When Master Liu said there was blood, Master Ge and Zhou Tong did not come to see it immediately, but asked Master Liu if it was new.
Master Liu shook his head and said, "No, it's been a few years, these blood stains have dried up, and some of them have soaked in the stones, and they look blurry. If you don't look carefully, you might think it's dirt."
Zhou Tong asked, "Could it be that these Taoists were left behind before they died?"
Master Liu said it was possible, and then continued to observe the blood stains, as if trying to find something out of them.
Zhou Tong and Master Ge also continued to search carefully on the other side.
After another minute or so, Zhou Tong said, "Master Liu, how far do you think he can jump from a corpse?"
Master Liu said: "Ordinary people have the size of their steps, but they move very quickly, which is difficult to deal with."
Zhou Tong asked again, "What about the flying corpse?"
Master Liu said, "It's common to go up to the house, go up a tree, and go up to ten meters, so it's even more difficult to deal with..."
Halfway through Master Liu’s words, he picked up the flashlight and pointed it at the wall and the top of the tomb. When I asked Master Liu what he was looking for, he said, “The one in leather shoes!”
Like Master Liu, there are also Master Zhou Tong and Master Ge. Their flashlights also shined on the wall and the top of the tomb at the same time. As a result, the dozen or so skeletons hanging from the top of the tomb were clearly displayed in my field of vision.
I even felt that the huge and hollow eyes of those skeletons were staring straight at me, and I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back, but now Master Liu and their lights are all shining on the roof, and my whole body is relatively dark, so I feel a little I dare not look back.
At this moment, I suddenly saw the body of one of the Taoist priests "creak" and moved, and then a black shadow jumped behind the slanted screen with a "boom".
Master Liu said "Be careful", and then holding the peach wood sword, he also rushed towards the screen. Master Ge also followed, and Zhou Tong leaned on my side and blocked me. I was instantly relieved. A lot. Zombies want to eat people. If you eat Zhou Tong, you should be full, right
When he got to the screen, Master Liu ripped it open, but the shadow had long since disappeared, and then he heard Master Liu say, "There is a secret passage here."
Zhou Tong immediately walked over with me in his arms, and sure enough, behind the screen was a secret passage that was more than half a person tall. Master Liu and the others had to lean on their waists to enter, but I didn't need it.
After passing by, Zhou Tong asked, "Did that thing go into this hole?"
Master Liu nodded, and Zhou Tong then asked, "Is that the jumping corpse?"
Master Ge smiled bitterly and said, "Zhou Tong, don't numb yourself. It's not a jumping corpse, it's a flying corpse. That speed is not something that a jumping corpse can have."
"Flying Corpse..." Zhou Tong repeated, but his voice seemed a little lacking.
At that time, I only knew that zombies were scary, but I didn't know how powerful zombies were when they fell to the ground, so I asked Master Liu, "Foster father, are flying corpses more powerful than that paper figurine?"
Master Liu said, "That paper figurine is not yet ready, but the flying corpse is different. It can directly absorb people's souls. It interferes with reincarnation and goes against the way of heaven. Therefore, once a zombie is created, there will only be one end. If the zombies are not eliminated in time and grow up, sooner or later, one party will be harmed. Take the flying corpse in front of you as an example, it is not difficult to slaughter villages or even villages."
I couldn't help but ask: "What about the '魃' that is more powerful than the flying corpse?"
Master Liu said, "Hey? Hehe, that's a monster with supernatural powers that can slaughter even a dragon."
Master Ge interjected and asked, "Aren't you able to deal with '魃'?"
Master Liu said again: "If you are fully prepared, change them one by one!"
Master Ge snorted in dissatisfaction and stopped talking, while Master Liu continued, "But today's words should not need to be changed, I have already concluded that the force just now is just a fly. It's a corpse, and it's a flying corpse that has just changed from a jumping corpse to a flying corpse. It's still afraid of the sun for the time being, so it's easier to clean up, but don't be careless, if you get bitten by that thing, you'll be poisoned by the corpse."
After chatting for a while at the entrance of the secret passage, Master Liu took the lead in walking in, and I couldn't help but look back at the hanging bone racks on the top of the tomb. One of them shook violently, presumably the flying corpse just now. Just hide behind that skeleton.
After Master Liu went in, Master Ge also followed, and then Zhou Tong pulled me inside.
The secret passage was relatively narrow at three or four meters at first, but the further you went in, the wider it became, and the higher the secret passage, and gradually Master Liu, Master Ge, and Zhou Tong were able to stand and walk.
After chasing for a few meters, apart from leaving a series of footprints on the ground from time to time, I couldn't see the shadow of the so-called flying corpse at all.
After walking a few more steps, Master Liu took out a pure yang thunder talisman and stuck it on the wall of the tomb passage and said, "Let's keep walking, if we go astray for a while, the flying corpse will turn back, and the thunder talisman will definitely start after passing here. I will also feel it, so I can come back and stop it and prevent it from going out of this tomb."
After walking a few more steps, Zhou Tong said, "Master Liu, it's better to go ahead. If there is an agency, I can find it earlier."
Master Liu did not refuse, but nodded and said, "Then it's up to you, Zhou Tong."
Zhou Tong said, "Master Liu is very polite. It is my Zhou Tong's lifetime honor to be able to participate in your game."
Zhou Tong handed me over to Master Liu, then he held the dagger and shook the flashlight to the first position. The dark passage was already made of bluestone, and every few meters there would also be a symmetrical one on both sides. Animal face candlesticks, but the animal face of these candlesticks is not any kind of animal face we have seen before, but a more terrifying and fierce beast face.
I asked Zhou Tong what the animal faces on these candlesticks were, and Zhou Tong said, "This thing is called '犼', it is one of the four gods in myths and legends, which is tied with Nuwa, Fuxi, and Haotian, but it is the ancestor of zombies. , the four most powerful zombie kings in myths and legends are all born because of 犼, and I will tell you about them later."
Master Liu added: "The so-called four gods are not all the original gods, but some gods that appeared in the post-mythology era. After that, human beings entered the civilization period, and the mythology period basically ended."
I was confused. Just as I was about to ask the question, Master Liu said, "These are all fairy tales. If you want to hear them, I'll tell you later when you have time."
At this time, we are about to face a "flying corpse", which is indeed not the time to tell a story, so I just said "oh" and didn't ask any further.
Master Ge didn't say a word along the way. I didn't know what he was thinking. I looked at him sideways and found that he was also looking at the candlesticks with fascination, and even his pace slowed down a lot.
I asked Master Liu, "Why didn't Master Ge leave?"
Master Liu was also stunned and asked, "Why, Lao Ge, did you find out?"
Master Ge said, "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the '犼' depicted on these 犼-faced candlesticks is different from what we usually see in ancient paintings and sculptures."
Zhou Tong said: "After all, no one has really seen Qian, they are all drawn by craftsmen according to legends, and it is normal to have strangeness."
Master Ge shook his head and said, "No, it's Ji's mouth. Have you noticed? It seems to be holding something in its mouth, as if it's eating. Which craftsman would carve the appearance of Ji's meal?"
When Master Ge said this, Master Liu and Zhou Tong also stopped at the same time to observe the candelabra candlesticks. It is true that there are some tentacled animals in the mouth of each candelabra under the candelabra, but that thing was bitten in the mouth. I couldn't tell what animal it was.
I asked curiously, "What do you eat, is it pork?"
Master Liu slapped my head and said, "You idiot, how could the gods eat worldly things, they eat dragons, it is said that the dragon's brain is eaten by the dragon, it seems that the craftsman who carved this candlestick with noodles , is also a candlestick carved according to this legend, but the dragon is a symbol of the royal family, and the craftsman carved the dragon into food without fear of being cut off by the whole family."
Zhou Tong added: "Look at the carving, who can tell that the dragon in the mouth must be a dragon? We are just guessing."
Master Liu nodded and said, "The resident of this tomb likes Ji so much, so he must know a lot about zombies. It's not a strange thing to see a flying corpse here."
We continued to walk forward, turning a few turns in the middle, and we also stopped to rest for a while, ate something and drank some water.
Then we continued to walk, but the passage seemed to have no end, and it kept going around, and it was almost the same length before it came out. If we didn't find the traces of our passing on the ground, we would all think that we were going around in circles.
After walking for a while, Zhou Tong said: "This tomb road is so tortuous, then the end of this tomb road may be the most core position of this tomb, but this tomb road cultivating project is so large, but even the slightest wounding mechanism is not enough. No, it's a little unreasonable, unless..."
"Unless what?" Master Ge asked.
Zhou Tong said: "Unless this cemetery was not used to bury the dead before, but to live in the living, and if the living lived here, if you set up an organ, you might hang yourself that day, and only the living people's residences can be used. I won't set up an agency, otherwise such a large-scale tomb can't be without the slightest dangerous agency."
Master Liu also nodded and said, "Indeed, the two bronze doors that we saw are indeed the style of living people's residences, not for burials."
"A living person lives in a cemetery? And a Taoist priest? I'm really confused!" Zhou Tong said with a wry smile.
I suddenly asked Master Liu in a whimsical way, if we had traveled so far, would we be no longer in the countryside, Master Liu said: "The road we just walked seemed to be going forward, but in fact it was slowly turning around. After going down, it’s just that the curvature is large and the slope is small, which makes us feel that we are going forward, we are now farther and farther from the ground, but don’t worry, we are still in the countryside, and we are still under your school.”
We continued to walk for about two minutes. The structure of the place finally changed. There were openings one after another in the wall of the passage we were in. Hanging broken wooden door.
A place to live! ? Could this cemetery ever really be used to live in
