After listening to Yun Ye tell the origin of this golden mask, I couldn't help but smile. picked up the Xiangfei bamboo fan in his hand and opened the fan: "Master Yun, there is something to say." When you make this out, I'm sitting here like I'm on the wrong set. It's the 21st century, and there aren't so many demons and monsters anymore. ”

Yun Ye was stunned when he heard what I said, and looked at Professor Sun, and saw that Professor Sun also had a questioning face, and he didn't believe the story told by Yun Ye.

"Master Yun, if you want me to listen to your story, the only thing that convinces me is that I have heard of this Gu worm mask."

After hearing this, we all looked at Professor Sun, and saw Professor Sun holding the golden mask and fiddling with it and saying, "Everyone, do you know about the idiot Gu? ”

I was confused, so I saw that Master Yun nodded, looked at Professor Sun knowingly, and the two looked at each other and smiled. I couldn't sit still: "Hey, hey, if you're okay, I'll go back." I'm going to have a lawsuit about what you're talking about. ”

Yun Ye saw that I was a little impatient, and hurriedly laughed: "This idiot Gu is what we just talked about, the ancient people used a strange insect in the mountains. It is a Gu technique that fixes the head of the worm to the mouth of the mask, extends the tail into the mouth of the Gu person, uses the host as a nest, and allows the larvae to gnaw on the host's muscles and visceral nerves to control the host's brain. ”

I sighed: "Master Yun, you said that it has nothing to do with me for a long time. If nothing else, I'll go back. As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and prepared to leave with Mengya.

"Master Qiu, don't worry. Of course I have something to trouble you. ”

I smiled: "I have something to say, but I don't necessarily promise you after you finish speaking." Don't tell me stories, I'm not confused. ”

Before Yun Ye could speak, Professor Sun on the side said, "Qiu Tong, speaking of which, we are not outsiders. You know what we're up to, so take a closer look at the golden mask. ”

As soon as I heard him, I picked up the golden mask on the table. I looked back and forth, left and right, and I gasped at this sight. On the back of the mask were engraved a few strange lines of text, but I didn't know what they meant.

"What kind of text is this? I can't read a word. ”

Professor Sun pretended to smile mysteriously: "I won't tell you, I think this may be Khitan script." It may also be the writing of Western Xia or Eastern Xia. Paspawen may not be able to tell. ”

I almost slapped him in the face when I heard him finish speaking, and said in my heart, you, a famous lecturer in the Department of Archaeology of Peking University, really don't know how to be. sighed and said to Yun Ye: "Yun Ye, you don't know how I know. I can't help with that. ”

Yun Ye smiled: "Master Qiu, just because you don't know doesn't mean that your master doesn't know." The old man is well-informed, and may know what the words behind this mask mean. ”

I let the old guy know what he meant as soon as he said it, and I wanted to ask my master to help them see the meaning of the words under this mask. I smiled: "It's such a big circle, it's haunted and dead." I co-authored it just to ask my master to show you the words under this mask. ”

Yun Ye lit a cigarette and smiled at me with a forced smile: "I can guarantee that what I said earlier is true." You and I haven't known each other for a day or two, and you know who I am, and I won't joke with my brother's life. ”

I nodded: "Master Yun, do you know Ren Tai'an from Liuli Factory?" ”

Yun Ye was stunned for a moment, and for a long time he seemed to suddenly realize: "Oops, how did I forget him." Ren Tai'an, an old guy, specializes in studying all kinds of ancient characters, and he translated the two oracle bones of the Shoubo and the National Museum. ”

I nodded: "My master is not a professional in ancient writing, so I don't think there will be any correct answer if I take it over." Ren Tai'an bought a Gandhara in a foreign country last year and let the customs detain it, if I hadn't dredged it for him, he would have to squat for ten or eight years. This old guy owes me a favor yet, and tomorrow I'll follow you to ask him, this old thing must know what it means. ”

I thought to myself, although Master often tells me to stay away from Yun Ye and his gang, these gang of sand thieves are ruthless and unscrupulous for the sake of profit. If I take them to Master's place, the first Master will definitely be angry, and the second Master will definitely not tell them the truth. If it's good, you have to fight, why make it so unpleasant. I can't push this matter away, so it's better to blame this mess on the old guy Ren Tai'an, and it's also a matter of effort for him.

Mengya and I sat for a while and then said goodbye to Yun Ye and Professor Sun, and scheduled to go to Liulichang tomorrow morning to find Ren Tai'an. Mengya turned on my Cadillac SUV with the car keys and I sat in the passenger seat.

On the way, I didn't say a word, my mind was full of the stories that Yun Ye told today, from the Chifeng Lao Zhao family to Han Jinming's death, I was confused. I looked at Mengya: "Hey, what do you think about this today?" ”

Meng Ya smiled: "I don't know anything about your industry, I'm just a stall watcher." ”

"Don't say that, I always feel like there's something wrong with this."

Meng Ya said while driving the car: "Well, you're right, I also think something is not right. In short, help Yun Ye and them finish building this bridge with Ren Tai'an, don't worry about it, I always feel that this thing is sticking to a skin, and you have to put your life into it. ”

I nodded, and Monya sent me home and drove home. When I entered the house, I turned on the light, sat in the bedroom, and felt a chill floating on my body inexplicably, and I shivered when I took out my mobile phone and looked at it. remembered that Han Jinming had called Yun Ye so much before he died, and he shivered, and hurriedly turned off his mobile phone.

I lay down on the bed and turned off the light. I couldn't fall asleep when I closed my eyes, and the shadows of the hideous golden mask were all in front of me. As soon as I rolled over, I began to count the sheep: one, two, three...... I fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept, and suddenly, I heard the footsteps of "pop, pop" outside the bedroom, and I was stunned, thinking that I had been living alone, and there should be no one else. Came in without locking the door? No way, my door is an automatic fingerprint lock. The security of this landscape garden is very good, and there has never been a thief. Could it be, could it be a masked ghost? Thinking of this, I was smart, and as soon as I thought of this, I heard the footsteps outside the bedroom getting closer and closer, "Click, click." ”

I rolled over and sat up, and when I looked at it, the blood was cold. I saw a man standing in front of me, dressed in a white garment, which had been stained red with blood, and covered with blood like a bandaged nurse in Silent Hill. In his left hand, he holds a kitchen knife, dripping blood. With the golden mask from Liaotong in Inner Mongolia on his face, he was smiling resentfully at me.

I looked at the masked ghost in front of me, and I couldn't move as if I had been released from the immobilization method. The masked ghost still smiled resentfully, laughed for a long time, and suddenly said a sentence: "You...... You...... Do you want to see me under the mask? ”

I was stunned for a moment, eh, this grandson can still speak human language?

"Who the hell are you?" I shouted loudly.

The masked ghost heard me shout, and the original plain laughter stopped, and suddenly let out a high-pitched howl, and my shocked head buzzed. After seeing the ghost of the mask, he raised the kitchen knife in his hand and gestured at my head. I was so scared that I felt cold.

The masked ghost waved the blood-soaked kitchen knife in his hand a few times, and began to laugh a few times again, and suddenly said another sentence from behind the mask: "I...... Let you ...... Die...... Dead ...... Die to understand. As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, which was bright red with only muscles and bones, and slowly took off the mask.

The mask was slowly removed from his face, and only a beautiful woman's face was revealed after the mask, with silkworm eyebrows and red phoenix eyes. But her beautiful face was stained with blood, her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was very hideous. I looked at it and was scared, and the beautiful woman in front of me was none other than my clerk Mengya.

Meng Ya took the kitchen knife in her hand and licked the blood on the knife with her tongue, her bloodshot eyes full of hatred. I took two steps forward, looked at me and smiled resentfully.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Don't you want to know what's going on? ”

I looked at her strange expression, I was too frightened to speak and confused, and I forced myself to calm down and stammered a sentence: "Mengya, since everything is already like this, you let me die and understand, tell me what all this is about?" ”

After hearing what Meng Ya in front of me said, there was another sneer, and I shivered when I laughed. She looked at me with wide eyes, a very hideous smile on her face, and walked up to me step by step.

It was as if I had been immobilized, and my whole body was numb with fright. At this moment, Mengya, who was covered in blood in front of me, lifted the left and right side of the kitchen knife and slashed at my neck.
