Chapter 78: Headless wooden statue

Views:

This is the second time that Uncle Fatty has scented the corpse scent, and the first is the scented corpse of Luo Dajin. That night, Luo Dajin wanted to steal the golden silkworm at night, so he dropped the incense of the corpse. I pierced the fat uncle with a knife, but he couldn't wake up, snoring loudly, and he slept more deeply than a pig.

Luo Dajin said that the main material of the corpse saliva incense is the saliva scraped from the corners of the dead's mouth, which is more powerful than the incense of returning the soul from the sound of five drums. After waking up, the Zhongshiyanxiang person does not have much side effects, does not have a headache, and is not aware of it, but only thinks that he is sleeping too heavily.

I walked up to Uncle Fatty and pinched his fingers with great strength. Uncle Fatty just turned over and didn't wake up. I became more and more sure that it was corpse scent.

The meal was sent by ephedra, and only the smell of corpse was put in the wine, indicating that he only wanted to put the fat uncle down. What is his purpose in doing this? I became alert, and the little white dog was infected with my anxiety, and also became alert.

I lowered my voice and shouted, "Golden Silkworm Gu, Golden Insect, where you hide, come out quickly. Something is going to happen..." I was shouting, and a sharp knife broke the paper window. Flew in.

It was nailed directly to the wooden beam, and a note was hung on the knife. I hurriedly pulled out the knife, and there was a line of small characters on the paper: Bring a black human skull, and come to Zhaikou so that no one would find it.

The handwriting is very sloppy, indicating that the writing was in a hurry.

My heart became more confused, how did the man know that there was a black skull in my back basket. What is his purpose for asking me to meet

I thought to myself, the person who put the corpse scent and put it on the fat uncle is most likely ephedra. If he wants to see me, he will come to me directly. Why use this kind of flying knife to spread the letter

He asked me to meet, why did he even want me to bring that human skull

I glanced at the fat uncle who was sleeping well, and then at the flowers and snow wrapped in rice dumplings. My curiosity grew stronger and stronger. At the last gritted teeth, I took out the black skull from the back basket and wrapped it in a piece of white cloth. , On your back.

I lifted the hatchet at the door, opened a gap, and looked outside the door. The two guards no longer knew where they were going. The little white dog slipped through the door lightly, and I paced out quietly, then closed the door quietly.

I carried the knife and trot all the way until I fell under a wall. Only then did I hear the voices of the two guards: "Did you see the dark shadow running over just now?" "I really convinced you. It's not a dark shadow at all, but a few night cats, suspicious. of."

I was surprised that the guards were not transferred away by ephedra, but dark shadows led them away. After they walked past, they returned to guard in front of the guest room of the ancestral hall.

I lowered my head and ran outside along the eaves. I met a few pedestrians on the road, and I stuck to the corner and hid. Soon, we arrived at the Zhaizikou.

The moon stretched out from the east, especially bright. A gust of mountain breeze blows, making him a little chilly. I hurriedly jumped behind a stone at the entrance of the stockade, holding a hatchet in my hand.

The little white dog followed me and suddenly called. I turned around hurriedly, and saw a short-cut man in black clasping his hands on a tree, a bit like a wild monkey in the mountain.

He hung his hands on the tree, he could clearly see every move at the village entrance, and he could see it as soon as I walked out. His face was covered with a black cloth and he couldn't see his appearance.

I hurriedly picked up the little white dog, covered its mouth, and then asked in a low voice: "Who are you, the flying knife sent me a letter to call me here, for what?"

The man in black did not answer me, but asked, "Did you bring the human skull?"

I turned around slightly and said, "What about my back?"

The man in black loosened his hands, jumped from the tree, landed safely on the ground, and shouted: "Follow me into the hole!" He moved very quickly, making almost no sound when he landed, and then ran quickly.

The moon was shining brightly, and the whole steps were shining brightly. I followed him and jumped down the steps. Finally, the man in black stopped in front of the corpse cave and stood there waiting for me for a while.

When I reached the entrance of the cave, the man in black lit the torch placed at the entrance of the cave. This is the torch that has not been burned after coming out of the corpse cave in the afternoon. It is put here after being put out.

He lit the torch and gave me a stick, still without a word, leading the way. I have been here during the day, but I can keep up without any hassle.

Soon, I arrived at the place where the scorpions gathered. The man in black stopped his steps and asked me: "Will a scorpion bite you?"

I shook my head and said, "I won't bite me. Even if I bite me, I don't have any reaction. Anyway, the poison won't kill me."

The man in black nodded: "That's good, I'm still wondering if I should carry you on my back, you can go by yourself."

The man in black drank, the scorpions scattered one after another, quickly passed the group of scorpions, then looked back at me, and shouted: "Are you a timid person? You are all chasing here, don't you dare to come in?"

I snorted coldly and yelled: "I am Scorpion Wang Xiaokang, you scorpions who do not have long eyes, let the little grandfather go away." I snorted, holding the little white dog with one hand and walking inside. .

When I settled down, two scorpions couldn't dodge and were directly trampled to death by me. The rest of the scorpions quickly dispersed. The man in black couldn't help but nodded, and praised: "It looks a little bit, amazing!"

The man in black shouted again: "Look how fast you can run, don't let me down!" As soon as the voice fell, he accelerated his speed, the torch shook, and fire ash fell from time to time.

I put the little white dog down: "I know you are not afraid of scorpions, get up and running!" The little white dog gave a cry of joy and ran happily. I held the torch and chased it up.

The more you go inside the corpse cave, the more rocks there will be, and the road is cratered. The man in black jumped from this stone to another, avoiding the scorpion easily.

I could barely catch up, but after a while, I felt short of breath and gasped. It seemed that my physique was not good enough.

The road in the cave suddenly turned, and a ninety-degree turn came. The man in black supported on the rock with one hand, jumped up immediately, stood on the rock with a torch, and looked at me condescendingly: "You are too slow. After running for a while, I was out of breath. We need to strengthen our physical fitness... Otherwise, we can't bear the title of Scorpion King."

I was curious. So far, the man in black seems to have no harm to me, and he also asked me to strengthen my physical fitness. Who is this person? Is it ephedra

I gasped, and it took a while to relieve myself, and said, "Thank you, seniors, for your advice. I will definitely work out after I go back."

The man in black turned around and walked into the corpse cave again: "Don't thank me, you will be inside soon after you come in."

I followed, and soon smelled a faint burning fragrance and the smell of sesame oil.

When I walked in, there was a shrine on the side of the cave. There was a black wooden statue on the shrine, wearing black clothes. The only pity was that there was no skull on the wooden statue.

The workmanship of the wooden statue is exquisite, and he is sitting on the wooden chair majesticly, and he can feel the blue veins on his arm.

He is a burly man, but his head is missing. I don't know if it was chopped off, or when the wooden statue was made, the head was not engraved, just to make a headless wooden statue.

In front of the shrine, the incense was burning with white smoke, and the oil lamp beside it was also burning quietly. I walked in and took a look, and just in front of the wooden statue, there was a black spiritual position with ten characters written on it: the spiritual position of Lord Eun Gong Luo Doudou.

I was surprised and hurriedly asked the man in black, "Is this a wooden statue of Lord Luo Doudou? Who are you?"

The man in black laughed and untied the black cloth on his face. It was Ephedra. He bowed with both hands and his body was slightly forward. He respectfully said: "Ephedra pays respects to the benefactor’s apprentice, and the benefactor finally has a heir. happy."

Needless to say, this headless wooden statue was carved in accordance with Lord Luo Doudou's physique and placed here.

I almost guessed that the man in black is Ephedra, but when he uncovered the black cloth, I was still a little surprised, and said hurriedly: "Uncle Ephedra, you don't have to be so polite... When did you know that I was Master Luo Doudou? The descendant..."

Ma Huang said: "This afternoon, when you showed the picture of the scorpion on your arm, I knew that you were a disciple of Grace. Later in the Scorpion Cave, you can easily and naturally place the big scorpion, which proves that you are A disciple of Grace."

I was a little surprised: "Can a big scorpion prove it?"

Ephedra said: "It is not an ordinary scorpion. It is the scorpion king in this corpse cave. It was also given to me by graciousness. If most people touch its back, they will definitely be stung. But you are not stung. , You can see that you are different."

My head thought quickly. It seems that Mahuang brought us to Xiezidong not to test who tells the truth and who is telling Ye Xi, but to determine if I am a descendant of Lord Luo Doudou.

I nodded and said, "Since you know that I'm the descendant of Lord Luo Doudou and want to talk to me, why do you have to draw me here without letting outsiders notice it?"
