Chapter 12: Devil's Tears
Rows of neatly and orderly dried corpses hang upside down on the roof of the cave, making people look creepy and chilling.
The dried corpse on the top of the cave was in a dim place on the west side, but the entrance of the cave was in the southeast direction, and although there was sunlight in the cave, it was still dim, so that the three of them did not find it when they first came in.
Gao Qing looked up and carefully looked at the dried corpses on the roof of the cave, and found that there were seven rows in total, and each row was seven.
The number of sevens? Is it a coincidence or deliberate artificiality?
Ancient language, seven, seven and six dust, ninety-nine reincarnation.
And the most frightening thing is that two of the dried corpses, looking at the appearance and physique of the dried corpses, they are no more than ten years old at most, who is so cruel? What was unknown about the migration of Fook Hong Street 20 years ago? Or was Fuk Hong Street not relocated at all, but all here?
Gao Qing thought of this, his scalp was numb, who could use such means to reach the sky, kill the whole village, and no one knew that there was another purpose in life? The two young dried corpses didn't have much pain on their faces, some just looked dazed and ignorant, and they didn't know why they would hang themselves?
Soon, Gao Qing's conjecture was interrupted by Lan Lan, who woke up with a frightened face, and persuaded Gao Qing to go out quickly.
Gao Qing had to let Lan Lan leave the west wall and wait for him at the east exit, only in this way, he finally came here, things are getting more and more complicated, no matter what, at least he has to figure out the matter of the forty-nine dried corpses now.
Lan Lan listened to Gao Qing's words, decisively left the west wall, and searched around the exit. But then, the three of them found nothing.
Gao Qing also found that there were indeed no clues, so he proposed to go out, saying that none of the three of them should tell this matter, otherwise it would be another shocking case, and he was not ready to become famous.
In the evening, the three of them gathered around the table in the wooden house, discussing everything for the day, but in the end, they still found nothing. In the middle of the night, Gao Qing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and wanted to get up conveniently, right? I didn't dare a little, I was scared a lot by the day, but Gao Qing found that the more I endured, the more uncomfortable it became, and it was estimated that if I didn't go out to solve it, I would break through, and my shame finally overcame my fear.
A swaying birch forest, the breeze blows, and the leaves rattle, like wind chimes swaying happily under the touch of the breezeγγγ
Just when Gao Qing just lifted his pants, there was an embarrassing sound behind him, which frightened Gao Qing for a while, and it took a long time to ask who it was? There was no 'me' as Gao Qing imagined behind him.
In this way, Gao Qing's hand still paused on the belt that was about to pull up his pants.
Half an hour later, when Gao Qing felt that he was a little insane, the voice behind him rang again. Gao Qing turned around with a pale face.
"Momγγγ" then sat on the ground in fright, his pupils exuding an extremely terrifying look.
Gao Qing thinks that his courage is not small, and he should still belong to that kind of bold type, but what he has seen and heard in the past few days has really scared him, and now he is even more sure, it's not that I'm not bold enough, but that things are more stressful than your courage can bear.
Gao Qing was even more able to realize at this time that his courage was very smallγγγ
"Housheng, the old woman scared you, I am here to apologize to you," said Gao Qing and bent over.
Gao Qing hurriedly waved his hand, joking, at such an old age, what if it flashes to his waist?
Gao Qing stared at the old lady in front of him, with a familiar look, isn't this the one who gave him a human skin lantern? Why did you mention another one? I couldn't help but move backwards.
It seems that the old lady saw through Gao Qing's mind and said that this is not a dragon king set.
Gao Qing pondered the old lady's words suspiciously, the dragon king set? What is it? It can't be a human skin lantern, right? The old lady showed her toothless mouth and smiled at Gao Qing. The meaning seems to say, can you kid be a little more stupid.
"Old lady, why don't you sleep so late?" Gao Qing was puzzled and looked at the sky that was not early.
"The old woman is here to find you." The old lady smiled.
"Looking for me?" Gao Qing looked around, there was no one else except himself, the old lady said that he was looking for himself, Gao Qing still couldn't believe it, pointed at himself with his finger, and the old lady nodded at him.
"What do you have to do with me?" Gao Qingnuo asked.
"Have you ever been to a cave during the day?" Gao Qing nodded, and then shook his head like a rattle, that cave wouldn't be γγγ?
Gao Qing didn't dare to think about it at all. couldn't help but clench his fists, it seemed that once the old man had an adverse reaction, he would first beat his head and face. The premise is that the old lady is really an old lady, otherwise if you are against some evil thing, just point to it, simply lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, it is pretending, not really a life, isn't it sad?
"Retribution, retribution." The old lady looked in the direction of the cave and said.
Gao Qing heard the old lady in front of him say retribution, and his back was already sweating.
"Old lady, what you mean by retribution is γγγ?"
Gao Qing really regretted it at this time, regretting that he did not listen to his parents and went to a first-tier city for further study, but came to a third-rate city. There are too many regrets for coming to Fook Hong Street, regretting entering the cave, but is it useful to regret now? Instead of regretting it, think of ways to make amends. I had to look at the old man in front of me for help.
"I came to you last night and told you, don't bring girls to this village, leave the dragon king set for you, you are afraid that you will encounter unclean things, but you didn't listen to me, not only did you not leave, but also entered the cave, is this the reincarnation? Ay. The old man seemed to be very sad and waved his hand at Gao Qing.
Gao Qing was 100% stunned at this time, what round should be returned? What is not clean? What not to go into the cave.
"Old lady, what's going on?" Gao Qing anxiously walked forward, grabbed the old lady's arm and asked.
"Hey, you young people, I have been observing since the first day you came, thinking that you were just here to travel in the mountains and forests, and last night I heard that you were here to find something, so I asked you to leave quickly, and left the dragon king set for you, one is to remind you, and the other is to scare you." The old man said bitterly.
"Come with meγγγ" The old lady beckoned to Gao Qing, who hesitated for a moment and raised his heels. Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the cave where Gao Qing arrived during the day.
Gao Qing looked at the cave with a blank expression, is it really a place to raise corpses, or is there really a secret in it?
The old man stroked the rock at the entrance of the cave, and his face was melancholy, so pity, pity, and hatred. Looking at this mountain, looking at this scene, watching the passage of time, watching the change of the world, looking at everything in front of you, how many years, how many years have you not been here, twenty or fifty years? The memories are blurred, but the events of that year cannot be forgotten.
Mountains are still mountains, water is still water, villages are still villages, these have not changed, the only thing that is not there is people.
There used to be a lot of joy and laughter, leaving one person alone to watch the present. If you can't laugh, you can't get old, and you can't keep the impressive wing mash. The past flies with the wind, and the love is long and righteous. Looking back at the ancient things, the intestines are broken, and the wind and clouds are changing in the center.
The old man muttered softly, as if these words had a magical power, and a shocking thunder suddenly sounded in the mountains and forests, which catered to the old man's wordsγγγ
Gao Qing asked the old lady what those words meant, and the old man's answer made Gao Qing's hairs stand up, and he didn't take a few steps back, reincarnation? Retribution?
"Descendants, don't be afraid, because it's useless to be afraid, just follow the fate?" The old man persuaded Gao Qing.
This kind of thing, who encounters everyone who is afraid and says that they are not afraid? It is estimated that he is either a madman or an immortal, but Gao Qing thinks that he is not an immortal, and he should not belong to the scope of a madman. That is, it should belong to the third type of people. Who it is, Gao Qing doesn't know.
"Old lady, what are you bringing me here for?" Gao Qing asked cautiously.
Although the old man in front of him can't hurt himself physically, it's a one-on-one, heads-up situation, who knows if she has a helper.
The old man didn't speak, and walked towards the cave, Gao Qing hesitated for a moment, and followed in. Because I've been here once, I'm not so nervous, on the surface it's not an expression that I haven't been here, but my heart is a little hairy, I was accompanied by two people when I came, and it was daytime, although there was no black and white in the cave, but I always felt that I was taking a step forward, as if I was one step closer to hell.
The long, silent winding cave looks more and more like a wild beast, waiting for its prey to approach. The old lady's pace was very fast, the original half-hour journey took less than fifteen minutes, and it seemed that the old lady was very familiar with this place.
Soon, Gao Qing saw the place he had come from during the day, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to the roof of the cave on the west wall, and sure enough, the dried corpse was still hanging so skillfully.
The old man stood below the dried corpse, looking up at the two young dried corpses in the front.
"Sister, I've come to see you." The old man whispered to one of the female corpses. His eyes were full of awe and pity.
Gao Qing approached the old lady, one step, two steps, three stepsγγγ
"Don't come close." Gao Qing was startled by the words he suddenly remembered, and found that it was the old lady who said it and stayed where he was.
The old lady walked around the forty-nine dried corpses, muttering intermittently words that Gao Qing did not understand.
Over and over again, pray? Transcend? Tell? The old lady left the west wall and returned to the entrance of the cave, looked at Gao Qing with a surprised face, shook her head and smiled.
"Isn't it strange what the hell is this place? Why are there forty-nine dried corpses, and why is there a layout similar to that of a place where corpses are raised? Why can't this village bring women over? The old man asked Gao Qing a few questions that Gao Qing had ever dreamed of knowing.
Gao Qing didn't speak, but nodded. The old man smiledγγγ
"A long, long time ago, we had a rich environment here, simple folk customs, men were bright and upright, women were well-run, children were innocent and lively, and the old people enjoyed their lives. Its joy is all a beautiful place in the world. Because of her appearance, everything has changed, men do all kinds of evil, hurt nature and reason, women are selfish, children are no longer innocent and lively, and some old people are dying of illness and starvation one after another. The old man said sadly, as if he had seen everything back then.
"He? Who is it? β
"Onmyoji, that is, the person who can penetrate yin and yang," the old man glanced up at Gao Qing, can you kid understand?
"Onmyoji? Walking in the two worlds of yin and yang, you can change your life against the sky, you can transfer the yang life of others, you can find the dragon point, you can put the Qimen gossip, and you can set up the Qimen Dunjia. β
"How do you possibly know?" The old lady couldn't imagine how a young man in his twenties could know so much.
Of course Gao Qing wouldn't tell her, in fact, he saw it from his grandfather's toilet paper, and even if he said it, others might not believe it.
"I used to read some books when I was a kid." Gao Qing said solemnly.
"Some books? I see. β
"What happened to that Onmyoji?" Gao Qing couldn't wait to ask.
"Later, the Onmyoji fell in love with a woman in the village, but was opposed by the patriarch and burned the poor woman alive."
Gao Qing found that this was not said by the old lady in front of him, but from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw the driver leaning against the wall, with a look of anger, staring at the old man opposite him.
"It's not like that, it's not what you say it is?" The old man shook his head in a panic, staring at the man behind Gao Qing, shaking his head vigorously.
"And tell me what?" The driver was coerced, and walked towards the old man step by step, and when he passed by Gao Qing's side, he paused to glance at Gao Qing.
"I don't know exactly what it is, but it must not be what you say, no." The old man at this time was like a panicked child.
