38. Ghostly Land
The Black Tomb was told to Meng Po by the Ku Ding inadvertently, but it was just a casual statement from Ku Ding. Meng Po never expected that one day he would actually meet it, because even Meng Po thought that it was just a concept that exists in the story or a mythological story.
In all human origin stories, there will always be unknown existences, either extremely powerful or extremely powerful. They play the role of creators, pioneers, guides... both gods and evil spirits. They will always divide the two sides of good and evil, and black and white are incompatible. Most of the time the story ends with evil invincible victory over good, and the story of reunion will always be easy to accept.
Perhaps, the real situation of the story is not as mysterious as the story, but after the precipitation of time, the reality has long been buried and it is difficult to explore again.
But there are also some accidents. These accidents will cause some truth to surface again, and the Black Tomb is one of them.
The so-called black tomb, based on what Ku Ding told Meng Po, is the ultimate place of existence connecting the evil side of those myths. You can understand it as another form of the cemetery, but the ones buried in it will be largely the bad guys in the myths.
"Black tombs are polluted by evil thoughts that cannot be eliminated even after time. This kind of black tomb will appear around them. This black will cause plants to wither and creatures to die, and you will know that it is an evil place when you see them. If you encounter a black tomb, with your current ability, don't enter easily. Although there may be some opportunities, don't take risks with yourself."
This is what Ku Ding told Meng Po. Meng Po really thought Ku Ding was telling a story. Even the closest mythology has been around for nearly a thousand years. But now the area in front of him is very similar to Ku Ding's statement. The suffocating breath coming from the crack on the ground is contained but not released, as if it will detonate at any time.
"Boy Ning, go and tell our gentleman that this Bochishan is not that simple."
——This is a black tomb, it must be.
Meng Po was shocked by the crack in front of her. She wanted to go back and tell the Ku Ding first, but Ning Meng didn't know what the black tomb was. He was still thinking about the wild bobcat, and he was also a newborn calf who was not afraid of the tiger.
"Aunt Meng, wait for me a while, I will go down and catch the wild bobcat."
Ning Meng said that he was about to drill down, but he saw Meng Po jumping to Ning Meng's side a few steps and grabbed Ning Meng's back of the neck.
"Don't mess around, go back immediately."
Just like carrying a puppy, Ning Meng was half-pulled and half-lifted by Meng Po. Ning Meng looked at the crack reluctantly and could only follow him to the camp. At this moment, Meng Po didn't care about the game that Ku Ding had prepared. There must be something wrong with Sun Shousian's tomb, so she had to rush back to tell Ku Ding.
If the tomb is really Sun Shuiyu, the problem will be big. Sun Shuiyu is inspired by the immortal. The immortal who enlightened him is respected by the world to be called Lu Zu, and who can be called Zu, is not an existence with countless glory. It is an absolute authentic brand with good intentions and ranks among the Eight Immortals. Sun Shuiyu cannot be said to be the inheritance of this person, but it is also closely related. Then he is also kind-hearted, but there are a black tomb next to the tomb of such a person, which obviously has many twists and turns.
Just as Meng Po and Ning Meng were rushing towards the camp, some problems also occurred in the camp.
After talking with Lao Qi, Ku Ding went around.
The tomb of Sun Shou was hidden deep underground, without sealing or tree, and did not pay attention to Feng Shui. If it weren't for the treasure map, it would be difficult to find. Originally, when Lao Qi and his team first came, they dug a vertical shaft that directly reached the first floor of the tomb. After three groups of people, the shaft had been expanded a bit too much and turned into a giant skylight. This also revealed the difference between the tomb robbery of several people and the scale of tomb digging. The latter did more thoroughly and roughly.
After walking around the "skylight", Ku Ding found several strong ghost auras at the bottom of the tomb. However, these ghost auras had areas and gathered but could not be tolerated, just like independent individuals. At first, he thought it was some zombies and other ghosts below, but after observing it, he found that it was not.
These ghost energy are like nodes of central air conditioners, which regulate the entire tomb, forming a strange cycle while ensuring the balance of ghost energy in the entire tomb.
"Is this a ghost land?"
For example, large cemeteries and mass pits, of course, they are not ashes, but places with corpses. It is easy to form ghost lands. Walking in such places in the middle of the night is very easy to lose direction. Things like ghosts hitting walls and ghosts covering their eyes will occur frequently. Some corpse-driven sects in western Hunan have their own ancestral ghost lands. Raising corpses in ghost lands can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and ghost lands have many other uses.
Constantly using ghost energy to nourish the ghost land can improve the quality of the ghost land, and may also produce some filthy ghosts. Those who can make the ghost energy in the ghost land form a cycle are all masters.
If Sun Maiyu's tomb had become a ghost land, the situation inside would probably be extremely bad after hundreds of years. The previous three waves of people would have been a bit strange if they could enter the third floor.
——What is Sun Maiyu doing? If this is really his tomb, does he want to refine himself into a ghost king? He is not afraid of being caught and thrown into a frying pan.
Things became more and more evil, and it was also a bit uncontrollable for Ku Ding. When Meng Po and Ning Meng came back to tell him about the Black Tomb, Ku Ding stood in front of Sun Maiyu's tomb, locked his eyebrows and thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
"How far is the Black Tomb from here?"
"It's not too close, it's a few miles away in a straight line. I'm too anxious to come back, so I didn't pay much attention to this matter."
As Meng Po said, Ku Ding nodded, squatted on the ground and outlined it with a branch, which seemed to be a rough topographic map of this area. After pointing out Sun Maiyu's tomb, Black Tomb, and the mountain they had squatted for the night before, Ku Ding stood up again and gestured to the surrounding mountains with his hands.
"Sir, what are you gesturing?"
Ning Meng didn't have much thought. He was still thinking about the wild bobcat. If Meng Po hadn't grabbed it, he would have jumped back.
"Go and call Lao Qi, and be a little further away from that black tomb."
The Butu Ding saw Ning Meng's curiosity. If he didn't care and relied on Meng Po to catch him, he would probably not be able to catch him.
However, the more Ku Ding said this, Ning Meng became more curious. Her curiosity rose. She felt so itchy. He pointed his head like a kowtow worm, and his heart had already flown to the black tomb.
But Ku Ding frowned. The tomb of Sun Shopping Yu was probably not just the purpose of the evil ghost, but there must be deeper factors in it. Otherwise, he would not give up his arrangement in Jiaqing City and came here directly. The sudden appearance of the black tomb made Ku Ding a little afraid.
"Ding, do you think it's possible that these two tombs are connected?"
