I shivered and knelt down. Zhuge Yushu had already noticed my arrival, but was surprised by my actions.
He looked over with deep eyes, but I didn't look down on him. I respectfully kowtowed to his father's bones three times.
My friend's husband is my father, not to mention that wood saved my life. It doesn't matter if I kowtow to his old man a few times.
Zhuge Yushu didn't speak, but I clearly felt that the expression on his face was a little moved.
He laid out his father's bones and wiped the snow off them.
Only then did I discover that there were obvious signs of oppression on his father's shoulders and spine.
I asked: "Your father was also possessed by Yingsha?"
Zhuge Yushu nodded slightly, "In Yaolong Ridge, there is a place called Longchian Cave. It is a holy place in the hearts of every Zhuge tribesman. It is also the burial place that my ancestors have longed for for generations..."
Zhuge Yushu continued to talk. He told me that Zhuge Liang’s mausoleum is said to be in the Dragon Shrine Cave, and the biggest last wish of their ancestors is to die in the Dragon Shrine Cave. Therefore, everyone will spend their own life before they die. At the cost of his last life force, he entered the dangerous Demon Dragon Ridge, just to have his bones buried in the Dragon Shrine Cave.
However, not everyone can find the Dragon Nest Cave, just like his father, who entered Yaolong Ridge early that year, but ended up dying here; and Zhuge Yushu, who lost his father at a very young age, almost used his own His young shoulders held up the entire Zhuge clan. From hunting for water sources for the tribe to leading the tribe to migrate, he was responsible for it all by himself...
After listening to Zhuge Yushu's words, I felt deeply in my heart.
The mysterious ability of this man who seems to be about the same age as me is inseparable from the hardships he suffered when he was a child. He had long known that his father's bones were nearby, but he didn't do it at first. He didn't go looking for it because he still had resentment in his heart, but later he couldn't help but go out alone. After all, it couldn't compare to the close blood relationship between father and son...
Ten minutes later, I helped Zhuge Yushu dig a hole, bury his father's bones, and then build a simple snow tomb.
There are no trees here, not even a decent stone. Zhuge Yushu could only tear off his own clothes and write his father's name on it with the blood of his own fingers. It can be regarded as a tombstone...
After everything was done, Zhuge Yushu said: "The Yingsha here, after sucking the flesh and blood of Zhuge's ancestors, will form more powerful blood babies. They are agile and can hide in heavy snow, and often kill people invisible... …”
My heart skipped a beat! Damn it, sir, we just finished dealing with the infant evil spirit, and now a blood infant has appeared. Are you going to make things easier for me?
…………
…………
I heard from Zhuge Yushu that almost all of their ancestors of the Zhuge family were buried in Yaolong Ridge, but those who could actually find and enter the Dragon Niche Cave might not be able to reach it with even one hand.
As for what shocking existence is in Longchun Cave, Zhuge Yushu himself doesn’t know, but he has a hunch that Zhuge Yi’s most precious nine-character secret technique is probably in Longchun Cave. As a descendant of Zhuge Yi’s family He has the responsibility and necessity to find this Nine-Character Heavenly Secret Technique.
Yaolong Ridge is completely white. Looking around, there is snow and mist everywhere.
We stayed in that cave for two days. We waited until the snow had lightened a bit and the injuries of Monk Zhangzhi and others had healed before we started on the road again.
The only rations we had with us could only sustain us for ten days in Yaolong Ridge. Not long after we entered, we had already spent two days of rations, so no one spoke much along the way. Silence enveloped everyone.
Even Zhou Xiaoshe, who was always talkative, was so cold that he remained silent.
I'm still leading the way.
As we walked deeper into Yaolong Ridge, the temperature dropped more and more. By the third day, we had put on all the warm clothes we could wear, but even so, we still felt
It was cold, and my mouth was filled with white air.
Here, the snow is as deep as the calves. It is soft and soft when you step on it, but it takes a lot of effort to lift it up again.
The walking became very slow, and along the way, we saw many sparse corpses. Most of these corpses were slumped on the ground, with no flesh and blood left on their bodies, leaving only skeletons covered with snow.
Shi Ying, who was traveling with him, discovered that the owners of these skeletons were actually the warriors of the Shi clan brought in by his father Shi Yan twenty years ago. They would all wear a stone ring on their wrists, which was a sign of their status as warriors of the Shi clan.
Proof, but in Yaolong Ridge, none of these brave and skilled men in the tribe could get out of Yaolong Ridge.
In a short distance, we saw dozens of skeletons of warriors from the Shi clan.
I asked Mu Sixuan, and she said that it snows almost all year round in Yaolong Ridge, and the temperature here is never higher. But when I looked at the corpses here, I found that none of them still had flesh and blood on them.
All that was left of each corpse was a skeleton, with no trace of flesh or skin left on it.
Logically speaking, the colder the place, the easier it is for corpses to be preserved. Even if the warriors of the Shi tribe brought in by Shi Yan twenty years ago are dead, in this weather, it is difficult for the corpses to decay.
But here, I saw dozens of corpses, including Zhuge Yushu's father, but none of them were complete and full of flesh and blood.
They are all empty skeletons, and there are almost signs of oppression on the backs and shoulders of these skeletons...
I raised my eyebrows. According to this, in fact, what really killed the hundreds of warriors Shi Yan brought back then, besides the cold weather, it is more likely that they were all sucked up by Yingsha.
And die.
Once this infant evil spirit possesses our backs, it will completely absorb all the nutrients in our bodies without even realizing it. In the end, not even a drop of blood will be left. And almost all the corpses we saw along the way had their backs covered with wounds.
The traces of Yingsha's possession were that their backbones were compressed to the point of severe deformation, and even the joints had sparse honeycomb-shaped holes, which were traces of the bone marrow being sucked away by Yingsha.
When I thought about it carefully, I was horrified that so many people brought by Shi Yan had become nutrients for the Yingsha. Wouldn’t it be true that the Yingsha after sucking them would be spread throughout Yaolong Ridge?
I asked Zhuge Yushu if there was any way to deal with these infant evil spirits, or even the blood infants that had become real evil things. Zhuge Yushu thought for a long time, but he told me another story about Yaolong Ridge...
