Chapter 20: The Ghost of the Corpse Girl

At noon, the crowd was sitting on the grass resting. Suddenly, a large group of Mongolian cavalry in the distance rushed towards them.

What is this for? Liu Cheng and the others didn't know whether these Mongol soldiers were passing by or coming at them.

No matter what the reason is, the heroes don't suffer immediate losses, and they still have the child Liu Rui with them, so they hurriedly got on the horse and galloped south.

Fluttershy protects Liu Rui, who is not heavy for a horse, but it is two people, so the horse runs slower than the others. Gradually, it fell behind.

Liu Cheng was worried that the two of them would be caught up by the team, so he slowed down the speed of the horse.

The horses of the Mongol soldiers were very fast, and they were about to catch up with them, and the Mongol cavalry waved the scimitars in their hands, and they did not know what to shout.

An earthen fort had been seen on the horizon, and their group was running in the direction of the earthen fort.

When the Mongol cavalry saw them running in this direction, they stopped chasing them, but turned their horses and ran in the other direction.

They finally ran to the bottom of the earthen fort, and when they saw that the Mongol soldiers were no longer chasing, they simply hid in the earthen fort to rest.

It can be seen that this is an abandoned earthen fort, or it may have been abandoned because it was too close to the Mongols and too isolated.

"These Mongolian soldiers don't know what kind of wind they smoke, they are resting well, they are like rabbits, chasing us for a long time. This time it's time to get some rest. I said, big brother, are we going in the wrong direction? Why haven't we reached the border of Daming yet?" Hu Laodao leaned against an earthen wall and sat down, complaining in his mouth.

"Don't you see this ancient castle, this should be very close to the border of the Ming Dynasty, let's rest for a while, and hurry immediately." lest things change. Hu Laodao's senior brother said.

Liu Cheng also agreed with his point of view, so he asked: "Two Dao Masters, where did you take when you came, and how did you bypass the defenders of the Ming Dynasty?"

"We also paid some money from the leader, mixed in the smuggling team, and took advantage of the night to walk through several guards to an uninhabited earthen fort, and then walked through the tunnels to the desert side. ”

"In this case, you have to go through the tunnel. Do you remember the exit?" asked Liu Cheng with a frown.

"Hey, it's so dark, where do we remember. Originally, I was thinking of relying on the leader to lead the team. Who would have thought that he would be caught by officers and soldiers after walking not far away. Senior Brother Hu Laodao sighed and said.

"I pinched my fingers, and there was a tunnel in this place. It's better for us to dig and dig here, anyway, that exit is probably now filled in or guarded by officers and soldiers, and it's useless to find it. Hu Laodao said.

"You pinch your fingers and dream, right?" said Hu Laodao's senior brother angrily.

Hu Laodao smiled and pointed to the opposite side, everyone looked back, and through the window, they saw a big earthen bag in the middle of the courtyard of the earthen fort. When everyone first came in, they didn't pay much attention because it was big and chaotic.

How can a big dirt bag be connected with the tunnel? Everyone was puzzled, what did Hu Lao Dao mean.

"I just saw a woman, and when I walked into the dirt bag, she disappeared, and there must be a tunnel. Hu Laodao explained slowly.

"What the hell is alive in broad daylight, is it still a woman?" said Hu Laodao's senior brother with some disbelief.

"Really, come and see. With that, Hu Laodao stood up and walked towards the big dirt bag, and everyone also wanted to see what was going on.

Gao Rui was very frightened when he heard this, "This, this is a bit like a grave bag." He pulled the corner of Liu Cheng's clothes and said.

Along the way, Gao Rui didn't say a word, Liu Cheng watched him speak, smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, none of us here are afraid of ghosts." Whatever it is, with me here, there is no need to be afraid. ”

Gao Rui looked up at Liu Cheng, and suddenly felt that the image in front of him was much taller. Fluttershy picked her up, "Come on, you're here with me, you don't have to look over." ”

"You let go of me, sister, I'm not afraid, I want to see it too. "Gori struggled to get down.

"I said don't call me sister, call me aunt. Fluttershy puts her down.

When everyone came to the side of the dirt bag, they saw a dark hole with a step that extended downward, as if it had turned a corner downward. This earthen fort is surrounded by houses and earthen walls made of mainly earth, wide and strong, surrounded by a square circle, and there is such a dirt bag in the center of the courtyard, which is probably a deserted military tunnel.

But everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to be the first to walk in.

Hu Laodao took a clod of soil, threw it inside, and stopped when he hit the corner. "Hey, is there anyone?" Hu Laodao shouted below, "Girl, don't be afraid, we are just passing by, and we want to borrow a way." ”

Liu Cheng used flint and fire folds to light a dead wood that he picked up casually and used it as a torch.

"Fluttershy, you take Gao Rui to stay on top, and Brother Hu and I will go down there to take a look. After Liu Cheng finished speaking, holding a sword in his right hand and a torch in his left hand, he walked into the hole.

Hu Laodao handed the fan to his senior brother, picked up two stones from the ground, and walked in after Liu Cheng.

Turn right below, turn left, and then go down a very straight staircase, and when you go to the end, you find that it suddenly opens up, which is like an ancient tomb, because a huge wooden coffin that has not completely rotted is parked on the central mound.

The mural on the front wall is very unique, there is a woman with a human head and a snake body, dragging a round moon in her hand, and inside the moon is a huge toad. Opposite is a man with a human head and a snake body, holding a round sun, and in the sun there is a three-legged crow.

This should be the painting of Fuxi and Nuwa, and there are also paintings below, a lot of chariots, horses, and maids. It can be seen that the identity of the owner of the tomb is very noble.

On the frescoes on both sides, one side depicts people dancing, juggling, musical instruments, magic tricks, and other performances. I don't know if it's a church meeting for the master or a lively bazaar. On the other side, there is a carriage drawn by five dragons, and behind it there is a huge golden phoenix pulling a phoenix, the phoenix chariot is decorated with gold and jade, which is very gorgeous, and a dignified and beautiful woman sits in the chariot. Behind is a long team of carriages and horses, with maids, guards, and some people who look like officials, and what is even more interesting is that there seem to be some monsters with teeth and claws also interspersed in the procession. All the murals are brightly colored, and they still do not fade after the vicissitudes of life.

I don't know what the identity of this owner is, but judging from the murals, it is likely that she is the daughter of the prince and general.

The light of the torches flickered in this tomb, and the illuminated scenery flickered and dimmed, giving people an eerie feeling.

"Let's go, it's just an ancient tomb. There is no need for us to disturb the rest of the tomb owner. Liu Cheng said.

"I should have opened the coffin and looked at it, and I saw a woman walk in. Maybe it's a female ghost. As he spoke, Hu Laodao put down a stone in his hand and took out a soul-calming paper talisman from his arms.

"Female ghost, then let's not bother and provoke. Liu Cheng didn't want to cause more trouble.

"What are you afraid of, that's what we're doing. With that, he pushed the lid of the coffin open.

The moment the coffin lid was pushed open, a golden light suddenly shot out, illuminating Hu Laodao's greedy face.

"Haha, there are treasures here!" he simply pushed the coffin lid open, and with a bang, the coffin lid fell to the ground and fell into several pieces, and the original wood was rotten and could not afford to fall.

Liu Cheng came to him with a torch, and saw a woman in a thin gold silk dress lying in the coffin, peaceful and beautiful, as if she was asleep, not rotting at all.

All the clothes are made of gold wire, which is really unseen and unheard of.

The coffin surrounded the corpse, surrounded by pearls, jadeite, and gold ornaments, and each of the four corners had a bowl-sized night pearl illuminating the place with jewels.

The old man Hu couldn't close his mouth, "I said Brother Liu, don't be careful, the jewelry here is enough for four people, we have a share, and we will make money in harmony, and no one should be evil." ”

"What is the difference between taking the things of the dead and stealing the grave and digging up the grave, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is a felony to be executed. ”

"Yo, I forgot that you are an official, then I don't want jewelry, I have to accept this corpse girl, she is no longer a human, but a dangerous zombie. As he spoke, he put a paper talisman on the female corpse's head.

"How can you tell it's a zombie?" asked Liu Cheng curiously.

"You are confused, look at this ancient tomb mural, and this dress, it should be similar to the Han Dynasty, it has not rotted for more than a thousand years, it is not a zombie, what is it. You don't see the coffins rotting like that. As he spoke, he pressed his hands on the female corpse's chin and head respectively.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Cheng was puzzled.

Hu Laodao forcibly broke the mouth of the female corpse. Then take something out of your mouth. "You see that the corpse does not decay, there must be something to protect the body, and the jade cicada in her mouth may be a treasure that can avoid decay. ”

"The emperor needs this. Liu Cheng exclaimed.

"Why, you just said that you would steal the grave and dig up the grave, and now you are tempted again. Hu Laodao said with a wicked smile.

"Then you better put it back. Liu Cheng was very embarrassed, he was also a person who coveted wealth and power in his heart, and he was very reluctant to give up this immediate benefit.

"Put it back, what's going to do. Sooner or later, this zombie will be a scourge, or I will destroy her sooner rather than later. Hu Laodao said seriously.

As soon as the words fell, the female corpse suddenly sat up, opened her eyes, and looked directly at Liu Cheng.

Because of the soul charm pasted, this female corpse looks even more terrifying.

Liu Cheng was startled, and subconsciously stabbed with a sword.

The head of the female corpse in the middle was as hard as if it had been pierced with copper and iron.

Although it was not injured, the female corpse was stabbed by the force of the sword and lay down.

Hu Laodao hurriedly posted two more talismans. "Well, this zombie is really powerful. ”

"I don't want anything in this coffin, but this zombie is mine. You have to let her wear this gold silk dress, you can't strip it naked, it's too unsightly. Hu Laodao dragged the zombie out of it.

"What do you want to do with it?" Liu Cheng looked at Hu Laodao's appearance, as if he didn't have a good heart.

"What to do? Of course, it's a fire. It's a pity for this beauty. ”

I saw Hu Laodao take out a bell from his hand, pull out the cotton inside, and then shake it a few times.

The jingle bell was very crisp, and the zombie moved. He stretched out his hand, twisted his neck, and then tore off the paper talisman from his head.

Hu Laodao was taken aback by this sudden change, caught off guard, and was slapped by a zombie, and the person suddenly flew into the wall, and the bell also fell to the ground, so terrifying power.

The beautiful zombie smiled at Liu Cheng, revealing her terrifying fangs, and her 10 fingers suddenly became longer, and her nails became sharp and sharp.

Liu Cheng was busy holding his sword, and in his left hand, he shot two darts, both of which ingested the eyes of zombies. It seems that zombies still have weaknesses.

The female zombie threw two darts on the ground, leaving two eyes dripping with black and red blood, which made people feel even more terrifying.

But after his eyes were beaten, it seemed that his vision was not affected by anything, and he pounced directly on Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng swung his sword and stabbed it, but the zombie easily bounced it away with his hand, and the power was so great that it almost shook the sword away.

The female zombie instantly pounced in front of Liu Cheng, grabbed his shoulders at once, opened her mouth and bit Liu Cheng's neck.

Liu Cheng hurriedly returned his sword and blocked the big mouth with four fangs.

Such a sharp sword was actually bitten by a zombie, and the zombie's mouth was not cut.

Liu Cheng's shoulders were picked, and he didn't feel pain, but he felt more and more powerless.

It's not good, it looks like it's poisoned.

The zombie was suddenly kicked away by Wu Laodao, Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and he fell to the ground weakly.

But Wu Laodao sat on him and slapped Liu Cheng viciously. Seeing that Liu Cheng was unable to speak, "pop, pop, snap" slapped him three times in a row.
