"The destination is the same, where is your village?" Su Bai asked unhurriedly.
"West, northwest..." The young Taoist said hesitantly, "I can, I can take you there!"
"No need." Su Bai turned around, "I don't trust you."
Bei Luo looked at Su Bai, hesitated a little and then went out the door: "Just leave them here? What if..."
"Don't worry, nothing happens." Su Bai said lightly: "They have already angered some big boss by doing this kind of deed in the General Temple...I'm afraid they have to stay and use it as fertilizer for this mountain. .”
Bei Luo was slightly stunned, and was about to turn around when he saw the gate of the General Temple automatically closed without wind, as if the automatic door sensed the two people's departure and automatically closed. In a glimpse, he saw a girl in a green skirt who was angry Staring endlessly at the two Taoist priests who destroyed the sculpture of the General Temple...
"That's... the mountain spirit?"
"Or call it a mountain god." Su Bai talked eloquently: "When I was bored, I saw a legend in the Natural History Society. It is said that a mountain became a spirit naturally, and an orphan who was not raised by the villagers was driven into the mountain. As a sacrifice, because of pity for the orphan, the mountain spirit took care of the child and let him go down the mountain one month later. The villagers saw him return unscathed, and respected him as the son of the mountain. The child grew up under the care of the mountain spirit and the villagers. "
"After the war broke out, the mountain was taken away by the enemy, and the young man was forced to leave his hometown. In order to regain the sacred mountain, he joined the army and fought until he became an adult. But the enemy's rebels were dying, and other generals proposed to lure the remnants into the mountain and set fire to the mountain. However, this general couldn't bear to hurt the sacred mountain, so he firmly rejected this plan, and led a small number of troops to wipe out the remnants of the local party... and finally died at the foot of the mountain. After his death, in order to commemorate his merits and virtues, the people in his hometown built a general temple in the sacred mountain, and buried his ashes under the general temple."
After Bei Luo finished listening, he turned his eyes away from the closed gate of General Temple.
"Really?"
"Who knows, the legend may not be true, but they...will definitely die." Su Bai stretched his neck: "Brother Beiluo, if you want to save that girl, why don't you help me? Let's go, my cat is sneaking."
"What?" Bei Luo didn't quite understand. He was stunned for a second before he said, "If we are traveling together, it's nothing...the destination is the same, and I can't help but confirm that the girl is safe. Go back and explain to your teacher."
"Okay, okay, with you as the front row of the meat shield, I can rest assured. As long as there are teammates, I will not suffer." Su Bai was very relieved, and he said casually: "Speaking of it, you want to rescue Who is that girl? The appointed future wife?"
"I don't know her name, and I don't have a portrait, but according to my teacher, she is a strange woman with a special temperament, and I will never forget it at the first sight." Bei Luo thought about it and said, "She looks like a girl, but she looks like a girl. It's thousands of years old."
Su Bai was slightly startled: "Isn't she wearing black clothes all the year round?"
"Yes." Bei Luo said affirmatively, "It's in black."
"Fuck!"
Chapter 48 Prison Hill
"I didn't expect this village to exist in this place. It's a bit strange." Su Bai read the sentence: "When the forest runs out of water, there is a mountain. There is a small mouth in the mountain, as if there is light. Let's abandon the boat and enter from the mouth." .Being extremely narrow at the beginning, you will be able to understand people. After walking dozens of steps, you will suddenly become enlightened..."
"A Tale of Peach Blossom Spring?" Bei Luo nodded and replied, "It is indeed somewhat similar."
"I bet fifty cents that you have no idea what kind of malice is in the sentence I just read aloud." Su Bai snickered: "Tao Yuanming would lift the coffin board and hit me on the head when he heard it."
Bei Luo thought about it, but couldn't figure out what it meant.
The two walked through the mountain road and came to a place called Laoshan Town.
The terrain here is very strange. The villages and towns are built near the mountains. The mountain front is high in the east and the cliffs are near the sea. .
Looking from a height, there are not many villages and towns here that cultivate fields. Instead, water conservancy facilities are quite developed. Dozens of boats can be seen, and willow trees are planted on both sides of the river bank. It can be seen that the main vitality here comes from rivers and lakes.
Villages and towns are not very big. In ancient times, a few hundred people could be called a village, but if you want to call it a town, you must have more than 2000 people. Therefore, most towns are located in convenient transportation locations, such as the current Laoshan Town The location can be said to be quite remote, and it is extremely difficult to be noticed. Looking at the building complex, the population can exceed a thousand people, but it is relatively rare to see.
"With such a big river, it's no wonder there is a river god." Su Bai said, "Brother Beiluo, what do you think?"
"Don't think too much, just go down and ask and you'll find out." Bei Luo didn't plan to be the next Li Yuanfang, and had no interest in investigating the case.
After going up the mountain road, you have to go down the mountain.
Going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult, Su Bai slowed down at first, but Bei Luo could keep up, then he started to speed up, Bei Luo could still keep up, and then Su Bai started to catch shrimps, Bei Luo actually kept up.
His speed doesn't seem to have reached the limit yet, and unlike Yu Mudan who relies on lightness skills, his speed is the same as Su Bai's. Using inner qi means pure physical strength.
This Gou Beiluo is simply not human...
It took the two of them half an hour to go up the mountain and only 15 minutes to go down the mountain.
Entering Laoshan Town, the first thing you see is the Taoist flag fluttering in the wind. The logo of the Taoist gate is very conspicuous. Besides that, there is a huge word "sacrifice", but you can't feel any lively atmosphere. breath.
If it was a folk sacrifice, theoretically there should be a festive atmosphere, but there is no lively and joyful atmosphere here. Instead, there is a feeling of depression watching a western movie, only two gunmen and tumbleweeds are missing.
Most of the town's residents are in a hurry, and they don't even see a woman, almost all of them are men.
Su Bai tried to ask based on his full Charm Points, but most of the passersby heard the word 'river god' and immediately changed their expressions, they stopped talking, and turned to the sides one after another, as if avoiding bad luck.
I went around in a circle, but didn't ask anything.
"Guoshan Town, it's really weird." Bei Luo was thoughtful.
"Yeah, I think it's similar to Silent Hill, or else it's a whole house of snake spirits from Resident Evil VII." Su Bai pondered: "The more big news breaks out in such a closed place, the easier it is for everyone in the town to panic. Death light."
"What should I do now? Find a place to sit for a while?"
"Since it's a town, there are always big families, so just go and visit them." Su Bai said lightly, "The big families are different from unruly people. Whether you know it or not, you can always see something tricky."
"Are you sure?"
"That's right, I have a lot of experience in surviving in a ghost house." Su Bai smiled proudly: "I like to beat the opponent's family into experience balls the most. If I don't intend to take the initiative to knock on the door, I won't open this door." There's a map."
……
When Su Bai was standing in front of the Lao family mansion in Laoshan Town, ready to perform a wonderful cover song of ghosts and animals, the door opened automatically.
"The two of you are guests from afar." The servant said politely, "Please come inside, the master invites you to come in and talk."
Su Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, and Bei Luo also looked at him.
'There is a conspiracy' written on Beiluo's face.
