Chapter 43 Chapter 10 The Dead Urn

The stone wall next to the bed was empty, Chen Bai slapped it down, and the secret door with the keyhole appeared in front of him.Lu Yuanqing inserted the key Shen Bai gave her into the door hole, and the moment he turned it along the direction of the lock, the two of them had tacitly found the angle and position where they could hide and evade the fastest once there was a mechanism inside. There is no agency.Just like that, the mysterious black door full of dark patterns opened in front of him.Shen Bai and Lu Yuanqing looked at each other, and then both walked in, and the door closed slowly behind them, as if it had never been opened.

Contrary to the darkness of the previous stone room, this unbelievably large place was filled with candles, and the air current the two walked in caused the flames to change indistinctly, jumping in this grotesque underground kingdom like a cover. A strange smell came over his face, Shen Bai couldn't help covering his nose, but with the candlelight in the room, the scene in front of him was a bit chilling. There are white curtains hanging here, and the edges of the curtains are surrounded together, like a tightly wrapped sealed urn, and the top of the curtain is wrapped with circles of straw ropes, which is both tight and strong.

Roughly counting the past, there are dozens of them.They are arranged in an orderly and close manner, which will give people a dazzling illusion at first glance. The things inside should not be very heavy, otherwise, if such a pile is hung on the roof, it will crush the place.Lu Yuanqing thought secretly, then walked to the hanging urn closest to her and observed it carefully. The curtain cloth at the bottom of the hanging urn is open, and the natural closure makes people think that it is enclosed, but it is not.Turning his head to look inwards, there seemed to be a slight red tinge, Lu Yuanqing padded the sleeves of his green robe, and pulled back a corner of the curtain cloth, suddenly, a bright red name came into view.

A one-year-old boy from Qiaohu's family in Modong Village. Lu Yuanqing looked at these words in surprise.After a while she looked back at Shen Bai, only to see that he was standing in front of another hanging urn covered with a white curtain, lost in thought. "Guanlan?" "Yongsheng's house in Moxi Village, girl, seven months old." Shen Bai pointed to the hanging urn in front of him, and then looked at the hanging urn next to him, "I saw that one just now, and it said: Aunt Seven's house in Modong Village , boy, three years old." "So this is the Hanging Soul Tomb?" Lu Yuanqing slowly let go of the curtain in his hand, and then swept the orderly arrangement of hanging urns in the room, and suddenly sighed.

"You have some knowledge." The sharp, damp, and gloomy voice sounded again, as if it suddenly emerged from the ground. But... it is true. The place ten steps away in front of it suddenly parted from the middle, and the sound of the rubbing of the giant boulder in the mechanism filled the ears, and there was a toothache discomfort constantly hitting. The urns hanging above the head began to shake slightly due to the underground movement, as if the pale faces were moaning in despair. A high platform rises slowly, abruptly rising in the middle of the broken ground, and the surrounding arched guard is about two feet away, and you don't need to lower your head to look forward, you can hear the cold-blooded snakes crawling. The sound of moving and strangling, cold, cruel but real.

"The skeletons of underage children are placed in this urn?" Lu Yuanqing looked at the black linen-clothed figure standing on the high platform in the distance. This figure was empty, as if it would be blown away by a gust of wind. "No, it should be said to be a corpse." The woman like a black ghost laughed hysterically again, "Is it fair for these poor children not to give a whole corpse even after death? Because there is no whole corpse, So no ritual can transcend their souls, I can only hang them here and wait for the person who took away their incomplete parts to appear, then I can find a way to release them."

"What...are they missing?" Shen Bai asked with a frown. "Regardless of life or death, it will not become an indispensable thing for the walking dead. It should be the human heart?" Lu Yuanqing couldn't help sighing when he remembered the bright red handwriting on the hanging urn. The woman hiding under the black sackcloth said angrily: "Not bad! Not bad! All the children hanging here have had their hearts gouged out. Even if they are ghosts, their chests are empty. How can they be reconciled? How can they be reconciled?" "How could this be?" Shen Bai glanced at the countless urns in front of him in shock, only feeling a chill in his chest.

"Good question, dog officer!" The woman's voice was hoarse and jerky, like a broken sword whining on a whetstone, "Why? I asked the same question at the beginning. Do you know how that man answered me? He said, these If the child is lucky enough to be loyal to the emperor, he should feel lucky for three lives." The body under the black sackcloth trembled violently, and then he knelt down on the ground slowly, "I'm guilty, I'm a sinner! I'm a sinner with bloody hands It is my fault that I lost the lives of these children because of my stupid decision. It is also my fault that I killed all the old, young, women and children in the village. It is my fault that the ancient village has been reduced to ashes. It is my fault to kill the enemy..."

Shen Bai's face was astonished, "No! How could this matter be related to the emperor? The emperor would not even know that there is a place called Danggu Village in this world, so how could he win the hearts of these children? The emperor never I like these things that hurt lives and go against the law of heaven..." "Of course the emperor won't know." Lu Yuanqing interrupted Shen Bai lightly, "It's like the emperor doesn't know where the ancient village of Ding is, let alone know what kind of catastrophe this place called the ancient village of Ding has experienced because of him. and stories."

"Yuan Qing, do you believe what she said?" Shen Bai looked at Lu Yuanqing puzzled. "It must be a story that I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." Lu Yuanqing took a few steps forward, "Girl, you refused to tell us the truth, but you led us step by step, in the end What is it for? You also said that we are not the enemies you are looking for, aren't we?" "Yes, you are indeed not the person I am looking for, but so what? You are friends and accomplices of the enemy! You go in and out of the same door as dogs of the same species! The dog officials' colleagues are naturally dog ​​officials, and they have contacts with the dog officials. People are definitely not good people, I have already told you the reason, even if you die here, you don't have to cry for injustice!"

"Is your enemy the Jin Yiwei who is dressed in brocade clothes?" Lu Yuanqing took two steps forward. "Look, don't you already know, but you still put on a pretentious attitude..." The hand hidden under the sackcloth suddenly raised, "Stop, take another step, and I will push him down Already!" In the blink of an eye, maybe it is just a moment.Behind the round platform where the weird woman in sackcloth was standing, there was a sound of a mechanism, and a heavily tied man had already been grabbed by the shoulder by her. "Yutang?" Shen Bai was shocked, and just took two steps forward, but was stopped by the woman: "Dog officer, do you want to save him? If you want to save him and don't want to watch him die in the belly of a snake, then Just show your sincerity." "What exactly do you want?" Shen Bai slowly clenched his palms in his cuffs. "I once knelt down and begged that dog official to let my sister and the people in the village go, but he still gave the order ruthlessly. It seems that people who can be officials have a hard heart." The woman in sackcloth slightly Turning his head, he seemed to look at Song Yutang beside him, and then said to Shen Bai: "Is he your friend or colleague? Tell me about his identity, and I'll think about what you should do..." "Monster! Stop talking nonsense! I'm just your son's servant. It's wishful thinking for you to blackmail me! You are a sinister, shameless and despicable monster, not only ugly in appearance, but also dirty in heart. If you have the ability to let me go, you and I Decide the outcome, you cowardly rat..." Song Yutang didn't finish cursing, and was already slapped twice by the sackclothed woman, "You dare to speak rudely as a prisoner, be careful I'll dig out your tongue!" The woman's palm was full of anger, and after two palms, dark red blood slid down the corner of Song Yutang's mouth, dripped on his front, and slowly melted away. "Conditions, yes, what, what?" Seeing this, Shen Bai's anger rose, and the gentle aura around him disappeared without a trace. "My heart is not as hard as you dog officials. You might as well kneel down and beg me like I did back then. I am the softest person. I am afraid I will really agree to let you let him go. Otherwise, what a wet place on this round platform." Slippery, if I accidentally loosen this rope in my hand, he will slide all the way down to feed the snake." "Fart, fart! Let my son kneel down on you? How can you be worthy of you? My son's legs have never been kneeling to the old lady. When the son was interviewing the king in the top three halls of high school, he also knelt down on the emperor's old man in the Jinluan hall. Your majesty is the real dragon emperor and the ruler of the world, the master and wife have the grace to nurture and teach you, what are you, you are worthy of saying such shameless words, you are really shameless and generous..." Although the mouth was full of blood foam, But it still couldn't stop Song Yutang from chattering, his anger turned bloody, like crabapple flowers falling after the rain, desolate but beautiful. As Song Yutang talked more and more, the girl in sackcloth raised her hand again, but it was Shen Bai who moved faster than her. He moves fast just because it is simple, very simple. He took a step forward, lifted the hem of the black robe with one hand, and knelt down on his knees. The raised hand of the woman in sackcloth stopped next to Song Yutang's cheek, and Song Yutang also stared wide-eyed in astonishment, "Your...you..." What are you doing!Why kneel down to her!why!why! Shen Bai knelt on the ground, looking from a distance, he seemed to be a bit shorter than the woman in sackcloth, but the expression on his face returned to the previous peace, even a little calm. He first smiled at the sackclothed woman, "You're wrong, Yutang is not my friend, nor my colleague, and naturally she won't be my servant." He smiled especially happily when he said this, and then smiled Holding back his smile, he said solemnly, "Yutang is my brother."
