Holy Bone

Chapter 399 Alien offering treasure, human face painted pottery pot
That night.

Jin'an and Kulijiang changed camels all the way and finally arrived at Yueqiang Kingdom before midnight.

Outside Yueqiang City in the dark night, there is still a circle of white salt used to exorcise demons. The last time Jinan and the others came to Yueqiang City at night, they were blocked outside the city gate for a night. Now it is not what it used to be. The guards on the city wall all knew Ku Lijiang, and opened the city gate to let the two of them enter the city.

The citizens of the Yueqiang Kingdom who were sleeping soundly in the house heard the sound of camels running on the street, and opened the windows curiously to check the situation, but the camels had already galloped away and saw nothing.

The Yueqiang King's Palace is an ancient castle with a golden roof. During the day, the golden roof of these ancient castles is resplendent and resplendent, but now only the black and blurred outlines remain.

Kulijiang's status in the Yueqiang Kingdom is not low, and the two had a smooth journey and met the Princess of the Yueqiang Kingdom, Gu Lizal.

The name Gulizal means the most beautiful flower blooming in the desert. When you see the princess, her face is pale and bloodless, her body is thin and haggard, her spirit is sluggish, her eyes are in a trance, empty and unfocused. Depressed mentally devastated environment.

Many people gathered in Gulizar's boudoir, and the whole room was lit with candles. The floor, table, balcony, and window sill were as bright as day.

The children in the desert are very brave. Although Gulizal was haggard and could not hide the fear and anxiety in her pupils, she bit her lips tightly and did not let herself be afraid to cry.

"Princess! This is the Daoist Jin'an of Kangding Kingdom I mentioned!"

"Daoist Jin'an, this is the most beautiful flower in our Yueqiang Kingdom, Princess Gulizar."

Seeing that the princess was safe and sound, Kulijiang finally let go of his worries for several days. After his brief introduction, Jin An looked up at the night outside and went straight to the point.

"Black energy is emerging among people, and the palace of calamity is full of black energy. Recently, it has indeed been entangled with unclean things. Whether it is the Palace of Life or the Palace of Baoshou, it is dark and dull. It is blocked by black energy. There must be a disaster of blood and light. It is entangled with your things. It's very fierce, and I clearly don't want to let you go."

"Princess, have you done anything recently, which evil god has you inadvertently angered? I heard that your first nightmare started five or six days ago, princess. You can recall whether you have said any angry words or It smashed something."

After Jin An finished speaking a few words, he began to look at the room in front of him again.

"Huh?" He snorted lightly.

"The layout of this room is simple. There are many women's necessities and pink curtains missing, and there is also a bed missing. This room is not the princess's boudoir. Take me to the princess's boudoir. I want to know if Heck buys Tisa How did Man die?"

Gu Lizal did not expect that the Han Taoist priest that Uncle Kulijiang talked about would be so young, and he looked like he was just in his early 20s.

Gulizal was thin and haggard, and she refused the lady who wanted to help her. As soon as she mentioned her boudoir, fear subconsciously appeared in her eyes. She was silent at first, and finally summoned up the courage to say with difficulty: "This is indeed not my boudoir. I have the same nightmare every night, dreaming that there is a woman who can’t see clearly, sleeping with me back to back under the bed... Whenever I try to see her face clearly in the dream, the woman under the bed will turn her head and talk to her I looked at each other, and I was immediately awakened from the nightmare..."

As if it took all of his strength just to say these words, Gulizal sat back on the chair with a pale complexion, gasping for breath.

"I haven't closed my eyes for two days now. I can only take a nap during the day. I don't dare to sleep for too long each time. Since the shaman died, I am now very afraid that I will see the woman under the bed after I close my eyes." Gu Li Zall's face paled.

Looking at the haggard Princess of Yueqiang Kingdom, Jin An admired the courage of this princess. At least she was scared, and she didn't break down and cry. If it were an ordinary person who had the same horrible nightmare for so many days, even if she didn't break down, it would be too late. Afraid to cry out.

Admiration is all admiration, he still has to remind the princess of Yueqiang Kingdom one thing: "Princess, you are the one who is entangled with dirty things, not the house or bed. Let you go."

"The dirty thing that entangles you has a clear goal from the beginning. She just wants you to die. No matter how far the princess hides, it is useless to have many people to protect her. It will only increase the death of innocent ordinary people. Unless The princess can hide all the way to the ends of the earth without sleeping or resting."

"Since everything started in the princess' boudoir, everything should end there, lest more innocent people die."

Hearing Jin An's words, Ku Lijiang's expression changed, but he was interrupted by Gulizal before he could speak.

Although the princess of the Yueqiang Kingdom had fear and fear, there was also a flash of perseverance in her eyes: "Uncle Kulijiang, I can't hide in the palace forever just because I'm afraid of the desert storm. A beautiful flower that cannot withstand any wind and rain except for its beauty. Gulizal is not only the most beautiful flower in the desert, but also the most tenacious flower. I know that it is not the way to escape all the time. Lizar's life, I, Gulizar, am willing to face it bravely."

Gulzar started to ask the maid to pack up her things, and decided to return to her original room for the night.

……

princess boudoir.

It's only been two days since no one lived there, and as soon as Jin'an entered the room, he smelled a very faint, very strange musty smell.

Especially the weaker maids would feel goosebumps all over their bodies as soon as they entered the room.

However, a large number of palace guards and maids filed in, as well as the light of candles, which soon brought warmth and popularity back to the place.

The maid cleaned up quickly, and the princess moved in again.

This is the first time for Jin An to enter the princess's boudoir. He found that these people in the desert especially like golden things, whether it is carpets, lamp holders, tables, big beds...all are inlaid with gold. Very realistic.

While no one was paying attention, Jin An secretly weighed the weight of the gold lamp holder. My good fellow, it is heavy. This is a solid gold lamp holder, not painted with gold paint or wrapped in gold foil.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the rich and powerful royal family, even if it is a small desert country, it is so rich and powerful that it uses gold as a lamp holder.

But if you think about it carefully, the resources in the desert are poor. Apart from gold, which is easy to store and collect, it seems that there are no other valuable things that are easy to store.

Jin An put down the golden lamp holder, looked around the princess's boudoir, stepped on the thick and soft Persian carpet, walked to the princess' big bed, lifted the sheet and bent down to look under the bed, there was nothing abnormal.

He asked the princess of the Yueqiang Kingdom, "Princess, where did the Shaman Hekmati hide when he kept vigil for you that night?"

Since returning to the boudoir, Gulizal has become a lot more silent. Maybe even she is very clear that tonight is extremely dangerous, maybe... she will lose her life. Hearing Jin An's question, she raised her finger in the closet silently direction.

Jin An was taken aback.

Not only hiding in the princess's boudoir, but also hiding in the princess' closet, this shaman is quite good at choosing places.

When Jin An pushed away the luxurious wardrobe wrapped in gold, there were no women's clothes in the wardrobe, only a pair of shoe prints.

Shoe print size is large.

Not a women's size.

It's for men.

It seems that since the Hekmaiti shaman's accident, this princess boudoir has not been cleaned and stayed in.

Jin'an wanted to reproduce what happened to the Shaman Hekmaiti that night, so he checked the shoe prints, walked into the wardrobe, and closed the door facing the outside.

This Hekmat shaman is really good at finding a place. After closing the cabinet door, the line of sight can just be facing the big bed of the princess. After adjusting the angle, people can just squat down and see everything under the bed, even if there is one more person can also see.

The princess boudoir has a lot of space, and the closet is also very spacious, so people can see the situation under the bed in the closet.

While Jin An was still squatting in the closet and meditating, Ku Lijiang saw that Jin An had locked himself in the closet alone for a long time, so he came to the closet with some concern, and called softly: "Master Jin'an, you Are you all right? Have you discovered something new?"

It is also difficult because Ku Lijiang, a man as strong as the Black Iron Tower, is usually used to speaking loudly, but now he has to deliberately lower his voice and speak softly.

Afraid of offending Jin An, the only exorcist who could be found.

Jin An pushed open the cabinet door and came out, saying it was nothing, and briefly stated what he had found. After hearing this, Ku Lijiang asked in surprise, "Master Jin'an, are you planning to hide in the closet tonight?"

Jin An chuckled, but just shook his head and didn't speak.

He continued to observe every detail of the princess's boudoir, checking for any negligence.

Logically speaking, he should go to see the corpse of Hekmaiti Shaman first tonight. Maybe there are more clues on the corpse, but time is too tight tonight, and the corpse is not in the palace. To waste time, he has quite a few yellow talismans sealed four times, and there are many tricks at the bottom of the box, but he is not afraid of a desert devil.

……

The night was dark, and it was already the middle of the night.

At this time, there were only three people left in the room, the princesses of Yueqiang Kingdom, Gulizal, Jin'an, and Kulijiang.

Jin An asked those guards and maids to step down, and those ordinary people staying here will not help. Maybe when he fights with the woman under the princess' bed, he will still have to take care of the safety of these ordinary people.

As for Ku Lijiang, he insisted on staying.

The last time the Hekmat shaman was killed by the devil, the princess in the room almost had an accident, and it was almost too late to save her, so this time he will stick to the princess no matter what.

He had watched the princess grow up since he was a child, and he couldn't just sit back and watch the princess fall into danger without being indifferent.

What's more, as the personal guard of the Yueqiang King's Palace, he has won the trust of the king's family. It is his duty to protect the members of the royal family.

Faced with Ku Lijiang's insistence on staying, Jin'an didn't care. Ku Lijiang was very skilled and full of energy and blood, and ordinary evil spirits couldn't get close to him.

call--

The desert night wind blows into the house along the gauze tent of the pavilion, and the lamps and candles in the room sway gently in the breeze.

Kulijiang gripped the handle of the knife on the table nervously.

"It's just a very ordinary breeze, don't need to be too nervous." Jin An looked at Ku Lijiang, who was in a state of war, and said with a smile, telling him to relax and not be nervous.

at this time.

Jin An and Ku Lijiang sat in front of the famous wooden table.

Princess Gulizal was lying on the bed covered with a silk quilt, unable to sleep because of fear.

Ku Lijiang, a big man with a big beard, lightly touched his nose with his fingers to hide his embarrassment: "Daoist Jin'an, how are we going to kill the devil tonight?"

"Wait."

"Wait? When we sit here like this, the devil will not dare to come because we are so many people? Shall we hide in the closet like the Hekmaiti shaman and give the devil a sneak attack? Hide in the closet And it happens to be able to see the movement under the bed all the time?"

"No need."

"why?"

Jin An's answer was straightforward: "If she doesn't show up tonight, I'll go directly to her and chop her up."

Ku Lijiang looked shocked: "Master Jin'an, you mean...you have already found out where the devil comes from?"

No wonder he was full of astonishment and astonishment at this time. Jin An had only returned to Yueqiang Kingdom for a short while, and he never left his sight for half a step from the beginning to the end. How did he find the devil's hiding place so quickly? of?

"I don't know where the devil is hiding, but your princess must know. It depends on whether your princess is willing to answer our question." Jin An looked at the princess of Yueqiang Kingdom who was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, dazed and unable to sleep. .

Ku Lijiang looked at Gu Lizal in doubt: "Princess, what is going on?"

At this point, the two people in the room were waiting for an answer.

The night wind outside the pavilion was still blowing into the room. Gu Lizal lifted the quilt subconsciously, as if to embolden himself with the warmth in the quilt: "About half a year ago, a group of mysterious people came from Yueqiang Kingdom. Travelers in the desert, they bluntly said that they wanted to find my father, saying that they had the most precious treasure in their hands to dedicate to my father..."

"What they presented to their father was not a very precious treasure, but a faience pot with several faces painted on them. I couldn't tell whether those faces were male or female. I have seen them several times, but I always forget them every time. The specific appearance..."

"Obviously I was looking at the worthless clay pot, but I found that my father began to become abnormal...Holding the clay pot with a human face all day long, I put the pot on the opposite side of the table for breakfast, and put it on the opposite side of the table for lunch I also like to put the clay pot on the opposite side of the table for dinner. Later, I even put the clay pot on the pillow on the other side of the bed even when I was sleeping. My father and king have always loved my mother. Since my mother died of a serious illness for more than ten years, he has been I can't forget my mother...he said that the clay pot was my mother, and he saw my mother in the pot. I don't know whether my father was missing him and went crazy, or it was the human-faced pot that drove my father. crazy."

Gulzar hid in the quilt and shed tears, both from fear, fear, and helplessness to her relatives.

"What happened next started to scare me more and more!"

"After a period of time... I found that...the father's illness became more and more serious. The more normal he behaved in front of outsiders, the crazier he was when he was alone in private at night. Every night he didn't sleep, he kept staring at the pot The human face talked to himself, pouring out all his thoughts about my mother to a clay pot with a human face, he really regarded the dead thing given to him by an outsider as my Apa!"

"I'm scared……"

"I don't dare to talk about this casually to others, for fear that it will bring unfavorable voices to my father..."

"It was at that time that the water source of the Yueqiang Kingdom began to have problems. There have always been legends in the desert about the gods abandoning the oasis. When people take the initiative to fall into the arms of the devil, the desert gods will use sand and dry water to bury people's bodies."

"This incident really scared me. Finally, a few days ago, I mustered up all my courage, cried and begged, and tried to wake up my father and queen. The queen mother is dead and can never come back... On that day, I thought He dropped the clay pot with human face that made him abnormal, and wanted to open the clay pot with human face to prove that there was no Apa in it. That day was the first time my father got angry with me, and my father really changed. Becoming like a devil scares me...From that day, I had my first nightmare dreaming about women under the bed..."

Gulzar couldn't cry at the end, crying out all the loneliness and helplessness of so many days.
