Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 267 On the Qingshen Peak
I don’t know if it’s because of the spirit corpses of the Goki people before, this mountain forest is dead silent, I haven’t heard a single bird call, and there hasn’t been a trace of insect song along the way, let alone the animals walking through the forest. The lush trees growing around also have a hint of lifelessness.This place doesn't seem like a paradise of life, but more like a forbidden zone of death.

"Girl, stay away from those people later, especially that middle-aged man." I told Xia Wu in a low voice, and I was a little worried that Wang Zhihai would really take risks for the real dragon as Xueer said. I'm not afraid, but if it hurts Xia Wu, it's not good.

Xia Wu replied softly with a blushing face, her eyes were moving now, her eyes seemed to be a little different from before, and she looked at me very awkwardly.

In order to divert my attention, I asked, "By the way, what did that Zhou Tianjia do to you? Was it witchcraft?"

Speaking of this, I am still quite worried. After all, witchcraft is weird and unusual, and there are so many types. For laymen like us, it is very complicated and difficult to understand.

Xia Wu blinked her big eyes, and after a while, she stammered and said, "I...I don't know, it's just that once...she forced me to eat...a strange plant, and then used her own The blood... drew something on my head, and then said... many strange spells to me. At that time, I felt that my body... seemed to have something strange... Strange things crawled into it, Then I couldn't find it myself. I... I was so scared."

While talking, Xia Wu hugged me tightly, and a warm and soft feeling spread all over her body instantly.I swallowed involuntarily, although I feel that this is not good, but seeing her scared and timid, it is not good to push her away.

I stopped, and reached out to wipe away the bangs on Xia Wu's forehead, and sure enough, I saw a bloody pattern the size of a pinky finger on her smooth forehead.This should be a few weird characters, complicated and difficult to understand, I can't figure out what it is.

Then he asked Xue'er in his heart: "Xue'er, do you know what the witchcraft Xia Wu is talking about? And the pattern on her forehead."

After a long while, Xue'er replied quietly: "There are many types of witchcraft, especially each nation has its own unique spells. However, if you use your own blood to smear the victim's body, generally speaking Either it's a curse or a control technique. She doesn't look like she's being controlled now, so it should be that woman cast some kind of curse on Xia Wu in order to leave her a way out. This thing I suggest you leave it alone, or go to Qingshen Peak to ask other Zhou family members, or wait until you go back and ask that woman."

I nodded, and retracted my hand, and my fingers touched Xia Wu's soft cheek in the process of retreating, and my heart suddenly felt a wave of ripples.And the girl in front of her was blushing even more, looking at me with blurred eyes.

I had a cold war in an instant, and drove some thoughts out of my mind. I had already said that to Mu Yueting on the top of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and now I can't think of other thoughts.

"Let's go, try to get to that Qingshen Peak today!" I saw that Wang Zhihai and the three were walking behind us, so I said to Xia Wu and led her to continue on my way.

Xia Wu agreed, but there seemed to be a look of disappointment in her eyes, and she pouted aggrievedly on her face, looking really cute.

Since it was already afternoon when we entered the forest yesterday, we had no choice but to spend the night in the forest.Today, the sun is just right and there is plenty of time, so our speed of travel has also accelerated a lot. At around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, we finally entered the range of Qingshen Peak.

As we continue to climb to the top of the mountain, the surrounding environment has also changed.In addition to the traces of animals that disappeared at the beginning, even the vigorous tree vegetation began to wither as the altitude continued to increase.This scene is like a wild beast on the top of the mountain that is constantly absorbing the power of life, which always makes me feel a little palpitating.

Roar!
Little Bailong got out of his cloth bag at some point and grinned towards the top of the mountain.There seemed to be something threatening to him there.

"Brother Chen, the situation here is really weird. If there is no accident, the Zhou family's holy place is located on the top of the mountain, and there must be a very big threat there. Although I don't know what you are going to do up there, but Are you sure you want to continue now?"

I froze for a moment, and glanced at Junhui and Liu Ting behind me. Their faces were also somewhat displeased. After all, as long as they found Xia Wu and escorted her to Chengdu for the special envoy of the Japanese government, their mission would already be considered finished.But now they are being dragged by me to take risks, which really makes them very upset.

I sighed, thinking of the white stone I saw six years ago and the attraction it brought me, I said firmly: "No matter what dangers are on it, I must go this time, if If you don't want to take risks, you can leave now."

Wang Zhihai and the others looked at each other, but finally did not answer, and continued to climb up behind us.

As the mountain road became more and more rugged, some bone fragments appeared on the surrounding ground, and even pieces of animal skeletons could be seen at the back. These skeletons did not know how many years they had existed, but they were well preserved. , there is no trace of damage.It seems that they were killed by a terrible force in an instant before they were alive, without any chance of struggle and resistance.

The more I went up, the more oppressed I felt in my heart, and not only did I feel this way, but Xia Wu at the side also leaned towards me nervously.

Finally, about ten minutes later, an extremely flat place appeared before our eyes.

There are also several strange-shaped buildings on this flat land, which are cave-like buildings made of stone and chaotic wood. This seems to be the earliest house of the Goki people.In the middle of the entire flat land is an extremely huge stone house, which is similar to other houses, but the whole body is made of huge stones. It is four or five meters high, and the inside does not know how big it is. , it looks a bit majestic.

Moo hoo!

Xiaolong suddenly flew up from my body, suspended in mid-air, and made a high-pitched and clear sound towards the huge stone house, but I seemed to hear a hint of sadness from it.

I pulled out the Que Xie sword behind me, and looked ahead vigilantly.And Wang Zhihai and others behind me also took out their guns and pointed forward.Especially Wang Zhihai, because he was standing behind me, he pointed the gun in the direction of my back and head intentionally or unintentionally, which scared me so much that my back felt cold. This guy has bad intentions, he shouldn't wait Let's make a situation where a fire escapes and "manslaughter" me.

Just when I was particularly wary of Wang Zhihai in my heart, there was finally movement in the huge stone house.

A tall and burly figure came out of the stone house. He was burly, and his body was simply covered by a tattered animal skin to cover his private parts. The muscles on the exposed parts were raised high, like small hills. , the whole body is full of wild breath.

Xiaolong's body suddenly trembled, and he moaned loudly towards the front.

I and the others were also stunned at this moment, looking at the front in disbelief. What we saw was not this barbaric man, but the huge skeleton behind him.

Bang bang bang!
Like a heavy object hitting the ground, a huge head poked out from the stone house. The white skull reflected a gloomy luster in the sunlight, and two scarlet lights were shining on the parts of its two eye holes. It makes people panic.

As the savage man advanced, this skeleton also slowly drilled its entire body out of the stone house. The nearly ten-meter-long body like a big snake gave people a great oppressive force, and the bone body of this long snake There are four claws under it...
