Chapter 18 Chapter 18 The Man Who Crawled Out of the Grave

I took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in my heart, held up the flashlight tremblingly, and shone it on the Kongming lantern. Under the light beam of the flashlight, the Kongming lantern showed a translucent color, with a picture of a beautiful woman on one side. She has a pretty face, like a full moon, the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, and she smiles shyly, revealing an indescribable charm. etc! Isn't the beauty on the Kongming lantern the same as the white pearl?Is it the female ghost I met just now?How is this possible?She has been dead for ten years, how could someone paint her face on human skin and make it into a sky lantern?

Under the beam of light from the flashlight, the leather of the Kongming Lantern was in a strange translucent state. I could even clearly see the texture of the unique human skin on the Kongming Lantern, which was delicate and moist. If this is really made of human skin, then it is definitely the human skin of a young beauty... Thinking about it this way, I feel disgusted for no reason. Who would be so cruel and do such despicable acts?She actually peeled off the beauty's skin and made it into a Kongming lantern? I don't deny it, I was very scared in my heart, but at this time, I was more resentful. This person hides in the mountains and does such cruel things. Does he think that he can escape the punishment of the law? Knowing that Skynet is not missing, sooner or later he will be punished by God.

But the question now is, should I still use this Kongming lantern? No, how can I get out of this barren mountain graveyard?use?This Kongming lantern made of beautiful skin made me feel chills in my heart, and I was somewhat condemned by my conscience. After hesitating for a while, I finally decided to use this Kongming lantern to lead the way. At worst, I will go to Wu Village tomorrow, find a place to buy some paper, and burn it to pay homage to this beauty. Thinking of this, I started to use the flashlight and fumbled on the ground looking for the candle that I accidentally dropped on the ground just now.Grass was already luxuriant on the gravehead mountain. I spent some effort, but I didn’t find the candle, but thought I found something else—a pair of broken wooden clogs.

Yes, those are a pair of broken clogs. In ancient times, people didn’t have rain boots, and they only had cloth shoes. When it rained, they could only wear clogs. After all, these clogs are made of wood. Make a "tap-tap-" sound. There is a saying in an ancient poem - Ying Lian's teeth imprinted with moss, this is what it is talking about. Thinking about it, it was something belonging to the owner of the tomb. Thinking of this, I sighed softly, and at this time, I also found the candle beside the clogs. I took out the lighter and was about to light it, when suddenly, my heart moved, clogs?Clogs...

When the clogs walk on the road, don't they just make a "tap-tap--" sound, isn't that the sound of the mysterious footsteps walking behind me just now?Could it be that the so-called thing just now was buried here? I held up the flashlight to illuminate it. This tomb should be old, with lush grass, and moss even grew on the broken wooden clogs. Besides, even if there are those unclean things, so what?As I was thinking about it, I wanted to do it, to get that human skin Kongming lantern. But at this moment, my heart moved, and I felt that something was wrong. Immediately, I held up the flashlight again and pointed it at the clogs on the ground—at this moment, the ground under the clogs began to slowly move. , together with the green grass above, bulged little by little, as if there was a person lying underneath, at this time, trying to crawl out from below.

I staggered back a few steps, and then I stopped. Although I didn't fall to the ground like before, I was still in a state of embarrassment. The skin on the top of the barren grave was cracked little by little. A puffy-faced man with pitch-black nails was climbing up little by little from inside. I stood in the thick fog and even forgot to run away. , just watching helplessly.At this moment, I was really inexplicably shocked. It's not that I haven't seen zombies, nor have I seen anything unclean, but whether it's the ghost of the white pearl or the mysterious shadow of the black robe, it's unbelievable after all. Unpredictable, it's not like this, I just held up the flashlight and watched...

This feeling was too real, I suddenly wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, anyway, for a while, I couldn't tell what I felt, my heart was chilly, and the two were warring. That person—let's call him a human, finally climbed up from the ground with some difficulty. Then, he turned his head and looked around. Similarly, he also saw me. Inside my nose, I smelled a rotten smell, stained with the smell of corpses, the man's body was torn and torn, with dirt stains everywhere... What surprised me even more was that when the man saw me, he seemed to be taken aback, and even took a big step back with some anxiety.

Then, we just peeked at each other like this—— After a long time, I suppressed the panic in my heart and finally asked, "Is my friend a human or a ghost?" "Damn it!" the man roared suddenly, "I thought I had just met a ghost, and it turned out to be a person! I just said that after so many years of fighting, I have never seen what a ghost looks like. Hmph , Thinking about it, if all the ghosts look like you, they would be ashamed to come out and wander around in the middle of the night!" "You..." I heard the man speak, and finally understood that I actually met a tomb robber who was fighting against him in this barren tomb. Although I felt a little disdainful, meeting people is better than meeting ghosts it is good.

"Thank God!" I muttered, thinking of what the tomb robber said just now, although I am not very good-looking, I can still walk out anyway, it is much better than this tomb robber, at least I still look like a human being, unlike him, It looks like a ghost, "At least I still look like a human. Look at yourself, if a ghost sees you, you'll be scared to death!" "Aren't I just trying to scare ghosts?" The tomb robber snorted, confronted him, and cursed, "What do you think you are good for, kid? Why are you hanging around in this mass grave without sleeping in the middle of the night?"

I was really scared by this tomb robber. Fortunately, I didn't have any heart disease, nor did I have a myocardial infarction or cerebral hemorrhage. Otherwise, just now, I really thought I met a ghost, and it would be strange not to be scared to death by him. "I'm here to catch ghosts!" I said angrily. "Okay, young man, I'm too lazy to quarrel with you. Don't tell me about the rules of the world. The meeting is divided into half. I have a good harvest this time. I can go to Luoyang City to live a good life for a few days! Don't follow me. I'm leaving!" The grave robber pulled out a tattered bag from the ground while talking, then turned his head and warned me.

"Don't worry, even if you want to divide me up, I despise filth and won't give away such dead money!" I sneered. "Very good!" said the tomb robber, carrying the torn sack, turned around and was about to leave. Although I'm stubborn, I don't covet the things he fumbled for. Maybe there are valuable antiques in his broken sack, but my top priority now is not to get these things, but to think, I How can I get out of this mass grave, so, as soon as the tomb robber took a step, I followed closely. There are more ghosts than people in this place, and meeting someone, even a tomb robber, is better than meeting a ghost. "Hey, boy, you just said that you are not greedy for money, why did you follow me?" The tomb robber asked, staring at me fiercely. Knowing that he is human, I didn't care at all, and immediately smiled and said: "This place is a bit weird, I can't get out, and I don't want to die here for no reason, so I ask you to borrow a way!" The tomb robber seemed a little surprised, and asked after a while: "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, do you also want to do this kind of grave-digging business?" Then, he pointed to the human-skin Kongming lantern placed on one side of the grave. Asked, "Is this what you put?" "Of course not!" I shook my head and said, "I never make such evil things!" After saying this, I was ashamed, I don't make human skin Kongming lanterns, but I also want to concoct yin and yang purple river chariots , that thing is much more evil than this thing, and, what I have learned is turned around, and I also know some Qimen Dunjia, including corpse control and other things. "Of course I am not a good person, Qiu Shijiu!" The tomb thief said, shaking his messy hair, "but he is not a bad person, except for digging a grave occasionally and exchanging some wine money, he didn't do anything wicked, but I have never done a good deed before, if I take you out today, would it be considered a good deed?" "Forget it!" I nodded, thinking to myself, "So this tomb robber is actually called Qiu Nineteen, what a weird name!" "En!" Qiu Nineteen nodded and asked, "What's the boy's name?" "Simon!" I said. "Last name?" Tomb robber Qiu Nineteen asked, "What about the first name?" The tomb robber is obviously more educated than the old village head, I muttered in my heart, and replied casually, "I won't use it for a long time!" "How old are you?" Qiu Nineteen shook his head, "Why are you so pessimistic at such a young age?" I didn't speak, the sorrow of life is nothing more than the death of heart, in fact I have lost my way, what is the meaning of life and me?Heal hundreds of people, seek incense from hundreds of families for old friends, if I find the Yin-Yang Zihe chariot, communicate with the underworld, and help him become immortal, and I...what should I do? Seeing that I was silent, Qiu Jiujiu didn't ask any more questions, and started to walk outside. Someone led the way, so I definitely wouldn't pay attention to the Kongming lantern. The Kongming lantern is too evil. No matter how you look at it, it looks like It was caused by human skin, and the painting on it turned out to be a white pearl. I was extremely suspicious. Could it be that this Kongming lantern was made by that old Taoist from Honglian Temple? But where did that human skin come from?Wouldn't this old Taoist flay human skin alive to make Kongming lanterns? When I thought about it, I shuddered involuntarily, and hurriedly followed Qiu Nineteen, not daring to take a step away. That Qiu Nineteen seemed to be very familiar with this generation, and instead of taking that narrow path, he led Follow me, shuttle in the mass graves, stop and go. I followed him with a flashlight. After walking for a full 20 minutes, Qiu Jiujiu suddenly stopped and began to count with his fingers. I was curious and asked, "You know this?" "Shut up!" Qiu Nineteen suddenly cursed. I was about to contradict him, but then I thought about it, now that I still have something to ask of him, why should I turn against him?What should I do if I offend him and leave me alone in this random grave? "The aura of this place is weird!" Qiu Nineteen shook his head. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Someone took advantage of the celestial phenomena and changed the terrain. If we can't find a way out, we will be trapped to death!" Qiu Jiujiu said in a deep voice. "Huh?" I couldn't help ah. "Hmph, you're a bastard, you're so unlucky!" Qiu Nineteen cursed loudly, "When I met you, I knew it was bad luck for eighteen lifetimes!" "How can it be because of me?" I retorted unwillingly, "I have been walking in the mountains for many years, and I have never encountered such a weird thing. Maybe it is because of you that I am unlucky!" The tomb robber Qiu Nineteen turned his head around and gave me a hard look. Although he has a vicious appearance, messy hair, and an earthy smell, I am not afraid at all. Principle, stared back. "Wait—" I suddenly asked, "What did you just say, someone used the celestial phenomena to change the terrain?" "That's right!" Qiu Nineteen nodded and said, "You are quite knowledgeable, kid!" "It's not a ghost hitting the wall?" I asked in surprise. "If there are really so many ghosts in this world, how can I, who is scrambling for money, survive?" Qiu Shijiu took out a stick of incense from the tattered sack while talking, and asked, "Is there any ghosts?" fire?" I nodded, and handed over the lighter, Qiu Jiujiu took it, lit the incense, held it between the middle finger and ring finger of my left hand, and said in a low voice, "See if it works!" Anyway, I was at a loss and couldn't offer any advice, so I could only listen to him.After Qiu Shijiu lit the incense, he identified his position for a while and started walking forward again. He still didn't return to the narrow path, and he was still walking through the random graves, but I was curious and asked: "According to what you said, someone did it on purpose?" "It should be!" Qiu Nineteen frowned and asked, "What are you doing here in this mass grave without sleeping in the middle of the night? Do you have some bad intentions?" I pondered for a while, and finally told him about the healing of Wushan and the downing of the Yinyang Zihe chariot, etc., and then mentioned that the Yinyang Zihe chariot was stolen. I suspected that it was Wang Jiren who followed me all the way. Naturally, she wouldn't tell him about the frightened female ghost in the white cheongsam. After hearing this, Qiu Jiujiu shook his messy hair and said, "According to what you said, could it be that Wang Jiren did it? But he has such abilities, he can't go anywhere, why bother to hide in a small mountain village?" "I think so too!" I smiled wryly, "Actually, it's not that I look down on that Wang Jiren, he really doesn't seem to have this ability!" Between the time I spoke, I had already walked a long way. Suddenly, Qiu Jiujiu, who was walking in front, stopped, staring blankly at the front... What is this place?In the place in front of me, there are obviously fewer random graves. I thought I had already walked out, but when I looked around with a flashlight, I couldn't help but gasped. This should also be a barren mound. But it was much larger than those solitary tombs. On the ground, there were broken blue bricks and rubble everywhere, and not far away was a huge stone sculpture with the head of a dragon and the body of a turtle, standing tall.
