Chapter 21: The Corpse Keeper (1)

"Lying down, lying down, really, really have a female ghost!" Zhang Meng whispered, her voice trembling a little. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

I was also scared and my hair blew up.

is still a little fat who has seen a lot and is more daring than a gourd, and said to me and Zhang Meng: "Don't be afraid, what is a little female ghost, see the fat master accepts it." ”

Although I said that, after all, we are naked now, and we don't have any guys in our hands, even if Xiaopang is good and has brute strength, if it is really a female ghost, I am afraid I can't parry. Xiaopang also knew this, so he said it, but he didn't dare to step forward easily.

We held on to the woman in red like this, and since we didn't see her face, we couldn't tell whether it was a human or a ghost for the time being.

The woman in red stood there motionless, not even breathing, her hair hanging down to her waist like a black cloth, her head hanging slightly, and the red clothes on her body were like blood.

Zhang Meng whispered to me and Xiaopang: "Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, just like we are now, don't talk about female ghosts, female hooligans can't deal with them, no matter if it's a human or a ghost, I think it's better to go." With that, he slowly stepped back. Xiaopang and I listened to Zhang Meng's reasoning, and slowly retreated.

At this moment, the woman in red suddenly reacted, only to see her head slowly raised and slowly turned around. The strange thing is that she is different from ordinary people who turn around, and ordinary people turn their heads first, and then their bodies turn around, or they move their feet first, and then turn their bodies and heads again. But the woman in red turned her head and body together, and did not see her feet move, as if she had turned one hundred and eighty degrees on a shaft.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Meng and I yelled "Mom", and wanted to turn around and run back, but I didn't know what was going on. No matter what, he couldn't turn around, and he couldn't move at all, as if he was stuck to the ground.

And Chubby's reaction was completely different from that of our brothers, his first reaction was not to run away, but to squat down first. I thought to myself, Chubby is really weird. In this case, he didn't think about running for his life first, but first thinking that he was still naked, squatting down to protect his body, it seems that he is really not afraid of female ghosts and women.

At this thought, the woman had turned around, and by the light of the flashlight, we could finally see her face clearly. Where is the face, but a ball of flesh crawling with corpse locusts!

I saw large and small black corpse locusts wriggling and twisting on the ball of flesh. Some of them drilled in and out of it, and I almost threw up when I saw it.

"Damn, it's a female ghost!" As soon as Xiaopang saw that it was a female ghost and not a woman, he immediately let go again, stood up violently, and wanted to rush over with the flashlight to play with the female ghost.

At this moment, I saw that the female ghost's hair suddenly exploded, and countless strands of hair curled towards the three of us. Before we could react, three strands of hair wrapped around our necks.

I was instantly overwhelmed. I hurriedly grabbed the hair with both hands, trying to tear the hair away from my neck, but to no avail, the hair became tighter and tighter, my breathing became more and more difficult, and my throat unconsciously made a "hmm, hmm" sound. His eyes began to darken, as if his consciousness had begun to blur.

In a trance, I saw that the little fat in front of me and Zhang Meng next to me were also struggling, but it was useless, Zhang Meng had already knelt on the ground.

Just when our lives were hanging by a thread. Suddenly I heard a sharp sound of breaking wind, there seemed to be a sharp flash in the culvert, a dark golden light pierced the front heart of the female ghost in red like a thunderbolt, only to hear a terrible wail of the female ghost in red, and my eardrum was about to burst, at the same time, the body of the female ghost in red seemed to burst, and a red light suddenly appeared in the culvert, and the entire culvert was dyed bloody by this red light.

The red light lasted less than a second or two before fading and disappearing, and the culvert was quiet again.

With the disappearance of the red light, my consciousness gradually recovered, and the scene in front of me gradually became clear, only to see Zhang Meng kneeling on the ground, the little fat feet were spread, standing like a horse, and there was no female ghost in red in front of us, empty, as if nothing had happened, there was no female ghost's hair on our necks, but our own hands were tightly pinching our necks!

However, there was one more thing on the rock wall of the culvert on the opposite side - a sword, a large black sword that emitted a tungsten golden light, and the blade of the sword pierced deep into the rock wall, revealing only the hilt.

I recognized it at a glance, this sword was Wu Lan's giant sword.

Before I came back to my senses, I saw a figure flashing, a person had already arrived next to the sword, and with a slight draw, the sword was pulled out of the rock wall, and I took a closer look, this person was Wu Lan, who had disappeared for several months.

"Wu Lan!" Chubby and I screamed at about the same time.

But Wu Lan didn't seem to be able to delay, just smiled at us, nodded, and then picked up his sword and ran to the depths of the culvert, just after running a few steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped and turned around and pointed in the direction behind us, as if signaling us to go over there, and then turned around and ran.

"What kind of plane? How did Wu Lan appear here? Is he stalking us? Chubby and I looked at each other and said.

"I thought he had an accident in the Tiangang tomb a few months ago, but I didn't expect him to be alive." I said.

"I knew he couldn't die, how could someone like him die like a Predator, but it was strange to suddenly appear in this place."

"He seems to be chasing something?"

"Well, let's leave him alone for now, it's better to do our own thing." Chubby said, turning and walking to the other side of the culvert.

"Fat guy, didn't you say you feel like those corpse locusts are here? What are you doing over there? Zhang Meng asked.

"I heard the advice of people to eat a full meal, didn't that Wu Lan just now mean over there, go over there first."

Although Chubby is very confident, he never moves the bar, which is also one of his strengths.

We followed Chubby back to the well, and walked to the other side, which was similar to that side, with a carved rock wall and some rock debris on the ground, but this side seemed to be wider than the other.

After walking for about four or five minutes, we smelled something terrible, and after walking a little further, we found that there was a hole in the wall on the left side of the culvert, and the smell seemed to emanate from it.

", what's this smell?" Zhang Meng covered her nose and said, "No one will poop here." ”

"You have nothing to do, run down the ground to poop?" I said, "Besides, it doesn't smell like poop, it's a bit like ...... It's kind of like a dead cat. ”

I can't think of anything to describe the taste.

"Have you ever smelled a dead cat?"

"No, but I feel like that's what it tastes like if the cat dies for a week."

"Is there a bunch of dead cats in this hole?"

Zhang Meng and I discussed the origin of this taste.

"Don't guess," Chubby said on the side, "this is the smell of 'corpse cave'." ”

"Corpse cave? What corpse cave? Zhang Meng asked as she looked at Chubby with wide eyes. I'm also curious.

"I heard my uncle say that there are two kinds of secret techniques in Xiangxi, one is to drive corpses, and the other is to raise corpses. The person who chases the corpse is naturally called the corpse chaser, and the person who raises the corpse is called the corpse keeper, which are two professions. The so-called corpse is a spell that can drive the corpse to walk in the legend, that is, let a string of corpses that die in a foreign country, follow behind the corpse chaser, and return to their hometown through the state and provinces, it is said to be a kind of Maoshan Taoism, and some people say that it is related to Miao witchcraft, which is part of Chu witch culture, Miao witchcraft is divided into black witchcraft and white witchcraft, and the corpse belongs to white witchcraft. Raising a corpse is similar to driving a corpse, and the provenance is the same, but it's even weirder, it's a way to keep the corpse from rotting, and it is said that the corpse can eventually be resurrected through this method, but I think this statement is a bit nonsense, but there were people who did do this before, they put the raised corpse in a hole, and then used a certain method to feed, I heard that the thing that feeds this corpse can only be other corpses, so the corpses in this hole are often piled up, and this hole is called a 'corpse hole'. But this secret technique of raising corpses is too secretive, and my uncle doesn't know the specific situation, so he didn't tell me. ”

"But doesn't it mean that this corpse-raising technique is a secret technique in Xiangxi, why do people use this secret technique in a small village in the desert outside the Saiwai?" I asked.

"Well, I don't know, but the smell coming from this cave is indeed a smell that can only be found after years of piling up a large number of rotting corpses."

Zhang Meng and I were a little timid when we heard Xiaopang say this, are we going to this hole full of corpses?

Xiaopang saw our thoughts and said: "Fortunately, our brother is a naked man, the corpse cave is indeed very yin, but men have masculinity, especially naked men, pure yang body, can dissolve yin, so don't worry about being entangled in unclean things, the rest is nothing more than some carrion and dry bones, you and I have life and death, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

I said in my heart, don't talk nonsense, why did the body of pure yang meet a female ghost over there just now, and almost lost his life, even if there is no unclean thing, then it is said that people are flesh and blood, and after death, it is nothing more than rotten flesh and dry bones, but after all, the dead are not the same as the living, can you not panic in a large number of dead corpses and bones? Xiaopang said this just to give me and Zhang Meng courage.

Xiaopang saw that Zhang Meng and I still didn't dare to enter the corpse cave, and said: "The corpse locust survives by sucking rotting corpses, this corpse cave must be the nest of corpse locusts, if you want to detoxify the corpse, you can only enter the corpse cave, Brother Dong, Lao Meng, the two brothers must be fine with me." let’s go。 ”

After Xiaopang finished speaking, he snapped his fingers and went into the corpse hole.

Zhang Meng and I couldn't see that we couldn't go in, so we stubbornly followed Xiaopang into the corpse cave one after the other. (To be continued.) )
