I turned my head to Tenzin and said, "It seems that the truth can only be known now after the handover of the goods." ”

"Hehe, you want that kid to cooperate obediently, it's still difficult to reach the sky, he is already stunned, he won't die until the Yellow River, and he can't be saved." Yun Dingxiang sneered.

"You can't say that, although your younger brother is not authentic, he still has a strong sense of crisis, otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Tenzin to take such a big risk to bring things here, and besides, he also hid all the rumors, which shows that what he wants to do is not a trivial matter."

Yun Dingxiang sighed and said, "Actually, I also guessed what he wanted to do, but it was almost impossible to succeed in this matter. ”

"Oh?" I wondered, "What did you guess?" ”

Yun Dingxiang shook his head and said, "It's better to wait until you meet him, and ask him yourself." ”

Although Yun Dingxiang didn't say it directly, a closed loop has gradually formed in my mind: the ancient tomb we accidentally discovered was not an accidental incident, at least before the corpse poison in the ancient tomb was leaked, there were already people who had the idea of fighting it, and these people were the tomb robbers that Yun Dingxiang encountered. After the tomb robbers appeared, a series of strange things happened in the surrounding area of Heiyun Village, zombie bites, monsters infested, including the monsters we encountered along the way after coming out of the ancient tomb, passing through the Immortal Peak, it can be basically concluded that they all came out of the ancient tomb. According to Yun Dingxiang, this ancient tomb is the early tomb of Heiyun Village, which shows that the whole thing is most directly related to Heiyun Village. After the incident, Heiyunzhai has taken measures, but Yun Ding'e insisted on going his own way, thinking that such a thing happened because of the escape of the old man in the madman village, and the root cause was because the "treasure of the town" hidden in the black cloud village more than 30 years ago was lost, for this reason, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of all the old people in the village, and at the same time, secretly sent Tenzin to send three boxes of mysterious goods, the purpose should also be to prevent the expansion of the situation.

So, by now, we can sort out the whole thing into three key points: First, the curse. This is also the core problem of the whole thing, the corpse poison in the ancient tomb is very likely to be related to the "curse" passed down from generation to generation in Heiyun Village, the two are very similar, once contaminated, they will cause corpses to change and become zombies. The second is the Soul Suppression Pagoda. Although the theft of this Soul Suppression Pagoda occurred more than thirty years ago, the role of this Soul Suppression Pagoda must be very closely related to the "curse" of Heiyun Village, and it may be that this pagoda is used to restrain the curse. However, the theft of the pagoda for more than 30 years has not been heard from so far, which further mysteries the truth of the incident. The third is tomb robbers. What is the purpose of this group of people who chose this ancient tomb with a clear goal? In the ancient tomb, we found that the artifacts inside had not been stolen, which is very revealing, which shows that the purpose of these people is not to run for the treasure, so what could it be? If so, connect these three points together and make a bold assumption: the direct purpose of this group of people robbing the tomb is to get something in the tomb, and the loss of such a thing will cause serious consequences - it is the same as the situation warned by Sanniang after the loss of the Soul Suppression Pagoda - zombies, monsters and other strange things are fulfilled one by one, then is it possible that this thing and the Soul Suppression Pagoda may be similar to something.

Thinking of this, I suddenly became enlightened and asked, "Old man, do you know if there are any treasures similar to the Soul Suppression Pagoda in Heiyun Village?" ”

Yun Dingxiang thought for a while and said, "I don't know much, Yun Ding'e is the patriarch, he should know more than me." ”

Since he said so, then I naturally won't ask any more, and the top priority is to find Yun Ding'e first.

With that, we walked into the cave. Inside, it was dark and wintery, and I couldn't see my fingers grasping it, so I searched around the pillar, and finally found a hard-working kerosene lamp, but the outer cover had long been cracked.

"Make do with it!" I picked up the kerosene lamp and prepared to stuff it into Ren Yonghai behind me, because I didn't have a lighter and wanted him to light it.

I thought that Ren Yonghai stretched out his hand and quickly took the lamp, but there was no movement for a long time.

I was just about to ask a question, but suddenly my shoulders sank.

Ren Yonghai's voice came from behind: "Where is the lamp?" ”

I instinctively backhanded and threw the person behind me out of the darkness. The man didn't expect me to react so violently, and I didn't prepare at all, and I was thrown a dog with a "oops".

I hurriedly squatted down to check, only to see Ren Yonghai fall to the ground. He gasped, covered his head and said angrily, "What are you doing here!" ”

I picked up the kerosene lamp and stammered, "I ...... I just ...... You weren't next to me, and you took the oil lamp away, why did you run behind me again? ”

"Oil lamps?" Ren Yonghai's expression was particularly distorted in the darkness, "You...... Didn't you just ask me for a lighter? I've been wondering, why are you grabbing it? ”

My heart chuckled, I helped Ren Yonghai up, and said in a deep voice, "Something is wrong." ”

As if to verify my words, there was a shrill sound of scratching the wall, accompanied by a shrill laugh.

Ren Yonghai also became alert and asked, "Did you see the other party's face clearly?" ”

"No, the man was very fast, and he took it with a whoosh. I just thought you were lighting the lamp for me, and I didn't even notice it. ”

"I was standing beside you, but then a shadow flickered by, and as soon as I turned my head, the lighter was taken away. I thought you were going to use fire...... "He stopped in the middle of his sentence and pricked up his ears to listen, "I don't know where the sound of scratching the wall came from, why is it everywhere?" ”

"Be careful, everybody!"

"Old man, do you know what's going on?"

Yun Dingxiang shook his head and said: "This ancestral hall is generally not dared to come in, I am old, I know that my time is short, every time I think of the sad past, but I often come in, and I haven't encountered anything strange." ”

"That's weird, there shouldn't be filth in the ancestral hall."

Yun Dingxiang listened to my words, and remembered that he had lost the Soul Suppression Pagoda, and muttered: "I'm afraid that the reason why the vision suddenly appeared these days is because I made a big mistake and lost the Soul Suppression Pagoda. ”

He had already blamed himself for the disappearance of the members of the god team, and now that the entire village was about to be implicated, he was suddenly angry, and his eyes were dark.

I saw Yun Dingxiang suddenly shake, and I thought he was unwell.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm out of the way."

But I've just sorted out the causes and consequences, the loss of this Soul Suppression Pagoda is only one of the links, not the direct cause of the current situation, the culprit should be the tomb robbers.

As he spoke, a scream came from the other side.

I was shocked, "Isn't this the voice of Qiangba?" ”

Ren Yonghai replied affirmatively, "That's him!" ”

The two of us didn't dare to wait, and looked for Qiangba's cry for help, but this ancestral hall was a little bigger, but there was no Qiangba anywhere.

"There! There's someone down there! The sharp-eyed Deyang Ram suddenly saw that there was still a layer of space under our feet. It turns out that this cave is not a one-story one, and the next layer of space is connected to the upper space by a wooden ladder.

I flew up and saw that most of Qiangba's body was hanging on the stairs, and only two hands were left to climb on.

As soon as Qiangba saw someone coming, he immediately shouted for help: "Save me, save me." ”

I glanced down, and I heard two strange sounds, and a white-haired "human" hand poked out of his waist.

At a glance, I saw a white water monkey climbing on Jampa.

It is said that it is a water monkey, but in fact, this name is not accurate. The "water monkey" is actually a juvenile of the three-tailed shark people, and it is only among the people that they are mistaken for "water ghosts".

And the "water monkey" in front of him is the real water ghost.

Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen this thing at such a close distance. This water monkey is not at all similar to ordinary monkeys, with a long horse face, a rickety back, and a pair of hands that are very similar to those of humans. It was about the same length as a child of five or six years old, with a rancid fishy smell and a calloused film on its eyes, which seemed to be difficult to see under bright light. I only knew that I hugged Qiangba's waist and abdomen and kept pulling down.

I desperately grabbed Qiangba, Ren Yonghai shouted when he saw this scene, and also rushed forward and grabbed Qiangba's other hand. All three of them understood that if they dragged the beast into the water, they would only have to wait for death, so they did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Qiangba had a big hole in his shoulder, and he thought that it was the white-haired beast who had gnawed on it. He kept wiggling his legs and feet, trying to shake the thing out. Helplessly, the white-haired monster had a barb on its claws, and it held Qiangba and refused to let go, and soon blood oozing from Qiangba's waist.

"You can't do it, you hold him. I'll go down and clean up that brute! Seeing that the man was about to be dragged into the water, I simply let go of my hands, picked up the dagger and slid down the ladder.

Qiangba was hooked in the flesh, and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain.

When the white-haired monster saw that someone was going to come down and grab dinner with him, he pouted his teeth and pulled out a paw and scratched at me.

I quickly turned to the side and shook the claws that wanted to hook the flesh of the belt. But Qiangba was not so lucky, and the water monkey took a large piece of his flesh and skin with him at the moment of clawing. He almost fainted in pain, and kept screaming and scolding, and it seemed that he was terrified to the extreme.

I didn't dare to slow down, so I grabbed the dagger in my backhand and plunged it into the neck of the water monkey.

Because it was suspended in mid-air, it was difficult for me to control my strength, but fortunately, the water monkey was not smart, and it attacked me, so I stabbed the bull's-eye in the bull's-eye and stabbed the beast in the back.

It screamed in pain, and the sound was sharp and sharp, like a knife cutting people's hair. The beast went mad and pounced again. I hurriedly stabbed and slashed again, only to pull out half of the beast's body out of a skylight before stopping.

"Lao Ren, take a hand!"

Ren Yonghai and I worked together to pull the injured Qiangba up.

At this time, I examined the water monkey again, and found that it was still not out of breath, and its body was full of green pus, which was extremely fishy.

"Old man, have you seen this thing?"

Yun Dingxiang shook his head and said, "It seems that these things are becoming more and more presumptuous, and now even the ancestral hall dares to break in." ”

"So, these monsters are no longer in the village in the first place?"

Yun Dingxiang nodded and said: "Yes, it's not a secret, although this madman village is a Jedi, but before the disappearance of the Soul Suppression Pagoda, the environment here was still very good, and the elderly are happy to retire here, even if the time is short, they can die well." However, since the loss of the pagoda, this madman village has not become very peaceful, and these monsters that originally only appeared in the forbidden land have gone to the village to spread wild. ”

"But even so, the situation is still within the controllable range, first, every family has dogs, dogs can watch the home, these animals will be chased by dogs as soon as they appear, and secondly, after all, the people in the village are familiar with these animals, and have a way to deal with them, so there has never been any major accidents."

"You mean it's only recently that things got out of hand?" Xu Yaxian interjected.

Yun Dingxiang nodded and said: "Yes, since I suspect that the tomb robbers have come to the ancient tomb and caused this series of strange events, the situation in the madman village has become less and less optimistic, first there were old people who died violently for no reason, and then there were several brawls in a row. ”

"When things go wrong, there must be demons."

"Now the monsters in the madman village come and go freely, and it is like entering a no-man's land, and after Yun Ding'e knew this, he made up his mind to slaughter the village."

"Old man, is there something hidden in the ancient tomb?" I asked suddenly.

Yun Dingxiang pondered for a moment and said: "The history of Heiyunzhai is relatively complicated, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences. ”

"Things go around and around, do you have to get back to the point in the end?" Ren Yonghai asked.

"What's the point?" I glanced at him and felt like he had thought of it too.

"Black Cloud Village, that so-called curse."

"The hero sees the same thing, and I also think that things have come to this point, and it's time to find out the truth about the curse."

And if you want to know the truth, you have to find Yun Ding'e.
