Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Eight: Dead at the Grave
(this……)
(There is a tomb in the Yin Mountain that no one has dared to visit for hundreds of years? Whose? Who dares to build a tomb in this dark and sinister mountain full of worms?)
The more Chen Xiaoyao thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and the more he thought about it, the more doubtful he became. The doubts aroused his greater interest, so he planned to take a closer look, look at the stone tablet, and see who the owner of the tomb was. After all, it was just a barren tomb.
Next, turn off the flashlight and stride towards the grave.
When he came closer, when he was completely opposite the tall tomb, Chen Xiaoyao immediately squatted down and bent down to look at the tombstone, directly looking at the words engraved on the tombstone.
As a result, I guessed correctly. The tombstone was indeed engraved with text. As soon as I lowered my head, a vertical line of ancient writing appeared in my field of vision.
Then, Chen Xiaoyao froze.
He was stunned, frozen on the spot, and instantly fell into a sluggish state. His whole body was as if he had been cast a immobilization spell, motionless on the spot.
Then, my heart beat violently, cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and my body trembled inexplicably.
This is scary, and it is obviously an instinctive cowering reaction due to sudden excessive fear!
Why fear? Or what is written on the stone tablet that can scare a Maoshan Taoist priest who has always been fearless, not even afraid of worms?
I don’t know, I don’t know, the only thing I know is...
The camera moved along Chen Xiaoyao's field of vision to the front, to the stone monument opposite. When he took a closer look, he saw this line of text engraved on the tombstone:
The tomb of Tian Fengyuan, the commander-in-chief of Fengdu in Ming Dynasty.
There is also a small line of additional text engraved on the lower right corner of the tombstone:
He fought bloody battles to the death without surrendering. I admire his bravery and hereby erect a grave.
The grave of a Ming Dynasty general.
It's unremarkable, it's still just a tomb.
The strange thing is here. Why was Chen Xiaoyao so frightened when he found the grave of a general in front of him? The reason? The reason is very simple. The reason for fear is not that Chen Xiaoyao knew the commander-in-chief named Tian Fengyuan.
, not afraid of the opponent's power during his lifetime, but afraid of the tomb itself...
General’s grave!
This turned out to be a general’s tomb!
………
"Master, I have a question that I don't know whether to answer or not."
"But it doesn't matter."
"The swimsuit photo book in your room is really just for the foot of the bed... Ah, no, that's not right! I was wondering why you chose to take a detour when you passed Lu Xiangsheng's tomb the night before?"
"Okay, you little brat, you did it on purpose. You definitely did it on purpose. Master, I dare to swear to God that I picked up that book. It has been placed at the foot of the bed untouched since I picked it up. As for the night you mentioned
detour……"
"Don't look at me with such suspicious eyes. I know what you are thinking. I have lived for more than 100 years as a teacher and have been studying Taoism all my life. I am not bragging about my teacher. I don't pay much attention to things like 螞.
Here, the threat posed by ordinary worms to Pindao is basically zero, and there are very few worms in the world who can use the true method for the master."
"That night before..."
"Boy, I just said that Qi was not taken seriously by my master. If..."
"What if the other party is not a tiger?"
"Huh? Not a hawk? Could it be a human?"
"No, the other party is neither a locust nor a human. It is still a spirit, a special existence that is different from the locust. It is not that the teacher does not dare to provoke that kind of thing, but that he does not want to provoke it."
"First you have to figure out what kind of grave that grave is."
………
General’s grave!
It turned out to be the general’s tomb!
After seeing the identity of the tomb clearly, Chen Xiaoyao was frightened on the spot.
Why?
Why would a mere grave in a barren mountain scare a Maoshan Taoist priest with real talent and knowledge to such a degree?
In the final analysis, it comes from what his master once said to him in his early years.
Master once said that there are indeed many locusts in the world, and the locusts themselves are basically murderous and cruel evil spirits with extremely malicious intentions towards human beings. Once a living person encounters these locusts, it is almost impossible to survive. You can understand
Because all worms are spiritual bodies, and spiritual bodies are basically the same as worms.
However, there is no absolute, there is no certainty in everything, and it is basically not equal to everything. Just like there are always exceptions in things in the world, if we have to make a rigid distinction, strictly speaking, there are still differences. There is a type of situation that is more special.
And that special existence is General Tomb and Yin Soldier!
It is undeniable that Yin soldiers are also spiritual bodies. They are spiritual energy without bodies just like worms. However, Yin soldiers will not take the initiative to attack living people. As for the General's Tomb, as the name suggests, it is the resting place of ancient generals. To be honest, the General's Tomb is not
It's not much, it just has an extra title than an ordinary tomb. Even so, if the general in the tomb is a general who died fighting for the country, then its nature will change drastically.
It is often said that after death, the spirit body often retains its previous state. This is true for ordinary people, and it is also true for military generals. The battlefield is stained with blood and full of murderous intent. A general who died fighting for his country still retains a strong murderous intent after his death. The murderous intent cannot be dissipated. It gradually becomes more and more murderous over time.
Transformed into evil spirits, evil spirits can also cover the tomb and cover the surroundings within a certain range. It will appear every night at night. It doesn't matter during the day, but remember not to approach the general's tomb at night. Anyone who comes close will die.
Speaking of this, I have to explain the reason. According to legend, when a general who died fighting to prevent the country from being enslaved was martyred, if he had a grave, then the souls of him and the soldiers who died with him would often not go there.
The responsibilities of soldiers will bind them and cause their souls to gradually turn into yin soldiers after death, and yin soldiers
The soldiers always guard the tomb of their general, guard the general's tomb, and kill and kill anyone who comes close to the general's tomb, whether it is an animal or a living person.
If you kill a living person, as long as you dare to get close to the general's tomb within a certain range, the Yin soldiers guarding the tomb will definitely appear.
Another point worth mentioning is that Yin soldiers are not wolves.
It is true that Yin soldiers and Qiwu both belong to the category of spiritual bodies, but Yin soldiers are not the same as Qiwu, nor do they belong to any hierarchical system of Qiwu. Yin soldiers belong to loyal souls, and those who are loyal to the country and nation can turn into loyal souls after they die.
, although it is not denied that Yin soldiers, like most animals, will lose their memories of life after death, but even if the body dies, their souls still remember their duties during life.
Responsibility, and it is this responsibility that makes it become a special existence that is different from the worms. The Yin soldiers will never take the initiative to attack living people like the worms. The only reason for existence is responsibility. The duty of the guardian general, if you don't
If you violate the duty of the Yin Soldier, the other party will not attack you even if you stand in front of the Yin Soldier. However, once you violate the duty of the other party...
Then the Yin soldiers will kill you instantly.
Chen Xiaoyao originally thought that all the people who existed in the Yin Mountains were ordinary people, all the lonely wild slugs transformed by the people who were killed in the past. But, who would have thought that there would be a general who died fighting in the mountains?
That's all. Unexpectedly, Jianlu didn't happen to be able to help this general.
The army built a tomb. No wonder, no wonder Jianlu killed so many people but only built a tomb for this man. It turned out that the owner of this tomb was actually a general of the Ming Dynasty, a general who fought bloody battles to the death, a general who even killed his enemies.
A loyal general who admired his bravery but did not want his body to be exposed in the wilderness.
At this moment, Chen Xiaoyao was squatting in front of the general's grave at an impossibly close distance!
………
Let’s get back to the subject. Although there are many descriptions, in fact, all the above are just the thoughts in my mind after seeing the tomb clearly. As for reality...
Tick tock, tick tock.
Fear spread all over the body at this moment, and cold sweat spread all over his forehead and down his back, and then fell to the ground drop by drop.
The brain is also filled with fear, coupled with the reminder that it is currently a dark moon night...
After being stunned for about 5 seconds, driven by some kind of thought, the young man subconsciously looked up.
However, I don’t know if it was a coincidence or the young man had some guess, but as soon as his head raised, something strange happened!
A figure appeared beside the young man in the blink of an eye.
Eight soldiers appeared out of thin air, eight soldiers holding swords and wearing ancient armor.
Without any warning or reason, in just a short moment, his figure appeared and surrounded the surroundings, surrounding the young Taoist priest in the center.
What's more coincidental is that because the soldiers appeared at the same time as the young man raised his head, it was natural that when the soldiers appeared, Chen Xiaoyao happened to make eye contact with one of the soldiers.
For some reason, after making eye contact with Chen Xiaoyao, the soldier's originally dim pupils suddenly flashed purple light, and together with the other seven soldiers around him, they also glowed purple.
However, even so, this is still not the weirdest and most terrifying thing. What is truly terrifying is...
As soon as he appeared and made eye contact with the young man below, the next second, the soldiers moved, and the eight soldiers suddenly raised their swords as if they had agreed.
Then, slash with the sword!
brush!
Eight sharp steel knives collectively slashed downwards, hitting the young man's head hard!
As for Chen Xiaoyao...
As mentioned above, perhaps he had expected it or was wary of it. When he made eye contact, he had no time to observe the soldier's appearance. It was too late and then he was too late. As the steel knife suddenly slashed down, and as the death intention surrounded his body, he saw that he was about to die.
Death, in an instant, the young man fell into madness, his eyes were instantly bloodshot, and he responded first with an astonishing speed several times faster than usual.
"Drink!"
At the moment of life and death, Chen Xiaoyao did not sit back and wait for death in despair. Instead, his powerful reflexes that exceeded the limits of human beings jumped forward with all his strength. He narrowly avoided a blow to the head and was barely able to get his brains out before the blade was about to blow.
Before it collapsed, it jumped out of the surrounding area and rolled awkwardly from the soldiers' crotches.
Ding dong!
The blade missed the blow and slashed hard to the ground, causing gravel and dust to fly on the ground. All eight swords struck the air. When he looked down, he saw that the living people below him had long since disappeared.
Then……
"Ah! Help, help!!!"
Da da da da da!
It was screaming, yelling, and running away in panic.
Yes, relying on his agility and amazing reflexes, after narrowly escaping a fatal blow, Chen Xiaoyao had just rolled out of the encirclement and was already running away in panic. He ran towards the road he came from, risking his life, only wishing that his parents would be born.
Two legs, howling crazily while running away towards the woods behind.
The strange thing is...
Seeing the living people fleeing, in front of the general's grave, the eight soldiers with purple eyes and red faces did not pursue them. 'They' just stood motionless in front of the floating grave. However, the lack of movement does not mean that they gave up the pursuit. This is not contradictory, because
, just when Chen Xiaoyao was running for his life, the mutation happened again.
In an instant, soldiers appeared around the tomb again.
One after another, they rose straight up from the ground, and large groups of armored soldiers emerged at an astonishing speed like plant growth accelerated hundreds of times!
With the help of high-altitude moonlight, if you observe carefully, you will find that the hundreds of soldiers who appeared later are floating in the air like the first eight soldiers, with their knees translucent. However, there are differences. The difference is that these soldiers hold weapons.
They are spears, and except for the armor wrapped around their bodies, their faces and bodies are all white bones, and they are all skeletons!
Of course, the above is just a description, but the actual situation happened much faster than expected. As hundreds of soldiers appeared together, the next second, without any command or instructions, as soon as they appeared, the skeleton soldiers appeared.
They swarmed forward like a tide, chasing forward one after another, floating in the direction of Chen Xiaoyao's escape and pursuing him!
"Holy shit, help! Yin soldiers, there are so many Yin soldiers!!!"
"Master, you old bastard, why didn't you tell me that there is a general's tomb in Yinshan Mountain? Did you forget it? Wow!"
At the same time, a hundred meters away, at the edge of the woods.
Listening to the shrill howls from the opposite formation, and feeling the Yin Qi from the front hitting his face, just as Chen Xiaoyao was being pursued desperately by a large group of Yin soldiers, Zhao Ping, who had been observing silently from behind, was also startled, and stared hard with his eyes wide open, and soon
, he saw a scene, a unique and terrifying scene:
As the youth's howling intensified, as far as the eye could see, Chen Xiaoyao was running in the direction of him with a frightened look on his face. Behind him, he was followed by a large group of dense soldiers. Hundreds of ancient soldiers were floating in the air.
Frequent pursuit!
Ding!
Even though he had experienced strong winds and waves, even though he had a strong psychological quality, after seeing this unique scene, Zhao Ping was still frightened and his heart beat wildly. He took a few steps back, his face changed instantly, he turned around and ran away, then turned around and disappeared.
Woods, run away deep into the woods, ten seconds
Finally, Chen Xiaoyao passed by where Zhao Ping was staying. He wanted to pick up the seriously ill man and run away with him, but he was shocked to find that the other man was gone. Seeing this, he was slightly stunned. Then, just a second later, the young man seemed to have suddenly figured out something.
When something happened like that, he immediately became furious, and his whole face was full of anger!
Yes, he just figured it out, figured out why the man disappeared, and even figured out what all this was about.
"F*ck! Zhao Jingyan, you fucking tricked me and actually used me as a pathfinder!"
Although he was angry, although he was unhappy, he was chased by the Yin soldiers who were getting closer and closer. He roared and had no time to vent his anger. He had no choice but to continue running and running, running into the woods and heading straight towards someone.
One direction ran with great strides.
………
The moonlight becomes darker and darker, and time continues to pass.
"call."
Zhao Ping didn't know how long he had been running. He only knew how to run, and he only knew how to run away when he saw a road. He didn't stop until he was sweating profusely and his legs and feet were weak. It wasn't until he confirmed that there was no danger yet that the man slowly stopped.
The running stopped somewhere in the forest.
Of course, stopping running does not mean taking a rest immediately, but using the waning moon to observe the surroundings. After observing for a while to confirm that there is no danger nearby, the man gasped like a deflated rubber ball, and finally sat down in front of a protruding rock to start thinking.
.
It has been mentioned many times in the past that paranormal missions are indeed scary, but what the executors are more afraid of is time. It is the lack of time. It is the precious analysis and thinking time when a crisis comes. Without time, you will not be able to solve the problem.
There is no way to deal with the danger. If you don’t have time, you can only struggle desperately. It is true that this is the real world, but in fact the Yinshan Mountain full of scorpions is more terrifying than the mission world. What Zhao Ping currently lacks is still time to judge.
It’s time to decide whether to go or stay.
His brows were furrowed, his expression was tangled, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
(It’s a good risk. Fortunately, I had a backup plan, otherwise Chen Xiaoyao would not be the only one being hunted at this moment. This also proved that my judgment was very accurate. The mound was indeed very dangerous. Chen Xiaoyao’s shout just now was hit.
There also seems to be the word "Yin Bing". Could it be that what is buried in the mound is...)
(The number of Yin soldiers is large, and their speed is also very fast. What is even more desperate is that the mound that equals death is not located directly in front of the Judge's Temple, but on the only way to pass!)
(Once you get close to the mound, Chen Xiaoyao is the best example.)
(Can I still get there? Is there any hope of getting the Soul-Calling Banner?)
The answer is no, 100% no. The answer is whoever goes over, who dies, and whoever gets closer to the mound is finished!
His thoughts fluctuated one after another, and his facial expressions changed one after another.
Next, as if he had made some determination, the man with glasses moved, stood up slowly, and immediately walked back without looking back, heading down the mountain in a panic.
Yes, Zhao Ping made a decision and made a choice. As analyzed and thought above, it was finished and useless. With the mound blocking the road, the situation had fallen into a deadlock and a desperate situation. Since things
There was nothing he could do, so there was no doubt that retreat was the only option. He wanted to run, to go down the mountain as soon as possible, and for his own safety, he also wanted to do everything possible to escape from this ominous mountain full of death. As for others...
Sorry, life and death are determined by destiny. He will not and cannot care whether others live or die. After all, if people don't do it for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
He said so, and in fact he did exactly that. After concluding that there was no hope for the Soul Calling Flag, the man with glasses made a move, abandoned all his companions and teammates, and immediately turned around and went down the mountain.
Hooray, hooray.
The mountain wind is blowing, the cold is unbearable, and under the moonlight, Zhao Ping is walking on the rugged mountain road carefully, observing his surroundings while moving forward cautiously.
At this speed, if nothing happens on the way, we should be able to leave the mountain and reach the foot of the mountain within an hour.
Unfortunately, all the above are based on the condition that no accidents occur.
Just as most things in this world backfire, just when the man with glasses lowered his steps and moved forward in panic, an accident happened.
Ta-ta-ta!
Under the cover of night, a series of rapid footsteps came straight from the front, reaching the eardrums from far to near. Not only that, because the speed was too fast, before Zhao Ping heard the sound and changed his color, the footsteps became louder and louder.
When I was close, I heard that the voice was running straight towards where I was!
Hearing the sound, Zhao Ping's body trembled and he immediately turned around to escape. However, when he thought about running back, he would most likely encounter countless underworld soldiers... The man with glasses found that he was in a dilemma without knowing it.
A terrifying and dangerous situation between a rock and a hard place!
"Whoaaah!"
Wow.
It was too late, then it was so fast. Just when the man with glasses was stunned for a moment, hesitating whether to retreat or stay, two seconds later, accompanied by a scream of terror, a figure suddenly jumped out from the grass on the right and crashed straight into it.
, due to the speed of the figure, when Zhao Ping tried to dodge, it was already too late. The result was predictable. The next second, under the gaze of Zhao Ping's suddenly wide-open eyes, the figure ran straight into him, and the two sides collided on the spot.
Full of arms!
Bang!
"Woo!"
"oops!"
The impact came as expected, and screams of pain followed. Regardless of the black shadow, as soon as he fell to the ground, regardless of the physical pain, Zhao Ping forcibly stood up and retreated hastily. While retreating, he took out the flashlight without hesitation, and then took out the flashlight.
He turned to the front and shined a light on the unknown black figure who was still lying on the ground opposite. It was obvious that Zhao Ping was not
Fool, since he didn't run away after getting up but instead looked at the man for the first time, you can easily see what the man noticed and felt. Judging from the tangible and solid impact just now, he concluded that the other party was not a hawk, but a human.
After all, there is no entity in the worm, and it is impossible for the worm to knock itself to the ground.
Sure enough, as the beam of light shined straight at him, he saw a person lying two meters in front of him.
A human being, an acquaintance, and the other person was none other than Yao Fujiang, the very pale and embarrassed Yao Fujiang!
No one knows why the flat-headed young man is here, and no one knows what happened to him during his disappearance. The only thing that is undeniable is that Yao Fujiang is not dead, he is still alive, and he did not die in the mountains as previously speculated. Not only is he alive now, he is also alive.
It was while running in panic that he bumped into Zhao Ping.
Xu Shi also didn't expect to bump into someone while running. As soon as he fell to the ground, Yao Fujiang struggled to get up. Unexpectedly, just halfway up, a beam of light hit his eyes directly, making his eyes dazzle and making him extremely uncomfortable. Then he instinctively stretched out his hand.
While blocking his eyes, he asked in an anxious tone: "Who is it? Stop, don't take the photo! It's so dazzling!"
Ignoring the youth's frequent protests, Zhao Ping was instinctively shocked when he saw that the person coming was Yao Fujiang. In his opinion, a timid person like Yao Fujiang would be dead if he were left alone in the wilderness, especially in this city full of people.
Yinshan Mountain
It can even be said that he had concluded that Yao Fujiang would not survive long before the other party separated from him and Chen Xiaoyao. The chance of being killed by Qi on the way was infinitely close to 100%. However, what he did not expect was that
…
It is indeed Yao Fujiang himself in front of him. If the cymbal was disguised, he would be able to tell the authenticity instantly just by the impact. After all, the cymbidium is a spiritual body. Even if it can disguise itself as a human, once it comes into contact, it can still easily determine the authenticity through physical contact.
.
There is no doubt that the impact was real, which means that the person in front of him is indeed Yao Fujiang, the young man with a flat head who should have been killed for a long time as expected.
His eyes flickered, and he turned off the flashlight with his fingers. As the flashlight turned off and the light source disappeared, on the opposite side, Yao Fujiang, who had adapted to the darkness again, finally saw the opposite side clearly, and saw clearly who the person he just bumped into was. It was also not someone else, and it was also not someone else.
