The fake Zhao Jie soon became a skeleton, but those black beetles still had no intention of letting everyone go. Approaching step by step, he continued to crawl forward with a piercing sound.
The surrounding circle became smaller and smaller, and everyone slowly moved closer together, for fear that if they were not careful, they would become the next target and be eaten alive by these things.
I hugged Xiaobai, my palms were full of cold sweat, I stared at those black beetles, I was afraid that Master would also become that pile of bones, and I was afraid that I would also become that pile of bones in the end.
But after a stalemate like this for a while, I didn't see these black beetles continue to bite anyone. These black beetles stopped at the same place at first, and then they kept retreating as if they were frightened. None of them dared to stay, and they all scattered to the corners and disappeared.
I was wondering why all these black beetles had run away, and Chen Laosan pointed to the coffin that was opened on the side, and said in a trembling voice, "Cheat, cheat, scam the corpse!"
I leaned against the rock wall and looked over, feeling a chill all over my body. Every hair stood on end, staring at the person crawling out of the coffin.
To be precise, it should be a zombie. The body has turned blue, the mouth is open, a little frightening.
I read it in the ancient books that my master gave me. I originally thought that things like zombies were a long time ago. With the progress of the times and the deduction of civilization, zombies have long been extinct like those ancient creatures. And now, in front of me is a living zombie.
The legendary zombies are immortal, immortal, and immortal. There are four types of zombies: Yinggou, Houqing, Hanba and Jiangchen. Among them, the generals sucked human blood, so the zombies that are often mentioned in people's mouths are the descendants of the generals.
No one knows whether the zombies in ancient times really existed or were invented by later generations. There are only one or two sentences mentioned in the book, and there is not much introduction. It only shows that there are mostly zombies in the Qing Dynasty, and many Taoist priests tried their best to expel zombies, and they became famous for a while.
As for the method of expelling zombies, there is no detailed discussion. Because now, zombies are extinct, and the inheritance of Taoism is gradually broken. There are very few Taoists with real skills like my master.
I looked at the zombies in front of me. They didn't look like people from the Ming Dynasty or Qing Dynasty. It's a bit like people in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. It shouldn't be considered a wealthy family, otherwise it wouldn't be placed in this cave. Not even a stone monument was erected.
Today's zombies are mostly formed due to the accumulation of resentment and corpse energy. This zombie is only a few decades old at most, so it is unlikely to form a zombie. Because of the formation of zombies, at least it will take a hundred years.
I even have some doubts whether this is a zombie or not. At this moment, Chen Laosan couldn't help but the shotgun in his hand was loaded at some point, and it went off, and with a bang, the bullet quickly penetrated the zombie's body.
The zombie seemed to be enraged by Chen Laosan's actions, and his feet moved a lot faster. He raised his hands and walked towards Chen Laosan.
Master hurriedly took out the blue rune and gave it to Chen Laosan, Guo Zishu and Zhao Jie. "Keep it!"
Ono Jiro grabbed his master's collar and asked, "What about mine? It's not that easy for you to kill us! If you don't give me the talisman, I'll kill you right now! At worst, we will die together!"
The master lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Jiro Ono, took out a few yellow talismans from his pocket, and gave one to each of Jiro Ono's men.
Zhao Jie stared at the yellow talisman in Ono Jiro's hand and smiled softly, "Ono-kun, put it away! This thing is from Master Sun, and it can exorcise evil spirits and keep you safe. Others want it, but they don't have it!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll lure this thing away in a while, and you all get out!" Master shouted sharply.
"Go? No, no, no! I haven't got my things yet!" Zhao Jie shook her head and refused.
Ono Jiro waved his hands again and again, "I haven't found the Taiping treasure yet, and I won't leave here! If you don't take me to find the treasure today, none of you will leave!"
The master completely ignored what the two said, and only said to Guo Zishu and Chen Laosan, "If you have a chance, get out, this place is too evil, and we are the only ones who might not be able to get that thing."
Guo Zishu understood Master's meaning, nodded, and took out the dagger at his waist. Suddenly his eyes tightened, "Master Sun, be careful!"
My whole heart was in my throat when I shouted. When Chen Laosan saw the zombie rushing, he hurriedly turned around and hid at the entrance of the small cave on the other side. The door flew away.
The distance between Master and it is only four or five meters. The two outstretched hands have white, hard and long nails, like small sharp knives. Once stabbed, they can penetrate human skin immediately , blood flowing.
I was worried about Master, so I couldn't help but instinctively walked out from behind the rock, and shouted, "Master!"
It was this shout that distracted Master.
The zombie jumped straight at the master, and the fingernails scratched the back of the master's hand. The master stuck the yellow talisman on the zombie's body, and immediately stopped the thing in its tracks.
"Little Hibiscus!" The master suddenly ran towards me regardless of the wound on his hand, hugged me and rolled on the ground a few times. When I stopped, I realized that there was an inexplicable wave just behind the place where I just stood. The feeling of pressure comes from an unknown soul.
I felt creepy for a moment, and said in surprise, "Master, what is this?"
"It should be the soul of the zombie! The zombie is just a cover. This coffin can only temporarily seal its body, but not its soul. Remember the corpse breath I told you?"
I nodded and suddenly realized.
Ghosts are mostly formed because of lingering resentment at the beginning. And the physical body will also slowly form corpse energy because of this resentment. Corpse energy nourishes corpses, nourishes yin and evil things, and naturally nourishes resentful souls. The two complement each other, and it's no wonder that the physical body quickly becomes a zombie.
"The soul has not disappeared, and the body has not disappeared. It is very rare for a person to form two separate forms of soul and body. This soul can control zombies. Just now when the two Japanese opened the coffin, they released this resentful soul. I fell into an illusion, thinking that the coffin contained gold and silver treasures.” Master stood up, pulled me behind him, and explained.
Zhao Jie sneered, "This is all caused by human greed, and death is not a pity. Ohno-kun, to tell you the truth, Shao Zuo Guteng also opened one of the coffins because of his constant persuasion. By the way, it is the one in the middle." , The opening I just opened. The contents inside have been removed by the accompanying Taoist priests. Of course, the price is also huge. It is luck that I escaped by chance.
Well now, now that we only have such a few people, I am afraid that we will have no more luck. "
Ono Jiro's face was pale, and he was already huddled in the corner in fright. In the face of resentful souls and zombies, how could he know what to do. The little bit of greed just now disappeared completely because of Zhao Jie's words. Even if the Taiping Treasure is in front of him now, he doesn't want it anymore. If you have the treasure and lifeless flower, why do you need it
I secretly sighed in my heart, what Zhao Jie said was right, the most terrifying thing in this world is human desire and greed, without these, maybe there would be no such thing as today.
It's just that since it happened, now it's the only way to solve it. If we can't solve it, then we are on a dead end. But looking at the situation in front of me, I think the chances of a dead end are higher.
At this time, the person next to Ono Jiro let out a cry of pain as if he was going crazy, but he was not attacked by anything, his eyes were red, his hands kept holding his head, and he squatted on the ground hoarsely. Shouted for a full minute.
This shout startled everyone. My nerves hesitated involuntarily, and the next moment, the man foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.
Master stretched out his hand to touch his neck, shook his head, "I'm so scared to death!"
"It's just courageous, but you still want to find the treasure, heh!" Zhao Jie said disdainfully.
Guo Zishu couldn't understand Zhao Jie's appearance, "You've got it, and you still have the nerve to criticize others. If it weren't for you, would we have ended up in this situation? You have been here once, and you must know how to deal with this thing and how to get out. Damn bitch, you don't even care about your own people, do you?"
"My own people?" Zhao Jie carefully recalled these three words, grinned, nodded, and looked at Master, "That's right, we are our own people, right, Master Sun. So it shouldn't be a problem to leave these to you no!"
Master wanted to say yes, but he opened his mouth and raised his hand to look at the back of his hand. The place scratched by the zombie was already red and swollen. Only then did I realize that Master planted zombie poison.
"Master, how are you?" I blamed myself and said nervously.
"It's okay, I won't be able to save my life for the time being, so don't worry. Xiao Jin, do you have the gossip I gave you?"
I nodded hastily, "Yes, Master!"
"I can't use Taoism. Once I use it, the zombie's poison will flow along my blood and enter my internal organs. Xiaojin, these things are terrible, but no matter how powerful they are, they can't beat people. As long as the heart is firm , they dare not do anything to you! Do you remember what Master said?"
"remember!"
"Okay, then, I'll leave it to you!"
I was a little dazed, and asked again very unconfidently, "Leave it to me? But Master, I, I don't know anything!"
"In the past two years, you have learned enough!"
This time, Zhao Jie shouted dissatisfiedly, "Master Sun, the person who was here back then was a descendant of the Wang family of your Daoist sect. His Daoism is no worse than yours. He even lost his life here. Now you put us like this!" Many people's lives were handed over to a half-sized baby, are you kidding me!"
The master looked gloomy and looked at Zhao Jie, "I'm not kidding, I believe in Xiao Jin! Xiao Jin, you have to have confidence in yourself, and it's impossible for Master to protect you forever. Everything has a beginning. Today is a good time to let Master, let's see what you have realized in the past two years."
I am very conflicted in my heart. On the one hand, I don’t want Master to be disappointed. On the other hand, after hearing Zhao Jie’s words, I’m really afraid. joke.
But Master's gaze was firm, I finally gritted my teeth and nodded vigorously.
The author has something to say: I didn’t update yesterday due to physical reasons, sorry!
The weather is hot and cold, little angels should also pay attention to their bodies.
Little hibiscus is also starting to grow slowly,
For the daughter-in-law, for the master, bravely fight demons and goblins!
