Chapter 188: The Pearl Diver
The thatched houses are neatly arranged, and every household has a fenced courtyard.
Strange to say, it's obviously an island.
He was able to grow rice and raise some poultry and livestock that were completely untouched.
It is enough to see how much energy was expended when burying the owner of the tomb.
We were placed in one of the thatched huts, which was clean and tidy.
Soon, an aunt brought hot water, "Come, drink some hot water." ”
"Thank you, Auntie. ”
I picked up a bowl of hot water and tentatively said, "Have you always lived in the village?"
The aunt had a simple smile on her face and said, "Our ancestors have lived here for generations, and no one has ever come in or gone out. ”
Nobody has ever come in, I believe it!
It's just that no one has ever gone out......
Doesn't it mean that every once in a while, the village will send people out to feed the man-eating man-eating bats and water demons?
I subconsciously noticed that my aunt was lying, and deliberately said, "When I came in, I saw some dead people's bones, aren't they from the village?"
Sure enough, a trace of panic flashed on the aunt's face, and she grabbed her apron and rubbed it crampedly, "I don't know, what dead man's bones ......"
The people in this village obviously don't lie, and the answers are written on their faces.
I have made up my mind in my heart, so I no longer feel sorry for my aunt, and pretended not to care and said, "I guess someone from outside accidentally broke in, don't take it to heart." ”
The aunt was obviously relieved, and said with a relieved smile, "I'll go out and make some bread and broth for you first." ”
"I'm just hungry, give me more meat. ”
Silently hearing that there was something to eat, he immediately tore off the white cloth covering the gold ingots, took out one from the small gold mountain in Huang Cancan, and handed it to the aunt.
The aunt's face was full of doubts, and she didn't reach out to pick it up, and muttered, "What is this?"
Well, the village is not large, and there is no need for gold or silver to live in groups.
After so many years, the villagers have long forgotten the use of gold and silver.
"My friend doesn't know the rules here, but he thinks things look good and wants to give them to his aunt as a reward. ”
I hurriedly stepped forward and explained with a smile.
"These pimples are just good-looking, and they are useless, so please keep them. ”
The aunt suddenly realized, covered her mouth and smiled shyly, "This guest wants more meat, I think I'm hungry, I'll cook immediately." ”
"Tired aunt. ”
I did the same as in the TV series and got up and behaved.
Silently looked at the gold ingots in his hand with a complicated expression, and said in disbelief, "In this world, there will be people who don't like gold? ”
Haha, dog, I brought the gold all the way, and carefully covered it with a white cloth, and I couldn't even buy a piece of meat when it came.
I look at the way I eat, and I feel very funny.
Lingzang, who hadn't spoken much, looked at the back of the aunt leaving, and muttered secretly, "The world is so big, there are no wonders, who would have thought that inside an island, there is a quaint village that has been followed for thousands of years." ”
"Yes, I can't think of it. ”
The head of the jaw echoed.
In the past, I guess no one here could believe it.
Eh, I didn't go to get anything at the beginning, and a pure heart and few desires seemed to rush up to get something.
Because it was too chaotic to grab the treasure, I didn't think to ask.
As soon as Ling Zang spoke, he attracted attention.
"What did you just pick up in the burial chamber?"
I asked, confused.
"It's nothing, it's just a human skin map, imprisoning a soul on it, and I want to help overtake it. ”
Lingzang said as he pulled out a delicate and smooth map from his bosom.
The moment I saw the human skin map, I remembered the human skin book on my body.
The two feel too similar.
"I looked at the overall layout of the island, and the shape of the whole island is indeed a circle, and there is a small round tomb directly below the center of the island, which is similar to the appearance of the island. ”
Lingzang spread out the map to himself, and his clear eyes looked at the lines on it.
"Is it a sign of something?"
It's exactly the same shape as the island? It's a bit weird.
Yu'er is not there, no one can make a clear judgment about what the situation is.
It seems that we have to figure out a way from the human skin map itself.
I thought of a soul imprisoned in the map, and said, "Didn't you say there were dead souls in it?" ”
"Yes!"
Lingzang bowed slightly, pinched the lotus seal with his right hand, and gently swept the surface of the human skin map.
In an instant, a foggy gray gas filled the surface of the map.
The gray gas formed the silhouette of a young girl, and she cried, "Help me...... Help me......"
It seems that spells such as ghost-plated are easier to operate on a woman's body.
Whether it is a pole or a human skin book, women with heavier negatives are selected.
This skin map looks the same......
Reizo withdrew his hand and said calmly, "You have any grievances, just say it. ”
"I am a pearl diver on the island, and inexplicably a group of officers and soldiers ran to the island overnight, coercing the people in the village to build a tomb, and on the day the tomb was repaired, they were trapped in the water hole below to feed the bats. ”
The woman's tone was very sad, and she told her story, "There was a Taoist priest who came with the officers and soldiers, and he chose me to skin me alive and draw a map. ”
It's another live skinning scene......
Obviously, I made a human skin map, not for posterity, but in the burial chamber, which is really a bit too much.
"How did you get to the burial chamber?"
I asked, confused.
"I was supposed to be taken away by the Taoist priest, but there was a riot among the officers and soldiers halfway, and the Taoist priest was hacked to death with a knife in the chaos. ”
The woman paused, and said in a deep voice, "There was an aboriginal who had mixed in with the officers and soldiers to take the map back, jumped into the sea into the tomb to dig a grave, and was killed by a female ghost. ”
I didn't expect the story in the middle to be so twisty......
I thought about it for a moment and asked the question I was most concerned about, "Do you know who is buried on the island?"
The woman shook her head and said in a deep voice, "It's not very clear, what can touch the officers and soldiers must be extremely noble figures." ”
The identity of the owner of the tomb is definitely very powerful.
However, it is a bit of a pity that I couldn't ask clearly.
Later, I may have to use a female ghost, so I won't mention reincarnation for the time being.
"When we're done, we'll send you to reincarnation, let's go back first. ”
I waved my hand, thinking secretly about finding the round tomb.
I ate and drank well in my aunt's thatched hut, and for about half an hour, there was no movement.
I was a little sleepy and drowsy, when I heard the door slam open.
"Hurry up and run with someone. ”
Yu'er rushed in with a nervous face and urged.
it, let people run away, something must have happened.
