Chapter 61: The Ghost in Cardin
He hadn't seen what Jiang Li was capable of, but being able to say this also meant that there were many dangers ahead, at least it proved that he knew something about the front.
Jiang Li stopped and didn't go immediately, and asked Wang Duangong: "What's going on in front?" ”
Wang Duangong hesitated for a while, and then said: "I also listened to the ancestors about this, they said that this river leads to the underworld, and the older generation of people have set up a rule, this river can only go sideways, not alongside, if you follow the river, you will go directly to the underworld." It's hard to come back when the time comes, so don't follow the river. ”
I have seen the river of the underworld and Jiang Li, and I also fell into the Santu River of the underworld before, but I was rescued by Jiang Li.
In addition, even if this river really leads to the underworld, there is nothing to be afraid of, we have been to the underworld several times, and it is not difficult to come back when the time comes.
I interjected, "We've been to the underworld, and we're coming back well, and besides, how can the river of the yang lead to the underworld." ”
Wang Duangong turned his face with a tiger: "It's not bragging." Every time there is a big flood, the water in this river is six or seven meters deep, it stands to reason that the river should be muddy, but we stand on the high ground in the town and look, even if there is a big water, the river water is also very clear, many people have seen it, every time there is a big flood, there is something terrible at the bottom of the river. ”
"What is it?" Jiang Li asked.
Wang Duangong said: "Dead people, every time there is a big flood, you can see rows of dead people walking downstream along the bottom of the river, and when the big water passes, there are still their footprints at the bottom of the river. I suppose that the dead are going down this river to the underworld, and you must not go. ”
Jiang Li smiled and said it was okay.
Wang Duangong sighed: "But don't do it, it's a shame if something happens at that time." ”
Wang Duangong's worry is actually not unreasonable, he has a limited understanding of Jiang Li, and he doesn't know what Jiang Li is capable of, so it is also a good intention to stop us from going.
But he knew it was useless for him to stop us, and he didn't tell us anything about not letting us go.
He didn't dare to go with us, so Jiang Li and I went.
This river is in the gap between several mountains, the wind can easily pour in, and it is now night, the temperature is already a little low, when following Jiang Li forward, from time to time shivering, Jiang Li saw me shivering, and said to me: "If you are afraid, you can go to Lin Yongye's house with Wang Duangong first to wait for me, and I will go alone." ”
At this time, where can I leave alone, and say, "I'll go with you." ”
Jiang Li smiled and said no more.
Going down the river, the riverbed became narrower and narrower, from the first twenty or thirty meters to ten meters, but he never saw the direction in which the burden was going, until the riverbed shrank to about five meters wide, Jiang Li stopped, tilted his head and looked at a cage of dense weeds next to the riverbank.
I also looked there and didn't think anything was wrong. He asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Jiang Li pointed there: "This place is often flooded, it is impossible for there to be normal weeds, besides, the grass is rich in yin qi and has a bloody color, it is obvious that there is a corpse hole there, my burden and your magic sword should be in there." ”
In my opinion, it's just a cage of weeds, and I can't see any yin qi or blood at all, let alone what corpse holes there are.
Jiang Li knew that I didn't understand, so he explained to me: "The phenomenon of walking corpses at the bottom of the river that Wang Duangong talked about just now only occurs in big rivers such as the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River have a long history, and many things deposited on the bottom of the river span thousands of years, including corpses. If a person falls into the river, but does not die normally, it will become a wandering corpse, Taoist ancient books will become this kind of wandering corpse as the Yellow River wandering corpse, the wandering corpse will usually swim at the bottom of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, looking up at the sky all day long, but where there is an object to attack. They will attack without hesitation, and many shipwrecks are caused by these wandering corpses. ”
"Could it be that there are wandering corpses in this river?"
Jiang Li'en said: "In 1954, the Yangtze River was cut off once, and those wandering corpses did not have time to leave and were exposed, but this matter was finally suppressed from above and did not spread. Wandering corpses rarely come together unless they ...... The Zombie King has appeared! ”
"What is the Zombie King?" I hurriedly asked.
Jiang Li said: "Whether it is a walking corpse or a wandering corpse, they are divided into six levels, and when they reach the fifth level, they are called the corpse king. And at the bottom of the river, only when the corpse king appears and there will be a big move, the wandering corpses will gather. According to Wang Duangong's words, every time there is a big flood, there will be wandering corpses walking on the bottom of the river, indicating that there must be wandering corpses in this place, and they are plotting something. In addition, the river is intermittent, and in order not to expose themselves, they will dig out the corpse holes, and when the river dries up, they hide in the corpse holes, and when the river comes, they come out to walk. ”
Jiang Li said that he had already walked over to the weeds, and after passing over, he reached out and pulled out the weeds.
Sure enough, after this weed. A hole that is still about half a meter old was revealed, leading to the ground.
This hole is not like the U-shaped passage that Grandpa dug them, it must have been filled with water, and it was difficult for living people to enter it.
Besides, we don't know anything about the situation in the cave, and we don't know how many wandering corpses there are below.
Jiang Li stood at the entrance of the cave and watched for a while, and then said to me, "You go to Lin's house and wait for me, and I'll go down and have a look." ”
I looked at the corpse cave, then at Jiang Li, and said, "There are all corpses down here." And the water must be very deep, Master, if you go down and are pulled by them, you will drown alive. ”
Jiang Li listened to my words, his face was full of unhappiness, and he glared at me: "Can you say something good?" Master hasn't been to the Longtan Tiger's Den, this small corpse cave is still difficult for me, either jump in with me, or go back to the Lin family and wait for me. ”
He gave these two choices, and I definitely chose to go back to Lin's house.
When I made my choice, Jiang Li took off his coat and put it next to him, and then burrowed into the corpse cave, and then the sound of water came from inside.
I waited outside for about two minutes, and when I stood outside alone, I was a little scared, so I flew back to Lin's house.
It wasn't late, but by the time I got back to the town from the ditch, almost every house in the town had closed their doors and windows, and even the lights had been turned off.
Another very important phenomenon is that every family hangs a red dress in front of the door or window.
I didn't understand what that meant, but I thought it was strange that there was no sound of people in the town, so I quickened my pace.
When they arrived outside the Lin family, the people of the Lin family had already closed the doors and windows. There was a red dress hanging on the door, there was no sound in the room, and I was about to come forward and knock on the door, when a shout came from behind me: "Which doll?" It's so late and you're still wandering outside, so hurry back to the house. ”
I looked back and saw that it was an old man with a flashlight, about seventy or eighty years old, hunched over his waist, looking like dry wood, a little scary, and I looked at him, and I replied, "Come into the house at once." ”
Then turn around and knock on the door.
Knocked for a full minute. Someone in the house came to open the door, and the person who came to the door was Wang Duangong, who saw me and pulled me in, and then made a silent gesture to me.
I asked, "What's wrong?" Why is there a red dress hanging in every house? ”
Wang Duangong didn't dare to speak at this time, so he pulled me upstairs and sat down in Lin Yongye's room. Only then did he whisper to me: "There are some bad things under the ground of this Zhuyi Town, they will come out on the third day of the fifth month every year, they are all wearing red clothes, if anyone does not hang red clothes, they will specify who will enter the house, at this time you must not wander outside, otherwise this town will not be called Zhuyi Town." ”
Hearing what he said, I stared at him with an unkind expression: "Why didn't you tell us before?" My master is still outside! ”
After saying this, I stood up and walked to the window, but when I got up, I saw two familiar things on Lin Yongye's bed.
My sword and seal.
"Why are my magic swords and magic seals here?" I asked right away.
After asking, I thought of something.
Wang Duangong asked me to put down the magic seal and magic sword, but now it appeared in the house.
He also took us to the ditch, but he didn't tell us that there would be such a big movement tonight, if it wasn't for Jiang Li to bring me back, I would still be guarding outside the corpse cave.
My guess is that Wang Duangong did it on purpose, and he wanted to kill us.
I found the magic sword, and Wang Duangong's face suddenly turned abrupt. Before I could investigate the matter, I suddenly heard a cacophony in the town, and I looked out the window.
In this place, you can see the other side of the river, the corpse cave that Jiang Li had just entered, and now one after another black shadows came out of it, and walked towards the town.
And in the laneways of this town. One after another men in red appeared, wandering around.
At this time, Jiang Li also came out of the corpse cave, picked up the clothes next to him and came to the town, I hurriedly shouted: "Master, don't come here, there are a lot of red-clothed ghosts in the town." ”
Wang Duangong heard me shouting, and hurriedly reprimanded: "Dog, which one made you so loud?" ”
He also ran to the window to look, and the red-clothed ghosts in the alleyway heard my voice, and they all turned around and came to this house.
It was not far from the ditch, and Jiang Li heard my voice, and he also saw about the movement in the town, and he quickened his pace and rushed towards us.
Jiang Li was afraid that these red-clothed ghosts would break through the house and endanger us.
And I'm worried that when he comes, he will be surrounded by these red-clothed ghosts.
The red-clothed ghosts quickly gathered at the bottom of the house, and Wang Duangong looked down and scolded me angrily: "Just wait for your master to be torn apart by them." ”
