Chapter 24: The Dead Clothes
The lanterns shimmered scarlet in the darkness, swaying like fireflies in the cold wind, drifting strangely in all directions of the village.
I was taken aback by these weird red lanterns, and quickly said, "Second uncle, why are there so many lanterns in the village?" ”
The second uncle's attention was successfully diverted by me, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he also looked back at the big red lanterns floating in the sky, his eyes bulged, revealing a terrifying expression,
"The Soul Lamp shows the way...... It's not good, it seems that the person surnamed Wang is unwilling to be escaped by you, and is launching an evil magic to find our traces! ”
What?
I was frightened and curled up uncalmly, "Is it really possible to find us with these lanterns alone?" ”
The second uncle sighed, "You don't understand...... This is called the Soul Lamp, and most of the people in the village were killed by the surname Wang, and this old thing took away their soul and used it to make the Soul Lamp. ”
In every soul lamp, there is a villager's soul imprisoned.
"Once locked by these soul lights, our every move will be monitored by him."
Oh my God, there is such a strange magic in the world.
I was so frightened that my cheeks jumped, and I said calmly, "Okay...... With so many people dead in the village, how could someone surnamed Wang control so many unjust souls at once? ”
The second uncle pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "It seems that he didn't come alone, there may be a huge organization behind the surname Wang." ”
The second uncle's words made me stunned, and when I thought about it carefully, I felt that it made sense.
No matter how strong this Master Wang is, it is impossible to set up an evil array while controlling so many bats to harm people, and still collect the souls of all the villagers in such a short period of time.
What the second uncle said is reasonable, behind the surname Wang, there is definitely an organization that specializes in harming people.
Thinking of this, my heart is even more bitter.
What's more, this coffin maker surnamed Wang is so difficult to deal with, not to mention that he has found other helpers.
The second uncle's face was also gloomy to the extreme, and he said with a wry smile, "I underestimated the ability of these people, it seems that I can't wait for dawn, so pack up my things and follow me!" ”
He picked up his baggage again and led me to escape from a path to the west of the village.
There is more than one way to leave the village, except for the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, and we can also leave through the mass grave on the west side of the village.
However, the road is very remote, it is specially used to bury the dead, and after the old people in the village die of illness, most of them will be carried to the West Mountain to be buried, and there are graves everywhere, so no one usually passes by that road.
But now I can't take care of that much.
When we ran out of the house, we noticed that there were more and more lanterns floating in the sky, and all of them automatically gathered in the direction of my house.
The blood-red lanterns are like eyes hanging in the sky, constantly chasing us, and no matter which direction my second uncle and I run, there is no way to get rid of the chase of these lanterns.
The second uncle gritted his teeth, "Damn, there are too many soul lamps, and now the yin qi in the village is very heavy, and there are only two of us left, and it is easy for the unjust souls in the lanterns to sense the breath......"
Before he had finished speaking, I heard a large number of mournful ghost cries wafting from the sky, lingering in my ears with the yin wind.
"Woo...... Zhou Xuan, we died so miserably. ”
"Why do I die, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, I don't want to die......"
"Giggles, the master said, as long as you catch Zhou Xuan, you can give us back our freedom!"
The mournful ghost cries roared with the cold wind, and a miserable blue human face was reflected in each swaying blood-colored lantern.
My soul was frightened, and I was about to shout when I opened my mouth, but the second uncle covered my mouth with his hand, pulled me to continue running, and at the same time told in a deep voice,
"Don't shout, as soon as you open your mouth, you will vent your yang energy, and it will be easier for them to find us!"
I nodded blankly, like a puppet being dragged by my second uncle.
After running for several minutes, we finally arrived at the mass grave in Xicun, and looking at the large number of grave bags standing on the hillside, I felt a cold air seeping out of the soles of my feet, straight to the heavenly spirit cover.
The grave bags here have also been dug up, and there are bare coffins and scattered white bones everywhere.
I was so frightened that I changed my voice, "These gods, why don't you even let go of the old man in the grave!" ”
The second uncle said in a deep voice, "This is a kind of evil magic for raising ghosts, open the coffin of the deceased, use the evil magic to summon the dead of the dead, you can form a magic circle that gathers yin, and then cooperate with the evil array at the entrance and end of the village to turn the village into a gathering yin point, with the passage of time, the evil qi in the village continues to skyrocket, and when the evil qi gathers to a certain concentration, all the lonely souls and wild ghosts within a radius of ten miles will be attracted over." ”
My scalp was numb, "They made such a big battle just to deal with my mother?" ”
"Well, your mother's life is a bit special, it is a rare Yin Bone Dao body for a hundred years, even after death, it will become a particularly powerful ghost, not an ordinary warlock can deal with it, only this kind of extreme Yin Array can be suppressed."
The second uncle took a breath, turned his head indifferently, stared at the blood-colored lantern that was getting closer and closer to us, gritted his teeth and said,
"Now that the Hundred Ghosts Array has been formed, plus these souls summoned by evil magic, if you let the surnamed Wang get you, I'm afraid your mother will no longer have the power to resist."
He grabbed my shoulder hard, "Now that you have become the key to influencing the outcome of their fighting methods, no matter what, you must not fall into the hands of the surnamed king again." ”
"Hmm!"
I nodded heavily, even if it was just for my mother, I must escape, and I must not fall into the wrong hands again.
But while making up my mind, my doubts about the second uncle became deeper.
If I'm not mistaken, the second uncle returned to Zhoujiagou for less than three days, why did he know so many insiders?
Thinking of the words on that note, my heart became even more entangled.
The second uncle didn't notice the change in my face, and directly pulled out the black short knife, and thrust it into the nearby grave bag to dig up a tomb bag that had just been repaired.
I was shocked and asked the second uncle what he was doing?
The second uncle did not answer, but dug the grave with more force, dug up the coffin, revealing a body that had just died, and then made a move that made me even more puzzled.
I saw him directly pull out the shroud from the corpse, throw it at my feet, and say in an unquestionable tone, "Quickly put the shroud on your body!" ”
What?
My face turned white with fright, and I stammered, "Why do I wear dead man's clothes?" ”
"Do as I say first!"
The second uncle looked up and looked at the soul lamp that was getting closer and closer, and a large red light flickered in the night, illuminating the entire mass grave like a starry sky.
The soul lamp is getting closer and closer, and when the second uncle saw that I still refused to change into a dead life clothes, he simply jumped on the grave bag, picked up the life clothes and forcibly draped them on me.
"Be obedient, only in this way can you save your life!"
All right.
Although I didn't understand the second uncle's words, those lanterns that emitted a strange red light had slowly floated over, almost illuminating the entire mass grave.
The ghosts in the flickering lanterns were getting clearer and clearer, and I could even hear them grinding their teeth and grinning!
I didn't have time to hesitate, I gritted my teeth and directly followed the instructions of my second uncle and put the dead life clothes on myself.
