The air was filled with the foul smell of blood and moss, and my mind was a little swollen. In a trance, Gu Fei and Bai Liyou suddenly stopped, and I crashed into them at once.

"What's wrong?" I leaned over to take a closer look, and in the crack of the cliff wall, a huge strange tree grew obliquely, with a moss-like substance attached to it, about a meter long. I thought the tree should be decayed, but when I looked up, the crown was still quite vibrant.

From a distance, it looks like a ghost.

I saw what Bai Liyou was digging near the root of the tree, and asked Gu Fei, but he just shook his head. It wasn't long before he took out a wooden box from the tree, and the moment he took it out, the tree quickly decayed and became a black patch.

Shocked by the changes in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, Bai Liyou took the wooden box and walked towards us.

The wooden box is hidden inside the giant tree, and there is still no trace of decay after thousands of years. The length of the box is about 20 centimeters, and there is no carving on the box, but it is rare to be able to smell a faint fragrance. I don't know what mechanism is set up in this giant tree, as soon as the wooden box is taken out, it instantly decays.

I took it and opened it, but was stopped by a sissy: "Little white face, aren't you afraid that there is a hidden weapon in here?" ”

When he said this, I was frightened, and I handed it to him: "Then you come?" ”

"Don't hurt me." He looked at the box again, "Master retracted what he said just now, this box is so narrow and flat, even if it hides a hidden weapon, it doesn't necessarily have much power." ”

I looked at it suspiciously, thought about it, and pulled open the top of the box, which was a piece of flesh-colored leather, which felt very delicate and smooth, not as rough as the skin of ordinary animals. I took it out and shook it a few times, only to find that there was nothing on it.

I was wondering, and Bai Liyou interjected: "It's human skin." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I shuddered, and I threw it out, which happened to fall on Gu Fei, startling him and gently putting him down.

Human skin? I suddenly felt uncomfortable and touched my arm with goosebumps. What's the purpose of hiding a human skin in such a place? And who is so cruel that he peels off all the skins of people alive?

Bai Liyou took the human skin from Gu Fei's hand, dipped it in the blood on his body and wiped it up, and within a few moments, words faintly appeared. Wipe! There is such a mystery?!

He beckoned us to come over and look at it, and I saw that it was not a text similar to a seal script, with some differences, but I could generally know what was recorded on it.

It turned out that this place was built by the Xiao family, one of the four families implicated in the Qu Kingdom. Back then, after the Li family was tragically wiped out, not only King Shuliang was asked for his soul by evil ghosts, but his Xiao family was also involved (how to involve the law, there is no specific description above), since then the chickens and dogs have been restless, unable to live in peace, and even the children born have died mysteriously, and the death is extremely terrifying.

Doctor Xiao was frightened in his heart, and felt that he was cursed by evil ghosts, so after getting the permission of King Shuliang, he built such a seven-story floating slaughter here, buried it in the mountain, and then guarded by the hooked snake, the Jade Buddha Town Tower, hoping to have the effect of locking the demon and sealing the demon.

In the meantime, the hexagram master was entrusted by King Shu Liang to investigate the matter, and as a result, he found a "monster" in the old house of the Li family. Dr. Xiao volunteered to make a Pisces exquisite box according to the request of the hexagram master. However, he was afraid that something would happen, so he secretly left a hand and ordered the "key" to be made together, but he did not report it to King Shuliang, but hid it in this tower together with the Jade Buddha.

In this way, Mrs. Xiao was trying to find the Pisces exquisite box made by the ancestor Dr. Xiao from the beginning, and what was entrusted by someone to guard a painting is probably a disguise. And this time I came here for the hidden key. He knew there was a vicious hooked snake here, so he asked me to be the culprit. I looked at the jade Buddha in my arms, damn it, whether it's use or cooperation, anyway, we made a mistake, we should have taken the key.

"No, no, no, it can't be." As soon as I finished speaking, the sissy denied it again and again, "When the master climbed up, he saw it clearly, there was such a jade Buddha in the Buddha shrine, where did the key come from?" ”

I picked up the leather book and shook it a few times in my sissy voice: "Then how do you explain this?" ”

The sissy snorted and leaned to the side: "Maybe someone has taken the lead?" ”

Gotcha, it's all in vain again!

I carefully put the leather book back in the box and silently recited a few words of "Amitabha" in my heart. Skinning a person to write is a cruel method that exposes the perversion and viciousness of that person, no matter how valuable the content is.

This human leather book records the origin of this place, and also reveals the purpose of Old Lady Xiao, but it does not say how to leave here. I watched Bai Liyou sit there, leaning against the mossy stone wall behind him, with his head down, not knowing if he was thinking something.

Not only him, everyone's situation was not good, all of them were physically and mentally exhausted, and they were all covered in bruises, so I sat next to Gu Fei, my eyelids were very heavy, and I fell asleep after a few minutes of leaning there.

"Little white face! Wake up! "I was woken up by a drag, and when I opened my eyes, it was dark, but under the cracks, it was still pitch black. The sissy tugged at my collar and dragged me to the side, and I came back to my senses and saw the last thing I wanted to see - the hooked snake.

The sword that Bailiyou had pierced into was still in its eyes, and it clearly recognized us, and attacked us furiously, pressing forward step by step. And its main target is Gu Fei and Bai Liyou, it wants to avenge the blind.

"Let's go!" The sissy dragged me to the side of the rotten giant tree, picked up the rotten roots, and there was a gap under the cliff wall that could barely allow one person to pass, Ayou was already inside, helping to pull off the rotten wood that was in the way, turned around and screamed at me, and threw herself behind Bailiyou, the sissy looked at me there in a daze, and pushed me in a few more times, "Hurry up!" ”

I pushed him away: "If you want to go, you go!" ”

At such a critical juncture, I was asked to abandon my partner and flee alone. That's right, I'm a waste, I can't even compare to Ayo's combat power when I stay, but if I leave them behind today, then I'm not even as good as a waste.

The sissy caught up with me and dragged me: "Are you crazy?!" You've only added to the mess in the past! ”

"So you let me be a deserter?!"

Without looking back, I pulled out my dagger, threw the jade Buddha and the wooden box aside, and rushed towards the hooked snake. Since this hooked snake was sent to the door by itself, and it has to pester us, then simply fight to the death, which can be regarded as revenge for Uncle Yuan.
