21 The beast's name is Chaos

With the first rays of sunlight shining in the morning, the Huolong Mountain outside the Yao family's ancient mansion gradually emerged with a crimson outline. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

So far, Xie Yixiang is not very afraid, she immediately checked the newly discovered bones with Jin Zhutou, plus the previous eleven bones, there are more than forty bones buried in this attic of the Yao family's ancient mansion. After a cursory examination, the bones that were first buried in the mezzanine of the attic were only suspected to be hundreds of years old, and the most recent were the eleven bones that Xie Yixiang and Ye Chen were the first to be found, which were buried in the mezzanine of the attic more than ten years ago.

Seeing the layout of the second floor of this attic, some of the people present were superstitious believers, and they explained: "The pattern upstairs is the 'Yin Array' set up by our Jiangxi Ghost Dao masters, and it is the 'Ghost Lantern of Trapped Demon Town' that is at the mercy of the 'Ghost Lamp of the Trapped Demon Town' to contain the soul of the deceased in the room, and at the same time, a spiritual seat for worship is set up in the hall downstairs, but it is only a false sacrifice and is not really worshipped. After staying like this for a long time, no matter how much resentment the soul of the deceased has, it will be completely dispersed by this 'Yin Array'. As for why only the eleven bones buried more than ten years ago were put in a position in the room and hall, I think it was because the bones buried in other rooms had been dissipated by the 'Yin Array' set up before because they had been too old, so that their souls were scattered, so they no longer continued to set up this array. ”

Xie Yixiang didn't believe in these things, but when she heard such words, she couldn't help but think of the "she" she saw in her dream, with ponytails on both sides of her head, which could make those faceless monsters extremely frightened, and I don't know what it was. At that moment, she couldn't help but ask the man, "As you said, this ...... of your Jiangxi ghost path Is there anything else in this formation that can be used to guard over or suppress these souls?"

At this time, the cadres who were present quickly examined all the bones again, because the years were too long, and no more clues could be found from them, and some of the bones were even too mutilated because they could not even find out the cause of death, let alone the identity of the deceased. However, there is one thing that is very strange, that is, only the eleven bones that were first found have knife marks on the face bones, while the bones found later have their faces intact. Xie Yixiang secretly said in her heart: "It seems that these eleven corpses in the last year are still a little different after all. The hiding of corpses in the mezzanine of this attic is already extremely secretive, and the murderer wants to destroy their faces to hide their identity, which can be said to be a bit too careful. I really don't know what the identities of these eleven dead people are, and it is worth the murderer's great effort?"

While she was thinking about it, there was a series of screams from the crowd of people demolishing the building, accompanied by the sound of wooden planks cracking, as if some behemoth had come out of the wreckage of the attic, which startled everyone present.

Xie Yixiang was surprised and hurriedly separated the chaotic crowd and looked into the ruins of the attic. But in broad daylight, a bulging, red beast, bigger than a carriage, was rushing out of the middle of the second floor of the collapsed attic, the mezzanine above the walkway, and at this moment it had smashed through the broken floor and rushed straight in front of everyone.

The crowd had only paid attention to the mezzanine on the top of those rooms, and had neglected the extremely low hallway above the second floor of the attic. It turned out that there was a mezzanine on the top of that walkway, and now this giant beast clearly rushed out of the mezzanine of the walkway, startling many people to flee with their heads in their hands.

Who is this giant beast sacred? In a panic, Xie Yixiang hurriedly pressed his hand on his waist and left in a hurry, almost pulling out his knife. But when she saw that the beast had rushed out of the ruins of the attic, and then rolled down into the courtyard, and did not move any more, she knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly drank to silence the people. When everyone calmed down and looked closely, it turned out that this so-called "giant beast" was actually a huge pebble about a foot long and several feet wide, and its stone body was round, like a huge egg, but it was also flesh red, like the cold pork on the butcher's board in the vegetable field.

It turned out that this huge pebble was hidden in the mezzanine on the top of the second-floor walkway, and after the attic was demolished by everyone, the mezzanine of the walkway lost its balance, and finally could not bear the weight of the boulder, which crushed the mezzanine floor slab, so that the boulder rolled out.

When they saw the origin of the "giant beast" in front of them, the catchers and the people present couldn't help laughing, but after laughing for a while, everyone's laughter gradually became smaller, and then completely quieted down. It turned out that because the shape of this boulder was too weird, even Xie Yixiang felt more and more hairy in her heart the more she looked at it. You must know that the texture and color of this giant pebble are like a large piece of raw meat, and if you look closely, it seems to be alive, and just below the boulder, there are six pimples slightly raised, like the six "fleshy feet" of this boulder. At the same time, two pairs of extremely incongruous wings were artificially carved on both sides of this boulder, which looked vivid, but appearing on this bulging boulder was like cutting off the wings of a sparrow and sticking them to the elephant, which made people want to laugh but couldn't laugh. Someone in the crowd blurted out, "Is this ...... Is this a rock, or is it a monster?" the rest of the people looked at each other with confused expressions.

I heard a faint voice suddenly say: "You don't have to make a fuss, this is just a 'chaos' stone sculpture." Xie Yixiang hurriedly raised her eyes to look, but it was Qu Baoshu who called herself "poor sour" who spoke, and she didn't know when she had come over. Beside him was Dai Qi, the number one master of the Emei Sword Sect today, who was glancing at the boulder with his triangular eyes at the moment, forming a "Chuan" character at the center of his eyebrows.

When Xie Yixiang heard this, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and secretly thought to herself: "Poyang Lake, Lao Ye Temple, Yin Soldier Dance, Chaos Beast...... Could it be that this boulder right now is the so-called 'Chaos Beast'?"

You must know that she followed Zhuang Haoming to Dongting Lake that day, and in the Yubi Peak of Longyue Island, she heard Zhuang Haoming and Jiang Wangcai mention the words "Poyang Lake, Lao Ye Temple, Yin Soldier Dance, Chaos Beast" for the first time. Xie Yixiang listened to their words, vaguely in the area of Poyang Lake, there was an extremely powerful force hidden, and the 20 million taels of silver stolen by the imperial court were robbed by this mysterious force. But since then, no matter how much I have searched in Chilong Town on the shore of Poyang Lake, I have never heard anyone say this.

Just when Xie Yixiang almost wanted to give up this clue, but unexpectedly, everyone demolished the building this time, and suddenly rolled out such a boulder, which then led to the word "chaos" in Qu Baoshu, and finally reconnected everything in front of him with this sentence "Poyang Lake, Lao Ye Temple, Yin Soldier Dance, Chaos Beast". For a while, Xie Yixiang was surprised, but also faintly relieved.

I only heard Qu Baoshu talking to himself next to him: "...... The so-called chaotic people do not see and hear them, and they are an image of nothingness. In later legends, there are ancient mythical beasts with the same name, also known as "Chaos", and the gluttony, Qiqi, and Han Qi together are called the four fierce, also called 'Dijiang'. It is said that its shape is like a yellow sac, red like a fire, with six legs and four wings, which makes people feel intimidating at first sight......"

After a pause, he added: "Legend has it that this chaos was originally faceless, and there were no seven tricks in life, and then there were people who did good things to chisel a trick for it every day, and after seven days, the seven tricks were completed, and the chaos died." In fact, you don't have to be frightened, you must know that in the Han and Tang dynasties, there was already this folk custom, and it was to use the 'four fierces' as the beast of the town house to keep the wind and rain smooth. At present, this abandoned mansion is very old, and it is reasonable to find a chaotic stone sculpture in this attic, and there is no need to make a fuss......"

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but interrupt Qu Baoshu's words, and asked straightforwardly: "Senior Qu, have you ever heard of the sentence 'Poyang Lake, Old Man Temple, Yin Soldier Dance, Chaos Beast'?"
