Chapter 069
"It doesn't matter who is buried in the coffin of the concubine at this moment, the important thing is to take down the elder's body from above first." Ding Lou stared at the elder and the almost transparent net in front of him. The fine threads that make up this web seem to be stained with a little red. According to common sense, this bright red liquid must be blood.
What is the purpose of this net to put the elder here in such a peculiar posture and to spill his blood everywhere? Why are the expressions of the dead here so terrifying? Is there something horrible here?
The more Ding Lou thought about it, the more palpitating he became, the elder was the calmest and most well-informed person he had ever met, a person like him could accept it calmly even in the face of death, what could make him feel afraid?
"You can't save the people up there." Tang Jiuyue said coldly on the side, "Do you see the footprints on the ground and on the wall, are they the same as the boots that the elder wore when he died?" Judging by the footprints, the elder seems to recognize someone hanging here, and wants to save him like you, but he doesn't want to put himself in it. ”
"No matter who the elder wants to save, I will protect the elder's body." Ding Lou gritted his teeth and said resolutely.
Tang Jiuyue snorted coldly, "You are affectionate and righteous, if you are really not afraid of death, just try it." ”
At this time, Shen Man asked weakly on the side, "What kind of monster is hidden here, killing so many people?" ”
"As soon as you look at this kind of place, you know that it is a monster, but it's a pity that some people are too stupid, and they keep giving hints but keep trying to kill themselves." Tang Jiuyue turned around and patted Shen Man's shoulder kindly, and said kindly like an elder, "Xiaoman, you can't be as stupid as some people......
The corners of Ding Lou's mouth twitched, what kind of monster was hidden behind the spider web-like thing in front of him. He clenched his fists, and the cyan veins on his arms bulged.
Shen Man couldn't help but persuade, "The elder is dead, and we can't have any more sacrifices." Your people are still waiting for you to return, and if you die, they will be even more saddened. ”
"Damn-" Ding Lou's fist slammed into the rock wall, and the sand shattered by the rock wall splashed everywhere, some of which landed on the fine transparent silk mesh, the wire mesh thread trembled slightly, and the ripples invisible to the naked eye slowly passed to the other end of the silk thread, and then, in a dark cave, a pair of huge, blood-red eyes rolled and looked at the end of the silk thread.
Tang Jiuyue sensed the unusualness in the atmosphere, and she grabbed Shen Man's arm and took her out of the range of this gem treasure. As soon as he stopped, Shen Man saw an arc on the ground vibrate, and the dust was gently raised.
Ding Lou also felt the vibration on the pillar, and as soon as he turned over, a thin slit opened in the pillar, and the big blood-red eyes at the end of the silk thread on it gradually dimmed.
Ding Lou didn't notice this, but just asked the two, "Where is the coffin of the concubine you are talking about?" "It seems that he has given up on bringing the elder's corpse back.
Tang Jiuyue looked up at the dazzling gemstone night sky and pondered for a while, "There are sun, moon and stars here, and the arrangement of each star is arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, but there is no Big Dipper. ”
Ding Lou asked, "Could it be that they missed it?" ”
Tang Jiuyue shook her head slowly, "The ancients liked to compare women to stars, this concubine Niangniang was the emperor's favorite woman at that time, and it would be reasonable to compare her to the Big Dipper in her hand." ”
"You mean, the noble concubine is where she was supposed to be on the Big Dipper?"
"Approximately."
Ding Lou's expression immediately became stern, and his eyes glared sharply at Tang Jiuyue, "You said that you were sisters, and you said that you passed by by accident, but why did this kind of thing happen as soon as you came." Moreover, the girl in white seems to know the story of the village better than me. As he spoke, he approached Tang Jiuyue and slowly pulled out a quaint knife from his sleeve. The blade of this small knife is sharp, the blade of the knife is shining with cold light, the handle is tied with cotton and linen rope, and the knife body is painted with dense strange runes.
Shen Man caught a glimpse of this posture and subconsciously leaned towards Tang Jiuyue's side, hoping to protect her at that time.
Tang Jiuyue saw Shen Man's movements, ignored her, and asked rhetorically at Ding Lou, "Do you care more about our origin than about your village?" Rather than have time to pursue us here, let's see if what I said is true or not. ”
Ding Lou shook the knife in his hand and threatened in a muffled voice, "Go." ”
Tang Jiuyue secretly pinched Shen Man's forearm, causing Shen Man's dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?" ”
"Pretend to cry."
"For-" Before Shen Man could ask, he felt that the place where his forearm was already red was attacked and pinched by Tang Jiuyue again, and he also pinched her delicate flesh and turned it ninety degrees. Shen Man was in pain, trembling and biting his lower lip, looking at Tang Jiuyue like a smile, and then still holding back a handful of tears obediently under her pressure, and then cried out loudly with a "wow-".
"Cry a little bit." Tang Jiuyue saw Ding Lou coming over, and instructed Shen Man in a low voice. Ding Lou is a despicable and shameless man, and people like him should not like women who are too strong, but for a girl who is weaker and more beautiful than him cries in front of him, he will inevitably be moved by compassion and will be lighter towards her.
Shen Man took some posture when he heard this, and his crying began to become smaller, and he sobbed like a complaint, and the listener was moved. After glancing at it, she saw a pair of black boots with Miao patterns parked beside her, and she knew that it was Ding Lou coming, perhaps looking down at herself.
Shen Man cried very sincerely.
Ding Lou couldn't help but ask, "Why are you crying all of a sudden?" ”
Shen Man's head was blank, and even his crying suddenly stopped. What are you crying about? How do I know that it's all Miss Tang's ruthless hands, I was crying bitterly, and I don't know what Miss Tang suddenly had an idea, why do I look like an idiot every time I am in front of her?
"I ...... I ...... "Shen Man sobbed and choked, and the crying pear blossoms brought rain to me.
Ding Lou saw her crying so miserably, his heart softened, and he raised his hand to press Shen Man's shoulder to comfort him, but unexpectedly, a force suddenly lifted him up from behind, and then the world swirled, Ding Lou was smashed face down to the ground, his right face was against the ground, and he accidentally ate a little soil.
"Wicked woman, what are you doing?!" Ding Lou shouted and struggled, but his hands were tightly imprisoned.
Tang Jiuyue held down his arm and buckled him to the ground, then turned his head to Shen Man and said, "Take the rope to tie it up, I'll see if he still has three heads and six arms." ”
Shen Man did as he said, and when Ding Lou was tied up, Shen Man asked Tang Jiuyue what had just happened. I saw Tang Jiuyue pat the dust off her hands and explained, "Didn't I just say that the ancestors of their Miao people replaced the arms of the concubine on themselves, and then replaced the concubine to lie here by herself." ”
"Hmm."
"If my guess is correct, the ancestor of that Miao person is none other than the grandfather of this Ding Lou."
"Huh?" Shen Man was shocked and pointed to Ding Lou, who was lying on the ground squirming and struggling like a loach, and asked, "What does that matter to him?" ”
Ding Lou's eyes widened and he glared at Tang Jiuyue angrily.
Tang Jiuyue pulled up the heads of the two strands of rope, tied a knot and handed it to Shen Man, and walked in front to lead the way, "Do you remember the scene when you saw Ding Lou in the Miao village?" ”
"Remember," Shen Man nodded, "I saw a pair of hands growing out of his chest, and I saw the back of a woman with beautiful arms. ”
"I can't see what you're seeing, but I can guess you're seeing something weird." Tang Jiuyue walked while motioning for Shen Man to follow, Shen Man looked at the rope in his hand, and then turned his head to look at Ding Lou, only to understand that Tang Jiuyue meant to let himself drag the man Ding Lou on the road! Tang Jiuyue not only regarded her as a coolie, but also treated her as a donkey!
Shen Man gritted his teeth and dragged Ding Lou hard, and Ding Lou, who was almost tied up as a worm, struggled on the ground, but to no avail.
Tang Jiuyue continued, "The arms you see are not completely illusory, it's because Ding Lou's ancestors replaced the arms of the noble concubine, so it had an impact on his descendants. ”
"Ding Lou's grandfather originally wanted his children and grandchildren to enjoy glory and wealth, but in the end he hurt him, no wonder the people here said that there was a curse, it turned out to be really a curse of the concubine."
Tang Jiuyue snorted coldly, "How can a dead person have the strength to curse the living again." ”
"Huh?" Shen Man became more and more confused.
Tang Jiuyue paused, looked up at the top and said, "This is it, the place where I am standing is the burial place of that noble concubine." ”
Shen Man gasped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and also learned from Tang Jiuyue to look up at that place, "Oh, it turns out that this is the place...... "Fortunately, it is a few steps away, otherwise you have to lose half of Shen Man's life."
Shen Man put down the rope, squatted down and began to find a place to dig. saw Tang Jiuyue's pair of white boots appear in front of him, and a voice came down from his head, "What are you doing?" ”
Shen Man said, "Dig the soil to find the concubine." ”
Tang Jiuyue raised her eyebrows, remembering that she used Feng Linjue to dig a pit in Chenzhou, the corners of her mouth curled, and she pointed above with a smile, "Not below, above." ”
