Chapter 224: The Snake Swamp Female Corpse
Li Canghai looked at the fading snake skins, and couldn't help but shudder, some of these snake skins were thicker than their arms.
What surprised him even more was that the color of these snakeskins was pale gold.
"Obediently, are these the legendary golden snakes?" Li Canghai said to himself.
Hiss~
At this time, Li Canghai suddenly heard the sound of a long snake spitting out a letter.
Li Canghai was suddenly happy in his heart, he held a torch in one hand and a homemade snake tool in the other, and walked over to the sound of the snake.
Pushing aside the grass, Li Canghai really found a few entangled snakes.
The color of these snakes is indeed pale gold, and when they found that someone was coming, they stood up one after another, constantly spitting out letters, and staring at Li Canghai vigilantly.
"Yo, you still want to bite me? After a while, I won't let you become snakes! Li Canghai smiled, then aimed at a few snakes, threw out the clip and clamped it.
Several arm-long little snakes didn't have time to escape, so they were all caught by Li Canghai and stuffed directly into the bamboo basket.
Li Canghai had never caught a snake, but he learned the skill of catching snakes from the cook.
Soon, he caught five or six long snakes.
Clapping his hands gently, Li Canghai nodded with satisfaction, feeling that it was easy to explain when he went back, so there was no need to continue to stay in this smelly place, so he planned to leave.
Just as he returned, he hadn't taken a few steps when he suddenly tripped over something under his feet, and he fell and gnawed on the mud.
Li Canghai couldn't stop sighing, he didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly went to see the bamboo basket.
Fortunately, the bamboo basket did not break. The snake inside didn't run out, and Li Canghai breathed a sigh of relief.
Pick up the torches. Getting up from the ground, Li Canghai patted the dirt on his body. Subconsciously look at your feet.
This look startled him.
There was a man lying on his stomach at his feet!
The man looked like a rich man with his back to the loess, long hair and a shawl, and silk and satin, but he didn't know whether he was a man or a woman.
Li Canghai was puzzled, how could anyone lie here if birds don't in this ghost place?
"It can't be a dead man, can it?" Li Canghai muttered to himself, and then patted the man on the shoulder. "Hey, get up!" If you don't get up again, beware of being caught by the snake demon! ”
However, the man did not react in any way.
Li Canghai's heart sank, and he hurriedly turned the man over.
When the man turned over, Li Canghai couldn't help but gasp.
Unfortunately, as he had guessed, it was a dead man.
Moreover, she is still a woman.
The woman wore her hair disheveled. Her appearance should be quite delicate, but the blood flowing from her seven orifices makes her look like a demon crawling out of hell, which makes people feel a little creepy.
Li Canghai felt a chill down his spine. He suddenly remembered a horror movie he had watched in his previous life - Sadako!
"Damn, this thing can't be Sadako's original form, right?" Li Canghai shuddered coldly.
But then he shook his head vigorously and calmed his mood. The corpse was carefully examined.
This female corpse is in her prime, and the clothes she is wearing are not Tang Dynasty costumes. It's a Toei kimono.
The clothes are luxurious, embroidered with clouds and golden chrysanthemums. From this, it can be seen that she is by no means an ordinary woman.
"Could it be that she's a member of the legacy?" Li Canghai frowned slightly, but there seemed to be no other women in the envoy group except for the princess and maidservant.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Canghai decided to inform Conan about it.
Judging from what this female corpse is wearing, it must have a certain status, and Conan will know something more or less.
Thinking of this, Li Canghai got some dry firewood, made a fire, and then poured liquor around the female corpse.
It was close to a swamp and was full of snakes, so a fire was lit to keep the snakes from getting close to the carcass.
After doing this, Li Canghai picked up the bamboo basket and quickly left the swamp.
In the dark night, the direction was difficult to discern, and after entering the dense forest, Li Canghai realized that he had taken the wrong path.
Fortunately, there is still starlight in this sky.
Li Canghai held his neck high, kept looking at the sky, took the North Star as the direction, stumbled, and it took more than two hours to walk back to the shrine.
When he arrived at the shrine, he saw Wanyu sitting in front of the door, crying softly with her hands on her shoulders, and Conan talking something on the side, as if comforting her.
"I'm back!" Li Canghai wiped the sweat from his forehead and screamed.
When Wanyu heard this, she hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, she saw Li Canghai.
She wiped away her tears, hurriedly ran to Li Canghai, and sobbed, "Childe, where have you been?" Wanyu is worried about you. ”
Li Canghai put down the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "I'll go get some game, and I'll let the cook cook a delicious meal and give you a tooth sacrifice." ”
Conan also came over and said reproachfully: "Brother Li, this island is full of dangers, how can you go out alone, what should you do in case of danger?" ”
Li Canghai couldn't say much else, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Conan, this time you are on an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many women came with the ship?" ”
Seeing his hurried expression, Conan said suspiciously: "There are only two people, the princess and Lingji, why did Brother Li ask about this?" ”
"Only two? That's weird. Li Canghai frowned slightly, and said to himself.
"What's so strange about that?" Conan asked, puzzled.
Li Canghai glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it, I found a female corpse, the female corpse was wearing your Dongying clothes, I thought it was the person you were traveling with, but now it seems that it is not." ”
"Female corpse? Still wearing our Dongying costumes? Conan was stunned.
Li Canghai nodded and said, "I was just worried that it would be your people, so I ran back to ask you." ”
Conan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and ask the princess to see if Lingji is out." ”
"I'll go with you!" Li Canghai said.
"I'm going too!" Wanyu said.
Li Canghai nodded, handed the bronze ancient sword to Wanyu, and then took her, followed behind Conan, and walked towards the divine hall.
Outside the door of the shrine, the thin guard was still asleep, and there was half a bowl of gruel and two wild vegetable cakes beside him.
There was already a layer of dust in the gruel, and there were a few ants crawling on the wild vegetable cake, and it seemed that the thin guard had not moved since the meal was delivered.
The cook said he was too lazy to eat, and he was not wrong at all.
"Princess, Conan asks to see you, and I have something important to report to the princess!" The matter was urgent, and Conan didn't care about letting the thin guards pass through, so he stood in front of the door and shouted.
The thin guard seemed to have fallen into a dead sleep, and did not react at all to Conan's shouts.
There was silence in the temple, and Conan screamed a few more times, but there was still no response.
"Childe, he is so loud, and the people inside have not responded, will there be an accident?" Wanyu said softly to Li Canghai.
When Conan heard this, his face suddenly became anxious. (To be continued.) )
