Chapter 20: Killing in the Beauty

The one who led the way was the little Taoist, and after the ancestor knew his ability and identity, he especially wanted to take him as his company. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, the little Taoist priest said that he only wanted to clarify the doubts in his heart when he went to the tomb this time, and he did not plan to make a living from it. The old ancestor grinned when he heard this, and said that the person he fancied would definitely not let him run away.

As we traveled, the branches of the trees were intertwined, heavy and cold. In ancient times, the birdsong was very crisp, and Hocho was particularly excited about it, saying that if there was a camera, it would definitely record these bird species that have disappeared in the 21st century.

Walking forward, the hot flashes from the forest made the sweat stick to the close-fitting suit, it was obvious that the terrain here had begun to rise, my legs were a little strained, according to the location of the tomb of the little Taoist priest by the stream at that time, it was in the middle of several mountains.

The further you go in, the more bushes and thorns there are. Although there are knife workers who are sharp at the beginning of the eighth year, they can walk in such a place, and it is inevitable that they will still pierce the flesh.

After a hard meal, Bao Cai complained several times, and I walked carefully, and when I looked closely, there were many triangular vipers and purple centipedes of similar colors and plants entwined in the bushes, and the two poisons were intertwined in one place, making the scalp tingle and itching. However, my ancestor's grave-digging team was still relatively well prepared, and Liang Jiu knew that it was the first time for me and Baocai to rob the tomb, so he took out some herbs to remove snakes and insects from the basket behind him, and he lit them, and the herbs emitted a slightly yellowish smoke, and we had to choke on tears when we smelled the smoke, not to mention those poisons that were sensitive to it.

With a complete team with a clear division of labor, our trip went smoothly, but as the little Taoist priest said, the atmosphere here is condensed, and there is a hint of dullness in the quietness, which makes people feel uneasy after all. In order to choose a shortcut, we did not take a detour, but simply came out of the disturbing bushes. When we reached a flat field, it was full of eerie red flowers of death, and this time up close, they looked like faces, welcoming us into their death zone.

I have experienced a lost place, I told my ancestors that this flower is amazing, in order not to be disturbed by it, the eighth day of the first month will be wearing the short shirt on the body of the arms of the two arms, after the mari tore off, he soaked in some very hot pepper water on the cloth, this thing is very exciting to cover the tip of the nose, so that you can't get distracted at all.

Baocai is from Hunan, and he likes this on weekdays, but it smells nothing, but Chen Yu can't stand this, and muttered: "This thing is used by the girl's family to deal with perverts, and now how can I masochize myself!"

I laughed at him and said, "Aren't you just a pervert who loves flower girls, let you feel the feelings first, and remember it for a long time!"

As soon as Chen Yu heard me count him, he hurriedly bared his mouth and shouted, "Bah, grandpa, I ......" He was about to continue, his eyebrows twisted, and he sneezed heavily.

Baocai and I laughed at his ugly appearance, but among the flowers, we didn't dare to say more, for fear that if we were not careful, we would let the flowers lose our minds.

Our group shuttled through the middle of the "Death Flower", and after passing through several rows of barrier-like giant trees, the scene in front of us was like a heavenly palace. Just look at the sunlight reflecting the water vapor, transforming into a golden tulle, which is attached to a few pink mountain flowers, with a bit of mystery in the mist.

The birds here are singing, the grass is verdant, and the water is murmuring, but there seem to be a few fairy spirits that make people feel very happy.

With a touch of shock, we stepped into this blessed place, and there was a huge cliff in front of us. In the middle of the cliff is a waterfall, which has several steps, like a fountain, hanging down a white curtain and scattering countless silver flowers. The sound of its falling water is clear and bright, the sunlight refracts, and a colorful rainbow appears in the water vapor. In the pool, a white bird flies sideways and picks up a small fish in the water. Look closely at the five branches of the pool, which are scattered with golden light, and they are heading in the direction we came.

There is an altar in front of the stone pier, that is, in the center of the waterhole, there is an altar with ancient stone tables for sacrifices, these things are all on the water, you can imagine how deep their roots are.

This is supposed to be the place where the Miao people come to worship on weekdays, because some of the sacrifices above are still fresh, and after the witch arrives at this place, she will bow to the ground with devotion and infinite reverence, reciting something in her mouth. We didn't try to lock her up much, because she was fed poison by her ancestors, so she was obedient all the way.

We approached the waterhole in an incredible way, as if enchanted. Unexpected scenes are carved into the cliffs, and it features people dressed in ornate costumes, whose expressions are lifelike, religious, as if dancing, and they are surrounded by a group of musicians. In the midst of these people stood a dustless woman, dressed in a robe, with her slender fingers supporting upwards, and in the direction of her fingers there was an elk driving the clouds towards the heavenly palace. There was a kind-eyed god in front of the palace, and he smiled and looked down at the people on the ground, as if he was doing a ritual to sense heaven and earth. There are many carvings on the stone walls, but the focus is on the woman in the robe. I thought to myself: Is this the woman I saw in modern fantasy?

At this time, I looked at it dumbfounded, sighed at this huge exquisite carving, studied it for a long time, and when my eyes touched the strange skull exposed in the cracks of the waterfall, all the shock in my heart turned into cold. The skull was hidden behind a curtain of water, its uneven teeth grinning in a creepy arc, and its smiling appearance was extremely uncomfortable with a pair of black holes and deep eye sockets.

I looked deeper, and there were many skulls, and they were lined up behind the curtain of water, peeking strangely at the gravediggers, and in the gap between these skulls, I could faintly see some kind of fragment, like pottery.

The old ancestor said that the water came from the valley behind the cliff, and the back of the valley should be the Chu tomb we were looking for, and he suspected that it might be necessary to drip water to enter the tomb, because these pottery should not exist on the waterfall steps, but should exist somewhere in the tomb, which is considered to be a burial utensil, and it may be that the tomb itself has a water belt.

I asked my ancestors: "Most of the Chu tombs are not all tombs with pits and pits in the earthen pits, how can anyone pick such a place?"

The old ancestor said: "Looking at the carvings on this cliff, I suspect that the identity of this woman is the kind of witch who can sense heaven and earth, because the Chu people worship witches, so they are also very cautious about the choice of this woman's tomb. ”

Listening to the analysis of the ancestors, I thought to myself: Indeed, this place is beautiful and picturesque, and it is a good burial place. If this woman is really a shrine maiden, then her concept of burial may be different from that of ordinary people. Most of the ancestors had the idea of being in the ground, but she was a witch, which may make people have a kind of immortal and immortal thoughts. Ordinary believers would like her to arrive at the Heavenly Palace and bring great blessings to mortals. Thinking about this, I glanced at the witch behind me more, and she looked at the carving on it in a daze, looking preoccupied.

A few of us were going to find a way to quickly enter the tomb through the valley, but the little Taoist priest had been standing in front of the waterhole, and I followed his gaze, and saw a crimson snake snaking out of the eye socket of a skull, the snake's scales shone with a metallic luster, and it was probably still a juvenile, so it didn't look stout, but the pattern of the scales on its body looked like frightened eyes, and it spit out snake letters from the deep eye sockets, and then slowly fell into the water......

In a moment, I saw its head, which was completely triangular, and it was highly venomous, and there was not only one snake, but after the little snake entered the water, I saw two snakes with the thickness of the wrist spitting snake letters, looking at us coldly, and then swimming into the water.

I stood on end, searching for the species of poisonous snakes in my head, and now the treasure came, and he watched more and more snakes hissing and falling into the pool with the curtain of waterfall, and he couldn't help but sweat coldly, and the old man asked him, "Have you seen anything famous?"

Baocai glanced at us, swallowed his saliva and said, "Tai...... I've studied a book of antiquities that is full of legendary animals. Among them, there is a poisonous snake called Red Flame Alchemy, and the black and white patterns on its body are like eyes, and it is extremely poisonous. This snake is very similar to the blue snake in the Tang Dynasty Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Miscellaneous", it is said that once the ancients were bitten by this red flame alchemy, they would die in a short time. However, before killing, it will produce terrifying hallucinations, and in order to detoxify, it must be eaten immediately. ”

"So strange?" I listened to the treasure story, and my heart panicked, but thinking that we didn't have to go into the water, I was glad to say, "Fortunately, we don't have to go down, otherwise Zhente Niang would have gone into the snake's pool and swam with them." ”

"Hey, who said you can't go into the water, just now this little Heavenly Master stared at that place, I suddenly thought of a little!" The old ancestor stood behind us, his hands clasped to his chest, looking indifferent, he looked at the little Taoist, and then said: "Do you think it's strange that these skulls are placed there, and there are so many poisonous snakes that can enter and exit there?"

The little Taoist priest nodded, and said seriously: "Covered by air pockets, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the door is behind the water sun, the waterfall is like a curtain in the girl's boudoir, it must be the Chu tomb, and the place where we are now may be outside her residence." ”

After listening to the words of the little Taoist priest, I realized in my heart that in ancient times, officials or big people with power and status would bring the glory of their lives underground after death, so that they could enjoy the same blessings in another world. And this owner of the Chu Tomb is using the feng shui of this place to turn this place into the best place of her ideal.

When the curtain is opened, we enter her boudoir, but the presence of the snakes makes us very hesitant, but when my ancestor goes from the waterhole to the waterfall, we have no choice.

Before we entered the water, the shrine maiden stared at us coldly and warned in a cold air: "If you go in, you will blaspheme your ancestors, and you will be cursed......"

When she said this, Lao Yu looked at her with disdain, and said, "It's as if you went in! Grandpa told you that I don't believe in those curses, and besides, you have to go in with them!"

Hearing this, the shrine maiden didn't speak, and only a deep smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. I wanted to ask her if she knew something, but at this time, Chen Yu had already swam away regardless of it, and Baocai was crying bitterly beside him, saying that he would stay here for us to guard, Lao Yu looked at him in the water, pushed the water to him, and said in a loud voice: "Lao Liu, this forest may not be as safe as the tomb at night, you still follow us, if something really happens, everyone will die together, so as not to leave you lonely!"

"Phew, you crow's mouth, your brother Bao is going back to marry a wife, who will die with you!" Baocai looked like he refused to go down, in fact, I was a little hesitant, because this puddle was very deep, with a cold sense of death.

However, at the urging of my ancestors, I still went into the water, and as for the poisonous snakes hissing in the water curtain, he and Lao Yu didn't seem to pay attention to them at all. For me, however, beyond the tomb, in the depths of the underworld, my heart was clouded with an unprecedented excitement. When I was a kid, I watched a lot of movies about tomb explorations, the mysteries in the tombs, and the treasures I saw, which had an innate attraction that would make countless people risk their lives to go for it.

The witch was pushed into the water by Liang Jiu, because she took the poison of her ancestors, so she came here all the way, and she couldn't help herself, and now she was furious and scolded Liang Jiu, but because she was followed by the eighth year of the first month, she had to restrain her emotions. Looking at her unwilling appearance, I secretly thought: The so-called one thing descends to one thing, and the road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high, which is such a realistic problem.

After that, Baocai also reluctantly went into the water, I saw that his expression was even more ugly than constipation, and I couldn't help but make fun of him with Chen Yu, which made me sweep away a trace of nervousness and apprehension in my heart. Now the tomb is in front of me, which is something that an art student like me, who lives an ordinary life, never imagined. Life is short, and it is not in vain to be able to do an unforgettable thing with your buddies.
