"Senior Brother, where are you going?"
"Of course I'm going back to report to Master. Danshen's place is not safe, you guys should quickly leave as well!"
Mu Chen said as he pulled Lin Dan's hand and prepared to leave.
"Senior Brother, Lingyue and I are going to the Nine Yin Mountain. How about you come with us?"
"What? You guys say that you want to enter the Nine Yin Mountain?"
Mu Chen was obviously excited, this time he did not push Lin Dan away, but instead grabbed her arm and asked.
Lin Dan nodded and then told her about how we went shopping, met the boss, entered the illusion, and promised the boss.
After Lin Dan's senior brother finished listening, she was so angry that her face turned black. She immediately scolded Lin Dan and I, and then I told us to go back.
When I encountered these things, I also had the thought of shrinking back, but I also felt that this was not good. Since I had already promised my boss, I should go and check on him first.
Just as I was hesitating, Lin Dan had already voiced out my thoughts.
She said that people can't go back on their word. Since she promised someone else, she has to do her best to fulfill her promise. Then, she pulled me along in a fit of anger and prepared to walk up the mountain.
Mu Chen was helpless, as though he was very doting towards Lin Dan, this junior sister. He was also helpless, but in the end, he just silently followed behind us. He followed them.
Just like this, Lin Dan and I had originally become three people.
Mu Chen had mentioned that the Nine Yin Mountain was also known as the Dark Cloud Mountain. I heard that the Yin Messenger s all gathered here before going to capture the lost souls, so a few years ago, there had been no one here, only the empty houses in the small town ahead.
As we listened to Mu Chen's explanation and walked, we unknowingly arrived at the foot of the Nine Yin Mountain. As there was no one in the little town, we couldn't find any sort of light source, so we made some simple torches to hold on to.
Under the flickering light of the torch, I saw the appearance of the Nine Yin Mountain. I have to admit that this place is really dark …
The mountain was tall, covered with dense vegetation, and blocked out the sun and sky. The only way out was through the middle of the mountain, like a canyon.
It seemed as if it would rain tonight. The heavy clouds in the sky seemed to press down on them, making them hard to breathe.
Walking on the dense vegetation of the road behind us, we could not see anything in the dark. The tall trees seemed even more terrifying in the darkness of the night.
My heart became even more nervous as I tightly held onto Danshen's hand. The center of Danshen's hand was also wet, and it wasn't much better than mine.
Seeing that we were scared, Mu Chen lit up another torch. The fire was brighter, and after warning us, he walked to the front, leading the way. I was in the middle, Danshen held my hand and walked to the back.
Mu Chen took out yellow talismans from his bag and gave each of us a set. He held a torch in one hand and a black sword in the other, waving it around in the air from time to time.
I knew he was doing it to keep the cobwebs from sticking to his face.
He heard Danshen say that Mu Chen's black sword was made from thunder striking peach wood, and its entire body was black.
Using such a good sword to hit a spider web was truly a waste of his talent.
After walking a distance and reaching the bend, it became even darker.
There was nothing to be seen but the light of the torches, and just as we were about to leave, we heard the sound of children's laughter in our ears.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck …"
I held onto Danshen's hand tighter. Lin Dan raised her head and looked at Mu Chen, not knowing what to do. "Senior Brother, what should we do?
"Don't ask, don't ask, pretend not to hear it, keep going!"
We did as we were told and walked a few more steps, "Hehehehe... "Heeheehee …" The child's laughter grew louder, and it was just ahead of us.
In the darkness of the night, I heard such a creepy laughter that my scalp went numb. The jade pendant in front of us quivered for a moment. When I raised my eyes once more, I could already clearly see the group of children sitting not too far away from us.
However, the distance was a bit far, so I couldn't see very clearly. However, I knew that being able to appear here would definitely not be an ordinary child.
Mu Chen opened her eyes and asked Danshen to give me the "Yin Willow Leaf". After that, both of Mu Chen's hands continuously rubbed against his chest, as if he was stammering that she did not know how to open her eyes.
Mu Chen was a little helpless. He used his finger to point at Lin Dan's head, and said with a resentful tone: "Little girl, I made you not learn properly everyday. "Watch carefully …"
Mu Chen gave the Peach Wood Sword to me and started chanting with his right hand in a low voice.
I was about to say that I could see, no need, but just as I was about to open my mouth, I heard a voice in my head, stopping me from doing so.
"Qing Qing, for the time being, don't let others find out that you can see it, and don't trust Mu Chen too much either!"
From yesterday to today, it's been so long that Qin Yize has finally talked to me. This made my heart feel more at ease, and I had a feeling that as long as he was by my side, Lin Dan and I wouldn't be in too much danger.
It was really contradictory. On the one hand, I wanted to get rid of him, but on the other hand, I subconsciously relied on him.
"Heaven's Eye, Earth's Eye, Human's Eye, One Heaven's Clear, Two Earth Clear, Three Wisdom." Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, all in accordance to the order of the Old Lord Taishang! Open!
Danshen did the same, then she stuck "Willow Leaf of Yin Wine" on my left and right eyebrows for me to close my eyes before opening them again.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that both Mu Chen and Danshen's shoulders were glowing with a fiery light, and Mu Chen also had a blue light shining down from above. It was very tall, and not only that, even the black sword in my hands was emitting a blue light.
It made me want to reach out and touch it.
Just as I reached out my hand, it was stopped by Mu Chen.
"Lingyue, don't move!" Seeing my doubt, Mu Chen explained: "The blue one you see is Dao Qi, but you can't touch it, especially the three sunlight lamps, if they are extinguished, that person's life will be in danger!"
I quickly withdrew my hand and turned around to see a bunch of children in front of us. They were indeed a bunch, a dozen or so children sitting around a bonfire, talking and laughing, but their appearance was a little hard to describe …
As we got closer and closer, and after we clearly saw each other, Lin Dan and I immediately squatted by the side of the road and puked.
Some of them were still holding the placenta, some even had long navels, and some were covered in blood. Their entire bodies were still covered in a thin layer of blood, making them feel better.
The most disgusting ones were those who had only one head, but their bodies were all clots of blood. One of them was only the size of a chopstick, and even their nose and eyes had yet to take shape …
Mu Chen said that all of these children had died early. Some had just gotten pregnant, but some had just been given birth and had not been nurtured. They were unique to all sorts of things anyway.
