Xixia dead book

Chapter 23: Legend of the Undead in the Book of the Dead (23)
Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang helplessly.Han Jiang had no choice but to open the room to rest and charge his phone by the way.Han Jiang and Tang Feng lived in the same room, Xu Renyu lived in the same room alone, and Liang Yuan originally wanted to live in the same room with Nan Nan, but Han Jiang decided to open a room for Liang Yuan alone, considering the things in Liang Yuan's bag.

Tang Feng entered the room, observed it, and said to Han Jiang: "It's strange here, the hotel closed so early."

"It's not surprising, there's no one there, so of course we'll close the door early!" Han Jiang said.

Tang Feng walked into the bathroom, and suddenly said excitedly to Han Jiang: "Don't tell me, this remote hotel is quite clean and has hot water. We can finally have a good night's sleep."

"Let me remind you, those passengers are still suffering from hunger and cold on the mountain." Han Jiang said to Tang Feng with a serious face.

"But here is still unable to communicate with the outside world, what can we do?" Tang Feng paused, and then comforted, "It's been a few days, maybe the rescuers have found them, but it's us who may be caught Listed as missing."

Han Jiang thinks about it, Tang Feng's words are not unreasonable. He originally hoped that he could come out earlier, report the location of the plane accident, and go to the rescue as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, so many things happened along the way, maybe it was true as Tang Feng said. It is said that several of them have become missing persons instead.Poor Stephen!And Makarov and Yelena, how are they doing?Han Jiang was lying on the bed, but Yelena's frowns and smiles always appeared in his mind somehow.

In the middle of the night, Han Jiang was awakened suddenly by a quarrel outside the window.He jumped up from the bed and listened attentively. The sound was outside the window, but it seemed to be far away.Han Jiang tried hard to hear the content of the quarrel, but he couldn't hear clearly at all.

Han Jiang looked at Tang Feng who was sleeping soundly, took out a pistol from under the pillow, and tiptoedly opened the door.The corridor was pitch black, but the voice disappeared when I heard it again, and the whole small hotel returned to its original tranquility.Han Jiang felt a bit of chill, he was attached to the door of Xu Renyu's room, listening attentively, there was a uniform snoring sound from inside.Han Jiang stuck outside Liang Yuan's room again, and the room was silent, but Han Jiang still keenly caught Liang Yuan's slight snoring. "It seems that I have too many intentions!" Han Jiang put away his pistol suspiciously, and looked at the service desk downstairs. There was no one, and there was no movement.

Han Jiang returned to the room and lay down on the bed again. He didn't hear the quarrel again. Slowly, slowly, sleepiness hit him again. Han Jiang closed his eyes...

Early the next morning, when Tang Feng woke up, it was already past 10 o'clock, and Han Jiang beside him was still soundly asleep.This is not like Han Jiang's usual style, maybe because he was too tired yesterday!Tang Feng wakes up Han Jiang. "Strange! Why did you sleep so hard yesterday?" Han Jiang shook his head, feeling dizzy.

"Get ready, we told Nan Nan that we are going to the celestial burial platform, it may be too late now." Tang Feng reminded.

Unexpectedly, when Han Jiang heard Tang Feng's reminder, he jumped up from the bed and knocked on the door of Liang Yuan's room next door.Tang Feng was puzzled and followed.While knocking on the door, Han Jiang whispered to Tang Feng, "Last night was too abnormal, I shouldn't have slept like that." He remembered the strange quarrel downstairs outside the window last night.

"Maybe you were tired yesterday."

"Impossible, my heart is beating hard now, and I'm worried that something will happen to Liang Yuan."

When Tang Feng heard this, he also became nervous.The two knocked on Liang Yuan's door together. After waiting for a long time, Liang Yuan's door didn't open, which woke up Xu Renyu.Han Jiang gradually lost his patience, and when he was about to break in, the door of Liang Yuan's room opened suddenly.Liang Yuan looked sleepily at the three big men at the door, and said with a smile: "You don't need to make such a big noise to wake me up?"

Han Jiang ignored Liang Yuan, broke into her room, opened Liang Yuan's backpack, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the Xixia jade screen lying intact in the bag. "It took so long to open the door, you scared us to death." Tang Feng complained.

"Don't worry, I sleep with my bag in my arms, so I won't lose it!" Liang Yuan still looked innocent.Suddenly, she seemed to remember something again, and shouted: "Oops! Oops! Why are you calling me now! I made an appointment with Nan Nan last night, and I will go to the burial platform early this morning. Nan Nan may Wait in a hurry."

"Nannan?" Han Jiang muttered, and said to Tang Feng and Liang Yuan, "I'll go find Zhou Nannan, you two get ready and leave later."

Han Jiang came to Zhou Nannan's door and knocked for a long time, but no one answered.Han Jiang ran to the information desk downstairs and asked about the old man he met last night.The old man is still wearing a coarse tunic suit.Hearing Han Jiang ask Zhou Nannan, the old man said in a hoarse voice, "I saw that girl go out early in the morning."

"Do you know where she has gone?"

The old man shook his head, "She didn't say. But..."

"what?"

"However, she asked me about the celestial burial yesterday. I guess she went to the celestial burial early in the morning." The old man said expressionlessly.

Han Jiang nodded and was about to leave when he asked the old man, "When did this girl live here?"

The old man thought for a while and replied, "It was the day before yesterday, and she came here alone the night before yesterday."

Han Jiang thought about it, then returned to Liang Yuan's room, and said to her and Tang Feng, "The old man said that Nan Nan went out early this morning, maybe she went to the celestial burial platform alone."

"Why didn't Nannan call me? I told her yesterday that we will go together today." Liang Yuan complained.

"Maybe you slept too hard." Tang Feng said.

"Impossible, if she wants to knock on my door, I will definitely wake up."

Liang Yuan wanted to say something else, but Han Jiang said firmly: "Don't complain, everything will wait until the burial platform, and find Zhou Nannan."

Each of the four prepares.Han Jiang turned on the charged mobile phone and found that the mobile phone still had no signal.He looked at Tang Feng helplessly, and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear the quarrel downstairs outside the window last night?"

"Arguing? No. Why, what did you hear?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang in confusion.

Han Jiang frowned, and muttered to himself, "Why did I hear it? Could it be my dream?"

"What happened?" Tang Feng was at a loss.

"In short, I don't feel very good, and I always feel that this place is a bit weird." Han Jiang stared at Tang Feng and said.

"I also think it's a bit strange here, but let's hurry up and find Zhou Nannan!"

After Tang Feng finished speaking, Liang Yuan and Xu Renyu were also ready, so Tang Feng asked the old man the way, and the four of them set off towards the celestial burial platform.

When he got to the street, Tang Feng realized that today was a cloudy day, the north wind was howling, and there were few pedestrians, making the small town of Langmusi even more deserted.

The four of them walked for a while against the cold wind, and the mountain road became more and more muddy. Tang Feng complained, "It just happens to be in such a bad weather." No one answered, and the four of them continued to walk with their heads buried.The celestial burial was getting closer, and Tang Feng had already seen the messy white prayer flags on the hillside, and he knew that it was the celestial burial.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect or because of the high altitude, Tang Feng feels the colder the higher he climbs.The wind howled and tore the faces of the four people, but instead of stopping, the four people accelerated their pace.Tang Feng didn't know what kind of force was attracting them. In short, the celestial burial platform was getting closer and closer to them.

Ahead, a barbed wire fence appeared on the grassy slope, but this is just a symbolic barbed wire fence, its gate is open, and it cannot stop anyone who wants to enter the celestial burial platform to hunt for novelties.All four of them knew that the celestial burial had arrived.Liang Yuan looked around, but there was no one there, and there was no sign of Nan Nan.The prayer flags in front were blown by the strong wind, making strange noises, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.Liang Yuan was frightened, and she timidly pointed to the eight big red characters hanging on the barbed wire - "Tourists are not allowed to visit", as if she had found a step downhill: "Look, you are not allowed to enter here, let's go back , maybe, Nan Nan has gone back."

Xu Renyu also agrees.Han Jiang was a little hesitant. He looked around and nodded.The three of them stared at Tang Feng together.Tang Feng didn't speak, he glanced at the celestial burial platform not far away, and turned around to go down the mountain, but Tang Feng had just taken two steps when he suddenly noticed a group of black vultures flying in the sky.The vultures circled on the celestial burial platform, refusing to leave for a long time.Tang Feng raised his head, staring at the black vultures circling in the sky, thoughtful.After circling several times in the air, the vulture landed on the celestial burial platform.

Liang Yuan, who had already turned around and started to descend the mountain, urged Tang Feng: "What are you looking at? Hurry up!"

Tang Feng stared at the vultures on the celestial burial platform, and then looked back at Han Jiang, Liang Yuan and Xu Renyu. Suddenly, Tang Feng shouted: "No, I want to go in and have a look." A celestial burial platform with no one there.Han Jiang, who was already hesitant, followed Tang Feng and walked towards the gate of the celestial burial platform.Xu Renyu and Liang Yuan had no choice but to follow.

The four people passed by a piece of prayer flags, and the smell of blood made Tang Feng and Liang Yuan sick again and again.The prayer flags are swaying in the wind, and devout Tibetans write the six-character mantra on the prayer flags. Every time the wind blows, it means that the six-character mantra is recited for the dead. Tibetans believe that this is the death of the deceased. Prayers for myself and my family.There are many stone scripture boards around the prayer flags. Tang Feng prayed silently in front of these scripture boards. Liang Yuan also imitated Tang Feng's appearance, chanting words, not only for herself, but also for her deceased grandfather to ascend to heaven as soon as possible.At this moment, the sense of fear just now suddenly disappeared, and in this vast world, a sacred feeling emerged spontaneously from the bottom of my heart.

Bypassing the prayer flags, the four of them came to an open space covered with boulders, where there were some things piled up in disorder, including axes, clothes, human bones and indistinguishable wreckage.Tang Feng whispered: "This is the celestial burial platform. The corpses of the dead are processed here, divided into small pieces, smashed into bones, and given to vultures to eat."

Han Jiang frowned and glanced, Xu Renyu and Liang Yuan covered their mouths, and the four of them walked quickly along the edge of the celestial burial platform to the other side of the hillside in order not to disturb the souls and vultures on the celestial burial platform.About 100 meters away, Han Jiang suddenly found a group of vultures standing on the grassy slope on the other side of the hillside, tearing something hard...

The four of them had an ominous premonition in their hearts.Tang Feng hurried a few steps, risking being attacked by vultures, and rushed to the place where the group of vultures were.

The vultures flew away in all directions, Tang Feng, Han Jiang, Liang Yuan and Xu Renyu rushed to the front, all four of them were stunned by the bloody scene in front of them, and then the four of them vomited violently one after another, because——Because Where the vultures dispersed, they saw Zhou Nannan's body.Nan Nan's clothes had been ripped apart by the vultures, her body was half naked, bloody and bloody, not human.The scariest thing was Zhou Nannan's face, with two empty eye sockets, no eyeballs, the back of the head was completely smashed, and the brains scattered all over the floor.A vulture that didn't want to leave was still sucking Zhou Nannan's brains...

Liang Yuan couldn't help but fell into Tang Feng's arms and cried bitterly: "Who killed Nan Nan? She was fine yesterday!"

Tang Feng hugged Liang Yuan tightly, and the corners of his eyes were moist. He didn't expect Nan Nan, who was so talkative yesterday, to die on the celestial burial platform today!Tang Feng couldn't accept this reality for a while, his mind was in chaos, but his brain was still trying to search for the possible murderer.

"Could it be that Nan Nan was attacked by a vulture, so..." Xu Renyu guessed.

"Impossible! Vultures usually only eat carrion!" Tang Feng loudly denied Xu Renyu's judgment.As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from a distance accompanied by howling wind, "Tang Feng, you are right, Zhou Nannan was killed by me."

The four were startled again, and the eight terrified eyes looked around.No one, except for the four of them, there was no one else on the empty celestial burial platform!Tang Feng, Han Jiang, and Xu Renyu unanimously pulled out the [-]-type pistol they carried with them, opened the safety, and looked around vigilantly.

The voice sounded again: "Tang Feng, Han Jiang, put away your guns, you don't have to worry about snipers, I won't hurt you here."

Tang Feng tried his best to identify this voice, Chinese, baritone, standard Mandarin, without any accent, just like the announcer on TV broadcasting the news, but he quickly concluded that it was a processed voice, who was it? ?where is he hiding

At this time, Liang Yuan, who had been lying in Tang Feng's arms, got the courage out of nowhere, and shouted at the voice: "Who are you? Why don't you dare to come out? Why did you kill Nan Nan?"

Before Liang Yuan finished shouting, the voice laughed wildly: "Ha-ha! My Miss Liang, don't be so angry. You will know why you killed Zhou Nannan later. As for who I am, hehe, you will also know in the future. I know. However, there is one thing I can let you know right now: Zhou Nannan died because of you, because of the thing you were wearing."

"Xixia jade screen?" Liang Yuan was startled, and hugged her backpack even tighter.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang were also shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and seemed to understand the origin of the murderer!Tang Feng ran up the hillside behind him, looked around, but still saw no one.The voice sounded again: "Liang Yuan, if you are obedient, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, put the things I want in your backpack, and put them next to the stone lion in front of the Great Sutra Hall of the Geerdi Temple. As long as you follow my instructions Do what you want, I will not hurt you. But if you play tricks, you will die worse than Zhou Nannan! Haha-haha! Remember! At 5 p.m., by the stone lion in front of the Great Sutra Hall of Gerdi Monastery."

After speaking, the voice no longer sounded.Tang Feng stood alone on the highest point of the hillside, besides the sound of the wind, there was still the sound of the wind in his ears!

Tang Feng stood at the highest point of the hillside, and he was still searching hard. Suddenly, Tang Feng seemed to find something.In the small valley below the hillside in the distance, there were two red dots, blinking, and he quickly judged that they were two people!It looks like two lamas.Tang Feng ran towards the two lamas.However, when he caught up with the two lamas, they didn't know anything except the horror on their faces!
Tang Feng had no choice but to walk back. When he was exhausted and collapsed on the grass, Han Jiang came over and threw something to him. Tang Feng took it and took a look—a tape recorder!

"That's the one who talked to us just now." Without Han Jiang's explanation, Tang Feng already understood what was going on.

"Damn! These guys are too rampant." Tang Feng angrily smashed the tape recorder on the grass.

"That's right! It's too crazy. They seem to know everything about us, but we don't know anything about them." Han Jiang said doubtfully.

Tang Feng nodded slightly, "Yes! We must have something wrong somewhere, so that we can let the opponent take the lead." Tang Feng fell into deep thought, but after a while, Tang Feng said again, "Now is not the time to sum up experience and lessons. , at 5 p.m., there is still a fierce battle at the Gerdi Monastery."

"Maybe they are just bluffing. There are not many tourists in the town now. If they dare to show up in the Geerdi Temple, they may not be able to catch them!" Han Jiang said bitterly.

Tang Feng stood up, bent down to pick up the tape recorder that he had smashed, and said, "Whether they show up in the afternoon or not, we must be prepared." While talking, he took out the tape of the tape recorder and said to Han Jiang After a while, "We must calm down, this tape may still be useful if we take it back for research."

Han Jiang nodded and said, "Yes! We must be calm. But here..."

Han Jiang seemed to be in a dilemma. He was thinking about how to deal with Zhou Nannan's body.Tang Feng looked at Zhou Nannan's body helplessly, and said, "I don't know either! Let's talk about it when we can get in touch with the outside world! We have to do our best to deal with what may happen in the afternoon."

After Tang Feng finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Renyu who had been standing beside him, and suddenly found that Xu Renyu was staring at Liang Yuan's backpack in a daze.Following Xu Renyu's gaze, he discovered that the zipper of Liang Yuan's backpack had been opened at some point, and the red sandalwood box inside had fallen out. The careless Liang Yuan dragged her backpack, not noticing the change in her backpack at all.
