Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 703
Anhui is cold in winter, we went to the field, bought some things, and headed towards the short cattle ditch.It's freezing cold, and it's really not a comfortable thing to travel outside against the cold wind. Fortunately, except for Chen Tiande, Lazy and I have been running outside all year round. We haven't experienced any bad weather, so we don't think it's hard , but Chen Tiande couldn't bear it.I bought a coat temporarily and wrapped myself up like a bear. I have some doubts, with his current appearance, once he really gets to the place, will he be able to come in handy.

The car drove all the way, and took us to the Yaji team closest to Ainiugou. This place belongs to the countryside. There are about a hundred people in the subordinate team, and they are far away from each other, so it seems sparsely populated.We entered the team early in the morning and found a nearest fellow to inquire about the route of the dwarf ditch.

The fellow got up very early, carrying a basket of pigweed to feed pigs on his back.As soon as we asked about the dwarf ditch, his expression changed, and he said, "That place is haunted, why do you ask about it?"

I said: "It's nothing, we also heard that there are ghosts there, and we are curious, just ask, come, you smoke." I handed him a cigarette, and he naturally couldn't take the cigarette and leave, so he put down the basket Take a break, smoke while chatting with us about the situation in the area around the dwarf ditch.

The scope of the dwarf ditch actually belonged to this team. There used to be two families there, but for some reason, it gradually began to be haunted. , can smell a burst of stench, like the smell of many corpses rotting together.

The people in the team also went to see Mr. Yin Yang, and there were two kinds of results. One was that they hired a liar and cheated them of money, which was useless.One is to find some gentlemen with real talents and knowledge. When these gentlemen went to the ground to see it, they shook their heads and said that they could not cure it. This place has been taken over by an evil spirit. The two families who lived near each other moved, and then they left without taking any money.

The people in the team are all rural people, and their ancestors have built their businesses here for generations. How can it be so easy to move?

Therefore, this matter was put on hold, and who would have thought that Mr. Yin Yang's words came true later, people in the two families died successively one after another, and the young descendants did not dare to live anymore, so they left the land and their ancestral property to go to the village. I went to work in the south and never came back.

The fellow smashed a cigarette and said: "I don't want to scare you, old man, I am over 50 this year, and this is what happened in the past 20 years. I have seen it all with my own eyes. I definitely didn't just listen to nonsense and come to fool you. Young people You are courageous and curious, just listen to it, don’t provoke me.” I quickly nodded and said yes, and after the old man left, the three of them carried their things on their backs and headed towards the dwarf ditch he pointed to.

Xiao Jing said that Lu Su protected that place very closely, and he didn't believe anyone. He almost only believed in the dead, so there was no one guarding that area, and strange things wandered around, so we don't need to avoid it this time. people.And the lazy guy next to me seems to be not bad at catching ghosts. The way he dealt with little ghosts before is still fresh in my memory.As for Chen Tiande, he is an expert among them.

The three of us got together, and wondered if we could meet this place that made Lu Su very vigilant.

Braving the cold wind and morning fog, we headed all the way to the short cow ditch.Ainiugou is a large ravine between two low mountains, shaped like a calf, hence the name Ainiugou.When we went up to the top of the mountain and looked at the valley, we could only see a burst of cold fog, but the appearance in the valley was blurred.

The three of them kept on going, their bodies were hot, but they didn't feel cold. At noon, they entered the short cow ditch.Because it is winter, the trees in the ditch are all bare, and there are no animals to be seen. In addition, the cold fog persists, and the sun is also covered by clouds today, so the ditch looks a bit gloomy.

As soon as he entered the ditch, Chen Tiande said, "It's very dark." He looked around, and seemed to be able to see something that we couldn't see.Immediately afterwards, there was no need for us to find the way, he released the spiritual pet in his pocket, touched the little thing's neck, the puppy barked, and galloped on four legs, leading the way.

The more we went forward, the more excited this puppy was, and then, a chill swept over us.This kind of coldness is not the coldness of the cold wind, but a kind of coldness that cannot be blocked by clothes. I am very familiar with this feeling, it is Yin Qi.

The yin energy that even ordinary people like me can feel must be very heavy, and I guess [-]% of it is going to be somewhere.

Sure enough, the little black dog slowed down, and in the thick mist, he saw a house with earthen walls.

The house is similar to most ordinary houses in the countryside. At a glance, you can see the main room on the opposite side, with a locked wooden door, a stove room next to it, and pig and cow sheds at the back. The house is a yellow mud room. In the early years, most of the rural areas were already brick houses. The yellow mud houses like this one from last year were only lived in by poor families.

It seems that this place has been decayed and uninhabited for a long time, but the modern lock on the door tells us that people should come here often.

The lock was a symbolic ordinary lock, and I broke it open within two strokes. I pushed open the wooden door, and inside was an ordinary farmhouse full of dust, but the little black dog was leading the door. Then we entered the bedroom and yelled under the bed in the bedroom.

There was a large board under the bed, on which a urinal rested.Even if a thief came in, he probably wouldn't be interested in the urinal under the bed. Judging by the little black dog's reaction, there must be something hidden under the board.

We immediately removed the urinal and the board. Sure enough, there was a locked iron fence on the board. It was dark under the fence. When the light was turned on, a wooden staircase could be seen leading down.

It looks like there's a basement down here.

Chen Tiande sniffled and said, "It smells." Actually, I didn't smell any special smell, so I asked, "What kind of smell?"

Chen Tiande didn't even look at me, and said, "It smells like death." Immediately afterwards, he motioned for me to break down the iron fence, looking a little eager to try.The locks are just a symbolic thing, and Lu Su probably didn't expect these locks to work. The really powerful things should be below.

After the fence was broken, the little black dog got down first and disappeared into the darkness, followed by Chen Tiande, and I walked second, the lazy guy suddenly reached out his hand to stop me, and then he took his hand from before. The string of blue dzi beads from the corpse tower was handed over to me, and I was motioned to put it on.

I was quite surprised, but also grateful in my heart, nodded to him, and put the string of things on my hand.

The wooden stairs are very firm and there is no sound when stepping on them. The three of us went down to the basement in a dead silence.

This basement is not big. Once you look at it, you can see that there are four large shelves on the four sides of the wall. There are brown clay pots on the shelves. They are all about the same size and have exactly the same appearance. They are a bit like pickle jars. I don’t know. What is it for.Of course, I don't think that Lu Su pickled pickles in it, and the ones in that jar are probably not good things.

Almost immediately, the little black dog started barking wildly, barking at a place, and rushed over quickly, as if trying to bite something, but there was nothing there.

Is it a ghost bite?
I was fully alert and looked around for a few times. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw this faint blue human head on one of the shelves, staring at us from the rear right.I was startled and turned around suddenly, but the head disappeared, as if it was my hallucination. The place where the head was before was surprisingly in the middle of two clay pots. Nothing.

Seeing my reaction, Chen Tiande pointed to the nearest earthenware pot inside and said, "Smash it, let's see what's inside."

The situation in this place is beyond my 'professional scope', so at this moment, I can only listen to the expert Chen Tiande, pick up the clay pot, and smash it on the ground.

"boom!"

Accompanied by the shattering of the clay pot, a burst of white ash rose up, causing the three of us to retreat quickly, flapping our noses to hide.Looking at the rising white ash, I saw a round object wrapped in the ash.

Although the surface of the thing was covered with white ash, the outline was clear, and it was clearly a human head.

I couldn't help but hiss... Could it be that these jars are filled with human heads?
So the blue human head I saw just now, could it be the ghost here?

At this moment, the little black dog is jumping around and barking, is it also biting those people's heads?

I just can't see it at the moment, but when I think of the scene where I am being stared at by countless heads, I feel chills all over my body.

Taking a closer look, judging from the size of the head, it is likely to be a child's head.

Chen Tiande snorted, and said: "It's really cruel, it took ninety-nine and eighty-one children to make this soul-locking array."

"Soul-locking array?" When I heard Jiujiu 81 children, I was already horrified. I knew that Lu Su was wearing a gentle and polite mask, and I also knew that he was cruel and ruthless under the mask, but I never imagined it. However, he can do such a thing.

In this world, there are too many people who disappear every day, and a large proportion of people who disappear can never be found, so I don't wonder how he got 81 children, something I can't imagine , Lu Su is really capable of such a ruthless hand.

Chen Tiande said: "This array is extremely sinister, each jar is a ghost, they can only stay in this secret room during the day, once outsiders enter, they will kill them immediately. At night, the Yin Qi When they are victorious, they are also at their strongest, so they can wander outside..."

Wandering outside?

So if someone breaks into this place at night, wouldn't it be...

I thought of the scene where a lot of heads were flying in the woods in the middle of the night.
