Chapter 131 The beating heart
After hesitating for a while, I walked forward and reached out to slowly pull the red cloth off.
Without all the strange scenes I imagined, and without any dangerous things, it would be a relatively large tablet.
There are only three blood-red characters engraved on the tablet - Huang Zhaoran!
When I saw this name, my heart was fluctuating a lot.
Huang Zhaoran is Huang Yuru's daughter, Huang Yuru is the patriarch of Taohua Village, the predecessor of Yin Village, and finally became a blood corpse sac.
After her death, I don’t know anything about Huang Zhaoran, but according to Huang Yuru, their family is the tomb guardian of the village and has refined corpse sacs for generations, but the chance of bleeding corpse sacs is very small.
This Huang Zhaoran, I think, I was probably a person who should not be underestimated in the village back then?
The location of her tablet in the ancestral hall is enough to show that she may have become the patriarch later.
No, no!
My mind suddenly thrust, interrupting my thoughts, and my attention was suddenly focused on the word "Class Chief"!
If Huang Zhaoran became the patriarch, then, was it before Xia Xiaowei's mother, or was it Xia Xiaowei's mother herself?
No, probably not. Xia Xiaowei's mother's name should have the word "yu". Huang Zhaoran's name does not have this word. It seems that I'm thinking too much.
Now that things have come to this point, it seems that my previous guess is still biased. This tablet does not seem to have any big mystery on the surface.
But I still don’t give up. Maybe what mechanism is the tablet?
I plucked up the tablet slowly. When I was hanging in the air, I waited for a while but found no mechanism.
After I took it down, I looked at the back again.
When I saw this, I discovered something very strange.
The front of this tablet was only engraved with the three words Huang Zhaoran, but the back was engraved with several names from the bottom to the top. I counted it and there were six.
What does this mean?
Isn’t it unlucky to engrave the names of six other people behind one’s tablet?
But I don’t understand it either. I thought that when I had the chance, I could ask Grandma Yin, maybe I could ask some questions.
I put the tablet back gently, closed my hands and prayed for a while, and then covered the red cloth again.
After covering it, my heart was still beating, and I pulled out another handful of sandalwood, lit it, bowed piously, and prayed to Huang Zhaoran in my heart for all the words and words that Huang Yuru left to Huang Zhaoran.
After doing it, insert sandalwood into the incense burner.
But as soon as I tried my best, a gust of cold wind broke out from the ground, and the sandalwood was blowing out. The incense ash in the incense burner rushed upwards and rushed into my eyes, making my eyes burn.
It took me a while to get used to it, rub my eyes, the whirlwind was gone, my heart was full of swelling, what's going on?
Seeing that half of the incense ash was scraped off from the incense burner, I shook my head, lit the sandalwood again, bowed, and inserted the sandalwood into the incense burner.
The incense burner is very big, and there is a lot of incense ash, but after being blown away by the whirlwind, less than half of it remained. When the sandalwood was inserted, it was a little unstable.
I used a little force, but unexpectedly, I might not have counted my hands and broke the sandalwood in one go!
Sandalwood sprinkled on the table and my hands were burned. I looked at the broken sandalwood head and felt extremely depressed. What happened tonight?
When I inserted it just now, I felt like I had encountered something particularly hard. At that time, I thought it was less incense ash and I had inserted it to the end, but now I pulled out the sandalwood head and didn’t insert it much?
Is there something under the incense burner?
I reached out and fiddled with the incense ash for a few times, and soon, I really took out a key from the bottom.
This kind of key is made of bronze and has complicated tooth patterns on it, so it is difficult to copy it.
I held the key, and my mind was dizzy and excited. I looked at the west room in a blink of an eye. This key was probably the lock on the west room!
I calmed down for a moment, walked towards the west room with the key, and my hands were trembling because I really didn't know what I would see inside after the door opened.
However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, I will hate myself.
After trying several times, I inserted the key into the keyhole. I only heard a series of subtle sounds coming from the lock. It seemed that the mechanism was operating.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the lock was opened. I trembled with my hands and pulled it open and reached out to push the door.
It was a thick iron door. When I pushed it open, I used a lot of effort, with a creaking sound. When the crack in the door was exposed, a cold air came towards me.
This is an ice storage like an ice storage, sealed on all sides, without any decorations inside, and some are just an ice coffin in the center.
The room was extremely cold, but apart from the ice coffin, I didn't see any other ice cubes or anything else. The Yin Village was not powered up, so it was even more impossible for air conditioning and freezers to exist.
Then, there is only one explanation, that is, under the house is an ice cellar. As for how this ice cellar was formed, it is no longer within my consideration.
I walked towards the ice coffin step by step, and I was actually quite scared. I was afraid that there would be some thousand-year-old zombies in the ice coffin, so I jumped up and bit my neck!
But because Bai Ling'er's experience of biting me, I know that evil things are still afraid of my blood, so I am not afraid of being sucked by blood, but if I bite it hard, it may not be possible to bite my head off!
When I stood beside the ice coffin, I was standing tall and looked down. Through the lid of the ice coffin, I could see a pale woman lying inside.
Just a glance, I felt that I was not breathing smoothly, because this woman and Xia Xiaowei were almost carved from the same mold, and I immediately confirmed her identity - the patriarch of Yin Village.
I thought she had been buried long ago, but I didn't expect the body to be preserved so well.
It is said that she was in her forties when she died, but from my perspective, she took great care of herself during her lifetime and looked only thirty-three or four.
She was wearing a white gauze dress, which was tightly attached to her body because of the frozen relationship.
I observed it carefully again, because I don’t understand what the spokesperson’s purpose of freezing her here?
But this time, I discovered something creepy again, and her heart was still beating!
Is she not dead yet?
It doesn't look like it.
Because, if she is alive, she will breathe faintly. Even if she moves, her whole chest should move with her, not just the part of her heart.
I reached out to push the lid of the ice coffin. I used a lot of effort but couldn't open it.
At this moment, I heard a burst of laughter.
The laughter was like a person's voice, but also like a person's voice, and it was mixed together and it was hard to tell the difference.
I quickly retracted my hand, and the laughter disappeared.
I hesitated for a moment, pushed the lid of the ice coffin again, and the laughter suddenly rang again.
I was so scared that I took two steps back in a row, because this time I heard it clearly that the laughter came from the ice coffin, and it was a mixed sound, belonging to several people.
My temples were beating, and my mind was in chaos. I really couldn't tell it. I just felt that the ice coffin and the woman in the ice coffin were hiding a huge secret.
At this moment, I heard Xia Xiaowei turning over in the east room, which immediately pulled my thoughts back. If Xia Xiaowei saw the scene in front of her and saw her mother who had been thinking about day and night for more than 20 years, she was lying in this ice coffin, would she be excited?
I feel like she will collapse!
No, I can't take this risk. Anyway, now that I know the key is in the incense burner, I can always find an opportunity to come in and find out. It's better to be discovered by Xia Xiaowei for the time being.
So, I quickly retreated, locked the door, put the key back in the original place, lit a handful of sandalwood, and inserted it into the incense burner, so that there would be a lot more incense ash tomorrow morning.
After doing all this, I climbed back to the bed, and didn't have the same bed as Xia Xiaowei. I struggled for a while and fell asleep in a daze.
I slept quite peacefully this time, but it seemed like I always heard women laughing in my sleep. After waking up, I attributed to the laughter I heard in the ice coffin in the west room that may have caused a psychological shadow on me. It would be fine if I forget it in a few days.
Xia Xiaowei was very tired. After waking up, she quickly washed up and left after breakfast. She didn't talk to me for a long time. However, when she left the room, she smelled the strong smell of sandalwood and sneezes twice, allowing me to open the door more during the day to dissipate the incense.
After breakfast in the morning, I served a large handful of sandalwood, then knelt on the futon, thinking about things with my eyes closed.
What exactly is the woman's heart undulating in the ice coffin?
The probability of heartbeat is almost zero, and what's going on with that laughter?
What exactly does the spokesperson want to use the woman in the ice coffin for?
At this moment, the golden silkworm Gu that had been nestling in the peach blossom pendant crawled out, squirming his body, obviously he was hungry and wanted to eat it.
I quickly took out another ghost crystal of good quality and gave it to it and let it hold it and eat it. If it doesn't eat this thing, it will have to drink my blood. I still remember the pain.
Pain?
I suddenly thought of the time when the golden silkworm was still a little black worm, didn’t it just live in my heart?
So, will the woman have some worms in her heart?
Could it be the mother insect of love?
Could that woman's body be the mother?
I feel that my mind is very confused. I will immediately connect the little bits of information, and I will think about it randomly. The more I think about it, the more mess it becomes.
No, I have to calm down. Only after calming down can I correctly analyze the truth of the matter. If one wrong step is taken, it will cause big problems.
