Lin Xiao looked at the village in front of him with a heavy gaze.
Different from the houses he had seen in the past, the layout of this village could be described as unorganized. Dozens of cottages were built adjacent to each other from north to south. Needless to say, the appearance was simple and crude. Since the land area was not abundant, even the layout was inconsistent. Extremely cramped.
Faded clothes are still hanging in front of several houses, and there are thick webs of spider silk under each roof beam. It is desolate and dilapidated everywhere, except for a red glazed rattle lying beside a dry well at the end of the village. , the color still retains its original brightness, and seems to be the only thing in this village that is in line with civilization.
Lin Xiao walked slowly to the well, bent down to pick up the rattle, wiped off the dust on the drum surface, turned the drum handle, and the two round drum pendants hit the drum surface, making a dull "dong-dong-dong" sound. ring.
When you listen carefully, you can still hear the childish laughter.
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes. Obviously, this is a village that has been abandoned for a while. Every scene in the village shows that it was once lively and bustling, but it strangely stopped at a certain moment.
He thought that he and his men had been trapped in this mountain for a whole day. No matter what methods they tried, they could not get out of this strange mountain. I wonder if it had something to do with the uninhabited village in front of them?
A gust of insidious wind interrupted his thoughts. If the wind had any substance, it circled around his feet and blew up the hem of his sapphire blue shirt like a mischief.
Immediately after a pair of white hands, he wrapped his long legs, and his murmur's murmur's murmur: Haojun's Lang Jun-
Lin Xiao¡¯s pupils shrank suddenly, and without thinking, he pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed his body with all his strength.
However, he found that the place of exertion was empty, not even a ghost in front of him.
Lin Xiao¡¯s heartbeat was beating like a drum, and large beads of sweat oozed from his fair and jade forehead. The touch of his hands just now was so real that it was definitely not his imagination. What the hell is this place? ! He suddenly raised his head and looked around angrily. The sword in his hand felt the owner's sudden murderous intention and made a buzzing sound.
He has never believed in ghosts and gods, but from the moment he entered the mountain, everything that happened around him exceeded his understanding. There was a mountain that he could not get out of, endless ghosts beating on the wall, and an uninhabited village that suddenly appeared. The most terrible thing is that night is coming at a faster pace, and the village in front of you will soon be shrouded in darkness. If there really is a ghost, you may still have some scruples under the bright sky. How will it appear in front of you at night?
The mountain fog gradually thickened, and the dusk wind brought sporadic camel bells, bringing Lin Xiao's consciousness back to the human world.
"De-de" the sound of horse hooves came from far and near, and a group of seven or eight knights galloped into the village.
Most of the people on the horse were brave and upright young men. They exuded vigorous vitality. They just raised their whips and split the thick death energy around them with a powerful force.
Lin Xiao seemed to be able to hear the sound of cracking silk in the darkness. The strange scene just now dissipated with the wind. He calmed down and slowly put the sword that was still making a buzzing sound back into its scabbard.
The leading young man among the knights was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was fair and handsome, and the blades of time had not yet left any traces on his young face. He came straight to Lin Xiao with an awe-inspiring expression. As soon as he got off the horse, he hurriedly said: "Lang Jun, some of my subordinates have gone around to check around. There are no villagers, no inns or taverns around this village, and they haven't even found any temples!"
Lin Xiao did not answer the call. It was already expected that there were no inns or taverns. This village was full of weirdness. Something extremely terrifying must have happened in the past to turn a village into a dead city overnight.
But there are not even temples and Taoist temples
Lin Xiao turned around and looked at the village. The houses in the dusk seemed to have dark vitality and looked at him silently. A ghostly figure loomed behind the dilapidated window, as if it was about to break out of the window in the next moment.
The feeling of despair and heart palpitations came again. Lin Xiao tried his best to calm down and moved his eyes elsewhere.
It seems that not only the common people are shunning this mountain spontaneously, but also the local government is determined to cut off the bridge that communicates with the mountain and the outside world, intending to turn it into a dead mountain.
"Lang Jun!" A young man named Chang Rong interrupted his thoughts, and then a disgraced Taoist priest rolled down from his horse to his feet.
The Taoist priest was restrained on his horse by the soldiers behind Chang Rong. The Taoist robe on his body was dirty and the same color as the dusk. In addition, Lin Xiao was uneasy just now, so he did not realize that there was such a big living person.
"When we went down the mountain to explore the road, we saw this Taoist priest sneaking behind us. When we asked him why he was here, he hesitated. His subordinates suspected that he had evil intentions, so they detained him."
VeryChang Rong¡¯s consistent style.
Lin Xiao was noncommittal and frowned as he looked at the Taoist priest in front of him. He was about forty or fifty years old, with splayed eyebrows and a goatee. Contrary to the dirty Taoist robes on his body, his face was very fair.
While moaning in pain, he glared angrily at Lin Xiao and others, and cursed: "You young men (Note 1), you are born like a dog, but you act so rude and rude!" There was a slight accent when he spoke. Weird, as if trying to hit every syllable accurately, but because it is too deliberate, it seems stiff.
Lin Xiao stared at the Taoist priest coldly and said, "Who are you? Why do you appear here?"
The Taoist priest did not reply, but continued to scold him angrily. Chang Rong on the side gradually showed impatience, and with a "swish" sound, he pulled out the saber on his waist.
The Taoist priest's soul was immediately frightened. He covered his neck and rolled away far away, as if Chang Rong's sword would move his head away if he rolled a little slower.
"If you have something to say, say it well! This young master! If you have something to say, speak it well!"
Chang Rong waved his sword in the air in a beautiful arc, pointed the tip of the sword at the Taoist priest from a distance, and said angrily: "Say well? We have been trapped in this broken mountain for a whole day, not to mention the living people, not even one person Not even a single bird or beast was seen. You, a Taoist priest, jumped out of nowhere and behaved so suspiciously. Needless to say, most of the traps in this mountain were caused by you! I will kill you now to prevent you from doing anything else again. It¡¯s a blind trick to harm people!¡±
The Taoist priest was furious, "You little man is so unreasonable!"
Seeing Chang Rong's fierce momentum, he really strode towards me with a knife in his hand. He rolled on the ground and hid from the wall, shouting: "If you kill me, you really won't be able to get out of this mountain! Do you know what this mountain is?" origin?!"
When Lin Xiao heard this, his heart moved. He turned around and winked at Chang Rong. It was enough to scare him. No matter where the Taoist priest came from, he could appear in this uninhabited mountain. It would be a big surprise to them who were trapped in the mountain at this time. It finally brought a glimmer of hope.
When the Taoist priest saw Chang Rong sheathing his sword, his anxious heart finally returned to his stomach. He wiped the sweat from his temples and was about to speak when he looked up and saw the setting sun with only its remaining halo, and his expression changed: " Oh, this is terrible! The sun is about to set. All officers and soldiers should quickly go down the mountain with Pindao. If you don't go down the mountain before dark, you really won't be able to get out!"
Lin Xiao¡¯s heart tightened. The Taoist priest¡¯s thoughts coincided with his. No matter what had happened in the village before, it still made the local officials avoid the mountain. Most of the terrifying things were still in the mountain.
Without further ado, he strode towards the horse, "Chang Rong led the Taoist priest to lead the way, and the others followed closely behind. No one must fall behind!"
Everyone took the order, but Chang Rong still left the Taoist priest on his horse as he had come, and took the lead to clear the way.
