Chapter 181: The Words on the Wooden Plaque
Loulan snoopers covered the fragile rotten face that was pinched open by Gu Xiu, blood oozed from his fingers, he changed his depression just now, like the last flutter of a dying fish, raised his head, and said in a fierce voice: "Speaking of beasts, you are nothing more than that, my brother Geda, because of your Han army, was disfigured, and his beloved girl was ravaged by your Han army...... And much more...... We're fed up with your heinous behavior, and if you think you're superior, we'll make you taste inferior and beg for mercy! Old people, women, children...... We love to hear their cries, which is the happiest thing we will ever be alive for! And tell you! If the people of my tribe knew that you were here, you would have been worse off than those hanging from the trees, and that we might be cooked, and that each of us would like to skin you, eat your flesh, and drink your blood!" he said bitterly, and his body tensed, as if those bloody scenes were playing out before his eyes.

"You!" Dai Ze was so angry that his face turned red, and he took out the knife behind him angrily, and the Loulan snoopers saw the cold knife light, and a subtle smile crossed their faces, as if some kind of conspiracy had succeeded.
When Dai Ze was stimulated to aim the knife at the snooper's head, Gu Xiu snatched his knife, Dai Ze raised his head, there was a thick bloody hatred in his eyes, and he asked angrily: "What are you going to do!
Gu Xiu said slowly: "Killing people is simple, for him, as soon as you go down, he will be relieved, since they like to hear our screams, why don't we let them also listen to that kind of scream?"
Gu Xiu's words stunned Dai Ze, who was about to breathe fire, that words were extremely simple to hear, but the smart Dai Ze listened to it, and he suddenly realized that he had almost done something radical just now because of the provocation of the snoopers.
Dai Ze was silent for a moment, Gu Xiu stretched out his hand and pulled him up, that pull was a inheritance, a demon's inheritance.
The hopeful gaze of the snooper, who had not been fulfilled, was suddenly defeated, and in the face of the evil spirit, he could not survive and die. He had exhausted all his strength just now and said all the words that had accumulated in his heart, but now he couldn't say it anymore, so he had to be grabbed by Gu Xiu's hair and dragged forward.
He didn't resist, like a dead corpse, he was dragged like this, Gu Xiu asked him if his clan was just ahead, he silently answered, his eyes like annihilated coals.
Because of such a calm spiritual pillar, the soldiers who were originally weak-legged gradually put away their fears, and everyone quickly lifted a layer of mist and went to a more secluded area. There was no smell there, but there was a strong floral fragrance, and it was uncomfortable for the soldiers who were accustomed to the smell of sweat to suddenly smell the fragrance of flowers. Gu Xiu didn't like this smell either, because the smell was too rich, and it was like a woman who made a man drunk and dreamed of death, and as a result, she would send a man to hell.
He covered his mouth and nose, and the soil became softer, this place was different from the place where the "Soul Binding Tree" had been before, he was like a girl in a deep boudoir compound, very quiet, except for the fragrance of flowers, there was no wind, only the occasional slight rustle of insects crawling in the bushes.
What kind of place is this, why is it so dreoletive, and it gives people a depressing feeling?
Gu Xiu put down the snooper who was dragging him, everyone looked around, the torch made a "crackling" sound, when Gu Xiu turned around, he suddenly faced a face, he was shocked, but he was shocked, and he was not afraid.
The face under the firelight was Huo Meng's, Huo Meng was like a child who had discovered something new, and said, "Brother Gu, I saw a strange display, all of which were wooden stakes...... I don't know what it is. ”
When Gu Xiu heard this, his brows furrowed, and the three people of the Assassin Tomb Gate were beside him, and they followed. When he arrived at the wooden stakes that had been erected one by one, Gu Xiu handed the torch to Huo Meng.
Master Qin looked at the towering, regular and orderly wooden plaques inserted in the soil, suddenly turned around, and said, "This wood has blood-colored names written on it, isn't it a tombstone like the one in our Central Plains?"
When Huo Meng heard this, he gasped and said, "If it's a tombstone, this arrangement is too strange, aren't you afraid that the people underground will be crowded?"
Master Qin snorted and mocked: "This brother is really ignorant, the Loulan people are not like us Han people, they are prevalent in group burials, as for the arrangement, it is estimated that it has some symbolic significance......"
Huo Meng is a martial artist, he is not used to looking at literati on weekdays, and he was humiliated by Master Qin in front of so many people, he felt that his face was gloomy, so he sneered: "Heh, if you have so many opinions, can you interpret the meaning of this stake arrangement?"
Although Qin Baichang was not a top Qingwu master, when he was young, he loved to travel all over the world, and what he saw and learned had already surpassed that of ordinary scholars, Gu Xiu knew that he had extraordinary talent, so he was silent on the sidelines, waiting for this master's different interpretation.
Qin Baichang saw so many people staring at him with suspicion and expectation, and knew that if he didn't see something now, he would not be able to step down, so he straightened up, pretended to be calm, and then strode into the wooden card group.
The area where the wooden sign is erected, slightly raised, like the belly of a pregnant woman, and each wooden sign is more than three meters high, saying that it is a card, in fact, it is really similar to a stake, walking in it, there is a feeling of being lost.
Gu Xiu held the torch behind Master Qin, and under the slight fire, a layer of light mist swirled around, adding a bit of mystery to these ghostly wooden signs.
Dai Ze followed the two of them, the wooden signs were very dense, and the space that the three of them could walk in was relatively small, so they could only shuttle through them, each in charge of their own viewing. Among them, Dai Ze was born in the Western Regions and knew a lot of characters, he looked at those names carefully, the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became, he told Gu Xiu that this was the wooden tablet, and the bones buried under it were indeed the bones of the Loulan people.
Under the gloomy environment, walking into the strange pile of dead people, anyone will have something strange in their hearts, although Gu Xiu has already felt the different atmosphere here, but in order to stabilize people's hearts, he has never said anything. He asked Dai Ze to read out the red words written on the wooden signs, and Dai Ze collected his thoughts, read them out one by one, and reported their birthdays and times of death.
The birthdays were all very different, but the time of death was relatively close, and some even died on the same day, and to their surprise, these people did not go to bed, they were all killed. For example, an eight-year-old child's name is written "devoured by evil ghosts", and a sixty-three-year-old man also writes these words, and the "evil ghosts" they refer to, Gu Xiu naturally guessed that they are Han people from the Central Plains.
The upper end of the name is also carved with human faces, which is a yin carving, and the carving is very simple, but Gu Xiu feels familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere, maybe these faces are carved according to the faces of the dead people underground, they are not the same, and they look a little gloomy, and this sense of gloom makes Gu Xiu faintly feel ominous.
At the lower end of the wooden plaque, there is a long line of words, which Dai Ze translates, which means: "Song of the Dead Soul, Eternal Sorrow." A very bleak sentence with hatred in it.
