Chapter 785: An Unknown Place
Jiang Yishui used a secret method to escape, and the speed was too fast. According to Yaya's instructions, Bai Yang and the kitten chased him for three days without seeing the other party's trace. .
In three days, Bai Yang chased hundreds of thousands of miles across more than a dozen state capitals of the Chen Dynasty. Jiang Yishui had already left the area where the satellite was installed.
Bai Yang stopped chasing and killing Jiang Yishui on the top of a mountain that day, looking ahead with an uncertain expression.
It wasn't that Bai Yang gave up chasing and killing Jiang Yishui, but that the area in front of him made him feel very uncomfortable.
It was a barren mountain range that stretched to the horizon. The gray and black mist rose above the sky, and the land was lifeless, with very few plants. It was desolate and silent, which made people feel depressing.
"Yeah..."
Yaya's little finger pointed to the front and eagerly expressed that Jiang Yishui was in the mountain range in front of him, and even pulled Bai Yang's clothes to indicate that he was very close, as long as he went there, he could be caught.
For the sake of caution, Bai Yang did not act immediately, but took out the map of the Chen Dynasty to check where it was.
At a glance, Bai Yang's brows frowned even deeper. The map clearly showed that this place was already the border of the Chen Dynasty, with an area larger than a state. Fork, as if warning people not to set foot on this place lightly.
"What's wrong, master?" Kitten asked puzzled.
Putting away the map, Bai Yang looked at the dead and desolate mountains in front of him and said: "The front is no longer part of the territory of the Chen Dynasty. Opposite this place is a kingdom called the Great Moon Dynasty. On the left is the Jiang Dynasty, and on the right is the Canglang Dynasty. We At your feet is the Chen Dynasty, and this place belongs to the junction of the four kingdoms!"
"We are now in Yunzhou, where the army of the Chen Dynasty and the Canglang Dynasty are at a stalemate!" Kitten said in a low voice. She had also looked at the map before, but only now did she realize it.
"Yes, originally along the Chen Dynasty's cloud state to the north there are nearly ten state capitals that belonged to the Chen Dynasty, but with Xue Wufeng's betrayal, they all fell to the Canglang Dynasty," Bai Yang nodded.
"Then what should we do next? Do we want to continue hunting down Jiang Yishui?" Kitten asked.
Bai Yang shook his head and said, "I feel something is wrong with this place. It's best not to set foot on it until you figure it out. First, look for someone nearby to inquire about it!"
Taking a deep look at the barren mountains in front of him, Bai Yang turned around and left with the kitten. Anyway, there is Yaya who can't escape in the river, so let's find out where it is first.
It is understandable to ask someone about the situation in that area, but Bai Yang was even more surprised that the area close to that area was deserted for nearly a thousand miles, not to mention the villages, not even a human hair could be seen!
This made Bai Yang more aware of the extraordinaryness of that place while being surprised.
Hard work paid off, Bai Yang finally found a village closest to that area after spending nearly half a day.
The village is very small, and there are only about 20 households in total.
Stepping into the village, the overall feeling here gives Bai Yang an inexplicable feeling besides the simplicity of ordinary villages. If he insists on using one word to describe it, it is evil.
Yes, evil door!
Here, there is a black pattern painted on the gate of every household. It is so dark that I don’t know what the specific painting is, and every door is lit with incense, and it will be replaced with a new one before it burns out. Yes, causing the whole village to be filled with the smell of burning incense.
Perhaps it is because this place is almost isolated from the outside world and no one comes here all the year round. Whenever Bai Yang and the others appear in the village, there are not many children in the village.
After the adults found out, they quickly pulled their children behind them and looked at Bai Yang vigilantly, they were very afraid.
"We took the liberty to come here just to inquire about the situation, without any malice." Bai Yang cupped his hands at a middle-aged man in front who was protecting a child behind him.
"Honored guest from afar,
What do you want to know? "The middle-aged man in sackcloth asked cautiously.
Pointing to the dead mountain range, Bai Yang asked, "Brother, do you know where that direction is?"
When Bai Yang asked this question, he obviously saw that the pupils on the opposite side shrank and became extremely frightened, he pulled his child back and shook his head vigorously, saying: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything! "
Then, all the adults and children around ran away with a huff and disappeared...
This is a bit embarrassing.
"Master, people here seem to be very taboo about that place, they dare not even talk about it," Kitty said with a puzzled expression.
Nodding his head, Bai Yang swept away his thoughts, and walked straight to the most dilapidated wooden house in the village. There was an old man with gray hair who was dying. Maybe he could learn something from him.
The old man was so old that it took ten seconds for Bai Yang and the others to react.
"Old man, is there only one person at home?" Bai Yang asked the almost demented old man lying on the reclining chair.
"Dead, all dead..." the old man muttered, not sure if he was talking to himself or answering Bai Yang's question.
Glancing at Bai Yang, the kitten stepped forward and squatted beside the old man and asked, "Old man, do you know where that direction is?"
As soon as these words came out, the old man trembled all over, regained some clarity, and tremblingly said: "That is an unknown place, that is an unknown place, let's go, let's go..."
"Old man, can you tell us more about it?" Kitten asked again.
"An unknown place, that is an unknown place, let's go, let's go..." The old man repeated this sentence, his whole body trembling.
Bai Yang frowned, the old man had already run out of oil, so he took out a drop of dragon yuan, peeled off a little, put it into a bottle of wine, then took out a cup and went over to drink it for the old man, the old man couldn't bear it too much.
With this wine containing a trace of dragon essence, the old man's complexion suddenly became rosy, and even his wrinkles seemed to be much less dilated. Bai Yang estimated that he could live to be at least ten years old!
At this moment the old man was completely awake, looked at Bai Yang got up energetically and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, nobleman."
"You don't need to be like this, it's just a matter of raising your hands. I want to inquire about the situation in that direction. Can you tell me?" Bai Yang asked.
The old man looked in that direction, trembled again, then sat down silently for a long time, Bai Yang waited patiently.
After being silent for a full ten minutes, the old man looked at Bai Yang with taboo and inexplicable, and said, "My lord, our ancestors have lived here for generations, but we don't really know that place, only know that it is an unknown place. Many people like you inquired about that place, then went there, and never came out again, I have lived more than 60 yuan and have not seen anyone come out!"
Nodding his head, Bai Yang frowned and asked, "Apart from these, are you really not sure about anything?"
"I don't know, we have never dared to go in that direction, my lord, I also advise you not to go, that place is really unknown, you just have to wait until night to find out," the old man said with a trembling voice.
Nodding thoughtfully, Bai Yang said, "If that's the case, I'm sorry."
Leaving the courtyard where the old man lived, under the questioning eyes of the kitten, Bai Yang said: "There is a saying in my hometown that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of your eyes. Let's wait until evening. Anyway, it's getting dark now."
"Hmm" Kitten naturally had no objection.
So Bai Yang took the kitten and left the village, chose a place with higher terrain and began to wait, while observing the situation in the village.
After observation, people in this village are really taboo about that direction, and try to avoid that direction no matter what they do.
Time passed by little by little, and the sun was slowly setting, but the people in the village closed their doors and closed their houses when the sun had just set and hadn't completely set!
Not knowing what was going on, Bai Yang continued to wait...
The moment the sun completely set, Bai Yang suddenly felt the world was dark and cold, making people very uncomfortable, but even if he opened his eyes, he couldn't detect where this feeling came from!
"It's a strange feeling, young master, let's leave." The kitten's voice trembled slightly.
"I'm here, it's fine, wait a little longer, if the situation is not right, we will leave immediately," Bai Yang said, hugging the kitten tightly.
The sky here gets dark very quickly, and it takes less than 20 minutes for the sun to go down before you can't see your fingers!
After the sky was completely dark, the whole village became silent like a ghost town, not even the chirping of insects and birds.
"Master, did you hear any noise?" In the dark, the kitten hugged Bai Yang nervously.
Listening attentively, Bai Yang faintly heard a weeping voice coming from a distance, and it seemed that someone was whispering in a low voice.
"I want to see what is playing tricks!"
Bai Yang didn't believe in evil, so he took the kitten soaring into the sky and flew in the direction of the sound.
But the voice seemed to be echoing in the ears, and it seemed to be in the sky. Bai Yang flew thousands of miles without finding the source, and finally almost set foot on the dead mountain over there.
Stopping in his tracks, even Bai Yang felt his hair stand on end, it was so fucking evil.
Taking a deep breath, he felt that it was necessary to go back to the village to find out the situation in this area carefully. Bai Yang believed that if the ancestors of that village had lived there for generations, they must know something, even if he used some means to figure it out!
However, when Bai Yang returned to the village with the kitten, something unexpected happened.
"Master, there is no life in the village, so everyone seems to be... dead!" Kitten said anxiously.
With a sweep of thought power, Bai Yang's heart was covered with a haze.
Just like what the little cat said, everyone in the village died, no matter the elderly or children, they all died silently, and even when they died, their movements and expressions were the same as they were when they were alive!
What the hell is going on?
