Chapter 806 Erlin Town
"Haha..." Blind One said with a miserable laugh, "Only then did I truly understand the despair of being unable to resist!"
"We used every method we could, even abandoning our past grievances to fight together, but none of us were her match!"
"That woman slaughtered Erlin Town in just seven days. She not only killed everyone in the town but also moved the entire town here."
"That woman imprisoned our souls, trapping us in Erlin Town, and ordered us to find her child. Whoever finds the child, she will let go."
"But, how do we know where that child is?"
"Over the years, we've almost dug three feet into the ground, but we still haven't found the child. I even doubt if that child exists at all?"
Blind One stopped here, sitting there sighing.
I said in a deep voice, "Then why did you trick me into coming outside the town?"
"This..." Blind One didn't know what to say for a moment.
I said lightly, "You don't want me to go find that woman, do you?"
I wasn't trying to trick Blind One; I genuinely felt that he wanted me to find that woman.
If Blind One was telling the truth, then the peach blossom forest on the east side of the town should be where they ambushed that woman back then. The disciples of the Guiguan Sect (Ghost Coffin Sect) turned themselves into human coffins, wanting to imprison that woman. But they not only failed but also lost their lives in vain.
That place definitely doesn't have that woman's child. Blind One tricked me into going there just to have me deal with that woman.
The story Blind One is telling me now is only the first half of the Erlin Town mystery.
At least, I know the origin of Erlin Town and why it appeared underground.
However, what I don't know is why Erlin Town was sealed off from the outside, and why the Na family killed innocent people and dug through the tunnel to Erlin Town.
What happened after Xue Li Hong entered Erlin Town?
How did Xie Sanbao get to Erlin Town?
Only by unraveling these mysteries can I get out of this town.
However, I also know that these mysteries need to be sorted out slowly. Without clarifying the cause, it's difficult to ask about the consequences.
I stared at Blind One and said, "I ask you, how did Erlin Town get its name? Were the peach blossom forest and plum blossom forest there from the beginning? Or were the two forests planted later?"
"They were there from the beginning!" Blind One said, "If it weren't for these two forests, we wouldn't be so sure that the Greedy Wolf would be born here."
"When we came here, we discovered those two forests. It's not strange to have one or two peach or plum trees in the mountains, but it's rare to see such large patches of flower forests."
"Wild trees generally don't grow in any particular pattern, but those two forests seemed to have been planned, growing neatly on both sides, with a space left in the middle."
"The sorcerers who came here in the past all felt that there was something strange about the two forests, but no one discovered the secrets within them."
Blind One said, whether in emotion or unintentionally, "Those two forests are like two beauties, only letting you see their appearance, but not letting you see all of them."
"When we built Erlin Town, we deliberately isolated the two forests outside the town. Any buildings close to the forests were either walls or hidden arrays."
"Everyone was guarding against those two forests, but those two forests have always been at peace with us."
I nodded before continuing to ask, "Then I ask you, who are the two wives that the Na family married?"
"I don't know!" Blind One shook his head, "That day, we sent out a lot of people to track the Na family, but the people we sent out never came back. However..."
Blind One changed the subject, "One thing I can be sure of is that the Na family brought back were definitely not living people."
"When the news of the Greedy Wolf's birth spread throughout the martial world, a ghost rhyme also appeared: Five tombs open the heavenly prison, the Greedy Wolf God General will not return to court. Welcome the ghosts and gods, form a family by marriage, the Greedy Wolf God General will surely return home."
My eyes narrowed, "Who sang that ghost rhyme?"
Throughout history, behind every nursery rhyme, there may be a shocking conspiracy, or some unknown secret.
The ghost rhymes mentioned in the art of divination are the songs sung by little ghosts in the middle of the night.
Whenever a ghost rhyme appears, a major event will inevitably occur in the martial world.
Blind One shook his head and said, "I don't know. Our Fengmen (Wind Gate) once investigated the origin of that rhyme and even sent people to capture the ghost who sang it. But the result was nothing."
"Later, after the Na family's woman bloodbathed Erlin Town, I understood what the second half of that nursery rhyme meant."
"It was saying that the Na family married a ghost god as a wife and gave birth to a child who was neither dead nor alive. The Greedy Wolf should be like Po Jun (Army Disruptor) and Qisha (Seven Killings), both half-ghost."
