The No. 1 mixed score king in the whole server [StarCraft]

Feng Haozhong walked in the front of the crowd, carrying the scarecrow without saying a word. There was a strange thick fog and whiteness, and the silence around him was scary.

Ahead is the cart pulling the coffin, but the rumble of the cart gradually fades away until it dissipates with the shadow to the corner of the mountain road. .

The village chief warned him not to speak, so no matter how scared Feng Haozhong was, he didn't dare to open his mouth.

Cold sweat slowly fell from his forehead. After walking for so long, his physical strength was exhausted. When he took a step forward, he felt an obvious sense of heaviness when he fell.

I don't know if it was because of being too tired, but he felt that the scarecrow on his back became a lot heavier.

Possibly the straw was soaked in water from the mist?With this thought in mind, Feng Hao continued walking in fear.

The spirit is tense, the mouth is dry, the eyes are covered with fog, and the ears are like stuffed with balls of cotton.

The Scarecrow was getting heavier and heavier, and he had to bend over to make himself easier.

There is only one road up Lingshan Mountain, but it twists and turns around the mountain.Feng Haozhong bent over and walked, raised his head with difficulty, and saw a familiar figure, in front of him seemed to be Lin Jing and Huang Mao, the two of them were close to each other, chatting while walking, what they were saying could not be heard clearly through the fog.

Feng Haozhong was driven crazy by fear and loneliness, and now he felt a sense of intimacy when he saw Lin Jing, an annoying person, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He hated Xu Wanzhi at first, but afterward Xu Wanzhi was always sleepy, lazy and indifferent to anything.On the contrary, it was Lin Jing who showed his sharpness all the time, making him the player with the highest points in the game without any sense of presence.So he would rather admit Xu Wanzhiqiang than Lin Jingqiang.It just so happened that the adulterous relationship between the two was unintentionally broken by him, which made his thinking more firm and extreme, and he thought everything in the direction he believed.

In fact, it is just a game, as Lin Jing said, there is no deep hatred, and they are still teammates at critical moments.Feng Haozhong smirked, pretending that he didn't see the two of them at all, and secretly quickened his pace, trying to keep up.

After walking in, he still couldn't hear what Lin Jing and Huang Mao said. On the contrary, he found that their tone of voice was very strange, with a strange rustling sound.Feng Haozhong was stunned—the two co-authors are still from the same region?

No, something is wrong.

Stopping three steps away, Feng Haozhong hunched his back, his eyes widened, and his pupils were full of panic.

From a distance, he only saw the figures of Lin Jing and Huang Mao.Now I can see clearly that both Lin Jing and Huang Mao are facing him with pale faces, their limbs are stiff, their bodies are leaning up, a hemp rope is tied around their waists, and they are being carried forward on their backs.It is not they who speak, but the "people" who carry them.Two scarecrows side by side.

Feng Haozhong only felt cold all over his body, as if his legs were filled with lead.The air on the mountain was clammy, sticky, and smelled fishy, ​​coming from behind him.At first, it only felt like a little straw, but in an instant it was as heavy as a mountain.

He felt something encircling his neck, the slender arm was a scarecrow's hand, and the rough straw rubbed against his fragile throat.There was a slight layer on his shoulders, and he turned around stiffly, with a twisted and weird smile, eyes made of buttons, and a mouth sewn with red thread.The Scarecrow's neck stretched out, and so did his arms, which wrapped around him.

The feeling of suffocation made his mind go blank, and Feng Haozhong collapsed.

"Help!"

"Help--!!"

No longer caring about what the village chief said, he screamed in terror on the mountain road.

But the world turned into white mist, Lin Jing and Feng Haozhong stared at him with dull eyes, while the two talking scarecrows disappeared around a corner together with the coffin and the cow without turning their heads.

Feng Haozhong stretched out his hand to break the hand that strangled his neck, but it didn't work at all.

The scarecrow's hand was tied around his neck like a knot, tightening little by little.

"Ahh-!"

"Ahhhh-!"

The man's cry of collapse and despair resounded from the silent Lingshan Mountain.

Riding a cow at the front, the village chief who was walking slowly seemed to have never heard of it. He took out a bell in his hand and slowly muttered something.When the summoning spirit sounded, the entire Lingshan Mountain was slightly glowing red.The bell in his hand was old and rusty, with a red string strung on the top and a Buddhist bead tied to it.

The sound of the bell is ethereal and long-lasting, echoing in the silent mountains in the early morning.

When the scarecrow heard the bell and killed the man, they carried the man on their back in an orderly manner, and followed the footprints of the cow up the mountain step by step.

When we reached the top of the mountain, the fog cleared away, but today it was cloudy and rainy.

Everything is silent, Shan Luan is silent in the rain, and the dark peaks and waves are like water.The village chief tied the cow to the edge of the woods, and then rang the bell. There was a movement in the coffin, and one after another, old people wearing tall hats and shrouds crawled out of the coffin numbly.

"Six, it's a bit too much this time, and the burial will probably take a long time."

The village head said to himself.

The shroud ghosts dragged the coffin towards the cliff.

The village chief rang the bell, thinking about what had happened these days, a strange and contemptuous sarcasm tugged from the corner of his mouth.

When they reached the edge of the cliff, seven coffins were opened neatly, waiting for the scarecrow to carry the person up.

The village chief sat down and began to cut the red rope, the cows pulled the coffin, the human body was carried, and the red shoes bound the feet.Just as he cut the scissors, footsteps finally sounded in the forest.

"I'll cut your intestines first before burying you." The village chief held the scissors in his shriveled hands, and his whole face flushed with excitement at the thought of the thrill of ripping open your belly: "I'll goug out your eyes, and then bury you." His head was smashed to pieces."

He was immersed in the world of his own revenge, talking to himself, and suddenly his ears twitched.

At the same time as I remembered the sound of walking in the woods, there was also the sound of talking.

"Damn, Brother Lin, is this the little forest where you had an affair last time?"

"If you say another word about cheating, I'll kill you."

"It's not my fault, it's Feng Haozhong's fault! But he is really a paper tiger. He went up to the mountain and made himself like this. If the two girls in the team were not kind and went back to help, he would probably be gone. Hmph! Tell him not to listen to you .”

tear up.The village chief was stunned. While cutting the red cloth with scissors, he cut his finger, and black blood slowly flowed down.

The village chief raised his head, his cloudy inverted triangular eyes were full of disbelief and horror, and he looked straight at the person coming.

Lin Jing ignored the yellow hair, untied the rope around his waist, and carried the scarecrow who had settled down all the way.

"Scarecrow, we've got it on our backs, it's time for you to keep your promise."

village head:"......."

The village chief gritted his teeth angrily, but before getting angry, he looked at Xu Wanzhi immediately.

However, Xu Wanzhi was not in good spirits, and was rubbing his temples with his eyes closed, as if he hadn't woken up.

A bewildered and suspicious expression flashed across the village head's face, and his mouth grew so large that he couldn't close it no matter what.

Lin Jing smiled and sat cross-legged next to him: "Don't you just want to renege on your debts?" He raised his eyes and saw a row of dead people standing behind the village chief, whistled, and smiled: "It seems that the brothers who are buried today are in good spirits. nice."

village head:"........"

Everyone: "......"

Seven scarecrows were randomly dropped on the ground.

Lin Jing didn't bother to play tricks anymore, and said bluntly, "It's been a few days since you've been covering it up. You've been preparing for our funeral for so many days, and it's just gone down the drain. Let's get down to business."

The yellow-haired man gave me a fucking look: "What? He made these things these days, is it for our funeral?"

The village chief glared at him and nearly popped his eyes out.

Lin Jing looked back calmly, and said with a smile: "Where is the gate of life and death, tell me, it's not a good habit to lie to people."

The village chief took a deep breath, put down the scissors, and laid them on a pile of red cloth.

His lips were dry and cracked, he was silent for a long time, and said in a strange tone: "I don't know."

Feng Haozhong was scared to death just now, and now he is furious: "You don't know! You don't know that you are such a donkey?!"

The village head said: "I didn't lie to you, I know that cave is there, but there is nothing in the cave."

Xiao Xu was stunned: "Didn't it say that there are flowers and grass in the cave that make people live forever?"

There was a hint of sarcasm and sadness on the face of the village chief: "There are flowers and plants, but they are fake, ordinary medicinal herbs. 200 years ago, the first group of people who found the cave discovered this. There is a saying about the gate of ghosts, the gate of life and death you talk about is actually the eye of Lingshan that our ancestors said. If you pass through the eye of the mountain, you will live forever, but there are ten palaces of Hades guarding the gate of ghosts, so how can there be no guards for the eye of Lingshan.”

"It's a huge monster. The mountain's eyes are changing all the time. Only it knows the exact location and stands by it motionless."

"I can tell you where the cave is. It was the monster's former residence, and it's gone now. Finding the Eye of the Spirit Mountain depends entirely on your luck."

Everyone's faces became very ugly in an instant.So what's the difference between telling this clue and not telling it, such a big mountain, do they have to rely on luck?

Lin Jing asked suspiciously, "So your ancestors also relied on luck?"

The village chief's face froze, he gritted his teeth for a long time, and still told the story of the whole village that had been buried for a long time.

"200 years ago, a pair of brothers from the Xu family accidentally discovered the cave when they went up the mountain to cut firewood and hunt. It was exactly the same as the legend said. The two brothers were very pleasantly surprised and began to search for things in the cave and sell them at high prices. The rich man outside. But the herbal medicine is fake. The rich man experimented on people and found it was useless. He was very angry and came up the mountain with bodyguards. In the backcountry, the outside will not pay attention to the death of a few people. The brothers of the Xu family were afraid of death and cried I beg the rich man to give me more time. After all, there is a monster guarding the gate in the legend of Lingshan. They guessed that the elixir was eaten by the monster, so the new ones did not have the miraculous effect. After eating the elixir, the monster's flesh and blood may be It is something that lives forever.”

"The brothers of the Xu family mobilized the power of the whole family, went up the mountain to search the cave, and finally found the monster. They burned the monster with torches, smashed it with a hoe, killed the monster, divided the meat piece by piece, and put the blood in bags Good. Unexpectedly, after the monster died, it shocked the magic circle of the entire cave, and lines of golden words appeared on the wall, which was the introduction about the Eye of the Lingshan. The edge of the deep pool was the Eye of Lingshan at that time. The brothers of the Xu family died for money, and they were the first to jump in, and finally came out unscathed. The villagers were overjoyed."

The village chief's eyelid folds are deep, and his cloudy eyes don't know where to look: "They thought they had found a way to get rich and not die, but it was just a curse."

"What is immortality? A monster that can speak and breathe is also 'immortal' even if it loses its senses and feeds on humans."

"The people who jumped into the deep pool have long been drowned, and they are not the original 'people' who came out alive. At first, no one noticed something was wrong, until their blood began to turn black, they began to covet human flesh, and some people began to bite off in the middle of the night Wife's neck. The villagers realized that those who jumped over the deep pool were already evil ghosts in human skin. Normal people teamed up to subdue the evil ghosts, but found that they couldn't kill them at all. If the body is chopped up, they will heal automatically. Qinghe Village is isolated from the world, and there is no way to escape or call for help. People can only worship gods and pray to Buddha every day."

"Perhaps it is really useful to worship gods and Buddhas. An eminent monk who traveled all over the world came here. The eminent monk has boundless magic power and told the villagers that there are no immortals who have become immortals. The Eye of Lingshan has always been guarded by evil spirits on the mountain. Now Everything is the revenge of the evil spirit. The eminent monk asked them to burn the monster's stones and blood, put the ashes in a big box, drop a drop of blood, and sprinkle the ashes on the whole mountain."

The village chief stretched out his finger and pointed to the nearby cliff: "Here, this is the place where he threw ashes back then."

"As for the immortal living people, the eminent monk also taught us the method of suppression. Children are ignorant and ignorant, and their sins are very simple. Just bury them under the tree. When the tree grows old and withers, they can really die and get reincarnation. And The sinful adult, who cannot be forgiven, carried the corpse to attract the soul, bound the strange force with black blood-stained cloth strips, and was buried on this cliff. He will be awake forever and sealed in the coffin, day and night, the wind blows the sun Sun, to... appease the anger of the evil spirits in the mountains."

The mountain wind blew from the bottom of the cliff, and the old man's eyes were numb: "After the matter calmed down, many people left Qinghe Village. We thought everything was back to normal. But no, the curse has continued. Men, women, Children, old people, anyone may be cursed at a certain moment, the blood will start to turn black, and the day when it turns completely black, it will become a complete monster."

After listening to all his words, Lin Jing asked, "So, we are the people who escaped from Qinghe Village, the cursed descendants."

The village chief's tone was low and old: "Yes. Your parents sent you here for a funeral."

The voice of the village chief fell to the ground, and everyone fell silent.

Xiaoxu's face was pale, and it took a long time to recover from the news of her funeral, and she opened her mouth: "Doesn't everyone in the village know about this curse?"

The village head said: "They don't need to know. If you know that your blood has turned black, it is not a terminal illness, but 'immortality', who will be buried with peace of mind? The old man sent by his son last time knows the curse, and he can't die. Knowing that I was alive, I tried to run down the mountain after I warned many times, but was caught back."

Life and death is a very strange issue - who decides the boundaries of life and death, who is qualified to truly bury an 'undead' person.

The village chief sighed, looked at Lin Jing resentfully, and murmured: "Seven days, I only keep you for seven days, and your time is also seven days. I can't bury you now. After seven days, your blood will all turn black. After you go completely crazy, you won't be able to die." It will be under my control."

He rang the bell in his hand again.A group of old men in shrouds dragged the coffin out again with numb faces.

Everyone is silent.It doesn't need to be said by the village chief, they also know that the time stipulated in "The Gate of Life and Death" is originally seven days.Up to now, there are less than three days left.

Huang Mao shrank his neck, nana said: "How should we find it? If the Eye of Lingshan is unpredictable, then we have to find the guardian monster first."

Liu Cheng was taken aback: "Isn't the monster dead?"

Feng Haozhong finally took a serious look, and said: "It's not dead, the living dead on the entire cliff are trying to appease its anger, so how could it die. Maybe it just changed its form and exists on the Lingshan Mountain."

Several people faced each other face to face, all at a loss.

After pondering, Lin Jing said, "Let's follow the village chief to that cave to have a look."

Without a specific solution, everyone can only take one step at a time.

The cave was at the bottom of the mountain. I don't know if it was the village chief's bell that shook the fog away. The gloomy weather changed quietly and the sun came out.

Passing through bushes and hillsides, everyone stopped in front of a cave overgrown with weeds. The entrance of the cave was dark, and a thin mountain spring beside it gleamed in the light.

The village chief was angry: "If you want to go in, go in by yourself."

He rode an ox, dragged a cart of coffins and went back angrily.

Lin Jing turned on the flashlight and murmured, "Go in and have a look."

The cave was very deep, and as soon as I entered, I stepped on a mass of slippery moss.There are no animals in Lingshan, but there are many here. Leeches crawl in the moss, poisonous snakes sleep in the corners, and bats hang upside down in a row.But they are very peaceful, and they don't feel disturbed by outsiders at all.The girls Xiaoxu and Xixi didn't dare to show their anger.After going up the mountain just now, Feng Haozhong's emotions towards Lin Jing were already very complicated.Quietly followed behind him.

Lin Jing shone the flashlight in front of him, and said softly, "Such an evil place, does anyone really think it's a fairy cave?"

Xu Wanzhi was a little sleepy, but he was a little more sober here, and he responded with a calm tone.

Lin Jing laughed and said, "The eye of Lingshan, which they thought they would get rich, is actually Pandora's box."

Xu Wanzhi, "Do you also think it's a curse and revenge?"

Lin Jing was taken aback: "What."

Xu Wanzhi looked in front of his eyes, then lowered his eyes tiredly, and said indifferently: "The appearance of death and aging is originally a kind of evolution that living beings have explored and self-selected for thousands of years. Rather than saying it is a curse, it is better to say that they are human beings. Suicide."

Lin Jing was stunned, and suddenly remembered the first time he was locked up in the police station, he asked the meaning of life and death, and Xu Wanzhi asked what aspect in return.

Lin Jing neither agrees nor disagrees with Xu Wanzhi's statement about death.

In fact, he was right, but there was always something weird that he couldn't tell.

Kind of....too dismissive.
