Chapter 1: The Resurrected Female Corpse
In the dimly lit rental room, Wu Wei curled up on the bed, his face was pale, and his body was hot as if he was about to catch fire, not only that, but Wu Wei's teeth and nails had also begun to grow. He raised his right hand weakly, and although the bite on the tiger's mouth was numb, the flesh at the wound was rotten.
Wu Wei knew that he must have been poisoned by corpses, he had heard his grandfather say that the symptoms of people who were poisoned by corpses were exactly the same as his current situation, first his body was hot, and then his teeth and nails would grow longer and longer, he was afraid of seeing the sun, and finally lost his mind and humanity and became a real walking corpse.
Wu Wei felt that his mind began to become trance-like, and everything he saw in his eyes was red. He felt that he was going to be finished, regretted not listening to his grandfather three days ago and went up the mountain alone, regretted breaking into the tomb, regretted that he owed his hands to lift the hijab of the female corpse, but it was too late, Wu Wei's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he slowly lost consciousness.
Seven days ago, an earthquake struck Shangxian Village on the outskirts of Lucheng City, and the epicenter was on Guanyin Mountain, about five kilometers east of Shangxian Village.
More than a dozen villagers were injured in the earthquake, but fortunately there were no fatalities. Soon after the earthquake, when someone went to Guanyin Mountain to collect medicine, they found a crack about 20 meters long and 3 meters wide at the neck of the mountain.
The reason why Guanyin Mountain got this name is because the whole mountain looks like a huge official seal from a distance, and the neck of the mountain is the grip of the official seal, which is also the thinnest part of the whole mountain.
After the earthquake, people found that the inside of the entire Guanyin Mountain was empty when they looked at this crack at the neck of the mountain! Guanyin Mountain is also a relatively large mountain in the local area, and the interior of such a large mountain is empty, which immediately attracted the curiosity and various speculations of local people.
Among them, one of the most widely circulated rumors is that the reason why the inside of Guanyin Mountain is empty is because there is a huge ancient tomb inside the mountain!
When this rumor first came out, many people wanted to climb in the crack of the mountain neck to find out, if there was really an ancient tomb inside, just take two burial goods out, and it would be enough for these villagers to spend a lifetime with their families.
Therefore, in the two days just after the earthquake, Guanyin Mountain suddenly became lively, and there was an endless stream of people who came to the mountain to hunt for treasures, and these treasure hunters were not only local villagers, but also many people who came from other places.
However, although there are many people who come to hunt for treasures, they have never heard of any people who have really found the news that the treasure is full of returns, is it because people are reluctant to make a noise after finding the treasure, for fear of exposing their wealth?
These things, no one who has not gone up the mountain is not clear, and later the treasure hunt alarmed the local officials, and the area around the neck of Guanyin Mountain was also blocked, even if people wanted to go up the mountain to find out, it was not so easy.
But the more this happens, the more it arouses the curiosity of some people, and the official blockade of the mountain neck is quite strict, during which some people who are not afraid of death in order to get rich try to steal the blockade line to find treasure, but none of them seem to have succeeded.
As the saying goes, there are no absolutes in the world, after all, the blockade line on the mountain is not an impregnable wall, and there will always be loopholes in the huge Guanyin Mountain, and it is this loophole that allows Wu Wei to slip into the neck of the mountain smoothly.
Wu Wei grew up in Shangxian Village, is 17 years old this year, has no parents since he was a child, and lives with his grandfather. Wu Wei's grandfather is not his own grandfather, Wu Wei's grandfather is called Wu Mian, he was a Taoist priest in the Taoist temple in Lucheng when he was young, and he returned to the village for some reason when he was middle-aged.
Wu Mian has never married a single wife in his life, when he was seventy years old, one day he went up the mountain to collect medicine, and inadvertently picked up a newborn baby at the foot of the mountain, this baby is Wu Wei.
Wu Wei grew up with his grandfather Wu Mian since he was a child, he never went to school, and Wu Mian personally taught him to read and write. In addition to teaching Wu Wei to read and write, Wu Mian also taught him some kung fu and Taoism since he was a child. This grandfather and grandson look very different in Shangxian Village, but because Wu Mian has the ability to exorcise evil spirits and divination, the villagers often ask for him, so he still has some prestige in the village. Wu Mian relied on this skill to earn money to raise Wu Wei, and the grandfather and grandson depended on each other for their lives, and their lives were quite passable.
However, on the night of the earthquake, Wu Mian looked at the sky at night with a solemn face, and set up a big hexagram on the altar that night. This hexagram was divined for more than four hours, and after the divination was completed, Wu Mian sat down on the ground weakly, as if he had exhausted his whole body's energy, and the clothes on his body were soaked with sweat, and finally he was supported by Wu Wei before getting up and going to bed, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, when Wu Mian got up to cook, he found that Wu Mian was gone, and there was a letter at the bedside of Wu Mian's room, which wrote: Wu Mian and my grandson, I made a big hexagram last night, and there will be a catastrophe in the future, which is probably related to the Guanyin Mountain earthquake. Today I went up the mountain to investigate, if you return home within three days, everything will be fine, if you don't return, you quickly pack your luggage and leave here, go to Lucheng Qingluguan to find Liuyue Taoist to inform you of this, and then find a place to live in Lucheng Don't go back to the village, let alone think about going to me, remember! There is a passbook under the shrine, which is the savings that Grandpa has saved for you, you have grown up, sooner or later you will have to face the world alone, don't worry about Grandpa, know that everything that should happen is a certainty. Before leaving, grandpa has already made a divination for himself, although this trip is dangerous, but there is still a life in the nine deaths, if grandpa survives this catastrophe, he will naturally go to you to renew the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren!
After reading the letter, Wu Wei's heart was full of anxiety and worry, he had been dependent on his grandfather since he was a child, since he could remember, the grandfather and grandson had never been separated, if the grandfather really had an accident, he was not ready to face the world alone.
Although my grandfather is old, his body has always been very strong, and he has never been sick, not even cold. Whoever has something in the village, no matter how serious it is, he can solve it, in Wu Wei's heart, grandpa is like a fairy, so he never thought that one day grandpa would leave him.
For the next three days, Wu Wei couldn't sleep and eat, and every day he hoped that his grandfather would come home suddenly, but until the third day passed, his grandfather did not come back.
Wu Wei sat on his grandfather's bed and cried all night, he couldn't do without his grandfather, Wu Wei thought, if his grandfather was gone, he wouldn't be able to live, no matter whether his grandfather was alive or dead, he would find him. So early on the morning of the fourth day, Wu Wei did not follow the instructions in his grandfather's letter, but went up the mountain alone with a rope and a firewood knife.
Although Guanyin Mountain is five kilometers away from Shangxian Village, it is not far at all for children who have grown up in the mountains since childhood. Wu Wei usually goes to Guanyin Mountain to collect medicine, and he is very familiar with Guanyin Mountain, and it took him more than half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
On the fourth day of the earthquake, it was also the time when the local authorities had just sealed off Guanyin Mountain, and because the blockade personnel were not as familiar with Guanyin Mountain as the locals, it was inevitable that there would be loopholes at the beginning of the blockade.
Wu Wei had a small goal, and he was very familiar with the environment of Guanyin Mountain, so he soon found a blank space at the neck of the mountain, and slipped up the mountain very smoothly.
The neck of the mountain is the thinnest part of the whole mountain, and the twenty-meter-long crack is easy to find, but when Wu Wei found the crack, he found that it had already been isolated by alert.
Wu Wei took advantage of the cover of the surrounding grass and slowly crawled over, the opening was split diagonally, and the slope was uneven, and it was easy to climb into it with bare hands.
The sun couldn't shine in the depths of the rift, and Wu Wei couldn't see how deep it was, so he could only climb down cautiously little by little. I don't know how long I climbed, when Wu Wei stretched out his left foot to explore the road, he suddenly stepped on the air, so he turned around and turned on the flashlight to shine down, and saw that the slope had come to an end, and there was no road ahead.
Wu Wei took a picture around, and saw an iron peg not far away, and a very thick hemp rope was tied to it, which should have been left by the people who came in before. Wu Wei touched it and climbed down the rope, and it was about five or six meters to the end.
Below is a very empty flat land, with a flashlight to shine around, it turned out to be a black hole with no end in sight, now Wu is worried, which direction should I go?
It was too dark in the mountain to have no sense of direction at all, and Wu was afraid that he would get lost if he walked around, so he felt the wall he had climbed down and walked to the right, so that he would not find his way back by walking along the root of the wall no matter what.
Wu Wei groped along the wall for a long time and finally found a road, he didn't know if his grandfather had walked through this road, and he didn't know if there were other roads or entrances around, Wu Wei could only walk one step at a time.
The road is also diagonally down, it should lead to the deeper part of the mountain, the ground and walls of the road are very flat, it is artificially excavated at a glance, is it possible that this is the tomb road leading to the ancient tomb?
When Wu Wei was a child, he heard his grandfather tell a lot of legends about the tomb, and in the stories that his grandfather said, the interior of the tomb was very dangerous, either there were legendary ghosts and zombies, or there were many deadly mechanisms. Therefore, Wu Wei walked very carefully, for fear of disturbing the ghosts in the tomb, or touching some mechanism to shoot hidden arrows.
But fortunately, there was no danger, Wu Wei walked to the end of the road smoothly, and did not encounter any danger. Finally, through the Yongdao, Wu Wei came to a huge stone room.
After entering the stone room, Wu Wei took a flashlight to shine around, but was startled by what was in front of him. There was nothing around the empty stone room, but a big red coffin was placed in the center, which looked very abrupt.
The coffin is a little eye-catching, although Wu Wei can't tell what age the coffin is, but this red is a little too bright, just like the red paint that has just been painted, Wu Wei walked to the coffin, touched it with his hand, and found that the coffin was still made of iron.
In line with the idea that more things are better than less, Wu Wei originally didn't plan to move this coffin. But he just wanted to leave the stone room, but he heard a noise in the coffin, Wu Wei subconsciously stopped, he stood in place and listened carefully for a while, there was a sound in the coffin again, could it be that there was someone in the coffin?
Wu Wu had the courage to think, he was here, and he couldn't let go of a little possibility, in case it was his grandfather! He cautiously walked to the front of the coffin and pushed open the lid of the coffin vigorously, but saw a female corpse wearing a phoenix crown and a curtain lying inside, and the female corpse was covered with a red hijab on her head, but he didn't expect that the female corpse in the coffin turned out to be a bride.
Wu Wei carefully looked at the bride and female corpse in the coffin, and always felt that something was wrong, and after looking at it several times, Wu Wei suddenly reacted, the bare hands of this female corpse did not show the slightest sign of corruption, the hands were white and slender, and the nails were painted red, like the hands of a living person!
Isn't this an ancient corpse, but a fresh corpse that has just been buried in the ground? Wu Wei was shocked and frightened, but he couldn't hide his curiosity, he stretched out his right hand and gently lifted the red hijab of the female corpse, when he saw the female corpse's face, Wu Wei couldn't help but sigh, so beautiful!
This looks like a corpse, it's clearly a sleeping beauty! Just as Wu Wei was shocked by the appearance of the female corpse, the female corpse opened her eyes without warning, her fangs grew violently, and she instantly turned into a hideous face.
Wu Wei was so frightened that his scalp was about to explode, and before he could react, the female corpse raised her head and bit Wu You's right hand. Frightened, Wu Wei struggled back frantically, and tried his best to withdraw his hand. However, it was too late to draw his hand, and the fangs of the female corpse were bitten through the tiger's mouth in his right hand, and blood flowed out, and soon the entire palm of his hand was red.
Wu Wei covered the wound with his other hand, quickly turned around and ran out, he felt like a rabbit being pursued, and his feet ran a little without touching the ground. Just when Wu Wei ran to the middle of the road, suddenly there was a loud "bang" behind him, and then the surroundings began to shake violently.
