Chapter 915: Guarding the Cave Corpse (1st Update)
The entrance to the cave was covered with a circle of rune paper, and there were symbols I didn't recognize.
In the mountains, forests and wilderness, we shouldn't have gone to investigate this kind of strange place, but our trip was to organize the peacekeeping gate to rescue Han Zhangzao, so we must also go to see this kind of place.
We went straight to the cave, but there was a dark cloud floating in the sky, and then before we had too much reaction, the heavy rain poured down, and the silver corpse of Chao Youxi immediately took out a few big hats for us to bring, which he brought from the stilted building, Xiangxi is rainy this season, especially in the mountains.
This cave looks very close from a distance, but it is very difficult to walk, especially under the heavy rain, the road is even more muddy, even when Yun Ruo is also unstable, we have to take care of each other, and the four of us wasted half a day to get to this cave.
There is a saying in Xiangxi, don't enter the hole lightly.
So even the four of us who thought we had some Taoism didn't dare to trespass lightly, even though it was raining heavily outside.
However, we still underestimated the cave, and before we could reach the entrance of the cave, two ghostly shadows flashed in the cave and rushed out, facing me and Yun Ruo.
I kept staring at the entrance of the cave, and I noticed the vision for the first time, and the dark sword on my arm stabbed directly at the shadow that was rushing towards Yun Ruo.
A shadow flashed beside me, and it slammed into the shadow that rushed in front of me.
The speed of these three shadows is extremely fast, just floating out and passing by, like ghosts.
The one that floated past me was naturally the silver corpse of Asaki.
As soon as the collision was touched, the shadow that collided with the silver corpse of Asaki suddenly burrowed back into the cave, and we didn't even see what it was.
The shadow that had been poked by my dark sword staggered back two steps, revealing its form.
It's actually a person!
No, it's a corpse!
This dead thing was dressed in a dark and brown plain cloth dress, with its eyes closed and its mouth slightly open, and it was drenched in heavy rain, and it obviously looked like a dead man, and it looked particularly terrifying.
My dark sword rose up with a lingering black aura that enveloped the corpse as if it were devouring something.
Soon, the black qi of the dark sword was devoured, and it returned to my arm, and the corpse fell backwards without a sound.
I noticed that Yun Ruo deliberately looked at me, didn't say anything, and shifted his gaze to the entrance of the cave.
Chao Youxi stepped forward to check the corpse, and said softly, "It's the corpse guarding the cave." ”
I was surprised and asked, "What is a cave corpse?" ”
Chao Youxi explained: "There are many caves hidden in Xiangxi, and the corpse guarding the cave is the corpse guarding the cave, when a certain big man or some dignitaries were buried in the cave before, there would be a burial companion, and these burial with a certain spell will become a corpse guarding the cave, so as to avoid the preparation of the tomb robbery in the future, to put it bluntly, it is the burial companion."
Later, some wealthy people followed suit, and then most of them were done by wealthy people. ”
Li Guanyi asked with some affection: "So cruel?" ”
Chao Youxi sighed and said: "Actually, it's not cruel, most of these cave guards voluntarily became cave guards before they died, because their families were poor, if they were given to these rich people as burials, the rich people would give their families a lot of money, and even the whole family would not be able to spend it for a lifetime."
Moreover, most of the burial places of these rich people have excellent feng shui, and most of the burial companions will follow the light and bless the descendants.
But to put it bluntly, they are all for survival, for their families, and their hearts are kind. It's just that what happens after death is no longer something they can control.
The times have changed, and the situation of feng shui displacement is also a lot of savings, and the descendants who have money may not all have no worries about food and clothing, do not work hard when they are poor, and do not give kindness when they are rich, and the final outcome is to return to their original destiny trajectory, which is fate, which cannot be changed by manpower. ”
Chao Youxi said with admiration.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was so strong that our clothes were wet, and Chao Youxi gestured to the silver corpse to let it go in first.
As soon as the silver corpse stood at the door of the cave, there was an immediate sound of fighting inside, and soon, the silver corpse dragged another human corpse out of the cave.
Chao Youxi didn't know how to communicate with the silver corpse, nodded and said, "Let's go in and hide from the rain, don't go deep, and leave when the rain stops."
The hole is so small that I don't even know how the two bodies were squeezed out at the same time, but we went through them one by one, and it was still not a problem.
Although the outside is small, the inside is not small, as if a room has been carved out in the belly of the mountain. And the roof of the cave is very high, it has to be four or five meters.
Li Guanyi's nose fluttered after entering the cave, and finally he looked up at the top of the cave and exclaimed, "Coffin! ”
We looked up at the top of our heads, and sure enough, as Chao Youxi said, there was a coffin in this cave, which was hung on the top of this cave, which was the type of cave burial.
The four of us chose a small place to hide from the rain by the entrance of the cave, and we were damp and didn't dare to make a fire.
Li Guanyi seemed to be particularly interested in this cave burial, and he circled around the cave wall as if he was sightseeing.
In fact, Yun Ruo and I also saw this kind of burial method for the first time, so we were also very curious to look around.
For those of us who deal with ghosts a lot, it's a little weird at best, and not so frightening as to scare us.
"Huh?"
What is it?
Li Guanyi walked to a corner of the cave with a corner, saw something on the ground, and couldn't help but shout.
I walked over and saw that it was an incense burner, and the incense ash inside was piled with a thick layer.
I said disdainfully, "Isn't it just an incense burner?" What are you fussing about. ”
Li Guanyi pointed to the place behind the incense burner and moved his arm upwards and shouted, "That's what I'm talking about!" ”
I just looked up and looked up, Mom! There's a coffin hanging from it!
It's just that this coffin is different from the others, the others are hanging in the air, this coffin is hung upside down on the wall, and the bottom of the coffin is close to the wall, as if hanging on it.
Chao Youxi walked over, looked at the coffin, and immediately took out a handful of incense from the back strap he carried, took out three of them, lit them and inserted them in the incense burner, and bowed and muttered something.
Strange things happened, the three incense sticks actually burned fast, like a cigarette that had been sucked a few times, the bright flame of the cigarette butt flickered a few times, and half of the incense burned out.
Chao Youxi's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "It's not good, go quickly!" ”R1148
