Chapter 24: The Corpse Keeper (4)

Ignoring the obstruction of me and Zhang Meng, Xiaopang found a big stone from the ground, and after a few strokes, he smashed a hole at the bottom of the coffin, and the red liquid in the coffin flowed out "gurgling, gurgling", strangely, these liquids were blood-red in the coffin, but when they flowed to the ground, they became like water and were transparent.

As the liquid in the coffin continued to decrease, and the corpse gradually surfaced, Zhang Meng and I watched from the side becoming more and more nervous.

The work was not large, almost all the liquid in the coffin was gone, and the owner in the coffin finally revealed her true face, but to my surprise and Zhang Meng, what was lying in the coffin was not the white-haired zongzi we imagined before, let alone a monster with blue faces and fangs, but a stunning woman!

I saw that this woman had two eyes closed, her hair was black, she was wearing a long red dress, although her face was a little pale, but it brought out the beauty of her facial features, she was lying in the coffin, where she looked like a dead corpse, just like she had just fallen asleep, it looked so comfortable and natural, Zhang Meng and I looked stupid.

"This little girl looks pretty good. "Chubby's foul words woke me and Zhang Meng up from infinite fascination.

", you fat guy, are you a cold-blooded animal, can you say such foul words to such a beauty" Zhang Meng said: "But then again, this girl looks like she is twenty-one or two years old, she looks like she just died, I don't know who she is, why she was buried in this corpse cave." ”

"I said Lao Meng, you say that you are naΓ―ve, you still don't admit it, you look at this corpse as if you have just died, in fact, I don't know how many years it has been dead, she can keep it like this, it is all protected by the secret skills of the corpse keeper, and the corpse has not decayed, or it will have rotted into a pile of mud. Chubby said.

Zhang Meng was not convinced. Just wanted to argue with Xiaopang, I saw that the corpse changed, the skin on her face quickly turned gray-brown and wrinkled, her body shriveled and shriveled, and the clothes on her body changed from red to black and gray, only for a moment. There was still some stunning woman lying in the coffin, and she had turned into a dry skeleton.

Zhang Meng and I were stunned by this sudden change, we couldn't believe our eyes, Xiaopang seemed to have expected such a change, and made a grimace at Zhang Meng and said: "How is it......? What do you mean? By the way, study hard. Every day, young people should read more, recharge more, enrich themselves, and arm their brains with knowledge, so as not to become frogs at the bottom of the well. Hey, young man, hey, hey......" Chubby said. took a flashlight and shook it on Zhang Meng's face.

When I saw it, Zhang Meng was still stunned. Staring at the body in the coffin with two big eyes and a big grin, I pushed his arm with my hand, and he swallowed and foamed, and then came back to his senses.

Zhang Meng's first sentence when he came back to his senses was: "It's a pity that such a big beauty." ”

When I heard it, it turned out that Zhang Meng was not surprised by the change in the corpse. It's a pity that the beauty in the coffin has turned into dry bones, it seems that the dog can't change the eating of, which makes me and Chubby laugh.

"You fat guy, look at what you're doing, this beautiful woman is lying here well. Is it easy to keep the corpse from decaying and the face from changing? If you are not recruited or provoked, why do you have to destroy others? Zhang Meng scolded.

"Phew, bah, bah, you lack virtue, I said Lao Meng, you don't understand, forget it, let me tell you, do you think this corpse keeper can raise the corpse so that it only depends on the liquid in the coffin? I used to hear my uncle say that all secret techniques like raising corpses must have a gain and a loss, just like Taoism's collection of yin and yang, yang must be yin damage, and the same is true for raising corpses, if you want to raise corpses well and keep corpses from rotting, you must work hard from the living people, it is said that corpse keepers will cultivate a large number of corpse locusts or corpse roaches while raising corpses, and these corpse locusts or corpse cockroaches will continue to look for living people to absorb the essence of the corpse to feed the corpse...... This, I don't know the specific details, but raising corpses will definitely cause harm to the living, fat man, this is not a lack of virtue, but to eliminate harm for the people, and accumulate great virtue, how can a mortal like you understand......"

Before Xiaopang finished speaking, he heard a strange sound coming from the six smaller coffins next to him, as if there were countless mulberry silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves, and these sounds gathered together were particularly harsh, making people unconsciously get goosebumps.

We hurriedly used a flashlight to shine into those coffins, and found that the corpse locusts in the coffins were constantly rolling and surging like waves.

This scene stunned me and Zhang Meng again, this time even Xiaopang was a little surprised, not much work, the waves of those corpse locusts were getting smaller and smaller, and the sound of biting was getting smaller and smaller, and finally there was no movement at all, and then I looked at those coffins, all the corpse locusts became fragmented, soaked in green liquid.

"It's really tragic. Xiaopang sighed: "It seems that these corpse locusts and the corpse raised by the corpse keeper are also symbiotic, after the corpse is finished, the corpse locusts also lost control and went crazy, killing each other, retribution, retribution, Amitabha, good, good." ”

"Damn, don't stick green onions in your pig's nose, pretend to be a mammoth, fat guy, even if you do it right this time, our business is done, and this corpse has also been seen, so hurry up and get out of this hellish place." Zhang Meng said.

I didn't want to stay in this place any longer, so I hurried to leave, so the three of us exited the corpse cave, returned the same way, found the mouth of the qanat, and walked out of the qanats along the stone steps.

Lao Zhang and Xiangzi were still waiting for us next to the wellhead, and when they saw us coming out, they quickly helped us out of the wellhead one by one. When Chubby came out and went down, because his body was too fat and the wellhead was too small, we worked together for a long time to drag him out of the well, and he squeaked in pain.

Lao Zhang asked, "Why did you go down for so long? Didn't you encounter any situation?

"Nothing happened, everything went well, it was done. Chubby said as he rubbed his arm.

Zhang Meng and I didn't want to mention the matter of the corpse cave, and we also felt that it was unnecessary to talk to them, and it might complicate things, so we didn't mention it.

We went back to the hut and wiped our bodies with a towel dipped in water. Although the vinegar smell is difficult to remove, it is much stronger than before, at least not like it has just been fished out of the vinegar vat. After cleaning up, we got dressed and went to the room next door where we had settled in.

Uncle Hai and Ah Mei were waiting for us in the room, Uncle Hai squinting. Smoking a hookah, half-leaning on the mat in the corner, Amei was serving beside him, seeing us come in, Uncle Hai took a puff of hookah, chirped twice, coughed, and said, "Come back alive? I have to do it according to your method, look, I didn't follow the local method of Wang Fatzi to take risks, don't I live well, forget it, there is no danger, just play a circle. ”

Zhang Meng and I saw that Uncle Hai really didn't have any problems, and I don't know if it was because Uncle Hai used his expensive imported medicine, and I also muttered a little in my heart. There are also some doubts about the effectiveness of the methods described in Chubby's uncle's "Tomb Robbery Manual" to remove the poison from corpse locusts, and we have not had any problems so far. Isn't this corpse locust poison as terrifying as the legend says?

Xiaopang didn't want to raise the bar with Uncle Hai, so he said sarcastically: "That is, your old man is not an ordinary person, he has experienced a lot, he has seen a lot, and he has never seen any big storms." What can this little corpse locust do to you? How can our juniors compare, we can only use this soil method to comfort and comfort ourselves, but fortunately everyone is fine, and it is also thanks to you. ”

Uncle Hai likes to listen to flattery the most, and it is very useful to listen to what Xiaopang says. It didn't make sense for him to say anything else, so he asked Ah Mei to give him a hookah again, squinting and smoking a hookah.

It seems that the language barrier is a mistake, not fully prepared, can not find a suitable guide, it is a very dangerous thing to venture into the desert, to say that the serious point is simply to send to death, therefore, after discussion, we still decided to go back to Beijing first, re-plan, and make full preparations before going to find the ancient city of the sun.

Seeing that it is not early today, we are ready to buy some things in case we need it on the way back to Beijing. Since the people of this village were very repulsive to outsiders, and they did not speak the language of the locals, and we could not buy what we needed, we had to go to the shop on the west side of the village to buy things, and although the owner of the shop, the old man with a goatee, was rather cold to us, at least he could understand what we were saying and sell us what we needed.

We discussed, Chubby and I went shopping, and the others stayed in the house.

I was walking and chatting with Chubby, I used to be a programmer, and I was a person who wasn't usually very talkative, but Chubby was very good at talking, and there was always something to talk about with him, and if someone chatted while walking, I wouldn't feel how far the road was, and before I knew it, we had come to the old man's shop.

The shop was still deserted as it had been when I had been here, the door was open, and Chubby and I stepped into it, and the old man with the goatee was still alone in the shop, sitting behind the counter, with his head bowed, as if he were fiddling with something.

The old man with the goatee looked up and saw that it was us, and since we had been here twice before, he knew that we were here to buy something, so he didn't speak, and lowered his head again and continued to fiddle with what he was holding.

"Old man, we're here to disturb again, buy some more things," Chubby said without words.

The old man with the goatee only said "um".

The little chubby cheek was thicker than the city bricks, and the old man ignored him and didn't care, with his hands behind his back and humming a little song in his mouth, walking around the store, looking at things.

After turning around for a while, he said to the old man: "Old man, bring me thirty ham sausages, ask for meat cubes, don't mix starch, and then bring a box of mineral water, preferably from Nongfu Spring, and then ten packs of instant noodles, by the way, it is best to have that kind of non-fried grain dojo, if not, the fried ones are also okay......"

As soon as I heard it, there were a lot of things about this little chubby.

After listening to this, the old man put the things he was fiddling with on the counter, turned around and took the things that the old man wanted, and the little fat slipped to the front of the counter where the old man was just staying, and picked up the things that the old man put on the counter and looked at it, and I saw clearly that it was a watch.

I said in my heart that Chubby really doesn't talk about any rules, and casually messes with other people's things. Chubby glanced at the watch twice, put it to his ear and listened to it, and then put it on the counter, still humming a little song in his mouth.

The old man with the goatee took what Chubby wanted and put it on the counter, and took out a calculator to settle the score.

At this moment, Xiaopang said coldly: "I saw Su Ziwen." ”

After hearing this, the old man's hand trembled, and the calculator fell on the counter. (To be continued.) )
