Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 150 Changbai Mountain Ghost King Tomb (4)
The night on the top of the mountain was still very cold. I didn’t know how long I had slept. I woke up from the cold. Under the moonlight, the head of the group slept very soundly, but what was strange was that his face turned pale, as white as white paper. Looking at It made people feel chills down the spine, and after a while, the head's face gradually returned to normal. I was wondering when I heard the head let out a sigh of relief, as if he was about to wake up, so I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

There was only a light clatter, as if the leader had unzipped the sleeping bag, and then there was a slight noise, and I heard footsteps back and forth, and then the leader said: Luo Zi, are you asleep?
I ignored him, and still pretended to be asleep. After a while, he came to me and shook him vigorously. Then I pretended to wake up, opened my eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

The head of the group seemed anxious and said: I suddenly wanted to understand something just now, so I wanted to discuss it with you.

I pretended to be confused and said: Captain, you haven't slept all night thinking about your thoughts?

The leader nodded and said: I just want to find out why the yin-yang scholar is not in the gloomy alley. I have made many assumptions, but in the end I think it is impossible. The first time I entered and exited the gloomy alley, Qiu Xin from the Tianling Tribe visited once. He is Ashue’s cousin, the real son of the principal. I got a message from him that the super monster has conspired to betray mankind. If this news is true, there may only be two reasons. One is that they are going to seek refuge with the Blood Origin of Pain, but this possibility is very slim. Human beings still have to be afraid, so they can only combine with the forces in the gloomy alleys to deal with the coming demons, and then deal with human beings, because I believe that it will be a matter of time before the yin and yang scholars take action against human beings.

I said: But the super monster is the one who captures the soul of the yin and yang scholar, there is no possibility of the two joining forces.

The team leader said: This is also a factor I have been considering, but I believe there is no reason for it. Super monsters are not good birds. If they really target us, it is normal. To put it bluntly, they are a group of beasts. It's normal for anything to happen.

I said, "Sister Yan has been scolded by your words."

The group leader said: I was scolding her, what do you think?

When the head of the group said this, his expression was a little angry. It didn't seem like he said it casually, but the relationship between him and Yan Tongli was relatively harmonious on the surface. Could it be that there was a disagreement between face and heart?
I yawned and said: Head, why did you drag me up in the middle of the night because of this?When can't we talk?
The head of the group smiled and said: I really couldn't sleep, so I dragged someone up to talk.

When he said this, his face became paler and paler. He looked very charming, and even his smile became extremely weird. The hairs on my body stood on end. After all, it was the middle of the night in the barren mountains, facing such a person Face, no one will be indifferent, the leader smiled for a while and seemed to feel that something was wrong with my face, put away his smile and said: What's wrong, what's wrong?
I said: Captain, why is your face as white as paper.

The group leader touched his face subconsciously, and said inexplicably: How is it possible, I am a living person, why is there no blood on my face?

Before I finished speaking, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a section of wings slightly protruding from the top of the leader's head. I couldn't help shaking violently, pointing to the leader's forehead and saying: "What is that on your head?"
The leader reached out and touched the pair of wings, his expression changed drastically, he grabbed the wings, and pulled hard, only to hear a sharp scream, a scrawny creature covered in ashes was caught by the leader, and at this moment The head's face immediately returned to normal. This thing is not much bigger than a bat, but its facial features are similar to those of a human, except that its mouth is pointed and long, like a straw. The head said: This bastard, he is here to spy again , Tell your master, don't get my idea as soon as possible, otherwise you will kill them sooner or later.

The leader grabbed his neck, that thing rolled his eyes, and I said: "What is this thing?"
The team leader said: This is called Naoqi, who specializes in stealing other people's consciousness. You just saw my face turn pale. It was him who did it, but since I found out, he feels better.

After finishing speaking, he grabbed Naoqi's wings and let go of the hand pinching his neck. Naoqi took a long breath and said in a low voice: Please let me go, actually I don't want to do this either.

The group leader said: Don't fuck with me, to be honest, who sent you here?
Naoqi said: I can't say.As soon as the four words were spoken, the leader immediately grabbed his wings and pulled them vigorously. Naoqi couldn't help but screamed in pain. The leader pulled him five or six times unceremoniously. I will tell you everything I know.

The head of the group stopped and said: If you dare to hide a word, I will tear you in half.

Nao Qi said: We are now under the jurisdiction of Mr. Lu, and he asked me to inquire about the news here.

The leader said: How could he know my whereabouts?
Naoqi said: I don't know anymore, but he told me to find out your whereabouts and the purpose of this investigation and tell him.

The leader said: I won't make things difficult for you, but you must tell him everything you know, otherwise I will tear you in half right now.

Naoqi agreed in a voice, and the leader let go of his hand, he flapped his wings and flew into the sky, and disappeared into the night in a short while.

I said, "So it's this thing that's doing something wrong. Just now, looking at your face, I thought something happened."

The head of the group smiled and said: There are so many accidents there.His face became serious again, and he said: The Lord Lu we are talking about is actually one of the highest-level fighters in the blood of pain: Nightmare Knight, he can travel between reality and dreams, and can kill you in your dreams , is a very terrifying killer, since we are being targeted by this thing, we will be in big trouble.

I took a deep breath and said: If it's true as you said, then we won't even be able to sleep.

The leader said: It is impossible not to sleep, but from now on we have to be careful even when we sleep.

After hearing these words, my drowsiness disappeared, and I said, "Why don't we hurry on our way?"
The leader said: I don't want to sleep anymore, but can you climb the mountain at night?

I nodded and said: No problem, I also want to see the true face of Shenlong soon.

No more talking now, we packed up our tools and began to climb up the mountain. We saw many camping spots along the way. Gradually, I felt difficult to breathe and my head felt a little swollen. The team leader climbed above me and pulled me all the way I don't know how long ago, but the sky was bright anyway, and we finally stood on an open mountain road. It was late autumn at this time. Although the foot of the mountain was not too cold, the snow here was thicker than my Based on the imagination, the head of the group took out the prepared snow shoes and we put them on and headed for the depths of the mountain.

The road was covered with snow, and the hot spring was steaming. I couldn't help but want to take off my clothes and go in for a bath. However, the head of the team looked very serious, and he searched for something silently. When we turned around a mountain, we found a withered The shattered tree trunk stood there dingy.The head of the group walked to the dead tree in a few steps as if seeing a treasure, and looked at it carefully.

After a while, he said: Luo Zi, do you know what kind of tree this is?

I have no research on plants, so I shook my head and said: I don't know.

The group leader said: "This is a willow tree. Can you see what's wrong with this willow tree?"
I looked it up and down carefully, and said: There is nothing strange about it except that it is dead.

The head of the group smiled and said: The environment here is not suitable for plant growth, because there is no soil, and this willow tree is at least a hundred years old, and it was artificially transplanted here.

I said: But without soil, how does it survive?

The group leader said: "Human corpses and blood, the willow tree is a ghost tree. This kind of extremely dark tree can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth when it casts evil methods. I have always suspected that there are dark wizards in Changbai Mountain. This willow tree is a good proof." My guess.

I said: Don't you come here to hunt for dragons?

The head of the group said: "Of course I came here for the dragon, but where there are dragons, extraordinary things will happen. Seeing this willow tree makes me feel confident."

As soon as the voice fell, we heard a strange cat meowing. We followed the sound, and our hearts sank immediately. Not far away, we saw a Gu cat covered in green hair staring at us with blood-red eyes, and sitting on the cat's back. There was an old man with white hair and ragged clothes. He lowered his head and closed his eyes as if he was sleeping soundly.

We looked at each other, and the team leader said: Be careful, let's withdraw.After finishing speaking, he led me to move slowly towards the mountain. Suddenly, the cat barked at us again. The huge cat’s head showed a strange smile, which looked very strange. The person on the cat’s back shook and opened sleepy eyes. When he saw us with both eyes, he said, "When you get older, it's hard to fall asleep. I came here out of nowhere. Please don't take it for disturbing the two of you."

The head said: It's all right.

Pulling me, I ran towards the inside, only to hear a soft whoosh sound, the Gu cat stopped in front of us in the blink of an eye carrying the old man, the old man looked at us one by one and said: I almost forgot, who are you two?

The group leader forced a smile and said: We are just ordinary tourists.

The old man nodded and said: Tourists can actually come here, baby, you are an old man and a young child, this kind of nonsense is too casual.

The head of the group said: We are mountaineering enthusiasts, but this is also a kind of tourists, right?

The old man said: Of course climbers are tourists, but since you know Ghost Willow is no ordinary climber, let’s be honest, who are you?It turned out that he seemed to be asleep, but he actually listened to every word we said.

After being silent for a while, the leader suddenly pulled me and ran in the opposite direction. The old man's sinister voice came continuously: "If you want to run, you can't run. You should honestly tell what you are going to do."

I smelled a stench faintly in my nose, and when I turned around, I saw the old man sitting calmly on the back of the Gu cat, and the cat was at most three or four meters away from us. I was so frightened that I ran forward desperately, But no matter how hard I tried, the cat always kept such a distance from us. Gradually, we got closer and closer to the cliff, and there was nowhere to go. The team leader said: "Fight with him."After finishing speaking, I pulled out Samsara Jie from my waist and threw it back, the old man rolled up his torn sleeves, and rolled in extremely sharp Samsara Jie, but he patted Gu Mao's neck and stopped chasing us.

And when we got to the edge of the cliff, there was nowhere to go. We turned around and looked at each other. After a while, the old man said: "Who are you guys?"

The leader said: Do you still need to ask this kind of question when you see the reincarnation robbery?
The old man said thoughtfully: "The kalpa of reincarnation is a doomed fate, and anyone who sees it will die. You two dolls have such an ominous thing on your body. Could it be that you are evil generals?"

The leader said: "Who are you?"

The old man sighed and said: You and I are both evil spirits who practice dark tantric sect, so we can be regarded as fellow-men, but the inner method that the old man practiced, are you Wuxie?
I was baffled by what I heard, and the team leader replied: Yes, most of the evil generals are mainly martial arts, and we are Wu Xie.

The old man nodded and said: "I almost accidentally hurt my fellow disciples, who did you two learn from?"What are you doing here?
The head of the group said: We are the subordinates of Empress Huamian, and we are indeed here for business. Since the old man is practicing here, I would like to ask for advice. I heard that there is a dragon in the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain. Is this true or not?

The old man was silent for a long time and said: I just heard about it, but I haven't seen it either.After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and threw Samsara Jie towards me. This disc seemed to be alive, and when it got close to me, its speed suddenly became slow. lock up.

After saying this, the old man seemed to have entered a dormant state again. The head of the group gave me a wink, and when he was about to leave, the old man suddenly snorted and said: "Since you are here for the dragon, don't rush to leave. Come to my place for a chat.

Although we were 1 unwilling, we couldn't leave if we wanted to, so we could only pretend to be polite, and the old man didn't say anything else, and said in a strange tone: Don't you give the little old man some face?
After that, we followed the old man dejectedly and walked slowly towards the depths of the snow mountain. Gradually, the road was lined with rocks, and the slopes were one after another. I dared not speak loudly for fear of causing an avalanche. The old man walked to a naturally formed cave. He got off the back of the cat and said to us: Please put it.

We walked into the entrance of the cave first, and saw the darkness inside, and couldn’t see anything clearly. At this moment, there was a loud crash behind me, and I immediately knew that trouble was coming. Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw that there was an extra row at the entrance of the cave. The iron fence trapped us inside like a prison cell.

The group leader and I immediately walked to the iron gate. The old man looked at us with an unpredictable expression, not knowing what he was planning. The group leader said: "Old man, what do you mean?"
The old man said: Baby, if I guessed correctly, the yin-yang scholar asked you to come here. He is a person who hates dragons very much. I know the purpose of your coming here, so don't blame me for being cruel. I can't let you kill dragons.

After hearing this, I couldn’t help laughing and crying. I didn’t expect us to complicate the situation. The leader immediately said: Old man, don’t misunderstand us. We will definitely not be the ones who kill dragons, and the evil generals may not always kill dragons. of.

The old man snorted and said: Now that you are under my control, of course you have to deny what you did, but even if you were wronged, you must die. I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

After that, we turned around and left. We had no choice but to watch him go. When he was gone, I said: He is going to starve us to death.

The head of the regiment looked around and said: Can I still starve to death, or freeze to death.

I couldn't help shivering and said: I almost forgot about this, this is a snowy field.

The head of the group stretched his neck to look again, making sure that the old man was gone, and then said: The old man is still too careless.After saying that, his body began to elongate and become thinner, until it became unacceptably thin, and he got out from the gap in the iron cage.

I was surprised and happy and said: I almost forgot that you still have this hand.

The head of the group searched for a long time on the cave wall, straightened up and said to me: I'm sorry, but I couldn't find the mechanism to open the iron gate.

Immediately, my mood became gloomy again, and I said, "Then what should I do?"
The head of the group thought for a while and said, "I'm going to find those people, please be patient for a while."

5. The Dark Wizard

I had no choice but to watch the group leader disappear into the snow like that old man, sitting helplessly on the rocks in the cave, and didn't sleep well at night. At this time, people felt tired in all aspects of the spirit, and fell asleep after a while , when I woke up again, the night had fallen, the moon was high in the sky, and the moon seemed rounder and brighter in the mountains, but the leader still didn't come back, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and my stomach was growling. When I got up, I was actually hungry. I was still hungry under such circumstances. It seemed that I was really careless.

Just when I thought it was funny, there was a slight hissing sound from behind me. My scalp was numb, and I turned my head to look, only to see a pair of orange eyes suddenly lit up in the dark place in the cave, about ping-pong. The ball is big, and the black pupil in the middle can see clearly.

I was so frightened that my liver and gallbladder were torn apart, I retreated a few steps to the iron gate and did not dare to move. After a while, a white-haired goat came out of the hole, and the eyes came from it. And judging from the coat color, this is an old sheep.

The old sheep walked up to me calmly and stared at me for a long time with its weird eyes. I was still on guard at first, but after a while I gradually relaxed and reached out to touch its head, my husband The sheep lowered its head very tamely, and then licked my hand.

Just this one almost made me spit it out, because the old goat's tongue was actually full of blood, and it licked my hand with blood dripping down, and the blood trickled down my hand to the ground, which was shocking.

The old sheep grinned, his expression seemed to be smiling so weirdly, I felt chills in my heart when I saw it, and I was slapped on the shoulder, almost jumping up in fright, when I turned my head, it turned out to be the leader, I said: You are finally back, here is a strange sheep with a mouth full of blood, I don't know the way.
