Chapter 101: Cannes, the Empty Nest City (3)
There was a sound of eagles and dogs scratching and fluttering on the wall outside, Nie Xiaosheng didn't have time to wake up the tangling dance, he picked up the tangling dance and walked inside, walked through the corridor, there was a hall inside, the walls of the hall were pasted with many fluorescent gems, reflecting the faint light and looking in, the hall was not very big, there were jars placed under several rectangular stone tables, the mouth of the jars was already covered with cobwebs, and there was dust all around.
Nie Xiaosheng looked at the jars a little strangely, and said, "I seem to have seen these jars there, and they are a little familiar!" ”
Tangwu lay on Nie Xiaosheng's shoulder, snorted twice, touched his forehead and woke up, "Where is this?" ”
Nie Xiaosheng took two steps towards the pile of jars and said, "I don't know, but how do I see that the patterns on these jars are somewhat familiar?" ”
These jars are neither big nor small, about the same size as the jar of pickled pickles in the cellar, the jar has a woman's head painted on it, but the body is a terrifying spider, Nie Xiaosheng leaned forward and saw that the jar was filled with a layer of green water with a layer of oil foam, and the bulging inside didn't know what it was, Nie Xiaosheng looked disgusted, hurriedly retreated, and said: "What is this, it stinks!" ”
Tang Wu touched his forehead, feeling a little headache, but it was fine, and when he saw a small door on the other side of the hall, he said, "Don't look at it, let's go quickly!" ”
Nie Xiaosheng said: "I always feel that we have strayed into something that we shouldn't enter, I really want to see this jar somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while." ”
The barking of dogs outside had rushed in, and more than a dozen eagle dogs squeezed into the hall from the narrow corridor, and heard someone outside: "Sure enough, isn't it here?" The two of you can't escape, come back with me, I beg the Empress to intercede, maybe she can spare your life!" ”
Scar-faced ugly servants walked into the hall surrounded by eagle dogs, these eagle dogs listened to him very much, and they were in a mess after pouring into the hall, and when they saw the ugly servants coming, they all sat on the ground obediently, but a few of them were not very obedient in the corner, and the dogs stuck their heads into the jars, not knowing what they were gnawing on.
The ugly servant first glanced around the room, and found that there was no one, and then saw the dogs sticking their heads into the jars, chirping, as if they were eating very well, and stepped forward and kicked a few feet, and scolded: "Beasts, what are you raising for, and what are you eating dogs?" ”
Those dogs were originally domesticated and obedient, but now they seemed to be enchanted, and the ugly servant kicked those dogs against the wall in anger, and wailed a few times, but saw that the faces of those dogs had rotted, and their white eyes were oozing green juice and rolling to the ground, it turned out that it was not the dogs eating, but the things in the jars eating the dogs' heads!
The ugly servant was so frightened that the scars on his face twisted together, and he saw a strand of black hair on the edge of the jar, which seemed to be growing, and the ugly servant looked into the jar, and there was a very ugly woman's head in the jar!
The ugly servant felt sick for a while, he had seen countless long demons and monster animals, but he had never seen such a thing, and then the two squads behind him also followed, and the ugly servant said: "Why are you too slow, you know how to drag me back!" ”
The captain said: "I can't help it, ugly servant, these eagles and dogs only listen to you, and we can't control them." ”
After the captain finished speaking, he glanced behind the ugly servant, then covered his mouth and asked, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”
The ugly servant pointed to the door on the side and said, "Don't ask so much, these dogs are already useless, you guys will continue to chase me forward." ”
The small queue chased inside in two rows, and the ugly servant muttered in his heart, saying: I don't know what kind of place this is, it's very weird, it's better to let them open the way in front.
The hair in the jar had grown all over the corner in a moment, and the ugly servant took out a bark-like thing and said, "This fire lion skin will be consumed here, see if it can burn you." ”
The ugly servant threw the lion skin into the bush of hair, and a fire burst into flames, but the hair did not seem to burn in the flames, but shrank back into the jar like an anemone.
Nie Xiaosheng and Tangwu continued to flee forward, the Yongdao was going straight without turning, and a little firelight could be seen at the end of the dark Yongdao behind them, and the ugly servants chased them very closely.
Not long ago, there was another hall, this one was similar to the previous one, it was the same wall and the same mural carving, but this one was much larger, and there was no jar with a woman's head and spider body painted in the corner, and there was a stone pier more than two meters high in the center of the room, and the stone pier seemed to be a sarcophagus.
It is said that it is more than two meters high, but in fact, it is a trapezoidal step stacked up, and when people walk to the top of the steps, the sarcophagus only reaches the waist of the person, Nie Xiaosheng knows that what is hidden in this sarcophagus must not be a good thing, but if you want to pass through this hall, you must walk in front of the sarcophagus, because the passages on both sides of the hall are set diagonally.
It's like a museum exhibit, but the scary thing is that these exhibits can still move no matter how long they are on display, and I don't know what kind of horror things are contained in this heavy sarcophagus, but a corpse is certain.
Nie Xiaosheng suddenly remembered that he had seen a group of magic tricksters in an ancient market, and one of them used such a jar, the old man often coaxed some tourists who led their livestock to the market to catch the market, claiming that he could put their livestock into this jar the size of a bowl, the old man's actions often attracted the laughter of the people around him, and then the old man would boast: "If I can put these domestic animals of yours into this small jar, you all applaud and congratulate me, and reward me with some small money, if I can't fit it." I'll give you double the amount of money your livestock is worth, but once it's loaded, your livestock, whether it's cats, dogs, bears, or yaks, can't ask me to go back. ”
Such a big jar is obvious, not even a puppy can hold it, let alone cattle and sheep, a few people with thick eyes want to try, the result of the lamb's mouth has just been submerged in the jar, the whole was swallowed by the jar, the old man shook the jar, not even a single wool can be found in it.
Later, after the end of the show, Nie Xiaosheng curiously came to the old man to ask him, the old man joked, saying that there was a spider lady living in this jar, and she had a big appetite, Nie Xiaosheng thought it was a joke to tease children, and later heard the elders say that they are wizards from the deep mountains and forests, and the things in those jars are all demons and evil spirits, and the flesh of the livestock will be corroded by the acid water in the jar, and those people use it to deceive people.
Recalling this, Nie Xiaosheng felt afraid, you must know that this is in Kangcheng, which can also be said to be the underground warehouse of the ancient empire, and the things transported by all parties can be stored in it.
