Chapter 507: Coughing
Zhou Xiaolong shrugged, okay, okay, he didn't say it.
Although this is not an ancient tomb, it gives Zhou Xiaolong the feeling that it is too much, such a dark place, I am very nervous, especially, I don't know what monsters I will encounter ahead?!
After walking for a while looking for the traces left by the miners all year round, Uncle Nine suddenly stood up and said, "No, no, you can't go anymore, did you hear something?!" ”
Zhou Xiaolong pricked up his ears and listened, sure enough, there were some very subtle sounds, Zhou Xiaolong asked Uncle Jiu: "Is there some sound, isn't it the sound of water droplets?" ”
Uncle Nine shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "No, isn't it...... I think...... Yes...... It's like someone coughing ...... low."
Perhaps it was induced by Uncle Jiu, Zhou Xiaolong pricked up his ears to listen, and suddenly a clear cough sound came from a long distance.
Maybe it's not a nearby sound, but it's so quiet.
In short, Zhou Xiaolong did hear it, and immediately after, the hairs on Zhou Xiaolong's body immediately stood up.
It really seems to be a coughing sound, is it made by a person, or is it ......
Zhou Xiaolong looked around very carefully, and asked Uncle Nine in a low voice, "What is making a sound?!" ”
While searching for the voice, Zhou Xiaolong's mind spun rapidly, and for some reason, he remembered a ghost story that his master had told him before.
The story says that in the old society, people had to hire masons to build houses, and when they built houses and repaired doors, the master must have to serve those craftsmen well.
If the master does not follow the rules and offends the mason, the mason may not say anything in person, but if he can't keep it, he will do something for your family.
It's good to say that if you meet a small-minded mason, you will dilute the cement and build the bricks and tiles a little bigger, and the house will not last many years and it will be bad, and it will have to be rebuilt, which is still good, if you are unfortunate enough to meet a ruthless mason, and even mix the ashes in the lime, then wait for the house to be haunted and suffered......
In the story, there is a family that hires a few masons to repair the house, but the owner is more stingy, and as a result, a lot of wages are deducted, and as a result, the masons are angered.
When the house was built, the family moved in, but in the middle of the night, they would hear a cough from a corner, and the coughing sound was very strange, it sounded like an elderly man who accidentally choked on a cigarette and forced himself to make a sound.
Later, the family found a lot of Mr. Yin and Yang, and finally met a capable gentleman, who said that the corner of the wall was formed by a mason, and the name of this formation was "ghost cough".
The specific operation is as follows, catch a big toad, put pepper noodles in the toad's mouth, and then sew the toad's mouth, the toad is choked by the pepper noodles and coughs, the mouth is sealed, and if you want to cough but can't cough, you will make a coughing sound like an old man.
If the caster has some experience, the toad will live for a long time and will not die, then the people who live in the house will hear this terrible coughing sound every night, and the toad is quite painful, and will also produce a certain amount of resentment, in short, it is very bad for the house.
Thinking of this, Uncle Nine suddenly slapped Zhou Xiaolong, startling Zhou Xiaolong.
Uncle Nine asked, "What are you thinking, so obsessed?!! ”
So Zhou Xiaolong briefly told Uncle Nine about the ghost cough, Uncle Nine had obviously heard of it, and he said to Zhou Xiaolong: "The mason's trick is just to scare people, and it won't do any real harm, if Zhou Xiaolong encounters that type today, then Zhou Xiaolong will burn high incense, but who will use this trick in an abandoned mine?" ”
What Uncle Nine said was reasonable, Zhou Xiaolong didn't dare to take a breath, the two held their breath and listened carefully, but they only heard the sound of slow water flowing in the distance.
Zhou Xiaolong listened to it for a while, but there was no more such strange coughing sound, and he had to secretly comfort himself in his heart, maybe in such a terrible place, all he produced was auditory hallucinations.
Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Nine walked forward, the more they walked, the lower the top of the cave, Uncle Nine was not tall, and it was better to walk, Zhou Xiaolong was nearly one meter eight tall, so he could only walk with his head down, which was very uncomfortable.
The road in front of him began to become very wet, and then there was stagnant water, and it was too painful to walk with his feet in the muddy black water, so Zhou Xiaolong asked the ninth uncle who led the way in front.
Zhou Xiaolong said: "Uncle Nine, where are we going, didn't you say that you would use centipedes as bait to lure the big toad out of the hole, you keep walking forward like this, if you walk into the toad hole, Zhou Xiaolong, the two big living people, wouldn't you send supper to the toad." ”
Uncle Nine stopped and said, "What you said is also reasonable, we will set up a bait here, wait for the big toad to take the bait, and wait for the toad to eat the big centipede, we will take advantage of its paralysis to get rid of it in one fell swoop, and get rid of the trouble." ”
Zhou Xiaolong said: "Very good, just do it!" ”
Then, Zhou Xiaolong and Uncle Nine began to be busy for a while.
Uncle Nine took the travel bag that Zhou Xiaolong was holding in his arms, the bag contained the bottle of big centipedes, and it took Zhou Xiaolong a lot of effort to catch these centipedes, so they began to look under the locust tree on the mountain, or by the stream, and finally made up enough for a large bottle, at least more than a thousand centipedes.
Yesterday, when he was leaving, Uncle Nine sprinkled a lot of unknown medicinal powder on the centipede, and then blocked the bottle with a towel poured with old wine, and the big centipede in the bottle should be in a half-drunk state at this moment.
This way, you won't be able to pour out the bottle and immediately run off all over the floor.
Uncle Nine lifted the lid of the bottle zhou xiaolong stood aside and lit it with a flashlight a smell of wine came very unpleasant and then.
Zhou Xiaolong saw a black and slimy ball of disgusting flesh being dumped by Uncle Nine in a dry and flat place in the mine.
The centipedes really seemed to be drunk, and they were twisted and rolled around each other like a lot of earthworms.
Zhou Xiaolong saw that he wanted to vomit, so he staggered his eyes and asked Uncle Jiu: "What should I do then?!! ”
Uncle Nine ignored Zhou Xiaolong, he took out something similar to Chinese medicinal materials and sprinkled a lot around the centipede, and then lit a grass incense like the length and thickness of a cigarette, and then Zhou Xiaolong smelled a smell, which was not good, but it was more comfortable than the smell emitted by the centipede.
After doing this, Uncle Nine pulled Zhou Xiaolong and retreated to a safe place, where there was a big raised stone, and Zhou Xiaolong and the two of them hid behind the stone.
Uncle Nine said, "Put out the flashlight." ”
