213. Bronze ring
"No matter, put down the cage, let's get out of here quickly." I say.
The pillar and another militiaman scrambled to turn the cage's handle.
"No! Just now, the fifth gray master said, don't let us go! Let's go...... He's going to be angry. Liu De hurriedly stopped them.
"Don't worry, the fifth master of the gray wants to keep us, and there is no tea, no food and no wine to entertain us! Uncle, you think too much, the fifth master of the gray doesn't let us go, in fact, he just bombards us to go...... When we came to his house, he was annoyed, and he was embarrassed to say it directly, so he began to fake, saying that he wanted to keep us or something, and asked our village if you would stay for lunch...... Alas...... Uncle, you're too real. ”
The pillar was also frightened and stupid, and while talking nonsense to embolden himself, he reached out to stir the handle.
But no matter how much he tossed, the chain could no longer move an inch, and he could not go up or down.
"Why is it stuck? It was fine just now! "The pillar was sweating.
Suddenly, the voice rang out again.
"Can't go."
The voice was behind me, where the portrait of the Gray Fifth Master was.
I screamed and turned around, but there was still nothing unusual about the portrait of the Fifth Master of Gray.
The voice seemed to come from under the offering table.
Liu De and the others were so frightened that they couldn't stand steadily, and asked in trembling voices, who is talking?
"Don't panic, it's just a ghost." I said, and walked over to the offering table.
I removed the baffle under the offering table and tossed it aside.
A dry skeleton in a cyan robe, sitting cross-legged under the offering table.
Because I had guessed in my heart and was mentally prepared, I was not too surprised to see this dry bone.
On the ground in front of the dry bones, there was a parchment scroll, and I reached out and took it out.
The parchment was covered with pale red handwriting, like a blood book, and the parchment itself was moldy and faded, and it took me a great deal of effort to make out what was written on it.
"I wandered the way, lost because of greed, helped to cause calamity for abuse, repented of not being at the beginning, and only hoped to atone for my sins with death......"
I held the parchment roll and had a rough guess in my mind.
This Taoist priest of Youfang was lured and coaxed by Boss Huang of the rice shop, and then the two of them joined forces to assist Boss Huang in harming people together, cultivating evil methods and improving Taoism.
Later, for some reason, the situation was beyond the control of the two of them, after the outbreak of the plague in Wuyi Town, Boss Huang was beaten to death by the crazy townspeople, and the Taoist priest of You Fang hid in despair in the cave altar of the Huang family's rice shop, and at the same time committed suicide with guilt, and his soul has been trapped here, and he has not been able to get exceeded.
And just now he spoke out twice in a row, not letting us go, and he wanted us to take his bones out for burial, so that he could be reincarnated.
"Is that so?" I asked the dry bones.
The hollow eye sockets of the dry bones, with a few flashes of white light, indicated certainty.
"Boss, you ...... Are you sure you want to help with this? According to what you said, this dead Taoist priest also helped Boss Huang do a lot of evil back then. The pillar asked me hesitantly.
"He can commit suicide and apologize, it proves that he still has good intentions, help him once, anyway, it's just a gesture, and after he goes out, he will set up a well-dressed grave for him, he will appear in front of a capable person, and I will ask him in detail when the time comes, what happened in this rice shop back then." I say.
Immediately, I took out the tablecloth of the offering table and wrapped the dry bones of the Taoist priest.
The weight of the dry bones was very light, and I handed the cloth bag to Liu De, who was empty-handed, and asked him to carry it.
But when the cloth bag was handed to Liu De, something suddenly fell out of the cloth bag and fell to the ground with a clang.
Liu De's eyes were quick, and he reached out and picked up the thing.
It was a quaint bronze ring, with a diamond-shaped spike at the top and a strange pattern drawn on the end, which I couldn't see clearly, like a swirl.
"It must be this dead ghost who heard what I just said, and intends to give us some benefits, I'm afraid that we won't help take him out, it's really stingy, what is the bronze ring worth? It's better to give a gold! The pillar muttered.
"Brother Donghai, this ring is so strange, there is an eyeball engraved on it." Liu De said to me.
"Eyeballs?" My body slammed.
I hurriedly took the ring, and looked closely at the pattern at the end of the ring, it was indeed an eyeball!
Moreover, the pattern of this eyeball is so familiar to me.
"Compare it, is the eye pattern on this ring exactly the same as the eye on my forehead?" I asked Liu De.
At the same time, I reached out and brushed my bangs away.
Liu De was taken aback, and after a long time, after carefully comparing the two, he nodded heavily, saying that it was indeed exactly the same.
After listening to Liu De's words, I frowned tightly and didn't say a word.
"But, Brother Donghai, why do you still have an eye on your forehead? Don't...... Are you the reincarnation of Jiro God? Liu De asked me.
I'm not in the mood to deal with Liu De, my mind is full of thinking about what is going on with this ring, and who is this Taoist priest?
It's not just the eye on my forehead that was given by the plum, but I've seen this swirling pattern in many places.
As for Mei's identity, this eyeball pattern is definitely a very important clue.
I'm lucky enough to stumble upon this vein here.
I put the ring in my pocket, thinking that when I went out immediately, I must ask the ghost of this wandering Taoist priest about everything.
At this time, I was about to instruct Liu De and the pillar to turn the chains, and we should get out of here quickly.
But when I looked up, I was dumbfounded again.
Damn it! Why is there one less person?
Except for me and Liu De, there are only eight people left in those militia now.
And this time, I found at a glance that the person who is missing is an incomparably talkative pillar!
Since we got out of this hole, the mouth of the pillar has basically not stopped.
I distinctly remember the last thing I heard him say was about twenty seconds ago, when he was complaining that the bronze ring was not worth much.
But in just twenty seconds, without making any sound or sound, the pillar disappeared out of thin air right under the noses of all of us.
I figured it out, and I didn't understand what the hell was going on.
But at least I can be sure that it's not the supernatural phenomenon of evaporation from the world, but something secretly playing tricks.
Because the timing of the pillar's mysterious disappearance, like the previous sheep child, Da Zhuang, and Chuanming, was when all of us focused our attention on something, ignoring the situation around us.
"There are still 'ghosts' making trouble." I thought to myself.
And that "ghost" has been hiding by our side, thus waiting for an opportunity to murder us!
I lined up the remaining eight militiamen, and I had to check them one by one to see if there were any wolves in sheep's clothing.
"You stand over there, too." I'm sure I won't forget Liu De.
Then, I used my half-hung Qi Gong to smell them one by one.
From their bodies, I didn't smell a trace of yin, but these northern gentlemen don't often take a bath in winter, and the smell of ecstasy on their bodies made me almost faint.
I frowned and paced back and forth in front of them, not knowing what to do.
We must not leave here until we find out the ghost who killed us, otherwise we will be carrying the danger with us all the time.
My heart is about to catch fire, and I have 10,000 regrets, why do I have to bring these rabbles together? It didn't help at all, it just made me anxious.
I took out the Ghost Golden Sheep ink fountain, then pulled out the ink line, and asked each of the nine of them to reach out and touch the ink line, but they didn't do anything at all.
"That's it, no matter what happened, we can't stop anyone disappearing mysteriously, from now on, you keep counting, don't stop, you know?" I say.
Liu De: They all nodded.
In the continuous "one, two, three...... Eight-nine", I walked over to the cage's handle and lowered the chain.
At this time, Liu De and the others behind me suddenly quarreled.
"It's messy! Who made the mistake? ”
"I shouted four, why didn't anyone shout five?"
"Who should shout five?"
"It's supposed to be a full house!"
"Where's the full house?"
"It's full!"
I turned my head and stared at Liu De and them with wide eyes.
Nine people, became eight.
One less yet.
Oh my God, that's not how to play the big change!
