Chapter 242: Yin and Yang Strange Voices
The eight white-clothed men turned back again and picked up the rest of the people.
"You can take it off. The man in white said coldly to the few of them, and then turned to the city lord and said, "City lord, this time I have worked hard for you, please don't mind." ”
City Lord Zhao Mingxun laughed: "This little thing, who will rest assured, the hour is almost over, it's almost time to be buried." ”
The rich man looked at the sky, estimated the approximate time, and then waved his hand: "Let's start!"
The eight big men who carried the coffin continued to exert their efforts, lifting the giant coffin halfway up the mountainside, this distance seemed extremely difficult, and several times some people almost slipped, but there were a few men in white guarding from the side, and there was no problem.
Finally, they came halfway up the mountain, where a cave had been dug out early in the morning. The entrance of the cave is a little bigger than the giant coffin, and when you enter the class stone, you find that there is a universe inside, and the dim candle flame illuminates the cave gloomily, and the eight big men feel strange when they carry the giant coffin.
This section of the road seems to be very long, and after the Huiban Stone, you will see a natural deep well in the depths of the cave. Even after manual digging, the patio is wide enough to lay down the coffin horizontally.
At this time, not to mention Ban Shi and Zi Shufang, even those who carried the giant coffin felt that this matter was strange. Although the reason of the rich man is reasonable in his way, but for the burial of his deceased mother, it is necessary to make it so complicated, is it necessary to be so mysterious?
Although he felt that it was inappropriate, Ban Shi still couldn't think of a particularly obvious contradiction, maybe it was because the artist was bold, maybe it was because the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, he and Zi Shufang glanced at each other, and the two already had some tacit understanding without words.
"Okay! stop!" the rich man called out to a halt, and looked carefully at the deep well in the cave. The depth and width are more appropriate, he nodded with satisfaction, the corners of his eyes squinted, and he smiled lightly at the man in white, ready to go.
Ban Shi's eyes narrowed, and he deliberately pretended not to see it, this old lady Huang's funeral was really boring. Unexpectedly, he encountered this kind of evil thing when he went out of the mountain for the first time, he patted Zi Shufang's shoulder and signaled to each other to cheer each other up.
"Okay, the eight of you come and hang this coffin and hold it. ”
I saw the man in white take out a few arm-thick hemp ropes and tie the pure copper coffin like a zongzi, it seems that he wants to pull the giant coffin and slowly put it into this deep well.
If it is buried in this way, then unless the deep well is smashed horizontally wide enough to open the lid of the coffin, the volume of the deep well is only one circle larger than the coffin, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to steal the body of Mrs. Huang.
Ban Shi sneered in his heart, this way of the rich man Huang is only dealing with ordinary people.
If someone with a spell comes, it doesn't do it at all.
But then again, a person who has achieved magic does not bother to do such indiscriminate things, gold and silver jewelry is useful among the people, but it is useless for cultivators, at most to exchange some spiritual grass.
The eight big men grabbed the hemp rope, and the muscles of the whole body tensed. Hanging this coffin down is not as simple as carrying the hall, so everyone is engrossed, for fear that something will go wrong. As long as the burial is completed, each of them can take ten lower grade spirit grasses, which is enough for their living expenses for a period of time.
"It's now!" the delicate man in white ordered.
The white-clothed guards under his command used all their strength to erect the giant coffin at seventy degrees.
"Tightened. The city lord was also watching, "You guys go and help too!"
Ban Shi and the others immediately joined the ranks of the eight strong men and tightly fastened the hemp rope. Suddenly, Ban Shi felt a strong attack in his hand, and it was the giant coffin that slowly slid down to the deep well. Fortunately, there were more people, and everyone slowly put the giant coffin into the deep well.
"Whew! I'm tired, it's finally done. A big man wiped his sweat and said.
Huang Caizhu clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, you will have to work hard to guard the tomb next, I believe that there are so many heroes here, and it is expected that the corpse thief will not dare to come." ”
As soon as they heard the yellow rich man call them heroes, the big men suddenly became energetic.
"Yes, that thief dares to come, and I will sit on him with his ass. ”
"I punched him out. ”
"Why punch him, I'll poke him to death with one finger. ”
Ban Shi was dizzy when he heard it, but he finally made a fuss about this place for a while, and these big men really didn't have any spiritual energy in their brains except for their strength.
In the depths of the cave, there is no sunlight shining on it. However, the candles were very well lit, and a lot of food was brought. The rich man of Huang Liang, the necessities of guarding the tomb, was brought by him, and even brought bedding and mats.
A cool breeze came from nowhere, although it was a little cold, which proved that the cave was ventilated. Towards evening, only the light of candles flickered in the cave.
"Today is the first night, everyone is in good spirits. The city lord shouted.
The time in the cave seemed to be very long, and the first night had just begun. As night fell, a few bats flew back from the cave occasionally, but they were all driven out.
Suddenly, someone looked at the sixth aunt, didn't this sixth aunt say that it was used to accompany the funeral? A big man wanted to say something, but he was afraid that the rich man Huang had already changed his mind, and if he said it, he would offend the rich man Huang, so he thought about it or forget it.
But there are people who don't open which pot to mention, a big man drank a few sips of liquor, and saw the sixth aunt Taimei Xiangyue who was shrinking aside.
"Hey, why didn't these six aunts accompany the funeral?"
Originally, it was very quiet in the cave, and the big man said a word, and everyone's eyes looked at the poor Mei Xiangyue on the side.
The tears were not dry, the hair was scattered, and Mei Xiangyue at this time was like a frightened kitten, cowering and leaning against the inner wall of the cave.
"I don't want it, I don't want it......" Mei Xiangyue's eyes were full of begging for mercy, and it seemed that the pear blossoms were raining, and there were a few big men who really wanted to help her, but it was a pity that people were soft-spoken.
She turned her head to look at the rich man and looked at him with a begging look.
"Throw it down. The rich man said coldly.
"You can't do this to me, you can't!" Mei Xiangyue, who has always been submissive, didn't know where she got the courage, and shouted at the rich man, "You are busy with the funeral, who of the six aunts came to care about you, only me and me!"
The rich man Huang frowned, walked over and slapped Mei Xiangyue hard: "You dare to talk to me like this, and cover her mouth tightly for me." ”
Mei Xiangyue was covered with her mouth, and she could only widen her eyes and let out a faint whining.
Ban Shi, who was next to him, was angry, and was about to make a move, but was stopped by Zi Shufang.
Zi Shufang stepped forward: "Hehe, Yellow Rich Man, do you know what kind of human sacrifice is the best?"
"Oh, you know?"
"I won't tell you," Zi Shufang said with a smile, "It is said that this human sacrifice is the best to starve to death." Only in this way did she not dare to disobey Mrs. Huang's order after her death and serve her old man forever. ”
The yellow rich man raised his eyebrows: "Oh, is it?"
"Yes, if she starves to death, she won't dare to do anything right, otherwise you see her temper just now, maybe she will have to fight with Mrs. Huang?"
"Yes, that makes sense. ”
The Yellow Rich Man nodded.
"Take a rope and hang her down. ”
Ban Shi has no good impression of this rich man now, and his so-called filial piety to his mother is probably just pretending. It's just that it's not yet the time for the attack, and Mei Xiangyue should be fine at the bottom of the well for a while and a half. He glanced at Zi Shufang, but he didn't expect that Zi Shufang still had a lot of ideas.
Mei Xiangyue was left alone at the bottom of the well, her hands and feet were tied, and in front of her was Mrs. Huang's pure copper coffin. Looking at this cold giant coffin, her heart was extremely frightened, did she really want to starve to the bottom of this well and turn into a pile of dry bones. Thinking of this, a sadness welled up in her heart.
He was originally an orphaned child, who was sold again and again, and finally became the sixth room of the rich man. Six rooms are six rooms, there is always something to rely on, I didn't expect this rich man to be bad at that, he was so vicious. At this moment, she hoped that the corpse thief would come here and steal Mrs. Huang's body. If you're lucky, save yourself.
Hiss.
A slight sound came into Mei Xiangyue's ears, and somehow, it was like the sound of a fingernail scraping an iron plate, which made people very uncomfortable to listen to.
Click.
Another bang. Mei Xiangyue's eyes widened, and cold sweat kept flowing down, as if this voice came from the copper coffin, could it be that she had just cursed Mrs. Huang's body for being stolen and that Mrs. Huang knew.
Click. After a slight second sound, the sound at the bottom of the well was never gone. It turned out to be a bat, as if it had been injured, and its claws had just touched the copper coffin.
Mei Xiangyue's cold sweat soaked her underwear, she closed her eyes, and was silent in her sadness and fear.
"Am I going to die here?" Mei Xiangyue was unwilling.
The people on the well were also slightly tired, especially the eight big men who carried the coffin, and they couldn't help but feel sleepy as soon as they sat down to eat something after the day's fatigue.
Ban Shi and Zi Shufang were of course not tired, but they still wanted to pretend, Ban Shi pretended to yawn and stretched, stood up and walked to the well and glanced at Mei Xiangyue.
"Hee-hee-hee!"
A voice that was neither male nor female came.
A few stones flew by, knocking down the candle flame on the mountain wall.
In this quiet night, such a sudden sound was particularly frightening, and the candle flame was only two in the distance, and the area around the deep well seemed very dim.
"Who is it!" the city lord looked extremely annoyed, needless to say, it was naturally the corpse robbers who came.
A pebble flew out from an unknown angle, instantly penetrating the brain of a big man. The big man didn't react, and he fell to the ground, blood spilling all over the ground.
"Hee-hee-hee!"
The voice was ghostly, echoing in the air.
"Oh my God!" a big man couldn't stand the stimulus, so he pulled his legs and ran to the entrance of the cave, and he ran with the three of them.
"Be careful!" Ban Shi shouted, but it was too late.
The four big men fell to the ground with a few pops, and the sound of falling to the ground was like a giant hammer smashing on everyone's heart.
Ban Shi looked at these innocent deaths, and felt uncomfortable, this corpse thief was really hateful, and he must find him out in the end.
"There are so many people, let's play a game!" A yin and yang strange voice came, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman, which was particularly creepy.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Hee-hee-hee, I'm what you call a corpse stealer. ”
The atmosphere was a little solemn, the city lord and the old man with iron palms were standing together, the yellow rich man was with the handsome man in white, and Ban Shi was with a few people brought by the city lord.
"I tell you a secret, and I am among you. ”
Ban Shi bit his lower lip and looked carefully at the people around him. Everyone reacted in a similar way, and the eyes that looked at their companions seemed to become strange.
"Banshi, this is ventriloquism. Zi Shufang whispered.
Ventriloquism, that is, not speaking with the mouth, but through the guò abdomen to make sounds.
"Who do you think it is?"
"It's hard to say. Zi Shufang carefully watched everyone's reactions.
In the dark, a person's face seemed to be a little distorted.
"Ahh A big man suddenly let out an exclamation, as if a hand had just grabbed him, and by the time he reacted, he was already standing in front of the candlelight.
"Hey, guess who's the corpse stealer. ”
The big man was in a panic, he stood in the open place, and he couldn't see everyone's faces clearly.
"It's the kid in white! the one with a scar on his face. ”
"Hey, that's wrong. A stone shot out of the darkness quickly, and the big man couldn't see it.
A white-clothed guard rushed to the candle flame: "Pretend to be a ghost." ”
He swung his knife and made a defensive gesture while his eyes were staring carefully into the darkness ahead. Ban Shi looked at it, and it turned out that this white-clothed satellite TV had the cultivation of the early stage of rotation.
Shout. A stone shot out quickly, and the white-clothed guard had good eyesight, and he slashed at the stone with a knife, which was not bad at all.
Knives, slashing at stones.
Click. The knife actually broke, but the stone still shot through the head of the white-clothed guard impartially.
"Ahh
The white-clothed scar boy who wanted to do it was a little stunned, but it was better to brake quietly. Anyway, I'm definitely not the corpse robber. It may not only be the young man in white who may have this thought, but also the city lord and the old man with the iron palm, after all, none of them want to risk their lives.
"Hey, no one objected, so the game continued. ”
This time, the one who was selected was still a white-clothed satellite TV, who witnessed the tragic death of his companion and had no heart to resist. He looked at everyone tremblingly, and then his eyes locked on Ban Shi. This kid doesn't talk much, maybe it's him.
"It's him!" the man pointed to Banshi.
As a result, needless to say, there is one less white guard.
"Hey, it's not exciting enough, so it's just ten people together. ”
The remaining six white-clothed guards, as well as the four coffin-carrying men, were all brought to the candle flame by a mysterious hand.
"His grandmother is playing with us!" the two white-clad guards stopped in front, "you run to the cave." ”
A few stones flew over, and these two white-clothed guards seemed to be in good hands, since they blocked a few. But in a moment it was defeated.
"The cave is sealed!" a desperate voice came from afar.
"Hey, the eight of you came and guessed, and I let you go. ”
Eight people, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know who is the real corpse robber.
"Just the one on the far left, guess!" This mysterious voice seemed to come from the southeast, and it seemed to be from the northwest, Ban Shi couldn't hear it at all, and his head was a little cloudy.
The big man on the left staggered out, and he looked at the people on the right, and saw that the rest of them were pinning their hopes on him.
"Lord of the City, you are the corpse robber. ”
Dahan uttered an answer that he didn't believe in himself, and there was silence. The strange voice did not sound again, and the big man's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, so he guessed correctly.
Ban Shi pondered in his heart: "This voice is neither male nor female, someone must have deliberately confused it." ”
