Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Peachwood Sword and the Willow Wood Nails
This thing is seven points like a monkey and three points like a human, covered in blood red, like a rabbit that has just been skinned, and its facial features are similar to those of an ugly child, except that it has no nose, has a big open mouth, and shows a mouthful of fangs.
It just looked at us, its eyes shining green.
What the fuck is this monster! I was horrified.
The five of them walked to the outer window of the living room, which was so small that they could only climb out one by one. Uncle Wang went out with half of his body, and stretched back an arm to pull me up.
I don't have any fucking hair on my mouth, and I can't do anything! As soon as he stretched out his hand, his foot slipped and he held on to the window. This time it was a bad thing, and I happened to touch the glass bottle that was placed on the windowsill.
The sound of the glass bottle shattering was so piercing in the quiet of the night that I was startled. This is an emergency, Uncle Wang who was riding on the window and Captain Zhang behind me were stunned, I didn't expect such a play to be inserted in the escape interpretation.
All three of them looked at the monster at the same time.
When I looked, there was no longer a monster in the doorway, but three or four huddled together, all looking at us with their fangs bared, followed by a strange hissing sound.
Captain Zhang reacted quickly and shouted, "Run!" And he turned and pushed me.
When people are afraid, their physical potential is easily forced out, it was a one-and-a-half-meter-high windowsill, I didn't run, I jumped on it, followed by several gunshots, and an extremely piercing scream.
"Captain Zhang, hurry!" I rode on the window and held out my hand in.
I've grabbed Captain Zhang's outstretched hand, but I can't pull it at all! it! When I looked down, I saw several red monkeys clinging to his legs.
The thing was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, Captain Zhang's legs were already blurred with flesh and blood. He tried to shoot, but found that the gun was out of ammunition.
Captain Zhang let out a scream, and I watched as he was pounced on by several red monkeys, and then several of them pounced.
it! I scolded, and I wanted to jump down again, but I was stopped by Uncle Wang.
"Don't be impulsive! He's hopeless. ”
I was pulled down by Uncle Huang, dragged and ran out, and when I passed two big locust trees, I accidentally glanced at it and saw that the black coffin was open at this time, and the coffin lid was two meters away.
The four men did not stop until they climbed off the wall and ran for a few hundred meters.
I was out of breath after this sudden jump, and Lao Huang and Mrs. Mingyue were also panting, but Uncle Wang's breathing was still very steady, as if he didn't exert his strength just now.
"Did you see that just now? The coffin ......"
"I've seen it a long time ago, blame me and my senior sister for underestimating the enemy - there's something in that coffin!"
"Something? What's that! I asked, but my eyes kept looking at Han Laosan's yard, afraid that those red monkeys would catch up. In addition to extreme fear in my heart, I also have some self-blame, Captain Zhang should be finished, looking at the ferocious appearance of those monsters, I am afraid that there are no bones left now.
Lao Huang said: "When we saw the big locust tree and coffin in the yard, my senior sister and I should have thought of what was inside!" ”
Mrs. Mingyue also nodded: "Yes!" That's a corpse coffin, I really didn't expect it, ten years later, there are still people who understand these crooked arts. ”
Raising a corpse coffin? The first time I heard the name.
Uncle Wang seemed to have heard it, but he was still at a loss: "What is that red monkey-like thing!" ”
"Imp! It's a kind of corpse refiner's pet! Lao Huang thought for a moment and replied.
As soon as I heard the word "ghost", I subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Mingyue and thought: Aren't you two Taoist priests who specialize in exorcism!
Master Mingyue seemed to know what I was thinking, and smiled slightly: "We can deal with this thing, but we need two magic weapons!" ”
"What magic weapon?"
"Peachwood sword, willow spike."
…………
After resting for a few minutes, we didn't dare to lean over when we saw the red monkey, but we didn't dare to go back.
A few people first went to the ancestral hall in the village, and Mingyue Shi was too worried that the bodies of the two policemen would catch up again, so he wanted to paste a corpse talisman.
On the way, Lao Huang talked about what happened just now.
"Ten years ago, there were also such red monkeys, but at that time there were only two, and he nailed them to death with willow nails."
"Where did this monster come from?" I asked
"It's stillborn! The corpse refiner uses a very evil sorcery to refine the stillborn into a ghost, just like some people have dogs and cats. ”
I nodded as if I understood.
Thinking of the black coffin, I asked again: "What is a corpse coffin?" Uncle Wang also tilted his head and listened.
"Keeping a coffin is also an act of witchcraft, you can understand it as raising a corpse in a coffin, and the corpse here is not a dead corpse as it is usually called, but a living corpse."
"Living corpses? What is a living corpse? ”
"That's it...... It's like your grandmother ......" When Lao Huang said this, he glanced at Uncle Wang meaningfully.
Lao Huang said that the living corpse is between the living and the dead, and there are many types, there is a kind of living corpse that needs to rely on the continuous absorption of yang energy to "continue life", and must stay in a place with heavy yin qi for several hours every day, under the locust tree, the willow coffin is a place with extremely heavy yin qi.
The cultivators who exorcised ghosts and onmyoji were all frightened by this kind of living corpse, because to be precise, he was not a ghost, and the exorcism spells of the people in the Dao Gate did not work on her at all, and it was not easy to distinguish, and it usually looked like a living corpse was exactly the same as a normal living person.
Uncle Wang asked: "I always thought that Han Laosan was behind the scenes, so looking at it this way, he is also a chess piece?" ”
Lao Huang smiled: "It seems that you two didn't understand how he died - remember the hole in his chest?" Isn't that weird? ”
Hole? I recalled the scene at that time, there was a fist-sized blood hole in Han Laosan's chest, the blood had coagulated, the hole was irregular, and the skin and flesh were still turning out.
Flesh turned out? All of a sudden, my pores opened up, and no matter what sharp weapon I used, the hole would not be so rough! The flesh is even less likely to be turned outward.
What's going on? Unless there is a possibility, the hole in the blood is formed from the inside out—but how is this possible! It can't be Han Laosan's heart burst out by itself, right?
I couldn't figure it out, and finally my eyes were fixed on Lao Huang's face.
"It's a Gu worm!" Lao Huang said these three words very calmly, but I felt like my mind had exploded.
The so-called old seedlings, the so-called Gu, in my mind, is like Jingwei reclamation, Dayu water control, belongs to the legendary things, full of mystery, who knew that this summer suddenly rushed into my life in an extremely frightening way.
Hearing the word Gu worm, Uncle Wang and I looked at each other.
Lao Huang continued: "Look at the blood hole in his chest, this Han Laosan has been in the Gu for many years, and he has long become someone else's tool. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Uncle Wang again: "Xiao Wang, didn't you say that you have seen him digging graves in the middle of the night many times?" ”
Uncle Wang nodded.
"This is controlled by Gu worms, looking for food for the things in the dark room!"
