Sand... Dark fingers swept lightly over the hanging cowhide. A slightly chubby man in a red robe with a pipe in his mouth carefully cleaned the countless cowhides hanging in the air.
This is a stone house. The house is not small, about four or five hundred square meters. The height is also very strange, even ten meters high. It was covered with cowhide. The cowhide has been processed so that it is almost transparent, and at a glance, it looks like a human skin sewing shop.
The man was holding a knife in his hand, trimming the corpses with skill. The occasional puff of smoke from the pipe filled the place with an eerie atmosphere. And just when he was carefully repairing the cowhide, suddenly, there was a crisp sound of "card".
The index finger with which he was holding the knife was bent at a terrible angle due to excessive force.
"After all, it's a body that's been dead for 30 years..." The man sighed lightly and straightened his index finger: "It's time to change a skeleton. I don't know when I work at the gate of the underworld, when will I be able to make a bone change. money… "
At this moment, a continuous clanging sound suddenly sounded in the stone house. On the roof, it was actually covered with thin slices of bones, tied to red ropes, and when they collided with each other, they were as crisp and sweet as wind chimes.
"It's time again..." He sighed softly, put down the knife in his hand, pushed aside a piece of leather, and walked towards the door.
As he got closer and closer to the door, the yin qi on his body became heavier and heavier, from ghosts, to souls, to impermanence! In the eye sockets, two pale ghost fires also danced.
During the walking process, there were constantly floating Yin spirits around and handed over spears, bone rings, and headdresses made of pure gold. Thick golden neck rings and various accessories, when they arrived at the door, the simple red robe had become majestic and majestic because of these very famous and vulgar jewelry.
Different from Hua Guo's exquisite craftsmanship, his clothing has a rough and wild flavor, but it does not make people feel less majestic and aesthetic.
At the ten-meter-high gate, two Yin spirits were already waiting at the gate. With his arrival, he opened the gate one step ahead.
Carrara... A brilliance disappeared into the house. It was not the light of the sun, but the color of the torch. The man seemed to have long been used to it. He was an inch off the ground and floated out of thin air.
Outside the gate, there is a picture that is so bizarre that it makes people speechless.
Here, is an island.
Island in the sea.
The island is probably tens of thousands of pings in size, and at the center is a gorgeous cave temple. With strong Egyptian flavor and religious color. At the top of the temple, a cobra is carved, lifelike,
In the huge area to the left of the cave temple, the ground is flat and divided into hundreds of stone platforms. There are various animal patterns carved around the stone platform. In front of each stone platform, there is a woman wearing an African women's dress. The colors are bright and the clothes are the same, but the same thing is... They have long hair.
fell to the ground. And they were holding a thick bone needle in their hands and were sewing something on the stone platform.
On the stone platform... there are countless corpses lying there!
A corpse wrapped in cowhide!
And these women used their own hair to pass through the bone needles to sew the hides tightly. This bizarre scene, coupled with the high candles lit in all directions, made the scene look yin and cold.
What's even more terrifying is... On the water outside this island, there are densely packed corpses floating!
With his hands folded in front of his chest, he was lying in a sheet of cowhide with a peaceful face. Here, all corpses have their eyes closed.
Hundreds of sturdy black men in animal skins, wearing animal skin skirts, and holding spears, constantly patrolled the shore. There were also many well-organized corpse hunters who salvaged these corpses and placed them neatly on the shore.
Styx Ferry!
"How many corpses were delivered today?" The man in gorgeous clothes asked in a deep voice as he walked to the shore.
"Three hundred and forty-seven, Mr. Mopti." A man who had been waiting beside him for a long time, dressed in colorful feathers, replied respectfully.
After a pause, he said cautiously: "But... At five in the morning, the Ancestral Spirit Refuge seemed to have detected an extremely powerful Yin Qi, probably at the level of a deputy chief."
"Impossible." Mopti turned to leave, and said without looking back: "There is no notification of the transit of high-level ancestral spirits. Madagascar does not even have an organization in the world. The most powerful ancestral spirit protectors are not at the level of guardians."
"Does that require a record?"
"No need, the detection is wrong. Don't use this kind of thing to disturb the Holy Spirit and Zu Wu."
The door of the cave temple opened again, and Mopti walked in quickly.
"This damn work..." He sighed, rubbing his eyebrows habitually.
After being dead for decades, still working at the entrance of Hades, if there is no accident, it is almost impossible to return to the ancestral holy land.
The work here is very leisurely, and it only needs to count the number of deaths in the earth, and then extradite the souls of these people to the kingdom of the Holy Spirit. If anything major happens, it is impossible to pass through here. Day after day, nothing changed, boring and boring.
In this boredom, he took up hobbies such as leather tanning - limited to cowhide and a small amount of sheepskin, of course.
Shaking his head and sighing softly, he felt like a mechanical woodpecker toy. When the time was up, he went out and asked. And then shrink back again, the only thing that can make me feel useful is probably the respect of the changing soldiers.
Habitually took off the jewelry, raised his arm, and waited for a lower official to take the decoration for him. However, just when he started to untie his neck ring, he suddenly paused.
nobody.
In the entire cave temple, the public servants who had decorated him before seemed to have disappeared. Only the candles burning around the walls reflected the shadows of the cowhide. A feeling of loneliness suddenly arises, followed by a feeling of... extreme fear.
It was as if... he had entered a tiger's cave, and something... was looking at him through layers of shrouds.
It was terrifyingly quiet, as if you could hear the sound of a heartbeat. He viciously moved his Adam's apple, looked around vigilantly, his hand was already on the door, and he said hoarsely, "Antulu?"
no answer.
"Bagu?"
There was still no response, only the candle sparks jumped and beeped.
The ghost fire in his eye socket has shrunk to the size of a pinhead and disappeared... The ghosts in the entire cave temple have all disappeared... Those ghosts who had given him decorations a few minutes ago, now there is not a single one left.
It was empty, only the corpse clothes fluttered, and the unknown fear giant gripped his soul tightly. His back began to tremble.
There's something here... there must be!
And the other party is looking at him!
He turned around silently, his hand suddenly pressed on the door handle, and pulled hard!
Not moving.
Jingle Bell! At this moment, the skeleton fragments in the whole room rang frantically, crashing like crazy! And those heavy corpse clothes began to slowly flutter! No... it's fluttering rhythmically, as if making way for something in the center!
At the same time, all the candles swiped and lit several meters high! Turned into a miserable color!
"Someone...come!!!" Mopti turned around desperately and hammered the wooden door: "Foreign enemies invaded!! Specter ghosts invaded the Black Mamba Hades!! Immediately notify the chieftain!!"
"Your craftsmanship is good." Before he finished speaking, another young voice sounded flatly: "If these leathers can be sold in the world, I am afraid that some people will be rushing for them, such as those old-fashioned luxury goods."
Heh... The feeling of electrification in the spine spread up from Mopti's caudal vertebrae, and one reached the top of his head.
How long
How long has it been since you died
That kind of absolute suppression, complete terror... It was just like the first time I faced the underworld.
The Yin Qi detected before is not wrong! There are really ghosts intruding here! I am too careless!
He turned around tremblingly, his teeth chattering: "Whoever you are... Invade the Black Mamba Hades, Lord Chief..."
Silenced.
He blinked and looked at the figure in front of him in disbelief. Didn't give him an extra color at all.
This outfit…
This gloomy...
He... remembered a rumor.
I heard the rumors that the soldiers talked about by chance.
Before he died, in the underworld world, there were the four most powerful underworlds, known as the Four Constants. Each of them is a regional ruler, and one of the best in China, the underworld, has been closed to the country since decades ago. The whole world is watching it.
"Meet the messenger of Huaguo!!!" Without thinking, he immediately squatted on the ground: "The angel of the east is coming, I didn't receive the notice, please..."
"Okay." Qin Ye waved his hand: "This official is traveling privately. You don't know it's normal, just stay there and don't move. Abra."
"Yes… "
A figure tremblingly crawled out from behind Qin Ye, yes, crawling, since coming here, Abra has lost the ability to walk.
"Babru..." He gasped, as if he had exhausted all his strength: "Contact my ancestor...the name is Babru! He said that if I want to find him, enter the shelter and wrap in a shroud. , come to the lake island of the undead, and say his name! He will sense it immediately!"
"Babru..." Mopti was stunned for a moment, and then he shook violently.
boom! ! Before he finished speaking, all the candles in this room instantly turned black and red! The candles ignited countless flame butterflies, dancing wildly with the wind.
One after another Yin Qi gathered from all directions, forming a ten-meter cloud cave at the top of the entire cave temple! Among them, a shuddering yin qi burst out in an instant, covering the entire island!
Hurala! A circle of black shock waves rushed out of the grotto temple frantically. The Yin soldiers from all directions, Zhi Nu had no time to speak, and they were instantly washed away without a trace. But in the blink of an eye, there was only Mopti lying on the ground and shivering.
He... remembered...
Baburu... the name of the deputy chief of the Black Mamba tribe... also... the first ghost to follow Lord Holy Spirit! Bablo, known as the tail of the Holy Spirit!
Having been a low-level official for decades, he finally looked forward to the change he wanted. It's a pity that this change... is much more than he imagined.
"In the end what happened?!"
