Chapter three hundred and seventy-ninth mountain road encounters ghosts
The road to Shu is difficult, and Sun Ran really experienced it this time when he left Sichuan and entered Chang'an.
The road was steep and dangerous, and even if he had martial arts skills, the journey would be extremely difficult and he could only cover dozens of miles in a day.
"Little brother, it's getting dark, let's find a place to rest?" The speaker was a businessman who was traveling with him. His surname was Yao and his name was Yao Fu. His family moved from Chengdu to Chang'an, dragging his family along with him, including the bodyguards and
There are five porters in total.
Sun Ran met him halfway, thinking that the journey would be difficult and dangerous, so he went together. He was regarded as the merchant's temporary guard, and Yao Fu provided food and supplies.
Sun Ran looked at the sky. The sun had already set in the west, and it would be dark in half an hour. At this time, the group was still in the deep mountains and old forests. He nodded and walked to a strong man carrying a load in the team.
, said softly: "Brother Wang, this forest is so deep and the mountain roads are dangerous. It makes people feel uneasy just looking at it. You have to be careful to guard against wild beasts at night."
The strong man's name is Wang Liu. He is in his mid-thirties. He is a guard hired by Yao Fu. He works part-time as a burden bearer. He has a down-to-earth personality. He traveled extensively when he was young. He is experienced and knowledgeable. He nodded and said: "Don't worry, little brother, I understand."
There were no horse-drawn carriages along the way. Everyone was walking on foot. The grown-up men were no big deal. Even the poor women in Yao Fu’s family had to follow them over the mountains and ridges, which was very hard.
Fortunately, the Yao family members are all in good health. Although they were tired during the trip, they did not encounter any illnesses.
The group of people walked along the mountain road for a while, and Miss Yao suddenly screamed.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the little girl was throwing herself in her mother's arms. Yao Fu's wife Zhang was gently patting her daughter on the back and whispering comfort. Looking at the ground, there was a dusty figure on the ground.
Dead man's skull.
In ancient times, it was not uncommon for people to die in accidents while traveling. It was quite normal to encounter corpses on the road.
After some consolation, the little girl calmed down, and then everyone continued on their way.
Wang Liu smiled and said: "Xiao Nizi is just timid. When I was walking on the mountain road alone at night, I encountered a ghost beating the wall. I walked around alone and finally ended up in a mass grave. That was scary.
"
Yao Fu is a businessman who is very verbal. When he heard this, he quickly said: "Don't talk about it, don't talk about it. It's what you say. Be careful of attracting dirty things."
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you that." Wang Liu laughed, looked up at the sky, and said, "Boss Yao, the rock in front of you is sheltered from the wind, and it's getting dark, so let's have a rest today.
"
"That's fine." Yao Fu nodded.
Seeing that the rocks were right ahead, but actually not very close, the group walked for more than half an hour until the sun completely set and the sky became dark, then they reached the end of the field.
Wang Liu and another honest porter put down the things, and Mrs. Yao and Miss Yao began to place bedding under the rocks. Yao Fu began to distribute dry food for dinner.
Sun Ran was given three pancakes, so he sat aside and ate them with the water in his bag. After a while, Wang Liu came over. He sat next to him and said with a smile: "Little brother, look at you, it's your first time.
Far away?"
"Well, I'm going to Chang'an for a study tour." Sun Ran didn't hide it either.
"Oh, I can tell. Chang'an is a good place. I've been there several times. It's so majestic, just like the Heavenly Palace. The girls are as beautiful as immortals. All the scholars are in high spirits. Oh, it's such a good place.
Ah..." Wang Liu is a rough man, and he can't say anything good about it, but he just found it very unforgettable.
Sun Ran didn't interrupt, just smiled and listened, and then said casually: "Brother Wang, you are knowledgeable and know who the powerful people are in the world?"
Wang Liu was very pleased with it. He ate the pancake, drank some water, squinted his eyes and said: "Of course there are powerful people. There are three sages in the world, the painting sage Wu Daozi, the grass sage Zhang Xu, and the sword sage Pei Min. They are extremely skilled, especially
It's General Pei, the Sword Saint. He's really powerful. His sword can produce ghosts and gods, and he's known as the best master in the world."
"Oh. Is there a beauty there?" Sun Ran asked again.
Wang Liu suddenly laughed: "Little brother, do you miss a woman? Haha, speaking of this beauty, the number one in the world is naturally Yang Taizhen, but Concubine Taizhen lives deep in the palace. Ordinary people can't see her. The odd-numbered folk include Ye
The Gongsun sisters of the city are good at sword dancing, their beauty is natural, and their fame spreads throughout the world."
"Oh, if you say that, I would like to go to Yecheng to visit you."
"That's not necessary. I heard that Sister Gongsun was summoned by the Holy Spirit and is also in Chang'an at this time." Wang Liu said with a smile.
This was just right. Sun Ran nodded and was about to speak. Miss Yao suddenly let out another scream behind her, as if she had bumped into something again. Wang Liu cursed in a low voice: "Little girl, you are so timid. You bump into this..."
I keep calling for everything!”
But Boss Gao also started to speak out in surprise, saying hello: "Little brother, Wang Liu, come and see, there is a hole under the stone, and there is a cool breeze blowing!"
Sun Ran and Wang Liu stood up and walked over. The honest porter on the side also looked at the entrance of the cave, and suddenly his eyes showed fear: "I have seen this thing before. This is the Huangquan Cave. The wind blowing is not a cool breeze, but a dark wind, blown from the underworld!"
"Don't talk nonsense! What's wrong with the wind blowing in the cave? Maybe it's open to the other side?" Wang Liu scolded angrily and walked up to take a look.
This hole is very hidden. There are weeds around it. You can't see it unless you get closer. When you get closer, you find that the hole is half a meter high and more than one meter wide. You can't tell how deep it is. It's just dark. There are sounds coming from the hole.
There was a whining sound, and when you put your hand on the hole, it felt cool and ice-cold, making your hair stand on end.
Wang Liu's expression suddenly became serious, and he turned to look at Sun Ran: "It's weird, why is the ground so cold in the summer. Little brother, come and see what's going on?"
Sun Ran stepped forward and stretched out his hand to try it. It was indeed very cold. He took his hand back, closed his eyes, and muttered a few words in a low voice: "The ancestors protect you, and the eyes of the sky will be opened!"
He lightly drew his fingers on the center of his eyebrows, then opened his eyes to look, and the scene in front of him changed. He saw traces of black air constantly pouring out of the hole. The black air sometimes turned into the shape of a skull, and sometimes turned into a ferocious appearance, with thin ears.
Listening, you can still hear screams as thin as gossamer, like needles and threads, piercing the eardrums time and time again, straight into people's hearts.
Sun Ran's face became solemn. He took a step back and cupped his hands towards the entrance of the cave: "We didn't intend to disturb the immortal, so I hope we'll forgive you."
Then he straightened up, made a gesture, and said softly: "Pack your things and leave quickly!"
At this time, the sky was already dark, and a thin mist was rising around them unknowingly. A quick look revealed a vast expanse of white. Except for Wang Liu, the other four people's faces turned pale with fear. They quickly packed their things and prepared to leave.
There is also a mountain wind blowing through the dense forest, whining, like sobbing sadly, making people feel panicky.
After everyone had tidied up, Sun Ran said to Wang Liu: "Brother Wang, you lead the way, I will take the lead!"
"Okay!" Wang Liu rushed out first, followed by the three members of the Yao family, then the porters, and finally Sun Ran. The group hurriedly left the rock.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Wang Liu asked: "Little brother, what's the situation inside the cave?"
"The cave where thieves abandoned corpses is filled with the souls of those who died in vain. When their resentment gathers, they turn into evil ghosts, which is very dangerous!" Sun Ran said.
This is half true and half false. The place where corpses were abandoned is real, and the souls who died in vain are also real, but turning into evil ghosts is a lie. Now that this is happening, it should be discovered by some saboteur and used to practice ghost skills. Instead,
It makes sense to say that resentment turns into ghosts in the virtual world.
However, saboteurs take risks and will not appear out of thin air to scare people. As long as they appear, they must be related to a certain player. Judging from the current situation, this matter will most likely fall on this businessman named Yao.
When Wang Liu heard this, he slapped his thigh heavily: "Mom, this is really dangerous!"
The three members of the Yao family were so frightened that they did not dare to say anything and only followed tremblingly. Especially the little girl, who wanted to cry but did not dare to cry. She clenched her fists with both hands and was shaking all over. Her face was so frightened that she turned blue.
.
The group of people hurriedly walked through the dense forest for a while. The sky had completely darkened and the fog was thicker. Although they were not blind, they could hardly see the road. As they walked, the front suddenly became clear, and a scene appeared in front of them.
A small open space.
The group of people moved forward again. After walking for a while, Wang Liu's surprised voice came back: "Little brother, we are back!"
Everyone looked up and saw a rock standing in front of them through the dim starlight. Isn't it the same place they left just now?
The little girl was timid, so she finally couldn't help it, started crying, and hugged Mrs. Yao. The two women were shaking like chaff.
The porter simply knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the rocks: "Great Immortal, please have mercy on me, Great Immortal, please have mercy on me!"
Yao Fu and Wang Liu looked at Sun Ran. Along the way, they knew that this little brother was good at magic, and now they could only rely on him.
Sun Ran held the sword in his hand and walked forward. He held the sword in both hands and bowed to the mountain stone and saluted: "Great Immortal, we have no intention of offending you. If you insist on going your own way, I, Li Taibai, can only fight to the death!"
This damn saboteur is trying to create a mystery and create a ghost in the deep mountains and forests to fight psychological warfare. His intention is to scare people to death.
The rocks were silent, but the sound of wind coming from the cave at the bottom became more and more rapid and whining, as if it was really blowing out of the Nine Netherworld, and even the surrounding temperature began to drop.
It seems that the saboteur has no intention of giving up at all. Perhaps he thinks he is a player and does not take him seriously.
Sun Ran was not in a hurry to take action. He turned around and said to everyone: "Don't wander around. Just sit together and wait until dawn. When the sun comes out, we will be safe."
Everyone obeyed and sat around. At this moment, Wang Liu whispered: "Little brother, something is wrong. Something seems to have crawled out of the cave."
Although the voice was soft, everyone heard it and looked towards the entrance of the cave. Sure enough, in the dark entrance of the cave, a mass of solid black air was slowly emerging, accompanied by a thin but shrill cry as thin as a gossamer.
.
Looking carefully, it seems to be shouting: "Give me back my life~~~Give me my life~~"
Just at this moment, there was another night owl cry, 'ding-ding~~-ringing', like an old woman's strange laughter, suddenly sounded in the nearby trees, even Sun Ran's pores stood up instinctively.
The Yao family's mother and daughter rolled their eyes and fainted. An even more foul smell came from the porter's side, and the porter was so frightened that he peed.
