Chapter 15: Strangers
Tofu was not lightly tossed by the corpse just now, and at this moment he was coughing violently covering his neck, his face was flushed, and he had no strength to get up at all. The white-haired corpse had crawled out of the hole, its blue eyes staring at us.
Legend has it that the corpse is day and night, and now it happens to be night, and our recitation is too smooth. I'm scared at the moment, but I've never been a person who sits still, and although my legs are as soft as noodles, I still have an urge to resist in my heart. Glancing at the probe shovel in my hand, my heart moved, picked up the probe shovel, and slapped the shovel on its head before it could fully crawl out.
This time, instead of the situation where my head bloomed as I imagined, it was like hitting a stone, with a bang, and the shovel was shaken away. I saw that although there was a hole in the corpse's head, he was unconscious, and still crawled towards us, looking extremely shocking.
Tofu also eased up at this time, he was usually timid like a mouse, this time he was almost strangled to death by this corpse, and he also rose up a ruthlessness, after I shoveled down, he followed and picked up the probe shovel in his hand and smashed it.
Let my two old men use their strength to smash with a probe shovel, the white-haired head is half deflated, and it does not slow down at all, and in an instant, the whole thing crawls out of the thief hole, and the corpse stands up straight, and instantly rushes towards the nearest tofu.
This time the speed is no better than in the robbery hole, out of the hole, the corpse's movement is faster than that of a rabbit. I could only feel a fishy wind, a black shadow, and the tofu had been thrown to the ground by the corpse. The force of that thing was so great that each hand clasped Tofu's shoulders, and the action was like tearing people in half.
I always like to think twice before doing things, and I always have to plan the direction of things and the possible results before doing something. But the situation was so urgent that I couldn't think of anything at all, and I saw that the tofu was knocked down in an instant, and I didn't have a chance to think about it, so I quickly pounced on it from behind, and suddenly rode on the white back, and grabbed its neck with both hands and broke it up.
This temporary reaction saved Tofu's life, and as soon as I broke my neck, I paused for a moment, and did not tear the tofu in half. Tofu took advantage of this opportunity to keep struggling under it, but the thing's hand was tightly clasped and completely difficult to resist, and the corpse demon was also started to resist when I broke his neck, and his head kept spinning around. With every turn, you can hear the clear sound of bone movement, which is creepy.
For the sake of Tofu's life, I also used my strength to eat milk, in order to better contain it, and I didn't care about anything disgusting or disgusting, the whole person was attached to its back, and the unprotected face was directly next to the corpse's shoulder.
The white hair is extremely stinging, and there is corpse oil on the hair, and those corpse hairs sweep over the mouth and nose during the movement, not to mention the smell.
In this way, the two of us formed a confrontation situation, and the corpse's head turned for a moment, and then suddenly began to lean back, and the neck was tilted at a right angle of ninety degrees, and for a moment it met me on its back.
The blue eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets, and then I heard a very faint sound in my ears, as if a person wanted to speak before he died, but could not speak.
The voice came from the throat of the corpse.
With the sound of gas, the corpse's teeth clucked and grinded twice, and suddenly opened his mouth, and a foul-smelling black smoke spewed out, the stench of black smoke was unstoppable, and the spicy went straight to the brain and viscera, and in an instant, my whole body was weak, nauseous and vomiting, and my brain crashed, and rolled down from its back, and the world was spinning in front of me, and I no longer knew what was going on outside my body.
In a trance, I heard a loud scream of tofu, followed by a thumping sound, which lasted for a long time before stopping, and then a heavy and intense wheezing sound sounded in my ears, and I realized that this person was tofu.
He dragged me up from the ground, pinched my man, and shouted in my ear, "Old Chen, wake up." ”
This method worked a little, I instantly sobered up, my eyes were no longer dark, my eyes gradually gathered, and I found that the corpse next to me seemed to have been torn apart.
What's going on?
Before I asked, Tofu said very tacitly: "Just now it emitted a puff of black smoke, and then it didn't move." I thought you were killed by it...... "Tofu probably saw me turn over unconscious, thinking that I was killed by the corpse, so he used a probe shovel to destroy the corpse to vent his anger.
"Your face is black now, what should I do?" Tofu asked worriedly. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was covered in something like minced meat, which was very disgusting.
I couldn't see what I was like at the moment, but when I remembered the black smoke from before, I remembered what was written in my grandfather's notebook. In the eyes of grave robbers, not all corpses are evil.
The corpse is raised because the last breath of the living person did not spit out when he died, and this breath may be resentment, or it may be something else, but once the corpse is disturbed by the living person and is hit by yang energy, it will raise the corpse and pounce on the person.
This breath is corpse qi.
In the jargon, the southern faction used to call the corpse 'zongzi', and the northern faction used to call it salted fish.
It is said that there is only one way to kill these dumplings with corpse gas, and that is to remove their heads and release the qi from their necks. However, these zongzi will shrink their necks after picking up the corpse, and in order to protect the tofu just now, in a hurry, I wrapped my hands around the corpse's chin and broke it back, exposing its neck.
But I didn't have a weapon in my hand at the time, and I didn't move its neck, so how could it spit out the corpse gas on its own?
I couldn't figure it out for a while, but now I was in better spirits, so I sat up, glanced at the corpse, and said, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go out quickly." "Although my spirit was better, my limbs were still weak, so I let Tofu open the way in front, and the two of them took their things and climbed into the thief hole.
This time the corpse is cleared, if the corpse is really going to be raised, then it should have changed as early as when I was picking up its clothes with Tofu, so that the corpse would suddenly go wrong when we were about to go out.
I suspect that this qiē accident is probably related to the cat, and if he continues to stay in this tomb, the ghost knows what else will happen.
No wonder Hu Lao blindly wanted me to tie up the cat, I really didn't expect that thing to be so difficult to deal with.
This time, Tofu was also injured, although I didn't have any external injuries, but the corpse gas made me feel wrong, when my grandfather told me the truth about the tomb robbery, I felt both sad and curious. At that time, I was still young, and I didn't understand the hardships at all, and whenever my grandfather was free, he would pester him to tell stories about tomb robbing.
Grandpa had a limited inventory in his stomach, and the story was quickly hollowed out by me, and he sometimes broke it up by himself, and the things he said were mixed, often so that I couldn't figure out whether it was true or false.
He once told a story about the transformation of antiquities into spirits, it is said that some old things will turn into spirits after a long time, I didn't believe it at the time, but I didn't think that I would actually bump into it now. A copper cat, but with such great ability.
I used to do a lot of business, and I also sold fish with a Cantonese guy, and I had nothing to do every day guarding the fish stall, so the two of us were talking nonsense together. The Cantonese are superstitious, and he often told me strange things, including one of the things that became fine, which is said to have happened in his grandfather's generation.
In the past, there was a quirky folklore in Cantonese.
Cantonese people are patriarchal, in the old days, the family got a man, and there is a custom, that is, to find someone to use mud to paste a clay figure, on which the son's birth date is written, this doll is called 'blocking the evil', the blocking is placed at the head of the son's bed, so that this doll can block the disaster that the son's life should have.
It is said that he had a grandfather named Huzi, and it is not clear whether it is his own line.
I don't know when Huzi has a problem with talking to himself, and his parents asked: "Good son, who do you talk to every day?" But I thought to myself, is there something wrong with my son's head?
Huzi said, "I'm talking to my brother." ”
The mother was shocked when she heard this, and said, "Baby son, alas, my mother gave birth to such a hearted child like you, where is there any brother, what's wrong with you?" Where's that brother? Huzi pointed at the doll and said, "That's it, my brother also said that I will die tomorrow, and he will help me." ”
The mother was frightened when she heard this, and said in her heart, could it be that this doll receives incense every day and is offered to her spirituality? Or are you possessed by some mountain spirit and ghost?
The next day, the whole family guarded the tiger and did not dare to leave half a step. I was afraid that he would drown in the water, I was afraid that he would choke to death when I ate, and I stayed in the house, and I was afraid that the beams of the house would fall down and crush him to death. As a result, nothing happened on this day. At night, when my mother went to sleep with Huzi in her arms, she suddenly found that the doll at the head of the bed had been broken for some time.
It is unknown whether the doll blocked the tiger or not.
It's a pity that I don't have as much luck as Huzi, and the one I met is also a Chengjing, but an evil spirit.
Tofu and I climbed out of the thief hole, and when we reached the end, we stepped on the horseshoe trough and carefully went up the shaft, the light was on in the room, and the moment I saw the light, I suddenly felt like I was reincarnated.
However, the environment in the room made me and Tofu stunned for a moment.
There were three people in the room, and all of them were strangers.
