Chapter 18: Meet Xiaohu Again

Wu Laoshao looked at the pockmarked and urged: "Hurry up, you pockmarked are still blowing endlessly." After a while, the bandits who will go to find the fart after dawn?"

Seeing that Wu Laolao was anxious, the pockmark said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, we haven't seen anyone for ten days and a half months to drive the corpse, and occasionally I can't help but see a person who can talk, I will do the right thing." ”

After speaking, the pockmarked light in his hand and placed it in the open space in front of the coffins where his patrons were lying, the light of the lantern was faint and yellow, but the scope illuminated was very large, and all the coffins were shrouded in that light. After Mazi lit the lamp, he covered the coffins of his patrons with a layer of cloth, and Wu Lao Lao couldn't see the material but could vaguely feel the difference in the cloth, and then Mazi took out some miscellaneous small things from the treasure bag and laid out a few small formations around the coffin group.

When Mazi finishes his work, the hour he sees will pass.

Wu Laoscoo hurriedly urged Mazi to go up the mountain with him, and Mazi took a breath at this time and couldn't help scolding: "You can't wait for me to rest for a while?"

Wu Laoshao asked him: "I said pockmarks, why are you making such a mess?"

Seeing Wu Laoscoo's curiosity, the pockmark also took advantage of the time to take a breath to explain to him: "You think our business of chasing corpses is simple, but in fact, there are many ways in it." We are always out of the night, and we have to be careful in everything, and we have to worry about the mountain spirits and ghosts, and we have to worry about the customers making trouble. ”

Wu Lao Lao was shocked: "You said that your patrons are making trouble?

Mazi pretended to be unfathomable and nodded: "Yes, you think they are really ordinary corpses? The souls of these patrons were sealed in corpses by us with secret methods, and because they were very resentful of being killed in a foreign land, they would be transformed into real zombies if they were not careful, and then it would be troublesome, and it was even more terrifying than being taken away by mountain spirits and ghosts. ”

Wu Lao Lao asked if he had the heart to inquire, "How can this corpse become a zombie?" The zombie Wu Lao Lao Lao had heard that it was terrible, and he heard that this zombie was not in the Five Elements, and it was indeed difficult to deal with the invulnerability of copper skin and iron bones

Mazi saw that Wu Lao Lao didn't understand, so he explained to him: "This guest is a patron in a foreign country, we use our secret method of chasing corpses to forcibly stay in the body, saying that if you don't live or die, you will not die, and if you encounter a black cat drenched in the moonlight, it will arouse the resentment in the corpse, then it will be easy to get up the corpse." Don't you see that my patrons are wearing cloaks and shrouds?"

Wu Laoshao suddenly realized: "I said that those customers of yours are all dressed strangely, I thought they were trying to hide people's ears and fear people's panic." ”

Mazi smiled: "Sure enough, Brother Lao Spoon is smart, and I guessed another reason why the patrons wore cloaks and shrouds." Besides, I'm here to put everlasting lights and set up formations, you can also see that we are also people who drive corpses, and we also have to rest. However, this inn where ordinary people live can't accommodate us, so there are some people who run corpse inns to provide us with a place to stay.

That is, the owner of the corpse inn is not here today, otherwise I wouldn't be so troublesome. This ever-bright lamp is to appease the souls of this patron, and to prevent the mountain spirits and ghosts from harassing us while we are resting, and the formations that are placed are the same, but they only add a layer of protection. Usually it's the people from the corpse inn who help guard the everlasting lantern, but now the people from the corpse inn are not there, so I have to be more careful, right?"

Wu Laolao saw that this pockmark began to flamm again, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Okay, don't show off, let's hurry up the mountain." ”

Mazi scolded: "After listening to the story, you will unload the mill and kill the donkey." ”

Wu Lao Lao was not angry and smiled: "Isn't it like it's going to be night? Let's go early and return early." ”

Seeing that Wu Lao Lao Spoon said so simply, Mazi couldn't help but remind him: "Don't underestimate this bandit too much, they can survive in this mountain, not only to prevent other bandits from annexing the big cottage, but also to avoid the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, but they are all difficult to get along with, Brother Lao Spoon must not be careless." ”

The two artists were bold enough to take advantage of the deep mountain fog in the middle of the night to touch it, and the speed of the two of them was not slow, and they arrived at the village in half an hour.

After all, Mazi is an old Jianghu, and the more he goes, the more he feels that something is wrong, but because nothing happened along the way, he can't remember what is wrong.

Mazi had no choice but to follow behind Wu Lao Lao and be on guard.

After a while, Wu Lao Lao and Ma Zi saw the bandit village, only to see that the village was built against the cliff, the mountain wind blew from time to time there were falling rocks falling down, and the group of crows next to the village were screaming on the dead trees without leaves, and for a while the sound of the wind, the crows, and the friction of the dead trees shaking reached the ears of the two together, and the atmosphere became more and more mysterious.

When the two looked into the stockade, they saw piles of bonfires burning in the open space in the middle of the stockade, and the bandits bowed down as if they were holding some kind of ritual.

Mazi then remembered that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Wu Laoscoo: "I know what's wrong, this damn bandit didn't put his eyes and ears outside." ”

Wu Lao Lao knew that Mazi meant that this bandit was the most vigilant, and he usually put a secret sentry outside the village, and he was on guard at any time, and he thought in his heart that it was really wrong, and the two of them did not encounter a bandit secret sentry when they went up the mountain.

However, at this time, Wu Laosco could only bite the bullet and say: "Don't be afraid, pockmarks, maybe it's the cottage shopkeeper's birthday today, so they are all drinking and having fun, this is a good opportunity." ”

Mazi knew that Wu Lao Lao was talking nonsense, but he didn't care, thinking about what else this bandit could turn over.

The two of them made up their minds and touched in, not daring to approach a stilted building next to them, watching what the group of bandits were doing.

I saw a wooden stake erected in the center of the bonfire, and a child was tied to the stake sturdily.

In the center of the bonfire stood an old white-haired woman with a withered face, dancing with her hands in an indescribable strangeness. The old woman danced like a great god for a long time before she spoke: "There is still half an hour before it is auspicious, you first rest and prepare to meet the great god, and you find a few people to take care of this sacrifice." ”

Mazi and Wu Lao Lao looked at each other to figure it out, this bandit nest didn't know when he believed this old witch who pretended to be a ghost and walked on the crooked path of the evil door. Wu Laoscoo then remembered that the villagers in the village below the mountain had said that the bandits wanted to arrest the child, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Before the two of them could figure it out, a few people approached where they were hiding. The two had a tacit understanding and went into the stilted building next to them together.

When the two of them entered the stilted building, they found that there was a man lying straight inside, covered in bruises, and his whole body was tied firmly.

Mazi looked down and exclaimed, "Old Litou!"
