Chapter Twenty-Three: The Man in the Bag
Seeing the two of them vomit like this, my intuition told me that the things in it were not something ordinary people could bear.
Chen Qiuyan originally wanted to go up and take a look, but I quietly dragged her and shook my head.
"You wait here, I'll just go and see."
With that, I walked over to the sack, took a deep breath, and then held my breath and carefully lifted the corner of the sack.
When I saw what was inside, my stomach instantly churned, but fortunately, I was mentally prepared, so I gritted my teeth and endured it for a few seconds, and this strong vomiting feeling was suppressed by me.
Inside the sack was a man.
At least in terms of outline, this is a person.
Limbs, torso, neck, head, fingers, toes, all these things are there.
But the skin on its body showed signs of melting, or it seemed to be melted, all of it was a twisted, crimson rotten flesh like snot.
This rotten flesh is attached to the bones.
Most of the bones in its body can be hidden by rotten flesh, and only a few parts are scattered and exposed, and the bones can be seen at a glance.
The chest cavity and the abdominal cavity, these two places that should be crowded with internal organs, are also beating constantly at the moment, without the cover of skin and rotten flesh, and you can see the inside from the outside.
The heart, the lungs, and other human internal organs, it has them.
But at this time, their color has become extremely strange, and they are covered with a layer of green slime on the outside, and there seems to be a change on the inside.
The entrails seemed to be stuffed with glow-in-the-dark stones, faintly emitting a soft green glow.
When we see it, this "person" is in a strange posture.
With his hands folded in front of his eyes as if in prayer, his knees lifted up and his calves curled up.
When I looked closer, I realized that it wasn't really praying.
The reason why it did this was because an iron nail pierced its palm, locking the two palms together completely.
The nails were round at both ends, like a grinding disc, and I guess they were added later.
On the "grinding plate" of the iron nail, there is a circle of obvious patterns, which is very similar to Taoist charms, but it walks along the edge, and it is difficult to see the content in a twist and turn, so I am not sure.
In the middle of this circle of patterns, it is obvious and clear that a Buddhist imprint is engraved.
It is a swastika character, and it is also the heart seal of Shakyamuni
"Is it still alive?" Qibao stood aside, wiped his mouth, and his eyes were full of panic: "This should also be an injustice, right?" A living person can't look like this! ”
"I don't know." I gritted my teeth and looked back at Kong Baiyang.
He was standing behind me at this time, and when he saw the contents of the sack, his expression was a little disgusting: "I don't know if it's alive or not, but I think it's definitely not human." ”
"Extinguish it?" Situ asked us.
The monster in the sack seemed to hear us, and its body gradually trembled, and the internal organs in the abdominal cavity and chest cavity were also squirming rapidly.
After a while, we heard something similar to a heartbeat.
Bang, bang, bang.
The familiar rhythm is no different from the heartbeat of a living person.
"If it's a living person, wouldn't it be a little bad if we don't save it" Situ walked over, frowned and said, still covering his nose when he looked into the sack.
"Not a living person." Kong Baiyang said, his tone was full of affirmation: "The qi in its body is very weak, and the yin qi is so heavy that you can't think of it, it is impossible for a living person to have this kind of aura." ”
As soon as Kong Baiyang's words fell, the person curled up in the sack suddenly convulsed, first the heart, and then the lungs and liver
One by one, the internal organs of these people deflated, as if they had been punctured, and countless foul-smelling pus flowed out, soaking through the sacks and seeping into the soil in an instant.
With this situation, the man who was in the sack was silent, no longer convulsed and no longer trembled, and completely fell silent.
"Dead?" Qibao looked at it stunned for a moment, and then looked at us again, his expression full of surprise: "Why did it die all of a sudden?" Can't you see the light? ”
"Maybe it wasn't destined to survive in the first place." Kong Baiyang sighed.
"If it were a living person, and it would be like this, it would certainly not be far from death, if it was unjust," I said, pointing to the dead body in the linen robe, "Do you think they will kill each other?" ”
"That's right." Qibao frowned: "It looks like it's really alive." ”
"No way, can't be saved." I shook my head: "Not to mention saving its injury, it is impossible to prolong its life for a while, this injury can't be suppressed at all." ”
As I spoke, I fastened the opening of the sack, took two steps back, took a stick of incense from my bag, and stuck it in the ground.
"It's weird."
I bowed to Gongxiang, my expression was very helpless, and I said what happened on this island?
Could it be that the changes on this island are all related to Zhou Wugui's cultivation of nine lives?
Do those two brutes have such a great ability?
"It's not far from the village, let's be careful, walk along the side of the road, don't startle the snakes." I put my duffel bag on my back, dragged Chen Qiuyan's little arm, and leaned to the side.
The rat didn't dare to leave my shoulder from the beginning to the end, and hung on it like a koala.
Because of my close proximity to it, I can feel many of its reactions.
Shiver.
From start to finish, it was shaking all the time.
It can be said that it has never been so scared since we met the rat, and the fear that emanates from its bones can be smelled even by me, an outsider.
"! What the hell is going on in this place?! ”
Situ walked behind, scolding and scolding, as if he was a little crazy: "I have been to this island before!" There's no such thing as this! ”
"Lao Kong, how do you think these two things came from?" I asked coldly.
"Two possibilities." Kong Baiyang walked behind and analyzed with me: "Either it's the ancient sin, or it's the evil of the present, I prefer the latter." ”
"You also think they're not ancient?" I asked in a hurry.
"I've seen a lot of injustices in ancient times, some are soul-like, and some are corpses, and those injustices all have one thing in common, that is, with an indescribable aura" Kong Baiyang said, pausing slightly, as if to phrase, and then continued to describe the metaphor to me: "It's like an antique vase, no matter how similar the modern imitations are, they can't imitate that kind of charm, in my master's words, it is the spirit that has been polished by the years." ”
"I think so too!" I frowned and analyzed with him: "If it is a modern injustice, then they themselves are either the aborigines of the island, or other people who came to the island, looking at the clothes under the old man's linen robe, it is indeed quite old-fashioned, but it is definitely modern clothing."
"Zhou Wugui and Yang Jiusheng didn't bring anyone else, they were the only ones when they went to the island." Situ said in a low voice: "As for whether the others have gone to the island, I'm not sure, but as far as the news I got, it shouldn't be." ”
"Let's not talk about outsiders, which of our gentlemen in the industry is not a human spirit?"
As I spoke, I couldn't help laughing and shook my head: "At this juncture, only the Shen family and the Lin family dare to come, and no one else dares to wade into this muddy water, because there is no need, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is much more interesting than being a-stirring stick." ”
"That's right." Kong Baiyang laughed twice, and there was some helplessness in his tone: "Falling into the well is a backhand, and now there are basically no gentlemen who dare to play this trick, as long as they do this, it is equivalent to being on the same page with the Lin family and the Shen family." ”
"According to you, those two monsters are really the villagers of Dragon King Village?" Shippo asked tentatively.
"Possibly."
I sighed and looked at the foggy mountain road ahead, and the inexplicable sense of panic in my heart became more and more obvious.
Really, I have a sense of foreboding.
The dream that Chen Qiuyan had was probably not groundless, I didn't believe it 100% at first, but now I believe it from beginning to end.
In this strange situation, I don't dare to say that we can get out of it all, even if the two monsters we just met are incapable
"If those two monsters were changed by the villagers of Dragon King Village, do you think this has anything to do with Zhou Wugui and them?" Situ asked coldly.
Hearing this, I stopped, looked back at him, and asked helplessly.
"What do you say?"
