Chapter 10: The Corpse Mover (I)
Chapter 10: The Corpse Remover
I was still quite apprehensive in my heart, especially when I passed through the circle of walking corpses, those hideous-looking dried corpses were around me and bit each other, and some even bumped into me and the Taoist priest, which scared me so much that my heart almost jumped to my throat.
Strangely, though, even if the walking corpses hit us, they didn't seem to be aware of our presence at all, and didn't pay any attention to it.
In comparison, the old man was much calmer, and completely regarded these walking corpses as air, and walked in the front without saying a word, occasionally one or two corpses blocking the way, and he heard him snort coldly, and then stomped his feet, and saw that the walking corpses seemed to have lost their support.
I was really convinced, and I said that the handsome old man, when I went out, I must beg him to teach me this trick, and if I encounter these things again in the future, I will also stomp my feet and clean them up, how handsome and handsome it is!
Also shocked was the Taoist priest, who only heard the startled muttering behind me: "Hey, little layman, do you see it, this is your master of the witch lineage, don't look at him just stomped his feet lightly, you take a closer look at the corpse!" ”
The Taoist priest's words were naturally muttered to me, and I was curious, so I looked carefully at the scattered dried corpses as he said, and sure enough, I saw something unusual. I saw that the dry corpse was densely packed with a small insect similar to an ant, and the reason why the corpse would scatter was entirely because the joints were gnawed away by insects.
I felt sick to see it, and at the same time a cold sweat broke out on my back, watching those little insects quickly crawl back to the old man's feet, as if they got into his trouser tube, I felt a strange itch all over my body, as if all those little insects had crawled on me, and the idea of learning the art just now disappeared in an instant.
On the contrary, the Taoist priest didn't seem to be impressed by this at all, and still said to himself with a look of admiration: "I have long heard that the Miao Jiang Witch Gu is unpredictable, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name, it is amazing!" ”
At this time, we were already out of the range of corpse tides, and our mood was a lot more relaxed, listening to his words full of envy, I turned my head and glared at him, and said angrily: "If you are really envious, why don't you go up directly and make a great bow to the teacher, so that he can accept you as a vain!" ”
I was just teasing him, but I didn't expect him to take it seriously, and replied with a straight face: "Hey, don't say it, if it weren't for the Taoist master, I followed an unscrupulous old Taoist in my early years and had already entered the Xuanmen, otherwise I would really have to learn from this master!" Do you know why these walking corpses don't attack us, let me tell you, this senior is not only a master of Gu magic, but also a master of witchcraft, see the paper piercing man in his hand, that is your Miao Jiang's spirit witch, all the anger on our bodies is covered by the paper piercing man, so we can come out so swaggeringly. ”
As he spoke, he actually glanced at me with disdain, shook his head and lowered his voice and underestimated: "It's also a descendant of the Miao Jiang Witch Gu, why is the gap so big!" ”
I was so angry with him that I said in my heart that this guy really decided that I was the heir of the Miao Jiang Witch Gu, where the hell would I do this? But I didn't bother to explain to him, glared at him, told him to shut up, and continued to follow the old man.
The old man still didn't say a word, I thought he was going to take us out, but I didn't expect that after walking for almost half an hour, we came to a simple tree hut. There was a bed and some common household utensils in the shack, and a large black cauldron hung from the tree outside, and burned charcoal underneath, as if someone lived here.
Seeing the old man walk in, I was so shocked that my jaw almost dropped, and my heart said no, could it be that this old man actually lives here? Fuck anyone who dares to live in this forest? But after thinking about the old man's performance just now, even if he lives here, it is not unusual, the artist is bold, and there are really many masters in this world who like to live in seclusion in the dangerous Jedi.
But what did he mean by bringing us here, I said to myself that I was different from him, and I was afraid that I would not be able to survive even a day in this hellish place! If he really told us to stay here with him, should we obediently agree, or should we risk our lives to resist? This guy is so powerful, even if we resist, I'm afraid we won't be opponents at all!
Just when I was thinking about these things in a mess, the old man came out with a girl in his arms, and the Taoist priest immediately widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Damn, your grandmother is a heavenly honor, and the golden house is Jiaojiao, this old man will really enjoy it!" ”
I just wanted to tell the Taoist priest not to talk nonsense, but I heard his scream, and the whole person collapsed to the ground, and blood spilled from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. I was shocked when I saw this, and hurriedly said to the old man: "Don't be surprised, old man, this dead Taoist priest usually speaks without a cover, please raise your noble hand and let him go!" ”
As I spoke, I noticed that the old man had raised his head and showed his face under the felt hat. It was a very ordinary face, no different from an ordinary sixty-year-old man, except that his spirit was relatively strong, but at this time, his gaze at the Taoist priest was terrifyingly cold, and it seemed to have murderous intent.
I saw that he didn't seem to be ready to sell my face, so I was anxious, and I put down the person on my back and was about to go to see the situation of the Taoist priest, but suddenly, the old man actually said: "Don't move! ”
This was the second sentence he said along the way, still cold, but with a little more surprise. I looked up at him and saw that he was staring at my hand.
Since my clothes were almost torn during the fight with the walking corpse, the black lines on my hands were half-obscured, and they looked like tattoos. And when I stretched out my hand to help the Taoist, the black lines completely leaked out, and what the old man was staring at at the moment were those hideous black lines.
"What is your relationship with Miao Fengxian in Si Miao Village?"
"Old man, do you know my grandmother?" I was really surprised to hear my grandmother's name in this place, but the old woman in Aji Village also knew my grandmother, could it be that my grandmother had been here before?
After hearing my answer, the old man was silent for a moment, handed the girl to me to hold, and then took out a few leaves from his pocket and fed them into the Taoist priest's mouth. Immediately afterward, I saw a small blue-green centipede come out of the Taoist priest's nostrils, covered in mucus and disgusting.
As soon as the centipede came out, the Taoist priest immediately wailed, but his face lost the look of pain just now, and he quickly recovered. Now the Taoist priest didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and when he saw the big cyan centipede on the ground, his face turned green, and he hurriedly trampled it to death, and then shrank behind my back.
The old man still didn't answer my words, but he said something similar to the old woman: "Boy, I saved you just now, but for the sake of the people of Aji Village who are carrying you behind you, but since you are the grandson of Miao Xiangu, for the sake of your grandmother, give you a piece of advice, hurry back to find her, maybe there is still salvation!" In addition, let's leave quickly after going out, don't stay in Aji Village to harm people! ”
Why is this the case, my head is as big as a fight, this black line has indeed caused me some trouble, but it will not kill me, why would he say that? As for harming people, it is even more difficult to talk about. I wanted to ask, but the old man waved his hand directly, didn't give me a chance at all, and said, "Follow me, I'll send you out!" ”
With that, he didn't care about our reaction and walked forward on his own!
The Taoist priest and I looked at each other, and there was nothing we could do, but for now we had to go out first. So I hugged the girl, and the Taoist priest carried the young man of Aji Village on his back, and continued to follow the old man.
This time I only walked for about ten minutes, and I could already hear the noisy sound from above, and there was even Lin Qiao'er's eager shouting, it seemed that I had not gone out for so long, and she was also panicked!
When he got here, the old man stopped, turned to me, and said, "Okay, remember my words, and leave the village as soon as you go out!" In addition, help me pass a message to Mrs. Lin, just say that the evil eye has been loosened, let her be careful! ”
Seeing that he was going back, I hurriedly asked, "Old man, aren't you going out?" ”
The old man was stunned, looked up at the depths of the misty forest, sighed faintly, did not speak, and disappeared into the mist.
Inexplicably, I felt that this old man was a little kind, and suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful. The Taoist priest called me and said to get out quickly, he was about to die.
We ran out quickly, and when I saw Lin Qiao'er on the slope looking anxiously into the woods, I was so excited that I almost cried. The old woman beckoned a group of people to pull me and the Taoist priest up, and I immediately fell to the ground and almost collapsed. Lin Qiao'er hugged me, and when she saw that I was covered with scars, she immediately cried, I couldn't hear what she said, and the physical aches and mental exhaustion made me just want to sleep well.
And just like that, I fell into a deep sleep, and when I woke up again, it was already two days later.
As soon as I woke up, a middle-aged couple came to visit me and said that I was their savior and had to invite me to their house for dinner. When I arrived, I found that it was a village-wide feast, with more than two dozen tables on the rather spacious threshing floor, filled with sumptuous dishes.
Just when I was wondering whose family was holding the happy event, I saw the Taoist priest laughing with a few little sisters in Ah and Village with a red face, hey, like that, how can there be a little bit of the demeanor of a Taoist priest.
When he saw me, he greeted me happily, and I asked him what was going on, could it be that there was a happy event in the village? At this moment, Lin Qiao'er, who was sitting at a table with a group of girls from Aji Village, saw me and hurriedly pulled me over to sit down, and of course, the cheeky Taoist priest also followed.
After a bit of nonsense, I learned that this banquet was for the young man I rescued from the obscurity, and said, the Taoist priest leaned into the corner of my ear and whispered that the two of us have now become the VIPs of Ah and Village, and now the little sister in the village admires me very much, and asked me if I am interested in developing, maybe I don't have to worry about not marrying a wife in the future.
I snorted at him and told him to get out, and I said that the girls at this table looked at me a little wrong, and it turned out that it was because of this. But speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the girl that the old man handed over to me, when I held her, I couldn't feel the temperature at all, and I didn't know what was going on, so I asked Lin Qiao'er.
