Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

Zuyin pointed to the screen wall and said: "Generally, the screen wall is facing the gate, which is to block evil spirits, but the screen wall in this house has been moved to the left, allowing the ghosts in the tomb to come and go. This Li Mo is not afraid of those concubines. Go back and settle accounts with him? According to my analysis, I think there is..."

Chong'er pulled out a strip of meat: "Li Mo is a cold-hearted person, and it is absolutely impossible to build a tomb for the concubine's room, so here..."

Zuyin and Chong'er looked at each other, and it was rare for the brothers and sisters to say in unison: "Gold, silver, wealth, treasure!"

"It makes sense." Zhao Ran nodded in agreement.

Zuyin was gearing up and said, "Pry it open and have a look!"

Chong'er took out ropes, iron hooks, and a bunch of things from the big bag he was carrying, but he didn't have a shovel. He couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, and Zuyin couldn't help but sneered, "Are you going to pick it up with your claws?"

"It's better than the talisman paper peach wood sword you brought with you!" Chong Er retorted.

"If you didn't insist on following, I would have prepared these things myself!" Zuyin snorted coldly.

Zhao Ran was trying to prevent the two brothers from continuing their internal friction, when he heard a rattling sound, he turned his head and saw Jiu Ru standing aside, and the screen wall moved forward a few feet, revealing a five-foot-long and three-foot-wide wall above the ground. cave.

"There are no steps." Zuyin said and threw a stone down, and it took him a long time to hear a faint sound. He couldn't help taking a breath, "It's so deep!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiu Ru jumped down, and said in a surprised voice: "You friend, are you all right?"

After a while, Zhaoran heard Jiu Ru whispering in his ear: "Jump down!"

Zhao Ran smiled and said, "It's okay, then I'll go down first."

----

After he finished speaking, he also jumped down, hearing the wind whistling in his ears, Zhao Ran couldn't help shouting, he knew how deep the cave was, but he really didn't expect this ghost cave to be so deep.

At the bottom of the cave, Jiuru had already ignited a fire, and he caught Zhaoran with a single leap.

He used to always carry Zhaoran around, but this was the first time he hugged Zhaoran's waist, Zhaoran only felt that his soul and soul were all torn apart.

As soon as he hit the ground, he let out an "Aiyo", and Jiu Ru said, "What's wrong."

"This foot, this foot bone seems to be cracked by the ground." Zhao Ran hung on Jiuru's body, "I can't walk, I really can't walk."

"A broken leg? Let me see." Jiu Ru squatted down.

Zhaoran was afraid that Jiuru would find out that he was lying, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay, don't worry, man, I can bear this little injury."

Jiu Ru looked at him and said, "Then you lean on me and take it easy for a while."

Zhao Ran sighed and said, "It's just... that's it."

Chong'er followed his footsteps to climb down through the rope with a "hush" and the two people at the bottom of the cave quietly leaned together and glanced at Jiuru's side. Now it's changed to male love and male love, I don't know if it's feasible...

"I have something I've always wanted to ask you." Jiu Ru suddenly said

"What's the matter?" Zhao Ran asked quickly.

"You keep asking me what kind of person I like, but you never tell me what kind of person you like."

Zhaoran laughed and said, "Of course she is a beauty." Then he added in his heart a beauty like you.

"Beauty..." Jiu Ru said, "What kind of person is a beauty?"

Zhao Ran said: "That's rich. The peony is rich, the camellia is gorgeous, the chrysanthemum plum is proud, and the orchid lotus is clear, each has its own beauty."

Jiuru said "hmm": "You are very fond of both."

Zhaoran followed Jiuru's words and said "haha" twice: "Love is not aggression, the world is peaceful, and I always admire Mozi's thoughts."

Alas... After finishing speaking, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Oh..." Jiuru turned his head, only his eyes were visible on the mask.

Zhao Ran always felt that the most beautiful part of Jiu Ru was his eyes. Maybe it was because he didn't speak too much, so his eyes were like water flowing from a cup, as if thousands of words were only in the cup, making people drunk just looking at them.

Therefore, sometimes Zhao Ran can't help but think that Jiu Ru is not unmanly, it's just that his style is different from others.

----

He was thinking wildly, and the heavy ears and footsteps on the top finally reached the bottom of the cave.

Zuyin pointed at Zhaoran and panted, "What's wrong with you, are you injured?"

Zhaoran straightened his body and coughed: "I twisted my foot when I came down just now, it's much better now, let's go."

The four of them had prepared lighting objects, and they were all lit up at this time, and the light in the cave suddenly became much clearer.

"This hole seems to be natural." Zuyin took a picture of the fire folder and took a picture.

"Walking forward, they came to the end of the road, and saw a stone gate, and outside the stone gate were two huge stone statues, which looked like people wrapped in cloth strips.

This kind of figurine wrapped in cloth had actually been seen once in a box hidden in Mrs. Li's pond, but the stone statue was so big that he was still shocked when he saw it at first sight.

"This is called soul-fixing corpse. Legend has it that when King Mu of Zhou crossed Chishui to the west, he learned a trick from the Queen Mother. After this person died, he was wrapped tightly with cloth strips, and then he was given a secret method to bind the soul in the body and stay there. Then you can choose the opportunity to resurrect." Zuyin said, "During the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was popular among the royal family and the princes for a while, but the royal family believed in some Taoist resurrection techniques, so usually the dead soul corpses were used to guard the tomb. Those who are made into fixed soul corpses are usually the trustworthy generals of the master."

"Could it be that the people lying in this tomb are the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty, or the princes, so Li Mo specially built a fake tomb to cover it up?!" Zu Yin said.

Zhao Ran said, "Impossible."

Zuyin also said: "Why is it impossible?"

"Because the chiseled marks on these two stone statues are still fresh." Zhao Ran pointed to the corner of the stone statues.

"What is Li Mo doing with two big Buddha statues?" Zuyin asked in puzzlement.

"You'll know if you go in and have a look." Zhao Ran said.

Chong'er took out a bunch of things, fiddled with them, and actually opened the tomb door behind the corpse.

The four of them followed into the tomb one after the other, and saw five sarcophagi neatly placed in the tomb.

"Pry it open and have a look!" Zuyin said hastily.

Jiu Ru flipped his palm and hit the lid of the first coffin, and all five lids flew out at once. At this moment, Chong'er had just had time to take out the tools.

"They're all clothes tombs!" Zuyin said, looking disappointed.

Seeing a woman's clothes neatly arranged inside the five coffins, Chong Er pulled out a strip of meat and said: "According to my analysis, there must be articles in these five coffins."

Foot tone propped his chin and said: "According to my analysis, this article must be under the coffin."

"There are organs below!" Zhao Ran said.

The three of them went up and down, and finally split open the sarcophagus, but they couldn't find anything.

Zhaoran closed his eyes, Zuyin sat on the ground sweating profusely and said: "According to my analysis, these five sarcophagi must be a cover-up!"

Chong Er was sweating profusely: "According to my analysis, maybe we went the wrong way, the article is in the corridor outside."

"According to my analysis..."

Zhaoran opened his eyes and said, "You two should stop analyzing, and it will be dawn if you analyze again!"

Zuyin spread his hands and said, "Then what should we do?"

Zhao Ran said: "Let's spread out and look for it."

Chong'er picked up his bag and walked out towards the tomb. Zuyin searched the tomb again, but found nothing, so he hurried out of the tomb to chase after Chong'er.

Only then did Jiuru ask Zhaoran, "Where is the real tomb?"

Zhao Ran pointed to the top of his head: "Above."

Jiuru looked up at the top of the tomb: "Above?"

"Do you still remember when Zu Yin asked what the two huge stone statues outside were used for?" Zhao Ran said with a smile, "They were used as pillars."

"So there are tombs up there!" Jiu Ru blinked.

"Smart." Zhao Ran said with a grin.

Jiu Ru jumped up, and quickly reached the top of the cave along the stone wall. After a few punches, a hole was opened, and then he lowered his head and said, "Yes, there is a tomb up there."

As he spoke, he climbed up along the entrance of the cave, and after a while he found the rope and threw it to him, and then followed the rope that Jiuru let down to the tomb on the upper floor, and there was indeed a sarcophagus in the center of the tomb.

Zhaoran jumped up from the entrance of the cave, looked at the sarcophagus and said to Jiuru, "It seems that this is the real tomb."

"Open it and take a look!" Jiu Ru said.

This sarcophagus is heavier than the five sarcophagi just now. Jiu Ru slowly moved the coffin away with his hands, revealing the real body of the coffin inside. It’s so rich that I use Shenyin wood to make the coffin.”

"Move the coffin and have a look." Zhao Ran hurriedly said, he became more and more curious about who Li Mo buried in the coffin at such a high price.

Jiuru put his hands on the coffin lid inside and lifted it up vigorously. The strange thing is that the coffin was not nailed to death. As the coffin was moved away, a soft brilliance leaked out from inside.

"There are night pearls inside, and there are night pearls!" Zhao Ran said.

When the lid of the coffin was fully opened, there was a male corpse wearing a golden mask inside, and there was indeed a night pearl in the mouth of the corpse.

"Golden mask!" Jiuru asked, "Is it because Mrs. Li said she picked up that golden mask?"

Zhao Ran thought it was right, this golden mask was originally worn on the face of a person exactly like him, and now it is here.

"It turns out that Li Mo didn't dedicate the golden mask to anyone at all, but hid it for himself. Who did he hide it for?" Zhao Ran couldn't help talking to himself.

"Just take a look and you'll know!" Jiu Ru took off the mask as he said.

"Wait!" Zhao Ran was afraid that when the mask was taken off, the person revealed would be himself, but he never expected that it would surprise him even more than himself.

He opened his eyes wide. He had seen this corpse once last night, and now he saw it again.

Zhao Ran had thought about countless possibilities, but never thought that Shen Fangji's body would appear in the tomb built by Li Mo.

"There are still bamboo scrolls here." Jiu Ru pointed to a corner of the coffin.

"Bamboo slips?" Zhao Ran came back to his senses and saw a roll of bamboo slips in Shen Fangji's coffin.
