Chapter 497: Ancient Fu
If the bronze corpses are allowed to come in, the bronze corpses will bite people regardless of the people, and the officers and soldiers will bite people when they see them, and this place will become a corpse city...
This time, he didn't even care about the reputation of the imperial court!
No, not really...
If he really allowed these bronze corpses to hurt the innocent people, with his approach, he would definitely say that these people died at the hands of the Wuhua army, not at the hands of the bronze corpses sent by the Dongli Imperial Court!
Even if there were people who had survived the death of witnesses to testify afterwards, he would not have survived their mouths, and there would be no proof of death when the time came...
No, it's not right, she's still thinking about it! We have to find a way to clean up these bronze corpses and find a way to break out of the encirclement!
Anyway, definitely try again... Chi Jing instructed the little soldier: "Listen, now go find General Niu and let General Niu take someone to take it!" Also, help me pass a message to General Chu and ask him to go out and bring a bronze corpse to me... Let him be careful! ”
"With... Bring... Bring a..."The little soldier was so frightened that his feet were weak, and he remembered General Chu, the thinnest and weakest of the generals, who was not good at fighting and only good at escaping... Let General Chu go and bring a bronze corpse back?
"Don't waste time, go! Just say what I want! Chi Jing pushed him and said, not worrying at all about whether the Chu family could do it.
"Yes!" The creep quickly came to his senses and ran away.
Chi Jing added another sentence uneasily: "Let General Chu send the bronze corpse to the Xiangyun Inn!" ”
There is no need to camp in the city, everyone lives in the Xiangyun Inn - the Xiangyun Inn is also the property of the Murong family, it seems that in order to facilitate their actions, the people of the Murong family have already withdrawn from the city, and it is called to avoid disaster.
"Clean?" At this time, he left to look for her, and heard what she told the soldiers to do.
"I'm going to try again, wild cranes are horses, they're people, it's different, I want to try again..."Chi Jing said, his tone was a little anxious.
"Coming in?" Will leave the frown.
"Well, be sure to stop... Hey, brother, what are you holding in your hand? Only then did she see the yellow paper in her hand, snatched it and sniffed it, "This is..."
This tastes... This tastes...
This taste is... Chi Jing's eyes lit up, "Boy pee!" ”
"Not mine!" Jiang Li hurriedly said, the roots of his ears were red in an instant, and then he looked down and saw the yellow in her hand, and quickly snatched it over, "This is, there is a seven or eight-year-old boy passing by..."
"I didn't say it was yours... Senior brother, don't you know..."The younger the boy, the better it is, the master has taught this. What's more, the city has not yet been attacked by copper corpses, and it is not surprising that there are children. Big Brother is in... Embarrassment what?
He, or is he a place?
"Let's go, go back to the inn and wait." Jiang Li realized that he had overreacted, and turned around and walked back while avoiding her gaze.
"Oh." Looking at his somewhat hurried steps, I don't know why, Fang Cai's restless heart is still half settled. Things hadn't come up with a solution yet, but she suddenly had a lot of confidence.
Is it because of the child's urine, or is it because of the man in front of her who is silently helping her figure it out behind her back?
"Senior brother, you just said a lot of things. Is it shy? ”
"..."I'm going to go faster.
...
The Chu family has been doing the work of dealing with the dead.
Over the years, he has robbed about twenty or thirty tombs, and if he talks about such a bronze corpse, he has indeed never encountered it. But once he found a big bucket that was some years old, opened the red coffin that had been locked with many thick chains, and touched the face of the hairy corpse in the coffin...
He truly believed that the things he overheard other coffin bearers talking about the corpse were real.
That time, he didn't dare to take anything, and fled from the bucket in a hurry, of course, there was nothing in the coffin except for something that once looked like glutinous rice.
The next day he was sick with fright, and he was so sick that he had a dream. Someone in the dream told him that he must overcome his fears, don't be afraid of these dumplings in the bucket, one day, these skills can make him soar.
After waking up, he began to secretly learn the line of inverted fighting.
He didn't dare not learn. The man who gave him the dream always had a very strong feeling, like the thing in the red coffin that he had touched. When he finished, the thing reappeared in his dream, and he was given a task: to pour the bucket again.
Are you kidding!
The Chu family woke up trembling from that dream, and the voice of that thing still echoed in his ears: Come, only by doing it again, can you truly overcome the fear in your heart.
Of course he wasn't happy.
Although he is doing this unseemly deed, he has always had a fear of ghosts and gods, if it is not forced by life, who is willing to wander between yin and yang all day long? I didn't know that the guy in the bucket was forgotten, but now I know, and I know that the guy has been entangled with him, and if he still deliberately comes to the door, then he will be stupid.
So he chose to turn a blind eye to the words of that thing in his dreams.
Unexpectedly, something strange began to grow on his hands...
...
It was his right hand, and he had touched the face of the thing with his right hand.
One day he woke up to find that the knuckles of his entire right hand were swollen and painful, and there was something like mold growing on them, which he looked close to see was a layer of fine blue hairs.
He was startled and hurriedly went outside to see a doctor.
The doctor said that this was a paralysis, that is, gout, which is usually only suffered from by wealthy families. He remembered that the doctor looked at his patched clothes with some confusion...
He pointed to the thin layer of blue hairs on his palms and asked the doctor, do people with gout have such symptoms?
But the doctor squinted his eyes for a long time, and was stunned that he didn't see any fine hairs on his palms. In the end, the doctor prescribed him medicine, and he couldn't help even after taking it for several days, and his hand was getting more and more painful. At this time, the guy in the dream reappeared.
Or that thing, let him go and pour his bucket again.
He also said that if he didn't go, the things on his palms would slowly make his whole hand slowly waste, and he would never be able to lift anything again.
How can this be!
Although the coffin bearer does not earn much, it is already quite considerable compared to farming. Not to mention that he still has the children in the compound to take care of... If his hands are useless, how can he carry the coffin?
That's it, sticking out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife! The Chu family went to the street and asked for a few taels of soju and drank it in one go, and when they were bold, they touched the bucket again...
...
Coming back to their senses from the memories of that terrifying experience, the Chu family looked from the top of the city at the crowd of people below - no, are those people? Even if they can walk and move, are dead people human?
The Chu family took out a talisman that looked old from his arms and took a deep breath.
That night, when he returned to the bucket that the dreamer had told him to go back to, groping for the contents of the red coffin in the dark, a gust of wind blew, and the devil blew away a piece of yellow paper on the face of the thing...
After a vicious fight, he walked out of the bucket covered in blood when the rooster crowed, and he held this ancient talisman tightly in his hand.
That night, the man in the dream came again. It turned out that the man in the dream was not the person in the coffin, but a Taoist who sealed the person in the coffin into the coffin. Fearing that one day the corpse in the coffin would turn into a zombie would be a disaster to the world, so before they died, they wrote a talisman in their own blood and ordered someone to stick it on the forehead of the ancient corpse to keep it peaceful for several years.
And the hairy thing had been burned by him, and since that day, he has not had hair on his hands again. That talisman was regarded by him as a lucky charm, and no matter where he went, he would carry it close to him as a peace of mind.
"Dao Chief, bless me." He pinched the talisman in the palm of his hand, gritted his teeth, and ordered someone to tie a rope around him, and then slowly hang himself down.
The Chu family looked at the bronze corpses below who only knew how to blindly hit the wall and smiled bitterly, he felt like a bait, but what was waiting for him below was a group of ferocious and bloodthirsty dragons.
These painless creatures have just smashed a hole in the wall and are about to rush in, turning the people of this city into monsters like them. Fortunately, why bother sent someone in advance to pull the two big stone lions in front of a large family in the city to resist, and Niu Kelian hurried over to help...
Yes, things have reached an urgent juncture, so the girl will think about grabbing one and going back to study it to see if there are any other flaws in these invulnerable things, right? If the girl trusted him, how could he let her down?
"Put! Hurry up! Suddenly, he shouted to the soldiers above him, feeling his body descend faster than he had just been. Soon, soon, his feet were almost on the reach of the head of the bronze corpse below...
These stupid guys have stiff necks and can't even look up until they hear the whistle... When the Chu family was secretly happy in their hearts, they heard the sound of the flute that had been stopped for a long time in the distance sounded again, "Empty your uncle!" ”
He couldn't help but curse. is also a Taoist chief, how can this kind of neuropathy be so different from the righteous Taoist in his dream?
...
"Coming, girl, I've got the bronze corpse!" The Chu family carried a bronze corpse that couldn't move as if it had been clicked on by someone, and ran straight to the Xiangyun Inn in one breath, shouting and going straight to the Chi Jing room.
As soon as he heard that he was carrying a bronze corpse on his shoulder, no one shy away from him wherever he went.
However, he didn't care about the strange eyes of others, and there was even a faint hint of excitement and pride in his expression. He did it, and he managed to capture a bronze corpse!
"Really? Chu family, thank you for your hard work! Hearing this, Chi Jing raised his head from the several talismans on the table and looked happily at the Chu family. She knew that the Chu family must be good, she didn't see the wrong person! But...
"Hey, what's going on, you clicked on its hole?"
"No, these guys have thick skin and thick flesh, like a stone, how can there be a hole to point." The Chu family smiled a little embarrassedly, the premise of the acupoint is that the blood veins of the people who are pointed out can still flow away, and the blood of these guys has long been coagulated.
"Then why didn't he move?" Chi Jing was a little curious, but quickly put that thought aside, now is not the time to be curious about this! She was anxious to try out the effect of the talisman she had just drawn.
"Don't worry about it for now, we'll talk later. Chu family, bring it over here and unlock his acupuncture points, we have to try which talisman works. ”
Want to try? Then put this guy back to "normal". The Chu family thought about it and took away the talisman attached to the bronze corpse. Almost immediately, the bronze corpse opened its gray eyes and rushed towards the person in front of him desperately.
Chi Jing and the dozens of talismans that Jiang Li had prepared a long time ago greeted the bronze corpse respectively.
"This talisman is useless..."Chi Jing was furious, and slapped another talisman on the bronze corpse.
"..."Jiang Li dodged the attack of the bronze corpse while paying attention to protecting Chi Jing, and reluctantly threw away another talisman.
Charms are one of the ways to deal with corpse transformation, but the dozens of talismans that the two of them have just drawn, and none of them are useful?
"Can't you really treat them like droughts?" Chi Jing dodged, helplessly.
...
Dryfish? The Chu family, who was quietly watching the changes, heard the words and remembered the ancient legend.
Because he made up his mind to get in touch with these strange and chaotic things, he really put in a lot of hard work, including spending two dollars every day to listen to the storytelling in the teahouse.
There is a famous teahouse in Beixian County, and there is a storyteller in the teahouse who likes to tell stories about this kind of gods and ghosts.
He once said that in ancient times, in the famous battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor sent Ying Long, who was good at storing water, and Tiannu Lu, who could dispel wind and rain, to participate in the battle, and finally succeeded in capturing Chi You in one fell swoop.
However, Ying Long and the Heavenly Maiden were seriously injured and never had the strength to return to Heaven. Ying Long went to the south and lived in the mountains to recuperate, and since then the southern climate has been humid and rainy. And the Heavenly Maiden stayed in the north, scorching gold and flowing stones everywhere it went, and the river fell into the sea and dried up.
Later, the Celestial Maiden stayed in the world for a long time, and if it did not rain, human farming would not be harvested, and human beings gradually became displeased with this Celestial Maiden.
She had to stay away from the crowd, hiding and hoping that one day the Yellow Emperor would remember her and take her back to Heaven.
Slowly, day after day, year after year, no one remembered that this celestial girl had been the hero of the earth-shattering war of ghosts and gods, and some people even began to doubt the identity of this woman in Tsing Yi, thinking that she was not the legendary god, but a monster from nowhere.
Lu was badly wounded in that battle, and his skin almost festered all over his body, very similar to a corpse that had been dead for less than a hundred days but did not decompose.
People began to expel her, calling her "Drought Fish". After expelling the "drought fish", it finally rained for the first time in a long time.
Since then, in any drought year, as long as people find which newly buried corpses do not decay, they will call these corpses "drought fish" and burn them for rain. Over time, the "drought" is also known as a zombie.
So the "drought" in the girl's mouth now is the "drought" he understands, right?
The Chu family suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at the yellow talisman in his hand, only to see that on the extremely complex talisman with the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, there was a vague word "ghost", and the word on the right side of the word "ghost" was even more blurred.
Just now, he relied on this talisman to get out.
The bronze corpses, commanded by the sound of the flute, looked up stiffly as their feet hung an inch above their heads. In a hurry, he put the talisman on the shoulder of one of the bronze corpses, and when he saw that he was no longer moving, he grabbed the bronze corpse and desperately called for someone to pull him up.
Fortunately, these bronze corpses were only as stiff as stone on the outside, but their weight was no different from that of a normal person, so he could get out without danger. I want to talk about "Chi Jing" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
