Raising Gu Notes

(Chapter 2 to.)

It's just that the old woman was talking, but she suddenly let out a cry, her face changed, and a stern look appeared in her eyes again: "No, who told you to come here?"

Ba Xiaolan glanced at Xie Lin, her expression was normal, she smiled slightly and said, "This question is not important, we can't just tell people about our background, anyway, we are here to help you."

However, although Ba Xiaolan was calm on the surface, her mood was very complicated. At this time, she was a little surprised, a little happy, and a little apprehensive and nervous.

To be honest, she was also fully aware of what happened to the corpse that suddenly sat up just now.

It was just that when she saw that the old woman was about to make a move, she was in a hurry, so she deliberately diverted the topic, trying to distract the old woman's attention temporarily, so that Xie Lin could be prepared.

I don't want to be a blind cat and a dead mouse. Listening to the old woman, it seems that even they don't know what's going on.And Ba Xiaolan remembered that when these people looked at the coffin just now, apart from fear and apprehension on their faces, they also looked worried. The old woman said just now that they were playing tricks. It was very abnormal, so Ba Xiaolan quickly denied it, and then said that they came here for this matter.

Judging from the old woman's reaction, it seemed that she really believed it.

So Ba Xiaolan couldn't help being a little happy, but she couldn't help being a little nervous and apprehensive, thinking quickly in her heart, what should she say next, so as not to make the old woman suspect, but also try to find out some news.

Along the way, they encountered all kinds of doubts, but suffered from the fact that they couldn't even see a person, and they couldn't ask questions at all. Now that they finally met so many people, and finally opened up the topic, they have a A good start, such an opportunity, cannot be easily let go.

So she pretended to be calm on the surface, not daring to show the slightest timidity.

And her response made the old woman even more uncertain. The old woman looked at Ba Xiaolan carefully, then turned her head to look at Xie Lin, as well as the stinky and angry people in front of Xie Lin, her expression gradually eased a lot.

It's just that there was still some suspicion on her face, she turned her head to look at the people behind her, and then turned her head to stare at Ba Xiaolan: "Do you know who did this?"

Ba Xiaolan smiled and said, "We are not sure about this at the moment, because we don't know some details. Can the old man tell us the specifics of this matter first."

The old woman was startled, then turned her head to look at the people behind her, and said a few words to them.

And those men and the women behind them talked in a hurry, as if they were discussing something.

Xie Lin and Zhang Lang couldn't help looking at Ba Xiaolan with strange expressions on their faces.

Ba Xiaolan smiled slightly.

Zhang Lang quietly gave Ba Xiaolan a thumbs up, and said in a low voice, "Sister, you are so powerful, you really know how to fool..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ba Xiaolan's face changed, and he gave Zhang Lang a hard look, then immediately turned to look at the opposite side.

But the old lady was still talking to the people behind her, and she didn't seem to have heard what Zhang Lang said just now.

Ba Xiaolan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but turned her head and glared at Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang stuck out his tongue with a look of embarrassment and embarrassment.

Xie Lin looked at Ba Xiaolan with a smile. Just now, Ba Xiaolan also looked over, so he nodded to Ba Xiaolan with a hint of admiration on his face.

Ba Xiaolan also smiled brightly.

It's just that neither of them said anything, they turned their heads to look at each other, still feeling a little apprehensive.

The old lady on the opposite side finally turned her head back at this time, she let out a long breath, and nodded: "Could it be that the guests were invited by Miss Ayina?"

Aina?The three of Xie Lin couldn't help being slightly startled.

But the old lady didn't wait for Xie Lin and the others to answer, and said, "Actually, this problem has troubled us for many years."

She told Xie Lin that for tens of thousands of years, their family has been living in this canyon, living a life almost isolated from the world.In the past, the climate in this canyon also had four distinct seasons, but more than 100 years ago, volcanic activities below the canyon suddenly became frequent, and even a small volcanic eruption occurred in the center of the canyon. There are also many hot springs, and the climate has become like spring all year round, which is more suitable for people to live in, and the products have become more abundant, and people's lives are naturally richer.

However, the hot spring water emerging from the ground is highly toxic. People will be poisoned if they take a bath in the hot spring, but this is not a big problem, as long as people do not directly enter the hot spring water to take a bath, and after a few years A strange grass grows on the edge of these hot springs, which can neutralize the poison in the hot spring water. If people are poisoned by the poison in the hot spring water, they can also use this grass to detoxify.

Only later, they discovered a more serious problem.They found that after the people who lived here died, their bodies no longer rotted.

After the death of a person here, they will first bury the dead in the soil, and after three years, dig out the bones, send them to such an altar, and put them outside for another three years, until only the bones are left in the body, and then put It was sent into the cave and buried in a unified way. This is also the funeral tradition they have followed for thousands of years.

They believe that only in this way can the soul of the deceased be separated from the body, go to heaven, serve the great ancient God, and enjoy the happiness of heaven.

But later they discovered that the deceased had been buried in the soil for three years and then dug out, but it was still lifelike, and there was no decay at all, but the corpses turned golden, and they were so tough that even a knife could hardly cut them.

After some research, it was found that the reason why these corpses did not decompose was also because of the volcanic eruption, and the toxins in the underground lava penetrated into the surface water. After people drank it, their bodies gradually changed, and the strange toxins also accumulated. And it is the toxin that makes it difficult for human corpses to decompose after death. Not only do human corpses not decompose after death, but also the corpses of many animals are also difficult to decompose after death. Whether it is buried in the soil or soaked in water, Or exposed to the air, it is difficult for these corpses to completely rot.

This surprised the people in the canyon and gave them a headache, because if the dead body does not decompose, it means that their funeral traditions will change accordingly.Gradually, some people thought that it was the great ancient God who was dissatisfied with them and cursed them, making it difficult for their souls to escape, so people became more and more panicked.

Because the funeral tradition has been passed down since ancient times, and it is said that it is also the request of the ancient god, so they dare not change it easily, so they have to wait three years later, scrape off the flesh and other things from the corpses with human power, and then cremate them. The bones under the altar are still placed in the cave behind the altar and placed in a unified manner.

However, the longer the corpses are left, the tougher they become, which also brings troubles to the people here, but the people here think that the God Gu Du is testing them, so they dare not have any complaints.

But after a few years, a strange little animal suddenly appeared in the canyon. It likes to eat all kinds of dead bodies, and their teeth are also very good. No matter how long the dead body is, it becomes No matter how tough they are, they can eat their flesh.Moreover, these animals also have a special habit. Although they like to eat corpses, they don't like to eat the bones on the corpses, even the tender bones. Therefore, after the corpses are eaten by them, the bones can be preserved very intact.

Needless to say, these strange little animals are naturally 'corpse rats'.

The people here naturally welcomed these small animals very much, and thought that the God of Gu Du finally forgave them, so they sent these corpse rats to help them.

But soon they discovered that these small animals were very vicious. They not only ate corpses, but also attacked people actively. After people died, they would bury the corpses in the soil. After a period of time, the corpses became tough. , dig it out and eat it.

This made people panic again, but they believed that the corpse rats were sent by the great ancient God, and they did not dare to hunt and kill these corpse rats casually, and even tried to avoid conflicts with these corpse rats unless it was absolutely necessary.

And these corpse rats are constantly multiplying, more and more, making people miserable.

For the next few decades, they lived in dire straits. When people went outside, they often had to go in groups, otherwise they would be attacked by corpse rats.Finally, some people couldn't bear it anymore and started to take the lead in fighting against these corpse rats, but these corpse rats were very powerful and very cunning, they couldn't be killed or driven away no matter what.

Until more than twenty years ago, this situation finally happened and changed. Several outsiders broke into here suddenly, and the person who took the lead tamed those corpse rats.

Since then, the corpse-eating rats have never taken the initiative to attack people.They and the people here can finally live in harmony.

When the three of Xie Lin heard this, they couldn't help being shocked, and their faces showed strange colors.

Was it the blind old man who tamed the corpse rat?Xie Lin said in his heart.
