Chapter Seventy-Four: God's Curse
The next day, we accompanied Liao Kai to the Miao Village behind the mountain, which is surrounded by mountains, heavy mountains and mountains, terraced fields are directly connected to the clouds by the mountain, the bamboo forest around the Miao Village is verdant, and the flowing water is like a paradise.
We stopped in front of a simple wooden house, the dark face of the person who opened the door revealed the simplicity and simplicity of the mountain people, Liao Kai politely went up to say hello, and took out the wooden sign symbolizing the Liao family's toast.
"What's this?" The middle-aged man stared at Liao Kai blankly, with no enthusiasm on his face.
Liao Kai didn't know how to explain, the cloudy eyes of the old woman who came out of the house fell on the wooden sign, and the middle-aged man who opened the door in shock instantly: "Who are you, Master Liao?" ”
These elderly people all call Liao Gaogu like this, hearing Liao Kai say that it was his grandfather, the old woman bent her waist and invited us in, the middle-aged man at the door was the son of the old woman, and was called to serve tea and pour water, the posture was like a relative of the emperor coming to the door, looking at the old woman's appearance, he almost knelt down for Liao Kai.
The people in the mountains are simple, and the reverence for toast has not been weakened with the passage of time, and we walked into the house and saw an old man in the twilight on the wooden chair on the patio, with his head on his shoulder, motionless and basking in the sun.
We walked up to the old man, saliva was still flowing from the corners of his mouth, his hands hung weakly, his empty eyes were chaotic, even if we stood in front of him, the old man did not react at all.
This is the person who followed Liao Gaogu into the mountain back then, and he is the only one who is still alive today.
"A little heart, it should be the compensation of the Liao family." Liao Kai politely put a stack of money in the old woman's hand.
The old woman suddenly burst into tears, wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and thanked her, I looked at it next to me and felt that it was not a taste, this is too benevolent and hypocritical, Liao Gaogu didn't want to let these people come back alive at all, and now it has become like this because of the Liao family, if I were the family of this old man, I am afraid that Liao Kai would not be able to climb up long ago.
Looking at the old man's appearance is similar to Liao Kai's description of his father, there is still a vague fear and panic in his godless eyes, I take a deep breath, how much stimulation must I be to become like this, what happened to the more than 100 people who went to bury treasures forty years ago?
"Has it always been like this? Has it ever gotten better? Liao Kai glanced at the old man on the wooden chair and asked the old woman kindly.
"It was fine when I went, I said that I would come back in a few days, who knew it would become like this, it's been decades, and it's the same as when I came back, I shouted at night, I had to turn on the lights or I would hit my head against the wall." The old woman wiped her tears and shook her head. "The Liao family left money for us when they left, so we can survive until now, and I have found many people to see it, but I don't know how this happened, saying that it was a ghost and god, and I have never been sober."
"At that time, I was still young, and what happened back then was also learned from my family later, did he say anything after he came back?" Liao Kai asked carefully.
The old woman shook her head affirmatively, saying that when the old man came back, it was the way it was, and that the only thing that had changed in forty years was aging, and that she was terribly afraid of the darkness as soon as it got dark, and that she cried out in a slurred voice, but never uttered a complete sentence.
"I'm afraid of the dark......," the palace lord whispered in our ears. It shows that the accident should have been at night, and the old man couldn't remember anything after being surprised and stimulated, and the only thing he could remember was the night. ”
"Was it an attack?" The general said with a frown. "With such a large amount of wealth, it is inevitable that someone will take risks."
"It shouldn't be, if it's an attack, there should be a conflict, it's not that the person who said he came back didn't have any injuries on him." I shook my head and said.
The old woman shook her head when she heard our conversation, she said that when the old man was young, he was powerful and courageous, and when there was a conflict between the Liao family and the Wa people, the old man went into battle to kill people and cut off his head.
"It will definitely not be a person, if it is a person, he will not be scared like this, and if Master Liao is attacked, he will not retreat even if he is desperate." The old woman's eyes were filled with fear as she said this. "There are many ghosts and gods in the deep mountains, and Master Liao is afraid that the ghosts and gods will be alarmed by trespassing with people."
We were speechless, we really couldn't think of what happened to frighten the old man like this, Liao Kai asked some more things later, but didn't get a useful answer, Liao Kai was somewhat disappointed, got up and planned to leave.
Bang dang.
When I turned around, something fell out of my body, and when I looked back, it was a bronze cylinder half a finger high, and I picked it up from the ground, and the bronze pillar had irregular concave holes, and when I erected the bronze column, I saw that there was also a three-eyed unicorn pattern on the top.
"Where did you get this?" The palace lord asked me in surprise.
Everyone else also looked at me suspiciously, but I was more shocked than them, this thing was the first time I had seen it, but I didn't know why it appeared on me, Wen Ru came over and looked at it for a while, and said with certainty that the bronze pillar and the bronze mask were ancient artifacts from the same period, and there were three-eyed unicorns on both things, so there must be a connection between the two.
Liao Kai looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze, as if waiting for me to explain, I frowned and thought for a long time, before I got to Bai Yan, I was sure that there could be no bronze pillar on my body, it should be someone who put it on me after Bai Yan.
……
"Huashan Festival!" I suddenly remembered. "Yesterday the Huashan Festival village was very lively, when I was knocked to the ground, at that time I thought it was an unintentional contact, now I think back, the bronze pillar should have been put on me at that time."
"Why did you give you the Bronze Pillar?" Ye Zhiqiu took it from my hand curiously. "What's the use of this thing?"
I took it back, since the bronze pillar and the mask are connected, then this thing is not simple, I can't think of anyone who will give me this thing, but at least there is another purpose, more than a hundred people have gone and have not returned, these bronzes do not seem to be peaceful things, I am worried that Ye Zhiqiu will be in danger in his hands.
Kabo Akuroi ......
Just as we were looking at the bronze pillar and puzzled, the old man's frightened voice suddenly came from behind us.
Liao Kai's face changed suddenly, he looked behind us in shock, we turned our heads and were surprised to find that the old man, who had been stupid for more than forty years, actually stood up tremblingly, staring at the bronze pillar in my hand with scattered and fearful eyes, and kept repeating that sentence in his mouth.
This is not the first time we have heard this sentence, Liao Kai said that his father was briefly awake before his death, and the only complete sentence he said was this sentence.
Kabo Yaroyi!
Now we hear from the old man's mouth once again that Wen Ru said that this is the language of the ancestors of the Miao people, which has disappeared for thousands of years, and it is absolutely impossible for an uneducated subject to master such a difficult language.
Decades of inactivity, the old man's muscles have atrophied, he basically stood up on the wooden chair, gradually I realized that the old man is afraid of the bronze pillar in my hand, a person who is not even afraid of killing people and cutting off his head will be afraid of a small bronze pillar like this, I looked down and found that the three-eyed unicorn pattern on the bronze pillar was clearly visible, and immediately reacted, the old man was not afraid of the bronze pillar, but the three-eyed unicorn!
The old man longed to retreat, but his legs were weak at all, and the old man fell to the ground when he left the wooden chair, looked at the bronze pillar in my hand in horror, slowly raised his hand, and squirmed the corners of his mouth to shout intermittent words.
"Don't ...... Don't go to Kaboya...... Gurg...... Easy ......"
Listening to the old man's words, Kabo Yaroyi should be a place name, I didn't expect that the old man who had been delirious and stupid for forty years would suddenly wake up, the old woman and her son hurriedly supported the old man, Liao Kai squatted down and asked eagerly where Liao Gaogu and the more than 100 people went and what happened.
But the old man didn't look at Liao Kai from beginning to end, his eyes stared at the three-eyed unicorn on the bronze pillar, and then we heard the old man's trembling and frightened voice.
No...... Don't go to Kabo...... Second...... Royi ...... Disturb God......
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, his chest rose and fell greatly, his eyes widened with his big breathing, and his raised hand trembled violently, and then the old man's voice suddenly stopped, and as the old man's hand lowered, we heard the last clear and coherent sentence.
You're all going to die!
The old man's eyes were still wide when he lost his breath, his dilated pupils turned into chaotic pitch black, and he always looked at the bronze pillar of the three-eyed unicorn in my hand in fear, and the voices of the old woman and her son crying echoed in the room, and we looked at each other silently.
The old man's last words were like a curse, and they had been fulfilled forty years ago, could Liao Gaogu and the more than 100 people really anger something that should not be disturbed because of trespassing.
Kabo Akuroyi.
What the hell is that place? Why is it related to the three-eyed unicorn that enters the earth's eye? And who gave me the bronze pillar? And why did the old man suddenly wake up after seeing the bronze pillar?
I looked at the pattern of the three-eyed unicorn on the bronze pillar in my hand, and gradually regretted that I shouldn't have let Ye Zhiqiu get involved, what Liao Gaogu encountered forty years ago may be beyond our imagination.
