Tang Zhou pressed against the wall of the well, and through a few traces of moonlight cascading into the well, he finally recognized that this man, who was not human, turned out to be Ling Xuzi. It's just that the skin of his whole body has dried up, as if he had been drained of blood. After soaking in water for a long time, his skin began to turn white and wrinkle.
He settled his mind and asked: "Who knows the witchcraft art?"
Ling Xuzi's lips trembled, as if thinking of the most terrible thing in the world: "Seven Yaoshen Jade, Qi Yao..."
"Have you seen the Seven Luminaries God Jade?"
Ling Xuzi trembled a few times before screaming suddenly, but he had no strength at all, and his hoarse voice was as soft as a mosquito. Between the screams, the body has risen in the air. Tang Zhou quickly stretched out his hand to pull, only to touch a piece of cold iron claw, thinking someone in the well dropped the iron claw to pull him up.
He had to withdraw his hand. This place is remote, and not many people will come here. If the person above has no good intentions, as long as the well is sealed, he can only die at the bottom of the well. Tang Zhou determined his interests in an instant, and then he leaned against the well wall and stopped his breath.
Just listened to a grinning voice from the wellhead: "You are so old-fashioned, you are still alive until now, no one will come here, no one can save you!"
Tang Zhou could understand that this voice was familiar, and it was Master Shen's.
Things changed drastically, his mind was messed up, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
Only hearing the sound of a **** falling, someone struggling by the well made it silent. Master Shen said to himself: "Isn't it clean after you die? You old Taoist priest is still a monk, but it is so dirty. In this world, the dead are the cleanest." The sound of the **** fell again, digging once again. Have to work hard.
Tang Zhou was immersed in the water, only to feel cold on his body, and began to feel a little pain. He inserted the dagger in the gap in the well wall and touched it up. The tentacles were all slippery moss, and it was really difficult to climb to the top of the well. What's more, I don't know how long Master Shen will dig. If he moves rashly now, I'm afraid he will find out, and it is impossible to escape.
"These peach blossoms are freshly plucked. They are spread on you, and they are also scented with flowers." Master Shen's voice became very gentle, as if talking to his sweetheart.
Tang Zhou finally understood why he would bury flowers in the middle of the night.
Suddenly, the sound of digging ceased, only to hear Master Shen suddenly say: "Strange, how could this well collapse a big chunk?" His tone became fierce again, and the sound of footsteps got closer and closer to the side of the well. . Tang Zhou couldn't help but smile, his life will be ruined in this well after all. I am afraid I can only admit that I am unlucky in this kind of place where it is called daily refusal and the ground is not working. It seems that the reflection seen in the well before is really not his illusion.
Just listen to the sound of the other person's footsteps and stop when the sound of the other person's footsteps are already on the top of the head, and a burning fire falls with a whirr. Tang Zhou hurriedly dived into the water, the Huozhe soaked in the water, and then went out with a snort. Only at the top of the roof was someone cautiously poking his head down, looking at it for a long time, and muttering to himself: "So nobody..."
Tang Zhou waited until Master Shen walked away before showing his head out of the water, and exhaled a long breath, but before he even adjusted his breath, he heard a sound of moving rocks. He immediately understood that although Master Shen didn't see anyone, in order to proceed cautiously, he still had to completely seal the wellhead with a slate. Even if he has the ability to climb up, he can support the moss with slippery tentacles, and there is no way to push the stone slab away from the well. Although his Dao is extremely high, he can't do anything but wait for death right now.
Suddenly heard a clear voice from far away: "Bird, what are you going to say? It's so dark here, I would not come with you if I knew it!"
The sound of moving the slate stopped abruptly, but Master Shen's voice was a little panicked: "You... why are you here?"
Shen Xiangjun chuckled softly and said: "The bird asked me to come and take a look, my sister doesn't know yet. Daddy is good, Daddy is not afraid."
Tang Zhou was already numb from the cold, but when he heard these words, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if some thought flashed by. This seemed to be an opportunity. After seizing it, everything can be solved.
Master Shen did not speak for a long time.
Just listen to Shen Xiangjun whispering: "It's gloomy and terrifying here after nightfall, I don't want to stay."
Master Shen immediately followed up a sentence: "Come on, I'll take you back."
When Tang Zhou heard the sound of their footsteps getting away, he only touched the wall of the well, inserted his dagger into the gap, and moved up a little bit. His whole body was numb with cold, and his movements were not very dexterous. After a while, he felt his breath thickened. When he looked up, there was still a long distance from the well.
He took a breath, then climbed up again, suddenly losing weight, and fell back into the water. The fall was so heavy that the bones of his whole body almost fell apart. He rested for a while, then slowly climbed up again with a single breath, this time halfway through the climb, he heard footsteps again. Tang Zhou was in a dilemma. If he dived into the water again, he would have no strength to escape, but he would be easily spotted by staying here.
Suddenly a hemp rope hangs down and stretches into the water.
The person above has not spoken, just waiting quietly. After a while, Tang Zhou held the hemp rope, wrapped it around his wrist a few times, and slowly moved upward along the well wall. When he was still three or four feet away from the mouth of the well, he loosened the hemp rope and lifted his breath upward. The sudden light in front of him squinted his eyes.
The sun is coming, and the morning light is shining. The gloomy woman bent down and untied the hemp rope tied to the tree beside her, and randomly rolled a few rolls. Tang Zhou couldn't help but said: "It's you."
The woman glanced at him coldly, and a weird smile was pulled from the corner of her mouth: "Of course it is me, or who do you think it will be? My sister, my dad, or your clever and clever younger sister?" /
Tang Zhou smiled bitterly: "Thank you very much."
Shen Yijun casually threw a roll of hemp rope aside, and said coldly: "It seems that you have seen and heard a lot of things you shouldn't know about the night you were in the well." She dropped her ears. The hair swept back and whispered: "Your little junior sister is right. I have never wanted you to find out the secret about this village, but I don't want you to know it."
Tang Zhou was silent. The warm spring sunshine reflected on her body, and her numb body began to feel warm.
"My mother is from the Yi ethnic group. She fell in love with my dad, and even married him despite the opposition of her family. My mother... actually knows how to use witchcraft, but because my dad doesn’t like it, she does Keep hiding it. But..."
This paragraph is exactly the same as what Master Shen said before, and it is true to think about it.
"But, my dad found out soon, but he didn't blame my mother. Because of this, my mother was even more obedient to him." Shen Yijun took a deep breath, "One day nine years ago, My mother went to collect medicine in the mountains, but didn’t come back. Everyone went and searched many times but couldn’t find them, so everyone said that my mother met pythons in the mountains and was torn by them and swallowed. I don’t I believe that I went out one night to look for it. When I came back, it was only two more days later. I saw a man who looked like Dad’s back burying something, so I hid behind the bushes to see. Dad finished burying and left. I just wanted to go out. , I was afraid that he would come back to check out suddenly, so I squatted without daring to move. Sure enough, it didn’t take long before Daddy turned back and saw that no one left.” The haze in her eyes deepened, and she said coldly, “I’m squatting. It’s also numb, and finally got up and walked to the place where Dad was burying things. He dug out the soil with both hands. The nails were also dug out. The hands were full of blood. Finally, I saw what was buried inside." She smiled strangely at Tang Zhou For a moment: "Guess what I saw?"
Tang Zhou whispered: "...is Lingtang's corpse?"
Shen Yijun nodded: "It's my mother's corpse. Her whole body is shriveled, like being sucked out of all the blood. She was not eaten by a python at all, but killed by my father! This beast, after knowing that my mother knows the witchcraft art, begged her to teach him, and then killed her with this method. Then my father probably discovered that the place where he was buried had been dug up, so he began to doubt our sisters. My sister is stupid, she doesn’t know anything, and he can actually suspect it is only me. I don’t know how much I have suffered in order not to be seen by him. Later, our family moved to this town of Qingshi. There are people dying bizarrely. I can see what is going on when I look at the death, but there is no way to stop it."
When she said this, tears were already in her eyes: "Fortunately, my sister... she doesn't know anything, she doesn't know anything, all of this, as long as I understand it alone, it's enough." She used her sleeves hard. The corner of his eye rubbed: "The Taoist you know named Ling Xuzi was killed by my father. I am afraid he found something. Tang Gongzi, I think you should leave as soon as possible. Your junior sister is still young. Small and so smart, it would be a shame to die in this village of the living dead."
Tang Zhou finally thought of the thought that had passed by before: The behavior of this family was eccentric. They were obviously father and daughter, but they were wary of each other and slandered each other.
Shen Yijun mentioned Yan Dan twice, which also gave him a bad instinct. Yan Dan would not have had any accidents, but he was blocked from most of the demon art, and it was very likely that he would encounter things that he couldn't handle.
He turned and turned back to the vestibule, and bumped into a person around the corner. The man's body was soft, and he let out a soft voice, which was Yan Dan's accent.
Yan Dan turned his head, looked at his embarrassed appearance, smiled slightly: "Hey, brother, why did you go swimming early in the morning?"
Looking at her, Tang Zhou saw a gratifying smile on her face, a pale complexion, just like the finest white porcelain that had just been produced, and a gentle appearance, but her stomach was full of bad water, and said lightly: "I was swimming last night." /
Yan Dan heard the voice-over, and stepped forward and said softly: "It's still April. How can you give birth if you catch a cold? Brother, you hurry up and change your clothes."
When Tang Zhou returned to the guest room and was about to take off his robe, he found that Yan Dan was also coming in. Shi Shiran sat down at the table with one hand while holding the teacup with the other. Tang Zhou glanced at her: "Don't you avoid it?"
Yan Dan smiled and said, "I'll just sit here and talk, and I won't look at you." She paused, and then said: "You asked me yesterday if I sometimes have an illusion, but you are there. What did you see in the well?"
Compared with the most important thing, this matter is completely insignificant. Tang Zhou hummed casually and changed his soaked clothes.
Yan Dan smiled softly: "This matter is very important, don't you perfuse me."
Tang Zhou looked at her and slowly said: "Do you already know something?"
Yan Dan's eyes waved and settled on him quietly, with a slightly curved mouth: "Why don't we talk about terms? I will tell you everything I know, and then you will release the restrictions on my hands. "
Tang Zhou immediately said: "Don't even think about it." She knew it was not good, and he knew everything. This kind of exchange was meaningless.
Yan Dan stood up altogether: "Since I can't agree, I have to forget it." Seeing her walk to the door, Tang Zhou almost called her to stop, but finally held back. Sure enough, Yan Dan turned around and asked without giving up, "Are you really not agreeing?"
Tang Zhou was amused: "Rather than trusting you, I might as well think slowly."
Yan Dan sighed and had no choice but to return.
Tang Zhou put on his outer robe, his tied hands suddenly slipped, and the belt fell on the ground. He slowly lowered his body to pick it up, and suddenly thought of something: Judging from what Mr. Shen did, he didn't know why the well edge collapsed. So, was someone deliberately digging the edge of the well, or was it just a coincidence that the edge of the well collapsed just then?
If this is just a coincidence, then there are too many such coincidences. How did Shen Yijun know that he is at the bottom of the well? Why did Master Shen leave with Shen Xiangjun halfway?
If someone did this deliberately, what's the point of doing it?
Yan Dan sat on the edge of the lotus pond, put his hand in the water, a small fish came cautiously, bit her fingertips, swished his tail and swam away. She couldn't help laughing. After a while, she saw the little fish slowly approaching, bit her tentatively, and then fled, but this time she didn't hide as far as the last time.
Yan Dan touched her face, very distressed: "Don't I look so unbelievable? People are always smiling, so friendly..." She suddenly heard footsteps approaching behind her, only one The slim woman was already standing behind her. She smiled slightly: "Miss Shen."
The woman smiled playfully: "I will talk to the bird, and see if you sit here often, are you talking to the fish?"
Yan Dan nodded: "Yes, they tell me a lot."
Shen Xiangjun sat down beside her, tilting his head slightly: "What would the fish say?"
"They said that there are a lot of resentful spirits here. They can't leave until they are restrained. They also said that you must bring evil spirits into this village." Yan Dan raised his hand and shook it. "Fortunately, the brother gave it earlier. I have this bracelet. This bracelet also has the method of his envoy. Even if something bad happens to me, he can feel it."
Shen Xiangjun stretched out his hand and touched the bracelet on her wrist. The tentacles were smooth and moist: "This bracelet is very beautiful and feels very comfortable to the touch. He treats you so well..."
Yan Dan choked badly, and Tang Zhou's "benefits" for her were simply exhausted and intolerable. But she didn't think it was necessary to cry to each other, so she could only hum embarrassingly.
Shen Xiangjun looked at her, his eyes were sparkling, and there were a few ripples in his eyes. Yan Dan looked at her for a moment, looked sleepy, and slowly closed his eyes. Shen Xiangjun stretched out his hand to remove the bracelet from her wrist and threw it into the lotus pond. Hearing a sound, the bracelet immediately sank to the bottom of the pond.
She slowly lowered her face, her eyes were vaguely fierce, and coldly said: "Without this ward off evil bracelet, just a little cleverness, what use is there for you?" She stood up and took them to Hu's wife in Shen's house. Immediately walked over, wrapped the big robe around Yan Dan, then picked her up, smiled and said, "Miss, this little girl is so light, as if she has no bones."
Shen Yijun pulled the corner of her mouth, revealing a somewhat weird smile: "If the body is heavier, it will be better to suffer less." She walked to the backyard, Hu's wife and Yan Dan followed behind.
Shen Yijun walked to the waste well, stopped, and turned back to Sister Hu and said, "Throw it down." Sister Hu threw Yan Dan into the well, only to hear the sound of water that was wrapped around her. The robe immediately floated up. Shen Yijun glanced at the flat stone slab nearby, and reached out and grabbed one end: "Raise this stone slab and press it on the well."
Just hearing a click, the stone slab was firmly pressed against the edge of the well, and there was still a gap in the collapsed place, but the gap was too small to allow a child to crawl through.
Shen Yijun stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone slab, then brushed the dust on his hand, and his smile slowly bloomed like spring flowers.
