Chapter 575: The Legend of the Dead and the Alive
It turned out that a dark green snake with the thickness of a flat shoulder spitting a blood-red long letter came down from the cliff, and it was actually facing my bath tub!
I was so frightened that I cried out, "Holy, snake!" and the snake struck me on the shoulder, and then fell into the tub, its body coiled into a huge "mosquito coil", and writhed in the tub, and the tail made a splash.
I reflexively jumped to the side and shouted at Qiu Ling, "Qiu Ling, catch the snake!"
Xiang Qiuling also showed timidity and said, "I'm also afraid of snakes......"
It turned out that it was Fu Ying who could catch snakes, and Xiang Qiuling was also afraid of snakes. It seems that everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and not everything.
I sighed and tried to find a stick to kill the snake. But Xiang Qiuling suddenly said: "Don't kill it—the snakes that enter the house are all ancestors! Let me see what kind of snake this is...... It looks like a black snake, it's a non-venomous snake, you grab it and throw it back to the cliff. ”
Since Xiang Qiuling said that it was a non-venomous snake, then I had no choice but to catch the snake. However, I didn't know anything about snake catching techniques, so I didn't know where to start. I pinched the snake's tail and pulled it hard - I had never caught a snake before, and I thought the snake was as slippery as the eel, but it wasn't, I felt a dry body with many tiny scales. I easily screwed it up.
I was about to throw it out, but I didn't expect its body to wrap around my arm several times, and its head swam up and bit on my forearm! Although I grabbed its head as fast as I could, I still had two deep tooth holes left on my forearm, and blood came out at once......
I threw the damn thing out of my scalp with all my might, and then looked at my wound blankly, like a fool.
Xiang Qiuling hurriedly gave me a pill that I didn't know what effect it had, washed my wound with water, and then bandaged me with a piece of gauze.
"You should have grabbed its head at the beginning, not its tail......" Xiang Qiuling sighed.
That night, Xiang Qiuling and I moved two bamboo chairs and sat in the grass flat at the entrance of the hall to enjoy the shade.
"Qiu Ling, where are we going this time, and why do we want to defend against those corpse poisons?" I asked, shaking my fan.
"The place we are going to is called Ghost Fire Chong, there is an ancient tomb there, the tomb of the leader of a rebel army, this leader of the rebel army is named Xiang Wang, and he is also the ancestor of my Xiang clan. However, this tomb is extremely hidden, and there are many mechanisms and prohibitions, and most of the tomb robbers are silent when they hear about this tomb. ”
"Oh? Why is that? As the saying goes, the devil is one foot high, the road is one foot high, is there anything in this world that can make tomb robbers feel afraid? For example, Yingying and her father Fu Tiansheng, there should be no tombs that are difficult to live in!"
"There are three kinds of tombs that are not stolen by tomb robbers, one is a dead tomb, the second is a living tomb, and the third is a ghost tomb, and especially the ghost tomb!"
"What is a dead tomb, what is a living tomb, and what is a witch tomb?" I wondered. Professional tomb robber Fu Ying has never mentioned these things to me, I don't know how Xiang Qiuling, a witch, knows these things?
"Tomb robbers generally use Luoyang shovels or other tools to drill in advance and take soil samples to determine the nature of the tomb. If it is a dead, alive or ghost grave, they will immediately stop robbing the tomb and leave. The Dead Grave is the most dangerous and complex labyrinth, with the smell of death everywhere and no rules to follow. The only thing a person can do when he enters a dead tomb is to wait for death! A living tomb contains everything that is alive, including the body of the owner of the tomb, the body of the person accompanying the burial, and the zombie that is used as a forbidden tomb, which is called zongzi by the tomb robbers, as well as other terracotta figurines and stone men and stone horses that accompany the burial...... In such a living tomb, once the tomb robbers enter, there is only one word, and that is death! And the ghost tomb, in addition to the characteristics of both the dead tomb and the living tomb, also has one more characteristic, which is the ghost nature! And the ghost nature is what the tomb robbers fear the most!
"According to you, this tomb must be one of these three tombs?" I asked.
"Yes, and it's a ghost tomb!" Xiang Qiuling's teeth carried a coldness that invaded the bone marrow!
"Ahem, what if it's a ghost tomb? Haven't our Extraordinary Calamity Incident Handling Team been dealing with these things all the time?" I didn't care.
"Brother Yang, you really can't underestimate the ghost tomb, the reason why the ghost is called 'ghost' is that it is the most unpredictable, the most unpredictable and the most difficult to prevent. It's different from all the dangers we've encountered before!" said Xiang Qiuling, her eyes wide.
"We've seen them in the Ampostian Tower, that's what happened. ”
"But the ghosts of the Ampostian Mansion are still human ghosts, not real ghosts!
"Well, I value it. By the way, Qiu Ling, where am I going to sleep tonight?" I yawned.
"You're hooked!" said Qiu Ling with a mysterious smile.
"What do you mean?" I looked up at the row of wooden hooks that swayed in the night breeze under the porch. I thought this was some kind of cultivation method.
"We have to kill a pig every Chinese New Year, and then cut the pork into pieces and hang it on the hook, or let it dry naturally, which is called blowing meat, or smoke it with the smoke from firewood burning until it is browned, this is called bacon......" Xiang Qiuling continued to laugh.
I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood: "Qiu Ling, how bad are you......"
Xiang Qiuling restrained her smile and said: "Okay, don't joke with you, you sleep in the hall or sleep in my room, this hall is the place where the ancestors of my family stopped when they passed away, the old people are not very restless, sometimes they will make some movements, such as scratching the wall, uncovering the tiles or finding something to eat in the kitchen, of course, they will touch your forehead when they like you......"
I looked at the gloomy hall, and then listened to Xiang Qiuling's creepy words, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly oozed from my back!
Although I know that the "ancestral ghosts" are made up by people, in the same environment, my heart is naturally hairy......
"Okay, this room smells too strong, you better sleep in my room—you come with me. She took me by the hand and led me to her room, while she herself carried a mat to the hall and went to sleep.
"Qiu Ling, the smell in the hall is heavy, let's sleep in the hall. I shouted.
Xiang Qiuling waved his hand at me: "Rest early, we have to go to Ghost Fire Chong tomorrow." ”
