1110. Tusi King's Tomb (57) Folk Singer
"Where is the Tianci Tomb?"
When Miao Fangfei asked, Bai Fei said in vain: "The tomb given by heaven is the tomb given by God."
"I don't know much about this in western Hunan, but there is the Emperor's Tomb in Enshi, Hubei, which is also called the Tianci Tomb. Legend has it that the 'Ba Dapeng King' is buried in this tomb, which is also called the Ba Cemetery."
According to folklore, when King Ba Dapeng was buried after his death, the coffin had just stopped at the top of the mountain. Suddenly, the sky was filled with thick clouds and it began to rain heavily. There were lightning and thunder, which frightened the mourners to throw down the coffin and run to take shelter from the rain. Suddenly, at this moment, A thunderbolt fell from the sky, and people saw from a distance that the top of the mountain where the coffin was was was on fire, and the earth and rocks were cracking. After the rain stopped, people went to check and found that the coffin had been buried in red soil. A hill-like tomb was raised high, and a rainbow fell on it. Hilltop*
Therefore, Ba Cemetery is also called the God-given Tomb among the people. This is a tomb "given" by God, which is a power that humans cannot imagine. According to legend, Bagong was a certain king of the Ba Kingdom in ancient times. The person buried in the Tianci Tomb over there is Bagong. The people buried in the Tianci Tomb here may also be the blood of Ba people or chieftain Peng.
"God-sent."
Wang Yushu poked Mao Xiaole and asked curiously: "Xiaole, would you really build someone's grave?"
I have been exposed to more supernatural and supernatural things, and I have begun to believe in gods and gods. Even those who only know that thunder from the sky kills ghosts and splits zombies are not afraid of killing the corpse in the coffin when the thunderbolt strikes down from the sky. If there is any remnant soul or something like that in the corpse, there is no need to worry about it being chopped into pieces by lightning.
"Yes, you also know that ghosts and bad luck can cause thunder in the sky."
Mao Xiaole became smaller and almost choked after he poked him so carelessly. He drank a few sips of water and swallowed the potatoes, and said angrily: "How do you know that there isn't a zombie in the coffin that is more powerful than Lao Linjun? Or? What kind of dirty thing is so polluted that it can cause strange phenomena in the world?”
Ordinary people cannot see many things and call unexplained phenomena ‘gifts’. But it’s hard to say whether this thing is a gift from God. Corn shoots can raise a small mound even when they turn over. No matter what the God-given tomb they were going to was, Mao Xiaole had already raised his vigilance.
"Too heavy pollution can indeed cause strange phenomena in the sky and earth."
Yi Ling listened to the small meeting held by Bai Feibai and the others with great interest. To be honest, he mostly had instinctive talent when it came to dealing with pollution, and he naturally knew what to do. He also found these historical and humanistic allusions interesting, and occasionally added a few words: "You see, the sky is always gray along the way, and this land is affected by the power of the mountain god. The closer you get to Wuluo Mountain, the more obvious this influence becomes. ”
It was a cold day today, with a biting wind, but no rain. It has always been gray from dawn to now, and the sun has not appeared. This grayness does not seem like there are any clouds in the sky, but more like a gray fog covering the heaven and earth. The nearby mountains, forests and vegetation are not bad, and the people are also bright. Looking into the distance, everything is gray, but it doesn't seem like fog will blur the scenery. Passengers can see the distance clearly, but it has faded into a gray tone. The rolling gray mountains in the distance are like lying monsters. It is okay to only look at the front when walking with your head buried. Occasionally, take a break and look into the distance. , will be disturbed by the cold and inhuman gray.
They seemed to be walking towards a big tomb. During the first half of the journey, Lu Shucheng would occasionally leave the team to hunt a few nests of rabbits and voles, and Mao Xiaole also caused thunder to blow up two pheasants. The situation tonight is unclear, and their food reserves are limited. Everyone has a tacit understanding that everyone will do their best to collect supplies without falling behind and without affecting the schedule.
"If Tong Hege was still normal, he would definitely pick wild vegetables every time he took a break."
Lu Shucheng said, worriedly touching the green ginseng leaf on Tong Heshen's head. The ginseng leaf shook and nimbly tilted to the side. This is the biggest movement Tong Hege can do currently. Yu Hehu can at least run, jump and bark, but Tong Hege can only shake the ginseng leaves and seeds above his head, which is really worrying.
"I don't know how Brother Zhou is doing."
Seeing Tong Hege like this, Lu Shucheng felt even more unsure. After experiencing life and death together, the passengers also discovered that Lu Shucheng was actually a straightforward person. The sense of danger that was difficult to get along with when they first met may have been brought about by her own power to transform into a werewolf. She was not strict with her words and didn't speak much on the first day. Now everyone in the team basically knows that the reason why she and Tong Hege participated in this tour group is that their eldest brother named Zhou disappeared in the mountains, and the eldest brother Zhou stayed behind A letter was sent to them, warning them never to get close to Wuluo Mountain.
"So here we are."
Lu Shucheng confessed: "He must have disappeared in Wuluo Mountain. After Brother Zhou disappeared, Tong Hege kept dreaming about a mountain full of gray-purple mist, which looked like a big Wuluo. He and Brother Zhou had the same strength. Similarly, there is some feeling that Brother Zhou will not leave such a letter without a trace. "
Tong Hege was born close to mountains and wild vegetation, and the same was true for Brother Zhou in Lu Shucheng's words. It's just that most of Tong Hege specializes in herbal medicine, while Brother Zhou has a relationship with trees. It is said that when he was a child, he went out to play with his parents and met a wild Taoist priest on the road. When he saw him, he exclaimed, saying that his yang energy was strong and boiling, like The sun rises in the east, and the word "Yang" is in the name. I am afraid it is related to the sun. In the previous life, it may have been a hibiscus branch under the three-legged golden crow's claws.
Brother Zhou is indeed very connected to trees. Even if it rains or snows, he can still pick up dry firewood, and even meet some rare tree species. When he, Tong Hege and Lu Shucheng go into the mountains together, it feels like going home. Firewood There is no shortage of both vegetarian and meat dishes.
"I'm worried now whether Brother Zhou will turn into a tree man."
Lu Shucheng pulled Tong Hege's ginseng beard and said worriedly. What if Brother Zhou has turned into a tree on the roadside and they can't recognize him when they pass by? That would be too tragic.
"Fusang tree branch?"
Mao Xiaole was very interested in Brother Zhou mentioned by Lu Shucheng. After listening to her, he said directly: "If that is really a Taoist priest with yin and yang eyes, and what he said is not a lie, then he should follow him to the Taoist temple and learn some mental methods of hiding yang, releasing yang, and reversing yin and yang."
"People need to have a balance of yin and yang. Too much yin is not good, and too much yang is not good either. If his yang is so heavy that he really looks like a Fusang tree branch in his previous life, and his name still has yang in this life, then this person will probably either die suddenly at a young age, or his yang will turn into yin, and he will go from sunrise to sunset."
The Fusang tree grows in Yanggu, which is the place where the sun rises in mythology. The opposite place where the sun sets is Yuyuan. "Han Shu" says, "Outside is the South Pole Sea, the evil world Yuyuan, the vast universe, and the high mountains. ', Yuyuan is the coldest, darkest, most evil and terrifying place at dusk. If that Brother Zhou grew up like an ordinary person without any strange and special experiences, Mao Xiaole is not optimistic about his future.
Now 'Brother Zhou' is missing in Wuluo Mountain again. It is hard to say whether he was dragged down by his power. But now they all have a bleak future and a gloomy future. The eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother. From an hour ago, let alone rabbits and pheasants, there were not many dead trees on the road. The farther we walked towards Tianci Tomb, the more wild the land became. Now there is not even a piece of dead grass here. The black and red soil is exposed. It is soft to walk on it, as if it has been soaked in some liquid. When walking, you can feel the stickiness of the soles of your shoes, and there is a strange smell in the air.
The tiger ears on An Xuefeng's head moved. He seemed to hear the sound of water flowing in the distance, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. Sure enough, after walking a few miles, a wild river blocked the way forward for the travelers. The river was not too wide, about five or six meters. The river water was not turbulent. Winter was the dry season. The wild river even revealed a gully-like riverbed, with several streams gurgling past. It was not difficult to cross the river.
The difficulty was that along with the sound of the water came a buzzing sound that made people's scalps numb. A large cloud of black smoke covered the river surface, buzzing continuously. A closer look revealed that it was actually a group of black flying insects, densely packed like black clouds, flying in large pieces on the river surface. The mud on the riverbed and the riverbank was all black. A closer look revealed that there were tens of millions of black insects falling in the mud!
Where did so many flying insects come from in the middle of winter? ? Seeing this wild river like this, everyone was scared and gave up the idea of crossing the river. Yi Ling even pulled An Xuefeng's collar back and kicked his leg with his toes. An Xuefeng raised his head and gestured to the back. No one dared to speak, and everyone tacitly decided to take a detour. After walking for a while, Wang Pengpai, who was left behind, felt a little uneasy. He subconsciously looked up and broke out in a cold sweat. A group of flying insects like a black cloud gathered above his head. They were so dark and silent, just like ghosts, flying right above his head!
"Fuck!"
The flying insects were already very close. When Wang Pengpai looked up, they seemed to fall into his eyes. He was so scared that he cursed and ran away immediately. His scream made all the passengers in his group run, not daring to look. Only An Xuefeng and Lu Shucheng were skilled and courageous. They had the energy to look back while leading the team. When they saw this, their faces changed suddenly.
They saw that the wild river was like a pot of boiling water. The black flying insects were like a storm, flying behind their team, and the closest ones were already above Wang Pengpai and his team! The buzzing sound suddenly became louder. There were a few flying insects as big as human heads in the black mist-like swarm of insects. The patterns on their wings looked like bloody human faces. They looked like human heads when they flew. It was very scary. Miao Fangfei immediately took out the golden silkworm Gu and held it in her palm, but the swarm of insects just kept a distance from them, but still followed the team closely.
An Xuefeng and his team had to think of countermeasures while running. The wild river was winding and there were groups of black flying insects on the river. The swarm of insects chasing behind them was getting bigger and bigger. The frustrating buzzing sound resounded through the world, just like a giant formed by hundreds of millions of flying insects! They had limited means to deal with the swarm of insects. In the end, they actually relied on running speed to pull away some distance - these black flying insects did not fly fast, but their speed when they ran at full speed was faster than the flying insects.
Especially when An Xuefeng turned into a huge white tiger halfway through the journey, carrying the slower Baifei, Baimiao, Fangfei, Wang Yushu and others, Wang Pengpai, the old driver, directly hugged Mao Xiaole with his left hand and Tong Heshen with his right hand, Wanxiang, Chunlu, Shucheng chased An Xuefeng and ran. After running for almost an hour, they almost completely left the swarm of insects behind!
But running hard is not a solution. Although everyone is still in good physical condition, this wild river is too long. If you want to go to Tianci Tomb, you have to cross the river. The river surface is full of black flying insects. Sooner or later, they must get rid of them. If it were real flying insects, it would be fine. An Xuefeng carried solid compressed fuel with him. Most flying insects are afraid of fire, so they can burn a path with a big fire. But if they are not ordinary flying insects, but flying insects condensed by resentment pollution, it would be terrible.
Such a large number of insects is definitely not something that Mao Xiaole can sweep away with a lightning or a whip of Zero Guide.
But just when An Xuefeng and his team were at a loss, a clear bell sound suddenly rang out from the other side of the river, accompanied by a clear, loud and somewhat out-of-tune chant:
"Blow a horn to the king and the emperor, and a clear river will flow."
"The sound is loud, and the river water rises--"
Boom--
This chant was accompanied by the rumbling sound of water. The originally calm river suddenly surged, and a big wave swept down, sweeping all the black insects on the riverbed and the shore into the river! The swarm of insects that were originally flying above An Xuefeng and chasing after them suddenly became chaotic, flying towards the wild river one after another, circling densely on the roaring river like black smoke, as if performing some strange sacrificial ceremony.
An Xuefeng and his team took the opportunity to run a few steps to pull the swarm of insects further away, and then they had time to look at the other side of the river. At this glance, An Xuefeng, Wang Pengpai and Bai Feibai recognized a familiar face - the one standing on the other side of the river who had just rescued them was their teammate who had sneaked into the Baishan Sect in advance, Wei Xun!
