"What? Do you still want to let him go?! You should still remember, right? When our car was hit before we arrived at Luoshui Town, there was a black figure on all fours who escaped, and it was this old guy!"
Yu Xian looked at me coldly.
"Of course I remember that this old ghost has stayed in the world for nearly a thousand years. He not only turned into ghost corpses, but also killed people. Naturally, the underworld will not let him go lightly. Why do you and I need to take action? You will only make yourself unnecessary.
It’s just karma.”
"Karma? Haha..."
Yu Xian shook his head and laughed a few times,
"You are afraid that I have forgotten my origin. I am a human evil among the three evil spirits in the Yin Mountain. It means nothing to me if my karma is not blocked."
Seeing her attitude, I said a little unhappy:
"Even if you don't care, then it's useful for us to keep him. Wouldn't it be better to let him be a guide? Why do we have to rush to kill him all at once?"
Yu Xian's expression was stunned, as if he had reacted.
"Anyway, the soul has been destroyed. It's up to you..."
I shook my head helplessly, but I always felt that something was wrong with her. When listening to the old ghost's story just now, Yu Xian's mood was a little abnormal. This was completely different from the calm and resourceful woman I met before.
Same.
But in this situation, we can only bite the bullet and go down!
Before leaving, I took out two qi-hiding charms from my backpack and pasted them on my and Yu Xian's foreheads to hide the yang qi from our bodies.
The old ghost said before that if you smell the smell of blood or sense the presence of Yang Qi, hundreds of bronze-armored corpses will wake up. We each checked carefully and found that there was no smell of blood on them, so as long as the Yang Qi was hidden
That’s it.
After preparing all this, the two of us continued to carefully go on the road in the dark!
"Do you know who the general inside is?"
After walking not far, Yu Xian asked.
I first used my flashlight to shine into the depths of the cave, and after confirming that there was still a certain distance, I slowly said:
"I had some guesses before, but after hearing what the old ghost said, my idea was confirmed. The person buried here should be Yao Pingzhong, the general of the Western Frontier of the Song Dynasty!"
"Yao Pingzhong?"
"Yes, to put it into detail, he can be regarded as a general with many military exploits. The emperor of the Song Dynasty at that time, Song Qinzong, appreciated him very much. One year, Jin soldiers besieged Kyoto. Song Qinzong appointed the Western Frontier General Yao Pingzhong to kill the enemy and promised to do so.
Defeating the golden soldiers and taking the enemy general's head will definitely bring you a heavy reward..."
"Yao Pingzhong immediately led his men to become a death squad and invaded the Jinbing camp. Unexpectedly, the Jin soldiers had already retreated. Because he was worried about being punished for not taking the enemy general's head, the general of the Western Frontier actually led his men on mules overnight.
He escaped from Kyoto and was rumored to have traveled seven hundred miles day and night..."
"In the end, he disappeared without a trace. Song Qinzong sent people to look for him many times but all returned without success. Unexpectedly, he actually hid his name here, and searched for alchemists to turn corpses into evil spirits!"
"I didn't expect that a dignified general of the Western Frontier would do such a ridiculous thing. It's really ridiculous!" Yu Xian shook his head and sighed.
"Who says it's not...Okay, I can't say any more. Although you and I are wearing the Hidden Qi Talisman, talking for a long time will still release a lot of Yang Qi. From now on, we will try not to talk anymore."
I gave this instruction, and then continued to feel my way around the cave and walked cautiously deeper into the cave...
It's always easy to lose track of time when walking in the dark. The two of us didn't say a word, only the sound of footsteps and breathing. I don't know how long we walked. The cave has become very spacious, as if
It reached the belly of a gourd, which was enough for ten people to pass through at the same time.
The place was spacious, but I felt nervous. I couldn't help but shine my flashlight back and forth to see if anything scary would appear.
At this moment, I was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. When I looked back, I found that Yu Xian was looking at me with a puzzled expression. I leaned my head forward, my eyes widened, and I wanted to ask her what was wrong with my eyes.
As a result, Yu Xian looked at me as if I were a fool, and slowly opened her mouth.
"No need to hold it in, those sleeping bronze-armored corpses are not here..."
Perhaps because this place is much more spacious, voices actually echoed.
I was stunned, covered my mouth and asked:
"How do you know?"
Yu Xian didn't speak, but took out a lighter, lit it, walked a few steps to the side, then raised his hand and waved it gently on the cave wall, a small oil lamp lit up, illuminating the surrounding area.
A range of two meters.
Then, Yu Xian took a few steps forward and lit the second, third...
After just a few minutes, the entire cave was almost illuminated by oil lamps. Although it was still very dark, it was much stronger than before. At least the outline of the cave could be seen clearly.
I glanced around, and after making sure it was safe for the time being, I walked to an oil lamp. When I looked inside, I found a layer of sparkling liquid in the oil lamp that wasn't too deep. I couldn't help but dip some in my hand and put it on my nose.
After sniffing it, my brows immediately wrinkled.
"Corpse oil..."
I couldn't help but dip some liquid in other oil lamps and smell it, and found that it was all corpse oil...
"These ever-burning lamps are all powered by corpse oil. Where did they get so much corpse oil?"
Although it is called an Ever-Bright Lamp, it certainly cannot stay on for thousands of years, let alone never dry up. The only possibility is that someone often pours new corpse oil into the oil cup to ensure that the Ever-Bright Lamp here can be lit at any time.
I immediately thought of those bronze-armored corpses mentioned by the old ghost. Could it be that the corpse oil was extracted from them?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked Yu Xian,
"How do you know that the bronze-armored corpse is not here? And how do you know that there is a burning lantern on the cave wall here?"
"Of course I know. I was here before when I came here last time, but I came in through another cave entrance. At that time, I didn't notice that there was another cave entrance here."
Yu Xian pointed at a dark passage not far ahead.
"Go along the passage and you will see the coffin of the general of the Western Frontier."
“Go and take a look first before we talk!”
I have never seen those bronze-armored corpses, and I always feel uneasy, but I decided to go and see the coffin of the Western Frontier General first.
After jogging all the way to the dark passage, I looked with my flashlight and found that the passage had become narrow again. Fortunately, it was not as exaggerated as before, and two or three people could pass side by side at the same time.
"Walk!"
I said something and stepped into the passage. However, I stopped just a few steps away.
"What's wrong?" Yu Xian asked from behind.
I stared straight ahead, my voice became extremely low, and said:
"Look what that is?"
Yu Xian took a few steps forward, took a closer look, and her expression suddenly changed:
