I turned my head to Tenzin and said, "It seems that we can only know the truth now after the goods are handed over."
"Haha, if you want that kid to cooperate obediently, it will be even harder than reaching the sky. He is already crazy. He won't give up until he reaches the Yellow River, and there is no way he can be saved." Yun Dingxiang sneered.
"You can't say that. Although your brother is not an honest man, he still has a strong sense of crisis. Otherwise, he would not ask Tenzin to take such a big risk to bring things here. Moreover, he also hid everything
The rumors clearly show that what he wants to do is not a trivial matter."
Yun Dingxiang sighed and said, "Actually, I guessed what he wanted to do, but it's almost impossible to succeed."
"Oh?" I asked curiously, "What did you guess?"
Yun Dingxiang shook his head and said, "It's better to wait until you meet him and ask him yourself."
Although Yun Dingxiang did not tell him directly, a closed loop gradually formed in my mind: the ancient tomb we accidentally discovered was not an accident. At least before the corpse poison in the ancient tomb was leaked, someone was already beating it.
idea, and these people are the gang of tomb robbers that Yun Dingxiang encountered. After the tomb robbers appeared, a series of strange things happened in the area around Heiyun Village. Zombies bit people and monsters appeared.
The monsters encountered along the way to Immortal Peak can basically be concluded to have come out of ancient tombs. According to Yun Dingxiang, this ancient tomb is the early tomb of Heiyun Village. From this, it can be seen that the whole thing
Please have the most direct connection with Heiyun Village. After the incident, Heiyun Village has taken measures, but Yun Ding'e insisted on going his own way, believing that such an incident was caused by the escape of the old man in the lunatic village, and returned to its roots.
, because the soul-suppressing pagoda, the "treasure of the village" hidden in Heiyun Village more than thirty years ago, was lost. For this reason, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of all the elderly in the village. At the same time, he secretly sent Tenzin to send three
The purpose of packing a box of mysterious goods should also be to prevent the situation from escalating.
So, up to now, we can sort out the whole thing into three key points: First, the curse. This is also the core issue of the whole thing. The corpse poison in the ancient tomb is very likely to be related to the poison passed down from generation to generation in Heiyun Village.
"Curse" is related to the two. The two are very similar. Once contaminated, they will cause the corpse to transform into a zombie. The second is the soul-suppressing pagoda. Although the soul-suppressing pagoda was stolen more than thirty years ago, the role of the soul-suppressing pagoda must be
It is very closely related to the "curse" of Heiyun Village. Maybe this pagoda was used to restrain the curse. However, the pagoda was stolen for more than thirty years and there has been no news yet, making the truth of the incident even more mysterious.
The third is tomb robbers. This group of people chose this ancient tomb with a clear goal. What is their purpose? In the ancient tomb, we found that the artifacts inside had not been stolen. This is very telling. It shows that the purpose of these people is not to escape.
If they came with treasure, what could it be? If so, connect these three points and make a bold hypothesis: the direct purpose of this group of people robbing the tomb is to get something in the tomb, and after such things are lost, they become
It will cause serious consequences - exactly the same as what Sanniang warned after the soul-suppressing pagoda was lost - zombies, monsters and other strange things have come true one by one, so is it possible that this thing may be similar to the soul-suppressing pagoda?
thing.
Thinking of this, I suddenly became enlightened and asked: "Old man, do you know if there is any treasure similar to the Soul-Calming Pagoda in Heiyun Village?"
Yun Dingxiang thought for a while and said, "I don't know much. Yun Ding'e is the clan leader, so he should know more than me."
Since he said that, I will not ask any more questions. The first priority is to find Yun Ding'e.
After saying that, we walked into the cave. It was dark inside and I couldn't see my fingers. I searched around the pillars and finally found a miserable kerosene lamp, but the cover outside had long been cracked.
"Just use it!" I picked up the kerosene lamp and prepared to hand it to Ren Yonghai behind me, because I didn't have a lighter and wanted him to light it.
I thought that Ren Yonghai reached out his hand and quickly took the light, but there was no movement for a long time.
I was just about to ask a question when my shoulders suddenly felt heavy.
Ren Yonghai's voice came from behind: "Where did the light come from?"
I instinctively pulled back and threw the person behind me out of the darkness.
The person didn't expect that I would react so violently, and was completely unprepared. He said "Oh!" and was completely thrown off his game.
I hurriedly knelt down to check and saw Ren Yonghai fell to the ground. He gasped, covered his head and said angrily: "What are you doing!"
I picked up the kerosene lamp and stammered: "I...I just...you were not next to me and you took the lamp away. Why did you run behind me again?"
"Oil lamp?" Ren Yonghai's expression looked particularly distorted in the darkness, "You...didn't you just ask me for a lighter? I've always been wondering, why did you snatch it?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I helped Ren Yonghai up and said in a deep voice, "Something's wrong."
As if to verify my words, suddenly there was a harsh scratching sound on the wall, accompanied by a burst of sharp laughter.
Ren Yonghai also became alert and asked, "Did you see the other person's face clearly just now?"
"No, that person moved very quickly and took it over in a swish. I just thought you were lighting a lamp for me and didn't pay attention at all."
"I was standing next to you, but then a shadow came over. As soon as I turned my head, the lighter was taken away. I thought you were going to use fire..." He stopped mid-sentence and pricked up his ears.
Listening carefully, "I don't know where the scratching sound is coming from, why is it coming from all directions?"
"Everyone, be careful!"
"Old man, do you know what's going on?"
Yun Dingxiang shook his head and said: "Normally no one dares to come into this ancestral hall. I am old and know that my time is short. I often come in when I think of the sad past, and I haven't encountered anything strange."
"That's weird. There shouldn't be any filthy things in the ancestral hall."
After hearing my words, Yun Dingxiang thought back to the fact that he had lost the soul-suppressing pagoda, and murmured: "I'm afraid the reason for the sudden strangeness these days is because I made a big mistake and lost the soul-suppressing pagoda.
"
He had already been blaming himself for the disappearance of the God Team members, but now that the whole village was about to be implicated, he suddenly became furious and his eyesight became dim.
When I saw Yun Dingxiang suddenly shaking, I thought he was unwell.
"Are you OK?"
"I'm not in the way."
But I have just sorted out the causes and consequences. The loss of the soul-suppressing pagoda is only a part of it, and is not the direct cause of the current situation. The culprit should be the group of tomb robbers.
Just as he was talking, a scream came from the opposite side.
I was shocked, "Isn't this Qianba's voice?"
Ren Yonghai replied affirmatively, "That's him!"
The two of us didn't dare to wait, so we looked for Qiangba's cry for help, but this ancestral hall was a big place, and Qiangba was nowhere to be found.
"There! There is someone down there!" Deyang Ram, who has sharp eyes, immediately saw that there is another layer of space under our feet. It turns out that this cave is not one layer, and the lower layer of space is connected to the upper layer of space through a wooden ladder.
I rushed up and saw that most of Qianba's body was hanging on the stairs, with only two hands left to hold on.
As soon as Qiangba saw someone coming, he immediately shouted for help: "Hurry, save me, save me."
I glanced down and heard two strange "sizzling" sounds, and a "human" hand covered with white hair came out from his waist.
At a glance, I saw a white water monkey climbing up Jianba's body.
It is said to be a water monkey, but in fact this name is not accurate. The "water monkey" is actually the larvae of the three-tailed shark, and it is only among the people that it is mistaken for a "water ghost".
The "water monkey" in front of us is the real water ghost.
Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen the true face of this thing clearly at such a close distance. This water monkey is not similar to ordinary monkeys at all. It has a long horse face, a rickety back, and a pair of hands that are very similar to humans. It He was about the same length as a five or six-year-old child. His whole body exuded a putrid smell. There was a layer of cocoon on his eyes. He seemed to be unable to see clearly under the strong light. He only hugged Qianba's waist and abdomen, and kept on. Pull down.
I held on to Qianba with all my strength. Seeing this, Ren Yonghai gave a loud shout and rushed to
They stepped forward and grabbed Jianba's other hand. The three of them all knew that if they dragged this beast into the water, they would have to wait for death, so they did not dare to relax at all.
There was a big hole in Jianba's shoulder, presumably because the white-haired beast took a bite from it. He kept swinging his legs and feet, trying to throw the thing away. But the white-haired water monster had barbs on its claws. He held Qianba tightly and refused to let go, and soon blood oozed from Qianba's waist.
"It's out of control. You hold him. I'll go down and take care of that beast!" Seeing that the man was about to be dragged into the water, I simply let go of my hands, picked up the dagger and slid down the ladder.
Qiangba's flesh was hooked, and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain.
When the white-haired water monster saw someone coming down to compete with him for dinner, he bared his teeth and took out a claw to scratch at me.
I quickly turned sideways and passed the sharp claws that were trying to hook the skin and flesh. But Jumba was not so lucky. The water monkey took away a large piece of his skin and flesh when it drew its claws. He almost fainted from the pain. In the past, I kept yelling and cursing, and it seemed that I was extremely scared.
I didn't dare to slow down, so I took the dagger with my backhand and stabbed it hard into the water monkey's neck.
Because it was hanging in mid-air, it was difficult for me to control my strength at this moment. Fortunately, the water monkey was not smart, so it attacked me, so I hit the target with my knife and stabbed it into the beast's back.
It was in pain and screamed wildly. The sound was sharp and sharp, like a knife cutting people's heads. The beast went crazy and tried to pounce on me again. I quickly stabbed and scratched the beast, only half of it was cut. Only when a piece of the skylight was lifted out from the side of his body did he stop.
"Old Ren, help me!"
Ren Yonghai and I worked together to pull the injured Qiang up.
At this time, I carefully inspected the water monkey and found that it had not yet expired, and its body was full of green pus, which was extremely fishy.
"Old man, have you ever seen this thing?"
Yun Dingxiang shook his head and said: "It seems that these things are becoming more and more unruly. Now they even dare to break into the ancestral hall."
"So, these monsters are no longer in the village originally?"
Yun Dingxiang nodded and said: "Yes, to be honest, although this Madman Village is a desperate place, before the soul-suppressing pagoda disappeared, the environment here was still very good, and the elderly were also happy to retire here.
Even if time is short, you can still die a worthy death. However, since the pagoda was lost, this madman village has become less peaceful. Monsters that originally only appeared in the forbidden area have come to the village to run wild."
"But even so, the situation is still within the controllable range. Firstly, every household has a dog, and the dog can guard the house. These beasts will be chased by the dog as soon as they appear. Secondly, after all, the people in the village do not care about them.
These beasts are familiar with each other and have ways to deal with them, so no major accidents have ever happened."
"You mean that things got out of control only recently?" Xu Yaxian interjected.
Yun Dingxiang nodded and said: "Yes, since I suspected that the tomb robbers visited the ancient tomb and triggered this series of strange things, the situation in the lunatic village has become increasingly pessimistic. First, an old man died suddenly for no reason, and then another
Several fights occurred in succession, tell me, is it unbelievable that a few dying old men became so violent?"
"When things go wrong, there must be a monster."
"Nowadays, monsters can come and go freely in the crazy village, and it has become like a deserted land. After Yun Ding'e knew this, he made up his mind to massacre the village."
"Old man, is there something hidden in the ancient tomb?" I suddenly asked.
Yun Dingxiang pondered for a moment and said: "The history of Heiyun Village is rather complicated and cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences."
"Things are going round and round, do we have to get back to the point in the end?" Ren Yonghai asked.
"What's the topic?" I glanced at him, feeling that he had already thought of this.
"Heiyun Village, the so-called curse."
"Heroes see the same thing. I also think that now that things have reached this point, it's time to find out the truth about the curse."
