When all the ten ghosts returned to the wine jar, the tomb where Bai Liu was located finally made the sound of the mechanism twisting, and the bottom of the tomb sank suddenly. After a few loud rumblings, in the cracks of the tomb. There was a lot of smoke and dust.
The light of the candlestick held in Bai Liu's hand suddenly dimmed.
Everything around was wrapped in thick smoke. Bai Liu heard the sound of the jar gurgling on the ground, and a few touched his feet, crumbled and cracked, making a crackling sound.
Now Bai Liu estimated that all the ghosts in the partial tomb had been released.
The ghosts with corpses, or more precisely, the corpses crawled in the thick smoke, and from time to time, a face without facial features was sniffed from the smoke.
Some ghosts had two blood-red slits in their eyes, and bloodshot eyeballs rolled around in their eye sockets, seeming to be looking for the white willows in the darkness of smoke and dust, and then crawled to the place where the light was bright.
Bai Liu exhaled and blew out the candlestick in his hand. Everything was plunged into darkness, and nothing was seen.
He could feel that the tomb was sinking slowly. He didn't know when it would stop. From time to time, there were wet hair and hands and feet running over Bailiu's back and ankles. He felt the smell of breath coming from his ears and his tongue was constantly coming. The slippery, sticky sound of licking something.
The feeling of coldness kept approaching Bai Liu, and those corpses seemed to be relying on sniffing to find Bai Liu hidden in the dark.
Bai Liu stepped back two steps. He pressed against the wall, took off his coat calmly and soaked in the flowing corpse water on the ground, and then wrapped his lower/half/body with this coat soaked in corpse water. An empty wine jar that had been crawled away by a ghost put it on his head in turn, and then shrank in the corner and held his breath.
The strong smell of corpses covers the smell of Bai Liu. The smell of these ghosts in the dark seems to be a lot smaller. Correspondingly, their crawling sounds become more and more frequent. Bai Liu can hear jars and broken tiles from time to time. The sound of flakes being planed.
The tomb seemed to be about to sink to a fixed position, and it began to make a rattling sound.
Bai Liu could feel a ghost approaching him, and after sniffing it twice near the mouth of the jar, he left again.
Of course, some did not leave.
Bai Liu looked down through the mouth of the wine jar. From a narrow field of vision, he could vaguely see a pair of wet white feet standing on the ground near him, still dripping with water.
Bai Liu slowly turned the wine jar on his head toward the wall, trying to avoid the corpse standing in front of him, but as he turned, his feet slowly tipped up and walked in the direction that Bai Liu turned. .
In the end it became again. The toes were facing the white willow wearing the wine jar, and it was a little closer.
Bai Liu paused subtly. He remembered the explanation of the right toes in "Maoshan Witchcraft".
When the ghost puts its toes at you, it means to go up/your body, or to follow you home and live with you, so there is a saying that you can’t put your shoes on the bed at night because it will make the ghost step on On your shoes, on your bed, sleep with you.
There are so many ghosts here, only this one is persistently guarding Bailiu here.
Wouldn't it be that I wanted to live with him... Bai Liu glanced at the wine jar he was using.
The legs standing in front of Bai Liu slowly bent down and squatted in front of Bai Liu.
Bai Liu could see the position below his shoulders. This thing hugged his knees with his hands, and was quiet for a while, then the joints began to deform, his head twisted 120 degrees, and his entire head tilted and looked up from under the mouth of the jar into the jar. The white willows have black eyes.
It pointed to the jar on the white willow head, and it made a strange gurgling noise in its throat, like a person talking in the water:
"This is my... jar, your jar, how about it?"
The tomb finally sank to the bottom, and there was a heavy earthquake. The tomb fell to a new place. The front door opened and a dark corridor appeared.
Bai Liu moved quickly to remove the wine jar on his head and put it on the head of the ghost in front of him: "I just borrowed it, and I will return it to you now."
After speaking, Bai Liu turned and rushed towards the corridor without turning his head back.
The ghosts spotted Bai Liu, a running human, and screamed, crawling on the wall to chase after him.
The corpses behind are also crawling very fast. If there is light, Bai Liu will be able to see the afterimages of these corpses flipping their hands and feet.
At the moment when these ghosts were about to chase Bai Liu, Bai Liu took off his close-fitting clothes, threw it in the front direction, and then suddenly turned sideways and turned into a passageway opened by the side of the corridor.
The ghosts behind are chasing them, but it seems that in the dark these ghosts rely on their sense of smell to chase the strangers. Bai Liu hides in the side corridor and feels the ghosts running past him, and they smell like him. The undershirt ran away.
Bai Liu breathed lightly. He watched the corpses swell up and piled into white flowers at the position of their clothes, their teeth creaking.
The sound of clothes being torn to pieces soon sounded in the corridor.
The piled up corpses scattered. One of the corpses raised a wine jar. They seemed to put scattered pieces of clothes into the wine jar as white willow corpses. The paper was sealed, and then turned and crawled back with the wine jar.
Obviously, they thought that they had made the white willow the next ghost, and they were going to take it back to feed the [tiger].
Bai Liu raised his eyebrows slightly.
These ghosts act so well that they can tear up the "human flesh" of their mouths and put them in a jar. They don't seem to be guided by irrational ghosts, but they seem to have been deliberately trained by living people.
But in this tomb full of ghosts, in Yinshan Village where the last descendants were drowned, besides these four returning home, what else would be alive
Bai Liugang was about to poke his head out to see where these ghosts were about to send the wine jar with "self" to them, but he was tightly covered with a dark hand that suddenly stretched out beside him.
"Don't look back!" someone warned in a hoarse voice, "something is coming to clean the ground!"
Bai Liu did not move obediently.
Soon, a few paper people who were only half of Bai Liu's height appeared. These paper people were grinning, with smiles on their faces turned into ink. Holding a paper broom in their hands, they swept back and forth around the place where Bai Liu's clothes were torn. After a few laps, the movements were rigid and rigid, and then they disappeared again.
After the paper man left, he took a long breath of relief while covering Bai Liu's nose, but he still held Bai Liu's throat and did not move, his body was very tight.
Bai Liu calmly took out a match and struck it, lit the candlestick, and raised it to illuminate the person: "Mu Sicheng, why are you here?"
Mu Sicheng’s face was all dirty with dirt, there were blood stains around the corners of his mouth and eyes, and a lot of color was hung on his body. At first glance, he experienced a fierce battle. He fixedly looked at Bai Liu for a while, his gaze After looking at Bai Liu's shadow on the ground, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, let go of the hand that was holding Bai Liu's throat, and leaned against the wall limply.
"It's really you Bailiu." Mu Sicheng's chest was ups and downs violently, and his eyes disappeared. "... I thought I would save another ghost."
Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng from top to bottom: "What happened to you?"
"Don't mention it." Mu Sicheng was depressed and frightened, he squatted on the ground and said with his own heart, "You don't know where I went, I followed the fake white willow to carry the coffin, and I walked across a bridge on the road. The fake white willow let me walk over."
"But that bridge is actually made of paper!"
"The bridge is full of ghosts carrying coffins, some weird paper figures, and some translucent ones. I can only vaguely see the physical objects, which are dark and floating in the water. Duckweed, black hair and paper money, I guess it won’t come up as soon as they fall."
Mu Sicheng's face was dark and dark: "According to what you said, I held my breath and didn't vomit, almost didn't suffocate me to death, but anyhow it passed, and then circled around, my head was fainted, and I arrived at a tomb. , Said it is connected to the main tomb."
"This time the tomb is full of coffins, and they are standing coffins. There are more than 30 coffins, with red satin tied on them, and they are arranged in a shape like a formation around the middle. I can't remember."
Mu Sicheng frowned and recalled: "The fake white willow asked me to choose a coffin to carry it out. Didn't you let me follow the ghost? So I chose a back that I can move."
"I just carried the coffin out of the second tomb. The coffin was a bit slippery. When it fell down, I turned it upside down. But I was afraid of offending the corpse in the coffin. I said I'm sorry. Coffin, please forgive me. As a result, as soon as I finished speaking, a woman’s laughter came from the coffin behind me, and the coffin was knocked twice."
Bai Liu recalled: "That seems to mean giving orders to ghosts, right?"
"Yes!" Mu Sicheng stood up angrily, making Bai Liu look at the satin red flower hanging on his waist: "After the coffin rang twice, suddenly a lot of ghosts and that The fake white willows pressed my head together and put a big red flower on me, insisting that I marry the bride in the coffin!"
Bai Liu smiled but didn't smile: "Then you ended up?"
Mu Sicheng stubbornly shook his head: "No! When the ghosts were setting up the Xitang, I beat the ghosts indiscriminately, and then ran out."
"In other words, you ran away from marriage?" Bai Liu nodded and smiled, "The other party really likes you. He chose you to be a wishful man. You can't even refuse to say and ran away. This is not good." Bar?"
"No!" Mu Sicheng roared, "She didn't really like me so she wanted to marry me!"
Mu Sicheng clenched his fists and shook his hands with anger: "You don't understand at all. I am not only going to marry the bride on my back, but also with the whole tomb, all, 30 brides!! "
