Chapter 23: The Curse
At that time, Zhao Erye was still young, and he did it himself.
That mountain stream, located in the reckless mountains deep in western Yunnan, Zhao Erye surveyed a lot of information and determined that there was once a 'Tomb of the Giant Ear King' in it, and he was running for the Giant Ear King Tomb at that time.
Who knew that the king's tomb was very bizarre, with natural hazards and countless strange mechanisms, with his ability and experience at the time, he could not even enter the periphery, so he had to return with a feather.
On the way back, he met a dead man who had fallen in a mountain stream.
The dead man had more than a dozen arrows and crossbows stuck in his body, covered in blood, and there was nothing around him.
In such a place, how can someone die from a crossbow?
Zhao Erye immediately stepped forward to check, not to see if the person was dead, but to see the specifications of the arrow crossbow, and couldn't help but be shocked at a glance, this is an ancient crossbow arrow, made of iron, which is the most common one among the secret crossbow mechanisms in the tomb.
The dead man was a companion, and he must have been to a nearby tomb, so he died of his injuries.
Zhao Erye thought of a possibility, and thought: Could it be the tomb of the Giant Ear King? He was young and vigorous at the time, and he was very unconvinced, he brought so many people with him, and he couldn't even enter the periphery, why did this young man go in? In anger, he kicked the corpse.
At this moment, the young man suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him coldly.
Zhao Erye's heart trembled, thinking that it was a corpse, and immediately took a step back. But he soon found out from experience that this was not a corpse fraud. The man is not dead. Second Master Zhao is not a good stubble, he feels that although this person is not dead, he will definitely not live long. So he thought about how to enter the tomb of the Giant Ear King before he died.
The young man only said one sentence: "If you want to know, save me first." β
Second Master Zhao was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "You have such a serious injury, and the immortals can't cure it when they come." β
This young man is the clichΓ©.
He was a very cold person, he had never smiled from beginning to end, and there seemed to be a flash of murder in his cold eyes, which was extremely terrifying. Second Master Zhao was stared at by him, and he actually felt a little unconfident in his heart.
When he refused, he didn't dwell on his arguments, as if he couldn't do anything, he closed his eyes and became like a corpse.
Zhao Erye was unwilling to return home, so he could only pin his hope on Chen Ci, so he tried his best to rescue. More than a dozen dark crossbows, deep in the mountains, without medical equipment, although they barely hung Chen's life, but if they want to live, unless a miracle happens.
That night, Chen Ci woke up, and Second Master Zhao immediately asked him to tell him how to enter the tomb of the Giant Ear King. Chen Ci stared at him and said coldly: "If you go in, you will end up like me." Let's go for twenty years of cultivation. β
Speaking of this, Second Master Zhao smiled and said, "Counting it, this year is exactly twenty years. β
Tofu has always had little roots, and immediately asked, "Could it be that you plan to go to the tomb of the Giant Ear King this time?" Why is it called giant ears? Could it be that the owner of the tomb has big ears, could it be that he is the ancestor of Mickey Mouse? β
Second Master Zhao was stunned for a moment, probably because he had never seen a person like Tofu who couldn't speak well and was unreliable, so he was stunned before he said, "Of course not." β
He went in later, he was younger than he was at the time, and he was greedy for headshots, where would he be scared. He didn't say anything about it. On the contrary, after the young man finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Erye was obsessed, so he glanced at him coldly, and then told Zhao Erye the story of the two people.
These two stories are the stories of the previous flying knife Bai Lao Si and my grandfather Chen Siyuan.
However, the story of the statement is more comprehensive and complete. It was precisely because of two events in this story that my grandfather and father died one after another.
The cause of the incident has to start with the golden coffin of the Ten Thousand Demon Concubines.
It was a demon tomb.
These are the original words of Bai Laosi.
At that time, there were seven people in the group, and only Bai Laosi and Yang Fang were left who died in the tomb, and at the last moment, the two hit the golden coffin.
I saw a lifelike female corpse in the coffin, dressed in a robe woven with gold and silver threads, interspersed with phoenix patterns, ivory golden lotus ball boots, a phoenix crown on her head, and her bare hands, and her skin was as white and tender as before her death.
After the golden coffin was opened, the treasures buried in it shone brightly, but among the treasures, the most eye-catching thing was a jade mask as thin as a cicada's wings covered with the female corpse's face.
This jade mask is green in color, without impurities, covering the face of the female corpse, and even the face of the female corpse can be seen clearly, but perhaps it is due to the corpse qi of the dead, and the eyes of the mask happen to be dyed with a stained color, just like the female corpse opened her eyes and was staring at the two of them through the jade mask.
Legend has it that the demon power of the Ten Thousand Demon Concubine comes from her mask, and since entering the Ten Thousand Demon Tomb, Bai Laosi has seen too many bizarre things, and at this moment, when he looks at the mask, he actually has a faint chill in his heart.
He remembered the stone monument he had seen when he entered the mausoleum.
There is an inscription on the stele, but at the end of the inscription, there is a creepy curse.
Anyone who disturbs the peaceful sleep of the ten thousand demon concubines will wear the 'ghost face', suffer the extreme suffering of the world, decay of luck, and cut off cigarettes. At that time, he had speculated that the face of the ghost would refer to the mask worn by the Ten Thousand Demon Concubines?
Yang Fang once said that there is nothing in the tomb, as long as the face of the ghost, what is the use of this thing?
Wear a mask on your face? The things that the dead have brought are also dyed with color, and they will wear them on their faces unless they have a disease in their heads.
As soon as this thought flashed through him, Yang Fang on the side actually reached out and grabbed the face of the female corpse, as if he wanted to take off the mask. Bai Laosi was taken aback and shouted, "Bastard! "Tomb robbing is a technical job, but also a peculiar profession. They disturb the sleep of the deceased, invade the spirits of the dead, but they are afraid of ghosts and gods.
Tomb robbers open the coffin and touch the corpse, not directly take things, and there is a very superstitious procedure in it.
For example, burning incense, bowing, scolding ghosts, receiving charms, copying corpses, holding breath, etc., the doorways are different from the north and the south, of course, some thieves do not abide by these rules, they do not know these rules, they like to do brute force. But a family inheritance like Zhao Erye, or the veteran 'palm eyes' in the circle, have encountered a lot of weirdness, so they pay great attention to the rules left by the ancestors.
Behavior like Yang Fang is a big taboo in the eyes of veterans. Yang Fang himself, a veteran in the circle, a tyrant in Luoyang, why would he make such a fatal mistake?
And Bai Laosi couldn't stop it, Yang Fang had already taken off his mask in an instant, and then put it on his face. For some reason, at that moment, Bai Laosi felt an unprecedented, unknown fear of flowers.
And the female corpse that was masked off turned into ashes in an instant.
The female corpse turned to ashes, so it was impossible to raise the corpse no matter what, so Bai Laosi was slightly relieved that Yang Fang had committed a taboo act, but at this moment, Yang Fang suddenly stood straight.
It was a straighter posture than a military posture, as if there were two people pulling at each other's heads and feet, and the situation was very strange. Immediately afterwards, Yang Fang himself was like a dumpling that had blown up the corpse, and pounced towards Bai Laosi.
Although the three of them call themselves brothers and sisters on weekdays, they are all false, and when it comes to interests, life and death, no one will let anyone. Yang Fang used his hands to attack Bai Laosi, and his body was more powerful than before.
Bai Laosi thought to himself: Black eats black? It actually ate on my head, and I am the ancestor of this hand.
Bai Laosi has a flying knife stunt, usually the inside of his wrist is tied with a flying knife, and when he uses it, he is caught in his hand with a shake. He took advantage of his long-range attack, opened up a few dodges, and then shot all the throwing knives.
Rao is Yang Fang is extremely powerful at the moment, under Bai Laosi's full counterattack, he dodged nine but not one, and there was a flying knife that shot straight into his throat.
Yang Fang was killed on the spot.
Bai Laosi sneered. Of course, he did not feel sad about his brother's death, but thought that now whether it was a mask or a treasure, it was all his own.
Immediately, he touched the contents of the coffin. He felt a little ominous about the mask, so he ignored it. In the process of figuring out the artifact, it was about the lack of air circulation in the tomb, Bai Laosi suddenly felt a little dizzy, and the whole person's mind became confused for a moment.
At that moment, Bai Laosi couldn't remember anything, and he didn't remember what he had done at all, in short, when he came back to his senses, he found that he didn't know when, he actually took off the mask on the face of the dead Yang Fang and brought it to his face.
That moment.
There seemed to be an eerie voice in his ears, reading the curse of the Ten Thousand Demon Concubine to him.
Bai Laosi was frightened, and took the wolf out of the tomb, and for a period of time, he had to rein in the limelight because of this strange thing, that is, during that time, it was said that Bai Laosi washed his hands in a golden basin.
Soon, the curse was fulfilled.
