Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 151 Changbai Mountain Ghost King Tomb (5)
The leader smiled and said: Don't be nervous, the blood in its mouth is not blood, but chicken blood.While talking, I opened the iron door, and I hurried out, and the old sheep also came out.

I said: sheep are not omnivores, how can they eat chickens?

The group leader said: "Because this is not an ordinary goat. It used to be a dark wizard's mount, but it was trapped in a cave. Even if it is a goat, it will not be picky when it is very hungry. There are pheasants passing by. Naturally, snake-like animals will not be let go. When I came, I saw a pheasant go into this hole with my own eyes, but you were contemplating at that time, so you didn't notice it.

I blushed and said: As long as it's not human blood.

The team leader said: Get ready, I'll take you to a place.

I smiled and said: Do you still need to prepare, I have nothing.

The leader said: Look at your backpack, and then say this sentence.

I didn't look at my package carefully during this journey. Hearing what the team leader said, I immediately took out the package and looked it up carefully, but I didn't find anything. I said inexplicably, "Is there something in it?"

The team leader took out an ice ax and said, "Didn't you realize that this ice ax is very long?"After finishing speaking, he pulled hard, and in the middle of the ice ax was a long knife gleaming with silver light, which was He Zhuang's previous side weapon.

This is the most mysterious artifact. It is said that Prince Long died under this knife, but is it really the secret? The "Blood Curse Knife" glowed faintly red, and it looked ominous at first glance. I said: "Commander, why is this knife in your hand?"
The leader said: Of course He Zhuang gave it to me, why did you suddenly become stupid?
I nodded and said: There is an identical knife in the deep well of the Holy Land of the Heavenly Spirit Clan, and the Peacock Spirit King is guarding that knife.

The team leader said: "That's a fake knife. The blood-cursed knife is the only weapon that can kill dragons. It is an evil thing that has been cursed in the world. It is the one in your hand. As for the reason why I gave it to you." It's very simple, because it belonged to your family. The yin and yang scholar used this knife to assassinate Prince Long and became the king of ghosts. Only the He family can control this weapon in the world.

I said: Do you want me to use this long knife again?

The group leader said: That's right, you must master this knife. It will benefit you in the future. Your cousin can't use this long knife completely, but you are different. People from the He family use He's Once the knife understands the truth, you will not be inferior to any warrior of the Celestial Race.

I dug out another piece of deerskin from the bag, which was what He Zhuang used to wrap the knife. I wrapped the knife and stuck it behind my back and said: What should I do next?
The leader said: There is a group of dark wizards here, they rely on killing to improve their abilities, fortunately these people think we are the same as them, so they didn't kill.

I said: But didn’t that old man lock us up in the cave because he wanted us to die?

The leader said: They are two factions, but they are a family. The two brothers led their families to fly solo for the sake of benefit, so they have different opinions on different families. The boss wants to kill me , but the second child treats me as a friend, this is the fundamental reason why you can come out.

Speaking of which, the old goat coughed, and his voice was old, like a human being. I felt that this kind of creature would not dare to provoke it even if it had already matured. It walked around to the head of the group, and the head said: "Let's go, then The family is still waiting for us to eat.

After we walked a long way, the old sheep still looked at us motionless. After walking a long way until deep in the snow field, we saw a row of wooden houses forming a circle, and a group of residents who looked like aboriginal people were sitting in the courtyard. They are busy with each other, and they don't see a trace of abnormality, let alone the most evil dark wizard among human beings.

When we approached, one of the middle-aged women in her 40s nodded to the leader, turned around and walked inside, the leader followed her, and after a while, she reached the innermost black wooden room, and she knocked on the door Said: Grandpa, that man is back.

After a while, an old voice came out and said: Let them in.

When we entered this room, the temperature inside suddenly rose, and the sweat on my forehead immediately oozed out. I saw that the small room was full of weird objects, none of which I had seen on the market. Among them, there are two bronze vessels with human faces and animal bodies that are quite eye-catching, which are at the head and end of his bed.

An old man sat on the head of the bed and closed his eyes slightly. His facial features were not much different from the one we met before. At first glance, he thought it was the same person. The team leader said, "Grandpa Fang, I'm back again."

The old man moved his head slightly, he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, and said: This is your friend?Much younger than you.

The team leader said: We are Wangnian friends. To put it bluntly, he used to be my subordinate.

The old man let out a cry, and after a long time I even thought he was asleep, but then he sighed and said: You have come all the way to Tianchi to try to assassinate Shenlong, aren't you afraid of retribution?

The head of the group said: "If you are afraid of retribution, you will not practice evil methods, but grandpa, we really have no plans to stab the dragon."

The old man said: I don't care why you came here, even if it's to assassinate the real dragon, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to tell you that this is not a place where foreigners can easily enter. I can let you in, and I can also let you die. So you better stay out of trouble.

The old man actually threatened us, but I knew from his appearance that he was not an easy character to mess with. The team leader said: Don't worry, we will leave after we finish our business.

He seemed very satisfied with the group leader's words, nodded and said: "Since everyone is in the same direction, this is your resting place. If you need our help, just ask."

The head of the group said: Don't dare to bother the old man, we will leave after finishing the matter in these two days.

The old man nodded and waved to us. The head of the group gave me a wink and walked out of the house. Two strong men were waiting outside the door and led us to another wooden house. I whispered on the way. Asked: Captain, that sheep is really weird, I think it is necessary to investigate.

The head of the group didn't speak, and a man said to me: I advise you not to provoke that thing, that old sheep has become a spirit, I don't know who got it here at the beginning, there are no grasses and plants on the snow mountain, so it just eats and buries it. The corpse in the soil has become what it is now after more than ten years of eating. If you are stared at by it, it means that it really wants to eat you.

I felt a chill in my heart and said: Is there such a strange goat?

The man said: "We have a lot of strange things here, this sheep is nothing."

At this moment, another man said coldly: You should keep your mouth shut and spit out what you should say and what should not be said.

The person who spoke earlier seemed to be very afraid of him, but he didn't say a word after that. When he reached the door of the wooden house, the man said: This is the room where grandpa gave you to rest. Don't run around if you have nothing to do. There are many dogs here, be careful of being bitten.

The wooden house was clean, with a scent of sandalwood, and the bed was a wooden single bunk bed. The leader said: I didn't expect to find a place to stay, but people of this ethnic group are very evil, try not to talk, If you have something to say, you have to go out and say it.

I saw that the leader said solemnly, nodded and didn't say a word since that moment, and the leader was the same. In the early morning of the next day, after getting up, the leader picked up his bag and said: Let's go to Tianchi.

Going west until the afternoon, we came to a section of the mountain fault, but the drop is not high, only about three meters, and it is a slope. Not far away, there are rippling blue waves, and a large emerald-like lake appears in our eyelids. It is the highest freshwater lake - Tianchi.

There are many legends about Tianchi, and most of them are about Tianchi water monsters. I didn’t know if there were any water monsters in Tianchi before, but after field investigation, I think the possibility is relatively high, because the environment here is very quiet and inaccessible, suitable for large creatures growth, and there is a group of dark wizards around, God knows if these monsters are related to them.

But we watched it condescendingly for a long time, the water surface was as smooth as a mirror, not to mention the dragon, I didn't see a single fish, I said: "Head, if there is a dragon here, then she is too quiet, I don't think it is reliable."

The team leader said: If you think it is reliable, do you still need to look for it?As soon as I said this, the leader's face changed, and he immediately pressed my head and pressed me to the ground. I saw a ripple in the water on the left side of Tianchi, and then the ripple became longer and longer. There must be creatures swimming in the water again. , and judging from the size of the ripples, this thing is not small.

Could it be a dragon?The head of the group took out two binoculars from his backpack and handed one to me. With this thing, I could see it much more clearly. The ripples approached the shore, and then the water splashed up. I saw a huge and vicious dog sticking out of the water. It turned out to be a Gu dog. Although this thing is more fierce than a Gu cat, it doesn’t have the brains of a cat, and if you have the skills to be a Gu dog, it’s better to be a Gu wolf, or even a more ferocious creature, but I heard The team leader said that the reason why cats have the highest probability of doing Gu is because cats have no sound when they move, and the probability of a sudden attack is high. Although jackals, tigers and leopards are ferocious, it is not ordinary people who have the opportunity to face such creatures, and using them may not be effective. It's good to have a cat, let alone a dog, so I've only seen a Gu dog so far, that is the witch on the shoe mountain.

After a while, the dog landed on the shore. It was really not small, almost the size of a buffalo, with thick limbs. It is estimated that even an adult lion may not be its opponent. It raised its head and let out a muffled growl. The sound was like thunder. , I whispered: It won't be noticed by it so far away?
As soon as the words fell, three people came out from behind a huge stone, one of them was the old man who imprisoned us, but today he did not ride the Gu cat, but leaned on a walking stick, the dog saw him very Lowering his head tamely, the old man walked around the dog, poked the dog's stomach with his crutches, and without speaking, turned around and stared blankly at Tianchi for a long time.

After a long time, the old man opened his mouth and said a few words to those two people, because the distance was too far, we couldn't hear them, then he clapped his palms, and the huge Gu cat came out from behind the boulder and fell on the ground with all four limbs, waiting After the old man sat up, he walked slowly into the depths of the woods, and the dog followed him all the way.

And those two young men took out a huge clay vat, the mouth of the vat was sealed with mud, and one of them took out an iron rod and knocked the sealed mud open, and suddenly a stench filled the world, even here we can smell it. When I smelled it, I quickly covered my nose and said: "It stinks, aren't they going to fertilize it?"

I saw the two men carry the earthen vat to the bank of the water with sad faces, then dumped all the thick rice porridge inside into the Tianchi Lake, then quickly left the bank and returned to the back of the boulder. I knew they would definitely do this Not dumping garbage, but why exactly?

The head of the group lowered his voice and said: If I'm not mistaken, they are making bait to lure some kind of aquatic life.

I said: Is it a dragon?But would a dragon eat such a stinking thing?
The group leader said: You and I don't have a clear concept of dragons, maybe the food they eat is very weird.

That being said, the dragon never showed up. After a long time, the two seemed to be unable to bear their temper and came out from behind the rocks. They walked carefully to the water bank and looked around, throwing a few more pieces into the water. Stone, one of them shook his head and said something, and the two turned and walked deep into the snow.

When they were gone, the group leader and I stood up from the snow, and the group leader said: Let's go and have a look.

Walking to the Tianchi, everything has not changed at all, the world is so quiet that there is not even a breath of wind, I said: It seems that this dragon will not show its face at least today.

The group leader said: Don't say anything too early, there are still several hours until tomorrow.

At this time, it was evening, and the distance could not be seen very clearly. I said, "We can't spend the night here. If we don't bring anything, we must freeze to death."

The head of the group said: Let's go around and talk again. We can't just lie in the snow for half a day once we come here. We have to do something meaningful.

After all, I took me to the west. After walking for about half an hour, the sky was completely dark, and the moon was high in the sky, but it was not too dark. At this time, I vaguely saw the strange willow tree in the distance. Just as I was about to ask the head of the group, I suddenly saw five objects similar to small tents on the bank of Tianchi Lake, but round, with a distance of about seven or eight meters between each.

I pointed to those things and said: Captain, what are those things.

The head of the group said: "Go over and have a look."

After finishing speaking, he took me to the side of the weird decorations, observed carefully for a while, and said, "I'm going to uncover these things. If there is any danger, don't worry about me and go back quickly."

I said: Head, let's think carefully before doing this, there is no need to cause unnecessary sacrifices.

The head of the group ignored me, walked directly to a "tent", and opened it with his hand. Before I had time to worry, I saw a strange phenomenon appearing in my eyes. There was no mechanism design in the small tent. There is only a pile of white bones, and the bones are neatly stacked into a pyramid shape. At the top is a huge cat skull, which should be the skull of a Gu cat. The team leader uncovered all the tents, and they are all exactly the same." Pyramid of Bones", except that some are dog bones and some seem to be bear bones.

I said: Is this the cemetery where those dark wizards buried their pets?

The leader said: "The situation here must be related to the dark wizards. I guess it might be a place where they held some kind of ceremony. I think we need to find out what this group of ghosts are doing."

I said: I'm afraid these people are not so easy to monitor. If they are discovered, the consequences will be unpredictable.

The head of the group said: "You boy, why have you become so timid? You are a descendant of a yin and yang scholar. Don't discredit him as an old man."

I laughed and said: The most powerful dark wizard in the world is probably not as good as half a finger of a yin and yang scholar, but I can't do it. People have to be convinced, otherwise they will suffer a lot.

The group leader patted me on the shoulder and said: You have really matured, but not as I hoped.

I said: Normal, people will grow up, even if it is slow, but they will definitely mature.

While talking, a voice like a silver bell said: "What are you talking about?"

Looking around, I saw a boy and a girl coming from behind us. Both of them were dressed in deerskin. The boy had dark skin and handsome features, while the girl had fair skin and delicate features, but they looked [-]% similar. brothers and sisters.

Both of them carried bows and arrows, the boy held the bowstring tightly with his left hand, and was full of wariness towards us. The head of the group said: We are tourists, what is this place?
The boy stared at us closely and said: Ordinary tourists would go to this kind of place at night?
The head of the group pretended not to know: what happened here?Isn't this Tianchi?A holy place for tourism, we want to try our luck to see if we can see the legendary water monster.

The boy still looked at us vigilantly, as if he didn’t believe what we said, while the girl stared at us curiously with big watery eyes and took turns to inquire. I don’t know why, I think she looks familiar, but Just can't remember who the little girl is, the leader reached into his arms, the boy took down the bow and arrow at an alarming speed and said to us: Don't move around, be careful that I will shoot you through with a sword.

Before we could speak, the girl smiled and said: Brother, these two guests are good people, don't make things difficult for them.

The boy said: Why do you say that?There is no lettering on the face of the bad guys.

The girl said: Just trust me, I assure you they are not bad people.

The boy seemed to want to ask, but the girl frowned and said: Are you annoying? I said they are good people, they are good people, stop talking nonsense.

The boy said: You are always like this, everyone believes in him, sooner or later you will suffer.

The girl smiled and said: With a brother as powerful as you, I will definitely not suffer.

Although the boy tried his best to tense his expression, he couldn't help but show a sense of humor, and said: "Just give you a face, otherwise they will look good."

After that, the boy turned to leave, but the girl said to us: Come on, I invite you two to dinner.

The group leader and I couldn't help but glanced at each other, and the group leader said: Don't bother the girl now, we are also going back.
