Chapter 25: The Discovery of the Burial Pit 06
Before the duck yolk jumped out of the clouds, Xiaoliu and I took Jiang Yiling to a very hidden cave at the back of the village, because there were some "people" in the village, these people were all dressed in white, with long hair covering their faces, and their steps were light and silent.
The cave was excavated by hand, and in the rubble at the entrance I could see rusty iron tools, fragments of older lacquerware, and various brightly colored but mutilated terracotta figurines.
Jiang Yiling was still in a comatose state, while Xiao Liu and I were sitting side by side on a big rock, and he lit a bonfire, and suddenly the warmth hit, and the original fatigue was relieved a lot.
"You"
"Me"
"You speak first."
Xiao Liu hesitated and said, "Do you believe that I have lived for more than four thousand years?" ”
I nodded, shook my head again, and looked at him with a blank expression.
"What do you mean by this nodding and shaking your head?"
I didn't know what to say for a while, so I thought for a moment and said, "I nodded because I believed in you and my first half, and I shook my head not to believe the second half of what you said." ”
Xiao Liu laughed and said, "Do you believe that what Xiao Yi gave you is the real Golden Phoenix Zhaowen Yubi, but you don't believe that I have lived for more than four thousand years?"
I nodded and said, "Don't you know that?" ”
Xiaoliu looked at his watch and said, "My time is running out, as soon as the day dawns, I will disappear, and the other one will wake up from sleep." ”
I looked at him stunned, "And then?" ”
Xiaoliu said: "I have indeed lived for more than 4,000 years, my real name is Xiao, is the eldest son of Xiao Changjun of Xiadu County, when I was seven years old, I accompanied my father to Fengming Mountain Qifengpo to visit the master, on the way I met a woman holding a newborn baby girl, the woman was dressed in black clothes and black veil to cover her face, she handed over the baby girl to my father and jumped off the cliff to die. ”
I exclaimed, "What? He's dead? ”
Xiao Liu said: "It should be dead, because it is really difficult to live in that abyss." ”
I hummed and continued listening.
"The woman suddenly jumped off the cliff, and my father didn't have time to react, so he could only stand on the edge of the cliff with the baby girl in his arms, and I just knelt on the edge of the cliff and kept looking down."
"And then?"
Xiao Liu glanced back at Jiang Yiling and said: "Later, my father took the baby girl and me to Shizun's residence, where my father told Shizun the ins and outs of the matter, but I didn't expect that Shizun's face changed at that time, he untied the swaddling clothes to look at the girl's shoulder, and then asked my father to kill the baby girl immediately, and I couldn't tell anyone about it." ”
I exclaimed again, "What? Killed? ”
Xiao Liu nodded and said: "Yes, because the master said that this baby girl is the incarnation of the devil, and people who are not demonic cannot leave in the world, and the mark on her shoulder represents a totem, which shows that the identity of this baby girl is extremely noble, and it cannot be kept." ”
"Although my father agreed to the request of the master at that time, he was still unpopular after all, and secretly took the baby girl back to the house, and found someone to take care of it, everything went smoothly, but I didn't expect that night, the cry of the baby girl attracted a large number of people in black, they killed all the family members and servants in my house, and in the end even my father and brother were not spared, and I was because I secretly went to see the baby girl, so I was not found."
"Not found?" I asked.
"Yes, because my father was worried that the baby girl would be discovered by the master, so he hid the baby girl in the secret room."
I touched Mo's forehead, "So that's the case, just because you went to see the baby, so you happened to be in the secret room, and you escaped the catastrophe, so what happened later?"
Xiao Liu glanced at Jiang Yiling again, and at this time, her eyebrows moved slightly, Xiao Liu lowered her voice, and said: "Later, I took the baby girl to find Shizun, but I was worried that Shizun would kill the baby girl, so I kept wandering on Qifeng Slope, and as a result, I fell into a hole by mistake, and when I woke up, I found myself in a huge palace, the Netherworld Palace." ”
When I heard the three words of the Netherworld, I felt a sigh in my heart, to be honest, these three words were almost engraved in my heart, but it was not a beautiful memory, but a kind of fate that cannot be described in words.
Xiao Liu looked up, sighed, and said, "It's almost dawn, you take the spirit of the Memories from this cave, if nothing else, you will pass through a burial pit, where you need to obtain a white bone to reach the Falling Cloud Cave smoothly."
I just wanted to speak, but I saw that his eyes were closed, leaning against the rock wall and snoring, but Jiang Yiling woke up, she looked at her hands and then looked around, and asked me, "Are they coming?" ”
"Who?"
Jiang Yiling was stunned for a moment, didn't say much, got up and walked out of the cave, I stopped her, and she seemed to be very clear about what was happening outside, and waved my hand to ask me not to follow anymore, but I followed out of worry.
The outside of the cave is gray, this is the shortest moment before dawn, but also the most depressing moment, the village below is also beginning to see its shape, it is a layout similar to the word Tian, the buildings on each main line are larger than the others, especially the intersection in the middle, the house is particularly conspicuous, from my point of view, its roof actually looks like a mound.
Jiang Yiling looked at her watch with an anxious face, as if she was waiting for someone, I asked her again what happened, I thought she would ignore me again, but I didn't expect her to point to the mountain road looming in the fog below the mountain, and said: "Yesterday, our convoy accidentally broke into a ghost area, the engines all turned off, and many people mysteriously disappeared in the dense fog, Jiang Yuan and I found that we had lost our way when we rushed out of the fog. ”
"And then?" I was a little anxious, "What about Jiang Yuan?" ”
Jiang Yiling looked at the mountain road below the mountain and said: "I don't know, he and I were scattered by those monsters, and when I fled to the bottom of the mountain, I happened to meet Qianyu and your friend, they went up the mountain to find Jiang Yuan, and then took you out of there and waited for them in a village." ”
She said, her eyes kept looking back and forth on the mountain road, I was also very anxious, and at this time I suddenly saw someone's shadow shaking under the mountain, I was happy and immediately went down, and Jiang Yiling was much calmer than me, she stood on the side of the road and watched for a moment, and then immediately rushed down and pulled me to the cave, I didn't react, I was pulled by her and fell down directly, but Jiang Yiling was really strong, and he picked me up directly with one hand, and dragged me into the cave, and at the same time kicked up Xiao Liu, who was sleeping, The kid was probably dreaming, and when he was kicked by Jiang Yiling, he immediately stood up, looked around vigilantly, and tilted his head to look at us after confirming that it was the two of us, "What's wrong?" ”
