Chapter 30: The Paradise of the Dead (1)
In the forest, Yuan Yong and his subordinates were eating roasted mushrooms like a whirlwind. For a few big men, mushrooms are delicious, but they are really hard to eat.
"Boss, let's really have a good meal after delivering this dart!"
"Boss, I want to eat chicken legs!"
The two young dart masters have a lot of food, and this little mushroom is not enough to stuff their teeth, so I can't help but complain about what you say.
Yuan Yong looked at their appearance that they were not very capable and had a lot of food, and showed a helpless expression. Glancing at the dart master who was leaning against the tree with a severed hand, he was now holding his head motionless. Yuan Yong got up and went over to check the pulse, but the pulse was completely gone, and it had turned into a cold corpse.
Yuan Yong said dejectedly: "Brothers, let's dig a pit together when you are full."
Everyone glanced at Yuan Yong's expression, and then at the corpse lying next to him, and immediately understood what it meant, and they couldn't help but feel sorry.
"It's so fragrant!" An old woman's voice came from not far away. The voice is not loud or small, but it sounds a little panicked.
"Who?" the dart masters looked at Yuan Yong, who shook his head.
A ball of white light flashed, and an old woman with gray hair and ragged clothes appeared in front of him. The old woman has a round face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and her smile is very kind, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a demon or a monster. But she was really conjured from the white light, and she was definitely not a human race.
Unsure whether the other party is a demon or a demon Yuan Yong picked up the saber he was carrying and was ready to shoot at any time.
"Boys, it smells so fragrant, the old man is hungry, can you enjoy the stuttering?"
"Old woman, the juniors only have some mushrooms to eat, if you don't dislike it, you can eat some" Yuan Yong asked her to go over and eat those freshly roasted mushrooms by herself.
The old woman walked over and picked up a piece of mushroom, and was about to put it in her mouth, when her eyes stole a glance at the corpse lying on the ground.
"The old man asks a lot, how did this poor man die?" the old woman's eyes flashed with something indestructible.
Yuan Yong replied vigilantly: "I met a bandit outside the forest, and the bandit cut off a hand, and cut the root of the thigh, and a lot of blood flowed, and the treatment was not timely, and I didn't survive in the end."
"Well, that's pitiful"
Yuan Yong felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and while the old woman continued to eat mushrooms, he asked his subordinates to dig a pit and bury the body as soon as possible. The four big men dug a shallow pit and buried the body.
The important thing at the moment is to go on the road to complete the dart mission. Yuan Yong beckoned his subordinates to hurry up on the road, but was stopped by the old woman.
The old woman said with a strange expression: "Young men, it's going to be dark soon, I advise you not to go into the woods anymore, it's easy to hit the wall."
"Thank you for the reminder, but the juniors still have a task to do, and they must be done as soon as possible," Yuan Yong explained.
"You're afraid of old age. Don't worry, the old man doesn't have the intention of harming you when he is old, otherwise...... You are already the same as that one," the old woman calmly pointed to the dirt bag under the tree, "You can stay and keep you well, and it will not be too late to set off at dawn."
Yuan Yong looked up at the obscured sky, and the little light that shone down was much dimmer than before, and it really seemed like it was getting dark. He thought to himself that what the old woman said also had some truth, it should be easy for her to kill a few Terrans, and she hadn't made a move so far, maybe she was not interested in killing.
It's just that Boss Yuan has instructed that there are many dangers on the way to the dart, as long as there is doubt in intuition, you must firmly believe in it, and don't be deceived by the illusion on the surface. Thinking of this, Yuan Yong made up his mind to gamble, what is it to bet on darts and walk at night.
Lighting the torches, Yuan Yong and the dart masters said goodbye to the old woman and walked cautiously into the depths of the woods.
The more you walked, the darker the light became, and everyone was silent along the way. It was surprisingly quiet in the woods, and suddenly someone asked, "Where did we come from?"
Yuan Yong replied unconcernedly: "Rear"
As soon as the words ended, the three torches were suddenly extinguished, and everyone was plunged into endless darkness.
"Who asked just now?" Yuan Yong woke up like a dream, his voice just now was very unfamiliar, not like any of the dart masters in his company.
In the darkness, the dart masters said that they had not spoken or heard any sound just now.
Suddenly, a little light flashed in the distance, looming.
"Everyone be careful" Yuan Yong's hand holding the handle of the knife was full of sweat, and for some reason his legs were like lead, and he walked heavily and hardly step by step.
"Yes" replied, but it was the unfamiliar man's voice again.
Hearing the strange man's response, Yuan Yong was furious, he took out his saber and slashed directly in the direction of the sound, and with a snort, there was nothing where the big knife fell.
"His grandmother's, what evil did Lao Tzu hit today, he ran into a lot of shrunken turtles, get out!" Yuan had the courage to blurt out foul words. He took out the "fire thunder" from his arms and prepared to break the net.
At this time, the darkness became silent again, and even the dart masters did not move. Slowly, fear occupied the tip of Yuan Yong's heart, his back was cold, and his breathing was a little heavier. Yuan Yong was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but at this moment, the inexplicable fear made him lose his proportions, and he desperately moved his legs in the direction of the light. As he walked, he suddenly stepped on the soles of his feet and fell into the abyss, and he fell more and more sharply, deeper and deeper, and finally fell into the water with a thud.
Yuan Yong's water quality is not bad, he held his breath in the water and tried to swim upstream. Swimming, he touched something that looked like a jade pendant, the light was too dim to be recognized, and he dragged it all the way to the surface. The moment he surfaced, he spread out his palm, and through the moonlight, he found that the jade pendant was familiar, and the round jade pendant carved with a dragon was written in the middle of it. Yuan Yong recognized this jade pendant, this is the young master's!
Just when he was puzzled, a corpse surfaced, and an ominous premonition surged into Yuan Yong's heart, he cautiously leaned over and glanced at it, this glance was not tight, Yuan Yong almost fainted, the corpse was really Young Master Yuan Qingsong's. Yuan Qingsong closed his eyes tightly, as if he was asleep, and there was no sign of being soaked and rotted at all. Yuan Yong unwillingly put his hand on Yuan Qingsong's pulse, but he really didn't have a pulse!
Yuan Yong's mood collapsed, he hugged Yuan Qingsong's corpse and cried, he felt sorry why the young master was so bad, he had been poisoned once before, and he was also out of breath, and he was finally rescued, how could it be like this this time, but here the heaven should not be called the earth, no one can save him.
...... here How could the young master be here? Didn't the young master's jade pendant be lost when he was twelve years old! There were too many strange things here, Yuan Yong calmed down in an instant, he sneered and pushed away the corpse, and swam towards the shore of the water.
Suddenly, the moonlight also disappeared into the dark clouds, and the surroundings returned to darkness again, Yuan Yong looked around, and the star-like light appeared again, and he dragged his heavy legs and continued to move forward step by step. This trip to the dart Yuan Boss has full trust in Yuan Yong, but today Yuan Yong is completely deflated, he feels that he has failed the boss's expectations, so he can't give up, he must successfully complete the task, and must not smash the first signboard of the Yuan family's dart bureau.
The point of light became bigger and bigger, Yuan Yong's chest became more and more stuffy, the rhythm of his breathing became faster and faster, his mind became blank, and the desire to survive made him keep moving forward. But for him, that light is not necessarily another unknown danger.
Finally, Yuan Yong, who was sweating profusely, found the light.
It turned out that it was just a place that I had just shared with my wife.
At this moment, the old woman was sitting leisurely by the fire humming a little song, holding a red ball in her hands and eating with relish.
When she saw Yuan Yong coming over, she quickly threw the things in her hand aside, and wiped her hands on her skirt at will.
Yuan Yong stared curiously at the red ball that rolled down, and suddenly an eyeball rolled from the ball to the ground. If you take a closer look, it's not good, this is a ball, it turned out to be a skinned human head, and the mound next to the corpse was also dug out to create a big hole.
The old woman smiled a little embarrassedly when she saw that Yuan Yong found out that she was eating the corpse. The blood in her mouth full of laughter was even more seeping. Yuan Yong couldn't help but shudder when he saw this, his stomach rolled for a while, and he couldn't help but vomit.
The old woman said disappreciatively: "It's okay to vomit, the mushrooms you just ate are grown from corpses, and eating too much will make people fear and sadness."
Not to mention that it's okay, I heard that the mushroom was raised from the corpse, and Yuan Yong vomited even more.
The old woman continued: "Little Housheng, the forest you broke into today is called the Forest of Bliss, and it is a place where the human race sees through life and death and walks into the forest alone to end up on its own, so there are many corpses buried under each tree."
"How did you go into the forest alone and bury yourself under the tree?" Yuan Yong was skeptical of the old woman's words.
"Of course, it was buried by the old body, and every corpse in this forest was buried by the old body himself, except for the one who "The old woman refers to the dart master who has just died.
Yuan Yong forcibly vomited the contents of his stomach before he felt that his body was light, his qi and blood were smooth, and his legs did not feel like lead just now. He said with a pale face: "I saw you eating his head just now......"
Since they chose to leave the world, it means that they are quite disgusted with the world, and the old body has eaten their heads, and they will no longer suffer from reincarnation. Besides, the old body is the messenger of the underworld, and it is normal to eat the flesh of the dead. But don't worry, the old body doesn't eat the living, and if it wasn't for the old body that kept the fire just now, the little poster, you would have been unable to find your way in the dark and were taken away by the dark messenger" The old woman did not shy away from revealing her identity, because a certain force was reminding her that it was impossible for Yuan Yong to leave this forest, so the dead would not reveal the secret.
Although the old woman said this, Yuan Yong still shuddered. He remembered that the old woman had always said that it was fragrant when she appeared, but she did not enjoy the delicious expression when she ate the mushrooms, could it be that the incense she said meant the smell of the corpse!? But where did the other four dart masters go?
