Chapter 083 Ghost Silk
How could the people on the Immortal Peak, who are not upholding the world and not supporting the world, disappear for no reason? Could it be that there are immortals living here and abducting people?
But why do immortals kidnap people? I never believe in ghosts and gods, so I ordered everyone to calm down and stop shouting.
Tsewang also encountered the same problem earlier.
"Where we are now, there is nowhere to run. Hold your hands and stay where you are for now. I will go forward and take a look at the situation."
When they heard my idea, they all nodded, held hands in twos and threes, and then sat on the floor. I asked Ren Yonghai to look at Tenzin, and then took Qiangba to the front to discuss countermeasures with Tsewang.
Everyone in the caravan was restless at the moment. Everyone stood in a row and no one wanted to be left alone. Ciwang was sitting on the edge of the cliff, holding a big pipe in his mouth and looking straight at the bottomless cliff. Deyang La Seeing me coming, Mu hurriedly waved: "What's going on behind you, is it..."
I nodded and walked to Ciwang. He slowly raised his head, glanced at me and said, "I have only encountered this kind of thing once, and that was..."
Deyang Ram's eyes turned red: "Uncle Ciwang, what on earth is going on? Before we set off on the road, we offered three kinds of wine and five grains to the mountain gods and river gods everywhere. This... this is so open-minded. , people will be gone.”
"Have you seen with your own eyes people disappear?"
"How can this be possible? When you are not paying attention, in the blink of an eye, the person disappears." Deyang Ram said, "It is impossible to fall. If a stone falls, there will be a sound. People are not wood. You still don’t know how to shout!”
My attention was focused on Ciwang's unfinished words. He had reservations about the Heiyun Village before, and this time he said that he had encountered this kind of situation before, which made me have to doubt his previous experience.
At this time, a horse breeder suggested that he go back down the mountain quickly and find a shaman to drive away the evil spirits.
Tsewang shouted loudly: "It's a joke. I haven't figured out the matter yet. Tsewang gave it to me for free! Damn it, I'm walking straight, I want to see where the wild ghost dares to pick it up." My men and horses?”
As soon as he said this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in my mind. I looked around and asked him: "Where are the horses? It's so shameful. Both horses and mules are here?"
Tsewang also seemed to have remembered something. He stood up and whistled, and soon there were whistles in response.
"Everything is there, only the people are missing. Cirang and the people on the tail are gone." Ciwang's group came out, a total of ten people. Three were missing at once. At this moment, only he, Deyang Ram, and Dan were left. Zeng, Qianba and the three big men raising horses suffered heavy losses.
I looked at the Immortal Peak in the dark night and analyzed: "It is impossible for people to disappear for no reason. Either they went down, or they ran up there."
"Above?" Deyang Ram raised his head and looked at the sky, "We are still a hundred or so meters away from the mountainside ropeway. We can't see anything above except the branches growing horizontally. How can anyone walk on their own and reach the top?" It went to heaven, stop talking nonsense."
Tsewang frowned and clapped his big hands: "If it doesn't go up or down, could it be that the mountain stone opened its mouth and started eating people?"
"Eating people?" As soon as he finished speaking, the entire team fell silent. The people who were leaning on the mountain wall moved their backs far away as if they had seen a ghost. They were afraid that the rock behind them would really open up a huge mouth. , swallow them up.
It is not impossible to say that stones can eat people. The stone statue that attacked Xu Yaxian last time,
Can't they move instantly? There are also two monsters that can escape from the ground. Thinking of this, I walked to the mountain wall and touched it with my hand. The rough touch of the rock suddenly came over me, and I kicked it a few times.
, it’s solid, and it doesn’t look like there’s any mechanism hidden in it.
"How is it?" Xu Yaxian asked.
I shook my head, "It's just a stone, without any mechanism."
It was cold and cold at night, and we were hung on the mountainside. Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the entire team did not move at all. Everyone's nerves were stretched to the point of bursting.
Ci Wang said to everyone with a cold face: "Cheer up, everyone, this big-ass Feng Lang is putting on a dead face one by one. Who are you trying to show!"
He pointed at the sky above his head and said angrily: "It's not that far from the ropeway. All you men, get up and let's go!"
His roar was like thunder piercing the ears, shaking people's souls all of a sudden. The remaining members of the caravan showed expressions as if they were just waking up from a dream, stood up and shouted, "Hurry up!", "I'm afraid of a ball" and so on.
words.
A slight smile appeared on Deyang Lamu's face. She clapped her hands and said to everyone: "There is something strange on the mountain, but it is no match for us to break the metal together. Everyone pulls up your hands and forms a line from front to back. Brothers help each other. Let's first
Let’s talk about it after we get on the ropeway.”
The caravan members tied each other with ropes and tied a knot at the waist.
"We don't have any equipment like mountaineering picks on hand. If your people keep going like this, if there is a slight difference and one of them falls, the loss will be huge."
"Yellow-mouthed kid, bah!" Tenzin laughed ferociously, "I'm here to prevent deserters."
"What if?"
Tenzin's face was slapped hard, and it took him a long time to utter out: "It's life-threatening, so I have to do it!" After saying that, without explaining anything, he went to lead the team.
I turned to Ren Yonghai and said: "Old Ren, Ciwang is taking a risk by doing this. I looked at the current situation and I definitely can't act recklessly. But at this time, I have another idea brewing in my mind."
"What's the plan?"
"You see, horses and cargo have always been very safe because of their weight. The horse plus the cargo weighs at least three hundred pounds. And an adult only weighs two hundred kilograms at most. Now everyone is connected together
Son, if there is to be a surprise attack, who will be its target?"
"It must be the one who is alone."
"That's right!" I continued, "I have visited many large tombs and mysterious tombs, and I don't know how many times I have seen the trick of disappearing into thin air. But it is still the first one in the wild. There are no tigers or leopards on this mountain, so
I haven’t seen any strange carnivorous plants, let alone hiding traps. To be honest, I’m filled with doubts right now, and I have to find out the reason why they disappeared.”
"you mean......"
"Sit back and wait."
So a few of us secretly slowed down and gradually fell behind the team.
I looked back at the dark mountain road behind me. I couldn't see anything more than five steps away.
Ren Yonghai held up a searchlight and looked at the retreating team and said: "We are now considered to be at the bottom. If nothing happens again, we will be sorry for the brothers we lost just now."
I didn't say anything, asked for a torch alone, and watched the surrounding environment silently. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, we did not prepare any self-defense equipment with us. The only thing I had on me was the one I brought out from the ancient tomb last time.
"Vicious Soldier", this thing is so evil
Door, I would like to see if it is my sword that is evil or its evil nature.
I pulled out the dagger from my short boots, and the cold light splashed in the night.
At this time, my eyes suddenly blurred, as if something was shaking by.
At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, just thinking it was a moth or something like an insect trying to attack the light in my hand. But I stretched out my hand and scratched it two or three times in front of my eyes, but there was still something covering my eyes like fog.
I suddenly realized that something was wrong, and I tensed up, not daring to move. Ren Yonghai was walking in front of me, but when he saw that I was silent, he hurriedly turned around. When he saw me, he took a step back, and then raised his hand
Turning on the searchlight and approaching me slowly, he said: "Lin Kun, don't move."
My heart suddenly jumped into my throat. I maintained my previous posture and asked him what he saw.
"There is something on your shoulder." Ren Yonghai gritted his teeth, his voice trembled a few times, and tried to stay calm, "Don't look to the left."
I stiffened my neck. Although I was very anxious and didn't know which king of hell was resting on my shoulders, I didn't dare to relax mentally. If someone was killed, it would be an unjust death.
"What the hell is this?"
Ren Yonghai stared at my shoulder and said: "Silk, silk getting thicker and thicker."
Silk is silk, and it is called silk because it is thin. What does "getting thicker" mean? I blinked at him and expressed my confusion. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. From now on, there are more on your shoulders."
A thread hanging from the sky is getting thicker and thicker now..."
"Threads getting thicker and thicker?" I was puzzled by what Ren Yonghai said, and I thought: "Could it be that the transparent objects shaking in front of my eyes just now are these weird silks? In nature, there are not many things that can spin silk and form cocoons.
.If you really want to talk about it, of course the first one is spiders. Could it be——"
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be horrified, and thought to myself, "Isn't it really a spider?"
Compared with other animals, even insects, I am more opposed to spiders, because after Wu Chengen's artistic creation in "Journey to the West", this thing can easily be associated with a snake-hearted beauty. I don't want to die in the end.
In the silk hole.
I suppressed the fear in my heart, slowly raised my right hand, and leaned the fire towards my shoulder. Ren Yonghai nodded towards me, he and I had the same idea, no matter whether you are a spider or a sow, a fire
If you go down, the strong spider silk should be broken!
Because I was afraid of being wrapped around my neck, I didn't dare to turn my head to look. I could only rely on Ren Yonghai's expression to judge how bad the situation behind me was.
His face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and he looked like he might sacrifice himself generously at any time, which made me believe that he was in big trouble.
The torch was burning close to my head, and I could even smell the burnt smell of my own hair.
However, Ren Yonghai's expression did not change at all. I was full of confusion. The torch was almost close to my ears. Let alone spider silk, it was steel wire and iron wire that should have melted for a while!
Ren Yonghai's expression became more and more serious, and I could even see sweat starting to form on his forehead, and the sweat flowed down his cheeks to his neck, and the silver was shining...
My eyes lit up and I almost shouted out. At some point, an almost imperceptible silver thread appeared on Ren Yonghai's shoulder. If the searchlight in his hand hadn't been too bright, creating a huge reflection, no one else would have noticed it.
Undetectable.
