Chapter 530: Collecting Birds (51)
I wanted to ask Su Mengke for the specific reason, but remembering that she was just a walking corpse now, I dispelled the idea in my heart and helped her to the bed, I was afraid that the theft of the corpse would happen again, so I looked under the bed, and there was no movement, so I walked towards the door, reached out and pulled out the door bolt, what made me wonder was that the door seemed to be locked on both sides, and the inside and outside were locked.
At first, I thought it was because the door was too tight, and I broke it hard, only to find that the outside seemed to be locked with a chain to lock the deadbolt, what the hell, it was locked inside and out, how did the person who locked the door get out?
I was a little panicked, and I walked around the room a few times, and found that the room was sealed except for a window, and the window was made of horizontal and vertical wooden strips, and there was a totem in the middle.
This reminds me that when I first entered the Ten Thousand Pagoda, there was a cement pillar in the square, and the pillar was also carved with this kind of swallow, could it be that this swallow is the totem of the Miao people?
I thought about it for a while, the totem of the Miao people seems to have swallows, but it is definitely not this kind of swallow, you must know that this kind of swallow on the totem is exactly the same as the swallows we usually see, the Miao people are famous for their mystery, how can they use this kind of swallow as a totem? It doesn't seem to make sense.
I touched the totem, and it felt a little cold, the shape was small, the wings were narrow, the tail was short, the beak was very small, and strangely, the swallow's beak was faintly golden.
A golden beak?
I was stunned for a moment, the beaks of ordinary swallows are dark gray or dark black, and there are few golden ones, is this not a swallow but a magpie? No, magpies are much larger than swallows, so they shouldn't be magpies.
I stayed where I was for a few minutes, and I really couldn't figure out what kind of bird it was, so I had to look outside through the gap in the window, the scenery outside was very unfamiliar, not like the Shi family's firewood house, but a bit like the Su family's house.
I think so, because I see that my location seems to be halfway up the mountain, through the moonlight, I can vaguely see a lantern road, I remember the first time I came to Su's house, I passed a lantern road, is this Su's house?
Thinking of this, I shouted a few words outside, is there anyone?
shouted seven or eight times in a row, no one paid attention to me, which made me embarrassed, let's not talk about what happened to the Shijia firewood room, let's just say that the layout in this room is obviously a wedding room, could it be that I am now married to Su Mengke?
No, I remember Lao Xiucai told me, he said that the process of getting a yin marriage here in Xiangxi is extremely complicated, and it will take several days, and I have only been in a coma for half a day, and it is impossible to complete the yin marriage.
But what is everything in this room now? How can there be a reason to lock the man and the woman in the same room before they are married, this is unreasonable, I believe that the Su family will definitely abide by the tradition and will not destroy the tradition.
So, what's all this going on right now?
All of a sudden, my mind was so confused that I could only shout a few more times, and what puzzled me was that no one paid attention to me every time I spoke, even if there was some slight movement outside, it was only for a moment, and I would immediately fall into a dead silence.
Made, what the hell is going on?
I scolded secretly, sat down on the edge of the bed in frustration, and raised my eyes to look at Su Mengke, she still had the same expression.
Time is always lost unconsciously, and soon, I stayed in this room for two or three hours, and the moonlight outside gradually dimmed, and the light in the whole room dimmed a little.
I feel a little irritable in my heart, since entering the Ten Thousand Towers, too many strange things have happened, first the so-called marriage is a fake, then Su Mengke died but walked like a living person, and then Aunt Lian, Shi Baobao, and the relationship between Granny Qiao and Aunt Lian, as well as the Ma family.
I don't know what's going on, I always feel that this Ma family should have something to do with the Su family, one is the resurrection technique of the Ma family, and the other is that Aunt Lian's natal Gu can actually make the dead walk, and the two should be related.
Subsequently, I will enter the Ten Thousand Towers, one by one, the tragic discovery, this time to the Ten Thousand Towers has been calculated, what is even more tragic is that I don't know who is calculated, I know that someone should be controlling all this.
I have a few guesses about the person behind the scenes, one is Aunt Lian, the other is Granny Qiao, the other is the Shi family's Shi Sansan, who has never met, and the Ma family's wizard who knows resurrection.
For these four people, Aunt Lian is the least likely, Granny Qiao is second, and the most suspicious are Shi Tiantian and the Ma family. As for why they wanted to promote this yin marriage, to be honest, I don't believe that they are to fulfill Su Mengke's dream, I always feel that they should have some other purpose in it, what the specific purpose is, I can't say, but, I vaguely feel that they should be aimed at me or something.
Thinking about this, I don't know who else in these Ten Thousand Towers is worthy of my trust, and who else can solve all the doubts in my heart, I think of Joyce first, I think of her as a good friend, but, this matter involves Granny Joe, my trust in her plummets, and besides, she herself is involved in this matter.
The second thing I thought of was Lang Gao, but he entered the Ten Thousand Towers at the same time as me, and I shouldn't know much.
The third thing that comes to mind is Aunt Lian, I can see that her mother-daughter love for Su Mengke is real, she is dedicated to Su Mengke, after all, she is at the cost of her own life, just to fulfill Su Mengke's dream, and it is precisely because of this that she is the least suspicious.
Then again, although Aunt Lian is worth believing, in order to find Su Mengke's body, she should be no longer alive at this time, and this line is completely broken.
Suddenly, I fell into silence, holding my chin in one hand and brushing everything again, and gradually I found that I had neglected someone, Su Mengke's father, Su Dahe.
Frankly speaking, this Su Dahe doesn't give me a very good feeling, first in marriage, and then during the day, his attitude towards yin marriage is a little ambiguous, as soon as Aunt Lian said yin marriage, he immediately went back to prepare, ignoring Su Mengke's whereabouts, this is not like a father's actions.
Could it be that Su Dahe is playing tricks on all this? It's not like ah, that person just has some money, he shouldn't have this ability, besides, money doesn't seem to be of much use in this 10,000 tower, otherwise the Su family wouldn't be at the end of the eight families.
But if it weren't for him, what would be the mystery of all this?
Thinking, thinking, I suddenly remembered a very familiar person, Qing Xuanzi, yes, it is Qing Xuanzi, this Taoist priest also came to Xiangxi, in his words, I committed the peach blossom robbery, he came here to help me, but, I have been in the Ten Thousand Towers for several days, and I haven't seen his shadow at all.
As soon as I thought of Qing Xuanzi, there was a noise at the door, a bit like the sound of unlocking, and I was overjoyed and stared at the door.
