Chapter Seventy-Four: The Son Is Silent
Maybe it's because the second uncle's mood is a little low, and his voice is a little quieter. At this time, Liu Guanqun was also a little absent-minded, and turned left when he went out, looking at his demeanor and movements, as if there was something on his mind. Since the green corpse came out of the sarcophagus, Liu Guanqun seemed to have changed as if he had changed.
Seeing this, the second uncle hurriedly shouted at Liu Guanqun: "Master Liu! ”
Hearing the second uncle shout like this, Liu Guanqun stopped, looked back and was stunned for a moment, looked at the second uncle and immediately asked with a smile: "Master Hou, what's wrong?" ”
The second uncle was also a little puzzled by Liu Guanqun's current state, so he stepped forward and took a flashlight to Liu Guanqun's face and shone it over. The second uncle also noticed that Liu Guanqun was a little abnormal, so he wanted to see if this Liu Guanqun was possessed by a green corpse or something else that had not yet been discovered. It was precisely because he didn't know anything about the green corpse that the second uncle felt that all this was possible.
Liu Guanqun was a little confused by the second uncle's move, after all, in this dark environment, the light of this flashlight was not very comfortable to hit the eyes directly. Liu Guanqun subconsciously took two steps back, blocked the light of the flashlight with his arm, and asked the second uncle with a puzzled expression: "Master Hou, what are you doing here?" ”
The second uncle saw that the willow crown group did not have the symptoms of being possessed by something, everything was normal. Thinking that he might be too worried, thinking of this, the second uncle took a flashlight and said at the door of the tomb opposite: "Master Liu, I see that there is also a tomb here, why don't we go here first!" ”
After hearing this, Liu Guanqun looked in the direction of the second uncle's flashlight, and then said with a smile: "Okay, good, good." Listen to Lord Hou. ”
After hearing this, the second uncle and Lao Fei walked towards this tomb, and Liu Guanqun, who followed behind him, still looked absent-minded, turning around from time to time with a flashlight, according to the direction he wanted to go before, as if there was something he wanted over there.
Besides, after the three of them entered this tomb, they found that the situation in this tomb was similar to that in the opposite tomb, and they were all all kinds of soldiers, neatly arranged. Along the way, everyone was more cautious, although everyone still had a white wine coated with boiled millipedes, but this thing didn't seem to have any effect on those big corpse silkworms. Besides, after a long time, the taste of the liquor has already volatilized. And the rest of the liquor is still with Professor Hu.
The three of them walked for a while and found that there was also a platform in this tomb, and there was a building similar to a "pavilion" on the platform, which was almost exactly the same as the tomb on the opposite side. The three of them glanced at each other and walked up the steps in unison. When the three of them arrived at the platform, they found that there was also a sarcophagus under the gazebo above the platform, but the area around the sarcophagus was much cleaner than that of the tomb opposite, at least there were no messy things piled up around the sarcophagus. The second uncle took a closer look at this sarcophagus and found that this sarcophagus was different from the previous one.
Even if you don't pay attention to the previous sarcophagus, you can see that there are some obvious marks of bumps on it, indicating that the sarcophagus has been opened more than once. The sarcophagus in front of him has never been able to find the damaged place, indicating that this sarcophagus should have not been opened. If it hadn't been opened, there should have been an ancient corpse here, and since there was an ancient corpse, it was likely to be a zombie.
I remember that when I was in Beigang Village, the village chief once told him that the cultivation process of this zombie was like an animal hibernating. Lying in the coffin has been lying quietly like that, for hundreds of years, even thousands of years. The older the year, the more ferocious the zombie becomes.
When it comes to zombies, the highest in folklore is the mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea in Journey to the West, the Golden Retriever. It is said that this golden retriever is a zombie who cultivated to the end and incarnated into a golden retriever. And the Golden Retriever is also the only zombie among the zombies who has cultivated to the Golden Retriever. The Golden Retriever resembles a dog, has a fierce temperament, and often fights dragons. But this is nothing more than folklore, a topic to kill time after dinner.
But it is said that in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there was a literati named Yuan Mei, who was quite famous. He once wrote a book called "Zi Bu Silent", which mostly recorded anecdotes, strange people and ghosts and other events. There's a lot of space devoted to zombies. In this book "Zi Bu Silent", zombies are divided into eight categories, from weak to strong, they are purple zombie, white zombie, green zombie, hair zombie, flying zombie, wandering corpse, ambush corpse, and non-bone.
The purple, white, and green ones in front are still easy to deal with, but this stiffness is a bit of a headache. It is not even afraid of sunlight, which means that once this zombie escapes, it can come out and harm people day and night. However, even if this stiff has some skills, it is not the kind of zombie with stiff velvet on the body that the second uncle and they are looking for.
Second Uncle, the kind of zombie they are looking for is at least at the level of Feizhu or even higher, this kind of zombie has to be cultivated for at least nearly a thousand years or so, and this ancient tomb is just a good place to find this kind of zombie. However, this ancient tomb has a history of more than 2,000 years, and if there are really zombies in it, then the zombies are probably at least above the level of wandering corpses.
At this time, the second uncle's mood was also more complicated, although he had a corpse card in his bag, but he was muttering in his heart how much of a role this corpse card could play. The village chief had previously explained to the second uncle that if he encountered a zombie, he could first sprinkle some glutinous rice in front of the zombie, and then use the money sword and the corpse suppression talisman he drew to deal with it.
But if you want to use these few things to deal with this thousand-year-old zombie, you need this person to know a lot about zombies, know its habits when attacking people, etc., and also have a lot of experience in this area, and the spell is very strong. Obviously, these are not what the second uncle has.
The second uncle is holding these things for self-defense at most, but now those things are on the body of the fifth child, and the fifth brother doesn't know where it is at this time, and he doesn't even know if the corpse was eaten by the corpse silkworm. So if the second uncle wants to deal with zombies now, he can only pin all his hopes on that corpse card.
The second uncle motioned for Liu Guanqun and Lao Fei to stand aside, walked around the sarcophagus by himself, kept his distance from the sarcophagus, and then tentatively approached the sarcophagus little by little. Because the second uncle is not sure if there are zombies in this sarcophagus, if there are really zombies in it, then the corpse card on his body will definitely wake it up, I am afraid that if this zombie comes out more suddenly, push the lid of the sarcophagus open, and it is easy to hurt everyone.
It is said that when the second uncle came to the sarcophagus, and even his body had already touched the sarcophagus, the sarcophagus was still not moving. Seeing this, the second uncle thought to himself, it is estimated that this sarcophagus is either empty or just an ordinary ancient corpse. Thinking of this, the second uncle said to Liu Guanqun: "There should be nothing we are looking for in this sarcophagus, it seems that we have to go to other places to continue looking." ”
What the second uncle didn't expect was that Liu Guanqun had no intention of leaving at this time, and when he saw that the second uncle was leaving, he said: "Master Hou, how do you know that there are no zombies in this sarcophagus?" With that, Liu Guanqun also circled around the sarcophagus, carefully inspecting something as he walked. One moment pushing the lid of the sarcophagus, the other pounding the sarcophagus with his hands. Looking at Liu Guanqun's appearance, he seemed to be looking for a way to open this sarcophagus.
Whether there are zombies in this sarcophagus, the second uncle is naturally very clear in his heart, but he doesn't know how to talk to Liu Guanqun for a while, seeing Liu Guanqun's persistent appearance, the second uncle is also helpless, but he can't say anything.
After a while, Liu Guanqun had already looked at the sarcophagus from top to bottom, from left to right, but he couldn't find a way to open the sarcophagus, and finally had to follow the second uncle and them out of here.
After the three of them walked out of the tomb, they saw Liu Guanqun go out of the door and walk in the direction on the right, that is, the direction in which Liu Guanqun came out of the opposite tomb before. Looking at him, it was as if he knew the chamber well.
And the second uncle and Lao Fei didn't have a clear direction to find at this time, so they followed Liu Guanqun and walked forward. However, Liu Guanqun's footsteps at this time were very fast, and even left Lao Fei and the second uncle behind.
Liu Guanqun's various actions made the second uncle and Lao Fei feel that something was not quite right, and Lao Fei put his mouth to the second uncle's ear and whispered as he walked: "Second uncle, there must be something wrong with this willow monkey!" The second uncle turned around and made a gesture of not speaking to Lao Fei with his hand, and Lao Fei understood and continued to follow Liu Guanqun with the second uncle.
Because Liu Guanqun walked very fast, after a while, they fell far away for the second uncle, and the second uncle and Lao Fei could only watch from a distance as the light of Liu Guanqun's flashlight moved forward. After walking for a while, I saw Liu Guanqun's flashlight shining left and right in front of him, and he did not continue to walk forward.
Is there no road ahead? The second uncle thought for a while and said to Lao Fei: "Wait a while, I'm afraid there is no road ahead." Sure enough, as soon as the second uncle finished speaking, he saw the willow crown group returning.
After Liu Guanqun came over, the second uncle saw this and asked, "What, is there no road over there?" ”
"Well, this burial chamber is like a labyrinth, and you can't really get down without a little patience." When Liu Guanqun said this, he took the flashlight and shone it back and continued: "Master Hou, when we turned around at that time, didn't we turn from an intersection, why don't we go back and look at other places?" ”
The second uncle was still thinking about finding the body of the fifth child at this time, and wanted to stay here to find it again, but the two tombs were almost turned over, and there was no clue about the fifth child, and he didn't even see a single item on the fifth child. Thinking of this, the second uncle decided to follow Liu Guanqun back the same way and go to another place to see, maybe there will be something to discover.
The three of them came to the intersection before, and the road on the right was the direction of the tomb they had been to first. Now there are still two directions left directly in front and on the left. The second uncle took a flashlight and shone it around here, hoping to find some clues. Suddenly, at this intersection in front of me, I found a rune paper on the ground. The second uncle hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the rune paper and looked at it, this rune paper was one of the rune papers drawn by the village chief.
The second uncle hurriedly said to Liu Guanqun: "Master Liu, let's go in this direction, the body of the fifth child should have gone over there." ”
