"This road used to be remote, and thieves and bandits often robbed passing merchants here. After the east and west women were robbed, the remaining men and children were killed directly. After the opening scene, they were left hanging on a nearby tree, breathing blood. The leader of the caravan was even worse, lighting up sky lanterns to scare those caravans who dared to resist."
"Later on, these thieves became more and more aggressive. They even dared to intercept the family members of the county magistrate. The old men in the government office couldn't sit still. They called in officers and soldiers and started to suppress the bandits. If they caught them, they would kill each one. The bodies would be thrown directly on the roadside. If they were caught, The leader, not counting Ling Chi, has to show his head to others."
"Later, there were more and more corpses on the roadside, and no one dared to collect the corpses for the thieves. They were worried that the officers and soldiers would treat them as accomplices and tie them up. As time went by, the stench of corpses filled the sky, and evil spirits arose. Some people say they see evil spirits grabbing people and eating them, which makes people panic."
"Until one day a barefoot monk came passing by. This monk was unusual. He was a Taoist. He wore a thin monk's robe in the cold winter and walked barefoot in the knee-deep snow. His skin was rosy and his complexion was red. usual."
"After the barefoot monk wandered here all night, he found the Yamen early the next morning and said that this forest is a rare place where the underworld gathers. The souls of the people who died here are not scattered, and they are all gathered in one place. Now some of them are about to become a phenomenon. If If we leave it alone, everyone in the city may be killed."
"The gentlemen in the yamen believed such nonsense, so they shouted to the yamen to beat people out with sticks. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, 7 or 8 yamen were beaten to the ground by the thin-looking monk. In the end, the monk left He took out two round objects from his big pocket and threw them on the ground, which frightened the people present, they turned out to be two human heads!"
"These two heads are familiar to all the Yamen officials. One is the head of the ruthless bandit 'Zhuan Shanlong', and the other belongs to the bandit leader 'Xiao Xifeng'. These two heads were wiped out by the army half a year ago. , were forced to the vegetable market and executed late, and their heads were also ordered to be hung on the side of the mountain road as a warning. It is remarkable that the heads of these two people showed no signs of decay and were lifelike. "
"The barefoot monk didn't talk nonsense. He held the head in one hand and opened the chin of the 'Diamond Mountain Dragon' with the other hand. He saw half of a bloody ear inside, with jasper earrings on the ears."
"The monk said that last night he heard a strange noise in the forest. When he got closer, he happened to encounter these two evil spirits killing people. There were a total of 8 people present, and they were almost eaten clean. After a fierce battle, they finally destroyed these two evil spirits. Only the foundation of evil has taken off the head."
"Seeing this scene, the official immediately sent someone to check the place where the old monk said. After confirming that it was correct, he immediately summoned craftsmen according to what the old monk said, and built the work at the place chosen by the old monk, which was the place we just passed by. This is the most shady place on the entire road, and a pagoda was built to suppress evil spirits nearby."
"Then he collected the ownerless bones and buried them near the soul-suppressing tower. From then on, this road became much more peaceful."
"Over time, as long as there are people who died in vain or unclaimed bodies nearby, they will be brought here and buried under the tower. In this way, even if they turn into ghosts, they will be suppressed by the Soul Suppression Tower and unable to do evil."
"By the way, it is said that the old monk left the Buddha statue he carried with him in the pagoda. I don't know whether it is true or false."
The groom ended here, but Yang Xiao became alert. The groom knew too much in detail. Even if it was detailed, there was still a loophole in his words.
The groom said that people nearby would bury the owner's bones near the Soul Resurrection Tower, but let alone getting close to this ghost place, even if you pass by, you can't talk or look directly at it, so how can you dare to dig a hole and bury the body?
"This place is so evil, how dare you get close to burying corpses?" Yang Xiao pretended to be a little scared but curious.
When the groom mentioned this, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Oh, you said this, it's easy to handle, just take a mouthful of grave soil, and when you're done, leave there and spit the soil out."
Now that the steep mountain road has passed, the road in front of him is wide open, and the horseman also relaxed. He took out a red cloth bag from his arms. After opening it, he found some very finely ground soil. "That's it. Passers-by will see it on the road. Be prepared, but this smell..."
The groom was probably in his early 50s and smiled with an honest look. Yang Xiao knew what he meant. The main reason was that the grave soil didn't smell very good, otherwise he would have given some to himself and Xu Su before passing by.
The next second, the groom was stunned because Xu Su suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed some grave soil, and then gave some to Yang Xiao.
"You are..."
"It's better to be prepared." Yang Xiao smiled and put away the grave soil. This so-called soul-suppressing tower was a bit evil and had to be guarded against.
Continuing on the road, about half an hour later, the carriage finally stopped, and Yang Xiao could already hear the sound of waves lapping against the embankment.
After getting off the bus, I saw a small dock in front of me, but it was very lively with people coming and going. Except for some richly dressed merchants, most of them were coolies at the dock, carrying burlap sacks half a person high, going to and from the carriage. warehouse, and a large wooden boat docked on the shore.
A carriage without cargo could not stop here for a long time. After agreeing to meet in half an hour, the coachman left with the carriage.
Without the groom, Yang Xiao and Xu Su were much freer. "Thank you, Miss Xu. This grave soil may be useful when we return."
Xu Su nodded sheepishly, "It's all easy. I was really scared when I passed by there. Fortunately, you are here."
I believe you! Yang Xiao thought in his heart, but it showed on his face that he was flattered, and there was also a hint of pride and a little joy at having a beautiful woman throw himself into his arms. After a moment, he said seriously: "Miss Xu is serious, we are teammates, and we should help each other." !”
"Well, the feeling you give me...is different from the people I've met before." Xu Su raised his head with some embarrassment and looked into Yang Xiao's eyes. The tenderness and expectation in his eyes were like spring water, "So you You must survive. You are a newcomer. If you don’t understand anything that others don’t want to tell you, you can ask me.”
I'm coming! Right!
What a blooming white lotus, she must have realized that she is useful and does not hesitate to use a beauty trap to get her. It is best to use a divorce trick to bind herself to her and then stab others, such as herself. Nominal ally Kuang Hongyi.
Xu Su lifted her hair from her temples, looking a little embarrassed. After a long time, she mustered up the courage: "Yesterday I saw you chatting with Brother Kuang for a long time. Brother Kuang is also a good person. I can feel it, but...but I I’m just worried that you’ll be deceived. I’ve seen many newcomers like you end up being deceived and left in the script world forever.”
