Volume 1: The Rise of the Witch Clouds_Chapter 20: The Turtle Spirit at the Bottom of the Cellar
I felt the hair shiver all over my body and goosebumps.
The dead all had round eyes, gritted teeth, dark faces, and hideous appearances!
A cloth bag was tied around their necks and hung them from a wooden beam, like bacon hanging in winter!
Two of them were shriveled and skinny, with swarms of cockroaches burrowing in and out of their mouths and noses! Apparently already made a nest in their chest viscera!
These two bodies are a man and a woman, I just looked at it and trembled, it turned out to be Zhao Youzong's original wife, all the villagers thought she ran away with others, and they all scolded her for being a slut, but I didn't expect to be killed by Zhao Youzong in the cellar, and she was hollowed out.
There is another man I don't know, needless to say that it is the mistress of this woman before, and Tong Tong is their son!
The remaining four bodies are all covered with strange prayer flags that are red and yellow, I glanced at them and shook them, these four corpses are Cai Lanlan, Cai Lanlan's husband Su Dacang, Maotou's sister, and He Dasheng, who just died!
Although Zhao Youzong was not here, the inexplicable fear made my whole body tremble, there was a long vertical stone trough under the straight feet of these corpses, and yellow oily things kept dripping down!
Around the stone trough, there was a group of hungry turtles, huddled together, all looking up to catch the yellow oil!
Turtles raised in corpse oil! No wonder these turtles are so evil and aggressive!
Spotting me, an alien intruder, all the turtles turned their bodies over, their ugly necks twisted, and their little red eyes staring at me, as if they could pounce at any moment.
When all the soft-shelled turtles had climbed out of the stone trough, I suddenly found that there was a huge soft-shelled turtle at the bottom of the stone trough, more than three times larger than the other soft-shelled turtles, the size of a small pot lid, and the shell of the soft-shelled turtle was dark red, and slowly crawled out of the group of soft-shelled turtles.
The other turtles spread out in both directions, and when this turtle crawled out, it stuck out its head and kept looking at me, and I always felt that its eyes were human, with a hostile and inquiring taste.
After staring at me for a moment, its eyes rolled and it craned its neck and whined, and the other turtles quickly pounced on me.
I was scared and my legs were weak, I didn't expect that under this cellar, it was actually a place for corpse oil to raise turtles!
If you are bitten by these turtles at the same time, even if the fourth uncle rescues him immediately, it is estimated that it will be more than lucky.
I hurriedly crawled out of the dirt door, grabbed the wall of the cave and climbed up.
Unexpectedly, due to nervousness, he didn't grasp it at once, and fell down again with a pop!
I felt a pain in my back, and it seemed that I had hit a few turtles that followed, and my heart was empty, and the flesh on my body was probably torn off by these turtles!
I was closing my eyes and waiting for death, a pretty girl suddenly appeared next to me, it was Xi'er who appeared in danger, she glanced at me, suddenly let out a high-frequency scream, the hair behind her was raised, those turtles were stunned, they stopped, and a few turtles even retreated in fright.
She turned to me and said, "Can you get up, go!" ”
Half of my body was numb, and I was about to struggle to get up, when a big turtle with a dark red back suddenly burst out!
The stream floated in front of me, and the turtle seemed to have become sperm, and it was not afraid of the stream, and its mouth was still whining.
When the turtles heard the sound, they immediately formed a circle around me.
At this point, it is impossible to leave.
Fortunately, at this time, the voice of the fourth uncle calling me sounded above my head, my nose was sore, and I almost shouted with a crying voice, "Fourth uncle, I am in the cellar!" ”
There was a sound of footsteps overhead, and before the group of turtles came to besiege, the fourth uncle had already jumped in, and it seemed that Zhao Youzong should not have been found.
He pulled me up, "Are you alright?" ”
I was speechless and shook my head.
The fourth uncle looked at the form and immediately understood, "It turns out that this is where he raised turtles, and I was worried that I couldn't find those turtles that ran away, so it's time to save trouble!" ”
When he saw the big turtle, his eyes lit up, "Are you semen?" ”
The big turtle seemed to be able to sense the threat of the fourth uncle, unlike the other turtles that dared to besiege the fourth uncle before, and slowly retreated.
Only then did I recover from the trembling and grabbed the fourth uncle, "There are dead people inside, and these turtles are fed with dead man's oil!" ”
The fourth uncle paused slightly, once again showed the peach wood sword he was carrying, and turned to look at Xi'er, "You dodge, this peach wood sword kills all filthy things!" ”
Xi'er puffed out her mouth, and didn't dare to quarrel with the fourth uncle, so she turned around and hid in the ring.
The fourth uncle put the peachwood sword up, sliding quickly from the hilt to the tip of the sword, and the peachwood sword made a clattering sound, which was particularly strange.
The big turtle saw the fourth uncle draw his sword, and immediately turned around and left, at this time there was a faint red light on the fourth uncle's peachwood sword, and the little turtle that was picked up was squeaked, and wanted to shrink into the shell of the turtle, but when it shrank to the middle of the road, it was already dead.
At this time, the fourth uncle seemed to be really powerful, as long as the ghost turtle that touched the peach wood sword was invincible, the peach wood sword was like a spirit, and it was the nemesis of these turtles, and these turtles who were still entangled with the fourth uncle died in an instant.
I really suspect that there is something in the peachwood sword, and this thing has now been awakened by the fourth uncle.
When the fourth uncle rushed into the earthen gate, the dead man's body was still hanging on the beam, but the turtle had disappeared.
The fourth uncle turned a blind eye to the corpse, his eyes were unusually bright, he looked intently at every corner of the cellar, and when he encountered the little turtle, he would kill it with a sword, but the strange big turtle seemed to disappear out of thin air.
The fourth uncle looked around, and the peachwood sword in his hand suddenly trembled, and he immediately stabbed the sword towards the corner of the cellar, which was a dark land, and there was nothing abnormal.
Who knew that after the fourth uncle stabbed, the land turned over, and the figure of a big turtle appeared, and in an instant, it had escaped into the soil, as long as it was not found for a while, it would escape.
The peachwood sword pierced the turtle's neck, and blood gushed out along the peachwood sword, and it struggled desperately, and in its resentment, it actually bit the peachwood sword at an incredible angle, and never let it go.
The fourth uncle wanted to nail it firmly to the ground, but the strength of the turtle was really not small, and the peach wood sword kept swinging, and the blood soaked the ground in a dark red.
No wonder that weasel is so afraid of the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle will not show mercy to these things.
After a while, it finally couldn't withstand the strength of the fourth uncle's hand, bleeding too much, and its strength became smaller and smaller, and its whole body trembled violently, and it died.
"This turtle spirit didn't go up to besiege before, otherwise it would be really troublesome to deal with! Fortunately, it will possess people and absorb the essence and blood except for it! ”
The fourth uncle pulled out the peachwood sword, wiped the blood stains on it with his sleeve, the peachwood sword at this time had no trace of red light, the turtle actually bit a deep scar on the peachwood sword before he died, the fourth uncle stroked the peachwood sword, his expression became warm, as if it would be painful.
After putting away the peachwood sword, the fourth uncle looked at the six corpses and asked me if I knew them, after I nodded, the fourth uncle gritted his teeth and said, "Evil man, it seems that he has always been the one who harmed people, and he should really be killed at once." ”
I feel incredible, how could a person who had his limbs removed by the fourth uncle escape in the hands of the mighty fourth uncle?
The fourth uncle sighed, "Someone came to save him, and he deliberately set up a maze array on the road to lead me there, although he couldn't trap me, but I also lost his trace, the person who saved him came to your grandmother's house before, and it still smelled of paint!" ”
The smell of paint, there are no carpenters in our village, and I don't understand what the smell of paint smelled by the fourth uncle represents.
After thinking about it for a while, he turned his head and still saw these horrific corpses, "What are these dead bodies doing, do you still notify people to claim them?" ”
The fourth uncle shook his head, "These are used to refine corpse oil, and unlike hollowing out the internal organs, it is possible to cheat the corpse, and they all have to be burned!" ”
The fourth uncle grabbed a handful of red powder, probably cinnabar and red nitrate, and hit the corpses of the two crawling insects, and the cockroaches fell from the corpses one after another, and they died before they shook for long.
"Don't let people claim these two bodies that are used to refine insects and beetles, and the regeneration incident of the province will be burned together."
The fourth uncle put down the corpses one by one, and then recited a mantra in his mouth, his expression was full of compassion, and he picked up a corpse, and seemed to climb to the top of the cellar with no effort.
I originally wanted to help the fourth uncle, but I was so scared that even if I dared to hold someone to death, I couldn't climb up, so I let the fourth uncle do it himself.
After the fourth uncle cleaned up the dead body, he carried a big bag, put the turtle corpse in it, and finally lifted the neck of the big turtle and climbed out of the cellar with me.
Then the fourth uncle lit the hermitage, and when the fire was blazing, the fourth uncle took me away.
It was almost midnight, and people were sleeping soundly, and even if they were alarmed to put out the fire, this grassy hermitage with dense firewood would all come to naught.
When I walked back, I found that the fourth uncle was carrying the corpse of the big turtle, and said in surprise, "Why didn't this burn together?" ”
"I'm going to see if it's really a refinement."
Walking in the dark for a while, the fourth uncle suddenly asked about the weasel, I told the truth, the fourth uncle asked about Xi'er again, and said hehe, "It seems that she really didn't hurt anyone, and she didn't hurt you." ”
Thinking about the curse in me and seeing the bloody scene just now, I didn't think how lucky I was to have an extra talisman female ghost.
"But why does Zhao Youzong want to hurt people?" I still can't figure it out.
"Hmph, heretical witchcraft is all about harming people, and their own witchcraft can't progress without harming others. However, he seems to be waiting for us, the four ghosts in the four ghosts are not so easy to invite, he must have sacrificed the four ghosts in advance, and prayed, the four ghosts will be on standby, strange, how would he know that we were coming to him tonight? ”
