Volume 1: The Rise of the Witch Clouds_Chapter 29: Entering the Ghost Cave by Mistake
After he left, Mao Tou and I could talk casually, and no one was around to maliciously sarcastic.
At the moment, the two of us were not in a hurry to buy vegetables, but turned around in the market, I wanted to buy a dress for Xi'er, her original clothes were white, very scary, imagine how she looks in new clothes, it must look good. Because Maotou followed, it was also very inconvenient.
After a long time, my physical strength and that of Maotou were about to be overdrawn, and I couldn't find a reason to get rid of Maotou, so I decided to buy vegetables first.
The vegetables on the outskirts of the city should be fresh and cheap, but they are relatively remote, on the way to the suburbs, I don't know what's going on, I always feel that someone is following us, and when I look back, I don't see anything, I think I may be a little suspicious.
By the time we bought a bag of vegetables and walked back, it was really hard to carry and we were sweating profusely. Just as we stopped to rest, a man walked by at the mouth of the alley in the distance.
The man was about forty years old, with a thin face, heavy bags under his eyes, and a strange speech, not quite like someone near Wutai Mountain, he glanced at us and said, "Two little brothers, do you want to come in and play, we have a lot of fun." ”
Only then did I realize that the alley behind him was crookedly nailed with a sign that read "Haunted House".
Maotou asked, "What's inside, let's go in and play?" ”
The man said mysteriously, "The haunted house that you young people like the most, I'm sure you haven't played it, come on." ”
Maotou's health is getting better now, and when he followed the fourth uncle to learn the Tao, the only regret was that he hadn't seen a ghost yet, and he was afraid and looking forward to the ghost, so he shook his head and said, "What's fun, it's all fake." ”
The man smiled, a look of surprise on his face, "Do you want to see the real thing?" You might be able to see it, but just come in and have a look. ”
The two of us were really tired of walking, and we thought that it would be good to rest here for a while, looking at this person's appearance, I should be very eager to attract customers, and deliberately pretended to be very mysterious.
The two of us thought it strange and strange, in broad daylight, it was ghostly, but this alley was extraordinarily deep, not popular at all, and after turning seven or eight turns, I came to a dark and dilapidated house, for some reason, I suddenly had a strange feeling in my heart.
The man paused in front of the house to wait for us, then pushed open a small door and went down into a darker staircase, which went down as if the place he said was underground.
At this time, I was full of suspicion, and when the man saw that we didn't come down, he stood and smiled, "Haunted house, dare you come?" As long as you are brave enough to go to the end, don't be scared back, and don't take your money, this is what we just opened, and few people know about it yet. ”
I saw a small door at the bottom of the stairs, and a hideous grimace was drawn on it, with a grim smile.
Look at the horror that this person said, if I had been put before, I might not want to go down, but I have two ghosts on my body now, and I can still be afraid of your little haunted house.
I even had the idea of a prank in my heart, when I go to your haunted house, I will release the stream and watch the fake ghost in you meet the real ghost, are you afraid?
I said yes and walked down first, and the man turned sideways and let us approach the haunted house.
There are only narrow passages in the haunted house, oil lamps hanging on the walls, smoke rising from time to time on the ground, and miserable cries coming from time to time in the depths. ”
Mao Tou's voice did not fall, from the front corner suddenly revealed a woman with a face full of blood, round eyes appeared, although we were psychologically defensive, but still frightened by this woman chills, the face of the woman stared at us after the appearance of the woman, around us a circle and disappeared.
I turned my head to see no trace of her, her appearance was as strange as her disappearance.
"Damn, it's so horrible!" Maotou took a few steps back in fright, and kept stroking his chest.
At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that his seven spirits should have just been bred, and such a fright, would it damage his soul? Turning to him, he said, "It's all fake, no matter what comes out, don't care, just walk over." ”
Who knows what will happen next, not to mention hairy heads, even I am terrified, there are long-necked ghosts, long-fanged hungry ghosts, and headless ghosts, all of which are fierce and abnormal.
Especially the headless ghost, which brushed the ground next to the root of the neck without a head, only revealing a bloody neck, which made people see the oozing cool air coming out of the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, my heart was not as calm as before, especially after the headless ghost appeared, I suddenly felt that these things were not pretended, and I suddenly had the eerie feeling when the hundred ghosts surrounded the house, is it a real ghost?
At that time, I just thought so in my heart, and I still thought it was unlikely, how could there be real ghosts in a haunted house? Besides, this place is still at the foot of Wutai Mountain, and there are masters of Buddhism and Taoism, so raising ghosts here is too bold, right?
Although I thought so, those "ghosts" still made my heart furious, so I wanted Xi'er to come out to scare them, I didn't say anything on the surface, but in my heart I was silently thinking about Xi'er, and asked her to scare those people who pretended to be ghosts.
Xi'er woke up in the ring, but responded to me, "Why am I doing such a boring thing?" ”
I felt embarrassed when she refused, and asked her how she could tell the difference between a human and a ghost.
Xi'er wondered if I asked this question suddenly, but she told me anyway, saying, "Ghosts have no shadows, and they don't dare to touch the ground with their heels when they walk." ”
There was darkness in this haunted house, and I couldn't see if there was a shadow or not, and as for the heels, I couldn't see it, they just showed their heads, showed greedy looks at us, and then disappeared.
"Is there any other way?" At this time, two wooden "ghosts" suddenly appeared in front of us, leaning towards me and Maotou.
"What are you doing, if you suspect it's a ghost, don't provoke it. It's easy to identify, and there is no reflection in the ghost's eyes. ”
At this time, there was an oil lamp on the wall, and I turned my head to see a jumping flame in Maotou's eyes, but when I turned my head to look at these two people, their eyes were hollow, and there was neither a shadow nor a reflection of the flames.
I felt a chill on my back, what kind of haunted house is this, this is a real ghost cave!
Could it be because of my incense and candle spell that I have attracted these ghosts and conjured up such a haunted house that wants to kill me here?
How can there be so many ghosts in this place? The more I thought about it, the more terrifying I felt, and I reached out and grabbed Maotou, who was walking forward with full concentration, startled by my sudden action.
"Don't go any further, this haunted house is a bit weird." I actually want to tell him that the ghosts here are real ghosts, and that this man may not have brought us in for a pure purpose.
"Go back? This is almost over, and I'm not afraid of those scary things. Let's go, go forward! Maotou didn't know that these were real ghosts, but he was a little excited, and when he saw that I was going to retreat, he pulled me forward.
I dragged the hair back, but he pulled forward, I was about to explain the situation to him, the man who led us in suddenly appeared in front of us, he looked at us, "You two are not small, you are not scared away, below is the evil ghost kneeling, after this level, even if you pass, I will send you some souvenirs." ”
At this step of the aisle, I still can't figure out what medicine this person bought in the gourd, but he doesn't mean to hurt us yet, I originally dragged Maotou back, let go of Maotou's hand, and when I didn't figure out what was going on, it was better not to provoke him.
Seeing that I was no longer dragging him, Mao Tou walked up and asked, "What evil ghost bows down?" ”
The man smiled, turned and pointed behind him, and I saw a dozen or so statues of animals behind him, and when I looked up, there were exactly twelve.
The statues of the zodiac are about half a meter high, and unlike the statues I have seen in the past, all the zodiac signs have red eyes and erect ears, and all the zodiac signs are trying their best to open their mouths wide, as if they are devouring something.
This scene makes people get goosebumps just by looking at it.
Mao Tou and I were wondering, and the man pointed to Mao Tou and said, "What do you belong to, go and ride one of them, and after a while there will be a terrible little ghost to pay homage to you, as long as you can sit on it, I will send you some souvenirs, and you are welcome to come at any time in the future." ”
After saying that, he looked at me, "Oh, don't come up, you're less daring than him." ”
When he was talking to us, I paid attention to his face again, his eyes were scattered, his bags were drooping, his hair was like grass, and his body was emaciated.
After saying that, he turned into a dark wall and did not come out again.
Mao Tou looked around, and at this time there was a deathly silence around him, and there was nothing unusual, and he cursed a strange thing, and swaggered up.
Mao Tou was a year older than me, and belonged to a horse, so he found a statue of a horse and sat on it, and in a trance, I seemed to see the horse's mouth closed a little, and when I looked at it again, the horse seemed to have never moved.
"It's very comfortable, what is this made of, it's like riding on real horseback, stinky baby, do you want to come up and try it too."
Before I could answer, a demon came out from behind the wall.
This evil ghost is obviously different from the previous evil ghost, he has white hair, wears a white dress, a bit like Qian Mazi's filial piety robe, and wears a red-eyed and red-toothed demon mask on his face, covering his face tightly, and walks in without a sound, holding an incense burner in his left hand, and a black cat in his right hand, staring at me and Maotou motionlessly.
The cat struggled in his hands, but he grabbed the cat by the neck and did not let go at all.
Seeing such a strange scene, Mao Tou and I no longer dared to speak.
To be sure, it wasn't a ghost that came in this time, but a man who could make contact with the real thing, his steps were heavy, and I could even hear his breathing.
After looking at it for a while, he walked leisurely between me and Maotou, put the incense burner on the ground, lit three incense sticks, and suddenly looked up at Maotou and said, "What's your name?" ”
The man's voice was slightly old, some of them were hoarse, and he could hear that he was seriously in the middle of the breath and did not leave, and he coughed twice after asking.
Maotou was stunned, "Do you still ask for a name when you play this?" My name is Su Qihai, what's wrong? ”
The man nodded, stopped talking, bent his legs, and bowed down to Maotou.
"Boom!" He stumbled on his head, prostrate himself, and pressed the cat to the ground.
The cat was probably pressed and screamed and struggled.
But then something even more unexpected happened, the man held the cat down, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and suddenly bit the cat's neck.
"Meow~"
The cat let out a miserable cry, and its whole body trembled violently, but it was crushed by the man, and it could not break free at all.
The man seemed to go mad, like a wild beast, and bit the cat's neck one bite after another, and his mouth was full of hair, and finally blood came out of his mouth.
It's cat blood, and the cat's barking is no longer the cat's voice, the dying sound, penetrating the heart and lungs, making people just want to plug their ears!
At this time, Mao Tou, when he bit the cat's neck for the first time, seemed to want to stand up, and then for some unknown reason, he sat down on the statue of the horse again in a daze.
He bit harder and harder, and I could even see the blood red of the cat's neck, and he had bitten half of the cat's neck, and the cat let out a mournful sound, and scratched its limbs violently, and finally stopped moving.
