Chapter 12: The Plateau
Chapter 12 Plateau

I was a little surprised when I heard this, so I asked, "How can the old man's eyes have anything to do with the old ghost?" ”
Bao Ye poked me in the ribs and said, "Didn't I tell you everything, don't make noise, be quiet." I'll just say it bluntly, Old Man Chen's eye was gouged out by the old ghost. ”
"But ......," I said, "why do you gouge out people's eyes, could it be that the old man once chased and killed the old ghost?" ”
"!" Bao Ye said disdainfully: "I think back then, Old Man Chen admired the old ghost quite a lot, although the values of the two of them were different, but Old Man Chen never denied the talent of the old ghost. ”
"And why?" I said.
"The problem lies with Old Man Chen himself, and the bad thing is that he has an eye that makes the old ghost envious." Bao Ye said.
Eyes that make the old ghost envious? I thought about the information about the old ghost and the witchcraft he practiced, and I couldn't help but say, "Is it possible, that old man Chen has a pair of yin and yang eyes?" ”
"Shh Bao Ye reminded me of the volume from time to time and said, "That's right, it's a yin and yang eye." To be honest, in the eyes of our wizards, what yin and yang eyes are actually not much use, put on your body, are you willing to have a yin and yang eyes? ”
I imagined that if I had a yin and yang eye, I would probably see all kinds of lonely ghosts every day, and it would be unbearable. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but shake my head and said, "It's better not to have that kind of thing." ”
Bao Ye nodded desperately and said, "Who said it wasn't, who likes that kind of thing?" Moreover, since we are shamans, if we want to see ghosts, there are countless kinds of strange magic, so why do we have to look at ghosts with yin and yang eyes. However, the old ghost is different from us, and his pursuit is different from us, don't you also know, the old ghost has studied the 'Yin Soldier Ghost Array' for more than 20 years, and it can be said that there are only ghosts and other things left in his eyes. And most ghosts are invisible to the naked eye, and they will only be seen by the naked eye when many specific conditions appear together, which is a great restriction for the old ghost who is a ghost keeper, so he has always dreamed that he can have a yin and yang eye. ”
I listened to all this with wide eyes, and then said, "So to speak, that is, the old ghost caught Old Man Chen, and then gouged out his eyes and transplanted them on his own body?" ”
Bao Ye nodded. As soon as I finished speaking, suddenly, two coughs from the one-eyed old man came from above us, as if to hear our conversation and tell us to be quiet.
Bao Ye listened, then made a grimace at me, squeezed his eyebrows, and then said to me, "It's not early, go to bed quickly." ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The next night, at 8:17 p.m., we set out from the small village.
This time, we all packed our bags, and to my surprise, the one-eyed old man didn't come with us. I originally thought that he had such a deep hatred with the old ghost, and he must have a heart of revenge in his heart, and maybe he would walk with us, so that he could take revenge at the right time.
However, the one-eyed old man did not do this, and although the people of their Nanwu group did not place as much emphasis on discipline as the organization, they were also very aware of their respective tasks. And the one-eyed old man's task is to be an informant here, in his words, if I, Zhang Hefang and the others fail in the end, then, there will be the next batch of Nanwu's people to replace them, and he will not be rash and leave his task position at will.
We packed our bags, walked through the village, and began to make our way into the mountains.
At first, the road under our feet was very gentle, but after about half an hour, the road under our feet suddenly became very steep, which was the junction of the first and second steps, and after this junction, we would enter the plateau.
I wasn't in very good shape, so I'm glad we didn't go to the grand plateau of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, we just wandered around the junction of the second and third steps.
The rocks are rocky, the shadows of the trees are hideous, and in the long darkness of the night, we can't even use a lighting tool like a flashlight. Zhang Hefang is an extremely cautious and cautious person, and he is also afraid that the electric lights will provoke other people.
While following in the footsteps of Zhang Hefang and others, I couldn't help but recall all kinds of things in the past, and I sighed for a while. I think that at the beginning, I went to Yunnan without reason, with a very simple purpose - to welcome the descendants of my father's life-saving benefactor back to the Northeast, but I did not imagine that after experiencing so many things, I have become a part of Nanwu, such a change is so incredible, but when I look back at the previous events, I feel that all this is so logical. Once, I also had a comfortable and comfortable life, although life was not rich, but every day was leisurely and happy, which was really a great thing in life, and now, everything is over.
I'm still wondering, what does that so-called mysterious altar of the ancient Shu Kingdom look like? I've seen the Ghost Gu Underground Palace in Yunnan and the Old Man's Cave in Hubei, those breathtaking secret passages, and those creepy creatures, all of which are vivid in my mind at this moment, so what will that mysterious altar look like?
At this time, we passed through a mountain pass. Zhang Hefang stopped, pointed to the distant mountain in front of us by the moonlight, and said: "After this mountain, it is the plateau area, which used to be the settlement of the ancient Qiang people, and the place we are looking for is there. ”
It's better to talk than to act, we don't have so much nonsense, we just looked up at the shadow in the dark, and then lowered our heads again and walked the road under our feet.
We had just reached the foot of the mountain, but Bu Jin suddenly stopped, and at first I thought she had made some surprising discovery. Based on past experience, in such cases, she usually looks left and right, and may even sniff carefully at a branch. But, this time, she didn't do anything, just stood there suddenly, and then, blankly, lowered her head and looked at her chest.
The other nine of us turned our heads away, and at first glance, several of us couldn't help but frown. I saw that Bu Jin was standing there motionless, but there was a little green light on the chest of her white shirt, and it was still flickering.
Bu Jin took out the Spirit Demon Jade in a daze, and several of us were surprised to find that the Spirit Spirit Demon Jade seemed to be extremely excited at this time.
"What's going on?" I asked, "Could it be that this Spirit Extraction Demon Jade has a reaction to the mysterious altar of the Ancient Shu Kingdom?" ”
I said this in my mouth, but I felt that something was wrong, because, whether we went to the Ghost Gu Dungeon Palace or the Old Man's Cave before, these places were the places where the Wu Sect used to go, but when we were in those places, the Spirit Drawing Demon Jade never glowed for no reason, this time, there must be some other reason.
