We must go to Tianwang Mountain. It is impossible for Qu Mo to take them there. But I have made plans and have already made an appointment with Xiao Hanba to meet at Guilou Yinshan within three days. If we are delayed for one day at Tianwang Mountain and then return to Shanxi by car, we will not be able to get there within the specified time if we encounter any accidents.
So I hurried back to the house, packed a big backpack, and lied to my mom that I was going out with everyone for a few days. She understood immediately, why would I need to bring an exorcist when I go out? But my mom was still so tolerant, and said to everyone with a forced smile: "Be careful, protect Shen Bing, and don't let her suffer any grievances."
Shen Bing was so moved that she burst into tears when she heard this. She lay in her mother's arms and sobbed, as if she was parting with her mother forever. This girl gets along with my mother better than a real mother and a real mother.
In fact, I had already planned not to let them go to Taiyuan with me. Why would they go there with so many people to die when they knew they would never come back? Wouldn't that be stupid? It was just that I would go to Tianwang Mountain and take a long-distance bus to the county town to let them go back. But I held back for now to avoid arguing with them on the way.
The five of us squeezed into a car and arrived at the foot of Tianwang Mountain in about an hour. We didn't go into the mountain from the scenic area this time. We did it for romance last time, but now we don't have the heart to do that. We went directly to the south slope of the mountain and climbed up. Qu Mo whispered to me that the fox's nose can't smell too far, there must always be a target.
I had it in mind when I came here. We went straight to Xiaoguan Village because it was a dangerous place with a graveyard there, which was most likely to breed ghost insects. The best place was Xiaoguan Tomb. Although the dead Zongzi was killed, the body was still there, and maybe this kind of thing would be living on the body.
Qu Mo frowned and said to me: "You may not know this, but in fact, fox spirits are also afraid of ghost insects."
I nodded. This kind of insect is too weird. No matter what kind of demon you are, you will be afraid of it if you encounter it. The main reason for this thing is its small size and the fact that it is fed by corpse qi. Its life is extremely tenacious and almost indestructible. If you can't kill it, it will definitely kill you.
My dad once said that it’s a good thing that the ghost bugs are hiding in the corpses in the tombs in the mountains, otherwise if they run out, a small bug would be enough to turn an entire town into a ghost town!
"Let the fox spirit find the bug, and then don't worry about it. I'm ready to catch it." I comforted Qu Mo.
When we returned to Xiaoguan Temple again, even though the sun was shining brightly, we still felt eerie in our hearts. What happened half a year ago was still vivid in our minds. This dangerous place is not a place that one can visit casually.
But this time our strength is different from the past. Wang Zijun has also grown up and learned some real Maoshan Taoism. We also added Lu Fei. Except for Qu Mo, I asked them to stay in front of the small official temple. Only Qu Mo followed into the dangerous place. After smelling the scent of the ghost insect, I will complete the capture task alone. It will be troublesome to catch this thing with too many people. If it invades your body, you will definitely be a dead body.
When Qu Mo and I passed by the altar, we found a fresh pig's head on the bluestone, and there were also offerings such as fruits and vegetables. There was a lot of burnt paper ash in front of the bluestone. Someone came here to perform sacrificial activities. Who could it be? The descendants of Xiaoguan Village have all died out. The people of Huaiyang Village regard this place as a ghost den. No one dares to approach. Who would come here to perform such a rich folk sacrifice
I squatted down and looked at the pig's head. Although it was frozen like a stone, judging from the color of the blood, it must have been placed here in the past two days. I could also smell the smell of burning paper, which meant that it must have been there for not long.
With this question in mind, I went deep into Xiaoguan Village, passed through the cemetery, and walked to the last Xiaoguan tomb. The spirit fox did not smell a trace of the ghost insect. If I can't find this thing here, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult nearby. I can't help but feel gray in my heart. Qu Mo also looked disappointed. Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly saw obvious friction marks on a stolen hole.
Someone must have been there in the past two days, otherwise there wouldn't be such obvious traces. I immediately became suspicious and guessed that it was done by someone who came here to offer sacrifices. Could it be a tomb robber? But tomb robbers don't have to offer sacrifices to the owner first, right? I haven't heard of such a rule.
Qu Mo and I looked at each other and understood each other's intentions. The rope was still there, so I went down first. Then Qu Mo also slid to the ground. I took out the flashlight. Although the dead dumpling was dead, I still felt a little scared. What if he came back to life
Speaking of this, I really think of a little story my dad once told me. It was about a Taoist priest who killed a zombie. After killing a zongzi with glutinous rice, he didn't expect that the zongzi would come back to life a year later. What happened? Someone took the rotten corpse away and put it in a corpse-raising ground. Then he found five white zombies, removed an arm or thigh from each white zombie, and replaced the limbs with the rotten corpse's. Then he took out the heart from the last white zombie and put it into the rotten corpse. He used the corpse-raising technique to raise the corpse for a year, and then he could revive the rotten corpse again!
These are all legends, I don’t know whether they are true or not. Even if they are true, to deal with five white zombies is simply a fantasy.
After we walked into the tomb, my heart sank. The rotten corpse of the dead Zongzi was missing!
Qu Mo and I were both shocked. We searched the ear chamber and every corner, but we couldn't find any trace of the dead Zongzi. Even if a tomb robber went to rob a tomb, he couldn't steal a rotten corpse, right? It's not a mummy or something, so it has some archaeological value, but it's just like a dead dog that has been left in the field for half a year. What's there to see
This body must have been taken away by someone. It can be seen from the altar that this person must be the descendant of a minor official. According to etiquette, they first performed sacrifices and then opened the coffin to move the ancestor's body.
Who could this be? Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind. Could it be Zhang Yunfeng? But what is his blood relationship with Xiaoguan? Xiaoguan's last two descendants are also dead. Could he be the son of the village chief? It's hard to say. Otherwise, why is this bastard so mysterious
Qu Mo did not smell any scent of the ghost worm and returned disappointed. He did not find the worm, but he unexpectedly discovered this strange and mysterious thing.
After leaving Tianwang Mountain, I told them that I would take my own bus to the county town and asked them to go back.
Shen Bing was the first to disagree: "If we want to go, we should go together. I don't want to be a widow!"
The girl looked determined, and the meaning of her words couldn't be clearer, if we die, we die together, we will never live alone! It really touched my heart. In this modern society, I can still find a girlfriend who will live and die with me. My life is not in vain!
