Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Strange Baby
"Does it smell of blood?"
For Zhang Chen, if it is a flesh-and-blood ghost, it will be twice the result with half the effort. @, it's just that when I sensed the past, I didn't find any flesh-and-blood living creatures, all of them were dead things.
"I'll go ahead."
Zhang Chen blocked Lu Sheng on his side with his hand, and he walked in the forefront, after all, Lu Sheng was still a classmate in his eyes, and if his strength was not good, he would be in trouble.
As he slowly approached the exit, the smell of blood became more and more solemn, but in this wisp of blood, there was also the breath of a ghost thing, the breath was faint but the quality was at the level of a high-level ghost thing.
However, when Zhang Chen stepped out, there was no scene he imagined, that is, the monster with ten hands and three heads depicted on the stone tablet.
Outside the exit was a small circular room, and in the center was a large grinding table that was turning at a slow pace. The huge grinding table is divided into three layers, and on top of it stands a little boy who is one meter two tall, apparently the boy in the mouth of Tao Chong and the village chief.
"Ordinary high-level ghosts?" Zhang Chen didn't act rashly for the time being, because when he came in, the little boy glanced at him but didn't stop his movements.
At this time, the little boy was holding a corpse and slowly putting it into the grinding port on the top of the grinding table, the first layer of the three grinding tables basically crushed the corpse into minced meat and bone pieces, the second layer separated the bone pieces from the flesh and continued to grind, and the third layer completely grinded out thick blood to let it flow into a hole with metal rim in the ground.
"Swallow!"
The little boy was a ghostly creature with a spirit body, Zhang Chen unexpectedly raised his right arm, a mouth grew out between the palms of his hands, and Senbai's teeth snapped up and down.
Zhang Chen used this trick to kill a lot of ghosts in half a year, and he was able to win by surprise every time. This time, however, it was a business trip. The little boy standing on the mill was unharmed. He didn't make any moves, and the reason was not that the boy blocked Zhang Chen's attack.
Instead, at the moment when the mouth of Zhang Chen's palm was bitten, a large pile of rotten meat grew out of the metal-trimmed hole under the grinding table, causing Zhang Chen to swallow a pile of rotten meat in one bite.
However, after the rotten meat blocked Zhang Chen's attack, the little boy who was standing on the grinding table made an extremely terrifying move, and the boy actually stepped into the grinding table with his own feet. Let the slow-moving grinding table crush your body.
Zhang Chen also saw the special nature of this grinding table, which was engraved with countless runes, although the little boy was voluntary, but the grinding table was able to directly squeeze the high-level ghost objects of the spirit body to the discrete ghost qi and grind the main consciousness, which was really incredible.
"We're just in the right place, and if you're guessing correctly, the boy willingly blends himself into the big thing that's being suppressed below."
After Lu Sheng finished speaking very leisurely, the blood on the grinding table mixed with the ghostly spirit of the boy had completely flowed into the circular passage with metal trim. And I heard 'Bang! With a loud bang, the circular passage was closed.
"It seems that this underground passage is not only a place to seal the big guy, but also a place for him to eat. According to the village chief, cattle and sheep will be offered at the entrance of the cave every festival, and these beasts will slowly come to the center of the mill along the circular passage under the traction of the big guy's consciousness, and throw themselves into the mill to become food for the big things. ”
But the arrival of the boy made the guy who had been sealed below for an unknown amount of time, and who had long forgotten the delicious human flesh and blood, taste the real delicacy again. And in these days, the boy is constantly delivering fresh humans as food. In order to awaken the desire of the big guy below for lovers. ”
"Unfortunately, the time is ripe today, and this ambitious boy also wants to be part of the big guy down there. Or rather, complete control of him. Lu Sheng's analytical skills were an eye-opener for Zhang Chen.
"Do you want to go down now?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Naturally, I want to go down, and if I let the boy fully merge with the guy below, it will be more troublesome to deal with. It's just that this sealed land can trap the big guy for decades or even hundreds of years, and it's probably not so easy for us to go down, so let's try to find out if there is an exit switch to the bottom. ”
Zhang Chenyi strode to the metal-trimmed hole where the flesh had been poured before, and brute force continued to gush out. Neither the spiritual power nor the ghost's ability could shake this opening, leaving only a few traces.
"Look around this room."
Following Lu Sheng's words, Zhang Chen raised his head to look at the square room, but on the wall was a huge image engraved with copper material.
From the left-hand side of the entrance, a large picture scroll unfolds around the entire rotunda. The content of the scroll is naturally related to the cone-shaped stone block in the cave.
But the story in the scroll seems to tell the origin of the monster.
…………
Late Qing Dynasty
Xiushan Village was originally a relatively prosperous small county town, and as an extremely important hub between the two cities, the living conditions of the local residents were extremely affluent.
However, on a thunderstormy night, at the county magistrate's house in the county, his wife, who was only six months pregnant, broke her amniotic water and gave birth to a baby the size of two eggs. Moreover, the midwife at that time was directly frightened to the ground after successfully separating the baby from the mother's body.
In addition to the normal arms, the baby also gave birth to three extra hands on the chest and navel. Not only that, but there is also a distorted face on the back of the baby's head, with a mouth, eyes, and nose all over the body.
The two maids serving in the room were also frightened by the strange baby and were speechless.
At this time, the county order can be said to have a son in his old age, and the fifty-eight-year-old county order saw his son for the first time, although he was deformed, he was still loved in every way.
The midwife, who was frightened on the ground, pointed to the freak in the hands of the prefectural commander and said, "This child is a strange baby born by evil spirits into the woman's body, and it must not be raised as an adult." ”
Who knows, after hearing this sentence, the easy-going county magistrate on weekdays was furious, and directly picked up the thin sword on the table and cut off the midwife's head. This move directly frightened the maids serving on both sides into fainting.
A day later, the county magistrate naturally secretly found the best local doctor to see if he could help his child become a normal person. The doctor who came to the doctor thought that the extra arms on the child's body were just some protrusions of tissue lesions and differentiation, but when he found that the baby could control the five arms freely, the doctor was so frightened that he immediately dismissed him.
In the eyes of the prefectural order, no matter what the baby looks like, it is his own child.
But as time passes, more and more strange things are revealed to the baby. First things first, eating from the birth of the baby has become a big problem.
When the child's mother feeds her breast milk, the baby does not eat a drop. The family brought fresh milk from a dairy farmer, but the baby still refused to eat it. The county order is very troubled for this matter, no matter what food is placed in front of the baby, it is not eaten.
On the third day, the hungry baby crawled out of the room on its own, came to the kitchen, plucked the feathers of a rooster trapped in the corner, and swallowed it all into its belly. The next day, the incident was immediately discovered, and the family slowly learned that the baby was eating only raw food.
The second thing is that after the baby was named Qu Ping, the face on the back of his head began to speak.
Whenever someone calls the name Qu Ping, it is often not the mouth in front of them that answers, but the mouth in the back. And as time went by, the family also found that the front and back faces were not managed in a unified manner, but rather like two separate people.
However, the control of the whole body still depends on the face in front of him, and the head in the back of the head is only able to think and speak independently.
And the county magistrate, whose mentality is already a little distorted, actually regarded this phenomenon as his wife giving birth to a pair of twins.
However, even the county magistrate with a distorted mentality knows the strictness of such a thing, and he absolutely forbids his children to be known to the outside world. In this feudal era, if the child's affairs are spread outside, it is very likely to take the life of his own child.
Time passed day by day, after all, paper could not contain the fire.
The news of his child spread to Changsha overnight, but unfortunately Governor Sima was in Changsha on business, and after hearing this terrible rumor, he also rushed to this small county town with curiosity.
Although the county commander tried his best to cover it up, the governor was not a half-official position of the county commander, but several official positions.
The governor directly ordered his personal guards to search the entire prefectural mansion, and soon found it in the room in the backyard on the first floor. When the governor came to Qu Ping's room in the backyard accompanied by his personal guards, he smelled the smell of blood all over the room and saw the child lying on the bed, with five hands and two faces in front and back, the governor immediately regarded this child as a demonic thing and became murderous.
The prefectural commander, blinded by the madness, made a threatening move against the governor, and the director was killed on the spot by the pro-guards.
Looking at his dead father, Qu Ping's back head immediately showed a fierce look, and he tore the necks of the two guards in front of him. With five hands and two legs, the crawling speed was extremely fast, and it was enough to kill the seven guards who were caught off guard.
And Governor Sima has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and when he was bitten off two fingers by a small thing, he pierced his chest with a sword. Then he ordered someone to hand over the freak to the local temple to get rid of the evil in the body.
The governor returned to Changsha due to his injuries, and the body of the strange baby left in the local temple was recited by nine eminent monks, including the presiding officer, that night to surpass the evil things in his body.
However, after returning to Changsha to recuperate overnight, the governor asked his subordinates about Xiushan County, but the subordinates' answers made the governor pale with fright, and he immediately decided to prepare horses and dry food to return to the imperial capital.
In one night, all the monks in the entire temple were killed...... To be exact, it should have been eaten, but the body of the strange baby was missing. (To be continued......)
