Taboo Master

Chapter 3
In a trance, the surroundings suddenly became very hot, and at the same time, a strange stench floated into his nose.

I woke up from choking, the first action was to cover my nose subconsciously, and then slowly opened my eyes.

This is a huge cave, the light is very dim, and the surroundings are quiet, as if there is no one around.

I was very surprised. I turned over and sat up, and looked around. Sure enough, there was no one in the cave, but there were many strange things.There are five large iron stoves in the middle, almost as big as water tanks, arranged in five directions, and there seems to be something burning inside, but the fire is not strong, emitting a trace of heat.

Each iron stove is connected to a chimney, which converges into a larger stove at the back, but there is no fire in that stove, and the whole is like a big ball, with traces of smoke gushing out from it from time to time.

On the side of the iron furnace, there is a thin pipe slanting downward, which is connected to a huge iron bucket. I don't know what this is for.

Next to the big iron stove, there is a pool, which is filled with viscous sewage, red or black or black, and some unrecognizable things are discarded in it, exuding a disgusting smell.

This is the first time I know that there is such a big cave in the mountains, almost as big as a threshing yard, and the height of the head is four meters. The whole cave is filled with a faint smoke, which smells very special, like It is the slag burned at home in winter, but it also has an indescribably strange smell.

In the corner opposite to me, there was a large pile of porcelain vases, all of which were plugged with wooden stoppers. There were some tools such as axes, hammers, saws and chisels lying on the ground next to it. What was puzzling was that there was actually a small hand Shake the millstone.

It's so strange, I looked at all this in surprise, I couldn't believe my eyes, what is this place?
Could it be that Mr. Ma arrested us here?

Also, where did Fatty Wang and Liangzi go? !
I suddenly thought of them, and hurriedly turned around to look around the cave. After searching for a long time, I didn't find them. I was the only one in this huge cave.

My body was getting cold, and I hurriedly turned around and ran towards the exit of the cave, wanting to escape from this terrible cave immediately.

Dim light came in from the entrance of the cave, with colorful lights. I took three steps and two steps, and quickly ran to the entrance. I was about to run out, but I was stunned.

There is a puff of smoke at the entrance of the cave, just like the mist in the morning, which emits strange colors in the sunlight. No wonder it looks so dark from the inside, but there are colorful lights.

The smoke looked a little weird, but I didn't think too much about it. I lowered my head and ran outside. This place is definitely not a good place, and danger may appear at any time.

Unexpectedly, before I rushed into the smoke, I was still a few meters away, and immediately felt dizzy and nauseated, my heart was upset, and I almost fainted. I hurriedly covered my mouth and nose and took a few big steps back. It is slightly better to be far away from the smoke.

I was a little panicked, the smoke was layered on top of each other, and I couldn't see the situation outside at all. Am I going to be trapped here?No, absolutely not, the whereabouts of Fatty Wang and Liangzi are unknown, life and death are uncertain, I can no longer sit and wait for death, that Mr. Ma is really too weird, everything in this cave must have been made by him.

Returning back to the cave, I looked for the exit everywhere, but I was finally disappointed. This is a gourd-shaped cave with a small entrance and a large interior. Although the space is wide, there is only one entrance.

Standing in front of the cave entrance again, I looked at the smoke and wanted to rush out several times, but I still resisted the urge. There is a saying that there is poisonous mist and miasma in this mountain. Although I have never encountered it, I know that it is powerful. Even if you hold your breath, the poisonous mist can penetrate through the skin, enough to poison a strong cow in a few minutes.

Grandpa, at this moment, I thought of my grandpa. I wondered where he was at this moment, and whether he was looking for me. I regretted that I violated the taboo that my grandpa said that I can't hang out in the wild at noon.

Suddenly, the figure swayed in the smoke, as if someone was coming.

My heart skipped a beat, and the first thing I thought of was Mr. Ma. I couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and I had nowhere to hide. After thinking about it, I had to run back to the place where I lay down just now, learn the posture just now, and lay down again. However, a sharp stone was hidden under his body, and at the same time, his eyes were half-opened and half-closed, observing the movement.

The person who came in was indeed Mr. Ma, but Wang Fatty and Liangzi were not there. He walked unsteadily into the cave, but only glanced at me with a strange smile on his face, and ignored me. He walked to a corner of the cave, took out the woven bag just now, and walked to an iron stove.

I saw that he first used a hook to open the lid on the iron stove, took out something from his waist, and sprinkled it in. The iron stove suddenly burst into flames. Grab a human arm and throw it into the iron furnace!

That's right, it's a human arm. I saw it clearly from behind. I saw him take out a few more ribs and a thigh from the bag, look at it, put it back, and muttered, "Keep this for now."

I was almost scared out of my wits. It turned out that he was using this iron furnace to smelt the corpse, and judging from the situation just now, the bag must contain the bones in the coffin that was dug up on the mountain just now!

But why did he do this?He caught me here, could it be that he threw me into the stove to burn? !
There are also Fatty Wang and Liangzi, they will not have been
I didn't dare to imagine it, but at this moment, Mr. Ma suddenly turned his head, glanced at me, squeezed out that ferocious smile on his face, and said viciously: "When I practice this arm, the next one, It's your turn, old man Han, this time it's time for you to die!"

When these words came to my ears, I immediately felt my heart beating wildly, my hands and feet were numb, and I finally remembered who this person was.

He was the one who brought a dying boy to his grandfather for help five years ago!

But at that time, grandpa rejected him for some reason, and now, he wants revenge!
I understood everything, and the strong idea of ​​escape made me want to jump up and run out of the cave. Even if I risked being poisoned by the poisonous mist, there was always a glimmer of hope.

I need a chance, a chance to escape.

Mr. Ma turned off the iron stove, and the raging flames were caged in the stove. Soon, there was a crackling sound in the iron stove, and a scorched smell wafted in the air, which made people sick.

He went to another stove, opened the iron door below, and collected a small pile of gray and white objects, some in powder form and some in lump form, and put them together, and took the small grinding disc in the corner place, poured all those things down, and then shook the grinding disc by hand to start grinding.

I suddenly understood something, there is no doubt that it should be ashes, because some of them are not completely burned, so they have to be ground into powder with a millstone, and then they will be packed in those bottles and sold as his magic medicine !
Unexpectedly, the miraculous medicine passed down by the neighbors in the nearby village turned out to be human ashes, which is terrible.I subconsciously remembered the medicine candy I had in my mouth before, and now that I think about it, it must have been made from his ashes!
I felt sick in my chest, but I saw Mr. Ma pour the ground ashes into a large porcelain bowl, then turned around, grabbed something from a jar, sprinkled it in the ashes, and used his hands Stir it up.

He is like a master chef in the kitchen, constantly putting various seasonings into the porcelain basin, but gradually showing a crazy look on his face, stirring quickly with his hands in the powdered ashes, grasping them evenly.
Then, he turned around, took a few porcelain bottles, and carefully poured medicine into them.

The opportunity is coming!

I slowly moved my body and stepped back. At the same time, I slowly got up, not even daring to catch my breath, and walked lightly towards the entrance of the cave.

One step, two steps, three steps.
I walked very lightly, looking back while walking, but I really didn't disturb him. After more than ten steps, I could already see the colorful light at the entrance of the cave.

Even being poisoned to death is better than being refined into medicine!
I remember that the bones of people who died of poisoning are black. In that case, he wouldn't use my ashes, right?
I thought sadly.

However, looking at the colorful light at the entrance of the cave, I was distracted and forgot that there were many gravels under my feet. One of them didn't pay attention and just kicked on a small stone.

It was originally a slight noise, but at this moment, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. I was so scared that I didn't dare to move. I was about to turn my head to see if Mr. Ma was disturbed. Hua, Mr. Ma was already standing in front of me with a gloomy face, with a terrifying light in his eyes.

"Little thing, I finally found a bone like you, don't run away, be obedient, let me refine you into a real magic medicine, do you agree?"

He firmly grasped my wrist, with a ferocious smile appearing on his face again.
"Help, grandpa, come and help."

I couldn't hold back the fear in my heart anymore, and I desperately raised my throat and shouted!

"Hey hey, it's useless for you to shout, accept your fate, this is something your Han family will never escape, anyway, you won't live long."

Mr. Ma grabbed my hand, dragged me to the stove, and stared at me with a complicated expression.From his eyes, I seem to see madness, resentment, pride, and joy. It's hard to imagine that all these expressions will appear on a person's face at the same time.

In front of him, I had almost no power to resist, so I had to try my best to delay the time. I knew that grandpa must be looking for me everywhere.

"What, what are you talking about, why do I not live long?" I tried to calm down and asked.

He was a little surprised, looked at me, and said: "As expected, it is the Han family. They are so young, and they are so calm when they die. Haha, you can actually ask your grandpa about this. Well, your grandpa should be 55 years old. , if he dies this year, you should only live to be 35 years old at most. Of course, if he doesn't die, your lifespan will only decrease. After ten years, both of your lifespans should end at the same time. , haha, it’s interesting to think about it, by then you will be 25, your grandfather will be 65, and both grandparents and grandchildren will go to hell together, hahaha”

I was completely shocked by what he said, what does it mean?Why does my life expectancy decrease if my grandfather doesn't die?How could my lifespan be related to grandpa?
I opened my mouth wide and looked at him in disbelief.

Who is he?Why do you know so much inside information that I don't know?

His complexion changed, and he said to me coldly: "If you want to blame, just blame yourself for being from the Han family. Don't ask me why, I don't know. This is a taboo of your Han family!"
