One Punch Tang Monk

Chapter 257 What's on Happy Ridge?
"Brother Jin, I heard that you also entered Happy Ridge back then. What kind of place was that?" At this time, the skinny young man looked at the middle-aged man with bright eyes and asked, with curiosity and longing in his eyes. color.

"Happy Ridge..." The middle-aged man seemed to be lost in memory. He was silent for a while, but he drank the noodle soup in the bowl in front of him in one gulp. He stood up and walked towards the door. His voice came slowly. : "That's a good place, but what a good way, there are rules, no way, no way..."

"This man..." Sha Wanjing glanced at the man's back speechlessly.

"It seems that the place
Everyone in the noodle restaurant had an expression that they knew it was. A middle-aged man beside him sighed and said, "The Jin family was a first-class and wealthy family in the town. , Lost all the family property, angered Jin Yuanwai to death, forced the old mother to death, that was really a moment of glory."

Everyone sighed when they heard the words, and many people remembered the scenery of the Jin family back then. Looking at the empty bowl on the table, many people had a warning expression on their faces. Of course, some people couldn't help yearning for it. , throbbing uncontrollably.

"What do you think is in Happy Ridge? Why do people who come out of it never mention what's in it?" After a while, everyone became active again, and the young man from before said.

"I think there is probably a big gambling shop inside. Those people come out in a daze, like gamblers who have gambled a lot."

"I guess there are fairies inside. Otherwise, those people would never forget it after entering it once, and they want to go in again after sharpening their heads."

Speaking of fairies, everyone's eyes could not help turning to Tang Sanzang and his table, with an inexplicable gleam in their eyes, and many conjectures came alive in their hearts.

Tang Sanzang put his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl, and there was a crisp click. Everyone was startled, and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look again. If Tang Sanzang and the others really came out of Happy Ridge, they really didn't dare to look more.

"Fellow folks, Tang Sanzang, a poor monk, came from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, and passed through Ankang Town. I heard you talk about Happy Ridge earlier. Recently, people died twice or three times. I wonder if you can explain it to me. , Where exactly is Huanxiu Ridge and its origin, and where is it located, so that we won't accidentally enter it." Seeing the fear on the faces of the crowd, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, and said softly.

Everyone saw that Tang Sanzang had a kind face and a warm and comfortable voice, he didn't look like a bad guy, and heard that he came from the Eastern Land Tang, he really didn't look like someone who came out of Huanhuanling, the fear in their hearts was greatly relieved, it was you who ate me He rushed to talk about Happy Ridge first.

Tang Sanzang and others listened to it for a while, and they almost had an idea in their hearts. It turned out that the Huanhuan Ridge was fifteen miles west of Ankang Town. It was a very wide and tall mountain. If you want to go west, you have to walk a lot The wrong way, so it is almost the only way for Tang Sanzang and the others.

As for the legend of Happy Ridge, there are five or six versions in the mouths of these people here, but one thing is certain is that Happy Ridge has existed for at least hundreds of years, starting from the genealogical records in Ankang Town, Happy Ridge appears in the records.

There is not only a small town in Ankang Town near here, there are at least a dozen small towns of different sizes around Happy Ridge, but the general situation is similar to that of Ankang Town. Every year, some people enter Happy Ridge out of curiosity. If it is several months, or as short as a few days, it will usually come out.

Although the people who came out of Happy Ridge kept silent, it can be deduced from the length of time after they entered that the more money they had with them, the longer they would generally be able to stay, while those who came out of Happy Ridge, There is no penny left on him, no matter how much he brings in, he will leave without a penny when he comes out, and the name of the Selling Gold Cave is also like this.

Although Happy Ridge is strange, there have been very few people dying on Happy Ridge these years, so even though they knew it was a gold-selling cave, many people couldn't bear their curiosity and entered Happy Ridge.

But since last month, the bodies of people have been found on the outskirts of Happy Ridge one after another. They are all people from nearby towns, and they are all people who entered Happy Ridge before.

This incident caused a lot of panic in the nearby towns, and many people who originally planned to enter Happy Ridge also hesitated, thinking that they could make more money if they lost their money, but if their lives were gone, what would happen? All gone.

"How did those people die? Could it be that they were murdered for money? When they went to Happy Ridge, they must have carried a lot of money with them. Could this be the cause of their death?" Sha Wanjing asked with a frown.

"Impossible. They all died when they came out of Happy Ridge. Who doesn't know that all the people who came out of Happy Ridge are poor ghosts. Who would steal their money and kill them!"

"And after they died, they didn't have any wounds on their bodies. It doesn't look like a means of murder for money."

Soon someone overturned Sha Wanjing's guess.

"Speaking of Master...does this have anything to do with us?" Zhu Tianpeng sucked the last noodle in the bowl into his mouth and asked while chewing.

"It doesn't seem to matter..." Tang Sanzang nodded. He really didn't like the gang of prodigals who entered Happy Ridge. Maybe they had played with them before, and they couldn't do it when they came out. They died for the people. Not to mention eliminating harm, it can also remind those prodigals who want to continue to enter Happy Ridge: Prodigals are at risk, be careful that your life will not be guaranteed.

"Boss, pay the bill." Tang Sanzang raised his hand and said, taking out a small piece of gold from his pocket and putting it on the table. The currency of each place is different, but gold can generally be exchanged, which also saves you from going to a place. The hassle of going to exchange money.

Tang Sanzang and others walked out of the noodle shop under the eyes of everyone, bought more than a dozen noodles and some commonly used seasonings, and walked directly to the west of the town.

"Master, are we going to Happy Ridge now? I want to see how the gold-selling cave is. Maybe we can go to the brothel and drink flower wine this time." Zhu Tianpeng said expectantly.

Sun Wukong slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "The Huanhuan Ridge is probably full of weirdness. I don't know if it's a monster or a ghost, but it has been peaceful for hundreds of years. Why did it suddenly attack ordinary people recently?"

Sha Wanjing said curiously: "I'm quite curious about the rules in Happy Ridge. People who go in keep silent after they come out. If you want to attract more people to go in, you shouldn't let them publicize it. ?"
