Chapter 51: A Corpse and a Paper
No matter what the protection of He Jianqiang's family has to do with Fengmen Village, at least the two words he left here only have two meanings in our opinion. One is to tell He Xiaojianqiang that his going is related to the things guarded by the family, and the second is that these two words are actually said to all of us, and we keep waiting for him to come back. The reason may be that we don't want me to know the secret of his family.
But everyone is inclined to the first meaning. After all, it is inappropriate to use the word "guardian". A man who can be favored by a beauties like Tan Lei will not use the word to be misused. What's more, if he doesn't leave these two words, we can only stay where we can't find him. This has been agreed upon a long time ago, and he doesn't need to do anything.
Since that's the case, the meaning of his two words was very simple. This was telling He Xiaojianqiang that he discovered something related to the protection of their family. No matter whether this thing was a human or something else, he didn't want us to chase him. He just wanted his son to follow this clue to find him. After understanding this, we turned our heads together and looked at He Xiaojianqiang, waiting for him to make a decision.
I looked at He Xiaojianqiang. At the beginning, I believed that he did not know what his family guarded. Although He Jianqiang told him the stories passed down from generation to generation, he had decided not to let his son continue his life like this at that time, so he should not tell him the final purpose. But now He Xiaojianqiang accidentally walked on the same path with him, and he should not hide this secret from him anymore. The two of them muttered a lot along the way. At this time, He Xiaojianqiang should already know what their family guarded.
He Xiaojianqiang frowned, as if it was difficult to make a decision. I thought you would hesitate so much. Who knows if you will have any problems later? Seeing him in a dilemma, he was about to say that he would just forget it and let him go alone. He Xiaojianqiang had already spoken first: "Let's go together, we are in Fengmen Village. Perhaps this so-called family guardian has something to do with everyone."
After hearing what he said, everyone was interested. Anyway, He Xiaojianqiang had already agreed to take everyone with him, so naturally he would not hide what their family had been guarding. Zhang Zuo couldn't help but ask, "What is your family protecting? Do you still have to be in the ancient tomb?"
While identifying the signposts left by He Jianqiang, He led us forward and replied casually: "Of course there are dead people in the ancient tomb, and the one we are guarding is a corpse."
I said wonderingly: "Didn't it meant that when I first entered, there was nothing inside, only a stone machine and a jade pendant?"
None of them heard He Xiaojianqiang talk about the history of his family, so they couldn't understand what I was talking about for a moment. Zhang Zuo first called out: "What? Who went in?"
Zhang Zuo was actually the most unpopular in this team that had to be temporarily combined because of the content on that piece of paper. Firstly, he actually snatched the things from the box, and secondly, after knowing the content on the piece of paper, he ran back and said he wanted to remind us. In fact, we all know that this is because he was scared after reading the piece of paper. Even after reading it, even after we looked at it, we felt a chill. But then again, if Zhang Zuo really didn't tell us this, maybe it would be too late when we realized something was wrong in the future. From this point of view, he seemed to have helped us a lot, but everyone still didn't like him, so I didn't even want to pay attention to his question.
However, He Xiaojianqiang said those words while walking, and finally explained: "At present, if everyone still can't unite, maybe the ending will be the same as what was said on that piece of paper."
As soon as everyone was silent, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became suppressed. I was determined to break the atmosphere and quickly started to talk and asked: "You said that the one who guards a corpse, what's going on?"
He Xiaojianqiang said: "There is indeed only a jade pendant in the ancient tomb, but every time after the jade pendant turns red, whenever our family enters the ancient tomb, they will hear a voice talking to him in their ears. The words are about a corpse, and there is no specific description. They just say that our family will always protect this corpse. The strangest thing is that every generation of people who come in hears different locations about the corpse. In other words, this corpse is walking and wandering everywhere."
We were all shocked and I asked, "Have you ever found that body?"
He Xiaojianqiang shook his head and said, "I don't know if anyone has looked for me before, but this time my father has looked for me."
We were all curious and asked together: "Where is it? What does that corpse look like?"
He Xiaojianqiang stopped, looked back at us, and said lightly: "The location of the corpse this time is in No. 73 of the Ghost Village."
The steps of several of us were stagnant at the same time, and no corpse was seen in No. 73. I suddenly moved my heart and remembered what He Xiaojianqiang said just now: "It was a corpse walking and wandering everywhere." I couldn't help but glance at those people. I happened to see their eyes looking at the people next to me. Obviously, everyone thought of a possibility at the same time.
As soon as they touched each other's eyes, they immediately shrank back. At this time, He Xiaojianqiang said again: "This is just my guess. Maybe it's not the case. Even if one of us is really a corpse, so what? Our father and son have become your bodyguards. Besides, don't forget that piece of paper. If you are really that corpse, you have to congratulate you. The ghost can die again. Can the corpse die again? Now you don't have to think too much, so let's solve the matter in this village first."
After He Xiaojianqiang said this, everyone immediately relaxed. After thinking about it, I said, "Maybe we are too sensitive. Maybe the corpse has run out by itself, otherwise why would He Jianqiang see something related to protection? Maybe he saw that corpse."
I thought my analysis was reasonable, and they seemed to agree very much, but at this moment, Zhang Zuo suddenly changed his face and said stutteringly: "If what you said is true, then... that piece of paper will be left by the corpse?"
My heart, which was a little relaxed, suddenly sank again, and the faces of the other people completely changed. I couldn't help but remember the contents on the paper that day.
That day, Zhang Zuo took out the paper with a wry smile and said that everyone was in trouble, and we didn't take it seriously at all, but when we saw the content on the paper, we really felt that we were in trouble, and it was a big trouble.
There were only a few short words on the paper: "I will go first, you will come later." But behind these eight words, a painting, a portrait without a human face.
Yang Zijiang wanted to slap him at that time, and Zhang Zuo yelled while dodging: "Don't hit him first, look at that painting!"
Seeing that Zhang Zuo did not escape, Yang Zijiang did not continue to chase after him. He took the paper and looked at him. He gradually saw that his face began to change. He finally looked up at me and sighed, saying nothing, but he looked very frustrated and even a little scared.
I was very surprised and was about to take it over and take a look. He Jianqiang had already taken it first. The paper was too small, and the father and son put together to look at me, but I couldn't squeeze in. After a while, I saw them finishing reading. They also looked at me with a strange look. The expression on my face was exactly the same as Yang Zijiang. I became more and more curious, and I even began to feel a little frizzy. While saying, "What did you see?" I looked at the painting.
I looked at the painting, it was very ordinary, and there seemed to be nothing to see. If I had to look at it, there was only the faceless avatar. I thought I might have seen a face exactly like the "Mirror" in the ancient tomb that He Jianqiang said, but after a while, I gradually saw many people and many things from it, just like a movie. The content in the movie was everything that happened in my memory, or it was like my autobiography documentary. I couldn't help but open my mouth wide. This was really incredible. You must know that some things I almost took over and didn't mention in front of others, but the picture still appeared. I think what they saw should be the same as me, their own life record, but I don't know why they had that kind of fear expression.
At this moment, the picture turned and had already arrived in the stone chamber. Several of us appeared on the picture, but behind each of us, there was a faint white shadow, or behind each of us, there was a person we could not see. I was shocked and turned around and looked at me. Naturally, there was nothing, which made them look at me strangely. I was stunned: Didn't they see this picture? Thinking about not seeing them looking behind them just now, I don't believe they could resist it. The only explanation was that they didn't see these, but they saw another scene that felt terrifying.
I wanted to continue watching, but the picture gradually faded. I raised my head and looked at them in surprise and said, "What have you seen?"
But what greeted me was four more surprised faces, Zhang Zuo even exaggerated: "Didn't you see it?"
When he said this, I began to feel guilty, wondering if I had missed something. After thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing special except the last picture. Seeing that they were still staring at me so strangely, I had to spread my hands helplessly and tell everything I saw. Of course, except for some extremely unique personal questions, I thought I could say everything I could say, including the last strange picture.
When I finished all of them, I found that their faces were even more strange. I couldn't help it anymore and asked, "What did you see?"
Zhang Zuo hesitated and wanted to say it but didn't say it, but Yang Zijiang said first: "I don't know what they saw. What I saw before was the same as yours, and it was all things I did in my life. Even if only I knew this, what I saw in the end was different from you. I saw my own death. I fell to the ground, and you were the only one standing beside me."
I looked stunned, not knowing what this picture means. At this moment, He Xiaojianqiang sighed and said, "Mine is the same."
I turned around and looked at him, and then looked at He Jianqiang and Zhang Zuo. Their faces were not good-looking and nodded at me. Obviously, they saw the same picture. Zhang Zuo said, "I saw a little more than you, and saw the death of everyone, including you, a person I had never seen at that time, so I turned back to tell you. Moreover, my way of death is so miserable. In fact, we are always much more familiar with some mysterious things than others. We don't have much fear of death. But for some reason, the first time I saw my way of death like that, I couldn't help but tremble, even if I think about it now, my heart was cold."
Yang Zijiang and others nodded in the same way. Obviously, they had a deep sense of Zhang Zuo's words. I was completely stunned. For some reason, what I saw was different from them. At this time, Yang Zijiang took a step forward and said, "I can't understand why this is, but I believe that it is true and it will definitely happen in the future. Since everyone has seen themselves die and you are the only one standing by our side alive, then maybe you are the murderer. Why don't you let me solve you now!"
After saying a word, he had already pinched my throat and couldn't help but increase his strength. I didn't expect his movements to be so fast. He had already grabbed his throat without reacting. At this time, he didn't even feel tired of breathing. At this time, he heard He Xiaojianqiang shouting: "Wait a minute!" Then a gust of wind passed by me. Maybe He Xiaojianqiang took action, and my throat was loosened immediately. I rubbed my throat and coughed desperately while looking at Yang Zijiang.
At this time, he was already standing aside and looked at He Xiaojianqiang coldly, as if he was waiting for an explanation. He Xiaojianqiang said, "It is not necessarily the murderer that is him. There is another possibility, that is, we are all dead, but he is not dead. Everything happening here is strange. When I saw that my face was full of horror when I saw that I died, I don't think there is anything in this world that can scare me to death. Since everything is weird and unreasonable, why can't he survive unreasonably as not the murderer?"
He Xiaojianqiang looked at Yang Zijiang and said slowly: "We can follow him together, maybe we can find vitality from him. If it is really him in the end, when something is wrong, we can take action immediately. I believe that with our abilities, it should not be a problem to deal with him."
Because of He Xiaojianqiang's words, we had such a strange team. We got along well along the way, and our wariness gradually faded from the beginning. But Zhang Zuo mentioned the connection between the walking corpse and the piece of paper, and our faces became very ugly.
At this moment, He Xiaojianqiang suddenly said "Huh" and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
