"Old man, we need to get the jade pendant on the Yin Monster of the Mother and the Son, and the things in the Youwang Tomb don't seem to have much to do with us, even if there is a priceless treasure in it, this is not something we covet." Uncle Liao said.
"Look at the problem more comprehensively, the Youwang Tomb seems to have nothing to do with the resurrection of the flying general, but according to the reliable information obtained by the old man, the Zimu Yin Monster is the corpse king living in the South China Sea, which is essentially different from the other two corpse kings, the dragon robe old corpse and the copper mine iron corpse have a fixed habitat, and the area of the South China Sea is not generally large, plus this monster appears every time it is in a storm, which makes it even more difficult to find it, but I can tell you for sure that the shelter of the Zimu Yin Monster is in the Youwang Tomb, So if you want to find her, you have to go to the Youwang Tomb. ”
I was suspicious, according to the old man's statement, could it be that he is not dead to the thief of the Youwang Tomb, so he wants to trick us into being cannon fodder to give him a journey?
"Thanks to the old man's guidance, Liao is grateful, if he finally finds the yin monster of the son and mother, he will definitely thank him."
The old man coughed a few times and said: "Mr. Liao is polite, all the difficulties in entering the sea are all in trouble, I still hope that the two of you will go back well, and the dinner party has been arranged for the two gentlemen. ”
I followed Uncle Liao to get up and say goodbye, and when I opened the door, I saw Shi Haohao waiting outside, and he led us into a gloomy little wooden room, with a hot pot, a few stir-fried vegetables and a bottle of wine on the table in the middle.
Except for Shi Haohao, there was no one to sit with, after eating and drinking, we went to rest, and when we entered the house, I asked Uncle Liao: "Do you really believe the news provided by the old man?" ”
"Nine times out of ten it is true, if it was a lie to us, he would not have said that Youwang Tomb was so dangerous, at most it was superficial, and nine times out of ten it was true that it was true."
"So we're going to sea again?" I said.
"That's right, but this time compared to the last time I went to sea, one is the inland sea, the South China Sea is an open sea area, the natural environment is even worse, it is difficult to predict what kind of dangerous situation we will encounter, skewers, this is called wealth and danger, if we can get this piece of jade, everything will start over, I don't need to face the threat of the king of the sea ridge, you will get out of the wrestling of these forces safely, everyone is happy."
"So it's worth taking the plunge." I laughed.
Uncle Liao also smiled and said: "Skewers, to be honest, I have been working hard to survive all these years, and the psychological pressure is so great that you can't imagine, this time I finally hope to live the life I want again, and I have to do my best no matter what." Saying this, Uncle Liao even had an expression of beautiful longing for the future, which is difficult to imagine for people who have always been moody, so Uncle Liao is really happy from the bottom of his heart.
However, the sky is not as good as the people, and it suddenly rained heavily that night.
At this time, it was summer, we were in the southern provinces, and it was not surprising that there were many heavy rains, but this night's heavy rain washed away a dirt hill on the edge of the village, because the soil was dug loose, forming a medium-scale mudslide, burying several houses close to the mountain, fortunately there were no casualties, and I got up early in the morning to see the village chief with a group of people cleaning up the earthwork.
The earthworkers were really fast in dealing with the earthwork, and in a moment they cleared out the wood chips, broken tiles, and other items, and then everyone began to clean up the mud pouring into the streets, and we happened to catch up and were embarrassed to leave at this time, and also followed to help, and in the afternoon a deputy county magistrate came here to check the situation, with a worried expression of concern for the country and the people, but when passing through the mud, this person always carefully avoided walking.
Soon a group of people arrived at an old house, which was an antique from the village, and no one knew how many years it had existed, and no one knew what the people who had lived in it looked like.
This is an old house with a pure wooden structure, a two-story small building, according to the village chief, more than one archaeologist has come here to identify, and it is certain that this old house is built with jujube wood as the material from the sorghum to the house.
Jujube wood belongs to a kind of hard mahogany, with the price of mahogany in the market today, the value of this small second floor itself far exceeds the price of the most luxurious villa in Lingquan City, so the log cabin is the ancestral property of the whole village in the local area, no one moves in to live, and no one will damage it, although Yongan geoworkers are used to seeing the baby, but the villagers are using this old house as a treasure to provide up, and renovate it with insects every year.
But now the old house has been completely destroyed by mudslides, and the ruins look particularly desolate.
Of course, the deputy county magistrate knew about this old mansion, and stood in front of him and said: "It's a pity for this antiquity, but fortunately, there are no casualties." Before the words fell, a lightning bolt crossed the sky, and began to drip bean-sized raindrops, and a rainstorm came in an instant.
The summer here is a torrential rain, but not everyone at the scene brought umbrellas, so the deputy county magistrate naturally took the initiative to ask the staff and villagers to take umbrellas first.
But every moment of the day, there will be a coincidence, a gust of wind blows through an old beam that has been broken, and there is an umbrella that falls with the broken log.
An umbrella made of bamboo pieces.
I have never seen an umbrella made of bamboo chips, only to see a piece of bamboo made of silk threads, rare is that the interface between the gaps does not leak, although the shape is indeed more peculiar, but used for wind and rain can be much better than canvas umbrellas.
The village chief smiled and said to the deputy county magistrate: "God knows that you came to inspect the work, and I can't bear the rain on you, so I specially sent an umbrella, and it is really an old antique to see if this umbrella is not good." ”
The deputy county magistrate also felt that the omen was indeed good, and said again and again: "Good omen, this is called God to bless good people, so the days of our village will become more and more prosperous." In the applause of everyone, the village chief stretched out the umbrella.
The diameter of the bamboo umbrella is very large, and the umbrella handle is also made of bamboo poles as thick as human arms, covering three people is not a problem, I estimate that the weight is not light, but the village chief insists on holding the umbrella for the deputy county magistrate, and the two people continue to move forward with such a strange shape of the "umbrella" on their heads, and the wind is strong and the rain is pouring down, and the rain gear in our hands is blown unsteadily, only the bamboo umbrella is extremely strong, like a pavilion erected above the heads of the two.
The deputy county magistrate smiled and turned back as if he was going to chat with the villagers, but at this moment, the umbrella stand was all broken because of disrepair, and the umbrella made of bamboo suddenly covered the upper body of the two people tightly, these two people were like wearing a cloak, and no one dared to laugh at their funny appearance, but everyone had a smile on their faces.
However, the laughter did not fall under the umbrella and suddenly came out of a white smoke, although the smoke was thick but extremely gentle, it was swept away by the storm when it came out, and soon the smoke was blown out, and a staff member said: "Hurry up and lift the bamboo chips, this thing is not light, don't press people." ”
The village chief shook off the bamboo chips on his body and shouted angrily: "No one is allowed to come up." One sentence stopped everyone at the scene, and the chaotic voices suddenly disappeared, and everyone even stopped moving, and looked at the village chief with their eyes.
Seeing that neither of them moved, the village chief's body shook for a moment, and then he slowly turned around, and saw that the skin and flesh on his face seemed to be evaporating, and small bubbles stretched around, and where the small blisters went, the skin and flesh instantly turned into pus, mixed with blood dripping on the clothes on his chest, and soon the flesh and blood of his entire face turned into nothing, and the blisters continued to spread to his neck and chest.
Everyone was stunned, and stood silently as the village chief and deputy county magistrate were left with only a pile of bones, and even their clothes were corroded.
There was a soft sound, and the two white bones that were poked in place were scattered on the ground, and the big living person who was still alive and speaking in front of us just now became a pile of scattered white bones in the blink of an eye.
Such a terrifying scene destroyed the nerves of all the people present, and almost everyone ran towards the entrance of the village uncontrollably.
The death of these two people is too tragic, and the terrifying death scene at the scene has a huge impact on my heart, could it be that these two people are deliberately retaliated?
But I know that it is more likely that the murderer left the world early, and the two are likely to be killed by his "relics".
