Chapter 31: There is a big demon in Skull Mountain
"Huh?"
I didn't expect this old man Wang, who didn't look amazing, to be the mausoleum protector of Chiyou Tomb!
This was indeed very unexpected by Zhang Ran, and he couldn't help asking: "Since you are a mausoleum protector, why have you fallen into this situation?"
"Childe didn't expect it, right? I was originally a descendant of Jiuli Miao! After Chiyou was killed, the ancestor moved to Chiyou Mound, intending to wait for an opportunity to steal Chiyou's head and re-expand the Jiuli tribe.
However, the ancestors have guarded it for hundreds of years, and they have not been able to find a chance to enter the Chiyou Tomb ......"
When the old king talked about the past, the confusion on his face was even more than a little better.
It turned out that after Xuanyuan buried Chi You's head here, he was not at ease, and was worried that he would come back from the dead, so he sent someone to suppress it with a congenital stubborn stone.
This congenital stubborn stone is not simple, it was born outside the Xuanhuang of heaven and earth, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, the glory of the sun and the moon, and over time, it has already conceived a profound Yuan Ling.
The Jiuli people are difficult to compete with it, so they can only turn to silently guard, fortunately, this stubborn stone spirit, pure nature, does not embarrass the Jiuli people, and the two sides are safe.
However, three hundred years ago, somehow there was a big demon in Chiyou Mound, who ate people's hearts, not only the surrounding people suffered, but even the Jiuli people were not spared.
The stubborn stone that suppressed the tomb did not show up again......
"In my generation, only the old man is left, and the last wish to re-strengthen the Jiuli tribe has become unattainable. What's more, Chi You Tomb is now guarded by a big demon, so why do I need to stay with me anymore?"
The old king smiled bitterly and continued: "In desperation, the old man had no choice but to escape from Skull Mountain and live in the big city, making a living as a storyteller. I only go back once in a while, and I look at it from a distance, and I am afraid that I will be discovered by the goblins!"
"I see! It's hard for you. Could it be that the elders of Jiuli haven't contacted you for so many years?"
Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh.
Sometimes holding on has become meaningless, but being forgotten is even more terrifying......
When the old king heard this, he sighed: "It is said that at the beginning, there were still people in the tribe who often came to see it. After the big demon appeared, the tribal elders had no choice, so they gradually stopped coming. Now, I'm afraid that I have long forgotten my seedling!"
"I don't know the elder, can you take us to Chiyou Mound to have a look?"
Zhang Ran couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, fortunately he met this person.
Otherwise, a few people will not be able to find out a little bit about Chi You Tomb even if they look for another ten days and half a month.
Although there is a big demon on Skull Mountain, for the sake of Li Ergou, he has to break through.
"You are actually going to Chiyou Mound, although I don't know why you are going, but I still have to advise my son not to go...... It's not entirely because it's called Skull Hill now. I don't know how many people have been buried in it, how can it be a waste of fame!"
When the old king heard that Zhang Ran was going to Chiyou Mound, he hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.
"Since you don't want to go, I don't force it, thank you for the reminder of the elders! I won't hide it from you, although we are not from Jiuli, but we are from Jiuli. Now, even though I know that Skull Mountain is dangerous, I have to go there, and I really have to go to it......
"It's not that the old man doesn't want to take you there, it's just that he is worried about your safety. Since you insist on going, the old man can lead the way, and I haven't been there for nearly a year anyway.
You are a guest of the tribe, and you are also a guest of the old age, even if I do something for the tribe one last time, although the elders have long forgotten about me. ”
"In this way, then there will be work!" Zhang Ran bowed.
After a hurried lunch, a group of several people headed for Skull Mountain.
After walking for a short time, I saw a low mountain in front of me, the forest on the mountain was sparse, but it was also lush, and the occasional clearing was overgrown with half-man-high wild grass, and there was no sign of skeletons.
If the name is not true, there must be a mystery!
Zhang Ran muttered and dropped the cloud incense fan in front of the mountain.
"Big boss, do we really want to go in? There's a big demon here, why do you risk it for me......"
As soon as he stepped into the path up the mountain, Li Ergou only felt a cold wind blowing, and he couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly shouted.
"Huh, this dog is a monster?"
The old king suddenly heard the black dog speak, and an arrow stepped behind Zhang Ran, extremely vigorous.
It seems that it is all an instinctive reaction to avoid the big demon, otherwise there is a huge Jiuli Miao descendant, how can he be the only one left.
"You're a monster, I just look like a dog!" Li Ergou glanced at Lao Wang's head in disgust, and barked at him a few times.
"Chang Gung, Hugh is rude!" Zhang Ran stopped Li Ergou and said to the old king: "Don't be afraid, elder, Chang Geng is just unwilling to be a dog, and he doesn't have a bad heart......"
Zhang Ran continued to walk forward, and there was a bluestone archway, with only some thunder patterns on it, but no half of the handwriting.
I only felt that the wind was gusting, and there was a faint sound of complaint......
Those voices, at first heard a little distant, not very clear, in an instant as if they were near, but still inaudible, only to feel a murmuring sound piercing the eardrums, straight into the head.
It's really evil!
"Little brother, did you hear anything? I'm going to die!" Yu Jiaoniang's expression had become ugly, and it was obvious that she had heard it too.
"Do you hear the grumbling? It doesn't matter, you put this in your mouth and you don't hear it. ”
I saw that the old king did not know where to pick some weeds and leaves, and handed them to them.
"What is this?" asked Yu Jiaoniang suspiciously.
"I don't know what it is, but I stumbled upon it to block out these nasty sounds. The old king said with a smile, "Over the years, I have relied on this blade of grass every time to avoid the big demon!"
Zhang Ran puffed the leaves in his mouth, and it was really easy to use.
The babbling and whining around the original surroundings disappeared in an instant!
No wonder this little old man can live for so long, it really makes sense......
After passing through the stone archway, I walked about a few hundred paces forward, and turned a small valley with a steep cliff bank.
The old king stopped and said, "I'll send you here." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a boy's voice from the cliff: "I'll take you in, right?"
Zhang Ran couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and when he looked up, he saw a boy with a green bun, about twelve or thirteen years old, standing on a raised stone on the cliff bank.
Is there anyone else in this Skull Mountain? and it's a child......
Looking at the old king again, the whole person's face has changed!
"Old Wangtou, this time is good! Send two people at a time, and I won't trouble you! You can go back!" the blue-haired boy laughed and said loudly.
When Zhang Ran heard this, he looked at the old king in amazement, only to see him smile bitterly:
"Childe, why do you think I can escape for my life under the hands of the Great Demon?"
