Chapter 14: The Burial Place of the Unknown Taoist Priest
I have heard the words "Ta is alive" no less than three times, the first two times are in Aaron's story, I don't know if this "Ta" is "him" or "she", and even "it", these two "Ta" are not the same "Ta", but no matter what, this "Ta" is likely to be King Zhou, or something in the tomb of King Zhou, but no matter what it is, it can live for more than 2,000 years, and it makes people feel panicked when they think about it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The old Taoist priest was simply obsessed and went crazy, grabbed my shoulders tightly, pinched his nails directly into my flesh, shaking desperately, and kept making a creepy "snoring" sound in his throat, obviously trying to break me apart, I was frightened by his crazy tiger-like posture, a stick like a pestle there, I don't know what to do.
"Daoist, do you want to be excited, who ......" I didn't finish this sentence, I saw that the old Taoist priest was suddenly stunned, and he didn't come up in one breath, "Ga" and he pumped over, and fell straight to the ground, Xiao Zhang and I hurriedly shouted to help, but found that his body had softened, stretched out his hand to probe his nose, and was already out of breath, Xiao Zhang also leaned down to listen to his chest, got up and frowned and shook his head at me, it seems that there is no heartbeat.
I sighed, I felt very bad in my heart, I wanted to cry a little, people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? Watching a life pass in front of his eyes, no one will feel good in his heart, not to mention that this old Taoist priest is still our life-saving benefactor.
Thinking about his life, it is really very miserable, in his twenties, he is in his prime, he is full of spirit, he has learned art, learned a Taoist technique, and is about to show his strength, but he was injured by filth in this mountain forest and passed out on the mass grave.
A pair of discerning eyes glimpsed the heavens, in order to repay the grace of life, the way to break the heavens, but no one believed it, became a laughing stock, suffered from neglect and blows, and then lived alone in this mountain for 80 years, lonely and lonely.
After the mental breakdown, the blue blood pill heart still exists, the blood is not cold, the battle of the hanging corpse cypress, saved me and Xiao Zhang's two lives, but the good people will not be rewarded, and finally die in the mountains, death is not blind, the sky has no eyes, the heaven and the earth are not benevolent, with all things as dogs, it can be seen in Si, they all say that good has good rewards, and evil has evil rewards, but this Taoist priest has done good deeds in his life, and has not done any bad things, why did he end up like this? !
"Eighty years of solitude, just to say such a thing?" I felt depressed in my heart, like a lump of cotton, I read this sentence in a book, "Don't die, don't live alone", and now I know that living alone is much more terrible than death.
Xiao Zhang also sighed, squatted down and gently closed the eyes of the old Taoist priest with his hand, bowed respectfully to the corpse three times, then stood up and patted the floating soil on his body, gently shook me who was still feeling sad, and turned around to leave.
"Where are you going?" I asked, there are trees on all sides, there is no way to judge the direction, just now we were just being pulled by the old Taoist priest and kept running forward, we didn't know where we were, that is, we were lost.
"I don't know, but I'm going to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible," Zhang said very frustratedly, taking out his phone and opening the compass app, unlike usual, that damn pointer kept dangling and swaying, in this hellish place, the magnetic field is chaotic.
On Lao Zhao's navigation, the point representing our location also disappeared.
"Go over there." Xiao Zhang stood and spun around, specifying a direction.
"Wait a minute," I grabbed him and pointed to the corpse of the Taoist priest on the ground, "This Dao Master has saved our lives, we can't let him be like this in the wilderness." ”
"Dust to dust, dust to dust," Xiao Zhang said, pulling out a shovel, "bury him." ”
The two of us went down with a shovel, and the sparks went straight to the spark, which made my mouth numb, and I opened the floating soil to see that there seemed to be a stone tablet buried in the ground, and we spent more than 20 minutes in a hurry to finally dig out the stone tablet.
This stele is one meter wide, two meters high, the surface is extremely flat, the seal is engraved with eight big characters, the shape is very peculiar, like the traces of earthworms crawling, I deliberately searched in my mind, and found that this word is not any kind of ancient text that I recognize, the strange thing is that I can understand it.
"What the hell is this? You kid is well-informed, give me a translator......" Xiao Zhang turned his face to me.
"This ......" I thought for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill all over my body, "This seems to be Yinwen!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, didn't Lao Zhao say that Yin is the text of the dead, and only the dead can understand it?" Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then pushed me.
"People who should have died but didn't die are considered dead?" I said in a trembling voice, Xiao Zhang's face became more and more ugly, and he knew what I was talking about.
"None...... Famous ......" I recognized word by word, and suddenly shouted out in a loud voice, "Where the nameless Taoist priest is buried!" ”
"Get out of here!" Xiao Zhang's face turned pale instantly, and after taking a deep breath to calm down, he carried the old Taoist priest in with me and put it away, hurriedly filled in the soil, and walked quickly to the depths of the forest.
Maybe it was because of the bad mood, the two of us stopped talking along the way, and the atmosphere was a little scary, and finally, Xiao Zhang, the first talker, couldn't help but speak, "I said Xiao Li, if you say that if this person dies, will the eyeballs be the first to rot?" ”
"This ...... I was confused, wondering why he was asking this all of a sudden, "why are you asking this?" ”
"Just casually," Xiao Zhang tried to squeeze out a smile, "When we were hung by that tree, I saw that all the corpses had no eyes, so I wondered if this was the case, but the eyes of these corpses didn't look like they were rotting on their own, but like they had been gouged out by something." ”
I felt a wave of gags and didn't take his breath.
"By the way, what do you mean by that last sentence?" Xiao Zhang continued to ask.
"He said, it's a demon mound, mound, that is, the meaning of the tomb, the demon mound is the tomb of the goblin, he means, that King Zhou is not a human at all, but a monster," I said, "Even if he is not a monster, he has lived for two thousand years, and he can no longer be called a human, this tomb, I am afraid it is much more dangerous than we imagined." ”
"Hey, this old Taoist priest has long been delirious, and he can't believe all the words he says, but I have one more, and I don't know if it's right," Xiao Zhang scratched his head, "You said that this demon mound, will it not be a person, but the tomb itself, maybe this tomb of King Zhou has become a spirit by itself." ”
I don't know why, as soon as I heard this, my heart suddenly stopped, and I suddenly felt very uneasy, stopped, and looked at him with complicated eyes, "What's wrong?" Xiao Zhang stretched out his hand and touched his face, saying very strangely.
"It's okay," I forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, "it's that I'm thinking too much." "At this moment, I have become a frightened bird.
Xiao Zhang nodded and stopped talking, we just cared about the boring head and hurried, and walked three or five miles, saw and heard the sound of the water murmuring, such as the sound of the ring, as soon as we heard the sound we immediately cheered up, followed the sound to find, not long after, a stream exposed in front of us, this stream to pebble as the bottom, surrounded by bamboo trees on all sides, sad and cold, quietly secluded, if not because in such a mountain forest, it is a good place for pastime, hot two tea, support a fishing rod, you can sit quietly and spend the whole day.
The two of us tossed for so long, naturally it was a stinky sweat, mixed with a lot of dirty blood and mud, a stream so clear, I couldn't help but kick my shoes, fold my trouser legs, and jump into it, this stream is very cold, it can be said that it is cold to the bones, and I shiver all over my body.
Xiao Zhang yelled thirsty, picked up the kettle and went upstream to get water, I stood there, picked up a handful of water and poured it on my head, so much happened in these two short hours, my mind was very confused, so it kept me calm.
"it!" Xiao Zhang's scolding suddenly came from my ears, and I hurriedly looked up, only to see Xiao Zhang suddenly holding his stomach and falling into the water.
"What's wrong?!" I hurriedly waded through the water, and kept asking questions, but Xiao Zhang didn't answer, only to see him holding his stomach and tossing in the water, his face distorted by pain.
"Water...... Village...... Yes...... Poisonous! Xiao Zhang struggled to spit out these words and closed his eyes.
"I'm X, Xiao Zhang, what's the situation with you? Don't scare me. "I couldn't have imagined that a person who was still alive just now, just drank a sip of water, how could he become such a ghost, and hurriedly helped him up, but saw that he was already unconscious, and there was no air intake.
"Ah~" I raised my head and screamed, tears flowed down instantly, in this ghost place, he is my only spiritual support, the two of us rely on each other, so we have the courage to survive, if even he is dead, how can I face this long night alone, and the danger hidden in the dark, I will definitely go crazy.
Just when I was at a loss, Xiao Zhang in my arms suddenly moved, I looked down and found that he had opened his eyes and made a grimace at me, "I'm kidding you!" ”
"I'm X," I was stunned at first, then let go, and threw this guy into the water, "Zhang San is crazy, let me tell you, you said that you guy's middle two also scored an occasion, in this place you play with me, almost scared my soul, if I really scare something, I see how you explain to Lao Zhao, hum, it's really deceiving my feelings." ”
"Look at what you said, I just see that you are nervous and want you to relax, is it as serious as you said?" Xiao Zhang got up from the water and stuck out his tongue at me, "Don't you believe in our comrade-in-arms for more than 20 years?" ”
"your big watermelon, it's still 'more than 20 years of comradeship', there was no you twenty years ago, and now is an extraordinary period, you kid give me restraint...... Hiss...... "As I spoke, I suddenly felt a pain in the soles of my feet, I couldn't help but take a breath, I lifted my feet to see, I don't know what was scratched on the soles of my feet, and now there is blood oozing out little by little.
"What's going on, do you want to bandage it?" Xiao Zhang restrained his smile when he saw this situation, and was about to go ashore to find a medical kit, "I think this is not shallow, and it is under your feet, you sweat when you are in a hurry, and you are very easy to get infected." ”
"It's just a small injury, what is the bandage, I'm not muddy, I'm not fragile, we have played since childhood, you don't know my pure character, when I was five years old, I was playing in the house, accidentally fell off, fell on my head, stitched one or twenty stitches, and didn't even take anesthetic." As soon as I saw that the wound was basically bleeding away, I put my foot back in the water and stepped on the stone.
"You just blow it, I don't know who it is, I just cried and fainted, if you don't take anesthetics, you're afraid of hurting your brain, although your IQ is not high," Xiao Zhang snorted, dismantling my platform, and pretending to be X in front of this guy is a very unwise choice, because he knows me too well, and when he talks about me, he is very willing to expose me, sarcastically mock me, ridicule me, and embarrass me.
"Hitting people doesn't slap their faces, saying that people don't expose their shortcomings, haven't you heard of this sentence?" I feigned anger, "Why do I feel so buried in myself every time I talk to you, can we still play happily together?" ”
"With copper as a mirror can be dressed, with history as a mirror can know the rise and fall, with people as a mirror can see the gains and losses, I say this, just to let you recognize yourself, than those who are yang and yin, only know how to blindly flatter people are much stronger, you can meet a good teacher and friend like me, you should go to your ancestors to burn high incense, this is eight lifetimes of virtue, I tell you, others knelt down and asked me to bury him, I didn't agree," Xiao Zhang, this guy began to grin again, said and squeezed his eyes at me, "How is it, is the mood much better?" So what are you nervous about, what is there to be afraid of those things that are not clean, as soon as you meet, you will **** Ya, the big deal is a death, people die and birds will face the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years, what are you afraid of? ”
I shrugged my shoulders helplessly, and said in my heart that you guys have a good mouth, and if you really want to run into those things, you are obscene.
The two of us went ashore, took off only our pants, soaked our clothes in water, and rubbed them together without washing powder, and we didn't have to wash them so cleanly, after all, we wouldn't wear them again, just wash off the disgusting smell of blood on them.
This dress is a quick-drying tactical suit bought by Lao Zhao, COOLMAX fabric, after washing, twist it, and when it is blown by the wind, it is almost dry, and when you wear it, you don't have that strange smell, and you suddenly feel a lot more refreshed.
After washing, I discussed with Xiao Zhang, Lao Zhao estimated that he had already arrived in Jeho Village, and now he was looking for us everywhere, after all, without the two of us, he had no way to fight alone, the two of us set off now, it is estimated that we can still meet him on the road, no more, wait a few hours until dawn, the sun rises, we can determine the direction, even if the magnetic field of this forest is made of hands and feet, you can't see the compass, you can still see the sun, isn't it? No matter how powerful the person who designed this tomb is, he will not be able to do anything in the sun.
Xiao Zhang and I put on shoes and socks, picked up the equipment placed by the stream and were about to leave, Xiao Zhang suddenly froze there, I shone him with a miner's lamp, and found that his expression was very strange, and he was staring in one direction with frightened eyes, I thought he was joking with me again, and reached out to push him twice, but found that this kid did not react, I saw that his face was white, not like a joke, so I followed his line of sight.
I saw a corpse leaning against a large tree thirty meters away from us.
My heart sank, and I swept around with the miner's lamp, only to find that there was not only one corpse, there were two more corpses twenty meters next to the big tree, but these two corpses were not as intact as the one leaning against the tree, their heads were blown away, red and white flowed to the ground.
"Don't ...... Don't be afraid, these are just ordinary corpses, not zongzi," Xiao Zhang's voice was trembling, and he comforted me vigorously, "Or ...... Let's go over and have a look? ”
"Let's go!" I nodded, untied the shotgun from behind, held it in my hand, and followed Xiao Zhang cautiously towards the two corpses lying on the ground, I heard Lao Zhao say that corpses without heads generally do not get up, although these two corpses look disgusting and scary, but they are relatively safer than the other.
When we got closer, we found that these people were wearing similar clothes to us, they should be our peers, their bodies had just begun to decompose, they should have been dead for no more than three days, and, most importantly, they were all shot to death, one shot in the head, I guess it was these people who were killed by their companions because of the unequal distribution of the spoils.
Xiao Zhang was more practical, I saw him pull out the hunting knife, pick out the corpse's shirt, pick out their wallets, open the zipper and turn up the things inside, this kid is a lock and a hook, it is really a good material for a thief.
Xiao Zhang took out the money and cards from their bags, and stuffed them into his backpack very easily, I teased, "Isn't it, you have all the money of the dead, so you are not afraid of retribution?!" ”
"You know what?" Xiao Zhang took out the ID cards of the two of them, threw them to me, and said righteously, "I want to wait until I go out, send these things to their families, and report to them by the way, so that they can mourn and change." ”
I looked at the two ID cards, these two people are of the same age, they are both fat, the short one is called Yan Tuanzheng, and the tall one is called Liang Quanwei, both of whom are natives of Ruzhou.
I admire Xiao Zhang very much, a person whose skin is thicker than the city wall, who never makes a draft when he lies, and who speaks so slippery, his face is not red and his heart does not beat.
Xiao Zhang bowed to the two corpses, said "excuse me", picked up the knife and walked towards the corpse leaning against the tree, as the saying goes, once born and twice cooked, this kid is also bold, without using a knife, he stretched out his hand and directly took out the man's pocket, I just wanted to remind him not to be careless, but it was too late.
only heard a crisp sound of "pop", and the corpse suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Zhang's wrist violently!
