Chapter 239: Half-Alive, Half-Dead
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
A series of footprints suddenly appeared outside the ghost cave, which was really incredible. This place is very secretive, if it weren't for Yang Si to lead the way, it would be difficult for outsiders to find it at all. Who is this man?
The boss of the Zhong family looked carefully at the ground for a while, and said, Type 90 cold-proof boots are domestic, but they have long been changed now. The other party is alone, no more than 1.8 meters tall and weighs no more than 75 kilograms.
I was immediately impressed by the Zhong brothers, these two guys must not have been soldiers before, because before they met the Holy Knight, they were still hand-in-hand deformities. But you can see these details if you haven't been a soldier, and the brothers are really not simple.
Zhang Wuren said, the other party is going to the Yin and Yang Cottage, good guy, how many people are going over there now?
We discussed for a while, but we still stepped on the snow and followed, climbing the ice and lying on the snow for more than two hours along the way, and after climbing a snow slope, our eyes suddenly opened up.
Inside the snow, a dark building is hidden under the valley, and it is brightly lit, and it looks like there are still people coming and going, and even we can feel the lively atmosphere of the village even when we stand far away.
I thought that the Yin-Yang Cottage was a gloomy place and no one should enter, but who would have thought that it would be so lively inside!
Zhang Wuren squinted his eyes for a while, and then took out the Yin Yang Compass. As a result, when I looked at the yin-yang compass this time, I found that the pointer on it was constantly spinning randomly, and it was completely out of order.
I said, there is no distinction between yin and yang, no day or night, and the place must be right. It is estimated that the people inside are half-alive and half-dead.
Zhang Wuren said, take care of the guys, let's go over. Also, Yang Si, you come with us.
In fact, according to the agreement, it is none of Yang Si's business after we find the Yin Yang Cottage, but Yang Si's physical condition is very special, and he also belongs to the kind of person who is half alive and half dead, and we can also use his physical changes as a basis.
Although it is a bit unauthentic to say this, it is not harmful to Yang Si, you must know that he is now without even the three fires on his body, and it is really a miracle that he can survive until now.
When approaching the house, there is a way to sweep out. There were a lot of footprints on the road, and there were some traces of wheels pressing, not like a motor vehicle, in fact, it was impossible for a motor vehicle to drive in this hellish place.
Walking along this road, I saw a huge torii with a square table under the archway, and two shirtless people stood behind the square table.
In the cold weather, we were all shivering in our cold-proof combat uniforms, but the two of them were as if they had nothing to do, and one of us was still holding a pen and paper and writing something.
They didn't say anything when they saw the six of us, they just looked up and went about their business. I held the handle of the demon knife in one hand, but my eyes involuntarily looked at the person's paper, only to find that this person had written ghost script.
It's just that the ghost text he writes obviously doesn't self-combine, it's just a kind of dull text.
From the perspective of position, these two people should be the gatekeepers of the Yin-Yang Cottage, but such gatekeepers are too irresponsible, right? We don't even ask a question when we enter the Yinyang cottage, or is there no restriction on the entry and exit of this cottage?
I asked Lao Zhang, those two guys should be dead, right? It's more than 20 degrees below zero, and I'm shirtless.
The boss of the Zhong family said that he was not a dead person, but he was not a living person. I don't know if our corpse method is really useful to them, it's so fucking weird, we've never encountered this before.
The Zhong family is particularly sensitive to corpses, and the Zhong brothers once ate with corpses in order to study corpses, and also ate the flesh of old zombies.
But even the two of them can't tell if the other party is dead, which is a bit too much to say.
When I entered the house, it was a very spacious street. There were street lamps of different colors on the streets, some were very ordinary, torches stained with diesel, some were blue phosphorus fires, and I even saw a glowing stone hanging from the door of a room, which was very similar to the stones in the underworld.
The people on the street were even more diverse, ranging from workers in tattered leather jackets to strong men hurrying around shirtless, and some in professional winter clothing like us.
White Europeans, yellow Asians, and even a few blacks who were tightly wrapped and wore hats.
As the so-called fish and dragons are mixed, everything that can be seen and what cannot be seen can be found here, and I even saw a ghost floating from the street with a sinister breath all over his body.
Strangely, whether it was a living or a dead person, they didn't have the slightest look of surprise at that wandering ghost, and it seemed that they had long been accustomed to it.
The six of us stood on the street like fools, a little overwhelmed.
Suddenly, I heard someone say, how many gentlemen came to the cottage for the first time?
The six of us suddenly turned around, only to see a scrawny child, about twelve or thirteen years old, looking at us curiously. He was wearing a pair of swarthy pants, but he didn't wear anything on his upper body, thinking he was thin, so we could see the ribs on his body clearly.
The child is a standard white face, and strangely enough, speaks very proficient Chinese.
Zhang Wufu quietly held the tantric iron rod and said, yes.
The child immediately became excited and said, I knew you were coming to the cottage for the first time! Are you Chinese? Or the Japanese? Korean?
Didn't I say in my heart that this is not nonsense? When we speak Chinese, we are naturally Chinese.
In fact, I later learned that the sentence asked by the child was not nonsense, because the lingua franca of the entire Yin-Yang cottage turned out to be Chinese, and all people who entered the cottage must use Chinese. Otherwise, the people in the cottage will not understand at all.
Zhang Wuren nodded and said, this is the Yin Yang Cottage?
The child said, "Oh my God! It's been a long time since the Chinese came! Can I be your guide? There are many rules and taboos in the cottage, and once outsiders violate them, they will provoke public anger. Well, all you need to do is give me a piece of clothing!
In fact, when we see the living, the dead, the ghosts, and the white, yellow, and black people in the cottage, we already know that the Yin-Yang cottage must be an orderly person, otherwise everyone would not be able to run around the streets.
Isn't this kid coming and asking to be a guide?
Zhang Wuren said, it's naturally okay to give you a piece of clothing, but you have to tell me first, your body is dead, why do you need clothes to keep out the cold?
The child's face turned red and he said, "Who said I was dead?" I'm alive! There are no real dead people in the cottage!
It's just a short sentence, but we get a lot of meaning out of it. The first is that children are afraid that they know that there is something wrong with their physical condition, and secondly, if there are no dead people in the cottage, they are all half-alive and half-dead.
I pulled a spare winter suit out of my bag and threw it to the child. The child put on his shirt on the spot. It's just that because of his small stature, wearing a top is like wearing a skirt.
Zhang Wuren said, tell us about the Yin and Yang Cottage, and why are there so many outsiders here?
The child rubbed his cold-proof combat uniform with his pale face, and then said, there are many outsiders in the Yinyang Cottage every year, but few can leave alive.
Just one sentence made our hearts heavy, but what the child said next gave us a thorough understanding of this place.
Yin-Yang Cottage never prohibits outsiders from entering, as long as you can find the cottage, no one will stop you.
But being able to come in is one thing, and whether you can go out is one thing, the child told us, but all the people in the circle, the higher the ability, the more they can't get out, but some ordinary people who have strayed into it have the opportunity to leave the Yin Yang cottage.
This is also the main reason why the Yin-Yang cottage has been circulating in the circle, but few people know the specific situation inside.
There are a lot of people coming in every year in the Yin-Yang Cottage, sometimes dozens of them, and seven or eight when they are few. Most of them are people in the circle. Because the people in the circle are proficient in yin and yang, but the more people who understand yin and yang, the greater the changes in their bodies.
Until he becomes a half-alive and half-dead walking corpse, he will never be able to do without this.
