Chapter 386: Headless Body
The two of us lurked towards Azan's house, and in the dead of night, there was hardly any insect chirping in the trees, only the slight creaking of the leaves under our feet.
I was very nervous, and I wanted to talk to Zhu Qiang to distract myself, but Jun Xiaojiao didn't let me. Any fear and trepidation at this time is not his style, and it will be seen by Zhu Qiang.
We finally came to the bottom of a thatched hut, Zhu Qiang pulled out the knife, gently pried the window lattice with the knife, and then slowly opened it with his hands.
A gap opened in the wooden window. Looking through the gap, the room was black, there was no figure, and I could smell a very foul smell, like a rotting corpse.
Zhu Qiang hesitated, but turned on the flashlight and shone it in through the gap, the room was not large, and he could see that the corner of the wall was full of bottles and cans, and there was indeed no one.
He turned off his flashlight and pointed his finger to the next room, and we cautiously followed the base of the wall to the window of another room.
Zhu Qiang made a gesture, then took a deep breath, opened the window lattice with a knife, gently opened half of the window, and we looked inside together, and this look was shocking.
In the center of this room is a man standing in a very strange posture! The man leaned forward forty-five degrees, half-suspended in the air, unable to climb or down. I ran my throat up and down, and when I looked closely, I realized what was going on, and it turned out that the man's limbs were tied to ropes and hanging. It's like it's dead.
Zhu Qiang slowly stood up from under the window and shone a flashlight straight in.
The glare of the flashlight fell on the man, and we gasped at the same time. It was a woman, naked, with black hair hanging down, covering her face. The flashlight slipped over her, and the rest of the room was in deep darkness, so it looked clear.
Her skin is a grayish-white color that only a dead person can have, covered with corpse spots the size of black copper coins, and her whole person is suspended in the air by ropes, stiff like a puppet, and the scene looks like a Japanese horror movie.
Zhu Qiang held on to the windowsill and turned over and jumped in. I was a little scared, took a deep breath and followed.
We came to the corpse, and the air was filled with a strong rancid smell. But we are all old fritters, experienced in a hundred battles, and we are not afraid of the smell.
Zhu Qiang was bold, squatting next to the corpse, gently lifting her chin with her hands, the neck of the female corpse was as dry as an unoiled door shaft, and under Zhu Qiang's raised hand, she slowly raised her head.
Fighting back my fear, I slowly ripped her hair away with my dagger, revealing a face as white as paper. This woman is neither beautiful nor ugly, she looks quite young, she should be less than thirty years old. Zhu Qiang put her head to the side, pointed to her neck, and motioned for me to look.
Looking through the light, there was a clear wound on the female corpse's neck, and the skin was curled outward, like a child's lips. The wound was so deep that it looked fatal.
Zhu Qiang said: "See it, it's a tooth mark, which is bitten to death." ”
Jun Xiaojiao manipulated me and said, "The blood on her body should have been sucked up, this is a sacrifice of the flying head." ”
Zhu Qiang narrowed his eyes slightly, put his right hand on the forehead of the female corpse, gently recited the mental method, and recited a few words He opened his eyes: "The yin qi on the body has also been sucked away." ”
Jun Xiaojiao laughed: "This Azanyuan doesn't waste any corpse, first sucks the blood with a flying head, and then sucks away the corpse's yin qi and soul and turns it into his own use." ”
Zhu Qiang looked at the lower body of the female corpse: "Maybe this person will be alive when he sends it, and Azanyuan will have to enjoy it." ”
Jun Xiaojiao shook his head: "No." Practice flying head down, first of all, cut off human desire, and even eat and drink will be reduced, just drink a little gruel every day is enough, and there is no demand in that regard. ”
Zhu Qiang sighed and muttered, "Fortunately, I am also a cultivator who pursues the Great Dao, otherwise it would be difficult to understand that someone would give up so many temptations in the world to cultivate such an evil method." ”
"All roads lead to Rome," Jun Xiaojiao said, "No matter what method you practice, when you practice to the highest level, you will be free from the shackles of the physical body and achieve spiritual tranquility." This is also the most tempting. ”
Zhu Qiang looked at him: "You are not human, so you can't experience the pleasure of leaving the body and going straight to the spirit." ”
"Actually, it's very fateful to say," Jun Xiaojiao said, "I desperately sacrificed my body, and my purpose was to finally get rid of it one day." ”
"Let's talk about it for a while, now I'm going to find out where Azan is." Zhu Qiang interrupted Jun Xiaojiao, and he shone it with a flashlight.
"This corpse should have just died," Jun Xiaojiao said, "Ah Zanyuan is definitely digesting the yin qi of the female corpse, and now is the time when he is most vulnerable." ”
Zhu Qiang lit a flashlight in the house, took a look around, and found some strange-shaped magic weapons and a few dried corpses of little ghosts, but he didn't find Azanyuan otherwise.
"The last room." Jun Xiaojiao and Zhu Qiang said at the same time.
We climbed out of the back window, careful not to make a sound, to the last thatched hut. When I came to the back of the house, the window was unclosed and ajar. Jun Xiaojiao and Zhu Qiang glanced at each other, Zhu Qiang thought about it for a while, opened the window directly, and a beam of flashlight shone in.
In the bright light, this time we could all see clearly, on the ground in the middle of the room, a person meditating cross-legged. This man has no head!
The moment I saw it clearly, the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, and my scalp exploded.
This headless corpse is extremely strange, on such a hot day, although it is night, but we are wearing small vests are too hot, but the corpse is draped with a thick blanket, and the waist is fixed with a rope, and the whole person is tightly wrapped.
"Found it." Zhu Qiang said: "The head must have flown out to cultivate, and he will come back in a while." ”
"As long as you stop the flying head from coming back and connecting with the body before dawn, this person will definitely die!" Jun Xiaojiao said.
"Now there are two ways," Zhu Qiang said, "one is that we close the doors and windows here, so that we don't let Feitou come back and stay up until dawn, and the other way is to steal the body." ”
Jun Xiaojiao looked at him: "What do you think?" ”
Zhu Qiang smiled cruelly: "My plan is very simple, we will do both. ”
Zhu Qiang made a bad move, he took the corpse away and hid it, and asked Jun Xiaojiao to stay here to close the door and window, creating a false impression of holding the corpse hostage. When he came back, he would definitely try his best to enter the house, and after a long time, he broke the first checkpoint guarded by Jun Xiaojiao, but found that his body was not here, and it was too late to find it, Zhu Qiang didn't know how far he was with the body, and where he was hiding.
Jun Xiaojiao sneered: "You are quite strategic. ”
Zhu Qiang laughed: "The oldest wisdom of our Chinese is Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is not read in vain. ”
"Why don't you stay here and I hide the body?" I really couldn't help it, so I got rid of Jun Xiaojiao and asked Zhu Qiang.
Zhu Qiang looked at me: "This is really not a smart question, it is not like you at all." ”
Jun Xiaojiao laughed in my mind and said to me, "Actually, staying here is not necessarily risky. ”
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
Jun Xiaojiao said: "What is happening now is beyond ordinary expectations, you can't be sure of the flying head's ability and way of thinking, maybe it could have sensed where its body is, that body is a dynamite bag, whoever takes it and who blows it up, it is not dangerous to stay here." ”
Don't say that what he said is really reasonable, if you have a bet, you may not lose, Zhu Qiang and I may not be able to hang.
Zhu Qiang turned over and jumped into the house, walked over to the headless corpse, and suddenly a few things flew out of the darkness. Zhu Qiang reacted very quickly, rolled on the spot, hid under the windowsill, and saw four or five black things shooting out of the floor and sticking to the ceiling.
Zhu Qiang shone it with a flashlight and saw that it was a long black needle, which looked like it had been quenched with poison, firmly rooted in the roof, and its tail was still vibrating.
He looked at the ground carefully, only to see that there was a mechanism near the headless body, and a super elastic branch had been triggered, and it was still trembling slightly. Although Zhu Qiang said that he was an old Jianghu, he was also on the line of life and death just now, he took a deep breath and was a little afraid.
Azan is not far from a fuel-efficient lamp, and will use a mechanism to protect his body.
Zhu Qiang took off his shoes and threw them out along the floor, the shoes kept running around, and he didn't stop until he reached the headless body, and he didn't trigger other mechanisms.
Rao was like this, he still cautiously passed, for fear that there would be any more traps. Luckily, Azanyuan had only designed this one mechanism, and it seemed that he didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to break into his forbidden land.
Before arriving at the headless body, Zhu Qiang put on his shoes first, and then leaned over to carry his body, which looked light and fluttering, and seemed to have a handful of bones left.
He returned to the window and looked at me, and said softly, "If we can survive until dawn, I can consider helping you remove the demon charm behind you." ”
Jun Xiaojiao smiled, he controlled me, and a harrier turned over and climbed into the house from the windowsill very neatly.
Zhu Qiang jumped out with Azanyuan's headless body on his back, and then ran away along the dense grass with a cat's waist, and his figure disappeared into the dark woods.
I quickly closed the doors and windows, double-checked the locks and latches of the windows, thought that it was not safe, and found a large pile of bottles and cans in the house, all piled up behind the door.
After all the checking, I sat in the dark room, my heart pounding, looking at the place where the headless body had just sat and feeling a palpitation of gloom.
