I don't know where Tang Jiuyue, a girl with thin arms and legs, got the strength to pull a little woman Shen Man and a big man like Ding Lou to the top of the cliff with one hand.

As soon as they came up, the bats that saw an opportunity to attack them scattered in all directions, as if an invisible wall was blocking them. Shen Man looked into the crack head-on, and there was a gust of yin wind, with a smell like a foul smell and a fragrance.

Shen Man had a bad premonition in his heart, and he always felt that there was something in this crack that he didn't want to meet. She suddenly grabbed Tang Jiuyue's clothes and said seriously, "Miss Tang, do we have to go in?" ”

Before Tang Jiuyue could answer, Ding Lou's cold voice came from below, "What's the matter, I'm starting to be scared when I get here?" Since your sister says the Elder is here, I'd like to see if the Elder is really there! When he saw that the bat was gone, he untied the rope from his waist and climbed on the smooth cliff face. Below was the abyss, where the occasional cool breeze blew through him, ruffling his hair and the hem of his clothes. If it falls, although the bones can be found, it will inevitably be torn apart, and the brain will burst out, sticking to the ground like a persimmon and falling to pieces.

Shen Man didn't dare to think about this tragic scene anymore.

Several people swung into the crack without danger, and the crack was so small that one had to bend sideways to get in. Once inside, it reveals a wide area. In the darkness, a blue light flickered faintly in the distance, and this light was so faint that it was impossible to detect it unless you looked closely.

Shen Man stepped forward and said, "What's that?" ”

Tang Jiuyue said lightly, "If you don't go and see it, you'll know." ”

The two walked a few steps forward, but found that Ding Lou didn't follow, so Shen Man turned around and asked, "Why don't you follow?" ”

Tang Jiuyue sneered, "He wants us to explore the way, if there is danger, we will encounter it first." ”

Ding Lou slowly followed, and he didn't refute Tang Jiuyue's words when he heard them. "Keep walking."

Shen Man also felt scared in his heart, and some cold sweat oozed from his palms, but at this time, a warm hand gently held her. Shen Man was stunned and looked up at the man's face. I heard the man say indifferently, "Don't lose it." ”

Shen Man clenched her hand tightly, "I won't lose it." ”

I didn't expect this place to be so big and so deep, and the more a few people walked forward, the more they didn't know the bottom of their hearts. The light of the orchid seemed to be right in front of you, but when you got there, you found that it was actually farther away. Slowly, the surrounding area gradually became foggy, this fog is very similar to the cliff, with a strong smell, and it tends to get thicker and thicker.

"Ahem-" Ding Lou coughed, he had already covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, but he still choked on some gas. "Wait," he said, "you stop first. ”

"What's wrong?" Shen Man looked back and asked, but suddenly gasped and took a few steps back in surprise, "You! ”

The Ding Lou she saw not only had a pair of thin and rotten arms on his chest, but also on his shoulders and knees, which were equally terrifying and disgusting!

"Xiaoman?!" Tang Jiuyue's voice was in his ears, and then Shen Man saw her, and hurriedly said, "I saw Ding Lou with strange arms all over his body, what is going on?" ”

Tang Jiuyue bit off her fingers, dotted two drops of blood on Shen Man's eyelids, and asked with concern, "Now you take a look?" ”

Shen Man closed his eyes and opened them again, but saw Ding Lou looking at him with a wary expression. Shen Man took a long breath and wondered, "Why do I always see such an illusion?" She was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and asked Tang Jiuyue, "Didn't you see it?" ”

Tang Jiuyue shook her head and asked Ding Lou, "What are you going to do?" ”

Ding Lou took off the belt around his waist and handed it to Shen Mandao, "You tie this to your hands." ”

Shen Man took the wrist that tied him as he said, she already fully understood a person like Ding Lou, he was afraid of death, so he repeatedly wanted to let himself and Tang Jiuyue take the risk first. This man is not despicable, and he has no grace at all. Shen Man's impression of him was extremely bad.

A few people continued to move forward without saying a word, Shen Man heard the footsteps of the people behind him, frowned and whispered to Tang Jiuyue.

"Miss Tang, why did you know that their elders would be here?"

Although Tang Jiuyue was not afraid of being heard by Ding Lou, she didn't want to cause trouble, so she lowered her voice and explained almost close to Shen Man's ear, "Do you remember what I said about me coming here? ”

Shen Man nodded, only feeling that she was exhaling on her ears, warm and fragrant.

"At that time, their elder also disappeared, and later, when I was in Kyoto, I heard that these Miao people finally found him in the crack at the top."

"Is the elder really dead?" Shen Man recalled that the white-bearded and fierce old man, but he didn't expect him to disappear when he met him, and he didn't know how much his bad luck played a role in this.

"Hmm." Tang Jiuyue stared ahead, the fog here had already obscured the road, and they finally couldn't see anything anymore.

"Bang-" There was a muffled sound, Shen Man and Tang Jiuyue turned around at the same time, but saw Ding Lou, who had a depressed face, walking out of the thick fog, touching his forehead and frowning. Apparently, he hit his head on a rock. Seeing the two women in front of him looking at him amusedly, his face became even more depressed, and he suddenly raised his head and glared at them, as if threatening.

But Shen Man still couldn't help laughing, evil has evil retribution!

"How long will it take?" Ding Lou asked.

"I don't know." Tang Jiuyue replied coldly.

Since he arrived in this kind of place, Ding Lou didn't have the confidence to play his temper, so he could only continue to follow them. But when I walked for a while, I heard a muffled sound of "thump" from behind. This time, even Shen Man felt that something was wrong. She turned her head with a pale face and looked at Ding Lou who was touching her forehead in the mist.

"You bumped into it again?"

Ding Lou's eyes showed a look of vigilance, but nothing appeared around him, "Hmm." ”

Shen Man was covered in a cold sweat, "Or did you hit the same place?" ”

Ding Lou also realized the meaning of her words and nodded, "Yes, the same place, it's like the same rock." It hung down from above, and it was knocked into a corner when I first passed by. With that, he stretched out his hand and touched the place, and then his face faded with blood, and his face turned pale, and he said sullenly, "This hanging rock also has the same gap, exactly the same." ”

"So we walked around and came back?" Shen Man looked at the heavy fog and was very apprehensive, "Is this some kind of mechanism, there is always a way to crack it, right?" ”

Tang Jiuyue said, "Let's rest for a while." After that, he sat down on a rock, and beat his legs leisurely, looking like he was swimming comfortably and playing in the water.

Shen Man thought she had an idea, and squatted beside her, looking forward and waiting for her to speak.

Ding Lou paced to them with his hands behind his back, leaning against the rock wall without saying a word.

"Ding Gongzi, why don't your people never come here?" Tang Jiuyue asked suddenly.

Ding Lou glanced at her, "There are bats here, and there are rumors of curses here." ”

Shen Man continued, "Ah Shi also mentioned the curse to me, what is going on, why is there a curse, and who did the curse?" ”

Ding Lou clasped his hands, leaned his back against the cold rock wall, and recalled with thick eyebrows, "That was the matter of our ancestors, it is said that a long time ago, when we had not yet migrated and settled here, there was a dead emperor and his concubine who fled here. The rebels were soon to be killed, and the soldiers who escorted the emperor to flee defected, putting the blame for the death of the country on the concubine, and forcing the emperor to kill the concubine. The emperor had no choice but to order her to be executed. The concubine died with hatred, and her death was very miserable. The emperor remembered the relationship between husband and wife, and hung the body of the concubine here for burial. ”

"That is, there is a noble concubine buried in the place where we are?"

"Well," Ding Lou nodded, his gaze far-reaching, "but it's just a legend, I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"The concubine is buried here, and she should have been safe with you, why is there such a curse?"

Ding Lou continued, "Because people are always greedy, as you can see, the higher the cliff burial, the more prominent the person's status. In addition, there is another saying that the descendants of those buried in high places will enjoy great glory and wealth, so there are always people who want to be buried in high places. ”

Shen Man's eyes widened, "Could it be that someone targeted this place and was buried here, and the guide was disturbed so he cursed them?" ”

"Almost," Ding Lou said, "it is said that the man climbed here when he was still alive, and then found this place to sleep himself." ”

"Then what about his descendants, are they prosperous and rich, or—" Shen Man couldn't bear to say any more, for fear that it would be ominous.

Ding Lou's eyes were depressed, and he looked at Shen Mandao, "At first, the descendants of that person were still smooth sailing, and one of them was once hit by the lintel of the champion Guangyao, but unfortunately, later, they always got strange diseases, or were eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, or fell into the river and drowned. ”

Shen Man wanted to ask again, but heard Tang Jiuyue say lightly, "There seems to be someone there." ”

Shen Man was full of excitement, and looked in the direction that Tang Jiuyue was looking at, and sure enough, he saw a looming figure in the thick fog. This figure is tall and slender, wearing a long skirt, with a graceful posture and long black hair, but he can't see his face and doesn't know what kind of person he is.

However, her clothing and decoration did not match the surrounding scene, the beaded hairpin on her head and the ring around her waist, and the delicate embroidered shoes on her feet, all showed that this person was not an ordinary woman, born either rich or noble, and was □□ a court person.

The shadow was hazy and dreamlike, but it disappeared all at once.

Shen Man had cold sweat on his back, turned his head and asked Tang Jiuyue, "What about people?" As soon as she spoke, she felt her body swing forward, and a force was bringing her forward, and it was Tang Jiuyue who stretched out her hand to hold her!

"Xiaoman, you seem to be being targeted."
