Chapter 211 This is our taboo [Please vote for the 5000 big chapter]
It seemed that in the mouth of the old herb collector, the three words Xu Mo just said were taboo and could not be mentioned. He did not even have the courage to repeat them.
Xu Mo knew there was a story here.
"Just now, I saw a big stone on the road with those three words written on it. Have you heard of it before?" he asked tentatively.
The old medicine collector looked Xu Mo up and down at this time.
Maybe, I wanted to see if there was anything unusual.
Focus on the feet.
I was relieved to find that Xu Mo was indeed down to earth.
"What's your surname, sir?"
"My surname is Xu!"
"Mr. Xu." The old man bowed his hands and saluted: "You don't know something. Those three words are taboo here. We can't even mention them, let alone say them."
The old man collecting herbs kept his voice low, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.
Xu Mo came over to listen, and the old man's son also came over to listen.
"What are you doing here? Get out of here!" The old man was a little annoyed, but his son said at this time: "Dad, how long has this been, and you're still hiding it from me?"
Only then did the old medicine collector react.
They are already in a strange place, and there is no point in avoiding it.
And knowing more is also beneficial.
At least, if you're going to die, you know how you're going to die.
He sighed now.
"They are all passed down by the old people. Those three words have appeared before. I heard my father say that when he was young and I was still young, I met them once. At that time, there were not even one person in the ten villages.
Ah. Even if you don’t see people alive, you won’t see corpses after death.”
"It was night, and my father said that the moon that night was as red as if it had been fished out of blood. At first, the dog barked, but then it stopped barking."
"Why didn't Dad stop barking?" The son was curious, and the old herb collector reached out and knocked the boy: "It's the dog that stopped barking, not your father and I. I asked you to study more, but you just didn't listen and couldn't even say anything.
clear."
The old herb collector said that the dogs didn't bark because they were eating, and what they were eating were their own kind.
"They are killing each other, but this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is people!"
"Dad, could it be that people are also interacting with each other..."
"More than that, before your grandfather left, he told me that even if he died, he would never forget the scene that night. People were killing each other, and the methods were so terrible that you can't even imagine. Your grandfather saw it with his own eyes. You are too
Grandma peeled your aunt's skin, chopped it up, put it in a steamer, and steamed it all night."
When he said this, the hands of the old medicine collector were trembling.
Maybe he has never seen that scene.
But it's conceivable.
Just thinking about it makes my scalp numb and my whole body feels cold.
"Your grandpa also said that it was already dark at that time, and your great-grandmother suddenly appeared, woke him up, and told him to hide quickly. Thanks to your grandpa's cleverness, he hid under the earthen bed and escaped.
, otherwise, I will die too, and nothing will happen to you."
Not to mention, the old herb collector has a talent for telling stories. He actually talked about the ups and downs of such a little thing.
Xu Mo listened quietly, but the old man's son slapped his thigh: "Dad, what time is it? Please keep the story short. Just talk about what is going on in this place? How do we get out?"
"I don't know about that. According to what your grandfather said, find a safe place to hide and wait until this weirdness passes and everything will be fine."
Hiding?
But there is no hiding place here.
And the carriage over there is almost here.
I can only hide on the side of the road.
This is what the old herb collector and his son planned to do.
He was stopped by Xu Mo.
"After leaving the main road, I'm afraid you will never come back."
What Xu Mo saw in this strange fog was naturally much more than the father and son collecting herbs.
The road is quiet, but in the mountains and forests on both sides, there are many strange things. Once you leave the road, you really can't come back.
"We will talk about the taboo of those three words later." Xu Mo asked the two father and son to follow him, while he walked straight towards the carriage.
Although the father and son of Cai Yao felt that Xu Mo was not normal, compared to other things, they could only follow Xu Mo.
It's like walking on a cliff. If you take a wrong step, you will be in an abyss.
Xu Mo walked closer and looked at the approaching carriage.
"Horses are horses and people are not humans!" After muttering, Xu Mo walked over and stopped the carriage.
He first stepped forward and patted the horse's head, saying comfort.
The one I used is the chapter on Transformation of All Things into Spirits.
After transforming into a spirit, it is no longer a simple horse. It may be possible to escape from death, which can be regarded as a good deed.
Then Xu Mo said to the driver: "Brother, who is sitting in the car?"
"Mr. Hui, you are my master."
"Oh, what do you call it?"
"The owner's surname is Luan!"
"That's Mrs. Luan."
"How did you know she was a female?"
"I have a good nose, and I can smell it whether it's a man or a woman, a human being or a ghost."
Xu Mo looked sincere.
"Mrs. Luan, we are destined to meet each other. Let's talk."
After saying that, Xu Mo actually stepped forward and got directly into the carriage.
This unbelievable and abnormal behavior shocked the father and son who were collecting herbs behind and left them speechless.
"He, he..." The son's mind has shut down, and it is as blank as in the field of crops that have just been harvested. There is goods, but not much anymore.
He couldn't understand how the other party dared to get into the carriage.
How brave is this?
The old man collecting herbs is the same, but he is somewhat better than his son: "Mr. Xu, is he in the same group with them, or is he a brave man with great skills?"
Of course, besides these two possibilities, there is another one.
It's suicide.
But the other party didn't look like someone who wanted to commit suicide, and the old medicine collector certainly didn't want that either.
If Mr. Xu dies, it will be their turn next.
You must know that in this situation, the possibility of survival for the father and son is too small.
The carriage stopped, motionless and quiet.
The driver tilted his head and looked very surprised.
The servant carrying a stick next to him almost floated towards the father and son collecting herbs.
This gave them a deep sense of despair.
Fortunately, just as the servant was about to drift over, a woman's voice came from the carriage.
"Liu Wang, come back, don't be rude, that's Mr. Xu's friend!"
The servant named Liu Wang was also stunned.
It seems very unexpected.
But he still obeyed the order and floated back.
The old herb collector almost sat down on the ground. At that moment, he thought that the father and son were finished, and they were just wandering around the gates of hell.
The carriage continued to move forward at this time, and stopped when it reached the herb collector and his son. The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Xu Mo was waving from inside.
"You two, come in!"
There is no doubt that Cai Yao and his son felt that this moment was the most difficult choice they had ever made in their lives.
That is whether to go up or not.
As a result, the two of them didn't dare to go up, but they didn't dare not to go up, and they were very confused.
In the end, the old man gritted his teeth and dragged his son into the car.
He chose to believe this Mr. Xu.
There is really no other choice, because if you stay outside, according to the current situation, you will definitely die. If you get in the car, you may have a chance to survive.
The car suddenly became more crowded.
On the side of the old herb collector is his son, and next to him is the maid Cui'er.
Cui'er's ten fingers were all bloody at the moment. She lowered her head, turned her face sideways, and grinned at the father and son.
Just this one scene, Cai Yao and his son knew that they would never forget it for the rest of their lives. They would have nightmares in the future, fearing that this face would become a frequent visitor.
But compared to the maid, the lady seemed more terrifying.
Fortunately, Mr. Xu and his wife are huddled together over there.
"You two, I have discussed it with Mrs. Luan. She is also a warm-hearted person and has decided to take us along."
Xu Mo smiled.
It was as if the terrifying atmosphere in the car was invisible.
But if you look carefully, you will find that there is a sword on the pulley in front of him.
This sword is very rusty.
"Mr. Xu's friends are my friends. You two can rest in the car as long as you can. When you can get out of the car, let you get out." Mrs. Luan smiled.
But the old herb collector and his son didn't dare to look at her smile.
It was an unbelievable beauty, but at the same time, it was also a kind of horror and weirdness that went deep into the bones.
The madam is more terrifying than the maid.
It's not about the appearance, it's about the feeling.
"Old man, come on, please continue to talk about that taboo. How did your father get through it later?"
Xu Mo asked at this time.
At this time, the old man who collected medicine could only take a deep breath and bravely whispered: "Actually, it's nothing. After my father hid at that time, someone called his name outside and said a lot of things. My father even
He didn’t answer, because before my grandma went crazy, she told him that no one should answer, and if he answered, he would die!”
According to the old medicine collector, a lot of things happened before and after his father hid under the Tukang, but I didn’t have time to go into details just now.
Now that I have it, the old herbal collector naturally tells what he knows from beginning to end.
The old man’s surname is Li, and his name is Li Lianshan.
His father's name is Li Wanghu.
This name is very symbolic. At that time, Li Wanghu was in his thirties, not too young, and he also made a living by collecting herbs. His son Li Lianshan was only three years old.
After something strange happened in the village, the first person to be targeted was Li Wanghu's mother, Li Liansheng's grandmother.
The old man is almost fifty years old, and the women in the village age earlier. They look like they are sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair.
Because it was night, many people were actually sleeping.
Li Wanghu and his wife were sleeping soundly when they were woken up by the old lady.
At that time, Li Wanghu felt something was wrong.
In the darkness, the old lady stood in front of the bed, her eyes shining with a faint light.
It's like a very smooth crystal, reflecting the darkness.
"Wanghu, you two, hurry up and hug your child and hide, just hide under the kang. Remember, no matter who calls you later, don't answer. Don't answer. Otherwise, you will, you will die!"
The voice seemed very hard, as if he was enduring some kind of pain.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Li Wanghu didn't know why.
He found that half of my mother's body was in the darkness, and she looked very different from usual.
A pair of eyes with a faint light, a bit like the pond at the entrance of the village at night.
It seems that there is something hidden inside.
"Hurry up, if it's later, it'll be too late." After the old lady said that, she turned around and walked out.
Li Wanghu still wanted to ask, but his wife grabbed him.
"What's wrong? I need to ask clearly, mother, something doesn't look right." Li Wanghu said.
But his wife whispered: "Wanghu, take a closer look at how mother got out?"
"How did you get out? How else can you get out? Of course you have to walk..." Li Wanghu said while looking, but found that the old lady did not go out at all.
The toes dragged on the ground and floated out.
This discovery immediately made Li Wanghu furious.
And at this time, there were various screams coming from outside.
It came very suddenly.
It's not there one second, but it appears the next second. It's a bit like someone deliberately shouting in your ear to scare you suddenly.
Li Wanghu was not that obedient. After all, he was in his thirties and had his own opinions. After thinking about it, he asked his wife and children to hide under the earthen bed first.
Then he went out to investigate the situation himself.
Who knew that when I went out, I saw a horrific scene that I will never forget in my life.
Dogs are killing each other, and so are people.
The most terrifying thing was that Li Wanghu saw his mother preparing ingredients in the kitchen.
On the chopping board was a body that had been skinned and dismembered.
A head fell down next to him. Li Wanghu glanced at it and almost died of fright.
That's his sister.
The old lady was completely out of character at this time. She was mumbling words she didn't understand, then she put the body parts into the steamer one by one and started to steam them.
In extreme fear, Li Wanghu rolled and crawled back, then hid in the Tukang.
He was silent, and when his wife asked him, he did not dare to speak.
I was really frightened.
The scene at that time was both scary and heartbreaking.
The one in the cage is his sister.
This feeling is simply indescribable. He didn't go crazy on the spot, he was already mentally strong.
But what happened next continued to temper his spirit, which was already on the verge of collapse. After a while, the screams outside stopped, and the whole village seemed to fall into silence again.
But in this quietness, there is a terrifying danger hidden.
Also, the moon outside turned into blood.
A figure floated into the room at this time.
It was the old lady, tiptoeing to the ground, floating back again. She was still holding a plate in her hand, and she was muttering: "Wanghu, it's time to eat, Wanghu, it's time to eat!"
The couple under the earthen kang peed all over their crotches.
There was nothing I could do, it was too scary, because what was on the plate was half a human face, and it goes without saying whose face it was.
The old lady floated over and over, looking for people, but she couldn't find them. It was because they had been hiding before, otherwise they would have been found by the old lady.
And Li Wanghu didn't dare to agree, because he remembered that the old lady reminded him when she called him just now, no matter who calls you, don't answer.
Including herself!
"Wanghu, it's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
The old lady was very persistent. She floated and screamed for a long time.
This period of time is difficult for everyone.
Later, the old lady said something else.
Among them, there are those three words 'taboo'.
"Resent~Resent~Mountain!"
Speaking of this, the old man who picked the medicine, Li Lianshan, recalled: "My father, Li Wanghu, told me about this when he was dying. He said that those three words are taboo. From now on, whether he hears or
When you see it, you run and hide immediately."
Obviously, Li Lianshan didn't know much.
The story was so terrifying that it almost scared his son to the point of peeing.
Xu Mo asked the lady in the carriage, "Mrs. Luan, tell me, what is Resentment Mountain?"
For Li Lianshan, these three words are the taboo among taboos.
But for Xu Mo, these are just three words.
He came here to explore something strange. No matter what it was, he had to peel it off to see clearly.
Mrs. Luan had a strange smile on her face at the moment, with the corners of her mouth raised and her eyes crooked, making her look like the painted facial features.
"Mr. Xu, why do you need to ask so clearly? You are not a mortal. I will just send you out later."
"Who said I'm going out?" Xu Mo reached out and touched Madam Luan's thigh, and said: "Besides, I want to go out, do I need you to send me away? I can go out by myself."
Mrs. Luan did not hide and allowed the other party to touch her.
Of course, Xu Mo was not trying to be a hooligan, he was giving a warning.
If Mrs. Luan behaves randomly, he will also behave randomly.
"Mr. Xu, do you really want to wade into this muddy water?" Mrs. Luan's smile faded. One second she was smiling, but the next second she was as cold as ice, turning into a frosty beauty.
It's just that this beauty's face is bloodless, and she looks enchanting.
"Don't worry, I'm just wading in the muddy water, and I can't drain the water dry. The water is so muddy, are you still worried that I will mix it up? Besides, I won't slap you if I pump, so what are you afraid of?" Xu Mo squeezed.
He squeezed the opponent's already stiff thigh and withdrew his hand.
The implication is that even if something happens, I won't do it to you. Just turn a blind eye, otherwise, I'll do it to you now.
How to choose, weigh it yourself.
Mrs. Luan looked at the rusty sword that seemed to be placed casually aside, sighed and said: "The Immortal is resentful on the Mountain of Resentment, the Immortal of Resentment is resentful to Heaven, and the resentment is resolved for Heaven, and the mountain will reappear after sixty years. Mr. Xu, I am
Are you satisfied with the answer?"
Xu Mo nodded.
He understood that this matter could not be explained clearly, so Mrs. Luan answered in limericks.
And this is the limit of what she can do.
If you push harder, the other party will definitely turn against you.
Of course, Xu Mo is not afraid of falling out, but there are still some things to do at the moment. In addition, he also needs to let the other party send the Li family and his son out.
"Mrs. Luan, you still don't understand me. If you did, you would definitely not dare to talk to me like this. But don't worry, I am a very generous person, I can sail a boat in my heart, and I won't be the same as you. But, I can only
This time, if I don't understand the situation clearly next time, I will seek justice for them."
Xu Mo said with a smile.
The 'them' he spoke of were the four masters and servants on the carriage.
They were harmed by something strange and possessed their bodies. Xu Mo traveled around the world, so he didn't care if he didn't meet him. But as long as he encountered something strange and harmful, he had to take care of it.
"Axi, go and kill one, and give Madam a reminder, keep your skin tight!"
After Xu Mo finished speaking, the rusty sword flew out instantly and returned instantly.
But Liu Wang, who was following the car outside, had been killed!
This time, it was Mrs. Luan and they trembled.
"Okay, I keep my word. Ah Xiu, just keep an eye on them. If they are playing tricks, leave no one behind. Send them out safely. Then you can come back to me!"
After Xu Mo finished speaking, he patted Li Lianshan on the shoulder: "Old man, I have other things to do. When they send you out later, you can take your son home quickly, take a bath, go get rid of any bad luck, and rest at home.
For a few days, recently, don’t go to the mountains to collect herbs.”
Li Lianshan and his son nodded repeatedly.
Xu Mo had already pulled up the curtains and got out of the car, disappearing into the surrounding fog.
"Dad, he..."
"Hush, what is he? That's Master Xu. Kowtow quickly to thank Master Xian for saving your life!" Li Liansheng was not stupid. He figured it out. At this time, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in the direction Xu Mo left.
