Chapter 343: The Night Owl is born of resentment
The family members of those people, as soon as they heard that the entrance of the cave was sealed, stopped doing it at that time, crying and wanting to go in and pull out their own families, but the Taoist priest said loudly: "Although those people are alive, they have been poisoned by corpses, their eyes are already bloodshot, when the pupils are red, they are not people, when the time comes, there will only be flesh and blood in their eyes, at that time, the whole village will fall into a catastrophe, do you think about whether the people who are bitten will have fever and cold, and are very afraid of water and movement?" ”
When everyone heard this, they all fell into deep thought, lowered their heads and did not speak, first the death of the two stunned, and then those fox friends and dog friends, those walking corpses looked very slow to walk, but as soon as they saw people, they became faster, very terrible, if these 20 or so people became walking corpses again, then the whole village would be finished. So I stood up and told everyone that I was reasonable, and I knew that none of them wanted their loved ones to be locked up in a cave.
Finally, the Taoist priest said: "Listen to me, the original person will be infected with the corpse poison, after he bites, the person who is poisoned by the corpse will definitely attack faster and faster, so let's seal the entrance of the cave, leave a gap, three days as a limit, if within three days, the people in the cave do not change the corpse, let them out." ”
As soon as everyone heard what the Taoist priest said, they had to nod their heads with tears in agreement, and then someone asked the Taoist priest, why couldn't they hear the voices of the people inside, and the Taoist priest said that it was because he was afraid of the people inside, and he was in pain because of fear, and gave them sweat medicine, and after three days, if he was fine, he would wake up. (Menghan medicine is a kind of ancient drug, the formula is extremely dense in the rivers and lakes, not the average person can know, but in the "Guihai Yu Hengzhi" contains, Mantuoluo flowers, stealing flowers for the end, put into the diet, that is, all drunk.) According to the truth, the sweat medicine is not delusional. This medicine can quickly make people unconscious, and it often appears in martial arts novels, but this medicine is not fiction, it did exist at that time. )
Everyone sealed the entrance of the cave with a big stone, fearing that their relatives would be bored in the cave, leaving a lot of gaps, and after making it, the Taoist priest found a mat and sat there to meditate, guarding the entrance of the cave to prevent other people from approaching. In this way, on the third day, everyone came to the cave at dawn, and then everyone heard the sound of ghosts crying wolves in the cave, and looked along the gaps, the people inside, the flesh on their faces was rotten, and they bit each other, and they all became living walking corpses, and everyone remembered to thank the Taoist priest.
And the Taoist priest didn't speak, and chanted there vigorously, just like that, the walking corpse inside, the wolf ghost cried for half a month before it slowly subsided. And the Taoist priest didn't leave, so he built a Taoist temple in front of the cave, and the Taoist temple was dedicated to the three-eyed Ma Wangye, so our village returned to calm.
Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, one day the people in the village, go to the main hall to burn incense, but the main hall of the Taoist temple, the door is closed, everyone feels strange, someone stabbed the window paper with his hand, looked inside, he was frightened crazy, screaming the dead, soon someone called me to go, I asked people to open the door to see, it was too miserable, only to see the head of the Taoist chief, for some reason there was a big piece of the fist missing, the brain inside was gone, the black hole was hollow, the top of the head began to chill, and the whole back began to break out in a cold sweat.
Everyone talked about it, I don't know what it was, the Taoist priest was killed, we reported to the official, and the official came to the autopsy and said that the bone on the head was not done by man, what was it, and he bit the skull hard with his teeth, and then sucked the brain marrow inside. As for what bit the skull, no one knows.
Everyone made people's hearts panic, and they all said that it was a soul that died in the cave, and turned into a night owl and came back to take revenge. Later, several children died in the village, all of them were bitten by the braincase, and then sucked the brains and died, at that time everyone in the village was in danger, and later the temple fair, someone bought a mask with a cat's face, and escaped a catastrophe, the children on the village, everyone wore a mask.
The night owl is really afraid of the cat's face, after the children on the village wear the cat face, the night owl began to look around for the prime-aged people, after eating a few, the people on the village can no longer live, the family moved away, leaving some old people who don't want to go, the night owl does not eat the elderly, it swims all night, specifically eats the passers-by, and then the population is less and less, so people are afraid of eating, the less they walk, no one dares to stay here, so the night owl began to eat the elderly. “
Zhou Baochang told me what happened, and I said, "Zhou Baochang, do you think this night owl is a ghost or a monster?" ”
Zhou Baochang said: "The night owl is a monster, some people have seen it, but it ran too fast, and only the yellow shadow could be seen, running forward on the ground against the wall. ”
I said, "In this way, the night owl should be a sperm beast, could it be a weasel?" ”
Zhou Baochang shook his head and said: "No, even if the weasel becomes a sperm, it is only to charm people's hearts and let themselves possess, this night owl specializes in eating human brains, and is more ferocious than a weasel." ”
I nodded, and then asked, "Chief Zhou, can that night owl find us?" ”
Zhou Baochang said: "Yes, this thing is very evil, after dark at night, it will wander in the village, its nose is very smart, in the middle of the night, it will definitely be found,"
I said, "Well, we're going to meet the night stalker tonight, and better get rid of the night stalker." ”
Zhou Baochang said: "This, this is too dangerous. ”
I said, "It's okay, we've been through a lot of things like this, and I want to see what kind of monster the night owl is today." ”
Zhou Baochang said: "Two Taoist masters, and a few guests, you all put that cat-faced mask on your head tonight, and if you can get rid of that night owl, get rid of it, don't force it if you can't get rid of it, anyway, that night owl has harmed us for ten years, our old bones are alive, and we won't live much older, you don't deserve it, take your life for us old men." ”
I said, "Chief Zhou, we will protect ourselves, you find us an empty house, and we will wait for the night owl in the house." ”
Zhou Baochang listened, he held the oil lamp, led us to another house, this house except a few chairs, there is nothing else, Zhou Baochang to us thousands of instructions, and then go back, the old Zhang Tou loves horses like life, want to lead the horse into the house, Mao Qinglian They did not let the old Zhang Tou lead the horse, so the horse is connected to the carriage, placed in the middle of the yard not far from the house, you can clearly see the carriage's every move.
We slapped the dust off the chairs, and then we sat down on the chairs, spears and knives were out, and for safety, I asked them to put on the masks of the flower-faced cats, and then I remembered that the old Zhang Tou couldn't help. So let the old man put on a cat face mask.
We let the three of them sit inside, and the three of us sat at the door, but Lao Zhangtou wanted to look at his horse, so he sat at the door, and everyone finally discussed, let me sit with Mao Qinglian and them, and protect the two of them, I know that Zhong Dabiao has a heart, and regards Mao Qinglian and Luo Xihan as his own sister. But let me protect the two beauties, I don't have any opinion at all.
I had to hold the rifle at this time, in fact, for me, the rifle is far from being as easy as the big knife, but Zhong Dabiao said that the rifle is an elongated hand, which can catch what you want, and it is still easy to use a gun to deal with night owls. After we sat down, they whispered a few words to Mao Qinglian, and then the little fox Mao Mao jumped over, and ran to my knees at once, this little guy is not very heavy, about the same size as a domestic cat, the hair on his body is very smooth, and it is very comfortable to touch his hands, and the little fox Mao Mao, holding it to people, is very useful, squinting his eyes, and sleeping there.
After a few words of deliberation, we stayed there and waited for the night owl to appear. We had walked a lot that day, so we were all very tired, and after sitting there for an hour, we began to nap and get drowsy, and the others snored. At this time, there was a sound of a dog barking in the yard, and the sound seemed to be shaking, which should be the sound that the dog can only have when he is afraid. The little fox Mao Mao in my arms suddenly spoke: "Second brother, that night owl is here, you watch quietly first, don't startle the snake." ”
