We were just about to go out when there was a knock on the door.

She was not afraid, and raised her hand to put the knife on my neck and motioned for me to deal with it.

The wound on my neck hadn't healed yet, and it started to hiss and hurt again when she gestured like this. He cleared his throat and asked, "Who?" ”

"You kid is really hiding here, get out of here, get out of the task."

Hearing the squad leader's voice, my tears of excitement were about to flow out, and just as I was about to respond, the knife on my neck increased its strength again.

I had no choice but to reply, "Squad leader, I'm having a stomach." ”

If you usually ask for leave to say this kind of excuse, I am afraid that I will be scolded by the squad leader. But I don't know what's going on today, the squad leader actually let me go, and only told me to hurry up and clear the in my stomach and go to meet them.

I guess it was because I was an injured person and needed to be cared for, but this empathy couldn't have come at a better time.

After the squad leader left, she put away the knife and said to me coldly, "If it's not necessary, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, let alone hurt you." You want to detoxify, I want to get what I want, everyone takes what they need, and it is a quick solution. This is not hijacking, this is fair cooperation. ”

The woman didn't look very old, but she spoke simply. I thought to myself, how can we say that we are also a big man, and we should do things simply, so I put away my thoughts about trying to escape.

After reaching a consensus, she directly put away the knife, pushed the door and walked out.

Originally, there were many disaster-stricken residents in the backyard, and no one would be suspicious when they mixed in the crowd.

I walked out behind her and whispered, "I have to know what your name is, or how can I be a partner." ”

"Afterthoughts." She replied.

"What, my name is Xiao Ding." She walked as fast as she could, leaving only one back.

Yu Nian was looking for the abbot's room, because I had been here once yesterday, so I knew where it was.

But the door is locked, and it looks like no one is in the house.

I don't know where she got her kung fu, as soon as the wire was stabbed, the lock popped open as if it were a fictitious thing.

As soon as I stepped into the room, my heart began to beat like a thief. She was calm, and after entering the house for a while, her eyes fell on the goosebump lantern that Lao Meng said.

She lifted her hand to remove the goosebump lantern, took a fire fold from her bosom, blew it twice, and lit it.

The strange fishy smell from last night came out again, as if it was the smell of the burning wick of this lantern.

Yu Nian raised his hand and touched the bed board, and after tapping, there was a sound of thumping inside.

"Empty?" I said.

She didn't answer, handed me the goosebump lantern, and lifted the bed board directly.

With a three-inch thick bed, she lifted it up so lightly with one hand, and I was really dumbfounded to see it.

In the falling dust, I saw the true face under the bed board, which turned out to be a deep corridor. Connecting to the bed is a staircase that winds its way down, bottomless.

She leaned over and motioned for me to come in, and I looked at the darkness below and shuddered. But after thinking about it, I couldn't admit it in front of her, so I went down hard.

Unexpectedly, the warm yellow light in the goosebump lantern turned green the moment it went down. And the further down it goes, the heavier the color becomes, from a little green light at first, to a completely dark green color later.

I swallowed and asked, "What the hell is this place?" Don't be the cellar in someone's temple, if you lose something, we can't explain it, or go back. ”

I got stuck in the middle of the stairs and looked back at her.

Yu Nian was not moved at all, and still used the poison in my hands to threaten.

The last step was down, twenty minutes later. I don't know if it's because the road is really long, or if my legs and stomach are weak and I walk too slowly. Anyway, by the time I got to the end, I was already sweating profusely.

The underground wall was glowing with cold, and I wanted to shiver a little when the cool air entered my body.

I looked around with a lantern and was attracted by a wall.

The walls are covered with white fossil graffiti, and although the painting is crude, you can still see the general pattern.

Yu Nian stretched out his hand and twisted the powder on the wall, and gently blew it off, "This mural has been painted for many years. ”

I looked at the picture and saw that it showed a group of people chasing a pig with fangs, and then a small river with many people lying on its side.

I looked at the murals bit by bit, and I found that all the murals were connected together, and they seemed to form a very strange story.

The people on the side of the creek vanished, and a woman with long hair was lifted up and thrown into the well, and the people at the mouth of the well threw stones into it like crazy, until the woman was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood.

Wait a minute! This story seems familiar.

The scenes depicted on the mural flashed in my mind, frame by frame, and then overlapped with a scene in my memory. I suddenly remembered that this was the story of the old emperor!

Could it be that the legend of the old queen is true? But why is it all recorded here in this form?

There was silence in the basement, and I was thinking about it when suddenly a man burst out and lunged at me.

I was so frightened that I dodged and sat down on the ground, and when I looked closely, I realized that this might not be called human anymore......

His ears were cut off, his eyes were mashed, his throat gurgling, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence. The ankles were chained to the thickness of the wrists, as if they were an ugly animal.

The injuries on his body are still newly formed, as if he has just become like this.

I was so frightened that I sat on the ground for a long time and couldn't stand up.

Yu Nian picked up the goosebump lantern beside me and shone it at the man.

Only then did I realize that he was wearing a temple robe, and his figure was a little familiar.

I recognized it for a long time, and finally recognized it from the mole on the corner of his mouth, pointed at him and said in horror, "I know him, I know him!" He was the little monk who told us the legend of the old queen that night! ”

The hairs on my body stood upside down, and I felt even more weird and terrifying when I remembered all the things before.

Who made him look like this, what is the legend of the old emperor, and what does all this have to do with me.

To put it mildly, I feel like crying a little bit, and I want to go home.

Yu Nian looked around, his eyes suddenly became cunning, and he said, "Why don't you come out to see me now, so as not to make a big fuss for a while." ”

"What are you talking about?" In this basement, apart from me and her, there is only this little monk in human form. When she suddenly said these two words, I was really a little hairy in my heart.

But at this time, her hand had already begun to move, and the bone umbrella hidden in the cuff lit up slightly in the dark, as if it had entered a defensive state.

"In this human skin lantern, there is a hidden Taoist practice of you for decades, if I give it away so lightly, the lantern will be destroyed, and the Taoist will be mourned, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to take revenge if you have been a lonely ghost for another twenty years."

As soon as she finished speaking, a dark wind blew past my ears.

She raised her hand and pushed me, and my back hit the wall directly, falling beside the little monk.

I quickly got up and hid in a corner. After a gust of wind, a strand of hair like aquatic grass wrapped around Yu Nian's calf.

I was about to tell her to be careful, but she showed her bone umbrella, and with a stroke of the umbrella, it cut through the shackles of her hair and jumped away with ease.

In an instant, the owner of the hair appeared, and saw that the back was exactly the same as the woman who was riding on the abbot that day.

The whole body was dripping with water, and the ground was not likely to be wet.

The water ghost's voice was shrill and said, "Give me back the lantern!" ”

The corners of Yu Nian's mouth were hooked, as if it was his purpose to lure this water ghost to appear. Gently picked the lantern in his hand, and said to the water ghost, "You have been wandering in the world for decades, and your resentment will not disappear." What is the purpose of storing all the essence absorbed in this lantern? ”

"I have been harmed by others, and I have already sworn that I will not take revenge on this revenge and never be reincarnated."

Yu Nian pulled the umbrella open, showing the trend of collecting the umbrella, "The cycle of life and death has its own destiny, and the person who harms you has his own destiny." You have caused this natural disaster because of your own resentment, and you have suffered countless deaths and injuries, and you have become an unforgivable sin, and now you are going to make mistakes again and again? ”

The water ghost suddenly let out a shriek, "Hahahaha, the number of heavenly fates?" Why didn't the whole village collect it when they burned my family, and why didn't people like you come forward to meddle when they pushed me into the well? I don't want to be reincarnated, I want everyone to be buried for me! ”

At this point, I also heard the true identity of this water ghost, who was actually stoned to death in the well back then. The soul of the old emperor.

Yu Nian was also silent for a long time, but he did not back down in the slightest.

Raising his hand, he slammed the goosebump lantern to the ground, shattering the lampshade and spilling oil all over the floor. The flames on the wick climbed quickly, and the fire spread.

The old queen's eyes widened, and she raised her head and roared, her voice was poignant and deafening.

Then I stretched out my hands full of long nails and grabbed Yu Nian, and I quickly got up from the ground to protect Yu Nian. Yu Nian turned over and jumped up, only said a rolling word, and I honestly squatted in the corner again, hugging my thin self in distress.

It can be seen from the two battles that although the old queen has decades of skills, she is not Yu Nian's opponent at all.

The bone umbrella seemed to be one with her, so that the old emperor had no chance at all.

Finally, Yu Nian opened the umbrella, and a burst of red light lit up.

Yu Nian only said lightly, "You just have to go with confidence, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

The old queen was willing to bow to the wind, shouted sadly, and was included in the umbrella by Yu Nian.

Finally, the bone umbrella fell from mid-air, the umbrella blades closed, and Yu Nian retracted the cuffs.

I watched all this in a daze, not knowing how to react.

Yu Nian didn't wait for me to react, he directly picked up my hand, cut his nails, and took a drop of blood and dripped it on the handle of the umbrella.

The droplets of blood quickly fuse with the umbrella handle until they disappear.

"That's all I do?"

"The soul of the old emperor is to the yin, and after entering the umbrella, it must be sealed by yang blood."

She explained simply, and I knew the purpose of my trip.

As she spoke, she walked up to the little monk and whispered, "My name is Yu Nian." ”

After speaking, the knife fell in his hand, ending the life of the little monk.
