Chapter 36: Abominable
That day, I went to the ancient tomb alone, and I was worried all the way, if I met the fox demon again, I was afraid that it would be difficult to run away again, but fortunately, the road was smooth.
I walked along the entrance of the cave, and at first I saw some light, which really frightened me, how could there be light?
It wasn't until I came to the door of the ancient tomb stone that I found that the light was actually emitted by the oil lamps on both sides, which was too terrifying, and the ancient tomb lamps that were thousands of years old were still on. Not only that, but there were hundreds of arrows stuck in the ground, and I knew at the time that someone had come before me and touched the mechanism.
Of course, this place is as safe as possible the less time I stay, so I stepped forward to pry the stone door open, and the blue orbs in the mouths of the two stone lions in front of the door just took a step emitted light, and the people who were shining in the light were dizzy, and their eyes couldn't be opened, so I subconsciously was... I took out the treasure mirror of the banshee lady from the bag to block the light, who knew that this block and the light gradually disappeared, but I took the mirror away, and the light immediately appeared again.
Holding a mirror in one hand and priing the door with the other, it is absolutely impossible to do it, and the stone door is too thick to open it on my own, and I was trying to get some gunpowder from the bag and blow up the door. Suddenly, someone behind the stone door was talking to me, and I was so frightened that I almost fell to the ground.
Junbo asked, "Can you hear what the person behind the door is saying to you?"
The little pillar wiped his sweat and replied: "The little one heard clearly, and the people inside said to me, "The little pillar... Let's go back... "My mother, I was blindfolded at the time, and I knew my name was Xiaozhuzi, and I turned my head and was about to run, but when I saw the jewel in the lion's mouth, I didn't think much about taking one and quickly slipped away. ”
Jun Bo said: "Sure enough, as Peach Blossom said, it was a gramophonic Gu behind the door. Also, the treasure mirror of the peach blossom can block the strong light emitted by the orb. Little pillar, where is the treasure mirror now?"
Xiao Zhu looked at Peach Blossom a little nervously, "This... I lost this treasure mirror ......."
Peach Blossom slapped the table and said angrily: "Lost, why don't you lose your life." ”
Peach Blossom seemed to be really anxious, and everyone present was dumbfounded!
Xiao Zhuzi replied: "It's just that I stole the orb that day and ran out of the cave in a hurry, more... Most of them were lost in that hole. ”
Jun Bo asked: "Don't make up here, we have been in that cave, and we have never seen the Pure Flow Treasure Mirror, so where is the Treasure Mirror?"
Xiaozhu was very afraid of Junbo, and kowtowed again and again, "The little one is telling the truth, there is no half a lie, if there is a lie, I will cut it with a thousand knives!"
The clever girl Jade Cicada said: "Brother Jun Bo, I can see that he is not lying. ”
Nan Tuo nodded and said, "He doesn't dare to talk nonsense, it's just that we really haven't seen the treasure mirror of the peach blossom!"
Peach Blossom got up suddenly, "I know, I finally understand why the fox demon disappeared under our eyelids that day, it turned out to be a treasure mirror!"
Junbo was curious, "Peach Blossom, do you want to be clear?"
"My treasure mirror is different from ordinary mirrors, it is divided into yin and yang, the yang side can block the external evil energy, and the yin side can make people disappear out of thin air when it shines on itself. The fox must have gotten my mirror. Can... But I didn't expect that day, Junbo... It's all my fault!"
Jun Bo said: "How can you be blamed for this? Who would have thought that the fox would get the treasure mirror? This fox demon has been prepared for a long time, if he is letting me see him, he will never be reborn!"
Nan Tuo said: "Little pillar, then why did you give the jewel to Gu Changqiu?"
"Gifted to... After I came back from the ancient tomb, I wanted to leave the Shouling Village with my mother and find a pawnshop to take the orb as a pawnshop, I am afraid that it will also make me worry about food and clothing, but who would have expected that the cunning Gu Changqiu had already been guarding my door. When he saw me coming back, he searched my whole body without saying a word. And he took it away. ”
Jade Cicada said angrily: "You... Are you just waiting for him to take it? Won't you resist? A young man can't rob an old man, shame on you!"
Xiaozhuzi said aggrievedly: "How dare I rob him to death, my wife is lying on the kang, and if she knows that I am going to throw other people's ancestral graves, I will not be angry on the spot." Gu Changqiu grasped this point and dared to search me directly. After he got the orb, he was still unwilling, and actually said that I was incompetent, so I caught such a treasure. He also said that there is no way to divide one thing, the jewel belongs to him, and he will cover all the food and clothing of my family in the future, what else can I do, I can only agree. But I knew in my heart that he would not care about the life and death of me and my mother, so I mentioned that I would take my mother out of the village for one hundred taels of silver, and if I didn't give it, I would tell everyone the origin of the beads. ”
"And he gave you the money?" asked Juan'er
"He had to give it, if I said it, would he be able to cash out the orbs smoothly? It's just that he was too a scoundrel and only gave me fifty taels. I was so helpless that I had to take fifty taels and leave with my wife. ”
Juan Er trembled angrily, "This village chief... Looking at the human demon dog, how... How is it such a wolf-hearted thing? And how is your mother now?"
Xiaozhu wiped away his tears, "My mother... My mother is gone! This is not just the end of the funeral, it was for my mother that I didn't fight with Gu Changqiu for anything, and now I want to get back what I deserve. ”
Juan'er asked, "So you came back this time to target Gu Changqiu, then why did you want to kill him!"
Xiao Zhuzi sneered and said: "I can't blame me, he died by himself!" I went to Gu Changqiu's house at noon, and saw Gao Langzhong coming out of his house, I hid aside and saw him go far before entering, maybe Aunt Gu didn't know what his man was doing, and when she saw me, she asked my mother how she was now, I hadn't seen my mother for a while, and I didn't say anything, so I went into the back room and talked to Gu Changqiu about the treasure bead.
When he saw me, he was so unhappy that he blamed me for not talking and running back again. I opened the skylight and said it clearly. ”
Junbo asked, "What did you say?"
"I... I said that my mother is now dead, and I have nothing to worry about, and if I don't divide half of the money from the sale of the orb, I will not be finished with him. Who would have thought that he would say that he didn't know what beads there were, he had never gotten any jewels from me, tell me, is this Gu Changqiu a fucking scoundrel. Before I went to his house... So I prepared some poison, and if he agreed to divide it with me, I would give it to him. ”
"And how did you get the medicine?"
Xiao Zhuzi touched his nose and said, "This Gu Changqiu has to drink two glasses of wine at noon every day, which is something that everyone in the village knows. I'll make a special trip to go when I'm about to eat, and if it happens, then Aunt Gu will also leave me for a meal. If I couldn't talk, I pretended to be kind enough to help Aunt Gu warm the wine for him, and took this opportunity to put the poison in the wine......"
Nantuo said: "Who would have thought that Gu Changqiu really didn't get what you wanted, so you poisoned him as planned...... But how did you get the orb?"
Xiao Zhuzi rubbed his face with his hands and said: "You don't know Gu Changqiu's person, his careful eyes will definitely bring his beloved things with him, once my poison is ingested, he will lose consciousness, and he will not lose his breath after an hour, but those who don't know will definitely think that he is drunk." I took advantage of the time when Aunt Gu went to the yard to feed the pigs, persuaded Gu Changqiu to have a drink, and when I saw that he couldn't move immediately, I quickly took out the orb from him and moved him to lie on the kang, as if he was asleep. After that, I told Aunt Gu that the village chief had drunk too much and fell asleep, and I left Gu's house safely...... I've told you everything I know, just... Just let me go!
Peach Blossom said: "The poison you used is Flying Soul Powder?"
Xiao Zhuzi was surprised, "The banshee lady is really powerful, it's that ......"
Before Xiaozhu finished speaking, he saw that his neck seemed to be cut open by a sharp weapon, and suddenly blood splattered, and blood bubbles were spat out in his mouth from time to time, and he lost his breath in a blink of an eye!
Several people in the room were stunned for a moment, not knowing what had happened! For a moment, I saw the door of Juan'er's house open out of thin air, and it seemed that something had escaped from the door, Junbo immediately activated the yin and yang eyes, and saw the back of the nine-tailed fox gradually disappear from sight.
Peach Blossom scolded, "When did that fox come in...... It must have been my treasure mirror to help him hide. It's disgusting!"
The others didn't say anything, just silently looked at the small pillar lying on the ground, and the claw marks on their necks......
