Chapter 385: The Cuckoo of Blood
"Even so, Mr. Xie still prefers to believe in that legend!" Princess Anyang could see it from Xie Yunxiao's last words.
Xie Yunxiao didn't deny it, "Maybe!" ”
The Five Great Places of Death, he had already been to the Stygian Mountains and the Black Forest, so he naturally knew that this place was not an ordinary place.
The wind blew, and a few strands of hair on Xie Yunxiao's forehead moved with the wind, and the solemn color in his eyes at this time was much more intense.
The deeper he went, the more inexplicable uneasiness in Xie Yunxiao's heart became.
By this time their boat had come to the narrowing of the lake, where the river was very fast, and standing on the boat, they could hear the sound of the flow of water.
"Did you hear anything?" Princess Anyang suddenly asked.
When Shang Ping heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he listened carefully, and in the distance, there seemed to be something making a wailing sound, and there was an indescribable sadness in it.
"Your Highness, do you know what this sound is?" Shang Ping asked.
Princess Anyang shook her head, thought for a moment, and then looked at Xie Yunxiao, "I don't know what Mr. Xie thinks?" ”
Xie Yunxiao said: "This sound is coming from the front, our ship continues to walk ahead, and sooner or later we can see something that makes a sound!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded secretly.
Because the boat is going against the current, the speed is not very fast.
The strange wail, intermittent, always there.
As the ship moved forward, the sound grew louder and louder.
The inexplicable sadness released is also becoming more and more intense, which seems to affect people's mood.
In Xie Yunxiao's sea of knowledge, a faint halo appeared in the Nirvana Ding, dissolving the invisible power that could affect people's hearts.
But Princess Anyang and the others did not have such ability, so they were all full of sadness one by one, Princess Anyang, Qu Fei, and Shang Ping were all full of tears and red eyes.
The same is true for the rest of the Chu State soldiers.
The fierce light in Xie Yunxiao's eyes became more and more intense, and he looked ahead, the strange chirping sound was much richer than before.
It's like the cuckoo's call, but it's a human emotion, with indescribable sadness, which can affect people's minds.
Xie Yunxiao can be sure that this sadness did not appear for no reason.
Although everyone couldn't suppress the sadness and desolation in their hearts, their faces were full of tears, but they were still sober.
The ship continued to move forward, but Shang Ping and Qu Fei had a look of horror in their eyes.
"Your Royal Highness, we can't move on!" Shang Ping shouted loudly, he couldn't control himself, tears couldn't stop flowing out, and his eyes were red.
Princess Anyang's state at this time was more serious than Shang Ping's.
This is understandable, although Princess Anyang was born in the Chu royal family and is a princess admired by thousands of people, her fate is not in her own hands.
Now it has become a pawn in the alliance with Zhao State, how sad it is.
It is precisely because of this that the sadness hidden in Princess Anyang's heart is incomprehensible to outsiders.
At this time, he was affected by the sound of the cuckoo's chirping, and he was out of control.
Princess Anyang looked ahead, there was a cliff, and the water flowed from below, and the sound of the uproar was very loud.
The cliff cliff is like a long knife standing in the water, revealing a compelling momentum.
The sound of the chirp came from the cliff.
At this time, they were less than six or seven miles away from the cliff.
If you don't go over to take a look, how can Princess Anyang leave willingly?
At this time, Princess Anyang finally found that when everyone was crying, only Xie Yunxiao was calm, as if that strange power could not affect him at all.
"Mr. Xie is really smart!" Princess Anyang said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "If the princess wants to leave, you can turn the bow of the ship!" ”
Princess Anyang was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Xie, what are these words, could it be that you will leave?" ”
"Now that you're here, you have to see what is playing tricks!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Princess Anyang said: "If Mr. doesn't leave, then I won't go, after all, Mr. doesn't have a ship!" ”
Xie Yunxiao smiled indifferently, he didn't say anything, just looked at the front quietly.
At this time, the moon had climbed into the middle of the sky, and the moonlight shone through the mist, shining on the mountains and on the water, revealing a faint and inexplicable breath.
"Your Highness, Weichen thinks that we really can't move forward anymore!" Qu Fei said.
Shang Ping's expression was solemn, and he nodded again and again, "Your Highness think twice!" ”
The two of them wept as they spoke, and it was very funny to watch.
Princess Anyang couldn't stop tears streaming from her eyes, and she took a deep breath to try to keep herself calm.
But the sorrow comes from the heart, the sorrow comes from the stock, she can't control it at all, she is not only crying, but even having a runny nose, how unbearable it looks to be, how unbearable it is.
But all this is not under the control of Princess Anyang at all.
"I've made a decision, I don't have to say anything!" Although Princess Anyang had a sad face, tears and snot, she only had the majesty of a king.
Whether it was Shang Ping or Qu Fei, they didn't dare to say anything at this time.
The boat had gone some distance ahead, and Xie Yunxiao saw that on the cliff, a tree had grown out of the crack, and its branches extended out and hung above the current.
On top of that branch stood a bird, an ordinary cuckoo.
The cry that can bring people's sad emotions comes from this cuckoo bird.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, wait for the lower officials to shoot down this cuckoo bird!" Qu Fei is a soldier in the army, and when he entered Mengze this time, he also brought a bow and arrows with him.
At that moment, there were already soldiers who brought bows and arrows, just waiting for Princess Anyang to give an order.
Princess Anyang looked at Xie Yunxiao and asked, "Sir, do you have any other methods?" ”
Xie Yunxiao shook his head, "Not yet!" ”
Princess Anyang sorted out her thoughts, her eyes full of tears were filled with an indescribable light, and then she said, "Then shoot down this strange cuckoo!" ”
After receiving the order, Qu Fei sorted out his thoughts, his expression was solemn, he drew his bow and arrows, and he must shoot down this strange cuckoo bird tonight.
The sound of the bowstring rang out, and the arrows shot out like meteors, aiming at the cuckoo bird standing on the branch.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the cuckoo bird.
But at this time, something strange happened.
The bow and arrow shot by Qu Fei were still about half a foot away from the cuckoo bird, and they were directly shattered into powder and scattered with the wind, and the intermittent cry from the cuckoo still spread in the void.
A cool breeze blew, and everyone felt an inexplicable coolness, perhaps, not because of the cold wind, but because their hearts were filled with indescribable coolness.
Qu Fei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, only to feel a dry mouth, his mouth squirmed slightly, but he couldn't say a word.
Shang Ping was a little better, his expression was very solemn, and he said: "Your Highness, in this situation, it's better for us to leave quickly!" ”
"It seems that you don't take my words to heart!" Princess Anyang's majestic voice sounded, Shang Ping's heart trembled violently, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Xie Yunxiao ignored everything on the ship, he kept an eye on the cuckoo bird.
The moment the arrow was shot, Xie Yunxiao clearly sensed that the trees that grew out of the cracks in the cliff opened up an invisible force, shattering Qu Fei's arrow.
The trees that sprang out of the cliff were no ordinary trees, and the cuckoo was not a cuckoo.
Xie Yunxiao's eyes became extremely sharp, and at the same time, there was a look of curiosity, he really wanted to know what secrets were hidden here.
The boat continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to the cuckoo bird, and at this time, Xie Yunxiao and the others realized that this cuckoo bird, with every call, blood would flow from its mouth and fall down.
Although the water flow is fast, you can see that the water surface is still faintly red, and the smell of blood is indescribable.
At this moment, Xie Yunxiao thought of the corpse in the reed field not long ago. The smell of blood is so similar.
Perhaps, the man's body was bitten like that by a big black snake, but he must have been under this cliff.
In other words, the fishing boats of Wu Laoer, Liu Sanhu and others have gone deep into the land of dreams.
But Xie Yunxiao knew that even if they came in to fish, it would be impossible for ordinary people like them to go deep, and the lake outside, fishing was the ideal place.
"There must be something wrong with Wu Lao Er, if he arranged all this, why did he send that corpse out?" Xie Yunxiao's thoughts flipped quickly.
At this time, Qu Fei drew his bow and arrow again, he looked at the cuckoo bird on the branch, and said, "I don't believe that you can't shoot this weird cuckoo!" ”
The arrow broke through the air, and in a matter of moments, I saw that the arrow that had been shot out was shattered again.
Now that their boat had stopped, looking at the cuckoo on the branch not far away, there was a little horror in everyone's eyes, more or less.
Xie Yunxiao quietly watched everything in front of him, and the power from Zhiya shattered the arrow again.
What kind of tree is this? What kind of secret does that cuckoo bird hide? Wu Lao Er, who is fishing, if he is still alive now, where is he?
After thinking about it, Xie Yunxiao's gaze finally moved away from the cuckoo bird, and he looked not far away, where the mountains eased slightly, and the ships were reliable.
"Are you really watching everything here? But what is your goal? ”
Xie Yunxiao muttered softly, and at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the ship shook a few times.
"What did you say, sir?" Princess Anyang asked.
Xie Yunxiao said: "Yesterday, there were thirteen people who came in to fish with Wu Lao Er, right?" ”
He remembered that there were only five or six people drinking in the inn. Obviously, Wu Lao Er relied on his clever tongue to involve the greed of Liu Sanhu and others, and deceived several more people.
Now, only the body of the yellow cow has been sent out, and there is a mutilated body that has fallen in the reed field.
"The inside of the reed field may be just an accident, but the outside is certainly not, if this accident is just to keep the people coming in going, then ······" Xie Yunxiao's gaze returned to the cuckoo bird again.
Faintly, Xie Yunxiao seemed to understand some voices: "Go back, go back quickly, it's ······ dangerous."
"Go back? Dangerous? Xie Yunxiao's heart trembled violently, where are you going back?
When Princess Anyang and the others heard this, they were all stunned, and then a chill rose up on their backs, and it was difficult to maintain tranquility for a while.
