Chapter 238: Corpse Cricket
That's right, regardless of the style or color, if you look closely, these very quaint and warm looking houses are indeed exactly the same as some paper houses on the market!
Could it be that the owner of the place they have intruded on is ......
"Let's leave quickly!" Fang Ling and Fang Xun almost said in unison, and took the lead in snatching the door.
The others hurriedly followed, and Bai Xiu was about to leave, but suddenly saw two notes lying at his feet.
He hurriedly picked it up, took a cursory look, and found that there was a line of words written on it:
Zhang Gong was born in a certain year and died in a certain year at the age of 71, and Zhao, the first concubine, was born in a certain year and died in a certain year, at the age of 69.
He suddenly understood in his heart that this was the origin of the identity of the two paper people.
Everyone fled outside, and Li Kan pointed to the path that passed through the village and said, "Anyway, everyone has come down, so let's simply go to the opposite side to find out where the exit is." ”
Naturally, the others would not object, only Fang Xun muttered a few words in a low voice, but in the end he didn't say anything.
A few people walked towards the village, which seemed to be a short distance, and they walked for twenty minutes before they reached the edge of a clearing in the center of the village.
And at this time, Fang Xun's figure suddenly shook, and then he covered his stomach and rolled on the ground and screamed.
Fang Ling hurriedly went to help him, but he was scratching his body as if he was crazy, and said urgently: "Help, something is drilling inside!"
The others hurried to look, but there was something there.
Fang Jin instantly realized that something was wrong: "There is something wrong with those two paper piercing people!"
Immediately decided, he said to everyone: "You hold him, I'll go back and see who is doing the ghost." ”
Fang Ling nodded again and again, seeing his back disappear into the path, she commanded the others: "Little sister, there is a mountaineering rope in the backpack, tie his hands and feet first." The others and I carried him to the clearing. ”
Fang Xun suddenly shouted angrily: "Fang Ling, what do you mean, you want to kill me?"
He struggled desperately, and there was a way that two fists were hard to beat four hands, and soon he was subdued.
Fang Ling saw that there were several tall stone tablets on the open ground, and the general and the others carried him to the stone tablet.
Fang Xun couldn't even struggle, and couldn't help but scold.
"Why hasn't the third brother come back yet......" Fang Ling looked at the intersection anxiously, "Little sister, you are watching here, I'll go find him!"
Fang Xun said hatefully: "I knew you liked him, I was going to die, and you were still worried about him!"
Fang Ling glared at him with hatred, and ran in the direction he came from without looking back.
Fang Xin also remembered that Bai Xiu sighed, and walked to Fang Xun's side to take a closer look.
Fang Xun was furious by his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "What are you looking at?"
Wu Xun said: "Did he just collide with the undead, and there are unjust souls at work?"
Li Kan said: "Wronged souls can only go on other people's bodies, or change the surrounding environment, and it doesn't seem to directly hurt people." ”
The two discussed back and forth, Bai Xiu didn't speak, just lifted the clothes on his abdomen and sniffed it gently.
The others were inexplicable, but then they also smelled a smell that looked like the smell of wine and something rotten, but following the taste, there was still nothing on Fang Xun's stomach.
Bai Xiu guessed a few points, and said a name in a deep voice: "It's a corpse cricket, a corpse cricket drilled into your navel." ”
"Corpse cricket, what's that?" the others couldn't help but look at each other.
Bai Xiu explained: "As I said before, people become souls after death, and when the soul 'dies', it does not completely dissipate.
The purest of these life soul powers converge into the Nightmare Spirit Fruit, and its resentment turns into a resentful spirit, and if the two are not separated, it may give birth to a Yin Spirit.
But sometimes the soul does not 'end its life', if it is given a secret method, or because of some objective factors, it cannot return to Huangquan Biluo, before its soul power is completely dissipated, it will become a puppet, or even a ghost. ”
Fang Xin understood, and immediately said, "Is this corpse cricket some kind of puppet?"
Bai Xiu nodded, the only flame of hope in his heart was extinguished, Fang Xin only mentioned puppets, not ghosts, and completely forgot about his previous experience.
What the hell is going on?
If no one is lying, does that mean that there is not a real existence in front of you, but some kind of illusion?
Or are they also reluctantly reluctant?
But why is he sober again?
His thoughts were racing, and he just replied on his face: "Yes, the puppets in the world can be roughly divided into two types.
One is passively becoming a puppet, called a dead puppet, such as the spirit puppet of the Ming family, and the other is becoming a puppet because of his own obsession, which becomes a living puppet.
There are generally three kinds of living golems, the first is called corpse cicadas.
Because of the desire to reincarnate, the corpse cicada especially likes to possess the living, and we often say that the water ghost is looking for a stand-in, and the other two want to be the weakest than the spiritual power.
The second type is called the Five Elements of the Corpse, which is generally incarnated by the soul of the practitioner after death, or formed by accident or intentionally by the practitioner as a kind of cultivation secret sword.
When it was formed, the three souls and seven spirits were complete, and the power of the five elements was complete, so it was called the corpse five elements, because of its powerful power, even the ghost clan was afraid of its three points, and it was the most powerful of the three living puppets, but it was also the least common. ”
Li Kan said: "This corpse cricket is the third type, and what is its origin?"
Bai Xiu glanced at him and said, "The corpse cricket is closer to the ghost spirit, and it also belongs to the resentment, the difference is that it is the grudge of the puppet, not the resentment of the soul. ”
"In other words, it has just become a puppet and has been killed, and when it is about to die, its resentment will not disperse, is it this corpse?" Li Kan said suddenly.
Bai Xiu nodded: "That's right, this thing is invasive, not afraid of anger, but it is different from ordinary puppets, and its size is as small as a gnat, it is very easy to absorb on people."
This is much more terrible than any gadfly lice, as long as he burrows into the abdominal cavity, it will definitely be eaten up by it, which is why it is more terrible than the corpse cicada.
There is a problem with the paper man, it should have been contaminated by Second Brother Fang when he did it before. ”
As soon as he heard his words, Fang Xun's face turned pale again, and he couldn't help but scold: "The surname is Bai, why are you talking so much, don't you hurry up and save me!"
Fang Xin also hurriedly looked at Bai Xiu wistfully, pursed his lips and said, "Bai Xiu, the second brother had a bad attitude towards you before, it was he who was wrong, I apologized for him first, so don't be angry......
"I'm not angry. Seeing that she thought she was deliberately delaying, Bai Xiu couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart.
He said helplessly: "It's the first time I've seen this thing, I've only heard my aunt talk about it before, and I don't know how to save him." ”
"Good ......" Fang Xin sneered, it was an expression that Bai Xiu had never seen on her face.
"I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. Li Kan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, taking the opportunity to fan the flames, "Hmph, I'm afraid you want to watch us die one after another, so that you can swallow the things in the sky alone, right?"
Fang Xun's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, good! When I die and become a ghost, I won't let you go if I am the first one!"
Whether sneering, resentful, or mocking, the three faces shook back and forth in front of his eyes, and a wave of dizziness hit Bai Xiu.
No, no, they seem to have been affected by something, even to him - if it were a normal time, he would never say this if he was not sure about solving the problem.
For a moment he had a splitting headache, and he couldn't sort out the chaotic thoughts anyway.
"Forget it, he doesn't want to save it, and we don't have to beg him, when the third brother and them come back, there will definitely be a way. Fang Xin squatted beside Fang Xun, raised his head and glanced at Bai Xiu coldly.
Bai Xiu looked at her in a daze, unable to say a word.
It was useless to deceive himself now, and it seemed that from the moment he returned to the ancient city, they had fallen into the trap laid down by someone.
But why do you remember everything that happened before?
Did the man use himself as a pawn, or was it meant for him, the only one who was awake?
He was thinking wildly when Fang Xin woke him up violently with a sob.
He subconsciously looked down and saw that Fang Xun's face was blue and bleeding, and at this moment, the kung fu corpse cricket had already begun to attack.
I'm afraid that in less than two minutes, Fang Xun's soul will return to Huangquan Biluo.
Suddenly, Fang Xin threw himself in front of him and choked up: "Bai Xiu, please save my second brother, he is going to die!
Her tears were like a sharp blade on his neck, Bai Xiu never thought that he and Fang Xin would fall into such a confrontation.
He was silent, and Li Kan said with a smile: "Don't you like to sacrifice yourself to save others the most? Why did you regret your life again at the critical moment? Anyway, you are going to die, it is better to save this innocent person." ”
Li Kan's gaze seemed to be able to see through him.
Yes, in fact, he has a way to save Fang Xun.
The corpse cricket is a thing of yin qi condensation, and it likes flesh and blood, as long as it is pulled by his blood, it can be drawn into one's own body.
But what he said before was true, even if he suffered this bone-eating pain himself, there was nothing he could do.
He and Fang Xun, there is always one person who is going to die.
Seeing his gloomy expression, Li Kan laughed: "In the final analysis, you are hypocritical, you are righteous when you sacrifice others, but you have many excuses when it is your turn." ”
Bai Xiu smiled bitterly, indeed, everything under his eyes was like a mirror, reflecting his truest thoughts in his heart.
It is human nature to be greedy for life and fear death, and even he will not be an exception.
He remembered what he said to Wen Lang before, it was really so ridiculous.
"Okay, I'll save him. ”
Bai Xiu took a deep breath, walked to Fang Xun's side, took out the Demon Breaking Blade and slashed his palm, and then hung his blood-stained palm above Fang Xun's abdomen.
Blood beads rolled down one after another, dripping on Fang Xun's body as if encountering a hot iron plate, and a cloud of blood mist rose up with a few sounds.
And at this moment, a black shadow only the size of a grain of rice swirled out from the blood mist and went straight into the wound in Bai Xiu's palm.
As soon as Bai Xiu shook his hand, the blood mist quickly dispersed.
Almost at that same moment, Fang Xun spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly opened his eyes.
"Second brother, are you okay?" Fang Xin knelt beside him, and suddenly cried with joy.
Fang Xun nodded weakly, looking at Bai Xiu with something complicated.
Bai Xiu also felt strange in his heart, and was about to bear the severe pain, but he found that something was wrong, he spread out his palm and saw that there was nothing abnormal there.
The corpse cricket was gone.
Yes, it's gone, Bai Xiu didn't notice its existence at all, as if it hadn't appeared at all.
