Not alive? Is that a ghost
Although I have read countless ghosts, I still feel a little hairy, and my small body rubs hard against Zhou Tong and Master Liu, Zhou Tong smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, don't you have a guy in your hand, even if it is that big black snake? When the spirit comes, I have to be afraid of you.”
I nodded, but I didn't want to move away from Master Liu and Zhou Tong at all. Master Liu took the lamp and lit it forward. There was nothing abnormal outside the dark door. I held the flashlight in my hand and swayed to the ground. After a while, I can only see the traces of one of the larger stones being removed, and then some messy footprints, which of course should all be left by us.
After a while, I said, "Father, did we remember it wrong? Maybe someone accidentally touched the stone when we came in."
Master Liu said, "That green stone is so big that even if we kick it, it won't be able to be kicked away. Who will move it? Look at the ground carefully and count the footprints of people. ."
There is a lot of dust in this passage, and it is easy for us to leave footprints when we step on it. The four of us wear different shoes. Master Liu and I both wear cloth shoes, and Master Ge and Zhou Tong wear leather shoes.
The shoe prints on cloth shoes are easy to identify, but there are no lines on the prints. Master Liu and I are one small and one big, and there are no other shoe prints on cloth shoes.
The leather shoes of Master Ge and Zhou Tong have different patterns on the soles, which means that there will be two kinds of leather shoes, but I observed carefully on the ground for a while and found that there are three kinds of new shoes with patterns, which means there are three kinds of shoes. three people".
I took a deep breath and said, "There's another one in leather shoes."
Master Liu said with an "um", "But the person wearing leather shoes is not angry, and it is likely that he has been dead for a long time."
I let out a soft "ah" and then asked Master Liu, "Is that a ghost wearing leather shoes?"
Master Liu scolded lightly: "Have you ever seen a ghost with a real body? Do ghosts leave shoe prints?"
"That's what?" I was a little confused.
At the end, Master Ge said without abruptly: "It might be a zombie."
"Zombie!?" I was stunned. I've only heard adults say this when they scare people, but it's all rumors, and it's also seen on TV. We have never heard of this thing. .
So this term was relatively unfamiliar to me when Master Ge said it.
Master Liu briefly explained it to me and said: "It's a corpse that changes, a corpse that can walk. It is generally formed because after the two souls of heaven and earth have left, the soul of life reunites with the body due to some chance, resulting in the corpse rising. Because without the cooperation of the two souls of heaven and earth, the soul of life cannot perfectly merge with the body, resulting in the mutation of the body, thus forming a zombie; at the same time, because the body is already dead, so a zombie is also a kind of creature that can be immortal, as long as there is no external force to destroy it , it can exist for thousands or even tens of thousands of years."
I couldn't help but say: "Isn't this immortal?"
Master Liu nodded and said: "Some Taoist alchemists once practiced themselves into zombies because of their pursuit of immortality. However, because zombies are bloodthirsty and cruel, they often do things that hurt the world and the law. , so this technique was quickly listed as a taboo method by Taoism, and now it has been lost."
Thinking of myself as a zombie makes me feel sick. I can't help but shudder and start looking around to see if there is anything similar to a zombie.
In fact, at that time, I didn't have a general appearance of a zombie in my mind. I took it for granted that it was a guy with hair all over his body, horns, a ferocious face, and fangs.
This kind of thinking was really terrifying for me at that time.
We stopped in place for a while, and there was no movement outside. Master Liu said, "I'll go out first, you all follow slowly, and pay attention to the movement around you."
We slowly climbed over the broken bluestone gate, and there was nothing unusual, so the four of us breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then looked at the intact stone gate, and there were signs of being opened, and we were just relieved. , as if being sucked back again.
The tense atmosphere was shrouded in this dark underground passage again.
Zhou Tong's expression seemed a little unnatural, so he asked Master Liu: "Master Liu, you have experience in dealing with zombies. What level is this zombie that can unlock locks? Are you wise?"
Master Liu also swallowed and said, "Bai Zong, Black Zombie, and Jumping Corpse have all been dealt with, but even the most powerful jumping corpse is just a little bit wise, and it shouldn't be able to unlock..."
At this time, Master Ge also sweated the steamed bread and said, "That's the flying corpse..."
Zhou Tong just laughed dryly and said, "If it's a flying corpse, then we should go home. We people, in such a narrow tomb, don't we mean to die?"
I don't understand the classification of zombies, but through their conversations, I know that the flying corpse is much more powerful than the three they mentioned earlier.
So I asked, "Is this flying corpse the most powerful zombie? Can it fly?"
Master Liu said, "No, there are two types of '魃' and 'Zombie King' on top of the flying corpse. The flying corpse is not called flying because it can fly, but because it jumps fast and moves like lightning, so it is called a flying corpse. Flying corpse, if what is in this tomb is really a flying corpse, I can barely handle it, but if I am afraid that it is a monster like '魃', I am afraid that it will be no match without adequate preparation!"
When Master Ge heard Master Liu's words, he couldn't help but ask "Ah", "Quail Liu, what level has your skill reached? How dare you brag about Haikou to clean up '魃' you were a Celestial Master at that time?"
Zhou Tong was also surprised and asked: "Master Liu, when you don't give out bragging rights at this time, if you rush forward, I'm afraid we will all become short-lived ghosts."
When I heard that people would die, I was naturally scared and said, "Foster father, why don't we go in?"
Master Liu took a deep breath and said, "Lao Ge, if you talk about my nickname, I won't bother with you. Besides, Lao Ge and Zhou Tong, when did I do something I'm not sure about? Well, I promise you now that if we encounter flying corpses, the three of us will definitely be able to take it away, but if we encounter '魃', we will be no match, and I still have the ability to withdraw safely."
Zhou Tong added: "Master Liu, don't forget there is a snake spirit."
Master Ge also said, "That's right, in addition, there may be a guy who knows witchcraft in this tomb. We don't know whether he is an enemy or a friend..."
Master Liu was also stunned for a moment, obviously he was actually struggling in his heart.
I watched Master Liu embarrassed, and I couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. Master Liu was trying to save my good friend You Xiaoqing this time, so I said, "Foster father, in this way, I will accompany you in, a manly man, the big deal is death, for the sake of Save people and die, spread it out, I am also a hero."
My little hero's heart was somehow ignited.
Hearing my words, Master Liu couldn't help but smiled and said: "It's not a good son of mine, okay, okay, what's the mystery in this tomb? I, Liu Chunan, have to make it clear to him today. ."
After speaking, Master Liu took out two soul-suppressing talismans and pasted one on the walls on both sides of the Qingshimen.
Afterwards, Master Liu said to Zhou Tong and Master Ge, "If you two are worried about the existence of '魃' in it, you don't have to go in."
When Master Liu said this, Zhou Tong smiled again: "Forget it, isn't my Zhou Tong's courage better than a child?"
Master Ge also shook his head and said, "Okay, Liu Laodao, the worst thing in my life is to meet you."
After attaching the soul-suppressing charm, I asked Master Liu how to open the door, and Master Liu said, "No matter how complicated the ancient lock mechanism is, it is nothing more than a key that pushes the spring/leaf, as long as we find the position of the spring/leaf from the keyhole , just push it away with something, it's not difficult, Zhou Tong will have a solution."
Zhou Tong smiled, took out a mini flashlight, then took out the hooks for two posts, crawled on the ground and started fiddling with the two keyholes.
Looking at the mini flashlight, I immediately wanted to say to Zhou Tong: "You give me that small flashlight, and I will return the mini compass to you..."
Of course, I won't really say these words, although the small flashlight is more cute, but I also know that the small flashlight can't escape ghosts, and my mini compass may be.
Zhou Tong fiddled with the ground for a while, and the bluestone door rang with a "click", and immediately staggered a fist-wide gap.
Zhou Tong stood up and pushed the stone gate, and the stone gate was pushed open "gurulu" immediately.
Then Zhou Tong took a small flashlight and shook it inside and said, "Master Liu, I'm still taking the lead. You have to follow me closely. I can deal with the mechanism in the tomb, but dealing with zombies is not my specialty."
Master Liu said: "Don't worry, as long as you guarantee that I will not be shot to death by the agency, I will guarantee that you will not be bitten to death by zombies."
Zhou Tong added: "It's not okay to bite."
Master Liu smiled and said, "Got it."
These casual chats were naturally meant to relax our minds, but after a few small chats, we fell into silence, and each of us knew that we would face real danger next, because the one in the cemetery Dangerous mysteries are getting closer.
As we walked, we noticed the fresh leather shoe print on the ground. It happened to be a back and forth, which means that the thing did come out once and returned to the tomb.
After walking a few more steps, Master Liu suddenly said: "Zhou Tong, Lao Ge, have you noticed that the shoe prints on the ground are side by side, which means that it is jumping, at most it is a flying corpse, it can't be a '魃' '."
Zhou Tong and Master Ge nodded at the same time.
Then Master Liu said: "Even a flying corpse will take at least a few hundred years to form, but how can it wear leather shoes?"
