Chapter 396: Corpse Transformation
"Impossible, right?" Zhang Qiang and I exclaimed at the same time, and before Azangi could finish speaking, we had already rushed to the edge of the window and lowered our eyes to look at the altar.
Sure enough, the cow was gone.
My back was a little cold, and I looked back at Zhang Qiang and said, "That cow's life is really hard......"
"Impossible!" Zhang Qiang glared back at me with a very ugly face, shook his head and said, "I stood for a long time just now, and the cow was indeed hacked to death, how could a dead cow move, it's really strange." ”
I said, "Is it possible that it was suspended animation?" At that time, I just studied abroad too much and fainted? ”
"There is no such possibility." "Don't you see, the cow's spine has been cut off, and the cow's body structure is the same as that of most animals, even if it is suspended animation, it will not be able to stand up on its own when it wakes up." ”
I shuddered for a moment and said, "Then there is only one explanation, the cow is a corpse?" ”
Even I felt ridiculous to say this, but Azanji nodded very seriously, saying that this was indeed the only possibility.
Zhang Qiang's eyebrows twitched, and he said with a strong smile, "I didn't expect you to be so good at joking, I've only heard of someone cheating corpses, but I've never heard of cows cheating corpses." ”
"If you go out and see, won't you know everything?" Azanji's eyes flickered slightly in the night, "There seems to be a problem with this village, I had this feeling when I first came, but I don't know what the problem is, and now the cow is also cheating the corpse, which shows that this place is not simple." ”
Zhang Qiang shouted, "What can be the problem with such a small-scale Miao Village?" Azangi shook his head, looked at me, and asked me what I thought.
I pondered for a second, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you out and have a look!" Zhang Qiang immediately said, "It's up to you to go out and see by yourself, I'm sleepy and want to sleep." ”
This old boy was obviously scared but didn't dare to say it clearly, I understood Zhang Qiang's character, I didn't say anything, I accompanied Azanji out of the room, and not long after I stepped out of the door, there was a sharp cat meow in my ears, which shocked my cold hair.
Azangi touched my arm, pointed his finger forward and said, "Look over there!" ”
I looked up sharply, and soon saw an old cat that had always been black under the bloody altar, and that cat was fat, covered with black fur of oily water, and fat like a calf, lying on the outside of the altar, sticking out its little pink tongue, licking the blood on the ground in small mouthfuls.
When my gaze was cast, the black cat seemed to have spotted us, and with a sudden swoop jumped into the wooden board where the corpse was kept, and hid itself, and under the bloody wooden plank, there was only a pair of amber eyes, very sharp.
My cold hair exploded, and I whispered, "Whose cat doesn't know that this situation has to avoid the deceased?" Azanji told me in a deep voice that the Miao people rarely raise cats, because of different beliefs, many Han people will treat cats as pets, but the Miao people will not, especially this kind of black cat, in the eyes of the Miao people, the black cat is a ghost, will bring ominous to the village.
I sweated and said, "Nobody has a cat, this cat is wild?" ”
Azanji shook his head, "I don't know, I just know that when I walked into the village in the afternoon, I didn't see any livestock, this cat appeared out of thin air, and there is a folk legend that once a black cat touches a corpse, it may ......"
"Corpse!" This term popped into my head.
"Not bad!" Azanji nodded and said, "This is the speech of the Han people, I don't know if it will work on the Miao people?" ”
I almost laughed, when is this Azanji is still in the mood to play cold humor, whether it is Han or Miao, even if the beliefs are different, they are essentially the same, if the legend of the black cat deceiving the corpse is true, it will naturally be reflected in the Miao people.
I said, "Although this village has such a bloody ritual, they are not bad in nature, let's help them, at least get rid of the black cat, and don't let the old lady cheat the corpse here." ”
Azanji agreed, and I gently followed him to the altar, and Azanji stopped less than fifteen meters from the altar, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at the bottom of the plank.
The stones shot straight at the black cat.
Hearing only a "bang", the black cat turned around quickly and even, and actually dodged it!
The stone smashed directly on the board, bounced and flew up, and landed on the corpse, Azanji looked a little embarrassed, and whispered, "I missed." "I said it's fine, as long as it scares the black cat away.
I thought that these movements were enough to scare the black cat away, but who knew that the black cat was not afraid of people at all, and after dodging the stones, he actually turned his cold eyes, squatted down and continued to stare at us, making a hoarse cat meow, which was very harsh.
I was taken aback by this movement, and I always felt that there seemed to be a light in the black cat's eyes, and I felt very uncomfortable.
The black cat simply jumped onto the board, arching its back, its paws scratching at the board. I turned pale and whispered, "No, you can't let this beast get near the corpse, stop it!" ”
Azangi reacted faster than I did, and as soon as I finished speaking, he had already jumped out, throwing a second stone in his hand, which hit the black cat on the back. The black cat was in pain, and made a sharp "meow", and his voice was so hoarse that it was like pulling a chainsaw, and I was trembling, at this time Azanji had already rushed to the altar, and was about to pull the black cat down, but his fingers were about to touch the black cat's body, but his whole person trembled, and instinctively jumped off the altar, and jumped to my side.
The black cat raised its cold eyes, glanced at us coldly, twisted its fat body, and ran away without a trace, I saw that Azanji's expression was wrong, and quickly said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Azanji stiffly pointed to the old lady's body, "She just opened her eyes!" ”
"Huh?" I shuddered with fright, instinctively regressed, and when I thought about it, I felt that this reaction was too unproductive, and sneered, "What is there to be afraid of when the corpse opens its eyes." ”
Azanji looked back at me, "You're not afraid?" ”
I stared at him in the hair, and said stubbornly, "I've seen so many corpses, of course I'm not afraid." ”
He just wanted to see the altar, "Say you can go up and take a look." ”
I had to grit my teeth and cross my heart, and I went hard, I didn't feel anything when I just walked on the altar, but the smell of blood all over the ground made my brain a little confused, and it was okay to get used to it, but when I walked to the altar and looked at the old lady's bones, the next second I also showed the same nervous expression as Azanji.
The old lady not only turned her eyes outward, but even her mouth was open, her lower upper lip was separated to the extreme, and her mouth was wide enough to fit a fist, which was particularly hideous, her teeth were yellow and incomplete, and the few yellow teeth that were left were as sharp as a cat's claws, and what was even more terrifying was her eyes.
This old lady actually has a pair of amber eyes, and the eyes are vertical, almost no different from the eyes of the black cat just now!
And her chin suddenly became very pointed, and there was actually a layer of pale black fluff on her face, which was completely a cat face!
