Chapter 281: Ten years of life and death
To say that Bai Di is so big, there is nothing else to be afraid of except his father Bai Huan. When he said this, his little friend suddenly showed an envious look, but one person was not convinced, and pointed to the Bai family ancestral hall standing on the shore of Suling Lake and said, "I don't believe it, you dare to go in and take a look!"
Bai Di suddenly snorted coldly, and said quite old-fashionedly: "What's so difficult about that, I have already entered with my grandfather at last year's sacrificial ceremony." ”
The other party said: "I'm not talking about the upper floor, haven't you heard of it, there is another floor below the ancestral hall." Legend has it that there lived a terrible demon with blood-red eyes, such a big mouth, and two saw-like fangs that ate the hearts of children!"
"It's terrifying!" the other children couldn't help but look frightened. The boy who told the story couldn't help but show a smug look, and turned his face to look at Bai Di defiantly.
Bai Di was naturally unconvinced, and pretended to be calm: "So what, I still dare to go, I'm not like you, I'm a coward!"
The other party stuck out his tongue: "Then let's make a bet, and we'll go in tonight and take a look." ”
Bai Ning, who was beside him, hurriedly said: "Bai Di, let's not be angry with him, my mother told me that it is a forbidden place inside, and you can't go in." ”
Bai Di didn't care, and only said to Bai Di: "I'm afraid that you will cheat, let's set the rules first, and we must bring something out of it before we can really go in." ”
Bai Di said confidently: "This is simple, you just wait to admit defeat." ”
The group of children played for a while, and when it was time for dinner, they reluctantly went home after seeing the adults call a few times. Bai Di pretended to have something in his heart, so he hurriedly ate and said to his father Bai Huan: "Dad, I'll go to grandpa's place to play." ”
He went back to his room and stuffed something into his arms, then trotted out the door, wandered around the neighborhood, and waited until it was dark and there were fewer people around, and then quietly walked towards the ancestral hall.
The Bai family ancestral hall has always been closed, but this is not difficult for Bai Di. He looked at an old tree with a crooked neck, and the sloping trunk of the tree was more than half protruding into the ancestral hall, like a natural ladder.
He was very agile, and he jumped up the tree after dividing it by two, and then climbed the flexible branch and landed firmly on the patio of the ancestral hall.
It was dark inside, except for a row of candles lit on the ancestral tablet. He was suddenly frightened in his heart, but as soon as he thought of Bai Di's smug appearance, he gritted his teeth and walked inside.
When he walked to the futon in front of the tablet, he bowed three times reverently, and said in his mouth that his mother had recited before her death: "Bless me with a smooth trip, get a good thing, and pick up the sharpness of that kid in Bai Di." ”
He stood up and walked around. I turned each futon over and lifted the cloth on the table, but I still couldn't find any exit. He couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that Bai Di's kid lied, this ancestral hall only has one floor, and there is no dark room at all." ”
He still didn't give up, searched up and down, and finally made a discovery. According to the customs of Hongmeng Town, there is a yin well in the center of the ancestral hall, which is usually covered and will only be opened during the sacrifice. The mouth of the well was not wide, but it was more than enough for one person to pass through.
Is that the entrance?" he thought, and quickly removed the manhole cover. Strange to say, there was no one in the well, and he threw a pebble down, and heard it hit the bluestone floor with a thud, and then rolled to the side with a thud.
He couldn't help but cheer, there was indeed a hole in the sky below. He removed the scarf banner from the side, wrapped it around the nearby stone pillar, and slipped down carefully.
It was also dark inside, so he took out Gong Cao Yuque, one of the twelve yuan chens that he had hidden before, from his arms, and slowly injected spiritual power to light it up. Yuque emitted a faint light, like a small lamp like a firefly, which instantly chilled his surroundings.
He looked around and saw that the space below was even wider than the one above. He became excited, but also a little frightened, and quieted his surroundings, so he tentatively shouted, "Yes, anyone?"
He pricked up his ears and listened intently, only his echo came back quickly, which relieved him for a moment. Carrying the jade que, he wandered around.
At last he walked back and forth the four walls, which were as wide as two ancestral halls, but the inside was empty, and there was nothing but the white scarf flags.
He couldn't help but muster his courage and walked towards the center of the place, for he faintly seemed to see a boxy thing crawling somewhere.
Don't look at the other person who is small, but the steps are very fast, and he ran to the vicinity of the thing. He took a picture of Yuque like this, and in the next second, he hurriedly retreated a few steps with a sigh, and when a heart fell back into his stomach, he scolded in a low voice: "Who is so lacking in virtue, it is scary to put a big coffin here......"
He was really bold, and when the frightened mood passed, he leaned over there curiously, and found that it was a dusty sarcophagus, very tall, the coffin lid was fastened to the ground, and two yellow talismans were attached to the waist, which was very strange.
He muttered in his heart, "Is there that demon locked up here?"
Suddenly, he smiled: "I want to see his appearance, so that Bai Di and they are envious, maybe only I have seen his true face?"
His mind moved, and his hands were not idle, and he gently pulled the yellow talisman open, and then pushed the lid of the coffin hard. It's a pity that others are weak and weak, even if they use the strength to feed, it still doesn't move.
He has never admitted defeat, his eyes rolled, and he had an idea, pasted the jade que, and said softly: "Little tiger, little tiger, you must help me today, open this coffin, okay?"
It's strange to say, just as he was chattering, the jade que suddenly burst out of a brilliance, as if a gust of wind blew and hit the sarcophagus, and then, he heard a soft click, and the sarcophagus lid really slowly moved away a little.
A cold breath came to his face instantly, Bai Di shivered, rubbed his arms, and still poked his head over. However, the temperature around him plummeted, and there was a fog, and he tried several times, but he still couldn't see what was going on inside.
In a hurry, he pushed the entire coffin lid away, and when the white mist dissipated, the situation inside the sarcophagus was finally unobstructed.
Bai Di only glanced at it, and was stunned in place, there was no green and fanged demon in it at all, but a young man in his twenties.
He lay inside with his eyes closed, unable to tell whether he was dead or alive. But when Bai Di took a closer look, he suddenly found a very strange place - the center of the person's eyebrows, limbs, and shoulders were actually penetrated by seven nails more than a foot long and nailed to the coffin.
Although Bai Di is young, he also knows a lot, and when he recalls the discussions that the adults have hidden, he can't help but say: "This seems to be called the Seven Nails Soul Sealing Mantra, that is, after killing a person, his soul is sealed in his body, and he suffers the pain of that cone every day, and he will never be able to live beyond his life......
But this is used to deal with those demons and monsters, and this big brother doesn't look like a bad guy, right? I'll help him and let him reincarnate as soon as possible. ”
He immediately felt compassion, struggled to climb the sarcophagus, and reached out to pull out the seven nails one by one. He looked at them, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and said with a smile: "This thing looks strange, Bai Di that guy must not have seen it, so I'll take it back and test him!"
He carefully put away his things, carefully crawled back to the ancestral hall, and sneaked out. He didn't notice that just as he was leaving, the man in the sarcophagus slowly opened his eyes.
"Now I will insert a message for you, since May 1, there have been three vicious murders in Xiongcheng. At five o'clock in the morning today, the Xiongcheng City Public Security Bureau received another call to the police, and Ye Xuan, the captain of the criminal police brigade, personally led the team to the scene of the crime.
The wall-mounted TV in the small restaurant broadcasts the latest news, and the diners are all outsiders who have come to travel, sitting in a group in twos and threes, discussing without saying a word.
At one of the tables sat two pairs of men and women, young and presumably college students from a nearby school. Both girls are tall and thin, with thin eyebrows and big eyes, which is very pleasing. The two boys had their own characteristics, one was short and fat, the other was tall and thin, like a pair of fat and thin heads.
The short and fat man was named Chen Dong, and he said with great interest: "Isn't the place where the crime occurred on Taiping Street near our school? Otherwise, what a shame it would be to say it, my dignified Hushan Nandouxuan Shaoxuan Shaoxuan's signboard was smashed like this. ”
"What is the young master, your heir has reached the two hundredth, if you are less in charge, then I, Lu Xi, am not a disciple of Daiguang Villa......" The tall and thin man complained, pointing to the beautiful girl on the left, and said with a smile, "Our Yunsheng is even more amazing, the second miss of the Pengcheng Jiang family!"
Xiang Yunsheng rolled his eyes suddenly, and lost his quiet temperament for a while: "Come on, don't be poor here, with this kung fu, it's better to think about how to grab a business from Lao Tu and them." ”
The girl who had never spoken suddenly became a little worried: "Let's leave this matter alone, that murderer's methods are so cruel, we are afraid that we are not his opponents." ”
Xiang Yunsheng sighed: "Xiaolong, how can anyone damage his sharpness before he makes a move, whether we can intervene or not, let's go over and take a look." ”
That Chen Dong is also a cheerful character, he was busy settling the account, and said with a smile: "Then what else to say, let's go, maybe we will bump into the murderer as soon as we go over!"
The four of them went out of the small restaurant and wanted to take a Didi car over, but when they saw that they were going there, they didn't even have an order. No, I stopped a taxi on the road, so I let the driver's eldest brother drive him to Xiongcheng University.
They didn't delay, and as soon as they got out of the car, they went straight to the street behind the school. This is a small street that mainly operates KTV and barbecue, and because of the murder, there is not even a ghost on the road.
Luxi suddenly muttered in his heart: "Are we late, looking at the movement, everyone has already left." ”
Chen Dong still had a glimmer of hope: "I have to go to the scene to see whatever, maybe I can find out a little spiritual power fluctuation." ”
As soon as he said this, the others naturally had nothing else to say, so they all hurried away, until they reached the end of the street, and saw a cordon around a small self-built building.
Seeing that there were still people there to collect evidence, they didn't dare to get too close, but they just concentrated on probing, and after a while, Chen Dong took the lead in deflating: "It's so far away, the ghost can catch whether there are any spiritual power fluctuations at the scene!"
Lu Xi and Xiaolong both agreed, but Xiang Yunsheng was slightly distracted. Xiaolong thought carefully, so he asked, "Yunsheng, did you find anything?"
Xiang Yunsheng came back to his senses, his eyes were still looking at the other side, and he said absentmindedly: "I seem to have seen an acquaintance." ”
