I am honest

An old woman's voice suddenly sounded from outside the bamboo forest: "Who told you to come here? Come out!"

Huh?someone?Could it be the master of Senior Sister Yumi whom I have never seen before?When Bao Gu looked back, he was startled by a strange old woman.It was an old woman in a flowered dress who was less than four feet short. She hunched over and stared at her with half-closed eyes that glowed with cold green light.The old woman was as black as a piece of carbon dug out from the ground, her face was wrinkled like old bark, and she looked very ugly. Although his hands are five-fingered like human hands, the back of the hand has protruding bony knots, like tree knots with old roots, and his fingers are more than twice as long as ordinary people's, resembling tree roots.

Bao Gu doubts that she was transformed by a tree demon.She had heard a lot of stories about goblins and goblins before, and it was hard not to think of this weird old woman in that direction.No wonder the woods were so quiet just now, with such a big and ugly tree demon, what kind of beast could there be!

Seeing Bao Gu's hesitation, the old woman beckoned to her kindly, and said, "Come, come, come to Grandma!" Her tone was kind, and she could be called that dignified face, no matter how you looked at it, she looked like the monster who kidnapped people in the legend.

Bao Gu was so frightened that he turned around and ran towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

The old woman stomped her feet and shouted, "Hey, you little girl, come back quickly, that's a forbidden place."

Forbidden place?If it is a forbidden area, there should be a few monuments erected saying: "Forbidden area, no idler can enter!" "Forbidden area! Trespasser dies!" and other words, right?

No matter how he thinks about it, Bao Gu feels that the old woman is lying to her.How can there be monsters in the fairy gate that can transform into humans?There are only four people in Lingyun Peak, and even Master Dabai Snake is counted as one of the population of Lingyun Peak, so if this old woman belongs to Lingyun Peak, even if it is a monster, it should be counted as a monster who breaks through the evolutionary form and turns into a human form. Looking at it alone, Bao Gu has never heard of her.

In this barren mountain and wild ridge, if Bao Gu was killed by this suspicious old woman of unknown origin, he would have died in vain.

Be careful to make the Wannian Ship, be sure!

She ran for more than half a mile in the mist-shrouded green bamboo forest, but she didn't feel any movement behind her. She looked back and looked around to make sure she didn't see any trace of the old woman before stopping.She looked around in amazement, and saw a thin mist shrouded in the forest, the wind blowing the bamboo leaves rustling, thick bamboo leaves piled up on the ground, an indescribable tranquility enveloped the bamboo forest .

Every year, she goes to the countryside with her father to hire people to harvest and purchase rice. The weather is extremely hot during the rice harvest season, and it is very hot to take a nap in the house. Her father will move a deck chair in the bamboo forest behind the house and set up a mosquito net for the She sleeps in the bamboo forest.She remembered sleeping in the bamboo forest, listening to the sound of the bamboo leaves blown by the wind, and taking a nap in the breezy bamboo forest with the singing of birds was the most pleasant.

bird language?Bao Gu was shocked!There are no birdsong in this bamboo forest.

Not only were there no birds chirping, but even flying insects, spiders, and ants were not found.

Bao Gu became uneasy, is there something strange about this bamboo forest?

She was a little hesitant and wanted to leave, but she was afraid that the old woman was a bad monster. Although the bamboo forest was a bit eerily quiet, it was in the fairy gate after all, so there should be no mortal danger, otherwise someone would erect a monument outside the bamboo forest to warn the disciples not to Trespassing here.

Bao Gu regained his composure, gripped the ax tightly and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

After walking for half an hour, she suddenly saw a road ahead.The road is paved with white stone slabs, mixed in the bamboo forest, and there are many bamboo leaves on the road.The stone road extends to a high place, and there are stone steps on the uphill.She walked along the stone road for another distance, and then saw tall steps appearing in front of her eyes.

She climbed up the steps, and when she was halfway up, she looked back and saw a lush bamboo sea under her feet.When the wind blows, the bamboo sea undulates and sways like waves, and the white mist shrouds the bamboo sea, showing the fairyland on earth and the beauty of fairy mountains.

Baogu continued to climb up along the bamboo sea.She thought that if she walked up this stone step, she might be able to see the majestic gate building of Lingyun Peak and see the style of Xiuxian sect.

Not long after, she saw a pile of broken stones scattered on the ground.

Bao Gu climbed into the pile of rocks, and suddenly saw a wide platform, and also found that there should be a stone archway-like thing, but it was damaged for some unknown reason.The foundation pillars of the archway are still there, look at the huge foundation pillars that are twice as big as the big millstone, I think the buildings built here should be very grand.Look at some broken stones on the ground, there are exquisite carvings on them, and the auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts are vivid.On one side of the platform stood a stone two feet high, the top of which seemed to have been sliced ​​obliquely by a sharp sword.At the break, a huge character was cut off, the beginning of the character could not be seen, only the lower half of the character could be seen, and there was a character "Tai" under the half of the character.On the side of the broken stone, there is a stone that is tilted and fell to the ground. There is a half-character engraved on that stone. The complete character is "unloading". A "sword" word.The combination of these three characters is "Xiejiantai".

Baogu continued to climb through the sword-unloading platform where the rocks collapsed and the ground was covered with withered yellow bamboo leaves. Along the way, he saw many destroyed stone steps.She pushed aside the accumulated withered, yellow and rotten bamboo leaves, and found that the ruined stone steps had turned into small gravel.

The entire stone steps were covered with fallen leaves, and she couldn't see the whole of the stone steps. She also pushed aside some fallen leaves on the complete stone steps, but she didn't see anything.

Bao Gu was full of doubts and continued to climb up, and after climbing for more than half an hour, he finally came to the end of the stone steps.At the end of the stone steps, another huge carved gravel was poured. These large pieces of gravel seemed to have been poured here for some years. There was a thick layer of soil on the top, and there were many rotten bamboo leaves under the stone.She climbed up the pile of stones blocking her way, and when she looked up, she couldn't help gasping in surprise at the sight in front of her.

She looked around, and there were ruins, broken stones, and huge pits everywhere.In front of her should be a very wide square. The thick stone slabs on the ground were broken into countless gravels. , as if being split by a huge sharp soldier.Traces of palace buildings can be vaguely seen around the square.From the sporadic pillars, the collapsed jade buildings, the scattered glazed tiles, and the gems shining in the sun, Bao Gu can imagine that this place must have been more magnificent than the imperial palace in the past.

Bao Gu believes that the former Lingyun Peak must have had an extremely glorious past.

Just look at the scenery here, and you can know how glorious Lingyun Peak was in the past, and then think about the Lingyun Peak with only four people now, what a difference between cloud and mud.

Bao Gu turned over the pile of rocks blocking the end of the steps, and came to the square full of gravel, where countless swords and weapons were scattered.She bent down to pick up the dusty three-foot long sword at her feet, and only grabbed a handful of residue.

The extreme glory and defeat made Bao Gu feel a little sad.She took a deep breath and let out a long, deep sigh.

Bao Gu felt strange.There are still people in Lingyun Peak now, why no one came to take care of it?Could it be that because of the catastrophe that led to the defeat here, Lingyun Peak and even Xuantianmen were withered, unable to rebuild this place?Or was it rebuilt at another site?What surprised her the most was that although most of the places here were gravel, due to the passage of time, the weathered gravel and the bamboo leaves blown from the mountain had formed a layer of putrid mud dust about half an inch thick.Normally speaking, this place is already full of weeds, but not a single blade of grass grows.She also remembered that there was only bamboo in the bamboo sea under her feet, and she didn't even see a scrap of grass.

This place is full of weirdness, so weird that Baogu felt uneasy, she thought of the old woman she met when she entered the bamboo sea, and felt that this place was full of weirdness, it was not a place to stay for a long time.

As soon as Bao Gu turned around, he was so frightened that he screamed "Ah!"A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and black robe appeared behind her silently and without warning, staring at her expressionlessly.Bao Gu was so frightened that she took several steps back, her heels stumbled on a stone, and the other couldn't stand firmly, she fell to the ground with her buttocks, and the stones under her buttocks made her face writhe in pain.

Baogu was terrified.She stared at the expressionless middle-aged man, and asked tremblingly: "Senior... Senior, are you... Are you the master of Senior Sister Yumi? I... I am a new outer disciple, I... My name is Baogu, I...I didn't mean to break in here, I...I just lost my way." As soon as she finished speaking, the man disappeared, and followed her to put on the wolf fur scarf around his neck When he tightened, he was pulled back by a huge force.

Bao Gu was very uncomfortable from being strangled, and quickly used her left hand to tear open a gap in the wolf skin around her throat. She cried out with difficulty: "Ex...senior...let go...or I will be impolite! Hiss, pain !” The man was so powerful that he kept dragging her, and her fart hit the stone on the ground, causing her to gasp in pain.

Bao Gu gritted his teeth fiercely, swung his ax and struck at the person behind him.

The ax pierced through the man like it was in the mist, cutting through the air.

Bao Gu was so frightened that the hairs all over his body stood on end!Ghost!

She was so scared that she struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free.You can't cut it with an axe!Being dragged by the "ghost" across the huge ruined square in front of him, and then dragged across a collapsed palace ruins, followed by Bao Gu, who was so frightened that he screamed "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——"

There are bones all over the ground!These skeletons belonged to humans, wild animals, and even some rotting plants. The bones were densely piled up, and Bao Gu was dragged into the pile of bones by the man, and he slid along with the unknown bones clucking on his buttocks.

She also saw the remains of many birds, some of which may have died recently and were in a state of decay.

Next to it, there are some humanoid skeletons wearing the costumes of our sect. I don't know how long they have been dead, and the bones are rotten.

"Help me..." Bao Gu cried out in fright, whimpering!

Suddenly, the strength that twisted her neck disappeared, and the person who dragged her here also disappeared.Baogu, who was so frightened that he was limp and weak, crawled out on the ground crying with his hands and feet.When she climbed to the outer edge of the pile of bones, where the bones were the most, it was as if an invisible wall blocked her, and she couldn't move forward even half a point.

Bao Gu was so frightened that she pursed her mouth and twitched. She said to herself: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Don't cry, don't cry!" She quickly turned her head and looked around for a way out.Although she knew that there was probably no way out, otherwise there wouldn't be so many corpses lying here, but if she didn't find a way out, she could only add another pile of corpses to this place.She finally knew why this place was so weird, it was haunted!This ghost is also very fierce, so it will be chased out in broad daylight.She wiped the tears from her face, puffed up her chest vigorously, and said a few words to herself: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Dad said I'm a lucky man!" She shouted in her heart: "Dad, you must bless me!" Baogu!" Suppressing the fear in his heart, he looked around tremblingly.
