Chapter 31: The Fourth Man

"Well, what's wrong with Brother Chu?" In the dim firelight, Guanyue saw Chu Xunyu stunned in place, thinking that something had happened again, and hurriedly asked.

"Nothing. Chu Xunyu straightened up and shook his head. But his eyes were secretly staring at the dilapidated loom, looking at the silk thread in his hand, and standing in place thoughtfully.

At this time, Guanyue walked back and said to Chu Xunyu: "Could it be that there is some mystery hidden in this loom?"

"I don't know, but I seem to have some impression of this loom, so let's take this and go back and check it out. With that, Chu Xunyu waved his long sleeves, and the technique in his sleeve was used again, putting the dilapidated and old loom into his sleeve.

In normal times, with the personality of Guanyue, it is inevitable to find out a thing or two about Chu Xunyu's behavior, but the current situation is not what it used to be, and it is still important to find Mei Wan, so it doesn't matter so much, he said directly to Chu Xunyu: "I found something on the other end just now, go over and take a look, maybe there are some clues." ”

Chu Xunyu nodded, didn't say much, and walked directly to the other end of the room, at this time, Guanyue pointed to the corner of the wall with his hand and said, "It's these two." ”

Chu Xunyu handed over the fire fold, and after reading it, he was stunned, and suddenly said strangely: "Is it really a puppet of the organ?"

"I don't look at it, it feels like a living human sacrifice, so please Brother Chu to take a look, the Medicine King Mansion has always been famous for its puppet technique, so Brother Chu still takes a closer look. Guanyue shook her head and said to the two things in front of her.

The soybean-sized flames jumped non-stop, and under this faint lighting condition, Chu Xunyu saw what was in front of him clearly. There were two statues in the shape of children in the corner, but strangely enough, the two children stood there on the left and right, the child on the left with his right hand outstretched and the child on the right with his left hand, and at the same time raised above his head and pulled together. At this time, a delicately carved stone axe nailed the two small hands to the wall fiercely. Two thin chains came out of the handle of the axe, which passed through the noses of the two children and were finally tied to the other free hand.

If you look closely at the faces of these two children, it is simply lifelike, if it were not for the dust on them, I would really think that two children are standing here. At this time, Guanyue said suspiciously: "At first, I thought it was just a puppet, but the shape is realistic, I don't dare to say anything, and I ask Brother Chu to take a closer look if it is a puppet of a living person." ”

Chu Xunyu squatted down, stretched out the fire fold in front of his eyes, carefully touched it with his fingers, and there was nothing unusual, he gently scraped off a piece of dust with his fingers, revealing his brown face, and knocked lightly, there was nothing special. Chu Xunyu nodded and said, "It is indeed a puppet of the agency, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

"That's it. Guanyue nodded, and asked again: "If it is a puppet that makes such a strange posture, there must be some mystery, let's see if there is anything abnormal." ”

Chu Xunyu raised his head, looked at the hands of the two children, stared at the stone axe, looked at the patterns on it, and always felt a little familiar, his hand touched all the way down the lines, and found that the chain was also full of this pattern, convex and concave, like a ghost head, and like a fish mouth.

Raising his head, looking at the stone axe, thinking about it for a while, Chu Xunyu said coldly: "This is the 'Big Hammer Nail Soul Lock'!"

Watching the moon puzzled, he asked, "What does this mean?"

Chu Xunyu pointed at the axe: "According to legend, in ancient times, the axe was not a weapon, but a torture tool. It is used to suppress evil spirits and scare ghosts. The axe in front of me is the 'Great Hammer Nail Soul Lock', which is said to have originated in the Han Dynasty and is specially used to nail the traitorous and evil people, so that their souls will never be reborn. ”

Guanyue smiled lightly and said: "It seems that this is the reason, I speculate that the nail here is probably the weeping female ghost who has been interfering with our divine consciousness, if we unlock this lock, it is estimated that we will be able to see such evil things, as long as she is removed, then the whereabouts of the young lady will naturally be known, and Brother Chu will know how to open this lock?"

"That's easy, just pull out the axe. ”

Guanyue listened, and held the handle of the axe with his hand: "Time is urgent, Brother Chu and step back, in case there is a change, and pull out this axe for the sake of it." ”

Chu Xunyu originally wanted to stop such a reckless move, but then he thought about it, the room was so big, and if he wanted to have a following, he had to do it, so he didn't say much.

I saw Guanyue clenching it with her right hand and shouting: "Get up!" The whole body was full of demonic energy, and there was a sense of great power, but this small axe was only dragged on the wall and shook one or two, and there was no sense of loosening, which made the two people dumbfounded for a while. How much power Guanyue has at this time, the two of them know very well, this is good, this axe is just shaking.

Guanyue was a little angry, and when she thought of Mei Wan's whereabouts, she said angrily: "I don't want this monster to be so strong, looking at my means." ”

Put the folding fan in his left hand into his sleeve, and then also pull the chain of the axe handle, exert force with both hands at the same time, let out a low shout, pull back hard, "bang", and straighten the chain.

"Wait!" Chu Xunyu exclaimed, then pointed to the faces of the two children's sculptures, and said, "Do you see any changes?"

Guanyue let go of the chain, bent down, and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. It turned out that the chain passed through the noses of these two children, and just now I pulled the chain hard, but I didn't expect that on the faces of these two sculptures, the cheekbone muscles were wrinkled, and the corners of the mouth seemed to be pulled a little, Guanyue looked at Chu Xunyu, and said suspiciously: "What?

Chu Xunyu was also surprised, looked at the two children's puppets, bent down, checked them carefully, and said strangely: "It's really surprising, if it's really difficult to get out of the public here, then these two must be puppets, and the puppets should be all made of materials, how to have a sense of pain." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a puppet or not, but this mechanism must be opened, there are a lot of weirdness here, and Miss's life is also in danger, so I can't take care of it so much. Guanyue held the handle of the axe with both hands again, and shouted, and suddenly a golem appeared behind him, with six hands, and at the same time, the void grabbed the handle of the axe, and the eight hands worked together, and with a "open!", the axe was pulled out little by little.

It didn't take half a cup of tea to take the axe, and the axe was completely pulled out, only to see a low sound, and the axe came out in response, and finally left the wall. At this time, Guanyue let out a sigh of relief and threw the axe on the ground at will.

At this moment, the hands of the two little children suddenly fell at the same time, and the two statues, with a heavy wheezing sound, slid to the sides, revealing a small hole in the ground, and a flight of stairs protruded downward. Guanyue stretched out his head and looked down, only to see that the cave was dark, and he couldn't see anything, and frowned, but he still stepped in without hesitation.

Chu Xunyu also followed calmly, holding the fire fold, and walked to the stairs of the sections, when the figures were about to enter the hole, the corners of his eyes flashed, as if he saw the statues of the two little children, and his expressions changed again, as if the corners of his mouth were raised, staring at himself and laughing. Although Chu Xunyu saw it in his eyes, he was not slow under his feet, knowing that there was an article under the stairs, but when things came to this point, he couldn't help but go in.

Holding the fire fold, under the faint light of the fire, I walked down the spiral staircase, I don't know how long, and finally saw the exit. At the bottom of the stairs, a small square room entrance appeared in front of you, and at a glance, the room was pitch black, and in the darkness, a figure loomed.

Seeing this figure, Chu Xunyu and Guanyue were both in shape, and then walked in on guard. When the fire in his hand spread to the figure in the room, the vision gradually became clearer, and in the center of the room stood a woman, her long hair hanging down, covering her face, wearing a green shirt, her hands tied upside down behind her head, and a rope, hanging from the wooden beam in the middle. It's the same as the picture on the dilapidated loom just now, it's Mei Wan.

"Miss!" Guanyue was not in a hurry at this time, because Mei Wan was hanging there, her chest fell together, obviously not dead, but fainted. Guanyue himself looked at him quietly, after all, he was a person who had experienced the battlefield of life and death, calmed down, looked around, and saw what was wrong.

I saw that this room, like the outside, was also full of various torture instruments, Chu Xunyu pointed ahead and said, "Look there." ”

Looking at the moon, I saw four pairs of shackles hanging on the wall behind Mei Wan. Two large and two small. Guanyue was stunned for a moment, and said: "Isn't this exactly the legend outside? The legend of the disappearance of a family of four for no reason, the shackles here are two large and two small, just the two parents and two children. It seems that the legends here are all true. ”

"Not bad. Chu Xunyu nodded: "The statues outside are the two children." Do you remember that as soon as we showed our senses, there was a burst of scolding and crying women's voices interfering? ”

"It's very willing to be the reason for this woman. Guanyue agreed: "Since ancient times, this resentful woman is the most vicious, looking at the current situation, it is very likely that someone killed their family, and this woman's ghost is not gone, and she is here to commit murder." ”

After looking around, and making sure that there was no other abnormality, he walked cautiously and vigilantly in front of Mei Wan, who was hanging. When I looked up, I saw the peerless face under the long hair, and at this moment my eyes were closed, leaving only my nose still breathing, and I fell together, as if telling the torture I had suffered in this darkness.

Guanyue couldn't bear it, and shouted out of thin air at the moment: "You want a demon woman, you will die when you die, why do you come out to do evil again, kidnap my young lady?" Now I will save her, if I find any three long and two short, I Guanyue swears here, even if I chase you to the ends of the earth, I will also capture you, and use the fire of the nine shadows to roast your three souls and seven spirits, so that you can live, without a moment of peace, and after death, you will also suffer all kinds of torture. After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the rope on his head broke at the moment, Mei Wan fell weightlessly, and Guanyue hugged it, but his eyes looked around, and he made sure that there was nothing abnormal, so he breathed a sigh of relief, shook Mei Wan in his arms, and called softly: "Miss, Miss." ”

At this time, Chu Xunyu had been watching all this calmly on the side, and saw that the person had been saved, and there was nothing else, so he took the fire fold and walked over, just about to say something, suddenly the fire in his hand tilted back, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked forward, only to see the wall behind the moon, in the dim firelight, in addition to the backs of the three of them, a fourth shadow appeared, and slowly stretched out a hand to the two people in front of the moon. Chu Xunyu was shocked: "Be careful!

Guanyue had already expected that things would not be simple, so he turned around and looked back. Suddenly, Mei Wan in her arms opened her eyes, raised her head, showed a mouth full of silver teeth, smiled weirdly, and opened her mouth to bite Guanyue's neck......
