Chapter 35: Guan Ziling

Regarding all the speculations about the camel Laosi, I finally agree with Cassia Nian's statement. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although I don't know what the facts are, Cassia is the only one that can be explained at present.

As for the Dushan side, what is the situation now. We never heard from it again. Except for the other day, I heard from the guys at the Yunnan Inn. Recently, many soldiers have come up from the mountain, but they have disappeared during the day, and at night, they will pull things down the mountain one by one.

At that time, I asked him, do you know what is in the car?

The guy shook his head and said, it was too far away, and it was dark and it was dark that the things in the car couldn't be seen clearly. Although he was curious, in this era, more things are better than less, so he didn't ask more.

I pondered in my heart, although I couldn't be sure what was on the car, but I was sure that those people were definitely the people of Zhang Da's housekeeper.

But now, it doesn't have anything to do with us. I don't want to mention the matter between Steward Zhang and Liu Wanshan. The only thing I'm worried about now is, where exactly did Master go? It's been half a month, and Master still hasn't heard any news.

In this way, we waited until mid-May, and just as Cassia and I were doing everything possible to inquire about Master's news, Master suddenly returned. But just after the reunion dinner that day, before I could say a few words, in the evening, Master suddenly called Cassia and me over.

I said in my heart that I would like to take this opportunity to ask about the things I have not figured out in the past few days. But before I could open my mouth, Master suddenly told us that he was going on a long trip.

I was about to say something when I choked in my throat. I don't understand, Master, what's going on? Didn't you just come back? Why do you want to go out again?

The master didn't explain much, only said that this time the journey was long and would take at least a month, so he asked Cassia to go with him. Someone in the shop had to take care of me, and I had just recovered from my illness, so Master told me to stay and take care of the shop.

At this moment, even though I have ten thousand unwillingness in my heart, what Master has already decided, I say nothing will help. Cassia didn't ask much, knowing that the master was in a hurry, so he hurriedly went back to pack his luggage.

There were only two people left in the room, Master and I. If, in normal times, with my character, Master had asked me to stay here alone, then I would never have agreed, and maybe there would have been a big fuss. It may not work, but I'm certainly not going to compromise easily.

"It's okay to let me stay, but I have a few questions for Master, anyway, I should have some right to know."

When I said this, Master's expression was a little hesitant, but he nodded and acquiesced to my statement.

"What do you want to ask? I can tell you up front, don't get your hopes up. There are some things I don't understand. ”

Hearing Master say this, I have a bottom in my heart. As long as Master is willing to speak, I am not afraid that I will not be able to ask what I want to know. I gathered my thoughts a little and wondered which question to start with? is usually full of questions, but now when it comes to a critical moment, I suddenly don't know where to start.

"Who is that guard? Master, did you know him before? I asked tentatively. The reason why I chose these two questions is because almost all the doubts in my mind are extended around these two questions.

Master sighed and said, "I knew you were going to ask this question, but it's a bit complicated to say, and you probably won't believe it." ”

I said not necessarily, as long as you say it, should you believe that I know it.

Seeing that I had made up my mind, Master took a sip of tea and said slowly, "This matter starts thirteen years ago."

Thirteen years ago, there was a riot of yellow bandits in Nanyang. At that time, most of Nanyang was already controlled by the Yellow Bandits, and in order to escape the war, Master followed the crowd fleeing all the way south, and finally went to Yizhou Qike County, so he did not continue to go south. Because of his medical skills, the master quickly gained a firm foothold in the local area and became famous.

But the good times didn't last long, and within a month, trouble came to the door. At that time, Master lived in Tanzhi County in the lower reaches of the Beipan River, and dozens of miles away from the Beipan River, there was a Guanziling.

Guanziling is a forbidden place for everyone to talk about in the local area, and the locals call it "Ghost King Ridge". According to locals, the royal capital of the Yelang Kingdom, which was once glorious during the Qin and Han dynasties, was near Guanziling. During the reign of Emperor Cheng, King Yelang led the people to rebel, and after being destroyed by the Han envoy Chen Li, the original territory of Yelang was placed as Yelang County. But according to the local Yi people, since the fall of the Yelang Kingdom, the vicinity of Guanziling has become haunted, and even the old hunters among the Yi people dare not go up the mountain alone. Over time, Guanziling has become the "Ghost King Ridge" of the local population.

Less than a month after Master came to Tanzhi County, someone came to the door and asked Master to go to Guan Ziling to be their team doctor. As for why Master didn't refuse at that time? Master said that those people had a very deep background, and he had just arrived in Qiqi County at that time, and he was not familiar with the place, so he couldn't help but refuse if he wanted to.

In this way, in desperation, the master went to Guanziling with them. Guan Ziling is described by the locals as a deserted place infested with evil spirits. Master followed those people, and there was indeed no figure in the first few hills, and the whole mountain was deserted. But after walking through about four or five hills, what appeared in front of Master's eyes was a different scene.

I saw a large rest camp appear between the mountains, all gray marching tents, neatly arranged under an extremely hidden hillside. There is constant smoke in the camp, and people come and go, and there is no appearance of "Ghost King Ridge" at all. Master said strangely, why are so many people living here all of a sudden? Why haven't you heard of it before? But upon entering the camp, Master found that the actual situation in the camp was not what he believed.

Master said that when he first entered the camp, what impressed him the most was the smell that permeated the camp. I asked Master, what kind of flavor did it taste like? The master seemed to recall the worst part, and before he could speak, his brows furrowed.

It was a strange smell that resembled the smell of corpse and blood, as well as an unknown strong sour odor. So much so that when Guan Ziling is mentioned now, the first thing that comes to Master's mind is still that stench.

When Master was led to a shady tent and saw what was going on inside it, he understood where the stench came from and what the men had told him to go up the mountain. There is a simple layer of straw mats in the tent, and there are more than a dozen young men lying on the straw mats, looking at the clothes, they seem to be local Yi people. And that stench is coming from these people.

At that time, the master only glanced at them, and could tell that at least half of them were dead, and the remaining few were also in a state of mishap, and they would definitely not last for an hour. These people, without exception, are covered in a layer of transparent mucus all over their bodies, and through the wrapping layer of mucus, it can be seen that several people's bodies are undergoing a strange change. The scene was almost indescribable, and their bodies seemed to be being digested by this slime.
