Here Lies The Wicked

Chapter 424 Old Forest in A Deserted Village

The earliest records of the heavenly blessing appeared in the eastern jin dynasty.

As early as the eastern jin dynasty, there were already ten winters, thirty-six small caves, and seventy-two Blessed Land in the famous mountain of taoist resort.

In the myth, it was the immortal's training ground.

Among the 36 small caves, the xuling cave was located in the outstanding land of bashu, mount emei.

However, the peace monk was in a troubled world.

Now, mount emei, the most famous mountain in the world, has become one of the four famous buddhist mountains.

However, the taoist temple became a sparsely populated place.

Even the ancient monuments and daoists were pushed down by the buddhist temple and became a temple dedicated only to buddha and bodhisattva.

One could not help but sigh and think of the old saying:

In troubled times, the taoist priest went down the mountain to save the world, and the monk closed the door to avoid disaster.

The monk went out to fight for incense and fire.

However, there are two sides to the problem. Monks come out to fight for incense and fire, and buddhist temples are built all over the mountains and rivers. The more it shows that today is a peaceful and prosperous time, and the country is rich and the people are strong.

The country was flourishing.

Ba shu.

The sky of xuling cave.

At this time, the atmosphere here was very tense. With the big movement that the cave sky opened first than Blessed Land, it became the center of the storm.

It became the focus of the world.

At this moment, various forces, international organizations, all turned their attention to this cave.

The sky of xuling cave, overnight, shocked the whole world.

Ba shu,

Mount emei,

It became the focus of countless people overnight.

A large number of intelligence personnel began to be active here. In the originally sparsely populated area, all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, ants, ghosts, and gods suddenly appeared.

The tide was raging.

...

The sky of xuling cave,

In the middle of the night, the mountains were quiet and cold, so quiet that nothing could be seen in the dark.

The only sound that could be heard was from far, near, high, or low, a terrifying sound that came from the unknown source of fame in the mountains and forests.

It was like a bird's cry, and it was like the faint echo of a hollow rock...

All kinds of horrible sounds lingered, wandered, and stopped in the dark world where the scenery could not be seen. They kept coming and going, refusing to leave.

The sky of xuling cave was not peaceful for a hundred miles.

These unseen and terrifying sounds had always been cold and muffled.

This is a deserted village in the mountains tens of miles away.

Ten rooms and ten empty rooms.

It had been abandoned for decades, with vines everywhere, old trees rooted, and old houses collapsed.

The road still retained the stone road of the past, which was cut out one by one by the labor of the past, not the cement road of the modern kind.

The stone road was covered with moss.

The roots of the old trees were as thick as a baby's arm, and they were raised high and hard.

The deserted village was empty and quiet, without a single person.

In the darkness, it was quiet and dead. Above the empty village, it was especially dark and quiet.

There was not even the sound of insects or birds chirping in the vicinity, but it was a fitting line from Liu Zongyuan's ancient poem of the tang dynasty:

Thousands of birds flew away and thousands of paths disappeared.

Suddenly!

Outside the exceptionally quiet deserted village, there were a few soft sounds, like the sound of clothes brushing over grass and shrubs.

Not long after, three dark shadows entered the deserted village in the mountains.

These three shadows seemed to be very familiar with this place. They walked in the deserted village with a familiar road, and in the end, a bright light appeared in front of them.

There was light in the deserted village that had been abandoned for decades!

The light came from a stone house built near the mountain.

Perhaps it was because of the mountain behind them, so even though the stone house left a heavy smell of time, most of it remained intact. It was also one of the few houses in the deserted village with better integrity.

The white light shook in the dark, as if it was not the source of light from the lighting equipment.

The window of the stone house had long disappeared, leaving only a twisted opening. Behind the window, a few figures reflected on the wall, as if someone was inside?

The three shadows soon came out of the house with the only light source, and the wooden door of the house was already half rotten. The three shadows entered the house without warning.

When the three dark shadows entered the house, they could see that the so-called light source was actually a white flame, flaring in the air.

Below the white flame was a rotten wooden table, next to which sat a tall, burly man with a rough face.

The man wore a skull mask covering half of his face below his eyes.

At this time, under the illumination of the light source, he finally saw the three dark shadows, who were also dressed in the same strange way.

At this time, there were four people gathered in the house.

"The sky of the xuling cave is too heavily guarded. We haven't been able to find a chance to sneak in."

One of the three people who came back spoke in a western language, not mandarin.

These people spoke with strong accents and were all tall and strong, like they came from the ice and snow of eastern europe?

"There's one more thing. We were going to change the waterway and sneak in, but we ran into another group of unidentified people. They entered the waterway before us. Because we didn't know the identity of the other party, we didn't retreat first to avoid unnecessary conflicts and increase the risk of exposure."

The tall man with a white flame overhead, who wanted to be the leader of these people, looked up at his watch and said, "I'll give you an hour off. After midnight, prepare plan b."

Just as the three of them were resting to get enough energy, one of them suddenly urinated and wanted to go outside to relieve himself.

"631, 824, Stay with him. Don't be alone."

"This village was abandoned a long time ago. There must be some special reason for the entire village to be deserted."

The white flame man said to two of them.

These people only had code names and no names.

With a strict sense of organization.

The two of them had been out running all day and were already tired and wanted to take a break and squint, so when they were called out, only a pair of eyebrows appeared under their masks, frowning as if they were unwilling. But they did not refute, as if afraid of the dignity of the white flame man, and still stood up and followed him out.

With a creak, the half-opened wooden door was pushed open by the reluctant 824 with an impatient hand.

Creak... The old wooden door that had lost its thrust returned to its original position, swaying with inertia in the empty and silent deserted village.

It was as if an old man was sitting on a bamboo chair in the middle of the night, shaking back and forth.

As time passed,

About six or seven minutes, squeak... The shabby half of the wooden door suddenly pushed gently into the room, making a sound like the old man's teeth.

It was as if someone had suddenly nudged the door.

"793, Is that you?"

The white flame man glanced at the door, but it was silent outside and no one answered.

Just then, a cold night wind poured into the house from outside the door...

The white flame man frowned.

The three of them went out for so long, but they didn't come back. He realized something was wrong. He stood up and decided to go out to look for someone.
