Chapter 306 I saw it with my own eyes!
The three were asked to leave the house by Tietou.
Because, after listening to Lao Du's description, Tietouwa's simple smile disappeared in a second.
He realized that the walking corpse that the black-faced Taoist priest was talking about was probably, possibly, probably, perhaps...his old father, the person he loved the most...
I was begging them to keep my father's body intact and bury him in peace, but it turned out that they had just scattered the ashes.
but.
You can't say they did something wrong.
After all, as a cultivator, seeing an unknown zombie appear in the village, it is reasonable to kill it to prevent it from harming the villagers; it is also very common to chop it with one or two swords and kill it without a complete body; for the sake of prudence, it seems that there is nothing wrong with crushing its bones and scattering its ashes...
but.
I am still very sad.
With such mixed feelings, Tietou politely said "get out" several times, respectfully pushed the three people out, and then slammed the door and locked it with great enthusiasm.
The three people outside the door looked at each other.
After a while, Dulanke shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "What a coincidence."
Wang Longqi patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Why don't we go directly to Shanbei Village? I don't really need to rest anyway."
In fact, it was no problem for the two cultivators, Li Chu and Lao Du, to come all the way here, but Wang Longqi was already tired.
But Tietou’s story just now made him deeply realize a truth.
People must cherish their fathers.
…
So the three of them climbed up Black Mountain overnight.
There is a mountain path between the village where Tietou is and the village on the other side of the mountain. You only need to climb a low slope, so it doesn't take too long.
But as soon as the three of them got closer, they found something wrong.
Black Mountain lives up to its name, the soil and rocks of the entire mountain are a colorful black.
At this moment, the mountain appeared particularly tall and hazy in the night. The most noticeable thing was that the entire mountain, from top to bottom, was shrouded in a thin red mist.
The red fog was eerily blood-colored, thin but not dispersing. Even if wind blew, it would only create ripples, just like the surface of water.
Through the mist, you can vaguely see the outlines of grass, trees, mountains and rocks, hidden in them, like some ferocious monsters with bared fangs and claws.
Suddenly, a dark shadow seemed to pass by.
The roar of beasts coming from the mountains actually has the power to shock the soul.
"There's something wrong with this mountain." Dulanke warned, "My spiritual sense can't penetrate this red fog."
Li Chu had already noticed it without him saying anything, because his mind and eyes could not sense the aura of the red fog, which could block many things.
At this moment, a staggering black shadow suddenly walked out of the red fog.
The clothes were torn, the face was blurred, the body was rotten and only half of the skeleton was left, and only the human figure could be vaguely seen.
Another zombie! Although this kind of zombie looks scary, its combat power is not that strong. This one in particular looks even worse than the iron-headed kid's father, and its limbs are incomplete.
When it saw the three people, it instinctively screamed and wanted to rush over, but its legs were pierced by the Pure Yang Sword before it could get close.
boom.
Gone in the blink of an eye without leaving a trace.
The insignificant experience points made Li Chu feel calm. After reaching level 79, the experience bar expanded again. The experience points gained from killing Lord Canghai's soul last time were not even half of it, let alone such a small zombie.
"It seems that there is something strange about this red fog." Li Chu said: "The father of Tietou was also buried on this mountain. It is not accidental that he suddenly rose from the dead body."
"Do you want to go up and take a look?" Dulanke asked.
"We have to climb over this mountain."
Li Chu said this and walked over first.
“Yes.” Wang Longqi also said, “Only after crossing this mountain can you hear my father’s story.”
Before the three of them plunged into the red fog, Li Chu had already held his breath and reminded them, "This red fog is weird, it's best not to smell it."
"Yes." Du Lan Ke followed his master's orders and also practiced Qigong and held his breath. A dragon of energy instantly condensed into his nose.
For a cultivator at the Shenhe realm, a breath of true qi is long and it would only take half an hour to hold it.
But Wang Longqi was dumbfounded. He tried to hold his breath and immediately his face turned red. He asked for help: "You all know how to hold your breath, what should I do?"
Dulanke said, "Why don't you tear off a piece of your shirt, soak it in boy's urine, and use it to plug your mouth and nose."
"Boy's urine..." Wang Longqi was stunned: "This is a bit too difficult for me, how about Li Chu you try it..."
"Hmm?" Li Chu frowned: "This is not good."
"If it really doesn't work..." Lao Du blushed and said shyly: "Actually, I can help..."
"No." Wang Longqi blinked, "I mean you try to see if you can dispel this red fog. What do you think?"
Li Chu: “…”
Dulanke: “Fuck.”
Turning his head, Wang Longqi looked at Lao Du with narrowed eyes, "How come there is an unexpected gain? Hey, Lao Du, how old are you this year?"
"Early twenties."
"Twenty years and ten thousand days?"
"I am devoted to cultivation..."
"But your cultivation level is not high either."
"I don't have such worldly desires."
"Who can say something like drinking bath water?"
"Go to hell."
“…”
Just as the two of them were engaged in extreme attack and defense, Li Chu had already begun his attempt.
He held up the Pure Yang Sword and let it enter the red mist.
The sticky red mist suddenly shook and indeed dispersed slightly. It didn't look like the mist was retreating, but rather like it was hiding.
efficient.
Seeing this, Li Chu increased his spiritual power a little more, causing the Pure Yang Sword to ignite with flames.
boom--
The Pure Yang Sword suddenly burst into a brilliant red flame, and the surrounding red mist seemed to explode and suddenly retreated three feet! In an instant, a three-foot-wide empty circle was opened up.
The three of them walked into the red fog under the protection of the flame of the Pure Yang Sword.
When I just walked in, I smelled a slight fragrance in my nose, as if the red mist around me carried a strange medicinal scent, which was not only harmless but also refreshing.
After walking a few steps, another ball of raging fluorescent green flame floated out in front.
When Li Chu saw it, he exclaimed.
Lantern monster.
There is a cemetery on this black mountain, so it is not surprising that some lantern monsters appear. What is strange is that this lantern monster is actually as tall as a person, and the flames are ridiculously strong. It keeps making crackling sounds while moving. Looking closely, it seems that there are several bones burning in the lantern at any time.
The so-called "meeting an old friend in a foreign land".
Seeing this lantern monster, Li Chu swung out a friendly sword almost reflexively.
boom--
Even the mutated giant lantern monster could not withstand the ravages of a red dragon.
The experience of this lantern monster is at least ten times that of ordinary lantern monsters. Li Chu looked at the red mist around him and began to seriously consider the possibility of copying it to Shilipo...
As soon as the red dragon appeared, the red fog around it was like snow meeting boiling water. It dissipated in an instant and reflected the way down the mountain.
If the sight is good enough, you can see the outline of Shanbei Village in the dark ahead after crossing the path. The whole village is pitch black, with a dead silence and no lights.
Li Chu looked at it and had a bad feeling in his heart.
The red fog only permeated the Black Mountain area. The path they crossed over the mountain was only a very small area of the mountain, and they quickly crossed it.
Li Chu was not in the mood to explore what secrets were hidden in this mountain. He planned to solve the curse first and then come back to take a look here.
The first glance he had just taken made him feel that Shanbei Village seemed a little weird.
Sure enough, when the three of them came down the mountain and walked into Shanbei Village, they found that the village was eerily quiet.
There was not even the sound of chickens crowing, dogs barking, or livestock moving around.
Although every household in the village where Tietou Wa was just now was closed, there were still a few lights on, and it was obvious that there were people in the village.
But this village is obviously deserted.
Li Chu looked around with his mind's eyes, and sure enough, every household was empty, even the chickens, dogs, cows and sheep were gone.
Just as I was wondering, I suddenly felt a sense of "Qi" in my mind.
The location is surprisingly close.
He turned his head and heard a rustling sound over there, and suddenly a human head popped out!
"ah--"
Wang Longqi was the closest to him and screamed in fright.
The man's hair was messy, his skin was dry and brown, and the most terrifying thing was that his eye sockets were black. It was as if his eyeballs had been gouged out! Then, a neck emerged from behind the head, and then a body...
This turned out to be a living person.
"Yes... Is there anyone here?" The old blind man who suddenly appeared asked, "Who are you?"
"Father," Du Lanke replied, "We are Taoist priests from Deyun Temple in Hangzhou. We came to Shanbei Village to investigate something, but...what happened here?"
"Ah... Taoist priest..." the old blind man rushed out in a hurry, "Hurry up and save the people in the village. All the villagers have been captured and taken to the Black Mountain Sheep-Slaughtering Cave!"
"Sheep Slaughtering Cave?" Dulanke was puzzled.
"It's a big cave on the south side of Black Mountain, just below the Sheep Head Peak." The old blind man gave considerate guidance.
That diligent and responsible attitude seemed to be specially designed to guide them to complete their tasks.
Li Chu was a little surprised to hear the old blind man's confident words, so he asked, "Old man, are you sure that all the villagers have been captured there?"
"How could it be false?" the old blind man shouted, "I saw it with my own eyes!"
