As the soul-inducing lamp lights up on the foggy river,
The boat was ups and downs on the river, gradually approaching the shore.
When they landed, there was a foul smell in the air, like the smell of corpses, and the smell came from the ghost lantern at the bow.
This is a soul-inducing lamp made of human corpse oil.
The boatman who was shaking the oars was an old man with cloudy eyes.
But the blame lies in the clothes on the old man's body, actually wearing the shroud that only the dead would wear.
"Did you throw this Yinde money into the river?" After the boat slowly docked, the old man with cloudy eyes glanced at the young man on the shore.
I don't know if it's related to the night, but I still can't see the young man's face clearly, and it's always shrouded in dark shadows.
The young man didn't speak, but his head seemed to be nodding slightly.
The mysterious young man didn't say a word the whole time.
Afterwards, an old man, a boat, and a soul lamp, carrying a young boat passenger, gradually disappeared on the long white mist of the river.
The direction in which the boat disappeared was actually the direction of the seventy-two ghost gates.
In the sea of thick fog, the seemingly dilapidated boat broke through the river smoothly all the way. When the boat was about to enter the waterway between the mountains and peaks, the old boatman in the shroud who was shaking the oar at the stern suddenly He spoke, with a weird smile on his face: "Since you know the seventy-two ghost gates, you must also know the rules of the seventy-two ghost gates, please."
tear it up
It is the sound of cloth being torn,
The young man tore off a corner of his clothes and covered his eyes.
Suddenly it turned black.
At this time, after losing sight and unable to see the surrounding environment clearly, he could only rely on the sound of the wind on his face and the sound of waves beating against the hull of the river to feel that the hull began to move on.
Not long after, the strong wind on the river that was whistling in my ears suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the humidity in the air increased, and the echo of water waves sounded in my ears, and the boat had already rowed into the waterway cave.
In the oppressive, mysterious, terrifying and unknown dark space, I heard some strange movements from time to time. For example, there seemed to be something swimming under the water, and there seemed to be many things crawling on the surrounding rock walls. There is an indescribable strange smell, like a strange smell mixed with many kinds of smells, and it is impossible to tell what it is.
There is no line of sight to judge the time, and I don’t know how long it has been in the waterway. I can only feel that the hull of the ship has been winding and twisting in the complicated waterway, not going straight.
Boom!
Suddenly there was a strange noise, as if something had gotten on the boat, the boat floated suddenly, and then someone's footsteps and heavy breathing were heard on the boat. But the young man at the bow of the boat in the darkness stood still, neither panic nor resisted.
People just stood still.
Maybe only a few seconds have passed, or even a few minutes. In the dark world without time reference, time has lost its meaning, plop!
With a sound of falling into the water, the thing on board jumped back into the water again.
In the following road, apart from the weird voices still ringing in my ears, nothing else happened.
When the speed of the ship gradually stabilized, until finally there was a light collision sound against the shore, the ship, which was relying on the soul-inducing lamp to borrow the dark path, finally came to a complete stop.
At this time, the young man standing at the bow of the boat took off the cloth that had been covering his eyes. Before his eyes was a pitch-black world, and even the reflection on the water was oppressively dark.
But on both sides of the shore, some green luminous objects could be vaguely seen. Because of the darkness and the distance, it was impossible to see what those things were for a while.
bang, bang, bang...
The young man got off the boat and stepped into the water above his ankles. There was a sound of splashing water. Obviously, this is because the water channel has become shallower, and the boat can no longer go deeper, so he can only enter by himself.
Stepping on the water above his ankles, the young man has been walking deep into it. Gradually, the water only covered his insteps and soles of his shoes... The road gradually became dry.
As the waterway came to an end and people landed on the shore, the space in the cave also became narrower.
The road became narrower and narrower, and with the help of the green luminous objects, in the narrow dark space, I finally saw clearly what those green luminous objects were.
Absolutely!
On both sides of the waterway, countless human corpses have been stranded. It is impossible to count how many corpses there are. It can only be described as a pile of corpses and corpses. The entry point was filled with densely packed corpses.
And those green luminous objects are the green phosphorus fire on the corpse mountain.
The clothes on these corpses include ancient and modern ones, as well as military uniforms from the era of warlord wars, and soldiers from the Japanese Empire during the war of aggression against China...
The number of dead bodies here is unimaginable.
So many corpses were formed by slowly stranded and piled up for a long time.
But what is even more strange is that none of these corpses have rotted into bones, and they are still intact. With so many corpses gathered here, it has long been a place to raise corpses, and the concentration of Yin Qi has reached a level unimaginable to the outside world.
The young man ignored the densely packed corpses on both sides and continued to penetrate.
As we walked deeper, the stone corpses on both sides showed no sign of decreasing. Instead, the piles of corpses were getting higher and higher, already higher than several people. They were all corpses washed into the depths by the tide over the long years.
At this time, the road gradually began to add more things, and coffins appeared on the pile of corpses.
Coffins were scattered here and there.
These coffins have all been opened, and some of them are rotten and tattered. You can even see the scene inside the coffin. The coffin is empty and there is nothing.
It's very strange, why are there coffins that have been around for many years here
After walking nearly a hundred meters in the dark and narrow space, I encountered three coffins that were all open and rotten. Suddenly, the space in front of me suddenly became larger.
Here is a huge space with traces of man-made gouging, which seems to have penetrated deep into the mountain belly, and there are more corpses and more coffins here.
Mountain of corpses!
More human corpses are piled up here than outside!
as well as,
More coffins on the corpse pile! !
In addition to the five opened coffins, there are still seven tightly covered coffins left here.
The line of sight continued to look behind the coffin, and there were two stone statues standing behind the coffin, and the surroundings of the stone statues were clean, and there were no corpses washed ashore by the river.
Those stone statues are actually two tomb-suppressing beasts!
The two tomb-guarding beasts also couldn't stand the wear and tear of the years, and they were gradually showing signs of dilapidation.
The tomb-suppressing beast is also a kind of ghost weapon. The ancients mostly used it to ward off evil spirits and protect the tomb. If there is a tomb-suppressing beast, it means that there is a tomb nearby.
"King Lao, your two grandsons were beaten to death half a month ago!"
The mysterious young man finally spoke for the first time. There was no one here, except for the corpses, there were only coffins. He was speaking in the direction of those coffins.
