Nightmare Attack

Chapter 1082

The group walked in the village for a long time, and finally, at Yu Chengmu's suggestion, they went to the Dushui River again.

Standing on a soil slope not far from the river, looking at the Dushui River, the whirlpool in the river has disappeared, replaced by a strange calm.

Looking at the slightly darkened water surface, everyone felt an indescribable sense of oppression in their hearts.

A subtle emotion flashed through Yu Chengmu's slightly squinted eyes, which was caught by Chen Hao, and he asked seemingly casually, "Old Mr. Yu, did you see some clues?"

Yu Chengmu ignored it, turned around, and looked in another direction.

Under the cover of layers of trees, a strange building looms.

It's the Yizhuang they visited last night.

Chen Hao's voice attracted everyone's attention, and everyone's eyes focused on Yu Chengmu.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Chengmu pinched his fingers and counted, his face became more and more gloomy, "Yin and Yang are reversed, and the dead become immortals. These people are so courageous!"

"Mr. Yu, please explain clearly." Du Moyu urged, and the four of them instinctively made him feel uneasy.

"It's no wonder so many top masters of sinister activities are gathered together, so they are planning such a heaven-defying scheme." Yu Chengmu gritted his teeth with hatred, "But why is it this woman, and what kind of great opportunity does this woman have to make it worthwhile?" Did they pay that price?"

Yu Chengmu seemed to have fallen into madness, talking to himself all the time.

"Master, are you okay?" Zhang Junyu patted Yu Chengmu's back lightly, and Yu Chengmu came to his senses this time.

Noticing the way everyone was looking at him, Yu Chengmu frowned, and the first sentence he blurted made everyone's hearts tremble, "We are in big trouble this time, if I expected it right, the person in the water now Empress Dahe is no longer a ghost, she... she is about to become a fairy!"

"Becoming a fairy?" Lei Mingyu's eyes were filled with strangeness. In his impression, there are only two kinds of ghosts, and the weirdness above ghosts. What kind of fairy is it?
After Yu Chengmu calmed down, he took a deep breath, pointed to the Dushui River in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Look, although the surface of the Dushui River seems to be stable, there are still a few irregularities from left to right. Regular water patterns."

The fat man's eyes were very good. After counting the number of Yu Chengmu's fingers, he raised his head and said in surprise, "That's right, there are a total of 9 ripples in total."

"Each water pattern represents a dark whirlpool under the water. In the theory of yin and yang, nine is the extreme number, and there is no big deal." Yu Chengmu stared at the seemingly calm river, his voice trembling slightly, "They are Build piles of strangers, build a platform for corpses, and pave the road to immortality."

"Strange pile?" Zhang Junyu obviously understood the weight of the word, and his expression changed instantly.

Lei Mingyu was a little confused by the attitude of these two guys, "What is a stranger, can you explain it clearly?"

Jiang Cheng rubbed his chin, and said in a subtle tone: "I heard from a friend that he was in construction. When the construction team built bridges on rivers in some remote places, they would encounter situations where the bridge piles could not be firmly fixed. , Even if it is just laid, various situations will lead to collapse.”

"There is a superstitious saying that there are strange things in the river here. Unless sacrifices are made, the bridge will not be built anyway."

Having said that, Jiang Cheng's face became weird. He turned his head and looked at the vast river for crossing, "If the bridge is forced to be built, very strange things will happen."

"For example, workers familiar with water fell into the water for no reason and drowned, and the contractor was crushed to death by falling steel while inspecting the progress of the project."

"The strange thing is that as long as the bodies of these people are buried in the bridge piles, similar things will calm down and the bridge piles will not collapse again."

"Such bridge piles are called life piles, and the dead are sacrifices to the great river."

Yu Chengmu nodded and continued: "The 9 water patterns you see, each of which has a pile of dead people, which means that there are piles of dead bodies under each of them."

Speaking of this, everyone invariably recalled what the village chief said.

Not long ago, also by the Dushui River, the village head told them what happened in the village 10 years ago. At the bottom of the Dushui River, piles of corpses were once salvaged.

Seeing that everyone's expressions changed slightly, Yu Chengmu took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "That's right, now it seems that what they salvaged out of the water was the pile of strangers at the bottom of the river."

"What do you mean by Dengxian Road?" The fat man asked nervously.

"I once saw in a dilapidated ancient book that each year, for nine years in a row, it will be cast into nine living piles, which can be used to build a corpse platform and pave a road leading to heaven." Yu Chengmu explained.

"This is ridiculous. I don't believe that this road to the sky can really lead to the sky. There are also things like immortality. Where there are gods, this is not a book on cultivating immortals." Lei Mingyu seemed to be relieved from the initial surprise, showing a trace Disdain.

"And the time calculation is not correct." Lei Mingyu said seriously: "According to the village chief, the strange things happened in the village 10 years ago, but if there is a pile of new people every year, the road to heaven was as early as a year ago. It was built, and it didn’t wait for us to come.”

Du Moyu interrupted him with a sad face, "You're wrong, you didn't count the bodies that were salvaged."

After a while, Lei Mingyu suddenly realized, "Those corpses are one of the living piles. It was originally built, but it was destroyed because it was pulled out of the water."

"That's it." Yu Chengmu made a final decision, "So...their entire plan has been postponed for one year, and this year is the tenth year, which is when the ninth birth stake is completed."

"These shady people want to achieve Taoism and become immortals by building a road to the sky?" Although Chen Hao also finds it unbelievable, the current evidence points to this result.

He thinks that Yu Chengmu's speculation is tenable, at least most of it is true.

Yu Chengmu shook his head slowly, "It's not that they want to become immortals, they can't become immortals at all, but Empress Dahe, they want to enshrine Empress Dahe to become immortals."

"Why?" Jiang Cheng immediately asked: "These shady people have paid such a high price for a full 10 years, but for a woman they have never met?"

"That's right, it doesn't make sense." The fat man chimed in.

"What do you know!" Being questioned one after another, Yu Chengmu's expression was slightly angry. These people don't have his knowledge, and they don't understand how critical the situation they are facing now.

"The Yinxing people naturally have their calculations. The Yinxing seniors who came to this mountain village are all top figures in their respective professions. These people have too much karma. If I guess correctly, I will leave it to them. Time is running out, they... want to gather together to escape the catastrophe."

"No, it's right to resist the catastrophe!" Yu Chengmu suddenly became excited, "Use Empress Dahe to fight against this catastrophe!"
