Chapter 40: Soul Stripping

"Big Mouth ,......"

Originally, I wanted to shout to stop the big mouth and tell him not to rush to do it first, but unfortunately it was still a step too late, and the words of mercy were drowned out by the merciless gunfire.

I don't sympathize with any red stone statue, but I vaguely feel that it is inextricably linked with Gu Yi, even if it is just a silhouette, it can make me think of Gu Yi, that gentle and well-behaved girl. However, I still shouted a little late, and with a few crisp gunshots, I suddenly had an inexplicable worry in my heart, and I couldn't tell what I was worried about.

Well? What's going on?

In my imagination, the red stone statue should be accompanied by bullets and rubble, but ...... Those bullets all pierced through, could it be that the stone statue was empty? Or is it not stone?

Originally, Big Mouth wanted to beat the stone statue's head to pieces in one go, but now, like me, he quietly stared at the holes in the stone statue's head, and the red and white paste in the holes was slowly flowing out, gurgling and spurting blood blisters.

"Lao Cui, come and see, what the hell, the stone man can still bleed," said the big mouth tremblingly, and at the same time took several steps back.

"There's a real person inside!" The first thing that came to my mind was that the inside of the stone statue was a real person.

It can't be an ancient game, right? Suddenly, I was scared by my unprovoked thoughts, and the side face of the stone statue looked like Gu Yi from a distance, and I rubbed my eyes to be sure that it was a silhouette of Gu Yi. Whether it was a coincidence or a hidden arrangement, I dragged my heavy legs towards the stone statue.

At this time, the big mouth also followed, and became much more peaceful, probably frightened by the sudden change just now, and his face changed color.

"Lao Cui, this face seems to have been seen somewhere, don't you feel familiar?" Big Mouth looked at the stone statue several times left and right, and looked at me in a daze.

"It's Gu Yi" I simply replied with a big mouth, ignoring his dead man-like expression.

I made a detour to the back of the stone statue, and sure enough, there was a face, but unfortunately only half of the forehead remained, and I couldn't see anything, and the cracks the size of the bowl were bloody and smelled faintly burnt.

You don't have to look at it, even if there are people inside, they have been headshot, ** sand 7.6mm caliber bullets, coupled with the penetrating wounds formed by the instantaneous cavity effect, are very terrifying.

"The stone statue is actually made of real people as a mold, it's really a yin means, big mouth smash it and see, I hope it won't be her" I took a few steps back, looking at the big mouth's movements, if I do it myself, I don't need to help with big mouth, but not now, I'm afraid to see a scene that I can't bear to watch.

I saw that the big mouth bowed down, rounded the sapper shovel and slapped it on the chest of the stone statue, the stone statue appeared from the head and feet of a thin gap, the second time it was photographed, it was completely cracked, the shell more than half an inch thick was all cracked into small pieces, scattered all over the ground, and a ball of white flowers fell down.

What fell out of the stone statue was a female corpse with black hair fluttering, but unfortunately only half of her head was left, naked. I finally breathed a sigh of relief, because no matter how I looked at it, I didn't look like a modern person, although the body still maintained the delicate curves and full form of a woman, but the skin was obviously very loose, and there was no trace of blood, and it was completely a miserable white human skin.

What's even more incredible to me and Big Mouth is that less than a minute after the female corpse fell to the ground, the originally smooth skin aged at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, first the skin began to become like dead tree bark, wrinkled and folded, and then the muscles in the body drove the limbs and bones to twitch until they curled into a ball, and then slowly turned into a pool of blood, revealing a thin skeleton.

The stench came to our nostrils, and thankfully we were all wearing gas masks, and even that didn't resist the retching smell. The stench is quite bearable, after all, I have been exposed to it many times before. It's just that what is happening in front of her is shocking, a smooth corpse, in just a few minutes, it has completed the transformation of thousands of years, no matter how graceful and luxurious she was in life, in the end it is just a puddle of stinky water.

"Lao Cui, this ...... What the is going on? Ma Wangduan's wife Xin Chai of Hou Licang is not so well preserved, is it because the soul of the injustice is not gone? "I can hear it, the tongue is straight when the big mouth speaks, the only thing in this world that can make the big mouth afraid is ghosts, in the past, the big mouth was famous for being afraid of ghosts in the whole company, don't look at him big lump, when he talks about ghosts and the like, he immediately loosens.

"Because she didn't die a natural death, but was conjured by someone, and the resentment in her body was artificially stopped and dispersed," I said, and I can only say that, there are too many thaumaturgy in the world, most of them have been lost, and those that are not lost have also been looted when they were broken.

I remember that there was a record of the Yin Walkers in the Inverted Dou Sutra, they were good at summoning spirits, but that also happened before the Ming Dynasty, and now the Yin Walkers have long disappeared for hundreds of years, and it is very likely that this mysterious secret has long been extinct.

Since ancient times, there were corpse chasers in the south, people in the north, many wars in the north, coupled with plague and famine, countless people died in other places every year, so a wave of teams dedicated to transporting corpses emerged. It's just that due to the vast territory of the north and the unpredictable weather from cold to hot and cold, the corpses are decomposed, mosquitoes and maggots are constant. Therefore, in many cases, the corpse carriers are actually indirectly spreading plagues and diseases, and over time they are banned by the dynasty.

The disappearance of the corpse bearer was seen by many well-intentioned Taoist practitioners, who felt that it was profitable and had time to drill, so they used their own convenience to summon the soul of the newly deceased, as long as it was not 7749 days, they had a way to summon the soul of the deceased, and then attached it to a special soul flag, and recited a mantra along the way, and finally sent the soul of the deceased back to their homeland and exiled to the temple gate, so that the underworld commissioner could come and take it away, so that those dead people would not have no soul to sustenance, wander in the human world, and finally scatter their souls.

There is nothing wrong with this, the family of the deceased spends money to buy a peace of mind, but for a time there are more people who walk in the yin than the dead, and there are ten people who are idle people who are indiscriminate, and over time they attract the attention of the courtiers, and a red list that spreads superstition is posted at the city gate, and it is found that the yin people are asked to be beheaded on the spot, and since then the smash hit Yin people have been transferred from the ground to the ground, until they are extinct. for they are not allowed to have children.

Fortunately, their spiritualist techniques are recorded in the form of words, such as the inverted dou scripture in my hand: "People are about to die, the soul is separated, and their spirit must be copied with the technique of spiritualism, so that it can return to the main temple, and it will be reincarnated proudly, and the spiritualism is called Spiritualism."

Later, the spiritualist technique was spread far and wide to the land of Hu Man, and was carried forward by them, not only to summon the dead, but also to carry out the soul stripping technique of the living, that is, to forcibly summon the soul of the living person out of the body, and then seal his mouth with corpse beads, so that it became a veritable walking corpse, and was buried dozens of meters underground as a human martyr, accompanied by the corpses of those dignitaries. For example, the female corpse in front of me was subjected to soul stripping technique.

"There's something in her mouth, look for it," I said to Big Mouth, if she was really subjected to soul stripping, there must be a corpse bead in her mouth.

Big Mouth glanced at me, bravely sapped the sapper shovel and slowly paddled in the pile of blood for a while, and sure enough, he found a beige ball-like thing, the size of which was about the same as the glass ball he played with when he was a child. Before I could explain it to him, I was already in my pocket.

"Lao Cui, is there a female corpse in it, it seems that this trip is worth it, go quickly, you will delay Lao Tzu's chance to make a fortune" The words said with the big mouth were round, with a shameless expression, which made me speechless.

"Let's go, it's just that you can't shoot next time, be gentle" I gave a little advice to Big Mouth, after all, most of the people who were stripped of their souls were innocent girls, they were bullied in every way when they were alive, and they should be treated well after death, of course, I have another worry in my heart.
