Chapter 254: Walking the Dead
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
In fact, I didn't understand it at first, but then Zhang Wuren told me about it, and I understood the truth.
As the saying goes, people walk the way of humanity, and ghosts walk the way of ghosts. The two sides are clearly divided and do not interfere with each other. If a person takes the ghost path, it is likely that he will never return, and if the ghost walks the humane, he may not be able to return to his original world and become a lonely ghost in the world.
But it is said that the evil corpse is inherently intolerable by heaven and earth, otherwise it would not have collapsed by the rocks and sealed in the Tianshan Mountains. Since it is not tolerated by heaven and earth, you can't swagger around the world casually.
The evil corpse also has the most suitable path for itself, that is, the road of the corpse, this kind of road is a road formed by the local tomb group, as long as there is a place for the tomb, it is the most suitable path for the evil corpse.
The land of the Western Regions is vast, and I don't know how many tombs there are throughout the ages, some tombs have already disappeared in the vast yellow sand, but in the yellow sand, it does not mean that they do not exist, and the place where these tombs may appear is the way for the evil corpses to go.
Temur is both civil and military, and is even better at this kind of yin and yang measurement. When he calculated that the evil corpse would cross the border, he calculated three corpse walking routes through the mountains and rivers and feng shui, and allocated manpower to keep the helicopter on standby at any time.
But just when we rushed to Tacheng, Temur calculated the fourth road of the dead, this fourth road is very obscure, and the tombs on the way are all buried by the wind and sand, because of the age, Temur almost missed this road.
So the problem also comes, Colonel Di Ming's manpower is not enough, and it is already the limit to be scattered into three parts, but the fourth road can't help but send people to block it, if the evil corpses happen to cross the border on this road, then wouldn't they be busy in vain?
Colonel Di Ming was ready to deploy the local garrison, but unexpectedly got the news that we were almost there. You must know that the road of the dead is not the path of people. It is said that it is a road, but in fact that place may be a wilderness, or a desert, or even a village or town.
Temur's calculation is only an approximation, and only an exorcist who understands the way of yin and yang can determine where this path is, and then make contingency preparations.
Our presence was just right, the only fly in the ointment was that there were only two of us, and Colonel Diming couldn't draw more men.
Zhang Wuren and I agreed to Colonel Di Ming's request without hesitation, after all, the evil corpse was provoked by us, and we tried our best to do our part.
The address sent to us by Colonel Di Ming is very remote, in the Chahantuohai Ranch near the border between China and Kazakhstan, the approximate location of the corpse road is here, if you want to be sure, you need to use the yin and yang compass to calculate after we both walk in.
It also happens that we know the method of yin and yang measurement, otherwise if we change to someone else, we may not be able to accurately find the way of the dead.
With the new address, we did not go directly to Tacheng, but turned a corner halfway and rushed directly down a small road to Chahantuohai Ranch.
The Chahantohai Ranch is very desolate, because it is already late autumn and early winter, so the temperature here is very low, and when we passed, there were only a few old herders left here except for the border posts.
Because there was a border pass on the car and the relevant documents obtained by the city of Ukraine, the border guards did not embarrass us, but reminded us a few words and then ignored it. We were careful not to go to the sensitive area as the border guards said, but to shuttle back and forth within the border.
We are looking for the so-called walking corpse road.
There are no roads in the wilderness, but the Grand Cherokee's off-road capabilities are on full display at this time. As I drove, I tilted my head to see Zhang Wuren fiddling with the yin-yang compass.
I said, Lao Zhang, walking the corpse road, is there a tomb of ancient times buried underneath? If this is the case, wouldn't those who know how to measure yin and yang be able to rob tombs?
Zhang Wuren said, you think too much. The tomb is the point, and the path of the dead is the line. Using countless dots to form a line is the so-called corpse road. You can know where the line is, and you can determine the line from the point, but you can't locate the point through the line.
In other words, even if we find the path of the corpse, it is not easy to determine the location of the tomb.
It dawned on me that if it was really so easy to find the ancient tombs, it was estimated that the road of the dead would have been destroyed.
We drove for more than an hour in the wilderness, until we crossed a hill and it dawned on us. Below is a small village. I looked at the location on the car and checked it against the map, only to find that this village actually still belongs to the country.
The village is not large, but it is very lively, and from the hills, in addition to the sheep and horses, there are several pickup trucks. The pickup trucks were a little stunned, because the village was surrounded by wilderness, and there was no road at all.
You must know that there are no roads in a village, and basically few villagers will buy a car, even if they have money, they will not buy it, after all, driving in the wilderness is easy to have problems. Unless the road is built first.
How can a village without even a road have a pickup truck?
I said, Lao Zhang, this village is so strange.
Zhang Wuren gritted his teeth and said, grandma's, of course it's strange, you see!
He put the yin-yang compass in front of my eyes, and I took a cursory look and found that there was a string of runes lit up on the yin-yang compass, and one of the black pointers pointed to the village in front of me.
I said, it? The road of the dead passes through this village?
Zhang Wuren said that this village is a meeting point, and the two directions of southeast and northeast are actually walking corpse roads. In other words, it is possible for the evil corpse to come from the southeast or from the northeast.
Only by staying in the village can we stop the evil corpses. But this is also a troublesome thing, evil corpses can suck people's essence and blood, if they really take this road, I am afraid that everyone in the village will survive.
I said, Lao Zhang, I'm afraid you're thinking too much, if you want to say, this village is probably even more evil than the evil corpse, look at the people below.
There were matching binoculars in the car, Zhang Wuren put away the yin and yang compass, took the telescope and looked at it for a while, and his face became more strange than me.
He said, Lao He, you really don't know what kind of place this is?
It seemed to me that I knew what was going on in this village, so I hurriedly asked him. As a result, Zhang Wuren stunned me with a word, he said, this village is actually a trading village of a smuggling gang!
A cold sweat immediately broke out on my head.
In fact, there is a saying in our circle, which everyone regards as a classic, that is: people are more terrible than ghosts.
The Corpse Demon Corpse King is powerful, right? Yin is so powerful, right? But he was also beaten by our exorcists. But no matter how powerful an exorcist is, it will be a headache when encountering a criminal gang.
In particular, there are three types of people: smuggling rings, poaching rings, and drug dealers. These people acted unscrupulously, and most of them were veterans, and they were ruthless, shooting and killing people at the slightest disagreement.
This village is actually a trading village hidden nearby, don't look at horses, cattle and sheep, but it is only used to obstruct people's ears, there are filth and dirt in the village, there are criminals from other places, there are smuggling gangs waiting for large transactions, and there will even be businessmen who do their duty to pan for gold here.
Of course, if you're unlucky, it's not impossible to meet those terrorists.
In a word, this kind of trading village is mixed, and any messy person can be met, even if it is an undercover policeman, it is within the normal range.
After I figured it out, I frowned and said, let's handle this matter appropriately, if the field service of the special case department comes, we will fight first. If you don't encounter the evil corpse, you will have a fight with this group of bastards first, and if you don't get it right, you will be taken advantage of by the evil corpse.
Zhang Wuren said, burn the pass and the documents of the armed forces, let's go down to meet them, and then contact Colonel Di Ming, report our current situation, and ask him to send armed soldiers to suppress the formation.
The local garrison is as large as it is, and although it can't deal with the evil corpses, if we are hunted down by criminals, they can help us. When it comes to his own life, he can't be too cautious.
Colonel Di Ming didn't expect the situation on our side to be so complicated, he reminded us to be careful, and then told us that cracking down on criminals is the business of the local police, as long as you two can block this road and prevent the evil corpses from crossing the border, if anything happens, you make your own decisions, if something goes wrong, I will take care of it for you!
My favorite is Colonel Di Ming's last sentence, since he opened his mouth, it means that even if we kill criminals, he will help us bear it. The only requirement is that if the evil corpse crosses the border with us, stop it anyway.
