When I returned to the village with my golden bag and little by little along the rugged mountain road, the dark clouds above my head were thick and close, as if thunder and lightning would rain at any moment.

Unexpectedly, the Miao people, dressed in black, lined up on both sides of the village with firewood knives in their hands, and it seemed that they had been waiting for me here for a long time.

I looked at the team carefully, but I still didn't see the leader of Miao Jiang wearing a mask at the beginning, and I didn't know how many days I had gone through this time.

Is his injury serious, and what does it look like?

It was still the somewhat mysterious black-robed old man who came out of the village, he took the golden bag with both hands, and then turned around and left with the team.

I just wanted to ask which stilted building Xiao Yue lived in, but when I turned around, the teams on both sides had already disappeared, and their whereabouts were as secret as ghosts.

The dim weather was capricious, and the magnificent and mysterious mountains and rivers of Xiangxi were filled with a layer of fog, and I stood at the head of the village and looked at the stilted buildings full of ethnic minority customs.

I wanted to go door to door to find Xiaoyue's whereabouts, but I immediately dispelled such an idea.

Outside the window was a verdant bamboo forest, and I was lying in a wooden house that the Miao people had vacated for me, and I had mixed feelings, and I wanted to relax the tiredness of the past few days.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but recall Xiao Yue's figure in her mind, she was wearing a doctor's white coat and her short flowing hair hung down behind her shoulders.

It wasn't until I quickly followed and put my hand on her shoulder that she turned abruptly.

The sweet smile with the little tiger teeth in my impression turned into the thousand-year-old female corpse in the coffin that I gouged out my eyes of.

"Ahh

I was so frightened that I woke up from my dream, and it was already early morning when the freshness of the rain was shining through the window.

I didn't sleep soundly, and I turned my head to see that the sharp knife was still beside me, and I relaxed my tense nerves.

Suddenly, the crisp "thump" sound of high heels stepping on the floor of the stilted building instantly made me feel wary.

I rubbed my eyes, picked up the seedling knife, and looked up, only to see that the bamboo table was filled with a table of wine and food, including steamed sea bass and boiled crabs.

I glanced out the window suspiciously, until when I turned around, a gray-black figure appeared in front of me like a ghost, and suddenly frightened me.

"Hey... You're awake. ”

The familiar voice gradually came into my ears, until I found out that the person in front of me was Xiao Yue, who had been missing for a long time, and I couldn't help but pat my chest and sigh.

I just wanted to ask her how her eyes were recovering, but when they looked at each other, I saw that her eyes were a little red and swollen, and the eyes in the pupils were blue.

"You... Your eyes...".

I was a little surprised and puzzled, but I saw Xiao Yue, who was wearing a Miao Jiang costume and silverware in front of me, took my hand and came to the table.

Looking at her little dimple that was a little blushing subconsciously, she just wanted to ask but was covered by her hand to cover the corners of her mouth, and the familiar voice echoed in her ears.

"They said it was you... A man who risked his life and infiltrated the ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty to heal my eyes... ”

"When I think of how I teased you before, I feel a little sorry."

I froze in place for a moment, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

Thinking about how this little girl could be so abnormal after not seeing her for a few days..., she even squirmed when she spoke.

As she was thinking about it, she saw her red and swollen eyes and her azure eyes, and couldn't help but ask a few questions.

The next second, she whispered with blushing cheeks and slurred words: "They said that my eyes still need a while to recover, so they look a little red...".

I sat down on the table and devoured my rice bowl, and when I heard her voice respond indistinctly.

The little girl in front of me seemed to have endless words to me after waking up, and I talked to her for a long time while eating the food on the table.

Until two familiar words suddenly came out of her mouth, and I was so shocked that I almost didn't drop the bowl in my hand on the ground.

"Holy Maiden... What saint? ”

My eyes widened to startle her, and it took a while for her to cautiously speak, "When I was about to wake up, I heard what those Miao people were going to prepare... What kind of sacrifice, but also a saint to participate in it...".

"Oh no, why didn't you say it earlier."

I screamed and pulled up Xiao Yue, who looked dazed, and kicked the door open.

At this time, the already depressed street scene outside the stilted building became more silent, and two rows of old stilted buildings hung bacon and clothes unique to the Miao Jiang people.

Only this time, I saw at a glance that there was no half of the mysterious Miao people dressed in black at the entrance of the village, and there was no one in the empty village.

The atmosphere was instantly depressed to the extreme, and I felt an indescribable weirdness and fear in my heart.

Then he turned around and brought the Miao knife from the house, and pulled Xiao Yue, who was dazed, and ran desperately towards the exit of the village.

"You... What are you doing. ”

Xiao Yue tried her best to break free of my arm, and just wanted to question me loudly, but I was unexpectedly carried by me on her shoulder, and she still ran desperately.

"You... Are you hiding something from me? ”

Her voice echoed in my ears, and I knew that this little girl must have realized something during this time, but now the truth is complicated.

Even I don't know why I'm running, but I vaguely feel that those Miao people are very similar to the dreams in the Tang tomb.

It seems that the Taoist priest sacrificed his daughter for some kind of burial, and this ancient and mysterious ritual requires the living to be buried in a coffin and buried in the earth until eternity.

"It's too late to explain to you, if we don't run, we'll both have to finish playing!"

I ran towards the exit of the village little by little against the oncoming wind, but I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.

It belongs to the deep mountains of Xiangxi, and there is no wind and no waves, why did such a big wind suddenly blow.

Until the entrance of the village was only 100 steps away from him, the oncoming wind became more violent, and the drying rack made of bamboo beside him made a terrifying sound by the "crunch" of the strong wind.

There were dark clouds overhead, and the sun was long gone.

I dragged my tired body and couldn't help but put down Xiao Yue on my shoulder, thinking that I and Xiao Yue would definitely encounter robbery and murder on the way.

It's just that when approaching the entrance of the village, there is not even a single figure around.

"Run! There must be quirkiness here, and it is not advisable to stay for long. ”

I took Xiaoyue's white palm and shuttled desperately into the bamboo forest, but the next second I looked at the familiar village entrance in front of me, and my heart became more and more desolate.

"I... We're lost. ”

As hard as I could believe, it really seems to be true right now.

No matter how we made our way through the bamboo forest, we were still facing the familiar entrance of the village when we walked out of the bamboo forest again.

"What to do... How so.... ”

Xiao Yue sat on the ground with some collapse, her face was soaked with tears, until the next second she suddenly covered her eyes and screamed desperately in pain.

I turned around and looked at her with some confusion, only to find that her face was covered with blood at some point, and she looked very terrifying.

"TM's, it must be those Miao people who are messing around."

I let out a loud cry, picked up the petite Xiao Yue, and rushed into the bamboo forest again, the dark clouds above me continued to be patchy, as if a torrential rain would fall at any time.

Looking back at the uninhabited bamboo forest path, I gritted my teeth and finally ran towards the so-called forbidden place.

This time, the road seemed to be very short, and when I looked up again, I saw the dilapidated and strange stilted building lined up in front of me.

The weeds in the small courtyard were more than a man tall, and the strange old well was covered by stone grinders, which made me feel a little relieved.

According to speculation, the reason why this place was listed as a forbidden place by those Miao Jiang people in the first place was that the ape who knew human nature and pretended to be a ghost was doing tricks.

"How's it going, girl..., wake up."

"Don't... Don't scare Lao Tzu. ”

I carefully pushed open the wooden door of the stilted building, looked at the thin layer of dust falling on the wooden bed and felt a little relieved, turned around and put Xiao Yue behind me.

This time, Xiaoyue became speechless, I was a little nervous for fear that she would have an accident again, but it was only after a while that she trembled again.

"I... How I feel my eyes moving on their own, as if they are out of control."

"Boom."

A thunderclap resounded outside the window, and the dark clouds that had been dense over the stilted building for a long time finally fell, and the torrential rain was accompanied by roaring lightning, and the sound was extremely terrifying.

"It's okay... It's okay, let me take a look. ”

I carefully removed Xiao Yue's palms that were tightly covering my eyes, and the next strange scene made me almost fall to the ground, and my body was covered in cold sweat.

Through the messy strands of hair, I found that her eyes had completely turned blood-red at this time, and there was no difference between the whites of her eyes and her pupils.

"You... What do you see, why are you and other things in my eyes crimson... I'm so scared. ”

I just wanted to take Xiaoyue into my arms and comfort me softly, but the next second I looked through her shoulder at the blurred window paper reflecting the window.

A huge bronze coffin was unconsciously lined up in the small courtyard, and with the roaring thunder and lightning, it was constantly being washed by the torrential rain.

"Boom..."

The sound of thunder and lightning resounded incessantly, and the little psychological defense I had left completely collapsed in the strange scene in front of me.

"TM, it must be those Miao people who are messing with ghosts, Lao Tzu went to split them."

I was like crazy at the moment, and I just wanted to kick the door open, but I heard Xiao Yue, who hadn't left me for two seconds, let out a huge scream.

"Hell... Hell. ”

My first reaction was that she must have seen herself through something or in a mirror, but when she turned around, she realized that she had been wrong.

The secret door hidden on the wall was flowing a large amount of blood along the gap at the moment, and Xiao Yue was frightened by the scene in front of her.

I hurriedly turned around and ran over to hold him in my arms and comforted him softly, the Miao knife in my hand trembling outside the window in the middle of the thunderstorm.

This time I finally knew that this place would be listed as a forbidden place by those Miao people, and maybe this would be the next place to be used for the "Holy Maiden's Funeral" thousands of years later.

They did everything possible to force me and Xiaoyue into here, they must have wanted to achieve an unknown goal.

"Don't... Don't be afraid, Uncle will take you out. ”

I didn't know how to comfort her young heart for a while, but I couldn't help but feel a little guilty in the face of this experience that shouldn't have belonged to her.

And a person who is about to run thirty, calling himself an uncle in front of her also seems more kind.

"Don't... Don't leave me, I'm so scared. ”

Xiao Yue's voice already revealed the immaturity of a girl, and waving her arms like blindness at this moment made me feel even more distressed.

I stared closely at the brand-new bronze coffin outside the window, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

"TM, or just find a way to destroy it, force those Miao people who are hiding in the shadows to show up, and then take the opportunity to find a way out."

I turned to look inside the empty, dusty cabin, where the puddle of blood was dripping down the cracks in the floor that ran through the cracks in the secret door.
