Chapter 48: Monsters
Yin Jiu seemed to be very resistant to that place, and as soon as Luo Tian asked, he showed a nervous expression.
Luo Tian saw something, and continued: "The old man of the official of the Four Seas Martial Pavilion knows, don't look at him, he is a Four Seas Martial Pavilion who watches the gate, but in fact he is a master of the world, if I guess correctly, his ability should be above the national teacher, I can't see through him, I had something to ask for before, and he promised that if I could bring back the colorful gems in the abandoned mine and give them to him, he would help me with this." ”
Yin Jiu wiped his face with a towel and said, "Then I advise you to forget it, that place is very evil." ”
"Impossible, that place is only fifty miles away from Dawang City, if there is danger at such a close distance, the forbidden army would have been bulldozed a long time ago, but it is strange to say, why is there a multicolored gem in an abandoned mine, and why does Guan Wengzhi give me this problem?" Luo Tian also felt that there might be something wrong with this after pondering.
"When I came to Dawangcheng, I happened to pass by there, and at night I stayed in a nearby village, and at night, every house closed its door, and the villagers who let me stay say that there were monsters in their village at night, and if they didn't close the doors and windows, they would probably suffer. "What Yin Jiu said is true.
"That's even more impossible, this is the capital of Yunshan Country, all the wild beasts within a radius of a hundred miles have been wiped out or captured, where are the monsters. "Luo Tian is a hundred do not believe.
"That's what I thought until I saw it with my own eyes. Yin Jiu walked over and said, his expression suddenly becoming very serious.
"I didn't believe in evil on the night I stayed overnight, and you know that I am relatively poor, and there may be a small amount of ore in some abandoned mines, I used to dig in this kind of place, and if I can dig ore, I can save a lot of money, but the mines in your Yunshan Kingdom are owned by princes and nobles, if I dig during the day and are discovered, I am likely to be arrested, so I want to take advantage of the night to see." ”
Luo Tian nodded, didn't open his mouth to interrupt, and waited for Yin Jiu to continue.
"At night I arrived at the abandoned mine, and the moonlight was fine that day, and I observed for a while and found that there were no patrolling guards and slipped in, and the mine was open in all directions, and I did not dare to go deep for fear of getting lost, but not long after I went in, I heard strange cries. Yin Jiu's words began to attract Luo Tian's attention.
"I wondered if there was a girl who had fallen into the mine, and I had to help us, so I followed the cry and went to find something, guess what. Yin Jiu asked.
"Don't tell me it's a monster...; ...;” Luo Tian shook his head and said.
I saw a woman with white wings crying with her back to me, but the lower half of her body was a snake's tail, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to approach it, so I turned and fled. ”
After Yin Jiu finished speaking, Luo Tian laughed and said: "You are lying to people, the upper body is a woman, and the lower body is a snake tail, could it be that the wild beast and the human race are hybridized?"
"Believe it or not, you have to go and don't pull me, I won't accompany you to death. Yin Jiu shouted a little unhappily.
Luo Tian hurriedly leaned in and said with a smile: "You also want to know what kind of gem the old man wants, if there is more than one such gem there, we may be able to make a fortune, and if that gem is beneficial to the forging knife, don't you want to go and see it?"
The mention of the casting knife was like poking Yin Jiu's weakness, and Yin Jiu hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing.
However, it wasn't just the two of them who were really on the road, and Blood Sakura still followed Luo Tian with a dead face.
A group of three people, plus Xiao Hei, took a carriage out of Dawang City.
The carriage was not slow, but it was already afternoon when he arrived at the abandoned mine, and Luo Tian did not enter the mine directly, so Yin Jiu's words still made him mind a little.
First, Yin Jiu is not an exaggerated person, as a swordsmith, he pursues truth in everything he does, just like the war knife he casts, whatever grade is what grade, and he never brags.
Second, when he arrived near the mine, Luo Tian did feel that something was wrong, this mine looked deserted, but generally there will be reminder signs around the mine after mining, and all the mining tools will be removed, but here is not, Luo Tian can see the mining tools littered everywhere, and the wooden houses that have not been removed but have not been abandoned for I don't know how many years, which shows that although this place may be deserted, it may not have been mined, and there is something that makes the miners here give up mining.
Thirdly, it is a sentence from Blood Sakura, as she approaches the abandoned mine, she says, "It seems that many people have died here." ”
The second lady of the Evil Dao Blood Gate has been dealing with dead people since she was a child, and she said that many people have died here, and most of them have problems.
Thinking of what Yin Jiu said during the day, Luo Tian also muttered in his heart.
After observing for a while, there were no patrolling guards, and there was nothing abnormal, but from a distance, it didn't look like an abandoned mine, but like a dead place, and there was always some strange feeling pressing on Luo Tian's heart.
"Let's stay here and take us to the village where you last stayed. Luo Tian saw that the sun was going down, so he said to Yin Jiu.
Yin Jiu took Luo Tian and them to the outside of the village with his memory, the village is not big, there are only about a dozen households, and they can see a few houses lit with lights, but it is obviously not completely night, but the village is deadly silent, not even a wild cat can be seen in the village, and every household closes its doors and windows, and it is quiet and terrible.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the old villager's house where I stayed last time. ”
Yin Jiu took the three of them to a house and knocked on the door, and could hear movement inside, but no one opened the door.
"Fellow, we want to spend the night. Yin Jiu shouted.
"Wow...; ...;” A child's cry could be heard inside, but soon another adult was yelling.
"Don't cry, don't make a sound...; ...;”
There was also fear in the adult's voice, Luo Tian motioned for Yin Jiu to step back, then took out a silver ticket and stuffed it along the crack of the door, and then said: "Fellow, we are not bad people, this is a silver ticket, if you are willing to let us spend the night, this silver ticket is yours." ”
The child inside was still crying, but after a while, a small crack opened in the door, and one eye looked out, Luo Tian took a few steps back and said with a smile: "Fellow, we are not bad people, we are from Dawang City, it is getting late, and we want to come and spend the night." ”
The fellow seemed to see Yin Jiu, so he nodded and said, "You are not a monster, are you?"
"What's the matter, how can we be monsters, open the door. Luo Tian said unhurriedly.
After a while, the villager opened the door and welcomed Luo Tian and the three of them in, the house is not small, the house in the countryside is not very luxurious, there is a backyard and a few empty rooms, but what makes Luo Tian strange is that the walls around the house are very high, about three or four meters, as if the whole house is surrounded.
"That's all you have to do, huh...; ...;” After the fellow confirmed that Luo Tian had no malicious intentions, his attitude eased a little.
Luo Tian handed over the silver ticket and said, "If there is anything to eat, help us get some by the way." ”
The fellow smiled as soon as he saw the silver ticket, while he was going to get food, Luo Tian walked around the house, in addition to some farm tools, Luo Tian also found a few weapons, although it is not a good product, but it is often sharpened at a glance, and the blade is shiny without a trace of rust.
"How come the peasants here have hidden their weapons, and it seems that they still grind them often, strange...; ...;”
At this time, Luo Tian began to gradually believe in the monster words of Yin Jiu.
The farmer's food is definitely not as good as the Liushang Building, Yin Jiu thought that Luo Tian was not used to eating, but he didn't expect Luo Tian to be quite happy eating pickles while gnawing on his nest.
"How are you used to eating?" Yin Jiu asked strangely.
"What's this, I'm often hungry when I'm in the sea of corpses, and I'm so happy to have a nest to eat, by the way, fellow, I heard that you guys are making monsters here, really?" Luo Tian asked.
The fellow nodded and said, "Yes, it's a lot of trouble, and the monster ate a few village dolls during the Chinese New Year this year." ”
"What kind of monster?" Luo Tian continued.
"I haven't seen it, but I've heard that it's a woman with a snake's tail, who can fly, who can cry, who loves to eat children, it's so scary. When the fellow spoke, he also pulled his doll into his arms, obviously talking about the tiger's color change.
