SK8-015: Village of 12 surnames
Early the next morning, the matter spread from Tiance Mansion.
And the townspeople are more than frightened, but also happy.
God opened his eyes, this damn ruffian is finally dead.
It's good to die!
After Xu Jingzhen heard the news, his first reaction was that he had finally waited, and he was really "on time".
If you say seven days to die, you will die in seven days.
And if nothing else, he should have been killed on time at 22:00.
Alright, it's time to continue exploring tonight.
He had a hunch that he might be able to gain something this time!
After eating and drinking, he returned to his room to close his eyes and recuperate, and to prepare.
……
It was eleven o'clock in the evening.
He wandered around the town like a ghost, from East Market to West Market, and from South to North.
Fortunately, the town is not too big, and there is real qi in it.
It doesn't take long to go around in a circle, and it's not tiring.
After four laps, he jumped up to the pavilion and observed for a moment, then continued to investigate.
This time, I turned around for a while, and when I passed by the entrance of the East Market, I suddenly saw a group of soldiers patrolling the city whispering together.
He hurriedly crept closer, hiding in the shadows and pricking up his ears to listen.
Three soldiers held torches and stared fearfully at the ground a few meters ahead.
There's a book out there that doesn't see the cover!
The team leader stumbled and said, "This ...... This thing fell from the sky?? ”
The player on the left said, "I don't know, I don't know...... Anyway, let's run! ”
The team member on the right echoed: "That's right, that's right, Gou San'er just died last night!" ”
"This is definitely that horrible ghost book, run!"
Where would the three of them dare to stay any longer.
Immediately turned around and ran wildly, because his legs were weak and he staggered and almost fell.
Although I don't know if the book fell from the world, or if someone deliberately threw it, it doesn't matter.
They just know not to touch, let alone look at it!
Staying far away is the best policy.
After they ran away, Xu Jingzhen quickly walked over and picked up the book.
I glanced at the cover by the moonlight, and there were no pictures and no words.
He didn't rush to open it, stuffed it into his arms, and continued to hide in the shadows to continue waiting.
After a while, the three soldiers ran back again, followed by six people from the Tiance Mansion.
Among them was the chief of the palace who had interrogated the dog San'er.
The team leader looked around with a torch and found that the book was missing.
The chief of the palace frowned and said, "Are you sure you see a book on the ground?!! ”
The team leader said nervously: "It's true! We don't dare to joke about this kind of thing, my lord. ”
He also knew that the other party wouldn't dare, let alone talk nonsense about this kind of thing.
It is not cost-effective to be punished with a board and fined, or to be beheaded or killed by a ghost.
Did someone pick it up again?!
But it's curfew time, so it's a bit unlikely.
The chief of the palace commanded: "Now go separately to search, and remember, if you find it, send a signal immediately!" ”
"Don't touch that book, let alone read it, you know!"
The crowd responded, and then the trio split up to look for it.
Xu Jing, who was hiding in the shadows, witnessed them leaving, and then he also left in a puff of smoke.
All the way back to the inn.
He adjusted his mentality first, then took out the book from his arms, and opened it expectantly and nervously by the moonlight.
The book is thin, only six pages.
Page 1: An irregular circle is drawn, white-green.
The rest of the blank space is black and very sketchy.
Page 2: A woman combs her hair in front of a bronze mirror, but her face is not visible in the mirror.
Page 3: A giant eyeball occupies the entire page.
Page 4: A chair with vague lettering on the left leg.
Take the book close and squint your eyes to carefully identify it, as if it is the Chinese character "twelve surnames"?
Page 5: A woman stands on the edge of a cliff and jumps into the sea with her arms outstretched.
Page 6: There is a well in the ground of the mist, dead woods.
"And so it was!"
Xu Zhen's eyes flickered, his previous guess was not wrong, it was the midnight bell!
These characteristic paintings are basically the same as the videotapes in the movie.
He closed the book and began to think seriously about how to deal with Sadako.
This is tricky, and it seems that there is really no good countermeasure?
I've seen some ridiculous methods on the Internet before, such as turning off the TV and unplugging the power when you climb halfway.
Or put a TV on the opposite side and let it crawl back and forth and so on.
But it's basically for fun, and it doesn't actually work at all.
What's more, the current carrier is the book, isn't it useless if the dog San'er tears it up.
"It's a bit of a trick to do."
He thought about it seriously for a long time, but he didn't think of a foolproof plan.
But don't be too anxious, there are still seven days from now, and you should be able to think of a good solution.
He opened the book again and read it over and over again, trying to think of all possible solutions.
Nothing was said all night.
At noon the next day, he yawned and came downstairs to eat.
The shopkeeper said enthusiastically: "Is the young man sleeping well?" What do you want to eat today? ”
He thought for a while and said, "Ha, I'm sleeping okay, let's have three big buns, a bowl of porridge, and a small stir-fry." ”
"Okay, wait a minute."
After waiting for a while, the meal was ready.
Xu Jingzhen put aside his thoughts for the time being and began to feast, and soon wiped it out.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper came over with a pot of tea.
While pouring tea, he said: "The young man is full...... Oops, why did you get a nosebleed? ”
"Huh??"
Xu was stunned and wiped it with his hand, and sure enough, there was blood.
He knew very well that it was caused by a curse.
Oh, the efficiency is really fast, and it has only been a morning that it has started to have negative effects.
The shopkeeper handed over a piece of sermon and said, "Shaoxia, are you okay?" ”
In his cognition, cultivators would basically not be harmed in any way, so how could they suddenly bleed?
He took the cloth and wiped it and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's normal." ”
"This is true qi cleansing the body, and it is excreting toxic impurities from the body."
The shopkeeper showed an expression of envy that was the original way.
He once studied the Xiuzhen sect and wanted to become a hero, but he really didn't have that talent.
After a moment of treatment, the nosebleed stopped.
He continued to ask, "Little brother, is there a person named Twelve in the town?" ”
"Twelve surnames??"
The shopkeeper frowned: "Oh~ Shaoxia, you're talking about the village of the twelve surnames." ”
"Twelve surname villages?? Tell me more! ”
"Oh yes."
The shopkeeper pondered for a while, and then said truthfully.
It turned out that when Baiping Town was not built, a group of fleeing people ran here.
They felt that the environment was okay, so they set up a village at the foot of the mountain.
Because everyone has a total of twelve surnames, and they have never gone to a private school and have no education.
Yu directly named it "Twelve Surname Village".
In this way, the villagers started their lives again, and they lived there for more than ten years.
Then came the greatest heyday of the Empire.
Because this is a traffic artery, the imperial court built Baiping Town about ten kilometers away.
