Wu Tao sighed again: "Actually, our whole village is guarding an ancient tomb, and I heard my grandfather say that this ancient tomb is at least a thousand years old. Heavenly Sound『『.』 ⒉”

Qian Xiaodao frowned and asked: "From the Ming Dynasty to the present, it has only been a few hundred years, and the millennium you are talking about, do you mean that the ancient tomb has existed since your family moved here, and your ancestors ran all the way from Guanzhong to the deep mountains in western Zhejiang, just to guard it?" ”

"Yes." Wu Tao nodded.

"Wasn't there anyone guarding the tomb before?"

"Yes." Speaking of this, Wu Tao paused, his face looked ugly, "It's just that when our ancestors arrived, the entire family perished. ”

Hearing this, Qian Xiaodao's faces couldn't help but change slightly, and even Li Xuanyao, who had always been babbling, became quiet and listened carefully.

"Why did it perish, did the elders of your family tell you?"

Wu Tao glanced left and right: "This place is not suitable for discussing this matter, can we go to a relatively quiet place?" ”

Lin Yuhao reacted quickly, and said to Qian Xiaodao: "Master, my old cousin has opened a teahouse nearby, I'll go open a private room, sit down and talk slowly." ”

"yes, okay."

Qian Xiaodao's voice fell, and Li Xuanyao raised her hand and said to the waiter next to her: "Waiter, pack." ”

Li Xuanyao is a foodie, but there is a character Qian Xiaodao likes very much, and that is thrift.

She has suffered a lot since she was a child, so she is as frugal as Qian Xiaodao, and even a little picky.

Entering the teahouse box, the long-legged beauty in a cheongsam just handed over the menu, and Qian Xiaodao handed it directly to Lin Yuhao: "You order it yourself, sister, any pot of tea here can let my brother set up a stall for a week." ”

Li Xuanyao covered his mouth and smiled at the same time, Lin Yuhao quickly ordered a pot of Biluochun and a few small snacks, and he said to Qian Xiaodao: "This teahouse is used by those bosses to talk about business, so the prices are very high." ”

Qian Xiaodao looked at Wu Tao: "Now you can say it." ”

Wu Tao adjusted his mood, and after the waiter brewed the tea, put on the snacks and withdrew, Wu Tao slowly spoke.

"I don't know exactly what kind of figure is sleeping under that ancient tomb, but every twenty years, a ceremony is held in our village." Speaking of this, Wu Tao turned his head and glanced at Wang Xiaoyu beside him, "That ceremony is very special, and it is also very bloody. ”

"Bloody?" Qian Xiaodao's brows furrowed slightly.

"Well, every twenty years a young and beautiful girl is selected from the village, and this girl is decided two years before the ceremony, and during those two years she needs to be calm and receive the blessings of the goddess. When the day of the sacrifice came, she would bathe and change her clothes, put on a silver-white garment made of silk, and lie quietly on a circular altar. ”

"And then?"

Everyone listened attentively, and even Li Xuanyao didn't interrupt, but only interjected when the other party paused.

Then her neck, hands and feet were tightened with hemp rope and tied to five reels. Although the process of the girl's death is extremely painful, in the moment before her death, there will be five equally pure girls, holding five long iron pestles, nailed to the girl's hands, feet, and her head! ”

Hearing Wu Tao's description, everyone felt that the whole person was not good.

Especially Li Xuanyao, her eyes were full of anger: "What age is this, there is such a terrible thing, don't they call the police?" What about the deceased's parents, relatives and friends? ”

Wu Tao glanced at Wang Xiaoyu again, and Wang Xiaoyu was already lying on the table, crying silently.

"No one is going to call the police because it's a rule and no one can change it. Moreover, when the deceased was dying, her heart was quiet, without a trace of resentment. Wu Tao took a sip of hot tea, and his face became extremely ugly, "They say that only such a soul is the purest, and only such a soul can calm the anger of the adult in the tomb." ”

Qian Xiaodao finally heard the key point and asked, "This ritual is related to that ancient tomb?" ”

"Hmm." Wu Tao nodded, "Yes, after the girl's death, her body will be thrown into an abyss. ”

"The abyss? Is it a mountain cliff? Lin Yuhao asked.

Wu Tao shook his head: "No, the abyss is actually a very deep pit in the holy land of our village, that hole can't even shine into the light, every twenty years, they will hold a ceremony, and the dead will be thrown into the abyss." ”

Qian Xiaodao said in a deep voice: "Is that abyss close to the ancient tomb?" ”

Wu Tao nodded.

Qian Xiaodao continued to ask: "That abyss should be usually accessible to no one, right?" ”

"So that there is a special guard, and no one can enter without the permission of the goddess."

Qian Xiaodao thought for a while and continued: "Since this ceremony is very cruel, it has been held for hundreds of years, it shows that it has its own certain truth. And the village has been very calm all these years, why are you in such a state now, is there something wrong with the village? ”

"Yes." At the mention of this, Wu Tao's face was full of horror, "The ceremony was held seven days ago, and the chosen person is Xiaoyu's cousin. Xiaoyu's cousin is a recognized beauty in the village, and because of this, she was already chosen by the goddess at a very young age. Therefore, she has never walked out of our village since she was a child, and she has never gone to school, except for reading some poems given to her by the goddess, she just looks at the mountains. ”

"Gan, I really want to rush up and kill that goddess now!"

Qian Xiaodao said expressionlessly: "Judging from your voice, something must have happened to that girl next." ”

"Hmm." Wu Tao nodded, "Normally, there are very few people who can see Cousin Xiaoyu, and in order to keep her pure heart and few desires, she hardly has contact with others. However, Xiaoyu is an exception, because the goddess is her grandmother. ”

"And then?" Li Xuanyao asked.

Because of Xiaoyu, her cousin and his cousin met, and the two fell in love at first sight. In order to save my cousin, my cousin decided to take her out of our village, but he was caught halfway through the road and broke them apart. In order for her cousin to be able to perform the ritual with peace of mind, the goddess lied that her cousin had betrayed her. Then, the cousin didn't, and besides, she learned in a dream that her cousin had been killed by the goddesses. ”

"Why?" Qian Xiaodao furrowed his brows and asked, "What is the reason for the goddess to kill her cousin?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, anyway, my cousin died, my cousin went to the altar with resentment, and then she was thrown into the abyss. On the third day after she was thrown into the abyss, something happened in the village. ”
