Chapter Twenty-Six: Nine Powerful Ghosts
Baozi looked at Cabbage Flower in astonishment, Cabbage Flower's stunned expression was very scary, but in an instant, Cabbage Flower laughed, "Let's go, go in and play." “
The door opened, and the bones of the laborers who participated in the riot and the dead bodies of the Kwantung Army disappeared in an instant. The ground is much cleaner, the bluestone polished floor tiles are tightly paved, and the width of the tunnel is larger, reaching more than five meters horizontally, and it seems that it can run two cars. The two of them counted 1 number every ten steps, for fear that the trapped dragon bureau would regenerate, but in this long tunnel of more than 1,000 meters, there was no trapped dragon bureau, just walked and looked, and found that it was full of bones of the dead who had been buried.
These people are almost shoulder to shoulder, with their heads facing the road and their buttocks facing the wall, leaning over in a kneeling position, their foreheads on the ground, their hands stretched forward in a very exaggerated posture, their palms open, and in front of their hands are placed square lacquer boxes for placing objects. The lacquerware is very resistant to decay, and the color is still as bright as new, but everything that can be eaten in the lacquer box has weathered into slag, and when examined, it is found that it is nothing more than the remains of three animals and six animals. The corpses were all dry, but not as serious as the corpses of the laborers outside the door, and there was still muscle tissue, and it was speculated that the strength of the fierce wind in the inner hall had weakened a lot. From a distance, lacquer boxes filled with food were placed on both sides of the road, and thousands of people were bowing and prostrating, thinking that the purpose of the maker was to let visitors walk on the road, and there was a feeling of great reverence.
Cabbage Flower smacked her lips, "How ruthless people are willing to enjoy this treatment"
Baozi smiled contemptuously, "Huahua, this is not for people, it is for ghosts." "Baozi told Cabbage Flower that this is the way to summon spirits, and use extremely high etiquette to recruit back the ghosts who have magical powers but wander the world, if they don't guess wrong, the ghosts are going forward along this road, and there must be a place similar to the registration station in front of them, register the ghosts, and compile them into the Yin Soldier Array.
Such a welcoming and warm welcome scene lasted for more than 200 meters, and the two of them suddenly felt cold and creepy in their backs, and secretly scolded the ghosts for being too biased.
"Buns, look, there are alive!" Cabbage Flower pointed not far ahead.
How is it possible, even if there is a living one, if it is buried in the ground for thirty or forty years, it should starve to death ten times. Baozi held the hilt of the sword vigilantly, and saw that under the illumination of the flashlight, several standing figures could be vaguely seen in the distance. The two drew their swords, walked slowly, and came close to find it. On the side of the road were square frames of wood, resembling door frames, under each frame stood a dead body, and two iron rings were embedded in the frames, and the dead body was hung with its hands and inserted into the rings. There is also a bar in the middle of the frame, which is placed at the waist of the dead man.
"What kind of thing is this," Cabbage Flower wondered, "similar to the tethered stakes used in the countryside to make slaps for horses." “
Bun said, "Flogging." ”
The whipping in film and television works always gives people the characteristics of being relatively mild, whether it is in the palace or among the people, a few whips will be given to those who have made mistakes at every turn. In fact, the whipping is very cruel, some whippers tie the tip of the whip with a sharp iron hook, or dip it in white wine and chili oil, and the skin and flesh are peeled with a whip, and the prisoner is in great pain, and the hundred whips are beaten to take people's lives. The execution table is shown as a living person being tortured, and the blood in the blood basin has dried up and become a lump, but it is absolutely real.
"This is just after the greeting is over, the killing ring will be opened, do you treat the guests like this?"
"Let's see"
Next came hundreds of altars with corpses lying down, hundreds of corpses lying on stone altars with their heads facing the corridor and their feet facing the walls. There are pillow stone axes, stone hoes, pillow weapons, magic weapons, all wear jade blocks, jade rings, earrings, mussel rings, mussel rings and other ancient ornaments. What's even more strange is that there is a fish under the head, a fish in the mouth, a fish in both hands, and a fish on both sides of the body. Looking at the burial goods, you can see that it represents the profession, agriculture, fisherman, soldier, Jia, and witch. This is similar to the funeral companions from all walks of life, who are blessed in the world and blessed in the world, and lovers under the nine springs.
After walking through the kilometer road, I came to a rotunda, this hall is much smaller than the square sinkhole of Fangcai, but it is also large enough, the flashlight can not see the dome, there are nine huge stone doors against the circular wall, and the nine sons of the dragon are carved respectively. As mentioned last time, these nine sons are officially certified and organized bastards, and as for the dragon species born to other objects, they are not among the nine sons. The names of the gatehouses are also carved above the nine gates, "greed, hatred, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, desire, greed, suspicion", and the dragon gate named after the nine character weaknesses of people is the first time to see.
The two of them just wanted to open the map to see which of the nine gates was better, but they felt a biting wind rising, and the pine oil lamps on both sides of the wall lit up in unison, and the blue flames danced happily.
The two of them dodged to leave, and they heard Huang Xian speak in their heads, "You two don't move, Bai Yuan and I have a spell to make those demons unable to see you." All you have to do is watch the play. The two of them retreated against the wall, just waiting to watch the so-called play.
The black wind and yin qi are getting heavier and heavier, the five elements of the underworld belong to water, and it is still dark, so the black qi is surging when the ghosts appear, and the ghosts are also black clothes and black hats, and the black sky is active, and the psychic cats are mostly black cats, and so on. The black wind that Baozi saw was rising, and something from the underworld must have arrived.
Sure enough, a few shadows flashed more and more clearly in the corner of the wall, and they came talking and laughing. Without exception, they were dressed in the uniforms of high-ranking Japanese officers, and the burlap fabric set off the short bodies, and they were taller, at least more stylish than the soldiers in cotton uniforms.
One of the bespectacled secretaries said to the officer in charge (of course, for the sake of convenience, I still write in Chinese) "Ishihara-kun, the plan is not going well. “
His name is Ishihara, could it be Miko's husband and cipher maker Ishihara?
Ishihara looked sideways, "You know, I don't like to hear the word 'not going well' the most. “
The secretary commanded a few soldiers and said, "Bring it up!" “
The soldiers saluted and left. In an instant, the kilometer corridor and the hall were brightly lit, and the old corpses that had long been dried and decayed gradually became bloody, shaking their heads and tails and stretching their waists, and the clothes that turned into fly ashes were also shiny.
With such a luxurious formation, what kind of people are you using! Buns and cabbage flowers are calm, waiting for the arrival of the big guys.
After a while, a few people walked in outside the stone gate, Baozi looked at it, and knew Junzi and his parents, as well as all the neighbors and friends who had seen the appearance of the witch Gu, these people shrunk their arms, shackled their hands and feet, and walked forward hesitantly, looking at this happy place as they walked. They were followed by a group of Japanese infantry with grim faces, all of whom were ghosts, of course.
The crowd sang "Immortals, ghosts, dragons, and people, the ancient has been four points." The common people are emotional, and they are externalized and invisible. Get rid of the red dust, and the heart is the same. It is to enter the Yin Army, and the grand plan is displayed. Expand the territory and destroy the people and gods. Thousands of years of success. ”
Shunzi and the others walked into the corridor, and when they saw the jubilation, singing and dancing with sacrifices in their hands, they suddenly became relaxed, and turned a little fluttery, thinking that they had ascended to heaven. Shunzi Niang sighed with emotion, "We have saved good fortune in the world, and we are so respected in the fairy world, if we know such courtesy, it is better to die early." ”
When the welcoming crowd heard the testimonial, they immediately boiled and crowded forward, crowding to pick up the food in their hands, hoping that the guests would have a bite. Shunzi trembled and broke a leg of mutton, stuffed it into his mouth, his face changed greatly, and he was happy to eat the peach and jade fruit of the fairy world, pulling his parents, relatives and friends to eat together, and everyone was fascinated after eating a bite of meat. They stopped the lacquered boxes held up by the welcomers one by one, sat on the ground, and ignored the shouts of the welcoming crowd, and did not care whether they could eat or not, while frantically gathering the meat bowls and feasting. With each large piece of meat, the welcoming crowd reaches a climax like a tsunami. These people even left their etiquette and shame, and for a rare sika deer hind leg, Junzi and his father actually fought, and relatives and neighbors also frantically ate, drank and robbed each other as if they didn't see it. The Japanese soldier had no intention of driving away, and stood with his guns in his hand, quietly waiting for them to finish eating.
"I'm starving to death," Cabbage Flower muttered, "If I hadn't seen what was in there in advance, I would have gone up and eaten two bites of him!" “
Baozi laughed, "You dare to eat that soul-killing thing, I admire your courage." “
It didn't last long, the ghosts who had a full meal felt stomach pain, wanted to find a place to go to the toilet, and were forced back by the Japanese soldiers with bayonets, the ghosts were pale and screamed, it seemed that the pain was not light, and they were embarrassed to relieve themselves in front of thousands of people, the pain became more and more intense, the abdominal colic was unbearable, the Japanese soldiers didn't care how many people wailed, they divided into small groups in twos and threes, escorted a few people to the whipping table, and the whip with a hook was suddenly waved, crackling, and the ghosts wailed endlessly.
Ishihara took out a white handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose in disgust, and raised his hand to pull the dying ghosts up.
