35, barren mountain demon mound
"In these years, as long as you are bold and the hole cards are matched, they are all fried. Luo Lao Er killed his father to seek wealth, and the God of Wealth did not dare to go against him. I said.
"Perhaps, but I still believe that many injustices will kill him, no matter how awesome he is now, there will always be a time to spit it out and lose everything." Wu Biao said.
I vaguely saw the pillar of smoke of Gongxiang from curling up to straight up, my heart was excited, pointing at Gongxiang was about to speak, Uncle Liao held my hand, made a silent gesture, and then pointed to the door.
There were lights in the house, so I couldn't see far, but in the dark night sky, there were green points of light flashing like stars, the size of which seemed to shake, and they converged into a band of light similar to fireflies in front of Uncle Liao's house.
I immediately reacted to the group of black-haired rats, and my heart was furious.
The rat in the darkness did not move, did not make a sound, like a well-trained soldier, and then only heard a soft grunt, and a bloody human head rolled out of the darkness, until the front of the door frame stopped its advance, and with the light illumination, it could be seen that it was a tomb robber who died in the middle of the night on the mountain, and the skin and flesh of his neck were not neat, and he was bitten off alive at first glance.
Then there was a piercing eardrum-piercing scream in the darkness, faintly like a metallic sound, and the rats seemed to be summoned, and they all turned and retreated into the darkness, and in the blink of an eye, there was no one left.
Wu Biao was stunned and looked at the dead man's head shaking at the door, unable to say a word, and at this time, the tribute incense in the room had returned to its upward form.
Uncle Liao stared at his head for a long time and said, "It's really interesting, the mouse actually found the door and called the board." ”
"I see that these rats have become sperm." My heart has palpitations.
Uncle Liao sighed and said, "This is called self-inflicted sin and not living." ”
"Yes, these tomb robbers have done all the things that damage Yin morality, and they are innocent of death." I said.
Uncle Liao said: "I'm not talking about tomb robbers, I'm talking about Aunt Liu Hua." ”
"What does this woman have to do with rats?" I wondered.
"If that giant python is still in Qinglong Mountain, can it be the turn of the mouse to become evil? Therefore, the ecology must not be out of balance, and once it is out of balance, it will pose a threat to local life. Uncle Liao said.
Wu Biao called to report the death, and soon the comrades of the criminal police team of the county bureau rushed to the scene, Uncle Liao did not agree to the crowd to enter the mountain, Wu Biao asked them to prepare for support, and the three of us went to the mountain again after dawn.
Soon came to the area where the accident occurred at night, but except for the willow still standing, there was no abnormality, the remnants of the deceased's body, and the blood stains on the ground disappeared without a trace, even if Wu Biao, who had studied criminal investigation, searched carefully, he did not find any clues.
If it weren't for the human head, I would have suspected that last night was just an illusion.
Uncle Liao couldn't determine the location of the ancient tomb, because Qinglong Mountain really didn't have the image of an auspicious cave, so there could be a burial place anywhere.
I could only go to the corpse inn according to the original plan, only to see the two Yaksha statues hideous and terrifying towards the entrance of the inn, and carefully look at the two statues as if they had life, and the red lacquered wood body not only did not crack and wither in the dark and damp mountain forest, but even faintly revealed a dark red soft light.
The overly realistic statue made me feel very uncomfortable, especially after getting closer, the whole person felt depressed, Wu Biao tried the weight of the statue, and then the three of us worked together to push one of the statues away.
Sure enough, the base of the statue revealed a dark deep hole, only to hear a snoring, Uncle Liao quickly dragged me and Wu Biao aside, a puff of black smoke in the cave came out, drifted into the air, and in a moment the leaves of the birch branches above the cave withered and shriveled, and fell down one after another.
"It's so poisonous, this damn old ghost, after so many years of death, he still thinks about harming people." Wu Biao said with a pale face.
"It's not that he wants to harm people, it's the corpse gas accumulated in the cave, and it'll be fine when it's gone." After waiting for about half an hour, the black gas in the cave gradually faded and disappeared, and we walked to the entrance of the cave only to see that the black and dark were bottomless, Wu Biao took out a flashlight and shone it downward.
In the pillar of light, we saw a scrawny man looking up at us, a smile of disdain on his face.
He was crawling with dense black-haired mice, and when there was a light mouse, they stopped crawling, and they all raised their heads to look at us, some of their claws were sharp, and when they pressed on the man's face, there was a clear blood mark, and in the blink of an eye, his face was covered with scars.
However, the man remained motionless, maintaining that strange smile without the slightest pain.
Suddenly there was a piercing scream from the cave, faintly metallic, exactly like what I had heard in the night, and the black-haired rat made a noisy noise, like the ebb of the tide, and in the blink of an eye it receded from the man into the darkness.
In addition to the head, the flesh and blood on his body, including the internal organs, were gnawed clean, and even the blood stains were licked clean, leaving only a white Sensen skeleton, I couldn't stand it anymore, I ran away in a few steps, and vomited when I opened my mouth.
Wu Biao also smacked his tongue again and again: "It's terrible, Mr. Liao, I'm afraid these rats are not ordinary mice, right?" ”
Uncle Liao nodded and said: "The black-haired mouse is very cunning, because he often enters the chicken coop to steal eggs, so it is also called a night thief." ”
"Stealing eggs? And rats stealing eggs? Wu Biaoqi said.
"Yes, night thieves often work in groups of two, take advantage of the night to burrow into the hen's nest, find the hatching pot, one mouse holds the egg on all fours and does not move, and the other mouse drags its tail to drag the egg-holding mouse away as a transport cart, the whole process is silent."
"These thieves steal rats, god."
"But I've never heard of night thieves eating people, in fact, this kind of rat is very timid, and will run away when it sees a person, so few people know that there are such breeds of rats in the world." Uncle Liao frowned and said, "Could it be that this is the night owl that Aunt Ma said?" ”
I vomited so much that I didn't stop until I spit out the bile, and I felt dizzy and sick when I saw the hole in the ground, so I quickly walked away from the corner of the house, holding on to a pine tree and panting for breath.
Suddenly, a foul smell was inhaled into my lungs, and I coughed again and again, but there was nothing to vomit in my stomach, and I was about to avoid the stench, when I looked up and saw an old green cow stuck in the dirt in front of me.
The green cow belly is all inserted in the soil below, is there also a "eight hundred miles of pride" here? But if you look closely, the back of the green cow is full of flies, and the green cow's head is firmly attached to the mud pile and does not move, although a pair of black eyes are open, but there is no brilliance, and the tongue that is almost white is long and sticks out of the mouth, hanging on the side of the mouth without any salivation.
It was a dead cow rotting away, and the ground directly in front of the cow's head was lined with incense burners and offerings.
Why would anyone sacrifice a dead cow here? Could it be that there are Indians living in Qinglong Mountain? But even if there were Indians, there was no need to bury the lower half of a cow in the dirt?
Thinking of this, I told Uncle Liao and Wu Biao about this situation.
It was impossible for Wu Biao to know the reason, so Uncle Liao picked up a little incense ash and smelled it: "This is the ritual of the tomb robbers to worship the mountain spirit, the incense is bear bile incense, and this cow is a tribute to the mountain spirit." ”
"If the ox is a tribute, why should it be stuck in the dirt?" Wu Biao said.
"Because that thing is underground, nine times out of ten if I'm not mistaken, it's the rats." Uncle Liao said, and then he took out the yin and yang compass to determine the direction and said: "The tomb robbers worship the mountain and pay attention to incense on the spot, and pay tribute to the east." It means that if you only burn incense, burn it on the grave, if you worship the tribute as a sacrifice, it is located in the east of the tomb, most of the general tomb robbers burn incense, it seems that such a big fanfare is used to worship the mountain, indicating that these tomb robbers have long known that there are not only ancient tombs in Qinglong Mountain, but also mountain beasts in the tombs. ”
"The mountain spirits like to build their nests in the tombs the most, because most of the ancient tombs are deep underground, dark and quiet, and the environment is liked by the mountain spirits, so when you enter the tomb, you have to deal with the secret buried agency news, and you also have to deal with the mountain spirits and wild monsters who use the ancient tomb as a nest, and once the mountain spirits enter the tomb,"
Wu Biao said: "A few tomb robbers have obviously done useless work, although they "bribed" the mountain spirits, but they did not play any role, and they still became the food on the plate of the mountain spirits. ”
Then we went to the west of the corpse inn, and sure enough, we found a circular thief hole in a dark brown mountain surrounded by strange rocks, and a few changed clothes were placed at the entrance of the cave.
Wu Biao searched the pockets of several pieces of clothing and found a wallet, which contained the ID card and driver's license of one of them.
"Tomb robbers are expected to be popular, I guess they may have been scared away by the tragedy." Uncle Liao said.
Wu Biao's mobile phone rang, and after connecting it, Lao Ding's voice roared: "Old Wu, I found the designer who undertook the construction of the prison." ”
"Okay, you tell me his phone number."
"I'm afraid I don't have a mobile phone number, this person died a long time ago, and before he died, he was mentally abnormal, and he received treatment for a long time in the Fourth Psychiatric Hospital."
