Chapter Ninety-Six: Hearing the Sound and Searching for Someone
In an instant, the team fell into endless panic, and even the calm Kushi and the little Taoist priest's faces sank a lot, and the Kushi really couldn't figure it out, and said, "No, if something takes him away, it's impossible that everyone doesn't notice it, could it be that he walked away by himself?"
"No...... No...... It's not that there's no movement...... You...... You see...... "When treasure is afraid, he stutters when he speaks." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
We looked in the direction of his finger, Qiu Yue approached and shone it with a torch, everyone was shocked, it turned out that there was a vine not far away that was constantly shaking, obviously someone had touched it just now, and according to the degree of shaking of the vine, the speed of what had just rubbed here was very fast.
"It's terrifying, what has that speed?" I asked, horrified.
Qiu Yue held the torch and said, "I probably know what it is?"
"What is it?" asked the librarian.
Qiu Yue held the vine in place to prevent it from shaking, then handed the torch in, looked at us, and said, "Look!"
I didn't see anything before, but when Autumn Moon's torch shone on the vines, I blurted out, "Salted fish jelly!"
"Salted fish jelly?" Qiu Yue was confused by my term, and I hurriedly changed my words: "The liquid secreted from the rotting corpse!"
Qiu Yue nodded and said, "Actually, we came to find the owner of the mask at the beginning, but we didn't expect that the dead corpse could still make a ghost crying sound." ”
The little Taoist priest said: "It's really hard to believe, but the soul of this carrion corpse is controlled by a bell, so it's different." ”
"Rotten but not stiff, dead but not ghost, not stiff and not ghost, it may be the living dead who make ghost sounds...... "Kushi said in a deep voice.
The little Taoist priest didn't seem to expect Master Ku to say this, and said with a slight surprise: "This is what my master often said before his death, he once told me that most of the living dead are dead and their bodies are rotten, but the seven souls and six spirits still exist in their own bodies, so they have created a half-dead state, and there are still some memories before death." Those strange cries and sighs just now can show that these people died miserably, if you guessed correctly, they are all a group of poor innocent people, who died and were used by others, and became the living dead. ”
Qiu Yue said: "The ancient tomb artifacts are all in danger, generally the more dangerous the place, the more it means that there are traces to be found, there may be a key point, we are heading in this direction." ”
Bao Cai said: "Go back, but it's still the same sentence, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, in case we suddenly disappear like Xiaoba, a few of us have to find a way to get involved, in case one of them is targeted, the other few can be detected immediately." ”
The little Taoist priest said: "That's right, but these vines have pain, find some dead old vines, we tie them around our waists, I hope we can catch up to save Brother Wang." ”
I nodded and said, "What I'm most worried about now is Bajian, the living dead are going to be cruel, I'm afraid that it will be a waste of time for us to say one more word now." ”
Bao Cai said bitterly: "Yes, this good man will disappear if he says that he will not see it, but if we go in that direction, will we definitely be able to find those living dead? ”
Just when we didn't have eyebrows, there was a "squeak", and the little fire monkey appeared again, it was jumping on the branches, and it seemed to be in a hurry, and Baocai's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Little monkey, do you know where the nest of those things is? ”
The little fire monkey can't understand human language, but from its anxious appearance, it must be to show us the way, the little Taoist priest immediately decided, first found a dead vine, everyone hurriedly tied it, as if the Flying Tigers went to complete the task, everyone moved quickly.
Then, Baocai pointed ahead and said to the fire monkey: "Little girl, lead the way!"
The little fire monkey understood the gestures, and climbed up the branches of the tree, leading us forward quickly, although everyone had different cadences, and often stumbled over the things tied around their waists, but no one said much. Right now, only Hachi's life is our top priority.
As we hurried along the road, ghostly sounds reappeared, and these sounds surrounded our heads, as if we were in a cave, and countless bats surrounded us, mocking our feelings. Although I was very unhappy and scared, but thinking that Bajian was made by these living dead people not like people, ghosts did not look like ghosts, and my intestines were rotten, I was no longer in the mood to pay attention to these strange voices, followed behind the little Taoist, and moved forward without hesitation.
The treasure behind me took out the thousand eyeballs that the ancestor gave him, wanting to ward off evil spirits, and kept reading in his mouth: "Bodhisattva bless, bless us safe, bless Wang Bajian from being decomposed, don't let him breathe......"
Listening to Baocai's nervous incoherent speech, I really can't cry or laugh, but adversity sees the truth, he is actually very righteous to Xiaoba, that is, when Xiaoba is occasionally skinny, love and Baocai joke.
The eerie laughter stopped again, the bell sounded again, and the little fire monkey heard the sound and stopped moving forward, apparently the bell was its nightmare.
The treasurer heard the voice, his earlobes fluttered wildly, and he said happily: "It's just ahead!"
We looked at each other, walked around the vines, the bell ended, the ghost sound lingered in my ears again, the big guy kept walking, although I was prepared to face the predicament, but the thought of the possibility of seeing a standing corpse, my heart was still furious.
Soon, we were getting closer and closer to the sound of the bell, and even the ghost sound after that seemed to have become dense from the fluttering just now, and it was clear that we were on the right track.
The voice of treasure is like a sifting of chaff, and he says, "No...... The sight that won't wait is that we are in the colosseum of Rome, and a large number of female ghosts are sitting in a row, looking at us small living people, right?"
I didn't expect Baocai's brain hole to be so big, and said: "Don't scare yourself first, anyway, I have already heard the sound of the bell, as long as the bell is destroyed, Bajian will be saved, and the companions of the little fire monkey may also be saved." ”
Bao Cai poured cold water and said: "I am very suspicious now, these living dead are not real people, they want to use Bajian to blackmail us, and return them to you without killing." ”
In fact, I also have this level of worry, indeed, the living dead are murderous creatures, it may catch Bajian and kill it, not to mention the companion of the little fire monkey, from the wound of the fire monkey, its companion has been in distress for a long time, and the living corpse cannot have this concept, fatten up and then eat, after all, they are emotionless dead people in the sense, only resentment before death.
However, when I saw the eager and hopeful eyes of the little fire monkey, I seemed to think that there might be salvation, and that Bajian and the fire monkey's companions were still saved.
Just as I was thinking like this, my waist tightened, and before I realized what was happening, the little Taoist priest had turned around vigilantly and shouted, "It's coming!"
The treasure behind him stumbled a step, tripped over the roots of the tree, and Qiu Yue was carried to the ground by it, and the treasurer at the back, holding a torch, frowned, on his mouth, I saw a pair of white hands covered, the owner of the hand was next to the head of the treasurer, revealing half a sad and vicious face, it stared at us with an extremely resentful eye, and its hair was black and long, I saw that my chest was suffocating, this woman was like a ghost killer on a cold rainy night, holding hostages, which made people shudder! )
