Chapter 139: The Bottomless Pit
When the princess patriarch learned of this, he was furious and ordered the corpses of the warriors who had been buried to be dug up, hung on poplar trees, and allowed the rotting 'flesh' to be eaten by vultures and crows, and then the bones were burned to ashes and sprinkled in the dung pit.
The princess's body was also buried somewhere else, so that they could never be together.
But seven days later, the patriarch died suddenly. Half a month later, the man who married the princess was also found dead in the 'bed'.
At first, everyone thought it was just a coincidence, but the tribe never had peace again, and from time to time someone died from it. Slowly, a rumor spread here, saying that the princess and the warrior had a grievance that had come back for revenge after walking on the Naihe Bridge.
Although the tribe also invites sorcerers to catch souls and lamas to transcend, there are still a lot of bizarre things that happen every year. The two tribes, which were originally powerful, slowly began to decay in this way.
For thousands of years, the vast majority of the people here have migrated out, leaving only a very small number of people who are unable to leave their homeland to survive here.
Hearing this, Tan Hao's mind immediately floated with the poplar tree covered with rune paper, and the mysterious old man, could it be...... , he resisted the urge to ask, for fear of a stinging 'excited', this driver went crazy again.
However, Tan Hao couldn't help but interrupt him, a little incomprehensible: "Since you all know that this place is mysterious and dangerous, why do you still want to come? And I see that your familiarity with this place is obviously not once or twice. Why, exactly, is there a secret here?"
The driver fell silent, and a panicked look flashed in his eyes.
Although his eyes changed quickly, he was still keenly captured by Tan Hao. Tan Hao suddenly laughed, and when he stepped forward, he was beaten violently, only rolling the driver on the ground, and he couldn't take care of himself in pain.
"Don't, don't fight!" I said!
Under Tan Hao's obscenity, the driver finally gave in and begged for mercy: "I said, I said, in fact, I am a tomb robber." ”
As soon as the driver's words came out, several people present were stunned at the same time.
"Hu, Hu Bayi?"
"Hu a hammer, I'm still Wu Xie!"
Hao Jian's face was full of disdain, and Tan Hao's mind floated to the stolen tomb just now, as well as the cold fragrance.
"Then you can rob your own tombs, why do you have to drag us in and suffer crimes. Hao Jian came back to his senses, and angrily rushed forward and kicked wildly, which relieved the hatred in his heart a little.
"There is too much yin here, and some yang energy is needed to dilute it. Tan Hao said suddenly, paused, ignored the driver with a dirty face, and asked curiously: "I have seen the graves on the hillside before, and almost all of them have been stolen, you should have done it." But you keep showing up here, do you mean......"
Tan Hao was suddenly stunned, and the tomb just now and the wetland that had been dented a few meters down in his mind once again floated in his mind, and a crazy thought popped up in his mind.
Why don't I steal a treasure too?
"Yes, legend has it that in order to appease the princess's anger, the tribe later built a magnificent underground tomb palace for her, in which amazing wealth was buried. The driver finally sprinkled the beans in the bamboo tube, and all the 1510 were poured out, he was scared by Tan Hao. This person doesn't look like the type of five big and three thick, why does it hurt so much to beat people.
"I see. "Everyone came to their senses, and in this way, the whole thing could be roughly straightened out.
However, Tan Hao's doubts were still not resolved, and after enduring it again and again, he finally asked, but this time he changed the way he asked: "Is there really anything unclean in this village?"
The driver's face changed, and he said scaredly: "I don't know." ”
Tan Hao saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, and he knew that he couldn't ask anymore, and if he asked again, he would probably be 'driven' crazy. He changed the subject and said, "Who was the aunt who got off the bus first at the beginning?"
The driver was quite straightforward this time, and he said without thinking about it: "She seems to be a resident of the village, and she is a little mentally abnormal, and she often talks crazy and does some inexplicable things." ”
"Oh, what did you do?" Tan Hao asked.
"She often worshipped the poplar tree, and often made offerings; Sometimes he would take a kitchen knife and axe and cut down the tree frantically; Sometimes they spread out straw mats and slept under trees; There's a lot of it. What's even more ridiculous is that one day every month, she would 'get' a large bucket of dog blood, sprinkle it on herself, and pour it in the yard of the house. ”
"Huh?"
Could it be that he was drenched in dog blood, and when he went to the hillside, the smell of blood attracted the attack of the herding mastiff, so he was unfortunately killed? Tan Hao thought.
"What did that old woman do again?" the driver asked with some curiosity.
"She's dead. Tan Hao said lightly.
"Dead?" not only the driver, but even Hao Jian, a middle-aged man with a sallow face, shouted in shock.
"Dead. Tan Hao repeated.
"It's really dead. The driver's eyes widened and he muttered in a bit of despair.
"What's going on?" Tan Hao noticed a hint of something strange and hurriedly asked.
The driver was stunned for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and then said with a frightened expression on his face: "Last month, the old woman was crazy there, and everyone said that her ancestors would come to the earth next month to take her back to the arms of the gods. I didn't expect this to come true. ”
She added, she added...... "The driver has become stammering, and there is no longer a trace of blood on his face."
"What else are you talking about?" Hao Jian couldn't help but hurriedly asked.
She also said that the people of the village should cleanse themselves of their sins, sacrifice their ancestors with their blood, and finally throw themselves into the arms of the earth. After the driver said this, his pupils continued to dilate, his vision began to slowly dissolve, and the 'spirit' seemed to have signs of collapse.
"Shhhh
Everyone gasped and looked at each other, and a cold air penetrated the 'door' of their brains from the soles of their feet, and they only felt a chill in their hands and legs.
Tan Hao stopped talking, just stood there quietly thinking about the problem, so many clues were integrated, things would definitely not be a coincidence, there seemed to be a vast net behind it, quietly enveloping this village.
Who was the ancestor he was talking about? was it a princess, or a warrior, or was it the mysterious old man he had seen? He didn't dare to jump to conclusions, but one thing was certain: there must be something unclean in this village, and there were quite a few of them.
At this time, Hao Jian said irritably: "In this case, you better take us away quickly, otherwise we will all die here." ”
The driver smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, I really didn't lie to you, the battery is dead, if you don't believe it, I'll give you the car keys, and you can go wherever you like." ”
Thinking of the bus just now, which did not have four-wheel drive and was still running at high speed with flames, Hao Jian and the two shivered at the same time, and the idea of leaving for a while shrank back.
What should I do? A few people were completely 'messed up'.
......
Late at night.
At this time, the whole village was silent, there was no moon in the sky, there were no stars, and if it were not for the dim light of a house, I am afraid that I would not be able to reach out and lose my fingers.
Several people huddled on the head of a pit, and none of them were sleepy.
As a lesbian, Qiu Mooning slept in another room next door. Tan Hao originally wanted to "squeeze" with her on the grounds of protecting her safety, but Qiu Mo Ning said a word to him.
"If you're not afraid of becoming a eunuch, come here. ”
Tan Hao suddenly lost this thought.
Hao Jian was a little strange about the two of them sleeping in separate rooms, Tan Hao had to make a haha, saying that Qiu Moning had a quarrel with her and didn't let him go to bed.
Several people huddled together, worried and scared for most of the day, looking very tired and haggard.
Tan Hao really couldn't sleep, so he wanted to go to the poplar tree to have a look. But it was dark outside, and although his eyesight was different from ordinary people, it was impossible for him to see night as day, so he found a miner's lamp and soon came to the entrance of the village.
The poplar trees were terrifying in the dark, the wind was blowing, all the runes and branches were flying, and the sound of bells was particularly harsh in the middle of the night
After turning around a few times, Tan Hao didn't notice the slightest, so he walked towards the tomb on the west side without hesitation.
The scene here is terrifying, and everywhere the lights sweep it, there are uneven and withered weeds. The 'yin' air around is very heavy, and the howling mountain wind keeps blowing, Tan Hao can't help but feel a little 'hairy' in his heart.
When he was about to come to the tomb, he stopped and looked up at the sky.
A fiery red light swept across the sky like a meteor, and soon flew in his direction, and after about a minute or two, it finally landed on the top of a mountain not far away.
Is this a god thing?
Just when Tan Hao was a little confused, there was a sudden sound of conversation on the hillside.
Someone?
Tan Hao was startled, could it be a cultivator? That fire just now, what kind of flying magic weapon can't it be? He hurriedly turned off the miner's lamp and hid with little wings.
Two people floated from the hillside, and they couldn't see their clothes clearly in the dark.
"Hey, I saw the light here just now, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?" The voice sounded, listening to that voice, it shouldn't be very old.
"It should be a tomb robber, and I don't know which grave 'hole' to get into. Another old man's voice sounded, and although he could feel that it was an old man, he felt very deep and full of energy.
"Senior brother, shall we find him?" the young man said in a low voice.
"This.... Don't make a fuss. ”
"Then let's go, let's go to the entrance of the village first. Tighten the new seal on that dryad. The young man said lightly, but his eyes were like a sharp sword, constantly sweeping back and forth around the tomb, and when he passed by Tan Hao's hideout, he paid attention to it twice. It's just that I didn't find anything suspicious, so I walked down with a puzzle on my face.
After they were far away, Tan Hao appeared.
In the night, Tan Hao didn't see the appearance of the two clearly, but why do I feel that these two people are so familiar?Tan Hao thought. Who are they?What is the mission of coming here?Seems to know a lot about the situation here?Is that poplar tree a demon?With a lot of questions, Tan Hao went into the grave.
He quickly found the deep wetland, and under Tan Hao's True Qi bombardment, the wetland completely sank in, revealing a dark hole.
A strong 'damp' musty smell with corrosive, cold incense came to the nostrils.
Yes, there is.
Tan Hao stretched out his head to look and found that this 'hole' and 'hole' were very deep, and it was almost impossible to see the bottom.
After hesitating, Tan Hao jumped down directly.
I've found this, and I'm still afraid of a ball?
"Bang"
After gliding through the air for six or seven seconds, Tan Hao finally landed on the ground.
After unloading the powerful momentum, Tan Hao stood up, patted the mud on his body, and looked around vigilantly.
