Just from this half body, it can be seen that this should be an old woman wearing cloth shoes.
Probably because it is near water, there is a damp and musty smell in the whole cave.
Half of the arched stone door was open, and Gu Jiu walked straight in without hesitation.
Su Ying and Xiao Qi followed closely behind.
After entering this door and walking along a rather depressing stone path, the whole space suddenly became bright.
I saw a moon-shaped cave about a hundred feet above my head. Moonlight was pouring down from above, so half of the cave was in the moonlight and the other half was in shadow.
There were only two rows of wooden shelves in this wide cave.
These wooden shelves are at least 20 to 30 feet high and are filled with jars.
Because the shelf is too high, people can't help but feel a little insignificant.
These jars look like the ones you'd use to store kimchi at home, nothing special about them.
But they are packed so densely on the shelves that there are too many of them.
Su Ying couldn't help but ask, "What's in this jar?"
Gu Jiu said: "Open one and see?"
He said, "Let's open one and see," but he didn't do anything himself. Instead, he looked at Su Ying and Xiao Qi.
Su Ying understood Gu Jiu's idea and couldn't help but let out a long breath. She said, "Let me do it this time."
So she walked to the nearest shelf, carefully picked up a jar, and placed it on the ground.
Su Ying appeared calm on the surface, but she was no less panicked than Xiao Qi on the inside.
At this time, Xiao Qi had already hidden behind Gu Jiu, raised his butt and looked at Su Ying, saying: "Master, be careful."
Su Ying nodded, made up her mind, and opened the lid.
The next moment, Su Ying was so frightened that she took several steps back and crashed into Gu Jiu's arms. She said in panic, "Head!"
Is there a human head in the jar?
Gu Jiu put his arms around Su Ying's slender waist and patted her belly to comfort her.
Then he walked straight over.
I saw that there was indeed a human head in the jar. No, to be more precise, it was a person.
Just like the person in the strange fish before, with a big head and a small body.
The man's eyes had completely rotted away, like two holes, with his mouth constantly opening and closing inside, like a fish stranded on the shore.
Looking at this horrifying scene, Gu Jiu couldn't help but wonder, were they taken out from the fish's belly, or were they going to be put into the fish's belly?
Chapter 35 Tongue
The person in the jar kept opening and closing his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he could only spit out bubbles without making any sound.
There was silence all around. Thinking that the shelves were full of such "people" in the jars, Su Ying and Xiao Qi couldn't help but tremble.
There are so many jars here, so how many people like this are there?
Gu Jiu covered the jar without saying a word, as if by covering the jar he could suppress the overflowing fear.
But fear still spread among Su Ying and Xiao Qi, so that their faces turned as pale as paper.
Seeing that the two looked unhappy, Gu Jiu couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?"
Su Ying adjusted her breathing and said, "Not bad."
Xiao Qi cried out, "Junior Brother, it's too scary here. Let's go back."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior Sister, you are the courageous one in the academy. How can you be so cowardly at this time?"
Xiao Qi looked worried and said, "Whoever is scared can just leave. It's not like they haven't seen ghosts before."
Looking at Xiaoqi like this, Gu Jiu couldn't help but find her cute.
It’s like a little boy entering a haunted house. He is obviously scared to death, but when he thinks about his girlfriend who is not afraid, he has no choice but to go in.
There are two rows of shelves on both sides. Because they are very high, it feels like there is no end in sight.
When the three people gradually put these shelves behind their minds, what appeared in their eyes was a wooden house.
The wooden house is not small, embedded at the end of the mountain wall, with more than ten lanterns hanging on it.
The lanterns were wrapped in red paper, and the flames shone through the red paper onto the ground, looking like blood.
At this time, Su Ying couldn't help but frown and asked, "What's hanging in the yard?"
I saw that the small courtyard in front of the house was full of thin lines, with some blue-black things on the lines, and the shapes were a bit strange.
Gu Jiu said: "Come closer and take a look."
The three of them quickly descended the stairs and approached the courtyard.
Gu Jiu didn't rush into the yard. Instead, he looked at the things on the thin threads and asked, "Aunt, Senior Sister, what do you think these things are?"
Su Ying frowned and shook her head.
Xiao Qi said tremblingly: "Why does it feel like a pig's tongue?"
"Pig tongue?" Gu Jiu asked in confusion.
"Yes, I was the one who dried the bacon for the New Year in the yard. I feel that the shape of these things looks like pig tongues." Xiaoqi explained.
Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Did you notice just now that the person in the jar has no tongue?"
Hearing this, Xiao Qi and Su Ying couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
Xiao Qi hesitated and said, "Are these human tongues?"
Gu Jiu nodded and said, "That's pretty much it. It seems the owner inside also likes to eat tongue."
Xiao Qi shook his head frantically and said, "I won't eat tongue again this year."
Because of nervousness, she felt a little tongue-tied when she said the word "tongue".
At this time, Xiao Qi hurriedly looked at Gu Jiu and said, "Should we still go in?"
Gu Jiu said: "We are already here. The master came to pick us up with good intentions. How can we not see him?"
After walking for such a long distance, Xiao Qi had gotten used to the terrifying atmosphere. He couldn't help but pound his chest to cheer himself up.
So, Gu Jiu took the two of them into the yard.
The yard was full of human tongues hanging, some of which had turned black and purple.
Thinking of so many people talking around them, Su Ying and Xiao Qi felt their scalps tingling, and Gu Jiu also felt a little uncomfortable.
And the wild god’s lair should be ahead. Will there be something more terrifying waiting for them?
Gu Jiu had to admit that it was not easy to develop courage.
Especially the two rookies following behind him, they obviously still have a long way to go, unlike him who is an experienced driver.
The experienced Gu Jiu also thought about whether he should let his senior sister and aunt just be responsible for being beautiful, but in the end he rejected this idea.
Xiaoqi and Su Ying are not vases, they are human beings.
People always have their own ideas and dreams, but in this strange world, not to mention dreams, you have to make great efforts to live a good life.
Now Su Ying and Xiao Qi are still tied to this dangerous guy. If they don’t work hard to grow, something bad is likely to happen.
For example, tonight, if I hadn't set up a star-turning formation in advance, my senior sister would probably be dead.
Even tigers take naps, and Xiaoqi and Su Ying are not with him sometimes. He cannot tie them together all the time. In the future, many problems must be solved by them personally, so letting them grow is an essential step.
He could help a lot with their realm, but the courage of the two could only be gained through practice.
In this world, courage is sometimes more important than strength.
After walking through this very unpleasant yard, the wooden house is in front of us.
The wooden house is embedded in the mountain wall and looks like some kind of shrine.
Gu Jiu walked to the wooden door and found that it was ajar.
As a guest, Gu Jiu did not hesitate. He pushed open the wooden door with a creak and walked in.
Behind the wooden door is a very spacious bedroom.
The reason why it is called a bedroom is because the bed located in the middle of the room is very conspicuous.
But if it is a bedroom, this room seems too wide, it is half the size of a main stadium.
The furnishings in the room were simple: a bronze mirror, a bed, a wooden table, and a few stools, that was all, so the room looked very empty.
It can even be described as having an unobstructed view.
There was an oil lamp on the table, so the room was not dark.
Humans are afraid of unknown things. Although this house is large, the end can be seen at a glance and there is no place to hide, so it greatly reduces Su Ying and Xiao Qi's sense of insecurity.
Before entering the house, they even imagined many terrible scenes, such as the owner of the house eating human tongues.
And now, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The owner of the house was not there, at least not in this room.
Gu Jiu looked around, trying to find some clues, but the house was too simple and there was nothing to find, so he even started to fix his hairstyle in front of the mirror.
Being nervous is a very energy-draining thing.
Xiao Qi couldn't help feeling very tired, so he sat directly on the empty stone bed.
Seeing that the two were a little too frightened, Gu Jiu said, "Rest for a while and wait for the situation to change."
But the next moment, Xiaoqi suddenly screamed and sat on the ground.
Gu Jiu hurried over and asked, "What's going on?"
"There's hair! There's hair on the bed!" Xiao Qi said in panic.
Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked towards the bed.
I saw that the originally simple stone bed now had a tuft of black hair.
Can stones grow hair?
At this time, an old voice sounded - "The distinguished guest has finally arrived. I fell asleep because of this."
Chapter 36 Side by side with the sun
The sound was extremely dull, like a broken bell filled with wind.
At this time, a lot of hairs appeared on the surface of the stone bed again, as if the growth rate of weeds had been accelerated countless times.
Immediately afterwards, the bed shook, a puff of green smoke came out, and then an old woman about ten feet tall appeared in the sight of Gu Jiu and the others.
Before, they thought that the owner was not there, but it turned out that the owner was here from beginning to end, and just turned into a bed.
The old woman stood there, her face full of wrinkles, her body covered with black hair, and her eyes were green. If she had to be compared with the sculpture, the cat's features on her body were much more obvious at this moment.
Looking at the other person's height, which was half a head taller than themselves, and his fat body, Gu Jiu and the other two finally understood why the bedroom was built so big.
The bedroom was too big for them, but it was just right for this thing in front of them.
The cat-faced old woman held a stone bar in her hand, which was covered with blood-colored veins and looked like a walking stick.
What was even more eye-catching was that it was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes.
A pair of very large and eye-catching embroidered shoes.
Su Ying and Xiao Qi had already retreated to the back out of fear, while only Gu Jiu stood in front, looking up at each other.
Judging from their size, this is a typical case of a kid versus a big guy.
But the "little boy" Gu Jiu looked calm, as if he didn't see the scary old woman in front of him.
Seeing this, the cat-faced old woman couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You're so brave! Not only do you dare to bring people to the appointment, but you also dare to confront me. I haven't seen such a courageous person in a long time."
Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Did you send someone to do it before?"
Facing Gu Jiu's questioning, the cat-faced old woman's expression suddenly became serious, and the candlelight on the table swayed, making it look even more eerie and terrifying.
