Chapter 41 Hanging Coffin Canyon 13【2 in 1】

They have been drifting along the river for a long time from the original river bank, and the surroundings are quiet and deserted, only the sound of gurgling water.

And the moon hangs high in the night sky, adding a sense of loneliness to the atmosphere.

After Tao Bin's mood eased, Wu Xiajiu asked: "Do you know what happened to your mother before she disappeared? Are you sure she came to the Xun clan?"

Tao Bin wiped his face and said, "I'm sure, my mother wrote in her notes that only the Xun people have the medicine that can suppress this strange disease."

"But the family rules of the Xun people are very strict. They forbid outsiders to enter here, and they also don't allow the Xun people to leave the place where they have lived for generations."

"If you leave, it will be like betraying the Xun clan, and you will be punished..."

"My mother wrote that she wanted to come back to steal the medicine. If she can't come back, it means that she was caught. If she was caught...it might mean being executed."

Tao Bin's voice gradually lowered in the end.

Tao Bin seemed unwilling to talk more about this topic, and instead said: "I don't know the condition of my mother's illness before she disappeared, but the last record on the notebook is that the scales on my mother's body have begun to spread to her body."

Suman disappeared for two years.

There has been no news for the past two years, either he was found trapped in the Xun tribe, or... the ominous situation is getting worse.

Tao Bin probably knew it in his heart.

It's just that he can't be reconciled until it's finalized.

The atmosphere on the wooden boat fell silent, and the three of them stopped talking.

At this moment, the wooden boat suddenly made a "peng thud" sound, and then shook - slightly, not violently, as if it had hit something under the hull.

Wu Xiajiu took out a small flashlight and shone it under the hull.

The surface of the river was pitch black, but nothing could be seen.

However, they could clearly feel that the river water seemed to be getting shallower, and the wooden boat might have hit something like a boulder protruding from the bottom of the river.

The three of them didn't pay much attention immediately.

Not long after, they looked forward, and the river gradually approached the side of the surrounding mountain.

And the hanging coffin nailed to the mountain seems to be close at hand, even in the dark night, it can indeed be seen at a glance.

As it slowly approached the mountain, part of the moonlight was blocked, and the light began to become a little dim.

Wu Xiajiu and Xiao Fang shined their flashlights on the hanging coffin on the mountain.

At this moment, there was another "crack" sound, and the ship shook slightly. Wu Xiajiu immediately lowered his head to look, frowning, but still found nothing.

"The hanging coffins in this valley seem to be different from those outside." Xiao Fang said suddenly.

Wu Xia Jiufu raised his head again and said, "There are iron chains wrapped around the hanging coffin here..."

Almost every hanging coffin has one on it, connecting one after another, and then hanging down.

As he spoke, he looked at the dark and muddy river again at night.

Is it possible that the two previous collisions caused the wooden boat to shake because of the iron chain?

Each of the iron chains wrapped tightly around the hanging coffin extended into the river.

If it is nailed to the bottom of the river or a boulder where the river surface is still shallow, it may indeed protrude and then rub against the hull of the ship.

"But why wrap iron chains around the hanging coffin?"

Tao Bin couldn't help murmuring: "It seems, it seems that some iron chains have passed through the coffin. How much manpower it will take to make it."

Wu Xiajiu shone the flashlight into the distance.

After approaching the mountain on this side, the river began to narrow from wide to narrow. After the previous collisions with the bottom of the boat, the water level of the river seemed to rise again.

The obvious contrast is that the line of sight on both sides of the river has also changed, and the gentle hillside gradually turns into a steep cliff.

But the river became narrower and narrower, until it was gradually in the middle of the two cliffs, and finally there was only a gap between the cliffs about five meters wide.

The cage in front and the wooden boat in the back are slowly following the river water into the gap between the mountains.

While the hanging coffins in the cracks are relatively less, but the number is still considerable.

The lowest position of the hanging coffin is almost above the heads of Wu Xiajiu, Xiao Fang and Tao Bin, and the highest position is at the top of the cliff.

There are still iron chains hanging from the hanging coffin.

Some have even been embedded into the mountain due to the long years, covered with rust, and surrounded by weeds.

The river, about five meters wide, narrowed again in the gap between the mountains.

The narrowest part seems to be less than three meters. The hull of the boat is almost close to the cliff and goes along the water. It is not until the front is about to reach the exit that the river gradually becomes wider.

As the exit approached, Wu Xiajiu observed that flowers as bright as blood gradually appeared on the cliffs of the mountains on both sides.

Each of the flowers is about the size of a palm, and the petals are very thin, and the wind just blows through them, and they are slowly swinging.

It's a bit unclear at night, but I can still feel the beauty and charm of these flowers.

Tao Bin couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, he stretched halfway and then retracted hesitantly. After all, the flower looked strange and he didn't know it.

In case it is poisonous, it is better not to touch it casually.

The body of the boat drifts naturally with the river, slowly moving forward in the crevice of the mountain.

Wu Xiajiu turned on the flashlight, and it seemed that there was not much power left in it. The faint light, which was not very bright in the dark night, shone on the bright red flowers, and he could barely see the flowers and their surroundings clearly.

——Flowers grow on the cliff with difficulty. Both the petals and the roots are extremely thin, as if they would break if touched lightly, and they are extremely fragile.

The soil on this mountain cliff is slightly moist, and under the light of the flashlight, it has an inconspicuous luster.

"Why does it look familiar..." Xiao Fang squeezed his chin with one hand, leaned closer and muttered.

Wu Xia took a long look at him and said, "I just ate during the day."

Xiao Fang turned around: "Huh? Have you eaten?"

He thought about it, and then suddenly opened his eyes: "Oh, this thing should not be the ranunculus flower that was placed on the fish."

If you take a closer look, the more you look at it, the more familiar it becomes, and the more you look, the more certain it becomes.

That's right, the flowers on the cliffs on both sides are the ranunculus flowers. The side dishes that the Xun people say are edible, do they all come here to pick them?

Wu Xiajiu looked at the cage in front of him that was about to drift away from the exit, and his face was a bit ugly.

The flowers shouldn't have had much contact with the corpse, but growing on the surface of the river makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

The red flowers did not decrease slowly as the exit approached, but instead grew more and more densely.

Until, the small wooden boat gradually sailed out of the gap between the mountains, and the world outside the gap was revealed in the eyes of Wu Xiajiu, Xiao Fang and Tao Bin——

This is a huge deep pool completely surrounded by mountains and cliffs, and the wooden boat is particularly small in it.

If you look down from above, you can find that this deep pool is actually surrounded by two cliffs of the Tianxuan Canyon, presenting a large circular fjord.

The river in the middle of the Tianxuan Canyon enters from one side of the fjord, and then flows out from a very narrow mountain crevice on the opposite side.

The exit of the wooden boat that the three of Wu Xiajiu drifted along the water was in the gap between the two entrances and exits of the river.

Just as the wooden boat sailed into the large circular entrance of the fjord, and the three of them opened their eyes in shock, Wu Xiajiu and Xiao Fang's wristbands became hot for a moment, and a new message appeared on the panel.

[Congratulations to the passengers for discovering Sleepy Dragon Bay and obtaining relevant information—the curse of the Xun tribe (to be explored)]

Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but look at Xiao Fang.

Sleepy Longwan?

The curse of the Xun clan?

Is the curse related to the fish monster and Tao Bin's mother's strange disease?

Looking at the deep pool fjord again, it seems that it is particularly favored by the moonlight. The moonlight shines on it, reflecting on the surface of the river, with sparkling colors.

And the cliffs around the entire deep pool are covered with dense ranunculus flowers, from top to bottom, and some even bloom on the hanging coffins, which are inexplicably strange when they are swaying in the wind.

When the wooden boat was about to leave the exit, Wu Xiajiu put his oars in the gap between the iron chain at the exit and the cliff. The boat stopped and did not drift to the center of the deep pool with the river.

The three of them sat on the boat and watched the cage drift farther and farther until it gradually approached the center of the deep pool.

Looking at the seemingly bottomless river, Wu Xiajiu frowned more and more, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

He couldn't help but quietly took out "Poshan's Turtle Shell Fragment" from the bracelet, and as soon as it fell into the palm of his hand, the fragment suddenly became hot.

It was so hot that Wu Xiajiu was caught off guard for a while, and almost dropped the fragments of the turtle shell on the boat.

After clenching tightly again, Wu Xiajiu said: "Go, let's get out of here quickly."

Tao Bin was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "Why? Don't we go to the center of this fjord to take a look? There is no..."

"No, leave now." Wu Xiajiu interrupted him, and looked at Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang immediately understood what Wu Xiajiu meant, without saying anything, turned around and picked up the oars to paddle, and turned the direction of the wooden boat together with Wu Xiajiu.

After a while, the wooden boat sailed into the narrow gap between the mountains again.

Tao Bin wanted to say something else.

However, after driving into the crevice of the mountain, the three of them turned their heads, and suddenly saw that the cage had drifted to about the middle of the deep pool, as if being dragged by something, it suddenly sank and disappeared.

Waves suddenly appeared on the originally calm river, slowly spreading around.

At that moment, a creepy feeling climbed up Tao Bin's back, making his hair stand on end and his scalp numb.

It's as if there is some monster hidden in the deep pool...

"Hurry up and row the boat." Wu Xiajiu held the fragments of the turtle shell tightly and said in a low voice.

Xiao Fang responded.

The oars moved quickly, and the hull of the boat gradually moved away from the deep pool in the fjord against the current.

And just when the wooden boat the three of them were on was far away from the entrance of the fjord and came to the narrowest river between the mountain crevices, violent waves suddenly appeared in the center of the deep pool, as if something was stirring in it.

The nailed hanging coffins and the growing ranunculus flowers on the surrounding cliffs were trembling non-stop, and the iron chains rattled and rattled, the sound gradually grew louder.

But soon, the noise slowly stopped until it disappeared.

The hull of the boat was between the cracks of the mountain, and the three of them seemed to feel something.

Wu Xiajiu turned his head and stared at the cliff of the mountain. He raised his head and looked up. The hanging coffin and the iron chain seemed to have moved slightly, and the soil and gravel continued to slide down.

The three of them couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

But fortunately, their rowing speed was not slow, and it didn't take long before they rowed out of the cracks in the mountains and reappeared on the spacious river.

Only then did Tao Bin finally let out a breath and relax.

Wu Xiajiu held the "Boshan's tortoise shell fragment" for a long time, and the heat was gradually dissipating.

Tao Bin couldn't help asking: "Is there something in that fjord and deep pool..."

Otherwise, why would the cage suddenly sink.

No one can answer this question, and no one knows what's underneath, but it's always dangerous.

Even the longer he stayed there, the sense of uneasiness and fear surged up at the same time, making one's spine shiver unbearably.

No longer thinking about the situation in the fjord, Wu Xia took a long look at the sky, put away the fragments of the turtle shell and said, "Go back quickly, it will be dawn soon."

The three of them rowed the wooden boat, and soon returned to the original location by the river.

Together they pulled the wooden boat to the river bank, tied the rope, and then left here in the dark.

……

When Wu Xiajiu and Xiao Fang returned to the room, Ah You and Soy Sauce were still lying on the beds on the left and right, fast asleep.

Wu Xia observed Ah You for a long time, but there was no trace of him waking up.

He yawned and lay back on the bed, intending to take a quick rest before dawn.

Not long after, Wu Xiajiu fell into sleep.

Early the next morning, Wu Xiajiu wakes up in a daze, and sees Ah You sitting up from the bed with his back facing him.

As if hearing the movement behind him, Ah You turned his head, glanced at Wu Xiajiu, and smiled.

A newly awakened person is probably always defenseless at first.

Wu Xiajiu had two marks on one cheek, and he was flushed from sleep. His fair skin was so delicate that even a close look had no blemishes, and he was very beautiful.

The black hair on the side of the face was slightly curled at the end, and it was limp and softly attached to it, showing a bit of harmlessness and cuteness.

But immediately, Wu Xiajiu's eyes regained consciousness, and his beautiful face returned to the calm and calm state of the past.

He also turned over and sat up, but he yawned uncontrollably, covering his mouth with one hand weakly, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a little teardrop appeared from the corner of his eyes.

People can't help but think that even yawning is so delicate.

Seeing that Ayou seemed to be looking at him all the time, Wu Xiajiu put down his hands and looked back, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ah You said: "Did you go to be a thief last night? You were so sleepy this morning, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Wu Xiajiu took a look at him and said, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Not bad." Ah You raised his eyebrows and said.

"Then your sleep quality is really good enough."

At this time, Xiao Fang got up from the opposite bed and said, "Last night, that Xun tribe was snoring all the time. The noise was so loud that it was so noisy. It's no wonder he fell asleep."

Ah You's expression remained unchanged: "My sleep quality has always been very good."

Soy Sauce had also woken up a long time ago. At this moment, he scratched his hair and said, "I was probably tired yesterday, and I fell asleep later."

After he finished speaking, he picked up a small stone from the ground and drew another line under yesterday's horizontal line. Today is the second day after entering the Xun tribe.

All four of them got up and went out.

Tally just walked in from the outside.

He was carrying a basket on his shoulders, and after putting it on the ground, Wu Xiajiu took a look, and there were many fish with their tails twitching slightly in the basket.

Wu Xiajiu asked, "Where did you catch these fish, outside the valley?"

Tuli raised his head, with the corners of his mouth pulled up, and said with a smile, "Yes, otherwise, where can I go fishing."

After he finished speaking, he dumped all the baskets into the wooden basin, then sat down and scraped the fish scales with a knife.

After a while, Lu Cheng and the other four also came out of another room.

Among the four of them, only Lu Cheng's complexion was a little ugly, with thick dark circles under his eyes, coughing from time to time, with an impatient and irritable expression.

Dali was sitting close to the door, and he could see the door at a glance.

Therefore, when Wu Xiajiu was waiting for someone to go out, he didn't stop him, just glanced at him twice and continued with the matter at hand.

The houses of Dali and Sang are only separated by a row of wooden fences, with weeds growing between the fences, and the height of the fences is only waist high.

Standing by the fence for a long time, Wu Xiajiu saw Tao Bin coming out of the house, and stretched out his hand to beckon him.

Seeing this, Tao Bin walked towards Wu Xiajiu and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wu Xiajiu said: "You sneaked out last night, does Professor Zhao know?"

Tao Bin shook his head immediately, and said in a low voice, "I mentioned that I wanted to go out to look for my mother at night, but the professor has always disagreed with this matter. He is afraid of danger."

"The professor wanted to slowly find out about my mother's whereabouts, but I was in a hurry, so..."

"I came out without telling the professor, don't tell him about this."

Wu Xiajiu nodded, indicating that he understood.

He asked again: "Do you look like your mother?"

Tao Bin continued to shake his head and said, "It's not very similar. Others say that I look a lot like my father. It's almost carved out of the same mold. The most similar part of my mother and I is the mouth."

Seemingly puzzled why Wu Xiajiu asked this question, Tao Bin wondered, "What's wrong?"

Wu Xiajiu's eyes fell on Sa Ang who just happened to walk over from not far away.

After Sa Ang limped up slowly, gave them a blank look, and walked into the room, he answered, "I think Sa Ang knows you."

"How is it possible." Tao Bin's first reaction was to deny it.

He said, "I've never met him, let alone met him."

Tao Bin didn't even know that his mother was from the Xun people before, and he didn't even know anything about the Xun people.

Furthermore, Saang should not be out of the Xun clan, so how could he know him? !

Wu Xiajiu said: "You have never met each other before, but what if Saang can learn about your existence from your mother?"

"Is it possible that your mother has your photo in her hand. After she came to the Xun clan, that photo was in the hands of Saang."

Wu Xiajiu is a reasonable guess.

But when he reminded him like this, Tao Bin suddenly thought that after his mother disappeared, a family photo at home also disappeared.

He once guessed that this photo was probably taken by his mother.

So, he hurriedly said something to Wu Xiajiu.

Tao Bin said: "Then is it possible that my mother is still alive? Does Saang know where my mother is?!"

As he spoke, he became emotional, and turned around to ask Sa Ang for clarification.

Wu Xiajiu grabbed him, frowned and said, "Don't be impulsive, why do you think Sa Ang recognized you but didn't reveal your identity?"

Tao Bin stopped immediately, with a puzzled expression on his face, and said, "Why..."

Wu Xiajiu: "We have just come to the Xun clan, and we have already realized that the rules of the Xun clan are strict, and the whole clan only obeys the orders of the patriarch."

"Besides, you also said before that if the Xun people leave here without authorization, it means that they violate the family rules and will be punished."

"That's why your mother mentioned in her notes that she wanted to go back to the Xun clan to steal medicine."

"That means that once she is discovered, what will happen... As your mother's son, do you think the Xun people will welcome you?"

will not.

Not only would Tao Bin not be welcomed, Tao Bin's end would probably be even worse than their group of "outsiders".

After realizing this, Tao Bin's expression changed, and he opened his mouth and said, "That, that sao he..."

Wu Xiajiu: "I think he may have a pretty good relationship with your mother. Even if he recognized you, he didn't report to the patriarch."

"If possible, you can indeed inquire about your mother's whereabouts from Sa Ang, but you can only do so quietly, and there is no rush."

"The most important thing is that this matter cannot be asked in front of other people, especially the Xun people."

"Otherwise, you don't need me to say more to understand."

Tao Bin nodded vigorously when he heard the words: "I see, thank you, Guanzhu."

Wu Xiajiu asked him to calm down before going back to the house.

Later, because Tuli was watching closely, Xiaoyu, Sanma and others wanted to go out for a little distance and take a stroll elsewhere, but Tuli would come out to stop them.

This made Sanma dissatisfied and had a fight with Dali, and almost got into a fight.

In the end, Sa Ang came out to persuade the fight.

Dali looked at Sanma with a gloomy expression, and said, "You foreigners, be careful with me, if I catch you trying to do something wrong..."

As Dali spoke, he raised the knife for shaving fish scales in his hand just now, the threat was very obvious.

Seeing this, Sanma sneered, spit on the ground, and said, "Who is afraid of you?"

Dali's anger immediately came up again, and he wanted to go forward with a knife, but was stopped by Sahang.

Sa Ang firmly pressed his shoulders to persuade him: "Okay, go in quickly, the patriarch has already said that we can't conflict with these foreigners."

"Are you trying to disobey the patriarch's order?"

Dali swung Saang's arm away, and said something inexplicably: "That's now, just wait."

After speaking, Tuli turned around and entered the house.

Then, he sat down and continued to scrape the fish scales, looking at Sanma every time he scraped, as if the knife was scraping the flesh of Sanma.

Sanma was immediately terrified by him, and he couldn't help but regret having a conflict with this Xun tribe.

But the matter has come to this point, he can only bite the bullet, boldly stare back, and then sit outside the house, not daring to go in for the time being.
