Volume 1 Snowy Boy Chapter 86 Haunted?
The green hill in front of you doesn't seem to be very high, but when you really climb it, you find that it is not so easy. It was not because of the steepness of the mountain where the bronze temple was built, but because everyone felt an unprecedented resistance as they climbed up, and that resistance poured down from the top of the mountain. Not only the suppression of their spiritual consciousness, but also the bondage of their bodies, and even they felt a sense of oppression of their souls. That sense of oppression and suffocation is different from the suppression of the realm, but an unyielding will as vast as the sky is looking down on everyone.
"Brother Yu, there is something wrong with this mountain, I feel like I am about to lose my breath. Jiang Hao wiped the sweat from his head and said breathlessly. They had just climbed only about ten zhang, and the little fat man Jiang Hao was already sweating and panting.
"Yes, Brother Ling, there is something strange about this mountain, and I also feel a sense of oppression coming from the top of the mountain. And, you look back at the bottom of the mountain. Yue Feng, who was on the other side, was also flushed, and his perception of this pressure was also extremely strong when he had just recovered from his injury.
Ling Yu followed his words and looked down the mountain, and found that the creatures who had been playing and chasing them as if they were nothing had all stopped their movements at this moment, and looked up at the four of them in unison. Moreover, the eyes of these creatures looking at the four of them were full of horror, and even some of the strange beasts that had opened their minds had already prostrate on the ground, kowtowing devoutly towards the bronze ancient hall, trembling all over, extremely afraid. A juvenile sika deer snuggled up to its elders with innocent eyes, and made a "yo-yo" cry from its mouth. A skinny ape was held in the arms of an adult ape, and the little ape secretly glanced at the backs of the four people, and quickly turned his head and hugged the adult ape tightly. The eyes and movements of the creatures were strange everywhere, making everyone confused.
"What's wrong with these creatures? It's as if they're scared when they see us climbing a mountain. Bai Luohan also noticed the unusual behavior of the creatures, and asked suspiciously.
"They are not afraid of us, but they are afraid of this mountain, or rather, of the bronze temple above. Ling Yu found out what the problem was and said in a deep voice. He had heard legends that in some Jedi and unknown mountains and tribes, some humans or creatures would instinctively guard something or something. And some of the reasons for this are ancestral contracts, and some are family legacies, and they have guarded something from generation to generation, as if it were inherited, extremely sacred. And Ling Yu guessed that this mysterious bronze ancient hall should be something guarded by these creatures, in their hearts, the bronze ancient hall was almost a god-like existence, like a totem, sacred and inviolable. Therefore, when they saw a few people heading towards the Bronze Ancient Palace, the creatures under the mountain showed extremely frightened expressions.
"Then what should we do now?, should we give up or continue to face the difficulties?" Jiang Hao asked hesitantly after listening to Ling Yu's explanation. He had been forced to explore the Bronze Ancient Palace, but now the reaction of the creatures under the mountain once again shook his faith.
"Haozi, you won't think about giving up again, will you? I can tell you, there is no turning back from the bow, we should have triggered some prohibitions, either you follow us all the way to the dark, or you go back to the mountain and accept the unknown danger. Ling Yu smiled at the corner of her mouth and said intimidatingly.
"Alas, how can I have the feeling of being on a thief ship! I am not a lady when I meet someone, I am not a lady when I meet someone!" Jiang Hao said with a sad face and a helpless face. He knew that Ling Yu was probably messing around, but he didn't dare to stay alone at the bottom of the mountain.
"Alright, Haozi, don't twist and pinch anymore. If we really encounter any danger, the four of us will bear it together, what are you afraid of?" Yue Feng saw Jiang Hao's submissive look, and he didn't get angry. He lamented his misfortune, was angry with him, and hated it and said with iron.
"Okay, okay, you're all right, I can't continue to climb with you. Jiang Hao was trained by the other three to have no temper at all, so he could only bite the bullet and try to keep up with everyone's footsteps.
Ling Yu and Bai Luohan glanced at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, and continued to climb towards the Bronze Ancient Palace. No matter how the creatures below reacted, now that they had made a decision, they must reach the top of the mountain and explore it.
At the beginning, Jiang Hao would mumble while climbing, but later even he began to become solemn. Because the power that fell from the top of the mountain was indeed too great, he had to take it seriously. They had already climbed more than half the distance by this time, and it was impossible to go down at this point. And they could already faintly see the situation on the top of the mountain at this moment, and victory seemed to be waving at them not far away.
"Brothers, hold on a little longer, there is a platform not far above to rest. Just when a few people were about to be exhausted, Ling Yu's words rekindled their hope.
Jiang Hao and the others looked up, and sure enough, they found that from the top of the mountain, down to a third, there was a slow platform about three feet wide built around the mountain. Although the platform is not very wide, it is more than enough as a place for the four to rest.
They picked up their speed and, under the pressure of the tide, climbed towards the platform. After a stick of incense, Ling Yu was the first to ascend the slow platform, and then Bai Luohan and Yue Feng also boarded one after another. In the end, they worked together to pull up Jiang Hao, who was already soaked in sweat.
After Jiang Hao was pulled onto the platform by everyone, he lay straight on the platform, panting heavily. Originally, this climbing of mountains and mountains was very difficult for him, and he had to be hindered by an inexplicable pressure. It is indeed not easy for him to persist until now.
"Oh my mother, I'm tired to death, Ling Yu, let me tell you, it was a few of you who forced me to come, if there is no chance on this mountaintop, I won't finish with you!" Jiang Hao gasped, raised his hand, pointed at the three of them weakly, and said weakly.
"Don't worry, this green mountain is so mysterious, and the creatures under the mountain are so respectful to the bronze ancient hall, it is impossible that there is no chance. Ling Yu also let out a sigh of relief, poured a few large mouthfuls of water into his mouth, and then wiped the corners of his mouth and comforted Jiang Hao.
After about three incense sticks, Ling Yu raised his head and looked at the sky, and said to everyone: "We have almost rested, it is almost time to Shen, we must reach the top of the mountain before dark." If you're all resting, let's go at once. ”
"It's only been a while! I haven't rested enough, you have to hurry again!" Jiang Hao sat up suddenly after listening to Ling Yu's words, and shouted dissatisfiedly.
"Haozi, you have to think about it, since we started climbing the mountain, we have been blocked by an inexplicable force, and as we get closer, this resistance is getting bigger and bigger, although the top of the mountain is already within reach, but I think the resistance to the top will be more fierce than before. If we don't act at this time, we won't be able to reach the top of the mountain before dark. If we are trapped in this mountain wall, the target is large and very vulnerable to other forces. To be on the safe side, we must leave immediately. Ling Yu said solemnly.
"Well, well, let's go. Jiang Hao got up very reluctantly, flicked the dust off his body, and prepared to go on the road. Although he hadn't rested enough, he also had to admit that Ling Yu's words were very reasonable.
In fact, as Ling Yu said, the remaining one-third of the journey took longer than the time of the half-way climb up the mountain. The most important thing is that when they approached the top of the mountain, they invariably experienced dizziness, tinnitus and other symptoms. Every inch of skin on their bodies felt as if they had been pierced by steel needles, and even the sound of ghosts crying wolves came from their ears. The flesh and bones on his body seemed to be squeezed by the air around him, and they were about to burst.
"Hold on a little longer, we'll be at the top of the mountain soon!" Ling Yu forcibly endured the severe pain and all kinds of strange discomfort on his body, and shouted to everyone. Among the four people, Ling Yu's cultivation was the highest, and even he couldn't hold on, let alone others.
"It's okay, we can definitely do it!" Yue Feng's face turned pale, his eyes burst with tenacious light, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the giant sword turned white, he gritted his teeth and shouted.
On the other side, Bai Luohan and Jiang Hao no longer had the extra strength to speak, and their faces turned red. Bai Luohan bit his lip tightly and said nothing. Jiang Hao's sweat flowed down his forehead and into his eyes, but he didn't have the strength to wipe it again.
The last five zhang distance took the four of them half an hour, and the moment they reached the top of the mountain, they could no longer hold on, and several people collapsed on the top of the mountain almost at the same time. They lay limply on the cold rocks at the top of the mountain, letting sweat trickle down their cheeks into the cracks. If it weren't for the cold sensation coming from beneath them, they would even think that they were dreaming, a mountain that was not very high, and they had climbed it for nearly three hours.
"Don't call me anyone, what chance, what exercises, what magic soldiers, to hell with it, I just want to lie quietly for a while, look at the starry sky, and fall asleep. Jiang Hao's eyelids were heavy, and he didn't even have the strength to turn his head, he waved his hand at Ling Yu and the others, and said in a prostration.
"Hehe, you better forget it, you mean that if there is really an opportunity in front of you, you are happier than anyone else. Yue Feng was also panting on the side, interrupting Jiang Hao at the right time and sneering.
And at this moment, Ling Yu sat up suddenly, his face was grim, and his eyes were sharp and he looked around, as if he was looking for something. Ling Yu's sudden movements startled the three people on the side, and they all looked at Ling Yu with surprised eyes.
"Brother Yu, are you crazy, what are you looking for?" Jiang Hao thought that Ling Yu was so tired that he went insane, and quipped.
"No, did you hear anything?" Ling Yu didn't joke with Jiang Hao, but said very seriously. After finishing speaking, Ling Yu continued to look around, he believed that the sound he heard just now was definitely not an illusion, and the mourning seemed to be around him.
"Don't make a fuss about Brother Yu, what's the sound...... Ahh
For they all heard a mysterious voice at this time, and though it was nothing, they were sure that it must be true. Moreover, the creatures that made the sound were all around them, even as if they were talking in their ears, and this strange sound made the four of them instantly alert. If only one person hears it, it may be a hallucination, but if all four people hear it, it means that the sound is real.
"You're coming......" The mysterious voice sounded again, and it was louder and more real than before. It was an old, frail voice, repeated like a whisper.
"Xiao Yu, I feel that the source of the sound is within that bronze palace. This man is so powerful that he is beyond my knowledge, it's just ...... He seems to be a crippled ......" Jie's voice suddenly sounded, and his tone was solemn and confused.
"It won't be...... Haunted, right?" Jiang Hao said with a pale face and a shudder.
"It's a human or a ghost, you'll know right away!" Ling Yu got up and looked at the Bronze Ancient Hall from afar, a flash of fierceness flashed in his eyes. He held the broken sword in his hand and said in a deep voice.
