"But why didn't she kill the old man just before she left with the little brother, and she had to wait for us to go out and come back? Moreover, did you use such a swaggering method? "Shih Tzu still has doubts.

"I think, it may be like this", Fan Li cleared his throat, "The evil spirit on Xiaoxue's body needs to meet some specific conditions or rituals in order to regain mana. First, its host, Xiaoxue, interacts with a specific person and becomes pregnant with a ghost fetus; Second, to obtain the mysterious power from the outside world, didn't Zhu Dabao say it in the morning, Jiang Can saw a light hovering above us, maybe it was that light that illuminated us for a whole night, and passed the mana to it. This strange spirit not only wanted to kill the old man, but also needed to verify whether he had the mana at his disposal, so he used a spell to kill the old man. ”

"Since it's already regained its mana, why bother messing around with us and letting Xiaoxue return to normal? Wouldn't it be worry-free to kill Old Man Li after killing Old Man Li, and then using a spell to kill us all? Shih Tzu asked again.

"I didn't understand it, but I think the spell doesn't work for everyone; Just like our Gu worms, that strange spirit must have also put something on Old Man Li's body. The insect said in a strange way.

"So, what should I do, do I want to provoke her?" I asked in a low voice, "Looking at Xiaoxue's posture, she obviously wants to be with me." Didn't you just put something on me and then use a spell? ”

"You fool", Shih Tzu laughed, "if she wanted to put it on you, she would have put it away a long time ago, and it would be useless to watch out now." Moreover, I always feel that it is different from insects, and it is not something that can be put on anyone. ”

"Okay then, in a minute, which of you will do it for me?"

……

Soon after dinner, Chu Xin "borrowed" Xiaoxue away and accompanied her to go shopping.

Obviously, this was specially arranged by Zhu Dabao. Because, as soon as the two of them left the "front foot", Zhu Dabao's "back foot" walked into my room, full of anticipation.

"How's that, did you ask?" Zhu Dabao looked a little nervous.

"Well, I asked", I nodded, "The golden seal was obtained by Boss Li, and the first one to be poisoned by the corpse was Xiaoxue, and the palm print on Boss Li's body was also left by Xiaoxue." ”

"I'll just say, I must have guessed wrong before, this poison is not obtained through ****", Zhu Dabao rubbed his hands vigorously and pulled me to the chair to sit down, "Quick, tell me everything you heard!" ”

So, I omitted the unimportant part of the story that happened after Xiaoxue went to Wenchuan to find relatives, and told him one by one, and at the same time told Fan Li's guess.

After hearing this, Zhu Dabao also lowered his head, fell into deep thought, and raised his head for a long time: "It seems that if you want to know the answer, you have to invite Jiang Can over." ”

"She, can you be trusted?" I think of Jiang Shan's family.

Zhu Dabao smiled: "Who can you trust these years?" Don't think about it so much, who hasn't had a time to use each other, just have more eyes on their own. ”

After speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and made a call to Jiang Can and asked her to come over immediately.

As soon as Jiang Can sat down on the chair I gave up, Zhu Dabao began to ask: "This morning, what Xiaoxue said...... Do you understand? ”

"Well, that's a very old spell", Jiang Can turned his head to look at me, a little hesitant.

"It's okay, let's say it, there is no secret between me and him", Zhu Dabao expressed his attitude.

"Good. She is reciting the mantra of resentful women", Jiang Can tilted his head and thought for a moment, and continued, "Usually in the first sentence, say the name of the person she wants to cast the spell, and then state her request and reason......"

"So, will you use it? I remember you said in the morning that it is impossible to crack. "Zhu Dabao is more concerned about practical issues.

Jiang Can shook his head, "This ancient spell has been lost for a long time, and I can only understand what she says, as for how to use it, then I really don't know anything." In addition, this language is the sorcerer of the clan...... and the Holy Maiden, dedicated, no other clansmen have learned, let alone outsiders. ”

"But, your sister can understand it, she's also a wizard?" I couldn't help but interject.

"Yes, she used to be a wizard too", Jiang Can immediately sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that she suddenly got married, and ...... The wizards in this clan were not originally in my turn to be the wizards. ”

"I just heard you mention it...... Saint? Zhu Dabao asked again, "Now, is there anything else in your clan?" ”

"It's long gone", Jiang Can's eyes dimmed, "Since the fall of Western Xia, our Yuenuqiang has no big tree to rely on, and it has rapidly declined. Later, it is not easy to have a piece of land, and it is not easy to make a living, where do you dare to use the title of 'saint' that attracts people's jealousy? ”

"Then, in your opinion, that thing on Xiaoxue's body could be the ancestor of your Moon Maiden? Should she be a saint or a wizard in her lifetime? ”

"Judging from the spell, it should have a lot to do with our Moon Maiden. As for whether it's a wizard or a saint, it's hard to judge", Jiang Can frowned, "This thing was born out of resentment." The greater the resentment, the higher the mana, and there is no necessary connection with the ability before death, so it is possible. ”

"So, can you recognize the ancient writings of your people?"

"Maybe you'll be able to recognize a few, but you'll have to see it to know."

"That's good", Zhu Dabao turned his face to me, "You are responsible for asking for directions, let's go explore that big hole!" ”

I nodded, then asked, "Do you want to bring light snow?" ”

"Of course you have to bring it, how can she not go? In addition, I have to call Jin Sanye and them, such a mysterious and fun place, it is impossible to go without people", Zhu Dabao looked at Jiang Can, "Are you right, Master Jiang?" ”

Jiang Can didn't object, but he seemed to be preoccupied.

To say, this Zhu Dabao's heart and eyes are really enough. He knew that caving would be dangerous, so he fooled everyone else, but he left all his "cronies" in the hotel, including Chu Xin.

However, considering that we were going to enter from the top of the cave, he made another phone call and somehow "seconded" three rock climbers. In this way, we have 7 people on our side.

Jin Sanye, who is responsible for logistics support, has purchased a lot of mountaineering supplies under the guidance of rock climbing masters.

As for our means of transportation, it is still motorcycles.

This time, there were a total of 23 motorcycles. In addition to the motorcyclist, Boss Li also brought 12 people.

Xiaoxue still insisted on riding in the same car with me, leaving the 4 "seats" for some large things, including the bodies of Boss Li and Li Tong. Although Zhu Dabao and Jiang Can haven't studied how to break the spell yet, it's not a bad thing to bring all the related things. Anyway, these corpses have been specially treated, they don't smell so big, and they are packed in a black sealed bag, and those who know it don't say it, and the people who carry them don't know it, and they won't have any opinions

Xiaoxue is very "smart", although she has only been there once, and it was blown by the wind, she didn't take any extra detours and quickly brought us to the place.

To be honest, if it weren't for the thing attached to her, I doubt she would have found this place.

Because, there is no longer the big crack she said about here. And, because the top of the hill was covered with half-man-tall shrubs and weeds, we almost didn't even find the only entrance.

It's normal to think about it, though. Last year, after the great earthquake, there were many aftershocks here, and it is not impossible to shake this crack on the top of the mountain back again, since it cracked so easily.

The hole is not large, about the size of a sewer manhole cover in the city, and it can't accommodate two people at the same time.

And, what is embarrassing is that because the "intelligence" is somewhat different from the facts, Boss Jin did not think of bringing tools for digging pits and digging the ground. There are some explosives, but there is a large hole underneath, and if it is not used properly, it will cause a landslide, and it is easy to put everyone in it, so there is no way to use it.

Since there is no way to expand the entrance of the cave, you can only hang people down one by one.

Looking down from the entrance of the cave, it is pitch black inside, and it can be seen that there are not many places that can transmit light, which makes people feel like they are being "led into the urn".

After the three climbers had all the safety measures in place, one stayed on it to guide, and the other two went down in order to determine the safest route; Then there were the mercenaries who were in charge of ground guarding, then the tools that needed to be brought down, followed by Zhu Dabao, Jin Sanye, Jiang Can, and other mercenaries, and finally Xiaoxue and me.

For safety reasons, two mercenaries were left at the top of the hill to carry out the necessary guards.

In the absence of extra manpower for the time being, the motorcyclists did not go down. They also had a task: to tie the extra long rope to the motorcycle, and if something unexpected happened underneath, throw the rope down, and use the speed and pull of the motorcycle to quickly lift the person below.

This "hole" is still quite "deep", and the rope is lowered for eighty or ninety meters before reaching the ground, and there is no place to "rest" or borrow strength in the middle. In the process of ascending and descending, our lives are completely in the hands of this group of people at the top of the mountain, and the feeling is really unpleasant, but there is no way.

No matter what the situation of others, anyway, I fell to the ground with my eyes closed and my body stiff, and I broke out in a cold sweat, and I was despised by Xiaoxue, who went down one step ahead of me.

By the time I reached the ground, the people in front of me had already set up the camp and lit several bonfires, which lit up the rocky walls around me with swaying figures, and I felt indescribably weird.

Because of the light, I looked up. It turned out that at the top of the cave there were many things that reflected the light, and in the light of the fire, they flashed and flashed, looking like the eyes of some kind of animal, counting our heads with bad intentions.

I was startled by my imagination and shuddered involuntarily, and I almost tripped over a bulging rock underground, but was fortunately held back by Xiaoxue, who was following closely behind.

But as soon as her hand grabbed my arm, she refused to let go. She said that she regretted coming a little and hoped that I could stay with her all the time and not go to see any coffins or corpses. If there is anything, just let Zhu Dabao and them deal with it.

I didn't say anything immediately, but I didn't want to walk away alone, so I had to "drag" her and slowly walk into the camp.

Jin Sanye, Zhu Dabao and Jiang Can were not there. According to the people in the camp, there is a deep pit the size of a tennis court in front of it, which is full of black silt, and the coffin that Xiaoxue said should be buried in it, and they are trying to find a way to clean it up.

I nodded, raised my leg and was about to go over, but was pulled by Xiaoxue, her tears were even about to flow out, and her body was trembling, looking very scared.

I'm a little embarrassed, they are all in danger to understand the poison in my body, why am I embarrassed not to go over. So, I said to Xiaoxue, "It's okay, I'll go and go back." ”

Xiaoxue shook her head desperately, and then desperately pulled me back, saying that she wanted to go back outside.

The people who were tidying up in the camp saw us like this, and they covered their mouths and had fun.

I couldn't hold back my face, so I persuaded Xiaoxue not to make trouble, then pulled my arm out of her hand, turned around and ran.

"Stop!" Xiaoxue's voice suddenly became very unfamiliar, as if she was a different person.

Could it be...... That thing reappeared? Still in this place.

Isn't this a little unpleasant?!

I froze, stood where I was, and let her run over and grab my arm again.

"It seems that I'm more effective", this voice is obviously not Xiaoxue's.

I forcibly suppressed the fear in my heart and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"What can I do? If it weren't for seeing Xiaoxue like you, I wouldn't have bothered to take care of you. ”

"Then, if it's okay, can you let me go first and let me pass?"

"They're digging, and you're over, how can you help?" Her voice softened suddenly, "Don't you want to know my story?" Wouldn't it be better for me to tell you about it myself? ”

Seeing that I didn't respond, she took my arm and walked in the direction of the hole......

What she told me was, of course, the story of the female corpse in the coffin.

The person in the coffin, named Ji Yu, is the holy daughter of the Western Xia Kingdom and the Moon Maiden, when she was 15 years old, because of her outstanding talent and reputation, she was recruited into Beijing by Li An'an, who had just usurped the throne, and was ready to be accepted as a concubine.

According to the rules of the Moon Maiden, the saint must be a virgin and never marry for the rest of her life, otherwise she will be punished by God. In addition, at this time, the state affairs of Western Xia had declined, and he heard that Li An'an was a sinister and vicious person, Ji Yu naturally did not want to enter the palace, so after the envoy read the holy decree, in the name of changing clothes, ran to the room, and committed suicide by hanging the beam.

The messenger put Ji Yu's body into the coffin and prepared to take it back to the messenger; As a result, the Mongol army invaded Western Xia, and the defeated Western Xia soldiers poured in like a tide and scattered his convoy. And the coachman who transported Ji Yu's coffin ran in the wrong direction in a panic, went straight to the southwest border, and was soon killed by a stray arrow, throwing Ji Yu's coffin into the ditch on the side of the road.

As a result, after such a toss, Ji Yu miraculously came back from the dead. Her consciousness, as if something had suddenly been stuffed back into her body, was all of a sudden.

Although Ji Yu had come back to life, she couldn't go home, let alone go on the road alone as a woman, so she took off her clothes from the dead body on the side of the road, pretended to be a man, and continued to run abroad.

Although Ji Yu knows some kung fu, after all, he is young, has little experience in the rivers and lakes, and is not used to the life of sleeping in the wilderness, so he gradually revealed his daughter's posture and was targeted by a group of people.
