Chapter 13 Chapter Twelve

It seems that these ghosts keep their crops in drought and flood. If they skin us alive, then these underground ghosts will suck our blood.And once they fail, they will smoke Hu Songshan and Dou Ye. Dou Ye and Hu Songshan who were pulled by their legs were very frightened. No matter what kind of world they had seen before, they were still caught off guard by these ghost hands from the ground.They no longer have any weapons in their hands, and the daggers on their bodies have been cut off by Jiang Qiankun.Fortunately, each of them was equipped with a saber when they entered the cave. Although the pig-killing knife was broken, they still had a saber with them.But Jiang Qiankun also said later that this kind of saber is not as good as the pig-killing knives in the cave, because these pig-killing knives are very effective in warding off evil spirits.

After Hu Songshan and Lord Dou took out their sabers, they were less flustered. After all, they had been battle-tested, but compared with these ghost hands that emerged from the ground, they were still at a disadvantage.Seeing this situation, I hurriedly took a torch and swept towards their heels, only to see that wherever my torch went, there were wailings.I pulled Hu Songshan over and gave her the torch, and her situation changed immediately. Lord Dou shouted: "My boy, don't die, I actually gave the torch to Xiao Nizi." Seeing that I handed the torch to Hu Songshan, Jiang Qiankun knew that I would be in danger soon, so he took the two torches in his hand. One of them was thrown to me.Seeing that Lord Dou was still troubled by the ghost hand, I pulled Hu Songshan closer to Lord Dou.

When Master Dou saw us coming, he smiled and said, "You have a little conscience, you know how to save brother." I also said: "Rescue Hu Songshan, it is to not discriminate against female compatriots; to rescue you, it is to not discriminate against male compatriots." After the three of us got together in one place, we returned to Jiang Qiankun's side. So far, the crisis has only slightly eased.There were no ghost hands on the nearby ground, only a part of the corner of the wall was still baring its teeth and claws. Although the ghost faces on the wall were still so fierce, they were no longer dangerous.

Seeing that everyone's situation is slightly better, I think of the blood corpse next to the small door leading to the cave next door.That thing never attacked us directly, just watched from the sidelines.At this time, I looked to the door, only to find that the blood corpse had disappeared. I said to Jiang Qiankun: "Uncle Jiang, have you seen that blood corpse? Why is it gone?" Jiang Qiankun waved the torch and said, "How come, didn't you see it? It's right above your head." Hearing what Jiang Qiankun said, I looked up, only to see that red figure looking at me above my head.I was startled, and quickly burned him with a torch.Although the blood corpse was also red, it was a master who was afraid of fire. After seeing the torch approaching, it quickly drifted into the distance.

We focus all our attention on the blood corpse.After the blood corpse landed in the distance, it floated over and landed in front of everyone.Everyone was shocked, and they all looked at this blood corpse in amazement. This blood corpse has no nose, no eyebrows, no ears, only eyes and mouth.We guessed that this blood corpse should have been skinned before death, and then made by a special method.It doesn't have an inch of skin on it, and there are uneven knife marks everywhere, and we can also see its own blood circulation. The blood flows from the upper body to the lower body, and then from the lower body to the soles of the feet, which is very terrifying.

Among the three of us, only Dou Ye didn't have a torch, the blood corpse probably saw Dou Ye as the weaker part of the crowd, so he attacked Dou Ye.Due to the speed, everyone was unable to rescue him in time, and the blood corpse immediately grabbed Master Dou and threw him to the wall.Those ghost hands on the ground seemed very excited to see Master Dou, and stretched out their hands, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces.Seeing Lord Dou was in danger, I rushed to rescue him. I stuck the torch in my hand on the ground near Master Dou to burn the ghost hands, but those ghost hands had been hungry and thirsty for a long time, and they couldn't help but clung to Master Dou. put.

Fortunately, the place where Lord Dou rolled down was exactly where the human bones were piled up.I picked up a few human bones, lit them, and gave two to Lord Dou.Master Dou took the human bone, drove away the ghost hands around him, had a chance to catch his breath, and regained his energy.The two of us dipped back in some kerosene, the fire on the human bones grew stronger and brighter inside the cave. Just as I was helping Lord Dou to fight for aid, the blood corpse locked the target on Hu Songshan.Hu Songshan is a woman. As the saying goes, she has weak yang energy and strong yin energy, and is the first choice for Yin ghosts to attack.They fought for a long time before we joined them both.

Seeing the blood corpse in front of me, I thought of the blood corpse my fourth uncle saw in Guishan Han Tomb. That blood corpse was not as vicious as this one, but this blood corpse was extraordinarily fierce. Suddenly Jiang Qiankun shouted: "Yi Shui, be careful!" When I was distracted, the blood corpse hit me.I only saw the bloody corpse flashing in front of me, and then I felt my whole body go numb, I couldn't move my body, and I couldn't even control my limbs. I unconsciously looked at the blood corpse, only to see that the blood corpse smiled kindly at me, and the corners of his mouth were still twisting, as if he was talking to me.Following that, my body began to lose control, and my strength became more abundant, and even my jumping became much better.Hu Songshan said afterwards, I was terrified at that time, my eyes were red, as if I didn't recognize my relatives.

In my dim consciousness, I heard all three of them calling my name, but I felt that these people were getting farther and farther away from me, as if I didn't know them.At this time, I heard someone shout: "Look at your hand." Hearing someone say look at my hand, I lowered my head and looked at it.I saw a snake crawling up my arm, so I quickly threw the snake away and took a few steps back.Then I heard the sound of metal falling to the ground, and saw Jiang Qiankun picking up the snake and walking towards me.He grabbed my tiger's mouth and cut a knife on my index finger. When I yelled no, I lost my center of gravity and fell to the ground.I felt as if cold water had been poured on my body, or as if I had just recovered from a serious illness, my whole body was limp and weak, as if I had lost blood.

After I woke up, I quickly realized that I was possessed by an evil spirit, and saw the blood corpse smiled at me again.Jiang Qiankun asked: "Can you still walk?" I nodded and said, "No problem." Jiang Qiankun said: "Everyone, don't look into the blood corpse's eyes. Take the torches and rush out, rush to the small door, go up, there is probably a passage there." Hearing what Jiang Qiankun said, everyone rushed to the small door with torches . This time Lord Dou will play the forward, because Jiang Qiankun is in the best physical condition now, so this time he is at the back, and Hu Songshan and I are in the middle.Everyone quickly withdrew into the passage, passed the small door going up, and then began to walk up through the stairs.This staircase is not spiral, nor is it completely straight up and down, but like the current floor, a forward and a backward turning staircase.The stairs are not wide, so everyone can only go in order.But also because of this, the blood corpse cannot stand in front of us.

Ordinary stairs have a 3-meter floor, and you can reach the next floor after folding three times at most, but here, you have not seen the exit after folding seven or eight times.Just when everyone felt a little disappointed, Jiang Qiankun said: "It's strange, that blood corpse didn't follow, and went down by himself." Before that, Jiang Qiankun had been holding a fire stick to support everyone. Although the blood corpse could not approach us, he was always It is strange that he has retreated from the one who was chasing us. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they finally got rid of that thing, it seems that the long stairs are still good.Everyone panted heavily while walking up.Just when the emotions in our hearts eased a little, Hu Songshan took my arm, and looking at her expression, she turned out to be extraordinarily happy. Through this day's experience, I found myself getting closer and closer to Hu Songshan. She seems to be much gentler than Liu Ge, and also understands me better than Liu Ge, at least she doesn't lose her temper often.But I know that Liu Ge is really good to me, I can't be so sorry to her. If my guess is correct, Da Xiong and Qiu Han should have told Hu Songshan that I have a girlfriend, and Hu Songshan didn't mean anything to me at first.She asked me to go with her for convenience, but she actually considered that I had a girlfriend. Since I have a girlfriend, I wouldn't have any crooked ideas about her.But people are not as good as heaven, Hu Songshan did not expect to lie in the same coffin with me.Hu Songshan is a very traditional girl who understands the principle of whether a man and a woman should marry each other, so she is very annoyed.But in the next day, she slowly fell in love with me, so the current scene came about. I didn't brush off Hu Songshan's arm, just walked slowly in this dark and deep passage with her, maybe, I fell in love with her too. The crowd walked slowly up, and up three more flights of stairs, after which we saw a light.At this time, having light is far more terrifying than no light, just like a female ghost in red clothes is more dangerous than a female ghost in white clothes.Ghosts are also divided into levels. Ghosts with lower levels are afraid of light, even lights and fire.Slightly more fierce ghosts are not afraid of fire and lights, only afraid of the sun, like ghosts in red clothes and zombies, these things can only come out at night.But when encountering something particularly fierce, as long as the sun is not directly shining, these things dare to come out. For example, on cloudy and rainy days, some people have encountered ghosts hitting the wall in the mountains. Master Dou said, "Oh, it's not good!" Hu Songshan said: "What's wrong?" Master Dou said: "Could it be that Chen Dao and them have arrived?" Jiang Qiankun thought for a moment and said, "No, they might not be sent here. Yishui, guess why that blood corpse didn't come up?" When Jiang Qiankun said that, I remembered the ancient tomb that my grandfather entered when he dug the river at home.There is a big green snake in that tomb, and every time a zombie cheats, the green snake will run away.Immediately I replied, "Could it be that there are more powerful things up here, and the blood corpses dare not come up?" Jiang Qiankun said: "That's right, I suspect that the things on this floor are stronger than the ones below, otherwise, the blood corpses below would not easily let us go." Lord Dou said: "This blood corpse is powerful enough, if there are more powerful ones, how can we survive!" I said: "That's not true. Although this blood corpse is powerful, it can only be possessed. It is only stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, he is also afraid of fire. Compared with the Boren king that Songshan and I met last night." , this blood corpse can only be regarded as a brat at best." Hearing what I said, Hu Songshan also said: "Yes, what Yishui said is true. He fell in front of us last night, didn't say a word, just looked at us. Before we recovered, we fell down. On the ground. When I woke up, I was lying in the coffin. Speaking of which, this blood corpse is relatively gentle, but it can only be said that it looks fierce." Master Dou said: "Oh, if you say that, the Boren King we met that day may also be the Boren King, but we didn't see what the Boren King looked like. We slept on the mountain and woke up It's time to lie there." Jiang Qiankun said: "There is another possibility." Master Dou asked, "What's possible?" Jiang Qiankun said: "Look, the cave we came up just now is a place to bury slaves, so there are many pictures of washing the master's feet and plowing the fields. The ancient people paid attention to the hierarchy, so the low-level slaves must be On the bottom floor. We were sent to the bottom floor, which means that those ghosts think that we are of a lower level and should be sacrificed and buried. But when we escape here, the level of the blood corpses below is different from that of the people on the upper floor , dare not commit crimes, so I can’t come up.” I nodded and said: "It makes sense. This nation is still at the development level of slave society. It is entirely possible to set up a hierarchy. When we came up just now, the blood corpse could follow up, but it gave up. Maybe the next level It's not as fierce as this blood corpse, but the blood corpse dare not come up because of the level requirements." I didn't know that just after I finished speaking, a person appeared in the bright light above, and I saw that this person was actually dressed as a business traveler.He wears a turf fur on his head, a long gown with a long cloth bag around his waist.Looking at the withered and yellow complexion on this man's face and sunken eye sockets, although it is obvious at a glance that he is not a human being, he is not as ferocious as those slaves in the lower class who nakedly want to drink human blood.The person who looked like a businessman said in Sichuan dialect: "Hello, guests, the shop has the best liquor, please come in." Everyone didn't expect this person to be able to speak, but they couldn't advance or retreat here, so they had no choice but to go up. The so-called tricks, everyone should be careful.At that moment the businessman opened the door, and everyone went in one by one, but after entering, they found that there was a ladder going up behind the door.Everyone was overjoyed, and I imitated my Sichuan buddy A Fei in the dormitory and said: "Shopkeeper, we are all passing by, and we have to hurry." Unexpectedly, just after I finished speaking, several people came out of the room and dragged us to the room on the left.The structure of this layer of caves is the same as that of the upper layer, divided into left cave and right cave.We didn't have time to see the layout of the cave on the right, but judging from the layout on the left, it does look like an inn.The walls inside the room are filled with wine tanks of various styles. There is a counter in front of the room, and there are several tables, chairs and benches in the middle, which is somewhat ancient. Those people extinguished the torches in our hands and pulled us to the wine table against the wall. There was a lamp and four sets of bowls and chopsticks on the wine table, as if they knew we were coming.Seeing us sit down, a waiter next to the counter brought up a jug of wine.He stretched out his white-haired arm to pour wine for us, and filled the big bowl in front of us to the brim. It looked like he had really arrived at the hotel. As soon as I saw the white-haired arm, I thought of the old monster who carried me away last night and the four ghosts who made us faint.I looked up at Hu Songshan, and saw that she was also looking at me, as if thinking of what happened last night. But this wine is really fragrant and fragrant.Before coming here, Chen Daohe once said when introducing this ethnic minority that this is a nation that appreciates wine. It seems that this is true, and the baijiu they brew is really unique. The problem now is that this wine must not be drunk after thousands of years. If people force us to drink it, what should we do?The southwest area has always been known for its hospitality, if you don't drink their wine, people will say that they are not good at hospitality, once they get angry, it will be a disaster. Immediately Jiang Qiankun said: "Shopkeeper, don't say hello, we will come by ourselves." Hearing what Jiang Qiankun said, the man turned around and went to the next room.And the people who had put us into the room also retreated, and even the waiter returned to his counter.Jiang Qiankun said: "This wine may be thousands of years old, we must not drink it. I guess this room must also be a cave, so nothing here can be moved. After a while, let's find an opportunity to sneak out of this place." The house goes up, as long as we go faster, they can't catch up, and we will be fine when we reach the upper floor." Everyone heard that it made sense, and only thought this method was good.Master Dou on the side sighed and said: "Unexpectedly, I was a hero in my first life, but capsized in the gutter. It seems that Brother Jiang is the best. The knowledge passed down from his family is better than that of me who has been in prison. When I encounter new problems, I just don't know what to do." Brother Jiang turns fast." After Lord Dou finished speaking, everyone wondered why he suddenly mentioned this.But when I thought about it, it also made sense. Lord Dou was invited by Tang Yong. Before that, Lord Dou was a well-known expert in fighting in the industry, and he had stolen countless tombs.With an identity like Master Dou, coming out of the mountain today is no longer for the sake of a weapon, but to prove his position in the world of tomb robbers.But unexpectedly, on this small hill, he has been damaged several times in a row. Jiang Qiankun said: "Master Dou, what are you talking about? I have always regarded you as my elder brother. Take today's situation as an example, we can't do without anyone, let alone you. Today we are all together. In adversity, in the future, brothers will have difficulties, and they need elder brother to help!" Jiang Qiankun said so, and Master Dou turned the cloud into sunshine. But to be honest, although Master Dou is capable, he is indeed inferior to Jiang Qiankun in terms of reasoning.Jiang Qiankun's thinking is so subtle that even Hu Songshan and I feel inferior. If the fourth uncle is there, it may be at most a tie with him.The reason why Lord Dou was called a master by Tang Yong was that he had rich experience in the earthen tombs in the Central Plains.Now, all the experience of the Central Plains is useless, and Lord Dou has no advantage. Jiang Qiankun said: "Now, everyone pours wine on the upper of the shoes, and then each takes another sip to ensure that there is alcohol in the mouth, so that they don't know that we haven't drunk." You are smart, now everyone will follow what Jiang Qiankun said, put the wine in their mouths, and then lower their heads and sprinkle the wine into the upper of the shoe.After everything was settled, everyone stood up gently and walked towards the small door. There is already someone standing at the small gate, and this person is the one facing us.It seems that people knew the principle of welcoming and thanking guests a thousand years ago.Seeing that everyone was about to leave, the man said, "Have you finished drinking?" Jiang Qiankun said: "It's over." The man said: "It's very good. I don't know if you have ever paid for the wine?" Everyone was shocked. It turned out that the drinking was mainly for the money.But who has ever carried money with them, not to mention that even if they carry money, how can ancient and modern coins be exactly the same? Hu Songshan said, "How much is the total?" I only heard the man say: "The four of you drink a jug of wine together, and it is two taels of silver." Everyone was thinking badly, and they need money, so where can they give him money.When the man saw that everyone was hesitant, his expression immediately changed, and he said, "Do you have no money, or don't you want to give it?" At this moment, a few people came out from the next room. , At this time, these people showed fierce faces, and four canine teeth were exposed outside their lips like four cigarette butts. I said, "It's not that I don't want to give it, it's really not." The man said: "Since you are here, you must pay for the wine. If you don't pay, then don't drink." When everyone saw him finish speaking, their eye sockets became more sunken, and they felt bad, and they were afraid they would get angry again. At this time, Hu Songshan took off an earring from his ear, and said: "Do you think this is okay, can it be used as wine money?" I remember Hu Songshan said that this pair of earrings is an ancestral item. When crossing the Naihe Bridge last night, She gave one of them to Po Meng, and there was only one ear left. When the man saw the earring, he was very happy, and said: "In this case, it should be discounted for the wine price." Those people took Hu Songshan's earring and returned to the room. Jiang Qiankun said: "Shopkeeper, we have to hurry, so let's leave." The man immediately let us go after collecting the money.At that moment, Master Dou lit the torch with a lighter and continued to walk up. Jiang Qiankun said: "I don't know how many floors there are. If every floor is so sad, I'm afraid that when we reach the top floor, if we don't get eaten by ghosts, we will starve to death."
