When the human skin wrapped in the lamp appeared in front of our eyes, Li Huaishan was obviously greatly frightened, and I felt his body tremble violently.

I grabbed him by the shoulder and motioned for him to calm down.

Li Huaishan's shoulders were also trembling faintly, but he tensed the muscles on his body again, trying to calm his body, I know, he didn't want to show comfort in front of me.

This guy is really stubborn.

When he had mostly calmed down, I pulled him in and carefully followed the crowd.

These people were indeed very stiff when walking, but when they reached the edge of the canyon, they quickly climbed the rock wall, holding a lantern in one hand, and freed the other hand and two feet, and moved from side to side on the slippery rock wall, more nimble than apes.

But even when they were climbing quickly on the stone wall, I couldn't feel the slightest breath of life from them.

What the hell are these guys?

It wasn't until the last "person" climbed to the top of the valley that I took Li Huaishan to run two steps quickly and came to the bottom of the valley wall.

Li Huaishan didn't know what he was anxious about, he raised his hands and feet and was about to climb up, I quickly pulled him and signaled him not to move lightly, and then pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement on the top of the valley.

At first, the neat footsteps of the crowd could be heard, but it didn't take long for the sound to suddenly fade away.

I didn't hurry to continue to delay, and immediately carried Li Huaishan on my shoulders and climbed up the valley wall.

The air is humid, and there are a lot of water droplets hanging on the rocks on the valley wall, and with Li Huaishan's skills, I am afraid that he will not be able to climb up. Actually, don't say it's him, even I have slipped a few times and almost fell, but fortunately, my upper body strength is strong enough, and one hand is enough to stabilize my body.

When I reached the top of the valley, I didn't dare to climb up rashly, so I let Li Huaishan pick up the wall by himself, and then carefully straightened up and stuck half of his head out of the ground.

There was a lantern less than five meters away from me, and there was no wind outside the valley, but the lantern was still shaking, and the human skins were shaking back and forth so irregularly.

In those "people", I really don't feel a trace of life, but the skin of the lantern exudes the breath of life from time to time, like something that is constantly swaying in front of my eyes, from time to time human skin lanterns, but living people hanging from the lamp branches.

On either side of the crowd, are two very dense thickets.

There was no wind, but a cluster of bushes in the distance was swaying in the shadows.

At first I thought it was a hallucination caused by the flickering of the fire, but as time passed, the lantern shook less and less, and the light of the fire gradually stabilized, but the bush shook more and more violently, but did not make a sound.

What's in the bushes?

As I thought so, I quietly moved my body up so that my whole face was exposed to the ground, trying to see more clearly.

Li Huaishan didn't know when he climbed up, and he also saw the constantly shaking bushes, so he raised his hand as soon as he saw it and pointed over there.

I knew he was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see it, and he was reminding me, but the stone wall we were living on was too smooth, and he was so big that it was easy to fall.

Seeing that I didn't respond, he pointed at the bush again, and I could only reach out and grab his shoulder to remind him not to move.

After a few more moments, there was a slight "Sisuo" sound from the shaking bush, and then a lantern came out of it.

The surrounding lanterns were all red like blood, but the lantern that had just come out of the bushes lit up with yellow fire, and in such an atmosphere, the normal fire light became extremely abnormal.

After the lantern appeared, two arms and a leg stretched out from the bushes, and in about four or five seconds, an old man with a slightly rickety figure came out of it.

He slowly straightened up, his eyes swept back and forth in the crowd, and I immediately pulled Li Huaishan to dive.

"Happy God borrows the way, and the living avoid it!"

There was a dull shout in the distance, and after that, I heard the footsteps of the brush again.

The shouting must have come from the old man, who had just crawled out of the bushes, his voice was also a little hoarse, but not dry, and his breath was relatively normal when he spoke.

But what really cared about me wasn't his voice, it was what he said.

Rejoice in the way of God, and avoid the living. This is a singing lyric of the Xiangxi corpse chaser when he is chasing yin and yang.

The so-called chasing yin into yang, to put it bluntly, is to drive the corpse past the inhabited place.

Boss Wen in the old alley of the thrift store is a corpse chaser, and I also heard about their lineage from Boss Jiang and Yan Yanan.

I heard that there are two interpretations of the word "Xishen", one is a homonym for "dead", and the other is that the word Xishen refers to those special corpses that have not undergone corpse transformation and have been forcibly picked up by corpse expulsors.

This kind of corpse can walk on its own under the guidance of the corpse chaser, but it is unconscious, and it will not hurt people, and it is considered a harmless evil corpse between white and purple zombies.

But if the corpse chaser wants the dead to forcibly raise the corpse, he needs to rely on telekinesis to perform some spells, but in that old man, I can't feel the slightest remnant of telekinesis.

In addition, outside of his appearance, the "people" in the stockade can walk on the ground, and they can also shout at the top of their voices, so they are not happy gods.

The old man was not in a hurry, and he had no telekinesis, but he had the unique lyrics of the corpse chaser, which was very abnormal.

And he is the only person with vitality in his body except for me and Li Huaishan—a real living person.

At this moment, another voice came from the top of the valley: "Happy God borrows the way, and the living avoid it!" ”

I felt that the old man's voice was some distance away from us, so I pulled Li Huaishan to the top of the valley and quietly followed.

The old man walked on the side of the line, and only the bright yellow light flashed around him in the large area of blood, which was particularly eye-catching.

Every few hundred meters, he would stop and shout a song, and every time his words fell, the pace of the crowd would pick up slightly.

Li Huaishan and I lowered our footsteps and followed the crowd, and after about an hour, we crossed a wood, and there was a sound of falling water in front of us, and the crowd suddenly slowed down, and the old man with the yellow lantern quickly ran to the front of the team.

If I'm not mistaken, there should be a small waterfall at the front of the line, but it's too far away for me to see what's ahead.

At this moment, the old man's voice sounded far away: "Wash away the debt!" ”

The team was still slowly moving forward, and Li Huaishan and I could only follow slowly.

After a while, another voice came from the front: "Clean and change clothes!" ”

Every time the old man shouted, he deliberately dragged his long voice, like a mourner at a funeral.

I had a feeling that something must be going on in front of me, but I was too far away to see anything clearly.

In desperation, I could only take Li Huaishan into the forest, and after avoiding the crowd, I quickly touched the front.

"Wash away the debt!"

"Cleanse and change!"

The old man's voice became clearer and clearer, and the sound of falling water came from the front and got closer and closer to us.

Not long after, I saw a two-meter-high waterfall with a large pool of water at the bottom of the waterfall, and when the group got to the front of the pool, they moved in an orderly manner to both sides, forming a large circle on the shore.

I cautiously took a few more steps forward, when the old man shouted, "Wash away the debt!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the people closest to the pool removed the human skins from the lanterns and rinsed them one by one in the pool.

The old man shouted again: "Clean and change clothes!" ”

I saw that the few people who were still washing their skins just now quickly took off their hats and robes on their bodies, and jumped into the water one by one.

Under the light of the moon and the blood-colored fire, I could see that these people had no skin, and the muscles on their bodies were just exposed, and there was a strange black mist in the light.

I've taken a bath with Wang Lei, so it's not the first time I've seen this kind of scene.

Wang Lei was plucked out of the skin of his whole body in his early years, and he was also refined into Shura, every time I took a bath with him, I felt that what I was sitting in front of me was a muscle specimen moved from the hospital.

It's just that the flesh on Wang Lei's body is bright red, but these people in front of him are like charcoal, and their bodies are all black.

They washed themselves in the cold water, and when they returned to the shore, they slowly put the rinsed human skins on themselves.

When the old man shouted the words "clean and change clothes" again, Lao Song also stepped into the water, he still had the thick gloves on his hands, and the human skin in his hands was much smaller than others.

It's still a bit far away, and I can't see exactly what's going on on his side.

I stared at Lao Song for a while, and then turned my head to look at the place where the old man had just stood, only to find that he had disappeared.

Without him shouting a command, the things that surrounded the waterhole still rinsed the human skin very regularly, or jumped into the waterhole to cleanse themselves and put the washed human skin on their bodies.

At that time, all my attention was on the waterhole, and I didn't notice the situation of Li Huaishan.

I just think it's weird, but it's not scary. Li Huaishan was different, he probably saw such a thing for the first time in his life, and he was greatly frightened.

"Shhhh

I was staring at the waterhole when I heard Liu Huaishan take a sharp breath.

When I looked back, I realized that he was constantly backing away, three or four meters away from me.

As soon as I saw that his condition was not right, I ran over and pulled him, but it was still a step too late, and he retreated so quickly that he did not notice his feet, and as soon as I took a step, he tripped over something, shook his body violently, and then fell straight down.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, he reached out to me, as if to ask me to pull him, but the distance between the two of us was too far, and before I could rush to him, he sat on the ground with a muffled "bang".

After that, there was a sudden silence on the other side of the waterhole.
