Chapter Twenty-Four: The Tomb and the Evil Spirits Trade
Because of the strange death of Zhuzhu, there were also police officers who came to examine the body before, so the burial was not deep. Just a shallow layer of earth covered the coffin, and we opened the tomb with little effort.
There is only a small coffin in the grave, I know that this is because Zhuzhu is not very old, and it can be said that there are no bones left in the dead, according to the village custom, such a child who died by the side should be thrown out with a broken mat, and they are all considered to have died young. But obviously, the couple couldn't bear it, so they got a small coffin for the child.
As soon as the coffin came out, Aunt Wang turned around and whimpered quietly, and Uncle Wang couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder and whispered comfort.
It was only me and Huang Pizi who opened the coffin together, and as soon as the coffin was opened, I felt very uncomfortable. For no other reason, it had been so long, the flesh and bones remaining in the coffin showed no signs of decay, even the head was well placed there, and the frightened expression of the girl when she finally died could be faintly seen.
Looking at the girl's face, in a trance, I seemed to see a dark room. The girl was kept in a cage, crying in despair.
"Tut-tut, this method is even more vicious than I thought." When I was still in my trance, the yellow skin next to me shook his head and sneered.
"That's not what you said before, huh...... Is the Great Law of the Living Corpse? As soon as my question was asked, he shook his head and told me that it was not time to speak. I understood what he meant, and hurriedly reconciled the coffin and put it back in the grave, and only after the tomb was repaired did I leave with the lame couple with him.
He only said when he sent away the lame couple Wang, and only me and Huang Pizi were left in the house.
"I think Lu Qing seems to have made a deal with some evil spirit, and he is responsible for finding the living. The demon transfers the life of the living to him, and then all the remaining flesh and blood goes to the demon. At this, he felt a little irritated and pinched his fingers.
"Originally, I thought it was just Lu Qing's old thief's business, but now it seems that things are getting more and more complicated. And the most annoying thing is that I can't find the existence of this evil ghost at all, I don't know where he is, and I don't know what to do with him next. ”
Listening to Huang Pizi's words, I also felt a little irritable: "Speaking of which, when I just opened the coffin, I seemed to see Zhuzhu, she seemed to be locked in a room, crying very sadly. ”
Hearing my words, Huang Pizi sighed and said, "This is the viciousness of this spell, because it kills people in advance, so it will always imprison the soul." It will not really die until all their yang life is transferred. Before that, even if it is really alive and dead. ”
Listening to Huang Pizi's narration, I shuddered, thinking of that cute and well-behaved girl, who was now suffering from this kind of torture, and I hated Lu Qing so much.
At this point, I suddenly remembered the female ghost who asked me for help, and I still owe her a request, and today is the third day, and then look at the sky, it is dusk, and now it is just right to go up the mountain.
So I told Huang Pizi about it, and after a little contemplation, he agreed to let me go up the mountain. I didn't delay, I prepared casually, took a flashlight and went into the mountain.
Soon after entering the mountain, it was completely dark, and as soon as it got dark, the surrounding scenery was all the same, plus the hurry of the last time, almost didn't take it seriously to see what reference objects around me, so now I can only rely on my memory to find the location of the female ghost.
Luckily, the area was no different from a normal forest, but it was so quiet that you couldn't hear a bird's call, and the temperature in that area was much cooler than outside.
Although the mountains and forests are large, there is only one such place, and with these two characteristics, although I have wasted a little effort, I still found the location.
"Yes, it's really punctual, I said that I asked you to come over on the third day, but you really came alone." What I didn't expect was that when I arrived, the female ghost was already waiting there, and today she didn't look so terrible, sitting on a stone next to her and wearing her antique clothes, at first glance she looked like an ordinary classical beauty.
"I will do what I promise, whether it is a human or a ghost." The people in the forest who were still as cold as last time were uncomfortable, but fortunately I was prepared, and took out a thick coat directly from my backpack and put it on, watching my movements, the female ghost sneered but didn't say anything.
"I have one more thing to ask you before I ask you what your wishes are." Seeing that the female ghost was in a good mood, I didn't continue to detour with her more, but directly said what I meant: "Recently, something strange happened under the mountain, it seems to be related to an evil ghost, but I and another ...... No one knows the location of this demon, you know? It's a ghost that devours the flesh of a living person. ”
Hearing me ask, the female ghost raised her eyebrows lightly and looked at me in great surprise: "What are you doing to inquire about him?" Don't tell me you messed with him, I don't care about it, I don't want to do anything to provoke such a thing. ”
There was a faint hint of jealousy in her words, but this made me even more curious, it turns out that there is a gap between ghosts and ghosts, I used to think that ghosts are almost the same: "No, but he seems to be a little involved with one of my enemies, what kind of agreement should the two of them have signed, and many people have been harmed recently." ”
"It's good that you didn't provoke him, of course I know his position, but I still have to tell you, don't worry too much about things that have nothing to do with you, there are some things that can't be provoked." She told me very cautiously, and I nodded to her kindness to show that I knew, and when I was about to ask again, Liu Huan ran from me diagonally in front of me with a basket.
"Wang Chen, what are you doing, why are you sitting here talking to a comb? And the forest is too cold, it's freezing me to death......" She rubbed her arms and walked over, and I noticed that the basket she was carrying contained a few red and beautiful looking fruits.
"Liu Huan, are you going up the mountain to pick fruits? Why haven't you gone back so late? I looked at the basket in her hand, then at her, and hurriedly took off my coat and put it on her.
"Xiao Feng, doesn't she want to eat the fruit? I looked around, maybe it was too late to sell, and I had no choice but to go up the hill and pick a little for her...... If you look at it, you've only found a few that look okay. "She looked better when she put on her coat, and showed me the fruit in her basket.
"You don't have any fruit, so I'll accompany you to the market tomorrow to buy it. Don't go up the mountain so late, you don't know how unsafe it is at night. Taking the basket from her hand, I looked at the female ghost quietly, but she snorted coldly and turned her head away from the two of us.
"And what about me, aren't you the same and still talking to a comb here so late." She looked up at me, rubbed her arm, and then looked around again: "But this forest is a bit eerie, and I can't even hear a bird's call, which is strange." Wang Chen, let's go back quickly, I don't want to stay here anymore, it's okay to go buy fruit for Xiaofeng tomorrow. ”
