Death Spell

Chapter 20

There were no clothes on the corpses, and most of them were dismembered, and some were directly cut at the waist. The death was very tragic. The ferocious expression and empty eyes showed the reluctance of death.

This scene was shocking even for Tang and Song who had seen the dismemberment case.

Not to mention Le Wenyao, who almost threw up just by looking at it.

"Look what's that?" Anya, who had been silent all this time, focused the light on one point and said calmly.

Tang Song followed the spot of light and saw something that looked like a pennant.It's just that the pattern on it is very special. It is an eagle spreading its wings and holding a skull in its hand.

Le Wenyao waved her hand, indicating that she didn't want to take another look, she was about to die.

"How do I know what it is? Don't let me see, I haven't had lunch yet..."

"It's the family emblem of your Le clan." Anya said lightly.

Hearing the words, Tang and Song carefully looked at the family emblem, and then at the commander standing aside, they were indeed somewhat similar.

Even if she couldn't stand it any longer, Le Wenyao had to take a closer look when she heard this sentence. It was indeed similar to Le's family crest, except that the eagle claws were not grabbing skeletons but models of Le's architectural landmarks.

The eagle is their patron saint of Leshi, and also a symbol.I heard from my grandfather that if the ancestors did not have eagles, they would have been exterminated long ago.

It's just that when I was young, I didn't understand why the family would be exterminated if I did a good job in business. Now that I think about it, I understand a little bit.

"Then they...are..."

"This is not from your Le family, he should have been killed by Le family, your ancestors." Anya said lightly.

Le Wenyao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she was not from her family. After all, the scary scene in front of her could never be associated with someone from the Le family.

But the question came up again: "Since it's not from our Le family, then who is the monster with such a hideous appearance who died here?"

Le Wenyao had already shifted her gaze to the other side, so she didn't pay attention. When she finished saying this, Anya's expression turned cold for a moment.

But this moment was captured by Tang Song.

"Monster?" Anya turned off the flashlight, held the gourd in her hand, and said calmly: "To be precise, it's a monster, that's right."

"No, you see, they have been dead for so long without turning into bones. What is it if they are not monsters? But... if they were killed by our Le Shi, it would be pitiful enough. If they are killed, they will be killed. Why do they have to be dismembered?" Le Wenyao braced her back, breathed a sigh of relief, and said inexplicably.

"If you don't dismember, you will be reborn when you encounter blood." Anya said these eight words very flatly.

Tang Song listened to it, recalling a piece of unofficial history that his parents inadvertently mentioned, and it was just a story at that time.Now, for some reason, this story flashed in my mind.

"I remember that my parents once chatted about a piece of unofficial history during dinner. It was about Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty who reigned for three years and personally conquered Taiyuan to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty. Repeated failures... The external propaganda is because the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are easy to defend and difficult to attack. In fact, this is not the case, but a team of dead soldiers, less than a hundred people, wiped out the 3 Qianfeng camp of Song Taizong in one night. Juhui reported the Qianfeng camp The death was tragic...the most important thing is that there is no blood on everyone."

"What! A vampire war?" Le Wenyao finished speaking, looked at Tang Song with admiration and said, "As expected of a forensic scientist, he can talk about such a serious topic during dinner."

Tang Song: "..."

Anya looked up at Tang Song, with a smile on her lips, and said, "This is not unofficial history. It's not the vampire Wen Yao mentioned, but a zombie."

"Zombie?" They all said in unison.

Le Wenyao got goose bumps hearing these two words.After watching too many foreign movies, vampires are another race she can accept.And in the dark pit behind him, lay nearly a hundred corpses of zombies, all of them were so hideous, just thinking about it made me feel creepy.

"But this place does not belong to the scope of Yanyun sixteen prefectures." Tang Song emphasized.

Le Wenyao didn't understand. If it was at that time, he had been dead for a long time, and he followed Tang and Song's words and asked: "If the people here have been dead for thousands of years, how can our family's flag still be..."

"Don't forget what you Lejia do. There are so many rare treasures in the world, and tomb robbers often encounter corpses. Naturally, your Lejia will have a way to deal with such zombies." As she spoke, Anya's eyes fell on the pothole Li, said lightly: "It is true that this is not Yanyun Sixteen States, but it has been a long time since I met Le Shi. I just pity these people. They can't die or live. They move when they hear the bell. Like ordinary people, it doesn't hurt or itch, it is the best murder weapon."

Regarding what Anya said, Tang Song couldn't believe it, but if what he saw was not the truth, how could he explain that the epidermis was dry but not rotten, especially the fat on the surface.

Rebirth after encountering blood?

Thinking about it makes me shudder.

"Witch, how do you know so much?" Le Wenyao asked casually. Since the problem was solved, it was the scene of the murder a thousand years ago, so it had nothing to do with them, and she pretended to go home.

Anya stood where she was, sighed softly, stuffed the jade gourd into her pocket, and responded: "I only know that there was a mysterious race called the 'Kechaka' thousands of years ago, who were immortal and could eat human blood and flesh. The last The fate is to be besieged and killed by an ethnic group, and seal it up forever. As for where it is sealed and where it exists, it has become a mystery. Presumably these are the things in front of us."

"Zombies can also live forever?" Although Le Wenyao asked, recalling those hideous faces, even if they got immortality, she wouldn't do it!

"Not only will you not grow old and die."

"Then how did they become like this?" Tang Song also asked curiously, although she felt that these might be myths or legends.

I didn't expect the two people in front of me to be interested in these things, especially Tang and Song, would they really believe it?

"The earliest zombie was Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's daughter——湿(hàn)魃(bá), and later because Chi(chi)you(you) cast a curse, so she became a zombie. Originally, zombies don't need to suck human blood, because There is too little aura in the world, and people are the spirits of all things, so they have to suck blood. It’s just that the zombie itself is the source of the curse, and the person who is sucked will also be reincarnated with the curse, and will never be reborn. But... If it is such a long life, It's better not to." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Le Wenyao's white hair, and finally there was a trace of pity between his brows.

Or maybe this is fate... guiding her here.

"Since we have discovered this, let's call the police first!" After all, Tang Song is a forensic doctor. When encountering such a thing, even if it involves history or some myth, she can't just leave.

"Don't call the police." Anya said calmly, "If you call the police, it will not only cause panic, but the three of us will also be implicated innocently and imprisoned."

Seeing that Tang and Song were puzzled, Anya said again: "Especially for Wen Yao, just this family emblem will involve the entire Le family."

Hearing this, Tang Song also hesitated.

Le Wenyao didn't know what would happen, but she didn't like to meddle in other people's business by nature, so she shook her head thinking about dealing with those unfamiliar faces: "Then let's go, it's getting dark."

"Go?" Anya shook her head and said lightly, "You can't just leave like this."

"It's not right to leave, it's not right to stay, and it's not right to call the police..." Le Wenyao couldn't understand the sorceress more and more.

"I'm going to give them a ride, you wait for me below."

Without waiting for the two behind him to respond, Anya jumped into the pothole, her figure plunged into darkness.

"Hey, witch! You..."

Le Wenyao wished he could pull her up, but when he thought of what was inside... he could only stomp his feet angrily, put his hands on his chest, raised his chin, and let out a heavy breath through his nose.

This kind of Le Wenyao seemed a bit ridiculous to Tang and Song, but she was more worried about Anya who was in the dark over there. Why has she been so preoccupied since she came here?

Anya stood on the edge of the pothole, turned on the flashlight, and scanned a few cans of things hanging above the pothole, which should be oil, and there were mechanism ropes beside it.Presumably at that time, Leshi wanted to kill these zombies and wanted to set fire to this place.But he didn't know what terrible thing happened, so he ran away and left the clan emblem behind.

He took out a talisman from his body, clasped his hands together, murmured something, and finally said: "This is the only thing I can do, dissipate, sinful soul."

As the words fell, the talisman paper in her hand suddenly ignited from the bottom, and An Ya then threw the talisman paper and it floated into the jar, and the light of the flame instantly lit up the dark pothole.

And Anya's figure was also reflected in it.

From Tang Song's point of view, in this terrifying background picture, Anya's slender back just occupied her entire line of sight, and she only felt that this back had a sense of powerlessness and desolation.

Anya moved the mechanism at the entrance of the cave, turned around and quickly climbed up the rock wall, but there was already a burning sensation and an unpleasant smell behind her.

The moment she turned around, Anya frowned and covered her left eye with her hand, as if she saw those painful faces struggling and howling in the fire.

"Are you... all right?" Tang Song stepped forward and asked with concern.

Anya regained her composure, looked at Tang Song and shook her head, the corners of her mouth pursed: "I'm fine, I can't smell this smell for too long, let's go."

Looking at this face, Tang Song was stunned. In Anya's right eye, he saw not only red flames, but also blue...

"Hurry up, Miss Ben doesn't want to stay any longer, this smell is really bad." Saying hello, she and the commander had already taken a step ahead.

……

It was almost midnight when the three of them returned to the tent. Seeing that Tang Song was a little tired, Anya asked her to lie down for a while, and called her after cooking.

I didn't want to hold back, but Tang Song, who was really overwhelmed, could only nod and go to rest in the tent first.

Le Wenyao went back to the tent and changed her clothes. She even put on a mask and poked her head out. She saw that Anya was lighting a fire with those dry sticks, and those things beside her...

It seems that those experiences just now have come to an end, and passed away...

"Witch, you obviously have something to eat here, and you still want my commander to find it?"

"Hush..." Anya turned around and made a silent gesture, tilted her head towards Tang Song's tent, and said softly, "Of course I want to eat some wild game when I go outside, but there's nothing to eat here, so I just make a living. "

Le Wenyao nodded understandingly, and said softly, "I still have cans here, I'll give you one can and I'll give it to the commander." He took out the cans and handed them to Anya.

Anya took the can and smiled: "You and the commander eat a kind of can?"

Le Wenyao blinked and responded, "What's the problem?"

"It's very good. The commander likes to eat. It must taste good." While talking, he hung the pot on the campfire with an iron frame, unscrewed the mineral water and poured it in.

Le Wenyao thought it was weird, why did she praise the commander when she chose the canned food?

"Actually, you didn't intend to stay here any longer, did you?" Anya asked as she closed the lid and waited for the water to boil.

Le Wenyao sat cross-legged in the tent, raised her eyebrows and asked, "How do you know?"

"It seems that you don't bring much. But I have done a fortune-telling. If I don't come to look for you, you will not return to Le's in three months. Where do you want to go?" Anya sat on the stone steps and raised her eyebrows. To Le Wenyao.

I don't know if it's because of Anya's serious tone or the content of this topic, Le Wenyao's eyes showed a trace of seriousness, the topic stopped for a long time, and then a refreshing voice sounded: "...I want to find my parents."

Anya seemed to have guessed the answer, but she was a little surprised by her straightforward response.Anya knew why Le Wenyao's parents disappeared, but Le Wenyao had been kept in the dark...it wasn't until she learned the family secret that she suddenly understood.

"You haven't been to the Sutra Pavilion before, how can you find them?" Anya said.

"I always thought that my parents were kidnapped or murdered by someone, that's why they were so mysterious to me. It wasn't until... I was 25 years old that Yan Su told me the family secret that my grandfather had been hiding. I really couldn't accept it at that time..." Le Wenyao He said with a sigh.

Anya nodded, indicating that she understood.

"I was in a daze in other places a few days ago, and I realized that my parents were not killed by someone, but that they were not decapitated when they went to the tomb, so grandpa never told me. After so many years, now that I know This secret, the first thing I want to do is to get them back, even if it's... corpses." Le Wenyao frowned slightly as she said this, which was rare in Anya's opinion.

Sure enough, she has grown up, and she is no longer the willful and bad-tempered young lady of previous years.

"I just remember that my parents said about City X before they left. Although I don't understand these things, I also know those people. They definitely like to build their tombs in places with mountains and rivers, so..." Le Wenyao took off the mask, He patted his face with his hands, raised his eyebrows and looked around.

Anya looked up at the gorgeous starry sky, got up and cooked noodles and replied: "I think the direction you are looking for is correct, but it should not be here. When you go back, you take something they used, and I will make a divination." Know."

"Okay." Le Wenyao felt a lot more relaxed after hearing what Anya said.Looking carefully at the mysterious woman that even my grandfather respected, I asked with my chin in my hand, "Witch, you came to me not just to ask me to pay you back, did you?"

Anya, who ordered the noodles and seasonings, turned her head to look at the pulled up tent, and her eyes fell on Le Wenyao's half-smile face, and it was obvious that the girl knew it well.

"Yes, because I... am about to be robbed."
