Chapter 279: Yu Buren's head
Therefore, according to legend, if you want to enter the headless city, you must only hold a head-cutting ceremony to have this qualification. The so-called head cutting ceremony is actually a ring similar to a neck sleeve on the neck, which is hollow and equipped with a sharp guillotine.
Once the neck sleeve is applied, an elder who performs the head-cutting ceremony applies a strange liquid to the neck and recites the headless mantra. After the spell is recited, the two headless people pull it left and right, and then activate the guillotine in the neck sleeve, and with a click, the head falls to the ground.
A fresh, hot headless man was baked like this.
Who said that the people of Headless City don't even have heads, so what do they use to speak?
This problem is indeed difficult for ordinary people to understand, but people just know how to speak in ventriloquism, using air currents to drum in the abdominal cavity to form resonance and achieve the purpose of speaking.
It is mysterious to say, but this kind of thing does exist, and scientists abroad have used the principle of resonance of airflow in the abdominal cavity to make some people with damaged vocal cords and oral cavity speak again. Although the sound comes from the abdominal cavity rather than through the vocal cords and mouth, it sounds more indistinct.
But as long as you practice a lot, you can still achieve the purpose of speaking.
As the saying goes: If Heaven takes one thing from you, it will give you another. The inhabitants of Headless City have no brains, so they naturally have a unique advantage in learning ventriloquism.
But it is said that this headless spell is the most important part of the headless ceremony, because without the headless spell, this person will die directly after his head is cut off, and he will not be a headless person at all. And the headless spell is not understood by everyone, only the most noble people in the headless city know the headless curse.
Only after the blessing of the headless curse can I be cut off without dying and become one of them. When the time comes, I'll hold my head until it's completely rotten, and then I'll put on phosphor and hang it on the city walls, and rot along with the glittering light bulbs.
Thinking about the fact that my head was about to hit the ground made my scalp tingle. At the moment, I am constantly struggling in the net of falling souls, and while struggling, I also threaten to live the corpse, even if I can't die after the head hits the ground, I will definitely commit suicide. Do you want the Fallen King to see me then? See a corpse and go to you!
I thought that such a threat would make the corpse hesitate, but at this time, the gates of Headless City opened, and a dozen headless people walked out surrounded by a man covered in incantations.
The man was naked, covered in incantations like copper coins, and the dense look made people feel dense and phobic.
Later I learned that these spells were actually headless spells. Whoever is the next Great Elder, the headless curse will be personally engraved on him by the previous elder.
Long live the corpse may really be worried about my suicide, and said to Xiao Zhong Kui in an uncertain tone: "I said, Xiao Zhong Kui, don't fucking harm me." If Yu Buren really died, there would be no way for the fallen king to explain! ”
Before Xiao Zhong Kui could speak, the Great Elder who was covered in incantations said coldly, "Don't worry! He wouldn't kill himself. ”
Long live the corpse, where is it so easy to coax? He rolled his eyes on the spot and said, "You said he wouldn't kill himself?" If he really commits suicide, who do I go to? ”
The Great Elder pointed to my head and said, "His thoughts of suicide are all in his brain now, and when the head is cut off and the head is gone, this thought will naturally disappear." As I said, the brain is the beginning of desire, and only by cutting off a person's head can all desires be cut off. ”
As soon as he said this, I immediately said angrily, "Grandma! Who says I can't kill myself without a head? You wait! Lao Tzu has to commit suicide to show you! ”
The Great Elder didn't even pay attention to my yelling and swearing, but with a wave of his hand, someone rushed over and tore off my clothes, and then the Great Elder stretched out his finger, applied a little bit of the incantation on his body, and then pressed it on me again.
As soon as he pressed it, a spell like a copper coin fell on me. The Great Elder pressed four or five times in a row, and there were four or five more oddly shaped incantations on my neck. Then there was a headless man next to me holding a clay jar and rubbing a handful of mud-like things on my head and neck.
The muddy stuff smelled so strong that I almost fainted. But I was so entangled in the web of falling souls that I didn't even have room to struggle, and those headless people were very skilled in doing these things, and in an instant my head and neck were covered with mud.
The headless man smeared mud on my neck, and I cursed, and every now and then I wanted to open my mouth to take a bite. Anyway, I tried all kinds of ways to delay time. You must know that we have been tossing under the city for a long time, and if the masters and border guards of the Great Snow Mountain Temple come early, I am afraid that they will be able to save me once.
The head-cutting ceremony is a very solemn etiquette in Headless City, probably like giving birth to a child in modern society. After all, the head-cutting ceremony is equivalent to adding an extra member to the headless city, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a new life.
So those headless people were very careful when they smeared mud on my head and neck, and my lack of cooperation, it took me a while to get it done.
The Great Elder waved his hand, and a headless man rushed towards him with a metal neck sleeve. This neck sleeve should be made of iron, like a shackle in ancient times, and a set around my neck is finished.
Two iron chains stretched out on either side of the shackles, each with two headless men. These two iron chains are actually the guillotines inside the neck sleeve. As long as you pull hard, the guillotine in the neck sleeve will cut off the head.
Everything is ready now, all that's left is the Great Elder's headless spell.
The Great Elder reached out and touched the door of my head, and began to chant the mantra in his belly, I didn't want this guy to recite the headless mantra peacefully, so he began to curse on the spot.
Later, after scolding twice, I found that people didn't care, and instantly opened my mouth and sang again. I sing the most dazzling national style, whether it is the melody or the tone, it is particularly easy to be taken out of tune. To say that this song is really the most resonant, I only sang it twice, and the Great Elder's belly suddenly quieted down.
Then an impatient voice came from his belly: "Shut his mouth!" ”
Without saying a word, the two headless men rushed over, grabbed the foul mud and stuffed it into my mouth. As a result, I was only halfway plugged when I heard a "snort" sound breaking through the air. Immediately after that, on the hillside in the distance, there was a crisp gunshot!
Sniper rifles!
The bullet velocity of a sniper rifle is about 800 meters per second, which is much faster than the speed at which sound travels. So I heard the sound of bullets bursting through the air, and then I heard the sound of sniper rifles.
Needless to say, who else can there be a sniper rifle in this place, except for the snipers of the border guards?
The first shot may have been a warning, and the visibility of the dark darkness was very low, and it was not clear who was who, so the muzzle of the gun was raised. But there is no doubt that this shot absolutely saved my life, because the Great Elder can't cut off my head if he can't recite the Headless Mantra.
Xiao Zhong Kui shouted: "They are chasing so fast!" Great Elder, let's talk about it in the city! ”
The sound of an urn came from under the belly of the Great Elder: "The head cutting ceremony has not been completed, he can't enter the city!" ”
The corpse was suddenly anxious, he pointed to the flashlight beam scurrying in the distance, and said, "Great Elder, you have nothing wrong with your brain, right?" That's the Chinese border guards and the Great Snow Mountain Temple's Guru Kasya! It's just a few hundred meters away, and by the time you've finished reciting the headless mantra, they'll already rush over and shoot us to death! ”
"Why don't you hurry into the city first, what are you doing guarding those rules?"
As if to meet the words of the corpse, another gunshot rang out from the opposite side, this time the bullet landed near the city gate, burrowing a hole in the ground. Obviously, the other party is warning us not to move, otherwise the bullet will have no eyes, and whoever hits it will be unlucky!
The Great Elder suddenly raised his head and said, "Deng Bochuan promised us that no one would be allowed to harass the Headless City!" ”
Long live the corpse was anxious: "Deng Bochuan doesn't know how many years he has been dead!" What are you still thinking about him? Besides, it's not from the Special Cases Division who came this time! That's the Ka Ye Master of the Great Snow Mountain, and a group of big-headed soldiers who kill people without blinking! ”
