Chapter 20: The Strange Mural (I)
At the moment, I'm really conflicted, what is going on with all this? The dried corpse in front of us, the old monster that attacked us, and the old Taoist aunt who saved our lives, what is the relationship between them? Many questions flashed through my mind at the same time, and my head was big when I thought about it.
I shook my head, I don't think about it so much, it's still important to find Hu San. The light of the lighter was limited, so I walked around the table with the lighter, trying to see if there was a place where people could hide, maybe Hu San was in a corner, or was in a corner.
Turning to the base of the wall on the right, a trail of Yin Hong's fresh blood also extends outward. I really don't know which pervert did such a cruel thing, this blood stain seems to be brushed with a brush, because you can clearly see the traces like hair.
I just thought about the hair, but I really saw the hair, and among the bloodstains, there were some bloody hairs, and if I didn't pay attention, I really couldn't see it.
Hair, brushes, is it ...... Could it be that the blood was brushed with hair?
At this moment, I had this image in my mind, the old monster was holding the feet of a corpse in his hands, the corpse had long hair, and the head was smashed out of a big hole by the old monster, and the old monster was holding her up and walking around the base of the wall.
I shook my head vigorously, I admired my imagination, and the picture in my mind was like a real thing happening in front of me, and I began to tremble a little. If I have the courage to say that I am big or small, if I fight with real swords and guns, I am not afraid of anything, but if I engage in some evil ways, I will have no way.
After turning around, there is no important discovery, and there seems to be no place to hide people, is Hu San more auspicious? I feel sad when I think about it. Alas, Hu San also saved my life!
Hu San's disappearance must be inseparable from the monsters or old Taoist monsters here. I was depressed in my heart, and I hated it, and turned to look at the shriveled corpse sitting on the stage, although it was at an oblique angle, I always felt that his eyes were directed at me. I stepped forward and kicked the corpse in the chest, and with a muffled snap, the corpse flew in response, hit the wall behind it and fell off, lying on its side in a strange position.
After this kick, I relieved a little, "Let you look at me like that." ”
I suddenly noticed that there was a hole in the place where the dry corpse was sitting, the size of a fist, what was this?
I walked over and took a light on it, and it turned out that there was a rectangular gap around the hole.
If I'm guessing correctly, this could be a lid. I carefully clasped the edge of the hole with my fingers, but I couldn't pull it, so I increased my strength, and then I buckled a rectangular stone slab with a hole in the middle, and sure enough, it was a lid.
I raised the lighter, and underneath the slate was a very small rectangular pit with a very quaint black wooden box inside. This discovery made me a little excited, whether there would be any treasure in the box.
I suddenly felt like a tomb robber, and I couldn't help but feel a little weak, but then I thought, even if it was a tomb robbery, I was stealing the tomb of a monster, so it shouldn't be considered immoral.
I took out the box, but I didn't expect it to be heavy, could it be that there were gold and silver jewelry in it? That's not bad, although I still have some silver taels, but I gave some of them to Master and Hu San, and the rest is not much, even if it is exchanged for the current money, it won't take long. And Hu San has no serious income, according to him, he usually makes money by playing games, but his income is not much, and it is very unstable, and he often asks the master for money to spend. He said that the master was very rich, and he didn't know how much, anyway, once his relative was seriously ill and needed hundreds of thousands of surgery fees, and when he told the master, he didn't even beat Ben'er, and sent the money over the next day. However, Master has always been very frugal in life, and always said that cultivators should not be greedy for enjoyment.
But now that the master is missing, money has become the biggest problem.
I was a little excited to look at this box, I rummaged over and over to find a way to open it, and I didn't know where I pressed the box and the box popped open on its own, which startled me. When I looked inside the box, I was a little disappointed that there was only a round jade pendant inside, and it was very ugly, as if it had been buried in the soil for many years. There is a small hole in the middle of the jade pendant, and there are some rotten slag on it, which may have been worn before, but now it is all rotten.
I checked this wooden box, it was very heavy, I don't know what material it was made of, it seems that the weight I just felt was this box.
I took the jade pendant into my arms and looked at the pit again. "Huh?" I saw a few strands of red silk peeking out in the corner of the pit, what is this? I pulled it gently, and I actually lifted it up a little, and with more force, a sword was lifted up by me. The body of the sword is less than two feet, Cheng is yellow, it is obviously a wooden sword, but it is heavy in the hand, and the texture is much better than Hu San's.
I was very happy, but in an instant I was anxious again, I almost forgot just now, Hu San hasn't found it yet.
I looked around again, but I didn't find anything. Just as I was about to go back to find Hu San, I heard some noises, as if calling my name, I shivered, but I looked left and right, but I didn't know where the sound came from,
"Qingming, I'm here!" It's Hu San, although his voice is very small, I can already hear it, he is calling me.
"Where are you?" I shouted.
"I'm here, I'm trapped!"
I quickly turned 360 degrees, but I never thought that the fire engine would go out with a big movement. I rekindled it and looked around, Hu San was still calling me, and the voice was very close to me, but I just couldn't tell where it came from.
Sweating profusely, I looked around carefully, and finally my eyes fell on the mural behind the dried corpse, and the scene in front of me was the most eerie scene I had ever seen in my life. I saw that the original murals on the wall had changed, and the head of one of them had changed into the appearance of Hu San. At this time, his expression was still, and his eyes did not blink, as if his face and painting had merged, while his mouth was still moving: "Qingming, save me, I was trapped in me?" ”
I was so frightened that I couldn't speak, at this moment, I felt the hairs all over my body stand up, and my body was so cold that it felt no less than entering the refrigerator, and my body began to shiver uncontrollably.
Hu San was still calling me, but I still didn't recover from the fear and shock, and looked straight at him.
"Qingming, calm down, only you can save me now?"
After a long time, I asked, "Are you a human or a demon, and how did you get into the painting?" Hu San's stiff expression and moving lips were more terrifying than seeing a real monster.
"I don't know what's going on, as soon as I entered the curtain just now, I fainted, I didn't have any consciousness, I just woke up."
"Then, how can I save you!"
"Listen, this place may be set up by that monster, and now you do as I say, you cut off the head of that dry corpse and drain the blood from her throat." He paused, and gasped vigorously, "I seem to remember that the master said such a method of breaking the formation, I don't know if it works, you try it first, ouch, it's uncomfortable for me to die." ”
"Is there still blood after that's all a dry corpse?"
"Don't bother, hurry up and cut it, otherwise it's too late" Hu San's voice looked very painful.
"Okay, okay, don't worry." I hurriedly jumped to the stage and walked to the dry corpse, which was already very close to Hu San on the mural, but I didn't dare to look at him with a sideways face.
