Chapter 277: Head Cutting Ceremony
The old professor believes that the best way to understand why the people of Headless City have no heads and don't die is to cut off their own heads.
So he thought about it again and again, and finally made a decision to accept the headless city's head-cutting ceremony and become one of them.
I have to say that this old professor did it with the idea of dedicating himself to science, and in his opinion, the results of research are much more important than his own life. Before he performed the head-cutting ceremony, he had written a detailed plan and his understanding of the headless man, and then left it to Deng Bochuan through encryption.
If you are still alive after the head is cut, you have to find a way to figure out why you are still alive. If you die after cutting off your head, you will be considered to have dedicated yourself to science.
Later, the old professor did not die, but after cutting off his head, his temperament changed greatly, and he wandered around the headless city all day carrying his skull that had already rotted into white bones.
The three accompanying field workers knew that the old professor's experiment had failed, and wanted to snatch the old professor's body and rotten head back, but the old professor set a trap for them, and all of them were caught by the people of Headless City, and their heads were forcibly cut off.
When things got like this, Deng Bochuan was about to go crazy on the spot, and immediately dispatched troops, wanting to burn down this so-called headless city. But after he killed him, he found that the old professor and the three special case department field workers were kneeling at the city gate with their skulls in their hands, and the ground was full of words of pleading.
Deng Bochuan really couldn't do it now, so he angrily scolded the old professor's body and the fallen head, and led his subordinates to turn around and leave.
After Lao Deng went back, he gave a gag order on the affairs of Headless City, and classified everything in detail and set it to top secret, which could not be consulted by idlers.
It's just that this idler does not include the current Dr. Yu, and I once saved Dr. Yu's life, so I learned about Headless City from him.
After all, this matter is just a rumor, and no one knows what the real Headless City is like. Anyway, Long Live the Corpse and Xiao Zhong Kui were chased by the border guards and the Great Snow Mountain Temple behind and were cornered, so they had to break into the headless city.
Long live the corpse drove the car on the wilderness, and after reaching a stream formed by melting iceberg snow, he decisively abandoned the car and took me and Xiao Zhong Kui to swim directly up the mountain.
We climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down to see the border guards and the three masters of the Daxueshan Temple swimming through the icy stream, following the path we had come from.
Banzai gestured his middle finger at Guru Kasya, and then led us away.
The two sides chased and fled, and they were playing with their lives in the vast wilderness. During this period, I wanted to give these two guys a cold meal more than once, but whether it was Xiao Zhong Kui or Long Live the Corpse, they were all human spirits who had lived for an unknown amount of time, as long as I showed a little rebellious thoughts, under the belly of the Long Live Corpse, I poked out the colorful worm and looked at me.
My teeth itch with this hatred, and my heart says that one day Lao Tzu will cook this bed bug alive! But it also reminded me that either I don't do it, or I'm going to kill them in one go!
At that moment, I also gathered my thoughts, and no longer showed the slightest intention of running away.
By nightfall, we had crossed two mountains, rested a little, had a bite to eat, and then hurried on.
What makes me gratifying is that the border guards behind me and the masters of the Daxueshan Temple have never given up, and they have been sleeping in the open along the way, chasing after them.
As we crossed the third mountain, I saw a green light in the middle of the canyon.
At first, I thought that there was a residential settlement under the canyon, but then I thought, what village or small town would make the place where they live green like a ghost fire? It wasn't until this time that I realized that we were probably already in the legendary Headless City.
Long live the corpse stared at the green light below, and then looked at the flashlight beam looming on the hillside in the distance, and then said coldly: "Let's go!" After the headless city, even if you are out of the border. The border guards will definitely not chase after them. As for Master Ka Ye, hehe, without those heavily armed big-headed soldiers, what can the three stinky monks of them toss out? ”
We picked a gentle slope and it took us more than an hour to descend from the cliff. It was only then that I realized that there was also a wall made of stone within the range of the light. The walls were about four or five meters high, and they were covered with stones that glowed green.
As I got closer, I realized that the glowing lights were not stones at all, but human heads connected in series. The human head may have some kind of glowing mineral on it, which can glow green at night.
The wall is at least three or four kilometers long, and the distance between human heads is about three meters. Roughly calculated, if you want to illuminate the entire city wall with human heads, I'm afraid it will take more than a thousand? What's more, this is only on the outermost city wall, and the human head light inside the headless city is not counted!
I cursed secretly, Long Live Corpse chose to enter Headless City, I'm afraid it's not a good choice. If you're not careful, your head will be gone.
Just as he was thinking about it, the corpse Banzai had already turned on the strong flashlight and unceremoniously shone it on the city, and the dazzling beam of light cut through the darkness like a sharp sword, instantly alarming the people behind the city wall.
The people were dressed in tattered mountaineering suits, some were Tibetan robes of local Tibetans, and some were even wearing military uniforms. They swayed to the city wall, like a row of human walls.
I looked closely, and I saw that these people really didn't have heads!
To be honest, people can live without heads, and I still can't understand this kind of thing. At the beginning, the old professor may have discovered a little mystery, but unfortunately he chose to cut his head before he could solve it, so that no one knows why people without brains can live.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there was such an amazing thing in the world.
But after saying that the corpse had alarmed the headless people on the city wall with his light, he shouted: "Long live the corpse under the command of the fallen king of the capital city!" Ask to take shelter in the city! ”
As soon as the three words of the city were spoken, the headless people on the city wall turned their bodies to each other, looking like they were talking to each other. It's just that they don't have heads, and their movements look so strange.
While I was pondering how they could speak without heads, I heard someone on the wall say, "Only the headless can enter the headless city." ”
Long live the corpse shrugged at Xiao Zhong Kui and said, "This group of bastards is a group of old stubborns!" The headless city you suggested, you can solve it yourself! ”
The rules of Headless City are actually very simple, only those who have undergone the head-cutting ceremony are eligible to enter Headless City. This is the basic rule of the headless city, and it must not be changed.
In other words, if the corpse wants to take us into the city to hide from the pursuers behind him, he must cut off his own head.
Although it is not possible to die if you cut off your head according to the headless city's head-cutting ceremony, no one wants to do it. So the corpse kicked the ball to Xiao Zhong Kui lightly and skillfully, and saw how to solve this ugly monster like a big turtle.
Otherwise, they could only wait under the headless city for the Ka Ye Master of the Great Snow Mountain Temple and the border guards to chase after them.
Xiao Zhong Kui used his hands and feet together, climbed a few steps forward, he raised his head with difficulty, and said, "Dare to ask the people in the headless city, do you still remember the feelings of the sinners?" ”
I don't know what the love of sinners is, but if you think about it, it must have something to do with the migration of sinners thousands of years ago. Carefully calculated, there were countless criminals who were expelled by Emperor Shun at the beginning, although most of them entered the endless abyss of the Kola Peninsula, but there were still a large number of criminals who left the country.
Could it be that the establishment of the headless city can be traced back to the era of Emperor Shun thousands of years ago?
The headless man on the city wall fell silent when he heard the words "The love of the sinners", and after a long while, the voice of the urn sounded again: "The headless city has never forgotten the love of the sinners. But one of you has eyes that are eyes, and he is not welcome in the city of headless. ”
