The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 250 Raising Corpse Coffin ([-])
Generally speaking, in folklore, painting the coffin black means to let the dead in the coffin sleep peacefully, and painting it red means exorcising evil spirits.

Therefore, this black lacquered coffin only has the meaning of sleeping peacefully, and has no effect of exorcising evil spirits.This is also one of the conditions for raising a coffin for a long time.The second condition is that the outer layer of the coffin is a protective film made entirely of human skin.Created airtight conditions for the coffin.

At this time, Xia Xiangxi didn't know how powerful the zombies raised in such coffins were.Intuitively, there is a very strong hostility emanating from the coffin. Even if she is a witch, she just broke in here, and she didn't ignore the reason why this zombie was raised.

Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei worked together to cut off the outer skin of the coffin with a dagger, and then pry the coffin open.Generally speaking, iron nails are not allowed on coffins.Because it is said that iron nails can nail the soul of a dead person so that they will not be reborn forever.

In ancient times, no nails were used in coffins, but leather strips were used to bind the bottom and lid of the coffin together.Bundle three in the horizontal direction and two in the vertical direction.The boards in the horizontal direction are long and the boards in the vertical direction are short, which is where the "three long and two short" come from.At first, "three long and two short" was used as another name for death, and later added meanings such as accident and disaster.

In modern times, the traditional leather straps are not used to seal the coffin, but wooden wedges are used to connect the coffin lid and the bottom of the coffin.The wooden wedges are wide at both ends and narrow at the middle, and are inserted into the sills on both sides of the coffin mouth to make the lid fit the coffin body tightly.

Because the coffin was sealed with a wooden wedge, no matter how long it took, the wood would not rust and die, so it was easy for Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei to open the coffin.It is also because this is not a way of closing the museum or an ancient traditional way, Xia Xiangxi thinks that this coffin should not be the coffin of the legendary Yaowa.It's just that for now, it's just her guess. Before the coffin was opened, she didn't dare to draw conclusions about what was inside.

Xia Xiangxi was a little nervous, but the source of the tension was not because he was afraid that zombies would appear inside.Instead, she was wondering whose corpse in this coffin belonged to?If that corpse really belonged to Yaowa, she really didn't know how to feel when she saw her previous body.

The coffin lid was slowly opened. Originally, Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei had already covered their noses with their cuffs, and were prepared to prevent the poison, because there would inevitably be corpse gas coming out of the coffin.Deadly corpse gas is not negotiable.If one is poisoned by this poisonous gas, even if one does not die, one will not be much better. A serious illness is inevitable.

Unexpectedly, what came out of the coffin was not a disgusting rancid smell that made people want to spit out their intestines, but a smell of spices.Even though Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei were covering their noses, they could still smell the strong fragrance.And this fragrance is very familiar to Xia Xiangxi.It tasted exactly the same as the spice that Xia Xiangxi got from the ghost mother-in-law.

Shi Wei naturally also noticed this smell, and Xia Xiangxi looked at each other, and slowly let go of the hand covering her nose.The two girls slammed the coffin lid to the ground with force, and there was a loud "bang".

Faced with a huge source of sound, people are like setting off firecrackers. They know what kind of noise it will be, but when the firecrackers explode, they will still be startled.Both Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei were like this, instinctively trembling with fright.And the one in the coffin seemed to have the same instinctive reaction.Hearing an exclamation of "ah", it seemed that someone inside had fallen asleep in the coffin by mistake. At this time, Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei woke up unexpectedly, and sat up suddenly from inside the coffin.He looked at Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei with astonishment.

Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei also seemed to be stupid all of a sudden, unable to recover for a long time.Shi Wei pointed at the person sitting up in the coffin in disbelief, and said blankly: "He Xuan? You...why did you get into the coffin?"

Xia Xiangxi came to his senses when he heard He Xuan's name.She jerked Shi Wei violently, and quickly pulled her to the stairs in the dark room, ready to escape at any time.It's just that her eyes are actually hard to move away from the face of the man in the coffin.

It was a pale and beautiful face, and there was an unusually seductive color in the cold outline. People couldn't help but look at it carefully. They were deeply attracted by him, but they were forced by his elegant and haughty temperament. It makes people feel indifferent and alienated, as if separated by mountains and rivers.

In addition to that handsome face, more importantly, this face is very similar to He Xuan.Or it can be said that it is exactly the same.For a moment, Xia Xiangxi, like Shi Wei, forgot the reality, thinking that He Xuan put on Miao clothes like a prank, hid in the coffin and played a slightly scary joke on them.

However, Xia Xiangxi finally recovered.Because she knew it wasn't He Xuan.It's a zombie that lives up to its name and is ridiculously handsome!If she guessed correctly, the zombie's name should be Ma Aojiang.The man who always popped up in her mind at a certain moment was the Miao wizard who was inextricably linked to her past life!
When the zombie saw Xia Xiangxi, he also looked stupid. Soon, his inconceivably white face was filled with colorful expressions of joy and sorrow, from surprise at the beginning to sadness later.It's like a process of joy and sorrow that repeats life and death.

"Qingyan!" The zombie shouted the name.

Xia Xiangxi's body shook violently as if someone had pushed her hard.She guessed correctly, this man is Ma Aojiang, the fickle Miao man who lived up to the legendary Han maiden Huo Qingyan!

Shi Wei was still on the side as if confused, unable to distinguish reality, and still unable to recover from the shock that the zombie was He Xuan.When the zombie called out the name "Qingyan", she looked at Xia Xiangxi and then at the zombie in a daze.He opened his mouth and bit his own arm as if he wanted to make sure this was a dream.Then he said, "It doesn't hurt, this is really a dream!"

Xia Xiangxi would like to remind Shi Wei that they are in the mirror world of the Soul Splitting Mirror, and even if Shi Wei's hand is eaten by someone, she will not feel pain, because to be exact, they are no doubt like ghosts now. .The only difference is that their bodies are still alive, while the bodies of ghosts are already dead!
The zombie slowly stood up from the coffin, and jumped out of the coffin lightly.His body is not like a normal zombie.Ordinary zombies have stiff limbs and cannot walk like a human at all.

Xia Xiangxi took a deep breath.She had heard from her grandfather that there were [-] kinds of corpse changes, and among them, flesh corpses and blood corpses undoubtedly behaved like living people.A corpse is a living dead person. The soul has left the body, but the body is still alive. It can move, walk and eat, and often has no consciousness of its own.The meat corpse is actually kinder and will not hurt people.The blood corpse is caused by the seven souls still sealed in the body after death, so the blood corpse can live like a normal person, but cannot marry a wife and have children, and there is a nine-orifice hemorrhage once a month, and then fresh blood must be replenished .The best way to tell them apart is by looking at their skin color, which is all purple in color.

According to the eighteen kinds of corpse changes, the zombie in front of him is no doubt like an ordinary person, it should be regarded as a flesh corpse!But in terms of the hostility on his body, he is like a blood corpse.The only thing that doesn't look like a blood corpse is the color of his skin, which is extremely fair, not the crimson purple that a blood corpse should have at all!
Xia Xiangxi grabbed the dagger tightly and stared at the zombie.Grandpa said, to deal with a flesh corpse, you only need to tell it that it is dead, and the kindest flesh corpse in this kind of corpse change is scared to death by itself.To deal with the blood corpse, you need to use seven date stone nails to hit the seven acupuncture points where the blood corpse's seven souls are located, so that the seven souls sealed in the blood corpse can be released, and the blood corpse will be broken!

It's a pity that Xia Xiangxi has the spell to exorcise ghosts and subdue demons, but he doesn't have any of the seven date stone nails, so he can't steal it even if he wants to!She could only take out the talisman and prepare to try with a dagger to see if she could kill the zombie by bleeding after piercing through its flesh.

The zombie still looked very excited facing Xia Xiangxi.With extremely sad eyes, he said: "Qingyan! Qingyan! Aren't you already dead? Why are you still here? Am I dreaming?"

Xia Xiangxi snorted inwardly, thinking: You are the real dead!
In the past, as long as the zombie's face appeared in her mind, she would have a terrible headache and feel slightly disturbed.But now that she actually saw the owner, she became normal instead.

At this time, even Xia Xiangxi knew that the zombie in front of her was the legendary ruthless man who persecuted her in her previous life.After all, it was a grievance from a previous life, Xia Xiangxi herself has no grievances with this zombie in front of her now, except for that face that looks almost identical to He Xuan, she is not at all entangled in who this zombie is!

If there is only one emotion, it is contempt.I despise a man who uses extremely cruel methods to hurt and play with women's feelings!In particular, it is rumored that Ma Aojiang did not stop after Huo Qingyan's death, and set up a Fengshui formation to imprison Huo Qingyan's soul forever, and he will never be reborn forever!

"Don't come here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Xia Xiangxi waved the dagger and the charm in his hand, and reminded Shi Wei to prepare her Chenzhou Talisman.Ready to shoot together at any time to kill this zombie who has been dead for decades.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the exit of the secret passage. Judging from the movement, it should be that the villagers who caught Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei had discovered that they were missing and discovered the secret passage.

Xia Xiangxi was nervous for a while, she was not afraid of the people above rushing into the dark room, she was most afraid that those people would block the entrance of the dark passage in the most ruthless and swift way, then she and Shi Wei would deal with a zombie in such a small space , whoever is not paying attention, can be caught or bitten by zombies, then the trouble will be great!
