Chapter 81: Snow Mountain Ghost

Views:

Xie Lingya didn't speak, just smiled at Hai Guanchao.

Hai Guanchao was a little hairy when he laughed, "You... you should show some respect to your elders."

Xie Lingya said innocently, "Brother, I'll have fun."

Hai Guanchao didn't connect Xie Lingya's laughter with his own words until now, because he really didn't think it was funny, "You are so happy as if you were possessed, don't scare me!"

Xie Lingya stopped teasing him, picked up the weasel, and said, "Look at you, I'm not willing to talk properly. It's a lesson for you, go back to old age."

He opened the window a crack and pushed the weasel out.

The weasel looked at them reluctantly. After all, it is too difficult for inhumans to cultivate. It has finally achieved today's climate, but it can only helplessly disappear into the loess stones.

Xie Lingya carried the unconscious girl to the front desk again, only to say that as soon as she entered the room, she found that she had fainted inside, maybe she fainted while working.

At this time, the girl also woke up. She stayed for two seconds, and then said in horror: "Weasel! It's a weasel!"

"What a weasel, Xiaojuan, you are confused." The colleague touched her face, "Let's go to the hospital for an examination, and I fainted out of nowhere."

The girl's memory is a little fuzzy, but she remembers the strange, human-like expression of a weasel before she lost consciousness, and she was frightened and scared, "I, I didn't... I really saw..."

"Beauty, are you too tired and hallucinating? I didn't see any weasel." Xie Lingya comforted a few words from the side, and then said, "We have a doctor in the company who took the pulse and said it was no big problem. , it is relatively empty, maybe because of this, you are in a trance, and you won't take it to heart when you drink some hot tea and eat some hot food."

The girl looked at Xie Lingya in confusion and murmured, "I seem to be still holding someone..."

Xie Lingya almost couldn't hold back her blushing, but she didn't expect that she still had a vague feeling, so she quickly said: "I'm sorry, maybe you felt it because I carried you down, but I'm very honest!"

The girl blushed and was embarrassed to mention this, and ate something with the help of her colleagues.

Xie Lingya went back when she saw that she was fine. He thought that this matter was over, the old weasel should already know the difference in strength and did not dare to cause trouble.

However, Xie Lingya still underestimated the weasel's stubbornness and revenge.

After two days, they finished their training and were about to climb the mountain. The trainer asked them which side of Mount Everest and wanted to send them off. Xie Lingya smiled and said nothing. The head of the trainer called him and said that they had their own arrangements.

It was not dawn that day, and the four of them packed their bags and set off.

Every few hours, stop to rest and eat something to add calories. Hai Guanchao even massaged Fang Zhe's legs and feet, that is, Fang Zhe can endure hardships, but normal people may not be able to survive this.

Xie Lingya took out the portable windproof stove, found a flat place to put it, and planned to get something hot to eat.

When the ignition was on, Xie Lingya heard a small movement. He looked up and saw nothing. "Did you hear anything?"

The other three sat a little further away, and Hai Guanchao was massaging Fang Zhe again, all shaking their heads.

Full of suspicion, Xie Lingya continued to light the fire, and then took out the container and food from the backpack.

However, Liu Lingtong was a little bit temperamental, "Yeah, weasels are really annoying."

Xie Lingya suddenly woke up, it wasn't his illusion, the sound was really from a weasel? That guy has been abolished, can he keep up

Xie Lingya stood up and looked around, but there were rocks everywhere, and the weasel could not be identified from it. He had no choice but to continue doing his own thing, and cook it for everyone to eat.

Because he was thinking about it, Xie Lingya kept paying attention to the surroundings. When he heard the sound again, he suddenly looked at it, but it was a half-sized weasel, beside the backpack, looking like he wanted to sneak around.

Xie Lingya could see that this was definitely not the old weasel they had cleaned up before, it was definitely its descendant, and probably belonged to a family.

Well, I couldn't take revenge myself, so I sent the juniors to make trouble. What if the people on the mountain took away their food. Xie Lingya smashed the stone and drove the weasel away, dragged the backpack back, and hugged Brother Pheasant again.

Others also saw this scene, and Hai Guanchao said worriedly: "No matter what, if it really makes trouble..."

"No matter what, I'm pushing it to run, maybe it won't catch up." Xie Lingya sat down and said with a sullen head, "It's okay, they can only follow."

At night, the four of them set up two double tents. Xie Lingya sprinkled a circle of cinnabar around the tent, drew talismans with slate, inserted them into the soil, and said with satisfaction, "Okay, don't be afraid when you sleep, if you dare to come, I will invite you. You eat the meat of thunder-split weasels."

At night, it was even more severe in the mountains. Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan shared a tent and burrowed into their sleeping bags. There was a tent to keep out the wind, but it was much better. The backpack and Brother Pheasant were by their side.

After climbing a mountain during the day, everyone was tired, Xie Lingya squirmed to his face, kissed him and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Xie Lingya was suddenly startled, as if feeling something, opened his eyes, and only heard the whimpering of the night wind, and the sobbing of animals. Yes, it was a cry, thin, a little human-like, but definitely not.

It's over, and you're crying if you can't come in

Xie Lingya saw that Shi Changxuan was still sleeping, and Brother Pheasant was shivering with his head on the ground. Xie Lingya got out and prepared to educate the little weasel.

He opened the tent entrance, and as soon as he got his head out, Xie Lingya felt numb in his scalp and had goosebumps all over his body.

In front of his tent, at least 80 or 90 weasels squatted densely, their eyes glowing faintly, and they looked up at him with extremely neat movements.

This stare made Xie Lingya extremely uncomfortable, and he never imagined that there would be more than one weasel following them. It turned out that there were so many. It seemed that only one of them was discovered by him.

These weasels couldn't get close to their tent, so one weasel started to cry. After seeing Xie Lingya, the cry didn't stop, but got louder and louder. Dozens of voices gathered together, adding up to a lot. The other three also woke up.

This weird weasel cry scared Hai Guanchao's vest into a cold sweat.

FangZhe patted him twice, "It's okay."

If you are timid, you will not be able to be the successor of "Luban Book", and you will not be able to play with Xie Lingya since he was a child. Both he and Xie Lingya belonged to the kind of people who could stand up to fear.

Fang Zhe got up and probed, and saw the weasel outside, crying aloud, and felt a little chilly.

This is not to let them rest well.

Fang Zhe frowned and said, "You can't even fight, is it interesting for you to be entangled like this?"

The weasels probably thought that we couldn't move you, and it would be our happiness to make you unhappy, we cried more vigorously, the whimper was blown farther by the mountain wind, and drifted in the night, and normal people probably wouldn't be scared to hear it. Death is also scared to pee.

"I'm really sleepy, don't tell them." Xie Lingya made a gesture to Fang Zhe, Fang Zhe knew it, and everyone got back into the tent.

Xie Lingya pulled out two pairs of earplugs from the bag and handed them a pair to Shi Changxuan. The two of them put on the mute earplugs, and the whole world became quiet. These excellent quality mute earplugs, together with the eye mask in the backpack, are all for the journey. It was prepared, they had been bumping in the car for so long, Xie Lingya brought these for the sake of rest quality, but he didn't expect to use them after going up the mountain. Although Brother Pheasant couldn't wear headphones, Xie Lingya put it in his sleeping bag and covered it, and it immediately improved.

The weasels outside saw that Xie Lingya didn't come to beat him, but endured silently, with a bit of joy of victory, and at the same time they screamed louder, they must let these humans rest well.

It wasn't until early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight came down, that the weasels shut their mouths hoarsely and contentedly.

Xie Lingya slept until he woke up naturally, and said hello to the others. Although the camping conditions were not that good, compared to the weasel's quarrel last night, he felt more comfortable.

Xie Lingya took out the mute earplugs and put them away, thinking in his heart, he couldn't kill all the weasels, and killing them would only attract more weasel revenge. It seems that there is a reliable way to get rid of them.

Xie Lingya hadn't figured out the method for a while. As they climbed higher in altitude, the weaker weasels couldn't stand it, and were visibly "left behind". From time to time, one came out from where he was hiding, looked at Xie Lingya faintly, turned around and walked down the mountain.

And as the mountains get steeper and the environment is harsh, no grass grows, and there is nowhere to hide.

Xie Lingya couldn't bear to hear the hoarse cry of the weasels who were so exhausted that they could only turn around.

other people:"… "

Weasel: "… "

Xie Lingya whispered, "I don't even dare to say that we wore headphones last night for fear of making them mad."

Hai Guanchao couldn't bear to look directly, "Come on you, they continue to howl tonight and I don't care if you don't care."

Xie Lingya: "Mmmm."

In the evening, there were only a dozen or so weasels left, and they were still following the four tenaciously. From time to time, they showed a look of hatred because of exhaustion, and that resentment was probably getting deeper and deeper during the climb.

These weasels tried every means to give them a hard time, but in the end, it seemed that they were the only ones who were tired.

Xie Lingya tried to find a flat place to set up his tent, but a weasel even picked up a rock and smashed him.

"Die, fellow!" Xie Lingya rushed over there to frighten it, the weasel jumped back, and was so frightened that his feet slipped and he fell.

Xie Lingya laughed and walked over to continue to scare it, but behind the rocks, there was a large lake under a gentle slope. The lake water is unpolluted, calm without waves, and a blue sky.

"...It's pretty nice." This mountain and lake are extremely beautiful, and the ground beside the lake is flat and not soft. Xie Lingya took a fancy to this place and ignored the weasel, so he turned around and called others to come over.

"This lake is so beautiful, it's like a whole piece of blue ice." Hai Guanchao also sighed with emotion, it is rare to see such a beautiful scenery in the city.

It was getting dark soon, Xie Lingya was quite interested in asking everyone to get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise by the lake. Although this place is not the top of the mountain, it must have a different taste.

At night, the weasels huddled together to keep warm, staring at them faintly.

While feeding Brother Pheasant, Xie Lingya said: "Fellow, you don't bring much dry food, you better go down the mountain, don't follow us, or when I figure out how to drive you away, it's the same, you will suffer in vain. "

The weasels stared at him anxiously with their enemies, and their hearts would not die until the Yellow River.

Xie Lingya pouted in annoyance, fed the rooster and then ate by himself.

At night, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, Xie Lingya set up a talisman, got into the tent, put on the headphones, the world was quiet and natural.

When he thought about getting up to watch the sunrise tomorrow, he felt that he was really a romantic object. He took the space for a date, thought about it, and slowly fell asleep.

Xie Lingya was sleeping soundly, when suddenly something was smashed on his chest, and he woke up in pain, only to see that Brother Pheasant was scratching himself with his claws as if he was going crazy, and he suspected that he was bleeding.

"What!" Xie Lingya was afraid that Brother Pheasant would be frightened by a weasel again, so he took off his earphones, but there was no weasel's cry outside.

"Oh oh oh!!" But Brother Pheasant's voice became more and more frantic, and it was deafening when he took off the earphones.

Xie Lingya had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't believe that those weasels could still break his formation. He quickly opened the tent to look, his face changed greatly, he almost rolled and crawled out of his sleeping bag and pushed hard. Shi Changxuan went to the next door to wake Fang Che and Hai Guanchao.

"What's wrong?" Fang Ze asked confused.

"Let's go! This lake is going to swell!" Xie Lingya said anxiously.

I saw that the originally calm mountain and lake were skyrocketing at an extremely fast speed, and it was only a few meters away from where they were!

At such a thrilling time, everyone bent down and rolled up their luggage and sleeping bags in a mess, but at this moment, the water flooded to their feet!

The icy coldness made Xie Lingya feel agitated. He carried his things and ran up with the chicken. From time to time, he had to tug at Fang Zhe.

When they climbed to the top of the gentle slope, they looked back and saw that the lake level had not only risen much, but the original gentle slope had disappeared.

Xie Lingya put the things on the ground, slumped on the ground, had no sleepiness, and felt cold all over. He looked beside him and saw a slightly higher rock, where the weasels were squatting and staring at them...

Xie Lingya felt a chill.

Could it be that these weasels led him there, if it wasn't for Brother Pheasant, it would have been miserable.

Fang Zhe was also in shock, staring at the lake and said, "How can this happen! How can this lake still rise??"

"It should be due to the special geology, haven't you watched TV? I have seen similar cases before, where the lake water disappeared or reappeared overnight. Just looking at the environment around the lake, it does not seem to be often soaked in water, which proves that the cycle of lake water rise is relatively comparable. Long." Hai Guanchao was still calm and analyzed it, "We're... unlucky."

"What bad luck, I saw that the lake followed the weasel." Xie Lingya said, "They are keen, they must know that the lake water has changed."

He said that, everyone looked at the weasel's expression wrong again. I didn't take them seriously at first, but now my heart is chilling, it seems that I can't despise any opponent!

"No, we can't let them follow." Fang Zhe said with determination.

Xie Lingya was about to agree, but saw those weasels jump off the stone and dash down the mountain as if lifeless.

"Don't you know we're going to do it?" Xie Lingya glanced suspiciously.

Hai Guanchao's teeth suddenly trembled, "Xie, Teacher Xie... Look..."

Xie Lingya looked back, his eyes widened, and after the skyrocketing lake, a heavy figure appeared, walking towards this direction stiffly.

Looking around, I don't know how many, Xie Lingya's flashlight slammed over, and a figure was neatly arranged, moving towards this direction. Their faces were blue-gray with a layer of frost, and the pain was frozen on their faces, making people tremble.

It was already cold enough on the mountain, and I could already see the boundary of the snow on the top of the mountain, but when I saw these guys, I just felt that my body was colder.

Moreover, they seem to have noticed the four of them, and those standing in the front row stared straight at them.

"...How come there are so many dead souls in the mountains." With so many dead souls, it's no wonder the weasel couldn't avoid it. Xie Lingya didn't have time to think clearly and said, "Hide it!"

He said hiding, of course, not looking for a place to drill like a weasel.

Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan didn't need to say, Fang Zhe held Hai Guanchao and recited the mantra: "Three souls in the left palm, seven souls in the right palm. The sky covers the earth, the earth covers the sky, and if you look at the sky when you look at the clouds and mists, a thousand evil masters will not be found. , ten thousand evil masters can't find it. I would like to invite the Six Stars of the South Dipper and the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.

Fang Zhe first hid the sea to watch the tide, and then hid himself. The four of them hid their figures and could not be found in the eyes of the ghosts.

At this time, Wuyangyang's ghost had stepped forward, Xie Lingya could see it more clearly, they had long hair, were wearing armor, and had weapons in their hands, just like an army.

The ghosts were dazed around the lake, circling in circles, not knowing where they wanted to go.

"They're trapped here." Xie Lingya could see at a glance that these were ghosts who died in vain, and they couldn't leave the place of death without reincarnation.

Xie Lingya felt a chill when thinking of the skyrocketing lake water just now. These soldiers must not have been drowned or frozen to death in their sleep.

At this moment, those ghosts realized again that they could not do without this place, and they began to sob lowly at the moon, making a loud grief, more frightening than the cry of a weasel.

They wandered in vain by the lake, and they didn't know how long they had been trapped in this cold and barren place.

Xie Lingya couldn't bear it when he saw it, so he lifted the hiding method.

The surrounding soldiers stopped and looked over.

One of the ghosts was slightly sober and asked, "Who is it?"

His accent is peculiar, and it is only vaguely recognizable. After all, it is an ancient ghost who died and has been in this remote place, not knowing any changes.

Xie Lingya: "Uh..."

How to explain it, he looked at the ignorant appearance of this ghost, and always felt that he didn't understand what he said.

The ghost said again: "You are not from here." He said coldly, "I can't get out of here, can you bring me a message home?"

Xie Lingya asked, "Where are you from?"

The ghost was confused again for a while: "I can't go back, can you bring me a letter?"

He repeated this sentence over and over again, the first half saying the most. Just imagine, Xie Lingya and the others still came up by car. In the past, they could only walk on that journey. The distance was long and the snow-capped mountains were difficult.

The other ghosts didn't seem to be able to speak very well, and just stared at this stranger. Although they were staring at Xie Lingya, the other three couldn't help being taken care of. Hai Guanchao's legs were weak, and he covered his face and said, "What is this... "

Shi Changxuan also untied the hiding method and stood with Xie Lingya, "Let's recruit the Yin soldiers here to ask."

The consciousness of these ghosts is very vague, and they only have pure obsessions. Asking them can't ask anything.

Xie Lingya also had this idea. He stared at so many straight and icy eyes, and his mind moved to lift the city god's seal and attract the god of the yin temple.

After a while, a wrestler came upon the call and bowed to Xie Lingya, "Mage."

As soon as the fighters arrived, the soldiers who approached stopped, but they were still staring here.

"Excuse me, I would like to ask, how did so many ghosts who can't be reincarnated here come from?" Xie Lingya asked.

The luxuriant replied quickly, "I only know a little about this. I'm just a ghost of the Qing Dynasty, and I'm still too young."

Xie Lingya: "…"

God is so fucking young.

Xie Lingya: "Tell me."

Li Shi said with a clear cough: "These tens of thousands of souls belonged to the army of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Back then, Tang Xuanzong dispatched the army to go out to Xiaobolu and needed to cross the snow-capped mountains. After Xiao Bolu was broken, the army returned and obeyed a If the prisoner of Brue is stationed here, the lake rises for three days every ten years and then retreats. That day is the time of the rising water, and the snow fell to this place that night. That night, almost all the soldiers were killed in their sleep. The lake was submerged and froze to death. They sank at the bottom of the lake, lingered at the bottom of the lake, and sometimes they did not climb up, trying to return to the Tang Dynasty. Only once in ten years can the water come out, but they have never been able to leave the radius of ten miles."

The four of them could hear it. It turned out that what they encountered was the army that was trapped here thousands of years ago. Are they looking for the way back to their homeland...

However, with the passage of time, Datang is long gone.

Even the Little Breuer is long gone, becoming part of the Tang Dynasty a few years after that war.

Both the Great Tang Dynasty and the Little Breeze have long been annihilated in the long river of history. The lives of tens of thousands of people can't afford to splash too much water. When future generations see it, they don't know where these snowy mountain ghosts come from.

Xie Lingya suddenly woke up and asked, "What about the prisoners?"

Lux said: "The people of Bolu are hardy and escaped a lot. Only a hundred people are buried here with them, but the number is too small for you to see." He added, "Because the burial is secret, it will last ten years. It only came out once, and no one has found it for thousands of years. Even if someone found it, it is impossible to save so many dead souls with the power of one person."

So many years have passed, the army and the captives have longed to go home for too long, and time will wear away their souls. Now they can only cry, and they can only search for a way that will never go back.

"By the way, some of the deceased told me that the Tang expedition was for plunder, and some of the deceased told me that it was because Xiao Bolu grabbed tribute and was ambitious with other countries... I don't know the specific reason, Master, you need to find seniors. Do you ask carefully?"

Xie Lingya murmured: "No need, I will send them directly to the underworld. Even if there is any sin in their lifetime, and who is right and who is wrong, it can be judged by the underworld... The snow mountain is too cold, and they have been frozen for thousands of years."

As for the cause of the war, it is not something that any of the dead souls present can decide. Even if there is right or wrong, both parties should go to the underworld early, a thousand years is too long.

"Mage Gao Yi!" The strong man hurriedly bowed and said implicitly, "It's just... there are tens of thousands of souls here. I'm afraid that several mages can't save all of them, or can they choose some of them first?"

Everyone: "...hehe."
