Chapter 984: Ghost Woman Identity
"Hahahahaha."
Under the light of the flashlight, this Bai Sen grimace laughed loudly, the voice was like a dumb cry, hoarse and noisy and unpleasant, just this glance, I could see that the hearts of the two people trembled several times, Yue Guanchao was afraid that this thing would fall again, and his eyes were quick and he protected Song Siyuan behind him.
"What the hell is this?"
Although Yue Guanchao was a little vigilant, he still wanted to know what this thing was, so he took the flashlight and continued to observe the grimace around the corner, and as the flashlight lit back and forth, the grimace's body gradually became clearer.
At a glance just now, they had already seen something terrifying, and now if they looked closely, the grimace was just a human skin mask, the support of this mask was close to paper, deliberately made a lot of wrinkles, slightly dark yellow and gray, the eyes were slender and flat, the nose was firm and towering, the mouth was thin and upturned, and the ears were sharp and attractive, and it looked like a human face that had been dead for several days.
The owner of the grimace was a rickety, tattered old woman, with a gray robe and gauze on her body, dragged to the top of her feet, and all kinds of patches after fading and taking off the threads, in addition to this, she was also covered with a blanket made of linen, and the hair on the top of her head was all gray and mottled, piled up on the back of her shoulders.
Realizing that Yue Guanchao not only did not run away, but also kept staring at them with a flashlight, this ghost-faced old woman began to climb on all fours on the beam, and the strange action of scratching her ears and cheeks looked like a wild monkey hanging on the beam, which was extremely strange to see.
"This thing, can't it be the savage of Shennongjia!"
Song Siyuan thought of the wild man that the Ghost Fang Sect said, and she could only guess like this in her heart.
Yue Guanchao shook his head and retorted: "No, that wild man is covered in hair, and this thing's hands look full of wrinkles, but there is no hair, it is estimated that he is pretending to be a ghost." ”
Before the words fell, the old ghost woman burst into a noisy laugh again, jumped up from the beam of the house, and pounced on Yue Guanchao with her teeth and claws.
He pushed Song Siyuan out of the door, picked up the dagger and dodged, cutting off the dead grass hair of this ghost woman.
She saw that her hair was broken, and there were a few rattling sounds in her throat, like a wild cat being angry, and she picked up her arms and pinched him, and her paws brushed to her neck.
He looked at the old ghost woman carefully, there was no trace of martial arts at all, these moves were completely Wang Ba's chaotic fists scratching, he wanted to take out the dagger to deal with it, for fear that she would be accidentally hacked to death, so he immediately collected the dagger and avoided the claws of the old ghost woman.
When the two of them dodged, Yue Guanchao gradually understood that the old ghost woman in front of him was not a ghost at all, and the breath exhaled was clearly a big living person, and it could only be said that the scene just now was that this ghost woman was estimated to be scary, so she made that kind of strange behavior like a portrait animal.
He understood this, and the old ghost woman who played three times and five by two turned around, and took advantage of her lack of strength, locked her hands and feet with a few moves, and tied her to the railing outside the hall.
"Humph! Hmph~"
On the railing, the old ghost woman was trapped and her hands and feet kept trembling, as if she wanted to break through the comfort of the rope, Yue Guanchao slapped her hand: "Old lady, don't move your wrist, I used a broken finger knot, and your thumb will be broken if you move it again." ”
With that, he picked up the sapper shovel and lifted the mask from her face from afar.
Under the mask, the real appearance of the old ghost woman made everyone see it clearly.
The face of this old ghost woman is not as scary as the mask, she looks like she is in her fifties, her snow-white skin is like a peeled egg, but as she grows older, it is inevitable that some fine lines will accumulate near the corners of her eyes and mouth, and her eyebrows and eyes are no different from ordinary women.
It's just that the mottled white hair is really amazing, even if a woman of this age is overworked, it shouldn't be this kind of hair, full of withered grass, as if she is an old woman who has run out of oil and withered lamps, and it is impossible to appear on him.
"The old lady has become an old lady."
Yue Guanchao squatted down and picked up the dagger: "From the moment we came in, I felt that someone was following us outside, have you been teasing us?" What exactly do you want to do? ”
The old lady gave him a blank look: "You broke into my house, and you have to ask me what I want to do!" ”
"Your home?"
Yue Guanchao narrowed his eyes: "You mean, the ghost world is your home?" Or is this palace your home, we thought you were a thief coming in from the outside world. ”
They had long known that this person had the aura of a ghost person, and Yue Guanchao just wanted to blow her up when he asked like this, maybe he could get more information.
"No comment!"
The old ghost woman's eyes were full of defensiveness against them, and she refused to reveal a trace of news: "What do you want to do when you come to my house?" ”
"Find a mausoleum, Liu Yu's tomb, a well-dressed mound in Beifu."
Yue Guanchao didn't say anything about the twelve ghost bones and fish pendants, lest the old ghost woman know their idea of beating the ghost artifact, and then come up with any crooked ideas.
The old ghost woman obviously knew about the clothes and mounds, and her eyes became playful, and she smiled jokingly: "Hahahaha, then you have to go for nothing." ”
"What? Isn't there Liu Yu's tomb here? ”
Song Siyuan looked at the old ghost woman, her expression clearly knew the inside story of the clothed mound.
"Untie me, I tell you." The old ghost woman glanced at her hand with a sly look.
"That's not going to work." Yue Guanchao clearly refused, squatted down and teased casually: "You old lady is too cunning, in case we untie you, it will be troublesome for you to escape again, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it, if you don't say it at night, we will tie you outside for a night, what you will encounter depends on your own luck." ”
"If you're lucky, you might be able to reunite with your people."
This was said extremely badly, and the old ghost woman was already angry, and her throat rolled and spit out: "Ahh ”
Yue Guanchao and Song Siyuan glanced at each other, this old ghost woman knew something, and he continued to lie to her: "You are really confused when you say that you are old, this ghost world has been deserted, and you can't even find a living person or living thing, what danger can there be?" Don't tell me you're in danger! ”
"Humph!"
The old ghost woman glanced at the corner of her eyes and looked Yue Guanchao up and down: "Look at your big and strong body, you really don't have a very smart brain, what kind of danger is my wife, what is really dangerous, what is really dangerous is those things that you can't see, that's the horror." ”
If there is really a drama, Yue Guanchao continued to ask: "Then, what danger are we facing, you let us die to understand." ”
After that, until the evening, no matter how much he asked, the old ghost woman did not say a word.
Seeing that the sky has darkened, they also have to think about how to hide, the village at the bottom of the valley is definitely impossible, according to the old ghost woman's words, this valley is estimated to have a lot of evil things, it is too dangerous to enter the village, in case they encounter any monsters again, it will be troublesome.
Even if you encounter monsters, the houses in these villages are already in disrepair, and they may collapse at any time, and any wind and grass may change the environment of the ruins.
Song Siyuan leaned on the railing and looked carefully into the canyon, the sun had already set on the peaks, killing a rich golden red, the valley was even more gray and black, in the shade had entered the dusk in advance, after the sunset heat disappeared, the wind blowing from the valley was a lot colder, and there was a kind of cold in the mountain grottoes.
She looked at everyone and said: "I think, it is safer to stay in the hanging hall, this is not the bottom of the valley, hanging high on the waist of the Xuanshan wall, much safer than on the flat ground, the building is mostly fixed by the stone wall, and it is stronger than the houses in the ruins, as long as the door of the hall is closed, it should be able to resist the wind and cold and humidity, and there can also be a safe environment to repair." ”
After that, everyone has gathered towards this hanging hall one after another, and the space here is wide enough, and there are no puppets from the evil sect, which is the most suitable for resting.
Before closing the door, the old ghost woman seemed to be afraid that they would leave her behind, and kept pushing and pulling the railing, Yue Guanchao understood, separated her from the fence, and walked into the hall with her arms tied.
When they brought water from the river near the bottom of the valley, it was not early, and they made a fire to cook and make a bonfire, and roasted the dried meat they had brought with them.
While everyone was eating and drinking, the old ghost woman stared at the meatloaf on their stove, swallowing her saliva, probably not eating meat for a long time.
Yue Guanchao whimpered while eating the meatloaf and said, "Old lady, didn't you say that this ghost world is your home?" You haven't even eaten meat a few times. ”
The old ghost woman sat down helplessly by the pillar and said, "There are no living creatures here except me, even livestock and wild beasts, where can I find meat to eat?" ”
"So how did you get to where you are now? Just by eating those rootless dew? ”
When Yue Guanchao approached the rope that tied her, he had already found that her clothes were stained with a lot of rootless dew, it seemed that she was the one who stood on the cliff last night, if there was nothing to eat in the valley, then she could live for so long, she must have found other food that could live.
The old ghost woman shook her head and retorted: "Rootless dew, just so that I don't die of lack of water, I eat wild fruits and wild vegetables the most, and even wild wheat." ”
Yue Guanchao exhaled: "Then you are really miserable, why don't you leave?" ”
A trace of regret flashed in the old ghost woman's eyes: "Can't do without, the ghost people can't leave this world at all, do you think the old woman and I are really willing to live a hard life here?" That's because I'm dead, I've tried a lot of ways before, and I can't get out of this world at all. ”
"I raised a lot of wild fireflies, they have found a lot of roads for me, each road can not get out of here, I can only accept fate, originally, I thought that the old woman I would be lonely for a lifetime, but I didn't expect it...... Hahahaha! ”
"What are you laughing at?"
Yue Guanchao became curious.
The old ghost woman glanced at them meaningfully: "I didn't expect that there is someone to accompany me, and you are destined to be unable to escape the curse of the Heavenly Pupil God when you enter this ghost world." ”
