Chapter 522: The Strange Man in the Ruins
After listening to Old Man Yuan's experience, we were all stunned, this was really unexpected for us, judging from Old Man Yuan's experience, Xuan Heng seemed to have been kidnapped, so who would do it?
Of course, the first thing that came to our mind was Zhang Liangchen - Zhang Liangchen had already attacked Xuanheng and them, and the two spaces were connected by waterways, so we were almost certain that this was what Zhang Liangchen did.
But why did Zhang Liangchen do this? They have been safe and sound for more than 300 years, why would they attack Xuanheng and them now? We don't quite understand.
My cousin sat there quietly, staring at the candlelight, as if lost in his own contemplation. Everyone didn't know what to do next, and for a while, there was silence in the room.
Tian Liwen suddenly said: "I seem to know, why did they arrest Professor Shan." ”
When Tian Liwen said this, we seemed to be pricked by needles, and everyone's attention was focused on Tian Liwen's body at once.
Tian Liwen's voice trembled a little and said, "They want Professor Shan's urine." ”
After listening to Tian Liwen's words, we all looked at each other, and even Old Man Yuan was taken aback, and couldn't help asking, "What?" If you want Professor Shan's urine, do you mean Zhang Liangchen them? ”
Tian Liwen's words are too confusing to us, about urine, we only know that Xuanheng needs them, they want to use fresh urine to maintain the normal rate of skin hyperplasia, Old Man Yuan has been here for decades, and it is for this reason.
But Zhang Liangchen, why do they need this kind of urine? Their condition is completely different from Xuanheng's - their life mode is to transfer various functional cells to the bones, and the flesh and skin have gradually lost their role to them.
"Tell me what's going on?" Old man Yuan was also curious.
Tian Liwen nodded, her expression was very vicissitudes, after experiencing these things, she suddenly matured a lot, a kind of maturity that is not commensurate with her age, I look really distressed, a beautiful and young girl like her, should be a time when she is invincible in youth, find a boyfriend, talk about love, and enjoy her youth, but she didn't expect to be involved in these weird things, and these experiences are bound to cast a huge shadow in her life.
Tian Liwen let out a long breath, brushed her long hair with her hand, her eyes were very confused, as if she was immersed in the memories of the past, and said slowly: "I thought about what you said, and suddenly remembered one thing, maybe today's qiē is related to one thing."
It was a year ago, Professor Shan and I came to your county town to collect wind -- every year we would go down there to collect style, and we would usually take the county seat as a unit, county by county.
We are generally in the county first, find a hotel to live in, during the day in the mountains near the county seat, painting and sketching, last year to your county seat, found that the scenery is particularly beautiful, and there are many historic sites in the county, than other counties to live for a few days.
And we heard that there was another place in the county town where the Japanese garrison was, and the headquarters was also selected there, so I went to see it with Professor Shan.
I thought that there would be a lot of people in that place, but to our surprise, the courtyard of thousands of acres, but almost no one went, after we went in, we didn't meet anyone in it, so that it was calm and a little gloomy, but for me and Professor Shan, I liked that place very much, and felt that the big courtyard, dotted with blue brick buildings, was very simple and beautiful.
So, we took out our digital cameras and took at least 100 shots.
We lingered in it, but it was so big that by dusk we hadn't seen a third of it.
After I came out, I heard from you locals that the courtyard was said to be haunted, and in recent years, people have been dying there, so no one goes.
Especially in the courtyard, there is a dense forest, and in the dense forest, there is a 'strange pit', and in that 'strange pit', it is even more weird, no one dares to go to that place.
At that time, Professor Shan and I thought it was funny because we were both atheists and didn't believe in gods or ghosts.
After returning to the hotel, we took out our digital camera, copied the photos to the computer, and looked at them one by one, it was really beautiful, and the color of the scenery in the courtyard was very much like a beautiful ink painting.
But we suddenly found that in several photos, there was a person in the distance, but for some reason, when we took it, we didn't seem to notice, but maybe it wasn't in focus, the figure was a little blurry, but we could vaguely see that the person seemed to be wrapped in a robe, and that kind of robe was still gray.
At the time, we didn't think much of it, thinking that it might be a tourist, but the clothes he was wearing, the color of the environment was similar, and it was far away, so we didn't notice it.
The next morning, we went to the ruins of the Japanese garrison again, and wanted to continue to see what we had yesterday, especially the strange pit in the woods that people said.
But when we walked into the woods, we were taken aback, because neither Professor Shan nor I expected that the woods would be so big, and after we had walked more than 100 meters inside, we quickly retreated--we knew that if we continued to go inside, we would definitely get lost, and after going more than 100 meters, we would not be able to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest at all.
We stand on the edge of the woods, hesitate, and give up like this, we are unwilling, but where is that pit in the woods? We don't know anything.
Looking around, I wanted to ask someone, but there was no one around. Just when we didn't know what to do, suddenly, I noticed a person faintly in the distance.
It was not easy to see someone at last, so we immediately walked over to ask the man, and as we got closer, we were both surprised - it turned out that the man was the one who appeared in our photo!
But when we got closer, and saw his outfit clearly, we couldn't help but be surprised, because the man was dressed so strangely - I saw that he was covered in a kind of gray cloth, wrapped so tightly that he didn't even show his face, but there were two small holes in the two eyes, and it was really hairy to meet a person in this kind of dress in this gloomy environment.
I think Professor Shan must have been a little scared at the time, but because he was my teacher and I was just a young girl, he had to force his composure in this situation.
"Excuse me, is there a pit in this wood, we want to go and see it, we don't know how to get there?"
Hearing Professor Shan's question, the man coughed softly twice, and then said in a very hoarse voice: "That pit is not too easy to find, but I go there often, if you two want to go in, I can take you in." ”
To be honest, I was very scared at the time, so I glanced at Professor Shan, and said, 'Don't let this person lead the way, let's find it ourselves.'" But what he didn't expect was that the man, though he was tightly wrapped, felt very keenly, and even the look and meaning of my eyes, he immediately noticed it, so he laughed hoarsely twice—the voice was so terrible that it made people feel creepy.
After laughing like this, the man said, 'I know, you're scared when you look at me, don't you?' Seeing our thoughts, he was immediately struck by him, and for a while, we were both embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
But what I didn't expect was that the man sighed, and his tone suddenly became infinitely sad: 'Alas, I can understand your feelings, my appearance, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, I don't dare to look in the mirror, because even I don't dare to look at my own appearance. When the man said this, my eyes stood up with sweat all over my body, and I really wanted to turn around and run.
Listening to the man's tone, he suddenly became very angry, and he said hatefully: "I am like this, it is all those Japanese who are not as good as animals, that is, I am only five or six years old, I did not expect that a Molotov cocktail suddenly fell from my house, which was thrown by the Japanese, and my family of seven, all of them were burned alive, and I was burned to death, but my life is big, not far from my home at that time, there happened to be an American medical group to aid China, which was sent by the United States to help us resist Japan, and they are the most outstanding military doctors."
In this way, I was saved by these American military doctors, and although I survived, my whole body was burned beyond recognition, and I looked like a ghost, so I had to dress up this way for fear of scaring others.
I come here almost every day, come here to recite the scriptures, but it is not to overtake the Japanese devils here, but to let them fall into the eighteen layers of hell forever, and they can no longer be reincarnated, only in this way can the hatred in my heart be eliminated. Listening to what the man said, we knew what was going on, and suddenly our fear was reduced a lot, and we had a lot of sympathy for him, it seems that this person's life is bitter enough, since he is so kind and willing to show us the way, we are not good to refuse, Professor Shan also took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the man.
But what I didn't expect was that others were really not greedy for money and didn't want to say anything, so our good impression of him increased a lot.
In this way, he walked in front, and we both followed closely behind, but for some reason, the man deliberately kept a distance from us, as if he did not want to get too close to us.
In addition, he walks very differently from ordinary people - it seems to be a bit mechanical, it doesn't seem too flexible, a bit like a machine person, I thought at the time, since he has such a heavy burn, there must be some joint dysfunction, so it is like this, but the strange thing is that although his rhythm is a bit like a machine qì feeling, he walks very fast.
But then, something even stranger happened, we came to a place where there was a downhill slope, I was unsteady on my feet, and I fell down all at once, but the person in front of me reacted very quickly, and suddenly turned around to support me, but when I touched his body, it felt hard, as if his body was full of bones and no flesh.
And at the moment when he helped me stand upright, I suddenly saw that his hand was wearing a pair of gloves, so I couldn't see the appearance of his hand, but on the exposed forearm, there was white bone, and there was no skin and flesh on it!
