Chapter 172

Luo Laowai was waiting for Hua Maguai's words, and nodded in satisfaction, then pointed to the female corpse, and explained with a proud face.

"My old Luo also worked as a mortician when he was young. This thing is called standing still. Within seven days after a person dies, corpse poison is poured into the corpse to make it neither rot nor spoil."

"This is a secret technique of urging corpses that is not passed down in Xiangxi. I won't say much, but as the shopkeeper said, this is by no means a mountain ghost or monster, it's just a way to send corpses."

After finally waiting for something that he could understand, Luo Laowai was as good as showing off his skills, and he explained clearly from the beginning to the end the matter of driving corpses when he was young.

When it comes to rising, I take a few sips of soju with the flagon.

The others listened with gusto and wondered, after all, there is no chance to hear such a folk secret technique.

The red girl was surprised, especially when Luo Laowai said that she stood still, she couldn't hide her surprise.

I've heard that word mentioned before.

Even the big shopkeeper didn't know the reason, but this wish was able to explain it straight away. This ability alone is amazing, and it seems that the skill is not bad. The long sword he was holding was obviously not a decoration.

"Boss Luo is really clever. He knows such secret techniques. He didn't know it before, but now he knows that Luo Shuai is still a Taoist. No wonder there is such a genius."

Wait until Luo Laowai finishes talking about that crap.

Hua Maguai quickly raised her thumbs up and said flatteringly with a smile.

Luo Laowai didn't bother to talk to him, and just turned his eyes to look at the red girl, but unfortunately, the latter was so distracted that he didn't look him straight.

For a moment, Luo Laowai couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He wasn't greedy, but she was the only girl here, and he wanted to show off.

"Let's stop talking, shopkeeper Chen, and Brother Xu, let's have a drink."

"It's very cold in this mountain, drink some wine to warm your bones."

A group of people ran on the mountain road for a day, and it was raining outside again. In addition, the humidity in the mountains at night was heavy, and the body was breathing now, and it was indeed a bit cold.

He didn't refuse the wish, squeezed to the burning fire, followed Luo Laowai and Chen Yulou, and drank several bowls of soju in a row.

After drinking the wine, his whole body suddenly became hot, sweeping away the cold air.

However, the strength of the wine was also fierce. In just a few minutes, Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai lay down on the ground, and Kunlun held one in each hand, and sent them to the woodshed in the backyard to rest.

Thinking of going to Pingshan Mountain tomorrow, he made a wish and put down the wine bowl.

He was about to go back to rest, but the moment he stood up, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a line of wet footprints on the floor by the door.

He frowned, and looked up at the beam by the light and shadow of the oil lamp on the table.But he happened to see a pair of cloudy and black eyes staring at him.

There was no life in those eyes, it was extremely strange.

Wishing frowned, almost subconsciously, he pulled out the paratrooper knife and threw it forcefully.

"brush!"

I saw a flash of light flashing in the darkness, the short knife was like an arrow from a bow, tearing through the air, and shot towards the strange figure in an instant.

Although it was just a glimpse just now, in that instant, he also saw clearly the general situation of the shadow on the beam.

It turned out to be an old woman in white, with white hair, lying on the beam like a big bat, silently.

Apart from them and the dead people in the coffin, it is absolutely impossible for other people to exist in this kind of deep mountain Yizhuang.

The beam was several meters above the ground, and there were no ladders around it, so ordinary people couldn't climb it.

Not to mention, whoever was full enough to eat ran to Yizhuang in the middle of the night to pretend to be a ghost.

Since it is not a ghost, it is very likely to be a real ghost.

And he has seen ghosts.

So in the blink of an eye, I didn't think too much about making a wish, and there was no room for hesitation at this time.

"Oh!"

only……

The dagger was thrown out, but it didn't hit the phantom shadow on the beam seriously injured as expected by the wish.

The cold light passed by, as if piercing through the air, it sank into the wooden beam with a bang, and when I looked up again, the ghostly shadow had disappeared.

"what happened?"

The red girl who was boiling water suddenly heard movement behind her.

Knowing something was wrong, he immediately turned around, waved the red robe, and took several throwing knives into his hands from nowhere.

Quickly approaching the wishing side, a pair of clear eyes were full of coldness at the moment, and he swept around the room fiercely, while asking in a low voice.

After she joined Changsheng Mountain, she lived a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife.

"There's something dirty on the beam."

Wishing without turning his head, his eyes were fixed on the beam.

"Where?"

The red girl raised her head and looked up, but she couldn't see anything.

"do not know……"

Wish shook his head.

His brows almost wrinkled into a word of Sichuan.

He can confirm that he was absolutely right.

But right now, apart from the knife that was still buzzing, there was nothing on the entire beam.

"Damn it!"

He lowered his head and glanced around, the footprints formed by the water stains on the ground were still there, step by step, and followed the footprints.

"I'll go out and see."

Glancing at the red girl who was facing an enemy on one side, in order not to make the atmosphere too tense, she made a wish and smiled, pointing outside and saying.

"Then I'll be with you."

The red girl didn't even think about it, and followed directly. The two followed the footprints on the ground and chased out of the door. Unfortunately, they finally disappeared outside a broken earth wall.

"Could it be from the mountains?"

Looking at the vast mountains and forests under the darkness in the distance, the red girl said with some doubts.

Just say that.

Suddenly, the mountain ghosts and ghosts that everyone talked about during the chat suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Don't think too much about it. It's not too late to see what's going on."

Looking away from the distant mountains and forests, he made a wish and shook his head. Seeing this, he actually already had a judgment in his heart.

"Go back to the house and have a look."

The red girl nodded.

The two returned to the apse, just as Kunlun and Hua Maguai had gone to the woodshed.

"Miss Hong, help me raise the lamp."

"Ok!"

The red lady nodded.

Wishing to take a few steps back, let out a soft drink, all strength.

Immediately, it surged like a tidal wave.

The next moment, he rushed out with a stride.

The moment he got close to the bottom of the beam, his legs slammed and his right foot stepped on the wall. The whole person jumped onto the beam in an instant like catching silkworms.

The wooden beams hadn't been repaired for many years, and they creaked when they went up, and the dust accumulated on them also fell down.

Fortunately, the beam was fairly strong, and although it shook violently, it finally withstood it.

The red girl also quickly took the leather lamp beside her, and raised it up to the wishing side to shine a light on it, and the light on the top suddenly became brighter.

Squatting on the beam, Wishing reached out and touched forward, and soon found where the dagger was.

Just now, the wish-making force burst out, and the explosive speed was extremely terrifying. The short knife almost disappeared, leaving only the hilt outside.

Pull out the dagger.

He inadvertently glanced behind the beam from the corner of his eye.

This glance doesn't matter, he really found a way out.

There was a painting hanging on the wall behind it.

With the light of the leather lamp, he made a wish and found that although the painting was badly damaged, he could see clearly what was on it.

The picture on the painting is an old woman dressed in sackcloth and filial piety.

Standing in a deserted cemetery.

He has a stooped figure, gray hair, wrinkled face, and sunken eye sockets.

But these are all normal, but her eyes are cloudy, with a strange light in them, and there is a strange expression on her face that looks like a smile but not a smile.

It's been a long time.

There is an indescribable strange feeling.

"is her!"

The moment he saw the portrait, Wishing immediately recognized that the ghostly shadow he saw on the beam before was the old woman in the painting.

Who?
The red girl at the bottom was confused.

"Just the dirty stuff I just told you about."

Make a wish without staying on the beam, tore off the painting, then jumped, and fell steadily from above to the ground.

Pushing the picture scroll away, he handed it to the red girl, who knew that the latter just looked at it, and immediately exclaimed.

"Isn't this the old lady Bai enshrined by Miao Jiang?"

Mrs. Bai?
Wishing frowned slightly.

This title sounds a bit strange.

"I don't know where she came from, but the mountain people on Laoxiongling have long had the custom of worshiping. In the early years, the incense was at its peak, and there were countless believers. Even the foolish men and women outside the mountain often worshiped. "

"But I haven't heard much about it these years, but looking at this Yizhuang, I guess it was rebuilt from her temple."

Seeing the doubts in the wishing expression, the red girl explained softly.

The belief in gods in the Miaojiang mountain area is serious, and there are countless gods enshrined, and even the beliefs of the neighboring villages are different.

Making a wish, he lowered his head and glanced at the old lady Bai on the scroll, and still felt that she seemed evil but not righteous, and she was very different from the god in his impression.

Especially that weird gaze that I saw before, how could it be a bit like a god?

However, thinking that there are evil gods in the world, he could only slander, "This thing seems to be infiltrating, it might as well be burned..."

Meow!
He didn't wait for him to finish the sentence.

Suddenly, a sharp meow came from the beam overhead.

It's like a ghost crying in a cemetery in the wild.

Startled the two people who were talking.

Looking up, under the cold moonlight, there was an old black cat standing on the top of the beam.

It was wet all over, and it looked like it came from the mountains outside.

It's just that the old cat seems a little weird.

Staring straight at the two people below, there was a rare smirk in those amber eyes.

That's right.

Just laugh.

Although it's hard to explain clearly, Wishing still saw a weird smile on its weird face.

After staring at the two of them for a while, the old cat that broke in suddenly shifted its gaze to the female corpse standing behind the door, a green light flashed in its eyes, and it bared its teeth in a fierce posture.

"broken!"

Seeing this scene, Wishing's face suddenly turned ugly.

People of the older generation know that cats are the most taboo to see a corpse after death. Once they get close, it is extremely easy to cheat the corpse.

Looking at the old cat's appearance, I'm afraid it mistook the female corpse for a big mouse.

The moment she made a wish and frowned, the red girl on the side had already reacted.

She yelled softly and waved her hand violently, three or four darts flew out from under her sleeves and shot fiercely at the roof beams.

Brush brush!
A cold light surged on the dart.

It's just that the old cat seemed to have expected it a long time ago. It just jumped forward with an arrow, and its figure shot out like lightning, and all four darts were shot in the air.

Either it didn't go into the beams of the house, or it only smashed the tiles, making an aggressive noise.

Even dodging a few darts, the old cat turned around and smiled contemptuously at the two of them, then made a vertical leap and jumped directly from the gap above the roof beam.

"clatter!"

It fell three or four meters.

The old cat didn't even make a sound, as if its body was just a feather.

Right now, there is no need to care about the portrait when making a wish, the murderous intent surged in her eyes, and the red girl only felt a gust of wind blowing around her.

Make a wish and the whole person has been swept away.

The red girl didn't stop either, the two of them surrounded and suppressed, one in front of the other.

It's just that the old cat has been in the mountains for a long time, and its sense of danger is extremely keen.

It seems to be able to predict the danger.

Its figure is slippery, treacherous, and extremely vigorous, as if it is in a swipe of smoke, it is impossible to touch it.

Swishing away, taking advantage of the messy environment in the room, the old cat unknowingly approached the door.

He turned his head and grinned at the two of them with a low growl.

The eyes are full of ferocity.

How can it be easy to survive in a ghostly place like Laoxiongling?
The red girl's face suddenly changed, "It's broken, it's going to move the corpse."

The old cat that had already rushed to the door panel opened its mouth and bit the face of the female corpse, tearing off a piece of flesh and blood the size of a palm, and stood there gnawing on it.

The person watching is numb.

The second aunt Mouse died not long ago, within these two days.

The corpse poison poured into the body while standing still did not completely diffuse into the whole body, otherwise, the old cat would definitely be poisoned to death.

"Red girl, let me do it, you step back a little first."

Wishing frowned, grabbed the red girl who was about to rush out, and pulled out the Seven Star Longquan Sword that she had been carrying with her left hand, and swung a Gengjin sword energy to slash towards her.

This is……

The moment she saw the sword energy, the red girl couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Isn't sword energy a legendary thing?

Now it has appeared.

The old cat who was nibbling on the corpse was not slow to react. When he made a wish to release the sword energy, his hair exploded all over his body, and he dodged the sword energy nimbly.

The sword energy hit the female corpse and beheaded the female corpse.

"Ho..."

The old cat that fell to the ground still had one ear of the female corpse in its mouth, grinning at the wish.

"Humph!"

Wishing with a cold snort, he swung the Seven Star Longquan Sword, and was about to unleash another burst of sword energy to deal with the old cat, when the paper window to the north of the room was suddenly knocked open.

A beast, somewhat resembling a fox, landed in the middle of the room.

The second after it came in through the broken window, there was another rush of footsteps in the darkness in the distance.

Xu Zhi frowned and looked up.

In the mud not far from Yizhuang.

Three figures dressed as Hmong people are walking quickly.
