Chapter 425: More Than Two Hundred Years Ago

The old man's opening aroused Chen Feifei's appetite. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info So, he poured himself another cup of tea and quietly waited for everyone's words.

"Lao Zhang, you definitely don't know as well as me about the story of this ghost town. Hey. The middle-aged man just now said with a smug expression.

"Oh?" said the old man, half-squinting, leaning back in his chair and brushing his beard, "Tell me about it." ”

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry to speak, first took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Everyone here, it must not be the first time to come here. Why is this ghost town so terrible at night, who knows a thing or two?"

Of the more than 20 people present, most of them were silent, only a middle-aged man with a big belly, gorgeously dressed, and a businessman's appearance replied: "I heard that it is related to Yizi Mountain, what is going on, and it is also hearsay below, so I can't say why." ”

"It seems that this brother does know something. The middle-aged man smiled, not dissatisfied because the other party knew a little about it, and continued, "One of my ancestors once walked the rivers and lakes and witnessed the origin of the name ghost town, and then he married a wife and had children here, lived here for more than 20 years, and finally left this place overnight with his family in order to avoid the enemy. ”

In this way, Lao Huang knows the origin of the name ghost town better than some of the people who live here. One person in the crowd spoke his mind.

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded at the man, then looked around again, and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, then Huang will continue." ”

Chen Feifei was originally a little interested in this ghost town, and since someone said it, he was naturally willing to listen. The middle-aged man surnamed Huang was indeed able to speak well, and he talked for an hour, putting aside those things about his ancestors, Chen Feifei also roughly understood the origin of this ghost town.

The ancestor of the middle-aged man was just a nameless junior in the rivers and lakes, no matter how much the middle-aged man boasted, Chen Feifei was no longer a calf who had just entered the rivers and lakes, and he would have been able to identify it a long time ago.

Speaking of ghost towns, it is estimated that it started more than 300 years ago, when ghost towns were not even cities, not even a small village, but because there is a word mountain, the rivers and lakes who come here are indeed endless, and gradually more people stay here, some come here to do business, and some come here to explore, and then the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and it has become a city unconsciously. But at that time, it was not called a ghost town, and I am afraid that no one knows what this city was called now, until more than 200 years ago, an incident happened, so to speak, and this incident has a great connection with the fact that this place was called a ghost town later.

More than 200 years ago, the Longding Kingdom was already a strong soldier, and the reigning emperor at that time was an ambitious person, he was unwilling to only own these territories in front of him, and wanted to cross the four frontiers and expand the territory of the Longding Kingdom. So, after five years of preparation, he sent four generals to the south, south, and north. One of them, a general named Fu Mingbo, was sent here, and he led an army of 100,000 men with the intention of conquering Yizi Mountain. In fact, not only the army, but also many heroes who walked the rivers and lakes were also summoned here, of course, some were invited by the government, and some came by themselves, according to the words of the middle-aged man, his ancestors belonged to the former.

The 100,000 troops did not enter Yizi Mountain as soon as they arrived here, but set up camp near this ghost town to make preparations, and this stay was two months. The reason why he didn't enter Yizi Mountain for two months was because General Fu was waiting for someone, this person was his friend, a Taoist priest who traveled all over the world, and after the Taoist priest came here, everyone stopped staying and set off for Yizi Mountain. The army of 100,000, plus those people in the rivers and lakes, such a large group of people marched into Yizi Mountain, naturally fearless, Lao Huang's ancestors were also full of confidence at that time, and they were a little excited to think about it when they thought of being able to cross Yizi Mountain and find a new world.

During the day, it was fine, but at night, things slowly began to change. The mountain was not just a mountain, but a group of rolling hills, and the general Fu and his Taoist friend led the vanguard to climb over one hill before sunset, and planned to spend the night at the foot of the other mountain. Sleeping in the open is a common occurrence for the army, but the difficulty is that the number of 100,000 troops is too much, so everyone overcomes thorns and thorns and rests in batches near their own places.

The first day of entering the mountain went so smoothly, the general Fu was naturally in a good mood, but the Taoist priest who accompanied him was worried, and kept muttering words that others couldn't understand. Although in this mountain, as soon as the sun sets, everyone feels the yin wind blowing, but everyone doesn't care much, after all, this kind of night wind in the mountains has not been encountered. But after most of the people had fallen asleep, something strange happened, and in addition to the yin wind, there was also a trace of black air in the mountains.

The Taoist priest naturally hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was sitting on the edge of the fire at the moment, seeing the black gas appearing around him, he hurriedly threw out all the charms on his body, and there were words in his mouth. Strange to say, as soon as the black gas touched the charms, it was like a mouse dodging in all directions when it saw a cat, but how could those charms give them a chance, as soon as they touched the black gas, they turned into flames and burned with them. In an instant, the Taoist priest was surrounded by fire, and while he threw a charm, he woke up everyone around him.

That General Fu Ming Bofu had already fallen asleep after drinking a little wine, and he was also called out in a daze by the variables that appeared all of a sudden, and the Taoist priest hurriedly told General Fu some of his views and ideas when he saw this. Looking at the more and more black qi around him, General Fu was at a loss in his heart, since the friend beside him had a way, then he could only do it, after all, this kind of mysterious and mysterious thing is still better at Taoism. The Taoist priest's method is actually a desperate method, that is, let everyone go together to find the source of the black gas, this method is the simplest and most effective method, and of course the most stupid method.

But the situation at that time was urgent, and the invasion of the black qi had caused many soldiers to be drowsy, and some of them were weak and boneless, and they fell to the ground and never woke up. So, General Fu didn't delay, and led everyone to pick up torches and look around for the source of the black gas.

At this moment, the ancestor surnamed Huang was sleeping on the top of the mountain, because no one disturbed him, and he slept peacefully in this wilderness. When he woke up, the surroundings were already in turmoil, the soldiers were all in a hurry, and the brothers who had come with him had long since disappeared. But there was no second person other than him, and he grabbed a soldier who was walking forward quickly and asked, but the other party only told him that something had happened in front of him, and as for what was going on, he couldn't say, but he was ordered to move forward.

The ancestor surnamed Huang asked without a head, and the other party also answered without a clue, and this result naturally did not satisfy him, so he planned to go forward to see what was going on. As soon as he went down to the halfway up the mountain, he saw someone running back, his eyes were sharp, and he found that one of them was a Jianghu brother he knew before, and he hurriedly stopped him to ask him what happened in front of him, but the man ignored him at all, his face was full of fear, as if he was frightened, and ran to the top of the mountain by himself.

His ancestors were not stupid, seeing that the situation was like this, they knew that something dangerous must have happened in front of them, and these people in the martial arts were originally here to join in the fun, how could they lose their lives for this matter. But he ran back with everyone without raising eyebrows, which was not in line with his character, so he stopped another person.
