Chapter seven hundred and eighty fifth unknown place
Jiang Yishui used a secret method to escape, and his speed was too fast. According to Yaya's instructions, Bai Yang and the kitten chased each other for three days without seeing any trace of him. If Yaya hadn't vowed that the direction was absolutely correct, Bai Yang would have almost given up.
.
In three days, Bai Yang chased for hundreds of thousands of miles, across more than ten state capitals of the Chen Dynasty. Jiang Yishui had already left the area where satellites were installed. He could not do surveillance and could only rely on Yaya's ability.
That day, Bai Yang stopped chasing Jiang Yishui at the top of a mountain, looking ahead with an uncertain expression.
It wasn't that Bai Yang gave up chasing Jiang Yishui, but the area ahead made him feel very uncomfortable.
It was a barren mountain range that stretched to the horizon. Gray-black mist rose from the sky, and the earth was lifeless. There were very few plants. It was desolate and dead, which made people feel depressed.
"Yeah..."
Yaya pointed her little finger forward and expressed eagerly that Jiang Yishui was in the mountains ahead. She even pulled Bai Yang's clothes to express that she was very close and that she could catch him as long as she went over.
To be cautious, Bai Yang did not take immediate action, but took out the Chen Dynasty map to see where this place was.
At first glance, Bai Yang's frown deepened. The map clearly showed that this place was already on the border of the Chen Dynasty, with an area larger than a state. This was secondary. The main thing was that there was no written mark on this place, only a bloody red sign.
The cross seems to be warning people not to set foot in this place easily.
"What's wrong, young master?" Mao Mao asked in confusion.
Putting away the map, Bai Yang looked at the dead and barren mountains ahead and said: "The front no longer belongs to the territory of the Chen Dynasty. Opposite this place is a country called Dayue Dynasty, while on the left is the Jiang Dynasty and on the right is the Canglang Dynasty. We
At your feet is the Chen Dynasty, and this place belongs to the junction of the four countries!"
"The location we are currently in is Yunzhou, which is where the Chen Dynasty and Canglang Dynasty armies are in a stalemate!" Mao Mao said in a deep voice. She had also looked at the map before, but she only realized it now.
"Yes, originally the vast area along the Chen Dynasty Yunzhou to the north and nearly ten state capitals belonged to the Chen Dynasty. However, with Xue Wufeng's betrayal, they all fell to the Canglang Dynasty," Bai Yang nodded.
"Then what should we do next? Should we continue to hunt Jiang Yishui?" Mao Mao asked.
Bai Yang shook his head and said: "I feel something is wrong about this place. It's best not to set foot there easily before you figure it out. First, look for people nearby to find out more about it!"
After taking a deep look at the barren mountains in front of him, Bai Yang turned around and left with the kitten. Yaya couldn't run away in the river anyway, so he had to figure out where this place was first.
There is nothing wrong with finding someone to ask about the situation in that area, but what makes Bai Yang even more surprised is that the area close to that area is completely deserted for nearly a thousand miles. Not to mention the villages, there is not even a human hair to be seen!
This made Bai Yang surprised and more aware of the extraordinary nature of that place.
The hard work paid off, and it took Bai Yang nearly half a day to finally find a village closest to that area.
The village is very small, with only about twenty households in total.
When I set foot in the village, the overall feeling here gave Bai Yang an indescribable feeling besides the simplicity of an ordinary village. If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be evil.
Yes, evil!
Here, there is a dark pattern painted on the door of every house. I don’t know what the painting is. Moreover, incense is lit at the door of every house, and it will be replaced with a new one before it is burned out.
, causing the whole village to be filled with the smell of burning incense.
Perhaps it is because this place is almost isolated from the world and no one comes here all year round. As soon as Bai Yang and the others appear, there are not many children in the village who yell and hide behind the trees and behind the stone mill to watch quietly.
When the adults found out, they quickly pulled their children behind them and looked at Bai Yang warily, and they were very afraid.
"We took the liberty of coming here just to inquire about the situation. We don't mean any harm," Bai Yang said to the middle-aged man in front of him who was protecting his child behind him.
"Distinguished guests from afar, what do you want to know?" the middle-aged man in linen asked cautiously.
Pointing to the dead mountain range, Bai Yang asked, "Brother, do you know where that direction is?"
When Bai Yang asked this question, he obviously saw the eyes of the person opposite him shrinking and his expression becoming extremely frightened. He pulled his child back and shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything!
"
Then, all the adults and children around him ran away and disappeared...
This is a bit embarrassing.
"Master, the people here seem to be very taboo about that place and don't even dare to talk about it," Mao Mao said with a puzzled look on his face.
Nodding, Bai Yang swept away his thoughts and walked straight to the most dilapidated wooden house in the village. There was an old man with gray hair who was dying. Maybe he could know something from him.
The old man was really so old that it took Bai Yang and the others ten seconds to react after they arrived.
"Old man, are you alone at home?" Bai Yang asked the almost demented old man lying on the couch.
"Dead, all dead..." the old man murmured, not sure whether he was talking to himself or answering Bai Yang's question.
Glancing at Bai Yang, the little cat took two steps forward and squatted next to the old man and asked, "Old man, do you know where that direction is?"
As soon as these words came out, the old man trembled, regained some clarity, and said tremblingly: "That is an unknown place, that is an unknown place, let's go, let's all go..."
"Old man, can you give us a detailed explanation?" Mao Mao asked again.
"It's an unknown place, it's an unknown place, let's go, let's go quickly..." The old man repeated these words, his whole body trembling.
Bai Yang frowned, the old man had reached the point where the oil was exhausted, so he took out a drop of Dragon Yuan, peeled off a little, and blended it into a bottle of wine. Then he took out a glass and walked over to the old man to drink it. The old man couldn't bear more.
After drinking this wine containing a trace of dragon essence, the old man's face suddenly became rosy, and even his wrinkles seemed to be much less relaxed. Bai Yang estimated that he could live for at least ten years!
At this time, the old man was completely awake. He looked at Bai Yang and stood up in high spirits, cupping his hands and saying, "Thank you so much, noble man."
"Old man, you don't have to do this. It's just a matter of effort. I would like to know some information about that direction. Can you tell me?" Bai Yang asked.
The old man looked in that direction, his whole body trembled again, and then he sat down silently for a long time while Bai Yang waited patiently.
After being silent for a full ten minutes, the old man looked at Bai Yang inexplicably and said: "Noble sir, our village has been living here for generations. In fact, we don't know that place. We only know that it is an unknown place. I have encountered it before."
Many people like you have inquired about that place, then went there and never came out again. I have lived for more than sixty years and I have never seen anyone come out!"
Nodding, Bai Yang frowned and asked, "Besides these, is there really nothing else you know?"
"I don't know. We never dare to go in that direction. My dear, I also advise you not to go. That place is really unknown. You only need to wait until night to find out," the old man said with a trembling voice.
Bai Yang nodded thoughtfully and said, "In that case, I won't bother you."
After leaving the courtyard where the old man lived, Bai Yang said under the questioning gaze of the kitten: "There is a saying in my hometown that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences. Let's wait until the evening. It's getting late anyway."
"Yeah." The kitten naturally had no objection.
So Bai Yang left the village with the kitten and chose a higher place to wait while observing the situation in the village.
After observation, people in this village are really taboo about that direction and try to avoid it no matter what they do.
Time passed by little by little, and the sun slowly set. However, people in the village closed their doors just before the sun set completely!
Not understanding what was going on, Bai Yang continued to wait...
When the sun completely set, Bai Yang suddenly felt that the world was cold and cold, which made people very uncomfortable, but even if he opened his eyes, he could not detect where this feeling came from!
"What a strange feeling, Master, let's leave," Mao Mao said with a slightly trembling voice.
"I'm here. It's okay. If you wait a little longer, if something goes wrong, we'll leave immediately." Bai Yang hugged the kitten tightly and said.
The sky here gets dark very quickly, and it only takes less than twenty minutes after the sun goes down to make you unable to see where you are!
When it got completely dark, the whole village became silent and like a ghost land, without even the chirping of insects or birds.
"Master, did you hear any noise?" The kitten hugged Bai Yang tightly in the darkness and said anxiously.
Listening attentively, Baiyang could faintly hear a voice that sounded like weeping from a distance, and it seemed like someone was whispering in a low voice, going straight to the bottom of his heart, making people feel hairy all over.
"I want to see what the devil is showing off!"
Bai Yang didn't believe in evil, so he took the kitten into the sky and flew in the direction of the sound.
But the sound seemed to echo in my ears, and it seemed to be in the horizon. The poplars flew thousands of miles without finding the source, and finally almost set foot on the dead mountains over there.
Stopping, even Bai Yang felt creepy, it was so evil.
Taking a deep breath, he felt that it was necessary to return to the village to carefully understand the situation in this area. Bai Yang believed that if the ancestors of that village had lived there for generations, they must know something, and he would have to figure it out even if he used some means!
However, when Bai Yang returned to the village with the kitten, an unexpected situation occurred.
"Master, there is no life left in the village, so everyone seems to be... dead!" the kitten said anxiously.
With the power of his mind swept away, Bai Yang's heart was filled with a layer of haze.
Just as the kitten said, everyone in the whole village died, old and children, all died silently, and their movements and expressions even when they died were no different from what they were in life!
