Chapter Ninety-Five: A Thousand Years of Dried Corpses
The little boy went up and took the old man's hand, insisting on taking him to a place. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info at that time, the old man refused, and he couldn't drag it, until the little boy said that he was going to go under a big tree, and the old man reluctantly agreed.
Because the old man has never seen what the tree looks like, let alone him, in the underworld, even if it is a famous family, he has not even seen with his own eyes what shape and appearance the roots of the tree look like.
Soon after, the little boy and the old man came to the dock of which he had described, and by this time, not only the two of them, but also the old ghost and others were waiting under the big tree.
When my husband saw this big tree, he was very amazed in his heart, this tall plane tree is thousands of years old, the bark has been aged, the pale yellow leaves, and the black bark branches, all of which are shocking.
When the old man asked where the tree came from, the little boy replied: "Born, grown, and there is a thousand-year-old coffin buried underneath, which has been hollowed out." ”
At this time, the old ghost went up and looked at the hole under the big tree, because he did not know what was going on, so he turned back to the old ghost and asked, "Who dug such a big pit?" Do you know that this tree is a demon tree, and since it is a demon tree, you must not act rashly? ”
The old ghost said: "This can't be helped, that's what the monkey-faced ghost didn't let us do." ”
The old ghost said, "Where are the others now?" ”
The old ghost said: "I haven't seen him for a few days, and I don't know where the others are." ”
The old ghost said: "Hurry up and carry this coffin out, don't be exposed to the moonlight." ”
With that, the dwarf threw out the dirt from under the tree with his hoe. The coffin itself below had half of its lid exposed, and it was getting darker and darker, and the smell of corpses emanating from it was also very strong.
The old ghost was almost frightened, and then he made the dwarf stop, walked up to take a look, and said, "This is not right, isn't there a black coffin in the hall?" Why is there a bite under the tree? ”
The old ghost shook his head and sighed: "Hey, we can't help it, this coffin is too heavy, it seems that there is some hidden mechanism inside, and the monkey-faced ghost insists on letting us talk about throwing it out." In desperation, I had to use a fake and real way to invite dozens of craftsmen to create the same coffin and put it in the hall. ”
The old ghost said: "I see, fortunately you did so, if you really carry this coffin out of the tree, the catastrophe will not be far away." ”
The dwarf on the side asked again, "Then take a look, do you still keep digging?" ”
The old ghost said: "Of course we have to continue digging, we must carry this coffin out today, and then burn it with a fire." ”
When the dwarf heard this, he picked up the hoe from the ground and began to throw the dirt piled up inside layer by layer into the pit. A few minutes later, the entire coffin was floating in the pit.
The bottom of the pit does not seem to be deep, and the width above is very shallow, and it seems that the coffin has been completely suppressed. There seemed to be some hidden mechanism on all four sides, and a bell hung on each of the four corners of the coffin, and there was blood on it, and there were tattoos in the blood.
Inside the coffin, some faint sounds could be heard coming from inside, as if there was a living person lying inside. This move startled everyone nearby.
The old ghost stepped forward and asked, "Is there anyone in this coffin?" ”
The old ghost immediately replied: "There is no one in the coffin for a long time, but I don't know where the sound came from. ”
The old ghost almost pointed to the black coffin and said hurriedly: "Quickly open the coffin lid and take a look, who is inside." ”
After hearing this, everyone immediately rushed forward, jumped into the hole, and with a hoe in their left hand and a hammer in their hand, they pried the lid of the coffin open one by one, and when they were halfway through, the coffin lid bounced into the air by itself.
The dwarf and the others were almost dumbfounded, and stretched out their necks to take a closer look inside the coffin. At this moment, they suddenly found a dry corpse lying in the center of the coffin box, and this corpse was wearing an official uniform, wearing a sand hat, and every part of his body was covered with bells, wrapping around his entire body.
Everyone recognized the appearance of the corpse inside at a glance, and the little boy exclaimed, "It's him!" It's him! It's a monkey-faced ghost. ”
The old ghost said, "What? How is he. ”
At this time, the old man not far away also came over, stretched out his neck to look at the coffin, and he was also startled, hurriedly retreated, and said in fright: "Isn't this our person?" How long have you been dead, how can you lie here. ”
The old ghost said: "Quickly carry out the corpse, burn it clean with fire, let it lie down for a few days, it will inevitably cheat the corpse, and at that time, we will all suffer." ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately carried out the monkey-faced ghost in the coffin, although many people did not know how he died, only that his face was full of blood, and his ears were full of bells, and his death was extremely cruel, as if he was stabbed with a knife and then tired with a rope to the corpse, and his torso was deformed.
The dwarf carried the body all the way to the dock, sprinkled him with oil, and began to burn his body with torches. After a few minutes, the fire on the corpse had melted, but strangely enough, the corpse was still unharmed, except for the clothes that were burned, the black body was still intact, and there was no trace of being burned by the fire.
The dwarf was surprised, so he picked up another fire and threw it at the corpse. The fire began to spread and spread around its torso again, this time for about ten minutes or so, but when the oil burned out and the flames were extinguished, the monkey-faced ghost's torso was still unharmed.
The old ghost immediately walked up and stopped, "Okay! No need to burn it! You won't melt even if you burn it all day. ”
The dwarf twisted his neck curiously and replied, "Is this a corpse, how can it not be burned?" ”
The old ghost said: "There is nothing wrong with this corpse, but there is a problem with the coffin under the tree, and that coffin should be a blood coffin, such a coffin is rare now." It was not made by man, but naturally formed from the blood fossils of the valley. It is left by the ancestors in ancient times, and has the effect of preventing the corrosion of the flesh. In other words, if you put a dead body in this coffin, the body will be a dry mummy a day later. ”
"The next day, the mummy will start to slowly rot inside the coffin, turning into a pile of white-powdered skeletons. By the third day, the skeleton had turned into a cloud of thick water and disappeared from this world forever. ”
When the dwarf heard this, he couldn't stop laughing, squinting his eyes and sneering: "Then look, how long does this corpse seem to be stored?" The flesh doesn't decay, and it doesn't look like a mummy. ”
The old ghost said: "It seems that this corpse should not have been stored for a long time, judging from the surface traces of the face, it should have only been stored for about two or three hours, the flesh began to stiffen, the blood has coagulated, the bone marrow has long been deformed, the flesh is as hard as a rock, and it has turned into a zombie." Don't say that you burn it with fire, even if you cut it with a knife, stab it with a sword, or chop it with an axe, you can't sway it. ”
The dwarf said, "So what do you do now?" ”
The old ghost replied solemnly: "The old man has a way, since ancient times, whether it is demons or gods, they have always been afraid of one thing, that is, dog blood and child urine, if these two things are combined, they can exorcise demons and eliminate demons, and no ghosts and gods dare to approach." ”
The dwarf said: "Dog blood is easy to say, but where can I find the boy's urine?" ”
The little boy on the side rushed over and said, "I'm a boy, and now I have both." ”
The old ghost said: "One person is not enough, two people are needed, a man and a woman." And the dog blood must also be matched with a male and a female, so as to give full play to the best effect. ”
The dwarf said, "Where are you looking for a girl?" It's all big guys here, and it's easy to talk about male and female dogs. ”
The old ghost said: "It doesn't have to be a man and a woman, even if it's two boys, but the effect will be reduced by half, although the corpse can be burned, but it can't be burned." ”
The little boy came up and smiled and put his hand on the old ghost's shoulder, his expression was very unnatural, and after laughing for a while, he said, "Even if we need two boys, we only have one, and we need one boy." ”
The old ghost's face was a little embarrassed at this time, he sighed, closed his eyes and said slowly: "Then use the old man's!" ”
The little boy couldn't help but cover his face and smiled: "You haven't been married yet?" Do you want me to introduce you to a girl? ”
The old ghost almost glared, pushed the little boy away, frowned and said seriously: "Little hairy baby, don't mess around here, the old man is talking about business, hurry up and find two bowls, dwarf, you go and catch two male and female dogs, now the top priority is to burn this corpse, once it is postponed, the consequences are unimaginable." ”
The dwarf answered, and turned and walked in the direction of the town. The little boy answered, and turned and walked in the direction of the latrine.
The old ghost grabbed the little boy's arm and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
The little boy turned his face back and stared at the two big eyes in shock, "I'm going to find two porcelain bowls, don't you need a child's urine?" ”
The old ghost almost let go of his arm, took out two porcelain bowls from his pocket, and said, "You don't need to look for porcelain bowls, the old man has them." ”
When the little boy saw this, he exclaimed, "Old fox, do you still carry a porcelain bowl with you?" ”
"What are these words, this is a guy who eats, how can he not carry it with him?"
The old man, who was standing aside and had not spoken for a long time, suddenly came up and said with a smile: "Do you need our help?" It's interesting to watch you all one. ”
The old ghost almost raised his head and glared at his eyes and said angrily: "No need, you are a red man under the hands of the king of Hades, your hands are inlaid with gold, your legs are also silver, and your whole body is full of treasures." Where do you dare to bother yourself to help manually. ”
The old man smiled: "Hey, look at what you said, there are a lot of celebrities under the Hades King, and I'm not the only one, you see what help you need, just say it, I'll do my best." ”
The old ghost said: "Okay, I'll call you when I need it later, now we need to burn the corpse first, and then find a way to dig out the coffin in the soil, and finally the demon tree, we must eradicate it all together, so as to prevent future troubles." ”
The old man smiled and nodded slightly, the action looked awkward, but it was very professional, and there was a feeling of entering the palace and meeting the emperor.
The little boy also stood on the side and said with a smile: "Okay! Okay! My father-in-law really looks like a woman. ”
The old ghost hurriedly stepped forward and blocked the little boy's mouth with his hand, "Don't talk nonsense! He looked back at the old man with a smile and explained, "Hey! Children, don't take it to heart. ”
The old man was not angry, but smiled stiffly.
At this time, the dwarf came over, holding a male dog in his left hand and a female dog in his hand, greeted him with a smile, faced the backs of those people, and said, "Old fox, I'm here." ”
The old ghost hurriedly turned around and exclaimed, "Why did you come so quickly?" It's only been a few minutes, and you're here? ”
The dwarf came to me and said, "When I was in the bushes, I happened to see two wild dogs, and I caught them." ”
The old ghost almost turned his eyes to look at him suspiciously, and said, "Two wild dogs? Did you happen to meet? ”
"Yes, yes, it should have been abandoned by their owners, and no one wanted it anyway, so I brought it here." The dwarf replied with a smile on his face.
The old ghost was a little unconvinced, and looked down at the two dogs in his hands, which were already dying of life. He raised his head again and said to him: "Since this is the case, then hurry up and release the dog's blood, and then I will go and pee, and we will go our separate ways." ”
As he spoke, the old ghost turned around and took off his pants and peed a whole bowl full of boy urine. After that, he put the bowl of urine on the ground, took out three sticks of incense from his sleeve, lit the incense and inserted it in front of the bowl.
At the same time, the dwarf also released the dog's blood, and after receiving half of it in a porcelain bowl, he handed it into the hands of the old ghost, and added the fresh dog's blood to the bowl drop by drop.
When he was done, the old ghost took out a second porcelain bowl and threw it into the little boy's hand, saying, "Hurry up, there is still a bowl of boy urine left, as long as you combine these four things, you will be done." ”
The little boy couldn't understand it, so he asked, "Can this burn the body?" ”
The old ghost shook his head and said, "Naturally, it can't, but it can be scorched, and as long as it is not exposed to the moonlight, it will not pose any threat to us." ”
The little boy nodded hurriedly, and without looking back, he turned and ran in the direction of the jungle.
The old ghost was very surprised when he saw it, so he shouted at the back of the little boy, "Hey, where are you going?" ”
The little boy still did not look back, and kept running forward, and after running for a long time he was no longer visible.
At this time, the old man, who was standing on the side, saw the boy's back, and seemed to understand something in his heart, and suddenly laughed, but he didn't say anything.
The old ghost was surprised when he saw the old man laughing stupidly, so he asked, "Father-in-law? What are you laughing at? ”
At this time, the old man said: "Oh, I didn't laugh anything, I just think this little doll is a little dishonest, don't worry, he will be back in a while." ”
The old ghost almost sighed with doubts, and stopped talking.
After a while, the little boy ran back, his face was covered with sweat, and he held a porcelain bowl in his hand, and stuffed it into the old ghost, and said, "Old fox, it's all right." ”
The old ghost sneered and choked his eyebrows, and asked: "I can't see it, you are such a small doll, and you still know how to be shy, we are all big men, what are you afraid of?" ”
The little boy's face was faintly red at the moment, and he said casually in a confused way: "Oh? Don't pay too much attention to the habits you have developed since childhood. ”
The old man next to him couldn't help but laugh in a low voice when he heard it, and this time he laughed even more happily, but he still didn't say a word.
At this time, the old ghost stretched out a hand, palm facing outward, and said, "Okay, okay, hurry up and bring the boy's urine, the old man is ready to do it now." ”
The old ghost almost took the boy's urine with one hand, and inserted three sticks of incense into it, reciting a spell that no one understood in his mouth, and his palms were stained with dog blood, and he dipped two drops of saliva from the tip of his tongue and rubbed his fingers into the bowl.
Although there was no change in the surroundings, it was obvious that the color of the bowl of water had turned black. From time to time, a hint of white smoke will come out.
The old ghost almost bit his finger and sucked a mouthful of blood into his mouth. After about three or five seconds, his eyes widened, his eyebrows pulled, and he puffed out the cowhide band on his face and sprayed blood onto the porcelain bowl.
The people nearby were stunned, and the old man came up to praise him with a smile: "I can't see that you still have this ability, but you are on an errand in this kind of place, it's really condescending." ”
The old ghost almost didn't reply, but he picked up a porcelain bowl with his left and right hands, stood up, and rushed to the corpse by the dock, pouring layers of strange liquid on it.
After that, the old ghost took out a few sticks of incense, two incense sticks were inserted in each of his eyes, nose and ears, and one was also inserted in his mouth, a total of seven incense sticks were burning. He then took out a few leaves, wiped a trail of blood on them, and covered each leaf over its face.
The old ghost looked up at the clouds in the sky, and saw that the moon had not yet appeared, so he turned to the people behind him and said, "Quick, bring the torches and burn the corpses." ”
The dwarf standing behind nodded, and immediately took out a torch filled with oil, and ran behind the old ghost.
At this time, the old ghost also jumped off its corpse.
The dwarf immediately threw out the torch in his hand, but when the torch was thrown into the air, it was inexplicably extinguished.
When the old ghost saw it, he panicked and said, "Quick, I'm going to get a torch here." ”
The dwarf had to go back and get a torch, but at that moment the clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the moonlight shone on the corpse, and the blood sprinkled on the body dried.
When the old ghost saw it, he was very flustered, and ran up quickly, took off his coat and covered the corpse directly, and pressed his whole body to prevent the corpse from mutating.
The dwarf realized that something was wrong, hurriedly looked back, and asked, "How is it?" You okay? ”
The old ghost almost panted and said, "It's okay, you go and find the torches, otherwise you won't have time in a while." ”
The dwarf nodded quickly, and ran into the jungle to find a stick, which he sprinkled with oil. When he was about to go back, he heard a scream behind him, and when he looked back, the old ghost flew up.
The dwarf panicked, and immediately ran over, and hurried the torch in his hand on the corpse, but the corpse sat up, tore off the garment, and stretched out a stiff hand to catch the torch in the dwarf's hand.
When the old man and the little boy saw each other, they were both panicked, and at the same time looked back at the dwarf and asked, "Do you still have torches?" ”
The dwarf shook his head helplessly and said, "No, the last torch was made by himself." ”
At this moment, the corpse on the ground slowly stiffened up from the ground, and the seven incense sticks on his face were also torn off, and the layers of dog blood on his body were all sucked away in an instant under the illumination of the blood moon.
At this time, the old ghost almost fell from the sky and pounced straight on the lawn, and the lawn was smashed out of a deep pit in the form of a human.
The dwarf was suddenly frightened stupid, standing in place with weak legs and not daring to move, in a panic, he suddenly said: "I'll go first, take care!" ”
The dwarf didn't look back, turned around and fled in the direction of the town.
The old man also realized that the situation was not good, and watched the corpse in front of him slowly get up from the ground, and walk in his direction step by step, and his heartbeat began to speed up unconsciously.
The old man grabbed the little boy's hand and said, "Let's run, we're going to blow up the corpse." ”
The old ghost almost got out of the hole with a dying breath, looked at the scattered figure in front of him, supported the lawn with both hands, and said urgently: "Don't run yet, things are not so bad." ”
But the old man didn't listen at all, and only ran away in a hurry in the night, and the dwarf had long since disappeared.
The old ghost had no choice but to take out the last spell from his pocket, this spell was drawn by himself when he dug this big tree before, with the names of five people written on it, and a shape like a fingerprint.
The old ghost almost crawled out of the pit, and in a hurry ran to the big tree, and pasted the spell in his hand to the bark of the huge demon tree.
At this moment, the old man also ran farther and farther, dragging the little boy with one hand, while running desperately, shouting and screaming.
The little boy shook him off with his hand and said, "If you want to run, run by yourself, I won't run." ”
The old man didn't seem to hear the little boy's voice, but continued to run forward, not caring about what happened behind him.
The dried corpse not far away was also slowly moving its body under the moonlight, and its stiff torso seemed to come to life in this second, and there was a stiff emotion on its face.
