Five-legged Toad_Chapter 81: The Soul Bell
"Hoo ......" There was a whistling sound outside, and by the voice of the corpse chaser's duck: "Corpse fraud!" Corpse fraud! Wake up, hey! ”
Cheng Ke got out of bed and stood up, and frowned: "Don't move here." ”
I nodded and sat up, even now, that corpse has a yellow talisman hanging on its forehead, this is also too strange, thunder and lightning obviously can't get into the house, and there is a spirit talisman to protect it, how can it cheat the corpse!
The corpse didn't seem to be conscious, just burrowing into the pane, as if it was some kind of inertial action, as if thinking of anything was something.
Looking through the broken pane of the corpses, I could see through the broken window paper that there were also some corpses squirming outside, all blind and dazed, and I didn't know what they were going to do when they were huddled together.
A very cold aura permeated the air, making people a little chilled and panicked, and felt that the corpse was angry.
Cheng Ke neatly picked up all the oil lamps in the room, neatly placed them under the window, stretched out his hand and sprinkled a little thing I don't know what it was in the lamp oil, the corpse was stuck in the window pane, roasted by the open flame, as if it was scalded, the stiff body shrank back, but there was no way to leave, or work hard at the pane, like a moth to a fire, it was hurt and retracted, and the cycle repeatedly.
Then, there was a noisy sound outside, like a fried pot, but it is conceivable that it is not fun for a group of corpses to run wild, and even ghost keepers have to be careful.
"Oh my God!" Luo Weilan's voice came from next door: "How can you say that the corpse is the corpse!" ”
"Big brother, I'm really sorry!" Madoka's voice rang out from outside: "We don't know, obviously, this corpse is well placed in the room!" ”
Then, the voice of the corpse chaser reciting words sounded outside, this time the voice was very loud and sharp, as if it was a little intimidating, and the sound of the gong became louder and louder, but even so, it didn't work, and those corpses were still in a hurry, trying to break inside.
I became suspicious, hurriedly stood up, and asked, "Cheng Ke, looking at this, is there something they want here?" ”
Cheng Ke turned his head sideways, glanced at the room, and said, "We don't have any special ...... here."
I also went over, looking at the dense corpses outside the window pane, and suddenly I saw that a corpse was also carrying an immortal sachet on his waist!
That's not right, since the corpse chaser promised the Hu family sisters and Ma Erdu's eldest brother, it must be going to Xichuan to drive the corpse, how can there be dead people, and there are people from Tanshen Town?
I kept an eye on it, and wanted to take a closer look, but I didn't think about it, At this time, a gloomy corpse suddenly slammed into the window, and the row of oil lamps was extinguished at once, and the room was immediately dark!
This hotel for the original flavor of the Republic of China, better than the Palace Museum, not even a wire, light switches and other modern things are nothing, the oil lamp is extinguished, we immediately immersed in this thick night!
"Crunch...... Crunch...... "Something is gnawing at the sound of that pane!"
Obviously, those things sensed that the lights they were afraid of were extinguished, and they were even more unscrupulous and wanted to break in!
I'm full of doubts, what the hell do these corpses want to come in?
But I'm not afraid, but I'm not afraid, Cheng Ke is right next to me, in the dark, Cheng Ke pulled me over with a cold arm and protected me behind him, and said calmly: "Don't move." ”
I agreed, and just then a bolt of lightning swept across the sky, illuminating the room, and I saw the dense mass of corpses standing guard over the doorway, and a few of them had crawled down from the table under the pane.
Cheng Ke's eyes must be able to see in the dark, but he was not in a hurry, raised his hand, and Xiao Yuan's voice came from outside with a little crying: "Big brother and big sister, I know that you are all capable people, but we also have to be responsible for the families of these corpses, originally, they just hope that these lost relatives can return to themselves."
You guys...... If you damage the corpse, will not it be even more painful in their hearts...... For the sake of you and them, can you not let those corpses be damaged, I beg you! ”
Yes, their task is to protect these corpses, this request is really helpless, Cheng Ke didn't talk at all, I know, according to Cheng Ke's character, what is in front of him to kill, I haven't seen him soft, so I had to pull him: "Look, Xiaoyuan is not easy, and the families of those corpses are also pitiful......"
"It depends on how offended they are," Cheng Ke's voice was still deep: "It's okay if you don't touch it, if you touch it, I'll leave their bones gone." ”
"Bell Bell Bell ......" In the darkness, there was a sudden crisp sound of a bell, and at this time, another lightning bolt came over, and I was taking advantage of the lightning to see those zombies, and I turned my body in a direction at the same time, as if listening to the bell.
Cheng Ke's cold hand wrapped around my waist, and he said with some vigilance: "Soul Bell." ”
"What's that?" I asked, "Can you control zombies?" ”
"Not bad," Cheng Ke's eyes had a strange look in the tightly swept lightning.
Another flash of lightning flashed over, and those stiff corpses, as if they had heard some information from the soul bell, turned their heads around and rushed towards us! Menacing, one after the other!
Seeing those corpses dying in a foreign land is indeed strange and pitiful, probably Cheng Ke didn't bear to really break the corpses, but just raised his hand, and those corpses fell hard.
But even so, when the corpse fell to the ground, it immediately bounced up and grabbed us, and one of the corpses advanced very fast, and it was about to rush at me!
I dodged it a long time ago, but Cheng Ke vaguely showed a little anger, and reached out to remove the stiff arm of the corpse!
"Cheng Ke ......"
"Just sew it on." Cheng Ke said coldly: "What they have is a line. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to destroy the corpses that were approaching, but at this time, a line rolled over and blocked the front of those corpses, and those corpses suddenly fell back as if they were helpless, and as a result, they pressed one by one, and fell backwards like dominoes.
"Oops, thankfully it's still in time!" A voice with a little happiness sounded: "It's okay to say that the pane is okay, if you break all the walls, then the toad gods of the five clans in our town house here will be unhappy."
I never thought that it was the sound of a fat steamed bun! A rickety lamp lit up, and the fat steamed bun's lifeless face was exposed in the dim light, which was unspeakably weird: "The dead have nothing to do with me, and if you destroy the house, then it's troublesome."
At the same time, a burst of ink fragrance came to my nose, and I looked at the light, and the one who stopped the corpse just now turned out to be a black line, as if it had been soaked in ink.
"Ink fountain line!" The corpse chaser came over in a hurry, and his rough voice showed admiration: "The boss is also a high-ranking person!"
"Oh, I don't dare to be," the fat steamed bun said flatly: "It's just that in order to beg for food, I have to prepare more things!" It's always right to bring dry food and warm clothes. ”
"It's not just the ink fountain line that specializes in the walking corpse," the corpse chaser asked, "and you also shook the soul bell?"
"Dementor bells?" The fat steamed bun shook his head and said, "I didn't hear it!"
The bell just now didn't look like it was blocking those corpses, but like it was manipulating the corpses to enter the door!
Cheng Ke looked outside, pointed to the room where the corpse was kept, and asked, "What is that?"
I followed Cheng Ke to probe the probe, and sure enough, I saw that the door of the room where the body was stored was open, and there was a bright thing on the door frame, like a silk thread.
"It's copper wire!" Luo Weilan also came out, wrinkled her brows and said, "No wonder...... Will cheat the corpse! ”
It dawned on me that copper wire was originally used for conducting electricity, and it seems that I wanted to use that kind of thing to bring in thunder and lightning and guide it to those corpses!
The corpse fraud was deliberately planned by someone at all!
Madoka hurriedly ran over and apologized to us: "I really don't know, why did this happen!" It's really ......"
I stared at the corpses on the ground by the light, but I couldn't see the one tied to the immortal sachet, so I couldn't help asking: "Are all of you corpses from Xichuan?" ”
"That's right, it's all Xichuan's hometown, that's why I rushed in this direction, I was supposed to arrive at the place where the body was handed over tomorrow, but unfortunately it was raining, I just wanted to dodge, who knows or didn't avoid it......" Xiaoyuan picked up the arm that was unloaded by Cheng Ke, and said apologetically: "I frightened you!" ”
I stared at the corpses, Li Minglang's cousin Su Che showed me the pamphlet of the missing people, and I also remembered the faces on the pamphlet, but there was no pamphlet among these ghost keepers who died.
I thought about it, yes, those who can be photographed by the public security organs, of course, will be stored in the public security organs, how can they be driven out in such a daze when the murderer is not found.
Could it be that I was mentally allergic just now, and I read it wrong? No one could possibly put away the immortal sachet on the corpse so quickly! Besides, no one knew that I had just found the immortal sachet.
"Na!" The fat steamed bun took the ink thread and gave it to the corpse chaser: "Lend it to you, be prepared, with this thing wrapped around the door frame and stop it, no matter how he cheats the corpse, he is not afraid." ”
"Thank you!" The corpse chaser said with a thousand thanks.
"The money for the damaged panes is included in the accommodation fee." The voice of the fat steamed bun was not a little human: "It's ready early." ”
The corners of the corpse chaser's mouth twitched, and he immediately agreed.
Xiao Yuan lowered his head, took the thread and was sewing Cheng Ke's damaged arm, lifted his eyelids, looked at us timidly, wanted to say something, but still hesitated and didn't say anything.
After the corpses were cleaned up, Luo Weilan saw that we didn't look like we were going to sleep, so she came over again and asked in a low voice, "Do you see it?" ”
I was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?" ”
"It's those corpses, how can they cheat the corpses for no reason!" Luo Weilan pointed at the morgue with one hand.
"Looking at the copper wire, someone should have deliberately lured those corpses to cheat the corpses!" I replied, "There are two ghost keepers and apprentices, and it's unlucky to encounter this kind of thing." ”
"What he means," Cheng Ke, who was silent, replied rarely: "The ghost keeper and apprentice deliberately released the corpse. ”
"What?" I furrowed my brow: "Why did they do that?" When the corpse comes out, the first thing others will blame is them. ”
"It's dark under the lights." Luo Weiran replied.
"You actually noticed it just now," Cheng Ke's peach blossom eyes were heavy, and he said: "The whole corridor is so long, why don't those corpses go anywhere, just rush to us?" ”
As I thought just now, those corpses were really for me and Cheng Ke.
Or is it for the sake of that unwarranted immortality?
Luo Weilan said: "Oh, you must have been frightened just now, you didn't pay attention at all, looking at those corpses as if you didn't have your own consciousness, you thought they had inadvertently broken in, right?" It's still Cheng Ke's eyes. ”
"Don't dare to be." Cheng Ke replied indifferently: "It's just that when they counted the corpses just now, there were no Hu Xiaoqiu and Ma Da in it. ”
I immediately understood, if it was really an accident, then Hu Xiaoqiu and Ma Dadao, who had already been collected by them, should also act with those corpses, but the absence of those two corpses means that they were the corpses of the past, and they must have made some kind of preparation, so they acted in order to obey the order.
Luo Weilan and Cheng Ke meant that the corpse chaser and Xiaoyuan, who were guarding and stealing, and the corpse sent by themselves also pulled a copper wire to pretend to be a victim.
But they didn't calculate, Huiren Inn, there happened to be two corpses, and they needed to be handed over to join the corpses! And time was pressing, and the bodies of Hu Xiaoqiu and Ma Dadao should have had no time to train, so they stayed in the morgue and did not come out.
After I figured it out, I felt a chill in my back for a while.
Luo Weilan observed the words and said: "I don't ask you anything, I just say more, after all, we have this fate, the rain has stopped, and we will continue to walk together, I will be cheeky and think that I am your friend, no matter what you carry, it is better to be careful, after all, it is this time, everyone is staring at ......"
"At this time?" I caught this sentence and asked, "When did you say that?" ”
When Luo Weilan heard this, she immediately looked a little annoyed, as if she regretted that she had said more, and immediately said: "Actually, ......"
"Didn't someone send you a letter asking you to come here and meet you?" Cheng Ke looked at Luo Weilan with a pair of peach blossom eyes: "For immortality? ”
When Luo Weilan heard the word "immortal", her face was like a marquee, and she changed several colors: "You ......"
Everyone can see that Cheng Ke is right when he says this!
I immediately came to my senses: "What do you mean, someone wrote to you, saying that there is news of immortality here, so you came to the Huiren Hotel with the Ma family brothers and the three Hu family sisters?" ”
"No, no, no!" Luo Weilan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I only found out after I came that they also got the letter!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the remorse on Luo Weilan's face deepened, obviously, he originally planned to keep this matter a secret!
"So that's ......" I suddenly realized: "So, the first time you saw us in the dining room that time, you thought that we had also received that letter, and the last time, Ah Jiu happened to come to the door to call the battle, and you realized that in fact, we have something to do with Changsheng!" ”
"I've never had anything bad in mind about you!" Luo Weilan hurriedly said: "Heaven and earth can be learned! It's just that...... Now, I just said, originally, you know, what immortality means to all the ghost cultivator families, the anonymous letter to the door, saying that on July 15, Changsheng will go to the Huiren Inn, who doesn't feel itchy in his heart!
Our family because of Brother Luo Bai's absence, of course, just photographed me, and after I came, I found out that the Ma family and the Hu family also came, and they all brought back baskets, saying that they came to catch the bone joint.
But this thing is a bit strange, originally Lover's Mountain is the location of the bone festival, but recently the Wutong Mountain, which is higher than Lover's Mountain, has repaired the road, and everyone is driving to Wutong Mountain to dry bones, and few people have come to Lover's Mountain.
And the Ma family and the Hu family were originally closer to Wutong Mountain, and it was unbelievable to come here to dry their bones and seek the near and far, and I had to be a little puzzled in my heart, so I kept an eye on it, and guessed that they must have received the anonymous letter just like our Luo family! Like their excuses, I claimed that I was here to dry my bones.
When I met you, I thought that you were the same as us, you received an anonymous letter, for the sake of immortality, who knows, seeing that you are on the top of that lover's mountain, you didn't even pretend to be, it's really a little strange, so I paid more attention to you for a while, It wasn't until later, that inexplicable Ah Jiu, with the Du family, opened his mouth to live forever, and I saw that you were the ones who had something to do with Changsheng! ”
I sighed and said, "I took the scene where I gave Immortality to Ah Jiu, you ...... You saw that too, right? ”
Luo Weilan was a little embarrassed, but she still nodded, and hurriedly said, "I believe that Changsheng is not here with you. It is estimated that the person who sent the letter, what he didn't see was any kindness, thanks to your cleverness, you led the fire of immortality to Ah Jiu's body. ”
It turns out that my little trick, although I have hidden it from the Du family, I have not hidden it from Luo Weilan's eyes!
My heart jumped, so I had to reply: "I was also forced to be helpless, I don't know what's going on, they decided that Changsheng is here, and this time there is no need to say, it seems that those corpses should also be led by the soul bell, and they came to find Changsheng, but it's a pity that they were disappointed again." ”
Luo Weilan was a little embarrassed and said, "But, to put it mildly, there is no wind and no waves, how did you get involved with Changsheng?" Although the thing of immortality is mysterious and powerful, that kind of thing can easily attract unwarranted disasters. This time it's ......"
"I said I don't know, maybe you won't believe it," I sighed and said, "You can also see that Cheng Ke and I are both people who are afraid of trouble, and we don't have any ambitions. ”
"This is also ......" Luo Weilan thought about it very seriously and said, "It's just ......"
I could guess that he was still suspicious of Cheng Ke's life experience, so he replied: "If you don't know something, you can only wait until you figure it out." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Luo Weilan nodded hurriedly and said, "This makes sense!" ”
Cheng Ke still looked expressionless, as if he was thinking about something.
I knew that he was suspicious of who had written the anonymous letter to several ghost aperture families.
How could that person know that the prophet and I would come to this place? Ah Jiu?
No, it won't be Ah Jiu, if it's Ah Jiu, why did she attract so many people to compete for immortality? One more, but one more point of the risk of losing immortality, there is no need to make a big fanfare.
Immortality, what the hell is that mysterious immortality! If I was really by my side, I would have handed over Changsheng to my grandfather a long time ago, and I would continue to guard it according to the previous model, so why not take it myself and cause trouble.
Immortality is really a problem, and it feels very bad to be treated as a suspect.
Luo Weilan gossiped a few words, and then went back, Cheng Ke turned his head to look at me: "Sure enough, it's because of the ...... of immortality."
"It's okay, it's okay." I replied: "There is such a thing as longevity, it is also appropriate to be coveted, and when you get back your memory, get your hands on immortality, and throw it elsewhere, you can live a stable life." ”
Cheng Ke nodded and said, "So, even if it is for your peace and memory, you have to get it back." ”
I'm not actually afraid.
Even if there are all kinds of bad luck and all kinds of dangers, I still think it's good to stay by Cheng Ke's side.
I don't know when I started to be so serious, but the feeling for Cheng Ke is like boiling a frog in warm water, and I can't feel it, and slowly, I can't get out.
Now, it's too late.
"You say, what is the origin of those two masters and apprentices who drove out corpses?" I looked at Cheng Ke: "Is it ......?"
"You can borrow corpses to resurrect souls and manipulate dead corpses," Cheng Ke raised his eyes and looked at the morgue: "It's not wrong, it's Biluomen." ”
"Biluomen......" I suddenly realized, and suddenly had a feeling of "long-admiring".
All kinds of legends about Biluomen, I have heard a clear, it's just that this is the first time I have really seen people from Biluomen, their style should be very weird, this time, it is also for immortality......
Could it be that they, like the Ma family, the Hu family and the Luo family, received the anonymous letter "On July 15, Changsheng is in the Huiren Hotel"?
The person who wrote the letter...... Who is it......
