Chapter 053 Soul Valley

A group of ten from the sentry lit a bonfire.

Zhou Charter and Jin Shu's mother and daughter sat by a bonfire. Ha Wu and Yao Xi were waiting beside them, but it wasn't long before these two guys snored like thunder.

Jin Shu's mother leaned under a small tree and shrugged her head.

Zhou Charter plucked the fire with a branch and said, "Wo girl..."

"You promised, don't ask any more questions." Jin Shu said warily.

Zhou Charter smiled bitterly, and the little girl seemed to see through his mind.

There was already a lot of snoring around. The day's march was too physical exhausting, and these Qing troops from the plain could not adapt to the mountain march at all.

Zhou Charter grew up in the mountains of western Hunan and knows how to save physical strength. Although he is a little tired, he is not exhausted.

Zhou Charter is not sleepy, not just because he is not tired.

He felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this camp valley.

Since I set foot on the land of North Korea, I have been marching on mountain roads all day. Most of the mountains in North Korea are very steep. Thousands of walls stand straight up and down. The road is narrow, like the road cut out from the cracks of the mountains. Only the sun can be seen at noon. After noon, the mountain road will be dark.

However, the sunset can be seen here.

This is a valley, with an open terrain surrounded by gentle slopes and dense pine forests. The pine forests are dark and quiet, without the sound of birds or even the chirping of summer insects. It is very gloomy.

Zhou Charter has some ominous foreboding, but he can't explain what's wrong with this valley.

"Woth, I'm not asking about your family."

"Then what do you want to ask?"

"What is this place?"

"I don't know. My mother and I left North Korea by boat and didn't go through here. My mother should know. I'll ask her. Jin Shu turned around and muttered with her mother for a while. Her mother looked melancholy and nodded to Jin Shu.

Jin Shu turned to Zhou Charter and her eyes were full of panic.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Charter asked.

"My mother said that this is not a good place."

Zhou Charter became nervous: "What's going on?" Hold the gun tightly.

"Mom said that the mountain we walked today is called Dead Bone Peak, and the place we are sitting now is called Fenghun Valley."

"Withered bone peak, sealed soul valley? What's the name?"

Jin Shu moved to Zhou Charter's side and her voice trembled slightly: "My mother said that this is not a place where people live, but a place where ghosts live."

Zhou Charter laughed: "Your mother is so superstitious that it's the 21st century..."

"What is the 21st century?"

Zhou Charter realized that it was not the 21st century, but the end of the 19th century. At this time, the Qing Dynasty had just opened its eyes to see the world. North Korea was closed and the people were ignorant. Whether it was ordinary people or officials, ghosts and gods were popular.

"What did your mother say?" Zhou Charter asked.

"My mother said that this place was not called Fenghun Valley, but Baihua Valley. A long time ago, you sent a general named Xue Rengui to beat us in Korea. Our Goryeo hero Yuan Gai Suwen fought a battle with Xue Rengui here and killed Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui couldn't defeat Yuan Gai Suwen, so he pretended to surrender and let Yuan Gai Suwen come to Baihua Valley to surrender. Yuan Gai Su Wenxin thought it was true and sent 5,000 people into Baihua Valley. As a result, Xue Rengui burned a fire and put Baihua Valley together with him. The 5,000 Koreans burned to ashes.

Zhou Charter was secretly surprised and looked around. The valley was wide and the valley mouth was very narrow. Once the valley mouth was closed, it was really a good battlefield for fire attack.

"After the death of the 5,000 Koreans, there was a plague in Xue Rengui's army and many people died. Xue Rengui knew that it was the ghosts of the Goryeo people. When he asked him for his life, he invited a mage to seal the ghosts of the Koreans in the valley with spells, and the Valley of Flowers became the Valley of Souls. Later, Yuan Gai Suwen brought a large army to avenge the Goryeo people, which destroyed Xue Rengui's whole army. Only Xue Rengui ran away, and all his men were killed by Yuan Gai Suwen in Baihua Valley.

Zhou Charter secretly sighed that in China, whether it is the official history or the wild history, Xue Rengui is a great hero, while Yuan Gai Suwen is a big villain. In the minds of the North Korean people, the position of the two is exactly the opposite. Yuan Gai Suwen is a great hero, while Xue Rengui is a cruel executioner!

History is developing and mankind is progressing, but whether it is the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the 8th century, the late Qing Dynasty in the 19th century or China in the 21st century, one thing has not changed - national interests and national feelings are the ultimate criteria for judging a person.

Jin Shu continued to say, "Because of the charm, the 5,000 Korean souls can't get out of the valley and can't live, and the Tang Dynasty people killed in the Fenghun Valley by Yuan Gai Suwen can't get out of the valley. Their souls are still fighting in the valley for a thousand years. Until now, when it is windy and rainy, they can still hear the shouts of their war. Therefore, the people are far away and no one dares to enter the valley. Even the beasts dare not come in."

The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, not to mention the beasts, not even the chirping of summer insects, only a bright moon, sprinkled pale moonlight from the cliff.

Zhou Charter felt a chill on his back.

"Brother Zhou, are you Chinese as bad as Xue Rengui?" Jin Shu asked weakly.

Jin Shu's mother leaned against the tree, with two sad cold light in her eyes.

Zhou Charter is speechless. In the eyes of Jin Shu's mother and daughter, Xue Rengui is a bad guy, but in the eyes of Chinese people, he is a great hero.

If every Chinese dares to act like Xue Rengui, the current Qing Dynasty will be a different situation, at least it will not be bullied by foreigners. But if this is the case, the people of the surrounding countries will be unlucky.

This is a dead knot. National competition is cruel, and the law of the jungle is the eternal principle of the world.

Jin Shu shook her head: "Not everyone in the Qing Dynasty is as bad as Xue Rengui."

"How do you know?"

"At least Brother Zhou, you are a good person." Jin Shu lowered her head shyly.

Zhou Charter laughed and said, "But I want to be Xue Rengui."

"You are a good person even if you become Xue Rengui!" Jin Shu's voice is very low and resolute.

Zhou Charter's chest is hot.

If one day he can hold thousands of troops and horses, sweep thousands of troops and cross the world like Xue Rengui, he must also be a good man! Because Jin Shu's words are orders!

Zhou Charter stood up: "You guys take a rest."

"Brother Zhou, where are you going?" Jin Shu became nervous.

"I'll see if there are any ghosts." Zhou Charter laughed. The whole sentry soldiers slept like dead pigs. Zhou Charter couldn't bear to wake up any soldiers, so he had to stand guard by himself.

"Don't go far, I..." Jin Shu blushed: "I'm afraid."

"Then Hawu and Yao Xi will protect you and your mother."

Jin Shu bit her lip: "That uncle is a good man, but, I'm still afraid. Brother Zhou, just promise me." Jin Shu regarded Zhou Charter as her protector.

Zhou Charter smiled and said, "I won't go far. Sleep in peace and be good."

"Hmm!" Jin Shu nodded solemnly.

Zhou Charter picked up the 1888 committee rifle and walked to the dark pine forest.

The valley is high and low in the south, with pine forests in the north, cliffs in the south, and a rugged path in the east and west. In Zhou Charter's view, most of the danger will come from the pine forests in the north, although he himself does not know what the danger will be.

This area is in northern North Korea. After the Japanese army landed in Incheon, North Korea, in order to seize the initiative in North Korea and to put strong pressure on the North Korean government, all the troops were gathered near the capital of North Korea. With the current Japanese troops, they did not have the ability to advance north, and China and Japan did not declare war. Therefore, there should be no Japanese here.

As for the North Korean people, Zhou Charter is not very worried. In the past few days, although the North Korean people have passed through, although their expressions are dull and their attitude towards the Qing army is generally friendly. They will not take the initiative to help the Qing army, but they will never make trouble.

However, tonight, in this strange valley, Zhou Charter felt an inexplicable atmosphere, which made him very uneasy.

Zhou Charter didn't want to camp here, but when he got here, he was just in time for the sunset, and the soldiers were exhausted and wanted to drive this group of hungry soldiers with soft soles to march at night, which may be more dangerous.

Zhou Charter walked to the pine forest and looked into the forest. The moonlight fell, and the pine needles on the treetops remained motionless, emitting a penetrating silver light. The forest was dark and nothing could be seen.

There is no wind, and the pine forest is surprisingly quiet.

Zhou Charter's heart skipped and screamed badly!

There is someone in the forest!

This so-called soul valley has no trace of birds and beasts, which can only prove that it has never been clean here!

After being a hunter in the mountains of western Hunan for more than ten years, Zhou Charter knows that it is not ghosts but people that can make beasts extinct!

And they are not a minority, but a lot of people! Hundreds or even thousands!

Only hundreds of people can extermix this huge valley birds and beasts.

So many people can quietly pretend to be ghosts here! This proves that they have strong discipline. They are by no means ordinary people. They should be an army! At least, it is a paramilitary organization!

In the dark pine forest, there are thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him!

Zhou Charter was terrmented, with a layer of goose bumps all over his body and suddenly turned around.

Two white figures appeared in front of him, like the impermanent ghost of the soul!

The strange fragrance hit his nose, and Zhou Charter's eyes were black and he fell down softly.
