Guardian of the Night

Chapter 75 The Flying Head

The three of Ye Ye continued to head towards Sichuan.Not long after they left, the weeds where Li Qiuxing and Li Qiuyu murdered and hid their corpses suddenly rustled, and then suddenly stretched out a hand from the grass!Then a person crawled out slowly.No, it can't be said to be a person, but the dark disciple who was decapitated just now!
At this time, he or it was called it, and it slowly climbed up, and then, as if something was guiding it, it continued to walk along the road without a head.His head actually flew on his upper right!Slowly along the Shu road towards Sichuan.

As night fell, the three of Ye Ye lit a bonfire on the gravel by the roadside, and then the three of them sat on the ground to rest.And not far in front of them, two brothers Li Qiuxing and Li Qiuyu also camped to rest, but there was a bend between them, so they couldn't see them at all.

"Yezi, is it your first time here? Last time when Li Bin and I came here, we had better luck. We met a caravan and rode their horses into Sichuan. You haven't ridden a horse before." Qin Minglei chatted first.

"Well, not yet. It should be pretty good." Ye Ye said lightly while eating the baked dry food.

"Don't worry about Ye Ye, you don't have to worry about Elder Ye at Yemen, and the foster father is also at Yemen, trust them." It was Li Bin who saw through Ye Ye's worry and said comfortingly.

"Well, I see. How long will it take to enter Sichuan?" Ye Ye said with a smile.

"According to our current speed, it will take about two days, but Ye Zi, this road is the ancient tea-horse road. There are many carved Buddha statues in front! They are all on the stone walls, and they are really extinct!" Qin Minglei said excitedly.

"Oh? Really? Really? Carving on such a road is quite difficult. Let's take a look tomorrow." Ye Ye was also aroused curiosity.

"Well, it's not far ahead. I was shocked at the time. If it was carved in an ancient tomb, I would think it would be nothing, but it was carved on the road of Shu, which is difficult to reach the blue sky. It's really spectacular!" Qin Minglei said.

"Well, I must go and have a look! Eh? Someone is coming in front." Ye Ye looked at the direction they were coming, and saw a person walking slowly towards this side by the light of the fire.

"Well, someone is here, no, that person has a strong smell of blood!" Qin Minglei said lightly, suddenly felt something was wrong.

Ye Ye and Li Bin immediately became wary after hearing this.The man gradually approached.Under the light of the fire, he took a deep breath.

That person was a dark disciple with a different head. At this moment, his head was floating strangely above his right, and he was walking staggeringly forward.He didn't seem to see the three of Ye Ye and walked past them.Not long after, he was plunged into darkness.

"What... what's going on?" Qin Minglei said in surprise.

"I don't know either, I've never seen such a situation!" Ye Ye nodded helplessly.

After this short episode, the three of them immediately lost interest in the night talk, and Qin Minglei went to watch the night first, while Li Bin and Ye Ye rested.

After the three rested, the headless (headed) disciple of the dark system walked forward, and soon after, he staggered and came to the place where the two brothers Li Qiuxing and Li Qiuyu were camping.

After the incident at noon, the two became vigilant.Seeing a black figure approaching not far away, he immediately became tense.Then after the black shadow approached, the two suddenly panicked.

"Brother, what about that man?" The wise Li Qiuyu also panicked and asked Li Qiuxing.

"Shh, don't talk. When he comes over, we'll kill it again." Li Qiuxing, who was originally a desperado, immediately returned to normal after panicking.After that, he took out the chain knife and made an attacking gesture.

However, it didn't seem to see the two of them, and walked straight over.

"He doesn't seem to be able to see us." Li Qiuxing said indifferently, after seeing it go away, he put away the chain knife.

"What the hell, hurry up tomorrow! You go to rest first, I'll keep watch! I'll be replaced later." Li Qiuxing said.

Li Qiuyu didn't say anything anymore, he was smart enough to realize the importance of the matter, and immediately went to rest.

The next day, Ye Yeyou woke up early in the morning, and then woke up Qin Minglei and Li Bin. After the three of them washed their faces with water from the kettle, they ate some dry food and continued on their way.The three of them almost had a tacit understanding. They didn't speak much today, and they quickened their pace.

"Ahead, is the real horse path. A section of the ancient tea-horse road!" Until it was close to Sishi, it was fast.Qin Minglei suddenly said something to break the long silence.

"Oh." Ye Ye replied lightly.

Gradually, the road became narrower, and the other side of the road was a cliff canyon, while the other side was a cliff!
Walking on the horse path on the cliff, the three had to admire the caravan walking on this ancient path.Every time the caravan embarks on a journey, it is a journey of experience of life and death.The ancient tea-horse road is extremely difficult and dangerous, but the magnificent natural landscape along the way can inspire people's potential courage, strength and endurance, and sublimate people's souls, thus bringing out the true meaning and greatness of life.Not only that, the widespread spread of Tibetan Buddhism on the ancient tea-horse road has further promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between the Naxi, Bai, Tibetan and other fraternal ethnic groups in northwestern Yunnan, and enhanced the unity and friendship among ethnic groups.Along the way, some pious artists painted and carved a large number of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and eminent monks on the rocks and mani piles on the roadside, as well as various images of gods and animals, conch shells, sun, moon and stars.Those rough or exquisite artistic shapes add a kind of spiritual sanctity and solemnity to the long journey along the ancient road, and also add a bit of mystery to the distant horizon.

Ye Ye touched the pattern on the stone wall and said to himself: "The road is also made by people." After speaking, Ye Ye sighed, looked into the distance, and had some thoughts in his heart.

Jingle bell, jingle bell.Suddenly, there was a crisp bell sound from behind them.

"Haha, it's a caravan, a caravan." Qin Minglei said excitedly.

Ye Ye also looked over curiously, but when the caravan appeared in front of the three of them, the three of them immediately frowned!Because, the group of caravans staggered, leading the horses forward, and their heads were floating above them to the right!The horse was not psychic, and was still led by them obediently.

The road was not wide, so the three had no choice but to stick to the stone wall and let them pass.

Suddenly, a headless caravan slipped and fell off the cliff!Fortunately, its hand was holding a horse, and the horse was still walking forward, dragging it up.It staggered to get up, but couldn't keep up with the speed of the horse and was dragged away by the horse.The road to Shu was covered with gravel, and it was immediately bloody, and a bloodstain ran along the group of strange headless caravans.

Originally, if this situation happened, the caravan could stop the advancing horses to prevent themselves from being hurt, but now they are all dead (or alive?) strangely and cannot stop the horses.

The three of them watched them pass by in amazement, and became puzzled in their hearts.
