Reading The Remnants (Wen Guan) - Chapter 23

After wading across the river, he touched the stairs in front of him in a short while, Tu Laoyao put the lamp on his head, put his hands on the bank first, and then pulled the girls up one by one. Ayin leaned to the side and twisted his robe and feet, only when the water was warm, she was on the shore at this moment, shivering and beating one after another. After a long time, she hadn’t been to the tomb, and her bones were a bit hypocritical.

Tu Yaoyao squatted on the opposite side, took off his shoes and poured water. Li Shiyi wrung out his trousers and said to Song Shiji: “Pull up the trouser legs.”

Song Nineteen followed his instructions, the white calf was as bright as the moon crooked in the hole, and the youngest sighed again and again with the delicate skin and tender flesh.

After finishing the collection, a group of people walked inside again. Fortunately, there were no other creatures in the cave. Only some webs of dustpans hung on both sides. The same rows of upside down bats. When people pass by, the bats flap their wings and fly. , Shaking off the dust of Shuosuo.

The more you go in, the quieter the cave becomes. Rocks and water fall accidentally on the prominent stone pillars, like a snake coveting when it is vomiting a letter.

It took another two or three minutes to show the appearance of the tomb. There is an open front hall in the middle of the cave. The eaves of the tiled wall are built under the cave, and the four huge pillars that have fallen off the red paint are connected. If you ignore the corrosion on the pillars The traces look like the magnificent banquet room of the tomb owner during his lifetime. There was only one altar table in the front hall. I thought there should be a ritual vessel for burial, but it was found very clean. Only a few earthy fragments were left. If you can distinguish it, you can probably infer the dynasty of this tomb.

There are two side ear chambers on both sides of the front hall. The youngest Tuyao strolled around, but there was still nothing left. He was puzzled and angry, and cursed: “Grandma’s, where’s the gold? Even a fly No legs!”

Li Shiyi moved his nose, walked through the front hall, and saw a small aisle covered by a stone gate. Li Shiyi was about to push the door, and then he retracted his hand and squatted down to take a look. The lower half of the stone gate is full of depth Various scratches, embedded with cinnabar blood stains, Li Shiyi stretched out his fingertips and compared them, as if they were scratches.

Such a miserable scratch, I want to go through a terrifying and desperate fright.

She squeezed a talisman in her hand and motioned to the youngest Tu Yao to greet the tools that can be used in her bag, and winked at Ah Yin. A Yin squeezed the talisman with one hand and held Song XIX with the other hand, protecting her behind her back and holding her back. Breathing and watching Li Shiyi’s palm, he slowly pushed Shimen away.

Inside Shimen is the solemn coffin room. The four walls are surrounded by ancient murals. They are mainly red and white. They are nothing but ritual and music paintings. They have no achievements in life. If you want to come to the tomb, you should be a wealthy one. The squire of the country has no big status, let alone the rumors of the ninety-five.

Tu Laoyao supplemented some knowledge and knew a lot. When he saw the mural, he was a little disappointed. He cried out in his heart. There was no gold and silver box on the ground, and even the coffin was gone, except for the huge one in the center. The white marble coffin bed, which is two people long and one wide, stands in the center with a cool tone.

The talisman paper in Li Shiyi’s hand was looping back and forth between her fingers, still playing poker, but Ayin knew that she was tense in her heart. Li Shixi always had an unfathomable pool of clear water, but when she was nervous Will press the corners of the mouth, and the left fingertips will lightly buckle irregularly on the side of the leg.

Seeing that the white jade bed was a bit interesting, Tu’s youngest boy couldn’t move it. He walked forward and looked like he had been chipped with a few gaps. He didn’t know the reason, but it was scattered and scattered underneath, like an arch. The stars of the month. The youngest Tu was about to bend down to pick up a few, but suddenly stopped, his pupils shrank as if they had been pricked by a needle, his face twisted as if he had seen a ghost, and he sat on the ground after a long while, pushing his legs back with his backhand and moving back with his mouth in his mouth. The speech was broken, and he was only choked with a few “ah, ah” sounds.

Although the youngest Tu Yao was not courageous, he had never been so frightened, Li Shiyi squatted down beside him, staring at the white jade bed, and asked him: “What?”

“Rabbit…Tutututu.” The youngest Tuyao stuttered so hard that a cold sweat rolled down from his forehead.

“What’s so scary about rabbits?” Ah Yin was puzzled.

The youngest boy Tu crawled out, crawling and pulling Li Shiyi’s trousers: “Eat, eat… eat people!”

As soon as the voice fell, Gu Lulu rolled out a skull in the corner of the white jade bed, stained with dried blood. Song 19 raised his hand to cover his lips, and saw a bunch of soft fluff fall to the ground. A giant lion.

The behemoth looked like a rabbit, but its head was bigger than a human head, and its hair was as beautiful as a silver thread. A flick of it was a room of brilliance, and its eyes were as red as jewels, and the long ears were not seen behind it. , Handsome back and buttocks, with peony-like patterns on both sides of the thighs and back, and the walking posture is extremely elegant, like a beast with powerful aura.

It happened that the hair on the side of the Ruimon’s mouth was stained with blood, and he chewed with his teeth, frowning by accident, as if his teeth were smashed by a hard pea.

It tilted its head slightly at this moment, so that it could look at the people for a while, as if it had caught a turtle in the urn.

Song 19 had a weak leg and leaned against the wall. A Yin also broke out in a cold sweat, pushing his breath back two steps, Li Shiyi’s heart alarm bells loudly, moved lightly, and moved to Song Shi calmly. Jiutong Ayin’s side.

“What is it?” Ayin asked her softly in an agitated voice.

Li Shiyi tried his best to calm his breath: “Irish beast.”

There is a record in the “Shen Yi Jing”: “The false beast appeared in the southwestern wilderness, and its appearance is like a dodder.” The false is also a false statement. As the name suggests, the beast is good at telling lies, and it is said that if he eats the meat of the beast, he can no longer tell the truth. Mischief beasts are often in the southwest. Li Shiyi has never encountered them before and does not want to meet them here. He instantly understands why the red scale fish outside are reunited here. It is precisely because this beast has the ability to attract people and gather beasts. .

“Can you eat people?” Song Jiu asked quietly, trembling.

Li Shiyi guarded them and backed away unhurriedly: “Eat.”

“The false beast feeds on lies, and it loves to eat the liar. If a few people are in the same group, choose the one who is the best at lying to eat first.” Li Shixi’s tail trembled infrequently, and the pupils staring at the false beast dimmed again. point.

The Corruption Beast swallowed the fingers in its mouth, and walked towards them with one step at a time. Tu’s youngest screamed and ran out, but saw the Corruption Beast’s buttocks forcefully, lightly leaped to him, his front paws. Knocking on the ground, his sharp eyes grabbed him, and he whispered in a low voice.

The roar resembles the sharp sound of a dolphin, with a little hoarseness. It quickly knocks on people’s eardrums, making people blindfolded and dizzy. The current of the river oscillated as if it had been beaten, and the pond filled with red-scaled fish beating back and forth, and the carps leaped over the dragon gate to get out of the water.

A Yin groaned and knelt on the ground, his hands clasped in the mud. The youngest Tu Yao rolled his head, his eyelids twitched as if he was splashed with boiling water. Song nineteen squatted in the corner, losing his strength, covering his hands. With tears in his ears and eyes, Li Shiyi was also shocked by the attack. He sat halfway by the wall, his knuckles turning blue with his hands on his knees.

Youngest Tu yelled at Li Shiyi’s trousers: “Where is the charm! What about the spells?! Ten…Eleven sister, I, I am uncomfortable!”

The big man burst into tears and was even more distorted than smoking a big cigarette. Li Shiyi held his hand instead, his throat was sweet and speechless.

Seeing that they lost their energy, the stubby beast stopped, the fish was steady in the water, quiet as if nothing happened, except for the whining echo of the hungry ghost crying in the auricle, and the vestibule that was beaten a few sap. To remind them that everything is not an illusion.

After taking a few breaths, Li Shiyi found some tone, let go of Tu’s youngest hand, and shook his head desperately: “Talisman only accepts ghosts, and it is useless against ancient beasts.”

Tu Yaoyao’s eyes stopped chaotically, and his lips looked like dull flesh pulled off by a saw, numb and numb.

Only a few people in the tomb made anxious and feeble gasps, and the sound of nails hitting the bottom when the same beast clasped its paws.

It flashed innocent but cunning eyes, patrolling its prey back and forth. These girls are all very beautiful, beautiful girls always deceive, and this man with a poppy appearance in the market, I don’t know which lies. , Will first become something in its belly.

The youngest Tuo turned over and vomited violently. Huang Baitang went out together, but the beast did not stop walking towards him. Its trembling fur, and the shadow of the whole body enveloped the youngest Tu’s. He showed a bit of helplessness and frailty. The youngest Tu’s eyes were closed and his heart was closed. He was eating quack, and he had told more lies than he had eaten. Just two days ago, he still pointed. Li Shiyi said she was Song Jiu’s mother.

He was vomiting bile, and his legs trembled like an electric shock. He only hated that he had no strength at the moment and couldn’t draw a big mouth from him.

Tell you nonsense, I should tear this useless mouth apart.

He was about to die when he was about to introduce the item. He was so flustered that he couldn’t remember his last words. When he opened his head in a hurry, he hesitated to walk towards the side of Ah Yin when he saw the beast’s footsteps.

Ayin looked up hurriedly, tears imprinted on his eyes, and his lips were bitten. It was rosy and gorgeous. At this moment, it was still a delicate flower that was once a spring breeze.

The oblivion approached her like a kiss, and its turbulent nose seemed to probe her heart. After a long while, it carried the unpleasant stench of a carrion corpse, and opened its mouth towards her.

Ah Yin swallowed his throat and closed his eyes.

My name is Ayin.

I have an ideal, the whole world is full of peaches and plums.

I was born beautiful since I was young. My parents passed away at the age of six. My uncle wanted to sell me to the kiln. Master passed by and bought me for most of his wealth. He named me Ayin.

I don’t know where there is a soulmate, and I often hate it for this. I am this Ah Yin.

When I was twelve years old, fighting in the south and the Mogu Nan faction fell. Master and I went north, and met Master Li Shiyi in the tomb of General Qian in Jinan. The winter was extremely cold that year. Master didn’t go there and entrusted me to Master Li Shixi before his death. Since then, I have collected water and firewood together with her, practiced spells and hacked holes. She called me Ah Yin. I called her Li eleven, and later, I called her eleven.

At the age of sixteen, I buried her master at the foot of Jiuru Mountain with her, and she brought me to Peking with my burden. The situation is not good, the bones are buried in mass, the tomb is not good, and the tomb raiders of the army master have to grab food. I have no meal with her, and we are too poor and hopeless.

Since then, Li Shiyi has practiced the exercises day and night, flipping through the books and studying books, laying down all the tombs and picking up all the work.

At the age of eighteen, I settled down with her and settled in a simple courtyard, and gradually gained a reputation on the road. On the last day at the end of the age of eighteen, she took a job in Wuling Mountain, Hebei, but her body was not agile and she was trembling with pain. I let her rest and entered the thief hole for her.

I ran into the spirit of a snake in the robbery hole.

The snake is an ancient beast, rumored to be the descendants of the immortal under the seat of Nuwa. Even the spirit, I am invincible, I moved the old man’s offering table, it became angry, and whipped my eyebrows with a snake’s tail, and attached a soul to me.

There is a sentence in the book that the master left to me: A snake, a soft mouth, lazy and lewd.

I asked for medicine in every possible way, but I still couldn’t solve it. I had a rift with Li Shiyi. I didn’t want to live with her again, so I moved into the alley.

I don’t pick up too many customers. Atao laughs. I always pick beautiful ones. I don’t know if they prostituted me or I prostituted them. I feel that they are not very beautiful, and it took me a long time to realize that they all look a bit like Li Xi.

I am driven by the desire in this body, happy, not happy. When I didn’t see Li Shiyi, I was happy, but when I saw her, I was not happy.

Li Shixi came to see me several times and had a long conversation with me all night. I smiled and said to her that my ideal is to fill the world with peaches and plums.

My name is Ayin. I’m full of nonsense and lie, and the big lies I have told in this life are called ideals.

I will lie to her for a lifetime.

The author has something to say:

1. “Yulouchun·Red Ribbon Restrains Qiong Muscle Stability”: I don’t know where there is a friend, and I often hate it for this. 2. The layout of the tomb refers to the tomb of Liu Sheng in Mancheng.
