Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Ghost Groom

I couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth, just as I reached out to get some cinnabar from the backpack behind me and make some formation or something. The man in black suddenly said behind me, "Don't be busy, this is the only way to deal with this thing." I was startled and thought, "Can't you just say hello first?" Such a surprise. "I was really scared, people were really scared, and now I have goosebumps all over my body.

I saw the man in black with a "click" and lit the strip of cloth on the mouth of the two-pot bottle we brought. We brought several bottles with us, the purpose was to ward off the cold, and it could also be used as bone-setting wine, and it could also be used to light a fire, which is a must-have for traveling. The man in black threw the lit two-pot bottle into the sedan chair, and not long after, with a "jump", the sedan chair began to catch fire. I'm dumbfounded, but this method is okay? I used to be so rigid, I just thought about using Taoism to deal with it, but I didn't expect such a rogue method to be done. It's really a strong wine breaking technique, and it's not ambiguous at all.

The sedan chair was burned to ashes in an instant, and the big man with the firewood knife said worriedly: "Are you not afraid of offending the flower ghost king?" Dorjee said in horror: "What is the king of broken flowers, I will catch it and drink it later." I estimate that the "surprise" in Dorjee's words is eighty percent of the surprise what the name of this product is. The big man continued: "Thank you for saving my sister today, originally my sister was going to marry this flower ghost king. Dorjee asked curiously: "A big living person, why do you want to give it to a ghost?" Dahan sighed and said, "This is a long story. I immediately interrupted the story that the big man was about to tell and said, "Don't say it yet, when we pack our luggage first, what will we say in your room?" Since we are in charge of this matter, we will definitely take care of it to the end. As soon as I said this, Dahan also nodded again and again, and helped us pack our luggage on the hillside.

When we came to Dahan's house, there was still a little girl in the room, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, staring at us with big eyes. The big man touched the little girl's head and said, "Don't be afraid, it was these uncles who saved you." The little girl nodded, but did not speak. I thought to myself, "yes, who can be calm when this happens?" How much more is it a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child? ”

When we all sat down, Dahan poured tea for us and said apologetically: "I didn't mean to drive you away this afternoon, it's because of tonight's incident, I'm afraid it will affect you." The people in the village probably think the same way, after all, you are outsiders. I said nonchalantly, "What the hell is going on?" Dahan said unhurriedly: "Our whole village is surnamed Qiao, my name is Qiao Shan, my sister's name is Qiao Ling, if you talk about this flower ghost king, you have to start from hundreds of years ago." I thought to myself, "Hundreds of years ago, could this thing still have a little bit of a new origin?" Qiao Shan continued: "This flower ghost king, every twenty years, our village has to pay him a tribute to a young girl as a bride, I don't know how many years it has been, but it has definitely been hundreds of years. Dorjee asked, "Then why don't you run, can't the whole village be gone?" Qiao Shan sighed and said with a lonely expression: "We can't go out of the whole village, as long as we want to leave here, we will turn back after a few days outside." ”

"Ghost hitting the wall" I thought to myself, this must be a ghost hitting the wall. I asked, "Then you didn't think of anything else?" Qiao Shan continued: "I thought about it, of course I thought about it, until now we only know that the Flower Ghost King is in a cave in the back mountain, and we don't know anything else, no matter how many people we go into, none of them can come out." I thought to myself, "This grandson is raising everyone here in captivity, and this IQ will definitely not be low." Dorjee said angrily: "This bastard, I will catch him later, and take care of his grandson." I turned my head and asked the man in black and said, "Senior He, have you ever seen this situation?" The man in black shook his head and said, "It's also the first time I've heard of such a thing. The man in black asked Qiao Shan, "Then do you know what happened to this flower ghost king?" ”

Qiao Shan thought for a while and said: "I heard from the ancestors, this flower ghost king was escorted by a team of officers and soldiers when he came, and he didn't know why he didn't leave here, and then, this flower ghost king appeared, and asked us to send him a girl as a wife every twenty years, otherwise we won't be peaceful." At first, no one was willing, but then the Flower Ghost King killed a lot of people in the village, and there was no way, so everyone could only do what he wanted. ”

Dorjee said angrily: "TMD, and this b-thing, big brother, what do you think?" "Dorjee usually doesn't swear, it seems that he is really angry today. I said lightly to the man in black: "Senior He, even if we ask again, it is estimated that there will be no clues, why don't we go and see what this thing is about." The man in black nodded and said, "Well, since we met, we can't ignore it, let's clean up and go take a look." When Qiao Shan heard us say this, he was also very excited, saying that he wanted to lead the way.

When we simply packed up our things, Johnson lit the torches and took us out the door. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a lot of people standing in the courtyard, and by the light of the torches, I could see all kinds of expressions in the eyes of these people: numbness, gratitude, fear, and worry...... Qiao Shan was obviously stunned at first when he saw so many villagers, and then said loudly: "Folks, three masters are here today, who can help us get rid of the Flower Ghost King, now I will take them with me, you all go back and wait for the good news, you see, those welcoming teams were eliminated by these three masters." ”

As soon as Qiao Shan finished speaking, an old man who obviously took the lead knelt down with a cane, and then all the people in the courtyard knelt down one by one. When the three of us saw this, we immediately went up to help, but no matter how we pulled, no matter how we said, they just wouldn't stand up. As soon as I pulled one up, I was about to pull the second, and who knows which one started and knelt down again. In this way, it was endless, and in the end, Qiao Shan also knelt down.

In addition to helplessness, it is still helplessness. What kind of situation can make a person like this? Hundreds of years of high pressure and high risk, living in fear, every day in fear, afraid that one day another difficulty will befall you? It seems that this flower ghost king is not as simple as finding a bride after only twenty years.

We didn't bother with them, we walked through the crowd and down the path to the back hill. When Qiao Shan saw us leaving, he immediately got up, carried a firewood knife and a torch and followed us back to the mountain. Dorjee's swear words along the way, relying on TM and TM kept scolding. I also scolded secretly in my heart, and I really wanted to see what this flower ghost king looked like right away. I swear that if I catch this flower ghost king, I will let him enjoy it.

After an hour's hike up the mountain, we came to the mouth of a cave in the back mountain. I thought to myself: "This stupid b, dare to set up his nest so close to the village, and dare to let the villagers know about his nest, I am really confident in myself." Today he will taste the price of his overconfidence. Regardless of whether it is the Longtan Tiger's Den inside, we are also going to break through today.

Originally, Qiao Shan wanted to go in with us, but was stopped by the man in black, who handed him a flashlight, asked for his torch, and asked him to wait at the entrance of the cave. I guess even if he goes in, it won't help much, and maybe we'll have to be distracted to take care of him. When we were about to enter the cave, I put a soul charm on him and said, "If you think something is wrong, you can leave quickly, you know?" He nodded solemnly, his expression, I only saw it on the face of the standard-bearer when the national flag was raised [***].

The entrance of this cave is not very large, and it gradually gets bigger and wider after entering. Dorjee and I walked in this cave for about five minutes with torches, and we found nothing in the tunnel, and there was no fork in the tunnel, just one road, no other choice. There is no sinister atmosphere. We opened our eyes to talent before we entered the cave, and we didn't find anything to point out.

After walking for about five minutes, there were traces of artificial excavation in the cave, and I felt a trace of yin and evil breath coming out of the cave, and there were still some bones on the ground from time to time. It seems that they are all the villagers who took revenge by going to the cave. When we turned a corner of about 30 degrees, the cave suddenly opened up, about the size of three basketball courts, more than ten meters high, and the traces of artificial excavation in the cave were even more obvious. In the middle of the cave, a sarcophagus lay flat on the ground, and around the sarcophagus, sixteen corpses were neatly placed, looking at the hair and bones, like the girls who had been brought here before. Sixteen bodies, three hundred and twenty years, counting Qiao Ling, a total of three hundred and forty years. The park began around 1660, which should have been the early years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty.

Out of these, there is nothing in this cave, and this exit where we stand is the only entrance and exit of this cave. I took out cinnabar, arranged some formations at the entrance of the cave, and took out two Heavenly Thunder Talismans and pasted them on the outside of the cave wall. The man in black looked at my movements, smiled and complimented, "It seems that you are getting more and more sophisticated." I smiled and said, "Cut off this kid's retreat first." Then play with him slowly. ”

We were excited, but not impulsive, and looked at everything in the cave to make sure there were no traps. I saw that Dorjee took the lead in a lion mark again, and then stretched his hands to the left and right as much as possible, put his head together, and then took it down to his chest. After the outer binding, the index and middle fingers are put together to form a sword. Attach the head finger to the back, then clench the two hands into a fist of wrath, interlace the upper little finger, sing a "weak" sound, and bend the bicephal; and sang the sound of "piece". Combine the inner surface of the two index fingers together, and sing "button" again, like a hook together; Sing "Hu" again, and then put your wrists together and wave them heavily. The two seals are one to become one with the Vajra Buddha to bless their own bodies, and the other is to gather the power of the four Bodhisattvas such as Vajra Hook, Vajra, Vajra, and Vajra Bell to bless themselves. On that day, when Dorjee fought against the big man who was more than two meters tall, with muscles like a hill, and could be afraid of red-haired zombies with a slap, he was blessed with these two handprints.

It seems that Dorjee came up and made a big move. I'm basically a ranged attack player, and the man in black belongs to the kind of player who has an old family and a treasure, and when it matters most, the experience of the man in black can be life-saving. Dorjee walked up to the sarcophagus as if he had descended from heaven and kicked the lid of the sarcophagus open. How can this sarcophagus cover be more than 200 pounds, this kick, kicking people, must be kicked to death. I thought to myself: "Even if there are red-haired zombies lying inside, Dorjee estimates that he can do it in two moves at most." "But I'm not idle in my hands, a Heavenly Thunder Talisman and a Corpse Fixing Talisman are ready.

Dorjee walked to the sarcophagus, I thought that Dorjee would ignore the thirty-seven twenty-one, and it would be a knife when it would go up, but I didn't expect Dorjee to be stunned. I thought he had fallen under some kind of magic, so I hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" It's evil. Dorjee paused for a few seconds before shouting, "Come and see, what is this?" Dorjee's shouts echoed in the empty cavern, and the man in black and I hurried to the front of the sarcophagus, also with an incredulous face.

Inside the sarcophagus lay a man who seemed to be asleep, with long hair and beard, and some of his clothes were rotten, but every part of his body was intact, and his chest was still a little undulating when he looked closely. Looking at the clothes he was wearing, it didn't seem to be from the Qing Dynasty, and his hair didn't have braids. The man in black said: "This person seems to be from the Great Shun Dynasty. ”

Dashun Dynasty is the dynasty established by Li Zicheng at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the time is short, but when Li Zicheng entered Yanjing, he robbed the Ming Dynasty of hundreds of years of wealth accumulation, and later when the Qing army entered Yanjing, it was only an empty city. Later, Li Zicheng was defeated, turned to the south, and resisted the Qing army with the Southern Ming Dynasty, but he still failed after coming. And the whereabouts of the countless treasures that Li Zicheng snatched from Yanjing back then have always been a mystery.

The man in black said: "Judging from this person's clothing, he is a person from the Dashun Dynasty back then, and he also has a certain official position. "In this sarcophagus, on the left hand side of this corpse, there is a knife about seventy centimeters long. On the scabbard, it seems that there are also gemstones. Dorjee's hand was the fastest, and he took out the knife in the coffin one by one, and I couldn't stop it. Thankfully, nothing happened.

The scabbard of this knife is inlaid with a few gems, and I don't know about the gems, and I can't tell whether they are real or fake, and I guess they won't be fake. Dorjee looked at the scabbard, and then pulled out the knife, which was already a little rusty, but still shining. Dorjee looked at it, threw it on the ground next to it and said, "It's a pity, it's rusty." I thought to myself, "Damn, it's an antique, maybe it's still a valuable object." ”

When I was about to pick it up, the man in black suddenly said, "You see, this guy doesn't seem to be dead." ”
