Chapter 11: Alive?!
After listening to the old village chief's story, the old man nodded and said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"There are no wonders in the world, we humans think that we are the masters of this world, but we don't know that there are many species that are more powerful, and I can experience the ferocity of this worm."
"Owner, did you say the time of Lushan?"
"Yes, I think of the old man, what happened that night, and I still have my hair standing when I think of it today. Old man, have there been any strange rumors in that cave since then? ”
"Since it was sealed, it has not been able to enter, and besides, the Taoist priest has also chased here, and it is estimated that this thing is not owned locally."
The old man looked around, looking at the man and bear, and several of their sturdy men were also trembling when they heard it, probably thinking that the person was full of fear of insects, and they were all scratching unconsciously on their bodies.
"Brothers, listen well, it is most dangerous for us to go south and north, it is best to be cautious, okay, let's go and rest, and act according to the division of labor in three days, let's disperse."
Three days later, the funeral was held as scheduled, and the widow of the king cried and died, but fortunately, it was smooth and smooth with the help of everyone. As soon as the lid of the coffin was closed, the rest was handed over to the old man and his group.
According to the plan, the sarcophagus was placed in a place surrounded by a semicircle of dense forests, and the eight people were divided into two groups, each group stayed at one point to observe, and the group took turns to rest.
As soon as the sun had set, the people were in place with weapons, water, and dry food.
"Brother Man Xiong, you see that one-eyed dragon guy is in a daze again, do you remember the past again?"
"Lai Yu, don't guess, you and the one-eyed dragon have been together for a short time, I don't know him, he is not in a daze, he is focused, since the shipwreck destroyed an eye and ear, he said that people can calm down, and every time we go to sea, we are responsible for squatting and monitoring all the work is his."
On the other side, the three of them were also discussing in a whisper.
"Eighth master, after listening to what I said last night, I thought about it carefully after I went back, and I felt that this time the matter was not simple, could it be that the beetle appeared again?"
"Alas, short-legged, you think the same as me, and I'm also worried that if that beetle is resurrected, and a few corpses have been lost, where will we be opponents. What do you say, leper head? ”
"Back to the eighth master, the little one thinks it's impossible, because the person is dead, don't forget, the beetle only picks the living."
"Hopefully, leper head, you watch first, and I'll rest with Short Legs."
On the first night, it was safe and sound, the moonlight was bright, and things were clearly visible, except for some nocturnal animals, there was no abnormality at all, but the six people were fed with mosquitoes, and they were full of bags one by one, looking at Li Lao Lian and feeling distressed.
"Old eight, go and prepare a few pots, then boil the vinegar, pour it into the basin and put it around you at night, it will be much better."
Sure enough, Li Lao's soil method really worked, and several people obviously felt that there were a lot fewer mosquitoes.
Three days have passed, the sarcophagus has not moved, and there is no trace of thieves around, looking at the old eight and a few people are obviously haggard, the old man is also hesitating, is this matter of losing the body in the past? Or is the thief aware of it?
"Eighth brother, I'll go to guard it myself tonight, and you can replace the two brothers and have a good night's sleep."
"Don't, the owner will guard it himself, this is scolding us, if there is a mistake, how can we get it?"
"Old eight, you just listen to the owner, we have to go to Tanmen to go to the sea, if you lose your body here and get sick, the gains outweigh the losses, I will accompany the owner at night."
"Second master, don't make it difficult for a few of us, even if you lie in the house, you can't rest assured, just like this, in the first half of the night, you two guarded, and we all slept next to us, and then replace the two of you, okay?"
After nightfall, the old man originally planned to stay in one group with Li Lao to monitor, but the eighth child felt that it would be too boring to separate the two of them, so he insisted on letting them be together and himself in another group, so that the three of them went to work, and the rest of them all went to sleep.
Since the night in Lushan, the old man instinctively repelled the dense forest at night, and always felt that there would be those insects and mice, and although Li Lao's method was effective, there were still mosquito bites coming and going, and the night was quiet, and it itched and wanted to cut the meat.
However, the old man found that Li Lao was leisurely and not harassed at all.
"Brother, what method do you use, teach me, I'm itching to death."
"Hehe, owner, where am I a selfish person, it's just that this is not a method, but a result of practice, and it's useless for you to practice now."
"Huh? Can practice prevent mosquitoes? ”
"Yes, there are three kinds of qi in the human body, namely Wei Qi, Rong Qi and True Qi, Wei Qi walks on the epidermis, Rong Qi flows through the flesh and bones, and the True Qi sinks in the dantian and turns to Ren Du, after practicing, the three kinds of Qi will increase, especially the Wei Qi will become more and more full, so it floats thickly on the surface of the body, like a protective shell, and the insects and pigs can't get close."
"Alas, I also want to practice with my elder brother, but you also know the curse in this family, I have two children now, if they can't have children like my uncle, it will be troublesome, but I haven't had any children in the past two years, and the problem of this heir is still haunting me, and abstinence can't be done."
"The owner Mo Duo thinks, Nei Dan Gong does not have to abstain, if it is just to strengthen the body, don't indulge in lust, and besides, your problem is actually that the body needs to be conditioned, you might as well go back and learn from me, the human body is the most sophisticated, once activated, the hidden sickness will be forced out. Even if you don't want to become an immortal just to maintain your health, it's okay to be healthy and die without illness like my teacher. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, go back to school, alas, if only I could know when there will be another heir."
"What's so difficult about this, after the matter is over, the owner will make a hexagram, and I will show you."
The two of them were chatting quietly, and suddenly heard a sound, so they quickly lay down and became alert, and the old eight over there also found the abnormality, frowning and looking around, and the sleeping people were also quietly woken up with their mouths covered, and they picked up the guys one by one and waited.
The sound was intermittent, and when you listened carefully, it was muffled, as if it was knocking on something, and the direction had been identified, it was from the sarcophagus, but in the moonlight, except for the lonely sarcophagus, the surrounding vision was also transparent, and no trace of thieves or animals was found at all.
"Could it be ... Brother, our original guess has come true. Lai Yu, quietly went around to the eighth child and told them, no matter what happens, no one will move if I don't move, understand?! ”
Sure enough, the old eight and a few people were already planning to rush straight away, and after getting the order, they continued to monitor, and the percussion seemed to be getting more and more impatient, and the frequency confusion increased in force, but it suddenly stopped.
"Boss, the sound has stopped, but it is certain that it is from the sarcophagus, could it be that some animal is in the sarcophagus?"
"Man bear, you also saw it when you were buried, there are no other animals in there except for the corpses, and it is impossible to get into anything these days, take your weapons, I'm afraid it's not people this time!"
In the middle of the night, beside the quiet dense forest, the scene that was originally accompanied by moonlight and a bit of artistic conception suddenly became an eerie atmosphere. Everyone was waiting for the sound of the stop to sound again, or for something to appear, otherwise, the strange feeling of sudden silence would be like a year.
Sure enough, there were no side objects around the sarcophagus, but everyone's newly relaxed nerves were suddenly stirred up again, because the sarcophagus was slowly pushed open, and with a bang, the coffin lid fell to the side, and a pair of hands stood there straight, reflecting the moonlight, with a trace of cyan.
"Boss, is this a corpse?"
"I don't know, don't act rashly, watch quietly."
Everyone was calm, and they saw that the pair of upright hands were slowly lowered, and the corpse inside sat up impressively, with no expression on its face, and saw it slowly stand up, and actually bent down and crawled out of the sarcophagus, and after standing for a while, it slowly moved step by step and prepared to leave.
"East... East... East... Home, it's really a corpse, and the dead can still be so active after they are stiff, has it never been dead? What shall we do? ”
Anyone at the scene in this scene will be shocked, even the old man is no exception, even if he has seen zombies in the tomb move, but that is also the reaction of the well-preserved corpse after contact with the air, and now there is really a dead body alive in front of him, how should this be?
"Seeing that its pace is still a little stiff, and it walks very slowly, and now it seems that the previous corpses must have disappeared as well, the owner, I suggest that we quietly follow and see where it goes."
"Just according to the old brother, Lai Yu, inform the eighth brother and them to come and meet."
Soon, the group of people and horses passed through the dense forest, all of them were stunned, the old man waved his hand, and everyone quietly hid in the dense forest to follow the corpse.
Li Lao looked up at the sky, grabbed the old man, and the moonlit clear sky was still bright, but now suddenly the clouds were thick, and after a while, there was a rumbling thunder, and soon, the raindrops fell intensively. However, despite the thunder, the corpse did not react at all, without the slightest pause, and walked forward on its own.
"Is this corpse unaware of its surroundings? That's good, the thunderstorm covers us from detection, but we have to suffer when we get out of the jungle. ”
The corpse was already soaked, and walked along the path, and everyone had to come out of the dense forest, and followed from a distance, although the thunderstorm was easy to conceal, but also seriously affected the vision, and the contrast after the lightning made people's eyes extremely uncomfortable. In addition, the thing following in front of him turned out to be a corpse, the lightning lit up, the cyan skin exposed by the corpse, and the patches of corpse spots could be seen clearly, and it really felt that this thing would suddenly appear in front of him in the darkness where the light flashed.
"Owner, that corpse doesn't seem to be reacting to its surroundings, it's better to get closer and take a good look."
"Man and bear, you are really bold, no, God knows if this corpse lured us over, just follow it, and talk about it when we get to the place."
Gradually, everyone also got used to it, and the corpse in front of them didn't seem to be so terrible, and this group of killers could still talk and laugh, but the heavy rain showed no signs of abating, and they followed all the way until the corpse suddenly stopped, stunned and motionless.
The old man hurriedly stopped everyone, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, could it be that this is the final place where the corpse will go? But apart from a few large rocks, there are no caves, no mountains, not even forests, what is this for?
Just when everyone was wondering, they saw the corpse suddenly turn around, a lightning bolt flashed, and the dead face covered with corpse spots actually smiled strangely, although the eyes were empty, but full of provocation, just like that, the two sides silently confronted each other for a long time.
Suddenly, the corpse turned around and ran quickly into the ground and disappeared. The man and bear were about to chase after him, but he was stopped by the old man, there should be a hidden hole, but the terrain is not familiar with it and I don't know it at all, now that it has gone down, Fang Cai's expression is definitely not a simple walking corpse, if it is hidden there waiting to harm everyone, how to deal with it?
Now that the rain is pouring down, everyone is a chicken in the soup, and torches and the like can't be lit at all, but is this the last place where the corpses go? Or was the body found to be being followed and temporarily hiding inside? If the latter, once everyone leaves, it runs out and moves away, then the clue will be broken.
"Owner, you and Li Ye simply go back, the brothers are guarding here, when the rain stops, you can send us some dry clothes, this rain will not be too long, when the time comes, we will take off all our clothes, it is estimated that we will not get sick."
"No, everyone is soaking wet, if you get the cold, how can you get it, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines in the village, it's not worth it here."
"In this way, the man and bear stay with short legs, you two have great strength and good martial arts, although the other party is terrifying, but after all, it is just a corpse, and the rest of the people go back to the village to change clothes and get umbrellas, and then change them back, I don't know when the rain will stop, so it can only be like this."
