Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

The torch was extinguished, and Zhaoran couldn't see who the person was at the entrance of the cave. He could only faintly see someone climbing down, so Zhaoran took out the Demon Falling Bow and shot an arrow at that person.

The Falling Demon Bow was fired instantly, and the arrows melted into the night without a trace, but the man was still able to twist his body to avoid the arrows in a hurry, which shocked Zhao Ran, but then the man fell from the rope After falling down, it fell straight to the ground and bounced a few times before being silent, and Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

He crawled over on tiptoe and saw that the man's body was round and didn't even hear Zhigeng's thin waist, so he quickly turned the man over, took a torch to light it again, and couldn't help being dumbfounded. The man who fell was a Little fat man, his whole face is like a white dough, his skin is firm and smooth, and he clearly understands why he still bounces when he falls from above, it must be fleshy.

"Fatty, watch from below!" Someone shouted from above again.

Zhao Ran looked up, and there was another person coming down from above, it seemed to be the little fat man's accomplice, he wanted to find a place to hide, but the person above had sharp eyes, and he had already seen him: "Stop, who is it?" !"

There was only one path at the bottom of the well, and he didn't know where it would lead, so he had no choice but to hide the bow in his back waist first, and then waited for the man to come down.

That person was the same as the little fat man, but there was an extra layer of tulle covering his face, revealing a pair of big watery eyes. He saw the little fat man lying on the ground in a blink of an eye and said angrily: "How dare you attack Jin Yiwei!" !"

Zhao Ran really wanted to cry, the Jin Yiwei who offended before him had not been resolved, yet he offended another one so quickly, but right now he absolutely couldn't admit it, he quickly waved his hand and said: "This official, this Lord is It has nothing to do with Xiaomin that he fell from the rope!"

This person didn't know whether he was in a good mood after listening to the title of the official, or because he didn't deal with the little fat man who fell down. You usually eat less, look at you, you have torn the rope."

"What Guan Ye said is true, this climbing up and down work, if it is not as light as a swallow like Guan Ye, then it is really easy to fall." Zhao Ran flattered.

The man glanced sideways at Zhao Ran: "Why are you here?"

With tears in his eyes, Zhao Ran said: "Your Majesty, from Rongzhuang of Nujia, I went to the town today and came back a little late, how could I know that the whole village has disappeared, and the Master is the master of Nujia!"

The man's eyeballs rolled around his face, Zhao Ran felt calm in his heart, the skin on his face belonged to a woman, this plan could not be faked, but the man quickly touched his chest, Zhaoran was taken aback, and his words became incoherent: "Officer, official, what do you want to be a slave to!"

"Bah!" the man said, "You Rongzhuang people want to fish in troubled waters in front of us Luozifeng people just because of your three-legged cat disguise skills!"

Zhao Ran clutched his chest and couldn't continue talking for a while, the man proudly said: "For example, the best way to fake this chest is to fill it with two pig urine bubbles, then make a bag and tie it in front of the chest, so that it will be elastic. , and there is a sense of sagging, and you can’t tell the truth from the fake without touching it!”

"Accepted, taught!" Zhao Ran stammered.

"Report your name! If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for interrogating you. You have heard of the methods of Jin Yiwei!" The man said sharply.

Zhao Ran wept and lowered his head and said: "Don't dare to lie to the official, the villain Rong Xian is indeed from the Rong family village. When I came back to the village today, I found that the whole village was gone, so I went down to the ancestor's grave." Let's see what happened, how did the official know about our Zhuangzi's accident?"

The man snorted: "The magic town clock in Rong'an Town was almost deaf. I guessed it was Rongjiazhuang. Halfway through the road, this fat man followed him. Who would have thought that he would faint as soon as he came?" It's gone!" After speaking, he took pleasure in other's misfortune and kicked the little fat man on the ground again.

Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the little fat man was not dead, he actively held a torch for the masked man and said: "The official is really wise, you can tell it's our village just by guessing."

"Don't you know the history of your village?"

Zhaoran thought he really didn't know, and his face showed a look of confusion: "Aren't we the guide village?"

The masked man sneered again: "Look at you stupid, your village is Ronghou Village." He also found the small passage beside the well, but he seemed to be a little worried and pointed to the entrance of the cave, "You go ahead !"

"What's your surname?" Zhao Ran asked.

"Why, don't you believe that I'm Jin Yiwei?" The masked man took out his waist card and shook it, "Young Master Zuyin, you should ask about it."

Clearly, the road ahead has already been passed for a while, so he bowed and walked ahead with a torch in his hand: "Yes, yes, sir, I am from Rongjiazhuang, but I really don't know what kind of village our village is." ?”

"Ronghou Village is, of course, a place for the Hou Ye to live, but this Hou Ye is not the Hou Ye of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Where is that marquis?"

The footsteps sounded "hey" twice: "Have you ever heard of King Zhou entrusting the world?"

"I've heard it, I've heard it!" Zhao Ran flattered, "It is said that the king of Zhou was ordered by the gods to defeat Zhou, and many gods came down to help."

Zuyin said disapprovingly: "Ordinary people like good talk, but nine out of ten are nonsense."

This sentence clearly agrees in my heart, and I can't help but have a bit of sincerity in my tone: "The official has great insight!"

"Back then, King Zhou was the ruler of the world. Could it be that the Jiuchi Meat Grove was just for viewing? Why did King Zhou overthrow King Zhou?"

In my heart...

Foot tone tortured Zhaoran, but he himself said more than Zhaoran. He continued: "The king of Zhou recruited many strangers back then, so when he divided up the world, not only some people were sealed, but also strangers who helped him. Ronghou Village, Rongde is the Yirenhou back then."

Zhao Ran couldn't help thinking of the smuggler, and asked, "Then official, who do you think our Zhuang Nian looks like?"

"If my deduction is correct, it should be General Tianmang."

The footsteps seemed unreliable, and his deduction was even more unreliable, but this sentence was surprisingly accurate, and Zhao Ran also thought that the person hidden in Rongjiazhuang was probably some kind of General Tianmang.

Zuyin was very irritable, and urged Zhaoran to go fast all the way, but he didn't notice that there were still paintings carved on the stone wall.

They didn't know how long they had been climbing, when suddenly sand and stones fell down in front of them, and they clearly raised the torch to take a closer look, only to find that they had climbed on a broken wall, although it was only about ten meters high from the ground, but If he fell straight down like this, he might not be able to get up for a long time like that little fat man outside.

Outside the entrance of the cave is a water cave. From the cave, you can see stalactites hanging down. I don’t know how many years it has been formed. The torch shines past and the ground is dark.

"You go down first!" Zuyin took out the rope and tied it on Zhaoran's body. Zhaoran had no choice but to go down even if he didn't want to. When he got down to the ground, he saw that the soles of his feet were wet. Copper coffin.

It seems that the heavy copper coffin can actually float on the water, floating but not sinking.

When the footsteps reached the ground, he took out a five-claw rope hook from his rucksack, threw it out and grabbed the copper coffin, then turned his head and said, "Come quickly and help."

Zhaoran grabbed the rope, but the copper coffin was not as heavy as they imagined. He dragged it ashore in two or three strokes, and walked around the copper coffin three or two times with his footsteps. He took out the iron crowbar and began to open the coffin, Zhaoran slipped a few steps away quietly, although the monster that the general python turned into was dispersed by Buddha that day, but who knows what else the real body in the coffin can turn into.

"It really is General Tianmang." Zuyin said to the coffin.

Zhao Ran couldn't hide his curiosity, he turned his head to take a look, and saw a pair of human bones in the copper coffin, only the skull didn't look like a human, but a bit like a snake.

He thought of the smuggler's aura during the battle of the city tower, with one man guarding the gate and all his bones withered. He didn't expect that after death, he would be hidden in an unknown well. Except for this copper coffin, there was nothing worthy of his status. He couldn't help feeling a little bit Sigh, he turned his head and saw Zuyin searching hard in the coffin.

"No...how could it not be?" Zuyin pulled off the veil, bared his teeth and groped for the coffin again. Although his facial expression was weird, it surprised Zhaoran. Ruhua can be called the most beautiful person that Zhaoran has seen in so many days.

"it is good……"

Zuyin searched but couldn't find it. Looking back, he happened to see Zhaoran's gaze, and sighed, "They are all ordinary people, so I usually wear a veil even at night."

Zhao Ran swallowed the "skin" abruptly, knocked on the coffin with his footsteps and said: "Have you heard from the elders that there is a hidden order in your village?"

"I don't know what order the official asked?" Zhao Ran's eyelids twitched.

Zuyin said: "The order of Nuo Gao or the order of General Taiyin."

Zhao Ran put on a look of reminiscence: "Guan Ye, you have to tell me more details so I can really think about it."

Zuyin said: "The order used by the king of Zhou to recruit foreign people was the Nuogao order. It is rumored that the last Nuogao order fell into the hands of General Tianmang."

Clearly remembering that the Snakehead had received the order from the King of Zhou, he couldn't help asking: "If the order of Nuo Gao has been in Rongjia Village, why no one came to look for it?"

Zuyin sneered: "Back then, the Yiren was ordered by the king to attack Zhou, and the King of Zhou sat on the throne, but the Yiren was not tolerated by others, so there was Ronghou Village. The King of Zhou broke his promise and became fat, but he was able to make peace with the Yiren at last. It’s all right. Although a generation of different people is not as good as a generation, but if Nuo Gaoling has no news at all, who wants to really tear their skin apart and not see the bones outside?”

"Is there any news from Nuo Gaoling now?"

Zuyin gave him a blank look: "The demon-suppressing bell keeps ringing, and the first message from Nuo Gaoling is that all the monsters will come out."

Zhao Ran shook his head: "I've never heard of it."

Zuyin didn't force her, but said distressedly: "After King Zhou, Nuo Gaoling never came back. Even if he was in the hands of General Tianmang at that time, he probably won't be here long ago."

He put the coffin lid back together, and thoughtfully burned two handfuls of paper money, which made Zhao Ran's impression of him a bit better.

The two climbed up from the well again, the little fat man at the bottom of the well hadn't woken up yet, his footsteps were roughly tied to his body, he climbed up the well, and then he climbed up the well too, seeing the footsteps at the mouth of the well with annoyed face Touch his belly, and immediately understand that he will invite him to eat chicken.

Zuyin also happily went forward, Zhaoran brought the native chicken, and asked: "Guan Ye, do you know where the stranger came from?"

"I don't know where it came from. About before the King of Zhou, our Central Plains was not only inhabited by mortals. Not too far away, we Jinyiwei had hundreds of households raising several of them. They did have magical powers, but compared to their ancestors I'm afraid it's a big deal."

Zhao Ran couldn't help but think of the dog slaves in his heart, and thought to himself that this would be considered a last resort, so wouldn't their ancestors have the ability to overthrow clouds and rain.

"For example, your ancestor, General Tianmang, is so good at making human skins."

Snakes are good at shedding skin...

Zhao Ran felt a little nervous: "The official has bought human skins from our village."

"It's not just us who bought it. The aliens are afraid of being recognized by others, so they often come to Rongjia Village to buy human skins. They have to mix with other people after wearing human skins. They will marry human beings in all likelihood. After a hundred generations, no Humanoid is also humanoid." Zuyin said with a grin, and for some reason, it was so obvious that his gallbladder grew hairy.

He also said: "However, our Luozi Peak has a different relationship with your Rong Village. It was just that we were able to protect you before, but now we can't. If you have nothing to do, go on the road early and chase the people in your village." Zuyin said Dragging one fat leg of the little fat man on the ground, regardless of whether the little fat man's head is knocked or not, he just dragged it all the way roughly.

Sitting there, Zhao Ran had mixed feelings in his heart. After listening to this, he couldn't help but think to himself that his greatest ability was not being a human skin. Could it be that the sky python was indeed his ancestor? When he thought of the snake head, his face turned green, and he quickly Shaking his head, thinking about the flying python chasing him closely, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, but wished that the flying python could catch up again.

He saw that the dawn was already dawning on the horizon, and he didn't dare to stay for long, Wen Zhigeng's dog slave could chase away wolf dogs ten miles away, and if he really wanted to escape, he would definitely be able to escape the dog slave's pursuit, so Zhao Ran just went straight Rong'an went to town, and he thought to himself that he had to return the Falling Demon Bow in his hand to little Buddha Jiuru first.
