Chapter 287: Hope Disappointed
The moment the sound of the brass bell rang, it was followed by a long list of obscure, strange-sounding Oriental spells.
"Baga!"
A curse followed, and we all knew the identity of the man.
Everyone shone all the light of the flashlight towards the end of the cave, and then they could clearly see that several dry corpses covered in wood were walking in front, followed by several wet corpses soaked in water.
A Chinese character wearing a black robe and about 1.7 meters tall waved the bell in his hand, which should be driving those zombies to attack us.
Not to mention the helper who is about to arrive not far away, even this middle-aged zombie next to us is already overwhelming us.
Faced with so many murderous things at once, many people are a little scrambling, and they can withstand it at first, but after a long time, there will naturally be various loopholes in the middle of the cooperation, which will lead to our people stepping into the upper hand.
"Shhh
The middle-aged zombie suddenly became frantic at this time, like a hungry wolf that smelled the smell of flesh and blood, and I don't know if it was the black-robed man secretly manipulating, in short, in less than a few seconds of the incident, the frequency of attacks became much higher.
The middle-aged zombie felt as if it was an extraordinarily agile one, and the speed of the shot was extremely fast, and he fought against the four masters again and again, and he couldn't resist it after a few moves. That Red Lotus Dharma Sect's Lianwai Dan disciple was not an opponent of a middle-aged zombie, and after being slammed, there was no room to fight back at all, so he could only be forced to be beaten and defended.
The current situation is already in danger, and if we can't think of a solution to it, I'm afraid that in a minute, all of us will be buried in this cave.
At the critical moment, Chen Guangge spoke urgently: "Lao Liu, have you finished copying the scriptures in the coffin?" How much longer? How many words are in it? ”
Unexpectedly, the four masters gritted their teeth tightly at this time, holding the pen, and their faces were anxious like ants on a hot pot, sweating profusely, and they didn't speak.
"Alas, Liu Laosi, tell me quickly, how many words are there in the coffin? How long will it take to finish copying? If we can't finish copying, can we carry the coffin away? ”
I was so shocked that I almost slapped the root of my thigh, this idea is really good, we can't finish copying the above scriptures for the time being, but just take the coffin away, can't it?
But to the surprise of all of us, the fourth master actually put away the pen and paper at this time, jumped out of the coffin at once, and said: "We have been tricked, all of us have been deceived, the construction scriptures outside the coffin are indeed true, but the inside has been tampered with, only half of what I copied into my hand, and the other half is simply meaningless, messy and patched together." ”
These two sentences of the four masters appeared in the ears of all of us like a thunderbolt from the sky, and I was stunned on the spot, what? Did we wait for a long time and only get half of the fake spell scriptures?
So what's the point? Anyone who is well-versed in magic knows that there is such a thing as a spell verse that is not like a poem or an article, it is an integral part of a ritual. Also the most important part, which must not be skipped.
For example, let's say let's do the master's magic, and after you open the altar, you don't sing and dance, you just dissolve the filthy mother and send the talisman, and then start the magic. This is absolutely impossible, which is equivalent to saying that the half of the scriptures that the four masters have copied now, as long as they can't find the second half, it is almost useless.
Almost all of us began to curse the evil Orientals in our hearts. Now, all of us can only rush to the front, and we have to watch out for reinforcements from the corpse chasers of the Oriental Kingdom who are about to arrive behind us.
Liu Ruxiang grabbed my hand tightly and pushed me towards the middle of the line, while the four masters slowed down and stayed at the back of the line to prevent the corpse chasers from the Oriental Kingdom from catching up with the zombie army.
All of us are desperate to run forward. It's very different from when we first went up the mountain. Originally, we expected such a big wave of people, and some people were quite capable of going back and forth, and one person made a good move, which was enough to kill the Oriental corpse chasers in the cave.
Who would have thought that this corpse chaser from the Oriental Kingdom would stand in the cave for so long and develop, turning all the ancestral corpses of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town in the cave into sharp blades in his hands, and it would be difficult to deal with at this time.
However, no matter how we ran, the sound of the brass bell behind us stuck to us like a soul-chasing. The bell kept ringing, and the zombie's footsteps were also very loud, and they splashed in the puddle.
We ran like this for several minutes, our legs were about to break, and we even felt like a boiling kettle in our chests, steaming so hard that it was almost hard to hold on any longer.
The sound of the bell behind him stopped for a moment, and then a local Lingnan accent appeared: "The last time you came in, I didn't kill you." This time you're in again, so you're all left behind! ”
When someone in our team heard this, they couldn't help but be angry, and then they spat out their phlegm and scolded angrily: "You damned thieves, you actually help the people of the Eastern Kingdom!" It's scum! ”
Even a child of mine couldn't believe why such a person could exist.
But no matter how we attacked and scolded, the man didn't listen to it at all, but instead beat him to death and shouted: "What do you sluts know, it is the honor of our lives to be able to serve the Purple Mountain family of the Oriental Kingdom." Stand still, or wait for my puppets to capture you, and you will only end up dying. ”
The black-robed man spoke in a sworn tone, and then turned his head and shone a flashlight on it, and found that many of those zombies were following us closely.
I don't doubt the authenticity of what he said at all, this kind of person has completely collapsed into the evil path himself, his own three views have completely collapsed, and he has become a lackey who lives dependent on others, and the more this kind of person, the more cruel he will be to his own people.
I can't imagine what he's going to do when he catches us.
Maybe let the zombies bite us to death, and then bring our corpses back, and use their secret method to make what he calls a so-called puppet for him to continue driving.
But fortunately, at this time, there was a sudden turnaround. Who would have thought that the fortune teller pinched his fingers, pointed to the front and said, "Ahead, there is a way to escape!" ”
None of us expected that this fortune teller would play a big role at a critical moment. Now I suddenly felt that it was not a loss at all to take the risk to save him from the current.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Master Chen Guangge also turned his head to look at the fortune teller, and asked, "Sir, what is the way you said to escape and ascend to heaven?" Please also indicate immediately. ”
"Run further!" The fortune teller gritted his teeth, made a sprint under his feet, kept crossing the stones, kept stepping on puddles, and finally stopped in the middle of a road similar to a three-way intersection, turned his head to look at Chen Yulin, and said: "Do you know where the grave of the first generation of ancestors of your Chen family is buried?" Where is it located? ”
Chen Yulin's eyes were a little stunned for a while, and then he shook his head: "I don't know." ”
The fortune teller pinched his fingers, then pointed to the passage on the left, and said, "Let's go, let's go here." ”
It can be regarded as out of trust in the fortune teller, we didn't even think about it, and rushed in with him without saying a word.
The road here is particularly strange, we walked forward for less than a few tens of meters, and suddenly we encountered a dead end, and the road ahead completely disappeared.
All of us stopped and looked at the fortune teller in a panic: "What's going on?" Didn't you say you could get away with it? ”
At this time, Mr. Fortune Teller turned his head to look at Chen Yulin: "Mr. Chen, this is the ancestral tomb of your family, and here is the first generation of the ancestor and old lady of your Chen family in Shuanghu Town." If you think about it, maybe you haven't been here before, and I dare to conclude that the Oriental people behind you definitely don't have the strength and means to open this door. If only you could open the door of this tomb now, so that we could go in and take refuge, then we could breathe a sigh of relief. Naturally, there is a way to come out and clean them up. ”
When the fortune teller said this, he looked calm and relaxed, as if he had seen through Chen Yulin and thought that he was absolutely capable of opening this door.
But the reality is very annoying, Chen Yulin panicked at this time, and shook his head directly: "No, I remember that the older generation of our family never told me how the door of this old ancestor's cemetery was opened." ”
Because this is indeed the case, the knowledge and technology of the older generation are passed on by word of mouth, just like the masters of the Zhuang family in ancient times, there is no text, and word of mouth is the most stable and safest way.
But this can also create a contingency situation, in this process of word of mouth, once the previous person has not finished speaking to the next person, that is, the master has not yet passed on to the apprentice. At that time, if there is an accident and the master dies first, then this process of transmission will be cut off all at once.
And the previous generation of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town, the previous generation of family members died unexpectedly, so naturally there is nothing to explain.
Originally, all of our hopes were pinned on Mr. Fortune Teller, but now, it fell on Chen Yulin all of a sudden, but Chen Yulin said that he didn't know about it, and our expectations were disappointed again and again.
Many people seem to have lost faith, and a mood called panic haunts all of us.
