Chapter 33 "The Strange Shadow"
Originally, Zhang Qian had to follow, but I thought about it, it would be better to ask her to wait at the eldest sister surnamed Yang's house, after all, she is just a clerk who is responsible for handing over tasks to the organization, there is no need to take risks with us, and when we arrived at the entrance of the village, the village chief and a few villagers were already waiting.
When he saw us coming, the old village chief said, "We have obeyed your orders and caught all the chickens in the village." β
Peng Hui glanced around and nodded, then said, "You all go back and remember, don't let us make any moves here, otherwise you will bear the consequences." β
ΜThe old village chief listened to the answer again and again and then took the villagers away, at this time only Peng Hui and I were left at the huge village entrance, and I couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness around me, only this late autumn season raged the mountain wind, blowing the rustling sound of dead leaves on both sides of the trees, in order to hide Peng Hui and I simply hid behind a big tree on the side of the road, and then I looked at Peng Hui, took out two yellow charms from my arms and gave them to me, and one was attached to my chest.
Seeing the confusion on my face, Peng Hui also patiently explained: "This is specifically to suppress the yang energy on the living person, Jiang This talisman is attached to the body, and the yang energy of the human body will be hidden, so that it can be easily discovered without being dirty." β
I was a little dumbfounded, and I really responded to the old saying that the world is so big, I can't imagine that there is such a talisman in the world, and we all understand the principle that all things in the world are born and restrain each other, such as the dirty things of the yin soul, it is very simple not to let the living see themselves, but it is difficult for the big living to not be discovered by the yin people, which requires Taoist magic or Taoist talismans to do.
Although after experiencing the Qinling incident, my fear of these gods and ghosts has weakened a lot, but after all, I am a newcomer who has just started, and there is still a lot to learn about it, so I sat down against the big tree, closed my eyes while thinking about my thoughts, and slept for nearly a few hours in the afternoon, but I have really rested since I came back from Qinling.
The mountains are already cold, but in the winter season, the outdoor temperature has reached below zero, and people are easy to get sleepy in this cold, so I found a more comfortable position and fell into a half-asleep state.
I don't know how long I slept in this wonderful state, and finally woke up by a strange noise, when I completely reacted and saw, the dozen or so roosters that were tied up were also restless, and when I saw this scene, my heart suddenly tightened, and I subconsciously reached out to hold the handle of the knife, and at the same time Penghui gestured to me, pointing to the woods not far away and whispered: "Here it is." β
Here it comes?
What is coming, I didn't react for a while, and I was ready to ask immediately, but before I opened my mouth, a black figure without warning, came out of the forest, this time I understood it completely, but then a question also popped up in my mind, then I didn't feel yin? Yes, there is indeed no yin.
In fact, whether it is a corpse or a yin soul, it is more or less with yin qi, which cannot be changed, unless it is the kind of Tao that is particularly deep, such as Bai Qi, he does not have the slightest yin aura on his body, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like he has been dead for more than 2,000 years.
And there is only one kind of thing like this that does not have the characteristics of yin qi and sucks the blood of poultry and live animals.......
Peng Hui looked at me with a look of surprise, as if he guessed that I knew what this thing was, and asked, "What do you see?"
"Just a rough guess. β
I replied, "If I want to be sure, I'll need to get closer and look at it." β
Peng Hui nodded and said, "Hey...... Seriously, this is the first time I've encountered this kind of dirty thing that doesn't have evil qi and yin qi. β
At this time, the black shadow is getting closer and closer to us, and when I get closer, I finally see the appearance of this thing clearly by the moonlight, it doesn't matter what I saw, my whole person was immediately shocked, the person who came was a middle-aged man with a height of about one meter seven, his steps were vague and slow, this is not the main thing, the most unbearable thing for me is his eyes.
What kind of eyes are this, no eyes are completely made of the whites of the eyes, I can't stand it, and I suddenly get goosebumps, but at the same time, it also confirms my previous suspicions.
To sum up, this should be an extremely rare thing, a living corpse......
That's right, it's a living corpse!
To put it bluntly, the living corpse is a big living person, after the corpse of the zongzi bites, the corpse poison and thus loses humanity and thinking, and the mind is full of only killing, this kind of living corpse is between the yang and the dead, half life and half death are extremely difficult to deal with, now I also understand why there is no yin qi, and this thing is not a yin soul and not a complete corpse, according to the description above of the Jieling Heavenly Master, the living corpse also has a characteristic, that is, it is basically a complete corpse during the day, and it will be different from the general walking corpse at night.
At this time, the living corpse had already walked in front of the bundle of chickens, and then reached out to grab the big rooster on the ground. β
Saying that, he directly blocked the back retreat, of course, I also drew a knife and followed, and surrounded Jiang Qi in a pinching way, and the strange thing is that the living corpse did not show the slightest fear when he saw us, but directly opened his mouth and bit the rooster's neck, only to hear a click The bitten rooster only struggled a few times and did not move, and in an instant the four fangs in its mouth were exposed, and my heart trembled and couldn't help but curse, this is too Nima disgusting.
Peng Hui shouted at this time: "Be careful!"
I reacted at once, and then I saw that the beast actually pounced on me, and it attacked me when I was stunned, and it was less than three or four meters away from me, and I didn't want to raise my knife directly to slash, and I came up and beckoned it to the head, but I also kept an eye on it, and did not use the blade to cut but turned the knife over and attacked with the back of the knife.
Because I know that this kind of living corpse is half-alive and half-dead between the living and the dead, and it belongs to the existence of the underworld and the yang, so it is also a bit taboo to deal with, and the most fatal thing is the corpse poison, this corpse poison is different from the general corpse poison, the most common as long as it is not bitten directly by the zongzi, the corpse poison will not erode the living, but is this kind of energy the same now?
This kind of corpse poison is very contagious, even if it is contaminated with the skin, it will penetrate into the body through the pores, more evil than the Ebola virus, Ebola virus we all know, this virus is also known as Ebola virus, is a very rare and virulent infectious toxin, in 1976 in southern Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Ebola River region was discovered, at that time caused widespread attention in the medical community, Ebola is also named after this.
To put it bluntly, Ebola virus is a virulent infectious disease virus that can cause Ebola hemorrhagic fever in humans and primates, with a high mortality rate, generally between 50 percent and 90 percent, and a variety of causes of death, including stroke, myocardial infarction, hypovolemic shock or multiple organ failure.
And the corpse poison in the living corpse is even more perverted, more terrible than the fucking Ebola virus, if you don't treat it in time after infection, you can only die on the spot, and you can't live for five hours at most, and the best treatment time is, within two hours after poisoning, if you miss the treatment time, when the corpse poison erodes the internal organs, it will be over, and the Daluo Immortal can't be saved, and the corpse will become 100% after death, and it will become, this kind of monster that is not a ghost or a ghost.
And if you want to pull out this corpse poison, there are certain conditions, you need the aged glutinous rice of the previous year with herbs, and it is possible to save your life after soaking it for seven or eight days, anyway, these are all recorded in my family's book of unloading the mountains, as for whether it is true or not, I can't verify it, to sum up, I'd better be careful.
Knowing what is so powerful about it, I am even more constrained when dealing with this thing, I can only try my best not to get hurt, and I have to figure out how to subdue this thing at the same time, but fortunately, except for the corpse poison, it is no different from ordinary walking corpses in other aspects.
Then the knife in my hand was cut on its head impartially, and then there was a muffled sound, and I felt like I was slashed on a stone, and the knife was directly turned up more than ten centimeters, and the powerful force shook my arm numb, and my mouth was sore, so I threw the knife away.
But before I could take a step, a black claw had already grabbed my chest, and I could only desperately turn sideways to the side when I saw the situation, almost making the end of the milk, which was almost a dangerous and dangerous way to dodge, and I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
This is no joke, the nails on the claws are extremely sharp, and if it really shines on the chest, it will not be a disembowelment, and I shudder at the thought of this.
At this time, Peng Hui finally arrived, and without saying a word, it was just a flying leg, and he kicked firmly on the chest of the living corpse, and then there were a few clicks and bones breaking, and the fucking Peng Hui's kick was ruthless enough, and he actually kicked the chest of the living corpse directly.
Maybe Peng Hui made the force too great, and the thing flew out directly upside down and fell to the ground with a thud, struggling to stand up, but after tossing for a long time, he couldn't get up, and then Peng Hui walked over with his sword, and without saying a word, he was ready to stab down.
When I saw it, I hurriedly stopped: "You can't use a sword, it's full of corpse poison, this corpse poison is extremely contagious, and it can't be stained at all." β
Obviously, Peng Hui also encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and after listening to what I said, he had no idea, so he asked me what to do, I thought about it before saying, "Tie it up with a rope first, and burn it with fire after dawn." β
Penghui nodded and said, "Okay! β
Saying that, the two of us began to act, first tied this thing to the big tree at the entrance of the village with a rope, and then put together the next plan, and now we have caught the things that are harming the village, and we just sat at the entrance of the village all night to see that there was nothing to do.
In this way, when the next day was bright, the village chief brought a lot of villagers to come, and was startled when he saw the living corpse tied to the big tree, and at this time the sky was already bright, and the heaven and earth were when the yang energy slowly recovered, and I saw the saying that the living corpse died when it saw the light.
Seeing that from its seven orifices, a few black gases came out of it and it didn't move at all, and then it looked like an ordinary corpse, of course, when the yin qi was raging at night, it would continue to cause trouble.
The old village chief could be regarded as having seen it with his own eyes, and he was almost scared to pee at that time, so he asked tremblingly: "Is this ...... What's going on!"
Seeing that he was confused, I told everyone what happened last night, and told everyone the truth, it doesn't matter what I said, as soon as everyone heard that the corpse would still rise at night, they were anxious and hurriedly asked what to do, I thought about it and said: "Burn the corpse, so that there will be no worries." β
When everything is dealt with, we will go back to the eldest sister's house, and after eating, we will tell the village chief that we are going to enter the mountain, and we can't go into this big mountain, one is that the task needs the other is in the mountain, and there is a terrible dirty thing, if my guess is right, last night, the living corpse Bacheng was a member of the Chen family in Jingbei.
I guess this person should have been bitten by Zongzi in the mountain, and he became the kind of monster who only thought about harming people's lives last night, so whether it is looking for Xu Jiahui to complete the task assigned by the organization, or for the safety of the lives of more than 200 villagers in this village, I must enter this mountain, if I don't deal with the scourge inside, all the living people within a radius of 100 miles will be killed sooner or later.
When the village chief heard that we were going to enter the mountain, he was anxious, and repeatedly persuaded us that we could not go to the back mountain, that is, a forbidden place for living people, and I told the village chief the reason for our entry into the mountain, and this statement really worked, and the village chief no longer stopped us.
Then I asked the village chief to find us a guide, the village chief did not hesitate to answer directly, went out for a while and brought a big man back, introduced each other I know, this person called Qiu Dajun in his thirties as a soldier, and is a scout on the national border, after retiring from the city can not find a suitable job, simply go home to do the old book to farm for a living, but these are not important, the important thing is that Qiu Dajun is the only one, into the back of the mountain can come back alive people, so that with Qiu Dajun to take the lead, we can also be a lot easier on the road behindγ
Having said that, it was the first time I had seen such a strong person, and his height was at least 1.8 meters tall, and his body was particularly strong and he was very strong at first glance, and I noticed that he had thick calluses on his hands when shaking hands.
Qiu Dajun was also more enthusiastic about us, and I have to say that people who had been soldiers were very easy to get along with, and only after getting acquainted with Qiu Dajun did he say, "Hmm...... The village chief told me, you went into the mountain to help us solve the problems inside, to be honest, I have been to that place is particularly terrifying, I remember that year I went hunting, you also know that we are in this kind of poor countryside and do not have a serious side job, the prey in the front mountain was wiped out by several other villages, there is no way to have a good year I can only go to the back mountain, although I have also heard the old man say that the inside is not clean, but in order to survive, I can only bite the bullet on the scalp You say yes, not to mention that there are a lot of prey inside, as soon as I came up, I caught several rabbits on the top of the fatIt wasn't until later that I found out that I had unconsciously arrived at an abandoned village, and it was almost dark for me! I was going to find a room in it for a night, but as soon as I entered the village, I was almost scared to death by the scene inside, and it was full of ......."
Qiu Dajun suddenly fell silent when he said this, and it seemed that he thought of a very terrifying scene, and his face turned a little paler.
When I saw it, I was immediately upset, and immediately said, "Hey, I said, how can you talk halfway through? Don't stop!
Qiu Dajun smiled awkwardly and then said, "Coffin...... The village is full of coffins, hey...... Have you ever seen a scene of more than 100 coffins put together? Anyway, I was dying, and if it weren't for my buddy's natural boldness, I guess I would have been scared at the time. β
Without waiting for Qiu Dajun to finish speaking, I hurriedly asked, "Wait...... You just said there were more than 100 coffins?"
"That's right! There are more than a hundred!"
Qiu Dajun said: "At that time, I was not scared, I didn't count carefully, and I just ran away." β
Penghui: "When you came back, you didn't encounter anything?"
"Why didn't you meet it!"
Qiu Dajun took a big sip of water before continuing: "Before I ran far, there was an overwhelming ghost cry behind me, but the strange thing is that I looked back and saw nothing, you said it was not strange." β
After listening to Qiu Dajun's words, I didn't just sweat for him! If my estimation is correct, eighty percent of those ghost cries are sent out by the ghosts of the dead villagers in the village, because they can't be reincarnated after death, they simply go back to the vicinity, and their mother's ability to hear the ghost screams means that these powerful ghosts are going to ask for their lives, this kid actually dares to look back, don't you know that there are three yang fires in people! As soon as he turned around, he extinguished one of them, and three times in a row, his head and shoulders and the three yang fires on the top of his head were all extinguished, but it was no wonder that the calf was not put on by the ghost.
Qiu Dajun agreed to be our guide, to put it bluntly, he was also stumped by money, and after a while, I could probably see his temperament from his face, Qiu Dajun belongs to the kind of person who would rather be unyielding, I guess what is waiting for money, so I accept this terrible job.
Sure enough, I finally figured it out, it turned out that Qiu Dajun also had a younger sister who had just been admitted to college this year, and when he served in the army before, the state would give some welfare allowances, although the money was not much, it was enough to raise a college student, but after retiring, he could only rely on himself, so this tuition fee became a problem, not to mention that there was no side job in the village, and every family in the deep mountains and old forests could only maintain a basic life.
And I promised to pay 10,000 yuan for the hardship fee, so we also had what we needed, and after discussing the route, we set off.
