Chapter 112: Inheritance of Craftsmanship

This dark tunnel must be what the bull's-eye people call the basement.

I gritted my teeth, turned my phone into flashlight mode, and boldly walked down the steps.

I took a deep breath and pulled open the iron door, and a strong smell of blood rushed towards me.

The light was on in the basement behind the iron gate, and I looked up and was scared!!

This is a confined space of about 40 square meters, and there are more than 20 wooden barrels filled with blood and water next to the wall, and there are strange-looking people sitting at the front of the barrels!!

As the bull's-eyed people say, these people have dull eyes and strange appearances, with chicken beaks, duck tongues, dog ears, fox tails, and all kinds of looks!

These people just sat there, and when they heard the voice, they all turned their heads to look at me, and I was stared at by so many monsters, and I was shocked that I was covered in cold sweat, but fortunately they just turned their heads to look, and did not stand up and move.

I took a deep breath, the barrel of blood, the strange-looking weirdo, it seems that the bull's-eyed man is not lying!

I walked over cautiously with courage, and walked to a man with dog ears, I was afraid that he would bite me, and kept a certain distance from him, this man saw me coming, although his face did not move, but I saw it from his eyes, his expression was particularly excited, two eyeballs kept turning in circles, and finally tears finally burst out of his eyes and flowed down.

I stared at him in surprise and asked in a low voice:

"Are you from Shangqiu, Henan?"

Although the dog-eared man had a stiff expression and did not speak, his eyes were swaying up and down.

I understood what he meant, and asked:

"Did Old Man Zou trap you here?"

The dog-eared man hurriedly shook his eyes a few more times.

Well, it seems that the bull's-eyed people are telling the truth, except for being sane, these twenty or so men seem to be really like puppets who can't make a sound or make a move.

The basement was cold and damp, and these people sat here in tattered clothes and unkempt, emitting a foul smell.

I looked around carefully, and there was a small wooden figure with carved eyes hanging behind each strange figure except for the blood bucket in front of me.

These wooden bodies must have been soaked in blood for too long, and all of them were dark red.

The eyes of each wooden man are carved like a real person, which makes me sincerely admire the craftsmanship of Mr. Zou, if he does not follow the evil path, he can really be said to be a generation of masters!

Along with each of the hanging wooden figures was a carving knife, and I think that the fact that the bull-eyed man did not dare to destroy these wooden figures himself must have something to do with his fear of these carving knives.

With a wave of my hand, I took off a wooden figure along with the carving knife, and the wooden figure carver is comparable to a real person, because the moment it looks at each other, my spine is cold when I look at it.

I didn't want to lift the wooden figure anymore and slam it into the ground.

With a "snap", I broke the wooden man's head.

With the damage of the wooden figure, the dog-eared man collapsed on the ground in response, and then covered his head and gasped for breath, and it took a while before he gradually calmed down.

After the dog-eared man recovered, he quickly got up and knelt down and kowtowed to me.

They are all peers, where did I receive such a big gift, and quickly helped him up to ask what happened.

After I confirmed that what the dog-eared man said to me was exactly what the bull-eyed man said, I decided to rescue the others.

He and I were busy dismantling the wooden figures hanging above their heads when we heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tunnel.

I secretly screamed in my heart: Oops, Old Man Zou is back!

The two of us hurriedly sped up the demolition of the wood, and soon the big iron door in the basement was pulled open with a "creak".

Old man Zou stood nervously at the door and looked at the two of us, angry he blew his beard and glared at me and scolded loudly:

"Bunny, you ruined my hard work"

After that, he took out the three carving knives, took out the beast knife in the middle and meditated in his hand for a while, and the strange people around him who had not been rescued by me actually stood up collectively, staring at me with cold eyes.

It's broken!!

The eyes of these strange people no longer had the anxiety and panic just now, and they instantly became empty and merciless, and I hurriedly took a few steps back with the dog-eared man, and these people went crazy and pounced on us.

was fighting with these people, and suddenly heard a rush of footsteps in the dark passage, and Xiao Zou and Maruko also followed!!

Seeing the strange scene at the moment, the two of them were stunned at first, and after the head of the ball reacted, they scolded and rushed up to help me.

Pill head is good at fighting, although these weirdos have great strength, they still can't compete with his big fists, but after these waves of people are flying by him, they will still stand up with blood on their faces and pounce again, as if they are not afraid of pain and don't want to die!

I saw that the head of the ball was too ruthless, and shouted at him:

"You tap, they're all good people"

When the ball head heard this, he scolded:

"Growing into a monster like this, and still good people?"

Seeing that this was not the solution, I was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted to Xiao Zou who was standing at the door:

"Xiao Zou, go and take off these wooden figures hanging on and fall."

Xiao Zou didn't know everything that Old Man Zou did, and when he heard me say this, he hurriedly ran over to pick the wooden people, and Old Man Zou had the intention to stop him, but he couldn't do anything to his own granddaughter, so he could only watch her personally destroy the wooden people one by one.

As the wooden figures were destroyed, these strange men who besieged us finally collapsed in response, letting out a groan of pain.

A few of us were not having a good time, and these people had several bloody cuts on our bodies.

The head of the pill seemed to understand, his eyes widened, and he clenched his fists and went straight to Old Man Zou.

I gasped and grabbed him, and whispered:

"Forget it, he's such an old bone, you're going to kill him with this fist"

The pill was angry, and just about to speak, Xiao Zou looked at the old man Zou and asked in a low voice:

"Grandpa, what the hell is going on?"

Seeing that all the wooden figures were destroyed, Old Man Zou sighed and fell to the ground.

Xiao Zou ran over to support him worriedly, and these recovered weirdos pointed at Old Man Zou and scolded loudly:

"This old guy is a liar, he tricked us from our rural hometown and made us drink blood and water every day, and slowly became a ghost and a ghost."

Xiao Zou glanced at the scolding weirdo, looked at all of them carefully, and asked Old Man Zou in disbelief:

"Grandpa, didn't you say that Brother Chunsheng and they can't endure hardships and go back to their hometown, why are they all in this place?"

Old Man Zou stood firm in his spirit, and said weakly:

"Ahem... Our ancestors of the Zou family have been wood carvers for eighteen generations, but when it comes to your generation, I'm afraid that my craftsmanship will not be passed on."

After a pause after Old Man Zou finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Zou again and said:

"Our woodcarver is a pure craft work on the surface, but there are many rules and exquisiteness in its implementation, you were born on the day of the seventh ghost festival in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and you are the most taboo "ghost hand" in the woodcarver.

The head of the ball was in the fog of listening to the side, and asked loudly in confusion:

"Then what's wrong with her carving eyes, carving her eyes and she will live?"

Old Man Zou shook his head.

"Not to live, but will damage the carver's own life, we do carving, how can we not carve living things for a lifetime, I want to let our Zou family's craftsmanship pass on, just ....I remembered the way of my ancestors"

Xiao Zou couldn't help crying when he heard this, convulsed and asked:

"Grandpa, are these people really the ones you put up here, and you did them look like this?"

Old Man Zou closed his eyes and nodded helplessly. After a moment, he said slowly:

"These three carving knives handed down by our ancestors are actually for the ghost hand to pass on people, as long as these people are spelled, use these three knives to carve the eyes of wooden people soaked in blood and water, and wait until they completely become animals, you can continue to carve living creatures with this knife without folding your life, and the craftsmanship of our ancestors can continue to be passed on, child."

Xiao Zou shook his head vigorously and cried even louder.

"Grandpa, how many times have I told you that I don't like carving living things, and there's nothing wrong with carving something else."

When the dog-eared man heard this, he said:

"Old man Zou, we all trust you, so we came all the way from the countryside to follow you, and we were all raised by our mothers, you are too immoral to do this"

After this person finished speaking, the men in the four places began to abuse endlessly.

Old Man Zou finally shed tears of remorse, nodded again and again and said:

"It's me who is too stupid, and I'm really sorry for you."

The whole thing finally became clear, and it didn't make much sense who was to blame for it so far, and I asked:

"Will they be able to get back to what they are now?"

"Yes, I haven't completely changed my body, and I can still recover"

Old Man Zou wiped away his tears and said:

"I have a way to recover, as long as I break the spell, but the days will be longer, and I will be responsible to the end"

Seeing that Old Man Zou was sincere, the dog-eared man also sighed and said:

"Uncle Zou, we came with you from the village, and you have always taken good care of us, that's ........ this"

Hearing this, the head of the ball waved his hand and said:

"Okay, then that's it, you find a place to live nearby, and let this old man see you every day until you get better, and I will send someone to watch him"

Hearing this, the group of weirdos looked at each other for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone was reconciled, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of the house with the carved wood man mentioned by Xiao Zou, so I asked:

"What's the matter with the house with the wooden man?"

Old Man Zou was stunned when he heard this, maybe he didn't expect me to even know about it, and said slowly:

"That's not an evil thing, I've always shown people evil diseases, but not many people know, the first time you came to see the eyeless human carvings on the shelves are all patients I have seen, some serious I will carve my eyes and put them in the wooden house to guard their souls"

Patient? I was shocked when I heard this, and quickly took out my mobile phone, found a photo of Bai Fan and asked:

"Old man, look at it, do you know this person?"

Old Man Zou took his mobile phone and looked at the photo, nodded and said:

"It's been many years, but this girl's expression hasn't changed, and I remember that I showed her an evil disease."
