"It's been burned, of course it's been burned, but it's not as evil as it is today. Look at the flying ash flying on the animal's head. Isn't it haunted?"
The abnormality on the sacrificial table really surprised everyone, but it was not without explanation. Song Siyuan explained to several people: "Hot air goes up and cold air goes down. Once the fly ash comes into contact with the cold air, it will be directly pressed by the temperature difference between the upper and lower sides." When burning paper for ancestor worship at home, the piece of paper can easily stand on the meat. This is also the reason why Mr. Tang’s ancestor worship posture is larger than ordinary ancestor worship, so it is unusual and reasonable.”
While everyone was talking, Old Man Tang had stopped reciting the lyrics, and his turbid old eyes were staring ahead even though he couldn't see clearly.
Within a moment of burning incense, a thick black mist suddenly appeared on the Yungu plank road. This black mist suddenly appeared and dispersed. As long as everyone focused their attention, they could see it clearly immediately.
"Ah hahaha, the sword is still young, open the entrance to the cave!"
Before he finished speaking, the black mist was already floating around everyone against the cold wind. The dust kept lingering around him. When the black mist accumulated more and more, Yue Guanchao carefully observed the black mist in front of him. The so-called black mist was not real, it was just a deception of vision. .
They should be some kind of unknown tiny flying insects!
When the wings are spread, the huge wings vibrate back and forth, directly hiding the entire figure within the wings. This also causes most people to only see phantoms. If there are enough of them and gather together, it will be like a thick black mist that never disperses.
"Moo~moo~moo!!!"
Not long after the black mist surrounded everyone, it quickly dispersed in all directions. The muffled cry of calves came from the city gate tower. When Old Man Tang heard the sound, he hit the back of his hand several times: "Children, the calf has been summoned by the old god and is ready. It's about to enter the cave, follow it quickly, be sure to see the direction of the gray fog clearly, and be sure not to lose the calf."
Time waits for me not to miss the opportunity. Everyone walked down the tower together and began to tally up the candidates to take in and out of the cave.
Yue Guanchao looked at the crowd and said with serious eyes: "Uncle Tang, at this point you no longer need to take risks with us. After we set off, Tang Dayang will take you back to the inn first and wait for our news. As for Sun Daqiao, we will continue to follow the original plan." Our plan is to wait for them at the inn, we will leave obvious signs along the road, and when they arrive, you will lead them into the cave."
"The rest of you, follow me into Cave Mountain."
"Okay, eldest nephew, you should be careful along the way. I can delay it for as long as I can. You take the lead first. This time, you must eliminate them in the underground palace."
At this point, there was nothing to delay. Yue Guanchao untied the carriage and hitched the calf to the carriage. Song Siyuan and the others picked up the travel bags they had prepared, got into the carriage and waited for departure.
When he sat on the carriage step, he slowly untied the calf's reins. The calf raised its immature head and sniffed the air ahead. Without being struck by the whip, it muttered forward and stepped onto the Yungu Plank Road.
Sun Daqiao looked into the distance. The bullock cart rumbled forward, passing through the cave along the plank road. The cart and horses sometimes disappeared and sometimes appeared in front of him. Half an hour later, when they could no longer be seen, it meant that Yue Guanchao and the others had entered the deep cave mountain. .
"Brother Sun, depending on what I mean, is there any other purpose for going to the Soul Palace?"
When Tang Baoguan heard Sun Daqiao's words just now, he became curious and hurriedly asked what plans they had hidden in their hearts.
Sun Daqiao hurriedly hitched the carriage and said slowly: "Brother Tang, let's go back to the inn first. I'll tell you slowly on the way back."
At this moment, Tang Dayang was the only one left in the team, so he naturally took on the role of driving the cart. After they finished packing up the remains of the sacrifice, he slowly drove the cart back.
Along the way, Sun Daqiao talked about the situation of their coming from Fengtian to Xijing. With the old fortune teller's mentality, of course he would not tell the whole story. He would cover up the important things as much as possible and only focus on dangerous situations.
Tang Baoguan sighed unconsciously after listening to his words. Even if Sun Daqiao deliberately concealed the details, he could still feel the danger Yue Guanchao and the others were facing. Entering the cave mountain this time was purely a last resort. A life-and-death fight seemed inevitable. .
"Uncle Sun, if you invite those bandits, what will the merchants in the inn do?"
Tang Dayang couldn't help but be frightened when he mentioned that Sun Daqiao was going to attract bandits. He thought of the ferocious mountain bandits in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains. Even if he had never experienced them, just hearing about them gave him chills down his spine.
Sun Daqiao stroked his goatee and said calmly: "Don't worry, these people come to the Soul Palace to seek wealth. They basically have no influence after leaving Fengtian. They also know that strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes, and they will not reveal their identity as bandits easily. .”
He paused and continued: "I also mentioned in my letter that the Qinling hinterland is strict in suppressing bandits and asking them to disguise themselves to conceal their purpose. It is estimated that these people will dress up as escorts to cross the border and will not reveal their true identities easily. , they will not kill people casually unless absolutely necessary. Killing people in a place like this is bringing trouble to themselves."
