Chapter 203: A Weapon Pressing a Mountain
"Xuantie Order!The waist card of the royal forbidden army?!Strange, how can the waist card of the royal family appear here?"
Li Yang wiped the sand on the black iron block with his sleeves, looked at the black iron plate in his hand, and saw that the iron plate was engraved with a red bird rising in flames.
Li Yanghu sighed, at this time, the bottom of this canyon has been almost dug up by the team, and more and more things buried by the deposited wind and sand have been excavated, it is worth mentioning that a flag has also been dug up, and the flag is half missing, but it is much stronger than the flag that Li Yang and the big yellow dog dug out that is almost completely rotten, and from the flame of the flag's extremely rich symbol, it can be vaguely recognized that this flag is the flame flag of the royal forbidden army of the Vermilion Bird Country.
"After the inventory, the items in this canyon, according to our inference, have been buried for more than three years, and judging from the clothes dug up, it should be a team of three hundred people from the royal family. Li Yang sat on a pile of sand, thinking about something, when the dwarf ran over, he very skillfully summarized the inventory and inference, and reported to Li Yang.
"More than three years?! In this way, this should be a detachment sent by the royal family when they encircled and suppressed the Hundred Chaos Mountain! Could it be that the royal family was in the same year, and there was also an army that touched the burial place like us, and the team was scattered by the burial spirit, and they went in all directions. Among them, a team of about 300 people escaped by taking the Hidden Dragon Road like us, and then got lost in the barren hills, found this canyon, and found the abnormality of this canyon?" Li Yang touched his chin, and a trace of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"That's how it should be!"
The dwarf nodded, and Li Yang's inference coincided with them.
"What is the error in judging the number of people?" Li Yang pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and asked the dwarf.
"It should be about ten, no more than three hundred, no more than ten, less than three hundred, ten less! Because some things have already rotted, so the general judgment of mixing together is not entirely accurate. The dwarf said confidently. As a first-level adventurer, he still has this point in his eyes, after all, the experience is there, although it is all yellow sand, but he has his own method of reasoning.
As if thinking of something strange, the dwarf frowned slightly and stopped talking, Li Yang saw the dwarf's strange appearance, and asked curiously, "What, is there something strange?"
Hearing this, the dwarf nodded, his face twitched slightly, and he said with a green face: "One thing is very strange! We found the clothes, waist tags, flags, and weapons of that army at the bottom of this yellow sand, but we didn't find their bones, not a single one! Three hundred people, everything, except for the corpse, which was missing, as if it had disappeared! This is inevitably a little too evil. “
"Not a single skeleton?!"
When Li Yang heard this, he was also taken aback, this is indeed a very evil sect! Now they can almost conclude that the forbidden army of the royal family has all starved to death in this canyon, but since they have starved to death here, why have not found a single skeleton of them? Could it be that their bodies were stolen after they died? Or were they eaten by wild beasts? But they stayed in this barren hill for two days, not to mention men and beasts, and there was not even a single ghost in the vast Gobi!
So where are the corpses? Where are they decomposed? Then there must be a bone, right? The clothes and blades are all there, but there is not a single skeleton in sight, could it be that they took off their clothes and lost their things, and ran away to die somewhere else? There is a way to die that is born and dead? This kind of thing, the brain-dead are too lazy to do it, let alone the forbidden army cultivated by the royal family?!
Now Li Yang can almost conclude that this canyon is where the exit is, and he thinks that the reason why the royal forbidden army died here must be that they found that this canyon is the only way out of the barren hills, so they have been staying here to search, but they have not found it for a long time, and finally starved to death here, and the body was buried in the yellow sand for a long time.
Li Yang fell into a swamp, the forbidden army is full of carefully selected talents, and there are naturally many smart people and capable people, and they have not figured out things until they die, Li Yang is only sixteen, and no matter how smart he is, he cannot understand it at all.
He asked the dwarf to call Jin Ping'er and the hunter, and the four of them gathered together, had a small meeting, and thought about countermeasures, these three people were more experienced than him, and he thought that maybe from them, he would find an entry point, in short, there was a big difference between a way and a group of people after all.
"Remember, the story of the origin of the Hundred Chaos Mountain that I was about to tell you?"
After discussing for a while, several people didn't come up with a reason, so the mood was a little low. In the silence, Jin Ping'er's autumn eyes moved slightly, pursed the corners of her ruddy mouth, looked at Li Yang with a rare gentle gaze, and said in a crisp and moving voice.
Suddenly found Jin Ping'er, a rare gentleness, Li Yang felt a little weird, but he didn't think much about it, but asked thoughtfully: "You mean about the ghost market?"
"Hmm...... Ghost City. ”
Jin Ping'er's white jaw moved slightly, and she nodded very surely.
"Since I can't think of anything now, and the story is related to the Hundred Chaos Mountain, it's better to listen to it, and everyone may have some unexpected discoveries. Li Yang cleaned up his slightly gloomy mood and took a light breath. Being the captain for the first time was pinned on the hope of the whole team, and the pressure on him at the age of sixteen was inevitably a little too much, but fortunately, the young man was more mature and knew how to self-regulate.
"Actually, the connection between Bairanshan and the ghost market is because of a story in the book, before talking about Bairanshan, I want to talk about the story about this ghost market recorded in the book. Jin Ping'er whispered shallowly, at this time, she lost her previous arrogant temperament, and showed her virtuous side to be touching.
She also knew that once she told this secret, her origin would inevitably lead to speculation, because the entire corner of the sky knew that this hundred chaotic mountains were too mysterious! ordinary people could not touch it at all, but the matter had come to this, whether it was for the whole team or for herself, she had to tell what she knew, because only in this way would they not repeat the mistakes of the three hundred forbidden troops and walk out of this barren hill.
A trace of light flashed in Li Yang's eyes, and he made eye contact with the hunter and the dwarf, a comfortable arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, he lazily moved his body, changed to a comfortable sitting position, smiled at Jin Ping'er and nodded, signaling himself and the others to understand, and let her speak.
Seeing this, Jin Ping'er recalled the secret book recorded by the martial artist that she had seen in the family, glanced at the three people in front of her, and no longer hesitated at the moment, and slowly spoke: "There was a record of the ghost market in the book "Mountain City", and the text said that there was a son named Sun Yunian in Huanshan, and one day he and his friends were drinking on the top of the mountain, and suddenly saw a lonely pagoda on the top of the mountain, high in the sky. Amazed!"
And under the gaze of the two of them, a few dozen palaces rose up on the top of that hill! The palace tiles were turquoise, and the eaves were high and upturned, which was very magnificent! And on the periphery of the palace, the high and low city walls also slowly emerged, and the top of the city wall was a concave and convex short embryo, which had been continuously six or seven miles, and surrounded into a city! In the city, the pavilions, pavilions, and houses were scattered, and the walls and streets were lined up one after another. “
"A little while, the wind suddenly rose! It flew very loudly, and the dust and sand flew, and in the raging wind and sand, the city on the hill became indistinct. After a while, the wind was clear, and then the mountain city was gone! Only a lonely high-rise building remained, directly touching the sky and the river. ”
"There were five rooms on each floor of the building, and the windows were open, and there were five bright places, and the bright places were the sky outside the building! Count them one by one, and the higher the room, the smaller the bright spots, and the eighth floor, the bright spots are only as small as the stars, and the higher they are, they become dim, and they seem to be absent, and you can't see the level of it. ”
Through the window, you can see that in the low-rise room, the crowd is busy, so quiet, peaceful, and paradise! In the world of that room, there are cattle busy pulling grinding discs and grinding noodles, there are delicate women Yingying Yanyan washing in a wooden basin by the river, there are golden wheat fields, and the old farmers wearing straw hats and sweating and carrying sickles are enjoying the harvest with smiles. ”
After a while, the building gradually became so low that you could see the roof, and gradually the building became the same as the usual building, and then gradually it became a tall bungalow, and suddenly the house shrank back to the size of a fist, and then to the size of a bean, and at last it disappeared completely. ”
"The man who wrote this book is said to be a martial artist who has reached the pinnacle of his weapons, and he deliberately concealed the truth for fear of disturbing the peace and tranquility of the people. At the end, it is written that there are people who get up early and are on the road, and they see houses, markets, and shops on the hills, which are no different from the conditions in the world, and call it a ghost market. ”
Jin Ping'er's words came to this point, paused, looked at Li Yang, the hunter, and the dwarf's thoughtful appearance, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and muttered: "This martial artist is very intelligent, he wrote such an ending, giving a chance to have a reasonable explanation for this absurd scene, after all, the market is very common in the world, and he said at the end that the early risers, the market, the shops and the earthly world deliberately left an ordinary place in the treacherous to mislead. ”
And later, it was indeed the wish of the martial artist who wrote the book "Mountain City", and some descendants argued that this story is nothing more than the spectacle of the formation and end of a mirage. In fact, in this story, except for the ghost market results deliberately added by the author at the end, all the scenes in front are real. ”
"Because after that, the mountain in the story was gone, and this mountain was buried under another mountain, and the mountain where it was buried was later crowned a hundred chaos by a warlock because of its strangeness!"
"The two protagonists in the story are two demons! The son named Sun Yunian is the mountain demon of Huanshan, and the friend next to him is the body of a dragon in the sea who cultivates a demon weapon! The tower they see is an evil weapon! The evil weapon originated from heaven and earth, and wanted to evolve into a world, and later it turned into a mountain and buried the entire Huanshan! Therefore, the origin of this hundred chaotic mountains is actually a sleeping instrument pressing a mountain!"
