"Fifth Master?" Da Lei called him twice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But the fifth master was as motionless as a petrified statue.

Da Lei was anxious, stretched out his hand and pushed him twice, and after a long time, the fifth master eased up, grabbed Da Lei's shoulder, and said: "Baby, you have made a big disaster!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Do you know why that so-called hydra is here?"

Da Lei shook his head: "I only saw it in books, the ancient beasts, I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes." ”

The fifth master hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't know if it's a fierce beast or not, this snake is a guardian beast in the tomb, just like a watchdog!" It is located in the sandy world, the climate is extreme, and it is deep underneath, and it is not seen in the sun, damp and cold. Snakes are cold-blooded, and the temperature here is perfect for them. It is rumored to have lived in the extreme underground for thousands of years. This snake is called a willow python in our place! It had nine heads and eighteen eyes, eight yellow and ten red. ”

"So what?"

"Gu Yun: 'The head of ten thousand snakes, Liu Nai, is extremely vicious and cruel, often lives in the depths, and it is advisable to move, with nine heads and different eyes, one for death, one for curse, ten red and eight yellow. ＇”

"What do you mean?"

"The python's eyes have two colors, red for death and yellow for curse. If your knife is stabbed in the red eye, I am afraid that you will be killed on the spot, and if you don't have a full corpse, it will turn into a pool of blood and dissolve in an instant! Piercing on the yellow eye is a great disrespect to the tomb owner, angering the undead and cursing for life! ”

The last sentence of the curse haunted him for life, which made Da Lei tremble! He blinked his eyes and was stunned, and said in confusion: "That beast attacked me at that time, and I had nowhere to hide, so I didn't resist and waited to be eaten by it!" Besides, no matter how red and yellow I stab, I won't end well, what's the difference between a curse and death?! ”

"I don't know about that. However, although the willow python has a cold and brutal temperament, it is not very aggressive. In other words, you don't mess with it, it doesn't mess with you. If you mess with it, it's going to kill you! ”

Da Lei rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't provoke it, it was this beast that suddenly pounced like crazy." ”

"You came out of the side burial chamber."

"Side burial chamber?"

"It's the tomb with the white jade coffin. The burial chambers are divided into side tombs and main tombs. It is generally two side chambers and one main chamber. Arranged in a north-south or east-west arrangement. Some are larger, such as this one, where there are thousands of small chambers in the tomb with black coffins, and dozens of side chambers to hide people's eyes and ears, the purpose is to make people unable to figure out where the main chamber is. ”

No wonder, Da Lei nodded thoughtfully, he thought he had found the main tomb of the guardian at the time, but he didn't expect it to be just a disguise. Presumably he came out of the side room and alarmed the willow python.

"Presumably the python misunderstood you and thought you were going to encroach on its territory." The fifth master said.

Embezzlement?!

Da Lei was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he wanted to kneel on the ground. It stands to reason that this animal has lived for thousands of years, and it can't be spiritual, right? How can you mistakenly think that you are encroaching on its territory?!

I was about to open my mouth to ask how the fifth master knew that he was coming from the side room, but when he looked up, he found that his gaze fell on the spear behind him.

The gun was taken from the dead body in the white jade coffin.

The dead body is the brother of the fifth master.

Da Lei was a little embarrassed, but the fifth master didn't react, he said tepidly: "This gun is eight stunned, he was the youngest in our team at that time, and there was an eight engraved on the handle of the gun." ”

Da Lei paused and said, "Ahem.... I was also stupid by a series of strange things at the time, thinking that I had no weapon to defend myself, and as soon as my head was hot, I took the gun off your brother's body, I'm sorry, Fifth Master...."

The fifth master waved his hand: "I don't blame you." ”

"But Fifth Master, how do you know so much about this snake?"

"Alas...."The fifth master sighed: "Brothers really don't hide it, we are here for this snake!" ”

He took the gun behind Da Lei, stroked the twisted and crooked "eight" on the handle of the gun, and said: "That year, there was war smoke everywhere, and the people were uneasy. I have two sons in my family, and my brother went to fight against Japan and joined the army, but my mother left me behind, saying that I couldn't break off. I have loved reading and writing since I was a child, and I worked as a teacher in a small village. As a result, at the end of 1941, a ****** broke out in his hometown, and countless people died. After the natural disaster, there were droughts and locust plagues.... starved to death grandparents, tired to death. Sick to death. The war and the illness caused him to cut off contact with his brother......" Speaking of this, the fifth master paused, he closed his eyes and couldn't tell the joy and sorrow on his face, and Da Lei also understood.

"Eight stunned is the child I grew up with, he was born with dementia, and he always likes to drool and look at people and giggle. He had no father or mother since he was a child, and he grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village. But a fool has a fool's fortune, and ****** didn't starve him to death that year. After my mother died, I took him to a foreign land. But there are wars everywhere, and I want to serve the country as a soldier, but I am an idiot, and I am too young to resist a gun! No one could ask for it, and I couldn't have left him behind. In the end, Lao Tzu shook his hand and let go of the sour anger of the scholar and became a bandit with others. ”

"The border city of Fengxiong Mountain is our territory, which is located at the junction of the two cities, there are often merchants and landlords carrying goods through, the mountains are green grass, there are many kinds of medicines, and occasionally there are Chinese medicine doctors to collect medicines. The bandits' den is full of hard-working people, and everyone tacitly sets a rule with each other: robbing money and not robbing sex, and not moving a knife without moving. Don't move military rations, don't move salaries, don't move innocent people. ”

"About Manbai, it is the Luo Yusha in your mouth, which was also told to us by the doctor who passed by when he stopped. He said that this is the divine flower bloomed by the god of the earth, comparable to Hua Tuo in the world, and at that time, the eldest brother also laughed at the doctor, saying that the old man was confused, and the books were all lies! I smirked and said it couldn't be. I didn't expect to see thousands of Manbai now! ”

"One evening, the sun was about to set. I was lying in the jungle napping with the second master and the eight stunned people, but I saw a man dressed as a rich merchant passing by, it was very strange, it is impossible for such a person to appear alone in the wilderness, and although he was richly dressed, he was dusty, his face was haggard, and he had nothing on his body, only a package on his back. I didn't have much interest in him at the time, I just thought he was a businessman who had fled the country. The second boss didn't bother to start, thinking that there must be no valuable treasure on this person. But the eight stunned people were very excited, pointing to the man's package and not knowing what to say. ”

"I saw that he was so happy, so I thought about it, and just played with him. In fact, when he usually 'work', he only watched from the side, or scolded him with a knife, but he couldn't really rob and hurt people, this kid was very timid! I jumped out of the jungle and blocked the man's path, and the fool followed me. This man saw that the posture was wrong, and turned around and tried to flee the same way, but the second boss also intercepted him from the back road. It was not early in the morning, and I was hungry, so I thought I would finish it quickly. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, this person actually knelt on the ground first, took out the jade pendant he was carrying and threw it to me, shouting and begging for mercy, saying that his house was on fire, and the whole family, including his subordinates, was burned to death. Because he was out talking about business that night, he was the only one who lived. All the belongings were given to us with this jade pendant, just to save our lives. I see that this jade pendant has a good color and is worth a few dollars, and I didn't want to make a big deal about it, I was about to let him go, but the second master quit. I thought to myself that these two masters generally accept when they see a good thing, this is not his style of doing things..."

"The second master said, 'Yu Pei is for you, leave the package.' The man pleaded bitterly, saying that there were only a few warm clothes in his bag. Eight stunned didn't know why, that day was very excited, actually rushed up to grab someone's package, that person was willing to let go, I saw that something was wrong, went up to help, panicked and disputed me and eight stunned pushed the person down, the result was ......"

"What happened?" Da Lei asked.

"Fengxiong Mountain Road is narrow and steep, the cliff is high and the rock is steep, the man rolled down the mountain, and the second master wanted to reach out and hold him, but he couldn't do anything...... He must have fallen to his death on such a high mountainside. ”

"I was frightened at that time, a living person just fell in front of my eyes, and I was still dragging his package in my hand, and I remember very clearly, it was a dark blue satin package, which I was dragging so badly, and my hands were red. The second master was also stunned, but he quickly relented, patted me on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Ten merchants and nine evils. It is estimated that he has also squeezed a lot of people's hard-earned money, and you can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven in this way. Unfazed, he snatched the package and opened it eagerly, containing a few pieces of clothing, a map, and a book. ”

"I don't say the map, you know, it's the road map to the Loulan ruins. And that book records the python in detail. Its blood is the first of all poisons, blood stains the human body and can die bones, and there is no grain where the blood flows! But its saliva is the best of all treasures! If Manbai can heal his bones in one day, and change his skin and flesh in half a moment, then the saliva of this willow python can be brought back to life without disease! ”

"After the book and the map were brought back, several of our brothers studied it carefully, and the book not only recorded the willow python, but also some other treasures, which were not written in the book, just a sentence: If you have a corner, if you have a city. This sentence made the eldest brother very excited, and he said that since the businessman can give us all his belongings, he doesn't want to give up this book, which means that what is recorded on it is true! Now in the midst of a war and chaos, I can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes, so I just go and see. If it's written blindly, let's change the nest, if it's really better. The second master didn't speak, in fact, we didn't have any opinions, just like that, all the way here. And then, you know. ”

"Do you still have the book and the map?" Da Lei asked.

The fifth master shook his head: "The books and maps are all kept by the eldest brother, and when I come out, they are all dead, and the eldest brother's bag doesn't know where it fell, in short, it is not on him." ”

"And then, did you see the snake when you came in?"

"No, I'm the only one who saw it." The fifth master said: "I stumbled out of the corridor and came to the side room in a daze. As soon as I came in, I saw the eldest brother lying on his back outside the white jade coffin, and the large and small holes on his body were full of dense insects...... I didn't know what mood I was in at the time, so I pushed him down into the hole under the white jade coffin, knelt on the ground and coughed three heads, and I was supposed to be buried in the ground. Later, I wanted to see what was in the white jade coffin, but the coffin was so high that I couldn't push it open. At this moment, the white jade coffin suddenly glowed!! The entire white jade coffin became transparent, and I could clearly see the shadow of the dead brother inside.... Their heads were nailed to the walls of the coffins and did not move .... The light didn't last long before it went out. I was so sad that I didn't even have time to cry when I heard a strange sound, I turned my head, and the nine-headed python was lying outside, its huge body was two stories high, their huge red and yellow eyes were staring at me, and the sound of snakeskin wriggling came to me, and I was not afraid at that time, and even felt that I was simply dead. When I first joined the bandits, I drank oath wine, and swore with my brothers: I will not be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I will die on the same day and month of the same year. But strangely, one of the pythons spat out a letter and stretched out into the side chamber and rolled me up. Lao Tzu thought that people would die sooner or later, but he didn't expect that he would be eaten by animals. Then it took me out of the side room, placed me on the statue, squirmed and swam away. ”

"As the saying goes, if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing. Besides, there are too many strange things here, strange time, no thirst, no hunger, no old age, no death, Manbai, willow python, thousands of coffins..... I'm not going to give up until I figure out what's going on. All this must have something to do with the owner of the tomb, but I'm ashamed that I haven't found out where the main tomb is, let alone say it. ”

"Then you dived into the water to find the tomb owner?"

"You also know the structure here, the two walls of the building form a ring, deep underneath, thousands of feet wide, thousands of feet large. The main tomb is so easy to find. I thought about trying my luck in the stone statue, but I didn't expect that it was also criss-crossed, and the layout was extremely complicated. I've watched it up and down for so many years, but unfortunately there is nothing. I was about to go out and look outside the stone statue when I ran into you. Tsk...."The fifth master sighed: "As a result, you stupid baby also stabbed the yellow eyes of the willow python!" Now they are all dead outside, the blood is poisonous, it must have flowed hundreds of feet deep, and going out is tantamount to looking for death. ”

Da Lei was also quite aggrieved in his heart, and he said: "What's the difference between being trapped in this ghost place and being cursed. It's a big deal, how can you get it! ”

"You can't say that."

"Fifth Master, do you have anything you haven't said?" Da Lei felt that the fifth master looked solemn and couldn't help asking.

"Alas..... That's it..."The fifth master said: "Back then, when we set off according to the map route, we found that the direction we went was the direction from which the merchant came. ”

"So what?"

"On the third night of the trip, I couldn't sleep and wanted to come out to pee, just in time to see the second master sitting on the stone with a sad face. We sat and talked for a while. He said that the reason why he was holding on to the merchant's package that day was because he felt strange. Although the merchant was bloated, he had a sallow complexion. The buttons of the clothes are all buttoned and the size is not appropriate. According to what he said, how could a businessman who was out talking about business wear such a messy outfit? That means the clothes are not his! He's not a businessman either! And he was in a hurry, so it was clear that he was fleeing, and he was in a hurry. So he's lying! ”

"The eldest brother is righteous and heroic, and he is the pillar of the brothers. The second master is cautious and thoughtful, and he is more like our military advisor in comparison. Sometimes we would make fun of him and make him a political commissar. At that time, after the second boss said this, my scalp was numb, but the most terrifying thing was what he said next. The fifth master lowered his voice: "The second master said: 'The reason why fools are fools is because they are not in the same world as us. In other words, to be able to see things that we can't see. ＇”＇

"You mean..... Eight stunned? Da Lei said.

"Yes." The fifth master nodded: "When I saw the person's package, the eight stunned people were extremely excited, he had never been like this, although he usually smirked all the time, but that was his normality, the normal state without any emotions, his expression was very vivid that day, and it was completely full of emotion." To be honest, I find it scary. ”

"The second master told me that he had looked at the map repeatedly, and it was already very wrinkled, and there were blood stains on it. Most importantly, it was summer, and there was no rain for several months during the great drought. The grass was extremely dry, and the war of resistance against Japan continued. That is to say, in the near future, except for a few of our brothers, Fengxiong Mountain has only come to that pseudo-businessman. And we have been on the road for three days, all the way in the direction where the man came, and there are only footprints of that man along the way. The eldest brother also muttered something strange, but he didn't take it to heart. ”

"It's been three days, and there are only the footprints of that one person. In other words, the pseudo-merchant has already been to this place and gone out again!! He traveled all the way from hell to Fengxiong Mountain, and finally died. ”

"Baby, I said that I couldn't find an exit, so I advised you not to waste your efforts, but in fact, I never gave up in my heart. After all, someone has gone out! It's just that I've been at a loss for so many years, and I really think it's ridiculous. ”

The fifth master's words made Da Lei surprised and delighted. I'm glad that I can really get out, but what I'm surprised about is that the death of the pseudo-merchant has anything to do with his own curse?

The fifth master seemed to see his doubts, and continued: "When I was rolled up by the letter of the giant python and placed on the stone statue, I glanced at it, and there was a scratch on its bright yellow eye. ”

"You mean ....."

"The pseudo-merchant came here, and also met the willow python, and as a last resort, he scratched the eyes of one of the giant pythons, and it was a yellow eye. Later, although he went out, he also died in an accident. And he was indeed panicking all the way that day, as if he was hiding from something. I've been wondering all these years, now that he has escaped, what is he afraid of? And your baby, it's a big deal to die. It's easy to put it...... The pseudo-merchant just scratched his yellow eyes, and his corpse was in a different place, what will happen if you stab him with this cruel knife? ”

The last sentence of the fifth master was like a dose of anesthetic hitting Da Lei's cranial nerves, he fell into a state of dizziness, and the sentence was repeated in his mind: "What will happen?" ”
