Chapter 163: The Legend of the Dead
(a)
Wei Changfeng was shocked in his heart, and was about to make a move, but he heard someone ask in his ear: "Brother Wei, who do you guess I am?" ”
Wei Changfeng's body suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but laugh and replied, "I can't guess, Tian'er."
Song Tian'er laughed, let go of her hands, jumped in front of Wei Changfeng happily, and asked, "Brother Wei, why are you so idle today?" Are you going to find Sister Yue'er? ”
Wei Changfeng smiled and replied, "I have nothing to do today, I just want to chat with you." ”
A hint of surprise appeared in Song Tian'er's eyes, and she exclaimed, "Really? Brother Wei, you're not lying to me, are you? ”
Wei Changfeng suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Because he's really lying to Tian'er.
But fortunately, this mistake can be corrected. He immediately replied, "No." Tian'er, let's go up to my tent and talk for a while, okay? ”
Song Tian'er clapped her hands happily, applauded again and again, and pulled Wei Changfeng away, for fear that Wei Changfeng would run away.
At the door of Li Qianyue's tent, Li Qianyue was sending her father-in-law out, and the two of them were holding hands.
The prince still refused to let go until the door, and his other hand touched Li Qianyue's wrist upward.
Li Qianyue struggled to break free, and said lightly: "There are people outside." ”
The prince smiled proudly and staggered away.
Li Qianyue looked at the back of her princess, her expression was a little complicated, but this time, she didn't look at Wei Changfeng at all, although she had just seen that Wei Changfeng and Song Tian'er were walking hand in hand towards Wei Changfeng's tent.
Wei Changfeng and Song Tian'er only chatted in the tent for a while, and they were a little speechless. No matter how much Song Tianer likes to chat with Wei Changfeng, but the interests and hobbies of the two are really not within the same range, Wei Changfeng is helpless. It's Song Tian'er, who saw Wei Changfeng crying so sadly yesterday, and today she deliberately wanted to tease Wei Changfeng to talk more, so she pulled it around, talking about food in the army for a while, and saying that she had an interesting dream for a while, and Wei Changfeng just listened to it.
Song Tian'er saw that Wei Changfeng was not interested in this, so she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother Wei, can you do spells from the wind in front of you?" ”
Wei Changfeng laughed: "If he has a spell, how can we win that battle?" ”
Song Tian'er shook her head: "That's probably because he didn't have time to use spells." My master knows how to spell, don't you try it too, then the elixir is easy to use. ”
Wei Changfeng nodded and said, "That's right." It's just that the Wind Rises doesn't look like a person with a spell. Speaking of this, the childlike heart suddenly rose, and said with a smile: "If Feng Qi Dao Chang really has a spell, maybe he is not dead now, and he will be alive with a spell." ”
Song Tian'er laughed and said, "How can there be such a spell? The dead come back to life, huh? ”
Wei Changfeng shook his head and said, "It's possible. Some Taoist priests can still make the dead walk. For example, those who chase corpses. ”
Song Tian'er was very interested and asked, "What is chasing corpses?" ”
Wei Changfeng saw that Song Tian'er didn't know this, and thought to himself, he really couldn't talk about anything with Song Tian'er, so he told her a story, so he said: "You can't spread this matter, it's a very secret thing." ”
Song Tianer's curiosity was completely aroused, and she asked again and again. Wei Changfeng recalled and slowly talked about an incident he experienced as a child.
At that time, the world was much more chaotic than now, the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty was fighting every day, and there were many dead people, not to mention collecting corpses, it was too late to bury them, many people died and were so exposed, no one paid attention to them at all, and some seriously injured people were also abandoned, and there were very few who could survive, and those who survived and were lucky to go home were even less pitiful.
Near the Wei family, there is a family, very poor, only the mother and son in the family depend on each other, the son was conscripted into the army, went to war, this time he never came back, the old mother washed her face with tears every day.
After a long time, everyone thought that their son would definitely not come back, but suddenly one night, his son came back, although his clothes were tattered and his whole body smelled, but he was able to come back, which was a great joy. People who pity their mother and son came to visit one after another, and there was actually a room of people.
Although Wei Changfeng was young at the time, he was also brought by his father to visit, and he also brought some silver taels to plan to sponsor it.
This son's nickname is Hei San'er, and everyone calls him that. When Wei Changfeng arrived at Hei San'er's house, there was no place to sit in the house. Naturally, this is because the house is really not big, but on the other hand, it is also because Hei San'er smells bad, so everyone sits far away, but there is a large empty space around Hei San'er.
Hei San'er's mother was very grateful to see so many people coming to see her, but she could also see that these people couldn't help the smell of Hei San'er, and she was sorry in her heart, so she had to reprimand Hei San'er and said, "You are really, why don't you wash it." ”
Hei San'er shook his head and said, "Mother, it's not that I don't wash it, I washed it a few times before entering the house, and the smell on this body can't be removed." ”
A neighbor on the side laughed and said: "How can this be reasonable, how can there be anything that can't be removed, or you can't wash it clean." ”
(2) Hei San'er shook his head again: "Aunt Liu, no." This smell, this smell has a history, and it really can't be removed. ”
Aunt Liu listened strangely and asked, "What?" Where does the smell come from? Tell me about it. ”
Hei San'er's face changed a little, and he shook his head again and again, "This, I can't say it." ”
Hei San'er's mother takes care of her neighbors on weekdays, and when she saw Aunt Liu asking this question, Hei San'er didn't say anything, she was a little angry and reprimanded: "What can't be said about this, say it quickly!" ”
Hei San'er dared to resist his mother, hesitated for a long time before he whispered: "This matter, you can hear it, and I am talking nonsense." ”
Seeing that Hei San'er was so mysterious, the neighbors became more and more interested, and they didn't even care about the smell on Hei San'er's body, and they all pulled closer to their chairs to listen. Wei Changfeng was young at that time, and he was even more interested in this kind of thing, so he simply ran to the nearest place, less than two feet away from Hei San'er, and sat on the edge of the kang to listen, although his father had the intention to pull him home, but so many people watched, it was not easy to force it, so he had to let him go.
Hei San'er saw that everyone was so interested, so he couldn't talk about it, so he had to talk slowly.
After he joined the army, he fought all the way, fought almost every day, died every day, and was a little scared and sad at first, but later he was numb, and he didn't even feel it when he slept in the pile of dead people. Finally, one day, their group was surrounded by rebels, and after a great battle, they were all wiped out. Hei San'er was shot in the waist, bleeding nonstop, and then fainted.
I don't know how long it took, Hei San'er woke up in a daze, it was already dark, and he found that the bleeding from the wound on his waist had stopped, and he was lying in the pile of dead people. Strangely, there was a faint sound of bells not far away.
Hei San'er felt strange in his heart, and he didn't know who was ringing the bell here. was about to try to stand up, but saw the corpses around him slowly stand up one by one.
At first, Hei San'er thought that these people were like himself, and he had woken up after being seriously injured, but he soon realized that something was wrong.
First, it is impossible for so many people to wake up after being seriously injured, one, two, ten, eight, but the entire battlefield is like this, it is too impossible, and the current situation is that everyone who fell to the ground has stood up, and even some of those who have lost half of their heads have also stood up.
Second, those who stand up do not get up normally, but stand up straight from the ground, as if there is an invisible rope pulling them, and the whole body stands up stiffly.
Hei San'er felt strange in his heart, but he wasn't too afraid, he had long forgotten what it was like to be afraid. He slowly stood up and looked around. Only then did I realize that those who stood up were all dead!
These people's eyes were not open at all, and they were all mortally wounded, with large holes in their chests and half of their heads cut off, and they all stood upright.
Hei San'er was finally a little scared in his heart, he was trying to escape, but he heard the bell ringing, his heart was tight, he couldn't move, he knew something was wrong, and looked at the place where the bell came, only to see a person dressed as a Taoist priest, holding a bell in one hand and a peachwood sword in the other, walking slowly around the battlefield, while ringing the bell and constantly touching the corpse on the ground with the peachwood sword.
Some corpses have already stood up without waiting for the peachwood sword to touch it, and some corpses will not stand up until the peachwood sword touches it, and naturally there are also peachwood swords that do not move when they touch it.
The Taoist priest seemed to be very experienced, and when the peachwood sword touched the corpse that did not move twice, he ignored it, and still went to rummage through other corpses, and in a short time, more than three hundred corpses had stood on the battlefield.
Seeing that the corpse was almost there, the Taoist priest took the peachwood sword, reached into his arms, grabbed a handful of paper money and sprinkled it, only to see that the standing corpses were all approaching the Taoist priest.
Hei San'er saw that the corpses were all going to the Taoist priest, for fear that he would be used by the Taoist priest to turn him from a living person into a dead person if he stood like this, so he simply pretended to be a dead person and followed the corpse to the Taoist priest.
When the Taoist priest saw that the corpses were approaching, he raised his hand and flew out of a rope, which was extremely thin, and it didn't look long when it first flew out, but as soon as it flew up, it was endless, connecting these corpses one by one.
Hei San'er saw that the situation was not good, and just as he wanted to escape, the rope had already passed through his armpit, and he didn't know why, obviously the rope only passed through his armpit, but he couldn't act on his own all of a sudden, so he could only follow the rope. Although Hei San'er understood it in his heart, his actions were not under his command at all, and he could only line up with other corpses along the movements of the rope, and his appearance was no different from other corpses.
The fear in Hei San'er's heart was incomparable. But he knew that now he had to pretend to be a corpse, this Taoist priest's spell was so strong, once he found out that he was not dead, he was afraid that he would become a real corpse if he moved the rope, so he honestly stood there and waited.
When the Taoist priest saw that the corpses were all lined up, he walked back from front to back like a review army, and Hei San'er stayed in the team, fortunately not being discovered by the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest finished the inspection, walked to the front of the team, raised his hand, shook the bell, and the whole team began to walk away with a shake. It turned out that those corpses walked with stiff bodies and unbent legs, so they walked with a shaking. Hei San'er tried his best to imitate this way of walking, and followed forward, I don't know what this Taoist priest is doing with so many corpses.
