Volume 1 The Beginning of the Tomb Search Chapter 074 The Pain of Gouging Out Eyes
The latter sentence was almost confessional, and Poplar mustered up a lot of courage to say it.
quietly glanced at Ding Lingling, but saw Ding Lingling's face flushed, moved her lips, but did not speak, and walked straight towards Hongxing.
Poplar didn't know whether he was happy or sweet, and he hurriedly followed.
Tie Niu was asking why they walked with Jin Han, Hong Xing glanced at the door, lowered his voice and said: "Because Brother Jin Han is also upside down, the reason why Uncle Ding let you go first this time and let us wait for one more day is because there are too many people to make people look good, and the second is to contact Jin Han!"
Poplar and Tie Niu never expected this to be the case, and couldn't help but let out an "ah" at the same time.
Bai Yang asked: "Then you have long known that Jinhan is the son of Grandma Zu and Grandpa Zu in this village?"
"We didn't know before, we only knew that he was a Miao person!" Ding Lingling replied, "And he is very famous in the inverted dou world, it is said that he has a pair of Gu worms in his hands, one female and one male, and he is good at finding tombs that are more than a hundred years old. My dad used to work with Brother Jinhan, and I know that he has a bold temperament and is very righteous. So this time, my dad contacted him and wanted him to take the three of us to Wuyun Village to visit Senior Brother Wang's whereabouts. I didn't want to have such a coincidence, he actually said that he was from Wuyun Village! However, he didn't tell us his background at the time, until he arrived at the foot of Wuyun Mountain last night, and went to see the old man Fengxiang first, and we knew that Brother Jinhan was actually the son of the witch doctor of Wuyun Village!"
"Then does he know that you are here to find Senior Brother Wang?" Bai Yang asked again.
"Yes, he said that he might know where Senior Brother Wang is!" Xiang Aiguo replied, "It's a pity that he won't say anything, and only said that he will tell us after he arrives at the village and see the situation!"
"Then do you know what happened to their family, and why did he leave Miao Village and go out to fight?" asked Bai Yang again.
"We are also very strange, but unfortunately he refused to say when I asked him!" Ding Lingling said, and then asked Bai Yang, "You came a day earlier, you should have heard some useful information, right?"
Bai Yang briefly told Yuzhu what they told the cave girl, and Xiang Aiguo and Hongxing Ding Lingling couldn't help but look at each other.
"I've heard of the Cave Girl!" Ding Lingling still opened her mouth to answer, "Legend has it that after being selected as the Cave Girl, she will be sent to a certain cave with miracles on a good day and auspicious day, and if the girl does not die after seven days, she will be taken back to the village, and then she is not forbidden to marry someone else." The problem is that as long as they have been cave girls, they will emit a certain fragrance on their bodies, and they will stare at the gods in fascination for the rest of their lives, as if their souls have been taken away by the gods. I always thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in Wuyun Village. ”
"What kind of soul has been taken away by the gods! If I want to say that it is a girl, even a man who is left alone in a cave for seven days and seven nights will be frightened and stunned for the rest of his life!" said Tie Niu.
The others all nodded in agreement.
Ding Lingling asked Bai Yang again: "You suddenly talked about the cave girl, is the cave girl still related to Brother Jinhan?"
Bai Yang nodded, and recounted the experience of the Jinhan brothers and sisters in detail.
Ding Lingling and the others became more and more surprised, and Ding Lingling blurted out, "You mean...... The people of Wuyun Village are convinced that the goddess is real......? It's quite possible that it was worshipped to the goddess?"
"Yes!" Poplar nodded, "It's a pity that I couldn't ask where the Divine Cave is, otherwise we can find the Divine Cave as soon as possible!"
"Brother Jinhan must know!" Hong Xing answered, "No wonder Brother Jinhan didn't speak gloomily along the way, I really didn't expect that his eye was actually pulled out by himself!"
Several people sighed in unison.
Xiang Aiguo said: "Brother Jinhan was originally from Wuyunzhai, and his sister was selected as a cave girl, so he must know where the cave is! But the problem is ...... If Brother Jinhan is also convinced that the goddess is real, I'm afraid that he may not be willing to take us to the Divine Cave!"
Although the poplar iron cow is not familiar with the Jinhan Dynasty, the devotion of the people of Wuyunzhai to the goddess can be seen from the attitude of Yuzhu.
So Bai Yang was silent, but Tie Niu said: "Why don't we go to the old man Fengxiang and ask, he must also know where the Divine Cave is!"
"If even Brother Jinhan refuses to reveal the information of the Divine Cave, I'm afraid Old Man Fengxiang is even more reluctant to reveal it!" Bai Yang said.
"I want you two to go back to the patriarch's house first, and see if you can get more news from Yuzhu's mouth!" Ding Lingling said.
Poplar scratched his scalp, not knowing what to say.
Tie Niu said: "I'm afraid that I can't ask anything from Yuzhu's mouth! These Miao people have a very firm belief in the goddess, we can ask Yuzhu about other things, but as long as it involves the goddess, Yuzhu will immediately turn against us!"
Several people looked at each other, Ding Lingling looked at Xiang Wentian and said, "Then I can only ask Senior Brother Xiang to ask Jinhan in private!"
"I'll ask, but I'm afraid nothing will come of it!" said Xiang Wentian, shaking his head and sighing.
A few people were afraid that the wall would have ears, so they didn't discuss it again.
However, Ding Lingling repeatedly urged Baiyang Tieniu to go back to the patriarch's house first, at least for now, he still had to have a good relationship with Yuzhu first.
Poplar Tie Niu had no choice but to say goodbye to the three of them.
In the evening, the patriarch's family really held a banquet to invite Jinhan, and it is said that the patriarch specially asked the chief steward to invite Grandpa Zu and Grandma Zu, but unfortunately Grandpa Zu and Grandma did not come.
That Jin Han has a bold temperament, and after a banquet, not only the patriarch Yufeng admires Jin Han very much, but Bai Yang and Tie Niu also have a good impression of him.
The night was over, and the poplar iron bull remained at the patriarch's house, not wanting to wake up the next day and hear an extremely shocking news.
The cave girl who was going to be sent to the cave tomorrow died inexplicably last night.
And the death was very terrifying, and the whole body showed a shriveled appearance, as if the blood of the whole body had been sucked clean by something.
Poplar and Tie Niu didn't see it with their own eyes, these were all told to them by Yuzhu.
And this is not the first time that something like this has happened in Wuyun Village, according to Grandma Zu, it means that the goddess is very dissatisfied with this maid, and she must choose another girl to be sent to the cave within three days.
And Grandma Zu has already selected another candidate, and that is Ding Lingling.
Bai Yang was anxious when he heard this, and he didn't care what Yuzhu would think, so he immediately rushed out of the patriarch's house and rushed all the way to the old bamboo building where Jin Han lived.
The door was open, and when Poplar rushed through the door, he saw Jin Han and Hongxing talking in a low voice to the country.
"What about Lingling? Yuzhu said that Lingling was chosen as the new cave girl, is it true?" asked Poplar as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Yes!" nodded heavily.
"Then why don't you stop it? Where is Lingling now, do you know where she is?" Bai Yang asked again, almost reaching out to grab Xiang Aiguo's collar.
"You be quiet, Poplar, do you think we are not in a hurry?" said Xiang Aiguo, frowning, "But in this Miao Village, Grandma Zu's words are the will of God! With a few of us, can we stop them from taking Lingling away?"
"Yes, Poplar!" Hongxing also opened her mouth and looked at Poplar apologetically, "And it was Lingling who asked us not to stop it, she whispered to me, just so we can follow her, find the location of the Divine Cave, and see if we can save Senior Brother Wang!"
Bai Yang was anxious in his heart, how could he take care of so much, stretched out his hand and grabbed Jin Han, and said: "When you send Lingling into the Divine Cave, maybe it's too late! Your sister suffered such a tragic thing, and you yourself ruined one eye, do you still want to watch Lingling end up in the same fate as your sister? So you tell me, tell me where that Divine Cave is! Wait until I go and destroy that Divine Cave first, and see where the people in your village can send Lingling!"
"Do you think that destroying the Divine Cave Goddess doesn't exist, stop dreaming!" Jin Han snorted coldly, pulling away Bai Yang's hand that was clutching his arm, "The Divine Maiden is real, I've seen it with my own eyes, otherwise...... Why do you think I destroyed one of my eyes? That's when the goddess told me that if I didn't want to be with her, I would gouge out one of my eyes......! I'm going to be so ruthless that I gouge out one of my eyes with my own hands!"
When he said this, the only remaining eye showed a look of hatred and fear.
Bai Yang and the others were surprised and surprised, and when he was a little quieter, Hongxing cautiously asked him again: "What happened back then, Brother Jinhan...... Can you tell us about it?"
Jin Han was silent, his eyes looked out of the door, and he slowly spoke after a long time.
"At that time...... My sister was chosen by my aunt to be a cave girl, and three years later she will be sent to the cave to be a maid for the goddess. In the beginning...... I didn't pay much attention to it, my father had a few private quarrels with my grandma, but I heard my grandma tell me that it was not that she chose my sister, but the instructions of the goddess, and my father had nothing to say, just often looked at my sister and cried quietly. I thought to myself that it was a glorious thing to be a maid to the goddess, but why was my Abba so sad......? On the day my sister was about to be sent to the cave, I suddenly felt ...... I can't bear my sister!"
When he said this, he suddenly choked up, it was more than ten years ago, and his eyes still couldn't help but turn red.
"The cave girl was sent to the cave, and it was supposed to wait seven days before the family could see if the cave girl was dead or alive, and if she was still alive, she would be taken home. If she is already dead, it means that her soul and body have been taken in as a maid by the goddess......! Very few are alive, and only one or two out of ten will survive at most. And...... Even if she is still alive, she is only alive physically, and her soul has been taken away by the goddess, and she will be confused and ignorant for the rest of her life!"
