Chapter 170: Dream Gu
The reason why Yun Sha noticed this skeleton was because this skeleton was very short, like four or five feet long, but looking at the skeleton's appearance, it was also stout and not like a child.
Moreover, the lady they saw today was also very short.
Cen Zhaohou looked along the place pointed by Yun Sha and also found the skeleton.
But looking at it, Cen Zhaohou felt that something was wrong, "I heard Zonglu say in the past that ordinary skeletons, if the skin and flesh are naturally rotten, the skeleton will be snow-white, but if the skin and flesh are rotten because of poison, then the skeleton will be a little black." ”
At this time, under the illumination of the starlight, the skeleton's whole body was black, and it looked particularly weird and penetrating.
Yun Xuan said, "You mean, this lady was poisoned?" ”
Cen Zhaohou nodded, "It should be so." ”
At a glance, the cause of death of these villagers was either because of knife wounds or suicide hanging, but this poisoned lady looked particularly suspicious.
Moreover, at present, they have only found the eldest mother, but Yang Yang, the high priest and the corpse chaser are completely missing.
Cen Zhaohou looked at the slightly smaller house of the High Priest's family near this house.
I found that the house was not as dark as the surrounding houses, but faintly looked through the window, and there seemed to be candlelight in the depths of the house.
Cen Zhaohou frowned and looked at the candlelight, and immediately said, "Let's go to the house next door now and see what kind of situation the high priest is." ”
Yun Xue looked at the door and window, "There are corpses outside this door and window, how can we get out." ”
Cen Zhaohou looked around the room, and finally fixed his gaze on the roof.
I don't know if the original owner of this room was very Yaxing, and actually opened a skylight on the top of this room.
Cen Zhaohou slammed a short sword into the hub of the skylight, and the skylight opened like that.
Cen Zhaohou stepped on the table next to him again, and went to the roof with light effort.
When he got to the roof, Cen Zhaohou looked down at the dense corpses.
Sure enough, the corpses didn't notice him, but still persevered in the window below.
Cen Zhaohou said to Yun Sha in the house, "There is no one up there, you can come up." ”
Yun Sha nodded, and also carried light work to the roof.
The two of them were just about to go to the house next to them, when Yun Sha suddenly paused, "Let's go see Geya and them, right?" There was such a big commotion outside, and I don't know what happened to them.
Cen Zhaohou nodded, and they climbed to the roof of their room next to them, lifted the tiles and looked in, but saw that the two of them were sitting at the table, lying on the table and falling asleep, not at all woken up by such a big movement next to them.
Yun Xue frowned and said, "These corpses don't seem to be going to deal with them, but are just coming at us." ”
Cen Zhaohou's eyes were also obscure, and Yun Xuan said again, "Let's go, since they're fine, let's go next door and have a look." ”
The two of them carried light work and soon arrived on the roof of the house next door.
He went down from the side of the house with his back to the dense corpses, and quietly entered the house.
The house was lit with candles everywhere.
As soon as they entered the house, they instantly felt that the nervous and frightened mood they had just felt outside disappeared, and they suddenly felt relaxed.
As if something was guiding them, the two of them walked up the stairs to a room on the second floor.
A large lantern hung in front of the door of that room, from which came the cry of a baby and the soft singing of a woman.
The two of them settled down, Cen Zhaohou raised his hand and gently pushed the door, and the door opened.
When the two entered the room, they saw the woman who looked like a high priest, singing lovingly and coaxing the baby in her arms.
As if sensing that someone was coming back, the woman looked up at the door, her eyes were full of joy, "Xianggong, you ......"
Before she could finish speaking, the woman saw clearly.
Standing at the door was not the husband she was thinking about.
The expression on the woman's face instantly turned to sorrow, and it was not uncommon for them to suddenly appear into her room in the middle of the night, when the two of them had been eating at her house during the day.
After a while, Yun Sha said softly, "High Priest ......"
The woman did not look back at them, but continued to coax the baby in her hand without distraction.
After that, no matter how much Yun Sha called, even when he walked in front of the woman's eyes, the woman looked indifferent.
Yun Sha returned to Cen Zhaohou's side, "What's going on?" ”
Cen Zhaohou shook his head, took out the short sword hidden in his sleeve again, and stabbed at the person who looked like a high priest.
However, Cen Zhaohou didn't feel any blade passing through the flesh, the sword went straight through the woman's body, as if it was passing through a cloud of air, and there was no other feeling.
Cen Zhaohou's eyes flashed with consternation, put away his sword, closed his eyes again, and said, "Let's go out first." ”
The two turned to leave the room, however, the situation outside the door was very different from what they had seen when they had just gone upstairs.
On the second floor, there were suddenly dozens of more rooms, each with a lantern on it.
But two of these lanterns are different from the others.
One is a big red lantern with the word "happiness" painted on it;
One is a large white lantern with the word "Dian Written on it".
After Cen Zhaohou, Yun Sha looked at each other, and Yun Sha asked, "Are we going into those rooms?" Which one to enter? ”
Cen Zhaohou looked around the neighborhood, and finally pointed to the room with a big red lantern hanging at the door, that's it. “
After a while, the two came to the room.
This time, there was no sound in the room.
Cen Zhaohou pushed open the door, and all he saw was red, but he couldn't see the picture in front of him clearly.
Cen Zhaohou took Yun Sha's hand tightly and asked her, "What might you see?" ”
Yun Sha replied, "No, I can only see that it is red." ”
In this red, although the eyes can't see anything, they can inexplicably feel the lively and festive feeling around them.
Cen Zhaohou settled down and pulled Yun Sha out of the room.
He turned around again and quickly entered the door with the white lantern hanging from it.
In the tent of the camp, Jiang Yuebai slept on the bed, constantly turning over, her expression was uncomfortable, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
Jiang Yanyue had been sleeping unheavily, and when she woke up suddenly, she saw Jiang Yuebai next to her as if she was having a nightmare.
Jiang Yanyue hurriedly nudged Jiang Yuebai gently, wanting him to wake up from the nightmare, but Jiang Yuebai was still deeply trapped in the nightmare.
Jiang Yanyue frowned, and pushed Jiang Yuebai several times with heavy force, and Da Shen also felt Jiang Yuebai's strange appearance, jumped on the bed and stepped heavily on Jiang Yuebai's body, and kept calling in his ear.
After another while, Jiang Yuebai woke up, her eyes full of horror.
Jiang Yanyue helped him up and patted him on the back to give him a breath.
Jiang Yue's eyes were red, and she grabbed Jiang Yanyue and said, "I had a terrible nightmare just now. ”
Jiang Yanyue comforted softly, "Since it's a dream, it's all fake, don't be afraid." ”
Jiang Yuebai shook her head and muttered, "That dream is too real, boundless, boundless illusion......"
Jiang Yanyue seemed to hear what was coming out of his mouth, "Boundless Illusion? Yuebai dreamed of boundless illusions? ”
Jiang Yuebai's face flashed a moment of distraction, and she said, "Yes, I dreamed of that illusion, it was so terrifying, all of them were dead people, and the corpses were all twisted, and there was a woman holding her child crying, and then I felt as if I had suddenly come out of the illusion, standing at the door of the boundless valley we went to last time, and the words on the stone that originally said the boundless valley had changed, and it became a boundless illusion." ”
Jiang Yuebai said, with a palpitating look in her eyes.
Jiang Yanyue got out of bed and poured him a cup of tea, and Jiang Yuebai drank it in one go, only then did he feel less afraid in his heart.
Jiang Yanyue said again, "Maybe I told you about the Boundless Illusion during the day, and recently General Cen and the others went to the Boundless Valley again to make you have such a dream, don't be afraid." ”
The big gray also got into Jiang Yuebai's arms, and Jiang Yuebai hugged the big gray in his arms warmly, and then he fell asleep again with peace of mind.
The light in the tent dimmed again, but no one saw it, and Xiaobai, who didn't know how to run out of the tent, actually ran back at this time.
And here, Cen Zhaohou and Yun Sha also entered the room with the big white lantern.
From the outside, this room was no different from the room where they had seen the high priest coaxing the children, but when they entered the room, the two of them realized that there was a hole inside.
It's clearly not a room, it's a dense forest.
The forest was somewhat similar to the one they had seen when they came.
This is, the two of them heard bursts of suona and crying sounds from the depths of the half-hidden woods in front of them.
Cen Zhaohou tightened his grip and walked briskly towards the source of the sound.
When they got closer, the two found that this was a mourning procession, and the people in the group were crying and grabbing the ground, and the woman at the head cried out, "My son, my son." ”
Cen Zhaohou approached boldly this time, and sure enough, the people next to him couldn't see their appearances, and sat down with their own affairs.
The woman cried out again, "My son, if I let me know who has harmed you, I will make her die a good death." ”
The woman wept, and in her eyes there was a deep resentment in her eyes.
Cen Zhaohou did not look at the woman again, but lifted the lid of the coffin.
Yun Sha also took a closer look, and saw that the person in the coffin had obviously not been properly rested when he was buried, but was thrown directly into the coffin.
There was a lot of black blood on his nose, his tongue was all festering, and there were several wounds on his neck that seemed to have been bitten by small insects.
