Chapter 122: A Thousand Miles of Lonely Grave
Fulong Mountain, not far from this town, after Su Bai had dinner here, he led the horse towards Fulong Mountain, and when he reached the foot of the mountain, he looked at the winding mountain road, Su Bai left the horse directly here and went up the mountain by himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Unlike later generations of mountaineering, you can have a cable car to ride, which is very convenient and simple, but now you can only climb the mountain on foot, and the mountain road has not been carefully designed, and some places have to be climbed by yourself.
These are not very difficult for Su Bai, but Su Bai is afraid that this old man is not on Fulong Mountain now, but takes the little guy to wander around, then he will be completely blind, but thinking that since the horror broadcast has released this task, it is impossible to say that the old Taoist priest will go to the sea to let the listeners have no hope and no way.
When he climbed halfway up the mountain, Su Bai found a pavilion, the pavilion was wooden, it looked crumbling, it was good to enjoy the scenery here, Su Bai walked in and rested.
At the same time, Su Bai also needed to spend some time thinking about some things, such as how to bring the little guy back even if he found the old man's location.
Before the release of the main quest 2, Su Bai thought that it was a very good result for the little guy to follow the old man, but as soon as the main quest 2 was released, Su Bai had to find it again to pick up the little guy, and even ...... Taking him back to the demon den is tantamount to pushing the little guy into the fire pit with his own hands.
But Su Bai can't help it, if it is an inverted 300 story points, Su Bai may really give up this task altogether, but with 3000 story points inverted, Su Bai has no choice at all.
After sitting in the pavilion for a while, just as Su Bai was about to climb the mountain again, an old woman came below, and the old woman was carrying a basket with incense, candles, and paper money in the basket.
The old woman stopped at the edge of the pavilion, and seemed to be tired, so she entered the pavilion, sat opposite Su Bai, took out a zongzi from the basket, peeled it off and ate it herself.
Treat Su Bai as air.
Su Bai wanted to ignore her and leave first, but a detail made Su Bai stay, even if Su Bai has this physique, when she climbs halfway up the mountain, she needs to take a little breath, but the old woman didn't leave any sweat stains on her body, although the mountain is cool, but climbing the mountain is also a tiring job.
What makes Su Bai feel even more weird is that the soles of the old woman's shoes don't even have a little bit of mud and sand dirt, and the mille-feuille bottom cloth shoes are so clean that people feel a little unnatural, as if they are new shoes that have just been made, and they haven't settled down yet.
But this is simply impossible, there are no cable cars here, many places have not even repaired the steps, and along the way, the clothes have to be dirty, let alone the soles of shoes?
The old woman also seemed to notice Su Bai's gaze, and was a little surprised, and said:
"Young man, are you hungry? Old woman, I have a meat dumpling here, let's eat it for you." ”
"No, don't be hungry. Su Bai refused.
The old woman nodded, slowly finished eating the zongzi, cleaned it up, and got back on the road.
Su Bai also went out with him, separated by more than ten meters from the old woman.
The old woman didn't walk slowly, even a little too fast, often after a corner passed, when Su Bai also came up, he found that the distance between himself and the old woman suddenly widened a lot, so several times in a row, Su Bai knew that the old woman wanted to throw herself away.
Moreover, when passing by some muddy sections, Su Bai didn't see the footprints of the old woman in front of her, is she a human or a ghost?
Su Bai didn't know if he turned into a zombie state, and used his evil qi to force and stimulate the other party, if it was a ghost, would it be revealed, but thinking that this was a Taoist law place, no more than there was only one Lin Zhenying in the county town before, if he was presumptuous here, would it attract the attention of those Taoist priests, and directly down dozens of Taoist priests shouted to Kuang Fu Tiandao to kill themselves?
Su Bai really didn't dare to bet.
Continue to follow, almost to the destination, a stone tablet appeared in front of it, and a few words were written on the stone tablet in words that Su Bai didn't know, and the old woman knelt down in front of the stone tablet, and then began to light candles and burn paper money.
Su Bai pursed his lips, he didn't know what this old woman meant, if she didn't go to the Taoist temple on the mountain to worship, what would she do here?
Just as Su Bai walked past the old woman and continued to go up the mountain, the old woman suddenly spoke:
"Young man, don't go any further, the place ahead is not for people like us to go. ”
Su Bai was stunned, and the old woman obviously had something to say.
"Why?" asked Su Bai.
"In your own heart, you know. ”
The old woman began to burn paper money, and the paper money spilled out, turning into ashes in the air, and it looked very lonely.
"I'm going to find someone. Su Bai said.
"Whatever you want. The old woman lowered her head and began to kowtow.
"Who are you worshipping here?" asked Su Bai.
"Dead people. The old woman clasped her hands together and began to recite some scriptures.
"Shall I know that it was burned for the dead, and that it was your relatives?"
The old woman looked at Su Bai in some surprise and said with a smile: "Young man, I'm burning paper money for you, so that you don't have to worry about food and clothing on Huangquan Road." ”
Suddenly, Su Bai felt that the mountain under his feet was shaking, as if an earthquake had occurred, Su Bai subconsciously squatted down, lowered his center of gravity, and at the same time grabbed the ground with both hands, but there was nothing under his hands, he seemed to be in the air, and then, Su Bai's whole person fell.
"Whoo ............"
Su Bai suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was sitting in the pavilion, his body already wet with cold sweat.
There are no old women in the pavilion, and there are no zongzi;
Is it just a dream?
Su Bai didn't believe that it was just a dream, it wasn't so coincidental that he would have such a dream here.
Regardless of whether this dream has other meanings, it is impossible for Su Bai to give up going up the mountain, if the task is not completed, he will have to die, this dream means that he may die, in fact, the essence is almost the same.
Su Bai got up and climbed the mountain again, what made Su Bai a little strange was that the road conditions on the mountain were different from those in his dream, and when he got to the top, he could understand the words on the stone tablet, yes
"Fulongguan. ”
It is very common to name the mountain after the Taoist temple.
Su Bai took a deep breath and walked past the stone tablet, however, a piece of paper ash suddenly fell at Su Bai's feet and stuck to the upper of Su Bai's boots.
Su Bai squatted down and flicked the paper ash away.
"Cheng, go down the mountain. ”
Su Bai turned around and began to walk in the direction of going down the mountain, going up the mountain and going down the mountain simply.
............
A horse-drawn carriage drove into the town at the foot of Fulong Mountain, and it was a fat man who drove the car;
The fat man shouted to the two monks in the carriage and asked if they wanted to stay here to have a good meal and sleep before continuing to walk, but the monk in the carriage directly vetoed.
As a last resort, the fat man could only go and buy some dry food first, and the three big men swallowed the unpalatable dry food while continuing to walk forward in the carriage.
The carriage continued on its way and came to a stop at a roadside tea house shed at the foot of the mountain.
After all, it's almost time to climb the mountain, and the necessary preparations still need to be made.
The fat man eagerly went down to ask the shop if there was any cooked beef or anything like that, and he was really short of oil and water with two monks along the way.
Fortunately, although the store did not have cooked beef, but some bacon and sausages and the like, the fat man asked the store to hurry up and stir-fry, and he sat down at the table now.
Gyatso and the monk came back from fetching water, and they thought of going up the mountain overnight without delay, but seeing that the fat man was already sitting there waiting, they looked at each other and smiled, and sat down at the table.
Soon, a plate of very simple stir-fried vegetables came up, the fat man was very happy to eat, the clear soup was low for a while, and he had to climb the mountain, so he naturally had to make up for it.
The monk and Gyatso also ate some, and the monk also instructed the shop to prepare some dry food suitable for long-term storage, and the shop immediately went down to prepare.
"I said, we didn't see Ah Bai all the way, that guy can't have found his way yet, right?" said the fat man, who drank a big bowl of soup and patted his stomach.
Gyatso shook his head, "He may be mentally ill, but he's not stupid." ”
"Amitabha, he should have been at least a day ahead of us, perhaps, already on the mountain. ”
"Is it so fast? Why is the position of the child that the fox sensed still on the mountain?" The fat man was a little puzzled: "Could it be that Ah Bai went up the mountain first, but he still didn't do anything, and now he is still grinding foreign workers on the mountain?"
"If only the task could be done so easily. "Gyatso's complexion has improved significantly recently, and it is clear that although he has not fully recovered from his injuries, he is still very good.
"After eating, let's go up the mountain overnight. The monk put down his chopsticks and signaled that he had eaten
"Why are you in such a hurry?" The fat man was really a little dissatisfied, how long has the 30-day mission time passed now, why are you in such a hurry.
But Gyatso also put down his chopsticks and signaled that he had eaten too.
The fat man had no choice but to settle the bill, and then carried the package on his back, and the three of them took advantage of the night to walk towards the mountain road.
The shopkeeper collected the money, but he didn't bother to clean the table, he just lost his tea shop and ran out, and he ran all the way to a mass grave.
A young man stood in front of a lonely grave.
"Master, you told me that the people who paid attention to them had arrived, and now they have gone to the mountain, and they are very anxious. The shopkeeper said to the young man.
The young man nodded, and threw a silver nude from his cuff.
The shopkeeper picked it up excitedly, bit it with his teeth, and when he saw the young man waving his hand, he immediately left in amusement.
The lonely grave in front of Su Bai was actually just opened by him, and there was a female corpse wrapped in a straw mat inside, and the female corpse was already decaying, but in the grave, there was a bamboo basket, which had been well preserved, and in the bamboo basket, there were two zongzi, and the lotus leaves had withered yellow, but when you peeled it off, you could see that it was a meat dumpling.
"If there is really something on the mountain, when I come back, you can give me a dream, if there is any wish that has not been fulfilled, I will do my best. ”
After speaking, Su Bai grabbed a handful of soil with his hand and sprinkled it on the lonely grave. (To be continued.) )
