Old man
The old man put his eyes open, as if he recalled some long past events, which were still vivid in front of him, and after a long time, he said slowly:
"How long has it been, about twenty-five years ago, there was a new career of a scholar to enter the capital as an official, passing through the suburbs of Jinzhou, encountered robbers were robbed of gold and silver, and that was the scholar and the robber was seriously injured when fighting, the robber was trying to kill him life, coincidentally, there was a caravan of the Qiluo tribe passing by, kindly rescued him, the scholar was seriously injured and unconscious, the Qiluo people were born to be kind and charitable, and took him back for treatment, the Qiluo tribe has always not allowed outsiders to enter, but they couldn't bear to see him die in vain, so the patriarch made an exception to leave him here for treatment, The scholar inadvertently learned from the merchant the secret of the Kira tribe, the doctrine of eternal life. When he returned from his wounds, the merchant begged him not to leak the matter, and the scholar promised to leave, but who knew that this man had a sinister heart, and soon after the scholar entered Beijing as an official, he leaked this secret, but I don't know how many disasters this secret will bring? ”
Hearing this, Bai Hanyan was also angry, but he didn't know how much disaster that person's words would cause to others?
The old man was full of sadness, and continued: "A year later, the merchant went out to do business with a group of Qiluo people, and was secretly targeted by sinister people, and at night, the original robber, who had become the county commander of Bianshui City, and a high-ranking official from the capital, arrested all the unarmed merchants, imprisoned them in a remote cave, and kept whipping and torture them every day, ordering them to tell this secret, if not, those two people had a way to torture this group of merchants, for a while, They live a life where they can't survive, they can't die. ”
The old man paused slightly, and Bai Hanyan saw a different kind of emotion floating in his eyes, which made his breathing short, and he gasped for a while before he slowly calmed down.
Bai Hanyan observed him quietly, and asked in a deep voice, "Then what happened later, what was the result of that group of merchants?" But someone rescued them? ”
The old man looked at the void and closed his gaze, came back and turned his eyes to look at Bai Hanyan and chuckled, with a hint of ridicule in his voice: "Girl, there are too many unfair things in this world, there are a few people who can be like the good luck of the scholar who entered Beijing to be an official, although these people are ordinary businessmen, but they are all iron-clad, they would rather die than give in, no matter how they torture, they refuse to reveal the secrets of the clan, the high-ranking official is angry, in a fit of anger, put a fire in the cave, Burning all the merchants alive was extremely cruel. ”
Bai Hanyan's heart trembled when she heard this, and a wave of anger made her blood all over her body heat slightly, until her limbs were hundred, which and the ending were expected, driven by people's greed.
There were tears in his cloudy eyes, and there seemed to be a repetition of the shocking fire in front of him, and his voice was full of sorrow: "The fire in the cave burned for a long time, and the miserable screams of the Qiluo people in it were incessant, and finally turned into a curse, which was the blood curse of their hatred before they died, and they said that even if their souls did not disperse after death, they would not let the two of them go, and even this man in the city was poisoned because of the fault of the two of them, and no one would be spared!" ”
The scorching spring sun outside is warm and pleasant, but in the low house separated by only one wall, it makes people feel like autumn frost and a slight chill. At this moment, the old man stared at her undisguised eyes, his eyes were cold, and he raised his legs like a man-eating beast, approaching her step by step.
Bai Hanyan's eyes narrowed slightly, his steps retreated little by little, and the old man's vicious eyes kept staring at her feet, and he stopped.
Bai Hanyan stared at him for a moment, and the old man chuckled mockingly on his face, and said, "What, are you scared now?" ”
Bai Hanyan ignored his taunts, his slightly sharp eyes fell on the face of the old man, and asked in a deep voice: "So that day, next to the corpse of the person who was frozen to death, you only talked about the soul of the Huiqiluo clan, just to cause panic?" ”
The old man didn't seem to disdain to disguise, and his shriveled face had a grim smile, like a poppy that wanted to kill him in the daylight, strange and evil: "Yes, I want the whole people of Bianshui City to be in fear all day long, and I am afraid that he will be the next person to die!" ”
"Are you a survivor of the original group of merchants?" Bai Hanyan asked a question this time, frowning and speculating.
"Yes! I live for today's revenge! The old man's voice was so low that it came over.
Bai Hanyan furrowed his eyebrows suddenly, and couldn't help but be a little strange, since there was no way to escape from the cave, how did he escape, and he didn't mention the matter of Qiluo Hua at all, the most important thing is that he had already killed many people, and he was only one step away from the opening of the altar, why did he admit all this so frankly?
The old servant seemed to see through her thoughts, raised his head and said sadly: "My life is short, and the altar may not be opened, but I want to take revenge before I die, and take revenge on this group of sinister people!" ”
"If you want revenge, why don't you go to your enemies, and what does it have to do with these innocent people, who don't even know about it!" Bai Hanyan scolded angrily, and the phoenix eyes looked at him sharply, and a trace of doubt crossed his heart.
If the old man is a murderer, then why he has lived for more than 20 years, why he doesn't seek revenge, and wants to take revenge on innocent people when he is dying, this can't be explained.
"You don't need to question me, I killed everyone, and I have to kill a lot of people!" The old man made his eyes as cloudy as a poisonous snake, gloomy and compassionate, with bloodthirsty fierceness, Bai Hanyan suddenly felt his heart tremble, and said: "What are you going to do, it has been over for so many years, why do you want to repeat that tragic thing again!" ”
"End ......" The old man's eyes were empty, inexplicably a little sluggish, and he muttered: "I hope this is the end...... Instead of starting. ”
"What!"
Bai Hanyan was surprised by the meaning of his words, but saw the old man suddenly raise his head and smile weirdly at her, a strange expression appeared on his face, and that smile made Bai Hanyan's scalp tingle for a while, and his face was as pale as moonlight.
At the same time, Bai Hanyan suddenly realized that there was an emptiness under her feet, and it turned out that the work had actually opened the machine, and a black and dark opening suddenly cracked under her feet!
Bai Hanyan only felt the roar and vibration in her ears, she didn't have time to react, her eyes were flowering, her body fell into the darkness in an instant, Bai Hanyan's pupils suddenly contracted, she felt as if she was constantly falling, and she couldn't catch anything that could be cling, just ...... she kept falling, however, the only light on her head was slowly closed, and suddenly, her body was pitch black.
Her back slammed on the ground, the pain made Bai Hanyan feel dizzy, there was no other sound in her ears except for her breathing, she scolded resentfully, this old man actually calculated that she would come to look for him, and he actually prepared such a trap in advance, waiting for her.
Ignoring the pain in her body, Bai Hanyan stood up in the dark, groped around, walked about a zhang away is the cold stone wall, she walked along the stone wall all the way, walked ten steps and was blocked by a wall, she groped to the side, about ten steps away was also blocked by the cold stone wall, so she measured it, and knew in her heart that this place was actually a stone cave that was only one zhang long and cramped.
After a long time, Bai Hanyan gradually got used to the darkness in front of her, and she could see the blurred outline of her surroundings clearly.
Bai Hanyan was overjoyed, kicked his feet on the stone wall, and wanted to break open the lid with his strength, but the surface of the stone wall was smooth, and it was dark and damp, which could not support her weight at all. ”
The man's erratic voice fell firmly in Bai Hanyan's ears, her eyebrows and eyes in the dark showed a hint of joy, the voice was very familiar to her, and she shouted loudly at the smooth stone wall in front of her: "Yang Zhutou, is it you?" ”
As soon as Bai Hanyan's words fell, a word was heard in the stone cave for a long time, and the surroundings fell into a dead silence, Bai Hanyan's star-like eyes were slightly heavy, she raised her willow eyebrows and pondered, as if the male voice just now seemed to be an auditory hallucination in her hallucination.
"It's me!" After a long time, Yang Zhao's faint voice came from the side of the stone wall, and Bai Hanyan asked in surprise: "Yang Zhutou, where are you?" ”
Yang Zhao sighed lowly, but did not answer her, and said in a low voice: "White girl, you are still here!" ”
His words made Bai Hanyan's heart pass through a touch of surprise, his words were so strange, it seemed that he was sure that she would come here, just like the old man.
"White girl, it's too dangerous here, and I accidentally planted it in the trap of the old man, but I didn't expect that the murderer was him! In the darkness, Yang Zhao's obscure voice came again.
Bai Hanyun's deep eyes crossed a glint, although the old man admitted everything, she was also very suspicious, but she always felt that there were some places, which were still very strange.
"White girl, why don't you speak? Is it hurt? Yang Zhao saw that she was silent for a long time, and hurriedly asked with concern.
Bai Hanyan immediately came back to his senses, stretched out his arm and touched the black wall, and asked loudly again, "Yang Zhutou, where are you locked up?" ”
Yang Zhao paused and said, "I don't know where this place is, it's dark in front of me, I can't see, I just feel that your voice can come over, it should be very close." ”
His words instantly woke up Bai Hanyan, the stone wall should be tightly sealed, how could the sound be transmitted?
Bai Hanyan immediately exclaimed: "Yang Zhutou, you are going to grope around, there should be a secret door here!" ”
