[082] Skeleton Secret
When Zhong Kui was discovered before, Zhiqing had no chance to go down to the tomb. The person who rescued Zhong Kui was someone else, not Wen Gen anyway. When they later searched for that person, it was said that he had died accidentally.
When Zhiqing and Zhong Kui went down to the tomb, the eerie cold hit them at every opportunity. The feeling at that time could be described as gusts of wind.
When Zhiqing went down to the tomb, under the guidance of Zhong Kui, he saw the tablet that was still standing on the stone staircase. The font on the tablet was vaguely visible. The general meaning of the tablet was to remind the people of heaven to do great things.
!
The two entangled skeletons were still hugging each other so friendly. Maybe their entry shocked something. This alerted the creatures hiding in the skeleton's eye sockets. I saw a centipede with a lack of golden luster all over its body, quickly passing by.
The black holes in the skull's eye sockets crawled out.
When a living person faces two entangled human skeletons in person, if he wants to maintain 100% clarity and calmness, he must have a strong psychological quality to achieve this state.
Zhong Kui has such a psychological quality. After enduring the harsh environment in the tomb, he has immunity that ordinary people do not have. So he was very calm when he went to the tomb, as calm as walking on flat ground.
Zhiqing was different. It wasn't that he didn't have a strong psychological quality, but he had never looked at two ferocious-looking skeletons at such a close range. When he caught a glimpse of the centipede crawling out of the skull's eye socket, he was shocked.
He was so frightened that he barely managed to escape from the tomb.
Even if you are afraid, you still have to do the right thing, right?
With the confident Zhong Kui by his side, Zhiqing was able to calm down and carefully inspect the skeletons one by one.
Zhong Kui always thought of the feeling he had in hallucinations in the tomb. At that time, he had hallucinations after eating poisonous fruits. Steel needles as thin as hair, etc. were all hallucinations.
Zhiqing found that the whole skeleton seemed to have not been touched by anyone, and after Zhong Kui confirmed it, he was even more certain that the legend that there were ancient corpses in the tomb that he had heard before was not based on facts.
In today's turbulent era, who still has the heart to engage in such a thing? It's just a perfunctory form. It's similar to the exaggeration trend that's popular today, just like the idea that trains are pushed and cowhide is blown.
Anyway, in this day and age, it depends on who knows how to brag. People can use two-pronged words and brag to the sky about something that doesn't matter. No one cares.
The following verified facts disproved the rumors Zhiqing had heard.
The two of them took off the dagger from the skeleton. The dagger was heavy enough, but it was not its own weight. It should be that their blood condensed on the dagger, causing it to rust and increase its thickness.
Zhong Kui picked up the dagger and bumped it against the stone wall of the tomb pit. This bump knocked off a large piece of the rust on the dagger. After the rust was knocked off, the dagger's original appearance was revealed.
There is a font engraved on the dagger. This dagger gave Zhong Kuina a short handle with a slightly shorter sheath. The font on the dagger is Xia Zhi'an.
Xia Zhi'an is exactly the person Zhiqing and the others are looking for. Could it be that one of the two skeletons is Xia Zhi'an?
Finding Xia Zhi'an by accident undoubtedly gave Zhiqing a big surprise.
What exactly happened to Xia Zhi'an and this dear friend?
If Zhiqing guessed correctly, the person who was entangled with Xia Zhi'an was definitely another person who disappeared without any reason.
Just when Zhiqing was extremely confused, Zhong Kui said: "Uncle Chen, I remembered something."
Zhiqing glanced at Zhong Kui speechlessly, silently allowing the other party to continue talking.
Zhong Kui continued: "I don't know how to read. I can recognize the large and small characters, but I can't recognize them. I can only read the patterns. When I was flipping through them, I saw an article with a strange pattern."
"What a strange method?"
Zhong Kui frowned as if he was remembering, then looked at Zhiqing and continued: "That article is all patterns, there are no fonts. The pattern looks like, uh..." He subconsciously looked into the tomb, and then said: "There is nothing here
, by the way, it’s almost the same as that sarcophagus.”
"Then what?" Zhiqing asked nervously.
"There is a body lying in the sarcophagus..." Zhong Kui said, pointing to the skeleton that had been torn apart by the two of them and said, "This kind of skeleton."
"What else? Think about it carefully."
''Hiss!'' "And...and...by the way, there is another person holding something in his hand, standing next to the sarcophagus, and also holding a book in his hand. It seems like he is chanting something.
"Do you still remember what that book looks like?" Zhiqing asked urgently.
Zhong Kui nodded and said, "I remember."
"Well, we don't have the ability to finish it here at the moment. Let's go back to Old Man Xia's house to read the book first."
Zhong Kui nodded again, put the dagger in a cloth bag, glanced at the fragmented skeleton, clasped his hands and bowed hastily to them both.
When Zhiqing saw Zhong Kui doing this, he quickly bowed to the two skeletons and murmured in his mouth: "I'm sorry for disturbing your peace. We can wait until we have settled the matter before we can have a good memorial ceremony."
Thank you both."
Zhiqing was telling the truth. He had traveled far and wide and had heard of some strange things that science could not explain clearly.
Although it is said that in order to seek the truth, one has no choice but to disturb the deceased. But once one offends the evil spirit, the consequences can be imagined.
Zhong Kui, on the other hand, looked complacent and fearless. After a few words of explanation, he kept urging him to leave.
Wen Gen stayed alone on the ground and waited in fear for a while. He kept looking at his watch and looking at the silk thatch that was constantly shaking in the wind. He was afraid! He was afraid that something terrible would suddenly appear.
Especially when I think of the three people who died bloody deaths in the woods, I am even more frightened and my legs are shaking like chaff.
But when he thought about it, he realized that the bloodthirsty werewolves had been eliminated, and he felt a little more at ease. When the wind came again and blew the silk thatch and other things into motion, his heart started to beat fast again.
After waiting for a while, I finally felt the kudzu vine I was holding tightly shaking in my hand, so I jumped up nervously and shouted, "Are you up?" His voice was really vibrating.
When Zhong Kui and Zhi Qing climbed up from the bottom of the pit, they saw that Wen Gen's face was completely white without a trace of blood, and even his lips were as purple as the color of eggplant.
Zhiqing asked Wengen what was going on with concern.
Zhong Kui pursed his lips and snickered. He knew that Wen Gen had arrhythmia due to various fears, and then his face changed color and other reactions.
Wen Gen didn't notice someone snickering. When asked by his master, he deliberately made an expression that was uglier than crying and said: "Cold, jumping, hey, hey!"
"As long as it's okay, let's go back to Old Man Xiaxia's house as soon as possible."
