Chapter 39 Seventeen, the horror of the ancient road

Mo Yan usually doesn't talk much, but he narrated this past event very vividly, and everyone in the room felt as if they were in the scene in his slow tone. "Your father should be better than you, right?" S was a little fascinated, and blurted out an abrupt question. "Much beyond me." Mo Yan's tone was full of admiration and admiration. "You are so capable, why does he still..." S suddenly realized that his question was a little out of place, and swallowed the second half of the sentence directly. "Only that bastard knows the answer!" Mo Yan said angrily, "If I hadn't fallen ill then..."

Compared with his older brother who was strong and healthy, Mo Yan was relatively weak when he was a child. On the day of Menghua, he developed a fever due to exhaustion. When everyone was resting and recuperating, Mo Yan's mother specially picked some medicine for him. Before he finished drinking a bowl of concoction, a man covered in purple rushed in from outside the house. After entering the door, he fell on the ground and kept rolling and undressing. After a while, he was completely naked. But after taking off his clothes, the man continued to move. What he took off was his own skin and muscles, as if he was removing his clothes, until he became a skeleton with internal organs, two hanging on the skull. His eyes were full of horror.

Mo Yan was so frightened that he even lost the bowl, and got into the quilt desperately, not daring to look at it again.Although Mo Nianfei and the others were well-informed, they couldn't help but shudder when they saw such a tragic situation. The man's appearance had been swollen and out of shape when he entered the door, and now he was bone-shattered. From his clothes and missing teeth, everyone recognized that he was the disciple in charge of the advance investigation—Chen Zihao. This Chen Zihao is most familiar with the spirit of the earth, and also has a little research on feng shui in burials. He often wanders around in the area of ​​Shu, Yunnan and Fujian to do some immoral work, and uses stolen old gold to wrap a mouthful of gold teeth.For this reason, Mo Nianfei pulled out Chen Zihao's golden teeth and hung him in the sun for three full days.

In order to make up for his mistakes, this time he took the initiative to invite Ying to investigate Zheng Maisi's burial site. Mo Nianfei saw that he was active and specialized in this field, so he agreed, but he never imagined that he would die so badly. In Chen Zihao's pocket was a very detailed map with an important location marked on it. Mo Nianfei reckoned that Zheng Maisi's burial place was there, and Chen Zihao probably fell into his old ways while visiting the tomb.Originally, there was another disciple accompanying Chen Zihao, but now that they are not together, it seems that it is more or less ominous.

Mo Nianfei immediately divided the crowd into two teams. He led the first team to the location marked on the map, and the second team stayed at the station as backup.Mo Yan's mother gave the male Gu of a pair of male and female Gu to her husband, and she stayed behind with the female Gu. An hour after the first team set off, the female gu suddenly became agitated and exploded into a puddle of sauce after a few turns.Mo Yan's mother was shocked when she saw this, knowing that her husband must be in danger, she asked Mo Yan's brother to take good care of him, and rushed to the rescue with the second team.

Mo Yan fainted out of anxiety, and when he woke up again, his brother was no longer by his side. He supported himself to call out the escape mane, and followed the scent all the way. Not long after walking, a strange smell of flesh came, and Mo Yan immediately found that the desolate ancient road was full of dead bodies lying on the side. The heads of the corpses were cut open, and the mouth was open like a skin bag. The inside of the skull was empty, and the brain had been taken out Walk.What frightened him even more was that his brother, covered in yellow and white juice, was taking a short knife and cutting off his parents' heads leisurely.

He noticed Mo Yan's appearance, and walked over with a dagger in his hand, with a friendly smile on his face.Mo Yan was frightened by this weird scene and stayed where he was, only felt his brother touch his cheek, and his whole body was immediately surrounded by a strange spirit fire.The flame didn't bring any pain, it just made him limp like melting, and he fell to the ground involuntarily. The elder brother was still smiling cordially, and the dagger in his hand slowly approached Mo Yan's head... ... Mo Yan's words stopped suddenly, and all the emotions disappeared from his eyes. He took the mouse and clicked on the email reminder on the computer screen, and a short email appeared in front of him, with the signature "Knowledge" at the end.

It was a message from Mo Yan's N93 mobile phone connected to Hui'er's computer. Everyone was listening to him raptly, and they didn't notice the email reminder at all. "It has been seven days since the mourning star broke out, the Tai Sui landed in Menghua City, the tea horse Xunlong Lord is no longer, and the horseshoe is deep outside Longqing Pass." The content of the email is a poem of Qilu, with warnings revealed between the lines, which seems to warn us of the journey of Menghua. danger. "How did Liang Ran know that we had discovered Meng Hua's secret?" I couldn't help wondering, "Could it be that he has been spying on him?"

"It's unlikely." Hui'er operated on the keyboard for a while, "The origin of the email is from Wisconsin, the United States, and there is no trace of forwarding by an agent." "He is good at observing the stars and predicting the ominous situation." Mo Yan looked at the starry sky outside the window and said, "He is thousands of miles away, so he can strategize." Why do you want to go to America?I fell into the clouds again.Mo Yan stared at the starry sky ecstatically, as if observing something, I followed his line of sight, and the Big Dipper came into view clearly.

The sky in the middle of the night was extraordinarily clear, and the twinkling stars were very clear, even the dim star that was rarely seen on weekdays appeared beside it. "The dead star suddenly appeared..." I suddenly remembered the origin of the dim star, "From the night we arrived at Dianchi Lake, this dead star appeared." The Big Dipper is originally a seven star, but there is actually an imperceptible star very close to its side, which is called "the mourning star" in the astrology.In Feng Shui theory, travel, migration, breaking ground, erecting beams, and getting married must be postponed or given up when the star of death appears suddenly, otherwise it will be dangerous.The mourning star appears for seven days in a row, and if the position of the star changes to a certain place, something important will definitely happen there, especially when your destination is there.

If we must explain it from a scientific point of view, it should be that after the distance between the dead star and the earth changed, the influence of the special magnetic field caused some changes.However, I am afraid that only masters like Dongfang Shuo and Yuan Tiangang can explain the root of it. After checking and confirming the position on the map, the location of the lost star is indeed as stated by Qingming. According to the analysis and comparison of the previous emails, this email should be sent by Qingming.Now it seems that the trip to Menghua is indeed dangerous, let alone the warning of the death of stars, the death of a group of masters on the ancient road thirty years ago is enough to make people stop. Mo Yan looked at everyone inquiringly, seeing that we didn't respond, he picked up his mobile phone and started packing his backpack without saying a word. "Put this sword in your bag, I can't carry it on the road." What S handed Mo Yan was the Xingtian Hunting Sword. "Yifan, I put my computer in your bag." Hui'er put the computer away and stuffed it into my backpack, "It's hard to put the shotgun when it's stuck." Mo Yan took the bronze sword and looked at us in surprise, with a hint of emotion in his eyes. "Meng Hua will definitely go together, but we must make a statement in advance." I said seriously. "Tell me." Mo Yan replied solemnly. "Go to bed after tidying up, don't get up early tomorrow." I beat my lower back and smiled bitterly, "We are not made of iron." "I'm not..." A look of astonishment flashed across his face, and then Mo Yan showed a rare smile. ... Menghua County is now called Weishan Yi and Hui Autonomous County, but most people still call it Menghua, perhaps because of a hard-to-pronounce or long-standing habit.This is the transportation hub of the "three ins and three outs" of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. It was also a prosperous town connecting Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet, India, Burma and Southeast Asian trade. This is where the Mengshi dynasty of Nanzhao originated, but Menghua City, the ancient capital of the four generations, is full of modern business and tourism atmosphere except for the ancient buildings. Compared with Mo Yan, Lao Tian is more familiar with the environment of Menghua, Nanzhao Ancient Street all the way to the end, resting his feet and taking accommodation, all the complicated things are solved in his cheerful greeting. "Candied fruit, shredded pork bait, green bean cake, crispy rice jelly, assorted pickles..." S muttered as he counted the spoils, the large package of food looked extremely exaggerated. "Is this food heavier than copper swords?" I joked with a smile. Mo Yan weighed the food bag, then the bronze sword, and nodded with certainty. Everyone laughed, and S said with a bluff, "It won't be heavy after eating, and you can't eat copper swords." This remark made us laugh out loud again. S was embarrassed by the laugh, turned around and opened the window to look at the scenery by himself. According to what Mo Yan said before, the location of the massacre thirty years ago was at Longqing Pass in the east of the city, and this place was also mentioned in the clear email.With so few clues, we decided to start there. "Lao Tian, ​​is the ancient city of Menghua a building from the Ming and Qing Dynasties?" S Zhang looked and asked. "That's right, all the buildings left in this ancient city are from the Ming and Qing dynasties." Lao Tian pointed to the buildings outside the window, "Twenty-five streets and eighteen alleys are intertwined like a chessboard." "It's a chessboard-style city in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, let me say." S stretched his waist and said, "My former professor of architectural history liked this kind of well-shaped structure." "Hehe, most of the buildings here are built by the Bai people." Lao Tian smiled, "Three squares and one screen wall, four in five courtyards, it's nothing like a chessboard." As soon as these words came out, Mo Yan and I were stunned for a moment. The chessboard city of Ming and Qing Dynasties and the characteristic buildings of the Bai nationality are all very common things, but they have special meanings to us who are looking for dragon veins. "Old Tian is indeed right." Mo Yan pointed to the introduction in the travel brochure. I took out the map of Menghua City, and I checked it carefully. The clear pattern setting is exactly in line with our expectations.And when Hui'er found the panoramic picture of "three squares and one screen wall, four in one and five courtyards.", Mo Yan and I couldn't help feeling happy and worried. The pattern of courtyards in the folk houses here is mostly four-house doors plus front and rear courtyard doors. When closed, the three-square door opens wide, which is the number of nine yangs.The five heavenly wells have earth qi soaring to the sky, separated and guided by the screen wall of the central channel, and are numbered as six yin, forming the "six yin endogenous" of the earth channel yin and moistening things.This is exactly one of the double bureaus of the Wolong Department in Yinlong's overall situation - the Jiuyang Six Qi Bureau. But the vitality of this game has been completely destroyed by the chessboard-like city layout. Twenty-five streets and eighteen alleys can barely separate the well-arranged architectural layout, but the positions of several main streets are just right. Crossing the eye of the Nine Suns and Six Qi Bureau, there is no trace of the direction of the whole situation. "According to what you're saying, Meng Hua used to be part of the Yinlong game?" S said with wide eyes, "Then there should be another game nearby." "According to the location pattern here, the other game that exists side by side should be at Longqing Pass." I pointed to the map and said, "Niaodao Xiongguan is famous, and now it seems that it is because of the relationship between this game." "Thousands of birds entered the pass and killed themselves by crashing into the mountain." Mo Yan nodded and said, "The fog inside the pass has always been strange." The unexpected discovery coincided with our original plan. After the discussion, everyone packed up their equipment and took a rest, preparing to visit this mysterious Longqing Pass when night fell. At nightfall, a group of people came to Wenfeng Mountain, 20 kilometers east of the city. The mountain pass looming among the majestic and winding mountains was Longqing Pass.The mountain wind passed by, and thick fog appeared around us like a ghost. After a while, the visibility had dropped to five meters. "Damn, what the hell is this weather?" S was taken aback by the sudden fog, "Is someone playing tricks?" "The reason why so many birds commit suicide at Longqing Pass is because of the fog." I smiled and passed the rope, "Wear it around your waist, so everyone don't get separated." Mo Yan's keen sense of smell and my ability to listen to the wind and distinguish the position made the travel in the mist much smoother, but even so, the speed was not very fast. Foggy. On one side of the mountain pass is the towering Wenfeng Mountain, and the Hengduan Mountains are endless in the distance. When I listened quietly, the overall terrain of the nearby mountains came to my mind. The surrounding mountain pass forms a crescent-shaped terrain on the continuous mountain range, and the mountain is full of cloudy earth energy. If the cathode leylines were not connected, there would not be so much earth energy here.The earth's air begins to flow in and out at night, and with the crescent-shaped pattern, it is connected with the moon's air in the sky. The cloudy moon and the earth's air are mixed together to make the earth's air here extremely feminine, which is similar to the nine suns and six in Menghua City. The atmosphere cannot be coordinated at all, and it can even be said to be completely in conflict! "Why is it the Yinyue Earth Qi Bureau?!" I lost my voice, "The Earth Qi here is also very fast." "Something is wrong." Mo Yan's nose twitched twice, "There is a beast smell in the earth's air." "What nonsense? You two speak clearly." The three people on the side were confused, and S shouted impatiently. "The guy who made the layout did something wrong. This is the part of the camouflage." I signaled everyone to go down the mountain to avoid any surprises. "Judging from this situation, there must be some special breed nearby." Mo Yan and Lao Tian quickly tied a roll of rope, and dropped it on one side of the mountain pass, and everyone slid down along the rope. Lao Tian and I were the last to go down the mountain. Just halfway through the slide, there was a burst of fierce wings beating, and a large group of birds suddenly appeared in the mist, vying to be the first to attack us.Unable to dodge in mid-air, I had to use metal plates to protect Lao Tian and me in a hurry.Puffing sounds sounded one after another, feathers fell all over the sky, and all the birds crashed to death on the rocks of the mountain pass, and the smell of bird blood permeated the air for a while. Frightened, we accelerated our descent until we stepped on the thick soil before we breathed a sigh of relief. There were many dead birds on the ground, and a few birds that hadn't breathed out fluttered their wings and wanted to stand up, their twisted necks swayed, and the painful struggle accelerated their death.Although this scene was far less weird than the ones I encountered before, I couldn't help but tremble a little. "I don't know how many birds die every year." Lao Tian looked at the bird carcasses on the ground and frowned, "Why did the game you mentioned let the birds hit the mountain? What's in the mountain?" "The fog caused by the earth's atmosphere will affect the ability of birds to distinguish when they fly." I replied casually, but Huier, S and Mo Yan were nowhere to be seen. "Why are Brother Mo and the two girls missing?" Lao Tian also discovered the disappearance of the three of them. The distance between each other is only ten minutes. Normally, they would not walk away casually. I faintly felt that something was wrong. When I was about to search, there was a sound of flames flickering in the mountain pass.It's Mo Yan!I told Lao Tian to follow closely, and ran to the location where the sound came from. Turning into the mountain pass, a large flame flashed in the mist, Mo Yan drew out a series of spiritual fires with both hands, and quickly attacked the dark mountain pass.Hui'er and S collapsed near Mo Yan, their bodies covered with sticky liquid.I hurried forward to investigate and found that the two were just unconscious, but fortunately they were not injured. "It happened..." Before I could ask the question, Mo Yan's spiritual fire surged violently, and in the flash, a long body flashed across the mountain pass, which looked a bit like a ghost in a tiankeng. Mao Long. "Put some sharp blades around!" Mo Yan faced the mountain pass, smelling the scent carefully, "Three feet long, the sharpest ones." Lao Tian helped me carry Hui'er and S to the place where Mo Yan was standing, and I planted hundreds of three-foot-long sharp knives around them.Mo Yan remained motionless facing the depths of the mountain pass, the spiritual fire in his hand kept shrinking, showing the current appearance of a formidable enemy. At this moment, there was no sound around, and a gust of mountain wind blew slowly from the peaceful mountain pass, and the fog that had gradually thinned under the agitation of the mountain wind became thicker again.An imperceptible sound came from the stone wall of the mountain pass. Mo Yan's nose twitched a few times, and the spiritual fire suddenly rose, and the long tongue of fire shot straight at the stone wall while raising his hand. The moment the flames passed by, a pink snake as thick as an arm appeared two meters in front of us.That thing deftly avoided the attack of the spirit fire, but accidentally touched the sharp blade I laid down, and the sharp edge scratched on it and made a strange creaking sound.Mo Yan shot a string of fireballs right in the middle of the thing, and the twisting snake-like thing quickly fled back. "It suffered a loss and won't attack for the time being." Mo Yan sniffed the smell in the air, "There are a lot of things to eat." "What's that?" I found that I couldn't hear the thing's traces, and I couldn't even catch its movements. "This thing can't be an evil dragon, can it?" Lao Tian said in disbelief, "In ancient times in Menghua, it was said that there were evil dragons and phoenixes in the mountains, so they dare not come to the mountain pass at night." "What you said is absolutely correct." Mo Yan looked at Lao Tian with regret in his tone, "No wonder Meng Hua's alias is Xielong."
