There are many things in the world that lead to the same destination through different paths, but this is the first time I have seen such a coincidence.
Originally, I was just torturing the soul of Master Jitai's "motivation", but now this Zhao Debiao's father suddenly appeared. Think about the things that I have experienced, how many people have done anything and have no conscience for the sake of "eternal life"
, in the end it is nothing but nothingness, which is really sad and lamentable.
To be honest, the character of Master Jitai cannot be ranked among the group of people who are devoid of humanity and have no conscience. Although their methods are disgraceful and their motives are not pure, at least they do not have the intention to harm others.
Even if it is to confuse the villagers, the purpose is just to control their thoughts and use the people's belief and worship to maintain their own lives. However, this Zhao Debiao's father, let's call him Zhao, compared with him, real Jitai is simply
A small witch meets a big witch. With Zhao's methods and ambition, he would not hesitate to kill everyone in the town in exchange for eternal life.
"Life is only once for everyone." I shook my head, full of helplessness, "If you want to live forever, you have to change your fate against the will of heaven. God is fair to everyone. If you want to live, someone must die.
, but why should he die?"
I sighed.
My fourth uncle glanced at me and said, "You are right, but it's a pity that many people don't understand this truth."
"A blind eye cannot see Mount Tai. These people are all blinded by lard. Naturally, they cannot see this simple truth."
"I don't care whether Zhao understands the truth or not. I'm just curious, who is this person?" Jin Lei asked, "Such a powerful person is in the local area, but we don't know anything about it, and the case files are still there.
In our hands, this is really unbelievable.”
"You are on to the point. It seems that we have been involved in a bigger case." I looked at Jin Lei and said with a smile: "I even suspect that Professor Ye is a drunkard who is not drunk...
..”
"That's impossible!" Jin Lei immediately interrupted me, "The professor has no knowledge of this, so don't make random assumptions."
I didn't want to get entangled with her, so I said to my fourth uncle: "Fourth uncle, please continue talking."
"When the old man came here, he just wanted to check it out. He didn't realize that the situation at the bottom of the well was completely different from what it was back then. If he had narrowly escaped death last time he came in, it would definitely be considered difficult to get out this time.
Qingtian. What's more terrible is that he hasn't prepared any magic weapon yet. But when his temper got worse, he didn't care about the danger. Although his eyes were still bloodshot, his mind had calmed down and he lit the two remaining torches on the wall. At this time,
The interior was already fully illuminated, and apart from the sound of blood dripping into the vessel, there was no other noise. Looking forward, the end of the rectangular chamber was filled with naked corpses, layer upon layer.
The corpses lying on their backs had their bellies exposed, as if someone had dug a handful out of them. The temperature underground was high, some corpses had begun to rot, and some fat maggots were wandering in the sea of ​​corpses. The old man saw this
He almost vomited out his overnight meal at the sight. Then he thought that when he first came down, Old Dutou was haunted by the resentment of these unjust souls who died in vain through the turbid blood lamp. As long as this place is burned, everything will be fine.
But these tragic deaths in front of me made the old man unable to calm down the anger in his chest for a long time. Although he didn't know who did it, it must have something to do with Zhao Debiao's father. The old man turned around and didn't look at the rotting corpses. But he was struck by the corpses.
The rotten smell made my head feel heavy. I reached into my arms and took out a clove of garlic. I broke it open and put it under my nose and smelled it. The spicy smell immediately stimulated my head and woke me up. I wanted to save those who were still alive.
, even if you can't survive, don't suffer this punishment. But before touching the people hanging on the wall, the expressions on these people's faces began to distort, as if they were particularly painful. The old man thought it was these people who were in pain.
When I woke up, I found that there seemed to be something in these people's skin that was about to break out. The skin of Songtata was pushed up so high that the things inside kept swimming around in the human body, as if
Looking for the best place to show up.”
The fourth uncle took a sip of tea and continued: "As soon as the old man walked into the secret room, he found that the rooms were full of corpses, and there were many dying people hanging on the walls. Just when the old man was about to rescue those hanging on the wall,
When the people were standing there, something suddenly happened. I don’t know what was actually moving under those people’s bellies. The old man’s hair stood up when he saw it, and he cursed: Damn it, what’s going on at this time? The expressions on those people’s faces
Although distorted, the gray eyes remained unchanged. A painful groan came from the throat. The thing wandered to the belly, stopped, and burst into the belly with a hiss, revealing a fat body like a maggot.
The maggots, mixed with steaming plasma, showed their heads. Not only were these maggots unlike the maggots in ordinary latrines, but they were also bloated, with heads as big as pig brains, and their bodies were covered in flesh folds. They were covered with coarse hairs like pig hair.
, as soon as the maggots emerged, the people hanging on the iron hooks hung their heads and died. I have never seen these white maggots before, they are definitely not ordinary corpse worms. I didn’t dare to be careless and took a step back. Those corpse worms had
The mouth has eyes, but it seems that it has just been born and the eyes have not yet opened. The corpse worms attached to the human body tore open the belly one by one and popped out. The maggot closest to the old man moved its fat head.
He blinked and stood up with his eyelids, and then he opened his big mouth and roared as if he was extremely angry. Only then did the old man see clearly that the mouths of these maggots were full of sharp mouthparts. When he opened his mouth, a fishy stench hit his nostrils, and he was drooling with saliva.
Far away. The cry of maggots is like the cry of a baby, sharp and harsh. As this maggot screams, other maggots also scream.
Then the roar started, and the sound was weird and ear-splitting. The old man covered his ears and retreated to the corner. The maggots jumped out of the cavity one by one and fell into the vessels on the ground. Blood bubbled out and gurgled.
He jumped up and pounced on the old master in front of him. All this happened in a flash of lightning. Seeing that the situation was not good, the old master took a step back. The maggot jumped into the air, and its half-meter-long body hit the wall.
A blood mark of Yin Hong was made. The old man had heard that shamans worshiped blood, taught corpses to bleed, and were good at manipulating evil things. But I didn't expect that there was such an evil thing in the world. I couldn't care much at the moment, so I ran away.
But the ground is full of smelly maggots. If you are not careful, you will become a snack for the big maggots. More maggots are approaching step by step. The old man has no choice but to take off the torch on the wall to resist for a while. Now, even if he exerts all his strength
It can’t be used either.”
"But it is an eternal truth that one thing descends from another in the world. These maggots are obviously transformed by the essence of the human body. There is no precedent for fly maggots entering the human body and turning into parasites, but these fly maggots are ridiculously large.
, and huge mouthparts. It is obvious that someone deliberately implanted the worms, and then scattered the three souls of the person, and the essence was sealed in the maggots. Although these worms have no thoughts, they have inherited the host's resentment and instinctive addiction.
Blood. Moreover, this kind of bug has a very strong Yin energy. The Yin evil spirit when it first came in may be produced by these bugs that are still in the human body. These bugs did not give the old man time to think about it. They roared one by one and used
The plump back body bounced up, carrying a fishy wind, and rushed towards the old man. The old man held a torch to block the maggots coming from across the air, but these maggots bounced up too fast, and it was impossible to dodge left and right.
Perhaps, the old master roared angrily and stuffed the torch into the maggot's mouth. Unexpectedly, the maggot was so strong that it swallowed the flames without realizing it. It forcefully threw the torch out of the old master's hand. The old master watched.
These disgusting bugs break out in a cold sweat and are about to die from their mouths, but they think of the garlic in their arms. This garlic is the most masculine thing among plants. If you encounter a little devil, eat garlic and you will get the spicy smell of garlic in your mouth.
, can scare away those evil spirits. Since these fat worms are nourished by the resentment of the dead and transformed into the most yin things by the essence and blood, I will give it a try with the garlic with the strongest yang energy. The old man hurriedly took it out of his arms
He took out the garlic and chewed it in his mouth together with the sprouts. It was so spicy that fire almost came out of his mouth. After chewing, the garlic turned into minced garlic. The old man raised his head and let out a loud roar before spitting out the garlic.
, it happened to spray onto the maggots that were flying towards them. The insects hit the garlic sprayed out by the old man and fell from the air. They twisted and rolled on the ground, making a piercing cry, struggling back and forth, and wisps of black
Smoke came out from the maggots, and in the end only the shriveled and crispy skin was left. The old man raised his feet and kicked the dry skin away on the ground. Onion was spicy in the nose, garlic was spicy in the heart, and after chewing a mouthful of garlic, the old man felt sweating all over his body.
His whole body was full of energy. The remaining maggots were afraid of the yang energy of the garlic on Old Master's body and did not dare to come near. They just roared in the distance. Old Master took advantage of the excitement after eating garlic and picked up the wooden stick on the ground.
Then he greeted the maggots, opened his bow left and right, and threw the maggots rushing in front into the wall. However, these maggots seemed not afraid of external attacks, and physical damage did not work. After being hit against the wall, their bodies bounced, and they rushed towards them roaring, like
He was so angry that he would explode if he didn't eat him alive. Although he saw a lot of garlic, it could only last for a while, and no one could bear to eat it without interruption. Those maggots took advantage of this juncture and pounced on him one after another.
Lao Zhenren, Lao Zhenren protected his head with all his strength. Those maggots were biting Lao Zhenren’s cotton-padded clothes and refused to let go, but they couldn’t do anything to him for a while. It was just that there were too many bugs and their strength was so great that they threw Lao Zhenren back.
When the old man saw that he was out of the insect siege, he ran towards the big four-open wooden door. As he ran, he used fire to roast the maggots that had bitten on his cotton-padded clothes. He was secretly glad that he had not been bitten by this poisonous thing."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh. I didn't expect that this real Jitai could resist these maggots for so long with a handful of garlic. Looking at his miserable appearance, I probably never want to meet them again in this life.
"The old man closed the wooden door tightly with his backhand, and the roaring sound of maggots could be heard incessantly. The rotten wooden door trembled from being hit, and sometimes sawdust flew up. He didn't dare to delay any longer. He just took a breath outside the door and wanted to go back the way he came. This death
In a lifetime, the old man's tense nerves were about to break. He stood up and wanted to leave, but found that he had chosen a way in a hurry. The door outside this door was not the wellhead where he came from. It was a secret passage, which was dark and depressing.
It was as if people couldn't feel their own existence. The old man bent his back and walked forward along the secret passage, but the further he walked, the more frightened he became. The secret passage was full of carrion and body parts. In some places, a road even needed to be cleared to pass, because
The secret passage may be connected to the ground, so it is extremely cold in the secret passage. The corpses and limbs are frozen hard, but there is not much corpse smell. The cold wind outside blows into the secret passage and makes a whistling sound, as if it is wandering here.
The wailing cry of the wronged soul makes people feel a kind of bitter resentment when they hear it. As he walked, the old man muttered: Die early and be reborn early, let's go. The old man walked numbly, no longer knowing how to describe his mood, anger has already
Diluted by the grievances of these deceased people. Looking at the lines of blood dragged out on the ground, the old master concluded that this was the exit where the maggots went out to capture strangers. The person who borrowed corpses to raise the insects must also enter and exit through this secret passage.
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't help but quicken my pace. I wanted to go back to get explosives and blow up this harmful cave. But I didn't expect that the secret passage was extremely long. I lost the accuracy of estimating time here. I just knew I was tired.
He rested against the pile of dead people for a while, and chewed a clove of garlic when it was cold. Finally, the old man felt that the air around him was getting colder and colder, and it seemed that he would soon reach the exit. The old man got out of the secret passage, and it was already dark.
It was clear, the snow had stopped long ago, and the vast land was covered with white. The night was covered with stars and moon, hiding the lifeless atmosphere.
In the deep wilderness. The old master looked up at the sky. Half a moon was in the sky. He calculated the time and found that it was west of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It should be around 23 o'clock in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, he spent most of the night in it. The old master took out a
I took a dry cigarette, sipped the paper with my lips, rolled it up, sat on the snow and started smoking. Listening to the wail of crows in the old trees in the distance, it was desolate and heartbreaking."
"Is this the end? Didn't Zhao Debiao's father come out?" I was still satisfied after hearing this.
"This Zhao Debiao's father has never shown his face from beginning to end."
"Yes, what happened next? What did your senior brother do?"
The fourth uncle sighed and said: "At that time, the old man was smoking while observing the nearby terrain. Looking into the distance, he could see the frozen river surface hitting like a sharp sword, and then turning sharply into the distance, forming an elbow shape.
The river flows, and there are a few wisps of dead grass growing sparsely on the hillside where the old man is located. A few dead trees in the distance are also covered with residual snow. The old man is very familiar with this hilly place. This is where the town used to be.
In mass graves, when a poor family dies and has no money to buy a coffin, they roll up a torn mat and carry it there, burn some paper money, and bury it. But in recent years, fewer people can't afford coffins, and the country has promoted cremation, so
This mass grave is a useless place. Because it is far away from human habitation, all the dead people used to be piled here. Sometimes when I row a boat on this fork of the river, I will see ghost fires floating on both sides of the river, which is very eerie. This place is haunted and people are missing.
There are many things going on. According to the old master's inference, this place was originally a place with extremely bad geomantic omen called the 'Suzaku Crying'. In addition, it was a mass grave, a place where Yin Qi condensed. Zhao Debiao's father dug a secret passage here to take the
The corpse is convenient and can act as a ghost, so it is extremely hidden. After all, no normal person would take a leisurely walk in the mass grave. This secret passage also dug a dry well in the town, which is convenient for abducting living people to extract blood for practicing martial arts, and it can also drive away those who
Maggots preyed on living people on the river bank and took advantage of the situation. After smoking a cigarette, the old man stood up and shrank his neck. The cotton clothes bitten by the maggots split into huge holes, and the cold wind couldn't stop pouring in. Along the river
If you keep walking, you will be able to return to the town. This road is extremely difficult to walk. Sometimes if you are not careful, you will fall into a snow-covered mass grave. If you step a little deeper, you will bring out a hand bone. After all, this is a barren mountain burial ground.
Not all of them are ‘loyal’.”
"The old man walked to the woods by the river, and by the starlight, he found a row of newly made footprints, twists and turns, and wondered who would be walking around on this mass grave in the middle of the night. Could it be Zhao Debiao?
His father's people? But the old man ignored the footprints in front of him. It would be better to return to the town as soon as possible. But the further he walked, the colder his heart became. If he had followed his own footsteps, he would have reached Najiang Chazi by now.
, but no matter how I walked, I would always go around and around in that area, and look at the snow under my feet, I had to step back and forth to create a small path."
"But the accident happened soon." The fourth uncle paused, "When the old man looked back, he found a familiar figure following him. The old man was frightened, he couldn't believe it, because
That was the person he trusted the most. No one would distrust his own flesh and blood. The old man looked at him with a pale face, and the corners of his mouth were trembling. He was full of anger in his heart, but he was more afraid. That person was not someone else.
, it was my senior brother, he seemed not to have participated in anything along the way, but it was him who made the old man fall into the abyss. The old man stumbled forward and shouted: "Why are you here? Here, here
Do you know everything? Senior brother laughed, and he could actually laugh at this time. You must know that his father had just experienced a narrow escape down there. The old man was furious and was about to slap him in the face. However, senior brother was not afraid at all and was cold.
He said coldly: Dad, we can't deal with them. With your skills, you are not even qualified to carry someone's shoes. What you just saw below is just someone who wants to try your methods, but it seems that you
It’s not too great. We have stayed in that mountain den for too long. How can we realize our great ambitions by ourselves? Do we just rely on the people in the mountains to worship the Bodhisattva every year and send some sesame oil? When the old man said this,
The hand that was originally raised did not fall down. The whole figure was like a deflated rubber ball, and he said dejectedly: Who are they? What do they want to do? The senior brother then said, it turns out that this Zhao Debiao's father is
The real culprit behind the 'Kowloon Corpse Revelation Array' had many disciples under his command, and they were doing great things. Originally, the old master and a few people accidentally ruined his good deeds. He planned to kill him, but after thinking about it,
Lao Zhenren has some tricks and wants to be recruited under his command. My senior brother was not willing to live in the mountains all his life. Even though he had the blood of Jitai Zhenren in his body, he still had his own ideas to complete his mission, so he immediately agreed to join. Zhao Debiao
His father also appreciates it very much and promises that as long as he can convince the old master, he can help them improve the art of returning Yang, so that the long-cherished wish of Master Jitai can be realized."
"But, they also put forward conditions, right?" I sneered, "How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
"That is to say, the condition is Pangu's heart."
"Is this what your senior brother told him?"
The fourth uncle shook his head and said: "I'm also wondering, how did Zhao Debiao's father know that Pangu's heart is in the hands of the real person Jitai? It's said to be accidental, but isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
At this time, I happened to lower my head and look at my own shadow below. Suddenly, an idea touched my nerves. I raised my head suddenly and said, "Could it be a shadow?"
"Shadow?" Jin Lei and Ruan Lina looked at me in surprise.
They don't know what the "shadow" represents, but this "shadow" may also exist in their hearts.
