229. Underground stone statues

Perhaps letting go of the attachment in our hearts, the soul of the dress-wearing dissipated, and we took the box to the ground, and the most exciting thing was to find out what was inside.

I'm also curious about how a family has paid such a heavy price for the contents of this box, what is it in it, could it be some antiques with a long history? But my thought of this year was quickly laughed at, it can't be an antique, besides, antiques are valuable, and the things that their Wu family guards are more like a spiritual belief.

Wu Fatzi opened the box, but what appeared inside was much beyond the expectations of each of us, there was a mask inside, and there was nothing else except the mask.

I picked up the mask, but found that there was no record on it, just some text-based things, which were so dense that from a distance it looked like a speck, plain.

Zhao Xiwen didn't speak, obviously she didn't know much about it, and Wu Fatzi sat on the ground and said dejectedly: "Don't tell me, my grandfather killed so many people for this mask, how is this possible...... It's not scientific! ”

"Could it be that someone has taken the treasure inside?" I asked.

Zhao Xiwen said: "It's unlikely, if it's taken away, how to explain the matter of the skeleton, if you come here to get something, the soul in the skeleton will definitely not give up." ”

"What the hell is the point of this mask? And its material seems to be bronze, even if a bronze mask is an antique, it can't sell for much money, not to mention that if you take a closer look, there is already a lot of patina on it, and the appearance looks like a monkey's face, there is no touching place, it seems that this time I was pitted by my grandmother. Fat Wu sighed for a while, and simply stopped talking.

At this time, I put the bronze mask on my face, and suddenly I only felt a pain, the place where the mask touched me, there were a large number of roots, and at the same time, those roots actually pierced into the flesh of my face, which made me feel so painful, I took a lot of effort to tear the mask off, but at this time, there were several round bullet holes on my cheeks.

And at the same time as I took it down, I also found that on the edge of the mask, there were holes in the tentacles of octopuses, and they stretched back one by one, which shocked me, and suddenly felt that this mask was not simple, it seemed to be hiding something, but once it was negative on the human face, it could be like a parasite, firmly locking the human face.

I have never seen this situation, and it is also appalling, but it really appeared in front of us, Zhao Xiwen took the mask, looked at me worriedly, wiped the blood on my face for me, I said it was not in the way, and asked Zhao Xiwen if she recognized the words on it.

Zhao Xiwen looked at it for a while, and suddenly frowned, she said: "I once heard that there is a country called Luo Demon Kingdom, this country has no record in history, but it is real, their sacrifice method seems to be a person wearing a mask and using living creatures to sacrifice, but I don't know much about Luo Demon Kingdom, I'm afraid the relevant literature is still in the Dao League, if you want to solve this puzzle, you have to go to the Dao League." ”

I looked around, and I said, "Well, let's go back first, now that it's getting light, if anyone finds out we're digging a hole here, we'll get into unnecessary trouble." ”

Fat Wu also nodded and said hello.

When he was in the car, suddenly Wu Fat Man said: "By the way, didn't my grandmother say this, she had a conversation with my aunt's soul, maybe my grandma knows something!" ”

"That's right! Your grandma probably knows! I was pleasantly surprised.

Zhao Xiwen nodded: "I should know a little, after all, she asked us to come over, and this is also the dead girl's confession, so it is not surprising." ”

We returned to Wu's house, it was still the big courtyard, and at this time the old lady was already waiting for us, Wu Fatzi hurriedly ran over, he said, "Grandma, why don't you go to rest?" ”

"What kind of rest, it's already morning, I see that you haven't come back in the morning, I'm worried about you, if you don't get up, I'll stand at the door and wait for you, let's all go in, a bowl of wontons per person." The old lady smiled very kindly.

We came to the inner hall, and after handing the mask to the old lady, the old lady was slightly stunned, but still regained her calm: "Sure enough, as my eldest sister said, there is nothing in it but only a mask. ”

"If you know it's a mask, why do you deceive us into gold and silver?" I asked, after all, in this matter, from the most basic point of view, it is still the old lady's fault, and this mask is also a completely different concept from treasure.

The old lady said that she was afraid that we would not go, so she used the treasure as a reason to let us go and bring it back, although the old lady's calculation made me very unhappy, but think about it carefully, an old woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, one has no money, two has no power, to let people do things, must be tempted by profit, she is also an old man with ideas.

The old lady looked at the mask and said: "The Wu family is actually inextricably linked to this mask, and the ancestor of the Wu family was not from Luoyang, but from the Western Regions......

"Luo Demon Kingdom." Zhao Xiwen stood up.

And the old lady looked at Zhao Xiwen even more homely, and she said, "How do you know?!" ”

"Sure enough, in the Qing Dynasty, the entire country of Luo Moguo disappeared from the world, there must be a problem, I saw it from some ancient books, the legend of Luo Moguo, old lady, let me guess, the ancestor of the Wu family should be the high priest of Luo Moguo......"

"yes, I didn't expect anyone else to know about it." As she spoke, the old lady asked us to follow, and the old lady said, "This is what my eldest sister told me when she was leaving, and it was my son who knew the secret, but my husband died when I was pregnant, and some things have not been passed down...... Before leaving, he also told me something, that is, no matter what, this ancient mansion is not allowed to be sold, not why...... It's for those things in the basement. ”

"Basement?" I looked at the old lady in amazement.

The old lady laughed at herself: "I claim to be a member of the Wu family, but I didn't expect that they never treated me as their own, and they didn't tell me such a big thing...... If you think about it, I'm really sad, but because I'm old, I can think about anything......"

We followed the old lady to the ancestral hall and found that the ancestral hall was full of tablets, and the top one was a wordless tablet, which was very bizarre.

At this time, the old lady walked to the back of the ancestral hall, that is, in front of a statue, she broke one of the statue's hands downward, but she didn't expect this monkey statue to be a mechanism, at the same time, the ground vibrate, and under our feet, there was a rural ramp.

The old lady brought the lantern and glanced at us lightly: "Come here......"

She said very melancholy, but also a little more helpless, and when we walked down, we saw that the surrounding walls were already covered with cobwebs, and after two turns down, we came to a basement, the old lady looked for it, turned on the switch, and there was an electric light here, and it was the oldest incandescent lamp.

It seems that because the wires are aging, so the bulb is flickering and unstable, but I still see that in the entire basement, dozens of coffins are quietly placed, which are already full of dust at this time, and they look quite historical, and the old lady said: "The ancestor of the Wu family is the high priest, and the status of the high priest is similar to that of the emperor, these coffins are also the coffins of the high priests of the past dynasties, when the country was ruined, these coffins were smuggled here, and the snow was hidden, If my sister hadn't told me these things, I would have been in the dark, and I didn't know that there were so many coffins hidden in the home where I had lived for so many years. ”

"It's all about ordinary coffins, but what does it have to do with this face, old lady, you let us come here?" I asked.

The old lady was expressionless and walked to the middle of the coffin, next to a stone statue, which was a very grotesque stone statue......
