Chapter 4: The Curse of the Five Horses
There was a "buzz", and the ground suddenly trembled.
"Huh? What's going on?" Lao Zhu asked loudly.
"It seems to be...... Earthquakes?" Why don't you ask for it.
"Buzz, buzz" twice, the ground trembled twice in a row, with an interval of only two or three seconds, and everyone felt the huge shock, which was indeed like a four-magnitude earthquake.
When the fourth "buzz" sounded, the overhead light flashed and suddenly went out.
Shi Miaoshou reacted quickly, and immediately turned on the flashlight and shone it towards the overhead light.
The sudden darkness made everyone have a short period of blindness, especially the extremely bright pillar of light appeared in the extremely dark, and everyone's eyes naturally focused on the top light.
"Don't panic, there are few power outages here, there is a generator in the temple, and the power will be restored soon." Shi Miaoshou said.
Next, the light flashed several times in a row, each time for three or four seconds, and then went out. In this case, it is natural for everyone to lower their heads and close their eyes so as not to be repeatedly stimulated by bright lights.
This confusion lasted for about ten minutes, and finally, the overhead lamp finally came on steadily, shining again on the crystal coffin.
"Alright, I'm sorry everyone, let's continue—" Shi Miaoshou said.
Everyone suddenly found that something was wrong with the situation, because Aunt Ge, who was standing opposite the ice coffin, was gone.
"Where's Aunt Ge?" Shi Miaoshou immediately asked.
No one could give an answer, because in that case, if someone exited the stairs, at least there would be footsteps. Moreover, without the consent of her master, she will not leave without permission.
"Aunt Ge, Aunt Ge......" Shi Miaoshou shouted, but no one responded at all.
"What's going on? Really, you don't say a word when you go out?" Zhu Ye was a little annoyed.
Fang Qing raised his hand: "Uncle Shi, I'll go out to find it, Aunt Ge shouldn't go far."
Shi Miaoshou agreed, and Fang Qing stepped on the stairs.
Ding Jun's heart moved, and he immediately said, "Uncle Shi, I'll accompany Miss Fang up."
The two came out of the small door, and the room was empty, and there was no trace of Aunt Ge.
"The toilet is in the southeast corner of the courtyard, if Aunt Ge goes to the toilet, she will definitely come back in five minutes, but, but ......" Fang Qing pointed to the closed door.
In order not to be disturbed by outsiders, when everyone entered the house, the two wooden doors were blocked by a thick square wooden door latch. If you don't remove the latch from the inside, no one from the outside will be able to enter. Of course, if Aunt Ge went out alone, she wouldn't be able to bolt the door from the outside.
"No one, neither Aunt Ge, nor anyone who might help her bolt the door, do you say strange?" Fang Qing asked.
In this room, except for the rectangular wooden table and chairs and stools, the walls were empty, and it was impossible to hide anyone. Of course, the only two small windows were also closed, nailed by the crosses of wooden strips.
Ding Jun didn't speak, just looked around attentively, until he was sure that no one could get out through the wall, and then slowly came to the conclusion: "Aunt Ge didn't come up."
Fang Qing's good-looking eyebrows suddenly raised: "Didn't come up?" But we also saw that she wasn't down there, and there was no other fork in the stairs or a dark hole in the stairs - where did she go? Disappeared into thin air?"
Aunt Ge is a big living person, and she is a Jianghu person with unique skills, even if she is hunted in an instant, she can always struggle or call for help, and she will not die quietly. What's more, all the people standing in the cellar just now are masters of the rivers and lakes, and someone is assassinated around them, so no one will notice.
Ding Jun took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and dragged a stool to sit down.
"It's so weird!" Fang Qing also sat down.
"There are many things in this world that seem to have no answers, seem impossible, but are actually extremely simple." Ding Jun said.
Fang Qing thought about it for a while, and burst out laughing: "Mr. Ding, what you said is not ...... at all It's the same as not saying it. We were looking for Aunt Ge, but you said something very philosophical, which did not help solve this matter. ”
Ding Jun also smiled, since Shi Hai's death, his heart was full of doubts. One mystery has not been solved, and other mysteries have followed, becoming an interlocking knot, and I don't know where to start dismantling.
"Mr. Ding, have you ever heard of the name Five Horses Splitting the Corpse Curse?" Fang Qing changed the topic.
Ding Jun shook his head: "What is that?"
Fang Qing replied honestly: "I don't know either, but when I served tea to Master Chisang, I heard him talk to Uncle Shi about this name." At that time, all the photos you brought were spread out on the table. Uncle Shi said that it is possible for the school brother to die from this 'five-horse corpse splitting curse', and the Shi family was given this curse by a very powerful force a long time ago, and everyone will die violently under this spell, and their bodies will be divided by the five horses - I say this, can you understand?"
Ding Jun has seen those photos more than 100 times, Shi Hai's corpse was put together by his own hands, and the tragic situation at that time was imprinted in his mind like a knife and an axe.
"Please continue." He responded softly.
"Master Chisang said that the five-horse corpse splitting spell is a kind of ancient Persian mysterious spell, and in the history of Tibet for nearly a thousand years, only the royal descendants of the Guge Dynasty are good at this secret technique, and it has never been passed on. With the disappearance of the Guge dynasty overnight, so did the mystical technique. In other words, the appearance of the Five Horses Dividing the Corpse Curse proves that the Guge Dynasty still exists. Fang Qing said.
She was only relaying the words of Shi Miaoshou and Trisang Gyatso, so she could only say the general meaning.
Tibetan archaeologists and historians have come to an official conclusion about the Guge Dynasty, and the once prosperous dynasty disappeared in an unbelievable way, as if it was also a fatal curse, and overnight, all the people disappeared, but nothing was taken with them, including pots and pans, household utensils, and so on.
This disappearance is similar to that of Pompeii, the most famous city in Italy, but the latter was buried by volcanic ash, and the ruins of the Guge dynasty make it clear that there is no natural force that can do so. The only explanation is to blame some "supernatural" force.
"The military experts did not come to any conclusions, and in the end they ended hastily, attributing Shi Hai's tragic death to some special ritual of the terrorists. But, now that I think about it, his death — I mean his dying actions were really suspicious. Ding Jun said with a frown.
These things should be discussed with Shi Miaoshou, not Fang Qing.
"You still say you're an outsider? None of the people who came here were outsiders. Fang Qing sighed leisurely, "You have heard Zhu Ye say that the Guge Envoy and the Guge Silver Eye Talisman will be related to the 'Holy Child's Heart' gem that shocked the world." Legend has it that the gem is associated with the world-famous 'Heavenly Treasure'...... You see Zhu Ye and theirs are burned red by greed. ”
Ding Jun nodded: "I see, but at the very least, the focus of your thoughts and mine is not on treasures and interests."
Fang Qing smiled again: "I came to Torin Temple to focus on tantric practice. If it weren't for Master Trisang Gyatso's instructions, I would have read the scriptures in the Zangjing Pavilion at this moment. ”
Ding Jun was just about to answer, when he suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his back. It was the sixth sense of crisis formed on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and as long as there was an element of instability in the environment in which he lived, he could quickly sense it.
"Someone, here." He quickly wrote a few words on the table.
Fang Qing wrote back a question mark.
"I feel it." Ding Jun continued to write.
"Go?" Fang Qing asked again.
Ding Jun shook his head, he could feel that the person hiding in the shadows was barely breathing, lying quietly and sophisticatedly like a gecko ambushing mosquitoes.
"Let's go down." Fang Qing ti yì.
Ding Jun nodded, and the two got up at the same time, but at this moment, the young man from the He family strode out from the small door with a gun box on his back and nodded to Fang Qing with a grin.
"You didn't find the old woman?" The young man asked.
Fang Qing smiled and replied, "No, she doesn't seem to have come up."
The young man laughed: "That's weird, neither up nor down." Is such an old woman eaten by a ghost?"
He walked to the table, picked up the teapot, and drank it mouth-to-mouth for a while, then suddenly stopped and smacked his lips vigorously: "This tea...... What's weird? Something seems wrong?"
After saying only these two words, he fell limply.
The tea was made just before the meeting, and although it is cold now, it will not put down a big living person.
"What's going on?" Fang Qing smiled bitterly.
"I don't know, things are getting weird." Ding Jun also smiled bitterly. The disappearance of Aunt Ge is already a strange thing, and the young man of the He family fell down because of drinking tea, which is even more strange.
The two looked at each other, then stepped back a little further away from the table.
"I think it's best for us to leave nothing at all and notify Uncle Shi to come up and solve the problem. In this case, I really admire the idea that you decided to be an outsider from the beginning, and you can't mix it at all. Fang Qing said.
As soon as she finished speaking, a shadow floated out of the shadows under the window. To be exact, it was an extremely thin man, as thin as a shadow that could be blown away by a gust of wind, without making the slightest noise under his feet.
Fang Qing's arms immediately drooped, pressing on the slight protrusion around his waist, and his reaction was extremely agile. It's just that when she noticed that Ding Jun didn't make any moves, she disguised her hostility a little and pretended to brush off the dust from the corners of her clothes.
"Hey, don't do this, I'm just joking, you just release Gu worms to deal with me, how can there be this? Young people can't even afford to joke?" When the shadow arrives at the table, it does not sit down, but gently leans down, lands on the table, and then sits down cross-legged.
"Ding Jun, Fang Qing—" Waiting for the young man of the He family to stand up from the ground, the shadow continued, "The people of the He family of the Five Poisons Sect right?"
"Who are you?" The young man asked. He had just collapsed under the table, and it turned out that it was just a ploy to lure the enemy.
The shadow narrowed his small eyes, and a wicked smile appeared on his earthy gray face: "Little guy, take your Gu worm away, and I'll sue you."
He was no taller than one hundred and sixty-five centimeters, like a half-grown child in development, but he had a face that had suffered from the vicissitudes of life, and the whiskers of the rat on the left and right of the human body hung down to the chin.
The young man raised his right hand and showed a brass bullet between his index and middle fingers: "Hey, don't panic, I haven't released Gu yet, I'm just taking it out to scare you." Besides, do you know how much time it takes to cultivate such a Gu worm? Your life isn't worth that much money. ”
The shadow changed color and pouted: "How much is my life worth?" It scares you to death when you say it, 100 million, and it's dollars, do you understand? Forget it, filial piety is not sensible, I am too lazy to talk to you. This time, the two people from your Five Poisons Sect are quite eye-catching, huh? Shi Miaoshou really has no face, go to the Five Poisons Sect to ask for help, and invite you three nobodies......"
The young man's fingertips moved, and he effortlessly unscrewed the warhead, and with a slight knock on the table, a miniature gecko-like bug landed on the table.
"Huh?" The shadow was taken aback, and immediately flipped back into the air to the chair at the far end of the long table.
The little worm was only half an inch long, its whole body was blood-red, and its head and tail, fingers and claws were exactly the same as those of a gecko, except that its back was covered with raised bumps, which looked extremely disgusting.
"Do you know how to collect and release the Fire God Gu? Who are you? Which of the 'Ten Masters' of the Five Poisons Sect is a disciple?" The shadow screamed.
The young man replied coldly, "Even if you are clever enough, you still know how to dodge when you see the Fire God Gu." What is the 'Ten Husbands'? When I saw them, I spanked them. ”
The shadow was stunned, waved his hand and shouted: "Forget it, you put away the Fire God Gu first, if you have something to say, that thing is not fun, we will die if we spray poisonous gas."
