Chapter 19: The Ghost Strikes the Wall
Although asking for divine fingers is not very useful to the disciples who are out of the horse, it will be useful to me, who has not yet established the hall, at least when Liu Yinshuang ignores me in the future, I can also call other immortal families to help.
I started to draw according to the instructions on the picture, but after a while, I heard Chen Xing in the pit suddenly shouting, "Master Xiaolin, look at what this is......
I looked down into the pit, but saw that Chen Xing seemed to have dug something, and was picking up the soil with both hands, and following the soil he had picked up, I could clearly see the black wooden plank.
I put away the "Guo Shouzhen Twenty-four Finger Diagrams", and then jumped down the pit to dig up the soil with Chen Xing, and slowly I saw that there was a black coffin under my feet, and Chen Xing and I were stepping on the coffin lid at the moment.
"I'll you!"
Realizing that he had stepped on the lid of the coffin, Chen Xing screamed, and his legs were a little weak in fright.
I looked at the lid of the coffin, touched the lower surface, and listened to the new one, which should have only been buried for a few days.
"Master Kobayashi, we're not going to dig up someone else's coffin, are we?"
Chen Xing asked worriedly, and I thought so too, after all, the Chen family said that they didn't enter the coffin when they buried Qiusui, and they were directly wrapped in straw mats and buried, but now we have dug up a coffin.
Then it's clear that we're in the wrong place!
This is to blame for that Chen Damao, who can't even remember the location of the buried body......
Just as Chen Xing and I decided to rebury the coffin, Chen Zhi came back.
As soon as he returned, he was panting and sweating profusely, apparently trotting all the way.
"What about your uncle?"
I asked Chen Zhi, but he smiled awkwardly, and then said, "My uncle and my father both said that there was something to do. ”
"Can't come?"
Hearing this, I was a little angry, I didn't have to think about it to know that the Chen family brothers were afraid to come! To say that the two brothers Chen Damao and Chen Ermao were afraid when they buried their bodies, they were buried by other girls with a broken straw mat, and now they are afraid to dig up the corpses?
"Chen Zhi, what did my father say, is this the location where the body is buried?"
After Chen Xing opened his mouth to ask, Chen Zhi immediately nodded, and then pointed to a dead old willow tree not far away and said, "Uncle said, the burial place is here, and the willow tree next to it is a mark." He and my father deliberately counted the steps when they buried the body, and it was five meters away from the willow tree due south, which is true. ”
Chen Zhi said that the place we dug was right, that would be strange...... Why didn't we dig up Qiu Sui's body, but instead dug up a coffin?
Could it be that Chen Damao and they remembered it wrong? In the first place, they were buried in the coffin instead of being buried in a mat?
Chen Xing and I exchanged glances, he swallowed and spitted, and then said to me, "Master Xiaolin, why don't we open the coffin and take a look!" ”
He is bold, regardless of whether this coffin is Qiu Sui or not, if it is really Qiu Sui, the corpse inside must be decomposed, and there is no opinion.
I hesitated a little, but finally agreed to Chen Xing's method, after all, it is not the way to wait like this now, and it is almost dark.
No one can guarantee what Akiho's ghost will do after dark......
"Okay, pry the coffin!"
Chen Xing and I jumped down and began to pry the lid of the coffin, Chen Zhi was a little scared, just watched outside, and didn't come to help.
Because the coffin was buried entirely in the earth, and it was buried very deeply, it took us a lot of effort to pry the lid open.
As a result, when the lid of the coffin was pried open, I saw that there was only a broken straw mat inside the coffin, and nothing else......
"What about corpses? This...... What's going on? ”
The three of us looked at each other.
If you want to say that no matter who is buried in this coffin, there should be a corpse, no one will be bored to bury an empty coffin, right?
My mind was a little messy, and I couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Could it be that the grave robbers stole the body?"
Chen Xing muttered, his mind was a Taoist priest.
I think there is a possibility, it's not popular to buy human organs or something now, if the coffin is buried in Qiu Sui, maybe Qiu Sui's body was stolen by those tomb robbers, sold the organs, and then it was not a ghost marriage or something, in short, the body could not disappear for no reason.
"Otherwise, let's go back first...... I always thought it was eerie and scary. ”
Chen Zhi said tremblingly, his voice a little stumbling.
I glanced at the empty coffin, and the straw mat inside was the right thing Chen Damao said, but other things made me confused.
If you continue to stay here, you can't find anything, and the most important thing at the moment is to find Qiusui's body.
"Let's go down the hill first."
I said to the two brothers, Chen Xing and Chen Zhi, and then the three of them walked down the mountain.
When I was halfway up the mountain, the fog began to rise in the mountains.
At first, it was just a thin mist, and I didn't take it seriously, but before long, the fog got thicker and thicker, and I couldn't even see the road ahead.
To say that the road on this mountain is originally crooked, not easy to walk at all, it is now dusk, the light is already dark, coupled with the fog, seriously affects the speed of our descent of the mountain.
After walking for a while, Chen Xing, who took the lead, suddenly stopped, and then said with a nervous expression, "We seem to have been here just now?" ”
Hearing his words, I couldn't help frowning, but Chen Zhi hurriedly looked around, and finally said, "Brother, are you mistaken, why don't I feel it?" ”
"Maybe it's my delusion."
Chen Xing took a deep breath, and then continued to lead the way, and walked like this for more than an hour, according to the distance when going up the mountain, we should have reached the foot of the mountain by now, but we were still going around the mountain.
"What's going on...... Why can't you get out! ”
Chen Xing suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, his voice collapsed a little, and Chen Zhi was made to tremble by this shout, and hurriedly said, "Brother, are you taking the wrong way?" ”
Chen Xing turned his head and glared at Chen Zhi, and said angrily, "How can it be wrong, I have walked this road many times, but no matter how I go now, I always go around in the same place...... It's like ......"
Chen Xing didn't dare to say the latter words, but I spoke for him.
"It's like a ghost hitting the wall."
As I finished speaking, Chen Zhi and Chen Xing's faces immediately turned pale.
The ghost hitting the wall is also called the ghost covering the eyes, as the name suggests, that is, the ghost uses magic to confuse people's eyes, so that they can't distinguish the direction, their self-perception becomes blurred, and they don't know where to go, so they always turn in circles, which is the current state of the three of us.
In fact, the first time Chen Xing spoke, I kept an eye on it and deliberately marked the tree on the side, and it turned out that just after more than an hour's journey, I passed by the marked tree no less than three times, which shows that we are indeed in the same place.
"Master Xiaolin, you are a mage, you will definitely be able to crack the ghost wall, think of a way."
Chen Zhi cried and grabbed my arm with a sad face and shouted, I really wanted to correct Chen Zhi and tell him, "I'm not a mage, I'm a disciple of the horse." ”
But after thinking about it, forget it, after all, even if I emphasize it many times, for Chen Zhi, they will not care, in their cognition: mage, feng shui master, Taoist priest and horse immortal are all similar professions, collectively referred to as divine sticks.
Don't ask me how I know what they think, because before I got out of the horse, I thought the same thing they did.
Back to the topic, it's the first time I've encountered this ghost hitting the wall, and I don't know how to crack it.
Just as he was worried, a strange laugh came......
