Chapter 17: The Ghost Market (I)
Tofu looked scared, and then went on, telling us that the real horror is still to come. He carried Ouyang Xuan on his back, took the corpse immortal, flashlight, looked for the footprints on the ground and returned the same way. Out of psychological effect, he always felt that the dried corpses hanging on the trees behind him seemed to be staring at him, which made people's backs tense and scalp numb.
Tofu didn't dare to stay for long, so he looked down at the footprints and trotted back, because it was in an unfamiliar place, and there were trees all around, so it was dark and it was difficult to discern the path. He was completely relying on his previous footprints to recognize the way, but who knew that he lowered his head and walked quickly, but the footprints extended straight to the bottom of a big tree. Tofu stared at the footprints intently, but before he could react, his head hit the tree, and his sore nose was sore.
"Ouch." A rebound, Tofu subconsciously covered his forehead, but Ouyang Xuan on his back fell. When Tofu saw it, he said that he was unlucky, he stuffed his teeth when he drank cold water, and he was tired himself, so he helped Ouyang Xuan up and let the corpse fairy carry him, but the corpse fairy didn't bird him, and there was no response.
Tofu said: "Wood is good, obedient, go back and buy poisonous scorpions for you to eat." The corpse fairy's eyes rolled, as if he couldn't understand his words, and still didn't react. Tofu ran out of tricks, sighed, and said, "You still have to look at your mood if you want to do something, right?" You did it on purpose, right? Don't play dumb with me...... Do you carry it? Don't carry it? …… Good! I recite it myself" Although I had the urge to beat up the corpse fairy at that time, for the sake ......of my own life, Tofu endured it and carried Ouyang Xuan again.
When he looked at the footprints again, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, the footprints were left when he came, under the tree, which was obviously illogical, and it stands to reason that the footprints should have bypassed the tree. These footprints are under the tree, could it be that the two of them are the same corpse, and they passed through the tree at that time?
Tofu found something strange, couldn't help but hiss, subconsciously looked up along the tree in front of him, he showed a pair of thin and black feet, above the feet are slender legs covered with corpse oil, followed by the hip bones, a small lump of black meat curled up in the middle, and above is the upper body where the ribs are clearly visible, and on the slender neck is a crooked head,
Tofu's eyes straightened, and he shouted in his heart: I'm cāo, why is there a corpse here? Could it be that he was too attentive when he caught up before, so he was ignored by himself? Turning his eyes again, the canopy of the surrounding trees was still densely packed with hanging corpses, both human and beast. Suddenly, Tofu suddenly found that on the left side, there was a palm print and a messy footprint.
Tofu buzzed in his mind, flashing the posture of Ouyang Xuan falling to the ground before, his hands supporting the ground.
Don't...... I'm running back again?
It's impossible, I'm obviously running back along the footprints when I came, and the direction of the Hanging Corpse Forest is completely different, no matter how I run, I shouldn't run back! Who is this messy footprint on the ground?
With Tofu's brain capacity, it was difficult to figure out what was going on for a while, and in the end, only two thoughts popped up in his mind: first, there were other people in this forest, and of course, there were many similar hanging corpse forests; Two: That is, you may have encountered something like a ghost hitting the wall.
As soon as he thought of the ghost hitting the wall, and then looked at the dried corpses hanging from the trees around him, Tofu shuddered, shrank beside the corpse fairy, pulled the corpse fairy's sleeve, and stammered: "Wood, wood, you are also a corpse fairy...... If there really are any zongzi, it won't bother you, right? ”
The corpse fairy blinked and tilted his head slightly, as if he couldn't understand his words. Tofu wanted to cry without tears, so in the end he could only run away with Ouyang Xuan on his back, but the final result was that no matter how he ran, he would eventually return to the place full of hanging corpses, and the countless corpses on the trees were all looking at him with empty eyes.
At this moment, Tofu finally determined that he had encountered a ghost, but fortunately, he had been fighting these days, and he had not practiced anything else, so he was a little bolder. He endured his fear, remembering what I had told him about how to deal with ghosts hitting walls, so he spitted and stomped his feet and scolded ghosts, thinking of everything he could, and when his mouth was dry, all of a sudden, Tofu felt a cold wind blowing on the back of his neck, followed by the sound of brushing and brushing in the canopy, as if something was coming down the canopy.
Tofu is also cowardly, his first reaction was not to see what was going on, but to shrink in front of the corpse fairy and hide, glancing up from the corner of his eye. This glance almost scared him to death, and a dried corpse in the canopy turned slowly with its head down, and in the obscure light, the corpse's face froze into a strange expression.
"Mom!" Tofu's frightened little brother hardened, and a desire to pee rose. Immediately after, the dried corpse fell to the ground with a thud under Tofu's terrified gaze. Tofu stiffened, poked the corpse fairy, and said, "Up, up...... Kill it......"
The corpse fairy did not move.
Tofu almost cried and said, "Wood...... Ah no, brother, big brother, Grandpa Corpse Fairy, can I beg you? The corpse fairy still didn't bird him, Tofu was about to vomit blood, but at this moment, Tofu suddenly found that the fallen dried corpse was not in trouble, it was just lying on the ground, and one leg was broken in half.
Can you still anger corpses like this?
Is it because you are thinking too much? Eighty percent was blown by the wind just now, so he fell from the tree, right?
Tofu hesitantly walked over, squatted down and cautiously observed, but as soon as he leaned over, the corpse raised its head suddenly, and spit out a puff of black gas with its mouth wide open.
The tofu was smoked by this black gas, and in an instant, the world swirled, and the whole body became soft, and the whole person couldn't hold it steady, and fell violently next to the corpse. And the corpse, after exhaling a breath of corpse gas, went limp silently. Tofu knew that the black smoke was corpse gas, and if it didn't make trouble, it would kill someone, but at this moment, he was dizzy, his eyes were black, and he could hardly see anything clearly.
In a hurry, Tofu panted and scolded: "Puzhen, you bastard, you don't do anything, what's the use of raising you!" As soon as he said this, Tofu suddenly felt an extra hand on his chest, and then, the feeling of dizziness and swelling slowly disappeared, and his eyesight also recovered.
At this time, he saw that it was the corpse fairy who squatted down and pressed one hand on his chest, and a burst of black smoke was sucked into his mouth. Tofu came over, and said that he didn't expect this corpse fairy to suck corpse drugs, this skill is too powerful, and with it in the future, any fight in the world is not at my disposal?
Tofu thought about it, got up at the same time, praised the corpse fairy, and said that it was good, and after going back, he was rewarded, and he didn't want to stay in this place any longer, so he continued to run back with Ouyang Xuan on his back. Tofu Xin said that since the zongzi has lost his corpse qi, he should not be blamed again, and he should be able to go back.
This time, he really ran out of the strange hanging corpse forest, but because the poplar forest was too big, the footprints had already been destroyed, and Tofu suddenly got lost, carrying Ouyang Xuan on his back and taking the corpse fairy, and he didn't know where he went.
The poplar forest was lifeless and dark, and there was no sound in the darkness except the sound of his own breathing.
Tofu talked to the corpse fairy to strengthen his courage, and on the other hand, he watched the six roads and listened to the eight directions to prevent any danger. The corpse fairy basically didn't answer, Tofu talked to himself for a long time, and finally the corpse fairy slowly popped out a sentence: "Back to ...... Go...... It...... After...... Heavy...... Heavy...... Yes...... ......"
Tofu was so angry that he couldn't help kicking it and said, "Grandpa Dou, I told you so much, I remember this sentence with you?" You old monster, are you really stupid or fake? After kicking, I remembered that the corpse fairy would automatically fight back, but it was estimated that the corpse fairy was already a little conscious and knew acquaintances, so he didn't kill the tofu.
As soon as these words fell, Tofu suddenly found that the corpse fairy's gaze crossed him and stared directly at the position on the left, as if something there had attracted its attention, Tofu looked over, only to feel that the place was black and mushy, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and he didn't know what the corpse fairy was looking at.
He couldn't help but speculate: "Do you mean that that that there is the way back?" ”
The corpse fairy didn't answer Tofu, but walked straight in that direction. The corpse fairy rarely acts independently, and every time there is an action, it is a big move, Tofu thought he had guessed correctly, so he hurriedly followed, and after walking a short distance, he saw a fire in front of him.
Tofu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was our campsite, and was excited, so he quickened his pace, but after walking a few times, Tofu was a little confused, and said that the closer he got to, the more wrong the color of the light became? Why is it green?
Tofu had a word in his head: ghost fire.
Then I thought of one of the few active experiences of the corpse, which were nothing more than two situations, one: find something to eat, and smoke it. Two: self-defense counterattack. Other than that, there is little experience of actively leaving. Tofu's scalp was numb for a while, and my heart said that I was looking for food?
There is a way to be afraid of something, although Tofu stopped, but he couldn't stop the corpse fairy, seeing the corpse fairy go farther and farther, no matter how he called it, he couldn't call it back, Tofu gritted his teeth, and could only follow. Gradually, the green light approached, and Tofu suddenly spotted a figure in the halo.
I saw that it was an open space, and many people were walking back and forth in the open space, and there were some people sitting or standing on both sides, with blankets in front of them, dressed very strangely, like a night market scene.
It's just that this night market is quiet, people come and go, and people who set up stalls all have blue faces and different expressions.
Tofu swallowed, his legs trembling.
He knew what it was: Ghost City.
