Chapter 20: The Rope of the Dead
"Brother, let's go!" Liu Zining wiped a handful of tears, hugged his brother in the past, and asked him to take care of his parents. Father Liu was on the side, so anxious that he couldn't speak. Liu's mother had been hit repeatedly, and not long after she woke up, she saw her daughter go out to die again, and suddenly fainted again.
"Little girl, come over and I'll explain to you." The dead man's face nodded slightly at Liu Zining, quite approvingly.
Liu Zining took a head rope and tied his hair into a ponytail, and said, "You command." ”
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went up and pulled Liu Zining down: "What are you involved with this!" ”
Liu Zining's eyes were red, he shook his head, and said, "It's okay." ”
I said angrily: "It's okay, if you go, you won't be able to come back!" "My sister Ning is too upright, as long as she grits her teeth, she won't go, what else can these people do?
I beckoned to the third uncle and said, "Take care of my sister Ning." He turned to the dead man's face and said, "I'll go." ”
Liu Zining was taken aback, and disagreed with me to go. But since I'm going, the dead face naturally chooses me first, and nodded and said, "Very good." ”
The third uncle walked up to me and glared at me fiercely: "You are going to die!" "But he said in front of so many people that I am in charge of my own affairs, and he will not break his word.
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ah, my brother has a great life." "But that being said, I was so nervous that my feet and stomach were cramping.
A few years later, when I think about this incident, I understand that I was indeed affected by hormones back then, and I had some heroic feelings to save beauty. If it weren't for the beautiful and gentle Sister Ning who had an accident that day, and if it was her brother Liu Zi'an, I would definitely not be this budding bird.
The dead face beckoned me to come over, and handed me a yellowish piece of jade to hang on my chest.
"This is the Heart Protector Jade, and this is the Pure Heart Bamboo Talisman." He also stuffed me with a small piece of purple bamboo, which was engraved with a complicated incantation, "At present, it is known that the ghost girl has at least two abilities: heart splitting and charming, and you will hold the bamboo talisman in your mouth after you go out." ”
Seeing that I had accepted it, he took me to a place where no one was, and passed me a spell that was not short or long. He read it and asked me to repeat it. The first time I memorized only a rough idea, he repeated it again, and the second time I memorized it in its entirety.
"The qualifications are really good." The dead face nodded, and asked me to recite this mantra silently in my heart after I went out, which can purify my heart and protect my body and destroy the falsehood.
After I went back, the third uncle came over and looked at me deeply, stuffed me with a ball of gray-white hemp rope with chopsticks, and told me to use this rope to tie up the ghost girl if I had the opportunity.
I think this rope is really cold, I'm afraid I can't even tie people, how can I tie a terrifying existence like Liu Nan?
The third uncle patted me on the head and said, "This is our baby, don't lose it for me!" ”
I really don't think so. The dead man's face was beside him, and he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Bundle the corpse rope? I didn't think this thing was in your hands. ”
The third uncle snorted and didn't speak.
I was a little strange, I thought to myself, I even recognize the face of a dead man, is there really any origin of this rope? But there is nothing commendable about this broken rope.
"In that case...... Dead Face took out another cowhide bag the size of a palm and handed it to me, "This is fine scale sand, which can hide the ghost's eyes, and if you have the chance, you can throw it at the girl's eyes." ”
When I opened the bag, I saw that it contained about half a bag of dark black powder, but when I looked closely, there seemed to be a glimmer of light mixed in with it. I've never heard of anything like fine scale sand, so I glanced at the third uncle and saw him nodding, so I put it away.
The dead man's face was slightly adjusted, and a gap was opened at the main entrance, forming a living gate on the Seven Star Soul Sealing Array. All I have to do is to use it as bait to introduce Liu Nan's ghost girl into the formation from this opening.
I admit that I was completely impulsive just now, and as soon as I left the door of the Liu family's house, my legs were already trembling, and I regretted it so much. Look at me, maybe I'll see Hades this time!
Outside the Liu family's mansion and inside the mansion, there are completely two worlds. At this time, it was already past the second half of the night, and the clouds in the sky broke through, and a crescent moon could be seen hanging in the sky, and a few stars were sparse. The moonlight poured down coldly, illuminating the surroundings white and faint, and the scenery was faintly visible.
It's just silent. I have experienced this feeling myself, when I was guarding the coffin at home, and I could not hear the barking of dogs and cats, nor the sound of insects one after another, and the whole night was like death.
My heart was pounding, and I looked around cautiously, but I didn't see anything unusual except for the dead silence. I thought nonsensically, could it be that Liu Nan's girl was too sleepy to sleep? Of course, I also understood that I was simply talking nonsense, but at this time, I was very panicked, and I began to think crankily for no reason.
I took a deep breath to try to calm myself down, shook my hand and loosened my muscles, and began to circle around me to observe my surroundings. As soon as he turned around, he saw a red shadow flash in a forest not far ahead. In fact, I am very familiar with this red shadow, and I used to watch her for days and nights.
But now in my eyes, it is the most terrifying existence. She wore that big red satin skirt, and her long, jet-black hair, which was a little messy, covering most of her face, and she walked towards me in the moonlight.
I don't know if I was too nervous and hallucinated, I thought she was walking very slowly, but in the blink of an eye, the figure seemed to advance so much that I was still hesitating to turn around and run, and the red shadow appeared in front of me.
Fuck, don't run bastard at this time! At this point, I didn't have any thoughts in my head, and I was about to flee to the Liu family's mansion, but at this moment, the ghost girl raised her head slightly, and glanced at me through her falling black hair.
My whole heart immediately jumped, as if I had been hit by a sledgehammer, and my eyes suddenly turned black and numb. At the same time, I heard a crisp "click", and when I reached out and touched it, the heart jade hanging on my chest had broken into several petals.
Perhaps it was because my life was at stake, and I was so blessed that I immediately closed my eyes. I suddenly realized that this ghost girl is probably cracking people's hearts through her eyes! This time count my luck, there is also a piece of heart protection jade to be my substitute ghost, and the next time it splits into eight petals, it can only be my own heart!
I closed my eyes tightly, pulled my legs and ran in the direction of the Liu family's mansion in my memory, but after a few steps, I suddenly tripped under my feet, and rolled on the ground a few times. By the time I got up, I couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.
I didn't dare to open my eyes at all, and if I was unlucky enough to meet that ghost girl's eyes, there would be only one way to die. But when you close your eyes, the whole world is pitch black, and it becomes especially terrifying. I don't know if the ghost girl was standing right in front of me, or if she was hiding behind me, holding a knife and about to stab me in the neck.
What had just tripped me over seemed to be a human leg. As soon as I came out of Liu's house before, I carefully memorized the terrain, and in this range, there were no major obstacles at all.
At first I thought it was the ghost girl who tripped over me, but soon I realized that something didn't seem quite right. In our business, due to the special nature of the industry, sometimes we have to work at night or in the tomb where I can't see my fingers, and my third uncle once supervised me to do blind eye training. Without relying on your eyes, you can hold your breath and rely on your ears and nose to distinguish what is going on around you.
I noticed that in all directions around me, I heard the sound of the soo, and the frequency and amplitude of the sound seemed to be something slowly stepping across the grass, and a choking stench was in the air. I've smelled this smell a lot, so I'm very sensitive, it's a corpse smell, and it's a rotting corpse!
I was taken aback, and with the Pure Heart Bamboo Talisman in my mouth, I silently recited the incantation that the Dead Face had taught me. As the incantation was repeated, I felt that the middle of my forehead became cold, and I felt much more awake. But if you listen closely, the sound of screams coming from all directions, and the smell of rotting corpses in the air, are still there.
I originally thought it was an illusion, a ghost girl who was seducing people's hearts, but now I found that it doesn't seem to be! I couldn't help but feel terrified, and I broke out in a cold sweat. I wanted to flee directly to Liu's house, but at this time, I couldn't tell the direction at all, and if I moved indiscriminately, I might kill myself. I've seen a lot of things like crashing headlong into a rock, or stumbling over something and being stuck in a branch.
Just as I was a little distracted, a pair of hands had touched my neck. The hands were cold, slippery and greasy, with a certain damp smell. I couldn't take it anymore and ran away with a scream. But the hands slid down and strangled my neck.
The force was terrifying, and I immediately choked and almost stuck out my tongue. At this time, he couldn't care about anything else, hugged those hands with both hands, and stared hard at the ground with his feet, and slammed straight into the back. I only felt that my back hit a soft and round mass, and I immediately realized that I had hit something.
It's definitely not Liu Nan's ghost girl who strangles me, because the little girl's chest is not so big, and her figure is not so tall. I threw my fist back, only to feel like it hit a slimy mass, and I took the opportunity to twist her arm and break it off her neck.
When I opened my eyes, I only saw a hideous face. It was a female corpse, only thirty years old, half of her face was already rotten, and the smell of corpses rushed straight to her head, which was particularly disgusting to look at.
If it weren't for the fact that I often deal with corpses, I would have been used to it, and if someone else came, I would have been really scared and fainted. The female corpse burst out with two white dangling eyeballs, staring straight at me, half of her rotten mouth made a hehe sound, and Bai Sensen's teeth stumbled and bit straight at me.
Fortunately, more than half of the woman's corpse was rotten, and there was a mass of rotten flesh on her body, and as soon as I struggled hard, I slipped out of the rotten flesh, rolled and looked, and suddenly my heart was cold!
