Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Moving Corpse
Seeing the corpse move, the fat man and the old cow were so frightened that they immediately hugged each other and shouted, "Hell! ”
Although the speed of these corpses was fast, they were still not faster than Li Chunfeng, and they quickly intercepted a corpse and lifted the white cloth on it, startling him.
The corpse's whole face became jet black, and its body was also covered with black blood clots, Li Chunfeng had studied medicine for so many years, so he naturally recognized what kind of disease this was, and exclaimed: "Black blood." ”
The so-called black blood is a plague that comes from rats, and the infected person has a black face, black blood spots on the body, and the blood is also black, which is extremely contagious, and once you get this disease, you will die the next day.
For example, two neighbors, lying on the wall today and still talking, tomorrow the other family will not move, but when I go to the house, the whole family is dead, and the fatality rate of this disease is so bad, and it is not to blame that every family is so closed, and the white lanterns are hung high.
In order to further verify, Li Chunfeng took out a silver needle and inserted it into the blood veins of the corpse, pulled out the silver needle, and found that it did not turn black, which made Li Chunfeng very surprised, judging by the appearance of these corpses, this person must have died of black blood, but the blood veins are not black, there must be something strange in it.
Subsequently, Li Chunfeng found many needles on the acupuncture points on the limbs of the corpse, and when the corpse could move, he had some eyebrows.
Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them prepared to find a place to live, because the houses here were closed, and no one came, the only inn had long been closed, so they had to find a dilapidated house, ready to deal with it there for the night.
The house was desolate, overgrown with weeds, and in a dilapidated manner, with broken tables, chairs, benches, and dust, but the house was sturdy enough to survive a night.
The fat man and the old cow followed Li Chunfeng tremblingly, after today's events, they were so frightened that their souls were about to be lost.
The fat man said: "Xiao Chunzi, fat man, this will not be a murderous house!" ”
Lao Niu looked around, couldn't help but shudder, and said, "I look like it." ”
Li Chunfeng was really speechless at the two guys in front of him, so he decided to scare the two guys and said, "If there are ghosts, seeing you two so cowardly, they will definitely eat you first." ”
As soon as these words came out, the two immediately straightened up and pretended to be very calm, but in fact, they couldn't do it in their hearts.
When the fire was lit, the fat man and the old cow felt a lot more at ease, and because they had been on the road for a day, they soon fell asleep together.
Li Chunfeng sat cross-legged on the ground for a long time and couldn't sleep, judging from all kinds of signs, this town is too weird, and you must pay more attention to prevent accidents.
In the middle of the night, Li Chunfeng couldn't support it anymore, and sat by the fire and fell asleep.
At this moment, there was movement outside, and Li Chunfeng immediately woke up and got up to see the situation outside the door.
The scene outside the door completely frightened Li Chunfeng, and more than a dozen figures appeared in the courtyard, "they" had dark faces, closed their eyes tightly, had no expression, their bodies were stiff, and they walked very slowly, and they were in exactly the same condition as the corpses they saw today.
Li Chunfeng was also very puzzled, could it be that he really met a ghost? Wrong! There are no ghosts in the world, and there must be something strange in them.
So Li Chunfeng immediately woke up the two partners, and when the fat man and the old cow saw the scene outside the door, they were so frightened that they immediately collapsed to the ground, and they kept chanting: "Ghost, ghost." ”
It seems that these two can't count on these two guys, so they reluctantly pulled out the ink shadow sword and flew out of the door directly, saying, "Master, today I want to see if you are human or ghost." ”
Seeing Li Chunfeng rushing out, the dozen or so corpses seemed to have a sense, and immediately rushed over, the speed was very fast, and they didn't have the slow appearance before.
Dozens of sword qi flew out of the long sword, and in the middle of those corpses, huge wounds appeared, and the bones were visible, but instead of falling, they moved a little faster, straightening out their hands and constantly attacking Li Chunfeng, but he had no choice but to keep dodging.
For such dead people, they can only restrict their actions first, and when Li Chunfeng's figure appeared on the opposite side, his arms and legs flew on the field instantly, and those corpses immediately fell down, constantly rolling on the ground.
At this time, the torches that the fat man got out of nowhere were thrown out one by one and landed on those corpses, Li Chunfeng saw clearly that there was a long black thin wire connected to the joints of these corpses, and the other end of the thin wire was connected to a steel needle, which was inserted into the acupuncture points of the corpses' joints to control their movements.
The limbs of these corpses were suddenly controlled by black lines again, and they returned to their original positions, shook off the torches on their bodies, and quickly fled out of the courtyard.
Li Chunfeng didn't chase after him, in case he fell into the enemy's ambush, it would be troublesome.
When he returned to the house, the fat man and the old cow had not yet recovered from the fright, and were hugging each other by the fire and shivering.
It seems that these two guys are really scared, so Li Chunfeng no longer hides it, and the reason why those corpses can move? I talked about it again.
These corpses are neither living people, nor are they ghosts and zombies, how can there be such a mess in this world, but someone controls them. There is a kind of evil skill in this world, according to the mental method and mantra, the internal force is injected into a silk thread, and then connected by a special steel needle, pierced into the acupuncture points of each joint of the corpse, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the movement of the corpse.
During the day, Li Chunfeng felt that something was wrong when he checked those corpses, and after tonight's battle, he really responded to his speculation.
After listening to this explanation, the fat man and the old cow understood that it was not a ghost, and they were instantly relieved, only to find that the two of them were actually hugging each other, somewhat disgusting, and immediately let go of each other and sat down by the fire.
The fat man knew that he was a little ridiculous about today's events, so he had to force himself to explain a wave, only to hear him say without skin and face: "What, the reason why I am so scared today is to blame Lao Niu, if he wasn't afraid, I wouldn't have behaved like this." ”
This kid blamed himself for being cowardly, but of course Lao Niu didn't want to, so he kicked it over and scolded: "Fuck your uncle, I'll push everything on me, it's really fucking shameless." ”
The fat man knew that he was wrong, stood up and patted the soil on his body, came to the fire and immediately changed the topic, and said: "I said Xiaochunzi, we have no grievances with this group of people, why are we enemies?" ”
After all kinds of performances during the day, Li Chunfeng had already guessed a few points, but he was still not sure, so he had to shake his head and said, "I don't know, I should be able to see tomorrow." ”
Sure enough, there was an accident on the second day, hundreds of people in the town surrounded the courtyard where Li Chunfeng was, they took some flat hoes or something in their hands, and shouted that they had to catch Li Chunfeng and sacrifice to the river god.
Hearing the shouts outside, the three of them hid inside and didn't dare to go out, they didn't beat these people, but they couldn't make a move, these people were not those who were treacherous, so they couldn't make a move, the reason why these people would run over to make trouble was because they were bewitched by people with bad hearts, seeing that these people were about to break in, Li Chunfeng immediately had an idea, and said to the two partners beside him: "We'll be caught in a while, what tricks are the people behind them." ”
As soon as the people rushed in, they immediately caught Li Chunfeng and the three of them and tied them with ropes, fortunately, this group of people did not use their weapons, otherwise there would be a strong enemy, and they really had nothing to deal with.
On the way, Li Chunfeng and the three of them listened to the conversation of the people, and only then did they understand what happened.
This town is called Wufeng Town, because the exit of the village has been surrounded by fog for a long time, so few people know here, some time ago this town suddenly had a plague, every household died a lot of people, just when the people don't know how to be good, the town suddenly came to an old way, through fortune telling, the reason why there will be a plague in this town, is just to anger the river god in the town, if you want to calm the anger of the river god, you must sacrifice a pair of virgins every day, when the river god's maidservant, until the sacrifice of thirty pairs.
In order to prevent the plague from spreading in the town, the people here believed in the old nonsense, and sent a pair of virgins to the river every day, which has been dedicated for twenty days.
When Li Chunfeng and the three of them heard the news, they were both shocked and angry in their hearts, isn't this old way harmful, and more than 40 lives died like this? It's really incomprehensible.
And the old Taoist has a pill that can cure the plague in the town, he claimed that he asked the queen mother for something, and it took a lot of effort for the old way, so the price is naturally expensive, a ten taels of silver, many people in order to cure the disease, they did not hesitate to buy this medicine, and the condition really improved after eating, and those who had no money to buy medicine, they could only watch their families die in vain.
The reason why this group of people arrested Li Chunfeng and them was not because they were confused by the old way, saying that the three of them were disaster stars, and if they were not thrown into the river and drowned, the plague would spread again, and for the safety of the whole town, these people listened to the old way's nonsense again.
In this regard, Li Chunfeng couldn't cry or laugh, this group of people is really stupid and pitiful, this old way is obviously a lie, and the plague in the town may also be caused by him, he will definitely expose the true face of the old way and give the people justice.
When he came to a small river, the white-bearded old man had already set up a platform on the bank, and he was muttering with some mahogany swords, and at his feet lay two girls of thirteen or fourteen years old, their hands and feet were tied, their mouths were tied with a black cloth, and a large stone was tied under their feet.
When the old Taoist saw Li Chunfeng and the three of them being escorted here, he immediately ran to their side, and said with a jump: "Demons, they are three demons, Taishang Laojun is as anxious as an order, and he will definitely accept you today." ”
When Lao Dao saw that the hour had come, he immediately asked two big men to carry the two girls one by one to the boat on the shore, and when the boat sailed to the middle of the river, they were ready to throw them into the river.
