After dinner, everyone divided into two groups. A few old men were not interested in investigating the case and went to have fun together. The rest of the group went to Meijia Village together.

People feel refreshed during happy events, and after four small internal strength increases, they are in a good mood. Moreover, for people with a progressive personality, it is very important to find the goal of hard work. The four of them have cleared the level, and there is a more exciting path ahead.

There is a new path ahead. If you have a path, you will not be afraid of hard work. These four are all people who love martial arts, and they do not need supervision even if they practice hard.

The four people in a good mood, along with a group of children and an emperor who had nothing to do, happily arrived at Meijia Village.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw Ouyang's men.

Ouyang Shaozheng and Lu Xiaoxiao were both here, visiting the village chief's house, sitting in the yard chatting with several uncles and aunts.

Seeing Zhao Pu and others coming, Ouyang was quite puzzled and asked, "Are you out of seclusion?"

Zhao Pu nodded.

A group of children ran around Lu Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao pulled them to sit down and peeled lychees for them to eat.

The village chief of Meijia Village was very happy to see Zhao Pu coming. Before the Pioneer Officer came, the whole village had already come out to watch once. This time when they heard that the Ninth Prince was coming, they ran out to watch again. That is to say, they did not

I know Zhao Zhen is here too...

The seven aunts and eight aunts in the village were very happy to see so many beautiful young men, and they all came out to entertain them with their home-made snacks.

Gongsun also checked the pulses of the elders and aunties in the village.

After sitting down to drink tea together, Zhao Pu asked the village chief to explain in detail what happened that night.

The village chief called several villagers who had witnessed ghosts, and told them what had happened.

The general situation is similar to what everyone heard from Xiao Liuzi in Taibaiju. Here it is more detailed and describes the specific appearance of those "ghosts".

There was a scholar in the village who was good at drawing and even drew a picture.

Zhan Zhao and the others took the picture and looked at it, and they were surprised. They didn't know whether it was the scholar's drawing that was good, or whether the ghost really looked like this... It was obviously a very ordinary skull face, but it had a certain...

Indescribably scary, this is quite rare.

Several eyewitnesses said that the painting was very similar, that’s what it looks like!

Zhao Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu Gongsun didn't think much after seeing this picture, but Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang saw the trick.

"It looks familiar." Huofeng took the picture and looked at it for a while, then looked up at Zou Liang.

General Zuo also frowned, "When we went down to the cave that day, there were some human skulls inlaid on the wall next to the cave. It felt... somewhat similar to this."

"Hole?"

The village chief suddenly asked, "Is this a hole dug in the mountain?"

Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo both nodded. Zhan Zhao curiously asked the village chief, "What happened to the cave?"

"Oh, that legend is not true!" the village chief said mysteriously, "I have heard from the old people in the village before. It is said that a long time ago, there was something called a fog ghost in our mountain!"

Everyone tilted their heads - Turtle?

The village chief didn't look like he was joking, he looked quite serious, "It was a long time ago, before Black Wind City was established. At that time, I lived here. I heard what my grandfather said. At that time, some villagers came in

After Shan Hou disappeared, it was said at first that he was captured by bandits. There was also a garrison here at that time. I brought some soldiers and horses and went in to search but couldn't find it. There was also a soldier missing. This incident probably caused an uproar among the garrison.

The general paid attention to it and suspected that there were some enemy soldiers and horses hiding in the mountains. The general took some elite troops and went into the mountains overnight... But once he entered, he did not come out. It was not until the third night that the general went crazy.

He ran out, shouting something like 'Ghost...Ghost...'"

Everyone frowned when they heard this and looked at Zhao Pu - have you heard of this?

Zhao Pu looked at the village chief who was almost seventy years old. When he was a child, he heard the old man tell him that maybe it happened a hundred and eighty years ago. Who knows...

"The general went crazy. Later, my grandfather and others went to ask some monks to help take a look. One of the masters said that the forest was not clean and there was something called a fog ghost." The village chief explained, "The fog ghost

This thing lives underground all year round. It is transformed from the miasma accumulated by corpses. The shape is not clearly visible, but it is extremely poisonous. People attacked by this fog ghost will lose their minds and go crazy, and many people will die directly in the mountains.

Already."

Everyone frowned, and the Ninth Prince touched his chin - Is there such an awesome thing in Black Wind City?

"But, it is said that several eminent monks were invited to do the practice. The miasma cave was found and sealed, and nothing happened." The village chief touched his chin and asked his wife, "Did it happen again later?"

Has a group of monks ever entered?"

The village chief's wife was about the same age as him. The old lady nodded and said, "We all saw it when we were children. Indeed, a group of monks wearing strange robes came into the mountain and brought many things in, saying they were building temples.

At that time, the village was quite dissatisfied, saying that there were so many residents nearby, why build a temple here? But the group of monks were very fierce and ignored us. And it seems that no big temple was built after that, just hidden in the

There are a few small temples scattered in the mountains, and the group of people disappeared later, so the matter was never followed up."

Everyone felt that something was fishy. It was still early, so they decided to go to the mountains to have a look.

Of course, Zhao Zhen would definitely not allow him to go. The emperor still had objections, but Zhao Pu glared at him - If you continue to make trouble, I will send you back to the commander's residence!

Zhao Zhen pursed his lips and looked at Nangong - Uncle Jiu seemed to be more powerful than before!

Nangong felt that it was not enough, and he should just throw the person back to the Kaifeng Palace! Anyway, his internal strength has improved so much, so he still needs to try his hand!

Ouyang, Xiaoxiao and a group of children were left watching Zhao Zhen, while the others entered the mountain together.

There were also soldiers near the mountain. The Zuoying camp had dug a hole, marked it, and built guardrails. The entrance to the hole was temporarily covered with wooden boards. It had rained in the past few nights, and water accumulated on the wooden boards.

The shadow guards moved the wooden planks away. At first, everyone was worried that water would accumulate in the hole, but when they looked down, they saw that the stairs were dry.

Lin Yehuo stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and a string of flames flew down, illuminating the entire entrance of the cave.

There is a stone staircase leading down from the entrance of the cave. As Langfeng said before, there are many skulls inlaid on both sides of the wall.

There was nothing special in the cave, so everyone wanted to go down, but Gongsun stopped them, "Wait a minute, wait a minute... something is wrong!"

Everyone immediately took back their steps and looked at Gongsun.

Gongsun walked down the two steps and stared at the skeleton on the wall.

Zhao Pu also followed a few steps down and asked Gongsun, "How are you doing? What did you find?"

Gongsun took out a bamboo stick and touched the soil next to a skull and said, "These bones are all petrified."

Everyone is looking at him - so what?

"So these skulls are probably thousands of years old!"

The gentleman's words shocked everyone - a thousand years?

"That's right!" Gongsun nodded and pointed to several skulls and said, "And you can see that these skulls have different directions and different states, but they all have one thing in common. Can you see their expressions?"

Everyone nodded. These skeletons all had their mouths open with ferocious expressions, just like the ones drawn by the village scholar just now, which made people feel horrified.

"Because these people were buried alive!" Gongsun said, "This state is caused by suffocation and struggling before death."

Disgust appeared on everyone's faces - isn't it...

Gongsun looked at the steps again and found that they were paved with solid stone. He squatted down and dug at the stone steps with a bamboo stick. On both sides, Lin Yehuo handed over a fire ball and Zhan Zhao handed over a light ball, illuminating the entire tunnel.

Very bright.

Gongsun looked around and found that it was quite convenient, but it was hot...

After studying the stone steps, Gongsun let out a "tsk" sound and ran up.

"What's going on?" Bai Yutang asked when he saw that Gongsun's expression seemed a little uneasy.

Gongsun said, "This cave must have been built a long, long time ago. Moreover, the construction method was extremely cruel."

Everyone nodded - that's not it, burying him alive wouldn't be cruel.

"Is it some kind of pit for human sacrifice?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Gongsun sighed and shook his head, "No, these people are used for decoration."

Everyone was shocked - ha?

Gongsun said, "These corpses are all on the same surface. If a hole is dug and buried, it is impossible for all the corpses to be on the same surface."

Everyone took a look and found that it was indeed...

"How did you get that?" Zhao Pu asked.

"To put it simply, first dig two narrow trenches on both sides, the kind that can only accommodate one person, then throw a few people down, fill them with a layer of soil, throw a few people in, and fill them with a layer of soil." Gongsun pointed to the middle.

The staircase said, "The people were buried, and after a year and a half, the middle was dug out and stone steps were laid. On both sides of the wall, bamboo sticks and brushes were used to brush away the excess soil and expose part of the bones.

Then a layer of special stone grout was painted on the surface, and it became what it looks like now. There is still some gold paint left on the stone steps and walls, which shows that the entrance was magnificent when it was just built."

Everyone couldn't help but feel disgusted after hearing this - what kind of aesthetic is this?

Facing such a weird and disgusting hole, everyone was wondering - does it have anything to do with skeletons?

"I feel that the style doesn't match up." Zhan Zhao expressed his opinion, "Those things related to the Skull God Cult that we have dug up recently are just for fun, especially those Buddha statues with hidden black scrolls, but this one

It feels much more advanced!”

Gongsun said that it was indeed the same level as digging an ancient tomb. Be careful when you go in, it would be a pity if it was damaged somewhere. After a while, let Si Tianjian dig it carefully to find out which dynasty it belongs to.

Since you are here, you must go down and have a look.

Zhan Zhao and Lin Yehuo went down first, holding a ball of light and a ball of fire. Zhao Pu and Bai Yutang asked Gongsun to walk in the middle, and they followed behind.

Walking down the steps, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but after Gongsun Yifan's explanation just now, everyone felt that this cave had a sense of simplicity and vicissitudes of life. The "decoration" of skeletons on the surrounding walls gave it a more...

There is an unspeakable evil. Those ferocious skeletons seem to be floating around, covered behind a layer of gray mist. If they want to struggle out, the atmosphere is terrifying.

When you walk underground, there is a long passage in front of you. There is light at the end, and you can see that it leads outside.

Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang had just walked up before, without looking around carefully, but now they had a look, and everyone wanted to go up... because the cave was all surrounded by skeletons "decoration".

Thinking of the people who made these walls digging ditches bit by bit and filling them in and burying people bit by bit, everyone felt a wave of discomfort, and Mr. Wu wanted to find a place to vomit.

Gongsun was relatively adaptable. He looked up at the top of the cave and the surroundings, and found that there seemed to be a certain pattern in the arrangement of the skeletons. What was the purpose of this arrangement?

Everyone continued to move forward.

After passing through the long underground passage, there is an arch-shaped exit in front of you that is as tall as a person. From the looks of it, it should be artificially constructed.

When they walked out of the arch and looked outside, everyone was stunned... Before they came down, they never expected to see such a scene...
