The next morning, we all got up at daybreak.
After our discussion, we decided to leave Lou Xiaoman to recuperate in Longtan Inn, and one person would stay to take care of her. The rest of us planned to go to Soul Burial Valley together to look for Zhao Xilan's boyfriend Huang Bin.
We originally planned to keep Fatty Li, but Fatty Li said he would not do anything. He insisted on staying with Zhao Xilan. Others did not know, but I understood that Fatty Li was worried about Zhao Xilan's comfort. He wanted to protect Zhao Xilan.
So after a discussion among several of us, we unanimously decided to keep the young monk Yuquan and Master Lou in Longtan Inn. Yuquan didn't have any objections.
After breakfast in the morning, we packed our luggage and prepared to set off.
Before we set off, I told Yuquan and Master Lou to be careful of the Zhao family to avoid being attacked by them. At the same time, my master Zhang Chu also left the two zombies he raised in Longtan Inn to protect Master Lou and Yuquan.
Without much hesitation, we were soon on the road.
Soul Burial Valley is located in the north of Longtan Town, and it takes a while to reach the valley there. So we spent 500 yuan to rent a horse carriage for this journey.
The driver of the carriage was a middle-aged man from Longtan Town with good skills.
But after discussing it, the middle-aged man only agreed to take us to the "Huanglongxi". Huanglongxi is also in the north of Longtan Town, which is very close to the Soul Burial Valley.
But no matter how much we tried to please him, the middle-aged brother refused to agree to send us to the entrance of Soul Burial Valley.
The middle-aged man told us that the Soul Burial Valley was a forbidden area here, and once we entered the Soul Burial Valley, there was no way back. Seeing that the middle-aged man was determined not to send us there, we did not force him.
In just over an hour, the carriage carrying the four of us, me, Fatty Li, Zhao Xilan, and my master Zhang Chu, arrived at Huanglongxi.
The water of Huanglongxi is very clear and the water flows in a winding way. Under the water, there are all yellow sand and gravel, and the winding river channel really looks like a yellow dragon crawling on the ground.
The middle-aged man stopped the carriage at the edge of Huanglong Creek, then he raised his hand and pointed to the mountains in the distance to show us.
He said in a deep voice: "Look over there, the area between the peaks over there is the Soul Burial Valley."
When the name "Soul Burial Valley" was mentioned, the middle-aged man's expression was very unnatural, as if the name "Soul Burial Valley" contained some kind of demonic nature.
Before he left, he advised me, "I think you should not go to the Soul Burial Valley. Even if you come to Miaojiang to play and like to explore some strange places, you should not go to the Soul Burial Valley. It is really not safe there. A few years ago, a tourist went there and disappeared. We still don't know whether he is dead or alive."
But since we have decided to head to Soul Burial Valley, we cannot retreat.
Under our insistence, the middle-aged man had no choice but to drive the carriage away quickly.
Zhao Xilan also looked uneasy, and said to us with some guilt: "This time, I really have to thank you all. If you hadn't accompanied me, I would have been a little timid. I also know that this trip to the Soul Burial Valley may be very dangerous, so I hope everyone will pay attention to safety."
We nodded.
Then, we were soon on the road.
The forest was very dense, with some trees whose names I couldn't tell. There were birds in the forest, chirping happily, and sometimes we would disturb the flying birds when we passed by. The birds flew into the sky, from one tree to another.
comfortable.
How could they know that we were heading towards a dangerous place.
Huanglong Creek seemed not far from the Soul Burial Valley from our side. But in fact, it was already very far away. There is a saying that goes, "If you look at the mountain, you will die." This saying makes sense. We were delayed on the road for more than two hours, and finally arrived at the edge of the Soul Burial Valley around noon.
From a distance, we can already see the entrance to the Soul Burial Valley.
The two peaks leaned against each other, and the area in the middle was the entrance to the Soul Burial Valley. But there were a lot of rocks piled up there. There were a lot of weeds growing among the rocks, which gave people a desolate feeling.
Looking at the Soul Burial Valley right before our eyes, we were not too excited. Relatively speaking, everyone had some hesitation in their hearts. After all, the Soul Burial Valley was said to be very dangerous in Longtan Town and even in Miaojiang.
Most people don't want to get close to this place.
But here we are.
"Okay, everyone has been tired for a long time, let's take a break and eat something. Later, we will enter the Soul Burial Valley." I said softly.
My master Zhang Chu didn't take care of things in the team, but now, I have become the one whose words count among the four of them.
After hearing what I said, the panting people sat down on the ground to rest. We didn't sit against the trees because most of them were infested with ants and bugs. Those bugs were so numerous that they were annoying.
We originally planned to build a fire, after all, we already had a lighter with us. But then we thought, the Soul Burial Valley is right in front of us, and it would be bad if something went wrong. You know, the smoke from the fire might attract some things. That would be difficult to deal with.
Fatty Li was the first to finish his meal. After he finished, he looked around.
What we didn’t expect was that within a few minutes, Fatty Li came back in a hurry.
Seeing beads of sweat on Fatty Li's forehead and a look of anxiety, I asked, "What's the matter, Brother Li?"
Li Renyi bent over, panting heavily, raised his hand and pointed at the Soul Burial Valley, saying, "I saw it, I saw it... There are people over there, over there in the Soul Burial Valley. Moreover, there are not only people, but also monsters."
"monster?"
I was very confused when I heard this. I thought, even if there is a monster, it is impossible for it to appear in broad daylight. I still didn't believe it, and thought, maybe Li Renyi saw it wrong.
My master Zhang Chu looked at Fatty Li and called me, "Come on, Tianyi, let's go over and take a look."
Afterwards, leaving Fatty Li and Zhao Xilan here, my master Zhang Chu and I headed in the direction that Fatty Li had pointed out.
Sure enough, when we approached the entrance of Soul Burial Valley, I was surprised to find that there were really monsters there.
And there are quite a few monsters. From my angle, the Soul Burial Valley is divided into two parts. One part is no different from the people here, with upright legs and clothes that are not like those of the Miao people, but are undoubtedly ordinary people. They are people!
The other part, on the other hand, stood on the ground with both hands and feet, like a wild beast. They were monsters, but their bodies were like humans. They had unkempt hair and dense hair on their bodies. They didn't have many clothes on, and only used pieces of cloth or leaves to temporarily cover the **** on their bodies.
But when I saw those people standing upright, I felt a little strange.
The leader of the group of people standing upright seemed to be talking to the monsters lying on the ground, but I couldn't hear what they were saying. The way they were gesticulating was really strange.
But the next moment, when the leader who was standing upright turned his head
When I looked carefully, I actually recognized the man.
The man had a dark red face, was wearing coarse cloth clothes, cloth shoes, and held a short bamboo pole in his hand.
That person turned out to be the dark-red-faced man that Wang Jiuyang and I met on the train a few days ago, the corpse driver.
When I saw that person, I was extremely shocked. I didn't expect that person to come to Miaojiang and also to the Soul Burial Valley. I remember that when that person introduced himself, he seemed to say that his name was "Heishui".
What also struck me as strange was that the three people behind Heishui didn't move at all when the dark-faced man was talking. It was as if they were already dead.
What happened next made me even more certain that the people following Heishui were dead.
Because after Heishui talked with those monsters, those monsters actually led Heishui into the Soul Burial Valley, and there were special monsters to lead the way.
What's even more weird is that the three people following Heishui were actually jumping and following behind Heishui.
In other words, the three people are dead and have turned into zombies.
Soul Burial Valley, corpse raising ground, zombies... ... I don't know what the black-faced corpse raiser is doing here with those three zombies? Also, didn't Wang Jiuyang get rid of the red-haired zombie raised by the black-faced corpse raiser? Why are there three more zombies next to the black water
My master Zhang Chu turned his head and whispered to me, "Tianyi, that dark-faced man is also a zombie breeder. But the three zombies he raised should have been raised in recent days. They are all ordinary zombies and don't look very powerful."
The three zombies didn’t surprise me too much.
What surprised me was what my master Zhang Chu said! The flesh of the three zombies had not rotted. If the black-faced man had only been raising zombies for a few days, did that mean that the three zombies were the people he had killed in the past few days
I haven’t figured this out either.
Soon, those hairy humanoid monsters brought the dark-red-faced man Heishui into the Soul Burial Valley.
At the same time, I noticed that there were quite a few hairy monsters guarding the entrance to the Soul Burial Valley.
And those hairy monsters may have hidden themselves in a hidden forest to avoid being discovered.
I know that those hairy monsters are hiding in the dark woods to prevent strangers from entering the Soul Burial Valley.
Moreover, those hairy monsters look very ferocious and don't seem like they are easy to mess with.
I thought to myself, this trip to the Soul Burial Valley is really dangerous. I just don't know if Huang Bin, who has been here for more than two years, is still alive. Those hairy monsters are very enthusiastic about the black-red-faced man, do they treat other people the same way
Here are my thoughts!
But I quickly dismissed this idea.
Because not long after, several hairy monsters ran out of the Soul Burial Valley. In their mouths, they held several small bags. The bags were black and red in color, and bulged inside.
When those hairy monsters were running, I clearly noticed that an arm fell out of the pocket of one of them. The arm was bloody, but I knew it was a human arm.
A few of the hairy monsters hiding in the distance came out to greet them. One of them actually stuck its butt out, lowered its head, and directly held down the man's arm and began to bite it crazily.
Immediately, a lot of flesh and blood on the arm was bitten off.
When I saw this picture, I felt like an electric current was passing through my body. Instantly, my back felt cold, and then my scalp felt numb, and my hair felt like it was about to explode. That feeling was terrifying.
