Paintings of Terror
Chapter 12 Anecdotes 12┃Curse.
It is said that fraudulent corpses also occur in reality, and the scientific explanation is related to some kind of bioelectricity.
Ke Xun thought to himself, no matter how powerful the bioelectricity is, it cannot surpass the natural electricity. How can a lightning strike cost hundreds of millions of volts?In reality, people may have burnt out long ago, but this is not reality. If a Granny Nether were to be hacked, who would be able to resist it?
"How about we hide the coffin?" Ke Xun discussed with Mu Yiran.
"There's nowhere to hide." Mu Yiran's eyes were heavy, "You can only hide in a house or in the ground, it's no different from placing it in the mourning hall. If Lei Neng hits the coffin from the next room, where can he hide?" It's all the same consequences."
"...This is forcing us to hang our hands and wait for death." Ke Xun punched the tree trunk hard.
"If we can find the seal before tonight, we don't have to care about thunder or not." Mu Yiran went down the tree after finishing speaking.
As soon as Ke Xun got off the tree, he saw the people who had gone to check the cemetery came back, their faces full of fright.
After obtaining Mu Yiran's consent, Ke Xun told these people about his doubts about the grimace on the locust tree, and asked if they wanted to look for it together.
"Let's eat first." The doctor had the unique calmness and calmness of a doctor, "I have to gather enough energy, and I will look for it after eating."
Lunch was still eaten at the old man's house, only corn-bread pickles and fried bean sprouts. Although it was still unpalatable, everyone still tried their best to feed their stomachs.
"I miss the pancake fruit deeply now." Wei Dong whispered to Ke Xun, and glanced at the pancake stall owner sitting opposite.
The owner of the pancake stall didn't know whether he had resigned himself to his fate or was scared out of his wits, and sat there in a daze without saying a word.
After lunch, everyone gathered under the three locust trees to check the grimaces on the trees.
Wei Dong walked around behind the tree, and was carefully poking a dead branch into the mouth of a wretched grimace, when he felt someone approaching him, and asked him in a low voice, "What clues did you find?"
Turning his head to look, it was Liu Yufei.
"Isn't this a clue?" Wei Dong pointed at the grimace.
"That's all?" Liu Yufei's disbelief flashed across his face, "It's impossible for the one surnamed Mu to have only found such a few clues so far. I'm afraid he didn't tell you two."
"What do you mean, is he awesome?" Wei Dong asked while continuing to poke faces.
Liu Yufei snorted and laughed: "It's awesome, he was the first to find the seal in the first two paintings, and..."
"Tell me half and keep the other half, be careful that you are constipated tonight." Wei Dong said.
Liu Yufei glared at him: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the surname Mu is not as kind as he appears, his face is too deceptive."
"I really don't think he's kind," Wei Dong poked a grimace, "But you said his face is deceptive, and I agree with that." Mingming looked at a very calm and calm person, with an angry face. At the beginning of the game, it was full of aggressiveness.
With a cold face, Liu Yufei lowered his voice: "Then do you know that in the first two paintings, all those who formed a gang with the surname Mu couldn't get out of the painting in the end?"
Wei Dong paused, and looked up at him in surprise: "Climbed out?"
"..." Liu Yufei was so angry that his expression changed, but he seemed to be trying to control his emotions, and he gritted his teeth and asked Weidong, "He really didn't find any other clues?"
"How would I know? Even if someone finds out, they won't be able to tell me." Wei Dong lowered his head and continued poking faces.
"In the painting, you'd better have a little more insight," Liu Yufei looked at him, "If you ask for a little more clues, you will have one more chance to start the painting."
"Okay, I see." Wei Dong said.
"Don't forget, the two of us got the same word, and we are likely to be together in life or death." Liu Yufei reminded him in a deep voice, "So I hope you and I can share clues and find a way to get out of here together."
"Okay, I see." Wei Dong said.
Liu Yufei stared at him for a long time, finally grabbed a dead branch from the ground, and followed him to poke faces.
Everyone searched all afternoon, but they couldn't find anything useful.
At this moment, the sky is as gloomy as night, and thick clouds are rolling and gathering above the head, constantly changing, surging, and squeezing.
"Go back, it's getting dark." The doctor's deep voice made everyone feel even more gloomy.
The old man said that he would return to his house when it was dark and arrange tasks for everyone tonight.
This also means that the second round of horror has begun.
"The person who got the cloth with the word 'Gu' will be in charge of the night vigil tonight. The person who got the cloth with the word '恶' is responsible for digging graves in the northern suburbs of the village. The person who got the cloth with the word 'Yang' will go to Li's house Chopping firewood in the firewood room. The person who gets the cloth with the word "take" will guard the granary of Li's family."
After the old man finished speaking, he turned and went to the next room, leaving behind eight people with different expressions, falling into an unspeakable silence.
"...I...I don't want to die..." After a while, the silence was finally broken by a trembling wailing, "Ke Er, I don't want to die...I don't want to go to the mourning hall, I don't want to die..."
Wei Dong panicked, and grabbed Ke Xun's arms with a pale face, trying to get protection or guarantee from his good brother.
Ke Xun grabbed his body that was almost unsteady, and burned physically and mentally.
"My surname is Mu! Where is the seal?!" Liu Yufei, who also got the cloth strip with the word "Gu", was about to burst into tears. step out of the way.
"Are you just so inhumane and just watching others die?!" Liu Yufei hissed, his eyes were filled with collapse and almost madness, "Tell me the clues you know! I don't want to die! No one wants to die ! Why do you want to get out alive?!"
Roaring here, he waved at the people around him, "Mu must know where the seal is! Let's go together! Let him speak out! He knows! He must know!"
Everyone was silent, looking at the emotionally broken Liu Yufei with deadly eyes.
Although other people may not survive tonight, those who went to the mourning hall... It is almost certain that they must have gone and never returned.
"I think," the doctor said calmly, "while there is still some time, let's talk about all the clues we have thought of and gather together, maybe we can find the seal."
Seeing that everyone was still silent, the doctor added: "According to the arrangement of yesterday and today, the tasks of vigil and grave-digging will fall to others sooner or later."
It means that everyone can't escape. If you don't provide clues and everyone contributes, you will die here sooner or later.
Seeing that everyone was moved, the doctor continued: "Let me start by throwing bricks to attract jade. In the morning, I walked around the village and found a stone tablet at the head of the village. The inscription on the inscription is a brief village history of the village.
"The people in this village are all surnamed Li. I think the villagers here are probably of the same clan. Their ancestors can be traced back to the Warring States Period. They were officials in the Qin State at that time, and their official name was 'Zongzhu'.
"As far as I know, the official 'Zong Zhu' is an official in charge of praying to ancestors and ghosts and gods, so this official position is an official with the nature of a wizard.
"I think that this clue may have something to do with the content of this painting. The above are the relatively useful clues I have obtained so far. Everyone, if you think of something, you might as well say it, and we can analyze it together."
After the doctor finished speaking, his eyes first fell on Mu Yiran.
"The matter of ghosts and gods, isn't this nonsense!" Liu Yufei roared violently, "Even if their ancestors are not Zongzhu, this painting is full of ghosts and gods! Your clues are completely useless!"
No one paid attention to him, they just stared at Mu Yiran unanimously, as if he was a god of salvation.
"The death of those five people last night, I think there is a pattern to follow." Mu Yiran's face was calm, "And the village records on the stone tablet you mentioned, I don't think it is completely useless."
"It's the same as not saying it!" Liu Yufei rushed up again and wanted to grab Mu Yiran, but Ke Xun who was next to him grabbed his wrist.
"Either shut up and think of a way, or I'll turn your clothes into a broken-arm shirt." Ke Xun said expressionlessly, exerting a little force on his hands, causing Liu Yufei to scream in pain, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
"Speaking of the death conditions of those five people," the doctor continued Mu Yiran, "the two who died in the cemetery are indeed a bit strange. When we passed by, those crows were already eating the corpses, but you can still see them." It turns out that the two corpses were equally divided into several meat sections—note, it is 'equally divided', which is a very average equal amount of corpses, which makes me feel a little unnatural, unless the force has compulsion syndrome, otherwise I don't think it is necessary to be so fine."
Mu Yiran lowered his eyes and pondered, the doctor stopped disturbing him when he saw this, and looked at the others: "Do you have any clues to provide? Even if it seems trivial and normal, you can talk about it."
"Let me tell you one." It was Ke Xun who spoke. Seeing that Mu Yiran seemed to know what he was going to say and didn't stop him, he continued, "It's not about the clues about the seal, it's about how to avoid being caught by those two papers." way of killing people."
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on his face.
"No matter what kind of work you are assigned, try to hide yourself from top to bottom. It doesn't matter if you cover it with a sack or block it with firewood, as long as you don't be seen by those two paper figurines. If the paper figurines walk in front of you , you must hold your breath."
"Then what about those who are going to dig graves?" The person who got the "evil" word hurriedly asked.
Ke Xun shook his head: "I don't know."
"It really doesn't work, try covering your body with soil." The doctor said.
"Where's the one in the mourning hall?" Wei Dong asked with a pale face and trembling, "Will the one in the coffin come out? Is it something in the coffin that gouged out the eyes of the three people?"
No one answered him, and the room was almost dead silent.
"Did Xiaomu come up with something?" The doctor broke the unbearably oppressive silence.
"I am very concerned about the fact that the ancestor of the villagers is Zong Zhu." Mu Yiran raised his eyes, and everyone immediately looked at him.
"Doing gods and ghosts has the nature of a wizard, which was very common in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period." Mu Yiran said, "Cursing was very popular at that time. For example, before the war between the two countries, there would be The most famous ritual of cursing the monarch of the enemy country is "Curse Chu Wen". It was in the late Warring States period, when the hegemony between Qin and Chu was at its most intense. .
"Regarding the current situation, the three pagoda trees called Yinmu behind the Li family's house are a kind of curse. In some places, the pagoda tree is called 'ghost beckoning', and in addition to the legend that it gathers ghosts to attract ghosts. I have reason to suspect that the person who planted these three trees behind Li's house had ill intentions towards this family.
"Also, even if it is the world in the painting, the scene reflected must be logical, the story must be meticulous and bug-free, but last night in Li's house, we did not see any descendants or close relatives of the Li family. According to common sense, This is a bug.
"Our role should be the villagers who go to the Li family to help. If we were the Li family, the sackcloth we wear would not be in such a standard. From this, it can be seen that the Li family should have no descendants. In other words, it is extinct.
"For the ancients or the people of the old era, extinct households are a miserable fate in the eyes of others. There is a saying that they have suffered retribution or curses.
"In addition, the coffin in the mourning hall is made of pure cypress wood. The pure cypress wooden coffin will be struck by the sky. It is not a good word. It is usually used to verbally curse others, but if the pure cypress wood coffin If it is put into practice, this kind of curse is not just a verbal talk, but a real, man-made, deliberate, and real curse.
"Combining the above points, we can draw an important clue that I don't know if it is important, that is, the family who performed the funeral was artificially cursed. From the time when the three locust trees were planted until now, the family died. The one in the mourning hall is the last member of their family, and this family is now extinct."
Ke Xun thought to himself, no matter how powerful the bioelectricity is, it cannot surpass the natural electricity. How can a lightning strike cost hundreds of millions of volts?In reality, people may have burnt out long ago, but this is not reality. If a Granny Nether were to be hacked, who would be able to resist it?
"How about we hide the coffin?" Ke Xun discussed with Mu Yiran.
