Chapter 12: The Fallen Clan


"Don't talk, they're not youkai."

A voice whispered to Ding Xiaolan, and then let go of the hand covering her mouth.

Ding Xiaolan looked back in a panic, only to see Qi Lu put his finger to his mouth and pouted lightly.

Ding Xiaolan lowered her body, and with her sensitive ears, she heard a strange "buzzing" sound, and then saw the heads of the boss and the boss lady also flying out of the back room.

Especially the head of the proprietress deliberately looked back at Ding Xiaolan before it flew out of the window, Ding Xiaolan clearly saw her dull and bulging eyes, goosebumps rose in an instant, and she felt something cold and piercing straight into her heart, until the stiff, breathless face disappeared in the night, and Ding Xiaolan couldn't recover a calm heartbeat.

Qi Lu put his mouth in her ear and whispered: "In ancient China, there was a strange people, they belonged to a side branch of the Yue people, called the Luotou tribe.

One of the strange characteristics of this people is that their heads will automatically leave their bodies and fly around after falling asleep at night, and will fly back at dawn to reunite with their bodies.

They are simple in nature and do not hurt people, so if you get used to it, you won't be surprised. ” "My heart jumps when I watch it once, and you want me to watch it a few more times."

Ding Xiaolan muttered quietly, seeing that the middle-aged man's chest was still rising and falling, but there was not a drop of blood flowing out of his neck, and she began to believe Qi Lu's words a little.

Qi Lu took her hand and tiptoed back to the room on the second floor, Ding Xiaolan locked the door as soon as she entered the room, and closed the window tightly, for fear that the heads of these descendants of the Yue people would fly in with her.

"Is it necessary to exaggerate so much" Qi Lu said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay, don't run around, otherwise you won't even have your soul when you see something more terrifying." ” Ding Xiaolan patted her chest, trying to stabilize her emotions, she asked hesitantly, "They are really people, not monsters or ghosts or anything."

"Yes, they are human beings just like us.

However, it is precisely because of their peculiar physiological structure that in ancient times, they were really regarded as monsters by people who did not know the truth.

At that time, there were rumors that they were the descendants of humans and monsters, specializing in killing good people, and wanted to build an evil country, but in fact, these were all trumped-up charges. ” Qi Lu took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and said, "The tragedy of the Luotou clan happened in the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Tang Wuzong believed that the prevalence of Buddhism would cause the country to fall in chaos one after another, and the fortune would not last long, so he issued an edict to carry out a campaign to exterminate Buddhism.

The vast majority of the Luotou people believe in Buddhism, and in order to support Buddhism, they openly and secretly oppose the government.

In addition, it is rumored that the Luotou clan and the local powerful feudal towns collude with each other to conspire to overthrow the imperial court and replace it. ” Tang Wuzong was furious, and issued a top-secret holy decree, ordering the local government to exterminate the Luotou clan, and to receive rewards according to the merit of the head.

In order to clear up the relationship with the Luotou people, the feudal towns in various places have worked hard to kill the people of the Luotou tribe in the territory under their jurisdiction.

In that catastrophe, it is said that less than 100 Luotou people survived, and in order to escape the pursuit of the government, they lived in seclusion on the border of China, never to associate with outsiders again. ” "Then they are not worse than the Jews, this dog emperor is really cruel."

Ding Xiaolan didn't expect that the Luotou clan would have such a miserable past.

"Yes, so we can't talk about today's events, although it is a modern society now, there are still many enemies in the Luotou clan, and we can't make trouble for them."

"Okay, but we'll go to Guta Village tomorrow morning, I really don't want to stay in this place."

Ding Xiaolan still has palpitations.

"Beauty, now that you understand what's going on, I'll go back to sleep."

Qi Lu extinguished the cigarette butt and fell to the ground to prepare for sleep.

"Hey, you can't sleep."

Ding Xiaolan shook his head vigorously to prevent him from sleeping.

"I said beauty, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm scared and can't sleep."

Ding Xiaolan smiled charmingly.

"Why don't you tell me a few stories?"

"I really convinced you, I knew I shouldn't have brought you to Myanmar."

"You think I'm dragging you down, aren't you?"

"There, there, men and women match, and they don't get tired of working."

Qi Lu saw that Ding Xiaolan was angry, so he had to sit up and chat with her.

After telling Ding Xiaolan some strange stories, seeing that she listened with relish, Qi Lu knew that he couldn't sleep today, so he went to sort out the things in his backpack, casually to see if the dry food and water were sufficient, and if it was not enough, he was going to buy some from the shopkeeper tomorrow.

At this time, Qi Lu's greatest wish was to get to Guta Village as soon as possible, so that he could have a good night's sleep at that time.

After packing up the backpack, Qi Lu was idle and played with the box that Yang Peng handed over to him.

"I don't know what kind of key is in this box, is it a golden key," Qi Lu said as he tried to uncover the seal attached to the box.

Ding Xiaolan exclaimed: "No, Boss Yang said, you have to hand it over to the village chief in person, and he will open the jewelry box by himself, you can't be untrustworthy." ” "Yang Peng himself is afraid of death, let me do this drudgery for him, I will not know if I expose him now."

"But when you go to the village chief, you'll show your stuff."

Qi Lu smiled evilly and said, "It's okay, I'll open it lightly without damaging the seal, and then stick it as it is." ” The seal was not firmly pasted, and it was easily opened by Qi Lu, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly opened the box.

But after the box was opened, Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan stared at each other with a look of surprise.

Because there was no key in the box, nothing to be precise except for a piece of golden silk on the bottom of the box.

Qi Lu couldn't believe his eyes, Yang Peng took so much effort, did he just ask him to send an empty box or that he didn't have any keys at all, he just wanted to let himself go to Guta Village to die Qi Lu rubbed his eyes, and took out the piece of silk unwillingly, seeing that the bottom of the box was empty, and there was still nothing.

He rummaged through the box a few more times, but still didn't find anything.

Ding Xiaolan said: "Could it be that Boss Yang wants to harm us?"

"Even you thought of it, how could I not have thought of it."

Qi Lu said angrily and threw the box on the ground.

The box was thrown at Ding Xiaolan's feet, and the dim light was shining bewitchingly, stretching the shadow of the mahogany box into a narrow one.

Ding Xiaolan said: "Maybe there is a mechanism in the box, and the key is hidden inside" This reminded Qi Lu, he picked up the box again and checked it again, but still didn't find anything unusual about the box, and finally he couldn't get angry, and with a hard hand, he actually skimmed the box in half, and carefully checked it against the light, not negligent of any suspicious places.

The box still has no secrets, no traps, and no hidden keys.

"Damn, Yang Peng, this bastard is cheating on me" Qi Lu finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and scolded.

It was already early morning, and the first rays of sunlight were refracted into the room, shining on the broken box in Qi Lu's hand.

The more Qi Lu thought about it, the more upset he became, and threw it out of the window hard, only to see the broken box draw a few strange arcs in the air, and it fell into the deep grass on the side of the road and disappeared.

Ding Xiaolan said: "The box is gone, how do you explain to the village chief?"

"Confess a fart, I'm going to pick Yang Peng's skin."

"Then we don't have to go to Guta Village," Ding Xiaolan was secretly happy in her heart.

"Go, Lao Tzu wants to see what tricks Yang Peng is playing."

He was about to arrive in Guta Village, and Qi Lu knew that there might be danger, but he didn't want to give up.

"But I always have a sense of foreboding."

"What are you afraid of, I will protect you."

Qi Lu picked up his backpack and took her hand and walked out.

Coming to the first floor, Ding Xiaolan cautiously looked at the middle-aged man sleeping on the counter, and found that his head had returned to his neck, no different from a normal person, and his hanging heart finally fell back to its original place.

"Checkout" Qi Lu patted the table and said, but the middle-aged man was still asleep and did not respond at all.

"Hey, brother, get up and settle the bill" Qi Lu patted him on the shoulder again, but the middle-aged man still didn't react.

Qi Lu was impatient, and stretched out his hand to push the middle-aged man.

He didn't use much strength at all, but the middle-aged man actually fell softly on the floor, Qi Lu looked at the middle-aged man who fell in surprise, and found that his face was extremely distorted, and his seven orifices were bleeding, but the blood stains had already dried up, as if he had been dead for a long time.

Ding Xiaolan shouted: "You pushed him to death" Qi Luleng said: "Don't talk nonsense, he has been dead for many days. ” Qi Lu looked calm on the surface, but his first reaction was to be extremely surprised by such an unexpected and strange scene.

It would be better to say surprise than horror, because his sixth sense told him that there was a chilling ominous omen in the room.

"I'm going to call the boss."

Ding Xiaolan wanted to find the old man to deal with the strange matter in front of him.

"Don't go, maybe they're dead too."

After the panic, Qi Lu came back to his senses, and he squatted down and began to examine the middle-aged man's body.

The middle-aged man did not have any scars on his body, but judging from the black blood flowing out of the seven orifices, Qi Lu could basically tell that he died of poisoning.

Qi Lu squeezed the corpse spots of the corpse, which were no longer deformed and displaced, and the muscles were also relaxed, not as stiff as when he had just died.

Qi Lu opened his eyelids again, and saw that the middle-aged man's eyes were cloudy, and he could no longer see the pupils, and his hands and feet had begun to swell, showing a pale wrinkled shape.

Qi Lu sighed, stood up and said, "Through the examination of the body, he has been dead for three days. ” "Ah," Ding Xiaolan exclaimed, "Could it be that all the ghosts we encountered yesterday were?"

"It's possible."

Qi Lu hesitated, if they were really ghosts, why didn't he and Ding Xiaolan notice anything wrong last night and they were still from the Luotou clan, this was really a strange thing. i0 t1706231537:
