Chapter 148: Valley of the Dead
Hey, isn't it a strange thing, but fortunately, this thing is afraid of light and fire, and it will only come out once every long time, so we don't take it seriously, but the last few times this zombie is more and more, I'm worried that one day I won't even be afraid of fire, and then it will suffer. Seeing Mrs. Li's worried face, Yao Sanming nodded: "Also, it's always good to make plans early." β
"Who's to say no, if you two have nothing to do at night, don't stay outside, this mountain is very dangerous. β
"Thanks for the reminder, Shaoyang, let's go in. β
"Hey. "Mrs. Li's family has lived here for generations, but because the place is remote, no one has come to this place for several years or even decades.
Counting, the nearest from here is also more than ten miles away from Zhangjiazhuang, the two ethnic groups are roughly the same in terms of population and young and strong proportions, and they have intermarried with each other over the years, which is considered to be a generational family.
Mrs. Li has a total of two sons, the eldest son is married, the younger son is twenty-one years old, and he has also reached the age of marriage.
Because of this, Mrs. Li specially reserved an empty bed, otherwise Zhang Shaoyang and the three of them might have to sleep in the mountains again.
At night, Mrs. Li's eldest son and Zhang Shaoyang and Yao Sanming were crammed into a slightly larger bed, and Xi Wan lived with Mrs. Li's eldest daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Li's eldest son's name is Li Shun, he is not tall, but he is not small, and he pinched the green tendons on his arms, which were thicker than Zhang Shaoyang's small arms.
After beckoning Zhang Shaoyang and the two to lie down, Li Shun blew out the candles, stripped and lay down by the moonlight reflected in the window.
Zhang Shaoyang had long been very curious about the butterfly and the so-called Valley of the Dead just now, and when Li Shun had just fallen asleep, he hurriedly asked: "Brother Li, tell me what is going on in the Valley of the Dead!" Li Shun scratched his belly and said recklessly: "Speaking of which, I really don't know, I guess my father doesn't know." β
"But, I've heard my grandfather say before that there are either demons or gods in this Valley of the Dead, and those who go in are either eaten by monsters or become immortals in the sky. Yao Sanming smiled indifferently after hearing this: "If there are demons, you have lived for so many years and have not been caught and eaten early, and most of them are immortals." Li Shun immediately turned over and sat up when he heard this, and said in surprise: "The old gentleman also thinks so?" Actually, I also think so, when I was a child, I always went to the valley to bump into the fairy, but now that I have a wife and a child, this mind is broken, and I don't dare to go in if I make a fuss. β
"Oh, listen to you, didn't this zombie before?"
"No, it was a few years ago and it came out of nowhere. Yao Sanming pondered for a while and didn't say anything more. Li Shun didn't say anything anymore, and after a while, he suddenly remembered again, and hurriedly said, "Old man, are you going east?"
"Not bad!"
"The Valley of the Dead happens to be in the east, walk a few miles away, you must not break in, when the time comes, you see that there is a big locust tree at the entrance of the valley, neither of them can hold it, it is easy to find, and then find another way to detour, far away, but it is better than walking in and not being able to get out." β
"Thanks for the reminder. The next day, after thanking Mrs. Li's family, the three of them continued to hurry, and when they left, Mrs. Li specially instructed again, which made Zhang Shaoyang extremely moved.
Sometimes the more simple a person is, the more clear and sweet his heart will be, clean and thorough. After walking for about an hour, I saw a row of peaks with similar heights and directions in front of me, like a big mountain that had been deliberately cut by someone with a knife, which was exceptionally neat.
Between the peaks is a valley about the same width and narrowness, and at the entrance of the valley opposite the three of them, there is a huge locust tree, and the canopy has covered the entrance tightly, according to the father and son of Mrs. Li, this valley is the so-called Valley of the Dead.
Zhang Shaoyang pointed to the big locust tree and said, "Master, look, the Valley of the Dead is there, let's choose other valleys to go over." Yao Sanming looked at the mysterious terrain in front of him, and gradually had a trace of doubt in his heart.
Since ancient times, the extraordinary land has always been unable to escape the wisdom of the masters, especially such as Kunlun, Qinling, the Yellow River and other dragon veins of the Heavenly Dynasty, but also by the world's various sects to occupy, like the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism since ancient times, the tribes have never lacked incense, naturally occupy the major immortal mountain blessed land, and the smaller sects, they can only find some slightly inferior blessed land to build a sect.
To put it more clearly, it is nothing more than involving the aura of heaven and earth. The row of mountains in front of me is not imposing for one or two alone, but more than a dozen of them are connected together, and it is definitely a good place to start a sect.
In addition, the luck of the entire Great Song Dynasty is mighty from west to east, and when it is dealt with a little bit by this heavy mountain, the aura should not be thin, but according to what Li Taigong said, in addition to the Li family, the Zhang family is more than ten miles away, not to mention the sect, there is no one in the entire mountain, and the aura is even thinner, with the strength of his nine gates, he can't detect the flow of aura.
After pondering for a moment, Yao Sanming said, "Since you are here, it is better to go and see this Valley of the Dead." Zhang Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Master, Brother Li said that there are either monsters or immortals in the valley, and it's good to say that there are really immortals, but if there are monsters, can we beat them?" Yao Sanming smiled and made a rare joke: "Even if there are monsters, you two with fine skin and tender meat, you two will not eat me, an old man." Zhang Shaoyang rolled his eyes, his mind turned, and he smiled: "Master, have you noticed something and know that there is no danger here?"
"If there is any danger, just go in and see. Yao Sanming walked towards the valley first, and Zhang Shaoyang and Xi Wan glanced at each other, so they had to follow.
Passing under the giant locust tree, the front head goes straight into the valley. Compared with the narrow Tiger Leaping Gorge, this Valley of the Dead is spacious, the mountains on both sides are about ten zhang apart, and the light in the valley is not bad, and after walking for half a mile, I didn't find anything strange.
Zhang Shaoyang, who was still a little worried, slowly relaxed a lot, and walked half a mile, there was no sign of the end in front of him, and the mountains on both sides of his head began to grow together, and the further he went, the closer he became, and extended to the farther away, the mountains had completely grown together, and the valley became a cave.
Yao Sanming said: "Those butterflies are afraid of light, they should be inside, use shabby clothes to make a torch just in case." After Zhang Shaoyang made the torches, the three of them continued to walk forward, and soon arrived at the place where the mountains converged, only to see that it was dark in front of them, and there was a loud rumbling sound inside, as if there was a big river flowing.
Light the torch and continue to walk for a while, the cave is extremely humid, the air is filled with a thick layer of water vapor, it is almost certain that there is a stream of water in it, at this time the road under the feet is no longer smooth, but full of rocks, by the light of the fire cautiously walked forward for a while, sure enough, I saw a large stream of water gushing out of the crack in front of me, sprinkled into the air and then swooped down, rushing out of a large pit on the rock below, and here the two mountains in front of it have completely grown together, obviously this valley is a dead end, only the entrance and no exitγ
"Master, look below. Yao Sanming had already noticed that there was something unusual under his feet, after the water rushed out of a large pit in the stone, it rushed down a bottomless hole underneath, and in the position where the three of them stood, there was an extremely wide cave under the bottom of their feet.
"Give me the torches, and you will follow me, and don't get too far from me. β
"Yes. Yao Sanming took the torch, lightly stepped under his feet, jumped a few times on the rocks, and jumped into the cave lightly.
Standing in front of the entrance of this cave within a hole, even Yao Sanming couldn't help but gasp, only to see that in front of him was a bottomless terrible abyss, both sides of the abyss were densely packed with zombie saucers with faint white light, which had been extending diagonally down, I don't know how deep, and there were tens of thousands of zombie saucers, covering all the stone walls on both sides.
And at the bottom of Yao Sanming's feet, there is a kind of almost transparent plant, glittering in the firelight, obviously this is what the zombie depends on to survive, this plant grows along both sides of the water flow, most of them have only three leaves, a few inches high, and they are everywhere in the cracks of the stone.
"Oh my God, are all these zombie saucers?" Zhang Shaoyang and the others also came to the entrance of the cave, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they almost dropped their jaws in shock, and even Xi Wan couldn't help but exclaim.
Yao Sanming's eyes were like electricity, he looked into the depths of the cave, and said in a deep voice: "If there are only these zombie saucers, even if the people who come to this cave die, there should be bones on the ground, but if you look at these two sides, except for this strange weed, you can't see the bones of people." β
"What does Master mean?"
"I think there's something terrible in this cave. β
"Amazing stuff. Zhang Shaoyang was a little panicked!
"It's not a thing, it's not a human being, it's definitely not a god anyway, it's possible to be a monster. β
"Master, I think we'd better go back. β
"Don't worry, the old man wants to see what it is that can absorb all the spiritual energy within a radius of several miles. "Zhang Shaoyang:"" Yao Sanming held the torch and walked straight to the cave, just stepped in, and suddenly the zombie discs on both sides felt the firelight, all of them became agitated, and flew towards the dim other side, a little dodge, and fell on the strange plant on the ground after two flashes, and in a blink of an eye, it turned directly into a pool of mist, which was sucked clean by the plant, obviously the two are interdependent.
With Li Taigong's warning, the three of them didn't dare to touch the zombie saucer, and walked along the river to the depths of the cave, and after walking for a while, a puddle of black ash suddenly appeared on the ground, Yao Sanming spread the ashes with his feet, and found that it had just been burned.
"It seems that besides us, there are still people who don't believe in evil. "Reading books on mobile phones, all in the nameless mobile version
