Chapter 37 Nightfall
Chapter 37 Night Scene
Everyone was thinking about the casualties of the brothers at the foot of the mountain, and hurriedly turned around and left Pingshan. When they went to Shanyin, they found that there were indeed heavy casualties and injuries. Countless people were smashed into meat pies by huge rocks, and many people were bleeding and seriously injured. Even Luo Laowai, the warlord who was rampant in Xiangyin, was killed on the spot and ended up in pieces.
The huge rock at the bottle fell down and rolled into a dense forest, far away from the mountain shady area. The big pits that were smashed out of the ground, the trees, rocks, human flesh, blood, donkeys, horses and animals were all mixed up. Those who were lucky enough to die were ashamed, with a look of dull expression, and they didn't respond without a slap in the face.
Seeing this, Blind Chen felt a little cold and said intimately: "It's really my destruction!" The situation that has been working hard for many years seems to have collapsed with Pingshan. The death and injury of hundreds of people is nothing, but the local warlords are already mobs. Now that Luo Laowai dies, his tens of thousands of troops immediately become leaderless. Xiangyin is the nest of the thieves of the Xiling Mountain. The consequences of this matter are hard to estimate. Moreover, the three thieves in Pingshan have killed and injured brothers more than once. Changsheng Mountain's rudder's prestige is ruined. If he doesn't steal more than a dozen large tombs, the situation will not be found.
As the saying goes, "It is hard to cover up the shame of the Xiang River." Chen Jianzi was extremely depressed and felt that his career and ambitions in his life had been wasted together. Right and wrong, success and failure turned into nothing. In a blink of an eye, Mount Tai turned into an iceberg. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sudden rush and almost vomited blood.
His subordinates quickly helped him sit aside and advised him one after another: "Mr. Chen's head is a great master. Although we have fallen into a big flaw this time, the foundation of Changsheng Mountain has not been shaken. There will be a comeback in the future. Didn't the leader who taught the youngest of the chief and the military strategists be expected to win or lose? Although Luo Shuai has been blessed with his fortune and died tragically, he can be regarded as Xing Tianwu's Ganqi. He is so brave that he has grown up. If a hero is not dead, he must die for great things. As long as the rudder of Changsheng Mountain is not accidental, we will stay with the green mountains and not be afraid of burning fire."
Seeing that his subordinates were just talking nonsense and didn't have any good words to use, Chen felt even more upset. He waved his hand and asked them to retreat aside, only invited the Partridge Whistle to approach him, sighed, and said to him: "Brother, you and I have never lost all your loyalty. Now that I am in trouble for my brother, I really don't know what to do, and only you can help me get an idea."
Partridge Whistle is a very clever figure. He naturally understood the situation in front of blind man Chen. This golden chair of "Raising Ridge" may not be able to sit steadily. Only now, the only way is to make up for the bribe. Doing things on the green forest road has been to sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, and it is impossible to turn back.
The most urgent task is to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent Luo Laowai's troops from mutiny and disintegrating. Now the battle between warlords in the battle to grab territory is very fierce. If the troops are not stabilized, once a large number of deserters appear, the surrounding warlords may take advantage of the opportunity. In that case, the thieves in the Qiling River will be untenable in Xiangyin.
Secondly, we have to steal the ancient tomb of Pingshan again. Now the tomb chamber on the top of the mountain has collapsed into the dense forest below the slope. I don’t know if the coffin and artifact inside have also fallen to pieces, but if we don’t rob the ancient tomb, Chen will be even more shameless.
Partridge Whistle is willing to go to the forest to rob the tomb alone, while Chen Weizi should direct his men to gather the remaining troops, appease the wounded, restrain the dead, and send people back to Xiangyin at night to find the second-ranked figure in Luo Laowai's warlord team, and use some means to make him work for Changshengshan so that the situation can be stabilized as soon as possible.
Chen said, "This is a perfect solution, but the ancient tomb is already impermanent. It is too risky to let my brother go to rob the tomb alone. It is hard to roar with his own way. He needs someone to help him."
Partridge Whistle didn't want to have help from others. The methods of moving mountains and unloading mountains are different, and they never rely on many people. For the Taoist who moved mountains, they were not allowed to use them when there were a lot of people, but it was not easy to refuse Chen Jian. In the end, the two discussed and only let Miss Hong and Dong Manzi follow him. If they were in danger, they could set up rockets, and the thieves nearby who cleaned up the mess would immediately rushed to pick them up.
The Red Girl is a good player in the Moon Gate. She has outstanding features in breaking the barrier and unlocking, and has the ability to fly a knife and sleeve arrows. She is not as eager as ordinary thieves, and she is a capable helper by her side. Although the cave barbarian is as timid as a mouse, he is a local native. She is familiar with the landforms of Lao Xiongling and all the stories of scenery. When she enters the mountains and forests, she cannot live without him. This guy is greedy for Chen Weizi to reward him with a few taels of opium, and immediately sacrifices his life and is willing to go to the tomb with the Taoist who moves the mountain to rob the tomb.
When the arrangement was settled and some dry food was eaten, night had already fallen. Partridge Whistle and Hong Girl changed into black night clothes and asked the guide cave man to drag a "centipede hanging mountain ladder". The three of them carried a bamboo basket and put the Rage Chicken and two other roosters into it. Seeing the bright moon blooming, the light was as bright as the daylight, and then they immediately set off forth.
The broken mountain rolled into the bottom of the valley, and many trees were cut off along the way, covered with blood and flesh, and there was no inch of flat ground. He had to turn around from the forest on the other side. The moonlight that night was as clear as water, so he did not raise the lights, and turned off the lanterns and hung them around his waist. Through the forest, the forest was deep and quiet. He turned into the valley and didn't walk far. The noise of the thieves and corpses gathering the ridge behind him could not be heard.
On the way, the three of them talked about the Pingshan ancient tomb. Miss Hong took the opportunity to thank the Queqiao Whistle for saving each other during the day. Queqiao Whistle didn't care about this. What's the point of asking about some trivial matters?
Miss Hong said that the virtue of saving lives is a trivial matter? Although she was temporarily entrusted to live in the green forest to avoid disasters and followed the rudder to do something unparalleled, she did not dare to forget the way of dealing with people in the world of "small water and repaying it with springs". The Taoist of Moving Mountain also broke two people in the day. Seeing that there was no other helper from Partridge Whistle, she said that she would be willing to leave Changsheng Mountain in the future and follow him to fight everywhere. Although her strength was weak, she would definitely sacrifice her life to help her regardless of safety.
How clear is the Partridge Whistle to see the opportunity? Seeing that Miss Hong said this, if she had known that she had intended to agree to her, she would have to make things clear so that she would not cause many unnecessary troubles in the future. Although the Taoist who moved the mountain also intermarried with outsiders, the people in this clan were tortured by evil curses of ghost caves and their lifespan was very short.
When Miss Hong saw that the other party had seen through his thoughts, she felt a fever on her face. Fortunately, she was not clear under the moonlight, so she was not easy to be seen by the irrelevant Dongman. She had to say something and distract the topic. She didn't care about the gains and losses of the world. But when it comes to life, Moon Mountain has been at the bottom of society since ancient times, and has been heavily exploited and bullied. How could there be fewer artists who died short-lived than those who have been cursed by evil Taoists? Miss Hong's junior sister, Hei Yatou, lost her life at the age of sixteen. Her family, seven people, were forced to death by the government, and she couldn't stop crying.
Partridge Whistle doesn't want to talk about the cold world, and it's inevitable that it's disheartening. It just feels that the junior girl Hong's younger sister is called Hei Yatou. The stage name in Moon Mountain is really strange, and they are all made of colors. The Old Xiongling Yizhuang near Pingshan was originally a "grandma temple" and was worshipped on the white old lady. Could it be that the old raccoon is also from Moon Mountain? No wonder it makes illusions.
It was almost three o'clock as he spoke. The moonlight was already high, the smoke was everywhere, and the dark forest was filled with evil spirits. The partridge whistle made the two stop temporarily, climb up a big tree and look around, seeing the direction of the huge rock in the forest, all in a strange mist. After seeing it, they slipped down the tree and carefully asked about the terrain of the back mountain of Dongmanzi.
The man from the cave answered hurriedly: "I'm going to teach this senior brother Mo to learn that the forest valleys behind the mountain overlapped, and there were desolate lands where no people were seen. The naturally generated stalagmites and stone pillars around us call them Huyan. The dense forest of Huyan is the Nuqingao, which is shaped like a flying phoenix spreading its wings. The deepest parting is said to be the ancestral cave of the seventy-two caves in the early years. Now it seems that there are still some black birds and black bear stone statue relics, which have been abandoned for a long time. Now the locals don't value this place much." He had preconceived the impression of the partridge whistle, and he thought that this person was the "Zalou Mo Master" who asked Chen to help rob the tomb. The local cave people respected the carpenters very much, so they still called the "Mo Master".
Partridge Whistle nodded secretly, thinking that the ancient tomb of Pingshan was indeed a method of rogue victory. The yin energy of the hanging tomb suppressed the auspicious energy of the Yiren's ancestor cave. The way for the Yuan people to defeat the victory was not uncommon. After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Lianzhenjia, the chief minister of the Buddhist teachings of Jiangnan, dug up all the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty, smashed the bones of many emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, mixed them into the bones of pigs, dogs and livestock, buried them in a large pit, and built a "Tiannan Tower" on it to suppress the dragon's spirit of the southerners. This method is a typical "Yansheng". He also thought: "I don't know if the Yiren's ancestor cave is really famous. Seeing that the mist in the forest does not dissipate, it is not a peaceful place to go, so you must be careful."
Thinking of this, Miss Hong and Dongman both relaxed their steps and sneaked over the shadow of the tree that could not be shining on the moonlight. At this time, they heard crying in the depths of the forest, crying sobbing that it was extremely sad, as if the dead were howling at the funeral. The dense forest at midnight sounded extremely sad, making people feel shivering.
The man of the cave knew that there would definitely be no one else in the mountain, so why would there be so many crying sounds? I thought to myself that the soul of the ancestors in the ancestral cave came out to complain at night? Thinking of this, he was so scared that he shook into a ball, the hair on his scalp stood up one by one, and the underfoot was as weak as cotton wool, and he was about to sit on the ground on the spot.
