September is full of flowers

Several people stayed in place with lingering fear, the surroundings were pitch black, and they couldn't see their fingers.But Shen Man could smell Tang Jiuyue's body, and it was her smell that made her feel at ease.

Ding Lou kept silent, but even listening to his breathing, he was quite frightened.Think of him as a young man who was supposed to recuperate in a Miao village, but came here for various reasons.Not only did he fall into the hands of the treacherous Tang Jiuyue, but he was also bullied by Shen Man. It must be the most unlucky day in his life to fall to this point.

After a long time, Ding Lou's voice was heard in the darkness, "You said the imperial concubine is here, how do we find her?"

He didn't hear Tang Jiuyue's reply, but Shen Man heard the rustling of a dress in the darkness, and subconsciously touched his side, and sure enough Tang Jiuyue was gone.

Ding Lou obviously also heard the commotion here, but helplessly, his eyes were darkened, so he couldn't see anything.He simply closed his eyes and listened carefully with his ears.He turned around vigilantly, fearing that someone would attack him unexpectedly.

"Wow—"

A red light suddenly ignited, and the fire light reflected the side face of a person next to him.Her side face was naturally flawless, and when she raised her thick eyelashes a little, a pair of star-like pupils looked at her, which was indescribably beautiful.

"I didn't expect this thing to be lit after such a long time. The subjugated emperor treated her well. It's not hypocrisy." She said lightly, and walked to the side holding a fire pocket that came out of nowhere. , Lighted another long sleep lamp.

Shen Man hurried over to follow Tang Jiuyue to look around, and while looking at the place, he said with emotion, "This place seems to be handled very casually, the chisel marks on the wall are messy, it doesn't seem to have been carefully carved...it seems to be to open a hole to accommodate One person's coffin is enough. Didn't it mean that the emperor treats this concubine very well, and as far as the eye can see, the coffin of the concubine's empress is lying here alone—this is considered a kind treatment?"

After she finished speaking, she fixed her eyes on a corner, where there was indeed a coffin.Generally, the noble concubine's status is respected. In addition to building a cemetery, her shelter must be a coffin with three floors inside and three floors outside.Of course, there is no need to elaborate on the materials used, as luxurious as they are.The funerary objects are also a symbol of her status. A favored concubine like her should have been buried with many, but looking around, the place is empty, and the remaining broken pottery vessels are not worth a lot of money even if they are complete.Not even a strand of Tang Jiuyue's hair can compare.

Ding Lou walked over, he looked a bit slumped now, the turban that bound his hair was lost somewhere, a few strands of hair were scattered in front of his forehead, even his appearance was sluggish.

He looked down at the coffin, his black eyes narrowed suddenly, and he paused word by word in a trembling voice, "On this coffin... there is a demon-suppressing talisman!"

Tang Jiuyue gave a flat "Yes", "I know."

Shen Man asked, "What does it mean that there is a demon-suppressing talisman?"

Tang Jiuyue turned her head and looked at her expression of "you really don't read too much", touched her chin and walked leisurely to the coffin, then turned her back to the dark coffin full of evil spirits , patted the coffin lid, changed his tone and preached, "Xiao Man, if ordinary people die, it is enough to cover the entire coffin with a wedge and bury it in the ground. For less ordinary people, there may be various burial methods, such as Sky burial, water burial, cremation, and a little more strange ones that I like to be eaten by animals. What's even more peculiar is that they are first buried in the soil and turned into skeletons, then dug out and put in a pose for worship in their backyard. ..."

Shen Man's scalp was numb. Under such circumstances, Tang Jiuyue was in such a mood to talk about the types of encoffining. She was really not an ordinary person.

Ding Lou's face became more and more serious, almost blending into the darkness of the background.

Tang Jiuyue patted the coffin lid again, and continued, "It's a bit off topic, but—" She frowned slightly, because she felt the extremely slight vibration of the coffin lid, she thought for a while, and tore off a piece The demon-suppressing talisman shook in his hand, the blood-red handwriting on the demon-suppressing talisman made people uncomfortable. "When you see this talisman attached to the coffin, it means that someone feels that there is something unclean in the coffin, so they will use the method of blood sacrifice to suppress it."

Shen Man looked at the demon-suppressing talisman fluttering in her hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty, "If I see this demon talisman, what should I do?"

Tang Jiuyue said, "Escape."

"Miss Tang," Shen Man didn't care about Ding Lou, who was already looking ashen, "you tear off this talisman, do you know what's inside, and are you sure you can hold it?" I feel horrible, what if the coffin sealed with the demon-suppressing talisman is also opened, and a scary monster or zombie jumps out?

Shen Man didn't dare to go over, and waited anxiously for Tang Jiuyue's reply.

Tang Jiuyue frowned slightly and said in surprise, "Someone should have climbed in and cut off his arms and exchanged with the imperial concubine to lie in. He should have died a long time ago, isn't he dead?"

She wanted to pinch her fingers to count, but encountered some kind of obstacle in the middle of the count.A kind of imperceptible melancholy was condensed between her brows. Feeling the heavy gaze, she immediately relaxed that emotion and put on a relaxed expression.

"Doesn't Ding Lou want to see who is lying in it? If we don't let him see it with his own eyes, I'm afraid he won't give up."

"Ding Lou——" Shen Man originally wanted to persuade, but Ding Lou resolutely walked over again, stood beside the coffin and looked down at the coffin, "I want to see if what you said is true."

Shen Man looked at Ding Lou, and saw that skinny hand on his chest stretched out again. Those hands were going to catch Tang Jiuyue, but seeing a flash of light on Tang Jiuyue's body, those hands avoided it and threw it at the coffin instead. direction.

The lit lamp flickered suddenly.Only Tang Jiuyue's voice sounded softly, "Since you want to open the coffin, then open it."

The two stood facing each other, both facing Shen Man.Shen Man felt that there seemed to be sparks shooting out between these two people, and he couldn't even take a step closer.

"Miss Tang, let me help." Shen Man rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up.

"No," Tang Jiuyue said coldly, "I'm enough here." She slapped the coffin lid hard, and the eight wedges of the coffin popped out automatically.Then she heard her say lightly to Ding Lou, "It's up to you next." After finishing speaking, Ding Lou didn't care and walked away gently, and returned to stand by Shen Man's side.

"Xiao Man, do you have something on your mind?" Tang Jiuyue asked, but her eyes were fixed on the front.

Shen Man's heart twitched, a little flustered, "No, no." In such a situation, Miss Tang actually felt that something was wrong. I'm afraid that if this continues, my feelings will be revealed.What should... what should I do?

The only thing she can think of at the moment is to continue to cover up.

Tang Jiuyue rolled her eyes and looked at her from the corner of her eye.Just as he was about to say something, he heard a click from Dinglou, and then saw that the heavy coffin lid had been pushed to the ground.

Ding Huo seemed to be overwhelmed the moment the coffin was opened.He bent down and looked down, looking very carefully and seriously, standing there motionless, as if he had been petrified in an instant.

"Ding Lou? How are you doing!" Tang Jiuyue grabbed Shen Man's sleeve as soon as he took a step forward.

Ding Lou muffled, "Don't come here."

"Inside... what's inside?"

Ding Lou was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, then turned around and kept laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Man's heart went numb, and he felt that this smile was even more weird.

Tang Jiuyue took Shen Man's hand from behind, stepped forward and said, "What I said is the truth."

Ding Lou looked at her with a half-smile, "Why do you know everything, who are you guys, why do you know everything?!"

Shen Man naturally knew who Tang Jiuyue was, and also understood her abilities.She wasn't curious at all why Tang Jiuyue knew so much about this village, she just wondered why Tang Jiuyue showed that expression when she met the elder in the village.It's like meeting an old friend.

I only heard Tang Jiuyue say in that usual calm tone, "Since your ancestors made mistakes at the beginning, it is up to you to make up for it. Take out the dead bodies of the redundant people and let the noble concubine sleep forever. I believe that she will forgive you under the nine springs." of."

As soon as Shen Man heard it, he understood what Ding Lou saw in the coffin. It turned out that Ding Lou's ancestors were really in this coffin with the imperial concubine.

Hearing this, Ding Lou bent down and carried out a man with broken arms from the coffin. The man had gray hair, half of his face had been rotted, his clothes were still on, and he exuded a foul smell.Judging from the clothes, he is undoubtedly a Hmong.It must be the ancestor of Ding Lou.

After closing the lid of the coffin and sealing the wedge, Ding Lou and the two asked a few steps away, "How do we get out?"

Tang Jiuyue said, "The imperial concubine showed us the way out." As he spoke, he pointed to the coffin.Shen Man noticed that a piece of the wall behind the coffin suddenly protruded, and when he went over, it turned out to be a stone door.

"Is this coffin a weight mechanism? Only the right weight can activate the stone door on this rock wall?"

"En." Tang Jiuyue nodded, opened the stone door, narrowed her eyes slightly and said with emotion, "It's time to see the sun again."
