Chapter 25
When Que Rong came out of the house again, he just told Xue He that Jiang'er was probably too tired and heartbroken, and he was a child, so he would inevitably be tired and sad, so he passed out.
Xue He nodded, still thinking about the scratches on the pillar.How much anger, how much hatred, will make yourself covered in bruises.He didn't tell Mr. Xiao Lang, he hadn't figured it out yet, and he didn't want him to worry too much.
After explaining a few more words to Yang Qingfeng, the two left with Shan Ling.
When the three of them arrived at Chengyang Mountain, Xue He sensed that something was wrong with this place. The underground mountain range collapsed, and the trees at the foot of the mountain were toppled, making a mess.
Here, there may have been a formation eye, but now it seems to have been destroyed, and its power is not as good as before. Xue He doesn't need to do it at all.
Xue He hurriedly asked Shan Ling: "Is this destroyed by the mountain god?"
"Yes." Shan Ling replied obediently.
Xue He asked again: "Why do you want mountain sacrifices all of a sudden?"
Shan Ling said: "The continuous heavy rain, the city of Ye is about to be flooded."
"But what does this have to do with offering sacrifices to the mountain god?" Xue He asked suspiciously, "It's the Dragon King's job to make clouds and rain, and worship should also be worshiped by the Dragon King."
Querong didn't know much about this story, so she came over to listen.
Shan Ling said seriously: "I also heard this story from the old man in the mountain..."
According to legend, the Dragon King here formed an alliance with the mountain god.The Dragon King married his favorite dragon girl to the mountain god, and the husband and wife were harmonious and happy.
But one day, Longnu found herself getting old.The mountain god couldn't bear his wife's daily misery and washed her face with tears. He didn't know where he heard the sorcery, so he asked the mountain people to send virgins, which made the people miserable.The mountain people are in dire straits, but they have no choice but to obey the mountain god's words, so they have to send a virgin.
When it was sent to the tenth, the girl was a lucky star from heaven, the reincarnation of a fairy, and she was born with supernatural powers.She killed the mountain god and dragon girl to save all living beings, but she was also cursed for it.
The girl took her place and became the mountain god here, but she was cursed so that her lifespan was only ten years.At the end of ten years, she will age quickly to death, so a new "Dragon Girl" must be sacrificed to become the next mountain god.Otherwise, catastrophe will come.
"The ten-year period has come?" Xue He frowned, pondering a few words, "Why did you choose Xu Laisu this time?"
"Susu was born in Huozhi that year, and she is just ten years old now. She told me that a fortune teller went to her house to approve her fate, saying that she was born with a hard life and a lucky star." At this point, Shan Ling's expression gradually changed. , looking more and more sad.
Xue He still had doubts, but it was inconvenient to say so, he just said: "The truth of this story has not yet been determined, and further investigation is needed."
Que Rong was timid, "I don't know if this is true or not, but the rain is really strange. Many villagers near the river have already moved away. If the rain doesn't stop, sooner or later the city will be flooded. Ten years ago, It was also such a heavy rain that made the people of Yecheng miserable."
"Don't panic, let's go and have a look first." Xue He comforted, "It's only the rainy season now, and it may stop in a few days. There are no rumors of curses."
"En." Querong heard what he said, and her heart was still hanging.This matter was in the heavenly realm, so he shouldn't have taken care of it, but he had to save people.
Shan Ling took the two of them up the mountain together, and stopped suddenly on the mountainside.The mountainside is the most cloudy, it can't reach the sky, it can't touch the ground, and there are no birds or animals around here.
"Is it here?" Xue He stopped in his tracks, the ground in front of his eyes was in a mess, with red cloth and yellow paper everywhere.
"Well, it's this cave." Shan Ling walked up, trembling all over, his cultivation base was low, the closer he got to this side, the less strength he had, "I saw her brought here with my own eyes."
Xue He glanced at Querong, the enchantment here will interfere with mana, but he is fine.
Then he looked around, and there was a hole on his side.There was a whole row of red candles extinguished by the rain in front of the cave entrance. Xue He knelt down and picked up one at his feet. The red candle was an ordinary red candle, but the candle wax was covered with dense runes.
He picked up another one, and it was the same.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his strange expression, Querong came to him and took a look.
Xue He handed him the red candle in his hand, "Look."
The red candles, red cloth, and yellow talisman spells all over the ground, no matter how you look at the situation, you feel creepy. It's hard to imagine how scared Xu Laisu would be when he was caught here.
The rain wet everything, but it never washed away this sin.
"Shall we go in now?" Xue He asked him.
"Well, since they're all here, let's go and have a look." Querong held an umbrella, and the two continued to walk forward.
As soon as he took a few steps, he suddenly stepped on a small red rope. Two knots were tied on the red rope. It was clean and nothing was left.Xue He bent down and picked it up, "What is this?"
"It seems to be Laisu's bracelet." Querong took a closer look, "I saw her wearing it before."
The enchantment in this place is too powerful, and Shan Ling, who has been hiding aside and has been afraid to approach, suddenly rushed forward when he saw movement here, and snatched it away.Holding the red rope in both hands, he inadvertently burst into tears, "It's hers, it's hers."
Seeing his weak breath, Xue He couldn't bear to say: "You wait at the foot of the mountain, this formation is to restrict you mountain spirits. Your cultivation base is too low, you can't get closer."
Shan Ling shook his head, "No, let me in. I want to go in and meet her."
Xue He turned his head and asked Que Rong, it seemed impossible to stop Que Rong, Que Rong also nodded, and he went in together.
Holding the idea of humanity, Xue He transformed into a red talisman in his hand and handed it to Shan Ling, "Take it, this talisman can temporarily protect your heart from the interference of this formation."
Seeing this, Querong didn't say anything, but looked at Xue He a few more times, and the meaning was unclear.
Shan Ling didn't ask much, took it from him, and vaguely guessed his identity along the way.But at this moment, I was thinking in my heart, everything is fine, as long as I can go in, as long as I can see her again, then everything is fine.
After closing the umbrella, the three of them went in together.
The hole is not big, but it can accommodate three or five people walking side by side.The further you go in, the deeper it becomes.Simply, Xue He took out the golden fan in his arms, and with a flick of the fan, a ball of fire ignited on it.The fire is dim, but it can also illuminate each other around.
The three of them moved forward side by side. At the original entrance, there were only a few yellow talismans pasted up, but further inside, one by one was densely pasted, each one like a net, making people breathless.
The mountain spirit also seemed to be safe because of the amulet Xue He gave. Although it looked a little weak, it could still go in and move forward.
"I heard from the old man in the mountain that this is the Dragon Girl Cave." Shan Ling said.
Xue He was curious, "Dragon Girl Cave? Why not Mountain God Cave?"
After thinking about it, Shan Ling didn't understand it, only heard Querong said coldly: "Because, this is the altar."
It was only then that Xue He realized that those outside were fake moves, and the real altar was inside.And the real Guanshan God formation is also inside.
"Laisu was captured by the mountain god at the entrance of the cave. She must be inside." The mountain spirit swore firmly, but he didn't know where the effort came from. He insisted on walking in even though he was weak.
The closer one step is, the more powerful the formation will be.
It seems that the person who set up the formation was not the gray-robed soil bag that I saw before.How did this person set it up?The mountain gods here benefit all the people, so why set up such a cold formation to trap the mountain gods?
Xue He shook his head, there are too few clues, even if you think about these things, you can't connect to the clues.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his melancholy face, Querong couldn't help asking.
Xue He shrugged, and smiled playfully: "Xiao Langjun, are you concerned about me?"
Knowing that he can still say such words, I know that he must be fine.Querong turned her head away and ignored him, not joking with him, and went around a bend, but the scene inside left everyone dumbfounded.
Xue He also enjoyed a blessed life in the sky, he had never experienced any hardships, and he was quite shocked when he saw this situation.
I saw a half-height high platform in front of me.It was built of bluestone, and there was only a tall wooden pillar in the center. The pillar was a bit dilapidated, and there were bloodstains all over it, and the binding ropes on the ground were also soaked in blood.
"It's Susu's hijab!" Shan Ling rushed forward, trying to pick it up, but was suddenly knocked away by something, "Ah——!"
Shan Ling fell heavily to the ground, just in front of Xiao Langjun.Querong hurriedly helped him up, his white robe was already dirty from being trampled in mud and water, "Be careful, don't go near there."
"What is it?" Xue He stepped forward, cautiously probing.
There are yellow talismans on the surrounding walls, Sixiang towns all directions, but the land is trapped in the north and the south, this formation is somewhat similar to Xue Gu's formation.
Xue He opened his fan and flew to the blank place in front of him. Sure enough, the golden fan, which was always extremely sharp, was shaken back.He retracted the fan and threw it at the yellow talismans in four directions.
Also, return without success.
"This formation is not easy to break." Xue He took back the golden fan and shook it in his hand, "Don't move around here, there are many traps."
The three of them stood in the same place, not daring to move casually. After a careful look, Querong found: "There are paintings on the wall."
Xue He stopped looking around and took a closer look.At first glance, I saw the scene of purgatory on earth.
In the first mural, the house was destroyed by the flood, and people at the foot of the mountain fled in all directions.In the second picture, a group of ferocious monsters captured a girl.In the third picture, a giant dragon hovers in the sky.But the last mural was blurred by flakes of stone.
According to the development of the story, it should be the giant dragon that repelled the demons and the people were rescued.But Xue He faintly felt that something was wrong. The house collapsed by the flood must have something to do with the giant dragon.
"What happened to the fourth painting?" Xue He asked puzzled.
Shan Ling shook his head, "I've never been here either."
Querong reached out and touched his head to calm his uneasy mood, and asked, "But did you find any other clues?"
"Other clues?" Xue He thought for a while, and was about to go to the mural alone to have a look, but before he could take a step, laughter suddenly came from inside.
The laughter is bright, but very scary.
