Chapter 121: Vertical coffin

Xiao Yu and Yang Hao watched it together.

My heart was cold, and I didn't dare to move.

They're staring at it, and I'm revealing it when I move.

The long-faced old woman came over with small steps, starting with the leader at the front, and sniffed them one by one.

When she walked up to me, I was already sweating on my body, thinking that if she smelled me, I would immediately use my momentum to question Xiao Yu.

It's already a shame to be recognized by them, and the last aura must be preserved.

The long-faced old woman approached me, sniffed a few times, and immediately covered her nose and frowned and retreated, looked at me with a little disgust, and then pointed to the leader and gestured with Xiao Yu.

Yang Hao immediately stepped forward and lifted the leader's hat and pulled off his mask.

Very ordinary appearance, half of his face was scarred by the fire, and the leader looked at Yang Hao calmly, "What's wrong?" ”

The long-faced old woman gestured at Xiao Yu a few more times.

Yang Hao took out his mobile phone from his pocket and took out my photo to show the leader, "Have you fought with her recently?" ”

The leader shook his head, "No, I don't do anything with women. ”

The long-faced old woman was so anxious that she screamed.

That's when I noticed that her tongue was longer than normal and swollen.

"Don't worry, maybe it's just the same smell, you go back first, I'll send someone to find her." Xiao Yu said patiently.

The long-faced old woman looked disappointed and left with a sigh.

Xiao Yu glanced at Yang Hao.

Yang Hao understood, caught up with the old woman, and helped her leave.

"You have to take someone and look for all the villages around here." Xiao Yu said to the leader.

The leader hummed and led us away.

I didn't dare to look at Xiao Yu more, I kept staring at the person in front of me, and walked like him.

After going out, I was covered in sweat and the cold wind blew, and I shivered unconsciously.

The leader waved us to disperse, and he hurried into the village.

In a few moments, he led a group of men out to the broken village where I had been staying.

I frowned secretly, I also brought someone to find it, why didn't he bring a few of us?

Seeing that the people around me were also walking towards the village, I hurried to follow, and at last followed them along the outer wall of the village to the foot of the hill, where there was a row of low houses, and the chimneys on the roofs were still steaming.

When I went inside, it turned out to be a kitchen.

There was already an old man sitting in front of the stove, pointing to the pot and saying, "The soup is in the pot, and you can serve it yourselves." ”

When I saw the bucket in the corner, I realized that they were going to deliver food to the Taoist priests in the village.

I hurriedly took a bucket, went to the pot to fill the soup, and then followed to deliver the rice.

When they left the old site of the Yu family, these people immediately took a long breath, and the person next to me whispered, "It's really scary in there." ”

Hearing his voice, I raised my eyebrows slightly, and his voice was not hoarse.

I followed in silence and listened to them, and then I realized that there were eight villages here, and two hundred Taoist priests were trapped here.

Moreover, they called those Taoist priests: test subjects.

I didn't feel good at it, and after I was separated from the army, I asked the people with me, "Brother, are you also human?" ”

He glared at me, "Can you speak?" ”

I deliberately said in a rough voice, and said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, isn't it curious, I just came, I don't know the situation yet, I accidentally touched a buddy's hand yesterday, it was very cold, and there was no shadow." ”

"That's a puppet." He said: "They are puppets specially made up by the Tianji Dao Chief, the living dead, and our leader is one of them. ”

"The Taoist is really powerful." I adored and said, "Then why didn't the leader take them into the tomb today?" ”

He pouted and said, "Who knows, they never go to the grave anyway." ”

I talked to him a few more words, and didn't follow him to ask about the village.

I specially observed the terrain and found that the location of the broken village is very interesting, roughly in a circle surrounding the old site of the Yu family, which corresponds to the eight directions in the old site of the Yu family.

After delivering the meal, as soon as I arrived at the door of the old site of the Yu family, I saw a few people walking over with a smile, and Yu Xuan'er was also among them.

But her face was very gloomy.

I was carrying the bucket, and just as I was about to avoid it, a bald male Taoist priest pointed at me and said, "Don't go, come with us to pick someone." ”

I had to hand the bucket to the other people and follow them.

"Yu Xuan'er, where is your little lover?" The bald male Taoist priest asked with a smile.

Before Yu Xuan'er could speak, a woman said with a smile: "It should be building a cemetery for the Maoyin people, or Yu Xuan'er has the courage to fall in love with such a poor boy." ”

The bald Taoist priest said contemptuously: "It's just a joke, it's a fresh picture, what do you say about it or not, with Yu Xuan'er's identity, only Nameless can barely be worthy." ”

My heart jumped, how did it get to Xiao Yu?

Yu Xuan'er glanced at them with a cold face, and those people immediately shut up, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.

Along the way, no one dared to speak.

This time, they went to the broken village that was facing the exchange of positions, and they selected more than a dozen Taoist priests, and asked me to drive them to the old site of the Yu family.

A few people went straight to the dungeon, where there were already people like me waiting, and they very consciously helped them tie up the Taoist priests.

"You, push him into the coffin for me." The bald Taoist priest pointed at me and said.

The Taoist priest standing in front of him puffed, sat directly on the ground, and peed his pants.

I nodded, carried the man into the coffin, and caught a glimpse of the runes on the wall of the coffin, and my heart trembled, and my eyes widened.

This is not a rune that a serious Taoist priest would use at all, but a regenerative soul talisman that would only be used by evil Taoists.

As the name suggests, the cruelty of stripping away the soul of a living person is no different from cutting out your heart without anesthetic.

"What are you doing, hurry up," the bald Taoist priest said coldly.

I came back to my senses and immediately retreated, bending down to withdraw, but I heard Yu Xuan'er say, "Wait, you stay." ”

I looked at her in amazement.

She stood aside with a cold face, "What? Can't understand the words? ”

I shook my head, took a respectful gesture, and stood behind her.

For some reason, in the old site of the Yu family, neither the food distributor nor the overseer spoke.

Standing behind Yu Xuan'er, my heart was beating, she wouldn't recognize me, right?

The bald Taoist priest walked to the coffin and said proudly: "I'll let you see my skills today." ”

He took out a golden talisman, slapped the talisman paper directly on the head of the Taoist priest in the coffin, and then began to close his eyes and recite the mantra.

There was a sharp cry from the coffin, and the man inside scratched the coffin desperately, but he couldn't get out.

The golden talisman was on fire, and the man's cry became even more miserable, and his voice gradually became hoarse, scratching the wall of the coffin, and my scalp tingled when I heard it.

The Taoist priests tied to the pillar trembled with fear.

When the rune paper was burned, the screaming in the coffin stopped abruptly.

The bald Taoist priest opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows at his companion and said, "How is it, this talisman paper is not bad, right?" ”

My hands and feet were cold, and I suddenly understood why I wanted to say that the Taoist priests in the village were all test subjects.

The runes and magic weapons used by these people are not for ghosts, but only for people.

"Alright, go drag the people out." Yu Xuan'er told me.

I walked to the edge of the coffin, and the Taoist priest inside stared at him, his tongue drooped out, his face was pale, and he could see the cyan blood vessels, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and fear.

I dragged people out, and when I got to the door, there was another scream inside, my hand shook, and when I looked up, I saw Yu Xuan'er holding a barbed dog hair whip, and whipped a Taoist priest fiercely.

In one fell swoop, a bloody streak was brought out, and the skin was scraped, revealing red flesh.

I shuddered and hurriedly withdrew.

When I came out of the dungeon, someone took the body from my hands and said he would deal with it.

I nodded, thought about it, and went to the kitchen behind the old Yu family.

The old man who was cooking was smoking at the door, and I didn't speak to him, squatting under the eaves, thinking about what I had just seen.

It really feels like they're a bunch of crazy people.

"New here?" The old man asked me suddenly.

I nodded.

He laughed, "It's like this when you first came, and you'll get used to it in a few days." ”

"Hmm." I answered,

After hesitating for a long time, I asked in a thick voice, "Who are they?" Treat human life as child's play. ”

"People who seek pleasure." The old man spat out a puff of smoke rings and said.

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to say more, I didn't ask again.

But I have a feeling that the purpose of the Heavenly Lady Dao Master does not seem to be simple, otherwise why would this Heavenly Pavilion use evil magic?

Coincidentally, they are all used against people.

I sighed and shook my head, it's useless to think about it now, the first priority is to figure out what Maoyin is and what is in the cemetery at the end of Shinto.

After sitting for more than an hour, someone came and told me to go to the dungeon to clean up.

When I went down again, my stomach churned, and I vomited sour water straight up.

Those Taoist priests tied to the pillars were all covered in blood, and there was no good place on their bodies.

The man closest to me, untied with a rope, was sitting on the ground, looking ahead in horror, crying and gnawing on his right hand, the back of which was bitten and exposed.

What made my scalp tingle the most was that he bit down on the flesh and swallowed it himself.

"Not enough, I'm still not skilled in this technique." There was a woman standing next to Yu Xuan'er, shaking her head and saying.

I saw that she was holding a wooden figure with needles and talisman paper in her hand.

"Du Han, it's time to go back." Yu Xuan'er said impatiently.

"Okay." The woman pulled the needle from the wooden figure and tore off the rune paper.

The Taoist priest who was gnawing on his hand trembled, crying and reaching out to his throat.

When passing me, Yu Xuan'er paused in her footsteps and looked at me with a frown, "You ......"

My heart went to my throat, waiting for her next word.

"You come with me." She said.

I secretly complained, but I had no choice but to follow him.

Du Han covered his mouth and said with a coquettish smile: "Yu Xuan'er, you didn't even see your face clearly, so you let him pass?" ”

Yu Xuan'er's eyes were not warm, but there was a smile on her face, "No way, I like a man of his stature." ”

Du Han glanced me up and down, and sighed with great connotation, "It turns out that you like this." ”

Yu Xuan'er didn't speak anymore and led me to her room.

As soon as I closed the door, she lunged at me, and I reached out to stop her, "What are you doing?" ”

She sneered, her eyes shining, "I knew it was you." ”

I couldn't keep up with her rhythm, I was still noble and glamorous outside, and I became a simple little girl as soon as I entered the house.

"How did you recognize me?" I took off my mask and said helplessly.

To be on the safe side, I didn't wash my face, and I smeared a layer of ash on the bottom of the pot, and now I feel wrinkled when I laugh.

She laughed and said, "It feels like." ”

As she said this, she looked at me like a child begging for praise.

I might have comforted her before, but since I saw her pumping, I don't dare to think of her as a little girl anymore.

"Yu Xuan'er, what are you doing here?" I asked.

She pouted and said, "My father asked me to accompany Du Han and them, saying that they were here to see the world, and by the way, they went to participate in the competition for a few days. ”

"You all want to participate?" I asked tentatively.

She shook her head, "Of course not, there are still a lot of people who haven't come, that is, two days after tomorrow, there will be a group of people coming." ”

I see.

Zhai Huimin said before that after participating in the competition for a few days, you can become a Taoist priest and go out with dignity.

But I think she thought too smoothly, what Tianji Pavilion is doing here, take out a random piece and put it outside to eat prison food.

Even for the sake of secrecy, they won't let the people here out.

After thinking about it, I asked Yu Xuan'er: "You were in the dungeon just now, so it's illegal to do that." ”

She blinked her eyes and looked innocent: "What is Fa?" ”

I choked, she wasn't provoking, she really didn't know.

"It is a crime to kill someone." I said.

She frowned, took a few steps back, and said for a long time, "But my father said that they are all four-legged pigs." ”

What kind of father is this, actually teaching his children like this.

I want to explain to herself, but I'm afraid that she will doubt my origins, as long as I suppress the discomfort in my heart, and think about finding out what is going on here, I must correct Yu Xuan'er's three views, this child is very dangerous if it continues to develop like this.

She saw that I didn't speak, and her expression became even more confused.

After spending a moment in her room to make sure she wouldn't betray me, I left with my hat and mask.

I had thought of going to the dungeon again, and I heard that the leader would stay inside at night, and that the rats would know about it, so I had to dispel this idea and began to ponder the matter of Maoyin.

After quietly inquiring for two days, I learned that Maoyin was talking about the mountain behind the old site of the Yu family, and there was a village on the mountain, called Maoyin Village.

I secretly went to Zhai Huimin and Zu Zhiyou at night and talked to them about Maoyin.

Zhai Huimin said: "I think they are all sick. ”

"You can't speak." Zu Zhiyou said speechlessly.

Zhai Huimin glanced at him, "Literally, they are physically sick, although I just glanced at them from a distance, but they have similar long faces, there are teeth with bite problems, plus they have not been in contact with the outside world for many years, they must be sick." ”

I understood what she meant, "They probably have a genetic disease." ”

If you don't have contact with the outside world, there will definitely be problems of inbreeding after a long time.

Zhai Huimin nodded and said, "You have taken a closer look, have they thrown the worms in the grave?" ”

"Last time, I looked at it roughly, and it was slender and long, like a black line." I say.

"That's an ancient Gu technique." She said.

Zu Zhiyou frowned and said, "How do you know? ”

Zhai Huimin replied: "I heard my grandfather say that when he was young, he talked to the chief of Yimen Wudao, and I heard him mention it. ”

I paused, and in an instant I was back to normal.

Afraid of being discovered by others, I didn't say a few words to them and left in a hurry.

Afraid of being discovered, I specially walked out of the village from the back of the house, just walked to the door of the old site of the Yu family, a black shadow shook in front of me, the back of the neck was cold, my body was weak, I fell to the ground, it was dark in front of me, I couldn't see anything.

My consciousness became more and more blurred, and it seemed that someone had taken off my mask, and then my lips were slightly cold.

I desperately wanted to open my eyes to see who he was, but I felt a tingling pain in my eyebrows, and I completely fainted.

By the time I woke up, it was already the next morning.

I sat on the Chase bunk with the quilt in my arms, thinking carefully about last night, but I couldn't think of who knocked me unconscious.

My nose has always been very smart, if it were Xiao Yu or Yang Hao, I would definitely be able to smell them.

But I didn't smell anything yesterday.

I doubted my life in bed, so I took a photo with a basin of water, but my face was still black, and with my position, no one should recognize it.

I felt a little relieved.

In the next few days, people came in one after another, and to my surprise, Li Tai was among them.

But he didn't fit in and didn't go out much after he came in.

I didn't dare to go out and wander around, and the leader even arranged for people to patrol, so I didn't have a chance to get close to the dungeon.

On the day of the competition, the Taoist priests from the broken village and the people who lived in the old site of the Yu family came to the edge of the stone platform in the middle early.

Daoist Tianji appeared with a woman in red.

As soon as the woman spoke, my heart sank, this was the voice of the female ghost in the backyard.

She was tall and tall, and her smile was very charming, and she said, "My name is Liu Chan, and I am the referee of this competition." ”

Daoist Tianji beckoned him to sit down, said some words, and finally dropped a bombshell, saying, "The winner of this competition can enter the Yin Dragon Tomb with me." ”

The people around were instantly excited.

I took a closer look, but I didn't see Xiao Yu.

I was arranged to stand behind Daoist Tianji and Liu Chan, and I happened to hear Daoist Tianji say to Liu Chan: "If Yu Yang is here, he will definitely appear." ”

I co-authored that sentence to lure me out.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

Liu Chan nodded reservedly and didn't answer his words.

Daoist Tianji laughed, and he didn't feel embarrassed, and calmly looked at the Taoist priest in front of him.

After a while, the Tianji Daoist glanced at the leader imperceptibly, and the leader understood and turned to leave.

I withdrew from the crowd without a trace and hid aside.

In the blink of an eye, the leader came back again, followed by the living dead, who moved quickly, quietly surrounding the crowd, and holding the golden talisman in their hands.

I took advantage of the leader's inattention and took a detour to the dungeon.

As soon as I entered, I heard Yu Xuan'er's voice: "What are you doing here?" ”

I stiffened, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

The neckline suddenly tightened, and she grabbed me directly, and I looked at Shangyu Xuan'er with ice ballast: "You didn't come in to find your daughter-in-law at all." ”

My body stiffened, and countless reactions flashed in my mind, who knew that in the next second, she immediately pouted, and said aggrievedly: "I have asked all the female Taoist priests here in the past few days, and no one admitted that she was Xiao Yu's wife." ”

My heart fell back to its place, and just as I was about to explain, she stuck her head forward and stared into my eyes, "You're here for the Dragon's Tomb." ”

"Then you ......," I said halfway through, when she took my arm around me, "I'll go with you." ”

It's a lot of ups and downs......

I couldn't understand her more and more, and said with a dry smile, "It's not a joke. ”

"I know, that's why I'm going with you." She said.

"You ......," I paused, and then said, "Okay, go together." ”

I want to see what this kid has in purpose.

I followed the route taken by the leader last time, opened the door, found Shinto, and without waiting for a step, there was a sound of footsteps behind me.

"Let's go." I gritted my teeth, pulled Yuxuan'er in, closed the door with my backhand, ran to the front of the tomb along the Shinto, and hid in the corner.

I don't know about deterrence, as soon as I come in, I feel that the dragon on my body is faintly hot.

As soon as the two of us hid, the Tianji Daoist hurriedly came with the leader.

"Are you sure Xiao Yu is not in Maoyin?" He asked the leader.

The leader bent down and said, "No, he left the day before yesterday." ”

Daoist Tianji sneered and put his hand on the tomb door.

"Yo, isn't this the Daoist of Tianji, let's come here in the blink of an eye, what's going on with those Taoist priests sitting outside now?" Liu Chan said with a smile, with a lazy voice in her voice.

After the words fell, she also walked to the tomb gate.

Daoist Tianji's face sank, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was extremely sharp, as if he could pounce on him in the next moment.

Liu Chan was not afraid at all, his eyes swept over the place where Yu Xuan'er and I were hiding, and finally stopped at the tomb door, "You and Mao Yin have agreed, the time has come, go to the tomb together, do you want to break the contract now?" ”

"Liu Chan, don't think that you are the patriarch of Maoyin, I will always put up with you." Daoist Tianji said with a dark face.

I moved my shoulders uncomfortably, as if there was something pressed on my shoulders, and I unconsciously sweated out of my head.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from inside the tomb door, like thunder, but if you listened closely, it looked like something was roaring.

Both Daoist Tianji and Liu Chan were silent, staring at the door in surprise.

"It's today." Daoist Tianji said suddenly, his hands on the tomb door, pushing vigorously.

Liu Chan wanted to rush over to stop him, but the leader sat cross-legged on the ground, pinching his gestures and moving his mouth quickly.

Black shadows broke out from the walls on both sides of the Shinto Dao and roared angrily towards Liu Chan.

With such kung fu, Daoist Tianji had already pushed open the tomb door, and I endured the discomfort on my body and followed behind.

Yu Xuan'er shrank in the corner, trembling uncontrollably, and muttered, "Long Yin." ”

Seeing that Daoist Tianji had already entered the tomb, I didn't care about Yu Xuan'er, so I hurriedly followed up.

When I saw what I saw, I was instantly stunned.

A coffin wrapped in chains hung in mid-air, and directly below the coffin was a skeleton, sitting cross-legged, with a half-rotten wooden fish in front of it.

There is a dragon carved on the top, lifelike, as if it is about to soar away in the next moment.

I couldn't help but take two steps forward, and found that the coffin was not only hanging in the air, but the other end was pestle on the top, as if it was inserted horizontally.

Moreover, the coffin looks very familiar.

Yes, I have seen a pool where I have left the circular burial chamber before, and there is a coffin standing upright at the head of it, exactly like the one in front of me.
