Chapter 246: Empty Coffin

The old village chief just said it casually, but the result made Shao Yu and the fat man extremely surprised, and they both read the horror in each other's eyes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because, indeed, they could not see the so-called big jungle, in their opinion, there was only a long river outside the canyon, and they did not know where it came from, nor where it was going, and all they could see was a few sparse and sparse trees, and as for the boundless jungle that the village chief had spoken, they did not see it at all.

At the same time, they remembered something even more noteworthy, they also clearly remembered that they were carried by the spirit of the big ship, and rushed out of a large jungle with an extremely evil sect to come here, could that big jungle be what these villagers saw?

If that's the case, Shao Yu and the two of them won't help if they are killed, that big jungle is extremely evil, it was a fluke to be able to escape last time, and now if they go back again, they will be sent to death.

However, this possibility is not very large, because according to the old village chief, the people in the village often go to the jungle to hunt, but there are no large beasts in the jungle where Shao Yu and the fat man stayed before, only some animals such as small rabbits. But why do these villagers see the jungle and he and the fat man cannot?

Seeing that Shao Yu and the two were thinking, the old village chief shouted a few times, which pulled Shao Yu and the two back from their thoughts, and the old village chief said with concern: "Lord God, are you okay?"

Shao Yu shook his head, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, you can continue." ”

The old village chief bowed respectfully and said, "Then the old man continued, we used to live a very comfortable life, and there was never any dispute, but strange things happened before March. ”

Hearing this, Shao Yu and the fat man were interested, and they all listened attentively.

"Three months ago, two people went hunting and disappeared inexplicably, and no matter how much they searched, they couldn't find a trace. The old village chief sighed, and said with grief: "The two missing people are Erhu and Liuzi, they are usually more noisy, at first everyone thought that these two people may be tired of eating wild game on the edge of the jungle, and want to go into the depths of the jungle to hunt some other prey, and they will come back after hitting the right prey, so at first everyone didn't pay much attention to it, who knows, this incident has become a sign of the beginning of this catastrophe." ”

After speaking, the old village chief's voice was a little choked, and all the villagers who were watching looked very bad at this time, obviously the old village chief's repetition of the old things evoked their sad memories.

The fat man didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and when he saw that the old village chief suddenly stopped talking halfway through, he hurriedly urged: "Old man, don't worry about crying first, and explain everything that follows clearly." ”

Hearing this, the old village chief hurriedly wiped his face and said respectfully: "The people in our village have always been like brothers and sisters, and now they have brought up sad memories so that they don't cry, please don't be surprised." ”

The fat man replied casually: "Well, no wonder, no wonder, you better tell me about the rest of the matter." ”

"Yes. The old village chief replied and continued to speak: "Since the two people of Erhu and Liuzi were separated, people in the village will disappear from time to time, and all of them are hunters who go out of the mountains to hunt, and the villagers gradually realized that something was wrong, and finally decided that the strongest old Lei in the village would take twenty or thirty people into the jungle to see what was going on. ”

"And what happened later?" asked Shao Yu.

"Later...... As soon as the people who went there were no more news, until a day later, only Lao Lei ran back, covered in blood, one arm was gone, his expression was terrified, and he kept repeating a sentence, refusing to answer whatever he asked. ”

"What's that phrase he's repeated?"

His expression was so frightened that he couldn't guess what he was going to say, but he could make out a word vaguely. The old village chief replied.

Shao Yu immediately asked, "Which word?"

"Dragon!" replied solemnly to the village chief.

At this moment, Shao Yu and the two of them were completely stunned, this matter was complicated enough, how could it be related to the dragon again, could it be that the extremely fast monster was a dragon?

This is too, the dragon is a mythical creature, whether it really exists in reality is uncertain, when Shao Yu was observing the battle of the saints of Tianmodu, a dragon once appeared in the Ten Directions Mountain to participate in the war, but it was only a pterosaur, it was a Western dragon, and no one can be sure whether the real mythical dragon is really alive in the world.

Thinking of this, Shao Yu suddenly remembered some inexplicable words that the village chief said before, and asked: "Old man, you said before that this is a place cursed by the heavens, and the gods will never favor here, what is going on?"

Hearing this, the old village chief hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "The two gods don't know, legend has it that another god appeared in the village a long, long time ago. ”

Shao Yu and the fat man were all nervous, if what they expected was right, the other god in the old village chief's mouth should be the same as them, he was also a monk, but what did that person come here for?

For Shao Yu and the fat man, it is of great significance to them to figure out this problem.

"When was that?" Shao Yu hurriedly asked anxiously.

"This old man really doesn't know, this is just a legend in the village, passed down from generation to generation, and the ancestors who experienced it back then are gone.

Shao Yu was eager to know about that person, so he urged: "You go on, tell everything you know, what does that person have to do with the so-called divine curse?"

The old village chief paused, and said: "The god was very depressed when he first came, and he seemed to be holding a woman in his arms, but he didn't say a word, completely ignoring the opposition of the people in the village, and directly raised the earth, and buried the woman in his arms in the middle of the village, and then he lived here for a long time, and during this long time, he did not show any magical powers. ”

"And then, how did your ancestors know that he was a god?" asked the fat man.

"I'm ashamed to say that since the god buried the woman in his arms in the middle of the village, although it looked unlucky, the people of the village got better day by day, and at first the people of the village were weak, but later they were all as strong as cows. ”

"It's a good thing that you're in better health, so it looks like the so-called god is protecting your village. The fat man spoke.

Who knows, the old village chief's head became lower and lower, and he said in a low voice: "As soon as that person came here, the physical condition of the villagers improved, and it was natural that everyone connected the two things, but that person did not show the slightest divine power at that time, so the ancestors felt that the problem might be the woman who was buried in the middle of the village." I think there might be something good about that woman. ”

"Therefore your fathers had bad intentions. Shao Yu said coldly.

Hearing this, the old man immediately knelt on the ground, trembled, and said: "Lord God, forgive the sins, the ancestors are indeed ignorant, but it has been a long time since that incident, and the ancestors have been punished. If the anger of the gods is hard to quench, the old man is willing to die to atone for his sins. ”

Shao Yu realized that those people regarded him as a god, his face was cold just now, and those people would naturally be terrified, thinking of this, he put on a peaceful expression again, helped the old village chief up, and said: "Don't worry, no matter what the truth of this matter is, it is too long ago, I will not pursue it any further, you just go on." ”

The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his trembling body took a long time to regain his composure, he took a few deep breaths before continuing: "The ancestors agreed that there should be some treasures on the female corpse in that tomb, and the health of the people in the village should also be related to that treasure, plus the tomb was in the middle of the village, which made them very uncomfortable, so they were confused for a while, and they actually had the idea of robbing the tomb. ”

That night, the villagers re-dug up the tomb, and since the tomb was originally very simple, it was just a small mound, and it was very easy for the people in the village to dig it up, and in a short time they had already dug up the coffin. ”

"Did you find any treasures when you opened the coffin and searched for the woman's body?" asked the fat man with interest.

The old man was a little frustrated, he sighed and said, "Alas, don't say anything about the baby, even the female corpse has not been seen, there is nothing in the coffin at all, it is an empty coffin!" (to be continued)
