Chapter 23: The Search for Iniquity
As far as the intuitive feeling is concerned, the weight of these corpses should not be excessive, at most they are heavier than Qibao, but the sound of them landing on the ground is not this concept at all.
It fell with a thud, and even the ground trembled.
The first corpse landed where I was standing with Shippo, and if I hadn't dragged him to run fast, this corpse would have had to trample on both of us.
Seeing the two footprints more than ten centimeters deep that it made, Qibao trembled for a while, and his smoking movements were not good.
"Don't thank you Lao Tzu?" I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and said with some fear: "Thanks to the two of us running fast, if we don't run fast, we will turn into cakes." ”
At this time, a second corpse jumped up from the bottom of the well.
This time, I figured it out, the black hemp rope that Yi Lin gave me was actually a road sign, and the route they bounced up was along the black line, without the slightest deviation
At first, we were quite curious about these corpses, but after looking at a few in a row, we gradually calmed down, stood aside and smoked, and waited leisurely for these rockets to take off.
After about three or four minutes, the eighth corpse also jumped out of the well, and lined up with the corpse in front of it in an orderly manner, just like a child doing exercises.
To be honest, their teams are not ordinarily neat, they are much stronger than the teams I had in the military training and classmates at the beginning, and they are all standing on the same line.
Qibao is also a bold person, he was scared a few times before, but now he is almost calm, he went up to study the ancient corpse with a cigarette in his mouth, and stabbed the corpse with his fingers, not worried at all that he would blow up others.
"How do you feel like a stone?" Qibao smacked his lips and said in disappointment: "I thought they were the same as ordinary people, you look at their appearance, what is the difference between them and us living people?" ”
Without waiting for me to answer, Yi Lin popped up at the mouth of the well, and he explained to Qibao in a serious manner: "Their flesh and blood are stiff because they have corpse qi, and if the corpse qi is dispersed, they will become similar to ordinary people." ”
"I've heard Master Shen say this, ancient corpses like them that have become climate, that is, they rely on the corpse qi to be powerful, without the corpse qi, their own flesh and bones have to decay at an accelerated rate, then there is nothing to do." Shippo laughed.
Yi Lin hummed, climbed out of the well, stood on the side and patted his clothes, and asked me without raising his head: "Big brother, shall we go up the mountain now?" ”
"Hurry up." As I spoke, I couldn't help but rub my eyes, barely stopping the sour feeling mixed with tiredness: "If we wait, we won't be able to make a big difference, and it will change later." ”
The fat uncle also climbed out of the well, sweating profusely, and said Isn't it, if this is just a barren mountain and there are not so many residents living here, we will not be in such a hurry to deal with them.
At this time, the fat uncle took out his old-fashioned compass from his bag, got some powder left over from the heavy sin, and sprinkled it around the Tianchi on the compass.
After doing this, he crouched down, put the compass on the ground, and rummaged in his pocket for a while, his expression becoming more and more ugly.
"No, didn't I remember to bring it?"
"What the hell?" I asked curiously.
"Matches." The fat uncle said, his expression gradually became anxious, and the sweat on his forehead became more and more: "I have to run back to get the real fuck again"
"Uncle! I have a lighter! Qibao raised his hand and said as if inviting merit: "It's still with a flashlight!" Do you want to? ”
"That didn't work." The fat uncle sighed.
Yi Lin stood on the side, and when he heard the fat uncle's words, he seemed to remember something, threw the small schoolbag on the ground, and quickly rummaged through it.
"Is gunpowder OK?" Yi Lin asked Uncle Fat while rummaging through his schoolbag.
"Okay!" Uncle Fat's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "You don't need too much, just a little is enough!" ”
Hearing this, Yi Lin was not stingy, and directly took out a string of firecrackers from his schoolbag, which was estimated to be one meter long, and all of them were hung with large firecrackers, all as thick as his middle finger.
The fat uncle took the firecracker, dragged two of them down, tore the red paper skin with ease, and poured the gunpowder inside on the ashes of the heaviest sin.
Poured around Tianchi, and the two firecrackers were just used up.
Then, the fat uncle took another stick of incense and lit it, blew it with his mouth, and saw the spark, so he came to the circle of gunpowder.
Hearing a hissing sound, sparks burst up from the compass in an instant, crackling and burning.
It wasn't until the circle of gunpowder burned out that the fire completely disappeared.
"Uncle, will you ruin the plate if you use it like this?" I looked at the compass in his hand and felt a pain in my heart.
Although I am not a feng shui scholar, I have a loving attitude towards all the ritual instruments in the line.
It's like an antique player looking at other people's antiques, I don't like it, but I definitely like it, and I have a collecting habit that I haven't even discovered.
The compass in the fat uncle's hand is not a modern thing, the wooden copper plate Jin Tianchi, this is the standard configuration of the older generation of compasses, at least they are all good things before the Republic of China.
Originally, the edge of the Tianchi was wooden, and it was a copper plate that expanded outward, and the fat uncle didn't pick a place to pour the pile of gunpowder, and it happened to be poured on this circle of wood.
There is a certain number of years of wooden magic weapons, let the gunpowder with the fire so much, this is definitely not light!
"The magic weapon has to be used on the blade, this plate is of good quality, it doesn't matter if the gunpowder burns once, as long as it can take us to find the heavy sin." The fat uncle smiled: "It's a big deal, I'll change it later!" ”
As he spoke, the fat uncle puffed out his mouth and suddenly blew on the compass surface.
The dust on the surface of the compass was also blown away eighty percent at this moment, and the remaining twenty percent seemed to be condensed into a gelatinous thing, sticking to the compass's heavenly pool.
I didn't wait to look closely, but I heard a buzzing sound in the compass.
The sound continued one after another, and there was no intention of stopping, like the sound of flies and mosquitoes, but it was much louder than that.
The moment he heard this voice, the fat uncle was obviously excited, and hurriedly buckled up the gelatinous objects, as if tearing off the skin, and easily detained those things.
Only then did I see clearly that the one that made the buzzing sound was the pointer in the compass Tianchi.
I don't know what stimulated it, it is spinning wildly at this time, round and round, and I can't see its original face clearly, it looks like a black plate, all illusory!
"Three talents are derived from yin, nine palaces are buried, and the law is ordered"
The fat uncle muttered a mantra, and his right hand formed a sword finger and drew a virtual picture on the compass, as if he was drawing a talisman.
With his movements, the speed of the pointer rotation in Tianchi gradually slowed down, at least he could see it clearly with the naked eye, unlike just now, it looked like a cake at a glance.
"I am as anxious as the law of my grandfather!!"
The fat uncle let out a low roar, and suddenly pressed Tianchi with his sword finger, and then bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the compass.
"Fix the !! for Lao Tzu"
"Boom !!"
A thunderous sound suddenly exploded above our heads, and if I guessed correctly, it should be the sound of the fat uncle's spell.
If there is a sound of chirping, it means that the spell was cast successfully, and there was no mistake
"Found it! To the east! The fat uncle exclaimed, his face was full of excitement, looking at the immovable pointer in Tianchi, and frowned again: "But they seem to be gathered together, not as separate as I thought"
"It's best that way, so we don't bother." I laughed and said, "Where's the east?" ”
The fat uncle pointed at it casually and said without raising his head.
"It's the big hole, they should be hiding back in their nest!"
"Okay, then give them a pot!" Qibao said eagerly, rolling up his sleeves, and his expression was as much as he could be beaten: "I have to let them see it today!" Take a look! How powerful our postmodern gentleman is! ”
"We're not good, Xiao Yi is good." I smiled, looked at the joyful gong in Xiao Yilin's hand, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
When it comes to this, you have to let seven or eight-year-old children get off your hand when you fight with injustice, which is shameful enough to say.
"Let's go, let's go now!"
Yi Lin laughed, he didn't seem to be afraid, he took out a stack of paper money from his pocket, raised his hand and scattered it in the sky.
With the sound of the joyful god gong in his hand, the child also shouted, although his voice was immature, but it sounded like the great joyful god.
"Boom! Boom! ”
"Xiangxi chases corpses! The living are avoided! ”
