Here Lies The Wicked

Chapter 87: The living and the dead

Views:

Fang Zheng under the tactical helmet in the costume,

It's all a lie to say you're not nervous.

I'm afraid that the wolves will suddenly find him, a strange creature mixed in...

So Fangzheng specially chose to sit in the corner of the stern.

However, it was obvious that Fangzheng was thinking too much.

Everyone is in uniform costumes, and even their faces are covered by props and helmets, so they can't see each other's facial features, and they don't know each other.

The other two passengers didn't keep their eyes on him at all, they sat motionless and silent.

Even the corpse fisherman, who was the boatman, always maintained the same posture with his eyes closed.

At this time, there were already three passengers on board, and there was only one vacant seat left. After waiting for about ten minutes, the fourth person appeared.

Touch the head of the prop master, and mourn for a second of silence for the prop master... The fourth person is also in a crew costume, and a boatload of "militants" is assembled like this.

Um

After practicing martial arts, Fangzheng's five senses are far more sensitive than ordinary people. He smelled a different smell on the boat... different from the sweaty smell of men's sweat glands, but the dark fragrance of sleeves, the fragrance of orchid smoke and cinnamon fragrance, the fourth place Is the passenger a girl

Fangzheng was startled.

Apparently, the other passengers also noticed this. The heads of the two under the tactical helmets turned slightly to the fourth passenger, and then turned away indifferently.

No contact at all.

Steady one.

Fang Zheng, who always kept in mind that he was a strange creature mixed in with the wolves, quickly pretended to be indifferent and turned his head away, no longer paying attention to that girl.

lest you expose yourself.

At this time, the number of people was full, and the corpse fisher, who had been sitting still on the bow, slowly stood up with a strong and tall body. Then without too much words, other passengers who are familiar with the rules began to pay the fare.

First of all, the two people sitting near the bow are the first to pay for the boat.

Fangzheng seems to be sitting quietly, but in fact, he has been paying attention to every move of the people around him, trying to disguise himself as deeply as possible, without showing any traces. Under the helmet of the props, he caught sight of the fare paid by the two of them out of the corner of his eye. They are all coins.

That is Yinde money.

As expected...Fang Zheng remained calm.

When the corpse hunter came up to Fangzheng, Fangzheng took the initiative to pay Mingbi.

There were no surprises throughout.

In the end, that girl also successfully paid for the boat.

Fangzheng has been squatting at the corpse collectors every day recently. To be honest, I have never seen any unscrupulous and stupid people who renege on their debts or refuse to pay the boat fare.

"I just don't know what will happen if I refuse to pay the fare and take the Bawang ship?"

Well, Fangzheng was just out of curiosity.

Afterwards, the corpse hunter began to prop up the boat pole, and the small wooden boat was about to leave the shore. However, at this moment, another figure approached in the dark, and it was another "militant" wearing a costume of the crew.

Fangzheng's heart tightened.

Could it be that these four people know each other, are they all friends

Then one more person appeared out of the four, and everyone knew what happened... Then he was exposed

Thinking of this, Fangzheng's muscles tensed up, and his nerves stretched into a line. If anything went wrong, he decided to fight straight away.

But fortunately, nothing happened. When they saw that the boat was full of four people, the visitor stopped.

After a moment of silence, this person turned into the dark night in another direction, and quickly disappeared from Fangzheng's vision.

call.

Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, only then did he realize that there was a little cold sweat secreting from his back.

But in the next second, Fang Zheng under the prop helmet looked at the direction where the fifth person disappeared. There seemed to be another lakeshore direction, not the direction of leaving Longtou Lake in the opposite direction. Is there any other way to cross the lake

Just as Fangzheng was thinking, the corpse fisher propped up the boat pole, and the small wooden sampan slowly rowed into the depths of Pinghu Lake under the thick white mist.

As the small wooden boat gradually left the shore, some strange movements around him began to attract Fang Zheng's attention.

Such as the whispering voices of many people, male voices and female voices, chanting strange scriptures, singing with strange scales... All these seem to form the devil's voice full of evil temptations, gently caressing the human body Every nerve and the string in the deepest part of the heart lure people's negative emotions little by little, ignite the dark world in the deepest part of the heart, and gradually fall into the deepest abyss of hell...

Fangzheng was startled, and immediately unfolded the "Magic Ape Meditation View". In an instant, his heart was like a mirror stand, keeping his spirit and not being polluted by evil.

When the mind regained its clarity, the whispering voices in the ear disappeared completely, and the spiritual martial arts continued to guard Fang Zheng's state of mind, free from external pollution.

After regaining clarity, Fangzheng found that in the calm lake under the boat, there were black shadows wandering past quickly like jellyfish with black smoke, and it seemed...all were ghost shadows.

And those small whispers that seemed to be whispered by many people before were made by the whispers of the dark shadows under the lake.

Under this lake...

They are all ghosts.

Fangzheng's two legs tightened. This small sampan boat, which doesn't look strong, probably capsized due to overloading, right

But this is not the key point, the dense ghosts under the lake did not notice these strangers, Fang Zheng glanced thoughtfully at the corpse hunter who was holding the boat pole.

The reason why corpse hunters were tabooed by everyone in ancient times, and later passed down as one of several evil professions, is precisely because there is a special group of corpse hunters, living and dead.

He is clearly a living person, but he has the appearance of a dead person.

Water is yin, and people who fall into the water and drown are basically people who died violently, and even more resentful. Therefore, the ancients were very feudal and superstitious, thinking that such people were the most likely to "make troubles" after death, and would often look for scapegoats in the water. In thousands of years of history, there are so many people who fell into the water and drowned. It is no exaggeration to say that people must have drowned in every river. So if you want to fish for corpses in this water, there are naturally many taboos. Later, among corpse hunters, a special group gradually appeared, the appearance of the living and the dead.

By eating dead human flesh and growing up, enduring the unbearable pain of ordinary people, eating it until he grows up and becomes an adult, when his body is dead, he can go places that living people can't go, and can get close to things that living people can't. Even ghosts can't see the corpse hunter. Because in the eyes of ghosts, only a dead person is seen.

When meeting Mr. Fu for the first time, Fangzheng specially searched for relevant content in many ways, including the introduction of living and dead people.

Of course, this is just a rumor among the people, a ignorant rumor and exaggeration of the ancients. If you eat dead human flesh, you will die from poison long ago. All kinds of super bacteria and corpse poison in the corpse can directly destroy a person's immune system.

Perhaps, this is another special constitution

Just like other awakened people, the corpse hunter in front of him has also awakened a special bloodline physique... Fangzheng has been thinking that the blue blood moon is not an exception, it reincarnates once every hundred years, and it has existed since ancient times.

Ancient "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes", "Sou Shen Ji"... all kinds of fox ghosts and immortals, ghost stories, ghost stories, etc., there are also Western legends of devils... Could it be that in ancient times, there were Are there awakened ones

In modern times, is it a supernatural being
