Chapter 28: The Talking Corpse (1)

Invisibly, the cold air enveloped us, facing the earth platform that surrounded us in a circle, as well as the holes on it, and the hundred and ten corpses lying in it, my heart was cold, and my breathing became heavy, I always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at us in this deep and mysterious place, and the more I thought about it, the more creepy it became, and the only thought at the moment was to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

But at this moment, the little Taoist priest didn't feel any evil qi wandering, I breathed a sigh of relief, and thought, "Sure enough, the gust of yin wind just now was my nerves, so I thought about it too much." ”

The little Taoist priest frowned, unable to let go of these corpses, so he lingered for a while. He found a few coins in the corpse of the trough, they were the same as those that had fallen on the ground, and he said quietly, "Soul Attracting Coins...... " and took a torch to shine around. In this photo, I couldn't help but exclaim, it turned out that in the gap between the various earthen platforms, there were lying tired and dried corpses, some of these corpses were dressed the same as us, some were wearing the clothes of the people of the Western Regions, and some were the bones of camels, obviously these people were lost here business travelers and passers-by.

Thinking of what happened to Wang Bajian and Baocai just now, and then seeing that these people were holding knives in their hands, staggered and tired in one place, it is estimated that they were all captured by their souls and killed each other. There are also some people who still have the panicked expressions on their faces, they want to come here and go around, but they are abnormal, they can't get out, their hearts are exhausted by despair, and finally they stay here.

The little Taoist priest approached and took a closer look, and found that these people were still holding ancient coins with lost green light in their hands, which made me feel that sometimes money is a good thing, but if you snoop too much on it, you will be taken by its evil nature, lose your nature, and finally enter the abyss of hell, we do not suffer from it, perhaps it is because we have no greed for it.

The little Taoist priest said that these coins were the currency of trade and circulation in the Western Regions, and they belonged to the Western Han Dynasty, which means that these people in the Yanze region died in the Western Han Dynasty.

When it comes to the Yanzawa area, the only thing that comes to mind is the people of Loulan. But why are these coins so evil? I asked the little Taoist, and the little Taoist priest and the old ancestor speculated that maybe these people fled here before they died, so these coins were sprinkled all over the ground, and because they did not die of natural causes, they had resentments, and these resentments were stained on the belongings they carried with them, so Wang Bajian and the treasure were picked up, and the situation just now happened.

I was shocked to hear this, but fortunately my mind was not on these things at that time, otherwise I would have to take the coins in Baocai's hand, and I might have fallen into a daze.

The little Taoist priest stopped in front of the earthen wall, held the torch, and checked it again and again, and after a while, he said awe-inspiringly: "Soul Suppression Nail!" I found that his face seemed to turn white in an instant.

I listened to his voice in astonishment, and walked to his side with the old ancestor on crutches. It turned out that there was a nail stuck in the middle of each hole, and the other nails were deeply nailed into the earth wall, but one nail was not inserted into it, and it was exposed, which brought us one step closer to the truth.

The nail was engraved with dense ghost-suppressing words, and the little Taoist priest said: "No wonder there are so many dead people here, but they can't feel the evil spirit, it turns out that they were suppressed by people, this is the work of people who understand Taoism......"

As soon as I heard this, goosebumps rose again, and the Han people, Taoists, Loulan people, persecution, I couldn't get in touch with this, and the more I thought about it, the more confused I became.

The little Taoist priest swept the nails nailed on the earthen wall with a torch, and they were combined into the "Heaven and Earth Net Array", which was a formation to wipe out the evil ghosts and imprison them forever, that is to say, the function of these earth troughs was like a prison, and the soul suppression nail was an iron fence that locked the soul of the Loulan people.

The appearance of the soul suppression nail confirms the previous speculation of the little Taoist priest and the old ancestor - most of the killings were committed by the Han people, and they were afraid of being entangled by evil spirits for their lives, so they used the soul suppression nail to trap these people. But this practice is very cruel, the little Taoist priest said that once the soul suppression nail is used, these people will never be able to live beyond the life.

We don't know why a massacre took place, and it's been so long that the people trapped here don't speak. However, the old ancestor was as stubborn about this as Xiaodao, and at some point, he quietly ran to the front of the trough, he said that the trough on this side was facing the northeast, and the skin and flesh of the people in it had dried up, but judging from the traces on their bodies, it seemed that they had all been tortured, most of them were whipped, and the flesh of the legs was cut off. The strangulation marks on their hands and feet were particularly visible, and the faces were full of unspeakable scorn, and it was evident that they were suffering from the torture.

I gasped when I heard this, under what circumstances do you want to torture people?

The old ancestor was really a professional in the inverted bucket, and when he saw the corpse, he searched carefully, wanting to know more, and he also had a heart, and soon he found that there were several blood words on the inside of the placket worn by a strong man. Generally, writing blood characters is a desperate person who wants to leave something behind before he dies.

The old ancestor realized this, and hurriedly asked You Chi to come to interpret it, You Chi heard the old ancestor's call, and was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect the old ancestor to see the relationship between these people and him.

At this point, You Chi handed over the treasure he was holding to the little Taoist, and he walked to the front of the earth trough, he looked at the dead strong man, he couldn't speak for a long time, the choking in his throat could no longer be hidden, he was resentful, trembling his voice, gritting his teeth and chanting: "Han-army-kill-me!"

At that moment, all of us took a deep breath, You Chi's reaction was a little excited, he sensed our confusion, sniffed, turned his bloodshot eyes to the old ancestor, and then looked at us again, and said: "You don't have to look at me like this, that's right, these people are of the same race as me, I feel sad to see them die tragically in this desolate place, unable to return to their homeland!"

When the old ancestor heard this, he asked, "Since you are of the same clan, have the elders of your family told you about the more sensational tragedies that have happened in your clan?"

The expression on You Chi's face froze, he wiped away his tears, and said coldly: "No, our ancestors left Yanzawa a long time ago......"

Looking at the way You Chi tried his best to clear up, I suddenly felt that he knew something other than being of the same clan as these people. The old ancestor obviously didn't believe what he said, but now he was more curious about the sentence written in the placket of his clothes, "The Han army killed me". If it was really the Han army that killed the Loulan people, then the origin may be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, which was unknown to the Han people. In the Western Regions, the Huns were rampant and plundered other countries in the Western Regions, and one of the countries that suffered the most was Loulan.

Loulan did not have a large population, so they could only submit to the Xiongnu. When the Han army crusaded against the Xiongnu, the Loulan people rolled in dire straits, and finally had to be the head of the wall, they were biased towards the Han for a while, and then close to the Xiongnu, this embarrassing and ambiguous relationship led to the relationship between the Han army and the Loulan people was very tense.

In the history I know, it is said that the Han army forced the Loulan people to provide water, food, and guides in the desert, and the Loulan people suffered greatly about this, and then the Xiongnu came back after the defeat, and those Loulan youths turned against them, killing the Han people in the desert and intercepting their belongings.

This was originally an entanglement between countries, but for the Han army, they came here to repel the Xiongnu, but they were persecuted by the people of this country, and suddenly there was a grudge between individuals, so there was a matter of two groups of people hurting each other.

However, for the incident we encountered, the strange thing is the way the Han soldiers killed people. You must know that soldiers are accustomed to fighting and killing people, and they have too much blood on their hands, so there is no need to kill people and dig earth grooves and insert soul nails. However, now that time has passed, it is too difficult to trace the truth in it, and this matter involves the army, if there is really a hidden secret, it can only be regarded as a war, and no one will care.
