Chapter 40: The Immortal City
Just a second before Grandpa Tai's consciousness was about to collapse, the gold-inlaid black knife on his waist began to shine with a faint light, although this light was dim, if you look closely, you will definitely be able to find the rune. The place where the rune appeared was not only on the gold-inlaid black knife, but even the pattern slowly appeared on the shoulder of the grandfather. This pattern is the one on the carriage of the Nine Masters, square, and the pattern is unpredictable, and it can only be seen at this moment. The pattern is composed of short straight lines, which actually form a picture. In the picture, a flying dragon is swimming upstream, and below is the boiling river, and on both sides of the river is a flower and a leaf.
The line of life and death, but after all, a life was saved, although my grandfather saved his life, but he felt that the back of his neck was hot as if a piece of meat had been ripped out.
"It's good to be stupid." The girl didn't say much, but took out another bag of things and sprinkled a lot of it on the back of her grandfather's neck.
Grandpa Tai had just endured the pain, the cloth in his mouth was almost chewed, and his teeth were oozing red blood. After the girl sprinkled the bag, she took out the rags from her grandfather's mouth.
"What are you doing?" Grandpa asked as soon as he opened his mouth, but his mouth was too strong and he was a little stiff.
"What? Know this? The girl smiled softly, and picked up the sharp knife in front of her grandfather's eyes, so frightened that the grandfather shrank back, for fear that the sharp knife would hurt herself.
When Grandpa Tai settled down, he found that the sharp knife in the girl's hand actually picked up a small face, which was only half the size of a palm, but there was a mouth and a nose and a mouth that kept screaming, and the appearance of the cloak and blood was even more terrifying.
"What the hell is this?" Grandpa Tai was cautious when he saw it, but he wanted to know what this thing was in front of him.
"Take a closer look, don't you recognize this face?" The girl deliberately played tricks on her grandfather, and put the little face in front of her grandfather's eyes.
"I don't know." Grandpa Tai already felt sick in his stomach, and anyone would be disgusted when he looked at this thing.
"Don't look? If you don't look at me, I'll let you eat it. The girl pinched her grandfather's cheek and pulled his mouth open.
"I'll see, I'll see." Grandpa knew that this girl could do what she said, so he could only quickly compromise.
This time, Grandpa Tai can only take a closer look, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, this look almost scared Grandpa to death. Originally, the pain just now had scared my grandfather out of consciousness, and this time it drained the blood on my grandfather's face, and pointed to the person's face trembling and said, "This... This is my second mother, how did she become like this? ”
"I'll have to ask you."
"Ask me what?" Grandpa Tai asked timidly, thinking that he wouldn't have come to me for revenge, right?
"You killed her?"
"Nope." This kind of thing can't be admitted, grandpa Tai has already made up his mind in his heart.
"Lied, ate her for me!"
"Yes, yes, yes. She was stabbed to death by me. ”
"What else did you do to her?"
"At that time, there was a fire, and she inexplicably only had one skin left, and I used her to drape herself on my body to escape."
"That's all?"
"Yes, that's all." As soon as Grandpa finished speaking, he remembered a small detail from before.
"What should you think of again?"
"She's got zombie blood on this skin, does that count?"
"That's it, this thing is called a corpse-faced doll." When the girl had said this, she threw the man in the face to the ground and stepped on it with a fierce kick.
The mournful female voice didn't last long before it stopped abruptly, leaving only a fishy smell that made people sick. The girl slowly moved her feet away, and all that was left on the ground was a pool of black blood and messy hair.
"What is a corpse-faced doll?" Grandpa Tai moved his neck, only to see things falling down his neck, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a scaly black jade.
"Corpse-faced dolls, zombies can still leave blood after being alienated, not so much blood as zombie resentment. The resentment was extremely heavy, and it merged into black blood, and the black blood stained the female corpse. Yin on yin, this kind of thing will be born, if no one touches it, it will be fine, once someone touches the slightest, this corpse-faced doll will be greedy for yang energy and burrow into the human body. You put on that human skin, and the corpse-faced doll will naturally get into the root of your neck. ”
"This thing was picked out from the back of my neck?" Although my grandfather had already guessed seven or eight points, the feeling I heard from other people's mouths was always uncomfortable.
"Or else? You should have felt the hair on the back of your neck since that day, but nothing was there when you touched it with your hands. ”
"Yes." My grandfather remembered that he used to have an itch on the back of his neck, and when he scratched it, there was nothing.
"That's it, the corpse-faced doll has grown hair, and it's in your body, so it's no wonder it's not itchy."
"This thing grows up eating human blood?" Grandpa Tai swallowed violently, and anyone who had this kind of thing in his body would be uncomfortable.
"Yes, but not with her mouth, but with her hair. The corpse-faced doll is born with one hair, but one life is two, two is four, four is eight, and then it will be endless. And the longer the hair grows, the more people will eat, and in the end, the hair will be sucked dry. All that is left of the person is a pair of skins, and hair fills the whole body. At that time, people were nothing more than the skins of corpse-faced dolls, and corpse-faced dolls would look for the next host everywhere through the stinky skins. The girl said lightly, as if she had become accustomed to such things.
"Sister, you help me look at my neck, why do I still feel itchy."
"If there is an obsession in the heart, there will be a feeling in the body." The girl wiped the knife on her grandfather's body, and then put it away.
"Oh, don't rub it on me, it's disgusting."
"Disgusting? This thing was dug out of your neck, and you're sick now. The girl rolled her eyes, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with her grandfather's accusations.
"Then you'll help me take another look and pick it out?"
"Talk more, cut out your tongue." The girl's eyes narrowed, and her grandfather was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth.
"Can you ask a few more questions?"
"Say." This girl is really decisive, and she speaks and acts neatly.
"Why do I have this black jade on the back of my neck?"
"Turtle, this thing is black jade wood, if there is something unclean on the body, the evil thing sleeping on it will be trapped by the black jade wood."
"Oh, then this is Granny Li Yan's arrangement?"
"I don't know." The girl didn't think about it, but she was clearly lying.
"Why are you here to help me?"
"Don't answer."
"If you pull this thing out of the back of my neck, won't I bleed too much to death?"
"I've drugged you."
"What kind of medicine?"
"Incense ash."
"......" Grandpa Tai's eyes rolled, and he almost lost his breath.
"Not happy?"
"Does this thing stop the bleeding? It's going to die. "Grandpa Tai really can't cry or laugh, where have I ever seen someone use incense ash to stop bleeding.
"Are you dead?"
"Nope."
"That's it, okay, I've got to leave when it's done." The girl clapped her hands, turned her head and left.
"Thank you."
"I want to ask what is the name of this village?"
"How do you know?" Grandpa Tai was shocked, how can this girl be virtuous with Li Yan, she knows everything.
"Remember, this is called the Immortal City, so don't run around."
"Why are you telling me this?" Grandpa watched the girl go farther and farther away and shouted.
"Because no one can get this secret out." The girl's figure had disappeared into the darkness, and behind the coldness, Grandpa felt an indescribable sadness.
