Chapter 34: Parting Ways
This time, the old Taoist priest didn't answer me, he turned around and looked at Cousin Li Xue, "How did you get here, from Yangqu Village?" ”
"This cave leads to Yangqu Village?"
The old Taoist priest nodded slightly, "There are two roads in this cave, one side leads to Yangqu Village, and the other side leads to the bottom of the mountain, now Yangqu Village has become a dead man's village, let's go down the mountain together first, and discuss how to deal with that killing god." ”
"There are a lot of snakes in the back, and we can't go back."
The old Taoist priest smiled slightly, "These snakes were also left by those Maoshan mountains, and now that I have unsealed them, they are naturally not a problem." ”
Before we could speak, Wang Li stepped forward, "Then, our safety will be in your hands." ”
Wang Li also winked at the old Taoist priest twice when he spoke, his face was full of amorousness, and it looked as if the other party was her lover, not a ghost who had been dead for many years.
I felt a little sick in my heart, but when I thought about it, I couldn't blame her, after all, the three of them came here together, and in the blink of an eye, three of them had died, including her boyfriend.
Now she uses the advantages of her body in exchange for her life, which is also human nature.
I said to the old Taoist priest, "I'm sorry, we still have some things to do when we go to Yangqu Village, I'm afraid we can't go back with you for the time being." ”
"It's a dead man's village, are you sure you want to go?"
"Hmm." I nodded vigorously.
On the sketch drawn by Yu Yang, Wang Yu's body is not far from Yangqu Village, because of the rain before, many mountain roads have been washed away, and we are worried that we will not be able to go up the mountain, but we didn't expect this cave to be able to go straight there.
"It's okay, with this little brother of Longhu Mountain, there is still no problem with ensuring that you are thorough, as for this stone stele, it is a piece of foreboding, and when you go out, you can find a place to lose it."
"Thank you, senior."
After a few more words, the old Taoist priest said, "Since we have different paths, then let's separate." ”
Wang Li saw that the old Taoist priest was leaving, and his face showed an anxious look, "Senior, we, we don't go with them to that dead man's village, can you take us back." ”
"You're not together?"
"No, we just met at the bottom of the mountain, and we don't know each other at all." Wang Li's head shook like a rattle, and his feet were a few steps away from us.
Wang Li's appearance made Li Xue couldn't help but say, "If you don't go, you won't go, can you break off the relationship with us?" My cousin really saved you in vain! ”
The opportunity to go back is just around the corner, and Wang Li is not the kind of good man and woman, "If it weren't for you, that female ghost would have run away?" ”
"You ......"
Li Xue's cousin stopped Li Xue from continuing, "Now is not the time to argue about this, if you are willing to go up the mountain with us, go together, and if you go back, then go back with this old-timer." ”
The final result was that Wang Li definitely wanted to go back, and Geng Wei and Zhang Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment and chose to go back.
They and we are just meeting each other, and after so many people have died, there is really no reason to follow us.
There were six people at the entrance to the cave, and in the blink of an eye it was just the three of us.
Looking at the front of the black hole, Cousin Li Xue sighed, "Let's go too, but I don't know how long this hole is." ”
Along the way, Li Xue was still there indignant, "That Wang Li is shameless, I didn't expect there to be such a person in this world, Zhang Xin, why did you stop me just now, or I have to scold her to death!" ”
Cousin Li Xue shook his head, "Xue'er, you are so old, and your temper hasn't changed at all, why should you be angry with a dead person?" ”
"Dead people?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Li Xue and I both stayed there.
"To be precise, it's a person who is about to die, I paid special attention to it just now, there is some black gas entanglement on Wang Li's face, even if he goes back with that old-timer this time, he won't live long."
"Then why didn't you tell her?"
Li Xue's cousin said, "Tell her that she is also dead, rather than letting her finish the last journey of her life in fear, it is better to be a good person and not tell her." ”
At this time, Li Xue's anger also subsided, "Hey, Zhang Xin, are you still justified in saying this?" ”
"How can there be ......?"
Watching them bicker, I didn't have any urge to speak, and I kept thinking about the actions of the old Taoist priest before.
Is he really as he said, he was mistakenly pressed here by the disciples of Maoshan Mountain, and this time the unsealing was just to prevent the birth of the killing god?
And the ancient text on the stone tablet is obviously not from our time.
This matter is certainly not that simple.
This cave was unexpectedly long, and in addition to the dampness and coldness in the cave, Li Xue and I had more and more difficulty walking, and in the end, it was almost Li Xue's cousin who carried us along.
After a few breaks, the ground under my feet turned from sand to stone, and I even saw several insects crawling on the side several times.
This is good news, there are living creatures, proof that we are getting closer and closer to the exit.
Finally, when we were exhausted, the hole appeared in front of us.
It should be daytime, and the sunlight is shining in from outside the cave entrance, and the cold feeling that has been felt before has vanished, replaced by a warmth.
If we go on in this kind of ghost place, I guess even if we don't die of exhaustion, we will all get mental illness.
The entrance of the cave was above, not high, about one meter to two, and Cousin Li Xue climbed up first, and then pulled me and Li Xue up.
"Finally out of that hellish place!"
We should have arrived at Sukou Mountain.
After seeing the light of day, everyone's faces were filled with joy, but the joy in our hearts did not last long when we saw a small village faintly appear in the place sheltered by the trees in front of us.
"Is that Yangqu Village?"
Cousin Li Xue nodded, "It seems that it should be." ”
"But why is this village built on the hill instead of the bottom of the mountain, so that their daily life is not very inconvenient?"
"I don't know, it should have something to do with that fierce god, this village is too weird, let's not go in yet, let's go directly to Wang Yu's body!"
Li Xue's cousin's words were agreed by Li Xue, and just when they were about to leave, they found that they didn't say a word to me on the side.
Li Xue touched me strangely, "Xiaorou, what are you thinking, we should go." ”
After a moment of silence, I said, "I want to go into the village and have a look, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
"Into the village?"
"Well, I don't know why, after coming here, I have a very strange sense of familiarity, as if I have seen every grass and tree here."
"Impossible, right? This is the village of the dead. ”
"I don't know, let's go in and have a look, I always feel that there is something important in this village, and if I don't go, I will regret it."
Cousin Li Xue looked at me puzzled, and said after a long time: "Okay, let's go in for a while, you two follow behind me, if there is anything wrong, retreat immediately." ”
The place where we stood was still some distance from the village, and many places on the mountain were stuffed because of the previous rainstorm.
Originally, we all thought that it would take some time to walk through.
But I really felt like I had been here, and with their puzzled expressions, I led them straight to the side path, which, if I remember correctly, should lead straight to the village.
Looking at my familiar appearance, Li Xue couldn't help but ask, "Xiaorou, shouldn't you have lived in this Yangqu Village when you were a child?" ”
Childhood?
I shook my head, "I'm sure I haven't been here, I don't understand why I knew this way!" ”
The distance was not too far, only ten minutes or so, and we had already walked to the front of the village, which from the outside looked like it was not unusual as we usually saw.
It's just that......
The village was so quiet, there were no birds, no dogs barking, not the slightest sound, as if we had stepped into a silent world.
A depressing atmosphere slowly spread among the three of us.
At the entrance of the village, a large bluestone slab was erected, and a few words were scribbled on the slate, "Yangqu Village." ”
