Chapter 32: The River of Earth

Xiaoyu asked Sima Yang, why is this well behind the Yuanfu Temple so foul-smelling? Sima Yang asked Xiaoyu to guess, where have all the people in the village gone?

Xiaoyu pondered..... There doesn't seem to be any connection between the two events, right? On the night of the burning of the temple, the whole village was still there! Moreover, ..... At that time, this well stinked so much!

He smiled slightly: "I can't guess, it's better for Brother Sima to talk about it." ”

Sima Yang let out a long sigh: "Actually, it's not just this well that stinks, the entire underground dark river is full of stinking, and the closer you get to the mountain, the stronger the stinky it becomes, that's because ..... In the mud of this underground river, there are filthy bones, hair, blood, and rotting scraps......"

"Uh.....-huh!" Xiaoyu nodded and groaned, motioning for him to continue.

Sima Yang continued: "I'm underground...... It has been found out that these villagers, after killing pigs and sheep, directly threw away the bones, scraps, hair, and dirty blood of the animals in a stinky pond in the east of the village...... The water below is alive, the air is alive, and what is even more strange is that even the sediment seems to be moving, and the dirty silt is slow but purposeful...... Over the years, the entire underground riverbed is covered with bones, like shells in the loop......"

"The mud and sand were carried into the mountains with the bones...... It's really fresh, and the water down there is flowing very fast?"

Although it is said..... It is normal for the river to move with sediment, for example, in the Yellow River, but the water of the Yellow River is so rapid and turbid as a soup. The water in this underground channel...... How much effort is it to roll up the mud and sand and send the bones inside to the mountain? Xiaoyu doesn't seem to understand it reasonably! I've never heard that the riverbed can move like this? Wouldn't that become a conveyor belt?

Sima Yang said: "There is no urgency at all, and the water quality is quite clear, not turbid, you can see the bones embedded in the sand, in addition, Brother Zhu, now the bones below are all human, and the role of turning into animals has completely disappeared......! The further you go into the mountain, the higher the temperature inside becomes, and the hotter it gets......"

Xiaoyu fell into deep thought, for a long time, and smiled slightly: "After talking for a long time, you haven't told me yet, where have all the villagers in this village gone?"

Sima Yang sighed solemnly: "Those villagers, men, women and children, hundreds of people, carrying the livestock of the whole village, all jumped into the pond and committed suicide......

"What, you committed suicide by jumping into the pond?" Hearing this, Xiaoyu gasped, this result ..... But it was a big surprise to him.

"That's right! now..... The bottom of the pond was full of their corpses, and they were also surging into the mountains little by little along the river, and they were guessing..... As soon as Old Lady Yuan died, the Spirit Lady was furious and directly asked the people of the whole village to bury him," Sima Yang shook his head and sighed.

In the face of the ferocity of the monster, Xiaoyu was both shocked and puzzled, trying to think about the logic inside...... What kind of consideration is this Wraith Lady in..... Do you want the people of the whole village to make "funeral offerings" for Mrs. Yuan?

Is it because you are afraid that "the secret here" will be known to the outside world? It is not very likely! Old lady Yuan has been killed by "masters," and you are still afraid of revealing your hair? Not to mention the matter of Niushou Village, Wang Chuliang led a large army into the mountains to rob the tombs, dug up a pile of "bone scum," and killed more than 7,000 people.

Xiaoyu felt from the beginning that what Sima Yang said was ..... Yuan Pingzhang may have moved the villagers away, but in fact, the possibility is not very large, the biggest possibility is that the common people were all stupid after seeing what was stewed in their pot......s! Don't dare to live in this village anymore.....! How extreme is this?

The villagers are disgusted and frightened, but they will never commit suicide by throwing themselves into the pond! The only possibility is ..... It's the Wraith Lady who controls them to jump! And the reason why the Wraith's Lady does this is definitely not because she is afraid of revealing anything, let alone because she is angry and plays with the old lady's temper! The real reason...... It should be these villagers who have lost their use value!

After the matter of Yuanfu was revealed, not to mention whether the villagers would dare to eat meat in the future, the fool would continue to use the pigs and sheep sent by their family. So..... There will be no more people throwing "dead people's bones" into the pond, at most they will dump garbage into it!

Since the bones of the dead can no longer be thrown into the pond, there is no need for this village to exist, and the villagers themselves ...... It is equivalent to the last batch of "feeding" or "leeks"!

This is actually the same as selling "elderly health care products" and insurance, when a brand is notorious, agents and distribution training points are the last batch of customers in the "practical sense", they can no longer continue to generate value for the home!

Think about it...... Xiaoyu felt that if the ghost lady didn't let them commit suicide by throwing themselves into the pond. That illustrates...... What she wanted wasn't necessarily the bones in the underground canal, but ..... It is precisely because she just wants those things that she makes the whole village the last "leek"!

And, acting so resolutely...... It can also reflect from the side that the bone she wants must also be human bones! From the perspective of supply and demand, many things will suddenly become clear.

"Brother Zhu?"

When Sima Yang saw Xiaoyu, he was completely lost in thought..... I didn't say anything for a long time, and whispered to him on the side.

"Oh......" Xiaoyu smiled slightly: "Brother Sima, the bones in this underground waterway have slowly moved to the inside of the deep mountain, and I think it should be ..... It's Wang Chuliang's gang who dug up the gold and silver treasures of the barracks!"

"Admittedly! It must be like this! These bones have all become demon bones to prevent tomb robbery! It has the effect of demagoguery, including the common people of the whole village, who cut up the remaining bones and drove them to throw themselves into the pond! And this Niushou village has always played the role of a workshop that produces these bones...... Sima Yang said.

Xiaoyu nodded knowingly: "What the hero sees is slightly the same!, then Brother Sima..... What specific plans do you have?"

Sima Yang said: "We must not enter the mountain! The thief hole left by Wang Chuliang in the mountain is a trap, and there is no need to say that Wang Chuliang left it, I believe ...... Anyone who walks from the mountains, even if he digs a pit now...... They will all fall into the trap of the Wraith's Niangniang, and the whole mountain is a fortress shell, and whoever enters will be unlucky! If you want to smash the Yellow Dragon, you must find another way and take the waterway under this Niushou Village!"

"Waterways?"

"Not bad!" Sima Yang paused and continued: "It is said that it is called underground waterway, but in fact, many places in it are dry and only ventilated! Now this season, the groundwater level is relatively low, and some of the dark rivers have dried up. We can walk along the shallows of the dark river into the mountains, because the wind is always pouring in, so we don't have to worry about suffocation...... Although the underground channel is complicated, the width is okay, and the highest part of the underground cavern, even as high as a house, and the lowest place can allow us to bend down and drill into it....."

"Brother Sima!" After listening to his words, Xiaoyu deeply doubted: "It's really hard to imagine that nature will form such a complex underground structure, even if it is a dragon's lair and phoenix position made by heaven, it is impossible to be like this..... How do I hear it and how do I think it's unreliable? ”

Sima Yang sighed: "Before I saw it with my own eyes, why didn't I have the same idea with you? But Brother Zhu, don't forget, this bureau is not made by heaven and earth, but a bureau specially created by demons! So I said...... This Niushou Village, as well as the cats in the deep mountains, are getting bigger! Everything seems to be for the purpose of raising corpses!"

"Raising corpses?" Xiaoyu frowned slightly.

"Yes!" Sima Yang said with a solemn expression: "Water can nourish yin, living water gathers yin qi, nourishes the zombies in the mountain, and the complex underground water veins flow into the mountains, I don't know what kind of scene it is...... The most sinister corpse breeding ground can't compare to here!"

"Tell the truth!" Sima Yang paused and continued: "This is Brother Zhu, you have to go, I sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, the guy inside is really not a joke!

"Uh-uh-uh....." Sima Yang's words, Xiaoyu was very embarrassed. In fact..... Why did he want to go to that hellish place, wasn't he all forced by the black cat?

In addition, when it comes to feng shui, Sima Yang is really much more professional than himself! He hit the nail on the head in one sentence! Before, he thought that this was a good feng shui for Tibetan wind, gathering qi, collecting sand, and accepting water! Now look at it..... The real meaning of these words is not to describe this kind of "corpse raising place" at all!

So I said..... Brother Sima, I'll just come by myself, you don't have to follow ......"

"Stop, stop!" Sima Yang waved his hand again and again: "Brother Zhu! We are all people who in the thatched house with their faces facing outward, and the poop has been pulled out, can we still go back? Since we have already come, there must be a result, and I am not complaining, but I am not outside you! In addition, if this evil can be destroyed, then our brothers will also appear in front of people, and they will be proud to win the honor! In the future, on the rivers and lakes, everyone will have to look up to us!"

As he spoke, this Sima Yang seemed to have seen something very terrifying, and he pulled out his sword with a "poof", and the whole person stepped back nervously. Xiaoyu looked back violently, and she also gasped!

But see..... The ruins of the temple before have disappeared...... The illusion of the Dharma Body of the Ghost Lady has reappeared!

Shockingly..... This time, Xiaoyu didn't use the so-called "filter" to see it! It was completely visible to the naked eye, and it was ..... It was Sima Yang who discovered it first!
