Weng Chenglin, who was fascinated by what he heard, was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became uncontrollably frightened, "Ghost..."
"Besides, try not to look back when near the Jisei Kiln, especially when leaving."
"People who died in the death kiln have obsessions in their hearts. They are eager to go home. Once they look back, they will think that you can't let them go, so there is a high chance that they will be entangled." Li Bai warned.
"But we don't know those people who died in the kilns, so they have no reason to pester us." Sun Yuangang raised his head, looking puzzled.
"You are right, but I think this has something to do with the identities we play tonight."
Li Bai was not prepared to explain too much to them. Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, saying too much would only make things more complicated.
Wu Qiang nodded honestly and said happily: "So that's the case. Thanks to Miss Li's knowledge, otherwise we would have suffered a big loss tonight."
Huang Jun adjusted his glasses, still looking as gentle as before, "Sister Li, do you know what Blood Empress Shehuo is?"
When they came to the village, they were constantly told about the deeds of Empress Zhusheng, some of which were simply unbelievable. In the eyes of the villagers in Heishui Village, Empress Zhusheng was a god, and the villagers were all dependent on the empress.
And the few people present are not fools. The mission in Blackwater Village is extremely dangerous. They will lose one person every night, and all of this is related to the so-called Blood Empress. On the last night, another Blood Empress appeared. How could it be possible? Let them not be afraid.
Li Bai hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, "I'm not very clear about this either."
Time passed slowly in this depressing atmosphere. In order to relieve everyone's nervousness, Yao, Shun, Yu and Li Bai made some efforts, but with little effect.
As the last ray of sunset disappeared below the horizon, night finally fell inevitably.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps on the path outside the courtyard. After the door opened, there were five old ladies standing outside.
The old lady's face was full of wrinkles, and everyone knew the leader. It was Elder Sun who had slapped the crazy woman twice not long ago.
The five old ladies were dressed quite strangely. They were all dressed in black and wore a pair of white-soled cloth shoes. Elder Sun held a wooden box respectfully in his hands, while the other four old ladies each carried a large bamboo basket. It was covered with black cloth, so you couldn't see what was inside.
At this time, Elder Sun's cloudy eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally stopped on Li Bai's face. After a moment, a hoarse voice sounded, "Girl, tonight you take them to the cave in the back mountain to give gifts. You don't have to go in." , silently recite the Zhusheng Empress Mantra outside, the empress will see you happy."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Bai to respond, the other four old ladies took off the backpacks behind them and lined them up outside the door in order. Their movements were uniform, as if they had been trained.
The actions of the four dying old ladies were surprisingly weird, and they were silent the whole time, which made people feel vaguely uneasy.
Elder Sun's heavy eyelids drooped and he motioned to the backpacks, "These backpacks contain everything you need tonight. Girl, remember to open them in order."
"In this first basket are clothes, one for each person. The special one belongs to you, baby girl."
"The second basket contains bricks from earthen jars. Except for you, the girl, each of these thieves and men will take one piece to the cave for use."
"The third basket contains the debts of old age and death, and each of the thieves has a share."
"Inside this fourth backpack is a man's filial belt. Remember, don't tie it around your waist, but around your neck."
After saying this, Elder Sun handed the wooden box forward, and Li Bai took it respectfully. The moment he lowered his head, Li Bai suddenly noticed Elder Sun's shoes, and his pupils couldn't help but tremble.
Elder Sun seemed to have found nothing, and still had the same half-dead attitude. "The things here are for thieves. Remember, if something happens in the cave, the things here can save you."
After explaining the matter, Elder Sun did not hesitate and left directly with the other four old ladies. They seemed to be faltering, but they were very fast. They reached the corner in the blink of an eye, and then turned around and disappeared.
"What are you looking at?" Yao Shunyu noticed that Lu Zhangyuan was still staring blankly in the direction where the old ladies left.
Lu Zhangyuan turned his head and looked at Yao Shunyu with some doubts, "It's strange. When Mrs. Sun came in the evening, she still needed help. She couldn't walk on a shaky road, but look at her pace just now."
At this moment, everyone suddenly noticed that Li Bai's face changed and became extremely ugly, "There is something wrong with those old ladies. Their dress, and... and the cloth shoes on their feet. Their cloth shoes are the same regardless of left or right."
"the same……"
Weng Chenglin, the timidest one, shrank his neck. He didn't notice this just now, but this scene was weird no matter how you thought about it.
"Only the dead man's shoes don't distinguish between left and right."
Following Li Bai's words, the emotions of everyone present instantly became tense, and the haggard faces of the five old ladies seemed to corroborate this point.
"No matter what they are, we just have to complete the task. If we can drive them into the water on the bridge, everyone can leave alive tonight."
Yao, Shun, and Yu successfully diverted everyone's attention to the bamboo baskets outside the door. The bamboo baskets were relatively large and covered with a piece of black cloth, making them look even more mysterious.
Lifting the black cloth on the first bamboo basket, underneath were neatly folded clothes. The clothes were brand new and the fabric felt very comfortable.
There is a piece of cloth sewn on the back of each piece of clothing, with a surname crookedly written on it in black pen.
The six characters are Sun Yao, Weng Luan and Lu Wu, which are much more straightforward now. Each of the six men wears the one corresponding to his or her last name.
Then came the second bamboo basket. The bamboo basket was lifted up first, but this bamboo basket was much heavier. There were neatly arranged bricks in it, a total of 6 bricks.
Yao, Shun, and Yu stretched out their hands and took out a piece. The first thing they felt was ice. The ice stung their hands, and then it felt heavy. It was much heavier than ordinary bricks.
Yao, Shun, and Yu seemed to realize something while staring at the bricks. He bent his fingers and tapped the bricks lightly, and then took out another brick. When the two bricks collided, they made the sound of gold and stone.
"It's a tomb brick." Li Bai's eyes flashed with surprise, "The sound quality is quite high, where did they remove it from?"
Thinking of the tunnels and squares beneath the clay figurine Zhang's house yesterday, Li Bai suddenly realized that that place did not seem to have been excavated in recent decades. Perhaps it was originally an underground tomb.
When he lifted the third bamboo basket, Huang Jun, who was helping him, suddenly frowned, "It's so light. This... this bamboo basket seems to be empty."
