Chapter 173: The Story of Hundreds of Years Ago
(The recent ticket is so sad, not explained)
What appeared in front of everyone was an extremely tall wooden building, a small complex of buildings to be exact. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is not only better preserved than other wooden buildings, but also much more gorgeous and tall.
There are high steps in front of the gatehouse, and in front of the steps there is a female wall covered with moss more than one person high, on which there are two tall stone beasts, dragon horns, cat faces, and fangs like wild boars, which can be said to be extremely strange.
"No wonder the Dragon King doesn't admit that it's his own son, so ugly. Jiang Xiuxin suddenly said coldly, her voice dry.
Yun Rui frowned and looked at this building, feeling a little uneasy, but he couldn't say anything specifically, he only felt that there was a very uncomfortable atmosphere around here.
"Brother Yun, I think this should be the royal palace in the ancient city. This place should have been quite large in the past, maybe it was the royal city of King Tusi. ”
Yun Rui nodded in agreement with Jiang Bancheng's statement. Although he doesn't understand folk history, he can also see that this building is full of the style of Miaoli in southern Xinjiang, and has the luxury of the Han family.
It was slowly getting dark, and it was more of a dead city than an ancient city, and there was not even a sound around it.
Yun Rui jumped up the steps of the women's wall, and the others followed. The first thing everyone saw was a carved gate in the middle of the two "old ten", and the lintel had decayed, and they could see the black inside. Yun Rui's eyesight was very strong, and he had already seen the corridor inside, and vaguely saw a few figures standing there motionless in the gloomy corridor.
Yun Rui released his divine sense, and the uncomfortable aura became more and more intense, and there must be something strange in it. In fact, this is not surprising, such an ancient and desolate place, it is strange that it is not weird. And it's so secluded that very few people have ever been there.
Suddenly, Jiang Tu snorted coldly and said, "What is there to hesitate, I'll open the way." After speaking, he stepped forward and pushed open the door with a palm.
"Bang-" With a bang, the decayed but still heavy door fell inside, making a dull sound, echoing in the empty deep building, looking a little frightening.
Then a puff of dust was stirred up, and a rancid stench came to the nostrils. But Jiang Tu didn't hesitate and stepped in. Gu Shaojie's body flashed and he also entered the wooden building.
Suddenly, I heard Jiang Tu's "hey", and then I heard the sound of drawing a knife. Yun Rui shook his head and followed, and everyone rushed in.
It is a hall that is covered in dust, but you can see that the furnishings inside are very luxurious. But this is nothing, mainly on the ground, and by the faint light, everyone can see a lot of bones on the ground, and there are dozens of skeletons at a glance.
"Hmph, some people are just bones, what is there to be nervous about, even the knife is pulled out. Jiang Bancheng said dissatisfiedly.
Gu Shaojie said: "Uncle Jiang, how come we are also great martial artists, these bones are worth our sword?"
Yun Rui frowned slightly, "What did you just see?" He also knew that these skeletons were not enough to make the two of them nervous. But he had a sense of consciousness, and although he was outside just now, it was impossible for the two of them to see things and not see themselves. The problem is that I really didn't see anything strange, except for a few motionless figures in the hallway, but it was impossible for the two of them to see it.
"It's not what we see, it's what we hear," Jiang said. ”
Li Beiyue said: "You were less than ten meters away from us just now, what sound did you hear but we couldn't hear?" His voice was relatively loud, and the hall buzzed.
"There was a sound in it, it was the sound of people walking. Gu Shaojie said.
"You can't go wrong. Jiang Tu also said.
As a great martial artist, of course, he won't even have this judgment. They say there are footsteps, then there must be.
I see, Yun Rui and the others were outside at that time, even if they heard the footsteps inside, they would think that it was from the two of them. But only the two who went in knew that it was not their own footsteps. Who's that?
"Friend, since you're inside, how about coming out to see you?" Li Beiyue said loudly.
“... How about coming out inside and seeing it..."Li Beiyue's echo resounded through the hall. But no one answered.
"Hmph, don't mess with ghosts!" Jiang Bancheng snorted coldly.
Yun Rui looked at the bones on the ground, and suddenly found that the time when these bones died was not the same, he pointed to a skeleton and said, "You see, this person will not die for more than fifty years. Then he pointed to another skeleton and said, "Looking at this one, it still has braids on its head, and it has been dead for at least a hundred years." These dead people didn't come in at the same time, but they all died here. ”
After Yun Rui finished speaking, he walked towards the corridor, and everyone followed. It was already dark, it was even darker inside, and the corridor was deep, if it weren't for Yunrui, there would be no way to see what was at the end of the corridor.
The corridor is lined with beautiful murals on both sides, and there are tung oil lamps in the walls, and the oil has long since turned into a cloud of black mud.
"And the lights. Li Huer said, took out the lighter and lit an oil lamp, lit it but didn't light it.
Gu Shaojie's body flashed, he withdrew from the corridor, walked to the gate, pulled out a long knife, cut a few wooden strips from the door panel, and took them back to light them. Although the warrior's night vision ability is very strong, there is a difference between having a torch and not having a torch. As soon as a few torches were lit, the corridor was clearly visible. Everyone looked at the end of the corridor, and they almost screamed except for Yun Rui.
The corridor was fifty meters deep, and at the end of it were a few people hanging from the top wall, their toes on the ground, and it seemed to be hanging in the air, and some of them looked like they were standing on the ground.
In short, hanging is not like hanging, standing is not like standing, and the posture is extremely strange. Looking at such a posture, it is better to look at hanging. Yun Rui was also a little surprised, he thought it was a few dead people standing on the ground, but he didn't expect it to be in such a posture.
Yun Rui and the others walked over and saw that the four of them were all wearing the clothes of ancient ethnic minorities, and they were all women. Their hair was long and loose, and an iron hook was hooked around their necks, which was fastened to the top wall with chains.
Strangely, their bodies were not decomposed, and they were well preserved. The expressions on their faces were not distorted, but extremely plain and natural, as if the hook was not hooking their necks, but it gave people an even more terrifying feeling.
"Ahh
"What does this mean?" Jiang Bancheng leaned closer to a female corpse to take a closer look, and the others couldn't help but look at it.
Yun Rui saw several female corpses and quickly discovered a detail, these four female corpses looked exactly the same. What does that mean? Four twin sisters died here together in this way?
"You see, the four of them look exactly the same, and they should be twin sisters. Is there any explanation for this?" Yun Rui said what he had found.
When a few people saw it, it was really like this, and they suddenly felt that things were even more weird.
Yun Rui continued, "They should have been hooked here after death. ”
Suddenly, Jiang Bancheng's face changed and said, "I once heard an old man tell a story, and I don't know if it has anything to do with it. ”
Looking at Yun Rui and the others listening, Jiang Bancheng said: "When I was young, I traveled outside, and once I found an old man in Miao District, this old man is not like a Miao person, I talked to him, and he told me that he was a bureaucracy, and now I have not heard of this clan.
The old man said that their ancestors lived in a city in the mountains, and there was a king in the city. The wingman married four twin sisters as concubines, and he was very fond of them, and every time the wingman came back from outside, he would see the four sisters come to the door to greet them together, and there was never an exception.
But once, when the wingman came back, he didn't see them come out to pick them up, and he was immediately angry, and after entering the palace, he angrily asked why he didn't meet him at the door this time.
When the king heard this, he was furious, and said, "Then I will let you wait at the door for the rest of your lives to pick me up, and you will not be left behind once." He ordered the four to be killed and hung in the doorway. It is also soaked in potion when they die, and it will not rot. That way, every time he comes back, he can see them greet him. ”
Everyone was stunned. Even Yunrui felt a little nauseous. This wingman is simply a madman, and this kind of practice is no longer cruel to describe, but crazy.
Especially when everyone listened to this story in front of four strange dead bodies, it made people feel an extraordinary chill. Maybe these four female corpses are the parties.
Jiang Bancheng continued: "Who knew that after the death of the four people, strange things happened in the city, and people died tragically every night, sometimes several died in one night, and everyone was very afraid. Some people say that the ghosts of the four sisters are still lingering, and they are desperate for their lives. He asked the king to bury the four of them, but he didn't care, and he wasn't afraid at all.
More and more people died in the city and in the royal palace, and many died in their families, and the king did not care. The rest of the people couldn't stand it anymore, so they fled from the mountain city one after another, and finally left the wingman alone.
The old man said that his ancestors were still in the Ming Dynasty when they escaped, and it was hundreds of years away from now, and the time was about the same, so I guess it might have something to do with the events in the story. ”
The others were nothing, and Jiang Xiuxin's body trembled when he heard it. It's not to blame her, this story is indeed a bit evil.
Yun Rui frowned and said, "Didn't that old man say anything about the situation of the wingman later?" He felt that the place in this story was nine times out of ten. Otherwise, it's too much of a coincidence.
"I only said that he was the only one left in the city in the end, and he didn't know anything else, after all, it was something that was handed down from his ancestors. Jiang Bancheng said.
Yun Rui touched his chin and said, "Why isn't the king himself afraid at all? Even if he is not afraid or does not believe in the ghosts of the four sisters, is he not afraid that he will die as tragically as others?
Everyone seemed to understand what Yunrui meant, and they also had such doubts.
Suddenly, Yun Rui felt that something was wrong, and then, there was a sudden sound of stepping and clicking inside, and the sound was very clear, like the sound of human footsteps.
