Chapter 31: The Gambling Contract

Inside the Council Chamber.

The robed elder we had seen during the day sat on a square bench covered with animal skins, his gaze swept over several of us one by one, and finally rested on Pan Haigen's face.

This is the Great Elder Moir in the mouth of everyone, behind him, standing Su He, who brought us, and there are also a few dignified people sitting on both sides, thinking about it, they should all be the elders of their clan.

And since we entered the council hall, we have been in a situation of being watched, and at this time, the Great Elder's eyes were shining on Pan Haigen's body, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Hello Elder Moyle, we are explorers from afar, and we have come here to study some ancient secrets and study the past ......history of this land," Pan Haigen said, but the other party did not react.

He paused, and then continued: "Of course, we belong to a state department, and this expedition is also completely confidential, and this time we came here completely by accident, and we are very happy and happy to be your friends." ”

Pan Haigen's words were very earnest and very listening, and after hearing this, Great Elder Moyle slowly spoke: "Su He has already told you where you came from, but we here, although there have been occasional outsiders here for a hundred years, we all have to abide by a rule. ”

"What rules? Great Elder, please speak. Pan Haigen said with a smile, I couldn't help but glance at him, his current watch is more like a scientist, not like a tomb robber at all.

"The rule is that we have always been able to get in and out of this cow village. Whoever comes here, must stay forever. ”

When he said this, I couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly glanced at Pan Haigen, but before he could speak, Da Kui next to him had already blurted out: "Then what if we have to leave?" ”

The Great Elder Moir squinted his eyes and said, "Hehe, if we have to leave, we won't force us to stay, it's just that if people are alive, they must stay, and when people die, they can go out." ”

This is clearly a sue to us, this place is a Jedi, Pan Haigen frowned slightly, did not speak, seemed to be thinking about something, that Su He was behind the Great Elder Moyle, but his face was surprised, he looked at the Great Elder, and stopped talking.

I couldn't help but say, "What does the Great Elder mean is that we want to stay and spend our lives here?" However, a few of us only came here to investigate, and were inadvertently brought by you, and we didn't break in by ourselves, and we didn't interfere with your life, why do you want us to stay? ”

The Great Elder turned his head to look at me and looked me up and down a few times before he said to me, "You should be punished for trespassing into the forbidden land of the Heavenly Tomb, didn't you see the words on the stone tablet when you entered the valley mouth?" The forbidden place of the heavenly tomb, the trespasser dies. I'm willing to let you stay, it's a special case. ”

Forbidden Place?

My heart was suddenly awe-struck, and I hurriedly glanced at Pan Haigen, and I couldn't help but think of the stone monument at the mouth of the valley before entering this plain. However, although there seemed to be words on the stele at that time, it was blurry and messy, and it was impossible to make out at all.

Pan Haigen opened his mouth and said, "Great Elder, I'm sorry, I think you misunderstood. The so-called ignorant are not guilty, when we came in, we did see the stele, but we didn't see any words on it, the stele was not only covered by wild grass and vines, but it seemed to have been damaged, and nothing could be seen clearly. ”

The Great Elder shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, in the past hundred years, countless people have broken into here, but none of them have been able to return alive. ”

Before he finished speaking, Su He suddenly whispered: "But Great Elder, Brother An......"

The Great Elder did not ignore his words, and continued to speak slowly: "I know that you have come all the way here to find the forbidden place of the Heavenly Tomb, but do you know that there is no return to that place, it is a Jedi, and those who go there not only die extremely miserably, but also have no peace of mind after death. I want you to stay, but I'm actually saving you. ”

As soon as his voice fell, Pan Haigen suddenly said, "If we promise to leave this place immediately, where to go back and forth, can the Great Elder agree?" ”

The Great Elder fell silent, then suddenly looked up at us, and said in a somewhat strange voice, "If you can really keep the secret of this place forever, I can also let you go back, but ...... You guys, you need to leave something behind to show your sincerity. ”

"What's that?"

"Hehe, that thing, that is, each of you, may have to leave one of the three souls and seven spirits, or one soul." After the Great Elder said this, his eyes, which had been squinting slightly, suddenly opened, and a cold color shot out of his gaze, staring at our faces.

Leave a soul or a soul?

Are you kidding!

I almost jumped up, the human body has three souls and seven spirits, each has its own responsibilities, cooperate with each other, if there is a soul or a soul, people will be mentally disordered, deranged, and even lose memory, lose a certain body function.

What he said was easy, but how could these three souls and seven spirits be left casually?

"The Great Elder wants us to leave a soul and a soul, it's too easy to say, hehe, if we really agree, it is estimated that we will not be able to return at all, are you kidding us?"

Pan Haigen naturally understood the reason, raised his head and replied, a trace of fierceness had flashed in his eyes, and one hand had been slightly raised, close to his chest.

I knew that his gun was there, Da Kui and Zhang Ye and a few others didn't speak, but they had already come closer, and at the same time, their feet were slightly apart, their hands were drooping, and they all put on a posture of shooting at any time.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of giggling outside, and when I looked back, I saw a woman stumbling in at the door, with a disheveled hair, disheveled clothes, and a dull face, eating and laughing from time to time.

The Great Elder's face changed abruptly, and he said in a low voice, "Who let her in, Su He, pull her out." ”

Su He was already frowning when the woman came in, and was about to step forward when she heard the words, but the woman had already seen a few of us, her expression was suddenly frozen, and she suddenly rushed up, grabbed my arm and said with a smile: "Brother An, you are Brother An, why are you here, hurry, come with me, let's leave here......"

This woman's hair is scattered in front of her forehead, revealing half of her face, I see that although she is a little crazy, she is quite delicate, but her eyes show a look of dementia, but if you clean it up, she is also a good woman.

Only one eye was exposed, and he grabbed me tightly, and he actually had a lot of strength, and he wanted to pull me out.

I was stunned by this sudden change, and hurriedly shook my hand and said: "You recognize the wrong person, I'm not Brother An, you let go of me, you ......"

Su He jumped over in one step, grabbed the woman and said softly: "Ah Li, don't make trouble, Brother An is not here, I'll take you to count the stars, okay?" Let's ......."

The woman was torn off by him, and suddenly raised her head and face, as if she was about to have a seizure. But at this moment, I saw that the other half of her face was covered with pimple scars, like red worms crawling on her face, which was terrifying to look at and chill in my heart.

Su He grabbed her, and walked out without breaking up, the woman was still waving her arms and shouting nonsense, but she was quickly pulled away.

Inexplicably, the big elder's face was dark, and he was silent for a long time, and everyone in the room was silent, and no one dared to say anything, but looking at the look in their eyes, they seemed to be quite afraid.

It's strange, that woman is a little crazy at best, and her face is injured, so she shouldn't be so afraid, right?

I wondered in my heart, but I saw that Su He had already turned around and walked back, and whispered to the Great Elder: "I have already asked Ah Li to be sent back, and it is locked as usual, but I don't know if she will ...... tonight."

The Great Elder waved his hand a little weakly, and said, "Everyone has also seen it, Ah Li's situation is becoming more and more unpredictable, let's stop here today, and tomorrow morning, just do what I said before." You guys, you can go back and rest. ”

He actually let us go back like this, Pan Haigen asked with some puzzlement: "The Great Elder just let us go, not afraid that we will run away at night?" ”

The Great Elder glanced up at us, and suddenly laughed strangely, and said in a somewhat erratic voice, "We might as well make a bet, I won't rob you of your weapons, and I won't let people guard against you, if you can run out, you will win." ”

"Oh? We won, so what? Pan Haigen asked.

"Hehe, if you win, come and go freely, I will never stop you, if you lose, you have to follow what I just said, everyone leaves a soul and a soul."

The Great Elder stared at us, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a strange smile......
