Savage Secret

() The gunshots from Dalongtan gradually faded and finally disappeared. The battle seemed to be over, and the next one was about to begin.

A bone box made of stone will not be light, coupled with the influence of psychological and other factors, it seems to weigh a thousand catties.The mountain road is rough and difficult to walk, and the things are not big. There is no way for two people to carry them, but only one person can carry them.Don't mention the awkwardness in my heart, I'm afraid that Shi Qianming will suddenly stretch out a hand from the bone box and grab me in too.

It's getting late, Luo Yu asked Er Yao to go back first to prepare the things needed for the sacrifice of the soul, probably because she was afraid that Chang Kun and his group would come back again, so she specially arranged for the old cow to accompany her, and then we took turns carrying the bone box to the place. back to catch up.Er Yao said that offering sacrifices to souls is a technical job that only Zhiji Tima and Tian Hao can do. Along the way, I wanted to ask Luo Yu how sure he was, but I was afraid that I would find myself in trouble, and even my last hope would be shattered. . .

Halfway through, Dachao and two other companions came to pick us up. When five people took turns carrying the ossuary, it was much easier than two people, but the relaxation was only physically, and the psychological burden was not relieved as night fell. , but more heavily.Then he changed the subject and asked them about the shootout.

From Da Chao's mouth, I learned that there were about a dozen people besieging Dalongtan, with four shotguns and two automatic rifles in total, and the others were all old-fashioned water.Although there were many poachers, they were all mobs and vulnerable. Dachao and the others easily killed five of them at the small cost of one person being slightly injured. If they hadn't taken care of Mr. Mo, they would have rushed over.

Da Chao said it very easily. When he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the gun battle was extremely tragic. There were traces of bullets everywhere. Although the flames in some places were extinguished, there was still faint blue smoke, which seemed to be resurgent. , The walls of the small hut were also punched with several holes. . .

It was too late to clean up the mess left after the gun battle, and they all followed Luo Yu to set up an altar for worshiping the soul.

According to Luo Yu's instructions, the two stone bars placed in front of the hut were carried to the open space, and some sacrifices were packed and arranged. The time was in a hurry, and the sacrifices were very simple, only a few game and melons and fruits.Several people came back after chopping some bamboo poles. Luo Yu drew some charms on them, and painted five colors of blue, red, yellow, white and black on the tips respectively, symbolizing the five elements, five on the left and right, and inserted them several times around the stone strips. Put them and the ossuaries that we brought back in the middle.

Finally, Luo Yu found a clean white porcelain bowl, poured half a bowl of self-brewed wine into it, grabbed a golden-crowned rooster raised by Er Yao, asked Da Chao to twist the neck of the rooster, and held it upside down to make the blood flow In the bowl, the dark red blood did not disperse immediately when it met alcohol, but condensed into a ball.Luo Yu dipped a bamboo stick that had been cut into chicken blood for later use, lit three sticks of incense, hummed softly in his mouth, picked up the white porcelain bowl containing chicken blood, and walked around the place where the bamboo stick was inserted. Circle, while walking, dipped your fingers in chicken blood and flicked it twice.

Luo Yu said it was a sacrifice to the soul, but I don't think it's that simple. Ordinary sacrifices to the soul, burn the joss stick paper money, and pray a few more words.Shi Qianming is not an ordinary soul, and Luo Yu dug out all the bone boxes and brought them back, which is a bit impolite.He faintly felt that he was not a priest at all, but clearly wanted to destroy the bone casket.

Luo Yu finally turned back to the ossuary, dipped his hand in the chicken and wrote on the ossuary several times, preparing to pour the blood of the chicken on the ossuary, but at this moment, a golden-crowned rooster crowed. Suddenly, he flew up, stretching out his neck and sharp claws and pounced on his face. Luo Yu was caught off guard, holding a bowl in his hand, so he could only take a step back and bend sideways, trying to avoid it.

Unexpectedly, the golden-crowned rooster refused to give up, even flapped its wings, pawed Luo Yu's body with its sharp claws, stretched its neck and pecked a few times, the white porcelain bowl finally fell to pieces with a "pop!", and blood spattered. Everywhere.The golden-crowned rooster flapped its wings and landed on the ground, shook its head and turned a few times, and rushed towards the hut without thinking. Xie Rou and Mr. Mo were sitting there, and immediately got up, stomping to stop it, but the golden-crowned rooster was jumping After getting up more than a foot high, he fell heavily to the ground and never got up again.

Xie Rou and Mr. Mo exclaimed at the same time, looking towards us.

"I, what... what's going on here? Isn't the blood all drained? How can it still bite? How can it still fly?" Da Chao's voice was a little flustered, his eyes widened, and he was very surprised.He clasped his right hand with his left hand, and a stream of blood was streaming down his right wrist.

When the golden-crowned rooster was bled just now, it was Da Chao who held it. After the blood was bled, he held it in his hand. Unexpectedly, the golden-crowned rooster survived. After pecking him, it flew towards Luo Yu.

In our place, people who are slightly qualified will kill a pig during the Chinese New Year, called the New Year Pig.I remember one year, I saw with my own eyes a Nian pig that was bled and thrown away for a long time, and was about to go down into the boiling water pot to shed its hair, suddenly jumped out, and ran across half the street with blood, scaring people into panic, chickens flew The dog jumps.When people asked the butcher what was going on, the butcher said that he was holding his breath, that is, he hadn't completely breathed out.The last flop of the golden-crowned rooster was not too unusual, but because of the wrong time and place, it made people feel uneasy and couldn't help but think of ghosts.

After dark, Luo Yu asked everyone to hide in Er Yao's hut.Lao Niu and I were not happy with this arrangement in every possible way. The thatched hut may be okay to keep out the wind and rain, but it is not good if we want to block the dead Qianming.We all get together, and if it rushes in, it'll take us out of the litter without much effort.

Just as she was about to tell Luo Yu the story about not putting eggs in one basket, Er Yao said that Zhiji Tima led people to build this hut, and had already engraved curses on the beams and buried talismans in the ground. Dare to approach.After listening to what she said, my worry was a little relieved, but the gun did not let go.

Corpse Qianming is also a ghost and a beast, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. People who have never seen it look out from the cracks in the wall of the hut from time to time, and those who cannot see listen with their ears up.

In the middle of the night, someone had already fallen asleep, but Shi Qianming appeared. Amidst the ghostly screams, a faint green light floated in the faint mist. When passing by the altar arranged by Luo Yu, he just stopped for a while, looking left and right. Fan, crawled on the ground and sniffed for a while, then suddenly raised his head, staring at the green eyes, and walked towards the hut.

After a while, everyone was woken up by a dull knock on the door, once, twice, three times, and after the knock on the door fell, a babbling child cried, "Can my house be opened?" Give it back to me?"

There was a chill in my heart, I didn't expect that Shi Qianming would knock on the door, let alone that it could learn to speak like a human being!Its house is the ossuary. Luo Yu sprinkled chicken blood there, and erected bamboo poles symbolizing the five elements and engraved with spells to make it difficult to approach, but it ran here.There were three more knocks on the door, and Shi Qianming's child-like cry became louder: "Can you give me back my house?"

The voice was bleak and pitiful, as if it was really a homeless child.
