Chapter 12: Ghost Grinding
Since the jade pendant on my chest and the bronze medal on my waist didn't react, I put my mind at ease and endured my dizziness to help Uncle Zheng, who was pale and about to fall to the ground.
"Ye boy, leave me alone, I can hold on, quickly cut the index finger of Zheng Wen's right hand, be fast, remember that it is the index finger of the right hand. I'll explain it to you later. Hearing Uncle Zheng's words, I turned to look at Zheng Wen. found that his face was unusual, calm and calm, as if nothing had happened.
But after taking a closer look, I found that this Zheng Wen was already deeply involved. I suddenly remembered that when I heard this footstep for the first time, I was the same as Zheng Wen, thinking that Tian Lai was silent in it, if it weren't for the reminder of the jade pendant and the bronze medal, I probably would have been indulging in it and couldn't extricate myself.
From my scarred backpack, I took out a small short knife, and without hesitation, I took Zheng Wen's right hand and slashed it. After the first drop of blood appeared on Zheng Wen's hand fell to the ground, the footsteps disappeared, and Zheng Wen woke up completely.
Seeing Zheng Wen wake up, Uncle Zheng was also relieved, and he didn't grope on the wall anymore, but sat down directly against the wall. Although Zheng Wen woke up, he still looked a little weak, and his face became very pale, even more than Uncle Zheng just now.
"Uncle Zheng, what was that voice just now?" I've heard this voice more than once, and it can be regarded as saving me once, and even those dark green grimaces dare not come close.
"As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind. That's all there was to it, hehe. Although Uncle Zheng sat there with a smile, his smile was very unnatural.
"the hell?" This is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing, and I've always used it to describe rich people doing bad things, but this time I've finally heard that it is really used on ghosts.
"yes, hell grinding. I'm in trouble this time, I've been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen it, I've only heard of it before, I haven't seen it yet, and according to legend, the people I've seen it are dead. Uncle Zheng's words made me even more surprised and scared, and there was a hint of happiness.
Fortunately, when I walked out of the ghost hitting the wall, I didn't see this grinding ghost, otherwise, I guess I would not have been able to escape from its hands in my state.
"Uncle Zheng, is there a way to escape?" Seeing that Zheng Wen's face was pale and half-dead, he didn't ease up for a long time, so I had to continue to ask.
"Yes. It is rumored that only one person has escaped the grinding ghost. Although Uncle Zheng said that someone had escaped, he didn't look excited.
"Who?" I can't help but be a little happy when I hear that someone has escaped, as long as someone can escape, then it means that it is possible for us to escape.
"It is Wang Xuanling, the feng shui master who built this mausoleum." As soon as I thought about it, I understood that since this mausoleum was all from Wang Xuanling's hand, then he did not die in the mausoleum, of course he escaped.
While he was talking, Zheng Wen over there spoke, and it seemed that he had eased up: "Uncle Zheng, how did Wang Xuanling escape at that time?" ”
Uncle Zheng sat there and sighed deeply, after all, Wang Xuanling was a person more than a thousand years ago, and this mausoleum was built by him, so he would definitely leave a way back for himself, as for how to escape, only Wang Xuanling himself knows.
After listening to Uncle Zheng's words, we even wiped out the last bit of hope. But since the footsteps have not been close, then we just need to walk around, just do it when we think of it, I picked up Uncle Zheng with one hand, and Zheng Wen with the other hand and walked along the grave road farthest from the footsteps.
Zheng Wen also slowly recovered his blood, and after walking for about five or six minutes, the footsteps gradually disappeared, and at this time, Zheng Wen and I both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Uncle Zheng's face became more solemn.
"Ye family boy, don't go forward." After walking a distance, Uncle Zheng grabbed me and Zheng Wen, who were about to continue walking. Zheng Wen and I both looked at him with some confusion.
"Ye family boy, Zheng Wen, we met a ghost hitting the wall, hehe. Looks like we're going to have to see this grinding ghost. "When I heard the ghost hitting the wall, I chuckled in my heart, and the first time I heard this footstep, didn't I also encounter the ghost hitting the wall? Could it be that this time I met again?
Zheng Wen and I glanced at each other and let go of Uncle Zheng, who was holding him. Seeing that Zheng Wen and I were not very convinced, Uncle Zheng pointed to the mark on the wall, which he had left on the wall before he heard the footsteps just now.
"Uncle Zheng, are you mistaken? When you used to leave a mark on the wall, there was a sound of footsteps, but now there are no footsteps. Zheng Wen said with some disbelief.
When Uncle Zheng pointed to the mark on the wall, I believed it, even though I couldn't hear any footsteps now. I've been through this before, and I'm sure I'll be back here if I keep walking here. If you turn around and walk, you can walk here, but then there will be footsteps.
"What do we do now?" I didn't tell my experience, I didn't want them to know more, I just asked Uncle Zheng what to do when something like this happened.
Before Uncle Zheng could speak, Zheng Wen got up and said to me, "Ye Qiang, you stay here and take care of Uncle Zheng." There are no footsteps here, and I don't believe that I have met a ghost hitting the wall, and I will find a way out and turn around to pick you up. ”
As soon as Zheng Wen finished speaking, he got up and continued to walk forward, and Uncle Zheng and I didn't say anything to stop him. Because we all know that if we go in this direction, we will eventually walk back, and we have just walked through it, and there is not much danger.
After Zheng Wen left, I also learned that Uncle Zheng sat on the ground against the wall. The damp tomb is a little cold, and the walls are cold, which is extremely uncomfortable to lean on, but it saves energy.
"Uncle Zheng, is there really no way to go out?" I saw that the atmosphere was a little oppressive for a while, so I asked. Although the old man in front of him doesn't know which force he is, but now he is also trapped here, as the saying goes, one more strength is one more hope, I hope that the three of us stinkers can top one Zhuge Liang.
Hearing my question, Uncle Zheng sighed deeply and said, "There is a way, but it is almost the same as nothing." If you want to leave here, you have to find the back road that Wang Xuanling left for herself back then. If you find that back way, you can get out. It's just that I don't know which tomb Wang Xuanling left behind back then. ”
There are three tombs in these three-phase tombs, and if the road is in this tomb, then you can find a way out. But I must find the third master, the eldest head and the grandfather before I can get out, so the most critical issue now is not to find a way out, but to find a passage to the other two tombs.
"Uncle Zheng, if you find a passage that leads to the other two tombs, will you be able to get rid of this grinding ghost?" I looked at Uncle Zheng, who was a little depressed, and asked.
Uncle Zheng smiled at me, and smiled very reluctantly. He pointed to the mark left behind him and said, "According to the book, this is the passage to the next mausoleum. ”
I looked at the marks left on Uncle Zheng's wall, and it seemed that he had checked all of them, and obviously found nothing. Before Zheng Wen returned, I walked over to the mark and began to knock the bricks one by one.
Then I was disappointed that all of these places were solid, and not a single brick was empty behind them. This means that this is not a passage at all, but just a wall in the original form.
Uncle Zheng looked at my disappointed look, smiled again and said, "Now I understand." Shouldn't that be what I just said? Although Uncle Zheng was smiling, he was laughing helplessly.
"Then there's no way we can get to the tomb next door?" I still don't give up, since I can escape the first time that ghost hits the wall, this one will definitely be able to escape.
As soon as I finished asking, Zheng Wen came over from there, although this was all expected, but Zheng Wen's face was not good-looking. After coming over, Zheng Wen sat down against the wall next to Uncle Zheng and didn't say a word.
Uncle Zheng and I looked at Zheng Wen together, and didn't say anything, but continued the topic just now: "If you want to go to the tomb next door, there is still a way." Hearing Uncle Zheng say this, Zheng Wen turned his head to look at us as if he saw hope.
"If you want to go to the tomb next door, then you have to meet the grinding ghost." Uncle Zheng seemed to have made a major decision in his heart, and stood up at this time, looking very relaxed.
As I expected, in the end, I still have to meet the grinding ghost. I don't know where that ghost is sacred, but it's so good, even Uncle Zheng of the old rivers and lakes talks about it.
"How, do you dare to go?" I turned to Zheng Wen and asked.
When Zheng Wen heard my words, he probably felt that he was being underestimated, "Go and go, whoever is afraid of whom, it's a big deal that he will be a good man again after eighteen years." "I'm a little surprised that these words actually came out of Zheng Wen's mouth, I always thought that only people like Datou and Datuan could say such things. It seems that the environment changes people's personalities, and there is nothing wrong with this.
"Okay, let's eat something to recuperate, I don't know what will happen later. I'm going to see the grinding ghost, old man, too, and if I had known this, I'd have brought a few bundles of paper money and seen if I could be accommodating, hehe. "Hearing Uncle Zheng say this, I can feel that this time he is also really open-minded.
"Uncle Zheng, can you pour me some water, I lost my water when it fell." Seeing Uncle Zheng take out a bottle of slow mineral water from his backpack, I cheekily stepped forward to ask for it, and my half bottle of water had already been drunk and only a little foundation remained.
Uncle Zheng didn't take the bottle in my hand, but took out an unopened bottle from his backpack and handed it to me. I was a little embarrassed to take it, but Uncle Zheng saw me like this and said: "After a while, we don't know whether we live or die, what do we care about such things outside the body, we should eat and drink, even if we want to die, we have to eat and drink well." ”
Since everyone said so, I didn't be polite, took it and took a sip. After eating and drinking well and regaining some strength, we walked in the opposite direction.
Zheng Wen and I were still pestering Uncle Zheng on both sides, and this time Uncle Zheng's bag was on my back. The three of them went together, the pace was firm, there was a lot of wind and cold, and the strong man would never return.
In fact, if you say it in your heart, I'm not afraid it's fake, after all, I heard Uncle Zheng say that the ghost who pushed the grind, all the people he saw were dead except for Wang Xuanling, will we escape like Wang Xuanling? Moreover, in this short period of time, the three of us have to experience life and death together, which is really amazing.
