Section 18 Ask Lan
PS: Toy is on today's birthday, plus more to celebrate!
"It's really a peak, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a mass grave. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Tang Su sighed.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking at this huge burial peak, whether it is the dim sky, the bare trees full of crows, or the tombstones carved with names and the cold breeze, all give the two of them a kind of instant vision of the mass grave, especially this dead and quiet scene, except for them, there is no living person, and the two can't help but shiver one by one.
"Legend has it that the Sword Overlord Sect used to have only thirty-two peaks, and this burial peak was formed by the accumulation of the corpses of old and dead disciples over the years, I don't know if it's true or not!"
Falling Heaven Xing had been in the Sword Overlord Sect for a longer time than Tang Su, and he had a more or less in-depth understanding of everything about it.
"It can't be true, right!" Tang Su clasped his hands, goosebumps couldn't be suppressed, and said in a trembling voice: "Let's take a look at the detailed mission description." ”
Luo Tianxing took out the disciple token, but the brief description of the task was replaced by four big words: "Yellow Bones"
"Yellow bones?"
The two looked at each other, at first the two thought that there would be a designated coordinate, just dig it, but they never expected that the four big characters of 'yellow bones' sent them away, which was more brief than the introduction.
The burial peak is so huge and has a long history, the ghost knows where the yellow bones are, whether it is a new corpse, or an old corpse, whether it is at the top of the peak, or at the foot of the peak, whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is a man or a demon, they don't know, the four words yellow corpse bones make people have too much room for imagination.
"Huh!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw in each other's eyes that there was nothing to do, which was completely looking for a needle in a haystack.
"What now!" sighed Luo Tianxing.
"Look for it, what can I do! It's all next, and the reward is so rich, I have to find it after turning over the funeral peak." Tang Su shrugged his shoulders and said: "I think it's better to start from the peak and look down, yellow corpse bones should be very important to the Sword Overlord Sect, besides, have you ever heard that ordinary people have yellow bones? It should be a powerful senior." ”
"It's possible!" Luo Tianxing agreed with him very much, and the two of them trembled and walked towards the peak, which was more appropriate to describe as sneaky, and the two of them were so afraid that their scalps exploded and goosebumps were all over.
"Woo woo!"
The crow's cry was matched with the sound of the yin wind blowing, and the two of them were about to hug each other, and, to the horror of the two, the more they went up, the darker the sky became, the stronger the wind became, and the clouds appeared, and finally the vision of the two was completely shrouded in darkness, and the rich clouds and mist could be reached, and the peak of the burial peak was as if it was covered by a cloud of clouds.
Approaching the peak, the mountain on the ground is covered with layers of tombstones, some tombstones have been corroded after years of wind and rain, as soft as tofu, the feet of the two people stand on it as if stepping into the quagmire, plus the black does not slip in the autumn, the five fingers are not visible, the clouds and mist are boundless, the wind is whining, and the pace is getting slower and slower.
It took about half an hour for the two of them to climb up, and they still hadn't approached the peak, and they couldn't help but feel retreated.
"Why don't we look up from the foot of the peak, my heart seems to be frozen!" Tang Su's lips and teeth were fighting, and he was completely not domineering when he fought with Yun Zhongge.
"Totally agree!"
Luo Tianxing immediately answered, the two of them did not stop for a moment, the wind under their feet, striding down, as if being chased by a ghost, the two of them affirmed, this is the fastest run in their lives.
But the two of them hadn't run a distance of dozens of zhang, and more than ten zhang away, a dim light suddenly appeared in the vast cloud and mist, like a lantern in the wind swaying left and right, suddenly prosperous and weak.
"Ghost Fire!"
The two didn't think about it, they hugged each other, shivering, their feet kept shaking, they wanted to run and run, but they didn't need a trace of strength.
"It's over, it's over!" Tang Su was so frightened that his hair exploded.
The flickering dim lights, through the fog came to the two of them a foot away, take a closer look, it turned out to be a tattered lantern, after the two saw the situation clearly, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the two of them didn't have time to put down the big stone in their hearts, and instantly found that it was wrong.
"Why did a lantern appear here on its own!"
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a ghostly voice suddenly came from behind the lantern: "Because of me." ”
Immediately, a wrinkled, eyeless old face stretched out of the mist, smiling, with only a yellow front tooth left in its mouth, which looked like the face of an old woman, like a demon crawling out of hell in the light of the lamplight.
"Ahh
Luo Tianxing was startled by the sudden old face, his eyes were as big as eggs, and in a helpless position, he punched the old woman's face, and the only remaining yellowed front tooth was knocked away, and blood splashed.
With a bang, the old woman's body fell to the ground heavily, trembling all over, as if she had suffered a stroke.
"Blood?" Tang Su wiped the blood off his face, instantly understood, and shouted: "It's human!"
"How can this be!" The two of them trembled in their hearts, and hurriedly helped the old woman up, seeing that she rolled her eyes, Tang Su suddenly pressed her middle and exclaimed, "Old man." ”
The old woman was dressed in tattered cloth clothes, skinny, and her only front tooth was also knocked out by Luo Tianxing, and a mouthful of blood flowed, and she couldn't stop.
"Stinky boy, the old lady's door has been knocked off by you!" the old woman gradually came to her senses, and pointed at Luo Tianxing weakly and scolded.
"This black light is blind, the sun and the moon are blind, in the end they are all graves, and I was also scared by you before I subconsciously punched. Luo Tianxing looked embarrassed.
The old woman slapped Luo Tianxing on the head: "How can the old lady eat meat if she has no teeth!"
Tang Su knew that Luo Tianxing was stupid, so he hurriedly helped him take over the topic: "Old man, it's so late, why did you appear in this gloomy place." ”
"It's late? It's sunset, it's night, I was living here, but it's you, what are you doing here!
"Live here?" Luo Tianxing scratched his head and asked, "Aren't the burial peaks all places where the dead live, why are you here, old man." ”
"I'm the peak keeper here!" the old woman got up from the ground with a lantern, her cloudy eyes kept looking at the two of them, and after a moment she said, "Follow me!"
The two scratched their heads, full of confusion, but in the face of the huge burial peak, they had no choice but to help the old woman go all the way up, and they were also curious about why there was an old woman who was about to die at the funeral summit.
With the guidance of the old woman, the two quickly found the peak, and in the process, the two also learned the name of the old woman, named Wenlan.
Supporting Wenlan, through the heavy clouds and mist, the three of them came to the peak of the burial peak, the peak does not have a square and a main hall, just a small platform of about twenty zhang, there is a small grass house, there are no clouds and mist, there is not much dim, you can see the blue sky, the sunset, as far as the eye can see, it is the thirty-two peaks locked by the clouds and mist.
The form of the thirty-three peaks of the Sword Hegemony Sect is surrounded, forming three circles, three layers, the outer is the fifteen peaks of the slave disciples, the second layer is the fifteen peaks of the outer disciples, and so on, the burial peak is between the peak body of the outer gate and the inner door, the front can see the inner door, and the outer door can be seen in the back.
"The Second Peak of the Inner Gate!" "Luo Tianxing looked at the Second Peak of the Inner Gate, full of yearning and expectation.
"You'll go in!" Tang Su said, patting him on the shoulder.
"It turns out that the place below the peak is covered with thick clouds and mist, which makes it like night!" Luo Tianxing said suddenly realized, looking down from here, the entire burial peak seemed to be entangled by a cloud and mist dragon.
"Except for the old and dead disciples who are sent here, almost no one usually comes, what are you here for!" asked Lan angrily.
Although Wen Lan is old, she has no soul power at all, like an ordinary old man, the two of them have found that Wen Lan's body functions have almost reached the point of running out of oil and drying up, and it will not be long before she will drive the crane west.
"Don't look at me with such strange eyes, I am indeed an ordinary person who cannot cultivate. Wen Lan grinned, like a demon, it was creepy, probably staying in the Burial Peak for a long time, her every move gave people a faint and empty inspiration.
Tang Su said helplessly: "We received a mission from the sect to come to the Burial Peak to find a yellow corpse, but the Burial Peak is so huge, we have no way to start!"
A look of surprise flashed through the depths of Lan Lan's cloudy eyes, and he said, "Yellow bones?"
"Ask Elder, have you seen it in the Burial Peak for so long?" Tang Su hurriedly asked, as if he had seen a panicked look in his eyes, as if he knew something.
"No!" asked Lan to veto, and turned around and walked into the small grass house.
Wen Lan's actions proved that she might have some understanding of the 'Yellow Bones', otherwise she would not have been a little displeased when she mentioned it.
Tang Su patted Tianxing's shoulder, not letting him ask, the two followed Wen Lan into the small grass house, they must have asked Lan to know something about the yellow bones, but this matter may have offended something in her heart, so she didn't say it.
The small grass room was very basic, with a wooden table, a few chairs, a bed, and a teapot with a broken ear and a few notched teacups, but it was very neat and spotless.
"Ask the elder, how long have you been here?" asked Tang Sudong looking around, never mentioning the matter of the yellow bones.
"Seventy-two years!" Wen Lan poured a cup of tea and said slightly.
"You old Gui Geng!" Luo Tianxing asked incredulously, alone, guarding a ghostly mountain peak for seventy-two years, this is not something that anyone can do.
"Ninety-two!" asked Lan to say angrily: "If you stinky boy don't knock off the old lady's front teeth, the old lady will live for seventy-two years!"
The two of them are full of black lines, how long they live has anything to do with their front teeth?
"You'd better go find your yellow bones, it's dark here... Hey, hey, hey!" asked Lan to look at the two of them gloomily and smiled, causing goosebumps to rise in both of them, and the blood seemed to be frozen, flowing slowly.
The two of them had a chill down their backs, their faces spasmed, and they asked in a trembling voice, "Ask the old man, can you lend me two shovels." ”
Wen Lan pointed to a corner of the grass house, and when the two approached the corner and wanted to pick up the two shovels, Yu Guang caught a portrait on the wall.
The portrait depicts an old man, with gray hair, a childish face and crane hair, looking like a fairy wind and bones, the old man is sitting on a chair, holding a person in his arms, it should be an old woman, but the old woman's face has been cut a hole.
"Hey, how can this old man be a little similar to the old immortal beggar old man of Tianwang Peak!" Tang Su thought to himself, and just wanted to ask questions, but he didn't know that Wen Lan pushed the two out of the door.
