Mingsha Mountain is far from the south of the Yangtze River.Even with the escort of the little kite, the two of them flew on the road for ten days."
Is this the time?"
Jing Ling leaned down and looked down, and saw that the mountains were crisscrossed, and the oncoming air had become dry and cold.A pair of hands encircled her and pulled her in."
Be careful, the kites are about to land."
After a gust of wind in his ears, the little kite landed steadily on the ground.A wing lay flat on the ground, giving the two of them a staircase.As far as the eye can see, barren mountains are lined up, and the air smells of dead grass and sand."
This is Quanzhou?"
Li Junyan nodded, "I passed by this place when I was guarding the border pass before, I shouldn't be wrong, there will be a town if you go forward, find a place to stay for one night, and the little kite should also have a good rest." ”The two walked forward together, walked for about half an hour, and finally saw a stone tablet with the words "Shensha Town" written on it.Jing Ling looked at Li Junyan, "Shensha Town, isn't this Sha talking about Mingsha Mountain?"
”Li Junyan nodded, "It shouldn't be wrong, let's go." ”The two went into the city to find an inn, and were pleasantly surprised to find that the people here had not been poisoned by Danshu.However, it is relatively close to the border between the two countries, and it has been slightly affected by the war.The inn has not been visited for a long time, and the shopkeeper is playing with the abacus in a boring manner, and the counter is also dusty.There is no shopkeeper, only him, very lonely."
Shopkeeper, come to an upper room."
I haven't heard anyone's voice for a long time, and the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and looked up, "One room......
Going to the room?
”Li Junyan let out a "hmm".The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly, "Yes, yes, two upstairs, please!"
”Pushing open a side door, fine dust fell from inside, choking Jingling coughed a few times.The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I haven't had a guest for a long time, and I don't have the money to hire Xiao Er to clean it, you wait a minute, I'll clean it for you immediately." ”"No need, let's clean up ourselves, please go get us something to eat."
Li Junyan took out a silver ingot from his bosom and handed it to him, "It's good to be lighter." ”The shopkeeper gasped, and his eyes almost lit up, as if he hadn't seen so much money in a long time.The monkey hurriedly put away the silver taels, and stepped back, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll go buy you some food and come back." ”"Thank you."
The two of them cleaned up the room for a while, and it was finally clean, without the choking smell of dust.He sat down and poured a cup of tea, and the shopkeeper came back from the door."
Two of you, the rice has been bought, it is our local specialty, and it is also very light, try it."
The two of them walked this way, their chests were already hungry against their backs, and when they smelled the aroma of the food, their stomachs suddenly opened, and they didn't care to listen to the shopkeeper's introduction to the specialty, so they ate directly.The shopkeeper stood at the door, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeve, and handed them over with some reluctance, "Childe, this is the remaining silver ......"
Li Junyan glanced back at him and said, "You can keep these, I still have something to ask you." ”The shopkeeper immediately smiled and pushed the silver to the deepest part of his sleeve."
If you have any questions, whatever I know, I must know everything, and I will say everything!"
Li Junyan put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth, and looked at him."
Do you know Mingsha Mountain?"
The shopkeeper was stunned and patted his thigh, "Harm, I thought you were going to ask something, just Mingsha Mountain, twenty miles away from here, this town is called Shensha Town, this Shensha, it is Mingsha Mountain." ”I haven't communicated with anyone for a long time, but this time there are two big living people, and he seems to have opened a conversation box and talked endlessly."
This Mingsha Mountain, very magical, at night, it will make a buzzing sound, until the next morning does not stop, there is a rumor, this sand mountain, there is a goddess who lives, when no one is lonely at night, then sit on the top of the mountain and play the flute, this is the 'Mingsha' said."
As he spoke, he moved around the two of them, "Are the two of you also going to Mingsha Mountain to hunt for treasure?"
”Li Junyan glanced at Jing Ling and nodded, "That's true, but listening to what you said, there are not a few people who come to Mingsha Mountain to hunt for treasures?"
”"Of course, the goddess I just said is guarding a treasure, and many outsiders come to Mingsha Mountain to find treasures, but ......"
"What's just that?""
Two guest officers, it's not my crow's mouth, Mingsha Mountain is a very weird place, there is the protection of the gods, birds and birds are not allowed to pass from high altitudes, no, some time ago, someone came to Mingsha Mountain to hunt for treasure, but none of them came back, and during this time, something strange happened in our Shensha Town, and no one dared to go.""
Strange things?"
Jing Ling and Li Junyan frowned at the same time, "What's the strange thing?"
”At this, the shopkeeper suddenly became nervous, looked around vigilantly from side to side, and finally stepped forward to close the open window.Li Junyan raised his thick eyebrows and watched his movements.After making sure that the surroundings were safe and no one would eavesdrop, the man said, "I saw that the two faces were good, so I told you about this, but you must not say it, otherwise it will ......"
He gestured on his neck, and the two of them understood."
You name it, we're not going to say it.""
Recently, there is always a strange rustling sound on the streets, and the next morning, you will find strange blood stains coming from some corners, some people say that the mountain of Mingsha Mountain has become a fine eater, and some people say that the goddess is angry and wants a living person as a sacrifice......"
He said, with a chill down his spine, and he snorted, "Don't go out these nights, and the Mingsha Mountain, I advise you not to go, twenty miles away, you have to take a carriage for a day and a night, and at night, you may come out with something, it is very dangerous." ”Jing Ling frowned and said, "Don't the parents of Shensha Town care?"
”"At the beginning, a few officials were dispatched, but something happened to the officials that night, and the county order couldn't control it, so they only ordered the people not to go out at night."
Jing Ling nodded solemnly."
After all, it's a sentence, don't go to Mingsha Mountain, your life matters, not to mention that now that the two countries are at war, it's not good to run into the soldiers of Jing State.""
Our trip is not only for treasure, but also for other things to do, so if we don't go, thank you to the shopkeeper for telling us this.""
Well, if you insist on this, I can't say anything as an outsider, just remember, don't go out at night here, don't say anything when you hear any movement, and live one more day."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he closed the door and withdrew.Only Jing Ling and Li Junyan were left in the wing, the two glanced at each other, and Jing Ling took the lead in speaking, "What do you think?"
”"Some are credible, some are not, there is indeed a treasure in Mingsha Mountain, and this strange thing in Shensha Town may be a snake."
Jing Ling nodded, "I think so too." ”"We'll find out at night."
