Chapter 8 The Yellow Spring
Boss Taiyi personally handled it, and Zhao Zhifeng assisted from the side. The two of them, one left and one right, took turns to slap the hadron, and we only heard the "snapping" sound, and then watched the two sides of the hadron's face slowly swell.
However, even so, this strong son still did not wake up. And the village chief, slightly suspicious and distrustful, kept staring at me.
I was stared at embarrassed, in fact, I guessed blindly, and I didn't know how to wake up someone who was hooked by a ghost soldier.
But under the pressure of the village chief's eyes, I laughed a few times awkwardly: "It must be that the strength is not enough, and the pain is not deep enough." Let me try! ”
With that, I stood up, stretched out my fist, and arched my index finger out in a shuddering gesture. After taking a breath, he aimed his eyes at the front of Hadron's head, jumped up, and slammed it hard.
"Boom!" With a dull sound, my hands suddenly became sore, and tears of pain flowed out. The strong son was even more knocked by me, and smashed his head to the ground, which frightened Boss Taiyi and Zhao Zhifeng and quickly pulled him up.
"Oops! What is this for? It hurts! The strong son who was pulled up suddenly covered his head with his hands, tears rolled in his eyes, and his mouth muttered.
"Hadron! You're back? Thank goodness! ”
The village chief was quite excited, and as soon as he grabbed the strong son, there were almost no old tears.
"You've said it's going to be fine, right? Okay, the people are awake, let's continue to chase. Don't forget, there's also an old Liu. Although this ghost soldier can wake people up, they don't know after a long time. Brainwaves are said to be part of the spiritual magnetism, and if that is assimilated by the magnetic field of the ghost soldier, that person will be useless. I looked in the direction of the ghost soldier and said.
The village chief was very excited, and after passing this matter, it seemed that his confidence in us was also sufficient. He took the strong man and stood up, and then said to me, "Thank you, young man!" Lao Liu's matter, please also entrust you! The method you taught is very effective, and I believe that Lao Liu will definitely be woken up! ”
"That's right! Lao Li Tou should also be able to pull it back! Qiangzi covered his face, and this time he was also in good spirits.
"Old Li Tou?" I was stunned, so I ran out of an old Li head again? "Someone who was hooked by the ghost soldiers?"
"That's right! In the past two or three years, three people in our village have been hooked, two of them have died, and Lao Li Tou is still boiling, but he just has no soul. The orphans and widows of their family are really pitiful. But now that we know how to wake up the person whose soul was seduced by the ghost soldiers, we can try to wake up Lao Li Tou when we go back! And in the future, when we encounter ghost soldiers, we also know how to do it. The village chief said excitedly.
I am also quite emotional, although these villagers, although they know that the Yin soldiers are extremely harmful, but they don't know how to avoid or treat, no, or should I say that they don't dare to treat them, so they can only watch their companions become demented.
What kind of old Li Tou, as soon as I heard it, I knew that it was not the person who had been a ghost soldier recently, whether he could wake him up, it was really hard to say. Of course, I didn't say anything more, I had already said this just now, and I don't know if they listened to it or not. If I'm saying it once now, it's a blow to their enthusiasm and confidence.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk as you go, those ghost soldiers won't be able to see it. Without them to lead the way, how can we find hell? Boss Taiyi has been paying attention to the column of ghost soldiers, and at this time, seeing that there is a white spot left in the queue of ghost soldiers, he can't help but shout.
"Don't be afraid! We know where hell is. Although it is said that the underworld is in that mountain, the mountain is very large, and it is indeed difficult to find the underworld without a guide. However, we know the location of hell. Not only us, but also a few people in our village know about it. The village chief told us calmly.
We were all stunned, and we couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of ghost soldiers and hell?" How is it possible to know the location of hell? ”
In short, I mean to ask, since you are afraid of those, how can you still be there, and actually know the route?
The village chief sighed and did not answer immediately. Qiangzi, looking at the bare stone mountain, said: "More than ten years ago, there was a ghost soldier passage in the village. That time, six people from our village were taken away, and the village chief at that time, that is, Mr. Li, was also taken away. This was a big event, and all the people in the village chased after it, but in the end, there were only seven people. In fact, we didn't expect that it was hell at all, but we only knew that there was a temple there, and we found six people in the temple to take away. However, three of the six people have died, and the remaining three have no souls, and they can't wake up no matter how they scream. ”
After a pause, Hadron suddenly turned a little pale, became a little agitated, and seemed to be a little frightened. But he continued: "We were going to go back with them on our backs, but before we could leave the temple gate, the Bodhisattva who was offered in the temple suddenly opened his mouth wide and sucked at us. There are seven of us! Together, they couldn't stop this suck, so they sucked away the old man Li who was carrying him right away. Old Man Li was eaten by the Bodhisattva and blocked the Bodhisattva's mouth, so that we could get out of that temple. ”
"After we came out, we found that the outside of the temple was full of ghost soldiers, and a group of people walked sideways, surrounding us in front of the temple gate. We were so frightened that we all knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging the ghost soldier to let us go. However, we may have disturbed the meditation of the Bodhisattvas in the temple. The Bodhisattva suddenly called out from inside, and then all the ghost soldiers pounced......"
Speaking of this, Hadron's voice weakened, as if the past had become something he didn't want to recall.
"The seven of us went to the underworld, and only five people came back, me, Qiangzi, Lao Liu, and two people in the village, the others, and the six people who were taken away before, none of them came back. The five of us were able to escape after leaving the people who were hooked away, and the two of us were not left behind, so we were taken away together. If we had known that the person who had been snatched away could be woken up, then we would have been able to escape. The village chief took Qiangzi's words and continued.
It doesn't matter what he says anymore, we are completely shocked by the place where the hell is located, and the place where the hell is actually a temple, and the bodhisattvas in the temple can actually eat people...... What could be more bizarre than that?
The next road was led by the village chief and Qiangzi, and although the route was not straight, it was always in the direction of hell.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, we touched the bottom of the hill of the train tunnel, and when we looked down, we could see the tunnel.
"Lao Chen, look there!" When we saw the mountain, all eight of us couldn't help but look at the mouth of the tunnel again. But suddenly, Boss Taiyi called out to me.
I looked in the direction he pointed out, and I saw that when the train was blocked before, a group of Yin soldiers took the same place to pass by, and another Yin soldier took the road to pass by. And this time, the Yin soldiers were all active under the starlight, and they were not obscured by the fog. And we stood on the high ground and watched them march forward in vain.
"That's hell over there, right?" Looking in the direction where the Yin soldiers went, I asked.
"Yes, go around the mountain, behind the mountain. There, there was an old village, but now there is no one. That temple, which may have been the temple that used to be dedicated in the village, was on the hillside behind the village. The village chief pointed to the straight direction where the Yin soldiers were going and said.
I nodded slightly, and then said, "Let's go, let's go." ”
After saying that, Boss Taiyi had already jumped to the bottom of the high ground and went straight to the tunnel. However, the village chief shouted: "Wrong, wrong, you can't go there, there's a big river over there, you can't cross it!" ”
With this call, Boss Taiyi was immediately depressed. He wasn't a ghost soldier, he could float over, and he had to climb back again.
The village chief took us up the top of the tunnel, over the mountain peak above the tunnel. Although it has collapsed, it is still spacious to walk.
And we also saw the river that the village chief said, it was a curved flow, not a big mountain spring river. Under the starlight, the river looked as black as ink, and the slightest cold air rose on the surface of the river with white smoke.
"What kind of river is this?" The appearance of this river is really a little weird, although we don't have to cross the river, but just passing by, we also feel that the cold is pressing. Boss Taiyi couldn't help it, so he asked.
"We call this river Yellow Spring, and there is a bridge over there, we call it ......"
"What a bridge?" Yu Qian took a step ahead of the village chief and said a noun.
"Yes, it's Nai He Bridge!" The village chief actually agreed with the term. When he said the word for sure, we all looked at each other for a moment.
Yellow spring water, Nai He Bridge...... Do you really think of hell as the legendary underworld? Do you want to plant a ghost soldier on the Nai He Bridge to act as Meng Po?
"Look!" Just when a few of us were surprised, Qiangzi suddenly pointed to the yellow spring water and shouted.
We hurriedly turned our heads to look at the river, and saw that along the river, there were several scattered ghost soldiers in white clothes covering their bodies and covering their heads with white scarves. These ghost soldiers are not as well-behaved and quiet as those ghost soldiers who borrowed the way, they actually opened their teeth and claws, twisted their bodies, and looked very painful.
Half of the body is underwater, blistering, half of the body is struggling, this picture is like a real scene, like a real thing, we are dumbfounded.
The ghost soldiers in the yellow spring water floated away in just a few moments, and it seemed that the water was very turbulent. After those ghost soldiers were washed away, the village chief opened his mouth to speak: "That's why we call it Huangquan!" ”
At this time, a few of us also nodded silently.
But at this time, we also walked to the so-called Nai He Bridge. This bridge is actually higher than the same level, and we are actually looking up when we look at it.
It was an old stone arch bridge, very dilapidated and so worn, that at a glance it seemed that you could guess its history, let alone more than three hundred years old.
The arch bridge arches so high that you can't see the other end. And when we stood on this side, the village chief and the strong son actually didn't leave. They didn't go, we left, but before I stepped onto the bridge, the village chief grabbed me.
"Over there, young man, there's an old ghost over there. When we passed by more than ten years ago, we were almost scared to death, and it would suddenly pounce on you and ......"
"And hook me?" I finished his sentence and said. Am I likely to believe this?
I let go of his hand and continued to walk on the bridge, and the boss Taiyi and the others followed one by one.
When I reached the top of the arch bridge, I glanced to the other end, and at this glance, I immediately saw the old ghost that the village chief had said. The old ghost was indeed an old white shadow ghost, although he was dressed in white, he actually did not have a white towel to cover his face, revealing a numb and expressionless pale face like a century.
The hair was loose and equally pale. The wrinkles on our faces, the absence of eyebrows and eyelashes, and the absence of beards, are similar to the four of us.
However, we were amazed by his mouth, which was as red as blood, as if it had only bitten a living person and was stained with blood.
At first glance, it is terrifying!
