Chapter 50: The Art of Skinning

The further down he looked, the more frightened Liu Shibai became, and the mystery of thousands of years was finally revealed......

It turned out that these seventeen corpses were the seventeen golden captains of the same era as their ancestor Liu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Eighteen also had some puzzles in his heart, since his ancestor Liu Yi already knew about this extremely secret tomb, and he was proficient in dragon point acupoint techniques and feng shui techniques, why didn't he move his bones here?

Thinking of this, Liu Shibai looked back at Cao Xiong and wondered:

"Lao Cao, you said that the ancestors of the Liu family, why don't you move your bones here? At least you can alleviate the curse of the unlucky eighteenth generation, right?"

Cao Xiong's expression at this time gradually calmed down, and he glanced at Liu Shibai strangely, and then looked at Li Ergou and his wife who were standing there pointing at the seventeen corpses.

"Eighteen, you might as well take a closer look, what's so strange about those seventeen corpses?"

Cao Xiong's eyes faintly flashed with a hint of fear.

"What's the difference?"

Liu Shibai muttered, walked in, and turned his head to look.

"Ahh

At this sight, Liu Eighteen was suddenly startled, and the sound of exclamation echoed in the hall, stirring up a gust of wind.

Li Ergou was also frightened and took three steps back, glared at Liu Shibai in horror and asked:

"What's wrong, little master?"

"Nothing, I'm just wondering, what do these corpses look like living people? except for the lack of eyeballs and teeth. ”

Liu Eighteen stared at the seventeen corpses and explained softly.

"What's the matter, look at the skin and hair of these corpses, they are no different from the big living people now, except the two big black holes in the eye sockets, which are strange and scary. ”

Cuihua pursed her lips and added.

In the past, Liu Shibai had seen some celebrity wax figures in the Xuchang Wax Museum, which were lifelike, and if he didn't look carefully, he thought they were real people.

The seventeen standing bones in front of him, just like the wax statue, looked extremely terrifying.

I heard that in Europe and the United States, there was once a cruel murderer who made wax figures out of living people, and was later found dead.

"Hoo ......"

A strange wind blew in the hall, blowing the cyan flames in the fire trough against the wall and swaying from side to side.

"When...... Boss, there are ghosts?"

Cuihua leaned towards Li Ergou in fear.

"Hell, a hammer, I've never seen a ghost since I was a child, how can there be such a thing in the world?

Hush...... What do you say, a ruined girl? You don't say that Lao Tzu is not afraid, why are you covered in hair when you say Lao Tzu?"

The white hair on Li Ergou's forehead was cold and sweaty.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

A sinister laugh came, scaring Liu Shibai and Li Ergou and his wife again.

"Old Cao, what the hell are you laughing at, it scared me to death......

Liu Shibai glared at Cao Xiong, who was sneering, and said angrily.

Cao Xiong was stunned when he heard this, raised his hand and pointed to himself and said:

"Where the hell am I smiling?

"Huh?"

When Liu Eighteen heard this, his face changed greatly.

Not you're laughing?

Am I laughing?

Could it be that there is a fifth person in this tomb?

Seeing Liu Shibai looking around in fright, Cao Xiong touched his nose helplessly and said:

"I mean, the person who laughed just now is indeed an old man, but I just laugh casually, not as penetrating as you say, what the hell is laughing?"

"Are you scared of the old lady? believe it or not, the old lady shot you with an arrow?"

Cuihua, who was frightened, angrily picked up the bow and crossbow and pointed an arrow at Cao Xiong.

"Huh? don't ...... I'll just laugh casually!"

Cao Xiong's right hand clenched the mountain knife and trembled slightly, and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

He couldn't see through this stupid old woman, and he didn't have the certainty of dodging the arrow.

"Forget it, Aunt Cuihua! Actually, Old Man Cao didn't mean it, we were just scaring ourselves. ”

Liu Shibai had no choice but to make a round.

Then, Liu Shibai glanced at Cao Xiong silently and asked:

"Lao Cao, what do you know?"

Cao Xiong hesitated, raised his head and took a closer look at the seventeen corpses, and said with some uncertainty:

"Master, that is, your grandfather once told me that there used to be a very evil feng shui array.

It is said that this feng shui array is evil because the formation is made of people, and it must be full of great resentment for the dead people. ”

When Liu Shibai heard this, his face turned white, and he said in confusion:

"What do you mean, a deep resentment?"

Cao Xiong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his face was also like ashes......

"This feng shui array, called the Eighteen Consecutive Yin and Yang Soul Snatching Array, according to legend, requires eighteen people with great luck to set up the array. ”

Cao Xiong continued to explain.

Liu Eighteen was shocked when he heard this, and muttered in a low voice:

"Eighteen? Cao Cao's eighteen gold captains are not just used to rob tombs?"

A trace of horror flashed in Cao Xiong's eyes, and he continued:

"That's right, he used it to set up a series of Yin Yang Soul Snatchers after his death. This formation is said to preserve the soul of the person in the formation from dying forever and waiting to be reincarnated. ”

"Then how do you explain the evil sect you said?"

Liu Shibai looked at Cao Xiong suspiciously and asked.

Cao Xiong's tree-like face twitched, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and finally he sighed and said with a wry smile:

"Actually, this is also the sin done by Cao Cao, the ancestor of my Cao family. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Xiong cautiously walked a few steps forward and stood side by side with Liu Shiba.

Then Cao Xiong raised his left hand, pointed to the seventeen corpses not far away, and said in fear:

"Eighteen, do you know how they died?"

"I don't know, you say!"

Liu Shiba's back was cold.

"These people were all skinned alive and died, and the death was extremely cruel. ”

Cao Xiong explained softly.

At this time, Li Ergou shook his head and interjected:

"Cao Xiong, don't think Lao Tzu is stupid, I look carefully, the corpse is very complete, where does it look like it is skinned?"

"Yes, yes, the smartest of the housekeepers. ”

Cuihua wrinkled her old face, and smiled and complimented Li Ergou at the right time.

"That's it, Liu Jiatun is the smartest ...... except for my father."

Li Ergou was triumphant, quite shriveled ribs and breasts, and turned around and kissed Lao Cuihua's chrysanthemum face.

"Whoa!"

"Gross!"

Liu Shibai looked at Cuihua's face, which was uglier than Lao Hei, and couldn't help retching......

This really fulfills the old saying: ugly people make more mistakes......

Cao Xiongtie blushed, looked at this pair of living treasures with an average age of sixty years old, smiled gloomily, and said strangely:

"Ordinary peeling is definitely not good, eighteen, I don't know if you have heard of a four-word allusion......?

"What do you mean?"

Liu Shibai was covered with goosebumps.

"This kind of puppet arrangement method is very particular, first dig a one-person deep pit in the red earth, and then put a brazier in the pit to burn the inside of the pit to the bridle.

Then the prepared funeral offerings were knocked unconscious, stripped naked, and placed straight into the hot earth pit, and the cracks around them were compacted with red clay.

When the sacrifice is burned awake, use a silver knife to cut a hole about a foot long on the scalp from back to front at the position of the heavenly spirit cover of the sacrifice.

Finally, varying quantities of mercury were poured into the severed scalp, and the weight of the mercury separated the skin and body of the sacrifice.

At this time, the sacrifice began to struggle and howl, but the soil in the pit was tamped, and the bloody flesh of the sacrifice came out directly from the cut scalp, leaving only a complete human skin in the pit.

Then, a special person filled the left human skin with medicinal herbs to keep the human skin from rotting, and after it was filled, it was restored to the original appearance of the sacrifice, which is the seventeen corpses we see now. ”

Liu Shiba, Li Ergou, and Cuihua, listening to Cao Xiong's unhurried explanation, couldn't help but shiver at the same time, feeling the wind around them......

"Dad, I'm scared to death Cuihua!"

Cuihua rolled her eyes and almost fainted.
