My master is invincible

Chapter 526 Collecting Birds (51)

I wanted to ask Su Mengke the specific reason, but remembering that she was just a walking corpse, I dismissed the idea and helped her to the bed. I was afraid that another corpse would be stolen, so I looked under the bed, and there was no movement. Only then did I walk towards the door, and stretched out my hand to pull out the bolt. To my surprise, the door seemed to be locked on both sides, both inside and outside were locked.

At first I thought the door was made too tight, so I broke it hard, only to find that the door bolt seemed to be locked with a chain from the outside. This is so damn, it is locked inside and out, how did the person who locked the door get out? ?
I was a little panicked. I walked around the room a few times and found that the room was sealed except for one window. The window was made of horizontal and vertical wooden strips, and there was a totem in the middle. I took a closer look. , that totem is a swallow.

This reminds me that when I first entered Wanming Pagoda, there was a concrete pillar in that square, and this kind of swallow was also carved on that pillar. Could it be that this kind of swallow is a totem of the Miao nationality?
I thought about it, the totem of the Miao nationality seems to have swallows, but it is definitely not this kind of swallow. You must know that the swallows on the totem are exactly the same as the swallows we usually see. The Miao people are famous for being mysterious. Plant swallows as totems?This seems a little unreasonable.

I touched the totem, and it felt a little cold in my hands. It was small in shape, with narrow wings, concave tail and short beak (hui), and very small feet. Strangely, the swallow's beak was faintly golden.

golden beak?

I was stunned for a moment, the beaks of ordinary swallows are dark gray or dark black, and rarely golden. Could it be that this is not a swallow but a magpie?No, the magpie is much bigger than the swallow, so it should not be a magpie.

I stayed in place for a few minutes, but I really couldn't figure out what kind of bird it was, so I had to look out through the gap in the window. The scenery outside was very strange. Family.

I think so, because I saw that my location seems to be halfway up the mountain. By the moonlight, I can vaguely see a lantern road. I remember when I first came to Su’s house, I passed a lantern road. Could it be this? The Su family?
Thinking of this, I shouted a few words outside, is there anyone?
I shouted seven or eight times in a row, but no one paid any attention to me, which made me feel uncomfortable. Let’s not talk about what happened in the Shijia firewood house, but the layout of this room is obviously a wedding room. Could it be that I am now Already married to Su Mengke?

No, I remember the old scholar told me that the process of getting a yin marriage here in Xiangxi is extremely complicated and takes several days, but I only seemed to be in a coma for half a day, and it is impossible to complete the yin marriage.

But, what is everything in this room now?There is no reason to lock the man and the woman in the same room before they are married. This is unreasonable. I believe that the Su family will definitely abide by the tradition and will not destroy it.

So, what is all this in front of you?

All of a sudden, my mind was very confused, and I could only yell a few more times with all my strength. What troubled me was that no one paid any attention to me every time I uttered a sound. Even if there was some slight movement outside, it was only for a moment. , will immediately fall into dead silence again.

Matt, what happened.

I cursed secretly, went back to the bed and sat down in frustration, looked up at Su Mengke, she still had the same expression.

Time is something that is always lost unconsciously. Soon, I stayed in this room for two or three hours, and the moonlight outside gradually dimmed, and the light in the whole room also dimmed.

I was a little annoyed. Ever since I entered the Tower of Ten Thousand Names, too many strange things had happened. First, the so-called marriage was fake, then Su Mengke died but walked like a living person, and then Aunt Lian, Shi Baobao, and Grandma Qiao The relationship with Aunt Lian, and the Nama family.

I don't know what's going on, but I always feel that there should be some relationship between the Ma family and the Su family. One is the resurrection technique of the Ma family, and the other is that Aunt Lian's natal Gu can make the dead walk. There should be a relationship between the two. Associated.

Afterwards, I went through the events after entering the Wanming Pagoda one by one, and found out tragically that I was being plotted against when I came to the Wanming Pagoda this time, and what was even more tragic was that I didn’t even know who was plotting against me. , I know that someone should be manipulating all this.

As for the person behind the scenes, I have a few guesses, one is Aunt Lian, the other is Granny Qiao, the other is Shi Santian, who has never met in the Shi family, and the wizard from the Ma family who knows the resurrection technique.

Among the four, Aunt Lian was the least likely, Granny Qiao was next, and Shi Santian and the Ma family were the most suspected.As for why this yin marriage was brought about, to be honest, I don’t believe that they did it to realize Su Mengke’s dream. I always feel that they should have some other purpose in it. Is for me or for something.

After thinking about it, I don't know who else in the Tower of Ten Thousand Names is worthy of my trust, and who else can solve all the doubts in my heart. I first thought of Joyce. It is said that I have a good relationship with her, but this matter involved When it came to Granny Qiao, my trust in her plummeted. Moreover, she herself was involved in this matter.

I thought of Lang Gao second, but he entered the Wanming Pagoda at the same time as me, so he probably didn't know much.

The third one that comes to mind is Aunt Lian. I can see that her mother-daughter love for Su Mengke is real. She is for Su Mengke wholeheartedly. After all, she sacrificed her own life just to fulfill Su Mengke's dream. , and it is precisely because of this that her suspicion is the least.

Then again, although Aunt Lian is trustworthy, but in order to find Su Mengke's body, she should be dead at this time, and this line is completely broken.

Immediately, I fell into silence, and rested my chin with one hand to go over everything again. Gradually, I realized that I had neglected one person, Su Mengke's father, Su Dahe.

To be honest, I don’t feel very good about this Su Dahe. First, he behaved in marriage, and then during the day, his attitude towards yin marriage was a bit ambiguous. When Aunt Lian mentioned yin marriage, he immediately went back to prepare, and he didn’t care at all. Paying attention to Su Mengke's whereabouts, this doesn't seem like an action a father should have.

Could it be that Su Dahe was playing tricks on all of this?It's not like, that person just has some money, so he probably doesn't have this ability. Besides, money seems to be useless in this Wanming Pagoda, otherwise the Su family wouldn't be ranked at the bottom of the Eight Great Families.

But if it wasn't for him, then what about all these mysteries?

Thinking, thinking, I suddenly thought of a very familiar person, Qingxuanzi, yes, Qingxuanzi, this Taoist also came to Xiangxi, in his words, I committed a peach blossom disaster, he came to help me But, I have been coming to Wanming Pagoda for several days, and I haven't seen him at all.

I just thought of Qingxuanzi, when there was a sound at the door, a bit like the sound of a lock being unlocked, I looked happy and stared at the door.
