Chapter 178: The Haunted Black Forest
"Drive, drive!"
The horses' hooves flew on the potholed dirt, and the further they went, the more desolate they became, and only a few darts dared to follow them on the deserted roads outside the city.
They were galloping when they were stopped by a team of dart masters.
"Well, don't go any further, you will go further into the Black Forest."
"Huh~" As soon as Jun Lingyun pulled the horse rope, the white horse immediately neighed and paced to a halt.
"Dare to ask this brother, what is the point of the black forest?"
When you go out, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and humbly asks for advice, after all, you can suffer less.
The strong man didn't hide it.
"You're from out of town, aren't you? In the black forest, the haunting has been fierce recently, so don't spend the night in it, otherwise you won't know how to die. ”
"Haunted? Do you believe in this kind of thing? ”
Bai Xiao felt that everything was not going well today, and there were few normal people he encountered. Is it worth shouting them for such rumors?
The strong man was a little anxious.
"If it's hearsay, I don't believe it, but that's what I saw with my own eyes, I tell you, so many people have died in this disaster in this city, and all the souls have gathered in the black forest, and if I hadn't run fast last time, I would have died in it a long time ago."
The strong man looked like he was palpitating, and he persuaded Jun Lingyun and the others bitterly.
"Look at this sun, it's about to go down, why don't we go together, sleep outside the forest, and tomorrow morning, and then walk through the black forest?"
Jun Lingyun looked at the dark and dreary woods in front of him, compared to ghosts, people's hearts were a hundred times more terrifying.
"Thank you Brother Tai for reminding me, but if it's really the ghost of the victims of Licheng, I'm interested in meeting it."
"If you don't listen to the advice of good people, you will suffer in front of you, and you don't want your life?"
The strong man looked at the group of people who ran away, and shook his head helplessly, young and vigorous, he was going to suffer, it's a pity, it's a pity.
The sky gradually darkened, and Jun Lingyun and the others had already entered the haunted black forest in the mouth of the strong man.
Only the moonlight shines through the shadows of the trees, dappled and mottled down, changing form from time to time.
From time to time, there was a creepy sound in the woods. I couldn't tell if it was the sound of the wind, the birdsong, or something else.
In order to avoid the irregular branches, the walking speed of Jun Lingyun and the others also slowed down.
They carefully discerned the various eerie sounds in the woods, and walked a little further.
There was a sudden creak under the horse's feet, and Jun Lingyun looked down to see that it was actually a few dry bones of human beings.
Naturally, the attendants also saw it.
"Master, this forest is indeed a little evil, you listen to that voice, it seems to be mixed with the cry of people."
"Could it be that there really are ghosts?"
"What, you're still afraid of ghosts?" The white owl teased the two attendants.
"We have all crossed the mountain of corpses and people on the battlefield, and what are you afraid of, that ghost had better fly in front of me, see that I don't let his soul fly away."
As soon as the attendant finished speaking, the next moment, he felt a chill on his back, and his hairs stood on end, and he couldn't speak. Just felt something, slowly climbed up his shoulders.
Seeing everyone staring straight behind him, in the dark, it made him even more creepy, and he only dared to roll his eyes.
He is not afraid of fighting enemies on the battlefield, but he is really afraid of ghosts.
Before he could see what was on his body, the sword of the white owl had already swished, flew past his ear, and went straight into the tree behind him.
He consciously felt that he had survived the catastrophe, and exhaled a stiff breath, and there were words in his mouth
"Amitabha, evil does not invade, evil does not invade."
"Hahaha, look at his cowardice."
"I said Lao Shi, how did you become the master's close attendant, it can't be, you rely on playing treasures, right?"
"Hahaha." Another burst of laughter.
The attendant, who was called Lao Shi, noticed that the situation seemed to be different from what he had thought, and turned sharply to look, and saw a snake nailed to a tree.
One face was red and blue, but fortunately it was too dark for anyone to notice the wonderful color on his face.
Lao Shi stepped forward in annoyance, pulled out the white owl's sword from the tree, and threw it at the white owl.
"It was only by virtue of the exploits of the battlefield that I came to the master's side. It's all because the big man who dart just now is talking nonsense. ”
He kicked the dead snake on the ground away in disgust, and was looked down upon by his companions, and he was very annoyed in his heart, so don't be disgusted by his master.
But when he saw Jun Lingyun, he didn't look at the excitement on their side at all. Instead, he looked around vigilantly.
What is the master looking at? Isn't the master also afraid of ghosts? It's just holding on and not showing it.
Jun Lingyun's gaze suddenly froze, and Lao Shi's gaze also froze, and his hairs stood up again.
He didn't dare to blink, held back his breath, and looked straight ahead, and the others followed.
I saw a man dressed in white, I don't know if it was a human or a ghost, and he was in mid-air, floating in the wind, fainting and appearing in the moonlight.
"Go and see, dead and alive."
Jun Lingyun gave an order, and everyone looked at Lao Shi, brother, the highlight moment of your shame has arrived.
Lao Shi moved his neck to strengthen his courage, and he couldn't be flattened by his brothers when he died.
The old ten had the courage to beat the horse and went forward. When he got closer, he saw clearly that the man in white was a human and not a ghost, but he was hung from a tree by a rope. Apparently hung up by someone else.
The cloak is scattered, and the face is not visible. I could only see the exposed hands and feet, which had long since dried up.
Who would do such a thing, hanging someone's corpse? Could it be that this man was murdered?
Lao Shi was circling around the corpse, trying to get some useful clues.
"Wow~Wow~" Suddenly, two terrible crows came from the corpse, and the frightened old ten almost fell off the horse.
"Master, the dead, the dead."
He hurriedly returned to Jun Lingyun's side to report.
"It was hung by man."
Artificially hung up? Everyone is a little dignified in their hearts, what have the people of this Licheng experienced? It's so chaotic that it treats human life as child's play.
Jun Lingyun's face was cold, the reality was always a hundred times more cruel than imagined. He had seen with his own eyes the suffering of the people in war-torn places.
But I don't want to, in a place where there is no war, the people are still human beings.
"Let's go ahead and have a look."
Several people followed Jun Lingyun, and the further they went, the more frightened they became. Every once in a while, a withered and hanging corpse would appear. There are even some children, who are less than a meter long.
Jun Lingyun's eyes were moist, these were the people of his Yunxiao Kingdom, who should have lived in peace, mother and son, but because of the selfishness and greed of those beasts, they have now become this dry corpse floating in the wind.
You can't tell whose mother, whose father, whose child.
"Ghost, ghostfire."
Lao Shi suddenly shouted.
Instead of avoiding it, Jun Lingyun turned around and walked along the flickering ghost fire.
After a few steps, they saw a patch of graves.
Several people were silent, it was really this kind of scene, it was too heart-wrenching. They are all people who have seen life and death, but death has a place to die, so innocent and vain, how can people not feel resentful.
