All Chapters_Chapter 270: On the Qingshen Peak
I don't know if it's because of the spirit corpses of the Goki people before, this mountain forest is dead, there is not a single bird call along the way, there is not a trace of insect chirping, let alone the animals walking through the forest, even the lush trees growing around have a trace of death. It doesn't seem to be a paradise of life, but more like a forbidden area for death.
"Girl, wait a minute, stay away from those people, especially the middle-aged man." I whispered to Xia Wu, a little worried that Wang Zhihai would really take risks for the sake of the real dragon as Xue'er said, I am not afraid, but if Xia Wu is hurt, it will not be good.
Xia Wu replied softly with a red face, her eyes were rolling at the moment, and her gaze at me seemed to be a little different from before, making me look very embarrassed.
In order to divert attention, I asked, "By the way, what did that Zhou Tianjia do to you, is it witchcraft?" ”
Speaking of which, I'm still quite worried, after all, witchcraft is such a strange and anomalous thing, and there are many kinds of it, and for us laymen, it is very complicated and difficult to understand.
Xia Wu blinked her eyes wide, and after a while, she stammered, "I...... I don't know, just once...... She forced me to eat it...... A strange plant, and then with its own blood...... Something was drawn on my head, and then it was read to me...... I recited a lot of strange mantras, and then I felt my body ...... Something strange seems to have been drilled into it...... Strange stuff, I couldn't find it myself. I...... I'm so scared. ”
Xia Wu hugged me tightly as she spoke, and the soft feeling instantly spread throughout her body. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, although I felt that it was not good to be like this now, but seeing her scared and timid appearance, it was not good to push her away.
I stopped, reached out and wiped the bangs off Xia Wu's forehead, and sure enough, I saw a blood-colored pattern the size of a small thumb on her smooth forehead. It's supposed to be a few weird characters, so complicated that I can't tell what it is.
asked Xue'er in his heart, "Xue'er, do you know what this witchcraft Xia Wu said?" And this pattern on her forehead. ”
After a while, Xue'er replied faintly: "There are many types of witchcraft, especially since each nation has its own unique magic. However, smearing the recipient's body with his own blood is usually either a curse or a control spell. Her current appearance doesn't look like she is being controlled, so it should be that woman who put some kind of curse on this Xia Wu in order to leave a way back for herself, I suggest that you leave this thing alone, or go to Qingshen Peak to ask the other Zhou family members, or wait until you go back and ask that woman. ”
I nodded, took my hand back, and my fingers touched Xia Wu's soft cheeks as I retreated, and my heart suddenly rippled. And the girl in front of me was even more crimson with her cheeks and her eyes looking at me in confusion.
I instantly had a cold war, and some thoughts in my mind were driven out, but I had already said that to Mu Yueting on the top of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, and now I can't have other thoughts.
"Let's go, try to get to that Qingshen Peak today!" I saw that Wang Zhihai and the three of them were about to walk behind us, so I said to Xia Wu and continued to hurry with her.
Xia Wu agreed, but there seemed to be a flash of disappointment in her eyes, and her face was aggrieved, looking very cute.
It was already afternoon when we entered the forest yesterday, so we had to spend the night in the forest. Today, the sun was just right and there was plenty of time, so we moved a lot faster, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, we finally entered the range of Qingshen Peak.
As we climbed to the top, so did our surroundings. In addition to the animal traces that disappeared in the first place, even the trees and vegetation that had been thriving began to wither as the altitude increased. This scene is like a wild beast on the top of the mountain constantly absorbing the power of life, and it always makes me feel a little palpitation.
Roar!
The little white dragon didn't know when he got out of the cloth bag on his body, grinning in the direction of the top of the mountain. There seemed to be something there that made him feel threatened.
"Brother Chen, the situation here is really weird, if nothing else, the top of the mountain is where the Zhou family's holy land is located, there must be a very big threat there. I don't know exactly what you're going to do up there, but are you really sure you want to go on now? ”
I was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Junhui and Liu Ting behind me, the two of them were also a little unhappy on their faces, after all, as long as they found Xia Wu and escorted her to Chengdu to the Japanese government's envoy, their mission would have been completed. But now they are being dragged by me to take risks, which is really unhappy for them.
I sighed, thinking of the white stone I had seen six years ago, and the kind of attraction it had given me, and I said categorically, "Whatever the danger up there, I must go this time, and if you don't want to take the risk, you can leave now." ”
Wang Zhihai and the others glanced at each other, but finally did not answer, and continued to climb up behind us.
As the mountain road became more and more rugged, some bone fragments appeared on the ground around it, and even a piece of animal skeletons could be seen in the back, these skeletons did not know how many years they had existed, but they were extremely intact and not a trace of damage. It seems that they were killed in an instant by a terrible force before they were alive, without any chance of struggle or resistance.
The more I went up, the more depressed I felt in my heart, and not only did I feel this way, but Xia Wu on the side also leaned towards me nervously.
Finally, after about ten minutes, an extremely flat area finally appeared in front of our eyes.
There are also several strangely shaped buildings on this flat land, which are made of stone and wood, and this seems to be the earliest house of the Goki people. In the middle of the whole flat land, there is an extremely large stone house, similar to the style of other houses, but the whole body is made of huge stones, four or five meters high, and I don't know how big it is, but it looks a little majestic.
Moo!
The little dragon suddenly soared from my body, levitating in mid-air, and made a high-pitched and clear voice towards the huge stone house, but I seemed to hear a hint of sadness from it.
I pulled out the evil sword behind me and looked ahead vigilantly. And Wang Zhihai and others behind me also took out the matching guns on their bodies one after another and pointed forward. Especially Wang Zhihai, because he was standing behind me, the gun in his hand intentionally or unintentionally pointed in the direction of my back and head, which scared me into a chill in my back.
Just when I was extra vigilant about Wang Zhihai in my heart, there was finally movement in the huge stone house.
A tall and strong figure walked out of the stone house, he was burly, his body was simply covered by a tattered animal skin, and the muscles of the exposed parts were high and bulging, like small hills, and his whole body was full of wild atmosphere.
The little dragon's body suddenly trembled a little, and he let out a low moan in front of him.
The others and I were stunned for a moment, looking ahead in disbelief, and what we were looking at was not the barbarian man, but the huge skeleton behind him.
Bang bang bang!
Like a heavy object hitting the ground, a huge head poked out of the stone house, and Bai Sensen's skull reflected a cold luster in the sunlight, and two points of scarlet light were flashing on the parts of its two eye holes, which made people panic when they saw it.
As the barbarian man advanced, this skeleton slowly drilled out of the stone house, and the nearly ten-meter-long body like a big snake gave people a great oppressive force, and there were four claws under the bone body of this long snake......
