Volume 4 [Eight Realms Chaoyi] 342: Four columns of corpses hanging on stormy nights
The wind and rain were obscure in the middle of the night around the mountains in Dayang, and the evil wind gusted and did not know where to go. The sound of the wind was like the moaning of a group of dying people. The drizzle flickered from south to north without direction, whipping the century-old trees and destroying the verdant landscape.
The thunder roared in the low clouds, making one wonder if there was a demon behind the dark clouds that had been unjustly killed, finally breaking through the shackles of light, and surging into a brutal wildness that wanted to bring darkness with them.
The lightning flickered, like a demon waving the divine fork in his hand, slamming into the ground, trying to destroy this mother earth, which carries all things and feeds thousands of children.
Mu Qiuyang and Lu Shaoan each led a team to go up the mountain in the east and west. Sometimes it's like a long snake, and sometimes it's like a 'zhi' word stacked wrongly. The torches shivered and swayed in the wind and rain, lit and extinguished, extinguished and burned, and finally had to be thrown away by all members. With a flash of lightning, the light of the turtle moved forward quickly.
The people at the foot of the mountain prophesied that it would rain for nearly ten days. They knew that this was a move from the bottom line, but in order to find out the news of the ancient tomb as soon as possible, they had to overcome many difficulties and take risks. The day may be safer than the night, but it is also easy to leak out of the vision of the heads. Instead of exposing yourself to the light, it is better to explore the mountains late at night.
They walked for an hour, and finally crossed the first mountain range of the Dayang Ring Mountain, and cut close to the central area. Originally, this mountain was surrounded by several strong foothills. In the middle is the largest mountain with a first-class stream at the base of the mountain. If you look down from the air, the entire Dayang Mountain is like a stone into a calm picture, with undulating ripples.
Due to the sudden heavy rain, the originally inconspicuous mountain spring stream became a little flooded. They rolled up their trouser legs and waded hand in hand across the stream, listening to the humming of the stream. The dense rain particles hit the rushing water, like a happy girl jumping lightly.
The joy of the river reflects the fear of everyone, whether it is the black shadow that has been rubbed from the body, like an invisible hidden weapon, which may blind everyone's eyes at any time. It was a swarm of active bats, wielding sharp blade-like wings, sweeping across the mountain skin.
The creek is not deep, but without the light of the torches, the visibility is too low, so it is impossible to see the bottom of the water. Everyone is holding hands just in case. Fortunately, this group of people have been trained by the Three Good Sects, and they have a very tacit understanding with each other.
After crossing the stream, they began to line up horizontally, climbing up to the central peak in a 'one' shape. The mountain is not steep, the bad thing is that it is overgrown. Although it can sometimes be a lifesaver for everyone to climb, it can be used as a reliable gripper for humans on slippery hillsides. But most of these dwarf trees are rosewood species, armed with dense branches with sharp needles, so that people dare not grasp them at will.
There are always more ways than difficulties, Lu Shaoan ordered all the team members to take off their clothes, wrap their hands with strips of cloth, and drag the bushes with teeth and claws all the way to climb quickly. Sure enough, it worked, and in less than two quarters of an hour I climbed up the mountainside.
Shao'an saw that his actions were quite effective, so he found a slightly flat place and arranged for everyone to rest for a while. He also took advantage of this incident to blow the dark whistle. The loud whistle quickly spread over the hill in the noisy night rain. Not long after, the same whistle sounded melodiously from the other end.
"Brothers, Mu Xianxian's team is not far from us. After a little bit of effort, we will soon be able to meet them at the top of the mountain. Lu Shao'an's encouragement to the disciples increased the momentum of mountaineering, and the brothers stood up one after another, ready to go all out.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning instantly illuminated everyone's faces. When his pupils contracted suddenly, a brother ...... in exclamation.
Lu Shaoan was defenseless and startled by his roar. So he hurriedly turned his gaze to the position where he had just spoken. The crystal raindrops fell like a drop of mercury, decorating the bright world with silver light, and also allowing Lu Shaoan to vaguely see the brother's face.
He didn't suffer any sudden accidents, but what did that exclamation just now mean?' With this doubt, Lu Shaoan raised his voice and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The people around were also confused, staring blankly at the person who had just shouted. The man seemed to be frightened by something, and his trembling voice showed great panic: "Ghosts, ghosts, I just saw a ghost watching our ....... β
'-Click!' was another flash of lightning, just in time to see what the goblin of his mouth was.
Unexpectedly, when everyone looked around with the electric light, nature returned to its original appearance.
"Brother, you're too timid, aren't you? We didn't see anything just now, so what's the ghost?" one of the brothers laughed at him for being as timid as a mouse.
Suddenly, another unexpected flash of lightning was fleeting. After the light was extinguished, another brother exclaimed: "Ahββ ghost, there are really ghosts!"
The reaction of many people only shows that their fears are not groundless. Those who had not seen the ghosts could not perceive the fear, but they were frightened by the startling voices of the two men, and looked around in the darkness .......
"Where's the ghost?" asked another brother in a panic.
As soon as the words fell, there was a short exclamation, and a brother was hung from a tree, and he didn't even have time to struggle before he became a hanging corpse. The cloth shoe fell and smashed on the head of another disciple impartially.
The crowd found him hanging from a tree and rushed to the rescue. Unexpectedly, when the two disciples who went up to rescue him saw the face of that person, they screamed at the same time and fell. Instead of saving people, he was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, covered his ears and shook his head, crying bitterly: "Ghost!
It's not big or small, but it's terrible. Their reaction made all the disciples feel inexplicably trembling. Without discussion, they are gathered back to back, and the waist knife is drawn to respond to sudden danger at any time.
Lu Shaoan saw that things were not good, and he died here unjustly before he saw Zhenjun. The enemy is dark and I am clear, and it is really not easy to act rashly. So he shouted to the sky: "Who is making a monster here? If you have the courage, you will come out to fight." "Hackers
As soon as the words fell, another brother left only one word of last words, and then the car was overturned, and the tragedy repeated. In less than a quarter of an hour, two of them had been hoisted into a tree. The murderer is weird and varied, if there is no real ghost, things are indeed a bit ridiculous. Even in the depths of the night, it has not reached the point where you can't see your fingers. Why can't you even see the trace of the murderer?
Lu Shaoan was a little panicked and hurriedly blew the whistle here. Four whistles in a row are a symbol of danger. Xu is from ancient times to the present, and the descendants of China have regarded the four characters as the number of death. Therefore, Mu Qiuyang and Lu Shaoan also specified the distress signal as four whistles.
In a moment, there were also four whistles from that side. Lu Shaoan panicked even more: "Oh no, there is also a situation on Brother Qiuyang's side." It seems that there is more than one murderer. β
Seeing that Lu Shaoxin was pessimistic, the brothers around him hurriedly asked: "Then, what should we do? If we stand stupidly like this, we will definitely be killed! I am not afraid of death, but I haven't even seen the face of the enemy, so we died in vain, and the brothers will not be blind to death!"
'-Ah!'
As he spoke, another brother was hung from a tree and became a hanged ghost.
Lu Shaoan also knew that it was not a way to go on like this, so he ordered: "All the staff go down the mountain and evacuate this place." No matter what method is used, as long as you save your life and rush back to the battalion commander. When we see Mu Xianxian, let's think about it in the long run. Lu Shao'an's words sounded like evacuation, but in fact, it was to let them flee for their lives.
Everyone was 'ordered to be in danger', and in the past, they were all ordered to charge into battle and move forward bravely. At this moment, they were given the order to flee urgently. This fully embodies the benevolence and righteousness of the Three Senses. It is this benevolence that keeps them loyal to them.
It's not easy to climb a mountain, it's easy to escape. Lu Shaoan never expected that the speed of this group of people escaping was far better than the speed of mountaineering, and they were all gone in the blink of an eye. He had to do his final work here, wrapping strips of cloth around a tree to prove that he had been there. The fourfold strip of cloth indicates that four brothers died here.
The night rain was pouring on the mountain, and in the tent under the mountain, Mu Tong and Li Meijiao were as anxious as fire. From time to time, the two looked around, worried that the rain would bring some kind of accident to everyone.
"I don't know if it will be dangerous for Lu Gongzi to enter the mountain late at night....... Li Meijiao didn't know when, she had already developed an attachment to Lu Shaoan.
Mu Tong also sighed: "Yes, my brother will have a rash on his body when he gets wet in the rain, and this time I think he will inevitably be bedriddenββ Sister Jiaojiao? Let's go cook! I see that the time is almost up, and the brothers will definitely be hungry when they come back after a night of rushing on the mountain road." It's better to let them eat hot and have a good rest!"
Li Meijiao nodded: "I'm good at cooking, why don't you leave it to me!" Sister Mu Tong helped make a pot of ginger tea, so as to ward off the cold for the soldiers. β
As soon as the two of them were about to turn back, they saw a crowd of people panting towards the camp. Mu Tongyan said: "I'm back, it's Brother Lu's team ......." β
When Li Meijiao heard this, she immediately looked forward to it, looking forward to Lu Shao'an returning safely in her mind. After a while, they all returned to the camp one after another. As soon as Lu Shaoan and Mu Qiuyang met, they tacitly avoided the disciples and talked secretly.
Mu Tong and Li Meijiao cooked a hot meal to comfort the people who returned from these stormy nights. Being able to eat the food cooked by Li Meijiao, the disciples have realized the beauty of life even more. After all, she used to be the maid of the Zunwu Sect, and she specially served Condensing Xiang and Wu Zhe in the Ning Xiang Pavilion. If she didn't have good cooking skills and talents, how could Condensation Incense stay with her?
When the brothers tasted such a delicious meal for the first time, they rejoiced that they had survived. It can be seen how important it is to be good at running away in life.
Seeing that the brothers were eating with relish, Li Meijiao also showed a proud smile.
Suddenly, a brother began to turn around. He threw away the chopsticks in his hand and vomited while holding his stomach. Then, the brothers around him began to vomit one after another. Some even lay on the ground in pain.
Dozens of tents began to moan one after another. Mu Qiuyang and Lu Shaoan heard the movement outside in the private tent, and rushed out to investigate. The two ran to Mu Tong and Li Meijiao, and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
Li Meijiao's face was already stunned. Mu Tong opened the curtain of a camp tent and said with a blank face: "I don't know, they are fine when they eat, how can this be?......γ β
Mu Qiuyang hurriedly said: "-There is a problem with the rice!"
Li Meijiao was suspicious of Mu Qiuyang for no reason, and naturally panicked in her heart: "No, no! I have washed all the ingredients for cooking, there will be no problem!"
Mu Qiuyang said: "Then why is Shao'an and I okay? They are both brothers who have eaten, and Shao'an and I have been discussing the important task of patrolling the mountain, and we haven't had time to eat at all. So we're all right. β
Li Meijiao defended: "But I have also eaten my cooking, and I am fine, please believe me ......." β
Lu Shaoan didn't dare to make a judgment on the side, while trying to believe Li Meijiao and defend it. But thinking about it, Mu Qiuyang's suspicion was not illogical. So I don't know how to determine for a while. I can only ask Li Meijiao: "You made today's meal?"
Li Meijiao nodded: "Yes, I just saw that Sister Mu Tong was too tired by herself, and I wanted to help her share some of it." Moreover, I am very grateful for your care and care these days. I also want to make some modest efforts for everyone, that's all. β
