It is said that Zhang Qiang basically hadn't seen anything strange before this day, Zhang Qiang's life was still very smooth, although he had heard the old man say it or seen some weird plots in a ghost novel, but it was only fiction after all.

But on this day, Zhang Qiang opened his eyes, and all the strange things popped out on the same day like a market.

Zhang Qiang turned his head and found that an old man appeared behind him at some point, of course, if you said that you had guessed it a long time ago, the general story is like this, then Zhang Qiang has nothing to do, but at least it proves that a lot of writing is not groundless.

The old man wore a straw hat that must have been worn out, and a white undershirt, which had been soaked by the rain at this time, and he had a bamboo tube made of bamboo around his waist, and held a short knife in his right hand, on which a pattern resembling a black dragon was carved, and the blade was also very strange, not straight, but curved like a snake, and the whole body was black, which made people look uneasy.

Zhang Qiang sat on the ground calmly, at this time, even if the strangely dressed old man in front of him was a villain, Zhang Qiang couldn't do anything, because the poisonous gas seemed to have spread along the wound to the whole body, at this time Zhang Qiang's throat had begun to numb, and his chest seemed to be pressed with a huge stone, making Zhang Qiang breathless.

At this moment, the old man suddenly walked over quickly, grabbed Zhang Qiang's right foot with one hand, and pointed the strange knife at Zhang Qiang's wound with the other hand, and the sharp tip of the knife stabbed into it suddenly. Zhang Qiang's heart suddenly lifted up with the piercing of his knife, but to Zhang Qiang's surprise, there was no pain as he imagined.

The strange-shaped knife entered Zhang Qiang's body as if it had life, and it was gently stretched inside, the old man's brows tightened, and suddenly his brows relaxed, and then two white fangs popped out of Zhang Qiang's wound.

Zhang Qiang immediately felt a lot refreshed, the old man glanced at Zhang Qiang, stood up quietly, stepped on the little monster who was still twitching on the ground, and then gently picked it with his foot, the monster soared in the air, the old man quickly slashed the monster's chest with a knife, and then caught the injury, used the knife to rip out the fresh meat inside, put it in front of Zhang Qiang and said: "Eat it." ”

Zhang Qiang didn't know why, but it was better for Zhang Qiang's body than to think of the monster's disgusting appearance, Zhang Qiang's stomach acid was about to be vomited, but he was also helpless, Zhang Qiang swallowed the monster's meat.

Don't look at the monster is disgusting, but the taste of this meat is very delicious, it melts in the mouth, there seems to be a faint fragrance, and there is a faint sweetness on the tip of the tongue, but Zhang Qiang didn't dare to chew it, and swallowed it directly.

Zhang Qiang had eaten the meat, and the "pheasant" had already flown back, and at this time it still had a half-dead little monster in its mouth.

After eating the meat, Zhang Qiang felt that his body was gradually recovering, and only then did he feel a burst of pain in his calf, and Zhang Qiang struggled to stand up.

The old man immediately stopped Zhang Qiang and said, "You sit here first, rest, rest, don't move." ”

Zhang Qiang nodded hurriedly, and then asked suspiciously, "Excuse me, what are these things?" Why haven't you seen it before? ”

The old man slightly, layers of wrinkles appeared on his face, and then said, "These things are called climbing, and it's normal that you haven't seen them, because the living conditions of this kind of thing are quite special!" ”

"Special?" Zhang Qiang was even more puzzled.

Zhang Qiang sat on the ground in confusion, what special place could grow such a special creature?

The old man ignored Zhang Qiang, continued to walk forward, and stepped on the "pheasant" to blind the climber as he walked, and then pulled out a knife to cut the climber's chest, and then threw it into the bamboo basket on his waist.

And the "pheasant" is standing next to Zhang Qiang at this time, at first glance this "pheasant" is not special, but if you look closely, you will find that the pheasant's eyes are surprisingly small, and there are several black moles on the red cockscomb, at this time it holds its head high, like a heroic guard.

The old man picked up all the way and finally returned to Zhang Qiang's side, and then said coldly: "You stand up now and try!" ”

Zhang Qiang nodded hurriedly, and then struggled to get up from the ground with his hands supporting his body, probably because he had been sitting on the cold ground for too long, Zhang Qiang's waist was a little numb, gritted his teeth and stood up, and suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

The old man couldn't help laughing when he saw it, Zhang Qiang said in his heart, damn it, seeing Zhang Qiang fall and not helping him, where else is it really immoral to laugh, but thinking that he saved Zhang Qiang's life just now, he couldn't help but say nothing.

"What's your name? How did you get here? When Zhang Qiang finally stood up, the old man turned his head and looked around vigilantly and said.

"My name is Zhang Qiang, a postman in the county!"

"You're here to deliver a message?" The old man said incredulously.

"Well, yes, a letter to Cao Yu Village!" As soon as Zhang Qiang's words came out, he noticed that the old man's face changed slightly, and his brows twisted slightly.

"By the way, you catch these...... What do these climbers do? For a while, Zhang Qiang almost forgot the name of the murderer who almost attempted to murder him.

The old man smiled and said, "Didn't you just want to know where this thing grew up?" ”

Zhang Qiang nodded hurriedly, Zhang Qiang has always had a hobby of hunting. Today, if you don't die, you can still see such a strange animal, of course, you have to ask.

"Come with me!" Saying that, the old man turned his head and walked towards the depths of the valley, Zhang Qiang followed, and the "pheasant" quickly ran in front of the old man and opened the way in front.

"You trained this pheasant?" Zhang Qiang asked curiously as he walked.

"Pheasant?" The old man repeated Zhang Qiang's words, then laughed, and continued, "It's not a pheasant, Zhang Qiang will slowly tell you for a while!" ”

Zhang Qiang was a little confused by the monk, and secretly bit his finger behind him, until he was sure that he was not in a deep dream, he continued to walk behind him, the old man looked more than sixty years old, but he did not show a trace of old dragon clock when he walked. On the contrary, Zhang Qiang was quickly left behind by him.

The road leading to the front was completely covered with wild grass, so the further forward it became, the more difficult it became, and after a narrow valley, the front suddenly became clear, and the two mountains formed a small basin here.

The wild grass in this basin seemed to be more lush than the outside, and there was a dark black in the emerald green, and for some reason Zhang Qiang's body suddenly shuddered a little when he was standing here.

"Here are the three hundred and fifty-two villagers of Cao Yu Village buried!" The old man said word by word, as if every word hit Zhang Qiang's heart like a bell.

In fact, Zhang Qiang has always been a fan of ghost stories, among which of course it is not uncommon to see all kinds of strange deaths, or a large number of people suddenly died, but after all, it was fiction, but when Zhang Qiang stood on the barren grass, when he heard the old man's words, he felt an unprecedented shock, as if those people were standing alive in the rain at this time.

"They're all buried here?" Zhang Qiang struggled out of the panic and said.

The old man nodded, and then continued to walk forward, Zhang Qiang followed behind him with extra caution with every step he took, for fear that suddenly a powerful ghost would come out of the grass, of course, these fantasies came from some more bloody ghost movies.

After walking for about two minutes, the old man suddenly stopped, Zhang Qiang followed cautiously, he turned his head to look at Zhang Qiang and said, "Look ahead!" ”

When Zhang Qiang saw this scene, he was speechless! Zhang Qiang has been searching for this appropriate adjective in his mind, spectacular, terrifying, it seems to have all of them, but it can't summarize what he sees in front of him.

In front of Zhang Qiang's eyes, a bare red sand beach appeared, and the sand was densely lined with small graves, many of which had been dug caverns, broken and rotten coffin boards, and offspring nails, scattered in the red sand beach, and there would be a few horrific bones.

Zhang Qiang subconsciously licked his lips and looked at the rain-soaked red sand beach in front of him with a dumbfounded gaze.

Suddenly, the head of the "pheasant" suddenly raised, its wings flapped rapidly, and the several colorful fluff on the back of its neck all stood upright, and the crown of the head was congested, and the black moles became more and more obvious.

Zhang Qiang had a premonition that he didn't want to, and when this feeling appeared, the ominous thing had already come, and with the flapping of the wings of the "pheasant", several cyan creepers jumped out of the holes of those dilapidated graves.

The climbers in front of them were obviously much larger than those seen outside, not only did their bodies grow a lot, but their bodies were also a lot more bloated, the most obvious thing was that the color of their bodies changed from the original dark black to light cyan, and they bent their bodies and jumped in their direction.

At this moment, Zhang Qiang kept secretly scolding that damn "pheasant" in his heart, even if he had just seen its power, but so many huge climbers, I am afraid it would be difficult to deal with, as the so-called two fists are hard to beat four hands.

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. What's more, Zhang Qiang was just bitten by this half-snake and half-rat guy and almost lost his life. So at this time, the first thought that flashed in Zhang Qiang's mind was to slip away, but he couldn't bear to leave the old man to support him independently, and he died.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang bowed down and picked up a stone, who would have thought that at this moment, those climbers rushed over as if they had suddenly gone crazy, and it seemed that all the goals of climbing Kui turned to Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang hurriedly stepped back, the old man quickly blocked in front of Zhang Qiang, holding the short knife in his hand, the "pheasant" was still flapping its wings, animals are animals, what else could Zhang Qiang ask for it?

The old man's knife technique is very special, not only is the knife extremely fast, but also the knife hits the vital point. Zhang Qiang was looking hard, and suddenly found that a climber had jumped in front of Zhang Qiang, his heart was tight, and he suddenly had strength under his feet, and he wanted to run while pulling his legs, and looking back while running, the climber followed Zhang Qiang closely. Zhang Qiang cursed in his heart, could it be that Zhang Qiang is too handsome? Do you have to bite Zhang Qiang to stop?

At this moment, Zhang Qiang suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and his whole body instantly lost his center of gravity, and then there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and his body fell rapidly, until there was a sharp pain in his body.

Opening his eyes, Zhang Qiang hurriedly looked around vigilantly, just stepped on the air and fell into a tomb, under his body were rotten coffin boards, Zhang Qiang quickly picked up a descendant nail from the ground, and held it tightly in his hand, lest Climb Kui also fall in.

At this moment, a trace of blue light suddenly flashed in the dark cave in front of him, and Zhang Qiang was stunned, couldn't it be the eyes of a ghost?

When I was a child, I always listened to my grandfather's house in the countryside tell them ghost stories, and the appearance of the ghosts in those stories was always the same long hair shawl, wearing pajamas, and eyes flashing with a sharp blue light.

Zhang Qiang stared at the blue light in front of him, holding the descendant nail tightly in his hand, his palms were already full of sweat at some point, and his spine was cold. Damn it, what is it in front of you, the blue flickering flicker, it is really like a pair of eyes that keep blinking.

But suddenly, the flickering blue light increased, gathered in front of Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang swallowed his saliva, and the muscles in his body instantly tensed, this originally small tomb should not have so many powerful ghosts.

They were in a stalemate like this for a long time, and seeing that the blue light in front of them did not seem to pose a threat to Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time he couldn't help but think of the climber, and since Zhang Qiang fell into the tomb, he has not found the whereabouts of the ghost thing.

At this moment, the old man suddenly ran over in a hurry and said loudly, "Are you okay?" ”

Zhang Qiang immediately seemed to have met a savior, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, hurry, hurry up and pull me up." ”

What made Zhang Qiang regret was this sentence, the originally calm blue light instantly began to stir, only to see several blue light spots scurrying around, colliding, and then gathering together, Zhang Qiang gasped, and they gathered extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the scattered blue light spots in front of him quickly turned into several scattered large balls of light, and the speed at which they collided with each other was much slower. Zhang Qiang wanted not to stay too long, no matter what that thing was, it was definitely not a good kind.

The old man reached in after hearing Zhang Qiang's words, but the tomb was three meters high, no matter how Zhang Qiang jumped out, he couldn't catch the old man's hand at all, the edge of the tomb was smooth and abnormal, and there was no place for his hands and feet to focus at all.

Seeing that strange blue ball of light getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Qiang was in a hurry, so he was more and more anxious, and suddenly Zhang Qiang remembered the children and grandchildren nails in his hand, Zhang Qiang immediately bowed down and groped in the middle of the rotten coffin board, presumably there were other nails, and these nails could be nailed to the tomb wall to climb the stairs.

After rummaging for a long time, he finally found two more, Zhang Qiang picked up a coffin fragment and nailed the nail to the wall of the tomb, just knocked a few times, the coffin fragment was shattered, Zhang Qiang immediately picked up the other one, and it was too late to think about it at this time.

There were only two blue balls left, each the size of a lead ball, and they were suspended in mid-air, and they seemed to be ready to go, and the old man was in a hurry on the tomb but could not do anything about it.

After wasting a few pieces of the coffin, the first nail was finally firmly fixed to the tomb wall, and now the old man could pull Zhang Qiang up with just one more nail. Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang stepped on the first nail and struck the second nail hard.

The eyes observed the movement of the blue light from time to time, and the fragments of the coffin cracked again, and at this moment, Zhang Qiang suddenly found that the climber who had been following Zhang Qiang had been hanging upside down above the tomb, and he was hunched at this time, and it was estimated that he was about to attack.

Zhang Qiang was startled, and all the strength of his body was pressed on the children and grandchildren under his feet, the tomb wall was not solid soil, and most of the body was attached to the wall when he stood on it, so he could barely exert his strength, this time all the pressure on the children and grandchildren nails of course could not bear it, Zhang Qiang only felt that his feet were empty, and the whole person fell backwards and fell over.

At the moment when Zhang Qiang fell, Zhang Qiang's eyes caught a glimpse of one of the blue balls of light suddenly rushing over, hitting Crawling Kui's body, the blue light disappeared, and Crawling Kui curled twice and fell to the ground. Zhang Qiang lay on the ground and looked at Crawling Kui not far away, and after a few strokes, he stopped moving, but its stomach kept emitting blue light.

Zhang Qiang subconsciously glanced at another blue ball of light, and couldn't help but tremble, that ball of light had already flown towards Zhang Qiang at some point!

Needless to say, the power of this thing Zhang Qiang has already seen it just now, and Zhang Qiang doesn't want to become the next climber. People can often burst out with amazing potential when they are in danger, and Zhang Qiang has always felt that this sentence should be comforted by Zhang Qiang.

However, when the blue ball of light wanted Zhang Qiang to fly over, in a panic, Zhang Qiang's hand suddenly grabbed a slightly larger coffin board behind him, and then blocked it in front of him with all his might, only to hear a "bang", and the blue ball of light hit the coffin board, and the coffin board burned in an instant.

Zhang Qiang hurriedly threw it towards the hole in the tomb, the old man was obviously startled by Zhang Qiang's sudden action, fortunately he reacted quickly, and immediately fell backwards, and the burning coffin fragments had been burned to ashes before they fell to the ground.

Strangely, those blue points of light disappeared without a trace as soon as they reached the ground.

"What do you kid do?" The old man said indignantly.

At this time, Zhang Qiang sat paralyzed on the ground, panting, the thrilling scene just now had scared Zhang Qiang to the point of dissipation, and it took a long time for Zhang Qiang to come back to his senses, looked up and said, "Pull me up first!" ”

The old man was not annoyed, Zhang Qiang nailed the two children and grandchildren to the wall according to the previous routine, climbed the stairs, and returned to the ground again, the rain had become a lot lighter, and the corpse of the dead climber was placed not far away, it seemed that Zhang Qiang did underestimate the strength of the old man and the "pheasant" just now.

However, Zhang Qiang has always wondered why those climbers seem to be crazy when they see Zhang Qiang?

The old man patted Zhang Qiang's shoulder, looked Zhang Qiang up and down with an almost strange gaze, and then walked over to the corpses without saying a word, Zhang Qiang also looked at himself, there was nothing unusual, although there would be bursts of stinging pain on his calf from time to time.

The old man hunched over and picked up the dead climbers one by one, and then put them in the bamboo basket, and then returned to Zhang Qiang and said, "It's not early, do you still want to go to Cao Yu Village now?" ”

Zhang Qiang hesitated, shook his head and said, "Tomorrow!" ”

"Then you can come to my house and stay overnight!" Saying that, the old man sighed, and then turned back, there was a fork in the road that had just entered the valley, the old man chose a road leading to the top of the mountain, and after turning over a beam, Zhang Qiang finally saw that there was a not too big village in the col, about seven or eight households.

After going down the mountain, there was a big stone tablet at the entrance of the village, which was engraved with three blood-red characters "Caoyang Village", Zhang Qiang was shocked, it turned out that the names of the two villages were taken relatively.

At the entrance of Caoyang Village, there is a old locust tree with a crooked neck that has withered, about two or three people are embracing it about the same thickness, and a new branch has emerged above the dry trunk. The village is quiet and all the doors are locked.

The most conspicuous place in this village is that the courtyard wall is particularly high, about two meters, all made of green bricks, and the courtyard is higher, which looks like a huge tombstone erected doorway from a distance.

The old man took Zhang Qiang to the innermost house in the village, pushed open the door, and a cold wind suddenly blew in his face, Zhang Qiang was stunned for a moment, this feeling made Zhang Qiang feel a little familiar. R1058
