Chapter 30: The Water Cave Soul Lamp
The old ghost and I immediately stopped where we were, and the large group of toads had already fled to the entrance of the cave, leaving only a few scattered toads, still swimming out desperately. The front of the water hole was dark and rumbling, and the flashlight couldn't shine that far, and the more it was like this, the more my heart was pounding and pounding.
"What will it be" I couldn't help but whisper to the old ghost, I didn't have the courage of him, I was extremely nervous, and my eyes were staring at the front, lest something terrible suddenly jump out.
Before the old ghost could reply, a shadow floated silently on the murky water in front of him, and suddenly appeared in the field of vision from the place where it turned in front. I shook the flashlight, and immediately saw that it was a coffin, a very ordinary wooden coffin, half submerged in the water, like an eerie ghost ship, swaying slightly on the water.
I took a slight step back, and the whole grave under the wasteland was blistered, and the coffin inside floated to the surface, which was not really a strange thing. But the somewhat decayed coffin swayed and floated over, always with a heart-pounding feeling.
"Ancestors." The old ghost stood motionless, looked at the coffin, and said slowly: "The junior came here to pick up something, disturbed everyone's quietness, read the friendship of the seven gates, and begged the ancestors not to blame."
The coffin didn't seem to be anything unusual, and it floated straight over, this must be the ancestors of the Sun family, and it can be regarded as the ancestors of our Hezizi. It has been silent, let my nervous mood relax a little, I and the old ghost stood on the side and did not move, the coffin floated to the side of the water, the years are too long, the coffin is rotten one by one, with countless black mold spots.
That large group of toads were scared off by this coffin? I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
I didn't know what to do, so I watched the coffin slowly float past me, and suddenly, the old ghost suddenly pulled me and pulled it backwards, and his strength was very strong, and he pulled me to the position of the wall, and my head was hit by the wood in the soil, and the Venus suddenly appeared in front of me.
burst
At the same time that the old ghost pulled me away, from the rotten coffin, he stretched out a hand, which must have wanted to catch me, but it was empty. I smelled an indescribable smell, and before I could react, the lid of the coffin slammed in half, and a shadow jumped out of it, reaching out and grabbing it, the hole was not very wide, and it forced us to the base of the wall.
At this moment, I saw a shadow jumping out of the coffin, it must have been a corpse, almost rotten, and there was a layer of rotten things between the cracks of the bones. I was shocked, and finally knew why something was wrong in this water hole, and my grandfather had said before that if there was no special reason, the dead would definitely not do anything.
The old ghost was very calm, and the moment the corpse was about to pounce on me, he suddenly punched it out. The old ghost's hands were very strong, full of strength, the corpse in the coffin had been put for many years, the bones were almost broken, the old ghost punched the corpse upside down and flew out, and before it fell, it had already scattered into several pieces, and fell into the water with a poof.
At this moment, a little flickering light wafted from the side of the water hole, very much like a small oil lamp, but under the illumination of the light, I saw that it was half a skull, and in the skull there was an unknown kind of lamp oil, and the bean-sized flame was not very vigorous, but it was extremely tenacious.
"Damn!" The green tendons on the old ghost's forehead jumped again, and he couldn't help but scold in his throat: "No wonder the ancestor's coffin is weird!" Someone is doing something! "
"How?" I looked at the little lamp that looked a little weird, and it seemed to float all the way to the coffin from the depths of the water hole.
"Someone is harming the descendants of the Sun family, and now they are destroying their ancestral tombs!" The old ghost clenched his fists and signaled me not to move, the small oil lamp has been shaking gently, and in an instant, the broken bones that have been scattered by the old ghost and fallen into the water, like a fish, turned out of the water with a bang, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat again, and I was on guard.
The messy broken bones floated on the water, jumping from time to time, and I used the ghost whip to move all the broken bones that floated over, but before I could retract the whip, the water in front of me flipped over, and the head of the corpse came out with half of the body at once, so close, and so suddenly, I had no room to react, and was immediately grabbed by the collar with one hand of the corpse, and the other hand grabbed at my neck.
I tried my best to block that hand, but this time the old ghost ignored me and pounced directly on the little oil lamp that was flickering. I vaguely sensed that the reason why the corpse was haunting me seemed to have something to do with this small lamp made of skulls. The old ghost was old, but his movements did not make the young man jump over, and then he reached out and slapped the small oil lamp under the water.
At that time, most people didn't understand any natural science, but many common senses still understood that water and fire were incompatible. However, this strange little oil lamp was slapped under the water by the old ghost, and the flames were not extinguished, and the flames reappeared, and the flames of beans were still burning tenaciously, and the fingertips of the corpse had touched my neck, and just like that, I fell up and down into the cold of an ice cellar.
"Lao Tzu can't extinguish your ghost lamp?!" The old ghost grabbed the small oil lamp as soon as he copied his hand, the lamp seemed to be very slippery, jumping back and forth in the old ghost's hands, vaguely, someone's miserable wail swirled in the empty water hole, I was terrified to hear it, and my hands subconsciously tried their best to get the corpse away.
The old ghost stretched out his two hands, stuck the oil lamp made of half a skull, took a sharp breath, and spat at the flickering flames. The dim flame couldn't even be extinguished with water, but it was spit on by the old ghost, and it immediately wilted, and the old ghost then took another breath, and the second spit sprayed over, and the flame struggled a few times, and the poofed was extinguished.
The moment the flames were extinguished, the hand that grabbed my collar hung limply like a deflated ball, and fell into the water with half of my body. The old ghost poured out the oil from the small oil lamp with his backhand, pressed the skull under the water, and the flame of the oil lamp was extinguished, and it never floated out of the water again.
I hurriedly slapped off all the slimy dirt on my body, the old ghost raised his hand to signal me to be lighter, he looked into the depths of the water hole, and said, "Baby, keep a snack, something must be wrong with the ancestral grave of the Sun family." "
"What was that little oil lamp?"
"The soul-attracting lamp of Yinshan Road, without this thing, the corpse can't be blamed." The old ghost frowned, looking very angry.
Yinshan Road, the earliest time is actually a side door of Taoism, they are good at all kinds of evil methods, before the liberation, the consistent Tao in the Yellow River on both sides of the Yellow River everywhere people, each consistent Taoist altar, there are people from Yinshan Road. Yinshan Road does have some ability, gods and ghosts, bluffed a lot of people, when the Kuomintang blew up the Huayuankou embankment, the Yellow River water poured thousands of miles, countless people fled the famine, and Yinshan Road has always been the way to take the opportunity to save people in the refugees, it is said that once, in front of many refugees, the people of Yinshan Road planted watermelons in a stone field, the green melon vines drilled outward in the cracks of the stones, a cup of tea, blossomed and fruited, the fist-sized watermelon eggs were as big as a basin in a blink of an eye, Many of the refugees ate the watermelons.
As soon as the old ghost said this, my heart was furious, the cemetery was originally so gloomy, if someone deliberately made trouble, it would be a big trouble. The old ghost pointed to the few pieces of wood that had begun to rot in the soil layer around him, and said, "This is the locust wood, the feng shui of the ancestral tomb of the Sun family." "
Locust wood is the most shady wood, if you don't believe it, you can go to the cemeteries or cemeteries around the country to see, any cemetery, will not plant locust trees. In the past, in the place of about ** ten miles away from the Xiaopan River, there is a village called Dahuaishu Village, the Yellow River rises in the flood season, the village is completely flooded, and many people are drowned, after the Dahuaishu Village is deserted, the house in the village collapses, only a locust tree that has grown for I don't know how many years is left at the entrance of the village, and it is left alone in the local area. The village was deserted, and the big locust tree slowly died, but for at least one or two decades after that, as long as you passed by the big locust tree in the middle of the night, you could often see a group of people squatting under the tree in the moonlight, and when it was dawn, those people were gone. My grandfather said that it was a person who drowned when the village was flooded, and he couldn't get rid of the big locust tree, and he would be tied up when he died, in short, it was very evil.
The old ghost's words reminded me of some things, I don't have such complicated thoughts, but after experiencing things, I have to think deeply. I began to feel that in addition to its own reasons, there must be other factors, and the old ghost said very clearly, someone is harming us. Qiqi's father, as well as my father, died abnormally. But being here, I can't think so carefully for the time being, the old ghost's scalp is very hard, and I know that something is wrong here, so I still want to break in.
There was a 30-degree turn in front of the water hole, and after going around, the terrain was lower, and the surrounding burial chambers were washed into a piece of water, and the water became rapid, and the water level under our feet suddenly became lower, but it was a piece of mud, not to the calf. The more scared I went, the more I felt something around me.
My feet were completely sunk in the muddy water, and occasionally I would be pricked by the mud debris, and I was so nervous that a piece of wood might have pierced the sole of my shoe and pierced the center of my foot, and I couldn't help but scream softly, and the old ghost immediately turned around and slapped me on the back of the head.
"Don't make a sound!"
"I couldn't help it, let the thing prick up." I muttered twice.
"Look at your little bit of interest! Don't say you know Lao Tzu when you go out! The old ghost walked as he watched the situation ahead with all his might.
I shook my head and pulled the soles off my shoes, focusing all my attention on the front, and when I glanced at it, I suddenly saw a small shadow running past me.
But when I looked back, I didn't see anything, and there was nothing behind me. I really can't tell if I'm wrong, but I don't dare to talk nonsense, lest the old ghost beat me again.
I was nervous, I turned my head back and forth, looking around, but I never saw anything. After looking at it for a while, I felt that I was really dazzled, and my emotional tension often led to all kinds of delusions. I sighed, but the moment I turned my head, I felt something tugging at the back of my clothes.
My heart kept in my throat, I felt that I was being dragged by something, and immediately turned my head reflexively, at that moment, my scalp was almost going to explode, and I tried my best to endure it, but I couldn't hold back.
