Tang Zhou was against the wall of the well, and with a few traces of moonlight cascading into the well, he finally recognized that this non-human figure was actually 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 the water for a long time, his skin began to turn white and wrinkle.
He settled his mind and asked, “Who knows the witchcraft technique?”
Ling Xuzi’s lips trembled, as if thinking of one of the most terrifying things in the world: “Seven Yaoshen Jade, Qi Yao…”
“Have you seen Seven Luminaries God Jade?”
Ling Xuzi shook 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 that 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.
I just heard a grinning voice from the mouth of the well: “You old-fashioned man, you have survived till now. No one will come here, no one can save you!”
Tang Zhou could understand, this voice was familiar, it was Master Shen’s.
Things changed drastically, and there was a mess in his mind, but he didn’t know what he was thinking.
There was only a sound of a **** falling, and someone struggling by the well made it silent. Master Shen said to himself: “Isn’t it clean when I 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 feeling cold on his body, and began to feel a slight 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 still freshly picked and 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, and Master Shen suddenly said: “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 edge 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 listening to the sound of the other party’s footsteps stopped when they were on the top of the head, a burning fire screamed down. Tang Zhou hurriedly dived into the water, the Huozhe soaked in the water and then went out with a sneer. 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 there is no one…”
Tang Zhou waited until Master Shen walked away before showing his head out of the water, and let out 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 seal the well 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 a clear voice came from afar: “Birds, 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, and 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 thoughts flashed by. This seemed to be an opportunity. After grasping it, everything could be solved.
Master Shen did not speak for a long time.
Just heard Shen Xiangjun whispered: “It’s gloomy and terrible here after nightfall, I don’t want to stay.”
Master Shen immediately took a sentence: “Come, I will take you back.”
Tang Zhou heard their footsteps getting farther away, and only then did he touch the wall of the well, insert his dagger into the gap, and move it up a little bit. His whole body was numb with cold, and his movements were not very flexible. 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, and halfway through the climb this time, he heard the sound of footsteps again. Tang Zhou is in a dilemma. If he dives into the water again, he is afraid that he will no longer have the strength to escape, but he will be easily spotted by staying here.
Suddenly a hemp rope hung down and stretched into the water.
The person above has not spoken, just waiting quietly. After a while, Tang Zhou grabbed 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, lifted his breath upwards, and the sudden light in front of him squinted his eyes.
The sun is coming, and the morning is shining. The gloomy woman bent down and untied the hemp rope tied to the tree beside her, and rolled a few rolls casually. Tang Zhou couldn’t help but said, “It’s you.”
The woman glanced at him coldly, with a weird smile on her lips: “Of course it’s me, or who do you think it will be? My sister, my dad, or your clever and clever younger sister?”
Tang Zhou smiled wryly: “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 that you shouldn’t know about this night in the well.” She sent her hair hanging in her ear He swept back, and whispered: “Your little junior girl 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 regardless of the opposition of the people. My mother… actually knows how to use witchcraft, but because my dad doesn’t like it, she keeps it .but……”
This passage 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 I picked herbs in the mountains, but I didn’t come back again. Everyone went and searched many times, but they didn’t find them. Everyone said that my mother met the pythons in the mountains and was torn apart by them. I don’t believe it. There is one I went out late to look for it. When I came back, it was only two 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, but I was afraid He suddenly came back to check, so he squatted without daring to move. It didn’t take long before Daddy turned back and saw no one and left.” The haze in her eyes deepened, and she said coldly, “I squatted my legs and feet numb. , Finally stood up and walked to the place where Dad was burying things, dug out the soil with both hands, nails were also dug out, hands were covered with blood, and finally saw what was buried inside.” She gave Tang Zhou a weird smile: “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, as if she was 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 knew the witchcraft art, I begged her to teach him, and then killed her with this method. Later, my father probably discovered that the place where he was buried had been dug up, so he began to suspect our sisters. My sister is Stupid, muddled and confused, he didn’t know anything, and he was actually the only one who could suspect me. I didn’t know how much I had suffered in order not to be seen by him. Later, our family moved to this town of Qingshi, where people kept on weird. When I died, I knew what was going on when I saw the death, but there was 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 sleeve to force her at the corner of her eye. Rub: “The Taoist priest named Ling Xuzi you knew was killed by my father. He probably found something too. Tang Gongzi, I think you should leave as soon as possible. Your junior sister is still young, and So smart, it would be a pity to die in this village of the living dead.”
Tang Zhou finally thought of the thought that had passed before: The behavior of this family was eccentric everywhere. 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 on the corner. The man’s body was soft, and he let out a soft ah, which was Yan Dan’s accent.
Yan Dan turned his head, looked at his embarrassed appearance, and smiled slightly: “Hey, brother, why did you go swimming early in the morning?”
Tang Zhou looked at her and saw that she had a gratifying smile, a white complexion, just like the finest white porcelain that was just produced, and a gentle appearance, but her stomach was full of bad water. He 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 have 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, holding a cup with one hand and fiddling with the tea cup 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, sometimes if you have an illusion, but you are in that well. What did you see?”
Compared with the main thing, this matter is of no importance at all. Tang Zhou hummed casually and changed his soaked clothes.
Yan Dan smiled softly: “This matter is very important, don’t you perfunct me.”
Tang Zhou looked at her and slowly said, “Do you already know something?”
Yan Dan rolled his eyes 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 unblock 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 we can’t agree, we have to forget it.” Tang Zhou saw her walking to the door and almost called to stop her, 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, but returned without success.
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 was at the bottom of the well? Why did Master Shen leave with Shen Xiangjun halfway?
If someone did this deliberately, what is the purpose of doing so?
Yan Dan sat on the edge of the lotus pond and put his hand in the water. A small fish cautiously approached her, bit her fingertips, swished her tail and swam away. She couldn’t help but chuckle. 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 and so friendly…” She suddenly heard footsteps approaching behind her, and she saw a slim figure. The woman is 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 many things.”
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, and 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 me this. Bracelet. This bracelet also has his envoy’s Taoism. Even if something bad happened to me, he can feel it.”
Shen Xiangjun reached out 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 felt that there was no need to cry to the other party, so she could only hum in embarrassment.
Shen Xiangjun looked at her with crystal clear eyes and 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 said coldly, “Without this evil-shielding bracelet, just a little cleverness, what use is there for you?” She stood up and took them to the Shen’s house. , Wrapped the large 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 would be better to suffer less.” She walked straight to the backyard, Hu’s sister-in-law holding Yan Dan and 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 hearing the sound of water, the outer robe wrapped around her immediately floated. Up here. Shen Yijun caught a glimpse of the flat stone slab nearby, and reached out and grabbed one end: “Lift this stone slab and press it on the well.”
With only a click, the stone slab was firmly pressed against the edge of the well, and there were still some gaps in the place where it collapsed, but the gap was too small to allow a child to crawl through it.
Shen Yijun stretched out his hand and pressed a touch on the stone slab, then dusted off the dust on his hand, and his smile slowly bloomed like spring flowers.
