My master is the coffin

Chapter 57 Ancestral Graves
Obviously, the relationship between the proprietress and him, Li Hong, is not very good.The more the two talked, the more excited they became, and then they began to curse.

The proprietress scolded my younger brother for being too lazy to work, and he is still a bachelor at such an age.Li Hong scolded his sister for being rich and heartless, and spent all day working as a pimp in Xi'an to harm the villagers.

We shook our heads when we heard this. It seems that the proprietress has been pimping for a long time.

Xiao Wang coughed impatiently: "Stop arguing, the investigation is important."

After all, the words of the police were somewhat intimidating. The siblings muttered twice before finally quieting down.

Then Li Hong said firmly: "Xiaoyu is definitely dead. I also helped carry the coffin."

Wu double-tapped his palm: "That's right."

I was a little surprised: "Is this still right?"

Wushuang nodded: "Xu You, have you caught ghosts with my dad before?"

I puffed up my chest: "Of course, I'm holding a mahogany sword in my hand, killing all directions..."

Wushuang asked me: "So, when you dealt with the ghost lady yesterday, did you feel that it was different from before?"

I thought about it, I have met ghosts many times.At the hospital, at the night market, at Wu'an's house.Most of those ghosts are very cold, because they are simply a cloud of yin.

But yesterday's ghost lady was different, I could feel her temperature.It seems that she has a body.

Wushuang nodded: "Then he took out a package from his pocket and handed it to me."

I opened the paper bag suspiciously, and there was a chopped palm inside, with individual fingers lying in it.

I was so startled that my hair almost stood on end.Stuffing the paper bag into Wushuang's arms, he couldn't help but want to vomit.With disgust in his mouth, he said, "Wu Shuang, are you sick? Why are you carrying this thing in your arms?"

Wushuang said innocently: "It's just a hand. It's not like you haven't seen a dead person before. Why are you making such a fuss?"

I scratched my hair helplessly: "I know you are laid out from the coffin and see the dead every day, but even so, there is no need to carry the corpse in your arms. What are you doing with this thing? It's a snack when you're hungry on the road ?"

Wushuang glared at me: "This is the hand of the ghost lady. I chopped it up and left it in the house last night."

I looked at the hand again: "According to this, the ghost lady from yesterday did have a body? Is Xiaoyu's body revived?"

Wushuang shook his head: "I don't know the details."

I looked at Xiao Wang: "We probably have to go to Xiaoyu's grave, her body may have disappeared."

Xiao Wang nodded and said to Li Hong, "Excuse me, please help guide the way."

At night, Li Hong didn't want to go out, but he didn't dare to go out, so he led us out with a sigh.

On the way, Li Hong introduced to us: "There is little arable land in the mountains, so the customs here are a bit special. The coffins of the dead are generally not buried in the soil, but placed in caves. A big family uses a cave. , it will be regarded as the ancestral grave."

I nodded again and again when I heard it from behind, and thought: "That's good, it saves digging graves. Although we have a policeman following us, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away here. If we really dig other people's graves, these villagers can take them We were buried alive in the pit."

Li Hong walked in the front with a flashlight, leading us gradually out of the village and then slowly up the mountain.This mountain is not steep, but because there are no steps, there is only a winding path purely stepped on by people.

The proprietress and Li Hong grew up here, walking like walking on flat ground.As for me, Wushuang, and Xiao Wang, it was a bit difficult for us, and we had to use our hands to support the small tree beside the road to borrow strength.

After walking for a while, I looked up and saw a faintly beating fire on the mountainside. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "Is that fire in front the entrance of the cave?"

Li Hong looked up, then nodded, and then he asked in doubt: "It's so late at night, why did someone light the fire inside?"

This unreasonable scene made us quicken our pace, and several people were walking rustlingly on the mountain.

However, the moment we approached the entrance of the cave, the fire in the cave suddenly went out without warning.

Several of us stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at each other.Wushuang murmured softly: "Why does it feel like the flames are deliberately avoiding us?"

Xiao Wang's courage was low, so he asked us a little hesitantly at this time: "Shall we go in? Otherwise, we can wait until dawn."

After thinking about it, I took the flashlight in Li Hong's hand and took a photo inside.

The hole was very deep, and the light from the flashlight was not enough to illuminate it, and the inside was hazy, making it difficult to see clearly.

Li Hong rushed into the cave and shouted: "Who was in there just now?"

His voice floated back and forth in the cave, and the reverberation and the original were mixed together, as if many people were talking.It sounds very intrusive at night.

After this voice shouted out, the surrounding was quiet, and no one answered him.

Li Hong yawned: "What we saw just now may be a ghost fire. It's nothing, it won't harm anyone, and it will go out when someone approaches. Let's go in early to have a look, then go home and go to sleep."

As soon as Li Hong talked about will-o'-the-wisps, Xiao Wang obviously relaxed a lot.After all, he had gone to school and knew that will-o'-the-wisps are just natural phenomena and have nothing to do with ghosts.So he nodded and agreed to enter the cave.

A group of us walked in slowly holding flashlights.

There was a lot of black dust near the entrance of the cave, which was thrown up with the footsteps and floated everywhere.These are probably paper ashes, left over from years of burnt paper.

Going deeper, slowly rows of coffins appeared.

I suddenly remembered something, and asked Wushuang in a low voice: "I heard that some places are very dark, and the corpse does not rot all the year round, and it is possible to cheat the corpse to return to life. How is it here?"

Wushuang shook his head: "This cave is very dry, and everything looks normal on the surface. But I don't know why, I always feel a little dangerous here."

When Wu Shuang said this, I felt it too.So he took out the mahogany sword, and then held up the flashlight to illuminate the surroundings.There are many stones in the cave, which cast long shadows under the flashlight, but other than that, there is nothing special about it.

Xiao Wang urged us: "Should we open the coffin earlier? See if the body is still there, and then go back?"

I nodded and asked Li Hong, "Where is Xiaoyu's coffin?"

Li Hong pointed to the one closest to us: "This is it."

I leaned over to have a look, and the spikes on the coffin lid had broken out.That is to say, the coffin should have been opened.

I'm [-]% sure in my heart that something must have happened to Xiaoyu's body.

Wushuang stood beside the coffin holding a mahogany sword, alert to possible dangerous situations.Then Li Hong and I lifted the lid of the coffin.

There was a musty smell from inside.Li Hong and I held our noses and took two steps back.

When the musty smell dissipated and we looked inside the coffin again, there was no one there, only a ragged quilt with green hair growing on it.

It seemed that her body really escaped from here.Then, she went to Xi'an like a living person, found the proprietress, and even picked up the guests.This thing is really a bit unbelievable.

Suddenly, the proprietress said: "Why are there no nails in these coffins? We definitely don't have this custom."

I held up my flashlight and looked at them one by one.Sure enough, these coffins were all concealed.The nail marks are still there, but the nails are gone.

I waved to Li Hong: "Come on, let's lift the lid of this coffin too."

After the coffin was opened, there was a half-decomposed dead body lying inside. Although the face was a little blurry, the arms and legs were still intact.

I couldn't help muttering: "It seems that only Xiaoyu's body is missing. What is the reason?"

I just turned around to leave, but Li Hong next to me stopped me.Then he looked at me nervously.

I didn't know why and asked him: "What's wrong?"

Li Hong didn't answer, but just stretched out his hand and pointed into the coffin.I saw that his hand was trembling, obviously frightened to the extreme.

I looked in the direction of his finger.I couldn't help being startled.This corpse actually has three hands.

In addition to the two normal arms, another hand is faintly exposed halfway from the back.

I asked Li Hong suspiciously in a low voice: "Are there any disabled people with long hands on their backs in your village?"

Li Hong shook his head affirmatively.

I beckoned to Wushuang on one side, then raised my mahogany sword, signaling to stab down.

Regardless of whether the person lying under the dead man is a ghost or not, the two of us pierce it with peach wood swords to ensure that he can't eat and walk around.

Just as I was about to make a move, the dead body suddenly sat up, swung its hands violently, and grabbed my neck.

This accident happened so suddenly that the mahogany sword in my hand was almost scared off.Fortunately, Wushuang next to him made a decisive decision and cut off the dead body's arms with a single strike.

At this moment, a figure jumped out of the coffin, and it seemed that he was about to run out of the cave.

Wushuang let out a low cry, and the mahogany sword came out of his hand and stabbed the man's thigh.The man was running wildly, but suddenly he staggered and fell to the ground, his head hit a rock, he struggled twice and failed to get up.

I pulled the two dead hands off my neck, and then took a flashlight to illuminate the kid.I want to see if he is a man or a ghost.

Then, at the moment when the lights flickered, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

Wushuang and I, Li Hong and his brother, plus Xiao Wang.There are only five people in total.But just now, why did I seem to see a dozen figures?

Thinking of this, I took a quick photo around the cave with my flashlight.

At this time, I suddenly discovered that around the five of us, many people appeared at some point.They vaguely surrounded the city in a circle, enclosing us right in the middle.

Li Hong's voice was trembling violently: "The corpse is fraudulent, all the corpses are fraudulent."

I was terrified in my heart, and at this moment, there was a splash beside me.

I shivered in fright, and when I looked back, Xiao Wang fell to the ground again in fright.
