Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Chapter 208 Angry Clear Night in Western Hunan

Everyone was concerned about the casualties of the brothers at the foot of the mountain, and hurriedly turned around and left Pingshan. When they went to the shade of the mountain, they saw that there were indeed heavy casualties. Countless people were smashed into meat patties by boulders, and many had their heads bleeding and their bodies seriously injured. Luo Laowai, the great warlord who was running rampant in Xiangyin, was also killed on the spot and was reduced to pieces.

The giant rock with a bottle mouth fell down and rolled down the slope into a dense forest, far away from the mountain shade. In the large hole that was made on the ground, trees, rocks, human flesh and blood, as well as donkeys, horses and livestock were all mixed together in a mess. , the faces of those who were lucky enough to survive were ashen, and their expressions were dull. Even if they were slapped in the face, there would be no response.

Blind Chen felt a chill in his heart when he saw this, and said to himself: "I am really destined to die!" The situation that he had worked hard for many years seemed to have collapsed along with the Pingshan Mountain. The death and injury of hundreds of people was nothing, but the local warlords were. Now that Luo Laowai is dead, the tens of thousands of troops under him will immediately become leaderless. Xiangyin is the home of the bandits in Xiling. The serious consequences of this matter are difficult to estimate. Moreover, the three thieves from Pingshan will suffer casualties. Brother, more than once, the prestige of Changshengshan Helmsman has been ruined. If we don't steal more than a dozen large tombs, we will never recover from this incident.

As the saying goes, "You can't hide your shame even if you drink all the water in the Xiangjiang River." Blind Chen was extremely depressed, feeling that all his career and ambitions in this life had been wasted. Turning into an iceberg, thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a rush of anger, and I almost vomited blood.

His subordinates quickly helped him sit aside and advised him one after another: "Mr. Chen has learned a lot from the world. Although we have suffered a big setback this time, the foundation of Changsheng Mountain has not been shaken. There will definitely be a comeback in the future." At that time, didn't the leader always teach the young soldiers that victory or defeat should not be expected? Although Luo Shuai was in high status and died tragically, he could be regarded as a relative of Xing Tianwu. , since you are going to die, you must die for the sake of great things and fame. As long as there is no accident at the helm of Changsheng Mountain, we will keep the green hills and we will not be afraid of running out of firewood."

Blind Chen felt even more upset when he saw that his subordinates were talking nonsense without any practical words. He waved them aside and only invited Partridge Whistle to come closer. He sighed and said to him He said: "Brother, you and I are sworn brothers and we have never betrayed our loyalty. Now we are in chaos as brothers. I really don't know what to do. Only you can help me make an idea."

Partridge Whistle is a very clever person. He naturally understands the situation that Blind Man Chen is facing. I am afraid that the golden position of "the leader of the bandits in Xiling" is no longer secure. The only solution now is to make up for it and work on the green forest road. This has been done since ancient times. It's like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat, and it will never be possible to turn back.

The top priority is to stabilize the morale of the army first and prevent Luo Laowai's troops from mutinying and disintegrating. The battle for territory among the warlords is now very fierce. If the troops are not stabilized, once a large number of deserters appear, the surrounding warlords, big and small, are likely to They will take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. In that case, the Xiling group of thieves will not be able to stand in Xiangyin.

Secondly, we need to steal the Pingshan Ancient Tomb again. Now the tomb on the top of the mountain has fallen into the dense forest down the slope due to the collapse of the mountain. I don’t know if the coffins and artifacts inside have also been smashed into pieces. But if we don’t take this If an ancient tomb was emptied, Blind Chen would be even more shameless.

The partridge whistle is willing to go to the forest to rob the tomb alone, while Chen Xiazi should direct his men to gather the remaining troops, comfort the wounded soldiers, collect the dead, and send people to rush back to Xiangyin at night to find the second-ranking figure in the warlord Luo Laowai's team, and use These means allow him to serve Changsheng Mountain in order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

Chen Xiazi said: "This is a perfect strategy, but the ancient tomb is already upside down. It is too risky for the wise brother to go and rob the tomb alone. You can't do it alone. You need someone to help you."

The Partridge Post didn't want anyone else to help. Moving mountains was different from unloading mountains. It never relied on large numbers of people. For Mountain Moving Taoist, it was difficult to use it when there were many people. However, it was not easy to refuse Chen Xiazi. The last two people After discussion, only Miss Hong and Dongmanzi were allowed to go with them. If they were in danger, they could use rockets as signals, and the thieves nearby to clean up the mess would rush to help them immediately.

The red girl is a good player in the Moon Gate. She is excellent at breaking through levels and unlocking. She also has the unique skill of flying knives and arrows. Moreover, she is not as eager for success as ordinary thieves. She is a capable helper by her side. Although the caveman is as timid as a mouse, he is a local native. He is familiar with the topography of Laoxiong Ridge and all the local customs and stories. He immediately risked his life and was willing to go with Taoist Banshan to rob the tomb.

After the arrangements were made and some dry food was eaten, night fell. Partridge Whistle and Miss Hong both put on black night clothes and asked the guide Dongmanzi to drag up a "centipede hanging mountain ladder", and the three of them went their separate ways. He carried a bamboo basket on his back and put the Angry Chicken and two other roosters into it. After seeing the bright moon rising, the light was like daylight, he immediately set off.

The broken mountain rolled all the way to the bottom of the valley, crushing many trees along the way. There was blood and broken flesh everywhere. There was no flat ground available, so we had to take a roundabout way in from the forest on the other side. The moonlight that night was as clear as water, and it was also They didn't even light the lights, they all put out the lanterns and hung them on their waists, and walked through the forest. The forest was deep and quiet, and not far after turning into the mountain col, the noise of the group of thieves and corpses being collected behind them could no longer be heard. .

On the way, the three of them talked about the ancient tomb in Pingshan. Miss Hong took the opportunity to thank Partridge Whistle for saving her during the day. Partridge Whistle didn't care about it. Why bother with such a trivial matter?

The red girl said that the virtue of saving lives is not a trivial matter? Although I am temporarily sheltering in the green forest to avoid disasters, and just follow the tiller to do unscrupulous things, I dare not forget the way of life that "a small drop of water should be repaid with a spring of spring". The Taoist also killed two people during the day. Seeing that Partridge Whistle had no other helpers, she said that she would leave Changsheng Mountain from now on and follow him to fight in various places. Although her strength was weak, she would risk her life to help him regardless of safety. .

How smart is the partridge whistle to see an opportunity? Seeing what Miss Hong said, I had known that she intended to marry her, so I had to make it clear to avoid unnecessary troubles caused by emotional entanglement in the future. Although Taoist Banshan also intermarryed with outsiders, all the people in this clan Tortured by the evil curse of the ghost cave, his lifespan is very short.

Seeing that the other party's thoughts were revealed, Miss Hong felt her face heat up. Fortunately, she couldn't see clearly under the moonlight, so it was not easy for the unrelated cave barbarians to see her. So she had to say something else to distract from the topic. We don't care about success or failure, but when it comes to suffering, Moon Mountain has been at the bottom of society since ancient times, and has been oppressed and bullied. How can there be fewer artists who die short-lived than Taoist mountain movers who are cursed? Miss Hong's junior sister, Hei Yatou, lost her life at the age of sixteen. Her family of seven, including the elderly and the young, were all forced to die by the government. She can't stop crying when she talks about it.

Partridge Whistle didn’t want to talk about the harsh world, which would inevitably make people feel disheartened. He just felt that Miss Hong’s junior sister was actually called Hei Yatou. The stage names in Moon Mountain were really weird. They were all based on colors. Laoxiong Ling Yizhuang near Pingshan , it was originally a "Grandma Temple", which housed the old lady Bai. Could it be that the old Li Zi was also from Moon Mountain? No wonder he uses illusions.

It was almost midnight when I spoke, the moon was already high, the smoke was everywhere, and there was a hazy evil spirit in the dense forest. The partridge whistle made the two people stop temporarily, climbed up a big tree and looked around. After clearing the position of the huge rock in the forest, it was shrouded in a strange mist. After looking at it, I slipped down from the tree and carefully asked Dongmanzi about the terrain of the back mountain.

Dongmanzi hurriedly replied: "I'd like to teach Mr. Mo that the forest and valley behind the mountain overlap, and it's a desolate land without human habitation. The naturally occurring stalagmites and pillars around it are called Wat Rock by us cavemen. In the land of dense rock forest, there is Nuqingao, which is shaped like a flying phoenix spreading its wings. It is said that in the early years, the deepest part was the ancestral cave of the Seventy-Two Cave Yi people. Today, there seem to be some stone statues of black birds and black bears, which have been abandoned for a long time. Nowadays, the local people don’t think much of this place.” He had a preconceived impression of Partridge Whistle, and thought that this person was the “Zhalou Mohist” whom Blind Man Chen asked the old man to help rob the tomb. In addition, the local cave residents respected the carpenter very much. He is still called "Mo Master".

Partridge Whistle nodded secretly, thinking that the Pingshan Ancient Tomb used the method of hating victory, using the Yin energy of the hanging tomb to suppress the auspicious energy of the Yi people's ancestral cave. The Yuan people's way of overpowering the victory was not uncommon. After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Lianzhenjia, the general manager of Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River, once dug up the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty, smashed the bones of many emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, mixed them with the bones of pigs, dogs and livestock, buried them in a big pit, and built a " "Zhennan Pagoda" was used to suppress the Southern people's dragon spirit. This method is a typical "weariness of winning". He also thought: "I don't know if the ancestral cave of the Yi people is really famous. Look at the mist in the forest." , it is expected that it is not a peaceful place, so we must be on guard.”

Thinking of this, Miss Hong and Dong Manzi slowed down their steps and sneaked through the shadows of the trees where the moonlight could not shine. At this time, they heard crying from deep in the forest, sobbing so hard It is tragic and pitiful, like the mourning of a dead person at a funeral. It sounds so miserable in the dense forest in the middle of the night that it makes one's hair and bones rustle.

Dongmanzi knew that there was absolutely no one else in this mountain, so why were there so many cries? Could it be that the ghosts of the ancestors in the ancestral cave came out to complain at night? Thinking of this, he was so frightened that he trembled into a ball, the hairs on his scalp stood up one by one, and the soles of his feet felt as weak as cotton wool, and he was about to sit down on the ground on the spot.
