I waited in the dark for a long time, not even daring to breathe, but after that sigh, there was no movement, and the old bastard didn't show up. I turned around curiously in the dark, wondering if the old bastard had changed his nature and didn't even attack me, his enemy
"Let's go over and take a look." Shen Bing said.
"It's better to be cautious and wait and see."
"I find that you are becoming more and more timid."
My face flushed. How could I not be timid in front of a strong man like Lao Zasui? But I cannot tolerate such insults in front of a woman, especially my girlfriend. I pulled her forward, thinking that since my buddies were exposed to Lao Zasui, there was no point in hiding here.
I simply turned on the flashlight and shone it around. It seemed to be a natural cave. There were sharp rocks and stone flowers everywhere on the ground. There was no trace of human intervention. I walked forward for more than 20 meters and found a huge flat land in front of me. It was artificially excavated. There was a huge Bagua pattern painted on the ground. There was a lamp slave in each of the four directions outside the pattern.
I walked to the lamp slave on the left front. There was lamp oil in the lamp tray. I took out a yellow talisman and chanted a spell to light the wick. As the light gradually grew stronger, the cave became bright. I turned off the flashlight and looked at the Bagua pattern. I saw a circle of skeletons sitting cross-legged in the pattern, leaning against each other, dead but not falling! After counting, there were exactly twelve. Damn, could these be the real bodies of the twelve beautiful girls in palace costumes
Turning back to look, there is an incense table placed in front of the cave wall, and a portrait of the Three Mao Patriarch is hung on the stone wall. The incense fruit on the table has rotted, the incense burner is full of incense ash, and the fire basin in front of the table is also full of paper ash. It seems that a Taoist priest lived here before, or maybe a Taoist nun. The clothes on these skeletons have rotted into pieces and fallen to the ground. They must be quite old.
It was not certain whether this was the old bastard's doghouse. If it was, he should not have been so patient and should have taken action earlier. I vaguely felt that he was not here.
Shen Bing let go of my hand, bravely walked up to the skeleton, and suddenly shouted: "Come and see, come and see!" as if she had made some important discovery.
I walked up to her and followed her finger, and saw among the broken pieces of clothing several silk handkerchiefs that were exactly the same as the ones in the golden box!
My heart was shocked and I bent down to pick up a piece and took a closer look. Yes, they were exactly the same!
I looked down again and found silk handkerchiefs in front of every skeleton. After picking up eleven pieces, I found that there was only one skeleton without one, so I burned one. I suddenly figured out one thing. The origin of the ghost nails was here. Someone took the ghost nails from here and took away a piece of silk handkerchief. Could it be that this girl in palace dress is the goddess? "
Thinking of this, my heart started pounding. This was one of the three major taboos. Could it be that I had cracked the secret today? But I was a little worried. Seeing how nervous the dead rat, the old ancestor, and the seven or eight masters were, this kind of secret could not be known casually. It was like a sky lantern shining on the heart. If I knew it, I would be punished by heaven.
Should I continue to look for clues or give up? After thinking about it, I always felt uneasy. I would feel uncomfortable if I didn't figure out what was going on. So I stretched my neck to look at the skulls. There was a silver needle pierced on each skull. There was still black fiber on the end of the silver needle. Looking at the feet, there should be a red rope tied there before. This is probably the soul-controlling technique.
