Chapter Twenty-Four: The Shadow of the Dead
The face of the blind man!
I hurriedly pulled the corpse over from the water, examined it carefully, and made sure that it was Sun Blind.
A good man died in the water.
And he died very miserably, Sun Blind Man's face was full of fear, he should have seen something terrible before he died, his head was also twisted and deformed, and he looked up to the sky.
All along, Sun Blind has been kind to me and has helped me a lot.
Now that he is dead, I am still very sad in my heart, but in addition to grief, I am also very afraid.
Sun Blind died here inexplicably, and when I went into the water just now, I didn't see him, that is, he died in just a few minutes when I was underwater.
Who killed him?
Is it related to me?
Is the killer nearby now?
I steadied myself, stuffed the parchment roll in my pocket, looked around, and found no one, and then dragged the body of the blind man to the shore.
There are no residents on the shore, only the candle fire is still lit in the river temple, which is considered a safe place.
I dragged the body of the blind man and put it in the river temple for the time being.
The stone statue of the river god is enshrined in the center of the temple, high above, and incense is placed on the altar. I almost died at its hands before, and now the death of the blind son may have something to do with it, so I don't have any good impression of it.
Sun is blind and has no children, no daughters, and no relatives, and now that he is dead, he has nowhere to go to mourn.
I remember that my grandmother once said that the blind grandson helped me, and I will give him filial piety in the future, but the blind grandson refused at that time, and now in this situation, I feel that I have to take it on and wear filial piety for the funeral of the blind grandson.
"Blind Sun, maybe you died because of me, and I owe you, you can leave with confidence, I will definitely do a good funeral for you."
What was supposed to be an exclamation was answered.
"I can't walk with confidence."
The voice sounded faintly in the river temple.
I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that someone was here, so I immediately stood up and looked around vigilantly.
Didn't find anyone.
"Who?"
No one responded to me.
But the dark shadow under my nose flashed, it was the shadow of Sun Blind.
The shadow of the dead moved.
My mind went blank, I froze in place, slowly looked down, and found that the dead blind man had moved.
He supported his body with his hands to get up from the ground.
The most peculiar thing is that the shadow on the ground moves faster than the body, that is, it is his shadow that moves with the body.
A normal person moves first with his body, and then the shadow follows with him, but his body moves with the shadow, and the shadow becomes alive.
A dead man, the shadow is alive.
Unheard of strange things.
Even though I've experienced a lot of strange things in the past few days, I'm still dumbfounded when I see this scene now.
"Sun... Sun Blind, how are you... How did you live again? I subconsciously muttered.
Sun Blind didn't respond to me, and continued to try to get up, and finally got up from the ground with great difficulty, and the shadow under him was like a scaffold, supporting his body.
His neck was deformed, his head was tilted, and he couldn't see people properly.
The shadow began to haunt him, spreading to his neck, and he heard only a "click" and his neck was snapped back.
However, the bones in the neck position are not arbitrarily twisted and unchanging, so they are folded back, and instead of returning to their original shape, the bones are directly broken.
The whole head is slumped down, and only the flesh is attached, so it only takes a little force to take the head off.
It's such a head, but it opens its mouth to speak.
"Jiji, Chen Ping'an, you kill me, return my life."
As he spoke, he pounced on me.
I was so scared that I yelled and ran away.
I don't know why Sun is blind like this, but it's certainly not a good thing.
I ran two steps and was about to run out of the river temple when the temple door suddenly closed on its own, almost knocking me into it.
The door seemed to be locked, and no matter how much you pulled it, you couldn't open it.
And the shadow of the blind man tugged at his body, chased after him from behind, and was about to pounce on me.
The River Temple is such a big place, I can't run out, I can only run in circles.
Fortunately, Sun Blind didn't move fast, otherwise I would definitely have been caught up.
The two of us circled around the river temple twice, and it didn't catch up with me, but no matter what I said, he didn't listen at all, and didn't seem to remember our friendship anymore.
At this time, I also knew in my heart that the blind Sun was no longer the blind Sun of the past.
And I had to save myself.
While running, he touched the incense stick that was used to burn incense on the stage, preparing to find an opportunity to knock it down and then find a way to get out of here.
The shadow tugged at his body, and he was already unable to move, as if he was disabled.
I took an opportunity and smashed Xiangding on his head.
Poof!
Xiangding broke his head, and blood immediately flew out, splashing all over my face.
I cursed in secret, touched the blood on my face, and took advantage of the fact that he was beaten back a little by me, rushed to the door, kicked the door hard, and tried to get out quickly.
But this door can't be kicked open.
The blind man steadied himself, slowly leaned over to me, and made a sound from his mouth again.
"Chen Ping'an, give me back my life, give back my life, hand over the things, hand them over."
I could only continue to dodge and escape.
"Blind Sun, you really don't know me, even if your death has something to do with me, you don't have to do this to make me pay for my life, I originally wanted to give you a funeral of Dai Xiao. Besides, what bullshit you and I want, what can I give you. ”
Angry, I scolded as I ran.
It even replied to me: "Things in the Wenshui River, things in the Wenshui River..."
I didn't take his words to heart, and replied casually: "There is something in the Wenshui River on me, we have been together, what do you still not know about me?" ”
"Things in the Wenshui River, things in the Wenshui River...", and then, this guy only muttered this sentence again.
Suddenly, I thought of the parchment roll that I put in my arms, could it be that the blind man wanted this?
No!
What Xiao Jiu left me, only she knows, and she also told me to keep it secret, so it is impossible to spread it out, so this thing must not be a parchment roll.
Running and running, I noticed a phenomenon.
The blind man never walked on the incense ash.
Just now I smashed it with the incense ding, and the incense ash inside fell to the ground, and now he is running after me, and he can walk directly from the incense ash, but it turns a long way and chases it, as if it is afraid of the incense ash.
Anyway, he couldn't catch up with me, so I had this guess, so I grabbed a handful of incense ashes.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for him to pounce, he threw the incense ash in his face.
Suddenly, the blind man stopped and let out a piercing scream.
Squeak squeak!
The voice was not a human voice at all, it was like the voice of a mouse.
I was overjoyed, and since he was afraid of the ashes, I could use the ashes here to deal with it.
Fortunately, the river temple has just been built in the past few days, and the people in the town have come to burn incense and pray, and there is a lot of ash in the incense ding, otherwise there is no such opportunity.
"Blind Sun, I don't care if you are a corpse or a ghost, hurry up and get out of me, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you." I threatened with incense ash in my hand.
Hearing my words, looking at the incense ash in my hand, he was indeed frightened and took a step back.
But it didn't mean to retreat, it still stared at me, waiting for me to pounce on me again as soon as I showed a flaw.
I also know that this kind of evil thing is hard and not soft, and it is useless to reason with them, as long as you use force to suppress it.
The ash on his hand was raised again.
Sun Blind had already prepared, but the place of the river temple was only so big, and it had nowhere to hide, and it was still rubbed a little by the incense ash.
The incense ash is more harmful to it, and when it touches a little, it is also a scream, and the shadow supporting the body is even more twisted like an insect, and even the body swayed.
This time, I didn't stop, and continued to grab the incense ash from the ground and sprinkle it continuously.
The blind man kept retreating, his body against the door, and there was no way to run, but I didn't rush in, but kept throwing dust from it at a distance.
I'm also afraid that he will jump off the wall in a hurry, and when the time comes, I will attack regardless of the damage of the incense ash, and I really won't have a move.
What I have to do now is to force it away, not dispose of it, and I don't have the ability to do that.
Finally, the shadow on the ground couldn't hold it anymore and let the body fall, and the shadow also turned into a ball and broke away from the blind sun's body.
"Chen Ping'an, I will come back to you."
There was a chilling sound in the shadows, and then the shadows went through the crack in the door.
Seeing this scene, I secretly guessed in my heart: Wasn't Sun blind just now?
The shadow was really weird, as if it had borrowed the body of the blind man, and now it was detached.
There is also a problem, that is, the body of the blind man is on the ground, and the candle is shining on the side, and there is no shadow of it.
The shadow is gone, and when there should be a shadow, it will no longer appear.
It must have something to do with the black shadow that just broke out of the body, but I can't know why. I didn't dare to touch the body of the blind man again, so I had to wait until I found someone who understood.
I breathed a sigh of relief, slapped the dust off my hands, and walked towards the gate, ready to get out of here.
It was Sun Blind who was making a fool of himself just now, so he let the temple door close.
But when I went to push the door, I found that the door still couldn't be opened, and no matter how hard I tried, it didn't move.
In a hurry, I shouted, "Is there anyone outside?" Someone's opening the door! ”
"Humph! Chen Ping'an, don't shout, I closed the door. ”
A loud and majestic voice resounded in the temple.
I trembled and looked back, and found that the stone statue of the river god standing in the center had come to life, leaning over my head and staring at me.
"Finally, when you come to my river temple, today I will judge you and order your soldiers!"
