Creation of Animals in the Extermination of Corpses and Ghosts in Xiangxi

Tang Fang's common sense told him, common sense told Tang Fang, usually where it says 'Trespasser dies', it should be the entrance of the cave.

Tang Fang tapped lightly on the bark, and a crisp sound pierced through. Tang Fang smiled in his heart. Sure enough, there was nothing wrong, the tree was hollow.

The tree is afraid of peeling, but not afraid of being hollow, so even if it is hollow inside, it will not die very quickly, and if the inside is used well, it can indeed be used as a nest, not to mention such a big towering tree, even if it is inside It is not surprising that there are thousands of people living here.

Tang Fang peeled off the bark carefully, and soon there was something like an ant hole inside. Tang Fang was afraid of disturbing the people inside, so he carefully peeled off the bark bit by bit, and soon one by one. The small hole where the human body entered appeared. Tang Fang wiped the inside with his fingers, and then licked it with his mouth. There was no smell of mud.

It should be that no one has entered from here for a long time.

Tang Fang thought that this place is dark and humid, if someone enters frequently, it is impossible not to leave a trace of soil, the more clean it is, the more it means that no one has been here for a long time.

These cave girls are passed down from generation to generation, and many cave girls can't live for more than three years. Therefore, it may be that the cave girls of a certain generation opened the hole below in order to save trouble. The cave girl died suddenly, and the news was not passed on to the next generation of the cave girl in time, so this entrance was permanently forgotten.Wrapped with vines and disappeared into history.

Tang Fang couldn't help but feel refreshed. If it really happened as he expected, then the cave girls inside wouldn't know the existence of this passage. If he entered through this passage, no one would find him.

It's just that Tang Fang at this time has begun to become hesitant - should he go in or not...

If that person just now was really Zi Lingding, how should I face her when her identity is revealed?

Kill, or, destroy that piece of Dead Marsh?

If this is the only way to save Zi Lingding's life, how can I bear to watch Zi Lingding die like this, after all, many of Zi Lingding's injuries are due to me!

Tang Fang let out a long sigh, and carefully entered the cave entrance with complicated emotions. There was indeed a wooden ladder inside, but it was in disrepair. He walked even more slowly, not even daring to make a sound with every step. It can be imagined that it took Tang Fangfei a full half an hour when he was on the tree. This tree ladder was originally built around trees, and went down layer by layer. After a few efforts, Tang Fangfang was a little dizzy, but he still held back his patience. Tang Fang is such an impatient person, he can do this, really It can be regarded as an unprecedented first time.

I don't know how long it took, but finally it seemed that at the end of the stairs, a huge log blocked Tang Fang's way. Tang gently lifted the huge log, and Tang Fang couldn't help being stunned: three or four meters below, he looked up. Wangwang is a huge and incomparably large hall, which is naturally composed of tree cores. Nearby, countless small rooms have been opened up according to the trend of the trees. Looking at the mountain, it looks like a beehive. Tang Fang looked secretly, if this The big tree in the sky shows the ingenuity of the heaven and the earth, and the wonder in the tree hole shows the ingenuity of the owner here. Even in every not far away, there is this sunlight coming in, every time A room is almost all formed naturally, without any traces of chiseling. The wooden tables and chairs inside are all made from local materials. They are simple but full of atmosphere, and there is also a hint of aura. The whole place looks very clean and spotless. Obviously, every day Someone is cleaning it.

But all of this is not worth mentioning to Tang Fang who has seen big scenes and experienced countless strange events in the past. The reason why he has such a big reflex is because he saw what he shouldn't see thing.

gold.

Countless gold is almost everywhere, just like worthless stones, randomly discarded on the ground, on the branches of trees, and on wooden benches. The dazzling golden light made Tang Fang almost unable to open his eyes. There are countless pieces of Miao silver, jadeite, and many, many things that Tang Fang can't name, but they are very precious at a glance, but just like this, they are abandoned by the owner here like a shoe.

Tang Fang couldn't help but smile wryly.

He probably guessed the origin of these yellow and white things.

The cave god is the biggest belief of the Miao people here. Of course, they have to dedicate their most precious things to the cave god. Over the years and thousands of years of accumulation, it is conceivable that there are so many gold and silver treasures here. The master is a woman who can't leave the cave for half a step. Looking at the countless gold, silver and jewels, she can't exchange for the bun she wants to eat the most. Probably only they know the pain.

No wonder these cave girls like to cry all day long, that's how it is!

Tang Fang smiled wryly and thought: "If it were me, I would probably cry even harder."

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Tang Fang became alert immediately, and carefully put the wooden board back in place. This place is three or four meters away from the ground, and most people would not cast their eyes three or four meters above themselves, and, No one here will know that there is such an entrance in this cave.

Tang Fang left a gap for him to peep, and soon the woman in purple appeared in the hall. Tang Fang recognized that the woman's clothes were exactly the same as Zi Lingding's, and even her face was purple like a fake. Lingding, it's just that the way she walks lacks the elegance of Zi Lingding, which is what Tang Fang is most suspicious of.

Tang Fang remained silent, quietly waiting for the woman's every move.

The person walked up to the wooden table, and swept away a pool of gold on it, revealing a small blue package inside. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she opened it, and inside was the most common meat dumplings in Xiangxi. The woman salivated immediately, and she didn't even bother to wrap the rice dumpling leaves, and started to eat them in her hand. Seeing the woman devouring the food, Tang Fang suddenly felt relieved.

On the day Tang Fang and Zi Lingding first met, Zi Lingding's extremely elegant eating style left an extremely deep impression on Tang Fang. Tang Fang knew that the real Zi Lingding would always keep it. Looking at her unique and elegant way of eating, it is absolutely impossible to make such a wolfish action, even if she is so hungry that she has only the last bit of energy left.

The appearance can be the same, the clothes can be the same, and even everything can be imitated, but this innate and acquired noble temperament will never be imitated by others.

This woman in purple must be a fake Zi Lingding!

However, why did this person appear here, why did she look exactly like Zi Lingding, and what happened to Zi Lingding in the past few days after she entered the cave?

The woman finished eating all the meat dumplings on the wooden table, and licked her fingers unsatisfied, saying: "This little boy Duanmu is quite filial, he eats those disgusting insects every day, and he hasn't eaten for a long time." It’s such a delicious food, but I don’t know that this kid will be able to mix these private goods with the cave girl this time, and I don’t know when it will be next time. Sigh..."

"We have to wait another three years." The girl in purple sighed and said, "Girl, are you really going to accept your fate? Those who are sent here are all poor people. I have been here for almost 150 years. Come in There are those who cry and go back, those who are crazy, those who are hysterical, and those who think of every way to escape from my hands, there are also, and some simply accept their fate from the beginning and let me manipulate them, but very few You have persisted in this way for so long, but you are still able to keep silent, not saying a word from the beginning to the end. You must know that our so-called cave girls are just nice to hear, and coming here is equivalent to a death sentence. Impossible to go out, die early and be reborn early, begging to find a good family in the next life, don't be thrown into the cave again."

The woman sighed, and said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with dying. It is better than suffering endless loneliness and loneliness here. If I were you, I would admit it. This is fate, and there is no one to blame."

A voice said coldly: "Since death is so good, why don't you die, but stay alone for 150 years."

As soon as this person opened his mouth, Tang Fang was shocked. Why couldn't he hear that this was the real Zi Lingding's voice, but where is Zi Lingding?

Tang Fang concentrated his eyes and looked towards the place where the sound came from, but he still only saw the tree wall, not Zi Lingding.

"I don't want to die, because I still have hope, hope to get out, but you are different, you have no hope, and you don't want to die, it's stupid, do you understand?"

Zi Lingding sneered and said: "Your hope is to keep using the cave girls you have sent in, slowly occupying their bodies, and then stop the possibility of becoming wooden?"

Tang Fang finally found the source of the sound - the source of the sound turned out to be a piece of wood in the hall. After Tang Fang took a closer look, the shape and appearance of this piece of wood were indeed very similar to Zi Lingding's figure, even the outline of the face It was completely carved according to Zi Lingding's appearance, and Zi Lingding actually...

Zi Lingding turned into a piece of wood!

Tang Fang's heart was shaken as if the sky had collapsed. What secrets were there in this cave?

What the hell is going on with this place...

The woman looked at the ground and sighed, "That's right, look at the wooden tables and chairs all over the floor, every table and every stool is a cave girl who used to be elected every three years. Ordinary cave girls can't last three years at all, and will assimilate with this big tree in the sky in endless loneliness and become a part of it, which can be regarded as truly and completely handing over to the cave god, but I survived For thousands of years, I was the only cave girl who resisted loneliness and woodenness, and survived, little girl, I know, you are not half a Miao girl, you are a Han, and you are even the most powerful among the Han A disciple of a sect, but, likewise, as long as a woman has entered the human world, it is impossible not to miss the temptation of the human world and homesick all day long. The reason why I can support it is because I have never been to the human world at all, and I have nothing to love in my life. "

"Is it true that only those who have nothing to love can live longer?" Zi Lingding murmured, and the woman smiled: "You can't let it go at all, you already have someone you like, right? I'm here I have stayed there for many years, and I have seen many of the cave girls who have been sent in, and I can tell which ones have affection in their eyes."

Zi Lingding snorted coldly and said, "I want you to take care of it."

The cave girl laughed and said: "Sentient people are even more unbearable to be lonely. Instead of suffering from the pain of lovesickness all day long, it is better to be reborn early. Although I don't understand the pain of love, but I have seen it. The shorter the woodification time, it is a wonderful phenomenon here, if you don’t believe me, you can try it.”

Zi Lingding snorted coldly, noncommittal.Dongnu continued: "I admit that although I can imitate your appearance, if you don't willingly hand over your soul to me, I will only have your shape but not your spirit. , will still grow old and die soon-after all, I am almost 170 years old, but I can give you one hope, that is, if I can go out and walk through that damned miasma forest, I promise you, I will take you Take it out and hand it into the hands of your beloved. This is a promise I can give you, but I also know that if it comes true, I don’t know when it will be, but it’s always good to have a glimmer of hope, and it’s better than you This kind of ignorance will turn into wood and become strong."

Zi Lingding was silent, and after a long time, she suddenly said: "Who taught you this evil skill."

Dongnu smiled and said: "This has nothing to do with you, you just need to answer whether you want to or not - you have already turned half of your body into wood, and you look even better than I imagined. Presumably, you have a favorite girl." The man I love very much, don’t worry, I will take you out, hand you over to him, and tell her that this piece of wood in my hand is what you used to be, but I don’t know if that man will cherish it.”

Zi Lingding continued to remain silent, and after a long time said: "If I don't get hurt, this falling hole can't stop me."

The cave girl smiled and said: "I know you may be very powerful, but do you know that as long as a woman enters the cave, she is the wife of the cave god, and no one can get out, even dead."

Dongnu continued: "This is the end of the matter, you have no choice, but I have given you a glimmer of hope. Do you know how precious hope is? I have struggled here for more than 100 years for this glimmer of hope. And you, as long as you give your soul to me, you can also get a glimmer of hope, how to calculate this account, you are a smart person, I don’t need to explain it.”

The two stopped talking, and the atmosphere fell into a strange silence. Tang Fang looked at the two quietly, and adjusted his breathing. As long as the cave girl made any move towards Zi Lingding, he would strike at any time to kill this child-sucking child. Damn woman, kill with one blow.

Zi Lingding said slowly: "I want to understand clearly, I have a few questions, can I ask?"

The cave girl smiled and said, "Yes, as long as I know, I will tell you everything."

Zi Lingding said: "The first question, who are you?"

"I said that, just like you, I am a miserable person, a poor cave girl who was caught in the cave, but I met a strange person here, and he taught me to keep talking to the cave girl who came in. Swap your body to extend your life, so I just live longer than you."

Zi Lingding continued: "The second question is, does the cave god really exist?"

The cave girl thought for a while, then nodded, "That's right, the cave god really exists, and it's here." Now, even Tang Fang felt a little strange. He always thought that the cave god was just a Miao man here. It's just a spiritual totem that came out. I didn't expect that the cave girl who had lived in this cave for a hundred years really believed in his existence.

Zi Lingding took a long breath, and said slowly: "The third question... the cave god, is it from the corpse ghost village?"

As soon as the word Shigui Village came out, the entire face of the cave girl changed immediately, she shook her head nervously and said, "I don't know, I don't know, I really don't know about this, anyway, don't mention Shigui Village." I don’t know anything about these three words. Don’t mention them..." Dong Nu’s expression was a little dazed, and there was even panic in her eyes, as if the word “Ghost Village” was an untouchable taboo for her.

Zi Lingding said: "As expected, I guessed right, you——are from the corpse ghost village? Right?"

"Ah!!" The cave girl suddenly covered her ears, and said loudly: "Don't say it, don't say it, I don't know any ghoul village, and I don't know what's in the ghoul village. In short, don't say it !!"

Zi Lingding spoke faster, and said: "It is rumored that once the people of the four veins reach the age, they will automatically enter the cave and practice the way of heaven. It is rumored that if these seniors can break the way of heaven and man here If you do this, you can fly up in the daytime and enter the ghoul village! So... Actually, the falling hole is a passage connecting with the ghoul village. There is nothing you can do about it. You think you can pass through here and enter the mortal world, but the miasma forest outside has disrupted your wishful thinking. You can only use this evil art learned from the ghost village to collude with you. The people outside seduce them with the secrets of the ghoul village, create the so-called legend of the cave gods, and let the Miaojiang boss continuously send underage girls and children into the cave. You are using this kind of sorcery , the idea of ​​getting into the cave girls here, using both kindness and strength, defrauding their bodies, can continue their lives in the human world, am I right?"

"So, you are not a cave girl at all! You are a cave god!"

The cave girl let go of her hand slowly, then stared at Zi Lingding closely, and said: "You are really smart, smarter than all the girls I met before."

"But I still can't get out, and I will still die."

"What is my identity, you don't need to be so clear at all, but since you have already started to become wooden, you can't stop this result. It's still the deal. You give me your soul, and I will take you out."

Zi Lingding said: "If you can take me away from this place, hand me over to a man, but please don't tell him the truth."

"Many cave girls once asked me to take them out, but they all wanted to clearly tell their identities to the man they love, but you, hehe, interesting, tell me, who is the person you love?"

Zi Lingding seemed to be thinking, while Tang Fang, who was eavesdropping, was inexplicably nervous, and a layer of cold sweat broke out in his hands for no reason.

Zi Lingding finally uttered two words:

Tang Fang
