Chapter 225: Shu (text)
?? Seeing Meng Changqing ask about this, the shopkeeper said again: "This red water river used to be red every time it rained, but since the establishment of the China Dao Kingdom, the red color has disappeared.??"
I was surprised that the river was turning red, but I wasn't curious, and that's not the point of our visit.
After Meng Changqing finished asking, he lit a few incense sticks around this tomb, and when I saw it, I asked, "Do you want to dig a grave again?" ”
Meng Changqing shook his head and said earnestly: "It's just a test of good luck and evil, it's very weird here, don't move this tomb without permission!" ”
Xiaoxiao and I hummed, and the shopkeeper had nothing to do on the side, and he didn't want to stay in this resentful place, so he said to us, "How long will you have to watch it?" But be sure to walk during the day, in case there are really monsters. ”
During the day, because of the influence of daylight, I couldn't see anything, and I didn't prepare to leave when I came here, Meng Changqing saw that the shopkeeper was really scared, so he asked me to send him out first.
Along the way, I kept observing the terrain, trying to find a decent cemetery, and a person like Yuan Tiangang would definitely not find a well-dressed grave for himself casually.
When he looked around, he also asked the shopkeeper about Yuan Tiangang's grave, he didn't know who Yuan Tiangang was, so naturally he didn't know where his grave was. I had no choice but to give up.
Sent him away, at five o'clock in the afternoon, I took advantage of some residual light to return to the mountain forest, the sky outside the mountain forest is still bright, in the mountain forest, under the shade of the trees, the light transmission is very poor, I can only barely see the road under my feet.
When I was still thousands of meters away from the ridge, a shadow suddenly flashed on the side of my body, and I smiled slightly when I saw it, ignoring it.
The black shadow thought I hadn't seen it, so it flashed directly behind the trunk of a huge tree in front of me, and I ignored it, pretending not to see him, and he walked over.
As soon as he passed, he danced behind me, and it looked like a kind of dance, and as he danced, a gust of wind blew from his mouth at the same time, and the fire on my head was lowered to a very low level.
"Just see what you want to do!" I thought to myself, and cooperated with him to lower my own flame.
When he saw that my flame had decreased, he flashed to a slope in front of me, sat down on a stone, took out a smoking gun, loaded it with tobacco and smoked a dry cigarette, and it was very strange that he really spit out some white smoke.
I looked at this person's face, about seventy years old, and the clothes on his body were all disguised, and I couldn't tell what clothes he was wearing.
After looking at him from a distance, he came up with some basic information, and then approached him and asked, "Old man, why are you here alone?" ”
He is sitting here in a high-profile manner, naturally he wants me to see him, since he is acting, he has to play a full set.
When the old ghost saw me talking to him, he grinned and replied, "My house is here, young man is late, why are you still in this woods?" ”
"I'm lost." I looked bitter and asked, "It's dark and the road is slippery, and the forest road is very tortuous, is your house here, old man?" I want to go to your house to ask for a rest, I don't live in vain, I will pay you for accommodation. ”
After hearing this, the old ghost pulled out the cigarette gun in his mouth, looked at me with a smile on his face and said: "When you go out, who has no difficulty, even if the young man lives, I just want to go back, let's go together!" ”
He thanked the old ghost, and walked with him to the house where he was talking.
After walking about 200 meters above the mountain, the old man pointed to a house made of Tsubaki trees in front of him and said, "That's it." ”
To the naked eye, there is indeed a house there, but when you look at it, it is just a wasteland, and there is a hole in the ground about half a meter in diameter.
After looking at it for a while, in order not to arouse suspicion, he walked with him into the so-called room.
When I entered the house, I sat on the floor, and in his mouth I sat on a chair.
I didn't care about these details, and after sitting down, I asked, "Why do you live here alone, old man?" ”
"It's chaotic and noisy outside, but it's quieter here."
"There is no farmland, no water here, what are you going to eat and drink?" I asked.
The old man smiled, did not answer the question, and then took out the cigarette gun on his waist, loaded it with a tobacco tobacco, took a puff, and said: "This cigarette gun was brought by a person who passed by last time and asked me to spend the night." Do you suck or not? ”
The old ghost handed me the cigarette gun, and I hesitated for a moment, then took the cigarette and took a sip of it.
A puff of smoke entered my lungs, and I immediately sensed that something was wrong, it was not smoke at all, but untreated incense.
People eat, ghosts smell incense.
This incense passed his treatment, and as soon as I inhaled it, my head became confused, and I secretly said: "It's over, it's over!" ”
Knowing that he had bad intentions, I thought he would use his upper body, hit the wall and other means, but I didn't expect to use this kind of thing, and after thinking about it a few times, my head fell into dizziness.
Fortunately, the evil qi in the body protected Sanhua and did not let the smoke melt into the three souls, although he couldn't move for the time being, he could feel what was happening outside.
"Eat, eat!" The old ghost said, and then I felt someone carrying me forward.
After moving about a few tens of meters, an extremely strong smell of blood began to stimulate my god, in addition to the smell of blood, there was also an extremely strong death gas.
Smelling this, I thought to myself, "Could it be that you dragged me to the grave?" ”
It didn't take long for this thought to come to mind when he felt a corpse breath coming from beside him.
I opened my eyes suddenly, only to see that it was dark in front of me, and I couldn't see my fingers, but I could feel that the two guys around me were exuding corpse energy.
"Zombies!"
I temporarily positioned these two guys as zombies, and I wanted to take them down first, but when I saw that they didn't have killing intent towards me, I stopped, these two people are not ordinary zombies, because zombies are inhuman, and it is impossible to endure such a journey.
Letting the two guys carry me forward, I quietly reached out and felt it, and realized that they were carrying me forward in a small hole, most likely the one I had seen outside.
After about five minutes and several forks in the road, I saw some fire ahead.
Seeing the firelight, there was no need to let them serve me, so I silently recited the immobilization spell to see if they were zombies, and if so, I couldn't nail them.
But what I didn't expect was that after reciting the immobilization mantra once, it really fixed them.
He took them aside and groped his way along the cave, and when he reached the entrance of the cave, he heard the sound of a search in front of him.
I was just about to look at it, but the voice suddenly became eerily quiet.
"Discovered?" I think I've been careful enough.
Just as he was about to probe out again, he felt a dark shadow standing behind him, turned his head suddenly, and was almost frightened.
Standing behind me was the corpse sealed in the wall, and when he saw that I cracked his teeth, I directly pulled out the money sword and stuck it in his mouth, and by the way, I took out a talisman and stuck it on his forehead.
But it doesn't work at all, the runes on his body are much more useful than mine, and now he is basically immune to runes.
This damn man was so angry that he almost didn't push me down!
"Hah!"
It took less than three seconds for the talisman on his forehead to fall to the ground, and let out a roar when it fell.
When this voice sounded, the cave immediately boiled, and countless figures rushed towards this side in the firelight.
When I saw this, I cursed secretly, and I didn't care about this dead man, and immediately followed the way I came.
But it was so dark and dark that I couldn't see the road at all, and I didn't have a long time to walk through the hole, and then I lost my sense of direction, and finally I had no rut, so I could only walk in it randomly.
This should be in the Panlong Mountain Mountains, I didn't expect it to be so complicated, and there are still creatures in it.
Judging from the shadows just now, there are at least dozens of people.
After walking through the cave for a while, the diameter of the hole began to slowly increase, and finally it stopped in a large dome hole, and because the visibility was not high, a few pieces of rune paper were ignited.
The firelight illuminated this place, and when I saw the sight in front of me, I was dumbfounded, and in front of me, there were piles of corroded soldiers, but next to this soldier, there were piles of corpses, no, they should be bones!
It was as if the bones had been piled up into a hill, and the bones were scattered everywhere.
Next to these bones, there are also a lot of flags, and the flags are embroidered with the word 'Shu'.
Seeing this, the rune paper had just been burned, and then I ordered a few more, walked to the cave wall and looked at it, and was surprised to find that there were countless runes painted on it, which seemed to be the same door as those runes in the farmhouse.
I walked around the big hole with the talisman paper, and found that the walls of the big cave were all painted with talismans, extending to the top.
After walking around, next to this pile of bones, I found another small pile of bones, these bones were extremely messy, and next to the bones, there were clothes from various dynasties and generations.
I stooped down to examine the bones, picked up some and looked at them, and when I saw them, I was so frightened that I threw them away.
These bones have all been cooked, and the fractures of the bones are so neat that they have been cut with sharp weapons.
"These people were actually boiled and eaten."
That's what I came up with, and I couldn't help but think of the old ghost outside who said, 'Eat, eat, eat', and if I hadn't woken up halfway, I'd probably be boiling and eating it now.
According to Xiaoxiao, these runes are the predecessor of Zhengyi runes, and naturally they also belong to Taoism, and these runes are sealed.
In other words, this place is used by the Daomen to seal others?
looked at the flags with Shu written on them and those soldiers, as well as the corpses piled up into a hill, and seemed to understand something.
This is a struggle between the Daomen and a country or organization related to 'Shu', and the country or organization related to 'Shu' was defeated and sealed here by the Daomen.
The figures I saw earlier are the ones who have been sealed up here and are not dead?
However, all these years have passed, and they shouldn't be still alive.
Looking at these things, I made a guess again.
After those who belonged to Shu were sealed here, people gradually died, but some of them had an accident and did not die, but opened a passage to the place where I went before, and for so many years, they survived by eating the flesh of outsiders.
