Chapter 468 Past Events
“How do you say it?” Li Chuan asked.
Yang Shan said: "He said that when the general attacked the Si Bing Cave, he did not go well. He fought for three months and failed to defeat it. The Liuyu Demon has great abilities and has powerful hands. There is a magic weapon, a pair of bells. When the bells ring, the wind and sand will rise, making it difficult for the soldiers to walk forward, let alone fight."
"After a stalemate like this for a while, the Liuyu Demon took the initiative. The general sued for peace and promised that he would restrain his men and never go against Jiang Chao. "
"The general didn't want to fight at first, but when he got up that morning, he heard some commotion outside the camp. , he walked over and saw that it was an old man from a nearby village. He brought the people in the village and sent them all their remaining food and belongings. They asked the general to kill the Liuyu Demon and avenge the people in the village. ”
"The old man said that the Liuyu Demon would arrest people in the village every year to dig mud in the underground river under Sibing Cave. The arrested people never came back. Within a few years, they were the only ones left in the village. The old, the weak, the sick and the young who can't move and can't take the knife."
"He said they are not afraid of death. Their ancestors have lived here for generations and know a path leading to Sibing Cave. They are willing to take the lead. Lead the way and serve the general for the rest of his life."
After Yang Shan paused, he continued to recount what he heard.
He said: "So the general took a group of people and followed them. A few days later, rumbling sounds continued to be heard from the Sibing Cave, and then the wind and sand dispersed, and many little monsters escaped, They said that the General and the Liuyu Demon died together. After that, the General’s body was carried out by a woman. The woman did not admit that the General was dead and took him everywhere to seek medical treatment. Later, she met an expert. The general came back to life."
"The veteran of the Yun Zhong Army said that the general lost his life in killing the Liuyu Demon, but only thirty years later, the people of Yashan County are now only alive. Knowing Prince Su but not the General is not ungrateful. What is ungrateful? ”
After Yang Shan finished recounting, he said: "I didn't believe what that person said at the time. I asked the people around me about his identity, and they said that he had indeed served in the army, but he was a gambler and a drinker, and had lost all his family's property. After losing, he lived by doing some part-time labor. Whenever he had money, he would still gamble. Now that he is old, no one is looking for him to do any work. Fortunately, he still has a daughter who married a rich man as a second wife. Help him from time to time.”
“They say he always likes to say weird things and brag about his past experiences regardless of the occasion to show that he is different from others, so I don’t want to believe him.”
Yang Shan said: "But I couldn't help but keep thinking about what he said. I was born and raised in Qingtan County. I have known since I was a child that there once was a Liuyu King in Sibing Cave, who was destroyed by the imperial court. So I After selling leather in the market for a while, I saved up enough travel expenses, so I returned to Yashan County and visited Sibingdong and several nearby villages. "
Speaking of this, He glanced at Zou Jingping and asked: "Mr. Zou, you should know all this?"
Zou Jingping said: "I only let him take action when your life is in danger. Normally, he usually Follow you from a distance. If you stay in a safe place for a long time and he judges that there is no danger, he may take a look at it every day and then go to rest. ”
"So after you disappeared in the nunnery, I only know where you went. I don't know exactly who you met or what conversations you had." Zou Jingping explained after some explanation and said, "You continue. Let's be more specific." Yang Shan nodded and said, "There are monsters in the Si Bing Cave."
"What monster?" Li Chuan asked.
Yang Shan said: "I don't know. When I was taking a nap in the tree that day, I heard someone talking below, which seemed to mention Prince Su. I woke up at that time and listened carefully to what they said. But then they all talked about wanting to go to the city and eat and play. I peeked down and saw no one, but a ferret and a centipede, and I realized they were monsters."
"I didn't dare to move. I waited for them to stop talking. After waiting for a long time, I got up and planned to leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got up, I saw the ferret lying on another branch looking at me, and then it She became a woman in front of me.”
"I was so scared, and then she spoke and asked me what I was doing here. I said I was a hunter from nearby and came to hunt. She asked me some questions, but I confused them, and then she let me go. I left.”
“I quickly walked to a populated place. After walking for a day and night, I finally reached Qingtian Village. After entering the village, I exchanged dried wild boar meat for some soup noodles. I asked people in the village, four Are there any monsters over there in the sick cave? One of the children said that he once got lost and was sent back by a monster. As we were chatting, the topic of the Liuyu Demon naturally came up, and an old man in the village mentioned it. When the general came, what he said was right with what the veteran said. The only difference was that he said that the general forced the people in the village to lead him and enter the Sibing Cave through a small path. "
< br>“I stayed in Qingtian Village I left in three days, and then I walked around the nearby villages, exchanged some dried meat for some things, talked to someone, and then went to the next place. I walked about five or six counties, and then I heard The people from the Monster Hunting Department entered Qingtan County, and then I heard that there was a fight between monster hunters and monsters in Qingtan County, so I decided to take advantage of the chaos and go back to Qingtan County to see if I could find some clues."
“My sister’s memorial day It's almost there."
Yang Shan paused and said, "After returning to Qingtan County, I continued to sell leather and mountain products, and then I met the female monster again, the one who turned into a ferret. Also recognized me , and then asked me where the palace of King Gunlong was, and I showed her the way. At that time, I thought, she must not be a subordinate of Prince Su. If she was a subordinate of Prince Su, how could she not recognize the palace of Prince Gunlong? "
"When I went to bed at night, she came to me again. When she saw that I was scared, she said that she was a good monster and had never harmed anyone. She also said that the court said that the monster killed Prince Su to pour dirty water on monsters. I knew that Prince Su was indeed colluding with demons.”
“I was afraid that she was here to kill me, so I left after she fell asleep, and I haven’t seen her since. I felt that she didn’t know about me and my sister.”
“Soon, when it was my sister’s memorial day, I went to the nunnery to burn some paper money for her, when I suddenly thought, I met that group of people twice, once when they robbed the secret passage, and the other time was after I discovered the secret passage. The fastest way to find them is to enter the secret passage again."
"So after I made some preparations, I asked a demon hunter to meet me outside, and then entered the secret passage again. Who knew that this time I went in...the vine demon took me to another place."< br>
