Chapter 117 Boyi and Shuqi

I know this kind of grass. Its scientific name seems to be Weijue. It is not edible, but it can help the stomach and intestines digest. In other words, the more you eat, the hungrier you become.

I threw Wei Jue on the ground in disappointment, raised my neck and looked above my head.

After Yin Xinyue woke up, she found me holding Wei Jue for observation, and told me that this was the grass Butcher Zhou gave Zhou Laoshi to eat.

It suddenly dawned on me, and I wondered, could the cause of Zhou Laoshi's illness lie in these grasses?

While I was thinking, I suddenly heard a noise above my head.

Hearing this movement, Yin Xinyue became a little nervous for a moment. Butcher Zhou must have returned.

I quickly patted Yin Xinyue's shoulder to tell her not to be nervous.

There was a sound of moving stones from above, and then I felt that the only light at the entrance of the cave was blocked.

Needless to say, Butcher Zhou must have been afraid that we would escape, so he simply sealed the exit with stones.

I secretly scolded Butcher Zhou for being cruel and ruthless.

After the footsteps faded away, Yin Xinyue asked me what just happened? I said the hole was blocked. As a result, Yin Xinyue became more and more desperate, crying and saying, we will all die here.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard another set of footsteps coming from above.

I was surprised and thought that Butcher Zhou had constipation and used this place as a toilet. What did he mean by running back and forth?

While I was thinking about it, I noticed a beam of bright light shining down from the entrance of the cave, as if the stone had been moved a crack.

I immediately ran to the cave entrance and looked up, only to find that the stone had indeed been moved away. Then a familiar voice came: "Uncle, are you down there?"

It turned out to be Li Xiaomeng.

I immediately said excitedly: "Yes, yes, we are down there. Brat, how did you find us here?"

Li Xiaomeng said: "Butcher Zhou returned to the village with a fierce expression. I knew that he would be up to no good when he returned to the village, so I followed him secretly. Who knew I saw him blocking the hole with stones? I guessed that you must be imprisoned. under."

Yin Xinyue was overjoyed: "Xiaomeng, you saved my life. I will give you the Land Rover when you get back."

Li Xiaomeng was so happy that he quickly threw a rope down from above.

I tied the rope around Yin Xinyue's waist and asked Li Xiaomeng to pull Yin Xinyue up first.

Although Li Xiaomeng is still weak, Yin Xinyue is not heavy and can still be pulled up easily.

Then the two men dropped the rope and tried to drag me out of the cave.

But as soon as I raised my body a little, a person suddenly rushed out from the group of mummies. He was as fast as a cheetah and jumped in front of me in the blink of an eye. Before I could react, he was captured again. Back to the cave.

I was so frightened that I didn’t expect these mummies to be alive! After falling to the ground, he kicked the mummy directly.

Li Xiaomeng and Yin Xinyue didn't know what was going on below, so they shouted anxiously and asked me what happened?

I quickly asked two people to retract the rope, and these mummies came to life again.

Li Xiaomeng and Yin Xinyue were a little anxious when they heard me shouting, and hurriedly threw stones into the hole.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard the mummy speak: "Don't be afraid, it's me."

It turned out to be the voice of the man in the T-shirt.

It turns out that the man in the T-shirt has been hiding among the mummies, but I didn't notice him the whole time.

Using the light, I carefully observed the man in front of me, and it was indeed the man in the T-shirt. It's just that the man in the T-shirt at the moment has a sallow complexion, his clothes are in tatters, and his bangs are messy. He has long lost his former male god appearance, and is actually a bit desolate.

I never thought that the T-shirt man would end up like this one day.

I quickly asked the man in the T-shirt what was going on and why was he trapped here?

The man in the T-shirt said it was nothing, he just communicated with these mummies and asked them about their specific situation.

I was dumbfounded for a while. The man in the T-shirt could actually communicate with the mummy. What kind of ability is this? Through the underworld?

Yin Xinyue lay at the entrance of the cave and asked what she could do to help us.

The answer of the man in the T-shirt made me stunned: "You two first find a place to hide, so that you don't get discovered by Butcher Zhou. In addition, at midnight every night, go to Butcher Zhou's residence, throw some crow blood, and then pass." Just give us some food when it's time..."

I asked the man in the t-shirt a little worriedly. Isn't it obvious that he was pouring crow blood on Butcher Zhou's house? Butcher Zhou will definitely find them.

The man in the T-shirt pretended to be mysterious and smiled at me: "Don't worry! He couldn't move at that time. Even if he found out, there was nothing he could do."

Seeing the confident expression on the man in the T-shirt, I believed him immediately.

Yin Xinyue and Li Xiaomeng were still worried about us, but the man in the T-shirt told them to leave quickly, otherwise they would be really helpless once they were discovered by Butcher Zhou.

I didn't dare not listen to what the T-shirt man said, so I had to drive them away.

After they left, I asked the man in the T-shirt what was going on and how did he end up in this situation?

The man in the T-shirt sighed slightly, and then told me the whole story.

It turns out that the last time the T-shirt man took over the business and came to this village, he had already discovered that Butcher Zhou was not normal, and was probably involved in an evil religion!

And that sect has been handed down since ancient times and has long since disappeared from history. I never expected that it would resurface again now.

The T-shirt man knows that if this sect is allowed to continue to exist, the consequences will be unimaginable.

So he wanted to wipe out this sect in one fell swoop, but it was impossible for him to do it on his own, so he wanted to ask us for help.

In other words, when he comes to us for help, the T-shirt man is still really a T-shirt man.

Exactly when Butcher Zhou started pretending to be a man in a T-shirt was right after he went up the mountain that day...

At that time, the man in the T-shirt was the first to rush into the back mountain, but he was attacked by Butcher Zhou. Moreover, the other party used a more powerful sorcery to directly kill the man in the T-shirt. He was caught off guard and was driven into the cave. among.

If an ordinary person were subjected to this kind of evil spell, they would be devastated at least, or die at worst. Fortunately, the man in the T-shirt was not an ordinary person, so he managed to survive in the end.

During these days, he has been staying among the mummies, seeming to have entered a state of "meditation", and slowly he was able to communicate with these mummies!

The mummies originally had no thoughts, but they left too much resentment behind when they died. Powerful resentments are accumulated in the cave. The man in the T-shirt can receive these resentments and communicate with them in a meditative state.

The result of the communication surprised him.

He never expected that the history involved in this sect was far beyond his imagination.

I quickly asked the man in the T-shirt, what kind of history is it?

The man in the T-shirt didn't answer me. Instead, he walked over to the mummy lying inside and started rummaging around on him.

It didn't take long before a small cloth bag was found from the mummy.

The bag was made of burlap and looked very old, with a shabby surface and a musty smell.

In the bag, there are also withered roots of some plants.

"What is this?" I asked the man in the T-shirt inexplicably.

"Grain bag." The man in the T-shirt said, "The bag that Boyi Shuqi used to collect Weijue back then."

"Bo Yi Shuqi?" I looked at the man in the T-shirt in surprise.

I know Boyi and Shuqi. They were both great men with high moral standards in ancient times. Several things they did are still sung by people today.

The first thing is to be humble. Boyi and Shuqi were originally members of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty and had the right to inherit the throne. However, they were not moved by the glory and wealth. They gave up the throne to the prince and left laughing.

The second thing is moral integrity. After the Shang Dynasty was overthrown by King Wu of Zhou, the two people were dissatisfied with King Wu's rebellious behavior and determined not to be subjects of the Zhou Dynasty. They resolutely refused to eat the food of the Zhou Dynasty. They met in Shouyang Mountain to collect Weijue to satisfy their hunger, and eventually starved to death there. To Shouyang Mountain.

And I suddenly remembered that Shouyang Mountain seemed to be near this area. Could this mountain be the legendary Shouyang Mountain?
