Chapter 276: A Nail
Hu Gaoshan's voice was very low, but the obvious female voice had already sent chills down my back. I lifted the blanket and stood up.
Hu Gaoshan didn't make any extra movements, just sat there and looked up at me. This time, the four people selected by the original four seas for me are all reliable, not to mention the size of the ability, at least they will not play tricks. I knew very well that there was something wrong with Hu Gaoshan, but when I looked at him, I felt that his eyes and expression did not seem to have changed much.
I remembered what he had told me about Banda Jue when I was working with Xiao Mao before, the kind of Zhangxiong secret technique that has been passed down from ancient times. The change in Hu Gaoshan's voice is very much like being possessed by Banda Jue, but his expression has not changed, and even the eyes that are most easily affected do not seem to be abnormal, which can only show that the possessed person is a top master of Banda Jue.
The camp was asleep, and I hesitated for a moment without calling anyone. Even if you shout everyone up now, it's really useless.
"Help me ......"
Hu Gaoshan sat in place and whispered again. It was a distinctly woman's voice, but the accent was strange and stiff, sounding a little bit like the Ganshan dialect.
My eyes involuntarily looked at the three-eyed female corpse that had been placed outside the camp, and the three-eyed female corpse was covered with a canvas, and now that I looked at it, the canvas was still well covered. But the thing is obvious, Hu Gaoshan's changes cannot have nothing to do with this three-eyed female corpse.
I don't know whether to be nervous or glad now, the three-eyed female corpse is very abnormal in itself, and after I brought it back, I didn't dare to move for the time being. At this time, something strange happened, if the hand was owed at that time, and this three-eyed female corpse was really moved, it would be difficult to predict what the consequences would be now.
Hu Gaoshan didn't make any other moves, and still sat in place. I calmed down, took a step back into place, crouched down, looked at him, and asked, "What can I help you?" ”
"Nail ......." Hu Gaoshan looked at me and said, "Take out the nail on your head...... The corpse burned ......"
These two sentences are relatively long, and after I listened to them, I can be completely sure that Hu Gaoshan's voice at the moment is like a foreigner, who went to the northwest region and learned to speak locally, but the learning is incomplete, and the accent seems clumsy and stiff, but fortunately, it can still be understood.
I slowly walked to the three-eyed female corpse under the canvas, and when the canvas was lifted, the corpse remained in place, and I couldn't see anything wrong. I looked at the three-eyed female corpse, and then at Hu Gaoshan.
"Nail ......" Hu Gaoshan stood behind me and added: "Take out the nail ......"
I felt very cold on my body, in the middle of the night, everyone else was asleep, and there was only one old man left who kept vigil, and suddenly used this sharp female voice to talk to himself, and his scalp tingled when he thought about it.
For a moment, I was a little hesitant and didn't know what to do. But after thinking about it, the three-eyed female corpse was not funny, but just expressed her appeal in this more special and scary way.
I took a closer look, and the hair of the three-eyed female corpse was very long, and I needed to peel it off to see more specifics.
After looking at it for a while, at the back of the head of the three-eyed woman, I saw something like a button, firmly embedded in the scalp.
In the shimmer of the flashlight, the button-like thing shimmered with a patina-like glow characteristic of bronze.
The button-like thing is bronze, I don't know if it's the same as the bronze statue, what kind of immortal bronze is. I'm still a little hesitant because I can't say for sure what the consequences would be if I did take it off.
If this thing is something like a seal, then after removing it, it may be like opening a Pandora's box.
"Help me......" Hu Gaoshan stood behind me and whispered: "Only in this way can I be free......"
"Why do you have three eyes?" I asked, "That underground ancient city is specially used to detain people like you?" Who built the ancient city? ”
"Help me ......"
Hu Gaoshan didn't answer my question, just repeatedly asked me to help her remove the button on the back of her head. I made up my mind that I wouldn't do it unless I asked why.
Gradually, Hu Gaoshan's voice was already full of pleading. This plea seemed to pierce the softest and most easily touched place in my heart. As I listened to this voice, I felt as if the owner of the voice had sunk into hell for a hundred years and a thousand years, suffering unbearable.
"I'm just asking, why do you have three eyes."
Hu Gaoshan stopped talking, but the faint light of the flashlight reflected the button, and the patina on the button seemed to fall off in an instant. On the button, there is a small but complex pattern.
Airplanes......
An ethereal sound that seemed to come from above the nine heavens filled the ears, and that sound was like a Buddhist mantra sung in Sanskrit. The chanting sound seemed to drift in the long river of years for countless years, and if there was nothing, in an instant, this ethereal sound enveloped the entire camp.
As the ethereal sound drifted in all directions, the sleeping people in the camp slowly stood up one by one. Everyone didn't seem to wake up, they stood straight in place, their heads drooping slightly, and I could even hear Lao Wang snoring.
No one noticed, no one woke up, everyone stood up, but they were still wandering in their sleep, including the most astute Mu Qiang and Lu Zhishen, who were not spared.
My eyes widened, and it was clear that it was a warning, or rather a coercion. The Three-Eyed Female Corpse was sending a message that she could get everyone in the camp to get up in their sleep, and she would be able to get them to do something else.
"Stop!" I whispered, "Negotiable!" ”
The ethereal chanting ceased at once, and the men who had risen from the camp went back into their tents and carts, and slept soundly.
Before I knew it, my forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Help me ......."
The voice with pleading came out of Hu Gaoshan's mouth again, and I thought nervously, if I don't pull out this bronze button on the head of the three-eyed woman's corpse, she will have the possibility of destroying the entire team, and if I pull out the button, the consequences of which I can't guess.
But for sure, I've been cornered to the point where I have no way out.
I gritted my teeth and tried to pull the copper buttons off the back of the three-eyed woman's head.
It was certainly not a button, but more like a nail with a large cap, and the nail was firmly embedded in the bone, as if it had grown with the head of the three-eyed female corpse. It was difficult to pick it out by hand, so I took a screwdriver or something like that, and it took a lot of effort to figure out the bronze nail.
The nail is actually not long, it is very short, and when the nail is raised, the end of the nail, there are many, many thin copper wires like spider silk, which are also brought out. I know that the metal with the best ductility is gold, and bronze is an alloy, so it should not have such high stretchability, but a thin spider silk like copper wire is right in front of me.
The copper wire is very long, as if it penetrates deep into the muscles and veins and bones in the body, and with a slight pull, the copper wire breaks a lot.
Such a thin copper wire could not withstand such a pull, and all the copper wires were broken, leaving only the strange-looking bronze nail in my hand.
"The corpse is burned........ Hu Gaoshan whispered in a shrill voice next to him: "This nail can keep you safe......
I don't know what this nail is, the three-eyed woman's request to burn the body. I don't know why, but at this time, I suddenly remembered the request I had for my blind third child when he died.
Blind San'er's request was also to burn his body, because only by burning the corpse could he truly break free from that painful reincarnation.
I realized that the three-eyed female corpse should also be for this purpose.
She's been dead for a long time, and the body has become like this, but her consciousness is still there. This is a phenomenon that is difficult to understand, Xiao Mao has told me before, even if he learns Banda Jue, it is impossible to keep his consciousness in a corrupt shell for a long time, unless it is the kind of person who penetrates the heavens and the earth.
Involuntarily, I noticed the strange-looking bronze nail in my hand. This nail is not only strange, but there are thousands of thin copper wires at the end of the nail, and these copper wires have grown into the body of the three-eyed female corpse.
I wondered if the consciousness of the three-eyed female corpse could be preserved for so long, and what must have something to do with this nail.
I dragged the three-eyed corpse in a canvas far away, then ran back and fetched a little gasoline from the cart with supplies.
Gasoline was poured on it, and the ignition was ignited. Hu Gaoshan stood behind me, staring intently at the raging flames.
The corpse of the Three-Eyed Woman burned quickly, and as the flames engulfed, not even a single ash remained. As the fire was about to burn out, I seemed to hear the chanting from all directions again.
The chant at this moment seems to be the whisper of a person before the end of his life. There are no regrets, no obsessions, only a kind of indifference that I am gone and will never come back.
The ethereal sound lasted only two minutes, and when the body of the three-eyed female corpse disappeared.
Hu Gaoshan, who was behind "Mr. Lian......." suddenly shuddered at this time, as if he had woken up from a dream: "What........ Why are we ....... here?"
"Is there a problem with sleepwalking?" I had no way to tell Hu Gaoshan the truth, so I could only perfunctory the past: "It's keeping vigil, and you're wandering back and forth." ”
"It's impossible, I don't have this problem......." Hu Gaoshan was obviously dizzy and confused.
I didn't say anything more, I looked at the place where the three-eyed female corpse had been burned out just now, and then pinched the strange bronze nail in my hand and put it away.
I walked towards the camp, and Hu Gaoshan followed, and until this time, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
