1134. Tusi King’s Tomb (78) Dead Body in the Well
"Hua La La——"
"Boom!!"
"Shu Shu Shu——"
The heavy rain was like a waterfall, and the strong wind and thunder raged across the world. The whole world was filled with the noisy and harsh sound of thunder and rain. It was difficult to hear other sounds. Even the conversations between travelers had to be heard with a loud voice. Normally, some small sounds were easily ignored.
However, everyone present could clearly hear the sound of the sharp blade scratching outside the door of the main hall! Everyone held their breath and listened attentively. At this moment, the heavy thunderstorm seemed to have become the background sound, which made the friction sound even more tense and numb. There was someone outside the door in the wilderness during a heavy thunderstorm, and he walked through the patio quietly and came to the door of their main hall. This was already scary enough. Not to mention the extremely suspicious scratching and friction sounds that kept coming from outside the wooden door, which made people think of the dense and terrible cracks on the wooden door of the main hall that were split by an axe.
No one dared to speak. At this moment, all the passengers were motionless like wooden men, holding their breath, and nine pairs of eyes stared at the already dilapidated gate. Unconsciously, Miao Fangfei and others completely integrated into the environment in this tense and high-pressure danger, and completely lost the aura of pure outsiders, just like the flowers, plants and trees that grow naturally in this mountain, making the "indigenous people" unable to detect the problem. If a person with keen perception passes by the door, he or she will not even feel the presence of someone inside for a while.
This is just like the instinctive defense mechanism of biological organisms, like when a mother deer goes out to forage, the fawn will lie motionless in the grass, making it impossible for the hunter to find it - the hunter did not seem to find it. After a quarter of an hour, the sound of the axe rubbing against the door panel finally began to gradually weaken. After half an hour, this weird friction sound outside the door finally disappeared, and only the sound of fierce thunder and rain was left outside.
The crisis seemed to have been resolved, but none of the passengers relaxed, and they even stood still, ready to take action at any time. Wei Xun guarded the front, Mao Xiaole and others guarded the middle, and Lu Shucheng guarded the rear, so that they could respond to any problems as quickly as possible. After waiting for five minutes, there was no movement outside. Wang Pengpai wanted to say something, but when he saw Wei Xun pressing his hand with his back to him, Wang Pengpai immediately shut up. Several people waited for another quarter of an hour in an anxious and nervous mood, but there was still no movement outside. This time even Miao Fangfei gave them a worried look.
They couldn't just stay here and waste time. They had to check the wooden door of the main hall as soon as possible to see how long it could last. There were many things to do. No one knew when the second vibration would come. Was it Thunder God outside? Would He just pick up an axe and chop when He appeared again?
However, the horrific scene that happened in the next second made all the passengers' scalps numb and sweat like pulp, and they threw everything they wanted to say behind their heads!
Crackling——
Lightning tore through the sky, reflecting a white light between heaven and earth, but at this moment, under the reflection of the lightning, the passengers saw a very tall black shadow standing silently outside the wooden door of the main hall! The lightning flashed by, and everything returned to darkness, but no one could forget such a terrifying scene. The black shadow was definitely not like a human. Just from the shadow reflected in it, it was at least three meters tall, with extremely broad shoulders, as if it was padded with armor, or there was a pair of wings hidden somewhere that ordinary people could not imagine. It was facing the door and holding up a weapon that looked like a giant axe——
When the lightning passed, everything returned to darkness, but the hearts of the passengers could not return to peace, and even felt that this time the darkness was more terrifying and depressing. No one could see clearly what the black shadow outside the door was going to do in the end, and there was no sound from the wooden door. It did not chop down the axe, but it was like a guillotine hanging over a person's neck. You had no idea when the knife would fall, and you didn't even know if the guillotine was there.
The passengers were currently in this state of stalemate and suffering. Fortunately, within a minute or two, Bai Feibai suddenly spoke up: "They have left. There is no problem."
"Huh!"
The high and low breathing sounds of the crowd came, and Miao Fangfei realized that she had been holding her breath since just now. I don't know how many world records she has broken by holding her breath for such a long time. Anyway, everyone looked very unhappy in the dim candlelight, and everyone was as if they were facing a great enemy. The tall figure standing silently outside the door has become a nightmare for countless people, not only for the passengers, but also for the audience.
Many people on the Internet like to brag. After all, it is not illegal. No one knows if they just brag a little. However, even if they mistakenly thought that they were filming a variety show, the new audience who strayed in did not make any stupid remarks such as "You are so bad" or "I can do it too". Everyone was frightened by the tall black shadow standing quietly at the door. They couldn't come back to their senses for a while. Memories seemed to surge uncontrollably, showing all the bad memories that they thought were long gone. Some people burst into tears, and some lost control of their emotions. This small-scale mental disorder was not brought back to the audience immersed in emotions until the crisp and cold sound of iron rings colliding sounded.
"Swish, swish."
A rustling sound sounded, and Wei Xun held a strange-shaped magic weapon and shook it gently. It was a copper ring with more than a dozen small iron rings on it. The ring was cast with an iron handle on one side. When holding the iron handle and shaking it gently, the small iron rings on the big ring collided with each other and made a rustling sound, which sounded simple and magical, and very rhythmic.
Regular rhythm can correct chaos, and the mental state of travelers improves with the rustling, both inside and outside the venue. But Wei Xun didn't think so much, and the audience outside the venue had no idea what they were going to do - after a brief discussion, Wang Pengpai and the others actually took the initiative to open the door of the hall to look for clues. At that moment, many audience members couldn't help but scream. , are they really not afraid of a thunderous man standing outside with a big axe? ?
This is too courageous!
Fortunately, there was no black figure standing outside the door, only the pouring rain, and the sky was as dark as ink, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night.
"There are a lot of scratches on the door."
Travelers who braved the wind and rain stood in front of the wooden door of the hall. Bai Feibai stretched out his hand and pointed at a few fresh scratches on the wooden door. The scratches are intermittent and there are many dents, mostly on a line.
Good news, Thunder God's ax doesn't seem to be very sharp.
Bad news, if Lei Gong really uses this ax, their death will be even more painful when they confront Lei Gong. Nothing like cutting flesh with a blunt knife.
"The shadow is not necessarily the arrival of Thunder Lord."
Wei Xun, who had been shaking the swordsman rustlingly, said: "Although there are cracks on the door, they have not penetrated. The door is still intact, and normally it is impossible to reflect the shadow of Thunder God."
It's not like you're standing in front of a big screen. How could such a big shadow shine in? You said it's more reliable if someone stands by the window. The windows of the B&B here are made of paper and have some special treatments to withstand wind and rain. Generally speaking, they are still translucent. You can still see them when standing outside. . The door is a pure wooden door, how can it reflect a shadow?
"It's pollution."
Wei Xun squatted down to check the traces and finally confirmed it thoroughly, but it didn't make the passengers feel much better. The huge black shadow that was reflected just now may be their fear, pollution, and memories of what happened on this land, mixed together until this thing came out. Heavy rain weakened the wolf's sense of smell, and lightning and thunder disrupted the world, making it impossible for Mao Xiaole to communicate with the heavens using talismans and seals, making it impossible for them to tell what was outside.
I am afraid that only Bai Feibai can 'see' some clues. Pollution has always aroused people's spirit and mood. Now that Director Ling and Captain An are not here, the impact is even more obvious.
Fortunately, the passengers are all people who have seen the big world. After being in danger, they all became calm and energetic. The better the mental state, the less likely it is for pollution to succeed. Miao Fangfei and others returned to the main room to prepare and check whether the iron cabinets could be opened normally. Wei Xun and Bai Feibai both agreed that although the Thunder Lord had not really arrived just now, it would only happen sooner or later, and there was not much time left for them.
But Bai Feibai did not return to the main room, but stood at the door despite the rain, staring at the scratch across the door.
If it is just pollution, can pollution be made as sharp as an ax to cut through a wooden door?
This might be feasible, but Bai Feibai always felt that something was wrong. He brushed the thin scratch with his gloved fingers and stopped to see some tiny bits of skin and meat stuck to his fingers. Bai Feibai frowned and called Miao Fangfei and Lu Shucheng. Time was so precious, but the three of them walked around the patio in the rain, following the remaining traces of pollution. It didn't take long for the golden silkworm Gu to be discovered. The three of them stood in front of the well that was sealed by an iron rope in the middle of the patio.
"There's something in there."
Bai Feibai's voice was blown away by the strong wind and sounded a little shaky. The big raindrops hit her face and body hard, making Miao Fangfei unable to open her eyes. She could only listen intermittently as he said things like "worms" and "downholes". words, but the meaning is not difficult to understand. Miao Fangfei put down a nest of her Gu spiders and let them explore down the well.
Soon the Gu insects sent a message, and Miao Fangfei's face became ugly. The rain was too noisy here and it was not the place to talk. Bai Feibai and the other three returned to the eaves of the main room. This level of wind and rain was no longer something that a simple raincoat could withstand. The three of them were soaked to the skin, their hands and feet were cold and their lips were white. Miao Fangfei's condition seemed to be more serious - her hands were trembling slightly. .
"That well-"
Her voice was a little dry, and she paused before continuing: "The well is about fifteen centimeters down, and there are human skins hanging on the inner wall of the well with iron hooks, eight in total."
"At the bottom of the well are skinned corpses piled together. There are eight skinned corpses in total - their flesh and blood are still red and fresh, as if they had just been skinned."
Eight skins and eight corpses, this number was too coincidental and caused the passengers present to fall into silence.
"This, what a coincidence."
Wang Pengpai was speechless, unable to joke, and finally speechless.
Darling, it can’t be that the eight Tujia brothers are dead! Their corpses and skins are still used to suppress the wells. After so many years, they still face the Thunder God every time through formations, solving the myth that repeats itself again and again?
