Chengtian Ba ​​Suo

Around April last year, I met a strange person. 【 】

How can I say he is a strange person, in fact he is a Taoist priest with a scruffy beard and wearing a green cloth Taoist robe. He stood downstairs in my house for three days.

Nothing else, just want a jade pendant from my ancestors.

This jade pendant was handed down from my ancestors, and passed to me after my father passed away.The words "Tongming Youbao" are engraved on it. The quality of the jade is quite good. It was originally appraised by someone, and it is said that it has a history of more than a thousand years.

Such an antique is worth 800 million yuan, and I don't even bother to take care of it.

But this Taoist priest insisted on passing through me in vain.

The reason is that he intends to take me to Xishuangbanna to see the real purpose of this jade pendant.

I've always been adventurous, and it's a lot more fun than writing at home.

The old Taoist mortgaged a large piece of gold to me, saying it was dug from the mountain.

Of course I'm farting when I say this, a brick is as big as a piece of gold, what mountain can be dug out?

Knowing that I don't believe it, the old Taoist squeezed his hand and made a spell for me.This spell almost destroyed my house, let's not talk about the specifics, anyway, I believed his words.

The next day, I packed up my things, took the jade pendant and followed the old Taoist priest on the road.

Instead of flying, we went by train.

The old Taoist is afraid of heights. Looking at his spoiled appearance, I suspect that he is a liar.If it wasn't for the effect of the previous spell still in my mind, I would have called the police a long time ago.

When we arrived at the boundary of Xishuangbanna, the old Taoist priest took me to drill around in the mountains on two legs.

That section of the road was too long, and my legs were swollen from walking.

Until the third day, the old Taoist pointed to a small mountain village ahead and said, that is where we are going.

It is said to be a small mountain village, but in fact there are only a few dilapidated houses, or thatched huts, and the taste of the original ecology is everywhere here.

The old Taoist priest should be very familiar with the people here, and greets people everywhere when he arrives here.

I looked around behind him, took out my camera and wanted to take a picture, but was slapped on the hand by the old Taoist: Don't take random pictures, there are rules here, and you will make trouble when you turn around.

Don't look at the old Taoist's weak appearance, but his hands are extremely strong, this slap made me grin my teeth.

I put the camera back into the bag, and while rubbing my hands that hurt from being shot, I asked him: What are we doing here?

The old taciturn Taoist priest walked on his own, without looking back, and replied to me: help others.

What are you busy with?

kill the corpse.

which corpse?

dead body.

Oh... I said a single word, and immediately came back to my senses: Wait, what does killing a corpse mean?I've heard of people killing pigs and chickens, ducks and fish, why are corpses still being killed?

Pigs, sheep, cattle, chickens, ducks, and fish include humans. The word killing is used because they are still alive.If it is dead, it is definitely not called killing.It should be called whip corpse.

oh.I didn't turn my head around for a while, and didn't understand what the old Taoist meant by saying this.

But then I understood that only the living can be called killing, so killing a corpse means killing a living corpse?Can the corpse still live?That's not a zombie anymore.

Let's kill zombies?I asked with some hesitation.

Be it.Well, that's it, follow me, go in and don't talk or look or move things.The old Taoist said.

I looked forward, only to find that we had come to a thatched cottage.

The room was pitch black, with no electric lights or candles. I don’t know if the owner of the house had a quirk, but there was a pair of black cloth shoes hanging by the door.

I heard that some people in the countryside hang peppers at the door, but I have never heard of anyone hanging cloth shoes.Is this ready to be marinated or what?

I glanced at the black cloth shoes and followed the old Taoist into the house.

As soon as I entered the room, it was completely dark in front of my eyes. Immediately afterwards, I heard a heavy breathing sound of "heh" from the room.This sound is very similar to the breath of ghosts in ghost movies.

At this time, I heard an old man say: You came very early.

This voice is full of breath, which is obviously different from the breath sound just now.

The old Taoist hummed and said, "I found something."

In the dark, the old man said, "Put it on the table. I'm feeding the corpse, so it's inconvenient to see people."

The old Taoist didn't say much, he turned to me and said, "Give me the jade pendant."

I hesitated, but I still gave the jade pendant to the old Taoist priest.It's all here, what are you afraid of, there is no need to cheat me with a big gold brick.I've found someone to look at that thing, it's pure gold, not a fake.

The old Taoist took the jade pendant and walked a few steps to the side. I heard a slight "click", and guessed that he put the jade pendant on the so-called table.

Then, the old Taoist grabbed my sleeve and pulled me out of the house.

Is this over?

The old Taoist went out, glanced at me, and said, "Of course it can't be finished, but he's busy, so I'll talk about it when I'm done."

The old Taoist priest is thin and thin, with half black and half white hair hanging loosely. If he is not wearing a Taoist robe, I would only think of him as a beggar.But now, seeing him standing at the door with a calm expression on his face, he felt a bit superior.

Don't keep looking at me, I'm not a girl, what's there to look at.You can walk around, but don't run far, and don't talk nonsense, just look, don't move.The old Taoist told me.

I couldn't bear to stand there like a trapped duck for a long time. When I heard this, I hummed and walked away.

The small mountain village is not big, and there are only a dozen or so houses. Occasionally, you can see a few people, and they all nodded at you blankly and walked away, without any human touch.

I only walked for a while and felt bored. What is there to see? There are mountains and trees everywhere. I wonder if I can run to see which mountain by myself.

I wanted to chat with someone to pass the time, but suddenly there was no one there.

At this moment, I heard a very shrill roar coming from the direction behind.

The sound was indescribable, and it was definitely not something a human could make.

When I turned around, I saw the old Taoist priest headlong into the dark room just now as if his butt was on fire.

What happened?

I ran back quickly, and during the running, I heard the sound of slamming doors closing everywhere. I turned my head and saw that the doors of the houses I passed just now were all closed, leaving no gaps.

What kind of situation is this? It looks a lot like the kind where monsters come and every house closes the doors and windows to hide.

When I ran to the black room, I only heard a sound of beating inside, as if someone was fighting inside.

Is this a fight?

My jade pendant!

Regardless of the darkness in the room, I dived in, only to hear the old Taoist yell: "Evil barrier!"

Immediately afterwards, I felt a gust of fishy wind blowing my nostrils, and my eyes suddenly became darker, and a gust of hot air that seemed to come from a person's mouth rushed towards my face.The stench was incomparable, I just felt dizzy in my head, my legs began to feel weak, and I almost collapsed on the ground.

Before I could react, the heat disappeared, and there was another chaotic sound in front of me.

I can't tell what the sound is, because my head is blank and I feel nauseous.It was as if countless bugs had been drilled into the stomach, churning, and something kept rushing into the throat.

The world was spinning, and I grabbed it with both hands, trying to support the wall or something, but I couldn't grab anything.

At this moment, I felt someone grab my arm, and the man pulled me out of the room with force.

It was bright outside, but I felt very dazzling.It was a little blurry in front of my eyes, but I could vaguely see that the person standing seemed to be an old Taoist priest.

Tell you not to come in, why don't you listen!The old Taoist looked a little distraught.

I still have the energy to mutter: When did you tell me not to come in.

But then, I felt my forehead was hot, as if someone had stamped it with a hot iron.

I cried out in pain, and wanted to touch my forehead with my hand, but someone grabbed my arm and couldn't move.

The voice of the old Taoist came to my ears: Don't move around, you have inhaled the breath of the corpse, if you don't get rid of it now, your life is over!

moisture?Rheumatism?

A hand suddenly pinched my mouth, and then I didn't know if it was a pill or something, but it was round and stuffed into my mouth and slapped on my mouth, and I swallowed it subconsciously.

After a few seconds, I vomited.

Even though I was still dizzy, I could still smell the stench, like a rotting corpse.

After vomiting for a long time, the more I vomited, the more awake I became, the stronger the smell in front of my nose became, and the stronger the smell, the more I felt like vomiting.

It's a vicious cycle, and I nearly spit my throat out.

After a long time, until there was nothing in my stomach to spit out from my throat, the old Taoist handed me a bowl of water: drink it, don't spit it out, or my life will be in danger.

I really wanted to rinse my mouth with water, but what he said was so frightening that I didn't care whether I was clean or not, so I raised my neck and drank a bowl of water.

I don't know if this water has sugar in it, it tastes too sweet to drink.

Seeing that I had finished drinking the water, the old Taoist took my arm to stay away from the pile of stinky things, and handed me a handful of rice: Hold it with both hands and throw away the rice when it feels hot.

I oh, grabbed the rice in my hand, and stood there obediently.

What happened just now?What moisture can make people spit like that.

The corpse gas is the gas of the bronze armored corpse. Ordinary people will fester and die after three days of smelling it.The old Taoist gave a short answer.

What the hell?Bronze armor corpse?Zombie?I rolled my eyes, is this a movie?But just now, a puff of air did spray on my face, and then I spit it out like someone who was poisoned.

Don't believe it, there are too many things in this world that you can't believe.If it wasn't for your ancestors' sake, I wouldn't bring you here either.said the old Taoist.

Do you know my ancestors?As soon as I said this, I knew that I was asking the wrong question. The old Taoist can even figure out the trivial things about me, so it is normal to know who my ancestors are.

I don't know it, but I've heard of it.You are just an ordinary person, and I brought you here this time just to end a relationship with your ancestors.The old Taoist said: In order to prevent you from continuing to cause trouble, now you can ask what you want.

Holding the rice in my hand, I looked at the smelly pile of things not far away, and asked: What are we doing here?

Don't ask me duplicate questions.The old Taoist replied.

If I can use QQ emoticons to describe it at this time, I think I will send a sweating emoji.

However, other than this question, I really can't think of what to ask.

The old Taoist didn't say a word, just stood beside me like a pillar.After holding back for a long time, I finally thought of a question: What was in the room just now?

people.The old Taoist said: There are also bronze armored corpses.
