The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 445

With the help of this fat civet cat, I finally had the opportunity to look carefully at the place where I was. After the light swept over, I saw that it was a cave like a tiankeng.Although the hole where I fell was camouflaged by plants, it was actually very large. On the contrary, the tiankeng was funnel-shaped, getting smaller as it went down. The surrounding rock walls were all black rocks with lumps.

The position I am in now is an irregular triangle, the light can hit the head directly, densely packed, colorful snakes are entangled together, and as the big civet cats get angry, many of them are cut into two sections, snake blood is everywhere, the air There is a very fishy taste in it.

Just as the civet cats were killing all directions, suddenly, a rope hung down from above, dangling right in front of my eyes.I froze for a moment, looked up with the light on, and saw that the rope was very long, and it should have been hanging from the top of the pit, but because the pit was too deep, I couldn't see what was going on above.

At this moment, I heard a woman's voice, shouting to me: "Xiao Su, come up quickly!" It was Ke Xiangu's voice.

As soon as the civet cat heard this movement, it turned its head and stopped trying to kill the snake, but grabbed the stone wall and quickly climbed up.Cats are very good at climbing, and the bumps and bumps on the stone wall make it easier to move, so don't look at it as fat and a bit out of shape, but it is still quite flexible when crawling.After climbing two steps, I turned around and yelled at me twice.

Without the suppression of the fat civet cat, the surrounding snakes immediately besieged me again, and most of them were killed by some of the same kind, so it seemed even more ferocious.In panic, I didn't care too much, I quickly grabbed the rope and was about to climb up, but the rope pulled up by itself.

As I crumbled, I gradually saw the situation above, but Zhou Xuanye and others who had disappeared were standing at the entrance of the hole where I fell, burying their heads in watching my situation.I'm a little confused, aren't they missing?There was no response to the yell just now, why did it suddenly appear now?
I was quickly pulled up. Ke Xiangu swung her thick arms and dragged me out. She squatted down and began to scold me: "I didn't say you, Xiao Su, it's the middle of the night, what are you messing around with?" .”

The rest of the people all looked at me, as if I had done something wrong and were waiting for my explanation. I was about to ask them what was going on, when something suddenly jumped out of the hole, and rushed out in the blink of an eye.

Naturally, he wanted to chase after him, so I quickly stopped him: "Stop chasing, that's a big civet cat, it saved me just now. Boss, Brother Zhou, where were you?"

Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren looked at each other, and finally Zhou Xuanye said: "We have been sleeping in the ancestral hall, and then we heard the movement, got up and looked, and found that you were gone." Ke Xiangu added: "We went out and saw your body on the ground. The footprints and snake prints followed suit."

I was shocked, did I make a mistake?
Tan Ren opened his mouth annoyed, and asked me what was going on, and how did that fat civet cat get here just now.I made up my mind and explained the cause and effect of the incident. When Xiangu Ke heard the words, she immediately said that it was dangerous. She told us that this is a place where mountains meet, deep forests are dense, and Fengshui and earth are exuberant. , but no big mountains.As the saying goes, the mountains gather spiritual energy, and the hills produce spirits and monsters. In the area of ​​Xiaogudun, there have always been many folk stories about mountain spirits and ghosts.

Beauty snake, ginseng spirit, fox spirit, raccoon spirit, mountain maoer, ghost king, flower mother-in-law, Ke Xiangu grew up listening to these stories.There are no big mountains in this stretch of mountains, the aura is omnipresent, and the earth's qi is scattered, giving birth to many mountain spirits and ghosts.

These mountain spirits generally avoid people and will not take the initiative to approach people. Most of them are relatively kind, only a small number of them, such as the beautiful snake, the ghost king, and the flower mother-in-law, are said to be very vicious and like to eat. people.

Ke Xiangu said, in my case, it is probably because I helped the civet cat and annoyed the big snake, so the mountain spirit black snake played some tricks to lure me here to entertain its children and grandchildren.

This civet cat knows how to repay his kindness, knowing that I have been tricked by the black snake, so he came here to help me.

While speaking, she pointed to the right side, and I looked along, and was shocked. It turned out that there was a huge dead snake there, wasn't it the one that wanted to eat the civet cat before?

"What's wrong with it?" I couldn't help asking.

Tan Ren snorted coldly, and said: "What else can we do? Naturally, we killed him." Only then did I notice that Tian Dao, who had been taciturn all this time, was still stained with blood on his sickle.It seemed that they were following my trail, but they encountered this big snake.The snake's morality was not very good, so he was hacked to death by Tianrandai.

At this moment, there was no pain in my body, and my brain was buzzing. I thanked the civet cat secretly, and I followed everyone back to the ancestral hall.Along the way, Ke Xiangu told us some local legends about mountain spirits, the most terrifying of which is Granny Hua.

It is said that Granny Hua is a kind of plant. No one knows what kind of plant it is. It has become a spirit for a long time and can move freely. There are many flower buds growing on its body, and each flower bud is the face of an old woman.After it catches a person or prey, it will roll it up and send it to its mouth, and a big smile will appear on that old woman's face, wrinkled and crowded together, which is extremely terrifying.

Grandma Hua's mouth is full of sharp thorns, without teeth, when she eats people, she spits them out slowly, the long thorns piercing through the human head, smashing them one by one, and becoming her nourishment .

Simply put, this is a carnivorous plant.The old people in the village sometimes scare the children who like to run wild in the mountains, and they like to say: Be careful to meet the flower mother in the mountains, who will eat you as fertilizer.

Needless to say the beauty snake, there are legends about it everywhere.And this big snake that was killed is obviously not a beauty snake, its Taoism is not as high as a beauty snake.

I heard that the ghost king is a very good ghost. He has a group of little ghosts under his command. He usually doesn't take the initiative to harm people, but if you enter its territory, you will become a human and you will become its little ghost.It is said that someone's son disappeared, and he went to the mountain to search during the day, and found a mummy, and the family took the mummy back.

Unexpectedly, that night, the son's little ghost came back, saying that he was ordered by the King of Ghosts to punish the person who stole the corpse.The kid who was completely manipulated just killed his family members before he was alive.The next day, the villagers opened the door and saw that there was blood all over the ground.

When I heard this, I couldn't help saying: "There are really so many mountain spirits and ghosts? Then Xiangu Ke, you usually go around the mountains alone, aren't you afraid?"

Ke Xiangu said: "Mountain spirits and ghosts are mostly harmless, and they take the initiative to avoid people, so they are so easy to encounter. Moreover, our ancestors have traveled the mountain for generations, and there is a fixed path, which is very safe."

Avoid people?

I couldn't help but said, "Since that's the case, why did I meet two ghosts all of a sudden?"

Ke Xiangu looked at me with strange eyes and said, "I'm also wondering, I often spend the night here, and I've never encountered these things before, why did you meet two when you came here?"

I smiled wryly, and said to myself that I have golden muscles and bones, and I have always been missed by thieves. I used to think that I only need to guard against people, but now it seems that I have to guard against these mountain spirits and ghosts. For a while, I felt Alexander.

At this time, Tan Ren suddenly said: "I'm afraid it has something to do with the old corpse."

"Old Corpse?" I thought of the hole that was dug out, and then thought of how the civet cat dug the hole before, and couldn't help asking: "What use is the Old Corpse for them?"

Ke Xiangu said: "I heard that eating Tai Sui can prolong life, but I don't know what is the use of the old corpse. The old corpse appears randomly, which is very rare. In ancient times, it was usually dug up and buried deep. .”

While talking, we were getting close to the location of the ancestral hall, but at this moment, there was a burst of gunfire from the direction of the ancestral hall, and the sound was very piercing in the night sky.Everyone was startled, and they didn't know what was going on. Feng Guishou, who was at the back and looked tired, was awakened by the gunshot and said, "Damn it, who is firing the gun!" He was very sensitive to gunshots, and his expression suddenly became tense.

In the darkness, the location of the ancestral hall could already be seen. Zhou Xuanye and the others did not extinguish the bonfire before leaving. After such a long time, the bonfire should have been extinguished. The light and shadow kept flickering, and there was the sound of gunfire.

Is it from the capital?
I really can't think of anyone else who would shoot but them.

But at the moment we are a little far away, so there is no way to see the situation inside the ancestral hall. At this moment, Ke Xiangu stomped her feet and said, "It's over, the 'ancestors' are still inside!"

I was taken aback. What if those people shot and accidentally injured the corpse?
But now, it is impossible for us to rush in, because rushing in is death.

In desperation, Zhou Xuanye signaled us not to worry, he thought for a while, then pointed to a few big trees in the distance, let us hide first.Feng Guishou said: "What about you?" Zhou Xuanye said: "I will take the corpse out, but it may cause those people to chase after you. Don't worry about me, I have a solution." After speaking, he waved his hand and signaled Let's act quickly.
