Chapter 31 There is a big monster in Skull Mountain
"ah?"
Unexpectedly, this old man Wang, who is not astonishing, is actually the guardian of Chiyou Tomb!
This was indeed beyond Zhang Ran's expectations, and he couldn't help but ask: "Since you are a magistrate, why have you fallen to your current situation again?"
"Young Master didn't expect it? I was originally a descendant of Jiuli Miao! After Chiyou was killed, my ancestor moved to Chiyou's tomb, intending to wait for an opportunity to steal Chiyou's head and strengthen the Jiuli tribe again.
However, things didn't go as planned. The ancestors protected them for hundreds of years and failed to find an opportunity to enter Chiyou's tomb..."
When Lao Wang talked about the past, the confusion on his face was even more serious.
It turned out that after Xuanyuan buried Chi You's head here, he was not relieved. He was worried that he would be resurrected from the dead, so he sent someone to suppress it with a congenital stubborn stone.
This innate stubborn stone is not simple. It is born outside the mysterious yellow of heaven and earth, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the light of sun and moon. Over time, it has long been pregnant with the Yuanling, who has made the profound Taoist Dharma.
The Jiuli people were unable to compete with him, so they could only turn to silently protect him. Fortunately, this stubborn stone spirit is pure by nature and does not make things difficult for the Jiuli people. Both sides are at peace.
However, three hundred years ago, a big monster appeared in Chiyou Tomb, who was dedicated to the will of the people. Not only did the people around him suffer, but the Jiuli people were not spared.
The stubborn stone that suppressed the tomb did not show up again...
"In my generation, only the old man is left. The last wish of strengthening the Jiuli tribe has become out of reach. What's more, Chiyou Tomb is now protected by a great demon, so why should I stay with you again?"
Old Wang smiled bitterly and continued, "In helpless, I had to escape from Skull Mountain and wandered to the big city to make a living by telling books. I only went back occasionally and took a look from a distance, but I was afraid that the fairy would find it!"
"So that's it! It's really hard for your clan. Could it be that the elders of Jiuli have not contacted you over the years?"
Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh.
Sometimes persistence has become meaningless, but being forgotten is even more terrible...
When Lao Wang heard this, he sighed: "It is said that at the beginning, there were people in the tribe who often came to see it. After the great demon appeared, the tribe elders had no choice but to come over. Now, I am afraid that I have forgotten my descendants!"
"I wonder if the elders, can you take us to Chiyou's tomb to take a look?"
Zhang Ran couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had met this person.
Otherwise, even if a few people search for another ten days and half a month, they might not be able to find out any news about Chiyou's tomb.
Although there is a big monster on Skeleton Mountain, for Li Ergou, I have to make a breakthrough.
"You actually want to go to Chiyou's tomb? Although I don't know why you are going, I still want to advise the young master not to go... It is not entirely because of rumors that it can be called Skull Mountain. I don't know how many people have been buried in it, so how can they be falsified!"
When Lao Wang heard that Zhang Ran was going to Chiyou Tomb, he hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.
"Since you don't want to go, I don't force me. Thank you for your reminder! I don't hide it from you. Although we are not from Jiuli, we came from Jiuli. Now, even though we know that Skull Mountain is in danger, we have to go. We have no choice but to do so..."
"It's not that I'm unwilling to take you there, but I'm just worried about your safety. Since you insist on going, I can lead the way. Anyway, I haven't been there for nearly a year.
You are guests of the tribe, and you are also old guests. Even if I do something for the tribe one last time, even though the elders have long forgotten me."
"In this way, it's a blessing!" Zhang Ran bowed.
After lunch, a group of people went straight to Skull Mountain.
After a while, I saw a short mountain ahead. The trees on the mountain were sparse but lush. The open space was covered with half a human-tall weeds, and there was no sign of skeleton.
It’s not worthy of its name, there must be mystery!
Zhang Ran murmured and landed the fragrance of clouds in front of the mountain.
"Boss, we really want to go in? There is a big monster here, why do you take risks for me..."
As soon as he stepped into the path up the mountain, Li Ergou felt a cold wind blowing, and couldn't help but shivered and shouted quickly.
"Ah? Is this dog a monster?"
Lao Wang suddenly heard the black dog talking and rushed behind Zhang Ran, extremely agile.
It seems that they are all instinctive reactions learned from the big monsters. Otherwise, how could he be the only one left in such a large group of Jiuli Miao Se.
"You are a monster! I just look like a dog!" Li Ergou gave Lao Wang a disgust and shouted at him a few times.
"Chang Geng, don't be rude!" Zhang Ran called out to Li Ergou and said to Lao Wang: "Don't be afraid of elders. Chang Geng is just unwilling to be a dog, and has no bad intentions..."
Zhang Ran continued to walk forward and a archway was tired of bluestone, with only some thunder patterns on it, but no trace of the handwriting appeared.
I felt a gust of wind, and a vague sound of grievance came...
Those sounds were a little far away at first, not very clear. In a flash, it seemed to be approaching, but I still couldn't hear them clearly. I just felt a whisper piercing my eardrums and drilling into my head.
It's really weird!
"Brother, have you heard any sound? It's almost noisy!" Yu Jiao Niang's expression had become very ugly, obviously she also heard it.
"You heard the grief? It's okay, if you put this in your mouth, you won't hear it."
I saw that Lao Wang picked some wild grass leaves from somewhere and handed them to them.
"Is this?" Yu Jiao Niang asked in confusion.
"I don't know what it is, I just accidentally discovered that it can block these annoying sounds." Lao Wang said with a smile, "In recent years, I have always relied on this grass leaf to avoid the big monster!"
Zhang Ran held the leaves in his mouth, which was indeed very useful.
The babbling and sorrow around them disappeared instantly!
No wonder this old man can live for so long, it makes sense...
After passing through the stone archway, he walked forward about a few hundred steps, turned over a small valley, and a steep cliff bank appeared.
Lao Wang stopped and said, "I'll send you here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a boy's voice came from the cliff: "I'll take you in here, right?"
Zhang Ran couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. He looked up and saw a boy in a blue bun, about twelve or thirteen years old, standing on a rock raised on the cliff.
There are actually other people in this Skeleton Mountain? And they are still a child...
Looking at Lao Wang again, his face has changed!
"Old Wang, this time is good! I won't cause trouble for you when I send two people at once! Go back!" The boy from Qingqian chuckled and said loudly.
When Zhang Ran heard this, he looked at Lao Wang in shock and saw him smile bitterly:
"Young Master, why do you think I can escape under the hands of the great demon?"
