Hundred Ghosts Taboo

Chapter 226 Scarlet Dream
After hearing Chu Ling's question, Cao Zhenhai smiled: "Girl, I really don't know if there are any Taoist priests on this mountain. But looking at the current weather, it is really impossible to live without a warm house on this mountain. Besides, there are still some Taoists on this mountain. It’s really just my huts, I don’t think there will be others, even if there are, they will be dead.”

Chu Ling nodded, turned his head and glanced at the door, and snow balls like goose feathers were constantly blowing in through the crack of the door.Even in this room, the cold wind can still penetrate thick clothes and get into people's bodies.

This uncle is right, it will really freeze to death.

But Chu Ling was puzzled. The elders in the family had mentioned to him countless times that the old Taoist priest who had a good relationship with his grandfather lived in seclusion on this mountain all year round, claiming that he would never go down the mountain for the rest of his life.Wouldn't he have been frozen to death long ago?

"Girl, who do you think that person is? Your relatives?" Cao Zhenhai interrupted at this moment.

"No, it's just an acquaintance. I need to ask him to do something."

"I'm looking for a Taoist priest to do something...Girl, are you two in trouble?" Cao Zhenhai guessed that he had been alone in the mountains for a long time, and he was very chatty and curious.

"No, something else." Chu Ling shook his head and smiled.

"Oh that's fine, I thought you two were bewitched. If you are really bewitched, you don't have to hide it. I have stayed on this mountain all year round, and I also know a little bit about exorcising evil. If the trouble is small, I will say Maybe it can help you too." Cao Zhenhai was very enthusiastic.

But what he said made Bai Wuji and the others curious, why did they know some tricks to exorcise evil spirits after staying on this mountain all year round?
Seeing Bai Wuji and Chu Ling's doubts, Cao Zhenhai smiled and said, "Haha, I forgot, you two don't come to this mountain often, maybe you don't know... this mountain is not ordinary, there are some weird things In the early years, people often died, but in recent years it has subsided a lot.”

Speaking of this kind of topic, Chu Ling became a little interested, and asked curiously, "Oh? Are there still ghosts in this mountain?"

"It's not haunted. That thing shouldn't be a ghost. It's five zombie-like things. They are said to be extremely powerful. They tear up people when they see them. They eat people without spitting out their bones! When I went up the mountain in the early years, I always met broken corpses. Well, they did it! Those of us who know about it call them zombies, but I don't know what they are. Oh, there is a legend about these five zombies here... It’s okay, let me tell you about it.”

So, Cao Zhenhai began to tell stories.

It is said that the five zombie-like monsters were originally humans, a group of robbers on the mountain about hundreds of years ago.It is said that they are all villains who murder and set fires, and do all kinds of evil, and they are all very skilled. In addition, they are familiar with the terrain of the mountain, and the government at that time could not do anything about them.

Because of the incompetence of the government, the robbers raped and looted and did all kinds of crimes. The people in the vicinity were terrified at night, for fear that the robbers on the mountain would come down to rob and kill people.

Later, a mysterious man came to this film, he was a weird old Taoist priest.But it is said that he is not a good person. It is said that some children secretly saw him practicing some sorcery, and even stole the children here.Later, when the robber came down the mountain, although the old Taoist knew magic, he was definitely not as good at fighting as the robber.That night, the old Taoist priest robbed all the treasures, gold and silver that he had cheated for decades, and he himself was beaten and insulted by the robbers.

The old Taoist became angry and determined to take revenge. He left this place for half a year, and when he came back, he brought five mysterious things.They are mysterious because they can walk, but they are covered by black cloth from head to toe, leaving only a pair of eyes to see the road.At that time, someone saw that the eyes of the five people were blood red.

Later, the old Taoist went up the mountain with these five strange gadgets.

It is also rumored that it was winter when the old Taoist priest went up the mountain, and the mountain was covered by heavy snow. For a full 20 days, the old Taoist priest did not come down.When the snow stopped and spring began, when a group of people went up the mountain, they found five withered corpses, as if they had been burned.As soon as the finger touched it, the corpse was blown away by the wind, and the dust was surrounded by the black cloth that the old Taoist used to cover the five strange things.At that time, the villagers felt that the old Taoist probably had no skills, and the rescuers who moved in were all burned to death by the bandits.

But soon, when it was late at night, the villagers who entered the mountain first found the body of the old Taoist priest who had been torn beyond recognition, and then found five zombie monsters wearing robber clothes!There were about twenty villagers in a group, only two escaped, and the rest died at the hands of those monsters.

"...It is said that the monsters have been staying on the mountain for hundreds of years, and no one has been able to deal with them." Cao Zhenhai took a sip of hot water after talking about this.

Chu Ling was curious and asked, "If this rumor is true, would anyone dare to go hunting in the mountains?"

"Hehe, not everyone believes the rumors. Besides, people who died before were torn apart. Who knows if it was a monster or a wild beast? Besides, there is another legend that those five monsters only came out at night. Killing people, and never smashing the door, as long as the door is closed, no one will open the door if you knock, and you will be fine if you stay here for one night."

Don't come out during the day, just hurt people at night?

Bai Wuji was puzzled for a moment, thinking about the number of those monsters being five, and the legend that Uncle Cao just told, Bai Wuji found it strange to think about it.But I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I simply stopped thinking about it.The three chatted casually again. Uncle Cao was not only a chatterbox, but also lovable. At that time, he took out all kinds of talismans he had spent and said where these things were pasted, and the five monsters would not dare to come in. It is said that these are handed down from the ancestors. In the past, the older generation hunted in the mountains and needed to stay overnight, so they all got these talismans for protection.

But when Chu Ling saw those talismans, he could only laugh dryly.

Even the basic format of the symbols is wrong, obviously it doesn't work.Presumably the monster rumored on the mountain should also be a beast.But Chu Ling didn't point it out, and gave Cao Zhenhai some face.

After chatting for a while, Cao Zhenhai said to Chu Ling and Bai Wuji: "But the snow is getting bigger and bigger. I have a car here. I will take two things later. I will take you down the mountain. Don't care who you are looking for. Wait for the snow to come. Stop and go, or you will really lose your life."

Cao Zhenhai had good intentions, and Chu Ling also understood that it was really not an option to go on like this. Anyway, she didn't want to go home for a blind date, and she didn't care how long it took, so the two decided to go down the mountain with Cao Zhenhai.

But there is one thing that is very unfortunate. Although the mobile phone signal on this mountain is very poor, there is no internet, and there is no TV, but the radio signal is okay. Cao Zhenhai is usually bored here, so he just listens to his old-fashioned radio.But at this moment, the news was broadcast on the radio, saying that there was a blizzard on the mountain, and the mountain road had been blocked by snow.

"Sealed? Why so fast?" Cao Zhenhai's expression was not good, and he pushed open the door at that time. With a splash, the snow crossed the threshold and pushed directly into the house, submerging Cao Zhenhai's ankles. When Cao Zhenhai looked outside, the snow had already covered his calves. Son, this is absolutely impossible to go.

"It's over, it's over, I can't go now..." Cao Zhenhai shook his head, pushed the door away, came to the table and said to Bai Wuji and Chu Ling: "It's snowing too much outside, and the mountain road is blocked. Fortunately, I have a reserve If you eat enough, it’s okay for three people to eat for a month. According to visual estimation, we can go down for at least a week, and you two can make up for it now and I will do it.”

Chu Ling quickly shook his head: "How embarrassing, you can calculate the money for Uncle Cao's things, and we will pay the bill."

Cao Zhenhai waved his hand: "What kind of bill do you pay? When someone is not in trouble, a few mouthfuls are worthless... Come on, there are three small rooms downstairs. Do you live together or separate?"

Chu Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's separate."

Cao Zhenhai glanced suspiciously, chuckled, and said, "Young people, don't always get angry because of trivial things. It's fate to meet each other, and we should cherish each other."

Bai Wuji and Chu Ling immediately had black lines all over their faces. What is this, what is it, a misunderstanding?
"It's not uncle, actually we are not angry, we are..."

Bai Wuji opened his mouth to explain, but Cao Zhenhai went to tidy up the house with a smile.Bai Wuji could only shrug helplessly at Chu Ling.

Soon, night fell, the wind outside became louder, and the snowballs slammed on the door panel. One could imagine how much snow was outside.With such heavy snow, the living would definitely not be able to survive outside. At this time, it is estimated that only the dead would be left outside.

Bai Wuji was just thinking about this boredly, when suddenly there was a knock on the door!

Chu Ling and Cao Zhenhai were also taken aback. At this moment, the three of them were sitting at the table drinking ginger soup.

"Why is someone knocking on the door all of a sudden?" Chu Ling raised her eyebrows.

Cao Zhenhai turned pale at this time, shook his head and said, "Impossible, what time is it, and the snow is so heavy outside... It must not be a person, it must be a zombie! The rumored zombies on the mountain, I heard that they like heavy snow Come out!"

Boom boom boom!
The knocking on the door continued.

Bai Wuji stood up and walked to the door.

Cao Zhenhai hurried over: "What are you doing, don't move, this door cannot be opened."

But at this moment, a trembling man's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Big... big brother, open... open the door, I'm freezing to death, I'm about to freeze to death..."

This is a human voice.

Cao Zhenhai was taken aback, and looked along the crack of the door, there was a man in a down jacket standing outside, looking gentle, with eyes, his face was rather thin.There is a woman in his arms, who is the complete opposite of the gentle man. She looks a bit seductive, and her figure cannot be seen in a down jacket, but if this face is matched with a similar figure, she will definitely be a rare stunner in the world.

"Human?" Bai Wuji was taken aback.

"Hey, wait a minute, I'll open the door." Cao Zhenhai breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly opened the door. A man and a woman came in trembling, their faces pale with cold.

Seeing that the two came in, Cao Zhenhai quickly closed the door, heaved a sigh of relief, and asked, "You two are still going up the mountain so late?"

The gentle man smiled and said: "I'm really sorry to trouble you, uncle, we originally wanted to play on the mountain, but the snow was too heavy, we were trapped and couldn't go down, the car broke down, and it was very cold inside, just in time to see you hut, so I turned towards it for warmth.”

"Oh, that's it, that's fine...but we can only go down this snow-covered mountain for at least a week, so don't go, let's stay here temporarily."

"Thank you so much, uncle." The man said with a smile.

The man looked gentle and polite, but the charming woman didn't say a few words from the beginning to the end, except for trembling and rubbing her hands.

Bai Wuji looked at this man, but raised his eyebrows. He subconsciously thought about what he said just now. He said that he came to play on the mountain, and then he was trapped, unable to get down, and the car broke down.Bai Wuji frowned, thinking he was wrong, there were often people hunting on this mountain, which meant that there were many wild animals, and there might be some wild animals.When choosing where to play, one should at least understand the situation here, right?These two people don't even have a shotgun, are they here to play?Even if it's a vacation, you have to choose a safe place without wild animals, right?
