[324] Stone ghost
After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether Xiao Shizhu agreed or not, raised his head and drank all the spirits in his bowl, looked at Xiao Shizhu, and said: "Little brother, I did it, big brother, you can do it yourself, if you don't drink, you won't give face." ”。
The voice was loud and loud, and it immediately attracted the attention of the other ghosts around him; They were full of joy written on their faces, and their joyful eyes fell on Xiao Shizhu's body.
This is to force Xiao Shizhu to agree even if he does not agree; Xiao Shizhu's heart has quickly complained: "Are you discussing the attitude you should have?" several times.
"I'm so embarrassed that you guys are so fierce and enthusiastic. Xiao Shizhu laughed, thinking that if he came, he would be safe, and the big deal was that things didn't work out and pretended to be very regretful, saying that he had done his best, and apologized or something. No matter how big it is, take chili water to wash your eyes and make a few sincere tears.
Anyway, it's not the first time he's done this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shizhu swallowed his saliva, and without hesitation, he drank the bowl of spirits that had been stained red with blood, and then walked to Dong Wuha's side, hugged the other party's shoulder, and asked very curiously: "You big leader, why is it abnormal?"
"That's a long story, I have to start a year ago. Dong Wuha believed the other party when he saw Xiao Shizhu and the blood wine, and then he burped again, walked to the table and sat down with him, and said slowly: "A year ago, an envoy from the north came to the Emperor, holding the Emperor's edict and scepter, and met our big leader. Then he left the next day, and then our big boss was a little weird. ”。
"Nani?" Xiao Shizhu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at him in a daze and said in a deep voice: "Brother, your generalization ability is very powerful, but I still don't know where the strangeness is?"
"It's that the big boss doesn't go out of the yafu from now on, and he doesn't patrol the territory anymore, and he feels like he has changed his sex, and he doesn't even touch his favorite female ghost. In addition, he urged us to recruit and train troops all day long, hoarding a large number of materials and weapons, as if we were going to fight a big war, but he didn't say who to fight with?
Xiao Shizhu frowned, shook his head silently helplessly, and after thinking for a moment in his heart, he asked with a wink: "How do you know that your eldest leader and wife can do such a secret as Duke Zhou's gift?"
"There are no impermeable walls in this world, they are all from the chief's mansion. Dong Wuha's cheeks turned red, and he whispered in Xiao Shizhu's ear: "And the female ghost that the big boss loves the most is my brother and my sister, low-key and low-key." ”。
"Oh!" Xiao Shizhu replied with a long voice, and asked again, "......Is there anything else abnormal?"
In the early morning, Yunmengzhou was immersed in a thick fog, and everything became so blurry.
Although it is fun in Miao Village, there are countless beautiful women singing and drinking every night, but Xiao Shizhu has important things to do after all, and he doesn't dare to stay for a long time. When the whole Miao village was still immersed in tranquility in the early morning, they set off.
In order to facilitate them, Wuha, the hammer cave of Tengxian Miao Village, equipped them with tamed rock fire bears as mounts. At the same time as sending them a lot of dry food, he sent the high priest Ma Long as a guide and led ten warriors to open the way for them.
After stepping on the bluestone road covered with dew and sending them outside the village, Dong Wuha arched his hand to Xiao Shizhu, who was riding on the rock fire bear, and said, "Big brother, the affairs in the village are busy, so I will send you here; ”。
"Thank you. Xiao Shizhu also returned the salute, kicked the bear's belly with both feet, and drove the beast forward.
Dong Wuha stopped in place, shouted, "Be careful on the road", and watched their figures disappear into the fog before turning back to Miao Village.
Xiao Shizhu and his entourage, under the guidance of Ma Long, shuttled through the dense fog along the mountain road, and slowly moved forward.
"Father. Xiao Poria, who was sitting in front of Xiao Shizhu, looked around at the fog that could barely reach out and couldn't see her fingers, and said slowly: "This place is foggy, and the three seedling ghosts don't have to be careful when they go out every day, otherwise they will hit trees, stones or something if they don't bump into other ghosts." ”。
"So our people's sense of hearing is not weak. This bit of fog is nothing, and in autumn and winter, once the fog is fogged an inch away, you can't see anything clearly, and you can only rely on your sense of hearing to distinguish your surroundings. Before Xiao Shizhu could speak, Ma Long in front of him took the first step and explained to her with a smile: "Fortunately, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the dense fog will fade away at noon when it starts in the morning, so it is not in the way." ”。
"Oh. Xiao Lingling nodded thoughtfully, yawned and said no more.
After a hot cup of tea, a group of ghosts has come to the foot of the mountain east of Miao Village. The Rock Fire Bear puffed green smoke and carried them towards the forest path, towards the top of the mountain.
The mountain range of Yunmengzhou is not the highest in the underworld, but without exception, it is famous for its steepness, and it is common to have a cliff of fifty steps and a ravine of one hundred steps.
In addition, there are many strange stones and dangerous peaks in the mountain, the low one is hundreds of zhang, the high one is hundreds of zhang; such as pillars, such as towers, such as bamboo shoots, carved in a variety of forms, the stars are scattered in the mountains, the body is crawling with the vines of luxuriant branches, like a huge rattan net to envelop it.
Coupled with the perennial continuous vastness and magnificent clouds and mist, the mountain road is even more difficult.
But it is precisely because of this that the Sanmiao warriors who have lived here for generations are among the human souls who are best at mountain warfare in the underworld.
On the steep and rugged mountain road, after carefully walking two or three teas, they finally came to the dense forest halfway up the mountain.
The group of ghosts did not stop, and continued to follow closely behind Ma Long, driving the beast forward in the thick fog.
Xiao Si, who was following Xiao Shizhu, suddenly frowned, stared at the looming plants and strange stones in the clouds and mist in front of him, and said thoughtfully: "Lord, I feel that a large amount of soul energy has appeared on the top of the mountain, could it be another Miao village?"
Xiao Si's perception is not as good as Yingying's, but it is not bad, she said that there are a large number of ghosts on the top of the mountain, so naturally there are a large number of ghosts on the top of the mountain.
But when her voice fell, she snorted and said suspiciously: "But these soul qi have no signs of moving, as if they are frozen, which is very strange." ”。 As he spoke, his brows furrowed and never opened.
Xiao Shizhu was not frightened, he was still calm and calm, it was not surprising that another Miao village appeared on the realm of Sanmiao, as for why the soul qi did not move, he didn't care about it all standing still. And the territory of Sanmiao is still very peaceful, so it will not be a ghost like a mountain bandit.
Even if there were mountain bandits, he was not afraid, so he didn't pay much attention to what Xiao Si said.
"Girl, your perception is very strong. Even though Xiao Si's voice was not loud, he was still heard by Ma Long in front of him, and then spoke: "Those are stone ghosts, and their soul qi will naturally not move. ”。
"Stone ghost, what is that?" Xiao Fuling, who didn't sleep enough because she got up early and was leaning on her father's slightly bulging lower abdomen, was drowsy and leaned on her father's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and immediately lifted her spirits after hearing this, and asked again and again.
"Stone ghosts are stone ghosts, their physique is different from ours, there is no blood and no meridians in their bodies, not to mention, their flesh, skin and bones are all made of hard rocks. Ma Long paused and said to her slowly: "Legend has it that they used to be the vanguard of the ancient gods, and they stayed in Yunmeng Continent after following the ancient gods to fight the demon gods. But since the Emperor Xudu took charge of the underworld and the ancient gods disappeared, they who were unwilling to submit to the Emperor Xudu fell into a deep sleep and became a pile of immovable stone statues, which have not been moved since then, and have been standing all over Yunmengzhou for thousands of years. ”。
"If you haven't eaten or drunk for thousands of years, isn't that equivalent to death? Why haven't you lost your soul?" Xiao Fuling listened seriously, and then asked, "Are they immortal?"
"Yes, when the old gods created them, they created them into a group of ghosts with special physiques. Not only can the body be immortal for thousands of years, but it can even survive without eating or drinking. Ma Long untied the wine bag from his waist, pulled off the cork, tilted his head and took a big sip, and said, "It is said that the sleeping stone ghosts will not awaken until the legendary son of the god appears, otherwise they are just a pile of stones." ”。
After hearing that the stone ghosts were related to the son of the gods, Xiao Shizhu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and hurriedly asked: "May I ask the high priest of Malong, then these stone ghosts are so good, didn't the Emperor Xudu order their destruction?" In my heart, I was a little interested in this stone ghost.
"The Son of God is just a legend, no one can tell whether it is true or false, and Emperor Xudu is not afraid of these legends. Ma Long laughed and said, "Besides, even if there is a true son of God, it is not certain whether the stone ghosts will wake up." I've been in the underworld for more than 2,000 years, and I've only seen them 'snoring and sleeping' anyway, and I've never seen them wake up. ”。
"Poria cocos. Hearing this, Xiao Shizhu was even more interested, looked down at Xiao Fuling, who happened to hear the words and then tilted his head, looked at him, and asked with interest: "Do you want to go and see the stone ghost?"
"Uh-huh. As long as it is mentioned to something related to play, Xiao Fuling will not refuse to come, and nodded without thinking.
"Then there is the High Priest of Law. Xiao Shizhu smiled indifferently and said, "Take us to visit your stone ghosts." ”。
"It's not a hassle. The high priest smiled, and did not shirk it, but said happily: "Since the Nine Shadows King is interested, the old man will take you to have a look." ”。
After finishing speaking, he led Xiao Shizhu and them to continue walking towards the top of the mountain.
The demons walked another cup of tea, and finally came to the top of the mountain.
At this time, the fog had faded, and the vision was much clearer. Through the gentle light clouds and mist, you can vaguely see that the grass and trees on the mountaintop, which is not very wide, are scarce.
A huge humanoid stone statue of seven feet high, standing in the mist on the top of the mountain, has endured vicissitudes and has not fallen for thousands of years, majestic and magnificent.
They all stand neatly facing north, each stone statue has a different face, expression and costume, but they are all full and round faces, under the thick eyebrows, attached to a pair of copper bell big eyes, and the eyes have black eyes and white eyes, which is particularly expressive.
At first glance, it's hard to tell whether it's a stone statue or a human soul.
"Wow!" Looking at these stone ghosts standing on the top of the mountain like majestic giant warriors, Xiao Lingling's eyes widened full of novelty, and after opening her lips slightly, she didn't close them again.
She has also seen a lot of sculptures in the Jade Que Palace, but whether it is the shape or the expression, the stone ghosts are not so vivid; the sculptures in the Jade Que Palace are lifeless, and the stone ghosts here are looking away, and they will come to life.
Xiao Shizhu quietly used his perception technique, and also sensed that the stone ghost's body was filled with endless soul energy, but as Xiao Si said, all the soul energy was stationary.
Quiet as a sleeping stone ghost.
Xiao Shizhu stared at these stone ghosts for a long time, and a bold idea came to his mind: if he was the son of a god, according to the legend described by Ma Long, he would definitely be able to awaken these stone ghosts.
Judging from the strong and hard physique of the stone ghosts, and the bearded muscles on the limbs, this must be an army with considerable combat effectiveness. Wake up the stone ghost, there is no harm in everything.
