Six hundred and ninetieth chapters Grand Canyon
Luo Fei's pace was not fast. She kept a distance of about ten meters from the ghost. The mind power of us was too strong. If we approached the ghost rashly, we would be afraid that it would not be able to bear it for the moment and would be scattered on the spot.
It kept floating forward. After a while, I heard the sound of flowing water coming from the front. The sound was very fast. There should be a big river with rapid flowing water not far away.
Finally, it took us to a canyon, and I saw it turn its head and say to us: "Cross the river."
Luo Fei asked it: "What is on the other side of the river?"
It did not answer, slowly floated into the air and floated towards the other side of the canyon.
I was a little confused and asked Luo Fei: "What does it want to do?"
Luo Fei shook his head: "I don't know. But it really has no malice. I think if you walk along the direction it guides, you may be able to find Wang Dafu."
There is no other way now, so I called Liu Shangang and went to the canyon to check.
When I arrived at the edge of the canyon, I found a very thick stone pier not far away, with a steel bar three fingers tied on it. With the not-so-bright moonlight, I saw that the steel bar extending into the darkness opposite the canyon. Near the stone pier, there were some belts and steel cables.
Liu Shangang said: "This is a zipline. You can slide to the opposite side using steel cables and steel bars that cross the canyon."
I leaned over to the stone pier and looked at the bottom of the canyon. The light was too dark, and I could only vaguely see some trees. The rest was a large area of darkness, and the sound of running water came from the darkness.
"I'm going to make things difficult for Houzai again." I smiled helplessly.
Liu Shangang: "Brother Zai still has the problem of being afraid of heights now?"
I still smiled helplessly: "He probably won't get rid of this problem in his life."
When I returned with Liu Shangang the same route, I briefly told everyone about the situation in the canyon. When Liang Houzai heard that he wanted to zip through the canyon, his face became a little unnatural, but he didn't say much.
Back near the stone pier, we first tied the belt around the body, then put the steel cable on the steel bars that crossed the canyon, and finally used the steel cable to cover the belt on our body.
I was the first to leave. Before jumping off the ground, I said to Liang Houzai with some concern: "The belt and steel cable must be firmly attached."
Liang Houzai let out a long sigh: "Don't worry, I must be trapped tightly."
I looked at the darkness under my feet, took a deep breath, and kicked away from the ground with force. First, I slid for a distance by inertia, and then grabbed the steel bars with my hands and moved forward little by little.
The wind in the canyon was very strong, and the sound of running water under my body mixed with the sound of wind made people's scalp numb.
What I worry most now is Liang Houzai. I don’t know if he can hold on later, but when I turned around and looked in the direction where he was, there was only darkness left in my sight.
This canyon seemed to be difficult to transmit light. I could only see a small piece of steel bars nearby. Apart from this area, there was only a dark area left in my view.
Given my weight and the inability to determine the strength of the steel bars, this time, I was the only one on the zipline. When I arrived on the other side, the steel bars basically stopped shaking. Liu Shangang and Xian'er would only move, and Luo Fei and Liang Houzai finally set off.
Fortunately, the distance between the canyons is not too wide, so I have already stood on the land on the other side in a few minutes.
It was only after I passed the canyon that there was also a mountain village on this side of the canyon. Standing here, listening to the sound of flowing water and wind behind me, the place where I could see the light of fire. Under the reflection of the fire and moonlight, I could see that the architectural structure of this village was the same as the village on the opposite mountain, except that there was a dirt building at the top of the mountain.
Not long after, Liu Shangang and Xian'er also came over. While untiing the belt tied to her body, Xian'er shouted at me: "Do you need to lose weight? When you zipline, I feel that the steel bars are almost broken."
I said, "I don't have fat on my body, how can I lose it?"
Liu Shangang walked up to me, looked at the firelight in front, and then frowned: "It is said that there is firelight in this place, and you can see it even if you stand on the other side of the canyon. Why can't you see anything just now?"
I asked him, "Can't you even see it?"
Liu Shangang shook his head with some confusion: "Stand opposite, you can only see a ball of black."
There is definitely something wrong with this canyon!
At this time, I began to worry about Liang Houzai again. Luo Fei didn't have to worry. Even if she accidentally fell, she took out the soul-slaying banner to attract a yin wind to save her life, but Liang Houzai...
I leaned toward the edge of the canyon and looked into the darkness with concern.
Xian'er was still paying attention to my weight: "Youdao, how many pounds are you now."
I ignored her and just stared at the dark canyon in vain.
About ten minutes later, Luo Fei's figure appeared in my sight. She grabbed the steel bars with one hand and moved towards us little by little. At the same time, she also freed up her hand to grab the belt on Liang Houzai's body and moved forward with Liang Houzai.
Liang Houzai closed his eyes tightly, his hands and feet shrank together, obviously because he was so scared that he was too scared.
When Luo Fei was about to arrive in front of me, I quickly leaned out and pulled her and Liang Houzai over. After landing, Liang Houzai was still gasping for breath, with cold sweat on his forehead.
I patted him on the back and asked him, "Why are you afraid of being like this? I remember that you were more calm than this when you climbed chains in the Huang family's underground palace."
Liang Houzai waved his hand at me: "Oh, Huh--I don't know what's wrong. I always feel that this canyon seems to have a strong suction force, which is about to suck me in. No, no, I want to vomit."
After saying that, he leaned over and rushed to the side of the road, followed by a violent sound of vomiting.
Luo Fei said to me: "I also think something is wrong with this canyon."
I nodded and said, "I think it's wrong, but I don't know what's wrong."
Luo Fei thought for a while and said, "Since I entered this village, I have not sensed any Qi field. When I passed the canyon just now, I suddenly had an idea, could this canyon suck all the Qi field nearby?"
There is indeed this possibility.
When I looked back, I felt something was wrong: "It can't be said that there is no Qi field at all. The Yin and Yang Qi in the world are still there, but it's very light. In addition, there is also a very light Zhongzheng Qi field in the black water found in the backyard. Where did those black water come from?"
Luo Fei shook her head, unable to answer my question.
At this time, Liang Houzai came back with a slap in his chest: "It would be great if he could bring Li Renfeng, he should be able to see something."
I nodded, but felt a little helpless. I guess Li Renfeng's cold has not recovered yet.
Liu Shangang asked me: "Do you need me to go to the village to investigate?"
I said no, the fake Wang Dafu and others are not considered dangerous people, so don’t be so careful.
When Liu Shangang heard what I said, he was obviously a little reluctant. I knew he was used to being cautious. Suddenly, he couldn't relax at this time.
I didn't say anything more and walked straight to the fire that was closest to us.
The private house is next to the mountain road, and this fire light comes from an old house with a wide courtyard gate.
Although the architectural structure of the village in front of us is no different from the one we passed by before, all the houses look much dilapidated, and it is obvious that no one has lived in it for a long time.
I stood in front of the door and looked into the yard. I saw a torch standing in the center of the yard. As the flames pounded, the surrounding scenery also seemed a little complicated by the shaking of the flames.
There is indeed no one living here. I saw that the door of the house not far away was extremely rotten. There was a stone bench at the foot of the yard, which was covered with moss.
Liang Houzai frowned and said, "Light a torch in the uninhabited yard... What does this mean?"
I said: "It should be to improve the purity of the local yang energy. Luo Fei is right. The canyon does have the ability to absorb the Qi field. After the yang energy on the flame floats into the air, it floats towards the canyon. But the speed is very slow."
Luo Fei followed my words: "Why can't I feel the yang energy on the flame?"
I raised my chin toward the canyon: "It should be that canyon that blocks your perception of the Qi field. I am now open with my eyes on the sky, and I am relatively less affected. Go deeper and take a look."
After saying that, I continued to lead everyone deeper. During this period, I passed by several houses. The gates of some courtyards had collapsed due to years of decay. They were still intact and were completely open. In each courtyard, a torch was also lit.
I don’t understand what the purpose of such a layout is, but one thing is certain: so many torches are ignited at the same time, the yang energy in the mountain village in front of me has indeed been enhanced.
But the bright flames on the torch are jumping and flashing at a large amplitude. Whether there is wind here shows that those flames are all uncontrollable evil fires, and the yang energy here also belongs to the strong evil yang.
Liang Houzai frowned all the way, but he didn't say anything.
The mountain road that spread from the edge of the canyon extended to the depths of the village. When we walked to a slightly empty place, Liu Shangang waved his hand at me: "Some people, many people."
I stopped and looked at Liu Shangang, who added: "These people's steps were very fast, but they had not moved, as if... were standing still."
Speaking of this, he gave me a very confused look.
I was also confused and said to Liu Shangang: "Lead the way."
Liu Shangang did not hesitate, pointed to an alley not far away, and took us over.
The situation in the village is too strange. Even if the fake Wang Dafu is not a dangerous person, I must be careful. I deliberately lowered my footsteps when walking, and Liang Houzai and the others were also careful when they were acting.
When I walked through the alley, I saw a large number of flashing fires in front of me, and the sound of chaotic footsteps came from the front.
We approached a little further and came to an open space located in the center of the village. It seemed to be a square. There was a large gray building directly north of the open space. It looked like an ancestral temple or temple. There was a stone step outside the gate several meters wide. On both sides of the stone steps were two beast figures, which looked like dragons curled up on the ground, but there was only one eye on the dragon head.
I've never seen anything like that.
A large group of people in black clothes formed a circle in the open space, constantly taking steps in place, each holding a torch in his hand.
As the fire was pounding, I noticed that these people's movements were very stiff and their expressions were dull.
They looked like a group of zombies full of vitality.
Liang Houzai touched my shoulder, raised his hand and pointed to the crowd. I looked in the direction he pointed at me and saw a familiar face.
That person was the stupid son of the fake Wang Dafu. He was like everyone else now, holding a torch in his hand and taking steps in place with a dull expression.
Xian'er asked me in a low voice: "What are they doing?"
I shook my head: "I don't know, but I think they seem to be controlled by some kind of force. Do you still remember that person? He is the stupid son of the fake king Dafu."
