Chapter 213 Bull's Head
The "Evil Luohai City" shrouded under Mu Ai, there are countless lights in the city, which look particularly hazy in the faint mist. It seems that the residents in the ancient city have lit candles and are ready to welcome the arrival of the night. However, the city is silent like death. I can't feel a trace of anger. After just a few glances, I was already sweating all over. Legend has it that the residents in this city have disappeared for no reason. Moreover, even if the Reincarnation Sect in later generations has been extinct for hundreds of years, how could there be any lights in this city? There is no movement in the city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. It seems that it is either a "dead city" or a "ghost city".
Just when I was shocked, the rest of the people climbed to the top of the green rock one after another. Like me, they saw this ancient city with a huge contrast between "death" and "life", and couldn't speak for a long time.
Legend has it that the ancient city of "Pompeii" in the Roman era was also destroyed overnight due to the disaster of volcanic eruption. Later, archaeological excavations found that when the residents in the city died, they still retained the normal way they lived at home during their lifetime. The posture of "Pompeii" was frozen forever at the moment of destruction.
However, the residents in the ancient city in front of us seem to have all evaporated from the world, only the "Evil Luohai City" like a beehive, standing brilliantly in the twilight. It is preserved so well that it makes people feel that it seems to have broken free from the shackles of time. No change has occurred in the past few thousand years. What disasters have happened in this city? Just thinking about it is terrifying.
We will inevitably think that this city is a "ghost sting", but after asking Axiang, we got a negative answer. This devil's nest does exist, and is not a "ghost sting" created by the dead souls.
We were about to discuss how to enter the city, but suddenly I heard the water of the lake in the "Wind Erosion Lake" under the rock. At this time, the sky was not yet dark. Looking down from a high place, the entire view of the Wind Erosion Lake, as clear as glass, is vivid in my mind, but it is relatively blurred and hazy. The "White Bearded Old Fish" and the two "Spotted Dragons" have decided to fight against each other. In order to help their ancestors, thousands of White Bearded Fish, desperately hit the "Spotted Dragons" underwater with their bodies.
There was a bright red mark on the top of the heads of the "white bearded fish", which seemed to be their strongest part. Their body was about half a meter on average. They bounced their bodies in the water, which was enough to make people spit blood. Although the pair of "dappled dragons" were fierce and tenacious, they didn't feel anything if they were hit by ten or eight big fish, they could not withstand the bombardment of tens of thousands of big fish. In addition, the old fish took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the "dappled dragons" could not withstand, so they had to jump back to the woods on the shore. The trees were knocked to the east and west by them, and disappeared in an instant.
The old fish with bruises all over the lake were floating in the lake. Its body was bitten off by the "spotted dragon". A large piece of the fish gills was torn off. Its roe fish grandchildren gathered around and blocked its wounds with their mouths. The "white bearded fish" gathered more and more. In a moment, it formed a "fish array" again, and a large area of blackness covered the surface of the "wind-eroded lake".
I saw the "fish formation" slowly sinking to the bottom of the lake, and I thought that there must be such fierce conflicts between the "white bearded fish" and the "dappled dragon". The "dappled dragon" seems to only want to kill these fish, rather than simply hunting and wrapping the belly. However, the fish are commanded by the fish king. Although the "dappled dragon" is powerful, it is difficult to gain any advantage. Is the conflict between them just to seize this rare "wind-eroded lake"? What is the special thing about this lake? This may involve many ancient secrets, but I don't care about these things before I see them. Before the sky is completely dark, I should go to "Evil Luohai City".
Shirley Yang asked me if I wanted to go directly to the city? There were obviously lights flashing in the city, but they were surprisingly quiet. The strange signs made people daunt.
I said to Shirley Yang: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger? Since A Xiang said there is nothing unclean in this city, I think we have lost thirty-six times, and there is nothing to be afraid of now. However, this ancient city does exude evil spirit from the inside out, and it seems to hide some unimaginable things. We can only be used to it and go straight into it with one sword."
So everyone brought the remaining items and searched for a way to enter the city. The ancient city like a big beehive was deeply trapped underground. The white city walls like barrels seemed to be just a decoration, without much military defense functions, but they were very large, and it took a lot of effort to get around. There were wisps of strange mist floating in the city. The houses here were all caves on the beehive, and they were well connected. We were worried that we would get lost and dare not enter rashly. We only looked in a few holes. The more we looked, the more we felt frightened.
There is no one in this city, but seven or eight out of ten families have already lit the lights. Moreover, those lights are not bright and permanent lights. They are all ancient fuels made of dried feces of wild animals mixed with grease. They seem to have just been lit. Although the caves in the city are ancient, they are definitely not as broken as millennium ancient sites. Some of the artifacts and animal skins in the cave look new, and there are even half-ground skull wine glasses.
The time in this city really seemed to have frozen. The freezing time seemed to be the moment when the residents in the city disappeared. We discussed it. It is easy to get lost when wandering around the city in the dark. Moreover, the streets in this "Evil Luohai City" including the main buildings of political, religious and sacrificial institutions may be in the depths of the big hive. There are thousands of doors and households in the city, and the structure of ordinary cities is completely different. The safest way at the moment is to wait until dawn to see the structure of the hive on the outside and find a shortcut to enter the deep altar. You must not be recklessly bumped into the city. You must naturally not be ambiguous when you should be a bastard, but you must not act rashly when you should be cautious.
We planned to spend the night on the city wall, but when we passed a hole under the wall, the fat man seemed to smell a rabbit's hound, sniffing and saying, "What's so fragrant? It's like someone's stewing beef and fucking the Bull Demon King's sister. This really touched the fat man's itch."
After hearing what the fat man said, I seemed to smell the meat aroma of boiled beef. It was from the cave house. I was worried that there was not much food left and there was not enough distribution. I just said that I could deal with it for two or three days by the Fengyi Lake Lake. It was a comfort to everyone. In fact, it was not enough to eat. At this moment, I had to go in and take a look when I smelled the meat aroma. At that moment, I took the lead in getting into the cave house. There was indeed a cooked yak meat in the stone cauldron inside, which was gulping with heat. It was really delicious and mixed with the five flavors.
The fat man swallowed his saliva and asked me, "Commander Hu, we really want to do whatever we want. Although the butter is sweet, it is not as good as tsampa. Although tsampa is good, it is not as good as yak meat to resist hunger. Is this beef prepared for us? Can this... be eaten?"
In this ancient city without a half-person figure, there was a pot of freshly cooked beef. It was hard to guess with common sense. I remembered that when I was a educated youth, eating the fruit of the old lady in the "Niuxin Mountain" with the Jiulong jade lotus. Could this be a ghost market? They are all frogs and earthworms become sluts, and they will have a stomachache after eating them. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hesitate. Although I really wanted to pick the big piece of beef that had been cooked to eat, rationality told me that the situation of these meats was unknown, so it would be better not to eat them. Although they looked like beef, maybe the human meat was cooked in the pot.
Uncle Ming was so hungry that he was touching his back. He stared at the yak meat in the pot with his fat man. In this moment, they had probably eaten several pieces with their eyes. I asked Shirley Yang if he had any opinion on this pot of meat?
Shirley Yang shook his head very simply, and confirmed with A Xiang again that the yak meat cooked in this pot was indeed real and not mixed with any fake ones.
When the fat man heard A Xiang say this, he couldn't wait any longer and was not afraid of being hot. He reached out and pinched a piece of meat and swallowed it in his mouth: "I will sacrifice myself for justice, and I will try it for my comrades first. I will greet me first if there are poisonous medicines in the meat." He said while eating, and before he finished speaking, he had already eaten seven or eight pieces of beef in his stomach, and he couldn't stop him.
We waited for a while and saw that there was no problem with him after he finished eating. At this time, the fat man had already made half a pot of beef. I felt that he could not observe it anymore. Even his mother's cucumber and vegetable were cold. Since it was not poisonous, there was nothing I dare not eat, so everyone made up their minds and would rather die than be a starving ghost, so they used paratrooper knife to pick out the beef and eat it.
As I was eating, I suddenly remembered something and said to Uncle Ming: "As soon as tomorrow morning, we want to go deep into the big hive, and it is unknown what dangers there are, and it is not easy to come. It is safer for you and Axiang to stay outside the city. We will come out to pick you up after we finish."
Uncle Ming was stuffing several pieces of beef in his mouth, and he couldn't speak. In a hurry, he simply swallowed the meat whole. He choked and rolled his eyes for a long time. Then he said to me: "We are all from a family sooner or later, why are we talking about things when we are not talking about it? Although A Xiang and I don't have much ability, we can help you some more..."
Uncle Ming used to say that he wanted to marry A Xiang to me, and he discussed it with me in private. I never agreed. At this time, Uncle Ming said that sooner or later, it was a family. Shirley Yang heard it and immediately asked Uncle Ming: "What family? Are you going to catch a relative with Lao Hu?"
Uncle Ming said: "Yes, I just think of Brother Hu's character. Men should get married when they are old and women should get married when they are old. Naturally, my current generation will have to worry about them. Even if my goddaughter is married to him for life, I can close my eyes when I die, which is worthy of Axiang's biological parents."
I quickly interrupted Uncle Ming: "For thousands of years, the blood of the working people in China has become a sea of blood. After the struggle has failed, and after failure has been fought again, until the final victory has been achieved, in order to overthrow the three mountains that have been pressed on our Chinese people. I have been reborn for half my life. In the end, I still want to arrange an arranged marriage under the feudal system for me? I want me to suffer twice again and commit another crime? I firmly oppose it. Whoever mentions it will cause whoever I will rebel."
The fat man just had enough food. He was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. After hearing what we said, he immediately started to cheer and said to Uncle Ming: "Uncle Ming, my uncle, don't pay attention to Hu Bayi, tell him a wife. This is a good thing for pies falling from the sky, but he was stunned that the pies falling from the sky are not from Sanxian. Why don't you give me A Xiangyun? My parents left early, can I go to your house to get back into the door? From now on, I will treat you as my father. When you return to your position, I promise to howl from Tiananmen Square to Babao Mountain and promise Chairman Mao that he would not stop at a single word. If he is to be sad, he would be so sad... just how sad he is."
The fat man slammed Uncle Ming, and I almost spit out all the beef in my mouth when I heard it. At this moment, a buzzing sound came from the depths of the cave house, interrupting everyone's laughter. Everyone in the house heard it. It was not surprising that the sound of yaks was in Tibet, but in this quiet ancient city, plus we had just eaten beef, it was enough to make our scalp numb.
I asked Shirley Yang to stay and take care of Uncle Ming and A Xiang, waved to the fat man, and they picked up their weapons, held up their "wolf eyes" and touched the depths of the cave house. When I came in, I took a rough look inside. The structure was similar to the other cave houses, but there seemed to be more stone gates. Since I looked at several cave houses, there was no one inside, so after that, I just took a casual look and didn't pay much attention. When I walked to the stone gate, I felt that something was wrong.
The stone door was slippery and there was a bloody human-shaped handprint. It seemed that someone's hands were covered with blood. When he left, he hurriedly took the stone door. When he touched it, the blood seemed to be very fresh and it didn't last long.
I nodded to the fat man. The fat man stepped back two steps, rushed forward, and used his shoulder to break the stone door open. I followed him and raised his gun, but there was still no one inside. I saw blood everywhere on the walls around him, and the stone tables and wooden stakes in the middle were also bright red. I saw piles of fresh yak meat. This was the slaughterhouse in the city. There were a few bloody cowhides that were still steaming, as if they had just been peeled from the cow.
