The last Onmyoji

Chapter 172 Gouzi Ridge

That night, I chatted with Aza for a long time, but it had nothing to do with the whole mystery. The most talked about was the wizard Mengchang. In the sky of Aza, what I heard was not a wizard, let alone the helm of a ghost, he was A simple patriarch, he has been entangled between the so-called secrets and the villagers all his life.But he preferred to let the villagers go free.

Therefore, Aza and I, in fact, can be regarded as a relationship between senior brothers and sisters in strict terms. The choice at this time is that he stays like Mengchang back then, and it can even be said that he stays in exchange for After hearing the normal life of the villagers, I felt uncomfortable after hearing it. I asked myself, if I were left alone among the [-] mountains in the land of Bashu, I would definitely not be able to complete this task.

A lonely and monotonous life will drive me crazy.

Moreover, I can see Aza's longing for the outside life, he is still a person who has seen the outside life.Now when others want to be free, he has to bear what he wants most.

"I'll come back to see you." I said to Aza, and after I finished speaking, I smiled at him and said, "When I come again, I'll introduce you to a wife."

Aza blushed and didn't speak. After a while, he said: "Tomorrow, don't reveal my secret. The ghost way is not visible. Just say, it's the route I got from following those people."

I nodded.

The next day, when everything was settled, the villagers were here ready to go. I promised them that when I came back, I would take them away. After that, Aza and I started on the road. It was getting late. I'm a man of the stakes, and the opposite of gambling has gone ahead of me.

And the purpose of our departure this time, according to Aza, is that between the two places deeper in the famous mountain, between the lion hump and the human face peak, there is a place called Gouziling. Forbidden place, it doesn't mean that Mengchang didn't allow people to go there before, but that this place itself is extremely dangerous, not only there are wild beasts infested, but also ghosts are rampant.

"Do you still believe this?" I asked Aza.

"I have to believe that the most heroic warriors of our clan left together and never came back." Aza said.

"Dead?" Fatty also came up and asked.

"It should be more ominous than ominous." Aza said, looking into the depths of the mountain, and after a while he said: "Gouziling is still a day's walk away from here. I think you are in a hurry, so there is a The trail was walked by a hunter before, but that hunter can't remember clearly, and I just remember a vague route, how about I take you there?"

When I heard him say this, what I thought at the beginning was that if you can take a small path, you must definitely take a small path. Now time is more precious than anything else, but I want to be safe in my heart. I looked at my second uncle unnaturally. Still a little pale, but I don't need to ask, I know that his injury is definitely not as light as he said.

He happened to be looking at me too. There are some things that I don’t need to say at all. He understood my inquiry with just a glance, and said, “Aza, which way are those people in front going?”

"They split into two routes. One group went here, and the other group took that shortcut." Aza said.

"Since someone has been struck by thunder, let's go as well." The second uncle said.

Since the second uncle has spoken, everyone has no objections. We will set off in a team under the leadership of Aza. According to Aza, if we take a shortcut, it only takes half a day. Needless to mention the difficulty of the road ahead, Tashi is alright. Although he is thin and thin, he was also a qualified hunter before, but let me not mention my tears. The feeling of walking on the mountain road is not better than walking in the desert. Where to go, I took off my shoes, my feet were full of blisters and the socks were connected together, but I saw that they were all fine, and I was embarrassed to say anything even a ghost master.

When the sun was setting on the western mountain, Aza's face became serious. He pointed to a mountain in front of him and said, "The mountain that looks like a lion is Shituoling. I translated it based on the words of my tribe. , in the words of our people, it is U Kuqi, if you turn over it, you will see a mountain top that resembles a human face, and the one in the middle is Gouziling."

"Otherwise, you should go back first. If we just leave like this, we can get there by ourselves." I looked at Aza and said, fate seemed to be quite unfair to this young man. If we didn't mention ghosts before, it was Song Zhai's. That group of people is already quite dangerous, I really don't want to drag Aza into danger with us.

He didn't refuse, and just said goodbye to us, leaving five or six of us to head towards Lion's Hump, but I finally understood the meaning of the phrase "watching the mountain and running to the dead horse". When we arrived, it was already getting late, but we didn't even dare to turn on the lights, because people from Song Zhai had already come before us. The most advanced weapon is a dagger and machete. If we fight for a long distance, it is only the giant horn bow that the leader gave Lin Erdan when we left the village. People lying in ambush on the lion's hump are tantamount to living targets.

And there is no need to think about it at all, they have guns in their hands, and if they sweep them down with a shuttle, it is estimated that all of us will stop eating.Because of this, we walked extra cautiously, entering the mountain silently, not guarding against ghosts, but first guarding against people who might surprise us.

"Actually, what I mean is, why don't we take a break first. They have been here for a long time, but we have traveled a long distance, which means that we are waiting for work at leisure. This is a big taboo in the art of war." I said to them. Said, the most important thing is that the soles of my feet are numb now, but after a day of mountain roads, my legs feel like they are filled with lead.

"You don't understand this. Even if we rest, we can't rest here, because we haven't encountered the so-called danger that Aza said." The fat man said.

I was not happy when I heard it, and said: "Don't you still expect us to encounter some danger?"

The fat man gave me a blank look, and said: "You know shit, there will definitely be danger. You think Aza is a joker? It's really here, and you can see the tricks, but it's not right to be so calm along the way. The storm is coming Before, it was the scariest."

I think so too, we haven't experienced the danger that Aza said so far, when it will come, and in what form it will appear, this kind of speculation makes people uncomfortable.

I had nothing to say, so I could only continue on my way until I saw a person sitting on a rock halfway up the mountainside of Shangshi Hump. It is not surprising that there are other things in the place where there is no village and no store behind. If there is a person, it is probably Song Zhai's guard.

But after we lay down for a long time, that person remained motionless, so I said, "Fatty, based on your experience, is this a human-shaped stone, or a person?"

The fat man frowned, and said, "How can I understand such a black and fat man?" After he finished speaking, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at that person. My heart sank and I almost kicked it , how could the fat man be so unreliable all of a sudden?Do you think this one stone can kill that person?
The fat man said: "Fatty Master, I call it throwing stones to ask for directions, just look at it."

The stone fell not far from that person, and we could all hear the sound, but the person on the stone still didn't move at all.Now I let out a long sigh of relief, dare to love this **** is not alone?

We crawled on all fours and rushed in that direction, and OCD couldn't afford to hurt, and we couldn't tolerate the feeling of not being sure what the thing was.

As he got closer, it became clearer and clearer that this was a person, but it was a dead person.Until we walked in front of him and saw the clothes on this person, we were sure that this person had just died not long ago, his body was covered in bruises, and he still had a pistol on him, Hei San immediately unloaded the magazine, yes We said: "Not a single bullet is missing."

At this time, the fat man had already put the man down from the stone, and the corpse had already rotted slightly, so I wasn't worried about cheating, because once the corpse started to rot, there was basically no possibility of cheating, and the physical body was already in harmony with the body. Together with the soul, the six reincarnations began.

The fat man and the second uncle checked for a long time, and the more they checked, the more ugly the fat man's face became. Finally, he asked my second uncle: "Lin Baqian, tell me, this guy didn't have the slightest trauma, how did he die?"

The second uncle shook his head.

At this time, I also leaned over and asked, "What's the matter, fat man, do you also see something strange from this corpse?"

"Yes, this guy has a guy on him, and his equipment looks very professional, but he doesn't have any trauma on his body, and he certainly can't be caused by ghosts. Ghosts are powerless to hurt people, but how did he die? Suddenly sitting there Turn into daylight and ascend?" The fat man frowned.

I felt a little incomprehensible, and said: "This person is not one of us, the more they die, the better, and you are not a detective policeman, why do you care about these things?"

"Let's say you are short-sighted. They walked ahead to give us a thunderstorm. That's right. If you don't know how he died, what should we do if this happens to us?" The fat man stared. said to me.

"Actually, I don't think so." The second uncle said at this time.
