The next day, noon.
A sentry of men and horses left Luling Fortress and rushed directly to Siyin Mountain.
The leader felt quite regretful on the way, feeling that he should not have let the old man go yesterday. I'm worried that big things will be delayed because of this little accident. But when we got closer to Siyin Mountain, we no longer had time to think about these things.
Since the battle in Siyin Mountain decades ago, this place has become a place where strangers are not allowed to enter. Because there was a prince living there, Wei State explored Siyin Mountain very frequently and had rich experience.
Those who went there in the early days had trouble getting in and out, but later there were already survivors. Otherwise, this operation would not have happened.
The leader made a lot of preparations before coming. Coupled with Princess Wenzhu, an authentic disciple of Xuanxin, she was extremely confident when she set off. But when I actually entered Siyin Mountain, I found that I still wanted to keep things simple.
There was still some light outside, but it suddenly became dark as soon as we entered the mountain. We didn't walk very far, it was like late at night, and we couldn't see the road clearly without lighting a torch.
In addition to vision, the physical sensation is also obvious.
Before entering the mountain, I felt a bone-chilling chill. That kind of coldness is not pure temperature, no matter how thick the cotton-padded clothes are, it can't withstand it. When I walked into the mountain pass, I felt that my internal organs were cold, and even my blood seemed to be frozen.
"Wipe your forehead with cinnabar and chew mugwort. Don't drink wine too often. Take a small sip every half hour." The leader told his subordinates.
This is the experience gained after repeated explorations. The cold air in the Siyin Mountains can be alleviated only by carrying cinnabar mugwort and drinking strong liquor from time to time.
The warriors took action one after another, smearing their foreheads with cinnabar, putting mugwort in their mouths, and everyone took a sip of wine.
Princess Wenzhu has no use for these things, and the Yin Qi has no effect on her at all. If it is three or four feet away from the body, it will be difficult to invade at all. The Taoist robe on his body seemed to be a little special, and from time to time a dharma light flashed. A wall of air can be vaguely seen, completely isolating the Yin energy.
"Princess, is the Taoist robe you are wearing a magical weapon?" the leader asked as he walked beside him.
"Those who practice Taoism are not afraid of evil spirits, and the realm of Yuanshen can also isolate the Yin Qi." Princess Wenzhu said, "But the Taoist robe on my body is indeed not extraordinary. It was inspired by the immortal when I started."
Mentioning this past event, Princess Wenzhu felt a little proud, but also felt entangled.
This robe of hers belongs to a third-generation disciple, so it can be considered a good magical weapon. But compared with the second generation disciples and even the four elders, there is also a clear gap.
The robes of the second-generation disciples possess the power of thunder when invaded by external evil spirits. The magic weapons of the four elders can even manifest visions of holy beasts.
And she could have...
Princess Wenzhu was sentimental, while the leader's eyes twinkled.
The group continued to move forward and soon entered the depths. In addition to the yin energy being more intense, there were also some abnormalities.
The lifeless stones rolled back and forth, and the trees and flowers emitted eerie laughter.
At first, the warriors could barely keep their composure. Except for gathering involuntarily, they didn't appear too panicked. But when a warrior accidentally kicked out a skeleton in the grass, the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Ghost... ghost..." The samurai whipped out his weapon and jumped far away with a scream.
"where?"
"Everyone form an array!"
The other warriors drew their swords and formed a formation in panic, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Why panic! It's just a corpse!"
The leader was very dissatisfied and walked over to check it out. But it didn't matter when he saw it, and his back suddenly felt cold.
There was not just one corpse, there were many more in the dense grass.
While a group of people were getting nervous, the strange sounds became louder and louder. The fog in the mountains has become much denser, and there are strange shadows flickering in it.
"Something is really coming!"
The leader suddenly felt the spirit of the dead, and quickly called for people to prepare to meet the enemy.
"Don't act rashly." Princess Wenzhu quickly dissuaded her, "These ghosts in Siyin Mountain are mostly military spirits and are restrained by the Siyin ghost generals. They noticed strangers and came to monitor them. If you don't take the initiative to provoke them, you won't There will be danger.”
"But most of the people who came before never returned." The leader questioned, "Some people who escaped back also said that they saw ghosts eating people with their own eyes."
"That's because they feel threatened." Princess Wenzhu said, "You are all warriors in the army, and your aura is much stronger than normal people. The swords in your hands can hurt the soul. If there is always someone pointing the sword at you , will you never fight back?"
"This..." The leader hesitated.
"Listen to me and put away all your weapons quickly." Princess Wenzhu continued to urge.
The leader hesitated for a moment and finally ordered to put the knife away.
The warriors took back their weapons one after another, but the strange sounds were still there. But the fog was obviously lighter, and those shadows disappeared.
Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as you don't show hostility, there is no danger in Siyin Mountain?" The leader felt a little ridiculous, and he felt that the deaths of those who had been there before were unjust.
"Not entirely." Princess Wenzhu said, "They are afraid of my aura, otherwise they would at least have some contact."
"Fortunately, the princess is here." The leader glanced at Princess Wenzhu's robe.
"They are just a little scrupulous, not really afraid of me." Princess Wenzhu said, "If they enter the territory of these ghosts, they will take the initiative to attack even if they do not show hostility."
"Where is their territory?" the leader asked quickly.
"I don't know, it's my first time here too." Princess Wenzhu said, "I just hope we won't be trapped in the place where we go."
The leader said, "Yes, it doesn't matter. You can just witness the princess's grace."
Princess Wenzhu was noncommittal, but she was not in a relaxed mood.
An authentic disciple of Xuanxin Sect has the arrogance of an immortal sect, and she has killed not just one or two evil ghosts with her own hands over the years. But this Siyin Mountain is not an ordinary place. It can almost be said to be the base camp of ghosts on earth.
Ordinary ghosts are nothing to worry about, but the legendary Four Yin Ghost Generals are existences that even the sect leader is afraid of.
Amidst all kinds of weird cries and howls, the group walked for who knows how long and came to a cliff.
It was cloudy inside Siyin Mountain and there was no sunshine, so torches were lit along the way. But there was something different at this cliff. There was a strange white light coming from the abyss.
"It's right here." The leader took out the map and confirmed it again, and said excitedly, "Yes, this is it, right under the cliff."
Everyone looked at the cliff, and most of them were shrinking their necks.
The cliff is bottomless and filled with fog, and it is dark and there is no light. Even if it is a normal cliff, it is difficult to get down. What's more, this is Siyin Mountain, and no one can say what's underneath.
"You guys stay up there, I'll go down and take a look." Princess Wenzhu said.
"I will be with the princess at last." The leader requested.
This is not just talk, he really wants to go on.
Since he is willing to lead a team to Siyin Mountain, he cannot be afraid of death. In addition to the original mission, the leader also has some thoughts of his own.
Tiger tooth pendant.
With just such a thing, Zhao Ji, the God of Killing in the Wei Dynasty, was created. And his current reputation is even greater than that of his ancestors of the Wang family.
Although the Wang family is still the general now, its power and status are no longer what they used to be. Otherwise, there is no need for him to seek refuge with powerful ministers and think about rebelling and trying to follow the dragon. But if I could get that pendant, I wouldn't have to rely on anyone.
The rest of Siyin Mountain is pitch black, only there seems to be some light under the cliff. The leader became more and more convinced that it must be the light emitted by the tiger tooth pendant.
The leader turned around and said hello, and several warriors came over, took off the packages they were carrying, and each took out a roll of rope from inside. Then connect the ropes together, which seems to mean that people can go down.
"You can't get down like this." Princess Wenzhu shook her head, "The cliff here has its own mysteries, and you can't get down with ordinary methods."
Princess Wenzhu also discovered after arriving that the cliffs here were very unusual. There is special energy covering the cliff, but it is not mana or the like, but rather like some kind of entrance.
It's like, the gate of hell is closed.
"Then how to get down?" the leader asked.
Princess Wenzhu didn't know what to do, she just knew that she couldn't use normal methods. Looking at the bottom of the cliff and thinking for a long time, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
"This is my last obsession in the world. I have to give it a try no matter what." Princess Wenzhu jumped up and suddenly jumped off the cliff.
The leaders and warriors were all frightened, and many even screamed in surprise.
The figure of Princess Wenzhu quickly disappeared and disappeared into the thick fog.
"Princess Princess!
Princess!
! "
The leader shouted several times at the edge of the cliff but received no response. After hesitating for a while, he asked someone to fix the rope and wanted to explore down using the normal method.
Princess Wenzhu is bound by the world, and he is bound by the ambition in his heart. Now that I'm here, I have to take a gamble no matter what.
The leader tied the end around his waist and then lowered the rope down the cliff.
Looking down from the top of the cliff, the cliff is straight up and down. But when the body was submerged in the thick fog, it seemed to be completely suspended in the air. It was empty in front, back, left and right, and the cliff seemed to have completely disappeared.
"Pull me up!" the leader shouted in fright.
The warriors did not dare to neglect and quickly pulled him up.
But after going up, looking down, it seemed to be back to normal. When I asked the people guarding the cliff, they all said that they only saw the leader go down a short distance.
"It seems that the princess is right, there is something weird here."
The leader hesitated for a moment, then took courage and tried to climb down the cliff again.
The same feeling of emptiness all around, unable to touch the cliff. But this time the leader did not give up and continued with courage.
Just like that, it was like entering an unknown space. The only thing that made him feel safe was the rope tied around his waist.
According to the agreement, when it reaches the end, he will give it a tug and let the people above know. If the rope doesn't respond, just keep going down.
But time passes little by little, and it seems that it never reaches the end. Finally, I don’t know how long it took, and the rope suddenly stopped.
The rope reached the end, but still did not reach the bottom of the cliff.
The leader took out the prepared iron bell and threw it directly. I listened for a while, but there was no echo.
"Do we really have to jump down?" The leader hesitated, unable to make up his mind. Finally, he decided to give up and pulled the rope, signaling to the people above him to pull him up.
I pulled it twice, but there was no response.
The leader panicked a little and pulled hard twice more.
I don't know if he pulled too hard or if the person who tied the rope didn't tie it tightly.
As soon as the rope was loosened, the body fell.
Amidst the screams, the leader fell into the depths.
…
A visitor goes down a cliff to look for treasure and ties himself up with a rope. Make an appointment with a friend, pull him back when in danger. The guest was halfway down the cliff, but he couldn't see the bottom. He was afraid and wanted to pull back. The rope suddenly came off, and the guest fell down in shock. If you don't know what's wrong, you may be relaxed.
