Chapter Seventy-Five: A Skeleton
Uncle Tie grabbed me, stepped forward, and picked the tendrils away, revealing the contents of the trees. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info behind the tree whiskers, there was a skeleton, I looked at it without psychological preparation, and I was frightened.
Yang You took the torch and looked at it for a while, only to see that the flesh and blood on the skeleton had already rotted away, and only one body of clothes was left, which had already rotted into rags, which could be hung on.
"What? Is it your aunt who brought it? Uncle Tie said thoughtlessly.
Yang You frowned, and said, "It's so rotten that I can't recognize it anymore......" As he was speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he moved around the skeleton with a stick, picking out a bronze medal.
The bronze medal was covered with patina, and like the bones, it was rotten to the point of decay. Yang You gently scraped the patina on a stone, revealing a shallow symbol, like a word is not a word, like a pattern but not like a pattern.
Uncle Tie took a closer look and said, "This bronze medal, is it ......?"
Yang You nodded slightly, and said, "It's very likely, I didn't expect that so many years ago, they had already done it, but I was afraid that my aunt would ...... her."
I was confused and itching, and I said, "What the hell are you talking about, is this the skeleton you said is missing?" ”
Yang You turned his head to look at me and said, "Do you remember the person named Bai Bai in the tomb of the King of Nanyue?" ”
I was stunned, why did Yang You talk about him without a head, so he nodded and said, "Of course, that kid pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, it's so powerful, how can you talk about him." ”
Yang You said: "Actually, if you don't start from the beginning, I guess you won't understand." Many years ago, our clan found some clues about the burial place of the Gu King, and launched an operation to find the tomb. The one who led the team back then was my grandfather's own sister, that is, my aunt. ”
"Your aunt?" I asked.
"Yes," Yang You said: "Due to the special situation, my aunt was still young at that time, and she hired many people to send some of the most advanced equipment into the mountains, which I have already told you in Miao Village." ”
"That's right," I nodded, "and the old madman came in with him." But what does this have to do with daytime? ”
Yang You said again: "Do you remember that fake professor?" What did he say when he recognized Daylight? ”
I struggled to remember, "He seems to have said what the day was and what people taught." ”
"Monroe!" At this time, Uncle Tie, who did not speak on the side, suddenly interjected.
"That's right, it's the Monroe Sect, hey, Uncle Tie, you weren't there at the time, how did you know? Oh, it must have been Yang You who told you. I said.
Yang You picked up the bronze plaque, put it next to the fire, and said, "This Monluo Sect is a branch of the Blue and White Sect that has been passed down to the present day, and it has fought with us many times for the unearthed objects in the ancient tomb, and my grandfather deduced that they seem to be looking for the burial place of the Blue and White Sect Pope. ”
I was a little stunned and said, "So you suspect that your aunt disappeared after entering the Yin Ren Gou back then, and fell into the plot of the Monroe Sect?" ”
Yang You said: "This is just one of the speculations, after all, it is a fact that I have seen the disciples of the Monroe Sect here. If you want to find the real reason, I am afraid that only by continuing to go deeper and finding my aunt can my aunt be revealed. ”
I heard a faint sadness in her tone, the pain of losing a loved one, and no one's heart was uncomfortable. I'm afraid that what I find may not be people, but corpses, or the corpses may not be found. After all, after so many years, who can survive in such a place for so long.
We set up our camping tents, and because we were afraid that the smell of food would attract some wild animals, we lit a fire, but we could only nibble on dry food. At night, the light rain slowly became heavier, but fortunately, the single banyan tree was on higher ground and blocked most of the rain, but it was still dripping.
The three of us took turns to be on duty for the night, and after deliberation, it was decided that I would first keep watch for the first half of the night, while Uncle Tie would take over from me, and finally Yang You would be on duty at almost dawn. Since it's uncertain how far ahead you are, conserving your stamina is the most important thing.
After the discussion, Yang You and Uncle Tie went into the tent to sleep. I sat alone in front of the fire with an iron rod handed to me by Uncle Tie, looking through the rising light of the fire into the woods ahead.
According to common sense, the place where I am is is the entrance to the underground house that has been passed down from generation to generation in Miao Village, and I should actually be afraid. But at this moment, my heart was filled with excitement and nervousness about the unknown. Could it be that I was born an outlaw? Or are the planing cells in my blood at work?
It wasn't until the dead of night that I had time to think about what had happened along the way, and it seemed that intentionally or unintentionally, I was involved in Yang You's tomb robbery journey. I also remembered my parents and my second uncle at home, who had warned me more than once that I must not deal with inverted fights and sand-hunting, but there is a providence in the dark, and I can't hide if I want to.
The rain was still dripping from the trees, I don't know if it was dazzling, in the darkness ahead, there seemed to be a little fog, and there was a small black dot, bounced and jumped in the fog.
I was startled, the original upwelling drowsiness disappeared without a trace in an instant, and I stood up "poofed" and looked at the darkness in the distance, but found nothing. I did not dare to be careless, but I had the audacity to raise the torch and shine it in that direction, and found that apart from the terrible darkness, there was the sound of the branches behind me "crackling" and burning in the blazing fire.
"What are you doing?" Uncle Tie shouted in a low voice behind me.
I turned around and saw that Uncle Tie had already walked out of the tent, probably seeing me standing there, so he asked out loud, but I don't know if it was because of his habit, I found that his hands were on his waist, and he seemed to be ready to shoot at any time.
"It's nothing, I sat for a long time just now, maybe I was dazzled for a while, and I saw that there seemed to be something in front of me, but fortunately there was none." I walked back with a torch.
Uncle Tie glanced me up and down before saying, "You go to sleep, change my vigil." ”
I got into the tent, and after a shock, the original sleepiness disappeared without a trace, and I tossed and turned in the tent, but I couldn't sleep, and I don't know how long it took before I finally fell asleep slowly.
I told me that I had a light sleep, and I don't know how long it took me to wake up with a small rustle. In fact, the sound was very small, as if you were gently touching your clothes with your hands. But such an ordinary voice actually made me feel cold in my heart and get goosebumps all over my body.
It's a person's sixth sense, and I can't tell why, but I rolled over, lifted the curtain of the tent and walked out.
By this time it was already dark, and I saw that the fire of the fire was about to be extinguished, because there was no new wood added to it, and that Little Black was lying down in front of the tent. According to the previous arrangement, Yang You should be on duty at this time, I looked up, and sure enough, I saw her, but the strange thing was that she was standing with her back to the direction of the tent, her body swaying gently from side to side, as if looking at the direction of the woods was trembling gently.
Could it be that she found something? I walked over and said as I went, "Teacher Yang, what's wrong with you?" Did you find anything? ”
As soon as my words came out, she trembled and slowly sat down.
I was startled and hurriedly wanted to run over to check, who knew that after just two steps, my body was suffocated, but I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move another half step.
Just a meter away from Yang You's fall, I saw a red snake with thick arms, with a black cockscomb-like meat crown, standing and spitting out letters looking at me. A pair of cold little eyes seemed to have magical power, but I couldn't use any strength to be stared at by it, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
At that moment, I realized that I was not confronted with a snake, but with an unusually fierce person, who would kill me with no place to bury if I moved it slightly. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that a snake could make me feel that way.
Just as I was at a loss, I heard a gunshot from behind.
