Chapter 52: The Mountain of Cannibalism
"The beast is lost, and the loss is nothing but money. If the child is lost, that's a big deal. Su came from afar, and he can be regarded as having seen some things, and if he can help this time, he will definitely not refuse. ”
Yun Su didn't have a clue for a while, so he could only say a little more from the mouths of the people in this Niulan Village.
"To tell you the truth, the old man and the young men in the village have been guarding for two nights in a row, and there are bright posts and secret posts in various places in the village, but nothing was found, and two more cows were lost last night.
In the past few days, people with children have slept in different places, for fear that one of them will be lost accidentally. ”
Village Chief Niu took a long breath, only to feel that when he said it, he seemed to feel much better in his heart, and talking to this person, there was a feeling of being quite reassuring.
"This is a loss of animals and children, but anyone has seen the whereabouts of the thief, or witnessed the thief committing a crime?"
"This is the strange thing, no one has seen the thief commit the crime, and he has not found the whereabouts of the thief, and often he loses it after turning around, and then he can't find it alive or dead. ”
Gradually, the conversation between Village Chief Niu and Yunsu attracted onlookers from other villagers, all of whom sat around the bonfire.
"Uncle Niu, do you think it could be that the legendary sacred mountain is eating people again?"
"Yes, the madman Li in the village has been saying everywhere in the past two days that Shenshan is eating people again. ”
"My grandfather said that a few decades ago, Mount Kinabalu also ate people. ”
"Nonsense, didn't the villagers who were lost that time say that they were captured and eaten by Daxian!"
"What about the loss of a lot of cattle, sheep and horses ten years ago?"
"Didn't the Sun family dig down the mountain temple and cause the gods to drop their wrath? ”
The villagers had different opinions, but the face of the village chief Niu became more and more angry, and he burst into a loud shout:
"Well, you can also talk about such taboos as the sacred mountain. ”
Many villagers were suddenly dumbfounded, bowed their heads and drank water, not daring to mention the matter of Shenshan again.
"What are you doing sitting here, Niu Dashan and Niu Xiaoer stay, and the others go to patrol the night. ”
"Oh......"
The villagers gradually dispersed, and in the lively courtyard, there were suddenly four people left.
"Mr. Su is a guest from afar, Dashan, you go and get a rabbit to roast, Xiao Er, you boil more water, and when everyone comes back, there is water to drink, and then soak your feet. ”
Niu Dashan, who was dressed as a reckless hunter, hurriedly agreed, turned around and went busily, and there were only three people left in the courtyard for a while.
"It's so troublesome, but Su can't help it, so the rabbit doesn't need to be roasted. ”
"It's not troublesome, it's a cold day, since you have come to Niulan Village, you are a guest. ”
Yun Su saw that the village chief of Niu was thoughtful, and obviously knew about the rumored cannibalistic god mountain, so he was not in a hurry, but just grabbed the strange things in the village and asked.
"Village Chief Niu, did these embarrassing things happen during the day or at night?"
"Nighttime. ”
"With all due respect, I just heard everyone mention that similar things have happened in the village before, dare to ask Village Chief Niu, what happened before and what happened this time, is there any connection and similarity?"
Village Chief Niu hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"There were many wild beasts in this mountainous area, and it was not uncommon for jackals, tigers and leopards to eat livestock and people. In addition to these, there are also those great immortals from all walks of life, which we cannot afford to offend, and occasionally offended, it is a disaster.
Most of the time, people and animals are killed, and some clues can be found, and sometimes they can be rescued.
In contrast, this time there were more people and animals lost, and the three people lost were still children, and there were no clues for a while, alas. ”
Yun Su Moran, the so-called Great Immortal, may be the collective name of some mountain spirits and wild monsters and monsters by the mountain people, after all, ordinary people can't distinguish these aliens.
While the two were talking, Niu Dashan had already taken out a rabbit from the snowdrift, and he took care of it with his hands and feet, inserted it with a wooden stick, brushed it with oil, put it on the fire, and roasted it.
After a while, the smell of meat overflows.
"Village Chief Niu, if it is an ordinary mountain spirit and wild monster monster, Su has some ways to get rid of evil and evil. The lives of children are at stake, and I will stay with you tonight to guard those thieves.
However, if it is related to that taboo, I am afraid that there is nothing that can be done. ”
This place is far away from Yuyang for eight thousand miles, Yunsu not only has to stay, but also to eat and drink, seeing these simple mountain people are exhausted by the sudden bad luck, people are panicked, if they can help, they don't mind helping.
When the village chief Niu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Yunsu, and felt that the more he looked at it, the more extraordinary he became, even if a person dared to travel far away in the ice and snow, he still seemed to be a weak person, and he was afraid that he had read books.
Most of this person is similar to those old carpenters, old blacksmiths, and pig killers who go to the village and go from house to house, and they all have a bit of means in their hands.
"Since Su Xiao, no, Mr. Su intends to help, and the old man is naturally grateful. ”
Village Chief Niu stood up and bowed, then sat back on the wooden bench, looked left and right, and said in a low voice.
"The matter of the taboo mountain, in fact, the older generation in the village is also passed down from generation to generation, but there are too many future generations, I am afraid that they will not be strict in their mouths, and the old man will not dare to talk about it, since Mr. Su wants to help the village, the old man naturally knows everything. ”
Yun Su said secretly, here, let's see what secrets these people who have lived here for a long time have discovered the Heavenly Remnant Sword Burial.
"This taboo sacred mountain, since ancient times is a forbidden land within a radius of hundreds of miles, Niulan Village is eight hundred years ago, the ancestors surnamed Niu fled here to establish, the genealogy records, in the early years, there are often people from the rivers and lakes and immortals from all walks of life go to the taboo mountain, however, there are many people who go, but they have never seen people come out.
The ancestors of Niujia Village, in order to make some money at the beginning, also helped those forces lead the way, until one time, they saw a force of hundreds of people in the rivers and lakes, entered the sacred mountain, waited for a year and did not see anyone come out, and since then they have never dared to set foot near the sacred mountain.
Moreover, not only our Niujia Village, but also other villages in the mountains have similar rumors, this sacred mountain eats people, only enters but does not leave, that is known to everyone, and they all say that it is a Jedi who is ten deaths.
Five hundred years ago, a lot of immortals came to the sacred mountain overnight, many bold mountain people have seen it, all over the sky, that time the movement was very big, thunder and lightning, fire and flooding, the whole three days and three nights of trouble, and finally someone saw those immortals also entered the sacred mountain, and then there was no follow-up.
Since then, there have been very few people coming.
By the way, it is rumored that a few immortals from Longshan came to various villages to warn everyone not to set foot in a radius of ten miles from Shenshan, otherwise there will be a strange disaster. ”
Yun Su thought about it, this forbidden sacred mountain must be the Heavenly Remnant Sword Burial, in such a small range, there can never be two forbidden places, and it has such a great attraction for people who cultivate immortals and those who practice martial arts, and it is the only one.
Normally speaking, if an immortal cultivator discovers any forbidden land, he must open it at all costs, and then the so-called destined people get a lot of treasures, and even luckier ones may even inherit the entire forbidden land.
However, Yunsu was skeptical of these good fortunes. The biggest problem in this is that the forbidden land is too kind.
However, the words of the village chief Niu are very credible.
Not everyone of the cultivators is low-key, there are many stories of encountering immortals in the ancient books of the Dacheng Dynasty, and this is a deep mountain and old forest, the cultivators have nothing to shy away from, the three days and three nights of commotion are obviously casting spells to attack the forbidden law barrier of the Heavenly Remnant Sword Burial, and since they have entered it, they think they have successfully broken in.
It's just that I haven't seen it, and if it's fake, forget it.
But if it's true, it's terrible.
After all, it is not possible for every cultivator to hide immediately after the Heavenly Remnant Sword Burial, Edgeworth flies away, most monks should not be able to fly, and they will not beat gongs and drums when they come, so that even mortals know about it, and when they leave, they will spend mana, cast illusions, and escape with their tails between their legs.
This Niu Village Chief is a real ordinary person, and what he says is not necessarily the truth, but it must be what he knows.
Yun Su has this self-confidence, and he has also cast spells to probe.
As for the immortals of Longshan, Yunsu has never heard of it, but from the book left by Zhang Yifan, he knows that there is a cave in the Dacheng Dynasty, called Yushan, where there is an almost unborn Mang Mountain Sword School, known as the first immortal gate of the Dacheng Dynasty.
Yun Su sorted out his thoughts, whether it was Zhang Yifan's diary or the secret that Village Chief Niu said, the remnant sword burial on this day didn't seem like a good place.
Moreover, it should be quite dangerous here, otherwise, even according to the records of Niulan Village, this place has only existed for a thousand years, in fact, it is naturally far more than that, and the remnant sword burial on this day is something that even Yunsu feels bad for, and it is very likely to be related to the ancient monks.
Since it has been discovered for at least more than a thousand years, with the speed of news transmission in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it should be known to the forces within hundreds of thousands of miles.
The Yanshan Sword Sect is known as the first immortal sect in Dacheng, since it has interfered in the affairs here, but it can't be solved, and it may not be good to come to other immortal cultivation forces from afar.
I just don't know how many bigwigs are secretly planted in this inconspicuous mountain nest.
"Uncle, Mr. Su, it's baked. ”
Niu Dashan divided the roasted rabbits, skewered them and handed them to the village chief and Yunsu.
Yunsu took the roast rabbit, thanked the other party, tasted it, it tasted really good, the skin was crispy and the meat was crispy, while eating, his consciousness quietly poked out, covering the entire Niulan Village, and secretly watched.
I want to see what kind of mountain spirits and monsters are doing it.
After eating half a rabbit and drinking a bowl of brick tea, as soon as he put down the bowl, his heart moved, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and his divine sense had seen something.
"It's coming. ”
It's just strange that this sneaky thing is not just one group, but two groups.
