Volume 1: Ancestral Mountain Burning Immortals - The Altar of Solemnity Chapter 43: Find another way to survive
Yue Guanchao is in his chest, and he will never ask questions that he is not sure of.
Utuman stopped, his shoulders rose and fell, and he glanced back a few times with a cold expression: "If you don't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person, just shut up if you want to live." ”
"Uncle Utuman, when you mentioned the Ghost Face just now, you were obviously stunned, you have dealt with them before, otherwise, how could you record the Ghost Face Xiao on the page!"
Yue Guanchao grasped this point and chattered behind Utuman to ask questions, and the old man glanced at his granddaughter with resentment: "You stupid girl, why do you tell outsiders everything, you don't dare to do this in the future." ”
Ah Ying nodded timidly: "I know, I want them to help me find Daddy and Auntie." ”
After listening to this, Utuman frowned, distress flashed in his eyes, and the words that came to his lips turned into a sigh.
Yue Guanchao saw that this old man had a weakness, and continued to stimulate him: "Uncle Utuman, you know what is going on in Wuqi Town, and Ah Ying's father and mother also disappeared from here, are you really not curious at all?" ”
"Where do you talk so much!"
Utuman may have been annoyed by the question, so he turned around and kicked it violently, Yue Guanchao couldn't dodge it, and was kicked out a few meters away.
"Ah Weng, you promised me not to kill him!"
Ah Ying helped Yue Guanchao up and blocked in front of him, and Utuman had to give up if he restrained his killing intentions.
A few people hurried back, and when they returned to the pallet again, it was still the same place, with deep cliffs and hot fog.
Utuman didn't seem to expect this, and stood on the edge of the cliff with a blue face, without saying a word.
"Where's my map?"
Ah Ying obediently handed him the deerskin map, and Utuman pointed to a few mountains on the map, his eyes were as deep as a pool: "The current situation is not something that an old man like me can handle, but fortunately, I went to another valley when I was young, let's go over and try our luck first." ”
When everyone heard that there was still a chance to go out, their eyes lit up, and Utuman seemed to see through their thoughts, and the words changed:
"But don't be too happy, the mandrills in the town are terrifying enough, and there may be something dirty in those wild forests."
"If other valleys are like this, then we old and young can only take root here, I advised you not to come, you think I was playing with you!"
Yue Guanchao looked at the old hunter, his words didn't seem like a lie, this town was much more terrifying than he thought!
……
The gray fog was thick and the sky was hazy
A group of people walked through the primeval wild forest outside the town, wading through the dense green velvet in the dense forest, the already dim sky was even darker after being covered by branches and leaves, and every step had to worry about whether there were traps.
"Why are there so many birds hovering ahead, is there a beast?"
Hotaru looked ahead, and the flock of birds circled the forest, like buzzing flies, and they were overwhelmed.
"There could be a beast!"
The only situation that Yue Guanchao could think of was that there were wild beasts in the forest, and they did not dare to go down to forage for food.
Utuman snorted coldly: "Go over and see, we have to go through the front." ”
The villagers carefully raised their spears and led everyone out of the dense forest, a little empty in front of them, and a village with a strange portal lay in front of them.
At this time, the wind is howling in the wild forest, the dead leaves are swept up and flying all over the sky, the courtyard wall is full of weeds, and the birds and finches are around the house and refuse to disperse.
"Witch Coffin Yizhuang!"
Yue Guanchao looked at the plaque: "It's really a place to store corpses for a long time, no wonder it's so infiltrating." ”
Squeak!
Yue Guanchao pushed the door in, skipped a strange shadow wall, and everyone walked into Yizhuang.
When they saw the scene in the courtyard, everyone took a few steps back!
It's not big here, it's about the same as an ordinary courtyard, relying on the north wall to build the whole stilted building, the front of the courtyard is paved with green bricks, and there are weeds squeezing the stone slabs.
These are the usual things, and what makes them feel weird is the many wooden stakes planted in the yard.
The stakes, without exception, were all tied to the dead.
Yue Guanchao walked over to the corpses and observed them carefully.
Without exception, these corpses were all male corpses, most of them wearing buttoned gowns, sheepskin jackets, black pants from bloomers, and felt hats on their heads, and their whole bodies were wrapped in blood-stained linen woven with the totem of the ox's head, and only their heads were exposed like mummies.
Their deaths were brutal, their limbs tied in crosses to stakes, rattan thorns piercing into the flesh, burrowing out of their throats and into their hearts, flesh and blood rotting and blackening, and centipede worms burrowing in and out of the dried black flesh.
When I got closer, I felt a bloody smell rush into my nostrils, so smoked that I couldn't even open my eyes.
What's even more terrifying is their face!
These people's faces were covered with nine layers of thick hemp paper, the rough beige paper had been completely soaked with blood and dirt, and the blood stains had dried up into prints, and because the hemp paper was all superimposed and fitted, the corpse's face was as if it was wearing a terrifying ghost mask with an extremely painful expression.
Song Siyuan walked next to him, and when she saw these corpses for the first time, she was slightly shocked, but she quickly took out her interview literacy and forcibly suppressed her nausea: "The death is very miserable, these people must have died in this way, there must be a reason!" ”
Utuman slowly stepped forward to take a look at these corpses, a trace of strangeness appeared on his face, Song Siyuan noticed the slight change in his mood, and asked casually: "Uncle Utuman, do you know these people?" ”
