Chapter 48: Tongue Leakage

The old sheepskin suddenly opened his mouth to tell us that when he used to be a tomb robber, he had heard of this kind of zombie born on the lice, I can't imagine that there is really this thing in the world, if it weren't for the water urchin in the golden well to save lives, now everyone has been dead for a long time, this kind of tick is actually not a living thing at all, the old yellow skin refining a big blood egg-like inner pill before his death, after death, the flesh and guts do not melt, giving birth to countless lice, which is the knot of its elves, such as the child and mother beads in the magnet, usually like dander attached to the corpse "hair", when angry and alive, water and fire can not be extinguished, Specializing in sucking the essence of the living, and then supplementing in the mother bead, the tick on a zombie can make no half of the living people left within a radius of more than ten miles, fortunately, the fat man stepped on the blood egg, otherwise although we have water urchins to save our lives, the ticks in the corpse of the yellow skin will continue to appear, until the souls of the living people in the vicinity are sucked clean, I am afraid that the people in this institute are defenseless against this, so they all lost their "sex" lives, or the "chairman" of the young people's lives, the old sheepskin thinks that he was with us to pick up a life, these mayflies are full of raw water, But the mother beads are destroyed, and it won't be long before they will dry up and dissipate, and there will be no more threat to the living.

I asked the old sheepskin what the hell was going on? Now it's really a bit foggy, I'm getting more and more confused, we have experienced these life and death tests, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, we want to die together, we have to live a bunch, there is no need to hide it anymore.

The old sheepskin struggled to get up from the water, and he admitted that although most of it had been told to us, there was something hidden in it, and that it was not yet the time to talk about it, and that it might not be safe in the golden well, and that it was not too late to leave it, and when it was out.

Everyone was soaked in the water in this water urch, although the whole body was cold and shivering, but the wound was not painful, and the body had a little strength, at this time I heard the old sheepskin say that there was still danger here, so I crawled out of the water like a chicken in the soup, and planned to go back to the building of the institute to find a few dry clothes to change, otherwise I would not be able to return home, just walked to the hole in the ground full of turtle bones, and listened to the bad wind in front of me, a large piece of black ash floated in front of me, and I grabbed it with my hand, and it was all the ointment in the dead body.

The sound of the evil wind from outside the cave of the corpse gathered the ghost crying and howling between heaven and earth, like a dragon's "groaning" of the long valley, shaking the cave wall for a while, and the black "color" of the cave sank into the air and floated, we waved away the black smoke that rushed to our faces, and felt that the fingers were slippery and greasy, all of which were hot grease, and we couldn't tell whether it was human fat or butter.

The old sheepskin shouted that it was not good, the demon dragon was about to return to its nest, and being swept away by this black wind was like being burned by the high temperature of the crematorium, and the big living people who were jumping "chaotically" would become ashes in an instant.

I know that this matter is not child's play, the feet do not stop, urging everyone to flee quickly, this turtle bone cave is a flat river, if blocked by the foehn in the cave, no one wants to live, the only way to survive is to rush before the shadowless and invisible demon wind appears, escape into the Yin River under the falling bridge, at this time who can still care about the cause and effect, all the things that can be thrown on the body are thrown away, and they rush forward lightly.

Outside the entrance of the cave, the movement of the ghosts crying at night became louder and louder, and we almost rushed to the edge of the bridge with rolling belts, and slipped along the smooth rocks on the side of the falling bridge into the cold and biting groundwater, but the water was not deep, not up to the chest, and the feeling of blind fish without eyes at the bottom of the water slipped past us, as if there were many cold and slippery strange hands on the body of the "chaos", which made people's hearts palpitate, and on the head was an endless hell karmic fire roaring and burning, as long as the head was "exposed" out of the water, the ears would hear a terrible hot wind whimpering and crossing.

We waited in the water for a long time, the wind stopped in the hole on the bridge of the water, and the four of us poked our heads out of the Yin River in a wet and drenched manner, until we confirmed that it was really safe, and then we trembled and crawled back to the bridge, shivering all over our bodies, our upper teeth beat our lower teeth, and we couldn't open our mouths if we wanted to speak, so we had to "grope" out of the hole, and in the huge corpse cave outside, almost all the corpses were blown by the foehn wind, turning into black "color" ashes, which is exactly the same as the legend of the turtle's sleeping place, The corpses buried in the turtle bone cave were all feathered in the end, and not even a single bone residue remained.

We went back the same way, at this time the fire under the institute had been extinguished, the fire did not spread to the upper floors, in a house upstairs, we wanted to pick up a few dead people's clothes to change, but felt that the clothes could not be worn, so we had to do it, so we lit a fire in the middle of the building to keep warm, in that Yin River were frozen to the face of the pale, lips blue, remembering this experience in the Hundred Eyes Cave, it was really unbearable to look back, especially when the old sheepskin saw the body of his brother Yang Erdan, which had been burned along with many dead people in the basement, He is very disgusted with cremation, in Shaanxi hometown has always been a burial, after dying was buried by a handful of loess, only worthy of the ancestors, "into the soil for peace" The idea is deep-rooted, at this moment the half bag of tobacco leaves hanging on the cigarette pouch pot is also soaked, away from the tobacco is even more restless, shaking his head for a while, sighing for a while, I don't know what he is thinking in his heart.

The fat man didn't care about what happened today, and persuaded everyone: "How can you look at you all depressed and listless, aren't we still alive and well, this time not only appreciated the cruel and ruthless power of nature, but also honed their own perseverance to a great extent, what is this little situation, you know, the torrent of revolutionary struggle has just begun, the sea is crossing, in the future in the Sino-American battlefield, we will show our real heroic nature." ”

I was in a lot of turmoil, I was looking down and thinking about my thoughts, I didn't pay attention to the fat man who sang a high-pitched voice, only Ding Sitian was busy checking the wounds for everyone, although the wound on my shoulder was deep, but fortunately it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, as long as it was not infected and inflamed, there should be no danger, but the fat man's neck was bitten off a piece of meat by the old sheepskin, the injury was not light, and the body movement was large, and the wound would be pulled and bleeding out, but he was like a black bear with a thick body of meat, and the iron bull seemed to be naughty all over his body, and he didn't take these injuries to heart.

The fat man found that the wound on Ding Sitian's palm had not healed, it was still left when he grabbed the knife in the tree hole, and along the way, four people were trapped in the tree hole, and it was the most dangerous when facing the two yellow skins that could make mind reading, and now in retrospect, if it weren't for the narrow terrain and special environment, he would really have to be buried in the old tree hole.

The fat man was unforgiving, he asked the old sheepskin to take a good look at the wound on Ding Sitian's hand, such a tender and beautiful little hand, cut by the knife and almost saw the bones, this is all a good thing done by the old sheepskin, if he told the truth earlier, it would not have made everyone almost take a good "life", but until now, this hateful, disguised as a poor middle peasant, full of class bitterness of the old sheepskin, seems to have a belly of conspiracy and tricks not confessed to everyone, it is really annoying and hateful, it seems that he is determined to be martyred for the landlord class, It is necessary to call on the revolutionary masses to act and to convene a congress of reasoning and struggle against him.

Ding Sitian disagrees with the fat man's point of view: "'Mao' and 'Chairman' have repeatedly emphasized that we must adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts, everyone must be equal in the face of truth, and in the case of unclear truth, we must never be arbitrary and oppress the people like a warlord. ”

The fat man said to Ding Sitian: "The principle you said is only applicable to the internal contradictions of the people, and there is absolutely no room for reconciliation on the issue of the line. After speaking, he turned his head and asked me: "Lao Hu, you also make a statement, do you pay attention to what I said?" ”

I said to the fat man and Ding Sitian: "It is said that the cow ran away and lost it has nothing to do with me, but in the past two days, we have not even blinked our eyes from birth to death, and no one has been a turtle with a shrunken head, why is this?" I think it is because we believe that the old sheepskin is three generations of extreme poverty, and that we educated youths are heart-to-heart with the poor middle peasants, and we cannot write two proletarians in one stroke, and I do not agree with the views you just said, although I have reservations about the class composition of the old sheepskin, and even very suspicious of the motives of what he did, and I don't know what kind of "medicine" he sells in his gourd, but I also feel extremely nervous, worried, and uneasy about your excesses just now, because this does not conform to the basic objective attitude of the specific analysis of the specific problems of Marxism-Leninism. ”

The fat man still insisted on fighting, and shouted: "Old Hu, I'll '' your second uncle, what kind of objectivity and attitude do you want to mention to me, you are engaging in the eclecticism of 'naked' and 'naked'!" If you say it, you don't say it, I want you to show your attitude from the position of a descendant of a revolutionary soldier! ”

Just when the three of us were struggling with each other, the old sheepskin suddenly said, "Don't fight, what are you fighting?" I don't want to hide some of my words from you, but I'm afraid that the head of the organization will know......"

This is so unexpected, we don't know how the old sheepskin suddenly pulled Chief Ni, could it be that he also has an unknown relationship with this Hundred Eyes Cave? stopped talking for a while, and let the old sheepskin explain this matter clearly, otherwise he would go back to the pastoral area and be interrogated, and there would really be no way to explain.

According to the old sheepskin, it turned out that he didn't want to hide any facts from us, but in that era when all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods swept away, even a person like him, who did not have a high sense of struggle and enthusiasm, knew that some things could not be said "indiscriminately", and if he did, he would become the target of public criticism, and what he concealed were some things that could not be clarified with materialist truth.

The reason why the old sheepskin knows everything about the situation in the Hundred Eyes Cave is because his brother Yang Erdan found the copper coffin and brought it to the Japanese Army Research Institute in the Hundred Eyes Cave and then his whereabouts are unknown. For example, there are no legends on this mountain, whether there are any ruins, through these clues, one can find the location of the ancient tomb, and the other can also understand what dangers are around the ancient tomb from the side.

The old sheepskin picked up countless "tongue leaks" in the nearby mountainous pastoral areas, pieced together these scattered folklore, and then filtered and eliminated them according to previous experience, and gradually learned some of the inside stories in the Hundred Eyes Cave.

In fact, the "Hundred Eyes Cave" is not the Xianbei people's hidden corpse cave at all, and there are very few Xianbei people's corpses in it, but the Hundred Eyes Cave is indeed the same as the Gaxian Cave, which is the two holy places that represent yin and yang, life and death, because the ancestors who lived in this land found that many giant turtles were buried here, and there were often fairy scenes of the palace building appeared in the cave, the ancients did not know that this was the ghost market produced by the sea air in the tortoise shell, and thought that this was the destination of people going to the netherworld after death, but the nomads have always advocated heavenly burial, and the concept of entering the earth for peace is not strong, However, many ethnic groups with different cultural backgrounds and religious beliefs come here to worship the mountain.

Until there is a kind of "Yuanjiao" near the Great Xing'an Mountains, Yuan is Huang, the great immortal worshiped is Yuan Daxian, the word "Huang" is golden, so it is called "Yuan" without saying Huang, it was once very prosperous, there are countless believers, the Yuanjiao Great Witch is said to be the female human form of Huang Daxian, wearing a mask all day long and sitting in the hall, good men and women worship and worship, and respond to requests.

In fact, the so-called Huang Daxian Gu is just a nameless female corpse made into a human skin shell, and the gods put the old yellow skin in it, and use illusion Gu to "confuse" the people, but the old sheepskin doesn't know this section, he also said that the female corpse is really the remains of Huang Taixian, but the fat man and I have seen this kind of hollow human skin under the yellow skin grave and in the secret room, and know the strange place.

The old sheepskin listened to me talk about the human skin puppet, and also had a sense of sudden enlightenment, and then he intermittently talked about the Yuanjiao, the Yuanjiao absorbed a lot of local witchcraft in the Northeast, such as the great god of jumping, the great god of jumping is the shaman, but the act is very secretive, and then the scope of activities gradually expanded to the grassland, the Hundred Eyes Cave is the key place connecting the grassland and the desert, at that time near the mountain pass often people and animals disappeared things happen, after the death of Wong Tai Sin, the god stick of the Yuanjiao declared that there was a ghost dragon underground, from the underworld to the devil to make trouble, As long as the bones of Wong Tai Sin are buried in the Hundred Eyes Cave, the soul of this dragon can be suppressed, so they built a tomb with a golden well "hole" and buried Wong Tai Sin in it, in fact, they did this in order to occupy this treasure land where the turtle remains are buried and the condensation of raw water, and preach that the believers in the religion give up money and things, and bury them here after death, and they can be feathered and soared, and as a result, many people have poured out their family wealth, and the servants are like clouds for a while, and in two hundred years, I don't know how many dead people have been buried in the Hundred Eyes Cave.

The Wong Tai Sin referred to by the Yuan Sect is actually the female corpse with an empty shell, and there is a soul conjuring copper box, which contains an old weasel whose corpse has changed, and the soul conjuring box is hidden in the golden well, and there are some yellow skins nearby, specially guarding this soul conjuring box, it is said that the souls of all the dead in this big tomb will be included in this box, if the widow of the family needs to talk to someone who has been dead for many years, as long as the Yuan Sect gold bead is paid, Wong Tai Sin can summon the soul back through this copper box.

After the heyday of the Yuan religion, it was finally suppressed by the ruling class, and gradually declined, the remnants of the sect took the soul box to hide back to the deep mountains and old forests of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and built the Wong Tai Sin Temple to continue to engage in their secret work, at that time there was a gold vein in the mountain, and there were a lot of gold diggers, because there was a saying that the gold in the mountains was hidden by the yellow skin a long time ago, so the gold diggers had to burn incense to Wong Tai Sin to make offerings, and the incense of the Wong Pi Zi Temple rose again.

But the good times are not long, because there are a few bold people who are curious, and secretly go to see the things in the copper box of Wong Tai Sin, but many people died around, and the golden veins in the mountains do not know whether they are dug up or run away with long legs, and they disappeared without a trace, and then there was a mudslide buried in the Wong Tai Sin Temple, and no one has ever seen the things inside, just because of this incident, the mound in Tuanshanzi is called the Huangpizi Tomb, but there are too few people who know the origin of this name, and the old sheepskin also inadvertently got this "tongue leakage".

Later, the Kwantung Army set up a secret unit specializing in the study of murder weapons, and declared that the water epidemic prevention force was very interested in this legend, thinking that this box was a mysterious and ancient weapon, and the excavation in the Hundred Eyes Cave was not found, so they bought the Han "traitor" to search around, and finally they got it, but after the copper box was brought to the Hundred Eyes Cave, it was followed by a huge disaster, and there was no living mouth, as for how the people in the research institute died, then there are many possibilities "sex", It is not necessarily that all of them were sucked out of anger by the mayflies in the copper coffin and died, and it may even be those yellow-skinned people with white "hair" all over their bodies, and they were born to know that the ancestors who contained them in the coffin followed all the way, killing all the living people in the Hundred Eyes Cave overnight, with their weird and terrible means, it is by no means impossible to do such a thing, from this point of view, the yellow skin can also be regarded as a contribution to the fight against the sun, of course, this is just our guess after the fact, unless the dead are resurrected, tell us everything that happened that day, Otherwise, there will never be a real answer, in short, not a single living person in the research institute is dead, and it must be related to the bandits of the Mu'er Society who brought this box in.

Although the old sheepskin knew that the conjuring box fell into the Hundred Eyes Cave, and his own brother Yang Erdan Bacheng also died in it, he has not been able to muster up the courage to enter these years, because after all, it is the legendary "ghost yamen" where the living have no entry and exit, so he has stayed on the grassland to do odd jobs and make a living, until after the liberation, he was given an element of extreme poverty, and became a herdsman in the pastoral area, so he had no chance to go to the Hundred Eyes Cave again.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and there are disasters in all pastoral areas this year, only this grassland is peaceful, and it has become a typical example of grasping the revolution and promoting production, and the "Chief Ni" sent to send a directive that there are still large areas of idle pasture near Mobei, and they should make full use of it, and move a group of affected herdsmen to spend the winter famine over there with their livestock.

The old sheepskin was frightened when he heard this, because of all kinds of sensational legends over the years, no one has really entered the hilly jungle of the Hundred Eyes Cave, once a herdsman moved over, the Revolutionary Committee would sooner or later find that there was a soul box hidden in the mountain, and nothing else would be enough, the soul of the sheep and the two eggs was still locked inside, and in addition, he could not watch the deaths happen, but how dare he say it directly, he was worried, the cattle suddenly escaped in the morning, he had to take us to chase the cattle, the more he didn't want to go into the Hundred Eyes Cave and go deeper, Until he saw the corpse of Yang Erdan wrapped in ginseng, he lost control of his emotions for a while, and he was almost about to open the soul summoning box to summon his soul, but fortunately he was stopped by the fat man in time.

When we were tired and fell asleep, the old sheepskin slept less, and woke up after a while, he didn't fight in vain for a few years, and when it came to getting out, he broke the belt that tied his hands and feet with a knife, and sneaked back to the secret room, and cried about the corpse of the sheep and eggs.

The fat man listened to the old sheepskin say miserably, and suddenly his heart softened, and he "interjected" and persuaded: "When you are a bandit, a traitor and die, it is lighter than the ...... of Hong 'Mao'" Ding Sitian was afraid that the fat man would not choose what to say, and then said some nonsense about the "messy" and pierced the old sheepskin's sore spot, so he raised his hand and pinched his mouth.

The old sheepskin sighed long, the death is indeed lighter than the Hong "Mao", the death of the name, Yan Guo left a voice, if the death is worse than the Hong "Mao", it is also a great sorrow, in the second time back to the secret room to see the dead body of the sheep and eggs, the old sheepskin finally woke up a little, this person's way is out of his own way, persuaded him no less than a hundred times thousands of times, a biological brother, it is also considered to be benevolent to him, the old sheepskin is worried that in a few days the matter of the Hundred Eyes Cave will be exposed, Afraid that this box would be opened by people who did not know the truth and hurt the innocent "life", he decided to bury it in the golden well under the turtle bone cave, but inadvertently broke the copper coffin, and in a hurry took everyone to jump off the golden well to survive, only to escape from death, and Wong Tai Sin's soul box was completely destroyed.

When I heard this, I think that the bronze coffin containing the corpse of the old weasel can summon the soul, now I am afraid it is difficult to judge whether it exists, in the early years, the gods and goddesses had similar methods of deceiving and eating and drinking, and the matter of recruiting the unjust soul to be imprisoned has been around since ancient times, who knows whether it is true or not, but I would rather think that this is a deceptive illusion, otherwise people will not be able to be liberated after death, and the people above can spend money to make people pull you back and nag, this situation is really unacceptable to me, a materialist.

The old sheepskin didn't tell us in detail about the conjuring spirit and Wong Tai Sin, in fact, he was worried that Chief Ni would know, although he didn't understand the situation of the struggle, but he also understood that it would be over if he buttoned his hat, not only could he not eat and walk, but his son's family also had to be implicated. In the eyes of those phase togglers, the water in the golden well is the gathering of dragon energy, the dragon spits out the heavenly pulp, has the power to resurrect the dead, and the shadowless and formless dragon qi in the mouth of the Hundred Eyes Cave comes from this, in his eyes, the dragon qi that devours living beings is a real dragon. Speaking of this, the old sheepskin stretched out his clenched fist, spread out his palm, and "revealed" a bronze eyeless dragon talisman, which was placed in front of everyone for everyone to see, and told us the last "tongue leak".
