Chapter 256: Wax Man

Cheng Fanghua is excusable for killing me, I can understand it, but those people who are out of the way, why do they want to kill me?

Not to mention the paper tie and the corpse, just this ferryman, we have never seen it before, and it directly killed me.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the two incense sticks are definitely at the same level as the three corpse incense, and they are more expensive.

If one is 50,000, two will cost 100,000, plus cloaks and rubber dolls, there will be no hundreds of thousands that can't be delivered.

It's a pity that we didn't catch the ferryman, this cargo is also a decisive killing, found that something was wrong, and immediately escaped.

"What's next?"

I looked at Qiqi and asked.

At this point, I think it's a dilemma.

Enter, I don't know how many traps are waiting in front of me, and I don't know when it's a head.

It's not that easy to retreat.

If you go back the way you came, you may not be able to go back at all, for the simple reason that there are several sections of the way back, and it is difficult to climb up.

"Keep moving!"

Qiqi squinted his eyes and said.

Looking at Qiqi's expression, I knew that she was the eighth king eating scales - iron-hearted.

"Qiqi, this incident, is it possible that the blood fox set up a trap for us?" I asked.

I had to think like this, along the way, Qiqi and I followed the clues left by the blood fox.

If it weren't for the clues left by the blood fox, we wouldn't have come here, let alone been ambushed here, and we were almost killed in a pit.

"Unlikely!"

Qiqi thought for a while and said, "The cost is too high!" ”

Qiqi said, while pointing to the leaky rubber doll, and said: "This is made of human skin, you touch it, this human skin has been infiltrated by pure yin qi for at least ten years, this kind of human skin, put it in Wen Xinyue's place, let alone 200,000!" ”

"There are also those two incense sticks, not to mention other materials, the most expensive are corpse oil and dead man's root, you know what the price of corpse oil is, dead man's root is twice as expensive as corpse oil!"

When Qiqi said this, he stretched out his little paws, calculated and said, "Plus the cloak also made of human skin, how can these things get a million!" ”

When Qiqi said this, I also felt that the cost was too high.

"Is dead root so expensive?"

But I didn't expect that dead man's roots are more expensive than corpse oil.

"Do you think any dead man's hair can be called a dead man's root?" Qiqi asked rhetorically.

"Nope!"

I shook my head, I knew from the beginning that what could be called a dead man's root hair must be ordinary.

Looking at the meaning of Qiqi, the dead man's root may be more expensive than I imagined.

"The root of the dead must be the hair of a woman who committed suicide because of love, and the hair of a woman who died with resentment, and it must be the hair of a woman who died by cutting her wrists in the bath."

Qiqi continued.

"Why do you have to cut your wrists?" I asked, puzzled.

I don't know what Qiqi said.

Dead man's root is a kind of thing that belongs to the side door of the side door, and under normal circumstances, no one buys it at all.

For example, if the three corpse incense is not too powerful, no one will buy it at all, it is too expensive.

Qiqi glanced at me, didn't answer why he cut his wrists, and continued: "Cutting your wrists is just one of them, and it also requires women to have three yin gatherings when cutting their wrists!" ”

"The Gathering of the Three Yins?"

I was a little surprised to hear this, which is a bit harsh.

To put it simply, there are three things with yin attributes coming together.

For example, when the hour is yin, the place of suicide is yin, and the thing used for suicide is yin, which is called the gathering of the three yin.

This is more troublesome, and it is difficult to naturally form a condition that meets this condition, and I am afraid that there is no one in ten thousand.

"It's too difficult to gather the three yin, right?" I said.

"It's really hard!"

Qiqi nodded and said, "But you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, it is difficult to rely on natural formation, but it can be synthesized!" ”

Qiqi said this, I understand.

To put it bluntly, it is to find a woman who is injured by love, and forcibly let her commit suicide with a designated murder weapon at the designated time and place.

In this way, the yin and resentment of the deceased will reach a peak, and the effect of the dead man's root will naturally be strong, and the price will also rise with the tide.

This thing is just like corpse oil, and the process of making it is very inhumane and unacceptable.

Qiqi said this, I kind of know how much the ferryman paid to get me.

I'm almost certain that the human skin doll and the human skin cloak are not simple goods, and they are more expensive than those two incense sticks.

But there's no need to ask.

"Did I kick his door, or did I dig his ancestral grave?" I shook my head, I didn't know what to say.

In this way, the ferryman paid a big price for the yin me, and the cliff was a big price.

"Don't think about it, the more this is the case, the more we need to know the truth!" Qiqi's eyes glowed blue, looking at her appearance, she was going to die to the end.

"Hmm!"

I nodded, didn't say anything, and at this point, there was nothing to do but stumble to the end.

On the road again, Qiqi still followed the scent left by the blood fox and moved forward, but he was much more cautious than before.

As I walked, I counted on my fingers how many out-of-the-ordinary occupations there were.

Those who tie paper, sew corpses, ferry, carry corpses, descend Gu, and descend......

According to Qiqi's statement, the rivers and lakes of the year were divided into a variety of categories, a total of 13 categories, and 80 sub-categories.

That is to say, those who run the rivers and lakes, take out any random one, and they may have unique skills.

"Is it that evil?"

I was a little confused by Qiqi.

In Grandpa's notes, although some anecdotes were recorded, they were not as evil as Qiqi said!

According to Qiqi, what kind of chaos does that have to be?

"It's more evil than you think!"

Qiqi snorted and said: "Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, it has been chaotic for fifty years, until the establishment of New China, it can be regarded as stable, in these fifty years, there has not been a year of dissipation, either in the war, or on the way to war, plus various natural disasters, how many people have died in the past fifty years, no one knows!" ”

"If there is a strong government, it is better, but without a strong government, it is very easy to obtain the corpse, and the world will naturally be chaotic!"

This is true, those professions that are out of the way are both good and evil.

For example, if you sew a corpse, in the peaceful era, you are actually an undertaker.

But when the world is chaotic, it may not be the same.

There are also those who tie paper, and when the world is chaotic, it will be easy to obtain the yin soul, and the possibility of sealing the yin soul in the paper binding will increase.

To put it bluntly, it's still the world's troubles.

Thinking about it this way, Qiqi is really right.

"And now?"

I asked, "It's not messy now, how can these out-of-the-way professionals make so many moths?" ”

"Although the world is not chaotic, it is more terrible than chaos!" Qiqi's eyes flashed, and his emotions were a little complicated, "The seal of the Yin Yang River is broken, the dragon vein is unsealed, and the probability of ghosts appearing increases, which is the best era for those who are out of the way!" ”

"The seal on the Yin-Yang River has not been broken yet!" I retorted.

In the illusion, the seal of the Yin Yang River was indeed lifted, and Chen Dong and his son led all the Yin souls in the Yin Yang River to the jade pit and lifted the seal of the Yin Yang River, but it was only an illusion.

The father and son of the Chen family died a long time ago, and what I saw were all illusions.

"Although I haven't solved it now, I will solve it sooner or later!" Qiqi said with a sigh.

That's right, at this point, it is a matter of time before the seal of the Yin Yang River is lifted.

Wuweizi has been laying out for this for more than a hundred years, and it is impossible for him to fall short at this time.

Besides, Cheng Fanghua has been resurrected, and with her help, the chances of Wuweizi's success have greatly increased.

The unsealing of the Yin and Yang River is actually visible to the naked eye.

After walking through the previous three forks, the Yin Yang River reappeared in front of me and Qiqi, not only that, the more we walked forward, the wider the river became, and it would have been nearly ten meters wide.

Unlike before, there is no fog on the surface of the river, no more ghosts to be seen everywhere, and no water monkeys to see.

According to Qiqi, in every drop of water before this river, there were resentful spirits roaring, but now, except for the roar of the river's flow, the voice of resentful spirits could not be heard.

This represents two possibilities, one is that the ghost of Hanoi has been purified, or the other is that the ghost of Hanoi has been drained, just as I saw in the illusion.

No matter which one it is, it shows that the Yin Yang River is about to be unsealed, and this unsealing is visible to the naked eye.

I could feel a strange smell rising from the surface of the river, in short, the air was fresh.

A breath of air comes in, as if you have taken a breath of pure oxygen, and it feels very good.

"Be careful!"

Qiqi and I walked all the way, chatting all the way, and Qiqi suddenly paused, looking ahead vigilantly.

I immediately stopped, extinguished the oil lamp, and stood against the wall.

Without the light of the oil lamp, the cave was plunged into darkness.

Although it is dark, there is still light, and there is nothing at the bottom of the river, providing a faint light, making the river look like a jade belt, beautiful and mysterious.

Compared to when it first came in, the river has changed its appearance.

Looking ahead, the vicinity of the river is fine, but the part of the corridor next to the side of the cave wall is still pitch black, and I can't see what it is!

But I still have faith in Qiqi, Qiqi's nose, to put it mildly, more than a dog.

"The smell of blood, it's strong!"

After half a ring, Qiqi sniffled.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Hmm!"

Qiqi nodded and said, "It's not like a trap, it seems that someone has been killed, let's slow down and touch the front to see!" ”

"Good!"

Qiqi and I moved forward cautiously, and after walking for about thirty meters, we saw the source of the smell of blood.

It is more appropriate that there is a man hanging on the wall of the cave, or rather a dead man.

The largest wound on the man's body was his face, which had been peeled off and nailed to the wall of the cave next to him.

The knife work of the person who started the knife was very good, and this can be seen from the face, which was peeled off without a trace of flesh, and the peel was very clean.

"Is it Chen Hui?" I'm not sure, but I can't think of anyone else with this kind of craftsmanship except Chen Hui.

Chen Hui has a forensic personality in his body, and that personality can peel people's hands into chicken claws with glass, if he has a scalpel, how far can he go?

"I don't know!"

Qiqi shook his head and carefully observed the man's situation.

The man's eyes were wide open, bloodshot inside, and he died a horrible death.

To my surprise, he didn't have any wounds on his body except that his face was peeled off.

"I seem to be scared to death!"

After watching it for a long time, Qiqi gave a conclusion.

"I think so too!" I nodded.

Qiqi thought about it, raised his claws to check, did it twice, his eyes lit up, and said, "This person is half a wax man!" ”

"Half a wax man?"

Although I have seen a lot of accidents since I entered the underground, the word wax man still piqued my curiosity.

"Well, you can try it!" Qiqi said.

"Okay!"

I took out a knife and, according to Qiqi's instructions, scraped it on the man's arm, and sure enough, scraped off a layer of wax skin, but why not a wax man but half a wax man?

"What do you mean by half a wax man?" I asked directly.

"It's half corpse and half human!"

Qiqi replied as he raised his claws and groped for the corpse, "In order to prolong their lives, some people seal themselves with wax in order to achieve the purpose of immortality, but in fact, their bodies are already dead, so they are called half-corpses and half-humans!" ”

To put it bluntly, it is another form of immortality, but this method is more extreme and has more taboos.

For example, you can't stay in a place that is too hot, otherwise, the wax will turn into wax oil, and without the protection of wax, the corpse will rot and stink.

"The corpse of this wax man is well preserved, but I don't know why he was killed!"

After Qiqi checked again, the two of us hit the road again.

Aside from the skin nailed to the cave wall, there are not many clues at the scene.

There are no traces of fighting, no resentment remains, and the hands-on people are very good and clean.

After walking about thirty meters along the river, we met the second wax man.

Similar to the previous wax man's death, this wax man was also hung on the cave wall, except that his face was intact and not peeled off, he was stripped of a piece of skin from his chest.

"Why did you change places?" I asked.

"It is said that the wax man has a tradition that he can keep a place on his body without wax sealing, and this is done to let the wax man remember that he is still a person!" Qiqi said with a frown.

"So the previous one was stripped of his face, and this one was stripped of the skin of his chest!" I stared at the skin pinned to the wall and said, "The person who did it wanted to destroy the last trace of these wax people, which is the so-called murderous heart, right?" ”

"Almost!"

Qiqi nodded and said, "I don't know how these two wax men offended the murderer!" ”

I shook my head, I don't know that.

Moving on, soon Qiqi and I met the third and fourth wax figures.

Like the previous two, it was also hung on the wall of the cave, one was skinned from his hands, and the other was scalped.

When we saw the third one, Qiqi and I were already numb, and we stayed for less than a minute before moving forward again.

By the time we saw the fourth, we were both surprised.

Thankfully, there is no fifth.

After walking a distance safely, Qiqi pulled me and said, "It doesn't taste right!" ”

"Doesn't taste right?"

I reacted immediately and asked, "Is it the smell of blood this time?" ”

Since beating the corpse of the fourth wax man, Qiqi has not asked about the smell of blood for some distance.

"It's not!"

Qiqi shook his head and said, "It tastes a little weird, it's always right to be careful!" ”

"Hmm!"

I nodded, followed Qiqi, and walked cautiously forward.

At this point, I had almost no concept of time.

After being underground for so long, people's thinking will involuntarily become sluggish.

It's not just the time, I don't even remember how far I've walked.

Two illusions before and after, once with my grandfather and once in that cave, I experienced so much that my brain was a little overwhelmed.

"Here!"

At this moment, Qiqi suddenly pointed to the wall of the cave.

I lifted the oil lamp and shone it over and saw what it was.

On the wall of the cave is a worm the size of an adult's thumb, the worm is a bit like a moth, but the wings are transparent, the belly is yellowish-white, fleshy, a bit like a butterfly, and it doesn't look like it very much when you look closely.

Compared to butterflies, the arthropods of this bug are too sharp, like needles.

The result is the same as the previous wax figures, this worm was also nailed to the cave wall, the difference is that the wax figures were hung up, and this worm was nailed by a silver needle.

A silver needle pierced the worm's stomach and nailed the worm to a stone.

"This is a Gu worm!"

Qiqi looked at it for a while and gave a conclusion.

"What did you say?"

This time, I was still shocked.

"This is a Gu worm!"

Qiqi said with great certainty, and as she spoke, she pointed to the several arthropods of the insect extending from the abdomen and said, "You see, these arthropods are very sharp, and they should be used to cling to people's internal organs!" ”

"It's so sharp, clinging to the internal organs, can the internal organs stand it?" I'm not convinced.

"In the human body, these arthropods will be very soft, but once exposed to the human body, they will quickly harden when they encounter air!" Qiqi explained.

After speaking, she said again: "I know why the wax man and this Gu worm are hanging here!" ”

"Why?" I asked.

The wax man and this Gu worm are two different systems, and I would like to hear Qiqi's explanation.

"If I'm not mistaken, the cave walls in front are full of corpses!" Qiqi said with a sigh of relief.

"Hung with corpses?" I asked.

"Hmm!"

Qiqi pointed to the corpse of the Gu worm and said, "This is a kind of public display, and some people are using this method to warn all kinds of people who enter here, let them keep the bottom line and don't make trouble!" ”

"Don't make a fuss?"

I think it's a bit funny to say this, but since I entered here, have I been made less?

Paper-tying, sewing corpses, ferrying, all kinds of people want to touch me.

"Not the people who are against you!"

Qiqi saw my thoughts and said: "These people probably reached some kind of agreement with Wu Weizi when they entered here, but as soon as they came in, they were happy and didn't do what they said, so Wu Weizi did this to kill the public!" ”

This statement is somewhat reluctant, but it is not unacceptable.
