PS: I'm going to the homepage now. Please support me!
"Oh, it's Jue Xiao. Is this the boyfriend you mentioned in the city?"
There is a basket on the opposite side. He is about 40 years old. As soon as he looks, he knows that she is the kind of country woman who likes to be a matchmaker. She comes face with a smile on her face.
Meng Juexiao put one arm around Nie Pan's arm. This was the first time she had close contact with a strange man of the opposite sex. At this moment, a heart couldn't help fluttering, and her pretty face was slightly red. However, I remembered that a few days ago, in order to be afraid of rejecting her marriage, the "fifth aunt" said behind her back that her eyes were higher than the top. The middle-aged women in the countryside were the most difficult to provoke. The long-tongued woman was talking about them. Therefore, Meng Juexiao refused to say that he already had a boyfriend. At this time, he suddenly met this matchmaker halfway. Meng Juexiao was in a hurry. Zhi decided to let Nie Pan pretend to be his boyfriend.
"Call me the fifth aunt..." Meng Juexiao took Nie Pan's arm and winked at him pitifully.
"I'm dizzy. The peach blossoms are really blooming along the way. Song Xiyan, who just got rid of the train and wanted to be his girlfriend, actually jumped out of a big girl who wanted to be his girlfriend in this wilderness. She won't enter the ancient tomb and meet the little dragon girl, the head of the ancient tomb school, right?
Nie Pan muttered a few times in his heart, but there was nothing to lose to him in such a thing, not to mention that he still wanted someone at this moment, so Nie Pan shouted honestly, "Good to the fifth aunt!"
"Ha ha, okay, okay, city people are spirit..."
The fifth aunt smiled awkwardly and dealt with it, and then looked a little flustered. After all, it is difficult for her to find a girlfriend to be honest with Nie Pan. "Ok, that's... I'm leaving. You can talk slowly..."
The fifth aunt took a few quick steps towards the village with a basket, and suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Jie Xiao, this is out of the village. Where are you going?"
"I took him around. City people seldom come to the countryside. He wants to see the scenery of our village!"
The fifth aunt walked back to Meng Juexiao's side with a basket. She whispered in her ear with a strange look, "Jou Xiao, if you go further north, you will reach the bottom of the North Mountain. I heard from the big fruit brothers who herding sheep say that they seemed to see a white ghost in the ravine in the evening the day before yesterday. It's so fast that people can't see clearly... You But be careful, don't be anything unclean..."
"Ah!"
Meng Juexiao lost his voice and was shocked, and his scalp felt a little numb. He was waiting to ask more details. The fifth aunt had already walked far away with a basket. Meng Juexiao looked at Nie Pan with some uneasily, with a blank and frightened face.
Nie Pan smiled, showed a sunny look, and looked up at the noon sun: "Don't listen to her nonsense. It's probably because she saw that you have a boyfriend. This matchmaker can't do it, so she is unhappy. She deliberately made up a story to scare you. This bright world, peace and earth, there are no demons and monsters."
Meng Juexiao nodded solemnly and said, "It's okay. I'm not afraid. I'll take you there, but can you grant me a request?" After saying that, he stared at Nie Pan expectantly.
"What's the matter?"
"Can you take me to work in Donggang? I want to make money to marry my brother's daughter-in-law..." Meng Juexiao said with a sincere face.
Nie Pan thought about it and nodded and agreed: "Ok, but it must be the consent of your parents. I don't want to be regarded as a trafficker who abducts women."
As the two of them walked and chatted, they gradually moved away from the small mountain village of Mengjiaao. They walked to the bottom of the white hillside and turned around a ridge mouth that seemed to grin. Meng Juexiao stopped and pointed to the overgrown place under the hillside in front of him and said, "Go to that side and look for it. This is the legendary past. The suspicious tomb left by the founding emperor of Xia..." After saying that, she left in a hurry. It could be seen that although she was not afraid, she was still a little nervous.
Looking at Meng Juexiao's departure, Nie Pan shook his head and smiled, sorted out the black sports backpack on his back, and walked towards the rocky and overgrown place in front of him.
Although it is winter, it is the time when paraquat is yellow, but because this place is relatively remote, and it is a tomb, the terrain is gloomy, so no one is willing to come here to herd sheep and cut the grass even in summer. At this moment, the yellow weeds are enough to spread over the knees and shake in the wind in the cold wind. Put it.
In the midst of barren grass and rocks, there stands a round bluestone tomb, with a diameter of about 20 meters. It looks like a yurt. Because it is very old, part of it has been sunk in the ground, and the dark tomb gate is faintly visible in the weeds.
Nie Pan found a branch and carefully pulled the weeds and touched the door of the ancient tomb. Suddenly, there was a "ploping" sound in the weeds. He couldn't help but jump. He stepped back with a lightning-like "so" sound and fixed his eyes to find that a gray hare had run away from under his skin. Nie Pan breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, which actually oozed cold sweat.
"Fuck, it seems that I'm also scared by this woman's ghostly words. It's really harmful. It seems that I really have to abduct Meng Juexiao back to Donggang. I must not let this woman be happy and become this matchmaker..."
Nie Pan breathed a sigh of relief, put the backpack on the ground, quickly took out the fine steel dagger from the bag, then pulled it out of the scabbard and put it in the pocket of the coat, took out the flashlight and took it in his hand, then put on the specially bought anti-virus mask, and finally picked up the bag and walked to the tomb door. The tomb gate was half-covered with a shabby stone tablet, which was enough to accommodate an adult to enter and exit calmly. Nie Pan waved his flashlight and bowed into the ancient tomb.
As soon as I entered the ancient tomb, there was a smell of damp and mold in it, and the light became darker and darker with the gradual deepening of Nie Pan, and finally until I couldn't see my fingers.
Nie Pan was highly nervously tightening the nerves of his whole body and moving his pace carefully. Under his feet was the blue stone laid thousands of years ago. With the beam in Nie Pan's hand shining on the tomb wall, mottled moss can be seen everywhere.
Nie Pan scanned the tomb with a flashlight and found that the tomb was divided into several spaces, as if the hall of the room was distributed, and the stone doors made of huge blue stone were connected.
Maybe this is an empty tomb, or the things in it have been visited by tomb robbers in the long river of thousands of years. The tomb has been empty for a long time. Under the light of light of the flashlight, Nie Pan can occasionally find sporadic pieces of porcelain in the lower corner of the mottled tomb wall.
Nie Pan did not come to archaeology. At this moment, he was not interested in these cultural relics. At this time, he carefully walked to the depths of the ancient tomb with a flashlight and passed through a stone door. Nie Pan was surprised to find that there was a faint candlelight in a cave, although it was not very clear. Bright, the things in the cave that can still shine are faintly visible.
Nie Pan was very surprised. Suddenly, his hair almost stood up, with goose bumps all over his body, and his scalp only felt numb; "What's the matter? Is this a ghost fire or something? There can't be people living in this ancient tomb, right? Shit, it can't be a ghost...",
Although Nie Pan's hair is upside down at this moment, he has been bold enough since he was a child and has never believed in ghosts and gods. What's more, the strong will to find out the cause of his father's death in his heart is driving him, so he can still keep calm in this extremely horrible space. What's more, it's better to find something than to get nothing with empty hands. At this moment, Nie Pan held his breath and almost didn't dare to get out. He quietly put his hand into his coat pocket and grabbed the fine steel dagger in his hand, and creptly poked out half of his head to look inside.
Although the light inside is weak, it can be sure that it is a burning flame. It is definitely not a ghost fire or something. It can be faintly seen that under the light is an ancient lampstand. The lamp hangs on the tomb wall and emits a faint light. Through the light, Nie Pan looked into the cave and saw the lamp. There is a bluestone platform that seems to hold a coffin. I don't know if the coffin has been stolen or is not at all. At this moment, the platform is bare. At one end of the stone platform, Nie Pan actually found a green ordinary nylon rope hanging about one meter away from the ground, and the two ends are tied to the bulge part of the tomb wall.
"What the hell is going on?"
Nie Pan was even more confused. He bit his lips and shook his head and muttered. At this moment, Nie Pan suddenly felt a gloomy wind behind him. He turned around in horror and twisted his neck back a little. At this moment, Nie Pan glanced a white figure on his back with the corners of his eyes. After a flash, the figure came silently like a ghost. Nie Pan's intuitive waist was numb, and then his body could no longer move.
At this moment, there was an indescribable shock in Nie Pan's heart, "Am I wrong? Is there really a ghost in this world, or is it a female ghost like Nie Xiaoqian? Otherwise, why can't I move? Is the father's death related to this white ghost? ......”
After thinking of his father, the fear in Nie Pan's heart quickly disappeared. "Grandma, what's so terrible even if it's a female ghost? Anyway, I'm going to die. What are you afraid of? Cut off a big scar on my head. Eighteen years later, I'll be another hero. Since I dare to enter the ancient tomb alone, I'm not afraid of death..."
"Where did the lone ghost dare to do evil? Aren't you afraid that the Lord of Hell will accept you? Let me go..." Although Nie Pan can't move at this moment, fortunately, he can still speak.
Nie Pan's angry voice echoed in the ancient tomb, and no one answered him. After a long time, there was a gentle sound of footsteps in Nie Pan's ear, one step, two steps, three steps, four steps... The time between each step seemed to be the same. The force on the ground was almost the same, and the sound was completely the same. Same.
"What the hell are you? Are you a human or a ghost? What do you want to do to me?"
Nie Pan continued to ask loudly, but Nie Pan judged from the footsteps that this should not be a ghost or something, otherwise it would not make a sound, but if it was not a ghost, what would it be? What kind of witchcraft did she use to make her immobile?
