Capítulo 1338: Chapter 1338: Wailing of Ten Thousand Ghosts
Xun Tianhai agreed: “Yes, I felt it didn’t match… Perhaps subconsciously, I thought I was hearing things, so I didn’t take it to heart.”
If it weren’t for Jiangli and Fu Shiyan’s questioning, he would have long forgotten this detail.
“An open space with the sound of water, what kind of place could that be?” Fu Shiyan ignored Qing Yue and Xun Tianhai, turning to ask Jiangli.
Jiangli pondered deeply.
Xia Xin suddenly said, “Could it be a mountain cave?”
Jiangli and Fu Shiyan both looked at him.
Xia Xin instantly tensed up.
Jiangli: “A mountain cave?”
Xia Xin said nervously: “Yeah, um… I, I went with my master to find a Yin House for soone before. After we went into the mountains, it started pouring rain, so we ran into a mountain cave to take shelter. At that ti, I don’t know if it was because the humidity outside was too high, but there was a lot of moisture in the cave forming into droplets, gathering on the cave walls, and then dropping with a ‘splat’ sound. I heard that sound, and it echoed…”
When Jiangli and Fu Shiyan asked earlier, those images ca to his mind imdiately.
He felt the sound was quite similar.
Jiangli thought for a mont and said, “It’s not impossible.”
“It can’t be, right…” Xun Tianhai couldn’t help but refute: “I clearly felt back then that I was trapped within a bunch of tree roots, unable to move. How could there be so many tree roots in a mountain cave? Maybe I heard wrong?”
Jiangli said calmly: “Tree roots wouldn’t cause such wounds.”
Xun Tianhai, upon hearing this, looked at the wounds on his body. “Could these be scratches from tree leaves?”
“It could be tree leaves, but it might also be the edges of so small tal,” Fu Shiyan said, examining the wounds on Xun Tianhai’s body.
Xun Tianhai asked in confusion: “What kind of tal edges could cause such wounds?”
“I don’t know,” Fu Shiyan replied earnestly.
Xun Tianhai: “…”
“But I did feel tied up back then.” Xun Tianhai still couldn’t understand.
Jiangli said: “This is just a hypothesis, it’s uncertain, but it’s a direction. It’s better to have a thought than sit here in a daze.”
Xun Tianhai: “…”
That is true.
He propped himself up to stand, “So, Abbot, what do we do now?”
“Let’s see if there’s a cave in Dangshan, especially a large one,” Jiangli said, turning to continue walking into the mountains.
Xun Tianhai asked: “Why are we looking for a big cave?”
“Because I vaguely rember there’s a very large Myriad Ghosts Cave in Dangshan.”
Jiangli replied while walking.
Xun Tianhai stood up, his body a bit shaky, looking sowhat weak.
Qing Yue noticed this and offered him support.
He thanked her and then looked toward Jiangli to ask: “Myriad Ghosts Cave?”
“Yes, it seems there is,” Jiangli’s voice carried a hint of self-questioning uncertainty, “but I can’t rember clearly.”
Xun Tianhai thought back confusedly, “How co I’ve never heard of it?”
Qing Yue said: “I’ve heard of it, but it’s an old legend. My sister once told that there used to be occurrences of Myriad Ghosts weeping in Dangshan, scaring off the villagers nearby.”
Xun Tianhai exclaid in shock: “Such a thing happened?”
Xia Xin also leaned over, “Myriad Ghosts weeping, that terrifying?”
“I don’t know the specifics,” Qing Yue smiled a bit, “I’ve only heard my sister ntion it once or twice, but I’ve never co to check Dangshan.”
“Why would there be Myriad Ghosts weeping?” Xun Tianhai looked around warily, feeling uneasy, “When would it happen?”
