treacherous world

Pang Yu and Bao Yan took the shovel and looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang bitterly, as if asking——Let them dig?

Zhan Zhao smiled and nodded, "Let's start with Fifth Sister's grave!"

"Brother Zhan, it's not good..." Bao Yan looked at Zhan Zhao with a shovel in his hand.

"That's right, digging graves is too immoral!" Pang Yu also nodded.

"Let's dig." Zhan Zhao still smiled, "It's okay."

Pang Yu and Bao Yan looked at each other, Bai Yutang went to check around the village, Zhan Zhao stood in front of the mass grave, looking around.

Pang Yu and Bao Yan swallowed, tremblingly climbed up the mass grave with a shovel, and began to dig Wumei's grave.

After digging a few shovels, Pang Yu whispered to Bao Yan, "Oh, little mantou!"

Bao Yan glared at him, "How dare you call me Little Mantou!"

"Why do you let the people of Kaifeng Mansion order you around?" Pang Yu pouted, "Go back and complain to your father! Let him hit the Zhan Zhao board."

"Bah!" Bao Yan gave Pang Yu a hard look, "You treat me as your father! If I go back and complain like this, I will be the one who will be punished!"

"Oh?" Pang Yu opened his eyes wide, "You really are not your own!"

"oops!"

Zhan Zhao was looking down at the house number, and heard the excitement behind him... Looking back, he saw Bao Yan holding up a shovel, chasing and beating Pang Yu.

At this time, Bai Yutang came back and showed Zhan Zhao something, "There are many houses like this on the nearby houses."

Zhan Zhao took it over and saw it was a silver hook.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu chased and fought for a while, and finally went back to dig the grave, but after digging for a long time, there was nothing.

"Oh, I said mass burials, aren't they all used for mass burials? There are many corpses that are just thrown away without being filled with soil. Why is this buried so deep?" Pang Yu's arms were sore.

Bao Yan is a nerd, and he has never done strenuous work, "That's right, it's time to dig the coffin boards anyway."

The two continued digging for a while, Pang Yu threw away the shovel, sat down on the mass grave, and shouted to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Stop digging, it's almost thrown to the ground, and there are no corpses." !"

Bao Yan also sensed that something was wrong at this time, "Yeah, it's so strange, it's an empty grave!"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao went to the mass grave and looked into the dug-up grave of Fifth Younger Sister. As expected, there was nothing there.

Then, taking advantage of the darkness, Pang Yu and Bao Yan dug up the other four tombs under the instigation of Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, but there was no one in the tombs, no coffin corpses at all!

"This is evil!" Pang Yu was so tired that he lay on the ground and couldn't lift his arms. He looked at the crowd incomprehensibly, "Why are there only five empty graves?"

"Empty tombs have no reason to be haunted." Bai Yutang said calmly, looked around... Finally, his eyes fell on the forest where the female ghost first appeared in the distance.

Zhan Zhao also looked there.

"Hey... what do you two want to do?" Pang Yu asked in fear, "No, what if you get lost?"

Just as he was talking, suddenly, he saw two faint blue lights lit up in the woods.

"Ghost... ghost fire!" Pang Yu called out.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang chased after him.

"You don't need to be so excited to see the will-o'-the-wisp, do you?!" Pang Yu was in a hurry, and Bao Yan also threw the shovel and chased after him.Pang Yu had no choice but to keep up, muttering in his mouth——Mistake, if I knew I was scared to death here, it would be better to suffocate to death in Kaifeng Mansion!

After Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao chased into the forest, they saw the will-o'-the-wisp move forward again.

The two followed along, bypassing the dense forest, and Pang Yu and Bao Yan trotted along, exerting all their energy, and they couldn't be left behind here.

Finally, the will-o'-the-wisp disappeared on the edge of a cliff.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood in front of the cliff, looked up, and saw that the cliff was very high, surrounded by dense vines.

Bai Yutang took out the fire booklet, wanting to see it more clearly, but the fire booklet flourished before he played it.Slightly frowning, Bai Yutang walked forward holding his bag, and winked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao used the giant que to pick away a large pile of vines covering the cliff, and found that there was a dark Shandong behind.

"Be careful!" Pang Yu whispered, "Don't be a tiger's cave or a bear's cave!"

Bao Yan rolled his eyes aside, "The bear went in and hid, and covered the hole with vines? How can there be such a smart bear?"

Pang Yu thought to himself, why do you look like your father, when you see someone surnamed Pang, you are so irritable as if you have been beaten with chicken blood!He leaned forward and asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "What's in the cave?"

But at this moment, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood at the entrance of the cave with frowning eyebrows, looking into the cave.

With the light of the fire, Pang Yu and Bao Yan also looked in, and saw that the cave was covered with bones.

This is not the bones that would be found in a tiger's cave and a lion's cave, but a mass burial cave!The corpse was thrown here, because of the cover of thick bushes and the rumors of haunting in this area, no one dared to enter.After a few years, it became such a pile of bones.

"That will-o'-the-wisp, did you bring us here?" Bao Yan knelt down, took out his own torch, and reached into the hole to light it up. He saw that it was full of human bones, big and small, that is, even the small ones. The child died in it too.

Bai Yutang went to pick up a skull, looked at the section connecting the neck, and said to Zhan Zhao, "It was beheaded!"

"Wow, who is so cruel!" Pang Yu touched his neck, and then had an idea, "Oh? In other words, those villagers didn't disappear overnight, but were killed and left here?"

Zhan Zhao looked at the cave and shook his head, "This hole was dug by hand! It couldn't be dug out in one night. It took a long time. The villagers probably dug it themselves."

"These villagers may have some history." Bai Yutang said, picked up a few bones and showed them to Zhan Zhao.

After Zhan Zhao connected the bone, he saw that it was estimated to be the bone on the wrist according to its thickness, and there were vaguely engraved characters or patterns on the bone, which was not very clear.

"How did you get it up?" Bao Yan didn't understand.

"Oh!" Pang Yu nodded, "It must be a tattoo!"

"Yes." Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, "If a person is very thin, with thin skin and thin wrists... when assassinating Qin, it is very likely that the bone will be stabbed and the color will be left on the bone, leaving this kind of mark .”

"There are also on the walls." Bai Yutang found a bunch of dead branches, trapped them with vines, and put some dead grass on them, made a torch, lit it, and walked in to have a closer look.

I saw some murals made of ochre-colored blocks on the wall.

"Cat." Bai Yutang waved to Zhan Zhao, motioning him to come and see.

When Zhan Zhao walked in, he saw that there were many patterns painted on the murals, and the theme was very strange - a large group of cranes were flying, and the tails of the cranes all had peacock feathers, the shape was exactly the same as that of gilt crane feathers, and they were still flying in the clouds .

However, behind him, a large number of strange birds were chasing, and all the cranes that were chased were pecked off by the strange birds.And that strange bird is the bird on the sign hanging on the house in the village.

"Did you draw it before you died?" Pang Yu asked.

"It's too delicate, it doesn't look like it!" Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and touched it. "Maybe, this is some kind of prophecy or fate. The people in the village knew that they were being hunted and killed a long time ago, so they escaped from the world here. But the people who hunted them were still They came. They hid in caves, but they were found at last, and they were slaughtered."

"You mean, Liu Heling is the original villagers of Shanyin Village, and those strange birds are the people who hunted them down?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "It's an ancient relic of the Tang Dynasty, maybe it has something to do with something in the previous dynasty? Isn't that hundreds of years already!"

Bai Yutang stood up, nodded slightly, and asked Bao Yan to draw the picture.

Bao Yan said, "I know how to draw, but I don't bring a pen and paper."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other and waved to Pang Yu.

Pang Yu knew that something was wrong, so he walked over to the two of them.

Zhan Zhao lifted Pang Yu's clothes, turned them over, and let him wear them by himself.

Bai Yutang picked up a stick from anywhere, burned it on the fire, left a piece of charcoal after the fire was extinguished, and handed it to Bao Yan for him to draw.

Bao Yan cheerfully picked up the charcoal, and began to draw on the white silk lining Pang Yu's hem.

Pang Yu wants to cry but has no tears, such a good Yunjin Lizi!One tael of silver is one foot.

Afterwards, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao continued to squat down to look at the bones.

Seeing Bao Yanhua's seriousness, Pang Yu asked him in a low voice, "Hey, when you become an official, you want to be like your father, studying dead people all day long?"

Bao Yan rolled his eyes at him, "My father is Bao Qingtian who works for the country and the people, I can't compare to him! But, it's very interesting to solve the case, but it's a pity that I can't use my brain."

Pang Yu smiled, "I also think it's fun to solve the case." Then he looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who were studying a bone.

"Oh, these two people always feel that other people don't exist." Pang Yu wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction, "No matter how many people there are, Bai Yutang only looks at Zhan Zhao when he speaks, and doesn't look at others!"

Bao Yan pouted, "He sees you, can you handle it? But when I saw him for the first time, I didn't think he could be friends with Big Brother Zhan. He's so evil!"

Pang Yu also nodded, and Bai Yutang suddenly raised his head and said to Pang Yu whose back was facing the entrance of the cave, "There is someone behind you."

Pang Yu was taken aback for a moment, his heart jumped into his throat, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Finally, he realized that Bai Yutang probably knew that he was speaking ill of him to scare people.He was just about to puff his chest out and say that Bai Yutang was not kind, but before he could say anything, he felt a heavy slap on the shoulder.

"Mother!"

Pang Yu howled "Aww", but he heard a familiar voice, "Hey, what are you shouting? Is there someone without telling you?"

Pang Yu was taken aback for a moment, the voice sounded familiar, and he heard two squeaks.

After recovering for a long time, I looked back and saw Zhe Ying and Zi Ying with scissors.

Zhe Ying stood behind holding a lantern, Zi Ying hugged him like a koala and hid behind his back, greeting everyone, Scissors yawned, and sat at the entrance of the cave to lick his fur.

"I've been looking for you for a long time." Zhe Ying said helplessly.

"Why are you here?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Oh, the marshal saw that you hadn't gone back after dark, and he was afraid that something might happen to you, so he asked us to take a look! Fortunately, the scissors smelled, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find them." Zhe Ying replied, and said to Zi Ying behind, "Oh, relax, everyone is here."

Ziying relaxed a little, and asked, "Oh, I just saw that several graves have been dug up, who the hell is so wicked? Beware of God's punishment!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang pointed at Pang Yu and Bao Yan at the same time, "Both of them."

Pang Yu and Bao Yan opened their mouths wide, they were tricked!

Ziying hid behind Zheying with a look of disgust, and waved to the two of them, "Hey, come close to me, go back and wash the grapefruit leaves, and go to the temple for three days before coming out. That's right! It's better to find Xuan Bei again The abbot cleans up for you!"

"Cough cough." Zhe Ying looked at Zi Ying dumbfounded, "I have to go to Chen Banban to purify myself. Abbot Xuan Bei won't do this job."

Pang Yu and Bao Yan had pale faces, while Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang laughed unkindly at them.Pang Yu frowned and stared at Bao Yan - why are you people in Kaifeng Mansion like this!

Bao Yan was also helpless - how could Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang be so bullying?

At this time, the torch in Bai Yutang's hand moved slightly.

Everyone looked back, it seemed that there was a wind blowing out of the hole.

Bai Yutang walked in with a torch, followed by everyone behind him.

Bai Yutang walked in front and saw that the hole was very deep, so the scissors creaked to the front to lead the way, and he liked drilling holes the most.

The hole became wider and wider, and finally entered a more familiar tunnel. There were mice running around, and half of it was a water channel, and the smell was not very pleasant.

"This is an underground flood diversion canal!" Zhe Ying frowned, "There are such sewer canals all over Kaifeng, most of which were built during the Tang Dynasty, mainly to avoid water accumulation."

Everyone kept walking inside for an unknown how long. At this moment, the scissors were on a step, sniffing at it, as if they had discovered something.

Bai Yutang walked up to it and raised his face, and saw the starry sky above...it turned out to be the exit.

When he jumped up, he saw that it was still a dry well.The surrounding buildings are indescribably familiar - they have already arrived in Kaifeng City!

"Impossible!" Zhan Zhao also followed, and shouted impossible when he saw it, "It took us nearly an hour to ride horses from Kaifeng to the village, and it is impossible to walk back in such a short time!"

"It's also possible!" Zhe and Ziying also walked up with Bao Yan and Pang Yu on their backs, "After leaving Kaifeng City, you have to go around a mountain to get to this village. This cave may pass directly under the mountain!"

"Squeak!"

At this time, the scissors screamed anxiously from below. It turned out that it was too fat to get out of the hole, so anxious that he wanted to dig a hole!

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were afraid that it would damage the mouth of the well, and the horse was still in the village, so they returned to the well.

The crowd returned to the mass burial cave along the original road. When they came out, they saw the moon and the stars, and three horses and a little donkey were grazing outside the woods with their heads down. Seeing the owner coming back, they swung their tails and snorted. .

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "What are you going to do next?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, and got on his horse, "Go back and talk to Mr. Bao about the situation, and then we'll see how to go next!"

Everyone agreed, and they drove all night to return to Kaifeng Mansion.

After everyone had left, in the pitch-black forest, a few people appeared quietly from the darkness, looking at the official road in the distance.

"That's him, sister?"

"Well! It's him."

"It's so beautiful."

"Yes."

"Does he remember you?"

"Can't remember...but he hasn't changed at all."

"Sure enough, there are still good people in the world?"

"Yes, one or two."

"Hey, let them find out, what should we do for revenge?"

"It doesn't matter, proceed according to the plan! Zhao Zhen has already entered the set."

"Everyone in the Zhao family dynasty must pay in blood!"

"Yes!"

"Correct!"
