I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

A previous collapse caused a lot of damage to the rock layer of this section of the cave wall, thus revealing the situation inside.

The more Gu Jiu looked, the more frightened he became, because after walking only a hundred steps, he found that there were too many bones here. They were so densely packed here that it gave people a feeling of endlessness.

Gu Jiu even had an illusion that the stone wall was full of people, and they were all looking at him.

He couldn't help but think of the saying "hitting people with stakes" that he had heard before on Earth. It meant that if accidents kept happening while the construction team was building bridges in the deep mountains and forests, it proved that there were mountain gods and ghosts causing trouble.

The best way at this time is to use living people as piles in the building, which is equivalent to performing some kind of cruel sacrifice to appease the mountain gods and ghosts so that the project can proceed smoothly.

When Gu Jiu saw the pockmarked woman being so afraid of the mountain god of Yinshan, he naturally thought of the strange rumor he had heard on Earth before.

Building such a tunnel in these deep mountains would be an impossible task even on Earth, but it was accomplished in this world. The price paid is naturally difficult to estimate.

The reason why there are rumors of cannibalism in the Yinshan Tunnel is not only after it was built, but also before it was built.

Over the years, several generations have come and gone, and at least millions of laborers have come in to open the mountain. In the end, less than three in ten people survived. This shows how difficult and cruel mining was. It is no exaggeration to say that this tunnel was built with human lives.

What is even more horrifying is that it is said that most of the dead people have no remains left. The families of some civilians made trouble, but were quickly and brutally suppressed.

No one can tell where these people's bodies went, but the most common rumor is that they were eaten by mountain gods.

Looking at these white bones densely embedded in the cave wall, Gu Jiuzhi felt a chill on his back.

After entering the tunnel, he found that the tunnel was too long. It was difficult to keep it running for such a long distance in modern society.

This was enough to prove that the Empress must have used some means unknown to him when building this tunnel, and now he seemed to understand a little.

If these people were human stakes, it would only mean that the Yinshan Mountain God had an appetite that was too big, but what if they weren't?

This Yinshan Tunnel is so long but rarely collapses and can still operate normally, which shows that its structure is very stable.

Are these bones the important factor in ensuring structural stability?

If this is true, then this tunnel can be renamed the Bone Tunnel.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiu felt his scalp tingling.

Just imagine those tens of thousands of laborers poured into this mountain, serving as the backbone of this tunnel. What a chilling picture it is.

At this moment, Gu Jiu finally understood why the wind in the entire cave was like that.

There are tens of thousands, or even millions of wronged souls wailing!

Gu Jiu returned to the car and continued driving.

It can be seen that his expression is a little solemn and his face is a little pale.

The collapsed road was soon completed and no more bones appeared. Gu Jiu hoped that his inference was wrong.

But every time he thought of those bones, the tragic scene of living people being cast into the cave wall would always appear in his mind.

They struggled to climb out of the mud and rocks, their nails were all broken and blood was flowing, but they could only be trapped in there forever.

Listen, the wind in your ears is their crying.

……

After walking for about two cups of tea, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the front.

The sound of horse hooves was particularly rapid, and judging from the sound, there were quite a few of them.

Gu Jiu soon discovered that it was an army.

These female soldiers rode on horses, holding torches in their hands, and quickly approached Gu Jiu and his men.

After discovering that there were people ahead, the leading general gave an order and the army of less than 500 people stopped.

At this time, the female soldier general slowly walked over with her men.

The tunnel was not spacious, so the carriage driven by Su Ying had to stop and make way for the other party.

But the female general rode straight over and said, "I heard there was a collapse ahead. How did you get here?"

Su Ying didn't know how to answer for a moment, and thought to herself, do you want me to say that the landslide was wiped out by my Xiaojiu?

Seeing Su Ying hesitant, the female general was about to attack, when Gu Jiu's voice came from the carriage: "General, there aren't many rocks in the landslide. We squeezed over from the side."

The female general frowned slightly, realizing that the other party's statement was inconsistent with the intelligence she had received. She could not help but say to her subordinates, "You go to the front and take a look. As for you two, wait here for now."

Gu Jiu sat in the car with a frown on his face.

Yes, they were detained.

Chapter 30 Only the Back

Gu Jiu and Su Ying's carriage was stopped. From the expressions of these female soldiers, it could be seen that they were very unfriendly.

Gu Jiu was bored and hungry, so he took out the braised pork and noodles that he had prepared long ago, added some water, and then his palms turned red and steamed the bottom of the iron bowl. A bowl of hot braised pork noodles was ready.

Master Gu’s braised pork noodles are even more convenient and delicious than Master Kong’s.

Gu Jiu handed the noodles to Su Ying, but Su Ying shook her head, indicating that she had no appetite.

It can be seen that she is a little anxious about this ill-intentioned army.

Gu Jiu didn't take it seriously and just sat inside to eat noodles.

Soon, the female soldier who went to investigate came back.

After the female soldier whispered in the female general's ear, the female general immediately waved her hand, and a dozen female soldiers surrounded the carriage where Gu Jiu and Su Ying were.

Looking at the cold knives that were revealed, Gu Jiu sat down with a bowl of noodles in his hand and asked, "What do you mean, General?"

The sound of his voice startled Su Ying.

This is because Gu Jiu's voice now sounds like a woman's, and it's very charming.

When Gu Jiu pretends to be a woman, she seems to be quite convincing.

After noticing that Gu Jiu was wearing a bamboo hat and didn't dare to show his face, and that his voice had changed, the female general naturally thought that he was up to something. She snorted coldly and said, "I see you two have worked hard, so please go have some tea."

Gu Jiu took a mouthful of noodles and said, "General, you are too polite. Why would you draw your sword just to have some tea? General, don't you know the principle of 'capsulating in the ditch'?"

The female general smiled and said, "There's no need to bluff. Tell the truth. You saw something you shouldn't have seen, and this is the only outcome."

"What's the ending?" Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows.

"Death. What other outcome could there be except death?" The female general's eyes were cold and her attitude was very tough, as if she didn't take Gu Jiu's previous words seriously at all.

Gu Jiu looked at this well-trained army and couldn't help but smile slightly.

It can be seen that this is not an ordinary army.

From the fact that this army can march on horseback in such a cave, it can be seen that they should be a special forces similar to the Black Armor Army.

Such a tunnel is of great significance both strategically and in terms of transportation convenience for the entire Tang State, so it naturally needs maintainers.

The maintainers of the tunnel's surface, the pale-faced soldiers stationed there, were not capable of shouldering this responsibility, but the army before them could.

Gu Jiu was still eating noodles, and while he was eating, he said, "Aren't you afraid that our commander will hold you accountable? Can you bear it?"

"What a joke! All under heaven belongs to the king. So what if your sect is so powerful? Do you dare to challenge the emperor? And you must know that this tunnel is designed to eat people." The female general obviously wanted to test the strength of Gu Jiu and the others, so she hasn't taken action until now.

Gu Jiu shook his head and said, "I just don't understand. We have come all this way safely, but what taboo did we touch that caused the general to treat us like this?"

"You saw something you shouldn't have seen!" the female general said coldly.

Seeing that Gu Jiu was still so calm and composed, she still had some doubts in her heart.

After all, if someone had never seen the world, they would have been scared silly by them and would not have been able to respond so fluently.

Gu Jiu said, "It's such a mess here, with gravel on the ground. We were too busy driving to see anything."

At this time, there seemed to be a hint of submission in Gu Jiu's pretentious female voice.

The female general's expression eased slightly, and she said, "Since you haven't seen it, then you two should come with us. Wouldn't it be better to wait for your commander to come and pick you up?"

Gu Jiu said: "What if there is no commander to pick me up?"

After hearing these words, the female general's face turned pale, and under the flickering firelight, she looked like a ferocious evil ghost.

She slowly drew the sword from her waist and said, "I told you this tunnel will eat people. I really don't want to talk to you all this time, only to find it was all nonsense."

You can see that she is angry.

The reason why she talked so much with Gu Jiu was naturally because Gu Jiu's behavior made her feel that his identity was not simple.

It is not uncommon for these little guys to go out for a stroll without their teachers. Although this female general is cold-hearted, she also wants to make some good friends.

But judging from Gu Jiu's performance now, she felt like she was being teased.

At this time, Gu Jiu put down the bowl and said, "General, you want to know our identities, but I'm really sorry, my aunt and I are the only two of us, and we don't really have any backing."

After hearing this, the female general could not help but say coldly: "Very good, very good, very good! I actually wasted so much time arguing with two little guys in the Concentration Realm."

As she said that, she dismounted, holding a cold knife, obviously ready to kill Gu Jiu and Su Ying with her own hands.

A big part of the reason why Gu Jiu classified this army as a special army of the Tang Dynasty like the Xuanjia Army was because this female general was a cultivator close to the fifth level of the Divine Mind Realm.

Once the natal object of a cultivator in the fifth realm of divine consciousness is cultivated, he can control the weapon to kill people, and his offensive methods will become mysterious and unpredictable. He can be said to have the means of a god.

Reaching this level of cultivation was naturally a remarkable achievement. Even in a large sect like Ba Xue Liu Pavilion, one could become a figure revered by the elders.

Although the female general in front of him has not yet reached the fifth realm, she is not far away, which is enough to prove her special identity.

You have to know that soldiers are in the secular world, and the conditions for cultivation are much simpler than those in a sect. How could someone who can reach this level under such circumstances not be valued by the court?

Such a person, as long as he has a brain, is more than capable of commanding an army of tens of thousands. However, the number of troops commanded by the female general in front of him is only a thousand, and the soldiers are well-trained. If this is not a special force similar to the Black Armor Army, what is it?

This kind of army usually only accepts orders from the empress, and will not show mercy when killing people. Not to mention ordinary civilians, I'm afraid they will even "eat" the practitioners of the sect.

After “eating” something, the blame was passed on to the Yinshan Mountain God. Who can be held accountable?

What they want to protect is a secret, but unfortunately, they think Gu Jiu has seen the secret.

Now that Gu Jiu has made it clear that he has no background and only his back, it is naturally clear what this female general who has wasted so much time talking wants to do.

What she wanted to do, of course, was to cut off Gu Jiu's head with her own hands to vent her anger.

Gu Jiu looked at the man holding the cold knife and asked in surprise, "General, are you planning to finish me off yourself?"

The female general said coldly, "What do you think?"

Gu Jiu couldn't help but hurriedly said, "My aunt and I have practiced hard, and we have finally made some progress. Can't the general let us go?"

The female general smiled coldly and said, "What a pity! People with your talents are worthy of the empire's training, but you make me unhappy!"

The female general's meaning was very clear. Here, she was the local emperor and no one could control her.

The environment in this tunnel is harsh, and people who live here for a long time will inevitably become violent, and this female general is no exception.

The next moment, the female general raised her sword and chopped off Gu Jiu's head without saying a word!

(PS: There is one more chapter, it will be published later.)

Chapter 31 The Pot Falls from the Sky

The cold blade turned into a bright arc, like a crescent moon, cutting towards Gu Jiu's neck.

Gu Jiu sat there without moving, as if he was frightened silly.

Although this kind of knife is not fancy, it gives people a feeling of being unavoidable.

Military combat is about practicality and decisiveness. Some people have closed their eyes, as if they saw the scene of Gu Jiu's head falling to the ground.

But the next moment, the picture stopped.

The knife in the female general's hand stopped in mid-air, only an inch away from the back of Gu Jiu's neck, but it still stopped abruptly.

It was as if an invisible hand was holding the knife, and the scene looked a little weird.

Then the next moment, the female soldiers nearby couldn't help but scream and were so scared that they almost fell to the ground.

Because they discovered that there was an extra chopstick on their leader's chest.

A chopstick stuck in the chest!

The chopstick directly penetrated the female general's thick armor and cut into her flesh like a knife cutting into tofu.

One of the chopsticks in Gu Jiu's hand was missing, and the other chopstick was still wandering between his fingers.

Gu Jiu seemed to have done nothing at all and looked very relaxed.

"Don't worry, it's still an inch away from your heart, but this one is hard to say." With that, Gu Jiu turned around and faced the female general.
