Chapter 286: Headless Statue
Although I had been prepared in my heart, when I heard the news that the patriarch was dead, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, and Su Xi and Mi Jia were also stunned. Dancing eBook
The young man was stunned when he saw us. After a while, Abei's father came to urge us, the patriarch of Miao Village was killed, and the old man in the village asked us to hurry to Nuwa Temple, and I had a few words to ask.
The importance of the head of a clan to the Miao people is self-evident, and now Li Lizhai must have exploded.
Su Xi asked worriedly, "How is Ah Bei now?" ”
I have experienced the loss of relatives several times in a row, I really don't know if that little girl can stand it, the Miao people have a strong family concept. The relationship between the family is also very close.
At this time, I caught a glimpse of Abba's wooden face. couldn't help but say: "Uncle, you have to mourn and change." ”
He raised his head blankly, looked at me in confusion for a few seconds, and then nodded suddenly and said, "Okay." ”
The people of status in the village have already gathered in the Nuwa Temple. I can't keep these people waiting too long. Daddy Ah Bei didn't seem to have any opinions, so we said let's go, and he nodded and showed us the way in front.
Abba's body is a little rickety, compared to other men of the same age in the village, he seems to be much older, I have seen the patriarch, he is indeed very beautiful, I really don't know how to marry a man like Aba with her identity.
He and the young man walked in front, Mijia and Su Xi were on my left and on my right, the three of us walked side by side, no one spoke on the road, and the atmosphere was very strange.
"Do you think there's something wrong with him?" After walking like this for a while, Mika finally couldn't hold her breath. Asked me softly.
I nodded: "The patriarch is dead, he has no sadness at all, even if he doesn't like this patriarch's wife, he should have some other expressions, but he has a poker face." ”
At this time, I saw the Nuwa Temple appear in front of me, and the vicinity of the Nuwa Temple was full of torches, illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime. The Nuwa Temple was originally intended for the singers who came from the distant hills, but now the people of Lilizhai arranged for these guests to live in their own homes, and vacated the Nuwa Temple to park the body of the patriarch.
Seeing the Temple of Female Calamity, our footsteps were a little faster. The distance between me and Aba is getting closer and closer, but the more I look at it, the more I feel that something is wrong with him, Su Xi asked me what's wrong, why is his face so ugly, I asked him if he can feel that there is something wrong with Abei Abba, Su Xi stared at Abba's back carefully for a while, and then shook his head at me.
Ever since I became a descendant of the spirit robe, my instincts were amazing, and I was about to take a few more glances at Abba, when he suddenly turned back and told us to follow closely, but at the same time I saw that his eyes were bulging out, his mouth was wide open, and his face was bruised, and he was motionless, looking like a living person.
That lasted for less than a second, and by the time I looked at it again, Abba was back to normal. Su Xi and Mi Jia didn't see this scene and asked me what's wrong? I was full of doubts, but I shook my head and said it was okay.
We continued walking, and when we reached the gate of the Nuwa Temple, Ah Bei and Abba suddenly stopped, waited for us to approach, and said to us, "When we arrive, after entering the Nuwa Temple, you must not say anything disrespectful to Nuwa." ”
I don't know if I have a preconceived notion, but when I look at his face at this time, it is so pale that there is no blood, and I feel even more abnormal.
Mika nudged me, "What are you thinking?" Get on in. ”
I woke up and hurriedly stepped into the Nuwa Temple, which was much more gloomy than the outside of the temple, there were no electric lights, but long candles were lit, and when we entered the door, we brought in a gust of wind, and the candles in the temple were blown by the wind.
This atmosphere is really weird, Su Xi nervously pinched my sleeve, and I comforted her: "The patriarch was a reasonable person when he was alive, and he wouldn't be angry with us when he died, don't be afraid." ”
That being said, I was actually very apprehensive in my heart, carefully recalling what happened yesterday, especially when Su Xi and I entered the Holy Maiden Cave, when we were climbing on the cliff, the person who grabbed Su Xi's feet was the patriarch, and the patriarch should still be alive at that time, because her head was still there, if I could find it in time at that time, maybe I could save her, but at that time I was still suspecting that the patriarch was the murderer.
I don't know if the patriarch who died tragically will be as reasonable as when he was alive......
While talking, we have come to the statue of Nuwa in the Nuwa Temple, and at a glance, we are seeing the statue of the goddess Nuwa in the middle of the temple.
However, the statue seems to be a little weird......
The idol is so tall that the body alone occupies an entire wall, and the rest of the space cannot fit the head, so that the neck of the goddess is bent forward, showing a "C" shape, and the head of the goddess is stretched forward next to the roof, and we stand in front of the idol, and the statue of Nuwa is looking down on us with compassion above our heads.
"Stranger, this is the great god of Nuwa in our Miao Village, but you can keep you away from filth and bad luck, kneel down and worship the great god of Nuwa." When the old woman saw us coming, she asked us to bring us a few futons, but there was no expression on her face, and her drooping eyelids were not lifted.
I looked up at Nuwa's half-open and half-closed eyes, and it seemed that I really felt Nuwa's compassion, and even if I was not a believer, I felt a sense of peace in my heart.
We took the futon and kowtowed to Nuwa three times according to the Han custom, hoping that her old man could really bless the three of us in this weird Miao village.
The Miao people really respect Nuwa, and when we kowtowed, everyone else collectively stopped talking, and even the breathing sound was much quieter. We bowed our heads one by one, and these pious Miao people also held down their chests and bowed respectfully to Nuwa.
Our trip to Yunnan was particularly unsmooth, and a large part of the reason was that the people in Lili Village thought that we were strangers who brought strange things, so they regarded us as ominous people and were unwilling to cooperate with us. I hope these few rings can make the pious Miao people see the face of the great god Nuwa and be friendly to us, so that I can find the ring soon.
After the three rings, I don't know if it was my mental effect, I felt that the tone of the old woman's speech to us seemed to have eased a little.
"Tell me where you found Yuyun." The old woman said.
"Just yesterday, I had something to do with the patriarch, so I went to the back mountain to look for her, but she was not in the bamboo building in the back mountain, I looked for her everywhere, and I found her under the cliff." I hid our entry into the cave of the Holy Maiden, and told me all about the discovery of the patriarch.
After listening to my statement, the villagers exploded at once. What shocked them the most was the death of the patriarch, which was too similar to the previous corpses, it was like the same person's means, but the murderer, who was Ah Bei's second uncle, had already been executed to death. Fork co-blood.
"Could it be related to the curse?" I asked tentatively.
"What curse? What have you heard? As soon as I heard the word curse, the old woman's unwavering old face showed a trace of horror, probably afraid that the expression would be too obvious to show the horse's feet, this trace of horror flashed, but when it came to the back, she couldn't help but ask me anxiously.
The first time I saw her panicked, I deliberately said: "Legend has it that there is a ring dedicated to the god Nuwa in Lili Village, if this ring is lost, there will be a terrible murder in the village, didn't it happen twenty years ago?" ”
I say this because I want to probe the old woman's voice and see if we can find out where the ring is, because we have turned the cave of the Holy Maiden upside down, but we have found nothing.
The old woman was stunned, pointed at me with a trembling hand, and could not say a word for a long time. Judging from the old woman's reaction, I knew that this matter would definitely not be fake, and eighty percent of it had nothing to do with her.
"Grandma, what happened twenty years ago? How did we not know? A middle-aged woman asked hesitantly, and the others followed suit, their eyes full of questions.
I wondered at the moment, how could the villagers not know about this?
At this time, the old woman was already so angry that I stood up, I was stunned, I was very afraid of her elusive Gu poison, and looked at him with twelve points of vigilance.
She only panicked for a few seconds, and then returned to her usual calm face, and said to everyone: "This is a rumor, it is a rumor that other villagers are attacking us, we worship the great god Nuwa so devoutly, how can we be cursed?" ”
From the second she panicked, I knew that what Cai Li said twenty years ago was true.
However, the people of Miao Village believed in her, and I knew that now was not the best time to challenge the authority of the old woman, so I asked the old woman how to deal with the murder of the patriarch Yuyun, and at the same time, I reminded her as half a police officer that this was a murder and must be reported to the police to investigate.
But the old woman didn't agree, and asked me a few more questions, and when it was confirmed that I really had nothing to do with the case of the patriarch's murder, she asked Abei's father to take us back. I didn't want to spend too much time with Ah Bei's father, and as soon as I left the temple gate, I said that it would be good for us to go back by ourselves, and he turned around and went back to the temple of female calamity.
After he left, Su Xi turned around and stared at him to leave, I asked Su Xi what was wrong?
Su Xi was stunned for a moment, and then asked me if I felt that something was wrong? I asked her what she was referring to. Su Xi said: "That Nuwa Temple, if you don't look up, Nuwa seems to have only one body, I feel very uncomfortable when I see it, it's so strange." ”
"What?" I was amazed, carefully recalling the picture I saw in the Nuwa Temple, it was really what Su Xi said.
Mika frowned, "Could this have anything to do with the recent homicide?" ”
