042. Life and Death
The two men who claimed to be hunters sat by the fire. Zhu Lezhi brought them some dry food, added more firewood to the fire, and said, "Let's eat something first."
He never mentioned what he and his group were doing here.
The two brothers Huang Da and Huang Er were really hungry. They held the dry food in their hands and began to wolf it down. After they were full, Huang Er asked the only girl with a better attitude among the three strange people: "Girl, what are you doing in this wilderness?"
"A way." Zhu Lezhi blinked and smiled innocently.
The three of them, a girl with a chivalrous air, a young man who looked frail and delicate, and a monk holding a rosary, seemed to have nothing in common. Huang Er smiled and said casually, "So that's how it is. I heard from the old people that Huangshan Mountain used to be on a dragon vein, but later the dragon vein was broken several times and died. My brothers and I went into the mountains this time not only to hunt, but also to try our luck and see if we could find any money. We almost lost our lives. There are wild beasts in the deep mountains. Why don't we wait until daybreak and go out together?"
Qing Ling was sitting on one side. From the corner of his eye he noticed that Huang Da seemed to be hesitant to speak. He glanced at Huang Er several times with a strange look on his face.
"That won't work." Zhu Lezhi smiled and said, "But you two are both capable of escaping from the wild bear unscathed."
Huang Er’s smile froze for a moment.
Qingling thought these two people were quite interesting, because Huang Da looked panicked for a moment, but still pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Lucky, lucky." Huang Er's eyes swept across the weakest young master among the three, with a bit of inexplicable meaning, and then said: "Miss, are you here for something important? We two brothers know some boxing skills, and we can't eat the girl's food for free, so we will accompany you for a while before leaving the mountain, how about it?"
"Okay." Zhu Lezhi agreed immediately, but then changed the subject, "Now that we've come to this, brothers, let's be clear about which restaurant you want to eat at."
Huang Er said, "We are all from the same road, eating a dirt bowl. Girl, you haven't been to the fields many times, right? You don't have much energy."
Qing Ling didn't quite understand but he knew it was a term used in their profession. Miao Yuan, who was closer to him, explained in a low voice, "Two people went to the tomb."
Huang Er heard this and his eyebrows moved. "Young Master, you understand. I have never heard of a monk doing this."
"Brother, didn't you just say that you came to the mountains to check out some ideas?" Zhu Lezhi did not deny it. He swung the branch in his hand. Seeing Huang Er looking at Qingling again, he warned coldly: "This person is not someone you can touch casually. I am helping you two brothers because you are in trouble. If you want to make a fortune together, everyone will be happy. If you have any bad intentions-"
She snorted coldly, "The road is wide and wide, let's go our separate ways!"
Huang Er immediately looked away and said with a smile, "Oh, oh, this guy can't be the boss? I'm sorry, but there really isn't much good stuff in this mountain. Well, to be honest, we've lost one of the three of us here."
At this point, Huang Er's face darkened and he cursed in a low voice: "What bad luck! I didn't get anything."
According to Huang Er, they came here as a group of three, and they had a partner with a gangster named Mashan. It had long been rumored that Huangshan Ridge was extremely evil, with negative energy gathering there for a long time and terrible feng shui. But after all, it was once a dragon vein, and Mashan said that a pampered princess of a foreign race was buried in Huangshan Ridge. They searched for several days in the mountain, but did not find a lucky place, but instead found a very unlucky place, which was truly filled with evil spirits.
It's common for water to be diverted when the mountain changes. Maybe it was a good place with excellent feng shui when the burial was first done, but hundreds of years later, its feng shui has been destroyed. After all, people in this business have to seek wealth and fame at the risk of their lives. The three of them gritted their teeth and decided to start digging immediately!
The more they dug, the more they felt something was wrong. The tomb looked even older, and it had penetrated the tomb wall, and was filled with yin energy. The three of them had originally chosen to dig the tomb at noon, and it took them half an hour before they went in one by one. This time they were even more dumbfounded.
This ancient tomb has only one room, and it is not very big. It is clean and there is no burial object. There are only three broken wooden coffins. However, since they are here, tomb robbers are still thieves, and thieves will not leave empty-handed. The three decided to open the coffins first.
The coffins on both sides looked like they were burial objects, so the three of them worked together to pry the main coffin open. Unexpectedly, the lid of the burial coffin was pushed open from the inside with a bang, and two hands were raised straight up from inside.
The blue-gray skin was like copper, the veins were dark purple, and the purple nails were sharp. The three were shocked. Huang Da and Huang Er saw that the situation was not good, so they grabbed the rope and ran. When Huang Er climbed up, he looked back and saw a corpse wearing ancient Zhou armor with both hands inserted into Mashan's abdomen. He was lowering his head to bite Mashan's throat. Mashan was bleeding from the mouth and nose, and was about to die.
The two brothers were frightened out of their wits, but luckily they were agile and rushed out in a hurry, forgetting to even take their weapons with them, and they ran out crawling.
However, after running away for a few days, they got lost in the mountains. They wandered around in circles for several days before they met Zhu Lezhi and his group.
Huang Er said, "Girl, we two brothers are not trying to scare you. That place is too evil. I guess there is really nothing in Huangshanling."
He spoke sincerely, but the expressions of the three people who heard him changed. After exchanging glances, Miao Yuan couldn't help but say, "...This is a coincidence."
Huang Er: “Ah?”
Miao Yuan ignored him.
Zhu Lezhi also clapped his hands and said, "It's true! You searched everywhere but still couldn't find it. Brothers, isn't this fate? Let's take a break first. You... remember where the tomb is, right? Offer a price to show you the way, how about that?"
Huang Er touched his head, feeling a little confused.
Qingling saw Huang Er looking at Huang Da, but Huang Da frowned and avoided him. There was something interesting between the two of them.
But when Zhu Lezhi said he wanted to give money, Huang Er, who was originally reluctant, hesitated. However, the fear in his eyes did not seem fake, and it seemed that he really did not want to go back.
Zhu Lezhi immediately stood up, took out the silver notes he had exchanged at the bank from his bag, swung them for a few times, and said with a smile, "Just lead the way. You don't have to go down. Do you want to do it?"
Huang Er's eyes widened, and after a moment's thought, he nodded.
It was late at night, and no one else was busy. Only Qingling looked tired and huddled in the carriage to sleep. With Shang Changheng around, there was no need for anyone else to keep watch. Miaoyuan and Zhu Lezhi were also packing up to go to bed. Huang Er turned to Huang Da and said, "These young people really don't know how dangerous the world is. They spend the night in the mountains without even leaving anyone to keep watch. Boss, what do you think, should we..."
After a moment, Huang Da moved aside unnoticeably and said, "Forget it, it's just a matter of leading the way."
midnight.
Qingling heard someone knocking on the car window. He was not sleeping very deeply, so he pushed open the window.
Huang Dazheng was standing outside, looking a little nervous, indicating that he had something to say.
Qing Ling tiptoed out of the car, and then Miao Yuan and Zhu Lezhi opened their eyes. Miao Yuan asked, "Don't care?"
Zhu Lezhi closed his eyes again and muttered, "If anything happens to us, nothing can happen to him. Don't worry about it. Take some time to rest. I haven't recovered yet."
In the tomb of Princess Wang, Zhu Lezhi almost died of exhaustion, and in the end she didn't accomplish anything. She still feels a little depressed when she thinks about it now.
Miaoyuan thought so too.
The two of them continued to rest with peace of mind.
Huang Da took Qing Ling for a distance. He was an old hand in the world. Although the young master looked weak, he was not in charge of things. The girl seemed to ask for his opinion before doing anything. It was obvious that the young master was really the boss, but there was always an aura about him that made him feel dangerous.
Huang Da had guessed that this unknown young master was no ordinary person.
Having walked far enough, Qing Ling didn't care and strolled leisurely until Huang Da stopped. He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
The handsome young man was calm and composed, either because he was not on guard or because he was confident.
Qingling is naturally the latter.
As long as Shang Changheng is around, no one, living or dead, can touch a hair on his head.
Huang Da rubbed his hands, then gave Qing Ling a bitter smile and said in a low voice: "Little Master, I've always wanted to say... Don't, don't be afraid."
Huang Dake looked much more mature and steady than his younger brother, but at the moment he looked a little flustered.
Qing Ling thought that apart from the evil ghost with a miserable death face, he had nothing to be afraid of, so he nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Huang Da swallowed his saliva in panic and said in a low voice: "Huang Er...Huang Er died a long time ago!"
Qing Ling was startled.
Seeing Qing Ling remained silent, Huang Da hurriedly said, "Don't think I'm talking nonsense, it's true! It's true! I saw it with my own eyes, Huang Er...Huang Er died in that grave a long time ago!"
"How do you know?" Qing Ling asked.
It is not known whether Qingling believed it or not. Recalling what happened that day, Huang Da showed an extremely frightened expression.
What Huang Er said in the first half was correct. They found an ancient tomb in the mountains, but there was nothing in the tomb except three very simple coffins. The corpses in the coffins turned into corpses and jumped out. Ma Shan died at the hands of the corpses. Huang Da was close to the rope, so he climbed up the rope and ran, with Huang Er behind him.
When Huang Da just climbed to the entrance of the tunnel, he heard Huang Er's extremely miserable and terrified scream behind him. He didn't dare to look back and climbed out. Then he looked into the grave and saw that the lid of the other coffin had been opened. An even taller corpse came out from it. He stood in the tomb, holding Huang Er's ankle with one hand and holding Huang Er's terrified head with the other hand.
There was a string of bloody internal organs underneath the head.
Grabbing Huang Er's ankle, with the other hand... holding up Huang Er's terrified head.
There was a string of bloody internal organs underneath the head.
Huang Er's head was torn off alive.
Huang Da almost collapsed when he said this. He squatted on the ground, covered his head, and muttered: "He's dead, he's really dead... I saw it with my own eyes!!!"
