The Scourge of Witchcraft Chapter 56

Previous Chapter

Maybe I was tired, when I woke up, Qiu Yan was still sleeping soundly, I lay in my sleeping bag, and I didn't wake him up, but recalled the scene last night.

As in Jingjiangkou before, this dream was as clear as real, and I even felt that I had really experienced the shocking scene last night.

According to my recollection, the pothole should be on the west side of the tent, and not far away, if last night's dream was really the same as the situation at the mouth of the Jingjiang River, that pothole should be our destination.

At this time, Qiu Yan turned over, opened her eyes and looked at me, and found that after I was awake, she was too lazy to sleep.

"What time is it?" Qiu Yan asked in a daze.

"Hehe, it's almost eleven o'clock!"

Qiu Yan didn't seem to believe it, stretched out her hand and looked at the table below, and after confirming the incident, she smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hey, I was so tired yesterday, I grew so big, I still slept until this time!" ”

"Sleep if you want, let's not be in a hurry!"

Qiu Yan got up in one fell swoop, got dressed in three or two, and said disappreciatively: "Who said we are not in a hurry, we have to act quickly, such a big mountain, I don't know when we will find it!" ”

I lay in my sleeping bag with my head propped up, watching Qiu Yan's every move with great interest, "Don't worry, boil some hot water, bring a cup of coffee you brought, let's eat and drink well and go on the road." ”

Qiu Yan looked at me with a puzzled face and asked, "Are you in a good mood today, what happened?" ”

I did not hurry out of the tent, and while lazily dressing, I replied, "Let's make a fire first, and I'll tell you slowly." ”

......

After a busy time, one of us held a cup of steaming instant coffee, eating the compressed biscuits that Qiu Yan had bought at a high price, and after listening to my narration, Qiu Yan swallowed the coffee in her mouth and asked in surprise, "What?" You decided because of a dream that what we were looking for was nearby! ”

I smiled, "Is it true, won't we know when we finish eating and see?" It's not far away anyway. ”

Qiu Yan shook her head and sighed: "I hope it's true, otherwise it's really hard to find in this forest." Zimu, the power you said is quite strange, it always appears at the most critical moment, and every time it appears, it will give you a hint, if this power is really some kind of god, why does he help you so much? ”

Hearing Qiu Yan say this, it reminded me of our conversation in the car yesterday, and now it seems that although Qiu Yan realized that Chen Fangyuan's purpose was not simple, she should not have thought of the pictures I saw at the bottom of Poyang Lake, and I didn't want to scare her, so I didn't tell her this idea.

"It's not a white gang," I said, "have you forgotten about the Soul Sacrifice?" Maybe my illness is the result of the soul sacrifice, and it is the price of this power that has helped me so much! ”

Qiu Yan suddenly smiled bitterly when she heard this, "Hey, whether it's the consequences or the price, at least you still know what is going on, unlike our family, who has borne this curse for hundreds of years, and you don't know how you died!" ”

I wanted to use this incident to make Qiu Yan relaxed, but I didn't expect to hook out Qiu Yan's sadness, so I quickly comforted: "Don't be so pessimistic, don't we already have a clue now?" When the time comes, I will accompany you to Yunnan to have a look, plus Chen Fangyuan and them, things should take a turn for the better. ”

Qiu Yan took a sip of coffee, "I hope so!" ”

......

After breakfast, I discussed with Qiu Yan, anyway, the pit is not far from the camp, so we don't have backpacks, and we bring important things such as climbing ropes, headlamps, and sapper shovels.

Packing lightly, we finally counted the supplies and headed west.

After about ten minutes of walking, we walked out of the forest, and what caught my eye was a hillside overgrown with towering trees, very similar to what I had seen in my dream, and we were standing at the foot of the hillside, along the foot of the mountain, there happened to be a gap in the forest that was not very dense.

"Walking over there, you should soon be able to see the traces of the meteorite!" I pointed to the gap and said to Qiu Yan.

Continuing to walk forward, bypassing the hillside through the gap, I looked in the direction of the top of the mountain, and sure enough, there was a semi-circular groove extending from the top of the hill to a short distance in front of us, but it was different from what I had seen in my dream last night, this groove was now full of weeds and shrubs, and at the end of the groove, it was also overgrown with towering trees, these trees and weeds blocked our view, and we couldn't see whether there were any potholes.

I saw that Qiu Yan's expression seemed to be a little suspicious, so I persuaded, "Let's go over and have a look first!" ”

Qiu Yan nodded, and then continued to walk ahead.

Who knew that when we got closer, we didn't see any potholes at all, and the end of the groove was covered with weeds and fallen leaves just like under our feet.

I looked at this scene a little incredible, the groove was obviously here, exactly the same as what I saw in my dream, but where did the hole go?

I was a little anxious, so I bypassed Qiu Yan and walked to the front, but before I could take a few steps, I suddenly fell under my feet and fell into it all of a sudden.

I fell on a dirt slope, the dirt slope was very steep, I didn't stand still, and I rolled down the dirt slope, and when I rolled to the end, I seemed to be stopped by a hard stump, and this time I fell and rolled, and I almost didn't vomit my internal organs.

"Zimu! How are you! Qiu Yan shouted loudly from above.

I lay on the ground and gasped for breath, and when I looked up, I saw a stone statue standing behind me, and it was not a tree stump that stopped me, but the same stone statue I had seen in my dream yesterday.

"I'm fine, you come down, the stone statue is here!" I responded.

While waiting for Qiu Yan to come down, I looked around, and it turned out that the pit had not disappeared, but over time, the soil around the pit had overturned a lot, making the original hole smaller, and the continuous falling branches and leaves had covered the pit.

Qiu Yan cautiously climbed down the dirt slope, then stared at the stone statue and exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's true!" ”

"Since these are true, then the person who knelt here and cried yesterday is also true, but unfortunately I don't know who this person is!"

"Zimu, it doesn't matter who that person is, the important thing is that we know that Zhu Anshi has such a relationship with your ancestors, we should look around now to see if there are any other clues."

I looked around again, "This tomb is not like a tomb, and the tomb is not like a tomb, where are there any clues, we can't smash this stone statue open!" ”

Qiu Yancai didn't care so much, he took a sapper shovel to dig here and there, and finally dug a few shovels of soil near the stone statue, but he didn't find anything.

"Hey, Taikang County is a clothed mound, and this is just a stone statue, is this Yangling hero so mysterious, is his real burial place somewhere else?" Qiu Yan was tired and sweaty, and her speech also brought emotions.

"Qiu Yan, maybe Zhu Anshi doesn't have bones, you think, he was held by Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han regarded him as a thorn in his side, and Zhu Anshi is not an ordinary person, Emperor Wu of Han will never keep his bones!"

"So, are our clues broken again?" Qiu Yan seemed a little dazed.

"Hehe, in fact, after I woke up today, I thought, maybe Zhu Anshi is not our focus, judging from the current signs, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty definitely did something to Zhu Anshi, so no matter how we check, it is impossible to find out Zhu Anshi's life experience, but there is Jiang Chong after Zhu Anshi, whether this Jiang Chong inherited Zhu Anshi's ruins or reincarnated his soul, the witch curse is all ended by him, maybe Jiang Chong is our focus!"

"Oh~~~" Qiu Yan suddenly realized, "No wonder you want to drink coffee and eat bread in the morning, you are not in a hurry at all, it turns out that you have already communicated!" ”

"It's not that I figured it out, it was the dream yesterday that gave me a hint, although Zhu Anshi is mysterious, but he has no effect on what we want to investigate, only by finding out Jiang Chong, we can know what happened back then, maybe we can figure out the relationship between Zhu Anshi and Jiang Chong."

"So what now? Shall we go back? ”

I looked at the stone statue, and suddenly I was indescribably moved, from our investigation, no matter what Zhu Anshi and my ancestors did back then, they did it because of the mediocrity of Emperor Wu of Han in his later years,

Qiu Yancai didn't care so much, he took a sapper shovel to dig here and there, and finally dug a few shovels of soil near the stone statue, but he didn't find anything.

"Hey, Taikang County is a clothed mound, and this is just a stone statue, is this Yangling hero so mysterious, is his real burial place somewhere else?" Qiu Yan was tired and sweaty, and her speech also brought emotions.

"Qiu Yan, maybe Zhu Anshi doesn't have bones, you think, he was held by Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han regarded him as a thorn in his side, and Zhu Anshi is not an ordinary person, Emperor Wu of Han will never keep his bones!"
