"etc!"
Yue Guanchao suddenly became alert. He rubbed his eyes and looked around. The cell returned to normal.
It turned out that it was because he fell asleep just now, Yue Guanchao guessed as he looked at himself lying on the execution platform.
Just as he was about to get up, his fingertips seemed to touch something. When he raised his eyes, antique scrolls appeared on the table from time to time.
No, when he was observing the cell just now, he specifically used his flashlight to shine on the execution platform. There was nothing on it except piles of hemp rope used for hangings.
Now, a scroll appeared, and he had to guess what the dream just now meant.
Yue Guanchao stood up and rubbed his sleepy brain. He picked up the scroll on the ground and read it carefully in his hand.
This scroll is about half an arm long, about the thickness of a child's wrist. The shaft is heavy to hold, and is mostly made of iron. The upper and lower shaft heads are carved with lifelike bull heads.
He pulled the string, and the scroll was no longer restrained by the string. The three-foot-long, one-and-a-half-foot-wide silk cloth unfolded with a splash, and fell to the ground tilted in the blink of an eye.
Without the scroll entanglement, the words on the iron scroll came into view clearly: "Secrets of Zu Xian"
When Yue Guanchao saw these four words, he woke up from his drowsiness. Could it be that this thing is the way to lift the curse that Wu Yueniang is looking for!
"Why did this thing suddenly appear on the execution platform and let me find it?"
He held the silk cloth horizontally and looked at it carefully. The scroll was framed with silkworm cocoon paper. The colors were bold and the patterns were exquisite. Although it was not as exquisite as the fine brushwork of the ancient masters, the pattern and shape were not inferior to others.
It can be seen that it depicts the ancient sacrificial scene in Wu Coffin Town.
In the picture, two steep peaks stand at opposite ends, and there is a majestic ancient altar between the two peaks!
On top of the altar, a giant bronze tree grew into the altar, which was covered with various sacrificial gold vessels. Under the tree stood the Great Xianbei Witch wearing a sacrificial mask...
Wait, two steep mountains!
Yue Guanchao carefully observed the mountains in the scroll and became excited. These two mountains were clearly the twin peaks that looked like crab claws when they came to Wu Coffin Town.
However, the twin peaks in the painting seemed too far apart, not as close as they had seen.
If the scroll is not drawn wrong, there is only one possibility left:
When the artist first painted, the two peaks had not tilted toward each other and were two independent mountains.
Could it be that some disaster happened to these two mountains later, so that they tilted towards each other and turned into one peak?
He once again thought about the sacrificial gold vessels on the giant bronze tree, and thought - maybe the treasure of the previous dynasty that Tang Dianrong was looking for was in that Xiezhe Mountain!
"If this picture is a treasure map, then why would Ah Ying's parents say that there is a way to lift the curse in the picture? Could it be that they..."
Yue Guanchao originally wanted to find the "Secrets of Zuxian" and handed the ancient scroll to Aying's parents.
Now it seems that Aying's parents are lying. There is no so-called method to relieve the curse in the ancient scrolls.
Thinking of this, he became suspicious of the words of Ying's parents. They were not looking for a way to lift the curse for Ying, but just for the treasure from the past.
"Guan Tide, did you find anything here?"
Yue Guanchao noticed that his companion was coming here, and he quietly hid the ancient scroll in his backpack.
While he was talking, Lu Fengjian and Song Siyuan walked in with flashlights on. At the same time, he also noticed something strange in the crowd.
Just now, Aying's parents came in and saw the execution stake. There was clearly panic in their eyes, and they didn't seem to be as open-minded as others, which meant that they had something evil in mind.
"There wasn't even a ghost. I was in the torture chamber just now and found that there were a lot of torture instruments. I thought there were things in the room inside. When I came in, I didn't see anything except a hanger. .”
"Is the "Secrets of Ancestor Xian" you are talking about here?"
Yue Guanchao scratched the back of his head and deliberately changed the topic.
"Maybe, "The Secret of Zu Xian" is not here. We can look for it elsewhere and we can always find it."
Wu Yueniang's eyes dodge, and Zhong Liangsheng's behavior is sneaky, which shows that his guess is true.
Yue Guanchao calmly led everyone out of the punishment platform.
Not long after they stepped out of the sin ring, black shadows rustled in the gray fog, and a group of white-haired ravens flew overhead again.
When Wu Yueniang and the others heard the ringing of the waist bell, their eyes turned from trance to fear.
"Mom, dad, do you know what these ravens and waist bells mean? Why do bad things happen every time we see them?"
Ying has experienced so many strange things and understands that these ravens are not malicious, but she needs to get the exact answer from her parents.
Zhong Liangsheng looked above his head and hesitated and said: "The evil god, they are...the evil god's messengers. Seeing them means that the evil god is coming. Let's go back quickly. I will take you to hide. They can eat people."
Before Aying's parents could finish speaking, they ran away like crazy. Aying was afraid that her parents would get lost again, so she followed closely behind them.
Yue Guanchao and the others were very curious about what A-ying's parents said about the hiding place, so they followed Wu Yueniang and Zhong Liangsheng through unfamiliar streets and alleys and ran towards the tallest building.
Looking down at the map of the witch coffin, the tallest building is called the Witch Sacrifice Shrine!
