Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Headless Statue
Tang Yun rode his horse all the way, and the soldiers of the Demon Catching Division behind him also followed.
When he found out that a demonic aura appeared from the south of the Divine Capital, he always knew the purpose of this Northern Wilderness person.
The attack that took place in Fengluan Pavilion made everyone subconsciously believe that the purpose of these people was to kill King Yan. Even Tang Yun thought so at first, but he forgot the demonic aura that he had once found in the Divine Capital City.
Now, the ring on Tang Yun's hand bloomed with a strange red light, and the ring began to buzz and tremble wildly.
Tang Yun's heart was extremely anxious, and when he looked at the past, all the houses were shrouded in darkness.
This place is very familiar, and it turned out to be Wutong Street in Chongrangfang. The red light pointed to his mansion here.
Tang Yun did not have a family, and usually ate and lived in the Yamen of the Demon Hunting Division, so although the mansion here was large, it was temporarily deserted.
Tang Yun suddenly remembered the figure he found in the ambush in the mansion that day.
It was supposed to be a youkai, but unfortunately, it didn't catch him. Normally, there is no one in this mansion, so what are the monsters doing here?
Later, many things happened, and Tang Yun gradually forgot about them.
The horse's hooves suddenly leaned back and neighed.
The horse, unwilling to enter Sycamore Street, as if something dangerous was waiting for him in the endless mist.
"Your Excellency!" Several Monster Hunter soldiers rushed over.
"Send a message to Yamenli and Jin Wuwei and ask them to send troops to support. Block the streets, you guys, and don't let that monster escape again! ”
Tang Yunfei dismounted, and there were two soldiers following him.
The fog in Wutong Fang was still the same, just like when Tang Yun first came here.
The ring suddenly stopped trembling, and it couldn't catch the demonic presence.
Tang Yun waved his hand to the two soldiers and asked them to go to the backyard to find them, while he came to the garden on the side of the house by himself. In the dark night, the sound of running water is crisp in the ears.
The rockery in the garden is gone.
The mound above the stream is covered with lonely green bamboos, which are out of place with the surrounding scenery.
In the place where the rockery was originally placed, a bottomless pit appeared, and there seemed to be a burst of black gas floating around it. There was a strange smell wafting up from below, it should be blood.
Tang Yun took out a torch from the lamp on the side of the wall and lit it with a fire breaker.
Tang Yun jumped from the top of the pothole, and at the same time pulled out the knife, and the blade slashed at the edge of the stone wall, with the help of this force to relieve the downward momentum. Fortunately, the pit is not very deep, and it can only be passed by one person.
It was cold here, and a gloomy wind blew out of the darkness in front of me.
The light of the torches illuminated the road ahead, first with a strange face peeking out of the darkness, and then on closer inspection, it was a bronze mask with the mottled marks characteristic of bronze.
This face is very familiar.
Tang Yun suddenly stretched out his hand, and the ring was exactly the same as this face!
This ring was taken off from Helian Lezhang when Tang Yun led people to sneak attack the Northern Wilderness military camp. During this period, he also pondered the origin of this ring, but he searched through the ancient books, but never found the slightest clue.
Behind the door, what's it?
Tang Yun put his hand on the bronze door and pushed it forward, the door was very strong, and the cracks between the doors were tightly closed, making it difficult to open from the outside. Tang Yun gritted his teeth, took a few steps back, and then slammed forward.
Boom!
The door was knocked open by a gap, and Tang Yun pushed forward a few more times, finally opening the door.
Squeak –
This door seems to have been sealed for a long time, and it is still a little laborious to push the door. But when it was opened, it was much easier.
The door was pushed open, and the smell of blood intensified. If you were someone else, I'm afraid it would be difficult to withstand the smell of this.
Poof!
The torch in Tang Yun's hand was extinguished, the wind gusted, and Tang Yun tried to light the fire several times, but all of them failed.
I didn't expect there to be anything else here, from the outside, this should be on the edge of the stream. When you first enter this hole, it is not very big, and if you want to enter it, you have to crouch down, and after entering, there is a wide passage.
I can't see my fingers.
The most sensible thing to do now is to withdraw and wait until dawn to send a large number of men in.
This is the safest way to do so.
But subconsciously, Tang Yun told himself that there should be a big fish here.
If he misses it tonight, he'll run away!
When people are in the dark, they instinctively feel fear. The most intuitive way for people to perceive things is to see with their eyes, but darkness blocks people's sight.
It was useless to panic, Tang Yun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. The tiger's head knife was already unsheathed, and it was against his arm.
Tang Yun had to pause every step he took to listen to the nearby voices.
Footsteps can overshadow the sounds that are audibly captured.
It's just that it's silent, like a dead silence.
Could it be that the other party has already fled?
There seemed to be something underfoot, some of which looked like gravel on the side of the road, uneven. Tang Yun avoided these gravels and slowly approached, and finally saw a faint glimmer in the distance.
Click!
Something suddenly sounded, and it was between the lightning and flint that a gust of wind blew behind Tang Yun and hit him.
Tang Yun had already heard the sound approaching, and the knife in his hand swung in the direction where the sound came from.
Clang!
The tiger head knife seemed to have landed on something solid, making the sound of gold and stone striking each other.
Seeing that the blow was missed, the shadow quickly fell to the top of the stone wall passage, and kicked back and forth with both feet, only to hear the sound of a thump from above, and then disappeared.
The black shadow was running fast, but Tang Yun already knew the direction he was leaving.
You chase after me, and the light in front of you becomes clearer and clearer.
A ray of moonlight fell from above, silently hitting a well. In this pitch-black surrounding, this piece of light suddenly appeared, and it was very obvious.
It is a circular clearing with a well in the center, and everything in front of it is illuminated by the moonlight.
The wellhead is blocked.
A headless idol sits above the mouth of the well, and the idol has several arms, spread out like a peacock opening a screen. The whole statue was actually made of jade, and the whole statue was very large, and the moonlight sprinkled on it, shining with a strange light.
The idol was entwined with numerous iron chains and fastened to the top of the well.
On one of the idol's hands, a dark shadow squatted.
It was it, it attacked Tang Yun just now.
No one thought that there would be such a place under this house.
When the courtyard was built, Yang Yi, the official of Xia, specially invited a master from Jiangnan Province to build it, but unfortunately the garden was just repaired, and there were many strange things in the house.
First, the livestock died for no reason, and then some of the family members who kept vigil also died tragically for no reason. Coupled with the more and more evil rumors in this neighborhood, Yang Yi finally gave up the house.
The headless statue seems peaceful, but this situation and this scene make people's hearts permeate.
The dark shadow jumped down, spat something out of its mouth, and rolled to the ground.
It's a broken palm.
A streak of blood rolled on the ground.
