Chapter 679: Meat Mountain Ghost River
As Fatima spoke, her voice grew weaker and the light around her became dimmer.
Obviously, the blessings that Guo Xiake had shared with her were running out.
At the end of her life, two lines of tears flowed from Fatima's lifeless eyes.
She is going to die.
At the beginning of the story, everyone thought Fatima's story was boring, but as the story progressed, everyone began to put themselves in her perspective.
From Fatima's perspective, she did nothing wrong. She was just an ordinary person who wanted to live a good life, but her life was full of suffering and torture.
Her experience is just a microcosm of the life of all living beings in this blessed world.
In addition to the ghost story itself, many of the things Fatima tells are worthy of Wu Xian's extra attention.
The world outside the Valley of the Dead, the origin of the pilgrims, the evil spirits that inhabit the pilgrims' members, and the suspicious prophet.
Plus some information that everyone had collected before.
For example, the weird songs like "I am your teeth" sung by Bai Yuxin, the mink girl, and "The evil spirit is my work" said by the crazy old man when the room collapsed...
Putting all the information together, Wu Xian already had a general idea of the current situation of this blessed land.
There was once a wicked man in this world.
The evil man tried to create a fierce god, but failed for some reason.
Therefore, the evil man caused ghost disasters all over the world and disguised himself as a prophet, leading people from outside into the Valley of the Dead one after another, serving as nourishment for the birth of the evil god.
The members of the pilgrimage team have all been attacked by ghosts and have ghosts living in their bodies. They should be some high-quality materials.
The purpose of them being selected into the pilgrimage team is to bring the ghosts from the outside world into the Valley of the Dead to serve as materials for creating evil spirits.
Many years passed like this, and the Evil God was still a half-finished product. By the time of Wu Xian and others' "pilgrim team", it was no different from a makeshift group.
The condition for Wu Xian and others to leave the blessed land is to find the exit at the bottom of the blessed land. The purpose of those immortals and gods throwing them into the Valley of the Dead may be to let their followers cause some sabotage in the process of finding the entrance and delay the birth of the evil god.
Fatima struggled for a while, muttered a few meaningless sentences, and the light on her body disappeared completely.
This was her second death.
After she died, a breeze emanated from her body, which was a symptom of her soul dissipating from her body.
Wu Xian squatted down.
"I hope that this time you die, you are truly dead, and not your soul wandering in this dark space like a zombie."
He reached out and picked up Fatima's body, ready to throw it into the fire.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.
The dead Fatima opened her eyes again and grabbed Wu Xian's collar fiercely, her eyes almost popping out.
"I'm Jiang Huaian!"
"A mountain of flesh cannot be higher than the sky, a river of ghosts cannot be deeper than the sea. The mountain of flesh drinks the river of ghosts, and the sky and the sea are both possessed by demons!"
"The exit is at the top of the Meat Mountain, and the Meat Mountain is below the Ghost River."
"Before you leave, please remember..."
"Help me collect the body!"
After Fatima said these words, her body fell down again. In just a few words, the face of the blonde beauty began to become somewhat masculine, and Jiang Huaian's characteristics could be seen.
There was total silence beside the fat fire, with only the sound of the flames flickering. Huang Yuanjiang asked in confusion, "Was that Jiang Huaian just now?"
Guo Xiake took back his leopard-print cloak from the corpse and touched the corpse twice.
"It should be him. When Fatima's soul entered the body just now, the body changed from Han Yu to Fatima. Now it is half man and half woman."
Lan Xuan frowned: "If that was really his soul just now, it means that Jiang Huaian is dead now. Then how did he keep his soul sane after his death?"
"The dead Jiang Huaian, is he now an enemy or a friend? What exactly happened to him?" Fan Qingyue also raised the question.
Wu Xian first repeated Jiang Huaian's words several times, and then said to everyone:
"Don't worry about Jiang Huaian's life or death for now."
"From what Jiang Huaian said, when that evil man created the evil god, he should have created a meat mountain and a ghost river!"
"In the room under the plank road, we saw two kinds of carvings on the door frame: flesh tentacles and void gas. Those should be the carvings of the Meat Mountain and the Ghost River!"
"But simply piling up blood, flesh and soul to the limit is not enough to reach the realm of the evil god, so that evil man wants to merge the Ghost River and the Meat Mountain together!"
"The 'weird sound' we heard might be the sound made by the meat mountain. The sound of that flesh alone can strengthen the ghosts and wild spirits. If it merges with the ghost river, it might really become a terrifying evil god!"
"The information about the Meat Mountain Ghost River matches the information we obtained previously, so it is highly credible."
"Then what we have to do next is to follow Jiang Huaian's words and find the exit of the blessed land."
"But where is the mountaintop below the Valley of the Dead? How can the mountain be below the river?"
The message suspected to be from Jiang Huaian made everyone confused and discussed various possibilities with each other.
Fu Dahai looked at the five anxious people and enthusiastically offered his wisdom to help. He may have said a lot, but to everyone, it was only this one sentence.
"Abba, Ababa, Abba..."
……
After discussing for a while, everyone still had no idea.
So I decided to continue exploring downwards, taking one step at a time.
Before the formal exploration, Wu Xian first released the mink girl Bai Yuxin, and asked Guo Xiake for another peach pit, which he stuffed into Bai Yuxin's mouth with anticipation.
Unfortunately, Bai Yuxin was still unconscious and showed no signs of waking up, so Wu Xian took the peach pit out of her mouth again.
It seems that if you want the peach pit to be effective, there must be at least a soul in the body. It is impossible to summon the soul with just an empty shell.
At present, the only person confirmed dead is Zhong Xiuwen, the one suspected dead is Jiang Huaian, and the whereabouts of the remaining four people are unknown: Yuan Buyai, Han Yu, Qu Ying and Liu Chen.
Everyone had stayed here long enough and there was no way to wait for them any longer, so after getting themselves ready, they headed down the stairs.
Because the routine had been cracked, this time when everyone set out on the road, there were no more disguised evil spirits to block their way. Whenever the strange sound of "wuah" was heard, everyone could see groups of ghosts standing on both sides of the road, seeing everyone off with grim eyes.
The further we went down, the wetter the road became.
Some strange vines began to appear on the rock wall, and the leaves of the plants emitted a faint green light.
You can also faintly hear the sound of water splashing from below.
Fan Qingyue had a look of anticipation on her face: "Is this sound of water the ghost river that Jiang Huaian mentioned?"
No one answered her question, because the moment she asked the question, a huge mass of something suddenly fell from the sky and blocked everyone's path!
