Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Corpse Inn, the Corpse Maker
At this moment, I didn't know how to comfort him, so I could only stay by his side and accompany him silently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I guess if I stay here, he won't feel alone.
After being silent for a long time, Mu Yang spoke.
During the conversation, I learned that he was actually adopted, and there was only one father in the family, and he had been dependent on his father since he was a child.
After about ten minutes, Muyang's mobile phone rang, and he gradually regained his calm to pick up the phone, and hung up in just one minute.
"It seems that you can only walk, can you do it?"
Muyang stood up, stared at me with an apologetic look on his face and said.
"You can carry the backpack on your back, and I can do it!"
I said shamelessly.
Because it was a halfway car, I really couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, but fortunately, the street lights above my head were still on, illuminating the path through.
This path is covered with yellow fallen leaves, and it is the sound of 'brushing' when you step on it.
We walked for a long time, and entered a big mountain, my limbs were numb, and I staggered when I walked, maybe I was hungry and had no strength, but I saw that Muyang was carrying so many things, so I didn't say anything.
After walking for about half an hour, we passed through a bamboo forest, and a house faintly appeared in front of us, Muyang glanced at me and said, "It's not easy to walk at night, let's go to the front to rest first, and then set off when the day dawns." ”
I looked around, it was dark, and the house was starting to become clear under the searchlight.
This is an ancient wooden house similar to an inn, but it is strange that this house has no door, the north and south are transparent, and there is no threshold at the door.
As soon as I stepped inside, I smelled a musty smell, and it was interesting that there was an attic, an old wooden staircase leading up from one side of the hall, which looked a little strange.
"Is this the house where the hunters lived? Why is there no door? ”
I asked curiously.
Mu Yang walked around the hall on the first floor, found some hay, found some firewood, and lit a fire.
Originally, the house was very shady, but I felt a little warm after the fire started.
"This isn't Orion's house, it's a corpse inn."
Mu Yang grabbed a handful of hay and threw it into the fire, and said lightly.
"Corpse Lodge! Damn, is there really such a place? ”
I glanced around and whispered, for fear of disturbing something.
Because the corpse chaser inn is specially prepared for corpse chasers, corpse chasers are a mysterious profession in Xiangxi.
Legend has it that thousands of years ago, Chi You, the ancestor of the Miao people, led his troops to fight against the enemy by the Yellow River, until the corpses were all over the field and the blood flowed like a river.
After the battle was over, they had to retreat to the rear, and after the soldiers carried the wounded soldiers away, because there were too many corpses and the mountain road was not easy to walk, the Apu military division thought of 'corpse control'!
Using the technique of corpse control, the Apu military division returned to his hometown with the soldiers who had died in battle.
Later, after hundreds of years of continuous improvement by later generations, this corpse control technique has been raised to a considerable level, and it has become the mastery of today's corpse chasers.
I've heard Shi Ling say that this corpse catcher will find the corpse catcher inn at dawn, and then rest here for a night, and then hurry when it gets dark, generally leading the corpse catcher with more corpses, the higher the path is, ordinary people don't dare to provoke the corpse catcher at all, this corpse catcher is the same existence as the spell world.
"This corpse inn does exist, but don't worry, with me here, even if it's a demon, I don't want to hurt you."
Mu Yang said coldly.
I shrugged my shoulders helplessly, Muyang, this kid is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, I have long been used to it.
Next, we talked about some things again, and Muyang was, 'En', 'Ah' had a sentence of answer, like a stuffy gourd.
I'm very bored, maybe I drank some water when I was in the car, and now there is a feeling of distension in my bladder, and after saying a word to Muyang, I ran outside the corpse inn to pee.
The wind outside the house was a little strong, and I was unbuttoning my trouser pockets when I suddenly heard a slight bell sound, and the sound of bells penetrated into my ears from far and near, and I was so frightened that I felt tremor, and goosebumps stood upside down.
I stared into the distance with bated breath, my eyes narrowing slightly.
The sound of bells came from a distance one after another, although it was an ordinary bell sound, but there was always an indescribable meaning in it, as if it tugged at your heartstrings, feeling very uncomfortable, making people want to stay away.
Not long after, a tall, gray man in a gray robe appeared in my sight.
He held a palm-sized copper bell in his hand, and carried a gray cloth bag around his waist, which was bulging, and he would shake the bell every few steps, and then his right hand reached into the cloth bag and grabbed the dark money and scattered it into the sky, muttering: "Yin people go on the road, Yang people avoid it." ”
His movements were regular, as if every movement made sense.
"Corpse Chaser!"
I almost exclaimed.
I don't know what luck I have today, not to mention seeing the corpse chaser inn, but also seeing the legendary corpse chaser with my own eyes.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the gray-clothed corpse chaser, and found that he was actually coming towards me, I looked behind him again, and found that there were three tall walking corpses behind him, wearing a robe, wearing a hat on their heads, and their faces were blurred, but they were all pasted with a piece of yellow paper, on which something was written in cinnabar, and the distance between these three walking corpses was seven feet, and every time I shook the bell, these walking corpses would jump forward, and their movements were very consistent, not like someone pretending at all.
"What are you doing here, trying to get into the spirit? Hurry inside. ”
I was looking at it intently, and suddenly Mu Yang's cold voice came from my ears, I shivered, and followed honestly.
The fire in the house was burning, and the dry wood made a crackling sound, and I approached Muyang intentionally or unintentionally, staring at the gate a little nervously.
The wind outside was very strong, and this corpse inn was convection, and the wind was whirring.
A moment later, the man in gray appeared in the doorway, glanced at me with some stiffness, and then turned his head away with a blank face.
I saw him clearly and gasped in horror.
How can there be such an ugly person in this world, not only ugly, but also very hideous, the corpse chaser's head is very large, full of beard, there is a long scar on the left side of his face, his mouth and eyes are very large, and he looks very fierce.
After the corpse chaser had parked the body, he staggered towards us and sat across from us without a sound.
"Two little brothers, Yang Lei warmed up by the fire, don't you mind?"
After the corpse catcher sat down, he suddenly grinned at us and said.
I'm sure he's smiling knowingly, but the scar on his face looks like a centipede crawling, as if it could pounce on you at any moment, which is very uncomfortable.
Seeing that he was still smiling and staring at me, my tongue seemed to be knotted, and I said, "No...... Don't mind. ”
Muyang glanced at Yang Lei, and then continued to stir up the fire to make it burn more vigorously, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Yang Lei saw that we were a little dull, so he took the initiative to ask, "Don't you two know that this is the corpse inn?" It stands to reason that except for corpse chasers, the living rarely come here to spend the night. ”
