The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 249

The thing was shining like two beautiful and dazzling black gemstones.

However, Xia Xiangxi took a closer look and found that there were no gems, but a pair of eyes, and they were the eyes of a black cat.

That's a cat ghost!Although Xia Xiangxi had never actually seen a cat ghost, with her keen sense of smell, she could already feel the strong hostility permeating the cat's body, which was the smell only ghosts have.

That cat ghost was very hostile to Xia Xiangxi.He yelled at Xia Xiangxi sharply, and then rushed towards Xia Xiangxi.

Dealing with a cat ghost is still easy.Xia Xiangxi immediately chanted the ghost-killing mantra, "Taishang Laojun, give me a divine prescription. Calling on the jade girl, it is ominous to capture. The god master kills, not avoiding the powerful, first kills the evil spirits, and then kills the night light. He Shen If you don’t give up, why would you dare to do so? Urgently, like a law.”

The cat ghost screamed, turned into a cloud of black smoke out of thin air, and disappeared.

After Xia Xiangxi used his teeth to remove the rope from Shi Wei's body, and both of them were free from the rope, Xia Xiangxi said, "There is a problem here!"

Shi Wei rubbed her numb wrists tied up with ropes, and asked Xia Xiangxi what did she see?
"Bad air!" Xia Xiangxi's face was more solemn than ever, as if he had met an extremely powerful opponent.

Shi Wei said: "Is it because the god statue here was pushed down, so the god's revenge was provoked?"

Xia Xiangxi shook his head and said, "No! There's something underground!" After speaking, Xia Xiangxi started looking for something in the house.

Shi Wei didn't know what Xia Xiangxi was looking for, so she wandered around the house like joining in the fun.It wasn't until she saw most of the murals on the wall that the paint had peeled off that she screamed suddenly.

Xia Xiangxi hurriedly turned around and asked Shi Wei what's wrong?
Shi Wei said: "I know what this place is! Look at the paintings on this mural!"

Xia Xiangxi leaned over to take a look, the mural was already incomplete, but it could still be seen that there seemed to be two snake-like monsters painted on it.

Shi Wei said: "This is the ancient mythical beast Baimao. It is said that after Pangu created the world, Nuwa was very lonely, so she made a man out of clay, and at the same time made a pet that is also a snake god like herself. One is Baimao, the female, and the dragon. species; one is the Teng snake, and the snake species is the male."

Shi Wei said she remembered this village.There is such a village in western Hunan.However, it is not called Yaoxian Village, but Yaojia Village.Shi Wei had been to that village before, and thought that the people in that village were all from the Yao nationality, so it was called Yaojia Village.Because Shi Wei feels that there seems to be no Yao surname among the hundred surnames of the Han nationality, nor does the Miao nationality.After arriving there, I found out that the people in that village are Miao people, and they are more sinicized, like teenagers, who can't speak Miao language at all.

The local people said that the current site of Yaojia Village is not the original site.The former Yaojia Village suddenly sank overnight decades ago and was flooded.Now that place is a relatively famous small lake in western Hunan.

The ancestral hall in Yaojia Village is very distinctive.Inside is the Empress Nuwa.On the walls are the mythical beasts Baimao and Tengshen created by Nuwa.Shi Wei thought it was quite strange at the time, because ancestral halls are generally places where ancestors are worshiped, like Empress Nuwa, who is an ancient god, so they should also be enshrined in temples.

People in Yaojia Village only said that it was a rule handed down from their ancestors. After the old Yaojia Village was destroyed, they just rebuilt the ancestral hall on the site of the new village according to the rules left by their ancestors and the original ancestral hall!

But Shi Wei said so, she still has some doubts about whether Yaojia Village is Yaoxian Village or not.Xia Xiangxi said: "It's not surprising. The relationship with the characteristics of the times, just like where we are now, isn't it sweeping away ghosts and snakes? The name of the village may be changed because of this."

After a moment of silence, Xia Xiangxi said that she had instructed the girl ghost to ask the skinning fairy just now.The Peeling Fairy and Jin Niang are both over a hundred years old, so they naturally know the history of the surrounding area very clearly.Fairy Peeling said that Yaojia Village was indeed the former Yaoxian Village.In addition, the skinning fairy got the soul-dividing mirror after Yaoxian Village was submerged, and a witch of Yaoxian Village gave it to her before she died.

Xia Xiangxi said, "I seem to know something!"

In Xia Xiangxi's feeling, she felt that this village might be the witch who originally possessed the soul-dividing mirror, and before Yaoxian Village was in danger, she reflected the village into the mirror.In this way, there is always the original site of Yaoxian Village that has been submerged in the soul-dividing mirror.

Xia Xiangxi felt that there might be something that involved her, and what it was, she could only wait and see.Intuition, nothing good!After all, he already felt a strong evil spirit in front of his eyes.

Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei searched again.It was finally discovered that the base of the statue had a mechanism.When the mechanism was touched, the altar creaked and moved slowly, revealing a secret passageway.Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei looked at each other and prepared to go into the secret passage tacitly.However, I don't know where this underground passage leads to. It is sealed inside and there is no air circulation. If you go down rashly, you may be poisoned.After Xia Xiangxi tentatively burned a talisman, and the talisman burned in the tunnel, which proved that there was still oxygen in it, the two girls boldly entered the entrance of the tunnel.

Under the dark passage is a dark room.It doesn't look like much, just the size of a bedroom.There is a black lacquered coffin inside. The shape of the coffin is nothing strange, but there seems to be something strange on the coffin, like a layer of adhesive tape, and the layer of adhesive tape has texture, more like a human being. skin texture.

Is it human skin?Xia Xiangxi's scalp was a little numb.The thick cold air kept rushing up from the soles of Xia Xiangxi's feet, making her almost freeze up.

There was an extremely strong cold air exuding from the coffin, and it felt like a thousand-year-old soul was imprisoned inside.

It was only later that Xia Xiangxi learned that such a coffin was called a corpse coffin.Because this position is in the fish eye in the direction of the eight trigrams, it can gather the aura between heaven and earth with the eight trigrams.If this person has aura, he can be called a fairy bone.But if the dead person in the coffin is stained with spiritual energy, he can only become a demon spirit.

The prerequisite for keeping corpses is to embalm.The burial must have earth atmosphere.After the corpse is buried in a natural cadaveric place, not only will the corpse not rot, but the hair, teeth, nails, etc. will continue to grow.The corpse absorbs the essence of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers by seizing the light of the sun and the moon, and some body functions are restored to life. It is like a dead soul revived, and then it will turn into a zombie, wandering around and sucking human blood to survive.

There is obviously no such prerequisite as embalming in this secret room.So the conditions for embalming are man-made.
