us, and what was surprising was that the entire Tushan Mountain Range was like a giant python, winding and hovering among the Bailongling and other eight giant peaks.
It is like a beautiful woman who has just come out of the bath, lying in the sun under nature, and every inch of its land has to be amazed, and sometimes there are some small ponds in front of you.
The pond is covered with moss and aquatic plants, and from time to time you can see some strange wild fish chasing and playing. And look up, there are huge ancient trees in the sky, blocking the wind and the sun.
is also competing with each other for the sunshine of nature, Brother Yang is talking about the old past of Jiulong Mountain while walking. Legend has it that a long time ago, there was an ancient temple on Jiulong Mountain, and the front of the temple was guarded by the statues of the four sacred beasts.
I don't know for what reason, then the temple suddenly disappeared, and the four divine beasts that were used to the prosperity of incense in the past have wandered around Jiulong Mountain since then, and it happens that there are often people sweeping the tomb of the young general, so some sacrificial incense is indispensable, so the four divine beasts often appear around the general's tomb.
Later, someone suddenly offended the general's tomb and prepared to rob the tomb to take the treasure, but unfortunately it was discovered by Suzaku, one of the four divine beasts, and Suzaku took which tomb robber to the opposite Dragon Mountain.
Legend has it that there is a giant python on the Dragon Mountain, and it is said that the giant python is also the soul of one of the tomb keepers, and on that day, the giant python suddenly found a sleeping tomb robber on the way down the mountain. After turning into human form, he woke him up and asked him why.
The python brought the tomb robber into the ancient tomb, and the insatiable tomb robber thought that he had met his peers, so he did not vomit unpleasantly and said the words hidden in the bottom of his heart, and at this time the python was trying his best to punish the tomb robber.
Later, he followed the python to the tomb, and it was not clear what they saw in the tomb, but the most obvious thing was that after the tomb robbers came out of the general's tomb, they came back to warn their peers! Only then did the general's tomb escape a group of thieves.
The first thing the tomb robbers did when they got home was to keep saying, "The general has appeared!" The Major General did not die, but lived in another place, and in his tomb, there lived thousands of officers and soldiers, and you must not steal them.
On Hulong Mountain, there are also his cronies' troops living there, and whoever steals the general's tomb will kill him! The reason why I came out alive is to warn my friends! When the notice arrives, I will go back to follow the Major General.
But people thought he was drunk and crazy, so they didn't care what he said! But strange things happened, and that same night, his family found out that he was dead!
And the head doesn't know where it went? Later, the whole village helped to find his head, and then someone remembered that he had said that he would go back and follow the young general.
I thought of Jiulong Mountain, when there were a few bold young people in the village, I went to Jiulong Mountain with the mentality of trying to find it, and it was strange to say that it was a vacant lot on Jiulong Mountain.
They found a stone tablet on top of which was the head of the tomb robber. The blood flowed and stained the entire inscription red!
When they looked at the inscription more closely, they found that the trespasser was dead, and several large characters were shining bloodily, which turned out to be a cursed stone tablet when the young general was buried.
Later, the young men ran back to their homes and told their families everything they saw, and no one dared to go to Jiulong Mountain again.
But the deceased's family did not find the head, so the deceased was not buried, and the body was left like this for several days, and then the deceased's wife had a strange dream, in which his husband told her that he would kill his hound and bury the dog's head together.
Things have passed like this for more than ten years, and suddenly one day, several explorers from Japan, heard this bizarre story, and went up to Jiulong Mountain in disbelief, to find out the truth, unfortunately, three people went up, and finally only one came back.
According to him: When the three of them reached the halfway point of Jiulong Mountain, a monster attacked them, and they thought it was an animal like a monkey, so they didn't care so much.
As they climbed up to the top of the mountain, a strange man with the head of a human dog appeared in front of them and advised them to come down the mountain.
Later, he continued to walk up the mountain, and when he was about to reach the top of the Dragon Protection Mountain, a person with a dog-headed body appeared again, and there was a man in white beside him, and three young people were about to come forward to talk!
But the kobold ignored them! Instead, he nodded to the man in white next to him, and the man in white looked at them! Then he jumped up and immediately turned into a giant python, swallowing two of them in one bite.
Which one survived, he was suddenly frightened and unconscious, and when he woke up! I saw that the monster with the head of a dog was sitting next to him, and then said to him: I have warned you a long time ago! I told you not to come up, and you did not believe? Now get back in here and tell everyone that this is a forbidden place.
Just hearing it scared out of a cold sweat, I immediately interrupted Brother Yang's words and asked: Isn't that inscription the one that Datou saw that night? But we don't see any kobolds, do we?
Did you think we'd meet today? Brother Yang glanced at me, and then said: I don't want to bump into it, so let's hurry up, and immediately go down the mountain after finding the soul return leaf, this is not a place for people to stay at all, I nodded and continued to walk forward.
At this time, we were almost at the top of the mountain, and suddenly, we felt that the whole Jiulong Mountain was gloomy and extremely terrifying, and we couldn't feel the daytime atmosphere at all, and we could hear the cries of insects and birds in the middle of the mountain.
The strange thing is that when we go to the top of the mountain, it is extremely quiet, so quiet that there is an indescribable terrifying atmosphere, and Brother Yang held the gun that the third uncle gave him tightly in his hand, and when we arrived at the open space, we reflexively looked at the same time.
I always felt that Brother Yang said which bloody human head was still eye-catching on it, thinking about it, I couldn't help but shiver, at this time, Brother Yang pulled me and said: Let's go! What do you see?
I looked back at Brother Yang! Then he said softly to him: Didn't you find any stone tablet very strange? It looks like a pair of eyes are staring at us! Brother Yang turned to look at the stone tablet, and then said: Don't you scare yourself? What eyes are there, I think you're thinking too much!
As we spoke, we left the clearing and began to walk towards the Dragon Protector Mountain, and at this time, Brother Yang had already entered into fear, as if he was waiting for something to happen.
At this moment, Brother Yang's mobile phone rang! only heard a clear female voice, Brother Yang threw away the gun in his hand, sat on the ground with a man on his face, and was looking for the source of the sound everywhere.
And I pointed to his trouser pocket angrily and funny, and then he reacted, and immediately wiped Han and said: I'm scared to death! Then he took out his phone and hung it up and said: Who the fuck is this? Sooner or later, no sooner? Not at this time?
I didn't take a few steps forward before my phone rang again! He didn't plan to pick it up, but I thought that it should be the third uncle and Boss Chen, they were worried about us so they wanted to ask about the situation, so they reminded Brother Yang.
At this time, Brother Yang took out his mobile phone and answered: "Hey" What's wrong! It seems that it was really the third uncle calling, and I didn't have time to listen to their gossip, but I just concentrated on paying attention to every place, for fear of a sudden attack on the giant python and kobold.
After a while, Brother Yang hung up the phone and said to me: Zijie, your third uncle told us not to go to Hulong Mountain, he said that he was afraid of the kobold and the giant python on the mountain, so he asked us to look for it on other mountains.
I looked around and felt that there was nothing different, so I said to Brother Yang: I still have to go to Hulong Mountain, what are you afraid of in broad daylight? Brother Yang walked up to me and whispered: That legend is true, and which tomb robber Boss Chen also knows.
I was startled at first, but quickly calmed down and said, "How is that possible?" If he knew, he would have told us a long time ago! Why do you say it now? If you're scared, I'll go alone.
Brother Yang saw that he couldn't screw me, so he agreed to accompany me on Hulong Mountain, we continued to walk along a stone road, and there was a big road that looked like an artificial construction without going far, with a width of more than two meters, all of which were artificially polished bluestone slabs, and there was a broken road protection wall on the side.
It seems that a long time ago, this place was not what it is now, and it should have been very lively. I asked Brother Yang, do you know the origin of this road? Brother Yang looked up at the top of the mountain and said, "This is the temple I mentioned to you just now."
