Chapter 18 Retrospective (3)
When Scar Li mentioned this woman, his expression became a little unnatural, but he continued to speak:
When I saw Zhou Zhiruo, I still had a feeling of ape. She knelt down in front of me with a touch of horror in her eyes.
'Why are you here?' I asked, blankly.
Zhou Zhiruo smiled dismally and then said eloquently: "You are here to find the cause of your father's death, right?" ’
As soon as she finished speaking, I caught a glimpse of a hill-like grave behind her, which was more than five meters high, and all the graves were sprinkled with fine white sand, and there were no weeds on the whole grave.
I pointed to the grave in front of me and said, 'What kind of grave is this?' ’
Zhou Zhiruo nodded, then stood up from the ground with his hands propped up, and said with a long sigh: "This is an empty tomb, but it also has something to do with the Xingtian Ancient Tomb that you have been asking. ’
'How did you know I was looking for the Xingtian Ancient Tomb?' I suddenly - excellent - excellent - small - said - more - new - the most - fastest - WWW.UUXS.CC - thought of the father who had asked Zhou Zhiruo about the Xingtian Ancient Tomb, but what does this have to do with my father's tragic death and that monster?
'Huh. Zhou Zhiruo smiled miserably, and then said: "There are many things you won't understand, they have already come, and no one can escape." ’
'Who are they?' I was a little confused by what she said, who could this mysterious woman mean by 'they'?
Suddenly she suddenly looked up and said, 'I beg you for something.' Zhou Zhiruo's eyes kept looking at me with a moving look when she spoke, so I had no reason to refuse.
So I nodded, Zhou Zhiruo took out a red envelope from his pocket, the texture of the envelope was very special, it was smooth to the touch, and then rubbed it for a while before saying: 'Take this letter to Cao Yu Village in Qingyang County, Chizhou, Anhui Province, help me find a gentleman surnamed Jin, who is a native Langzhong, and then give him this letter, and he will understand it all after reading it. ’
I hesitated to take the letter, and at this moment Zhou Zhiruo held my hand tightly and whispered in my ear, 'You must leave the village tonight, this is an ominous place. ’
I looked at her dumbfounded, although what she said was amazing, but after all, I couldn't suddenly give up my entire family business and go to Chizhou, and I didn't know anything about Chizhou at that time, let alone what the hell that Cao Yu Village was.
I went to bed early that night after dinner, but I tossed and turned in bed for a long time and still didn't feel sleepy. Is there a secret hidden? What exactly was in that letter? Thinking of this, I suddenly sat up from the bed, and then quickly took out the red envelope that Zhou Zhiruo handed me.
The texture of this envelope is indeed very special, and when I look closely, there are still traces of small blood vessels on the cover, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arises, and I can't wait to know what is written in this strange letter, and I immediately open the letter.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation in my ears, the sound came from the direction of the Zhou family's compound, I hurriedly put down the letter in my hand, and rushed out with an arrow.
Because of the excessive force, I stumbled and fell to the ground, suddenly I felt some furry things trying to crawl on me, I quickly stood up, and I was startled at a glance, my hands were crawling with ants, I wanted to look around, the ants seemed to suddenly emerge from somewhere, crawling all over the yard. I quickly waved my arm to shake off the ants in my hand, and then rushed into the house and picked up the red envelope.
At this time, the shouting outside the house was getting louder and louder, it was almost deafening, I kicked the window open, and then jumped from the window to the wall, and the wall of my house was built against the cliff, and the ants had now begun to spread to the wall, and I knew that I could not wait any longer, so I immediately climbed up the cliff.
After climbing dozens of feet, I looked back and looked down, and under the miserable white high light, the whole village had been occupied by those ants who came from nowhere, and the shouts and screams were endless.
At this moment, suddenly the direction of the Zhou family's compound was on fire, and the courtyard was unusually calm, no one was in a commotion, and no one escaped from the Zhou family's compound that was already on fire. I swallowed, not knowing if it was luck or loss.
The ants below the hill had already begun to want the cliff to spread, and I quickly climbed up again, and at the same time crawled towards the outside of the village. At the same time I caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a dark shadow following me, and I stopped in a hollow in the cliff, holding my breath, and the black shadow was unaware of me, and kept speeding past me, moving very fast, and running straight to a cave not far away.
The situation was critical, and I didn't dare to make any moves, and after a pillar of incense, I suddenly found that the black shadow was running out of the cave again quickly, heading straight for the direction of the Zhou family's compound. I wondered what this monster was doing in that cave. So I ran in the direction where the monster had just been.
The cave is not big, but it is indeed the highest cave of Sanxiang Mountain, and it is rare to choose this place even if it is to erect a hanging coffin, so few people come. The closer you get to the cave, the smoother the cliff becomes, and there is almost no point of focus, so you can only stick your body to the cliff, and then use two fingers to clasp the tiny grooves to barely move forward.
I knew that if I was too slow, I would probably be attacked by the monster from behind, but my hand movements were still slow, and after about twenty minutes, I finally grabbed the two pieces of the hole with both hands, and then turned over with both arms.
The cave was indeed not large, about less than two meters in diameter, and the front was pitch black, such a place was not suitable for erecting a hanging coffin at all, but I climbed a few steps into it and felt that I had pressed a hard thing on my hand, which I was all too familiar with, it was a human bone.
Needless to say, the bone must have been taken by the monster, and I continued to walk forward, when suddenly something was pressed on my hand, and when I held it in my hand, it turned out to be several fragments of coffin boards, and the further I went, the more fragments there were.
I looked out alertly to make sure the monster hadn't returned, so I took out a fire break from behind me and blew it gently, and then the light of the fire break looked in.
The inner walls of the cave in front of me were very smooth, and in front of my eyes there were piles of fragments of the coffin, and the further I went, the denser those fragments became, and the innermost fragments were bitten into sawdust. This cave is only about 20 meters deep, and when I approached the innermost part of the cave, I suddenly saw some scattered cotton and some fragments of shrouds.
I walked softly inside, and found two black stones in the shards, which were neatly laid out in the cotton wool, and I knew that they must be the eggs left of the monster, so I put them in my pocket, rummaged through them, and found that there was nothing else, and I was about to turn away.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a frightening 'grunt' sound in my ears, and my heart sank suddenly, and my heart was over.
The first time the monster appeared, I heard the sound of 'grunt' in my ears, and now that the sound was behind me, I carefully drew my dagger, extinguished the fire in my hand, and slowly turned around. The thing was standing at the entrance of the cave, and the general outline of the monster could be seen by the light of the fire below the mountain.
It was a nowhere to find the iron shoes, I grabbed the dagger, but there was still no bottom in my heart, after all, I had seen the speed of this monster's attack, and my father fell to death under the beast's claws in the blink of an eye, and I had to admit that the strength in my hand was far from my father's.
But at this time, there is no way to retreat, and the left and right are dead, so it is better to risk your life to fight this monster. Once I had made up my mind, I was not as nervous as before, and I held my breath, my eyes fixed on the monster's every move, ready to strike at the monster by surprise.
I stepped back with a slight bow and stepped on the coffin board so that I could use my strength if I attacked my feet. The monster's body suddenly trembled slightly, presumably it was already preparing to attack me, I immediately waved the short knife in my hand, and at the same time exerted force on my feet, who knew that the fast coffin board under my feet slipped, and my whole body immediately lost its center of gravity.
And the monster in front of me also pounced on me in an instant, but the speed at which I fell was still a little faster than the speed at which it rushed over, only to hear the sound of 'whirring' in my ears, and then the black shadow flew over my head, and the strength of the monster could already be judged from the sound of the wind above my head.
If it weren't for the slip just now, I might have ended up with my father at this time, I didn't have time to think about it, I hurriedly supported my body with my hands, and then jumped to the mouth of the cave with my hind legs, and before I turned around, I heard the wind behind me, and the monster must have rushed over.
Time is not waiting, I leaned over the stone at the entrance of the cave with both hands, and flipped out at once, the monster is a monster after all, it may be too strong, and it flew out of the cliff for more than ten meters at once. I hung on the cliff with my backhand, and cold sweat was just pouring out of my back. Looking at the Zhou family's compound in front of me, it was completely engulfed by the raging sea of fire, and not only that, it seemed to be spreading to other people's homes, but what made me feel strange was that there was no shouting in the village at this moment.
Suddenly, from a distance, I saw a man dressed in black standing at the entrance of the village, followed by a strange brass bell, and the man walked slowly into the village.
Although the distance is very far, but it can be vaguely seen that the person is not too tall, he is holding a shiny knife in his left hand, the knife body is still exuding a cold air, and there is a bright copper bell dangling in his right hand, although the distance is very far, but the strange thing is that the copper bell seems to look particularly obvious.
