Chapter 978
: Lack of great virtue
Ancient city, long street.
A line of will-o'-the-wisps stretches into the distance, and there is a will-o'-the-wisp rising and falling above the door of every house, except... our house is an exception!
Suddenly, I understood why that thing was staring at us before and stood at the window watching for a long time. The reason was the will-o'-the-wisp!
Link after link, this is like a completely different world, reminding me all the time how unsafe it is to be an outsider.
When I walked around the back of the house, I could no longer see the hell on earth because of the obstruction of my sight.
Lao Bai sat down on the ground, one of his legs was so straight that his face looked a little distorted. Without saying a word, he grabbed the boot and pulled it off, and began to rub the soles of his feet vigorously. His five toes twitched like chicken claws.
Like...
This coward!!
I mean, my posture when I came out of the house was so weird, it turned out that I was frightened and had cramps!!
I was about to help him soothe his meridians, but as soon as he squatted down, a spicy and sour smell hit my face. Looking at his pair of shiny socks, they were steaming in this cold environment.
So, I stood up and leaned aside silently.
Wushuang was not so good-tempered. He kicked Lao Bai on the butt and said in a low voice: "We don't have much time to waste time. It will be difficult for us to go on our way when we wait for these things to disperse!!"
"I...I, I...I think so too! But looking at those things eating people, when I think about what will happen if we are discovered, my feet won't obey my orders..."
Lao Bai muttered again and again, put on his shoes at least, and limped along as we walked close to the back of the house.
In comparison, Hu Tiansheng is more at ease than a few of us!
After all, he didn't know how many times he had walked back and forth in this place, avoiding the group of dead people wandering on the street. After the Yin soldiers, he was more calm. He knew what every spot was. For example, if he left this place
When he was walking down a street, he suddenly stopped. Instead of passing directly by the corner, he climbed up an almost completely collapsed stone house and went directly around to another street, avoiding it far away.
It said that there was a ghost old man there. He was very scary. His face was covered with snake scales. Even his tongue was exactly the same as a snake. It was forked and not like a human soul. He was guarding the corner almost every step of the way.
It won't leave. If we don't go around it, we will definitely hit it directly.
I don’t know how many minefields he has led us to avoid. These are the lessons he learned through blood and tears in the past.
There was such a "local snake" leading the way, and soon he led us to the back of a relatively large house.
This house is still made of stone components. It is naturally incomparable with the two temples we have seen before, and it is not very tall. It is at most four or five meters high. The wall on the back collapsed.
A large piece, the overall area is about twice the size of the ordinary houses here, it is not grand, but for a tribe like the Huiqi tribe, which has just begun to show signs of civilization, materials are often completely linked to their status, and a person has obvious differences.
The owner of a private residence must have belonged to the privileged class during his lifetime and had a very high status in the tribe.
This also shows that we have arrived at a very important area of the ancient city.
Sure enough, Hu Tiansheng quickly climbed onto the roof and lay motionless on the roof.
Years of desolation have made the roof covered with weeds, almost half a man tall, which can provide him with good cover.
I followed suit and climbed up immediately. The situation ahead was clear at a glance.
The buildings in the ancient city are relatively dense, and in front of it is a huge open space, surrounded by some huge stone buildings that occupy a large area.
It can be imagined that more than 3,000 years ago, all gatherings of the tribe of the dead were held here - military review, festivals, and even worship of gods, etc.
And the open space in front is enough to accommodate thousands of people...
However, it is still deserted now. Some of the surrounding trees are as thick as several people can hug each other, which is amazing. I even saw a few precious ash, which is also a precious tree species in the Northeast. Now
They have become Grade II protected trees. Because no one has taken care of them, these trees have grown wildly, and several houses have been crushed by the increasingly thick trees.
As for the open space, it has long been turned into a wasteland, almost a yellow-green ocean. If one gets into it, he will probably be swallowed up and disappear immediately.
In some more conspicuous places, there are several groups of Yin soldiers patrolling, and the sound of "clang" footsteps can be heard constantly.
Each team of Yin soldiers has at least dozens of people. I made a visual inspection and found that there were at least three to five hundred Yin soldiers here, but not a single dead person was seen moving here.
Hu Tiansheng lowered his voice and said, "This is where I saw that antelope before! It has been moving around those big willow trees, and those Yin soldiers almost turned a blind eye to it."
This is not the first time that Hu Tiansheng has emphasized the word "turn a blind eye". I didn't understand the situation here before, so I didn't think it was wrong. Now that he mentioned it again, I immediately felt that there might be some hidden meaning in it.
The animals here... are all cursed people, which can be understood as a kind of monsters. These monsters once helped the Yin soldiers of the dead controlled by Qing Ge to attack Humen. Basically, it shows that these monsters... are actually close to the
On the side of the Evil God, they are controlled by the curse of the Evil God!!
And the current gold diggers...are the monsters born from the batch of gold diggers from the late Qing Dynasty, who were born after twisted incest marriages and combined with the monsters here. They must be contaminated by the curse of the evil god.
Basically, it can be concluded that they are also on the side of the Evil God. The main gold vein is here. I thought that the Evil God of Hui used the main gold vein to reach a certain consensus with the gold diggers.
In this way, it is easy to understand that these sacrifices would kill the gold diggers and eat them alive. They were sacrificed to the dragon veins and existed to suppress the evil god of evil.
But why didn't they attack the antelope?
After all, these sacrifices seem to be sober, but in fact they are completely driven by the arrangement of the Heavenly Official. Their way of distinguishing friends and foes is not sophisticated at all, it is basically just one - as long as they are involved with the Evil God, they are theirs.
enemy!!
Then, there is only one possibility for them not to attack the antelope - that thing... didn't become like this because of the curse of the Evil God!
Hu Tian's inference that it is also a personal one is wrong. Like us, we all fell into the misunderstanding, thinking that it was by chance that the thing managed to maintain its sanity amidst the curse!!
It... what on earth is it?!
These thoughts flashed through my mind, and then I touched Lao Bai with my elbow and lowered my voice and said, "Didn't you say that you were involved in the dirty deeds of some poachers? You also said that you had worshiped
A hunter from Liaodong is my teacher. That hunter is a typical mountain hunter. He has passed on all his unique skills to you. There is basically nothing in this world that you can’t hunt. Now it’s time for you to show off. How to catch this antelope.
It’s up to you. Just a friendly reminder, this antelope has something weird about it and may not really be a human, so treat it as a real antelope!”
Lao Bai groped his chin and said: "If we treat it as a beast... I really have such a way! But this method... is immoral!"
I became interested: "Tell me about it!"
"I said, did you listen to me? This method is a bit immoral?"
"..."
I turned my head and looked at this guy speechlessly, silently asking him - are you still afraid of this? In other words, does "virtue" have anything to do with you?
"Forget it, I just said that!"
Lao Bai smiled mischievously, pulled away the weeds and took another look outside, then said: "It's difficult, unless... you can kill all the underworld soldiers below? Then I'm basically 80% or 90% sure that I can catch that one."
Antelope, provided...if it is indeed active in this area!"
Chapter completed!
