Death Spell

Chapter 19

"What are you talking about?" Le Wenyao listened to the conversation between the two outside with his ears up. The more he listened, the more curious he became, and he opened the tent and asked.

"Are you willing to come out?" Anya smiled and said, "You should be lucky, you've been living up there these two days, if you live down below, I'm afraid I'll see a beautiful mummy when I come to you."

The expressions of the two of them froze, especially Le Wenyao, who couldn't imagine himself as a mummified corpse.

"Don't... scare me!" Le Wenyao raised her eyebrows as she changed her shoes and stepped on the place that had already been killed.

"Scare you?" Anya snorted slightly, looked around, and said lightly, "When I came here, I was only on my way, but I ignored the feng shui here."

"Feng Shui?" Le Wenyao said.

"The dangerous peak behind us stands tall and overwhelming, surrounded by green trees, implying regeneration. Looking carefully, the arrangement of the forests is actually arranged according to the feng shui of the tomb. The river that passed by when we came here is deep and orderly. Slowly flowing down, the sound of water gurgling, all of these together form the pattern of the emperor's tomb."

With one voice: "The emperor's tomb?"

Le Wenyao felt a little apprehensive when she heard the word tomb, cleared her throat, and said, "Witch, are you sure?"

"It's just bad Feng Shui..."

"Because of the voice just now?" Le Wenyao asked.

Anya shook her head, and just about to say something, she heard the commander's long whistle echoing in the distance.It's just that when the commander's black figure swept across the tent, he loosened his claws and dropped something.

And this thing made the three of them startled.

It's a withered arm.

For Tang Song's identity, these are not terrible, but the dry color and the length of the black nails are a bit weird.

Anya looked at the arm and frowned.

Le Wenyao jumped when she saw it: "My God, what the hell is this?"

"Let me see."

This is a professional fault of Tang and Song Dynasties. He leaned over and looked around his arm carefully.

Anya handed Tang Song a branch and a saber, and said lightly, "The skin color is wrong, don't touch it with your hands."

Tang Song nodded and took the saber and branch, looked at the strange arm, looked back and forth, and responded: "Although the appearance is not very similar, the phalanx is one of the more characteristic bones of human beings, so I can be sure it is human. arm."

After getting Tang Song's answer, the two people behind were silent.

Tang and Song frowned. Could it be that there is still a case of dumping corpses here?

Although Le Wenyao was not as calm as they were at first, she recovered quickly.Seeing that the woman in front of her was examining such a disgusting thing with a saber and was so elegant, she bumped Anya with her shoulder: "Is she doing...?"

"Forensic." Anya responded softly.

"No wonder..."

Tang Song put a branch against one side of the arm to fix it, cut the skin with a saber, looked at the color of the bone inside, and said: "The bone is dark yellow, it seems to be old. But I don't understand why... the skin is just Dry and not corroded?"

"Could it be related to this geology?" Le Wenyao asked.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out..." Tang Song nodded in response.

Anya turned her head to look at the commander at the side, and said to Le Wenyao, "Your commander must have discovered something."

"Commander, what did you see?" Le Wenyao asked.

The commander just stood still on the stone steps, blinked his eyes and looked aside, flapped his wings twice without making any sound.

Le Wenyao curled her lips and said, "It rarely does this, it seems that it just discovered a very scary place."

"Can Miss Le talk to the eagle?" Tang Song asked while separating the skin and bones of the dry arm in front of him.Looking at the white layer on the inside of the cortex, I was puzzled and said: "It's strange, I don't understand a skeleton that has been dead for a long time, and there is evidence that the skin is dry, but there is something like fat inside the cortex..."

"Fat?" Le Wenyao, who is obsessed with cleanliness, didn't dare to think about it.

"The most suspicious thing is that the nails are black and long, and they look quite sharp." Tang Song said, holding the saber in his hand behind his arm for support, and hitting the nails with a wooden stick, the nails easily penetrated in the stick.

Although I don’t want to watch the scene, but with the explanation and demonstration of Tang and Song, the best narrator, Le Wenyao became interested, calmed down, and said: "Could it be primitive people? The witch also said, what is here? The emperor's tomb, maybe it's the boss of the primitive man..."

"If primitive people can also read Fengshui, I'd be interested to take a look." After An Ya said, looking at the surrounding scenery, she said, "If the best Fengshui cemetery gets turbid air, it will dissipate. It's not a good thing Phenomenon."

"What are we going to do now?" Tang Song asked, standing up and looking at Anya.

Anya stood aside, holding a jade gourd in her hand, looking at the place where the Commander flew over just now: "Since we are so curious, why don't we go over and find out." After speaking, his gaze fell to Le Wenyao and looked at Tang Song. .

Tang Song knew that if Le Wenyao helped them enter Wu Wenhao's missing tomb, they would naturally encounter similar strange things.In addition, she also wants to see what kind of environment can make the corpse become like this.

"Alright."

When Le Wenyao heard that she was going to explore such a disgusting thing, she felt very conflicted.Cleanliness is innate, and she doesn't want to.But the family is mainly based on tomb robbery, and there will be many days in the future. Le Wenyao will feel bad when he thinks about these people.

But seeing people from Tang and Song Dynasties, even a forensic doctor is not afraid...

How could she admit defeat, Miss Lejia?

"...I have no objection either."

"It's fine to go, but you need to change into a new suit, this one is not acceptable." Anya was puzzled as she spoke, she didn't expect this girl to agree.Thinking of something again, he said to Tang Song: "Pack up all the equipment we can bring, just in case."

"It's better to wear more, you wait for me." Le Wenyao got into the tent as he said.

Tang Song nodded and began to pack his things.

When he got out again after a while, Tang Song found that the woman in front of him seemed to have a new look.

Le Wenyao was wearing a camouflage sweater and trousers, black military boots on the soles of her feet, a fanny pack around her waist, and a camouflage scarf around her neck. Those who didn't know it thought she was a college student who came here for a trip.

It's just that she has such a good temperament that she looks good no matter what she wears, especially the white hair, which is the most eye-catching.

The mountaineering bag was in his hand, and two sword hilts could be seen on the mouth of the bag. The almost identical glyph reminded Tang and Song of something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

After getting ready, the three of them headed in that direction.

The road seemed longer than before. After all, it had rained, and even though the water penetrated the ground quickly, it was still very muddy.For a clean freak like Le Wenyao, this road is several times more difficult, and he is not in the mood to communicate at all.

The commander is flying above, showing them the way, which makes people feel very relieved.

But when they reached the bank of the river, Anya and Tang Song frowned, and even Le Wenyao asked curiously, "Why did the color of the water change? I came here two days ago, and it was fine..."

"It was fine just before it rained." Anya's voice was a little weak.

"This smell?" Tang Song sniffed it.

"It's sulfur." ​​Anya raised her finger and pointed above the water, where it was so foggy that she could barely see the way, and said, "Let's go and have a look, but be careful."

Le Wenyao was carrying a backpack, frowned, took out the silver whistle and blew into the sky, and within a few seconds the Commander responded: "I will ask the Commander to explore the road first, you follow me."

From Tang and Song's point of view, this eldest lady who seems to be careless and obsessed with cleanliness is actually very delicate in her heart.Sure enough, people are creatures that need to be explored slowly.

The three walked along the fog towards the upper reaches of the river, Le Wenyao walked in the front, Tang Song walked in the middle, and Anya followed.It's just that the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and it's easy to lose sight of the figure in front of you if you don't follow closely.

The road under her feet was also very difficult. Tang Song felt that she had stepped into the water, and when she was walking carefully, she accidentally stepped on a smooth stone. She almost fell, but was caught by Anya from behind.

"Be careful."

A cold voice brushed past his ears, and Tang Song was also taken aback, straightened up and said slowly, "Thank you."

"The road here is very difficult to walk, and the surrounding fog is very strange. I don't worry about Wen Yao's skill. Although you can fight two, you don't come here often after all. It's better for me to lead you." Anya said calmly, and at the same time took Tang Song's hand.

"I..." Tang Song just wanted to refute, "She can do it herself" but was overshadowed by another voice in the distance.

"Hey, come quickly." It was Le Wenyao.

Anya responded to Le Wenyao, not noticing Tang Song's strangeness, turned around and led her and walked over together.

Tang Song lowered his brows and looked at his raised arm. For some reason, all the anxiety was swept away by the coldness.

Walking that slippery road, through the fog, there is a huge brown mountain with bare rock in front of us.

The mountain is very large, and a huge crack can be seen from a distance, running across the mountain, and the peak of the mountain is covered with a layer of snow.

Presumably, this water flow was formed from the melting snow on the mountain.

At this time, the commander's voice sounded again from the front, and the stone wall standing in front of the three of them was an obstacle they had to overcome.

Le Wenyao is the best at rock climbing. Putting gloves on her slender and fair hands, she climbed up as easily as a Spiderman, and dropped a rope from above.

Anya took the rope, and said with a twist of her mouth: This girl has grown up.

Turning around and handing the rope to Tang Song, he said, "You go first."

Tang Song nodded, and it was indeed a lot easier to climb up by pulling the rope and using his strength, but he found that the rocks on the mountain were warm.

At this time Anya also climbed up.

"The ground temperature here is a bit high." Tang Song reminded.

"Have we encountered a volcano?" Le Wenyao asked.

"There is no volcano here." Tang Song replied with certainty: "Just by looking at the color of this mountain, you can tell that the minerals here must be very rich. There should be lava pools at the foot of the mountain not far away. The sound just now may also be sudden. Geological changes have led to an increase in surface temperature and faster evaporation of rainwater, which is why the fog is so thick."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Le Wenyao responded.

Anya didn't speak, just looked up and said, "The commander seems to want us to go up."

The two nodded and continued to climb up the mountainside. The black, brown and white rocks had no rules at all, but this made it easier to climb up.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the fog gradually faded away, and the scenery in front of her eyes became clearer and clearer. There were springs around, and Le Wenyao said that she would see the hot springs in a while, and wanted to take a comfortable bath.

When the word 'hot spring' was mentioned, the two people behind them didn't respond, as if they had their own concerns.

It's just that the more we walked up the mountain, the sulfur smell that had just disappeared appeared again, and it became stronger and stronger.Unknowingly, the sky began to darken. Without counting how far they had traveled, the three of them struggled to reach the place where the commander stopped. Looking carefully, it was the edge of a crack.

Behind the commander, there was a deep pothole. Here, three people took out their flashlights and shone them.

saw...

Hundreds of desiccated corpses.
