Chapter 70: The Parchment Scroll
Chapter 70: The Parchment Scroll
Gulisa carefully opened the parchment scroll, the sheepskin was tanned and very soft, and the words on it were also treated with special pigments to make it clear. She slowly flipped through the pages one by one, and the three of them watched her read the book without saying a word, and the whole house was only the sound of Gu Lisha turning the book, and there was no other sound at all. After a long time, Gu Lisha stopped in the middle of a page, and she said to the three people: "This page seems to be about the feng shui master of the Central Plains, but it seems to say that when the sun rises in the ancient mountain of Hulu, a couple of men and women are bathed in the sun, and the whole valley is filled with sunshine, this curse can be lifted." ”
"Purring Ancient Mountain, a man and a woman, filled with sunshine, what does this mean?" Xiao Ruoshui muttered in his heart, pondering carefully.
"Purring Ancient Mountain, Sunshine, a man and a woman, isn't this talking about you?" said the high priest with a sudden realization pointing at Xiao Ruoshui and Gu Lisha.
"That's right, our old patriarch is buried in Puru Mountain, and the place where the cute corpse appears today is Sighu Mountain, it seems that it will depend on the two of you to lift the curse. The Great Elder was very excited, he seemed to see the slightest sign of the curse breaking of the hundreds of you, which made him very excited and very happy.
"The problem is that the sunny explanation can't be explained, so the Great Elder and the High Priest still take us to the Ancient Mountain to have a look, and only then can the mystery be uncovered there. Xiao Ruoshui frowned and said that he didn't think that this mystery was easy to uncover.
"I have one more thing to ask for, and that is if the Great Elder can make a copy of this book. I'll take a good look. Xiao Ruoshui said to the Great Elder.
"That's no problem, I'll find someone to copy it right away, let's go to the ancient mountain of snoring first to see what secrets are there. The eldest old man was very happy, and he immediately agreed to Xiao Ruoshui's request.
"Yes, so that the two of them will not be delayed, and they will go to the ancient mountain together. The High Priest immediately agreed, and it was true, the curse that had plagued his people for hundreds of years had kept his family cursed behind his back, so he also wanted to end the curse in his hands.
"Xiao Shaoxia, do you still have any hesitation?" the Great Elder looked at Xiao Ruoshui and said.
"That's right. Gulisha is not very convenient to go there. After all, it was a very dangerous place, and if something happened, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to protect her. Xiao Ruoshui expressed his worries.
"Don't worry about this Brother Xiao, I have also practiced kung fu for a few years. The average person is not an opponent under the bottom. Gu Lisha said suddenly.
"We'll send the best guards to protect her. Keep her out of harm's way. This Xiao Shaoxia doesn't have to worry. The Great Elder eagerly promised Xiao Ruoshui.
"That's it, Xiao Shaoxia, the Great Elder and I will protect her. Don't worry, we won't let her have anything to do. The high priest also hurriedly promised.
"Alright then, let's go to Puru Mountain. Xiao Ruoshui glanced at the three of them, and then agreed.
"Prepare your horse and go to the ancient mountain of Hulu. As soon as the Great Elder gave the order, the guards got busy, and in a short time everything was ready.
Hulu Ancient Mountain is in the south of the Hulun tribe, not far from the city, so it will be a place after a while, all the people of the Hulun tribe are buried here after death, there was a cute corpse this morning, so now the scene is still chaotic, the unburied corpses are scattered aside, next to the corpse is the person who was killed by the cute corpse, there are two, both of them were scratched by claws on the neck and died of corpse poison, the whole body was green and black, swollen, the blood was no longer flowing, the blood that flowed out had turned black, and the blood that turned into black was left on the ground. There was a strong fishy smell, and many people at the scene were stunned by this terrifying sight after seeing it, and covered their noses and began to vomit after smelling the smell.
Xiao Ruoshui stepped forward, he already had gloves as thin as cicada wings, which were made of asbestos and gold silk mixed with good silk, which could effectively isolate the erosion of foreign objects and ensure that his fingers could be used flexibly.
When Xiao Ruoshui cautiously stepped forward to check the corpses, suddenly the two corpses jumped up violently, grabbed Xiao Ruoshui with both hands, and everyone shouted, "Be careful." Xiao Ruoshui rolled on the spot, dodged the attack of the two corpses, and stood up with a kick. The two corpses followed like shadows, grabbing Xiao Ruoshui, their faces were pale, there was black blood on their necks, their hands showed claw makeup, and they were very terrifying.
Xiao Ruoshui's feet continued to connect the dots, and with his right hand he stretched out and grabbed the branch of a big tree, swung on the branch, and stood on the big tree to observe. The two zombies seemed to be only interested in Xiao Ruoshui, jumping under the tree and grabbing the trunk with their hands, as if they were going to climb the tree.
Xiao Ruoshui shouted loudly: "Give me the knife." When the Great Elder heard the greeting, he immediately pulled out his waist knife and threw it at Xiao Ruoshui on the tree. Xiao Ruo copied it, the handle of the knife was cold, the back of the knife was three points thick, and the blade was as thin as a wing, and he couldn't help but say: "Good knife." He kicked the tree, flew towards the zombies like arrows, and slashed at the necks of the two corpses with the knife in his hand, and the knife fell overhead, and the two zombies immediately fell to the ground, and as soon as their heads landed, they swayed from side to side on the ground, but their headless limbs fell to the ground motionless. A group of people couldn't help but applaud by Xiao Ruoshui's dashing knife, you must know that it takes a very accurate technique to accurately cut off people's necks, and it is the necks of two people, and at the same time, it is indeed difficult to let zombies scratch them. Everyone was still trembling in fright by this strange scene, looking at the swaying head on the ground, and the mouth kept opening and closing, as if they were going to bite Xiao Ruoshui, everyone who saw this scene was like seeing a ghost, and their bodies kept trembling. Hands tremble.
Xiao Ruoshui carried the treasure knife and stepped forward, and he shouted: "Bring a bag." The high priest hurriedly brought a bag over, and Xiao Ruo copied the knife in his hand, put the two heads into the bag, and tied the mouth. The bag is made of dead cowhide, which is very strong, and it is estimated that it is difficult to bite through. Xiao Ruoshui threw the bag on the carriage, and then said, "Bury the body, be careful not to touch the skin, Great Elder, priest, let's go up to the valley and have a look." After hearing Xiao Ruoshui's words, everyone immediately sent a few people to watch the carriage, and the rest began to dig a pit to bury the dead.
Xiao Ruoshui, along with the Great Elder, the High Priest, Gu Lisha and a group of guards, climbed the Purr Ancient Mountain and looked at the valley of the Purr Ancient Mountain. The sunlight casts into the valley between the two mountains, and the deep places between the valleys never seem to shine, and it is very eerie and terrifying. There seemed to be a tall and majestic building inside, as if it were a tomb.
"Is that tomb the tomb of the old patriarch?" Xiao Ruoshui asked the Great Elder while standing on the mountain.
"Yes, that's the patriarch's grave, where the cute corpse came out, our clan has a rule to say hello to the patriarch when buried, so every time you have to worship the old patriarch before you can be buried, who knows that Lu Dao was chased by the cute corpse and killed the two of us not long after the worship this time, and the rest of the people scattered and fled. The high priest looked at the tomb with a little timidity, and he was also afraid.
Xiao Ruoshui looked at the valley between the two mountains, and he suddenly said, "I want to go to the grave to see." ”
The crowd was shocked and said, "What, you want to go to the grave?" (to be continued......)
