Chapter 167 The Ancient Tomb (Ask for a Subscription and Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Throwing the bodies of those bandits directly on the road and leaving no more care, she asked Chougou to clean up the footprints on the ground, trying not to leave a trace.
She had just paid attention, and when she moved, she moved quickly, so she barely stepped on any blood, and her body and shoes were clean.
Speaking of shoes, the shoes she is wearing now are still the two pairs of shoes that Mrs. Xue prepared for her before and matched those two sets of clothes.
In fact, it is a little inappropriate to wear it at this time, because it is worn in summer, and the shoes are satin, a little cold, not very strong, and a little awkward on this potholed road.
Although it is a shoe for going out, the sole is not so thick, after all, it is worn by everyone's ladies.
Originally, I was going to go to the county to buy two more pairs of shoes, but she really couldn't sew clothes and make shoes, so she could only buy ready-made ones.
While driving the carriage down the fork in the road to the south, let the ugly ugly sweep away the wheel marks behind him.
This is easier to do, and the ugly can be done casually with divine sense.
When she walked to the grove she saw before, she thought for a while and said, "Ugly, why don't we go to the village in a hurry first, it's noon now, if we don't have anything to eat in the village, it's not convenient for us to make it ourselves or take it out, so let's just eat outside first and then go over."
If we can spend the night, we can make do with the people in that village at night, and if we can't, we will go to the mountains again to find a way, saving time. ”
"Okay, then let's have lunch in this woods and take a break."
It doesn't matter if it's ugly, whatever, there are still little leopards and horses to be fed, especially the little leopard, which is already hungry and starts to rub it.
Qian Yan didn't plan to expose the little leopard to people, so if she went to the village, she would put it directly in her satchel, and secretly feed it some food when the time came, and then make it convenient.
She didn't want to contact people too much, and she would find a more prosperous family to spend the night, that is, the kind with a vacant house, if there was no vacancy, she wouldn't live, even if it was a girl, she didn't want to live with others.
Not to mention the ugly and the little leopard, there is also the fact that I don't like to sleep with strangers and have no sense of security.
I drove the carriage into the woods, and I don't know why there was a wide-spaced passage in the middle of the trees, and although there were more weeds, the carriage could pass through.
She drove the car to a more central location, so that it was basically invisible from the outside. Those who come out of the mountain at night will not see clearly until they come to them.
"Ugly, ugly, do you think there are any wild creatures in this wood? Usually there should be hares, right? ”
The ugly chou swept it with his divine sense and said: "Yes, yes, but not much, it should be because of the season, it's all in the hole, if you want to eat, I'll get one for you." ”
Qian Yan shook her head, "No, we still have the dishes we packed before, you can eat those first, the rabbit has to be freshly made and lit a fire in the woods, does this make people know that there are people here?" ”
She was just so curious to ask, as long as there were wild things, she wouldn't worry, there were in the woods, which meant that there would be in the mountains.
I found a relatively flat place, felt the wind direction, looked at the distance between the trees, and asked Chouchou to take out a piece of plastic sheeting in the space and tie it between the two trees to block the wind, saving me from being uncomfortable when eating.
I still took out the big wooden basin from before and put it on the ground as a table, and the small wooden basin as a bench, and then washed my hands and took out the leftover vegetables and baked cakes from yesterday and ate them.
After eating a baked cake, I drank a bowl of millet porridge, and then I ate an apple, and there was no place for my stomach.
Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry to leave, so she asked Ugly to put away her things first, "Do you want to go around together to eliminate food?" ”
Ugly shook his head, and after collecting his things, he lay down on the carriage, "I don't need to eat, it's better to lie down for a while when I have that time." ”
Since it didn't want to move, Qian Yan had no choice but to take the little leopard, which had already eaten, towards the east of the woods.
For some reason, she wanted to go over there and take a look, as if something was calling.
Of course, this feeling is not strong, it is just a sixth sense.
Her steps are not in a hurry, she just walks forward very leisurely.
The leaves in the woods were already yellow, and although there were still a lot of them hanging on the trees, they had not completely fallen clean, but there was already a layer on the ground.
Stepping on the leaves, making a creaking sound, the little leopard thought it was very funny, kept running back and forth on it, and deliberately jumped to the thicker place where it was piled up, and suddenly made the broken leaves fly around, staining a lot of hair, and shaking itself vigorously there.
Tilt Yan looked funny, and didn't care about it, the little cub just wanted to be lively, because there was a carport blocking the way, the little leopard never entered the bag, so it was not aggrieved, and it felt a lot more lively than before.
A man and a leopard slipped until they reached the other end of the woods before they stopped, and when they looked back, they could no longer see the carriage, and before they knew it, they had gone quite far.
Looking back at the front, there was a very ordinary wasteland in front of it, no different from what she had encountered before, but Qian Yan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
I had to call Ugly in my head and see if it could find anything.
Hearing her call, Ugly didn't reply and ran directly through the space and landed on her shoulder.
Looking at the ugly ugly who arrived in an instant, she was stunned, "So fast? You've been following me all the time in space? ”
Chouchou nodded and shook his head, I heard you call me, I was afraid that you had something urgent here, and I came through the space. ”
Tilt Yan's eyes widened, "You've recovered a bit?" The current space is the same as Xiangxiang's, and you can go to another place through the space? ”
Ugly Ugly continued to shake his head, "That's not it, it's within the scope of my divine sense, but Xiangxiang can go anywhere in the world, and it's far worse than it." ”
Although it doesn't want to admit it, it still knows the gap between itself and Xiangxiang.
It didn't want to discuss this, so it changed the subject: "Is there something you called me over?" ”
Qian Yan pointed to the open space in front of it and said: "You look at this open space with your divine sense, I always feel that there is some problem here, and I can't say what the problem is, obviously there is not much difference from other places, it is all a wild grass, anyway, there is an intuition, this place is a little different." ”
Scandalous Yan immediately probed his senses, and there was nothing different on the ground, just some weeds, the occasional few small stones.
After thinking about it, he probed his divine sense into the ground again, and at first he didn't find anything, until he reached twenty or thirty meters underground, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Let's get out of here!"
Qian Yan was startled by its eager voice, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Asking, he bent down without pause and picked up the little leopard and walked back.
Ugly: "There is a tomb down here, at least thousands of years old. ”
Qian Yan was puzzled, "If you have an ancient tomb, you don't have to run, right?" Could it be that there are zombies inside! ”
Of course, this is her random guess, isn't it all played like this on TV, especially ghost movies, where there are ancient tombs and zombies.
Another thought, thousands of years ago, now there are five dynasties and ten kingdoms, wouldn't that be a longer time from the afterlife?
Ugly and ugly replied: "That's not true, it's the tomb that has a problem, it's the cemetery and the altar of ancient sacrifices, when I just probed in, I touched a formation and was attacked by the formation."
I'm afraid that the formation is a prohibition, and there will be any follow-up chain attacks, so I let you stay away from that side so as not to get hurt. ”
As soon as she heard that it had been attacked, she hurriedly asked nervously, "Then are you okay?" Is there anything wrong with it? ”
Chou Chou shook his head, "No, I took it back quickly, almost retreating with a touch, and I was not hurt." ”
Tilting Yan put her mind at ease, and hurriedly quickened her pace and ran back.
"I'm sorry, ugly, it's all my curiosity, I almost hurt you."
Ugly touched her hair soothingly, "Don't worry, it's okay, the main thing is that I'm too weak now, if it returns to its heyday, a small formation in a tomb, a divine sense will destroy it in the past!" ”
After speaking, he jumped into Qian Yan's arms and made a contemptuous gesture.
She almost laughed at the way it looked and rubbed her face against its head.
By this time they had returned to the place where the carriage had been parked, and Tilt Yan put the little leopard into the carriage, and led the horse to turn the horse's head and walk out of the woods.
After thinking about it, he said to Chouchou: "Otherwise, let's not go to that village, that village is not far from here, if there is any problem, will it implicate innocent people." ”
Chou Chou shook his head, "Don't worry, it's really fine, I didn't find anything else unusual in it, and the formation inside shouldn't be that far away." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a rumbling sound from behind, the sound was not very loud, but the ears of both of them were extraordinary, so they heard it very clearly, it was from the ground!
One man and one beast glanced at each other, causing the bear to speed up.
Until they came out of the woods and returned to the road, the rumble was still uninterrupted, and the ground did not shake, at least not the collapse of the tomb or something, it must have activated some mechanism.
They didn't want to go back to investigate, and even Chou's desire to use his divine sense to probe into the ground to take a look was stopped by Qian Yan.
She was afraid that there would be some accidents, if they were injured, then they would be really dangerous, and they knew that it was dangerous, and now it was best to stay away and not be stupid.
Qian Yan took out the spirit stone wrapped in several layers of cloth in the satchel, handed it to Chouchou, and said, "Why don't you absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone first, in case there is any danger, at least you can protect yourself." ”
Chou Chou took it and felt the aura inside, shook his head and said: "The time is too short, there is not much recovery in it, let it absorb and absorb again, and now is not the time for emergency." ”
Qian Yan had no choice but to put the spirit stone back in her satchel, and since she took it out, this spirit stone has been placed outside, just to let it better absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, so that it can be filled quickly, including the small piece that was detained by the ugly ugly.
Fortunately, although the light of this spirit stone is very bright, as long as it is wrapped in a few layers of cloth, it will be covered and will not be exposed, which also reduces the risk of being discovered by others.
"Shall we go to the other side of the mountain? Or go back to the main road and head west? ”
The carriage came to a halt as soon as it came out of the woods, and they thought it must be far enough away from a wooded field nearly two miles away.
Chou Chou looked at the side of the road with his divine sense, shook his head and said: "No, those officers and soldiers have already come, Vice General Wang is in the town, and the rest of the officers and soldiers are chasing the bandits in several ways, and one of the teams has already arrived at the corpses and is inspecting." ”
When she heard this, she hurriedly said, "Will you see us?" Do you want to hide in the woods again? ”
Ugly: "No, listen to their conversation, I've already seen this side just now, and I'm ready to go back to the town to report and pull a cart to transport the body by the way, leaving two people there to watch." ”
Qian Yan hurriedly drove the carriage south, "Then let's hurry up and walk further south, and try to get out of sight over there." ”
The ugly nodded and asked the bear to speed up, although it was a little bumpy, and now he couldn't care about it so much.
At this time, the rumbling was gone, and I don't know if the mechanism stopped on its own, or if it was too far away to be heard.
Even if I was hurrying, I walked for another twenty minutes to reach the foot of the mountain.
Qian Yan looked at the scene in front of her and said suspiciously, "Are we at the end of the road?" What about the village? Didn't you say there was a village with a backer? ”
The ugly also took a breath, it had just patronized the ancient tomb and the main road outside, and it didn't use its divine sense to explore this side at all, and the place where there was a village before was actually empty!
It scanned back and forth, left and right with its divine sense, and did not even let go of the underground, and did not find any trace of the existence of the previous village.
This...... A village just disappeared into thin air?
In front of me is the end of a road, and then there is a clearing full of stones, opposite the open space is the mountain wall, more than ten meters of the mountain wall straight up and down, it is scary to look at, it feels like it can be photographed at any time.
Qian Yan frowned and scratched her head and said, "What's the matter today, how did you encounter such a strange thing, if you are wrong that there is no village here, then what is this road for?" At first glance, you can tell that people often walk.
But if there is a village, how can it disappear out of thin air? Even if it is taken into the space by a divine beast or a great power, it must leave some traces, this place does not look like a place with extraordinary people at all. ”
Hearing her say this, Chou Chou suddenly thought of something and said, "Maybe this village is still here, but it has been hidden by someone with a formation or a blindfold." ”
"Formation? Distraction? ”
Qian Yan looked at the ugly and waited for it to elaborate.
Ugly nodded, "I also thought of the formation in the tomb just now, so I guessed so, since there is a formation in the tomb, why can't there be one here?" The village I had seen with my divine sense was very old, and the houses were all made of stone, not caves and adobe houses. ”
