Volume 2 Ghost Corpse Lake Chapter 56 Sealing the Corpse Nail
The fat man kept muttering, and I got tired of listening to it, so I went to the junction of the carriage to smoke. When I walked to the door of the car, I saw a shriveled old man squatting on the ground, holding a pure copper smoking gun, spitting smoke.
When the old man saw me coming, he looked up, and then he continued to lower his head and smoke his cigarette gun, and after two puffs, he knocked the cigarette stick on the ground a few times, coughed, and got up to leave. Just as the old man was lifting, the train shook violently, and the old man fell down to me with a shudder, and grabbed me by the clothes.
The old man didn't even look at me, stood up and walked into a box in front of us. Looking at the old man's back, I always feel that something makes me very uncomfortable, he has a very strong smell of Miao medicine, this smell is very familiar to me, a classmate in college is a Miao medicine picker, he has this smell.
After smoking a cigarette, I didn't figure out what was wrong, so I went in and continued to sleep, and waited until the car arrived in Shenyang, the door of the box was opened, and I saw a few second uncle's guys in a daze, I got up and said hello, but I didn't see Shunzi.
The second uncle patted me and said, "Junzi is driving with equipment, I guess I've arrived there, and he still has to arrange some things." "Tell me not to worry, I didn't say anything after listening to the second uncle's words.
After dark, the train temperature was very cold, so I wrapped my coat tightly and slipped into the bed, intending to go back to sleep. Just as I was turning over, I suddenly felt something smack, I remembered that I didn't have anything in my coat, and when I reached in and touched it, I felt something like a nail as long as a finger.
I wondered, and when I took it out, I found that it was a cone made of wood, black all over, heavy to the touch, oily to the touch, as if it had been soaked in something.
It's the first time I've seen this kind of thing, and I didn't see what it was after looking at it for a long time, so I handed it to the second uncle next to me and asked him to see what it was.
After all, the second uncle has traveled south and north for so many years, and the experience he has accumulated is not comparable to me, and he has seen all kinds of strange things, he took it and only glanced at it and took a breath, "This is a corpse nail, how do you have this thing." ”
"Huh? I don't know what the corpse nail is, but I suddenly found it in my pocket. ”
I suddenly felt a slight change in the second uncle's face, and then said to me gloomily: "This thing is used by the Xiangxi corpse chaser, it can seal the soul of people, except for those people, no one else can make this thing at all." ”
Then he looked at me again, "This thing is slimy to the touch, it has been soaked in corpse oil and human blood, and the yin qi is extremely heavy, I heard that some people still specialize in pounding this thing now, and the older the year, the more yin and evil it becomes." Just ......"
I saw that the second uncle's face was gloomy, and I hurriedly asked him: "It's just what .......?"
"There is only one kind of person who can use this thing except for the corpse chaser."
"Who?"
"Dead people."
When the second uncle said this, his face was extremely ugly, and even his whole face looked a little blue, and his eyes were extremely cold.
I know some of the corpse chasers that the second uncle said, but this profession is too weird, and it is generally adopted by the master by some orphans since they were young, and then taught by hand.
The most prosperous time in Xiangxi was the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the warlords were fighting and the government of the Republic of China was an empty shelf. It was so normal to be shot at that time, not a thousand but eight hundred a day.
The families of the deceased who had money wanted to bring these bodies back for burial, after all, the concept of returning to the roots of fallen leaves in China since ancient times is still very strong. But at that time, hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, not to mention the corpse, even a living person had to walk for several months, and when the car was pulled back, the corpse had already rotted and smelled, and it was unrecognizable when it arrived home, so there was a corpse chaser at that time.
This industry is very mysterious, and there is a strong teacher-student relationship, unless it is an apprentice who is favored by the master, otherwise you will never learn this skill.
But how could a corpse nail suddenly appear here, and
And now there is no such thing as chasing corpses, and even if there is, it is impossible to drive a corpse on the train.
It definitely didn't happen to fall into my pocket, it should have been put in someone. The second uncle just said that this thing is only found on corpses except for corpse chasers, which made me break out in a cold sweat and think about how I became a corpse.
Suddenly, I was a spirit, the old man just now should be from Miaojiang, he grabbed my clothes just now, it should have been deliberate, and he put the corpse sealing nail into my pocket at that time.
I hurriedly got up and ran out, and rushed into the box where the old man had just entered, and there was no one inside, and I looked carefully at the bed, but found nothing.
I turned around and came out to see the Tao, who knew that as soon as I turned my head, there was a pain in the back of my neck, as if I wanted to be pinched by someone's hand, I immediately reached out to grab it, and as soon as I raised my hand, my arm was buckled.
I could feel that the hand was very rough, and the raised lines on the fingers were very hard. As soon as the hand on my neck was forced, my brain suddenly sank, and I felt that my eyes blurred in an instant, and I opened my mouth and screamed a few times, but I couldn't make any sound at all.
Just as I was squirming to break free, suddenly a hoarse voice came from my ears, the sound was very ugly, and my voice looked like it had been sandpapered.
"Don't move, young man, be careful of your second uncle."
I was suddenly stunned by this voice, and I didn't react for a while, and stood there for two or three seconds. By the time I came to my senses, the hand had been released from my neck, and when I looked back, there was no one behind me.
I suddenly got covered in white sweat, although I couldn't speak just now, but my ears could still hear, but I didn't hear footsteps at all, and I didn't see the shadow of anyone moving from the glass of the car window.
What the hell is this, and what did he mean by what he just said, be careful of my second uncle, what's wrong with my second uncle, why should you be careful of second uncle, will the second uncle harm me?
Just when I was in a trance, suddenly the second uncle came out of the box, and when he saw that I was in a daze, he asked me, "Eldest nephew, are you okay?" ”
"Uh, uh-huh.... It's okay, it's okay. ”
The second uncle glanced behind me a few times, then stared at my neck and said with a surprised expression, "What's wrong with your neck?" ”
I looked up at my second uncle with a smile: "Ah, neck? What's wrong with the neck? ”
The second uncle pointed to the shadow on the car window glass and said, "See for yourself." ”
