21. The Corpse King
Wooden pillars in the hallway were covered with parcels, each containing the corpse of a child bundled together. At first, we guessed that this was a funeral custom practiced in Guangxi, but then Feijing's face changed drastically, and he said two ominous-sounding fonts - conjuring!
Feijing said these two words with an ugly face, which added a bit of horror to the atmosphere in the corridor in this dark environment.
"What is the Conjuring?" I asked him.
Feijing waved his hand and said as he walked: "Spiritualism is a method of soul attraction after death, and its purpose is to keep people's souls trapped in their bodies forever and never be able to survive. It's a very nefarious method, and although I know the exact steps, I know that there is a very obvious feature of the conjuring. It is to hang the body of the deceased on a high place. After a pause, he continued: "At first I had a preconceived idea that it was a hanging burial, but now it seems to be wrong, it is probably a means of conjuring spirits in ancient times. ”。
Feijing was in a hurry, and he didn't look back to say these words to us.
The beard was behind me, and he was a little panting, and he yelled to slow down, and then asked Feijing: Can the conjuring really attract the souls of the dead?
Feijing spat and snorted, "Shit." People die like lights out, and even if they leave a breath of resentment, it is not easy to become a ghost. This method is to hang the breath of the deceased, so that the deceased becomes a state of neither human nor ghost, neither dead nor alive. ”。
As soon as I heard this, my scalp immediately went numb, and my mouth stammered, and I asked Feijing, "You mean these corpses are still alive?" ”。
There was a bend ahead, and the corridor was almost at the end. Feijing didn't bother to answer my question, and took a step through the bend first.
When we followed, we saw that there was an upward staircase, but strangely there was a person standing at the front of the staircase.
The height of the man was just over one meter and two, wearing a red belly pocket, a pair of bare feet, snow-white skin, and the strangest thing was that he had long hair.
It was clear from the way he dressed that this was a child, but only the long inky hair was terrifying.
When we saw the scene in front of us, our scalp was tingling with fear, and we were still in the mood to ask Feijing.
The red-clothed child stood straight at the entrance of the stone steps, his long hair covering his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was the back or the front. But his appearance, no matter which side, has a great visual horror effect on people.
I swallowed and asked softly what should I do now? Just bypass?
Feijing was also frightened, and he suddenly held his footsteps, and he didn't dare to act rashly for a while. He said to me, "You are right, the children here are indeed living corpses. We can handle one or two, but looking at the size and number of corridors, we are afraid that we will be planted. Feijing finished speaking nervously clenching the dagger in his hand.
I was so impressed by his nervousness that my heart jumped wildly. Looking around, I could see that several people around me also had ugly faces, even the dragon's teeth, and their faces were serious at this time.
I gritted my teeth and said to the flying mirror, "Hero, what is this thing in front of you?" "Even if these children can be resurrected, it will only be one, and we don't have to be afraid.
Hearing what I said, Feijing's face fell, and he said heavily, "This one is even more difficult to serve than all of them are resurrected, this is the corpse king, and all the spiritual power in the corpses in the corridor outside has been absorbed by him." Everyone, don't move, something is wrong. ”。
Feijing's words didn't seem like a joke, but we were only a few meters away from the corpse king in his mouth, and the red-clothed child was motionless like a wood carving, and it looked just scary. Will they jump up and bite us?
Not to bite you, but to kill you. Feijing said angrily on the side.
"Then why didn't he move?" Ali asked in a whisper behind her.
This situation can only be solved by Feijing, who is a professional after all. The title of Ghost Hunter Taoist is not called in vain, so it is normal for Ali to ask him questions.
Feijing frowned and said, "I don't know, this thing has intelligence." Maybe it's because many of us don't dare to act rashly. I've never met such a powerful character, so be careful, this thing's claws are highly poisonous, and you must not let it touch your body. ”。
When Feijing said this, I noticed that the two chubby little hands of the red-clothed child had terrifying cyan fingernails, which were even as long as his own fingers.
The Corpse King's head is covered by long hair, and no matter how much we use a flashlight to shine on him, we can't see what he looks like. It is precisely because of this that it is even more mysterious and terrifying.
Having said that, didn't they encounter this thing in front of Qi Yuying?
We stood on the empty hall in front of the stone stairs, and the corpse king in Feijing's mouth stared at the affectionate veins, Feijing didn't dare to move, and we didn't dare to move behind us. The atmosphere is very eerie.
Hu Zi scolded and asked Feijing, "Why don't we go back now." There's no way to go on like this. You can't ......".
Feijing said in a false voice: "Don't make a sound, do you listen to him talking?" ”。
Before the beard could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a flying mirror. We all looked intently at the red-clothed corpse in front of us, and listened attentively.
It was a sparse sound, like a person's dream, like an irregular syllable that only came out of the throat, it sounded very vague, but it was terrifying in this environment.
Suddenly, the flying mirror in front of him shook, and said softly: "It's not like I heard that syllable similar to the Morse code at 131." He said this to the beard and the dragon's teeth.
I mentioned in the necromantic file that Yang Xiaoqi sent him a video before going to 131, and the video had that simple sound, which Yang Xiaoqi speculated was a distress signal similar to the Morse code.
The beard nodded and lowered his voice and said that it was really like, damn, how could there be such a thing here.
Could it be that this is a kind of code, a kind of code between people and ghosts? Feijing muttered to himself. Ask us who can ventriloquist and be able to pronounce the same syllables as this.
We didn't understand Feijing's thoughts at all, and we didn't know why he was asking. Feijing explained that the door to 131 was only opened at the sound of this voice, so he speculated that it must be some kind of code or something. It was just his guess, but he thought he should try.
I admired myself very much that I still had the heart to joke at this time, and scolded: "It's not a gate in front, you look carefully." At this point, it wasn't a good idea for us to make a sound, but I think Beard was right, so let's go back and see. ”。
I think this is the safest way, but Feijing disagrees. He looked at me and said, "You can move here and see how this kid in red reacts." ”。
Even if I borrowed ten guts, I wouldn't dare to try what Feijing said. But the beard is different, he has long been unable to stand, at this time, listening to Feijing say this, he couldn't wait to adjust his standing posture, the range of movement is not large at all, but it makes us break out in a cold sweat.
Because as his movements began, the head of the red-clothed child tilted slightly, as if he was very confused about something.
We couldn't see the corpse king's expression because of the hair, but this small movement already made our scalps go crazy.
Hu Zi was so frightened that he shrank his neck even more, he thought that he was not Feijing's opponent, and Feijing was willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head at this time, and he had no reason to find this death.
"You know, my master once told me that when you encounter a corpse king, don't move, a little bigger action is a vicious battle." Feijing said.
The corpse king still uttered strange syllables that seemed to be out of nowhere, and this time we listened very carefully. It seems to be a warning to us.
Feijing asked us softly, "Which of you can pronounce this syllable?" ”。
Until now, Feijing still thinks that this syllable is a signal of communication, as if he thinks that as long as we make this sound, the corpse king in front of him will take the initiative to give way.
It's whimsical. But it's a solution. It's not reliable, though.
After Feijing finished speaking, Dragon Tooth asked him softly, "Are you sure this voice won't be a code for declaring war?" ”。
Feijing glanced at him and nodded heavily.
This is what the dragon tooth was waiting for, only to see him take a deep breath, then close his mouth, and start to make an irregular sound in his throat.
We all leaked incredible expressions, but we didn't expect Dragon's Tooth to be a versatile killer. Listen carefully to the sound he made was almost the same as the one made by the corpse king in front of him, and even the volume was extremely similar.
The moment the sound of the dragon's teeth came out, the corpse king stopped suddenly, and the scene was silent. The atmosphere is starting to look wrong.
Suddenly, I only felt a flash of red light in front of me, and the red-clothed corpse king had already jumped up. At the same time, the gun in the dragon's tooth hand rang out.
The deafening sound of gunfire made my ears buzz and I couldn't hear anything for a while. There is only one sentence left in my head - Feijing is stupid X.
Although the ears cannot hear, the eyes can see clearly. Feijing rushed to the back of the corpse king for the first time, and then raised the knife in his hand, and his movements were clean and neat, without dragging the mud and water. But what is unexpected is that this move is killed, and it only makes the corpse king's hair fall out somewhat.
I was dumbfounded, and by this time my ears had already responded to it. Feijing kicked the corpse king to the base of the wall with one side leg, only to hear him shout at us to run, this thing can't be killed.
Although the short confrontation seemed to have the upper hand on the Flying Mirror, it did not cause any substantial damage to the Corpse King, which was also reasonable, the spear of the Dragon Tooth did not leave a hole in the corpse, not to mention the attack of the Flying Mirror. It's not that the attack power of the flying scope is not strong, but even if the flying scope is powerful, it should not be as powerful as the bullet. What's more, Feijing is just a dagger in his hand, and the lethality caused is even less.
Hu Zi didn't hesitate to pull me and Ali and ran to the back, leaving only Feijing and Dragon Tooth to break the back for us.
It was only after running a few hundred meters in the corridor that I turned around and saw that the Flying Mirror and the Dragon's Tooth were not far behind me. Behind them it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. Feijing stopped when he saw us and scolded: "Hurry up, he is catching up."
My head buzzed, and the flying mirror and dragon teeth didn't stop the thing. The dark passage is not good, gritted his teeth and ran forward.
It didn't take long to run, and a few bright lights appeared in front of me, I knew that it was the light of a flashlight, but now I can't think much about it, even if they meet Qi Yuying, they will admit it, it is better than being bitten to death by the corpse king.
We quickened our pace, and by this time I realized that we had already gone out of the corridor, and in front of it was a ring corridor, and in the middle there was a large empty hall, I don't know what it was. A flashbang hit the empty place above the empty hall and exploded on the roof of the palace, and at the same time I saw that the people in front of me were indeed Qi Yuying and them.
and Yang Xiaoqi, who was tied with his hands behind his back, did not see the figure of the Tibetan mastiff girl. Yang Xiaoqi was still laughing in the team, and shouted at us: "Feijing, you are still so fucking stylish, you can provoke such an ancestor." ”。
