Volume 1 The Strange Man Appears Chapter 18 Eighteen Yamas

"Corpse!"

As soon as these two words came out, they hovered around everyone like a gust of wind.

"You mean those corpses will come back to life?" Shangguan Yan said, glaring at him and covering his lips.

She had just heard that this miracle doctor was going to expose the corpse to decay, and she was already frightened when she heard that the corpse was only a horror that appeared in legends, and she felt that her heart was about to jump out.

"Yan'er, don't be rude. ”

Shangguan Wuxian signaled his daughter not to panic, and said to hang his life.

"Why did the divine doctor say that?"

It must be known that the things of the netherworld are the most treacherous and difficult to distinguish, and they can't tell the slightest bit of truth from falsehood.

"The lord of the city has seen the death of those two. Hang Yisheng picked up the bowl on the table, took a sip of tea, and said slowly.

The two men looked as usual, and there were no injuries on their bodies, so it can be said that there was no cause of death. ”

Shangguan listened without a trace, and frowned for a moment.

"Mr. is known as the 'Yin Judgment' in the rivers and lakes, can't even you find out why these two people died?"

Tuoba Ningyuan saw Shangguan's appearance without a trace, and knew that what he said was the truth, but he died violently because he was not dead, and this matter was too bizarre.

Hang Yisheng sighed and said.

"Even if it is a yin judgment, how can it be an enemy of Yama. ”

"Yama?" Shangguan asked without a trace, "What does the divine doctor mean?"

"I don't know if the lord of the mansion can know the eighteen Yama Palace. Hanging Yisheng's expression was solemn at the moment, as if he was reciting some forbidden name.

"Eighteen Yamas?" Shangguan Wuxi's expression on his face also became gloomy, "Eighteen Yamas, Huangquan has no life, the living are not to go, and the underworld is sent off." ”

Tuoba Ningyuan listened to the four short poems read by Shangguan without a trace, lifeless, very cold, and when he was curious, his hand suddenly felt a little slippery, and he turned his head to see that his fingers had been held by Shangguan Yan.

It turned out that Shangguan Yan was already afraid of ghosts, and the two people who were talking to her couldn't do without the word Netherworld, which made her even more creepy, so she subconsciously held Tuoba Ningyuan's hand. Seeing him notice it at this moment, under the four eyes facing each other, Shangguan Yan withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"Exactly. Hanging Yisheng nodded, "There are ten halls of Yama in the underworld, but there are eighteen Yamas in the human world. ”

"It's just ......" Shangguan Wuxian shook his head, "These eighteen people are far away in the wilderness, how can they reach the northern region." ”

But apart from these eighteen Yamas, the old man really didn't think about it. He sighed.

"Doctor senior?"

At this time, Tuoba Ningyuan suddenly stood up. "May I ask what you mean by exposing your corpse to the sun?"

Hanging for a moment, he saw that although Tuoba Ningyuan was in rags at the moment, he was handsome and extraordinary, so he asked.

"Little brother, who are you?"

"His name is Gu Weiming. Shangguan Yan hurriedly replied at this time, "He saved me." ”

"Ahem. ”

On the side, Shangguan saw his daughter answering for a strange man, so he coughed unhappily, and Shangguan Yan hurriedly retreated to Du Quanquan when he saw this, and didn't dare to say any more.

"The little brother is a talent, and he has such a chivalrous heart at a young age, and he must be a pillar in the future. Hanging Yisheng looked at Tuoba Ningyuan and exclaimed.

"The seniors praised it. Tuoba Ningyuan replied, "The kid is new to the rivers and lakes, and his knowledge is scarce, I don't know the intention of the seniors, and I hope the seniors will tell me." ”

Seeing that Tuoba Ning Yuan was so polite, he couldn't help but nod his head.

"Less chivalrous and more polite. Hang Yisheng said, and then took a sip of tea. "I wonder if you would be interested in listening to the old man tell a story. ”

"I want to hear about it. Shangguan said without a trace.

"To tell you the truth, the reason why I attributed the cause of death of these two people to the eighteen Yamas is that the old man had seen their methods twenty years ago. Hang a life said.

"Twenty years ago?" Shangguan said without a trace, "at that time, there was no war in the Northern and Southern Regions. ”

"Exactly. "At that time, just a few years after the end of the Demon Sect Rebellion, there were heavy casualties among the people in the righteous path of the rivers and lakes, so I went to the territory alone to look for the miracle medicine, but I didn't find the medicine, but I encountered something that is still unforgettable. ”

After hanging his life, he took another sip of tea, he seemed to be very thirsty today, and as soon as he put down the teacup after drinking, someone added new tea to him.

"I was about to return to the North, and I saw a village ahead of me, and I wanted to go and rest for a while. "But when I approached, I found that there was no one in the village. ”

"Is there anyone in the village?" Shangguan Yan asked, "Could it be that there is a plague?"

At that time, the old man thought the same. "After all, it is normal for a plague to break out in the wilderness, lack of medical treatment, and plagues, so I took a miasma avoidance pill and wanted to enter to investigate and see if there were any survivors inside, but when I walked in, I only saw eighteen coffins." ”

Although twenty years have passed, Hang Yisheng's tone is still a little palpitating when he talks about this past.

"The coffin seems to be very large, very thick, at least twice as large as the usual size, and it just happens to be a dark character when put together. "At that time, I knew that this was not a plague, but the work of the Eighteen Yama Palaces. ”

"Could it be that they can't kill everyone?" Shangguan Yan said in a frightened voice.

"Nope. Hanging Yisheng shook his head, but before Shangguan Yan could breathe a sigh of relief, he said an even more terrifying fact, "It's not just people, the eighteen Yamas act, and the chickens and dogs are not left." ”

If you want to kill, you will kill it completely, and at this moment, even Tuoba Ningyuan was shocked by the ruthlessness of this organization.

"Eighteen fierce and bloody array to sacrifice souls is one of their methods. Hang Yisheng continued.

"I really should have run away, no matter what I did, I shouldn't have stayed there anymore, but at that moment a crazy thought flashed through my mind, and it actually made me open the coffin and see how those people died. ”

With that, he sat down in his chair and slowly sipped the cup of freshly brewed tea.

"Although the Eighteen Yamas are famous, they are extremely mysterious, no one knows where they came from, no one knows their martial arts, just because the people who have explored them are no longer in this world. "But sometimes the doctor's curiosity can't even be controlled, and the more he can't see something, the more he wants to see it." ”

"So you brought that coffin?" Shangguan Yan asked.

"Hmm. Hang Yisheng nodded and said, "The eighteen coffins, each of which is ten corpses, men, women, and children, are all among them. ”

Eighteen coffins, ten each, is one hundred and eighty corpses, what a terrible number.

"One hundred and eighty corpses?" Shangguan Wuxian suddenly spoke, "Is their death the same as these two people today?"

"Hmm. Hanging Yisheng nodded and smiled miserably, "There are no external injuries, no internal trauma, and no poisoning, and even the faces are peaceful, and some are still smiling." ”

"This ......" Shangguan Wuxian frowned, "is there really such a strange thing in the world?"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed it. ”

Hanging Yisheng sighed, his eyes looking at the two corpses outside the door.

Outside the door, the men were still standing guard in the shade by the roadside, and one of them glanced here from time to time to see when the hanging life would come out, and they could go to rest, for the sun was already setting in the west, and it was dark before they came.

"But what is the matter of the deception of the corpse that the divine doctor said?" Shangguan Wuxian then asked. "Could it be that the dead can really be resurrected?"

"That's what happened next. Hang a life said. "By the time I had finished examining the last body, it was already dark, and I couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to leave. ”

Halfway through speaking, he paused deliberately, "Unexpectedly, at this time, the bright moon in the sky was covered by a dark cloud, and it was pitch black all around, and I didn't bring a fire candle, so it was no different from a blind man." ”

It seemed that he felt the fear of that time again, and the tone of his voice began to gradually increase.

"I was terrified, but I couldn't move my legs, and something had grabbed my legs. "Then I heard a sound, a sound of fingernails scratching the coffin, at first only staccato or two, which I thought I had misheard, but then it grew louder and louder, until it filled my ears. ”

"Could it be those corpses?" Shangguan Yan almost exclaimed.

"I don't know. "I don't know how long I stood like that, and I didn't regain consciousness until sunrise in the sky." ”

After hanging his life, he took the bowl, but because he was too nervous, he took the one that Shangguan did not have a trace.

"I'm sorry. Hang Yisheng smiled awkwardly at Shangguan Wuxi, "It makes you laugh." ”

"It doesn't matter. Seeing this, Shangguan waved his hand and said, "Divine doctor, please calm down." ”

"Good. "When I saw the bodies again, I found that they were all back in the eighteen coffins, with only one hand still on my lap and a dead man's hand. ”

"Could it be that the corpse crawled back on its own?" Shangguan Yan only felt a churning in her stomach, and her curiosity today also made her pay the price, "Now that it's almost dark today, will those two people outside also 'live' like this." ”

"Don't panic, young lady, you can't come to such a conclusion yet. Du Quan also said at this time, "It is not impossible for the divine doctor to say that he has five sensory systems, but he is being pointed at by someone and deliberately pretending to be a ghost." ”

Listening to what Du Quan said, he was not angry, but nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's fine, I exposed those two corpses to the sun, just in case, the sunlight is the most yang qi in the world, or I can crack the inexplicable evil law." ”

He looked outside the door and felt that the time was near, so he said to the crowd again, "It's almost time, I'll go and see if the two bodies have changed." ”

"I went with the doctor. Shangguan said without a trace, turned his head and said to Shangguan Yan and Du Quan.

"Mr. Du, please send Yan'er back to your room first, I'll be bothering you for the past few days. ”

"Don't worry, sir. Du Quan bowed to Shangguan without a trace and said.

"Gu Shaoxia, thank you for sending the little girl back, I will wait for this later, I will set up a banquet. Shangguan said to Tuoba Ningyuan without a trace.

Seeing this, Tuoba Ningyuan frowned slightly, he originally wanted to be curious to see what the mystery of the corpse was, but after all, this was a family affair in the Northern Regions Mansion, and he was not too involved in it, so he had to say.

"Thank you, Lord of the House. Tuoba Ning Yuan clenched his fists and said, "This is what the branch should do." ”

"The young man is still injured, and he is tired of traveling all the way, so let's rest first. Du Quan also said on the side at this time, "I'll go and prepare an upper room for Shaoxia." ”

"That's going to trouble Mr. Du. Shangguan saw that Du Quan had been arranged, so he nodded and walked out of the inner room with Hang Yisheng.
