163. Curse
If it's on flat ground, this might be a little unbelievable, like the dungeon under Bryn. But it's in the mountains, and I think it's very likely. Because of the special nature of the mountain, there are usually caves in the belly of the mountain, and in addition to natural caves, people from ancient times to the present day have preferred to dig caves for use.
Cen Xi had already finished dialing, turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and shouted Xiaoyou's name intermittently as he walked. But suddenly, her voice stopped abruptly, and I glanced at Qin Zhou, and hurriedly walked towards the light.
Just as she was going around the stone pillar, she saw Gu Xi standing behind the thickest stone pillar with her, and Gu Xi seemed to be twisting something in his hands. Cen Xi's eyes sank and said, "It's Xiaoyou's earrings." ”
Gu Xi handed her the earrings, turned his eyes to the stone pillar, and at the moment when he was about to stretch out his hand, he heard Cen Xi shout urgently: "Don't touch it!" ”
Qin Zhou picked up the words at the right time and asked, "It's time for us not to touch it?" Do you want to save your sister? ”
Cen Xi looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, and Gu Xi ignored her and pressed her hand directly on the stone pillar. I don't know if it's my delusion, Cen Xi's face turned slightly pale at that moment. At this time, Qin Zhou stepped forward and reminded Gu Xi: "Ah Xi, will this stone ring be weird?" ”
Unexpectedly, Cen Xi suddenly took a step forward, blocked the stone man with his body, and said firmly: "Don't touch these stones again, Xiaoyou, I'll find a way to save it again." ”
Gu Xi grinned, but there was a coldness between his eyebrows, "Don't you want to tell the truth at this time?" ”
Cen Xi's eyes shrank and turned his head, and Gu Xi made another fierce prediction: "Okay, if it really doesn't matter, I don't mind going down the mountain and waiting, don't call me when you collect the body later, I'm not that interested." ”
When he said the word "collect the corpse", Cen Xi's obvious body trembled slightly. At last she turned her eyes back to him, as if determined, "Well, I'll tell you. The owner of the farm made it clear that we could go up the mountain to visit, but we should never touch the stones on the mountain, and he said that these stones were cursed, and these faces were automatically printed by those who had been cursed after death. To put it so mysteriously, we promised in our hearts but did not believe it, and we went up the mountain at dawn after a night, and the person I brought in the middle inadvertently touched the face of a certain pillar and the stone ring on the mouth, and suddenly ran down the mountain as if he had gone crazy, but he did not go down the road we walked back, but between the stone paths. Until you came, the man did not come back. ”
Curse? I gazed at the huge human face, how could this be that people were automatically imprinted after death? It's clearly built with different stones.
Just like Gu Shanmeigu's blindness that my mother once listened to, I don't really believe in the chaos of ghosts and gods, and I don't think that an unwarranted curse can have so much power to make people crazy. But Cen Xi said that the owner of the village told her like this, and there are clear examples in front of her, which seems to force people to think that it is difficult not to believe it.
Gu Xi said something that I thought in the same way: "I don't believe in the evil of chaos. After saying that, he reached out and grabbed the stone ring, and my heart instantly tightened, and my eyes stared at him without blinking. Qin Zhou hinted at me just now, and I said that Xiao You and He Zhixu fell because they pulled the stone ring, and after experiencing the underground siege, I would think that this was probably a kind of mechanism. Now Gu Xi did not hesitate to pull the stone ring again, and in Cen Xi's low shout of "don't", nothing happened to him standing still, and after waiting for a while, there was no strange phenomenon.
At this time, Qin Zhou and I looked at each other, and we both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
And Cen Xi seemed to be stunned by Gu Xi's actions, and he looked at him and opened his mouth slightly. On the contrary, he was the calmest, and after pulling through the stone ring without moving, he tried to rotate the stone ring, but it seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't rotate, and he tried to advance again, but there was still no change. In the end, he let go of his hand and gave up the stone ring, and glanced at Cen Xi, who was still standing in front of him, "Stand to the side." ”
Cen Xi came back to his senses and immediately took a step to the right, giving up his position in front of the stone pillar. She was suspicious in her eyes, and she couldn't tell why Gu Xi was so fine. And Gu Xi glanced back at Qin Zhou, "Come over and help inspect together." ”
Qin Zhou nodded, but said to Cen Xi first: "You two women should step back a little, in case the curse makes us crazy or something, it's not good to hurt the woman." ”
The corners of my mouth twitched as I listened, and this man would have seized the opportunity to be sarcastic.
Cen Xi didn't move his eyebrows, turned around and walked towards me, but stopped half a meter away from me. At this time, we were about three meters away from the stone pillar, and when I saw Qin Zhou and Gu Xi standing side by side with their tall backs, I immediately understood the real motive of Qin Zhou's sarcastic words.
The two of them wanted to find an opportunity to communicate privately, and it was under Cen Xi's nose.
Thinking of this, I took a step closer to Cen Xi's side, and when she looked at her, she took the initiative to speak for the first time: "Does the owner of the village specifically say the cause of the curse?" She shook her head, and her eyes fixed on Gu Xi's back, thinking that she disdained to talk to me, but suddenly asked softly in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Do you believe in the curse?" ”
I measured it in my heart and replied, "There are many unknowns in this world that exist outside of people's senses, and they usually have to be met to get historical evidence." Cen Xi chuckled, "That's not believing." ”
Truly. I have no intention of flattering her with incendiary language on this, believing is believing, and not believing is not believing.
After a few seconds of pause, she suddenly said, "I don't believe it either." I was stunned for a moment, and I was suspicious when I heard her ask, "Then do you believe in fate?" By this time she had turned her head to look at me, and there was no tenderness in her eyes, only a meaningful meaning.
At first, I was wondering what she meant by her last question, but suddenly I felt that the point was not fatalism, but that she said... If you don't believe in the curse, is the story she told and the winceing expression true or false? I always feel that something is about to break out of the cocoon, but there is a layer on it, and I can't figure it out.
His eyes wandered and glanced at Gu Xi and Qin Zhou, and then looked back at Cen Xi, and suddenly his heart was stunned.
Subconsciously, he also instinctively opened his mouth and called: "Gu Xi." ”
He turned his head when he heard the sound, his gaze met with me in the air, and in my peripheral vision, I saw Cen Xi move a step to the left imperceptibly, and then in the next moment, Gu Xi moved, and his body pounced on my left side like electricity.
There was a dull crashing sound, and Cen Xi was pinched by Gu Xi's throat and pressed against the stone pillar closest to her.
The situation on the field suddenly changed. Finally, in my silence, Gu Xi understood what I meant by calling him, but he also stared in amazement at the black hole in front of the largest human-faced stone pillar, which swallowed Qin Zhou in an instant, and he couldn't hear any cries for help from Qin Zhou below, and the hole actually slowly ...... Heal.
Yes, the black hole was not a slab of stone that moved in any direction, as if the ground had suddenly exploded, and the man was so small that he could not resist before he could be swallowed, and then healed from the periphery to the middle like a wound, until it became as it had just been.
Gu Xi glanced at that place gloomily, and when he turned around, there was fierceness in his eyes: "What do you say?" ”
Cen Xi was not surprised at all by him, his quiet eyes stared at him tightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Ah Xi, this seems to be the closest we have ever gotten close." ”
Gu Xi's breath was cold, and he asked indifferently: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”
Cen Xi shook his head with a smile: "You won't kill me." The tone was affirmative, she had lost the gains and losses just now, and her demeanor became calm, she said: "I never thought of pulling you into the game, but you calculate me first." Ah Xi, our Cen family is not something that some people can use if they want to, and they can get rid of it if they want to. ”
After these words came out, Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it?" That's what you brought me on purpose? ”
"Did I really bring you here?" Cen Xi asked with a smile.
As soon as I heard this, how did I feel that she seemed to be able to break the Gu Xi set up a situation to lure her into the urn, and then plot against us in turn.
Immediately afterwards, Cen Xi said: "Besides, if I hadn't intentionally transferred people away last night, do you think you two would have been able to get in here?" At this point, Gu Xi finally smiled: "Interesting." Cen girl, since we have talked about this, then let's all open the skylight and say something bright, what is under this? ”
"Since you want to know, why didn't you go down with Qin Zhou just now?"
Cen Xi was cunning and threw the question back to Gu Xi, apparently not going to tell us how to open the mechanism.
Being able to cause the ground to change into a hole in an instant is naturally the result of the triggering of the mechanism, and it has nothing to do with the so-called curse. Gu Xi smiled sarcastically at the corner of his mouth, looked back at me, and I nodded and approached him.
After he removed Cen Xi from the pillar, I used my phone to illuminate the pillar, ignoring the two glances from my side and focusing on the face of the person in front of me. After a while, I compared my right eye with my hand.
In the afterglow, Cen Xi's complexion changed, and she began to look at me with a suspicious gaze. Gu Xi himself may not have really wanted to move her, but then he let go of his hand and pressed it to my side without hesitation, pressing it towards the right eye without hesitation.
