Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Five: Reaching Yinshan
Seeing this, Chen Xiaoyao said nothing or expressed anything. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and still did not speak. He just stared at Yao Fujiang with interest.
Next, as Yao Fujiang raised his head, Chen Xiaoyao also noticed that the fear on the other person's face disappeared, his body no longer trembled, and was replaced by a look of determination and determination.
Then……
"I decided to go to Yinshan with you tomorrow!"
Chen Xiaoyao was slightly startled by these sudden words. However, after seeing the other party's unchangeable serious look clearly, the next moment, Chen Xiaoyao smiled, grinned, walked up to him in two steps and patted him hard.
opponent's shoulder
, then he gave a thumbs up to Yao Fujiang and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, okay! I don't think you are a coward, but you are a very courageous coward. Brother Fu Jiang, tell the truth.
, I really didn’t misjudge you!”
Listening to Chen Xiaoyao's words in front of him, which was either praise or ridicule, Yao Fujiang smiled bitterly and finally said:
"He Fei's life has to be saved. Even if I am afraid, at least I am not an ungrateful person. I cannot survive until now without He Fei's help, so I will go to the Yinshan Mountains tomorrow no matter what!"
………
The next day in the real world, morning, 8:30.
Deng Deng Deng.
In a residential building in the property management community, footsteps were heard frequently in the corridor. Three men in sportswear were walking downstairs quickly, carrying backpacks. The three of them were not bystanders, but they had just eaten breakfast.
Zhao Ping, Chen Xiaoyao and Yao Fu.
The three of them came to the real world not for fun. In fact, they all have the same goal, which is to search, find, and find the only soul-calling flag in the world. Only by getting this thing can they save He Fei's life!
He quickly went downstairs and ran out of the corridor, and immediately rushed to the community square, where the BMW car that Zhao Ping drove last night was parked.
The sky is sunny and cloudless. After a whole day of preparation, the three of them decided to go to Yinshan Mountain today. I wonder if God has opened his eyes. It just so happens that the weather is good today. Except for the slightly lower temperature, everything else is normal. Unless there is something important to do,
Today is really a good day for an outing.
Soon, he arrived at the square and stepped into the car. Zhao Ping took out his keys and opened the door. He sat in the driver's seat first. Chen Xiaoyao chose the passenger seat, while Yao Fujiang, who looked solemn, took the initiative to get into the back seat.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Ping does not have to drive, but because only the man with glasses among the three knows how to drive, and the other two cannot drive. After all, Yao Fujiang is just a college student who has not yet graduated, and Chen Xiaoyao has also been driving with his master all year round.
It is even less likely that he will have time to learn to drive if he stays in the mountains. If this is the case, then there is no doubt that the driving job will naturally fall on Zhao Ping. After all, a man with glasses, who is a senior white-collar elite in real society, says that he cannot drive.
I guess no one would believe it.
"Tsk tsk, luckily Senior Zhao has come to the real world with us, otherwise just driving would be a troublesome thing. Although you can also choose a taxi, a lot of troubles will be unavoidable. Hey, what should I say next time?
I have to learn to drive!"
Listening to Chen Xiaoyao beside him, Zhao Pingping started the car expressionlessly in front of the driver's seat. Only Yao Fujiang in the back seat shook his head with disdain and retorted: "What? Learning to drive? What are you thinking about? It's just a place like the Hell Train.
Can it fit in a four-wheel vehicle?”
"That's right. How about finding an opportunity next time to learn how to drive in the real world?"
"What? Come here to learn how to drive in real life? Unless you have too much survival value and no place to spend it, I would advise you not to do that kind of meaningless thing."
"Hehe, it's a joke, it's a joke, brother Fu Jiang, don't take it seriously."
While Chen and Yao were chatting with each other, the ignition was started and the motor was running. Zhao Ping immediately started the car, turned on the navigator, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove straight to the gate of the community.
………
Passing through several noisy neighborhoods and crossing several urban road sections, about 20 minutes later, Zhao Ping drove the car into a branch road in a neighborhood following the twists and turns marked on the navigation system.
Perhaps it was close to the edge of the city. The car entered the side road. Looking around, the field of vision suddenly became clearer. Not only was the road wider, but there were also fewer vehicles around. Perhaps it was because this road led to Yinshan Mountain that it was so deserted. Of course,
, it was also from here that the three of them officially left Fengdu City and entered the outer suburbs.
Having said that, the reality is indeed the same. It is different from the hustle and bustle of the urban area. As the vehicles continue to drive, and as time passes by, I glance at the outside world through the car window, and I don’t know when the surroundings have turned into an empty wilderness. Except for that
Beyond the long stretch of highway that leads into the distance, both sides of the road begin to become empty and quiet. It gradually loses its urban color and the number of passing vehicles also decreases significantly. At first glance, it gives people a strong sense of contrast.
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. Even if you know it is not a snake, people's subconscious will still send warning signals to people. Seeing this scene, Yao Fujiang became nervous, and his mind couldn't help but think of Yin and Yang Road, and that
A road of death that almost took his life.
(What are I thinking about? The Yin-Yang Road mission has ended long ago. This is the real world. There will be no worms here. At least there will be no abnormalities before reaching Yinshan Mountain. Don’t be afraid, don’t be nervous, take a deep breath, take a deep breath.)
"call!"
According to the psychological suggestion, after taking a long breath, the flat-headed young man became really calm. He shifted his gaze and looked at the front row through the rearview mirror. He saw Zhao Ping and Chen Xiaoyao staring ahead with solemn expressions, and the horizon ahead.
Then the shadow of the mountains faintly appeared, and upon seeing this, the tension that had just been suppressed suddenly swept over my heart again.
"Is it the mountain in front?"
Putting aside whether Yao Fujiang was nervous or not, in front of the driver's seat, he glanced at the navigation device and stared at the looming black mountains in the distance. Zhao Ping asked casually, and this sentence was naturally directed at Chen Xiaoyao. Sure enough, he saw
The man asked, and the young Taoist priest's expression became condensed.
First, he opened his eyes and looked carefully, staring at the approaching mountains in front for a while, and finally nodded to the man with glasses in a positive tone and replied: "Yes, the one in front is Yinshan. At the current speed, it is expected to be there in 20 minutes."
You can reach the foot of Yinshan Mountain."
After receiving the confirmation, Zhao Ping had no reaction and remained expressionless. He rolled his eyes and asked again: "Are everything ready?"
Facing the bespectacled man's ten thousand years of indifference, Chen Xiaoyao didn't care at all. Not only did he not care, but he responded with practical actions. He unzipped the backpack that had been placed on his lap, took out a square iron box, and then put it aside
He patted the iron box and said with a showy grin: "Of course it's ready. If we don't have this thing, we wouldn't use it and just go home."
Perhaps he heard something from Chen Daoshi's rather complacent words or some questions suddenly popped up. Chen Xiaoyao finished speaking. Before Zhao Ping could speak, Yao Fujiang in the back row immediately stretched his neck and asked a key question.
: "I almost forgot, let me tell you Chen Xiaoyao, since you said last night that these Taoist talismans can ward off evil spirits and drive away worms, how should you use these things? Is it possible to put the Taoist talismans on the other person's forehead when you see a worm?"
Yes, as mentioned above, although Chen Xiaoyao stated that the enhanced Taoist talisman he created can expel worms and below, he did not introduce how to use it. Without introducing it, how could Yao Fujiang, who knew nothing about Taoism, learn it by himself?
?In addition, he was about to arrive at Yinshan Mountain. Sure enough, as the fear in his heart became stronger, the young man with a flat head suddenly realized the key point of the problem!
That’s how to use the Taoist Talisman!?
I thought that the question was serious and the other party would answer it as seriously as the man with glasses. Unexpectedly, when the question came out, Chen Xiaoyao rubbed his head and slowly turned around. Then he looked Yao Fujiang up and down with an exaggerated expression of looking at an idiot, which made him confused.
, staring at him at a loss.
Ming, finally asked in a tone of surprise that was even more exaggerated than his expression: "What a fool! Have you watched too many zombie movies? I said, buddy, what we are facing this time are worms, not zombies, do you think you can
Put a charm on the head? Are you kidding me?"
Listening to Chen Xiaoyao's extremely exaggerated verbal sarcasm, Yao Fujiang was immediately furious! Then he glared and refused to be outdone and fought back: "Hey, what if I watch too many zombie movies? I'm not a Taoist priest, I'm just an ordinary college student, you don't
That I know how to use the manna?"
"Huh? Haha, that's right. Speaking of which, I don't blame you. After all, you came too late yesterday. I only told Senior Zhao about some situations and forgot to tell you. Since you want to know, okay..."
With a sudden realization, Chen Xiaoyao smiled awkwardly. He opened the lid of the box first, and then, under Yao Fujiang's gaze, he pointed at the Taoist talismans inside the box and explained to them: "First of all, you have to understand that these things are contaminated by black dogs.
Because of the blood, the overall effect is much stronger than ordinary Taoist talismans.
Although it is powerless against Li Qi, it can at least have an impact on Lone Soul Qi Mei, who is far inferior to Li Qi in strength, thereby achieving the expulsion effect. The method of use is very simple. If you encounter a Qi, take one out of your pocket and hold it in your hand.
As long as the worm is too close to your body, the Taoist talisman in your hand will burn on its own.
, during the burning process, it can not only prevent the larvae from approaching, but also further expel the larvae. Now, there are 90 Taoist charms in the box, all of which were made overnight last night. I will distribute them to everyone after arriving at the destination.
30 photos, but one thing should be kept in mind, that is, don’t think that it will be fine.
, after all, there are too many lonely souls in the Yin Mountain, and there may even be a few ghosts mixed in, so don’t think that 30 Tao Talisman is a lot. In general, our purpose must be clearly remembered, that is to find the judge before the Tao Talisman is used up.
Get the soul-calling flag from the temple and leave quickly without losing a moment!"
After saying this, he paused for a moment, raised his head and scanned both sides of his eyes. Seeing that the expressions of Zhao and Yao changed slightly, Chen Xiaoyao clicked on the Taoist talisman in the box and continued: "To put it bluntly, these
Taoist charms are used to delay time, with the greatest effect
It can only drive away locusts, but it will not cause any harm to the locusts themselves. You don't have to think about expecting this thing to kill everyone. Pay attention, remember to use it sparingly after entering the mountain. After all, no one knows what will happen next.
There will be emergencies.”
To be honest, in order for the group of people to find the Soul Calling Flag safely, Chen Xiaoyao really tried his best to provide the three of them with the greatest security within his capabilities. The 90 enhanced Taoist charms that he made overnight were also really consumed.
It took him a lot of energy. As mentioned above, it’s not that he doesn’t want to do more, but that
Making these things requires mental energy. If he really cares about quantity, then there is a high probability that he will collapse in bed today and be unable to go. In addition, his plan is also very clear, which is to use these Taoist talismans to delay time.
Delay the attack of the worms, and finally enter the Judge's Temple to get the Soul-Calling Banner before the Taoist talismans are used up.
Of course, even if the plan is good, the above are still Chen Xiaoyao's personal best plans. As the saying goes, things are unpredictable. Since Yinshan Mountain is too dangerous and the specific location of the Judge's Temple is not known, out of caution, Tao Fu will naturally
Use sparingly.
Let's get back to the topic. At this moment, after listening to Chen Xiaoyao's solemn words full of warnings, except for Zhao Ping, who had learned the plan yesterday, he still kept silent and drove seriously. In the back seat, Yao Fujiang suddenly understood and nodded instinctively. Unexpectedly,
For a moment, the young man looked suspicious again, then stared at Chen Xiaoyao and said something
One sentence, a sentence that baffled the young Taoist priest: "Well, um, I have another question, which I thought of before going to bed last night. Of course, this question has nothing to do with our next actions. It would be best if you knew
Please answer, if you don’t know then forget it and just pretend I didn’t ask.”
"oh?"
There was a lot of hesitation in Xu Shi's words. After hearing this, Chen Xiaoyao couldn't help but become interested, stroked his bangs on his forehead, and directly echoed: "Interesting, then you can ask, I want to hear it too."
"Because Fengdu is so famous, I heard about it a few years ago. When I was bored, I looked up Fengdu on the Internet. Through the Internet, I learned that there are many famous mountains around Fengdu, and I also heard the name of Yinshan Mountain.
Most of them have been transformed into tourist attractions and festivals in recent years.
Holidays are even more crowded with tourists, but Yinshan Mountain has never been visited by anyone. Some people on the Internet said that Yinshan Mountain is plagued by lobsters. At first, I didn’t think so. I thought how could there be lobsters in the world? Until I stepped into the cursed space, until last night.
I completely believe the rumors are true."
"Huh? Having said so much, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"No, don't get me wrong, what I really want to ask is...since you have always emphasized that there are lobsters in Yinshan Mountain and there are a lot of them. If this is the case, then why are there so many lobsters in Yinshan Mountain? And how are these locusts produced?
Can you answer me?"
Not bad! In fact, this question is not only the biggest doubt in Yao Fujiang's mind at the moment, but also the biggest doubt in Zhao Ping's mind. After all, Chen Xiaoyao has always mentioned repeatedly that there are locusts in Yinshan Mountain from the beginning. This is true, but those locusts entrenched in Yinshan Mountain are...
Where did it come from? How did it come about? The reason why I didn’t ask about it earlier is because it has nothing to do with looking for the soul-calling flag.
, so Zhao Ping, who has always disliked gossip, naturally would not go out of his way to inquire about this matter. As the saying goes, there are no absolutes in anything. The fact that the man with glasses never mentioned it does not mean that others will do the same. As expected, regarding the origin of the Yinshan worm group, Yao Fujiang asked curiously,
Next, in addition to Yao Fujiang who looked puzzled, Zhao Ping, who seemed to be driving seriously in the front seat, also quietly pricked up his ears.
As for Chen Xiaoyao...
Silence, silence, not saying a word.
For some reason, after hearing this question, Chen Xiaoyao was stunned. He fell into a state of hesitation for no reason, and his thoughts were tangled. In reality, he did not open his mouth to answer the question raised by the flat-headed young man. In other words, he neither said he knew nor said he didn't know, just
It’s just that his face is complicated and his eyes are wandering, but the more he keeps staring like this
His Yao Fujiang became more and more itchy. As expected, seeing Taoist Chen pretending to be mute, Yao Fujiang couldn't help it, and immediately patted the other man on the shoulder, and then shouted: "I wiped it, what do you mean?"
If you know, just say you know. If you don’t know, just say you don’t know. What’s the point of putting on this hesitant expression?”
Listening to Yao Fujiang's repeated urgings, he hesitated for a moment, and finally touched his chin and opened his mouth as if he had made some kind of decision: "Well, how should I put it? I know about the origin of Yinshan worms, but my master once warned me
It is best not to publicize this matter everywhere. Not only did he warn me, but he also specifically warned me later, saying that even if I become a master of Taoism and travel around the world, I would try not to go to one place, and that place happens to be Yinshan Mountain in Fengdu!"
"Why?"
"Yes, why? That's what I asked my master at the time."
"Damn it, I mean you answer the question quickly!"
Looking at Yao Fujiang's impatient look across from him, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Of course I know the reason, and the answer is undoubtedly told to me by Master, but once I say it... I will definitely get slapped with a hat.
The big hat that destroyed the unity of Fujian and Zhuge Liang was then criticized verbally and written by the critics. Harmony, Harmony! There are some truths in today's society that you can know but you must not tell them."
It is undeniable that Chen Xiaoyao himself did not want to say it, but under Yao Fujiang's repeated urging, finally, with a sigh, Chen Xiaoyao had no choice but to figure out the origin of the Yinshan nymphs:
"Actually, the real reason why there are so many locusts in Yinshan can be traced back hundreds of years to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. People who know a little about history should know that since Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in 1644, the captives outside the Pass have been building
In just a dozen years, it has swept across the land of China. Logically speaking, this is nothing. It is nothing more than a change of dynasty. However, unfortunately,
Since these captives belonged to a foreign race and were originally barbarians in a slave society, they brutally oppressed the people in the occupied areas after entering the customs. As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there will be resistance. In the face of foreign invasion, the domestic people cannot bear the oppression.
Naturally, they resisted one after another, but what they got in return was ruthless massacre, and the Han people at that time were stronger than people today.
The more angry you are, the more you slaughter me, the more you resist. Even if I fight to the last person, I will never be willing to be a slave of a foreign race. The results can be imagined. In just ten years, Jianlu has caused thousands of murders on the land of China.
During the massacre, a total of about 100 million Han people were killed. You must know that during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, the total number of Han people in the country was only 100 million or tens of millions. The massacre almost reached 100 million people.
The Han people were exterminated. Later, the Jianlu army invaded Fengdu, Chongqing. All the 30,000 people in the city who received the news in advance fled to the nearby Yinshan Mountains to escape. Only a few thousand Ming troops were left to defend Fengdu City. Later, Fengdu City was captured by the Jianlu people.
After entering the city, Jianlu found that except for the corpses of Ming soldiers, there was no common people in the city. Unfortunately, he learned the whereabouts of the common people from the traitors, so..."
Although Chen Xiaoyao hadn't finished what he said later, Yao Fujiang, who had been listening silently, understood it instantly. Then he turned pale and continued: "In other words... all the tens of thousands of people in the city were captured.
Killed in the Yin Mountains!?"
"Well, yes, because they all died with resentment and hatred, the souls of these tens of thousands of people turned into lonely ghosts after their death. These lonely souls never entered the reincarnation and never descended to the underworld. They have been lingering on the Yin Mountain for hundreds of years.
After all, the Judge's Temple standing in the mountain was built precisely to guide the souls of the dead to descend to the underworld. As for the soul-calling flags, they were also deliberately placed in the Judge's Temple by Jianlu to suppress the ghosts of the dead."
After Chen Xiaoyao finished speaking in full, not to mention Yao Fujiang, in the front row, in front of the driver's seat, Zhao Ping, who had been driving silently, changed...
His body trembled in an instant, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his whole face turned pale in an instant!
reason?
The reason is extremely simple. He, Zhao Ping, doesn't care about historical issues at all, nor does he care about the origins of those worms. The reason why he is sweating at this moment is because of what he just told, or he just learned a shocking and terrifying news from Chen Xiaoyao.
, that is...
If what Chen Xiaoyao said is true, doesn't it mean that there are tens of thousands of oysters in this Yinshan Mountain!!!
30,000 nymphs, 30,000 nymphs, my God!
Although they are all low-level lonely souls, please don't forget that these lonely wild nymphs have existed for hundreds of years. If you just heard that there are a lot of oysters in Yinshan Mountain before, you don't know the specific number.
, then, after knowing the actual number, facing such a result and facing such an answer, it is so frightening!
Tick tock.
A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead. At this moment, after learning the number of locusts, Zhao Ping panicked, completely panicked. He had been calm and calm for the first time, and felt cold for the first time. Sweat was not only dripping from his forehead.
, even the palms of the hands holding the steering wheel gradually became stained with sweat.
At the same time, the man with glasses began to ask himself frequently, questioning himself: Is it worth it for the unknown benefits? Is it worth taking such a risk?
pity……
It's too late, it's useless to regret now. He has already set off, has rushed to the target, and is even about to arrive at Yinshan Mountain. And the current situation is indeed that the arrow is on the string and he has to act. There is no room for regret and giving up, let alone
Turn around and return.
At this moment, fear swept through Zhao Ping's heart and Yao Fujiang's heart. With the help of Chen Xiaoyao's mouth, a terrifying and unimaginable death crisis was placed in front of the two of them.
Breaking free from thoughts and shifting their gaze, at this moment, through the car window, staring ahead, looking at the Yinshan Mountain that is getting closer and closer, looking at the mountain that is so huge that it almost occupies the entire line of sight, everyone has a vague feeling, an indescribable feeling.
Unknown and shocking conjecture:
Perhaps, this trip to Yinshan Mountain is the last mission in their lives and the last time they see the sun.
