Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Ghost Bat

As soon as the fire was extinguished, the whole house was dark again.Even the old man felt his heart was pounding, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. In the darkness, a cold hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed Old Man Lian's right hand.Even the old man was taken aback and made a backhand.Wu Zhen whispered in his ear: "Father, it's me. Don't make a sound, look ahead." Even the old man's heart was about to drop, when Wu Zhen said it, and raised it in his throat. Even the old man looked forward as he said.I saw a white-clothed woman standing three zhang ahead, with a white cap and a white cap, leaning sideways, smiling at the two of them, but there seemed to be a hint of ferocity in that smile, in the darkness, there was something unspeakable Weird and scary.Even the old man felt as if his whole body was immersed in ice water for an instant.

The old man Lian asked Wu Zhen in a low voice: "What's going on?" Wu Zhen said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, it's just a resentful soul." The old man Lian asked, "Ghost?" Wu Zhen said: "It's not a wronged soul, it's a resentful soul. A resentful soul is not terrible." Even the old man cursed in his heart: "Stinky boy, it's not scary." But he couldn't help but secretly admire his courage.The old man Lian asked again: "What is a resentful soul?" Wu Zhendao: "The resentment is tangible and intangible. Legend has it that the unjustly killed souls are full of hatred and have nowhere to dispel, so they wander around, and wherever they fall, they attach themselves. Probably the resentment here is too heavy, so the scattered souls love it." Float here. These resentful spirits are not scary, they will disappear when the lights are on."

While speaking, Wu Zhen lit the torch, and sure enough, the woman in white disappeared immediately as soon as the torch appeared. Even the old man let out a long breath.Looking around, there are bare walls all around, and there is nothing else in the room except him, Wu Zhen and the corpse mastiff.On the left is still a staircase leading obliquely to the boundless darkness below. Even the old man's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Tell me, are there any resentful souls down here?" Wu Zhen said with a smile: "Father, these resentful spirits won't harm people. Besides, we still have this corpse mastiff. As long as there are zombies, the corpse mastiff will be the first to feel it. The corpse mastiff is the most afraid of the big rice dumpling." .According to my guess, there should be ghost bats guarding the fifth floor below. This corpse tower has a fixed pattern when it is built, and the upper five floors must be guarded by spirits as required. The sixth floor has corpse mastiffs, and the fifth floor It must be a ghost bat, absolutely unmistakable."

The old man Lian suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Since that's what you said, then the two of us should be on the seventh floor. Why is there nothing guarding it?" Wu Zhen smiled: "Father, you don't know about this, the guard on the seventh floor has been thrown into our back garden by you." The old man Lian narrowed his eyes: "You mean...that stone skull?" Wu Zhen smiled and said, "That's right, that's it. It's not a simple stone skull, there's a secret in it." The old man Lian asked, "What secret?" Wu Zhen said: "It's too early to say at this time, after exploring this pagoda in a while, you will know when you go up." After speaking, he shook his head, "It's just that why this corpse tower is built underground is really unpredictable. "

The old man Lian looked at him sideways: "Unexpectedly, you know a lot. Did you touch Captain Jin to do this town of corpses?" Wu Zhen blushed, and said: "That's not true. Dad, you don't know, although we are all tomb robbers, we are divided into four factions: moving mountains, clearing mountains, dividing hills, and touching gold. We belong to Touching the gold school. And this strange art of dunjia, which is used to build the corpse tower, is the most secretive Taoist in our sect. It is said that the ancestor of moving the mountain has practiced Maoshan Taoism. This method of spiritual cultivation is the It came from Maoshan Daoism. We, Captain Mojin, never do such things that harm the yin and morals, so you can always rest assured."

The old man Lian snorted and said, "I hope so." After a while, he asked, "Then where do you know all these secrets?" Months of sacrificial sweeping, these many secret arts of the school of moving mountains are also heard." Even the old man was slightly annoyed when he heard that his words were incomplete and false, he snorted slightly, and said: "What is that ghost bat?" Wu Zhendao: "The ghost bat is also a spiritual creature raised by Taoist Qianshan. Bats already suck blood. Taoist Qianshan takes the souls of living people and fosters them on bats, making bats more poisonous. This kind of ghost bat sees people suck blood. , ghosts suck souls, it is a rare protective spirit for Taoists who move mountains."

Even the old man was horrified when he heard that, and he spit heavily: "What kind of protective spiritual object is a demon that harms people at all. What about the person whose soul was taken away?" Wu Zhen said: "The person without a soul will be like a walking dead from now on, ignorant and unconscious." The old man Lian looked at the stairs leading to the fifth floor with fear in his eyes. Wu Zhen smiled and went first.The corpse mastiff stood up, shook its mane, followed Wu Zhen, and followed closely. The old man lost his voice: "Be careful of that ghost bat!"

Wu Zhen stopped walking and said: "Father, you don't have to worry about this. That ghost bat is not afraid of anything, but everything has a nemesis. Rats are afraid of cats, sheep are afraid of wolves, what this ghost bat fears most is this corpse mastiff. In this ancient tomb, besides the insects and ants, the ghost bat is the best delicacy of the corpse mastiff. When the corpse mastiff comes, the ghost bat will be afraid to avoid it, so how dare they come to provoke it? As long as we stay close to the corpse mastiff Two meters away, then there is no danger." After all, he took the fire folder and walked down the stairs first.

Even the old man was dubious, holding a musket, and followed behind. From the top to the bottom of this corpse tower, the first floor is bigger and bigger, and the two of them came to the fifth floor.This floor was still empty, so Wu Zhen used a torch to illuminate upwards, only to see that the roof of this floor was indeed densely covered with dark shadows.Those black shadows with sharp beaks, wide wings, and unusually ugly appearance are indeed ghost bats! The ghost bat smelled the stranger's breath on the two of them, and suddenly rushed over like a black cloud.Flying three meters away from the two of them, hanging in the air, the pitch-black wings kept vibrating, and the sharp beak of the bat seemed to choose to devour someone.

Suddenly, the corpse mastiff raised its head and roared, the roar was like thunder in the dark night sky.The group of ghost bats scattered when they heard the roar of the corpse mastiff.Come fast, go fast!In an instant, they all disappeared without a trace.
