Chapter 248: The Boxer Rebellion, the Red Lantern Shines (Today's Chapter 1 Arrives)
He wanted to rush out, to rush into the hut to see what was going on, to see who the woman was.
But Wang Yizhong's and others' advice, fearful appearances, and rational aspirations made him endure again.
The woman's figure swayed, and suddenly, from behind her, another figure appeared, looking much thicker, it should be the figure of a man.
Then, he looked at the two black shadows on the window, looked at the man's black shadow, and suddenly reached out and crossed the woman's neck.
Chu Nan's heart shook slightly, looking at the two black shadows reflected in the window, watching the woman continue to struggle, and the man strangled the woman's neck.
Eventually, the woman's resistance became weaker and weaker, and she finally stopped moving.
After a while, the black shadow on the window seemed to be the man hammering something, and the sound of something being cut could be faintly heard in the whining wind.
"Could it be...... The man is dismembering the woman's body? Chu Nan's heart trembled, and the more he listened to it, the more he felt that this faint sound looked like he was sawing something with a hacksaw.
The yin wind around him blew stronger and stronger, and the sound was like a ghost crying wolf, Chu Nan leaned against the crack in the door, feeling the door being blown by the wind and constantly vibrating.
Suddenly, a bone-chilling chill surged in, and suddenly, Chu Nan's whole body seemed to be frozen, and it felt like a stream of icy sea water was submerged over his knees.
This feeling is like encountering the invasion of the evil consciousness outside the heavens that day.
Wang Yizhong and the others, who were huddled together and sitting around the fire, suddenly let out a frightened voice: "It's ...... coming."
The flame on the fire is suppressed, and the flame is oppressed by the invisible force and becomes extremely small. These people. They were all terrified.
Chu Nan felt this cold chill. As if he was about to completely submerge himself, suddenly, he suddenly opened the wooden door and rushed out.
"Whew-"
The wind howled, pouring in where his armor peeked out of his eyes.
Chu Nan felt a terrifying, weird, and inexplicable force enveloping him in all directions, and suddenly, his body suddenly became hot and hot.
Chu Nan understood the magnifying glass power of his own fusion. is playing a wonderful role, the feeling that it was almost freezing began to fade, Chu Nan gritted his teeth and rushed directly to the haunted house, wanting to see what was going on.
He grabbed the jade sword in his right hand, and directly took out the wolf smoke bottle with his left hand, just in case.
In all directions, the surging invisible and cold aura became more and more terrifying, and Chu Nan launched the "armor defense" of the blue armor. His whole body emitted a blue glow, and he rushed to the front of the haunted house in an instant.
The wooden door of the haunted house shook violently. It could also be clearly seen covered with cobwebs, and Chu Nan raised his foot violently and kicked heavily at the shaking wooden door.
There was a "whew" and a kick in the air, as the wooden door slammed open first.
Chu Nan suddenly stopped and did not rush in.
In the center of this haunted house, there was only a wooden table covered with dust and cobwebs, and there was indeed a candle lit on the table, which was flickering in the darkness, and the wind howling outside could not blow out the candle.
However, apart from the wooden table and candles, there were no men or women at all, and there were no cases of men killing women and dismembering their bodies.
The inexplicable weirdness made Chu Nan suddenly dare not rush in, and almost at the same moment, a terrible scream suddenly came from behind.
Chu Nan's heart froze, and he turned his head suddenly, and the voice came from the humble house where Wang Yizhong and the others were hiding.
"Bang", suddenly, the originally open wooden door slammed shut, followed by a strange woman's laughter in this haunted house, in the laughter, the candle flame flickered, and a huge black shadow suddenly emerged from the haunted house, overflowing in all directions.
Chu Nan roared and retreated suddenly, with a shocked look on his face, looking at the wood of the haunted house swaying continuously, and a thick white mist was sprayed out from inside, no longer hesitating, he hurriedly turned around and rushed towards the humble house where Wang Yizhong and the others were.
And in that house, there was already a second terrible and terrible scream.
Chu Nan swept ten meters, and soon rushed in, only to find that the seemingly shabby house was covered with blood, and the two corpses were directly hung above, and the others were all curled up together, all of them were shocked and colorless, staring blankly at the two people who were hanged above.
The two corpses were hanged in the air, as if there were two invisible ropes wrapped around their necks in the air.
Chu Nan had just rushed in, and suddenly found that Yu Yizhong, who was huddled together and was so shocked that there was no color, suddenly let out a miserable scream, and grabbed his neck with both hands, as if there was something on his neck, and his whole body was floating, as if there was an invisible force pulling and about to hang him up.
Chu Nan couldn't see anything, he let out a long roar suddenly, and an arrow rushed in, and grabbed Wang Yizhong, who was about to float, and his whole body, from head to toe, was hot, and the jade sword in his right hand was split into the void.
A green glow filled the entire house.
Although he couldn't see anything, his jade sword really felt like he had cut something, and Wang Yizhong, who was originally screaming miserably, suddenly fell down heavily.
Just after saving Wang Yizhong, Chu Nan suddenly felt a sinking in his body, and suddenly seemed like something was pressing him.
With a long roar, the yellow light in his body exploded, Chu Nan clenched his left hand into a fist, launched a gold explosion, and smashed heavily into the void.
"Boom" There were two huge explosions in a row, and Chu Nan suddenly felt that there was a huge force in this house that rushed out, and he was scratched by this force, and fell heavily and rolled out.
I barely turned around and got up, but I saw that the haunted house had approached within twenty meters of the house at some point, and around the haunted house, there were bulging earth bags, like burial graves, and stone tablets were inserted on them.
In four directions, four stone tombs suddenly appeared, enclosing the haunted house in the middle.
Above the haunted house, the wind howled, and the sound grew louder and louder, as if it was about to tear apart.
Chu Nan's eyes widened, and he suddenly understood in his heart that this haunted house and this tomb seemed to represent different powers, and now, these two completely supernatural forces seemed to be competing.
The wood of the haunted house was constantly vibrating violently, the candle flame was flickering and extinguishing, and the black shadow inside was expanding outward, and bursts of strange laughter like women kept coming out.
The four tombs and stone monuments were blocked in all directions, motionless, and there was no mystery to be seen, but the black shadow of the haunted house that was overflowing above was faintly distorted by an invisible force.
Wang Yizhong escaped from death and was rescued by Chu Nan, frightened, maybe because he had died once, he suddenly became bolder, and he actually ran to Chu Nan's side, and when he saw the scene outside, he shouted in shock: "Mass grave." ”
Chu Nan's heart moved, and he said, "Those four graves are mass graves?" ”
"Yes...... Those graves were originally in mass graves, and those stone monuments ...... I recognize the words...... You see...... That...... The stele...... Red light...... According to ......" Wang Yizhong spoke, intermittently.
Chu Nan's heart was shocked, and he looked towards the stone stele, and sure enough, he vaguely saw that it was engraved with the three traditional characters of "red light illumination" on it, and he was puzzled, and suddenly found that the graves of these four tombs actually emitted black smoke.
Among the four puffs of black smoke, each arched a red lantern, shining in the darkness, swaying, and rising in the black smoke arch.
Chu Nan's eyes widened, looking at the four puffs of black smoke shaking, and the human figure was faintly visible, and suddenly, one of the red lanterns flew out violently and smashed into the haunted house in the center.
The lantern slammed into the haunted house and exploded violently, spewing out a large number of fireworks with a bang, almost as powerful as a small grid bomb exploding, and completely engulfing the haunted house in an instant.
Chu Nan was thrilled to see, and the other people who were originally crowded together, because Chu Nan could save Wang Yizhong, who was about to die, slowly changed in their hearts, and many people actually had some courage and quietly squeezed over to look out.
"The red light shines...... Boxer...... Back then, legend has it that in this area, there were many red lights of the Boxers shining on the fairy girls...... They all died here...... It was quietly buried by the residents of this area, forming what became the mass grave...... Legend...... If you enter the grave, you will not be allowed to go out of the ......."
Wang Yizhong's lips trembled and he muttered.
Chu Nan listened to it in his ears, his heart shook slightly, and he finally understood what the "red light shine" engraved on the stone tablet meant.
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a large-scale patriotic movement under the slogan "Eradication of the Qing Dynasty and the Elimination of the Foreigners", which was mainly aimed at Western missionaries in China, including missionaries and Christians, but later failed under the joint strangulation of the Qing Dynasty and foreign coalition forces.
In the Boxer Rebellion, there was a red lantern organization, and the members of the organization were all women, because they were dressed in red clothes, holding a red folding fan in their left hand and a red lantern in their right hand, so they were called red lanterns.
The red light of the elder sister Lin Heier is called the "Yellow Lotus Holy Mother", the legend is boundless, holding the red folding fan slowly fan, you can rise to the sky, fly freely in the air, the right hand of the red light thrown to where, where is a sea of fireworks, its power is like the current bomber.
Chu Nan had also heard some rumors about this, and had always thought that it was just what these members of the red light had said for the sake of mythology of the Yellow Lotus Holy Mother, but now looking at the scene in front of him, he faintly felt that the exaggerations in those rumors were not completely unfounded.
The haunted house was engulfed in flames, burning so hard that it kept making a crackling sound, the wooden door slammed more and more violently, and the black shadows reflected in the windows became bigger and bigger, almost expanding and rushing out of the haunted house.
Suddenly, another red lantern is thrown and hits the haunted house.
This frame is obviously intended to completely burn down this haunted house.
The second red lantern struck the haunted house, causing another big explosion, and the haunted house spewed out a terrible black mist, extinguishing the flames that were rising outside, and the wooden house, followed by a violent tumble on the spot, and hit one of the stone tablets with a bang.
