Danma said that as long as he fell asleep, he would not be bothered and would not do anything wrong, and what he meant by wrong was to open the curtain and let the ascetics in.

Wei Chiran asked, "Is that an ascetic?" Why can't you let them in, isn't this halfway house built for ascetics? ”

Danma looked around: "Do you know what the halfway house is made of?" It's the Dead, and the grinding sounds you heard earlier are from the Dead! ”

At this time, Wei Chi realized that the sound was made by the ascetic cultivator dragging the corpse with an iron chain, but what was the reason for the bell? Why do ringtones come and go?

He Changqing, who barely spoke, asked, "Are these ascetics human?" Or ......"

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know," Danma continued to say, shaking his head constantly, "I don't know what they are, I don't want to know, I just want to get out of here quickly, and then go to Yunzhou Temple, and it will be safe to go to Yunzhou Temple." ”

He Changqing seemed to be deliberately stimulating Danma: "But after we go, we still have to go back the same way?" ”

Danma's face became even more ugly than before, as if he had ignored this fact before: "That, that, then I'll stay in Yunzhou Temple, I, I, come, take medicine, as long as you fall asleep, it's okay." ”

He Changqing said lightly: "You eat, Wei and I won't eat it." ”

"No," Danma looked excited, "if you don't eat, you'll be curious, open the curtains, the ascetics will come in, and we'll all be doomed, we'll all die!" ”

He Changqing continued to ask, "If we open the door, what will the ascetics do to us?" ”

Danma sat slumped on the ground and kept shaking her head: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know......"

Wei Chiran looked at Danma, who was out of control and completely collapsed, and was about to get the medicine, of course, his plan was to pretend to take the medicine and let Danma sleep peacefully first. Danma saw that the two of them had taken the medicine, and he was also a lot more relieved, so he immediately swallowed it, swallowed it with wine, and then fell asleep groggily.

When Danma fell asleep and He Changqing shook him and didn't wake up, Wei Chiran got up and approached the door: "Master, I want to go out and have a look." ”

He Changqing nodded slightly: "Be careful." ”

After carefully opening the curtain of the door, Wei Chi found that there was only a pair of tattered shoes outside the curtain, and there were traces of heavy objects on the rocks outside, and then the flashlight was shining around, but he did not see the ascetic or its corpse, nor did he hear any sound.

Wei Chiran squatted down and looked at the pair of shoes, and then turned his head to look at He Changqing who was drinking tea in the house, he didn't understand, how could He Changqing be so calm.

After the curtain was lowered, Wei Chiran walked back to He Changqing's side and asked for a cup of tea: "Master, this is a good evil sect." ”

He Changqing said: "It's not here, but the whole world has become weird now, in the past few hundred years, there has been no accident in the Jiaguo Canyon, and solar eclipses have happened from time to time, but the corpse ancestor has not woken up, but now everything has come out, and we have also seen the fox demon in the evil tower of Seven Star Town, so I am no longer strange." ”

Suddenly, the crisp bell rang again, the chains hit the ground, and the sound of the corpse rubbing against the rock came from the doorway again. Wei Chiran and He Changqing both looked at the position of the door curtain, and after hearing the sound of the iron chain falling to the ground, they saw that the iron chain appeared next to the broken shoes again, and then the strange voice sounded again: "Is there salt?" ”

Wei Chiran looked at He Changqing, He Changqing shook his head slightly, signaling him not to speak.

Wei Chi was about to get up and was about to open the door curtain to see what was going on, but He Changqing grabbed his wrist and signaled him not to go.

"Is there any salt?" The voice asked again.

Wei Chiran and He Changqing just listened like that, without any response. Wei Chiran wasn't very scared in his heart, he was just curious and puzzled, he didn't understand what the cultivators outside were? Ghost? Or a youkai?

"Is there any salt?"

"Is there any salt?"

"Is there any salt?"

"Is there any salt?"

……

The ascetics outside kept repeating these three words, as if someone was outside with a tape recorder repeating them, which made people extremely irritating to listen to. Finally, Wei Chiran asked with a little anger, "What do you want salt for?" ”

"If you don't have salt, the meat will go bad." The voice replied, as calm as before.

Meat? Does this thing need salt to marinate meat? Wei Chi subconsciously looked at the dried meat hanging on the top of his head, He Changqing put down the teacup, slowly leaned over to look over, and said at the same time: "We don't have salt, you can go." ”

The voice did not answer, and there was no movement outside the door as the dragging sound sounded.

He Changqing motioned to Wei Chi, and Wei Chiran stepped forward and suddenly opened the curtain, and found that in addition to the broken shoes, there was also an iron chain left outside the door, which was rusty, and there seemed to be dried blood stains on it.

Wei Chiran and He Changqing both speculated that every time an ascetic came to ask, he would leave something behind, and then what he would leave behind next time might be his own soul.

Wei Chiran asked, "Master, you haven't told me yet, what exactly is the Spiritual Death?" ”

"It was a torture instrument a long time ago, do you know the shackles?" He Changqing looked at Wei Chiran, "It is something that was worn on the neck of a prisoner in ancient times, and the same is true of the spiritual corpse, which is to stuff a person into it, only expose the head and hands outside, and the body presents a distorted state, and then put it in the sun until death, which is a very cruel criminal law." Later, some people transformed this torture instrument into something like a coffin, but it was usually given to those who had meritorious servants. ”

You know, it is impossible for a slave to own anything, not even after death, he is not allowed to have anything wrapped around himself, and he is not allowed to have a place to throw it away after death, or use it as food for wild beasts. And a meritorious slave will have a spiritual death after death, which is ostensibly a gift, but in fact it means that you will not be set free even after death.

Wei Chi Chi asked, "Then why did the ascetic cultivator drag the corpse with him?" What's the point? ”

He Changqing said: "I don't know what I know, probably that means that people are always moving forward with a burden, and what is loaded in the spiritual death is the ascetic's own sins, and he has to carry the sins and practice, until one day, you feel that the spiritual death has no more weight, which means that you have completely atoned for your sins." ”

Wei Chiran quipped: "If it feels lighter and lighter, it means that the exercise has been fruitful and the person has become stronger, right?" ”

He Changqing couldn't help but smile: "Blind and poor." ”

The bell rang again at this time, and Wei Chiran and He Changqing both knew that every time the bell rang, it indicated that the ascetic would appear again, and this time the ascetic kept asking them for salt, they replied as before, and asked the ascetic to leave, and waited for him to leave, Wei Chiran hurriedly opened the door curtain, but did not find the spirit at the other end of the chain as speculated, but heard a heavy dragging sound coming from the direction of the river bank.

Wei Chiran did not turn on the flashlight, but looked carefully through the moonlight, and found that a figure was dragging a huge cabinet with iron chains on the riverbank.

He Changqing also walked out, but he jumped up, jumped on the dead tree, cautiously approached the branch, and looked at the bell inside.

"Strange," He Changqing took off a bell and threw it to Wei Chiran after reading it, "Take a look." ”

Wei Chi looked at the bell and found that there was only a bell and no bell, and the reason why the bell was called this is because it was composed of two parts, the spherical shape of the appearance was called the bell, and the impact object in it was called the bell, which was also described as the sound it produced.

Since there is no impact inside, it is impossible for the bell to make a sound, right?

Just when the two of them were puzzled, the ascetic in the distance gradually flashed towards them at a strange speed, and this scene caused the two to immediately run back to the halfway house, looking at the door in horror.

At this time, the two of them really felt scared, because the speed of flashing was definitely not something that humans could do.

The sound of the bell rang again, and the tempo was much faster than before, and the sound was irritating, and with the sound of the bell, the ascetic's voice continued, "Is there any salt?" Is there any salt? Is there any salt? ”

Wei Chi Chi's heart was crossed, and he directly opened the door curtain to see what was standing outside the door.

After the curtain of the door was opened, Wei Chi saw clearly what was outside the door, and was stunned for a moment, because although the man standing at the door was dressed in tatters, like a beggar, although his hair was messy, his face was haggard, and he was skinny, he could still recognize it, it was Danma.

But Danma outside the door had no eyes, only two flesh-colored holes, the holes were full of rotten meat, and there were white insect repellent wriggling, this scene saw Wei was stunned, and his brain was blank for a while.

"Come back!" He Changqing grabbed Wei Chiran and wanted to drag him back, but Danma outside the door also grabbed Wei Chiran and wrapped the chain directly around his wrist.

The iron chain wrapped around Wei Chiran's wrist like a snake, and began to drag Wei Chiran out desperately, while Danma outside the door raised his hands and hugged Wei Chiran's head, stretching out his tongue that had rotted and only half was left.

He Changqing didn't dare to leave the halfway house, so he had to raise his foot and kick Danma outside the door, but it was useless to raise his foot and kick it, and Danma outside the door didn't move.

Outside the door, Danma opened Wei Chiran's eyes with his hand, shaking the tip of his rotten tongue towards the position of Wei Chiran's eyes, and the previous voice came out of his throat: "Is there any salt?" ”

The immobile Wei Chiran finally realized that he was not talking about "Is there salt", but asked "Do you have eyes", and just as the tip of its tongue was about to approach Wei Chiran's right eye, a tragic shout came out from the room halfway through.

"Ahh

Danma outside the door shook off Wei Chiran, pushed away He Changqing, rushed into the house, and pressed Danma to the ground, like a beast, approached Danma's face and sniffed exaggeratedly, and kept making that voice in his throat and eyes: "Do you have eyes?" Do you have eyes? Do you have eyes? ”

Danma was completely frightened, looking at the other self who was holding him down in horror, trembling all over, and soon the two Danma's bodies gradually merged together and gradually disappeared.

Wei Chiran and He Changqing looked at this scene in surprise, what is going on? Where did Danma go? What about people? How did it suddenly disappear?

As soon as they thought of this, they heard a creaking sound from outside the door, and the two of them turned around tremblingly, and found that the door of the top cabinet of the corpse attached to the end of the chain had opened, and a pair of snow-white hands slowly stretched out from it.
