Volume 1 Corpse Mountain Ghost Grass Chapter 29 Living Corpses
Junko and Jijing's actions told me that this time it was not a hallucination, and they also heard the resentful cry for help, and there was really something. Junzi was afraid of ghosts, so he hurriedly ran over, "The yin qi here is already strong, and now it's midnight, and it's not strange that there are unjust ghosts haunting you, it's just that we can't be alone, I'm where you are, I just don't know what ghosts are afraid of?" He pretended to be calm and said a lot.
I shook my head at him, I don't have much experience in calling ghosts, so I quickly woke up Da Zhuang who was sleeping loudly, everyone packed their bags, lit torches, Zhijing carried Zhiguang's body, and was about to search deep into the valley.
After Da Zhuang figured out the reason, he muttered and blamed me for arguing with his sweet dream, and said crookedly, don't be alarmist, he has never seen any unjust souls who have traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, if he really comes to make trouble, even if it is Lord Yama, he will have to go up and pull a few beards down.
But just out of dozens of zhang, I feel that something is not quite right, it stands to reason that the voice is coming from this vicinity, everyone is holding their breath, Shunzi is sharp-eyed, a wave of his hand, pointing to the left front, everyone looks in the direction he pointed, only to see a mound more than ten zhang away, is not a small deserted tomb, the so-called deserted tomb is not a monument.
We cautiously touched it and found that it was not a single tomb, but a dozen, scattered in an unruly circle.
Da Zhuang didn't dare to hold it up now, he was probably completely sober, and said nervously: "What kind of maze array is this for Lao Tzu?" ”
Hua Bo seemed to have comprehended, and walked around these deserted tombs twice with a torch, and said, "This is indeed a formation, but it is not a Ecstasy Formation. ”
"Array?" Da Zhuang and I spoke in unison.
"Well, this is called'Liuding Liujia Formation', the so-called Liuding Liujia is to arrange the formation according to the direction of the Liuding God and the Liujia God, this formation is to defend as an attack, it is very mysterious, these twelve tombs are arranged according to the formation, I don't know what is the purpose of using the tomb to arrange the array?"
When I was a child, I heard Ah Weng also talk about some formations, but I had never heard of Liuding Liujia, or I had forgotten it for a long time, but I thought that the uses were similar, so I said: "The ancient formations were used to attack or defend during wars, and this kind of formation was also used by soldiers to fight?" Could this array be to restrain something? ”
Hua Bo thought for a moment and said: "There is indeed this possibility, this Liuding Liujia Formation is a kind of protection of Taoism, there is a saying of 'Ding Chou prolongs my life, Ding Hai detains my soul', it is very likely that there is something in the town, then the eye of this array should be there." As he spoke, he pointed to the right with the torch in his hand, and everyone looked in the direction that Warber was pointing, and sure enough, by the light of the fire, we could vaguely see that a black pillar stood a few feet away from us. In the Netherworld Valley, there are several desolate graves surrounded by such a small thing, which is really strange.
"Beware, it is said that the ancients used stones to set up formations and secretly enchanted the enchantment, which could trap the army." I picked up a few stones, and threw them in several directions, the stones did not deviate, there was no obstacle here, but when I stepped into the town, I still felt a strong oppression, and I was a little breathless, and when I got closer, I saw where the pillar was, and it was a standing coffin, this coffin was very long, and the coffin that was inserted into the ground obliquely, there was no grave bag, and there were not many parts into the earth, and most of them were exposed. This kind of burial style is simply unheard of, but the coffin is ordinary, it is a new lacquered wooden coffin, the two gods depicted on the coffin lid are as bright as ever, it is estimated that the painting should be the great god in charge of life and death here in the Western Regions, and the text next to it is incomprehensible.
Zhijing looked at it and said in a low voice: "It's a local text, which means: 'The auspicious Yin God Jade Maiden, with the same longevity as the Yuan Ming Heavenly Emperor'." ”
Hua Bo asked Zhijing, "Is this how people are buried in the country of Shache?" ”
Zhijing shook his head and said: "Since the unification of General Huo Quai, the Western Regions has established the capital protection mansion and spread the Han culture, and it has been three hundred years now, so there is no difference between the burial system and the Han Dynasty, and they all pay attention to entering the soil for safety, but there are a few places that still follow the previous customs, and the coffin is not buried after the grave, but just planted a poplar or something, which has shown that it will last for ten thousand years, or simply let ten thousand horses return to nature, but such a burial method is definitely unusual, and there must be something strange in it." ”
Da Zhuang saw that the sealed coffin seemed to be painted with a piece of brightly colored vermilion lacquer, so he touched it with his hand, but then looked at what kind of vermilion lacquer was on his hand, it was clearly blood, and it was still dripping.
At this moment, "Click! With a bang, the coffin shook slightly. Everyone took a few steps back, and Junko was so frightened that her legs were so weak that she almost didn't spread on the ground! "Ka, ka!" Two more sounds, the lid of the coffin shook more visibly, and then a howling wind sounded, and the earth on the graves around it slipped as if something was about to come out of the ground.
Junko trembled and pulled out her waist knife, and said with a crying voice in fright, "Above, last time, I touched the mechanism and caused the 'chain stilts', this time, what is it this time?" ”
Da Zhuang was also frightened, and shouted stumblingly: "I see that this time it's not a mechanism, yes, it's a corpse!" I really bumped into a ghost. This time, it's weird, just now, I shouldn't have gasped for breath at the coffin, and let it borrow the vitality of the living to raise the corpse! No matter what the hell it is, yes, I'm sorry, before it comes out, quickly set it on fire! Come, in the coming year, I will be clear and Wu Dazhuang will definitely burn more ingots for him. As he spoke, he rushed forward and lit the strange coffin with the torch in his hand! It's all about now, and if I let the contents out, I'm afraid it will be a big problem, so Junko and I hurried over to help.
Hua Bo hurriedly stopped us and said, "Stop, I always feel that something is wrong with this coffin, quick, help open the coffin!" I'm going to find out. So saying, he went to lift the lid of the coffin.
Everyone was frightened by Hua Bo, the ordinary coffin opened the coffin and saw it, but the coffin was weird and evil, in my hometown, only the one who died unjustly would be such a battle, and this Liuding Liujia array was in town, there must be a big murderer inside, and now the corpse has been raised, if the lid is really lifted, then it will be okay, even Zhi Jing, who has always been honest and silent, was shocked to stare at the boss, fortunately, the coffin was sealed firmly, Hua Bo didn't pry it a few times, but he still didn't give up, turned around and said to us loudly: "Why are you still stunned?" Quick, come and help. ”
Da Zhuang was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to disobey Hua Bo, so he could only persuade and discuss: "Master, even if there is something wrong, it has nothing to do with us!" We're here to collect medicine, Master, don't look at it, the things inside are dangerous and abnormal, if you don't burn them again, your lives will be over, Master! ”
Waber didn't pay attention to it at all, and went crazy to snatch his waist knife and pry the lid of the coffin.
We didn't know what to do for a while, I think Waber is a little abnormal, he has always been meticulous and cautious in doing things, how can he do such a thing? Could it be that he was possessed by that terrible ghost and lost his mind? …… I was about to stop him.
But at this moment, Zhijing took a step ahead of me, rushed forward, fought with his arms, and the long stick poked on the coffin lid with a bang, "squeak", and the coffin board was staggered by Zhijing. I hurried forward to protect Warber, and at that moment, a pale human hand came out of the coffin, impartial, and was resting on my shoulder.
Everyone present saw it so well that I shook it off and got rid of that hand.
Da Zhuang rushed up and shouted, "Don't want to hurt people!" Then he raised his dagger and slashed.
Hua Bo hurriedly grabbed Da Zhuang's arm, "Apprentice, stop!" After speaking, I pushed the lid of the coffin hard, I was scared enough, and stood on the side in a daze, but I knew in my heart that the things inside were alive, and there was no doubt about the corpse, the hand just now was cold and white, and it felt extremely hard, and it was by no means a master to be messed with.
I only felt a cold air rushing to my face, but there was no rancid smell in the coffin, and I carefully identified it, but there was a peculiar aroma, and for some reason, this smell seemed to be familiar, as if it was the "smell of herbs".
At this moment, each of us hangs our hearts. Da Zhuang held a short sword in one hand and a torch in the other hand to shine into the coffin, I was secretly ruthless in my heart, if the lord in the coffin was slightly wrong, I had to make up for it a few times, and then cremate it! Although Shunzi was stunned, he was afraid of the ghost, and he drew his bow and arrows, far away, as long as that thing dared to climb out, Shunzi would definitely be able to shoot it into a hedgehog.
Looking into the coffin by the light of the fire, I was stunned, there was a young girl lying inside, sixteen or seventeen years old, her skin was not rotten an inch, as if she was asleep, but her face was bloodless, her eyes were slightly closed, and her long eyelashes seemed to be moving slightly.
Looking carefully, this girl has picturesque eyebrows, a beautiful nose, sharp facial features, and although her face is pale, she still can't hide her extremely beautiful appearance.
I gasped, the more I looked at it, the more wrong it became, this girl was slender and slender, a typical woman from the Western Regions, wearing a sky blue silk silk flower cloud skirt, covered with cloud goose fine brocade clothes, wearing a golden hairpin and wearing a jade bracelet, this kind of high-quality clothing is not something that money can buy even in the Central Plains, how she looks like a girl from an ordinary rich family, but the funeral goods in the coffin are shabby and can no longer be shabby, they are all kinds of things such as bark licorice and gravel, and there is not even a pillow on the top of the head, Extremely incommensurate with what she was wearing.
