Chapter Twenty-Five: A Strange Conjuring
Xie Ling asked me: "I still remember that I used to be a farmer, a tall man with a big horse, and a tiger's back and a bear's waist." And the person in front of him is full of ribs and 'meat', he is thin, and he seems to be 'quite young'.
I walked on, and after walking a short distance, I came across another man hanging upside down, still motionless and unconscious.
The more I walked towards the lone lamp, the more people I encountered such upside down. Give me the most intuitive feeling, the dumb man hangs a lot of people here, and the position of the hanging is very particular, not arranged in a straight line, or left or right, as if there is some kind of law in zĂ i.
I chuckled in my heart, and said that he had set up a hundred ghost formations here. Isn't it that I've already broken into the formation?
This is a problem, so I can only keep going. When I came to the lone lamp, I saw that it was a dilapidated offering table, on which was a long-lasting lamp, and the flames the size of beans were burning slightly. Look left and right, but there is no one in sight.
I walked cautiously, not daring to touch anything above, but by the light of the fire, I looked around and saw that it was dark. This condensation is like substance, tightly wrapping the entire space. As I was looking at it, I suddenly saw something coldly, and I almost didn't die of fright.
In the darkness behind the offering table, a face suddenly appeared.
This is a man, with his eyes closed, his face is 'pale', and his face has been painted with cinnabar. The image is particularly similar to the zombies in Hong Kong ghost movies.
I held my breath and didn't dare to move, could it be that the dumb man had 'gotten' a batch of corpses here, and wanted to drive them out?
Based on the position of this face, he should be sitting in a high chair. This man is stiff and motionless, he must be dead. I turned on the flashlight and shone it through, and the light was transparent, and it actually illuminated.
Behind the offering table, there were actually some people sitting. The two of them sat in a row, one on the left and one on the right, and sat in many rows. I took a quick glance and it was supposed to be all male 'sex' sitting.
These people all have 'colored' iron blue faces, and their faces have been painted with cinnabar pens with strange patterns.
I cautiously walked over and saw that they were all 'naked' and had different words written on their chests. The four people in the front, the "chest" are each written with the words "east", "west", "north" and "south", and the "chest" of the back few people, some are written "loyalty", some are written "Yan", and some are written "Yu", I am a little 'confused', what does this mean?
As I walked, I was shocked when I came to a person and saw his words on his chest. It dawned on me what those words meant.
The word "wing" was written on the man's chest.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is also a "wing", is it the king of wings? The previous east, west, north and south, is the meaning of the king of the east, the king of the west, the king of the south, and the king of the north? These people are all kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?
I was stunned, my throat fluttering, impossible, how many years have these kings been dead? How could it be possible here. Shan said that the winged king Shi Dakai was defeated by the Dadu River, captured by the Qing army, and Ling Chi was executed. It's all chopped to slag, where did the corpse come from? Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and Wei Changhui, the king of the north, were hacked to death in the Tianjing mutiny, and their bones were gone. What's going on with these people in front of you?
I was thinking when I heard footsteps in the dark. Quickly extinguish the flashlight, and I hid behind the man with the word "Wing" written on his chest.
There was a person in the dark, and it was a mute. Judging by the faint light of the fire, the dumb man is really not ordinary, and he changed to such a set? Robes. A yellow 'colored' robe, with a red belt around his waist, a high crown on his head, and two big characters on it: Heavenly King.
Not to mention, people rely on clothes, horses and saddles, and dumb people wear this body, is it really a bit? The meaning of walking tiger step.
The mute stood in front of the offering table, with his hands behind his back, looking at the people sitting on the chairs below, and slowly pulled out a wooden box from his arms. After opening, it was covered with a velvet cushion, on which were green and golden, and two soul refining beads.
The mute walked back and forth twice, he put the two beads into his mouth, closed his eyes and groaned, and the flame of the ever-bright lamp on the table "poofed" and "messed" like a gust of wind. Secretly, there was the sound of the rope "squeaking". I could hear that the sound was coming from the people who were hanging upside down, the sound of the hanging rope swaying back and forth.
I held my breath and stared at the mute.
The dumb man's throat kept moving, the expression on his face was painful, and the light emitted by the green beads and gold beads could actually pierce his lips and emit it, which looked very bewitching.
At this time, the flames flickered more and more, and suddenly went out.
Secretly, I heard the sound of "gurgling" in my throat, and suddenly someone groaned.
I was so frightened that the person who sat on the ground and moaned was supposed to come from the person whose 'chest' was written 'East'.
The man gasped, laughed, and laughed in a 'gloomy' voice: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for many years. â
The mute is naturally mute, unable to speak, and can feel that he is looking at the person.
"Big brother, I know what you mean by recruiting us, you want to reorganize the Taiping World?" The man said with a smile.
The mute re-lit the lamp, and his face was uncertain. The man with "East" written on his chest came out of the chair while laughing, and his "legs" and feet were still a little uncomfortable, and he stumbled when he walked.
"After all these years, you and my brother are still ambitious. Although it failed last time, it may not be possible to go back to the old path this time. Big brother, thank you for luring me out of the 'yin' division, and we brothers can do a great job together. â
Hearing this, my brain exploded violently, damn it, could it be that Hong Xiuquan used the power of the two soul refining beads to recruit back the "souls" of those kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom before?
He is drawing souls, so that the souls of these kings will attach themselves to people, and they will come back to life and plot great things together.
Could it be that this "east" is Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east?
