Chapter 8: The Cliff Cave A Place to Raise Corpses
"Huzi! Stop, there's a cliff ahead! ”
Deshun's reminder made the grandfather stop his galloping footsteps, and looking at the abyss under his feet, the grandfather was scared into a cold sweat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but at this time, the compass is shaking more and more, which indicates that Chen Ergou's soul or a powerful unknown existence is ahead;
"Corpse Ground!"
Only the possibility of the corpse raising ground can prove the various abnormal signs that happened before, the corpse raising place has gathered a large amount of yin qi, attracting a large number of yin ghosts and ghosts here; This is also the reason why Grandpa only gathered more than a dozen Yin Souls when he summoned souls in the woods, and it was also the reason why Chen Ergou's souls could not be summoned for a long time.
"You guys go back to the village with the Demon Bell and look for the rope! Find more, long enough, go and come back quickly! ”
Grandpa said to a few young adults with a blushing face that the matter was much more serious than expected; The corpse raising ground is the most terrifying, dangerous and taboo cemetery in funeral feng shui. When the body is buried in a corpse site, not only will the muscles and internal organs of the human body not decay, but also the hair, teeth, and nails will continue to grow. The corpse absorbs the essence of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers due to the light of the sun and the moon, and some of its body functions are restored to life, just like the dead will transform into zombies, wandering around and sucking people's essence and blood for a living.
However, zombies are also differentiated by their own strength, such as purple zombie, white zombie, green zombie, hairy zombie, flying zombie, wandering corpse, ambush corpse, and immortal bones, and so on, purple zombie is the weakest, and it has existed for a short time in the corpse raising area, and has not fully evolved; Compared with the corpses and bones in the back, they are zombies that have existed for a long time; The whole body is hard, not afraid of any swords, guns and halberds, for grandpa, there is no way to face such a powerful existence.
Several young adults hurriedly carried the lantern back to the village to get the rope, leaving only Grandpa and Deshun here; Grandpa hurriedly packed up the big and small things in the bag to deal with zombies, and Deshun was also rarely serious, hugged the jar and went into the woods and didn't know what to do; Grandpa was nervous at this time, but he didn't ask much, just let him go.
In about half an hour, a few young men had already taken the rope and returned; It's just that there are also brothers from the Wang family and the village head.
"Huzi, it's not good! Wang Wu ran away! ”
Uncle Dewang, the village head, opened his throat and shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that others would steal his limelight. The brothers of the Wang family who were walking in front were also depressed, proving that the words of the village chief Uncle Dewang were true.
It turned out that not long ago, several brothers of the Wang family were taking care of the queen mother in the small house of the Wang family, when they suddenly heard a violent crash in the side hall; When I went out, I saw Wang Wu with red eyes like crazy, and slammed his body against the seal laid by his grandfather Zhang Hu, and the brothers of the Wang family had a shovel on it, but they couldn't stop Wang Wu who broke the seal. After Wang Wu got out, he didn't hurt anyone very abnormally, but ran out of the village with a loud roar, and disappeared in three or two clicks, and the brothers of the Wang family couldn't catch up; A few people were in a hurry, and they happened to meet these young men who came back to pick up the rope with their grandfather, and then they came to the mountain together.
"Sure enough!"
Grandpa listened to the words of the village chief, but he seemed calm, but his eyes flashed and he was more determined in his thoughts.
"Pull the rope and let me go!"
Grandpa carried a cloth bag and carried a lantern, and motioned to a few young adults to fix the rope on a big tree on the edge of the cliff, and only after stepping on the cliff wall did he open his mouth to let a few people slowly lower the rope.
Bursts of thick mist rose from under the cliff, and the cliff wall looked slippery under the action of the mist, and Grandpa almost didn't stand still and slipped down several times, but after all, it was still dangerous and dangerous; A thin rope is tied to the horse lantern, so that grandpa can easily hang it around his neck; The body of the lamp is located at the foot, but it allows grandpa to observe the situation under the cliff wall in advance.
The rope has been slowly lowering, and I don't know how long it has been falling; In Grandpa's induction, at least a distance of no less than 100 meters should have been dropped, but unfortunately there were only a few small weeds left on the cliff wall illuminated by the horse lantern that emitted a faint yellow light under his feet, and there was nothing strange about it. However, grandpa did not give up because of this, but his face became more and more cautious......
The thick yin qi is getting heavier and heavier, I don't know if it's an illusion or something else, as the thick yin qi hits, the flames wrapped in the lampshade of the horse lamp under grandpa's feet seem to be blown by the wind and swayed slightly.
"Crackling ......"
The sound of stones rolling down suddenly sounded, it was the left direction, and Grandpa hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound, through the thick fog, although his vision was blurred, but Grandpa still saw a black shadow flash into the cliff not far away; Grandpa hurriedly lifted the lantern with one hand and picked up the circle, which was the stop signal agreed between Grandpa and the person who put the rope on it!
The rope stopped the downward trend, and it should be that the people above the cliff saw the signal sent by Grandpa; Grandpa dragged the rope with one hand and slowly moved to the left with the other hand climbing the cliff......
Soon, a platform above the cliff on the left appeared in the eyes of the grandfather, but it was a piece of stone extending from the cliff, less than two meters in size, and at most only two people could stand; But on the small platform where only two people stood on this side, there was a hole from the outside in, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance, and there was one on the edge of the hole; The thick trees of the two grew on the cliff face.
Everything seems so normal, the cliff has been washed by long-term rain, and it is not uncommon for natural caves to be formed in the Qilian Mountains, and it is understandable that flowers and trees grow in the cliff wall; But the expression on Grandpa's face became more and more solemn, and it looked very infiltrating under the faint light of the flickering horse lamp!
The crux of the matter is not the hole in the cliff, nor the tree that grows on the cliff, but the variety of the tree; At this time, it seems that this is a locust tree growing on the edge of the cave!
"Huai", the ghost on the left and the ghost on the right; In ancient times, the locust tree was believed to represent "Lu", that is, high-ranking officials and Houlu; The "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Huai's words are also Huai, and the people who come to smoke are also like this." "The locust tree, the tree of the people. Especially after the Qing Dynasty, there was a large increase in overseas travelers, and Guohuai was favored by overseas travelers because of the meaning of "nostalgia for home and country". In the "Shuowen", it is said: "Huai, wood, from wood, ghost sound". In the eyes of the ancients, the locust tree is not only magical and abnormal, but also helps to remember the old people, decide the lawsuit, and is a symbol of the minister. The court of the Zhou Dynasty planted three Huai and nine thorns, and the ministers and doctors sat under them, and those facing the three Huai were the three public seats. In later generations, it was planted in front of the door and in the courtyard with the intention of praying that the descendants would be ranked among the three princes. The folk song of "a locust tree in front of the door, the wealth is rolling in" is spread among the people of Longkou, which has the meaning of praying for wealth and getting rich.
