Chapter 63: Digging up corpses, a different world?
The person who bent over and smiled at me was the old woman I met on the bus! My heart fluttered.
"Ye boy, what are you looking at?" The strange old man suddenly tapped me on the shoulder, and I was startled, and when I looked at the grass again, there was any old woman, and I rubbed my eyes, and realized that I was dazzled.
"No, nothing." I shook my head, this trip to Zhou Gongshan was extremely dangerous, and it had already made me hallucinate.
"Brother Ye, have you thought of how to dig up this grave?" Xiao Hang asked.
I suddenly thought of a serious question, is there still a body in Meng Dan? I looked at the old man and Xiao Hang, "Isn't this body going to be cremated?" Will Meng Dan's body still be there? ”
"Hey, hey." The strange old man pretended to laugh twice, "You don't know this, first, since Meng Dan asked you to lift its curse, its corpse must still be there, and secondly, those rich people spent so much money to bury their families in Zhougong Mountain, of course, they chose to be buried, who is stupid enough to cremate the body." ”
"Isn't it forbidden to be buried?" I asked, I remember that burial was banned for a long time, except for some ethnic minority places, where burial can be done according to ethnic customs, and burial is no longer allowed in most areas.
"You know!" The strange old man scolded, "Money can make ghosts grind, do you know?" ”
I smacked my tongue secretly, and thought in my heart, Meng Dan is over there, you take the money and see if it is willing to grind for you, but I think so in my heart, but I don't say that.
"Then how are we going to dig up Meng Dan's body?" Xiao Hang asked again.
"Okay, okay, how else can you dig, you guys go farther." The strange old man impatiently pushed us a few meters away from the tombstone, then ran over himself, took out a bunch of yellow talismans from his bag, sprinkled them on the grave, and ran over again when he was done.
"Master? Are you going to do the Dharma? Xiao Hang and I both stared at the strange old man blankly, and when the strange old man heard this, he almost fell headlong, and opened his mouth to scold: "Be your head!" I'm going to blow up the grave. ”
I was a little speechless in astonishment, and wondered how the old man was going to blow up the grave! But I didn't say anything, anyway, there was no other way but to let the old man toss around, I turned my head and looked at Meng Dan, who was hiding under the tree in the distance, he was staring at us, always paying attention to our movements.
The old man closed his eyes, muttering words that we didn't understand, I guessed what kind of spell it was, sure enough, as soon as the old man finished reading, there was a "bang", and the grave exploded, and rolled up a pile of dirt and small stones, which flew to our bodies, some pain, the smoke from the explosion, I couldn't open my eyes, I coughed a few times, and waved my hand.
The smoke slowly cleared, and we saw what we were seeing, the grave had been blown open, and the cement was covered with a thick layer of loess.
"Master, where is Meng Dan's corpse?" Xiao Hang asked again.
"Your corpse is under the concrete?" The old man couldn't cry or laugh, and continued to quip: "Of course the body is in the coffin, and the coffin is under the yellow mud!" I don't know what you're asking! ”
I laughed secretly in my heart, even if the situation is not good, this pair of living treasures can always amuse me, at the request of the old man, Xiao Hang and I used the Tu Ling dagger to shovel away the loess little by little, to dig out Meng Dan's coffin.
We dug for a while, only a little bit, I wiped the sweat on my forehead, and then looked at the strange old man, he actually knocked on Erlang's leg, sitting in front of the tombstone and eating melon seeds, I was very unhappy, I was a wounded, I should rest, how did I become him? In the evening, Xiao Hang and I took turns digging the loess, resting for a while when we were tired, and continuing to dig after resting, and finally dug a corner of the coffin before the sun went down.
Seeing that it was about to succeed, Xiao Hang and I worked harder, digging harder, and after a while, we finally dug out the whole coffin.
We sat panting to the side, wiping the sweat from our faces, at this time, Meng Dan had already come, the sun was no longer so strong, its body was no longer smoking, its eyes had returned to their previous blood-red color, staring directly at the coffin.
"That's it...... At...... Village...... ...... face," Meng Dan said slowly.
"I know it's in there." The strange old man threw away the leftover melon seeds in his hand, walked over, and said, "Open the coffin lid." ”
Xiao Hang and I glanced at each other, stood up, one by one, with all my strength, to lift the coffin lid, unexpectedly, the body inside was intact, and there was no decay, I stared at Meng Dan's delicate face stunned, it stands to reason that Meng Dan has been dead for so long, even if the corpse does not turn into white bones, it should be seriously decomposed, but she does not look like she is dead at all, but it seems to be lying in the coffin and falling asleep.
"Hey, hey, stupid." The old man sneered: "I haven't seen the world." Her corpse was bound by a stream of energy, so the elements couldn't get in or out, and certainly wouldn't rot. ”
I shook my head, I didn't understand what the old man was saying, to be honest, I didn't know much about the elements, let alone Xiao Hang.
"In short, Meng Dan's corpse is cursed, and its ghost can't absorb the elements of the ghost world, am I right?" The strange old man squinted his eyes and glanced at Meng Dan, Meng Dan was stared at by the old man's sharp eyes, his body trembled for a moment, and then nodded obediently.
"What then, old man, what are we going to do?" I asked.
The strange old man waved his hand and motioned for us to get out of the way, Xiao Hang and I obediently stepped aside, the strange old man squatted on the edge of the coffin, carefully looked at Meng Dan's body, and after a long time, he nodded with satisfaction.
"When I lift the curse in a moment, you two be careful." The old man instructed us, "And you, it's better not to play any tricks, otherwise I will just let you disappear into this world." ”
Meng Dan's body trembled again, a trace of horror flashed on his face, and he nodded hurriedly.
I patted Xiao Hang on the shoulder, Xiao Hang understood, took out the dagger and the purple lazuli, I also held the zero point five and the dagger in my hand, what I was most worried about was that after Meng Dan's curse was lifted, he would turn his face and not recognize people, if it suddenly attacked us, I would kill it with one shot.
When the old man saw that Xiao Hang and I were ready, he slowly took out a purple triangular charm from his bag and threw it into the coffin, and began to mutter words that we didn't understand.
"Uh-" Meng Dan snorted suddenly, bent down in pain, and grabbed its face tightly with both hands, and the already somewhat rotten face was grabbed by it, and a lot of flesh fell off.
I was taken aback by the sudden situation, but the strange old man was still concentrating, and I was relieved, this should be a normal reaction.
My gaze swept back and forth between Meng Dan's corpse and Meng Dan, Meng Dan continued to roar in pain, the rotting flesh on his face slowly fell off, and new flesh grew, and the corpse in the coffin began to rot at a very slow speed.
The old man babbled for a few minutes, Meng Dan was no longer in pain, but sat on the ground, quietly closing his eyes, the corpses in the coffin had all decomposed, and the corpse water flowed out of the rotten body, and there was a foul smell.
"That's it!" The strange old man stood up suddenly and said, the old man's face was a little pale, his lips were bloodless, and his face was tired.
Meng Dan also opened his eyes, stood up, and bowed deeply to us, "Thank you!" ”
I was a little surprised, not only did Meng Dan's body no longer decay, but even the speed of speech was about the same as that of a normal person, the strange old man waved his hand, "Hurry up and return to your world, your body can already absorb the elements, if you don't absorb the elements of your world immediately, your body will rot again." ”
Meng Dan nodded, smiling like a flower, and winked at me, "Lin Ye, thank you." ”
I smiled reluctantly, and suddenly I remembered Xiao Lu, "Meng Dan! Where's Midori! ”
"Dark green? She didn't come to the class reunion. ”
Hearing Meng Dan say this, my hanging heart finally let go, Meng Dan's curse was lifted, and Xiao Lu was fine, this should be the best ending.
"Girl, can you tell me where that passage is?" The strange old man thought for a while, looked at Meng Dan, and asked.
Meng Dan hesitated for a while, but still shook his head and refused, "No, if I say it, I'm afraid they won't let me go." ”
"Them?" I asked at the same time as the strange old man.
Meng Dan nodded, "There are some things I really can't say, but there are some things I can tell you." Meng Dan said, staring at me with two eyes, and said, "Lin Ye, do you know how I died?" ”
"How did you die?" I hurriedly asked, because according to my previous speculation, Meng Dan's death was probably related to me.
"You killed it." Meng Dan said with a smile, she said very casually, as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing.
I frowned, and sure enough, Meng Dan was killed by me...... It was like a thorn stuck in my throat, and I couldn't speak.
"Lin Ye, you don't have to blame yourself, if you die, you will die, it's not a big deal." Meng Dan smiled again, "I know you have amnesia, so I don't blame you." ”
"Why did I kill you......
"Because I saw something I shouldn't have seen." Meng Dan stopped laughing and became serious, "You, not an ordinary person. ”
"Huh?" I was confused by Meng Dan's words.
"And do you know, Teacher Ji Xiao, they killed you to take revenge......" Meng Dan didn't explain what she said, but pulled Teacher Ji.
Meng Dan didn't care about my dazedness, and another sentence without logic came out of her mouth.
"Different worlds, different people......"
