Uncle Lao Gen said: "Let's find a place to stay first."
Xiaowu said: "Uncle Lao Gen, look at the inn in front of us. How about we stay there? There is usually a place to cook in that kind of place. We can make a fire to cook, so that the smoke will not escape and choke us." "
Uncle Lao Gen agreed immediately.
A few of us pushed open the broken wooden door of the inn, and just as we were about to enter, the wooden door collapsed.
I said: "It's been a long time, so be careful not to go up the roof or the stairs, and be careful of the load-bearing walls collapsing."
With a little caution, a few people unpacked their bags and were able to rest for a while, and the oxygen content here was thicker than in the tomb passage.
We sat on the floor in the lobby of the inn, and I asked Uncle Lao Gen about Guaizigou.
Uncle Gen said, "Li Shang, if I tell you about Guaizigou, don't be afraid."
I nodded.
Then Uncle Gen started talking: "After the King of Chu was destroyed, some people said that there was a treasure in the tomb of the King of Chu. If you get it, you can live forever. At that time, what King Qin Yingzheng wanted most was immortality, so he sent many alchemists to find it. As a result of this so-called treasure, several alchemists all died in a place called Luomazhuang. At that time, Qin unified the six kingdoms and was at its peak. Someone dared to kill the alchemists sent by the King of Qin. This was definitely a serious crime at that time that could implicate the nine tribes. Then the King of Qin again A small group of soldiers was sent to Luomazhuang, but the group of soldiers still died in Luomazhuang. After that, the King of Qin was furious and sent 10,000 elite soldiers to Luomazhuang to find the assassin and exterminate his clan. As a result, the 10,000 elite soldiers were captured. He died before even entering the village."
I said: "Died in Guaizigou?"
"Yeah." Uncle Lao Gen nodded, took the half-pound bottle of Jiang Xiaobai next to him and drank it all in one gulp: "This thing is pretty damn evil, you know? If you want to enter Luo Ma Village, you must pass through Guaizigou. The terrain of Guaizigou is very steep. In ancient times, it was called a line of sky. As soon as 10,000 elite soldiers entered Guaizigou, the mountains on both sides merged automatically. More than 10,000 people were squeezed to death, leaving no one alive. King Qin After learning about this matter, there was surprisingly no investigation, and the matter was ignored. I don’t know how many years later, Guaizigou was reopened, and the Luomazhuang products began to trade with the outside world. It was not until the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty that something happened Strange things..."
That's it.
Not to mention others, even I shivered because more than 10,000 people were just gone.
Uncle Lao Gen looked gloomy at this time, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat: "Li Shang, do you still want to listen?"
"Of course you have to listen, Uncle Gen. To be honest, I, Li Shang, have never believed in ghosts and monsters. Maybe King Yingzheng of Qin was already in mourning at that time and knew that Young Master Fusu could not suppress the group of eunuchs and ministers below. It’s not impossible to pave the way for Fusu in this way, please continue.”
Uncle Gen laughed and said that most people thought so at first, but it wasn't until the Yongle period that a strange thing happened.
At that time, Zhu Di wanted to move the capital to Shuntian Prefecture. At that time, most of the materials for building the palace were made of wooden sticks as wheels. They rushed all the way from Yingtian Prefecture to Shuntian Prefecture. At that time, the Ming Dynasty’s army happened to pass through Guaizigou. At that time, the Tatar tribes repeatedly committed border wars. The government treasury was empty and could not pay out food and wages, so soldiers often plundered the people.
Moving the capital was a huge drain on the treasury, so when the soldiers below saw someone coming in and out of Guaizigou, they sent a signal corps to check, and later learned that Luomazhuang was rich in food.
Later, a thousand elite soldiers tried to enter Luomazhuang through Guaizigou to seize grain. More than a thousand people entered Guaizigou and never came out again.
After dawn, the workers went into Guaizi Valley to check and saw only corpses on the ground. Everyone's pupils were dilated, as if they had seen something extraordinary.
Zhu Di heard about this and wanted to send more elite troops there, but fortunately the demon monk Yao Guangxiao stopped him, saying that Guaizigou was caused by underworld soldiers and Luomazhuang was the entrance to the underworld. After that, the two had a long talk. Early the next morning, Zhu Di went down The imperial edict ordered the capital relocation team to change their route and take a fifty-mile detour to avoid Guaizigou.
After that incident, Guaizigou disappeared mysteriously, and a mountain ridge grew up at the former site of Guaizi Valley. However, some locals rumored that it was Zhu Di who listened to Yao Guangxiao's advice and invited the Fox Fairy to suppress it, and then separated Guaizigou and Luomazhuang. It was completely buried and renamed Yehuling from then on.
In other words, the ghosts of more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty lived in Guaizigou.
I laughed and said that I still didn’t believe in this kind of ghosts and monsters.
Uncle Lao Gen didn't say anything, he just said that young people should be a little respectful.
At this time, Xiao Wu said: "I'm going to the backyard kitchen to get some food."
"San'er, you go with him." I yelled at San'er who was drinking a drink at the side.
San'er patted his butt and followed.
I asked Lao Sun if he had brought anything to keep out the cold. Lao Sun said he would take it, and then threw me a bottle of old village chief that weighed one kilogram.
To be honest, I can count the number of times I have drank alcohol in my lifetime.
However, the old village chief's body felt much warmer when he got down.
At this time, a sound like a cat's meow or a baby's cry came from the backyard.
Then there was a shout from Xiao Wu and San'er in the backyard.
problem occurs.
I dropped the wine bottle in my hand and ran towards the backyard, and Lao Sun hurriedly followed.
I went to the backyard first. There was nothing in the yard except a pool of blood. Saner and Xiaowu were both gone.
Bang——
Lao Sun kicked open the kitchen door, and inside was the meal that Xiao Wu had prepared.
The two people screamed and disappeared into thin air.
Thinking of the weird sound just now, Liu Si and the others were trembling with fright and yelling to go back.
Lao Sun was already upset, but when they shouted, he immediately became angry: "Are you kidding me? You're just yelling."
Liu Si retorted and cursed.
Lao Sun looked gloomy and raised his knife to chop Liu Si.
I said: "Old Sun, don't be impulsive."
Uncle Lao Gen also spoke at this time: "Xiao Sun, at this time, you need to calm down more and more. Liu Si and the others have grown up listening to this story, and it is normal to be afraid."
"If I hear you scold me again, I'll cut your tongue." Lao Sun pointed the tip of his knife at Liu Si.
Uncle Lao Gen continued: "But I really don't know what happened to those two young men. I haven't heard that there is anything that can eat people here."
I reminded: "Could it be the wild fox fairy? Uncle Gen, did you forget that there was blood at the entrance of the cave when we came in?"
"But the stone gate is good, even Fox Fairy can't get in, right?"
"Then what do you think is going on?" I said and suggested: "Let's do this. Lao Sun and I will go search nearby first. If you are tired, you can eat first. When you are full, we will set off together."
Liu Si and others winked at Uncle Lao Gen frequently.
Uncle Gen immediately agreed: "Just listen to Li Shang."
