Chapter 133: Death in lieu of death

I walked a little closer to the secret door that was oozing blood.

The bright red blood dripped to the ground little by little along the cracks of the stilted building, and the "tick-tock" echoed with a terrifying sound.

I vaguely remember that there should be a hidden separate bathroom in this secret door, and there is a strange specimen of a horse's head hanging on the wall.

I didn't even dare to look back at the crying Xiaoyue, but silently blamed myself for all the changes in this line in my heart.

Thunder and torrential rain crashed on the roof of the old stilted building, and the sound of water rushing down the cracks in the floor beneath his feet.

It seemed that the entire old building had been flooded, mixed with blood rushing into the small courtyard and seeping into the damp and saturated soil little by little.

The thoughts in his head gradually came back to his senses, and he looked at the strange secret door in front of him and couldn't help but subconsciously clench the Miao knife in his hand.

"Who!"

I screamed like a nervous person, but I forgot that Xiao Yue, who was suffering from physical and mental fragility behind me, was obviously stunned.

Following her gaze, Xiao Yue was stretching out a finger at the secret door that I kicked open, with a stunned expression.

I hurriedly turned around, ready for the worst and worst.

But when the eyes were focused on the narrow secret door, there was nothing terrifying inside.

If the specimen of the horse's face embedded in the wall is oozing blood little by little along the eyeballs, it can be regarded as some kind of terrifying sight.

That little trick like this, which I have been accustomed to along the way, naturally can't scare my Ganzi.

Xiao Yue behind him was shocked by the sight and didn't dare to open his eyes.

Droplets of water seeped from the narrow ceiling inside the secret door, dripping down the cracks in the wooden barrel next to it.

The water was mixed with blood, and it was a little overflowing, and at this moment I inadvertently found a square wooden box with iron nails pressed under the barrel.

It's recessed in the mezzanine of the floor, so it's a little easy to ignore and hard to spot at first glance.

I removed the bucket on it in fear, and took out the old-fashioned wooden box with a trembling hand as if I was holding a **.

At first glance, it resembles the most inconspicuous dilapidated box from an antique stall in the market, with angular copper nails and a bronze lion's head ring clearly carved into the lid.

However, the strange situation in front of me made me really dare not take it lightly, and gently pulled open the copper ring on the wooden box, and a burst of dust and smoke spread in front of me.

I couldn't help but wipe it with my hand, and the thick two-finger dust almost choked me half to death.

"Oh shit..., this family is fucking lazy... Ahem... Ahem".

Xiao Yue behind me also seemed to be a little worried about my safety, she trembled and stretched out her hands to scratch in the air, which made me feel guilty and distressed.

The moment I came back to my senses, I found that the box contained a very old red robe, and it was wrapped in a copper mask like the one worn on the head of the leader of Miao Jiang.

Only this time the patterns on it are more cumbersome, and some of the costumes are shaped like flower petals, as if they were made for women.

"It's... What is this. ”

Xiao Yue walked over a little trembling, her eyes had turned blood red, and it seemed that she had lost most of her vision if she was not completely blind.

"Damn, I understand."

"The red robe in the box, along with the brass coffin that appeared out of thin air, is a huge conspiracy."

"This group of people is not Miao people at all, and they brought us here to force you to put on a sacrificial robe, and obediently run into the coffin to wait to be sacrificed."

In an instant, the thoughts in my head were connected like thousands of threads, as if most of the mysteries had found answers.

The coffin lying in the coffin of the ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty was not a princess at all, but a victim who was forced to sacrifice by them in the previous generation.

No wonder they wanted me to take off that woman's eyeball, which was actually a series of traps set up for you as a sacrifice.

"Woo... No... I've lost my eyes and I don't want to die here... I don't want to... Woooooooooo ”

Suddenly, Xiaoyue's cry came from behind me, and I couldn't help but touch her pretty little dimples, but my heart was like a hundred claws scratching my heart.

Now this sacrificial robe is clearly for women, who else here besides Xiaoyue will be a woman who can be willing to lie in the coffin.

The terrifying explosion thundered in the dark clouds, and the huge brass coffin in the courtyard of the stilted building gently exposed a gap, as if to facilitate the living sacrifice to push open the coffin and jump in.

If it were ordinary, I would definitely be tempted to scold, "This is so fucking thoughtful."

But at the moment, I have no time to take care of it, looking at Xiao Yue who is hiding by the bed and shivering, I really don't have the courage to look up and stare at her blood-red eyes.

Wearing a fancy red robe, he looks a little like a bride who has just come out of the cabinet, but the floral mask on his face and the pendant on the back of his head are a little biased towards the Japanese Showa armor.

"I... When I left, I must remember that when the weather is clear, I must run in one direction, even if I hit a tree, and don't look back. ”

I never thought I would sacrifice my life because of another woman, because it was always for Xiao Nan.

Until this moment, I suddenly recalled a famous sentence that Wu Laogou had said, and it was like a fart when I thought about it at first, but now it sounds like bullshit.

"Afterlife."

"Never just drill a cow's horns, maybe the next second you will unknowingly burp a fart, if you die and drill a fart horns, what great ideals will you talk about."

I don't know where his accent came from in the barren village, so it still rings in my ears.

As I stood in front of the broken wooden door in my dusty sacrificial boots from the bottom of the box, I couldn't help but stroke the mask pattern on my face.

The cold, biting chill was like a pinprick that quickly avoided me, and my brain cleared.

It was as if the door to a new world had opened in front of me.

"How should a blind person walk?"

After pushing open the wooden door, his eyes trembled nervously through the gap in the mask and looked out of the building.

"Boom..."

The thunder resounded through the dark clouds, and the extremely strange and terrible weather scene was quietly condensed in the sky above an old stilted building in the mountains of Xiangxi.

Dressed in an ancient living robe, I waved my hands like a blind man in the rainstorm, but my eyes were fixed on the bronze coffin and the old well sealed by a stone mill not far away.

In my impression, the old well is more terrible than the copper coffin, and when I recall the original scene, it seems that my whole body is terrified, and the sweat droplets on my back are being soaked along the red robe.

At present, the bronze coffin is only two or three steps away from me, but at this moment, I can't help but retreat in my heart.

"What to do..., to enter or not to enter."

"If you lie in the coffin, you will definitely not survive, but if you hold on any longer, you and Xiaoyue will have to die."

For a moment, I couldn't help but think of the scene of the female corpse being gouged out, but when I thought of Xiao Yue's injury, I was self-inflicted, but I seemed very sad.

"TM's, fight!".

I gritted my teeth, and when I saw that the coffin was only two or three steps away from me, I jumped in, and I didn't know if this action was a goof.

Or is it that there are no Miao people secretly staring at us here, and everything that happened before is just an accident and coincidence.

With the cold coffin pressed to my back, I had no time to care about the inconsequential issues, but I felt like I was cold.

When I turned my head to look at it, I found that there was not even a bit of silk cloth in this copper coffin, only a very shabby wooden pillow.

However, what is worse is that there is a crisp sound of the coffin lid pushing overhead, and the huge copper coffin is already very heavy, and it takes nearly more than 100 catties to push the lid.

At this moment, I really want to jump out of the coffin to see who is the main messenger behind the scenes?

In the blink of an eye, the entire coffin lid had been completely closed, and the already dim light was completely sealed, and the space was already like a dead silence.

"Giggle..."

Strange sounds creaked out in the coffin, as if something was creaking and grinding teeth.

Suddenly, a very piercing suona sound resounded outside the coffin, accompanied by the faint sound of crackling raindrops.

I could even feel the whole coffin swaying, as if it had been lifted up by someone else.

"Well, now it's okay, I've seen so many mummies and non-rotting corpses on TV, and it's finally my turn today."

I sighed and felt the oxygen in the coffin thin a little bit, and my brain involuntarily began to regress from memory, after all, people always have to leave some thoughts when they die.

For a moment, I couldn't help but recall the scene when I was in the Spirit Slayer ten years ago, when the brothers often bragged about B and drank beer after completing their missions.

I can't help but sigh when I think about it now.

But what makes me feel the most guilty is not only Xiao Nan, but also his father, who is also the direct person in charge of the soul removal team, the "old chief".

After all, it was my indirect mistake that caused the entire team to be buried at a depth of 800 meters.

Every time I think about it, my heart feels as if it was being stabbed with a knife, but the past finally let it pass.

Those brothers and partners who lived and died were waiting quietly for themselves under the yellow spring.

I couldn't help but sigh and feel a little relieved when I thought of this.

In the next second, a trace of electric light seemed to flash in my mind, and the entire circuit was ignited like a spark, which made me break out in a cold sweat.

"I... How did I forget, how they died.... ”

"Also... There is also Xiao Nan..., I don't have any impression of the cause of Xiao Nan's death, but I have been hiding guilt in my heart for so many years, and I just keep condemning myself in my conscience. ”

"I... I can't remember, little girl... Did I really kill Xiao Nan? ”

"Boom..."

A loud thunderclap resounded outside the coffin, and the muffled sound echoed throughout the copper coffin, making my head feel like I had been hit hard.

"I'm Ganzi! The members of the soul removal team are codenamed Hummingbirds...! ”

It wasn't until the sound waves gradually subsided in my mind that I came back a little sober, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that I had been locked in a copper coffin for so long, still with a thick face and a neck without panting.

It seems that this coffin should have a ventilation opening, so that the living sacrifice person will not die directly and completely.

Just as I was thinking about it, the whole copper coffin stopped shaking, and it seemed that it had been steadily dropped to the ground, and I couldn't help but doubt the true thoughts of this "mastermind behind the scenes" at this moment.

Just by guessing, I can feel that I must have been far away from the small courtyard of the stilted building.

It seems that the next step for this group of Miao people is to dig a pit and bury me alive? …

Then it's time to go home and cook, it's time to farm.
