Chapter 13: The Past of the Living Corpse
His voice trembled, and I listened to the stiffness of the back of my neck, cold sweat oozed from my forehead, and my mind unconsciously remembered what I had seen on TV, those dried corpses that had been buried in the sand for decades before they came to light.
I twitched the corners of my mouth and smiled unnaturally, "Don't talk nonsense, it's only been a long time since your grandfather went west." ”
"Lie to you, I'm a grandson! During the day, my mom said that my grandfather was fine when he had dinner, and he would get up from sleep this night... ”
Jia Ren's voice was a little choked, and his eyes were also red, I sighed and said, dust to dust, dust to dust, people have already left, let him not think about it.
However, his description coincides with a certain fragment in my mind, that is, the Lan Taoist priest that Lao Luo said, the Taoist priest I have never seen also became that terrifying appearance after death.
As far as the information currently known, Old Lady Jia died because of that jade pendant, so could the Lan Daoist who also died because of that evil thing?
I think this is very likely, and the identity of the other party's Taoist priest is very likely to come into contact with this kind of thing.
"What do you want?" Jia Ren saw that I was serious, too serious, and interrupted me.
"I think of a Taoist priest, his death is the same as your grandfather's, his whole body is purple like a dried corpse."
I truthfully told Jia Ren what Daoist Lan and what he said after I met Daoist Mo.
After being silent for a long time, Jia Ren took a deep breath, "Do you know that my grandfather used to be a Taoist priest?" ”
"Huh? This... "I was extremely surprised, when I was studying, Jia Ren's grandfather was the teacher who taught me, how can a people's teacher be a Taoist?
"Really, remember the diary I mentioned to you last time I was drinking? Many of my grandfather's Taoist professions are written on it.,I thought the living corpse I told you about before was making up a story.,After this incident... ”
Jia Ren swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "I dare to say that it is absolutely true, there are names of famous people on it, as long as we go to verify it, we will know." ”
"And the diary you carry?" I was nervous and expectant, and he nodded and said, "Take it, I'll get it with you now." ”
Jia Ren got up and went back to the house, and after a while, he walked out with a worn-out red-skin diary.
I stared at the diary and my heart was beating wildly, and he opened the diary in his hand for a moment, then handed it to me, "This is it, you see." ”
I took it and looked at it carefully, and I was shocked to see the text on it.
It was about fifty years ago, in a place called Yinfenggang ten miles outside Yansi Village, Gaoqiao Town, two Taoist priests, one old and one young, were looking around with a compass, the little Taoist priest was Jia Ren's grandfather, and the old Taoist priest was his master.
The two of them were entrusted by the villagers to come here to 'collect the corpse', and the old man in Zhang Mazi's family in the village suddenly died violently, and his body quickly dried up and turned into a purple dried corpse.
On the night of the vigil, a black cat passed by in the mourning hall, and the corpse suddenly sat up from the coffin, which scared the vigil away, and by the time the people came back with torches and shovels, the corpse was gone.
Then something terrible happened in the village, the mysterious disappearance of poultry and livestock, and one day the woodcutter found the bones and blood stains of many animals in the area.
Everyone rumored that the corpse in Zhang Mazi's house had become a living corpse, and it was precisely because of this that the old Taoist priest was found.
As soon as he thought of the living corpse, Jia Ren, his grandfather felt a thrill, he had heard his master talk about the living corpse, a bloodthirsty monster.
At the beginning, the strength was weak and could only eat poultry such as chickens and ducks, and after a period of blood nourishment, they would catch cattle and sheep and other domestic animals to suck blood and eat meat, and finally the livestock and poultry could not be satisfied, so they began to eat people.
Jia Ren's grandfather was scared half to death, and it was the first time he had to face this kind of man-eating monster after six or seven years of following his master.
And that night did not disappoint them, his master noticed the existence of a living corpse in front of a cave.
The "clucking" sound sounded like a toad, but soon the smell of blood coming from the cave made Jia Ren and his grandfather know what was inside.
There seemed to be a pair of invisible hands pinching his heart in the air, and he could clearly feel his palpitations with every breath.
The strange sound became clearer and clearer, and the dry bones and fur of the animals at the mouth of the cave were shocking to Jia Ren and his grandfather.
He looked closely into the cavern, and the deep and endless darkness was like a black hole, and he felt as if his soul had been sucked in.
Fortunately, his master pulled him back, so he didn't lose his soul and rushed in, and seeing him like this, the old Taoist kicked him in the ass and asked him to go back first, and the old Taoist went into the cave alone.
It was pitch black and couldn't see anything clearly, Jia Ren and his grandfather took out the fire fold from his arms and took a look inside, he found that the cave was like a black bear or a leopard or other fierce beast was dug out, and there were many traces of sharp claws on the left and right cave walls.
Two or three meters away is a corner, and everything in it ends at this corner.
Jia Ren's grandfather whispered 'master' twice, and nothing could be heard in it except for some murmuring sounds.
Suddenly, a strong wind slapped from the hole, and the fire in his hand was suddenly extinguished, and he smelled a strong fishy smell in his nose!
Just as he was about to re-light the fire, a terrible scream came from the entrance of the cave!
Jia Ren and his grandfather were so frightened that the fire fold in his hand fell to the ground, and then a rapid 'rustle' sound sounded in the cave, as if something was crawling towards the entrance of the cave quickly!
The sound of the rapid crawling made the stench mixed with the smell of blood even stronger, and he knew that his master was afraid that he would be more than lucky!
This is crawling outside the cave entrance, if not a living corpse, but a man-eating beast! If he doesn't leave, he'll stay here! Jia Ren, his grandfather wiped away his tears, gritted his teeth, spread his legs, and ran!
In addition to his own rapid gasp, he could also hear a strange 'smack' panting sound behind him, which was like a ghost's sneer in his heart, and his heart was furious!
And the smell of blood was also tightly wrapped around him, Jia Ren and his grandfather didn't dare to look back, for fear that he would see something terrible and his knees fell to the ground in fright!
The mountain road was rugged, and there were either broken stones or vines and wild grass under his feet, and he panicked under the high nervous tension, and tripped over the vines when he stumbled under his feet.
This time the dog ate and fell so that his eyes were full of stars, he just got up from the ground with a muffled grunt, and ran down the mountain without caring about wiping the dirty blood off his face!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up and stepped away from his left leg, his right leg and neck were hooked by something!
