Chapter Twenty-Four: The Human-Faced Ghost

"Crawl? Are you sure ・・・・・ climb up... I looked at the steep rock wall in front of me and looked carefully to the left and right. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"Otherwise, we can go down" Knowing that there was a mandala and the jar he threw down on the hanging coffin below, he deliberately pretended to ask my opinion on the side.

"Up, we have to go up, haha" I laughed awkwardly, but when I walked to the stone wall, my feet stopped consciously.

Left and right approached the cliff wall, grabbed the protruding gravel and jumped up, kicked one foot down, and the whole body was tightly clung to the stone wall. He climbed up step by step along the grooves and protrusions on the stone wall, without any protection measures up and down his body, and the fat man and I looked nervously left and right, because there was a section of the stone wall in the middle of the way that was very smooth and there was no place to focus on, only to see the left and right jump in mid-air, and grab the stone wall next to him, and the whole person was clinging to the wall like a gecko. The fat man's heart and I were beating left and right, for fear that something would go wrong, and we were always ready to catch the left and right on the ground.

Left and right hands hold the edge of a platform halfway up the stone wall, two legs push upward, stand on the platform to observe the situation inside, only to see that it seems to be a cave, and then look up, the stone wall above is very steep, there is hardly any object that can be climbed with the help of it, I thought, if the stone wall of this slope just now can be handled by itself, then the stone wall on it may not be enough to climb to half, it is impossible to climb up, and in the end it can only be broken bones. Besides, I don't know what the above situation is, if you encounter something on the way, there is no chance to resist at all. So he turned around and beckoned to the fat man and me who were standing below, and motioned for us to go up, saying that there was a way up there.

I grabbed one end of the wire rope, held a flashlight in my mouth, and reluctantly climbed up with the help of the bright light of the flashlight, and grabbed the stone pillar at the entrance of the hole left and right, and fixed myself in place, so as not to suddenly be in danger, and he was caught off guard on it. When he saw that my hands had grasped the edge of the stone platform, he ran over and stretched out his hand to pull me up, and we both used the same method to finally pull the fat man up, but the fat man was also really heavy, his feet slipped halfway, and the whole person almost fell, and the strength of his whole body was pressed on me and the left and right at once, and the wire rope was pulled, almost dragging us both off the top.

We walked in little by little, at first, there was nothing strange about the road leading to the depths of the cave, but the more I walked down my back, the colder it became, if something suddenly appeared was not terrible, just concentrate on dealing with it, it was this quiet atmosphere that made people nervous, especially in such a dark cave so quiet that it was terrifying, and even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard to make people's hearts furious, and I always felt that I would be eaten by the cow ghost and snake god in the next second.

"Left ・・・・・・ left ・・・・・ or so, I seem to ・・・・・have stepped on something," I was more afraid of my body at this time, and the more I stammered.

Because it was too dark in the corridor at this time, we couldn't see what it was left and right, and we didn't dare to use miner's lamps or signal flares, for fear of disturbing the creatures living in the cave, holding a small flashlight in our left and right hands, and squatting down by the faint light to see what was on the ground. He asked me to move my feet slowly, and then shined a flashlight, only to see the flashlight reflected on the ground, although the light was weak, but I could still see it clearly, and then I saw a blurry face on the ground that looked the same as myself, and then I reacted, and I stepped on a mirror under my mother's feet.

I was relieved to know that there was a mirror under my feet and the fat man, but I didn't feel relaxed, saying that since I went down to the tomb, the whole person has become chattering, but I remember that I used to hear many legends about mirrors from the old people in our village, and believe me, it is definitely not a good thing to pick up a mirror in such a place. However, the mirror is really evil enough, and there have been many horror legends throughout the history, especially in Chinese Feng Shui. The mirror is called "light evil" in feng shui, that is, it inhales more evil qi during the day, but at night when it is dark, the mirror will also absorb the righteous qi on the person, and everyone has seven points of popularity and three points of ghost energy.

I picked up the mirror left and right, held it in my hand, and looked back and forth several times, but I couldn't see anything famous. Then he threw the mirror into my hand standing next to me, because the left and right felt that the existence of all things in the world was reasonable, this carved ancient building is this tomb, it should be the tomb of the Tubo Dynasty, and a modern mirror appeared here is definitely not an accident, either someone rushed to this ancient tomb and accidentally left it, or someone deliberately fell here.

I glanced at the mirror carefully and quickly, but there is nothing strange about it, but I have never had a good impression of the mirror, and my father said that everyone has three fires lit on their bodies, which is what we often call ghost yin lamps, one on the left and right on the shoulder, and one on the forehead, and I was born with these three fires are relatively weak compared to ordinary people, although I say what socialism is, break feudal superstition and never believe in ghosts and gods, but in fact, I am still more afraid of ghosts and spirits in my heart.

I was wondering in my heart, this tomb is so quiet, suddenly I felt my shoulders sink, and the sound of breathing seemed to be blowing something in my ears, whew, whe・・・・・w, whew I saw a ghost fetus on my shoulder that was contained in a jade jar hanging in a coffin at that time.

I saw that the child's little feet were covered with pus, and there were unknown white creatures probing outward in the pustules, and his toes were tightly hooked around my shirt, and his whole body was covered with crimson folds, and the folds spread to his face, with two outward protruding eyeballs and jagged sharp teeth, the gums bulged outward, and the whole part of the mouth was severely deformed, as if it had been smashed by something.

Since I entered this ancient tomb, I have understood what it means to be unlucky to drink cold water and stuff my teeth, I continue to make strange noises behind to attract the left and right and the fat man, only to see that the left and right and the fat man also stopped at once, because the road is over, in front of a tomb, at this moment, the child on my shoulder suddenly opened his eyes, with the sound of grinding teeth and grabbed my neck and tore it, left and right heard me howling in the back, and quickly rushed over with the fat man, the fat man shot the child's head, and muttered while hitting the mouth, " your grandma's, why dare you come, Lao Tzu's new hatred and old accounts will be counted together."

The fat man has been hating this thing since he was confused by this thing in the hanging coffin and didn't take advantage of it, and he always felt that it hurt himself and lost a good adult, this time he saw it, but he had to clean up this ghost fetus, I saw that the child suddenly let go of me, jumped directly on the fat man, and the strong reaction force kicked me down directly, and the fat man's upper body was also directly backwards. I saw that the fat man twisted the child's waist with both hands, and directly ripped off a large piece of skin from him, and the rotten flesh inside kept flowing viscous liquid downward.

The child and the fat man tossed on the side for a long time, probably found that the enemy could not match the size of the fat man, so he directly rushed to the left and right of the side to stay, I was scared of death just now, but now I was pounced by this crazy ghost tire, but I felt that I still wanted to laugh a little, thinking "My God, you dare to pounce on the left and right, you have to suffer." I saw that the left and right took out a small knife directly from the pocket, and went up to pull out a big hole in the child's belly, the child may have calculated that I am a bully in our house, and just wanted to jump back on me, and suddenly was pulled left and right by a leg, and his hand directly reached into the hole that had just been drawn, and pulled out a mess inside.

At this moment, the ghost fetus suddenly fell from its left and right body to the ground motionless, and we saw that the folds on its entire body were all stretched, its nose, eyes, mouth, and teeth all fell off its body, and its whole body became very smooth, and finally it became a complete human skin, just like the one we saw in the open space before entering the tomb. Of course, he later explained that this kind of ghost fetus is called a human-faced ghost by people who do this business, it is not a ghost, but a kind of thing similar to black witchcraft, and legend has it that the witch caster specially abducts the newborn baby for a few months, and when he comes back, he puts the baby in a wooden barrel, and raises the lid to raise him without walking, crying, or talking, and they are fed a special herb every day, which can make the pain disappear when eaten, so that when they are old enough, they will not struggle when they peel the skin or say that it is too painful to die, It is also possible to preserve the freshness and integrity of human skin.

However, this kind of witchcraft reaction is also very large, because the witch caster will inject a special kind of insect into the human skin in the later stage, this insect will restore the human skin to the original child shape, in order to control the body, but if there is something out of control in the process, the witch caster will be counterattacked, this witchcraft is similar to the Miao people's Gu art, but the technique is more cruel, the force is greater, and finally the human-faced ghost is sealed in the jade coffin, and taken out when it is ready to be used. There is also a legend that if you really see this kind of human-faced ghost, either kill it completely, or run away and don't hurt it, otherwise once you hurt it and don't kill it, this human-faced ghost will follow you in the future until you can't stand it and kill yourself, which explains why you chose to throw the jade jar down before and just now, and you will never let it escape but must kill it.

The fat man later jokingly said, "Why do the children in this tomb like you so much, they can see you, but they can't see others", I didn't pay attention to the fat man's casual words at first, but with the increasing number of tombs, I realized that in fact, I have been walking in another world, and I am like a bright light in that world, how can I not attract cows, ghosts, snakes and gods.

Left and right beckoned me and the fat man to go forward, came to the hole where they were standing just now, picked up a few pieces of gravel next to the hole and threw it in, at the moment when the stone hit the ground, sharp arrows shot out from countless glowing holes in the wall of the hole, I was secretly glad on the side, fortunately we didn't go in just now, or it had to become meat sauce at the moment, I just tossed my neck hurt, raised my head and lowered my head to move my neck, this is just to see the hole directly above the hole with red cinnabar written three big characters "Tongtian Cave".
