Chapter 5 Barren Mountain Stone Wall
Murong Lingfeng said concisely, and it was not appropriate for Yun Mo to pretend that he couldn't understand.
A full copper basin of scorpion eggs shocked the entire mansion.
Meizhou Prefecture has more men and few women, which is disproportionate. Some are strong men who are bachelors. Suddenly, a group of scorpions ran out to compete for their wife with them. That's not bad!
The prefect's office investigated one by one, but no more girls were found with symptoms like the eldest granddaughter of the Chentou family, but even more difficult situations occurred. I didn't care just now, thinking that the scorpion had kidnapped children, so this investigation didn't matter, and more than a dozen young girls in the flower season disappeared.
"It seems that catching children is just a cover. Their real purpose is these young girls of sixteen or seventeen."
The situation is getting worse.
Yun Mo, Chu and Jin, Mo Ying surrounded the table, staring at the Meishan map on the table and frowned.
"This is the official road, and no abnormality has appeared in recent days. It should not be here." Mo Ying drew a big fork in the south.
Chu and Jin encircled a large area in the northwest, "This place belongs to Yongzhou Prefecture and is the jurisdiction of the Qinglin Army. We can ask them to assist in the search and rescue."
"Scorpions like to move in cold and humid places," Mo Ying pointed to the easternmost Chiyan Peak. "There is slurry under Chiyan Peak, and the temperature is extremely high. The mountains, rocks, sand and soil are hot and hot. It is contrary to the scorpion's living habits. We can reduce troops appropriately here. We should focus on search and rescue here."
Chu Jin looked at the Tianzong Peak he pointed out and frowned, "It seems that Su Ying saw the big scorpion in Tianzong Peak that day."
Yun Mo supported his head with one hand, and thoughtful after listening to his analysis, "Has Song Ye not come back yet?" It shouldn't be, Mo Ying has returned, he should have arrived earlier than Mo Ying.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard anxious footsteps outside the door. Su Ying pushed open the door, held the door frame, shouted in anger, "Prince, no, no, General Song... has entered Meishan."
Chu Jin looked at the dark night outside, "On the night, what did he do when he ran to the mountains with darkness? Didn't he agree to search for the mountains again tomorrow morning?"
"Song Xiao is gone!" Su Ying stretched out her right hand, and a silver button was lying in her palm. "General Song found it in a pit, so I'll hand it over to the prince."
Yun Mo picked up the button and looked at Chu Jin. The button was engraved with the Song family's emblem, and Song Xiao's clothes were made of this kind of button.
Indeed, they couldn't get in at the Tudaokou, but Xiaoxiao was not big enough, so there should be no problem. This little kid likes to join in the fun and always causes trouble. I don't know if he was caught by a scorpion or he got in by himself. No wonder Song Ye was in a hurry to go into the mountain to find his younger brother. If it was too late, he wouldn't really make any trouble.
"Did Song Ye go there by himself?"
"No, he is taking Di Ting."
Yun Mo nodded, and Song Ye was still very cautious.
Unfortunately, Su Ying hasn't finished speaking yet.
"Mr. Murong also wants to climb into the dirt road to see. Feiying and Daimo are stopping her, but I don't know if she can hold on. Prince..." As soon as he started, he felt a cold wind blowing in front of him. He looked at the house where his prince was there.
Chu Jin touched his chin and smiled meaningfully, "It's time to notify the princess, it's time to prepare."
When Yun Mo arrived, Feiying and Daimo were squeezing at the entrance of the dirt road, stretching their arms and anxiously, "Young master, you come out quickly, it's very dirty inside."
"Yes, young master. This earth path is not strong. You can come out first. It's not too late to find a master to dig the pit a bigger one before going." The two little girls were so anxious that their faces turned red. They didn't dare to try too hard to hurt her, and they didn't dare to let go. After relaxing a little, the young master was so sure that he was gone.
Just as he was worried, he stretched out his hand from the middle of the two, grabbed Murong Lingfeng's ankle and pulled the person out of the earth path, shook it up and down, and a large piece of linen fell off.
Yun Mo kicked, "What is this?"
Murong Lingfeng supported his hands on the ground and scratched his claws, "Ah, let me down."
Yun Mo looked down at her, with a confused look on his face. He squatted down and gently placed her on the ground, "What kind of demon are you doing?"
Murong Lingfeng took off the burlap bag tied to his head, "Do you think it's dirty?" She pulled the snow satin shirt she had just changed. The last one was dirty, and there was no need to change it. The head could not be dirty. The young master liked to clean it. Murong Lingfeng specially asked the villagers for two clean burlaps, one large and one small, and made a cloak. The small one sewed it into a bag and dug three holes and put it on his head.
Don’t say, she really has a solution, but… “If you think it’s dirty, you can still drill it in!”
So, is this a combination of cleanliness and curious babies?
Murong Lingfeng was angry and refused to speak.
Yun Mo raised his hand and took off the twine from her head, "You are not afraid that the scorpion will shoot back and get back to bite you."
Murong Lingfeng subconsciously touched his nose, "No way?" How could Scorpion know that she was in the turtle path?
"That's not to be prepared!" Yun Mo pulled the person up, patted her clothes, and dusted the remaining twine. "You go back to the house to rest first, it will be dawn, and there will be no hurry in one or two hours. Song Ye brought Di Ting to the mountain, and there should be clues soon."
"Diting? What is Diting? Is Diting? A divine beast?" Obviously, the young master has a new focus.
Seeing that she was finally unreasonable and willing to go back to the room, Yun Mo patiently explained to her, "Diting is the captain of the Black Cavalry Reconnaissance Team, a person. His ancestors made a living by robbing tombs, and they have developed a good ear after several generations," Yun Mo pointed to his ears, "No matter what the land, Diting knocked his hammer and knew that the underground was empty, whether there was a source of water, whether there was an ancient tomb or something hidden..."
Feiying and Daimo stood behind and looked at their backs and opened their mouths in disbelief. Is this still the coldest prince on their face? Is it fake?
"Who is that young man? The prince is so gentle to her?" As soon as they arrived, Su Ying called over to help pull people. Until now, they still have clouds and mountains and mists around and can't figure out the situation.
Chu Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "At present, he should be considered our prince's daughter."
Feiying and Daimo were shocked, "Do you have a little princess?" She looks like she has a fifteen or sixteen years old. Then how old is her prince and she has a baby? The two girls can't count it on their fingers.
"I don't know when my dad will become a lover."
Song Ye and Di Ting led a small team of men to circle around the Meishan Mountain, which really made them find some clues.
Di Ting glanced at the little button that Song Ye had tightly held in his hand, "This should be the last one, right?"
There are only a few buttons on Song Xiao's body. It is not easy to point them to this place. It depends on their own later.
This kid probably got into it himself, but when he thought of the obvious traces of struggle on the ground just now, Song Ye's heart was so nervous. Is it easy for him to have such a worry-free brother? How many heads have he lost for him! Yesterday, Chu Jin shook his head and said that if he fell out, he would be bald.
Di Ting patted Song Ye’s shoulder comfortably, “Don’t worry, Xiaoxiao is smart, there will be no problem.”
As he said that, he lay down on the ground again and chiseled it hard with a big hammer, "Hmm?"
"What's wrong?" Song Ye asked.
Di Ting listened again uncertainly, "This place is complicated, it seems that there is an ancient tomb."
"Isn't it normal to repair a tomb in the mountains?"
Di Ting shook his head, "The tomb is to be cultivated in Feng Shui treasure land to save the dead and pray for future generations. The gods and Buddhas in this Tianzong Peak are in front of the gods and Buddhas, and are the demons and earth, which is a great disaster. Moreover, the soil here is not conducive to corpses storage, and will accelerate decay. Is the tomb built here to facilitate the deception of corpses?"
Song Ye didn’t understand the Feng Shui theory very well, but since there was an ancient tomb, “Will the Scorpion Army hide in the ancient tomb?”
Di Ting touched his chin and seemed a little embarrassed, "This is exactly what I want to say. Just now, three echoes appeared, two were duller, and one was longer."
"What's the meaning?"
"The more dull the echo, the longer the tomb passage is, the longer it will be repaired. So there are not only tombs here, but more than one. One of them has to be hundreds or thousands of years old; the other is a new tomb, which is set within a hundred years. As for the longness, it means that the corridor has not been completed and the digging time is not long. It is very likely that this is the one who has been passed by the Scorpion Army."
The two discussed it and decided to walk along the new road. The more they walked, Di Ting's brows became deeper and deeper. The three corridors were always entangled. Could it be that the Scorpion Army was looking for the entrance to the ancient tomb?
The echo stopped abruptly not far away, unable to tell the difference or make it clear, as if it was hitting a hard iron stone, with only a crisp sound. Diting stood up and looked at the cave in front of him, letting something called out to them.
Song Xiao took the lead in entering the cave and illuminated the entire cave with a torch. The cave was not big or deep, with weeds and dilapidated, and the wet and sticky soil stuck on the shoes and could not be shaken off. Water droplets hung on the moss on the stone wall emitted a wet smell of mold. The air eroded the skin, and the itching immediately spread throughout the body from bottom to top.
Di Ting subconsciously wanted to quit, not because of this harsh environment, but because of the inexplicable fear in his heart. He didn't know what was inside, but his intuition that had been hidden in his bones for several lifetimes kept reminding him that this was definitely not a place to stay for a long time.
"Song Ye..."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Ye waved his hand and interrupted him, "Mu Ling, come and see."
Mu Ling is Di Ting's real name. The Mu family has lived by robbing tombs for generations and has a wealth of wealth, but was wiped out by enemies in the previous generation. Mu Ling was picked up by Yun Mo from the pile of corpses. Since that day, he has no longer been the eldest master of the Mu family who calls for wind and rain, and has willingly become the ear of the Holy Prince. They are used to calling him Di Ting, both for protection and for fear that he will think of the past.
Song Ye called out Mu Ling now, and there was only one situation...
Di Ting walked forward and stood side by side with Song Ye, staring at the stone wall opposite, and his hand holding the hammer tightened unconsciously until his fingers were white and his fingers were almost cracked.
The totem exposed in the center of the stone wall overlapped with the broken fragments in the secret room in my memory. Mu Ling suddenly seemed to have returned to that night with firelights, with hissings and sorrows endlessly.
The weight from his shoulders woke him up from his nightmare. Song Ye held his shoulder and pulled him aside, instructing the black cavalry behind him to "clear the stone wall."
"yes."
Di Ting looked at the stone wall intently, and his usual smile had long been replaced by serious and restrainedness. He felt that the mystery of extermination that might have been remembered for twelve years in his heart would be solved in this desolate cave.
Song Ye also stood by in silence. After twelve years, they inquired from many sources and only got a few words. What secret is hidden in the stone wall in front of them is really scary and expectant.
Seeing the totem gradually being cleared out and presented in front of them, both of them unconsciously held their breath.
Meizhou Mansion Inn.
The young man who was originally quarreling with Yun Mo for a midnight snack and didn't want to sleep suddenly shook his mind. Yun Mo, who was snatching the quilt with her, almost fell to the ground because of her sudden letting go.
"Hey, it's so despicable!" Yun Mo stood up with the table. Just as he was about to scold her, he found that Murong Lingfeng looked not right and looked out the window with his eyes blankly.
The young man was stunned for a long time, suddenly took a breath, jumped off the bed, put on his boots, and snatched out of the door.
Yun Mo looked at the shaking door helplessly, "Can't you tell me in advance?" Even though he complained, he still grabbed his cloak and chased him out.
Murong Lingfeng whistled, and the sound of horse hooves behind him sounded rhythmically. Mu Tangtang ran over like a cloud. The young master grabbed the reins and turned over. The white robe drew an elegant arc and landed on the horse's back. The white horse rushed out of the inn and disappeared into the darkness.
Jueying followed him out in wonder. He was having a good chat, but why did the girl suddenly run away?
Yun Mo slapped its head at the right time and gently kicked it with both legs, "Why don't you keep up!"
Needless to say, Jueying will not fall, she will shake off her mane and spread her hooves and leave - [Beauty, wait for me!].
Murong Lingfeng ran all the way, regardless of how dangerous the night mountain road was, and crossed the city gate and headed towards Tianzong Peak. His heroic eyebrows were locked under the white jade mask, and he held the reins in both hands and tried to force himself. The muscles in his body were unconsciously tensed.
The white horse under him seemed to feel the nervousness of his master and did not dare to relax at all. As Murong Lingfeng pulled the reins in his hand, he quickly rushed to the cliff and rushed into the cave.
Murong Lingfeng then rushed into the air with the rush of the white horse, raised his legs and kicked it with a heavy force, and knocked it on Song Ye and Di Ting's head without hesitation, kicking them directly onto the stone wall.
"court death!"
Chapter completed!
