Shui Mei Qin Yin

After the person who took care of Xuan Lin was settled, Xuan Zhen and his party arrived at the foot of Anling Mountain with their swords, and it was already sunset.

The village that Yun Tianqing mentioned was a village, but in fact there were no more than ten households in total, and they were sparsely located beside the yellow mud road at the foot of Anling Mountain. At first glance, there is a bit of leisurely scenery outside the world.

Xuan Zhen and the others had no intention of admiring the scenery, and looked around as soon as they landed, but they didn't find anything unusual.

Yun Tianqing was telling everyone about the news he had found a few days ago, "When I came that day, I accidentally heard that people in this village have been missing recently, and these missing people have all visited Senior Brother Xuanlin without exception. The place where he was attacked, he behaved insanely before he disappeared..."

As he said this, Changqin had already caught a snow-white rabbit with kicking legs from nowhere, and put the red thread left by Baimei on it.But as soon as the red thread attached to the rabbit's body, a small part got into the rabbit's flesh and blood, and the rest slowly swayed regularly.

The rabbit first kicked its legs around in pain, and after being put on the ground, it tried to run away as if nothing had happened. Then, after running a few steps, it started to twitch again, and red lines gradually began to appear in the white fur on its body.It kicked back and forth on the spot, tossing and tossing for a long time, until it kicked out a small hole in the ground, and then saw its eyes suddenly become redder, turned around and ran away.

"Follow." Changqin said so, Xuanzhen and the others had already rushed to catch up.

Changqin paused on the spot, then pulled Baimei and followed.

The rabbit turned around and turned around, and finally led everyone to a remote and quiet cave.Before everyone had time to observe the environment inside the cave, they saw the rabbit kicking its legs violently, and then died.After it died, its whole body was occupied by those swaying red threads. After its death, those red threads fell off in an instant, and it climbed onto the crimson stone in the corner like a snake.

At this moment, the rabbit on the ground has only a piece of broken skin left, and looking around, there are also a lot of rough kudzu linen clothes scattered around. Thinking of the scene they just saw, it is not difficult for everyone to guess the origin of these clothes.

Yun Tianqing took a few steps to the stone and greeted everyone, "Come and see!"

A group of people went up to take a look, and found that the stone was transparent, but because there were too many red lines entangled in it, it seemed to be crimson from a distance.

Changqin frowned and said: "It seems that the red threads from the creatures who have been poisoned by the demon have finally arrived here. But I don't know what the origin of this stone is..."

Just as he was talking, Bai Mei suddenly pulled him and said, "I remember."

"I don't know what Madam remembers?" Xuan Zhen who was on the side raised his eyebrows and asked, and the others all looked over after hearing the words.

Bai Mei frowned, staring fixedly at the strange stone, "Mr. Xuanlin may not have encountered a monster, but a person who was entangled by the red thread like him. A long time ago, I also met Been to this stone..."

How long ago it was, Baimei herself can't remember clearly, she only vaguely remembers that she hadn't even discovered the secret of her own immortality at that time, and was led by a man who claimed to be her master, wandering around the world.He pretended to take her to travel around the world and see the prosperity of the world, but in fact, the most fundamental reason was because the person he liked got married, but the groom was not him.

Of course, these are not the point. The point is that one day when he was traveling around the world, the master suddenly didn't know which sutra was wrong, and he wanted to dig someone's ancestral grave.Bai Mei couldn't stop him, so he could only follow him to dig someone's ancestral grave, and then dug out a stone that was exactly the same as the one in the cave now.

That night, the master went to study the stone all night. It was not until a few days later that he stepped out of the room with a tired expression, and returned the stone to its original position in the tomb in a hurry.

"At that time, I didn't know why. When I asked my master, he told me that the stone was used to guard the tomb. It carried the curse of the owner of the tomb before dying. Everyone who touched it would die. The only way to send it Returning to the original position is the only solution."

"So..." Yun Tianqing paused, before continuing to speak with difficulty: "If we want to solve this problem, we must send this stone back to its original place?"

Bai Mei looked at him and nodded slowly. "Other than that, there is no other way."

Of course there is no other way, they have never even heard of this stuff.

Changqin did remember some, but the images of the past flashed so fast in his mind that he couldn't clearly recall exactly when and where he had seen this thing.

Yun Tianqing scratched his head, and said distressedly: "We don't even know where this stone came from or how it came here, how can we send it back?"

"This is indeed a problem..." Xuan Zhen also looked embarrassed.

After saying this, he looked at Changqin again and asked, "Do you still have Doctor Fang's medicine?"

He naturally meant to see if he could get rid of the red thread in the stone, but in fact, the medicinal powder made by Changqin can turn the red thread in the human body into ashes, and it can also make some of the red thread exposed in the stone fall off by itself It was turned into ashes again, but the entangled red threads inside the stone could not come out by themselves.

For a while, everyone fell silent.

After a while, Baimei suggested, "Why don't you go to the village at the foot of the mountain and ask?"

Everyone had no better way for a while, so they nodded in agreement.

It was already dark when going down the mountain, Xuan Zhen and others collected all the clothes in the cave, and brought them to the village at the foot of the mountain to ask for someone to claim them.As they had guessed, these clothes belonged to those who disappeared.

Needless to say, the villagers cried bitterly when they learned that their relatives had been killed. When Xuanzhen and Changqin asked cryptically about the tomb, they really found some clues.

The person who spoke was an old man with white hair and white beard. It is said that he is the head of the village. I don’t know his name, but I personally lived to be 130 years old.He told everyone that there is an unnamed ancient tomb under the top of Anling Mountain.

"When I was young, I heard from my grandfather that I don't know who owns the tomb, but it has existed for many years. At the beginning, many people went to the tomb for the wealth in the tomb, but they were not inside. I found something and said it was an empty tomb. A month ago, a Taoist priest came to our village. He was born white and beautiful. He stayed with the old lady of our village for a few days, and then went up the mountain."

Speaking of this, the old village chief squinted his eyes and recalled carefully for a while, then sighed: "Since the Taoist priest went up the mountain that day, I have never seen him come down. However, maybe he left the other side. The way down the mountain. The children in the village also began to disappear one after another on the eighth day after the Taoist chief left. If you hadn’t come today, we would not have known that these children had... oh—”

Seeing tears in his eyes, Changqin persuaded him softly: "People cannot be resurrected after death, so the old man should take care of himself and take care of his body."

The old village chief wiped his eyes and said, "I made you laugh. It's getting late today, so you stay in the village. Let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to do."

As he said so, he called a half-sized boy to lead them to the vacant room.

On the way, the boy suddenly asked: "Do you want to find the ancient tomb? I can show you the way."

Xuan Zhen and the others were slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "Then thank you little brother."

The boy didn't say anything, but an inexplicable smile flashed in his lowered eyes.
