Chapter 24 - ⑥
Although Mr. Yu was duplicitous, Xiangnu was in a good mood. He explained it to Yu Su and finally turned off the screen.
Shu Jian was walking towards him, Xiang Nu put down the rolled up trouser legs, patted the ashes on his body, and then stood up.
Shu Jian walked over with the stem of the yarrow and asked, “Little Junior Brother, I’m back, so I’ll start digging?”
Xiang Nu looked at the hill on the ground and nodded in agreement.
Shu Jian looked around the hill, put the stem into the small hole that had been dug, bent down and began to disintegrate from the inside.
Xiang Nu stared at his movements for a while, not knowing whether Shu Jian’s actions were helpful or not. He looked at the dense hills in front of him, walked back and forth in the hills and plains for a few times, and suddenly he was in the middle of two larger neutral spaces. Xiaoqiu squatted down in front of him.
Xiangnu’s palm touched back and forth on the flat ground in the middle, and found that the color of this place was different from that of the other hills. mound size.
There should have been a small hill in this flat place before, but I don’t know if it was done by the quest person who participated in this dungeon before, or the old man moved his hand. This hill may also be drawn out of the earth soul, and then dug out the bottom of the dungeon. After the bones were completely flattened.
Xiang Nu looked at Shu Jian, Shu Jian picked a lot of yarrow stalks and came back, Xiang Nu walked over and picked one up, then went to the flattened mound again, plucked the surrounding soil, Arched a small mound up.
After Xiangnu discovered the mound that was suspected to be flattened in front of his eyes, he began to observe the surrounding ground. Multiple hummocks that existed before and were later flattened.
Xiangnu used yarrow stems to make a mark on it, counted the small mounds from the beginning to the end, and found that there were 206 small mounds in total.
Although Xiangnu had eye problems before, his education level was not low. After realizing that there were a total of 206 hills, he immediately realized something.
While Shu Jian was fighting the hard mound, he climbed to the top of the mountain to the north and looked down at the mound below.
If yes, this hill at the foot of Beishan Mountain is actually a ‘person’.
The one on the farthest side that is about to sink into the river is the head of the human body. The 29 hillocks represent the fifteen facial skulls, eight brain skulls, and three auditory ossicles in each of the middle ears on both sides.
Below is the torso bone consisting of the sternum, vertebrae and ribs, a total of fifty-one.
There are also upper and lower limb bones on both sides of the torso, a total of 126 pieces.
After substituting specific data, Xiangnu was finally able to identify Qiu Yuan’s image.
Thinking of the phalanges he and Shu Jian dug up before, a lightning flashed across Xiangnu’s mind, and he suddenly understood something.
Xiang Nu carefully slipped off his body, Shu Jian was sweating profusely from the tormented hill, and finally knocked it open a little. Xiang Nu waited beside him for his results, and before he knew it, time passed Just half an hour passed.
Shu Jian finally dug up the hill, Xiangnu carefully removed the broken stones on it, and groped at the bottom of the hill, but there was nothing.
Shu Jian looked at him nervously and asked, “Little Junior Brother, is there anything in it?”
Xiangnu shook his head and said lightly: “No. No accident, the bones inside have been dug up by master.”
A look of sadness suddenly appeared on Shu Jian’s face, Xiangnu waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, I have already made a new discovery.”
Xiang Nu walked around and found that in the hills, only the head had not been planed, probably because the head was too small from the foot of the mountain and too close to the sea.
Thinking of this, Xiangnu couldn’t help but look at Shu Jian with a thoughtful look.
Shu Jian is very conscious of being a tool person. After seeing Xiangnu’s expression for a while, he said very consciously: “Little Junior Brother, if you have anything to do, you don’t have to be polite.”
Xiang Nu pointed to the end of Qiu Yuan, covered his lips and coughed lightly: “Third Senior Brother, I want to draw an area that is close to the sea, and then you take away all the souls inside and dig out the bones below. .”
Hearing this, Shu Jian swallowed his saliva and said a little scared, “Junior Brother, are you sure you want to do this?”
Xiangnu nodded, and the mood in Shu Jian’s eyes was constantly changing between hesitation and panic, and after a long time he nodded his head and said, “You won’t hurt me, little junior brother, I won’t ask the reason, you give me the position. Come on, I’ll dig!”
Xiang Nu lowered his eyebrows and sighed softly: “By the way, the third senior brother, I have to go to the second senior brother for some business in a while, and they may not be able to accompany you here. Be careful when you dig earth souls, and don’t get hurt. “
Shu Jian really panicked, and Xiangnu patted him on the shoulder: “Don’t be afraid, there shouldn’t be any danger. I just remind you just in case. Although you have to work busy, you can’t take it lightly.”
Xiangnu said with relief: “Don’t be afraid of the third senior brother, if you are really injured, it doesn’t matter. I have a lot of life points. As long as you save one life. After the copy is out, you can find me, and I will do it for you. Heal the injury.”
Shu Jian smiled bitterly, didn’t say anything, just nodded silently, and then said to Xiangnu: “Little Junior Brother, please give me the area, it’s getting late, we’ll finish the work early, and we’d better find the clues and leave the dungeon early. .”
Xiangnu showed Shu Jian the way, took him to the end of the hill, drew an area along the line for Shu Jian, and then told him: “All the bones in this area must be dug out, after dug out , if there is still enough time, you can dig the left side too.”
Xiangnu demarcated another area. This area belongs to the left upper limb of the human body divided by Xiangnu, and is the least damaged area except for the skull.
Shu Jian gestured for the position himself, and after finding a safe spot, he started to work.
Fortunately, there are earth souls in these small mounds. The soil is very soft. Shu Jian can easily dig it.
Xiangnu stood beside Shu Jian and watched for a while, and after Shu Jian dug out two bones, he told Shu Jian, “Second brother, after the bones are dug out, try to put them together in order. If you mess up, you won’t be able to put them together. But it’s troublesome.”
Shu Jian nodded and asked, “Little Junior Brother, do you have any other orders?”
Xiangnu shook his head: “I’m going to leave, go to Sixth Senior Brother and ask them about the situation, and try to come back as soon as possible. If you don’t come back, don’t be afraid. If you are in danger, just run away.”
Shu Jian nervously swallowed his saliva, then nodded heavily, saying that he remembered it all.
Then Xiang slave left, and when he climbed up the mountain, he passed through the grass covered with thorn balls. Xiang slave suddenly remembered, lifted his trousers and glanced at it and found that his skin was neither red nor swollen this time, the black The pattern is unusually attached to his snow-white skin, like an ordinary decoration, which hides merit and fame.
Xiangnu walked to the top of Beishan Mountain and looked down for Miao Dong and the others. When he saw them, Xiangnu found that except Jiang Chao, the other three were standing together in front of a door with a red flag hanging. I don’t know what to discuss.
Xiangnu observed the route and didn’t want to go from the old man’s place. He was going to go around to find Miao Dong and the others. He happened to think of the old man, so he glanced at the old man’s house, and then saw the old man walking next to the wall. The sneaky figure.
Xiang Nu was slightly startled, and the expression on his face almost didn’t hold back.
If it weren’t for his excellent eyesight after being treated with HP, he would hardly have seen the man in the gray gown who quickly drank the wall and merged into one.
Xiang Nu carefully glanced at the old man’s house, and when he saw that there was no movement, he let his heart down a little, then walked down the mountain silently, towards the figure who ran out of the old man’s back room, and after approaching him, he gently moved from behind. He tapped the man on the shoulder.
That person, that is, Jiang Chao, didn’t notice the footsteps behind him at all. When someone patted his shoulder suddenly, Jiang Chao was so frightened that his heart stopped, he turned his head almost blankly, and when he saw Xiangnu’s The stunning face with curved brows did not respond, and was stunned for a while without returning to his senses.
Xiangnu had never seen it before. He was accustomed to listening to voice recognition and all kinds of sudden pranks and dangers. He had a big heart. He didn’t realize that his actions almost killed Jiang Chao. Seeing Jiang Chao’s expression was blank. With the appearance of being devastated, he almost thought that Jiang Chao was cursed by the old man, and his face suddenly became vigilant, and he took a step back cautiously.
Jiang Chao slowly closed his eyes, and it took a while for him to recover. He said in a hoarse voice, “Why are you scaring me? I was almost scared to death by you!”
Jiang Chao kept slapping his chest on his face in pain, and his cool face image was almost destroyed.
Xiang Nu glanced at him blankly, always feeling that it was not safe to speak behind the old man’s house, he pulled Jiang Chao’s sleeve and pointed to the side, then walked over quietly.
Jiang Chao glanced at him and silently followed behind Xiangnu.
Xiangnu took him around and walked to the front. Jiang Chao followed behind him. At first, he wondered what he was doing. When he saw Miao Dong, Zhong Liyun and Ding Zeming in front of him, he came over and took a few quick steps. He went down to Xiangnu’s side and joined the three of them.
Miao Dong and the others were discussing things. When they saw Xiangnu and Jiang Chao appear together, they were all stunned. Zhong Liyun asked, “Little Junior Brother, what about Third Senior Brother?”
Xiangnu replied: “I found something in Qiuyuan. The third senior brother is digging the hill. I can’t help you much. After thinking about it, I came to find you. How is your progress here?”
Miao Dong scratched his head embarrassedly, hehe smirked and didn’t speak, Ding Zeming shook his head helplessly and sighed: “I’m sorry, we didn’t find any useful clues, but after those villagers came back from Master’s house, we found that they were on the left side at the time. The group of villagers who didn’t care about us, the group that ignored us, were the villagers with red flags hanging at home. Their situation was quite strange. After we knocked on their door, they also opened the door, but when we talked to them, They didn’t care.”
“By the way, there are still talismans on their doors, and I don’t know what they are used for.”
Zhong Liyun looked at Xiangnu expectantly and asked, “Little Junior Brother, what clues have you found?”
Xiangnu replied: “I guess, Qiu Yuan may be sealing a person.”
Several people looked at each other in dismay, Xiangnu patiently told several people about the 206 bones and their distribution areas in the hill, explaining the reason for his guess.
Xiangnu said: “It’s just that I don’t know the identity of the person in Qiu Yuan, and I haven’t collected relevant information so far, but I guess that the person may be wrong with the master, otherwise the master will not lend our hand on the first day. Going to dig graves to elicit earth souls, and the senior brother will not show that fear.”
Ding Zeming frowned and thought for a while, then asked, “You are… What are you asking the third senior brother to do?”
The corners of Xiangnu’s lips twitched slightly, and the smile in his brows deepened: “I observed that only the skull of the man in Qiu Yuan is still intact, so I asked the third senior brother to dig out all his skulls. “
“The skull seals the aura and wisdom of life, and the dungeon is full of supernatural factors. Under such conditions, there may even be the ghost of that person in the skull. So I asked the third senior brother to dig out all the skulls. , After all the skulls are gathered, we may have the opportunity to meet the person who turned into a hill and get some truth about the copy from it.”
“Then what if there is danger?” Zhong Liyun was a little worried.
Xiangnu said casually: “I reminded the third senior brother, don’t hesitate to run if you are in danger.”
Zhong Liyun wanted to say something, opened her mouth and closed it again. Then she looked at Jiang Chao and asked in doubt, “Fourth Senior Brother, didn’t you go all the way alone? Why did you come along with the younger Junior Brother?”
Jiang Chao smiled reluctantly, and then replied blankly: “Halfway, hit me. I. Enter, senior brother, room, inside, there is a phone!”
Miao Dong rubbed his chin and pondered: “There really is a phone, so besides the TV and the place, are there any other electrical appliances?”
Jiang Chao shook his head without even having to recall, which shows that he also thought of this and checked it out.
Xiang Nu asked with great interest, “Fourth Senior Brother, how did you get into the Senior Brother’s room, aren’t you afraid of being discovered by Master?”
“Single door, means.”
Xiangnu was thoughtful, Zhong Liyun frowned and thought hard, suddenly remembered something, and asked: “Fourth Senior Brother, Sixth Junior Brother, you have all seen the TV, have you seen what is on the TV? Generally speaking, if there is a particularly strange thing in the dungeon, there must be very clues and value in itself, and it is most likely a hint from the system!”
Jiang Chao looked at Ding Zeming: “The TV is off, not on for fear of noise.”
Everyone can understand that Jiang Chao sneaked in to find clues, but even if he knew that there was a problem with the TV, he couldn’t turn on the TV to watch it, otherwise, wouldn’t he be telling others that there was a burglar in the house.
Jiang Chao has no clues there. Everyone can only hope that Jiang Chao, who went in with integrity, also knew that it was a black and white TV, so he must have known it after reading the content inside.
Ding Zeming sighed lightly: “I saw the TV on when I first entered, and I quickly watched it a few times, but I only saw a Taoist priest in a Taoist uniform. Master just snapped it off.”
Hearing what Ding Zeming said, everyone was instantly disappointed and sighed.
Xiangnu glanced at the closed door behind them and said, “Let’s put the TV thing on first, let’s settle the villager’s affairs first. I told the third senior brother to go back early, so we can’t delay it for too long. .”
Several people cheered up and followed Xiangnu to the front door.
Xiangnu took out the talisman paper he had picked up from his trousers pocket, flattened the talisman paper and pressed it next to the talisman paper on the door for comparison, and came to a conclusion: “I don’t understand a lot of things, but the two talismans are incomprehensible. The content on the paper is probably similar, except here in the middle.”
Xiang Nu pointed at the small letter in the middle framed by the red frame. There were two characters on the door, but three characters in the frame on the talisman paper in his hand.
Ding Zeming looked at it and said unsurely, “It seems to be a name written here.”
“Name.” Xiang Nu was stunned: “What is the talisman paper generally used for?”
“Usually, it’s to ward off evil spirits.” Miao Dong tapped the cinnabar on the yellow paper on the door: “This thing can exorcise ghosts, as well as black dog blood.”
Xiangnu looked at the talisman paper in his hand in a daze, Zhong Liyun said, “Is the talisman paper pasted on the door in order to suppress the evil spirits in the house? Who posted this talisman paper?”
Xiang Nu looked over and said with a smile, “Our master knows Taoism and has such a high reputation. If the village is haunted, who do you think the villagers will look for?”
Of course, looking for the old man.
Miao Dong said lightly, “No wonder that group of villagers have been looking at Master with the same eyes as their enemies. Maybe they really have a big hatred.”
Xiang Nu shook the talisman paper dug from Xishan in his hand, and said lightly: “Let’s not talk about these first, let’s look for the relationship between the Xishan talisman paper and the talisman paper on this door… Who are you? , to see if there is any one that raises the red flag, and the talisman paper pasted on the door is the same as mine?”
Miao Dong immediately said: “I’ll go, I’ll go, leave the errands to me.”
Miao Dong leaned over to look at the old talisman paper in Xiangnu’s hand. He really couldn’t understand the ghostly drawn talismans on it. After barely remembering the shape of the three words, he went to the doors of the various houses to raise the red flag to compare. That’s right.
Xiangnu remembered what Ding Zeming said at the beginning, and asked, “Senior Brother Six, you knocked on the door of the villagers before, did they have symptoms that they wanted to do something?”
Ding Zeming shook his head: “They are not interested in us.”
Xiangnu nodded, grabbed the door knocker with his fingers and tapped lightly.
The reddish-brown wooden door creaked, and a thin crack opened.
After looking at him for a few seconds, Xiangnu asked, “Hello, can we ask you something?”
The villager stared at him for a few seconds, without answering, his two eyeballs moved to the left, pointing straight to the left.
Xiang Nu followed his line of sight, and his eyes fell on the talisman paper. He held the talisman paper and asked patiently, “Do you want me to tear this thing apart?”
The villagers still didn’t speak or move, but their gazes were instantly burning with anticipation.
The meaning of the villagers was obvious. Xiangnu glanced at the other three and asked for their opinions: “Tear, or not to tear. The vote is decided, and the minority obeys the majority.”
Ding Zeming and Zhong Liyun looked more solemn.
Xiangnu said lightly, “I’m throwing a tear.”
Jiang Chao also said decisively: “Tear!”
Ding Zeming and Zhong Liyun looked at each other with a wry smile, and said helplessly, “Tear it up, then tear it up.”
As for Miao Dong, who was still hanging around at the door of each house, everyone ignored him. He was not in front of his eyes, and it didn’t matter to him if he was in danger. There was no need to pay attention to his opinions!
Zhong Liyun was very hesitant, hesitant and hesitant to keep silent, and let the others decide.
Xiang Nu stretched out his hand to take off the talisman paper, moving slowly, and took off the talisman paper completely after writing down the shape of the name on the talisman paper.
His memory is very good. After writing down specific content, he will forget the content after not recalling it for a period of time.
After the talisman was taken off, it immediately turned into a white light and dispersed.
The villager behind the door smiled oddly and opened the door. The villager’s body proportions looked strange, his face was normal, but his body was abnormally thin. The not-so-fat jacket was placed on the villager’s body like a pocket. It is loose and slack like it is put on a person.
The villager and the missionaries said, “Give me back my body, and I can answer a question for you.”
“If you can’t find it back…” The villagers’ eyes were as black as stagnant water. Although the words were a threat, their tone did not fluctuate. They were extremely dead, giving people an extreme coldness: “Give me your bodies.”
The crowd frowned.
Xiangnu lowered his head and thought for a while, then rudely pulled the door directly, and said to several other companions: “Let’s go to Xishan, I wrote down the name of this person just now, and went to Xishan to look for him, maybe his body is buried in the Below the opposite rune paper.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not there. We can bring back the talisman paper and stick it on his door. It should be just as useful.”
Jiang Chao asked: “Then, it’s useless, what should I do?”
Xiang Nu touched his chin and said with a smile: “Look for the senior brother to borrow some sweat medicine, and let Da Hei be dazed and bloody, and draw a picture on the spot?”
Several people:”…”
The slaves seemed to be joking. The other people didn’t take it seriously, but they weren’t too stressed. Several people had already seen that the relationship between ghosts and monsters in this dungeon was not harmonious, especially the dungeon boss, that old man, who could be called Above is the public enemy of ghosts.
Only the old man is really dedicated to the tasker, and other ghosts also have some ideas for the tasker, but compared with the old man, the attraction to the ghosts is hardly worth mentioning.
Xiangnu took a few people to climb the West Mountain. The side of the West Mountain by the river was deserted. Only a few talisman papers were exposed on the flat and dry ground, but there were still many weeds and flowers on the inner side. Mountains are no different.
Xiangnu’s physical strength is not as good as the others, and after running around this small village several times before, he is relatively backward.
However, Xiangnu is not in a hurry, and the others also pay attention to the distance between each other and do not pull too much.
Xiang Nu walked slowly, and the touch under his feet suddenly changed. It was soft but elastic. It was obvious that it was a living creature.
Xiang Nu lowered his head blankly, moved his feet, and saw a very thin and small white snake coiled beside his feet, with silver scales shining, and red eyes like gems, very delicate and beautiful.
The white snake looked at him silently, and after Xiangnu also looked at it, it swayed and stood up, and quickly got into Xiangnu’s trouser legs, wrapping around his legs, from the calf to the bottom of the leg, and then squeezed the The elastic belt was neatly coiled around Xiangnu’s waist, and then to his shoulders and arms.
When the scales slid across the skin, it felt cold and rough, not abrasive, and felt strange.
The beautiful young man stood there blankly, with a blank expression, almost at a loss for words.
