Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 91

The higher you go, the lower the temperature and the more rugged the road.If it weren't for seeing the Sun God Bird, we really wouldn't have the energy to keep going!

"Yizai, is that really the Sun God Bird?" Speaking of this, Lao Yan seemed to remember that this was the first thing that Yazai mentioned, otherwise almost none of us would have recognized it.

Yazai wrapped his clothes around and nodded: "Well, I didn't expect that there would be a sun god bird! Legend has it that the sun god bird has a white body but has light. It can cover the clouds and the sun with its wings. Let me be sure of them. The sun god bird is because they pecked at the corpse. According to legend, the ancient Shu country used corpses to sacrifice to the sun god bird. The corpse must be fresh, so..."

When he said this, I remembered that the five corpses today all seemed to have passed away not long ago. Of course, the corpses that the corpse chasers chased away would not have been dead for a long time.

Lao Yan nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that we really did not make a mistake. This song "The Road to Shu" is indeed the code to find the tomb of Cancong and even the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom!"

Miss Qiu frowned and said, but Li Bai is obviously from the Tang Dynasty, and the time difference from the ancient Shu Kingdom is unknown. How could he write a poem so closely related to the ancient Shu Kingdom?

"No one can say anything about chance. Li Bai has traveled to Chengdu many times. Maybe he saw the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom by chance, or even the tomb of Cancong." Yazai said clearly: "His life is basically There are so many places that people can't figure out!"

Miss Qiu still couldn't figure it out, Lao Yan smiled and said: "The things about the ancients can't be tested now, even if there are so many archaeologists and so many evidences, no one can take a look for themselves, so the real No one knows what history is like. Take Yu Chengze as an example, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that a person could be created with a mirror.”

"That's right." Miss Qiu didn't bother anymore, she held up the flashlight and looked around: "We're almost approaching the top of the mountain."

"I've lost contact..." As soon as Ms. Qiu finished speaking, Kunbu who was beside him said something, and he seemed to be unable to understand why he lost contact.

Lao Yan glanced at him, and asked him if he could find the place where Shadow Gu lost contact last time?

He nodded and told us to follow him.

Just like that, he walked up for about a hundred meters, and then Kunbu stopped, and said with his foot that the Shadow Gu lost contact near here.

Lao Yan wandered around and said strangely that he didn't find anything wrong.

"That's not the point." I shook my head: "The point is what happened to the Shadow Gu that made it disappear? Was it discovered by the exorcist?"

I remember that Kumbu said that once the Gu worm loses contact with him, it means that the Gu worm is dead...

But it's normal around here, there shouldn't be any accidents with Gu worms, unless the exorcist found it and killed it!
Kunbu agreed with my statement with a dark face, and then said: "This corpse exorcist is not simple, he can find my Gu insects, and kill the Gu insects before I noticed it, which shows that he has also dabbled in this aspect .”

A corpse chaser can also raise Gu, which makes me feel weird!As the saying goes, every line is like a mountain. For example, most of the people who raise Gu are from southern Xinjiang. Even if other people want to learn, they are just learning superficially. For example, most of the corpses are from Xiangxi. So far, no one understands how they do it. Just a bell and a summoning banner can make the corpse follow behind them obediently.

Therefore, the one who raises Gu is the one who raises Gu, and the one who drives the corpse is the one who drives the corpse. It is hard to find people who can do both, so it's no wonder that Kumbu is also black-faced.

"What should we do now?" Yazai said dejectedly, "I followed him all night and I still lost it."

Now that the sky has gradually brightened, we have been following the clues so we are full of energy. Now that the clues are broken, we feel tired soon.Lao Yan suggested to find a place to rest first, and then find a way to see if there are any traces?
We were really tired after following the whole night, so we simply found a relatively secluded place near where Shadow Gu disappeared and could observe the road outside to rest. After eating dry food, I wrapped my sleeping bag and fell asleep.

After this sleep, he slept until almost noon, and was still kicked awake.

I sat up vigilantly, and saw Miss Qiu, who kicked me awake, made a silent gesture and pointed to the outside of the forest.

I saw a person whose clothes were similar to yesterday's exorcist, but obviously not the same.

He looked around vigilantly, and then ran all the way down the mountain.

"I'll follow him, you wait here!" Kumbu said quickly, and followed carefully.

I also want to follow up to have a look, but Lao Yan stops me, saying that daytime is no better than nighttime, and the more people there are, the easier it is to lose track.

"Where did this man come from?" I stopped thinking and asked them instead.

Lao Yan also looked puzzled, saying that this person appeared out of nowhere, obviously this person was not there when he was looking at the road last second, and suddenly appeared the next second.If it wasn't for the strong yang energy in this person, he almost thought that there was a zongzi popping out from somewhere.

"Impossible..." I asked Lao Yan to point to the place where the man came out, and then shook his head: "There are bushes all around, and this road is still a secret, if he walks through the bushes If you get out, you won't fail to find it, so where did he come from?"

Lao Yan also couldn't figure it out, and only said that he would wait for Kumbu to come back and ask about the situation.

Unexpectedly, Kumbu walked all afternoon and came back exhausted in the evening. Just as we wanted to ask him, he shook his head and pointed outside.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, I saw that the person I saw in the morning was followed by several corpses, slowly swaying back.

"Hurting corpses in broad daylight?" I was stunned.

Generally speaking, corpse chasers are nocturnal, otherwise the damage to the corpse would be too great.

Kunbu shook his head to express his puzzlement, staring outside with a pair of eyes and said in a low voice, "Look where he's going!"

This person walked extremely slowly, and he almost moved over such a short distance. By the time he got close, the sun had already set, and the surroundings were pitch black.

I stared at him walking step by step, and when I got to the place Lao Yan pointed out to me, he suddenly disappeared, and the corpses behind him also disappeared almost instantly...

I rubbed my eyes and said in disbelief, "You, did you see it?"

The rest of the people nodded solemnly. Such an unimaginable thing happened right under their noses. It is estimated that no one reacted.

"It is impossible to disappear out of thin air." After a while, Lao Yan said: "That person is a living person, as long as he is alive, he will not disappear out of thin air, and have you noticed? When he walked back, he was very slow, as if Deliberately delayed until dark, so they should be guarding us."

I thought about it for a long time and couldn't understand what was going on, so I could only ask: "Could it be that there is some mechanism there?"

"Very likely." Lao Yan's eyes lit up.

I proposed to take a look, but Lao Yan stopped me, saying that after the corpse exorcist discovered the Shadow Gu, he should have been on guard against our group, and now even if he finds the mechanism, he can't act rashly, so we'll wait.

Then he asked Kumbu, did he find anything after following the corpse driver?
Kumbun let out a sound, saying that the man was walking all the way down the mountain, and the road he was taking seemed to be a shortcut, which was not only safe but also able to get down the mountain quickly. Then the man went to the black market, touched a few corpses and came back.

"Going to the black market in broad daylight shows that they are used to doing this kind of thing." Lao Yan rubbed his chin: "It's getting more and more interesting, we'll just stay here, it's the foxes who always want to show their tails."

Having said that, it was very difficult for us to be nestled in a pile of bushes. On the first day, there was no movement at all, as if we had been dreaming the previous day.

The next morning passed and there was still no news. Miss Qiu couldn't bear her temper and asked her to go and have a look.

"In case I'm alarmed..." Lao Yan just wanted to say something when his eyes widened.We followed his line of sight, and sure enough, a living person stood there, as if suddenly emerging from the soil.

But this time it was a child, who seemed to be only six or seven years old. He stood there and looked back and forth, and then disappeared again!
