Chapter 38 Reading
This bizarre method of killing was obviously the work of an evil creature.
Otherwise, even if ordinary people killed someone, they would never be able to cut the body into such a detailed state and stuff it into this stone wall.
Shiyi dug out the body and carefully searched the space inside.
Sure enough, I found a pull ring at the deepest part and pulled it hard.
A secret door finally appeared, and the scene suddenly became clear.
It is an underground mausoleum, the same size as the Zhixian Temple above.
"Sure enough, there is a mystery hidden under the Zhixian Temple."
Shiyi transformed into a shadow and sneaked into the underground tomb with ease.
I saw a corpse being heavily bound with chains on a huge stone platform.
There are six huge mysterious iron nails stuck on the chain.
What caught Xu Ke's attention the most was that there seemed to be something other than a Sophia lute in the arms of the corpse.
It seems to be a shuttle used for weaving, and also like a harp used for playing.
It was only about the size of two palms, with five silk threads on it, all stained with thick blood.
Obviously, if the evil thing that cuts off a person's head is really related to this Weaver Fairy.
Then this weird Shuo Qin is the biggest target of suspicion.
Shiyi tentatively stepped forward and touched it.
Just when he was about to touch the harpsichord, countless densely packed thin lines suddenly appeared out of thin air.
In just an instant, Shiyi was so tightly entangled that she could not move.
The thread quickly tightened, leaving bloodstains all over her body, and was about to twist Shiyi into pieces.
Obviously, this evil thing, like Xu Ke, can exert more strength the closer it is to its own territory.
But Xu Ke has already discovered the existence of the Zhixian Temple, so how could he let Shiyi alone rush into this place and risk his life?
An invisible fear is like a turbulent wave, and the waves are overwhelming.
The entire underground mausoleum was instantly filled. The huge fear not only made Shiyi lose her ability to resist in an instant, she fell to the ground and trembled desperately.
Even the silk threads that bound Shiyi burst apart, and the brilliance around the Suoqin suddenly dimmed, losing its previous magical power.
This wave of fear attacks that had been building up for a long time made both parties on the field incapacitated.
Caught in a lose-lose situation.
And the fearful demon couldn't muster the courage to enter the tomb to collect this thing.
During the stalemate, bad news came again.
The skeleton that was nailed to the stone platform by six iron nails as tall as a person began to twitch and tremble.
There seems to be a revival?
A single magic weapon is so powerful, so if its owner is resurrected, his life will not be reduced to ashes?
The skeleton trembled for a moment and slowly stood up from the stone platform.
He glanced at Shiyi who was lying on the ground.
Obviously it was just a skull face, but Xu Ke could read a bit of ridicule in it.
"You're laughing so hard, let's compete if you have the ability!"
Xu Ke also got angry.
After taking advantage of the advantage, she was nothing more than this. She had the courage to come to his territory, and then the two sides started to compete with each other?
After the skeleton stood up, he tried to walk slowly off the stage.
With just one step, the fragile frame cannot move.
With a squeak, it completely disintegrated and shattered into a skeleton.
It fell to the ground with a bang.
“That’s it?”
It can be seen that it’s not just Xu Ke.
Even Shuoqin beside the skeleton seemed to be hit by this incident.
He transformed into an evil creature and hunted so many people in an attempt to help his master escape.
As a result, his master fell apart so easily?
Looking at the scattered skeletons scattered on the ground, Xu Ke confirmed that there was no movement from them.
Hurryly called Shi Yi to pick up the shuttle instrument and return to his territory.
It can be seen that Suo Qin was hit hard, and its mind seemed to be a bit weaker than Shiyi's.
Therefore, the fear attack was a little more serious.
Until Shiyi regained her mobility and tried to leave here.
Xuo Qin only recovered the ability of one silk thread, and the restraint was not even strong enough to scratch the itch. I'm afraid that even ordinary people can't be strangled to death, let alone Shiyi.
So Shiyi held on to the shackles of the silk thread strangling her neck and hurried back into the jungle.
At this point, Suo Qin, who lost her ability to resist, was quickly suppressed by Xu Ke's earth energy.
After Xu Ke's investigation, there seemed to be a bright purple mark on the Suo Qin.
It is this mark that is imprinted on the Shuoqin and controls its actions.
As the earth's energy fades, the mark gradually fades.
According to Xu Ke's calculations, as long as the mark is imprinted with Xu Ke's aura after a period of time, the evil object will be officially refined.
But Xu Ke didn't know that it was in the underground tomb of Zhixian Temple.
After the skeleton fell apart, the six nails and chains finally lost their effectiveness.
A stream of purple smoke slowly floated from the stone platform, forming a purple ball.
"Huh? Someone actually took away my magic weapon."
Just two steps outside, a breeze hit, making this group of purple energy teeter on the edge of collapse. .
"I...forget it, wait until I recover, and then I'll ask for my money back with interest." The first evil thing disappears without a trace before ordinary people know it.
Of course the government immediately said that it was the county magistrate who planned the situation properly and responded in a timely manner.
As a result, the evil creature was beheaded before it could cause greater harm.
As for the few people who lost their lives in this incident, who cares?
However, Xu Ke couldn't help but be curious about this matter.
According to the density of weird and evil things in this world, and the endless death incidents happening in various places.
It is really strange that there is still an organizational structure to maintain the system.
According to common sense, dozens of people would die at this rate.
In a few hundred years, all living people in the world will be killed...
"It can't be that the imperial court has mastered some kind of human technology, and can dig a hole and grow a bunch of people?"
But what surprised Xu Ke was that the court did not know where to get a large number of people.
Almost every three to five years, a group of young people, both men and women, move in from other places.
The government will allocate farmland for farming, or let them go to the fields to clear up wasteland on their own, and the court will reduce their taxes for one or two years.
As a result, the population of Tianhu County has always been maintained in a relatively reasonable and healthy state.
Even because there are very few elderly people, the entire county has a youthful look.
For example, if someone has an elderly person to support them, it is a sign that their family is well off.
For example, Li Sheng and his wife were so poor that they had to live in a haunted house.
Both parties are naturally refugees without fathers and mothers. When they get here, they can only start from scratch.
Closer to home...
After a few months, Li's two children have reached the age where they should study.
Li also took part of the increasingly scarce money and carefully selected an old scholar with good knowledge and virtue.
Let him come to his home for an hour every day to teach his two children how to practice calligraphy.
At first, when the old scholar saw the two children, he taught them with all his heart.
But later, I don’t know what happened, but he refused to teach any more.
No matter how many times Mrs. Li came to request, the old scholar still insisted:
"Mrs. Li, I advise you not to waste your time anymore."
" Both of your young masters are not good at studying, and there is really nothing I can do to make this old scholar so angry. It is obvious that both children are not what he wants.
"Although your eldest son is more lively, restless, and can't bear to study, he is not bad in nature."
"But your second son is...but..."< br>
Looking back, the old scholar couldn't help but cursed:
"It's really deviant and rebellious."
"He actually said that he only saw two words between the words. ...eating people!”
