Chapter 23 Chapter 22 A Cat's Disaster

Where did the cat come from? I don't know, but having a cat is definitely not good news. There has always been a custom in my hometown that when the old man dies, the children must keep vigil for him for seven days until he is buried.Later, cremation gradually became popular, and the time of vigil became to wait until the body was cremated.The reason for this custom is that people's souls gradually dissipate after death, and when they encounter spiritual things, they will cheat their bodies. In our hometown, the old people said that cats are the messengers of Lord Hades, so keeping cats can ward off evil spirits.But once a person dies, the cat must be tied tightly and cannot get close to the funeral shed where the corpse is buried.During the period of the Republic of China, an old man died in a family in the neighboring village, and the son went out to receive relatives, but a cat always dangled in front of the corpse.When the relatives saw it, they told their sons to drive the cat away quickly, otherwise disaster would happen.But the son said it was fine and nothing would happen.Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the cat jumped onto the old man's body and lay down there to sleep.The son couldn't see it, and drove the cat away.

At night, the son still slept in front of the old man's body on time.But the next morning, neighbors saw blood all over their door.The neighbors were surprised, where did the blood come from?So he pushed open the door of the dead man's house and saw the old man's son lying on the ground with a piece of flesh bitten off his neck and blood holes all over his body.Looking at the dead body of the old man on the bed, it was gone. The Republic of China was in great turmoil, many people died, and strange incidents of fraudulent corpses were not uncommon.The neighbor's first thought was to cheat the corpse, so he quickly told the security chief to have the corpse arrested.At that time, everyone knew that zombies were afraid of mahogany swords.As for the theory of black donkey hooves and glutinous rice subduing zombies, it has never been heard in my hometown, but there must be a mahogany sword.

After the zombie ran away, he killed several people, and those who were bitten to death were cremated immediately, for fear of cheating or spreading the plague.But catching zombies is very difficult, no one can defeat that zombie.Even with a mahogany sword, the zombies can't let you chop, so many people who went to catch the zombies at that time were either dead or injured. I heard from my fourth uncle that the ancestor Li Chengfeng was better at subduing zombies.After he heard about this, he took the mahogany sword with a golden handle that had been opened in Wudang Mountain, and went to the dead man's house alone on a dark and windy night to wait for the zombies.At that time, every house closed the door tightly, and used a big wooden table to support it, and the windows were also sealed with big nails to prevent zombies.At the third watch, that is, twelve o'clock at night, the zombie appeared at their own door.Li Chengfeng finally subdued that zombie because of his apprenticeship, kung fu learning, and that golden-handled mahogany sword.

After the zombie died, it was cremated. Since then, no one has died in the family, and no one has left their cat untied.Some even killed the cat and never left the body for a moment. After hearing the meow, the fourth uncle shouted loudly: "No, catch this cat quickly." The cat must have come in from the sewer, because cats often enter the sewer to feed.It suddenly occurred to me that there was a female corpse in the sewer.My heart is broken, let's run away. But the fourth uncle insisted on catching the cat. The fourth uncle said that if the cat was left in the ancient tomb, all the invisible things in the tomb might be scared away, but those who couldn't be scared away might be resurrected.At that time, the danger will be great.

In desperation, everyone started to catch the cat.However, the cat's movements are more sensitive, and it is not so easy to catch.We chased from south to north, and from north to south, the clothes on our bodies felt almost dry, but we still couldn't catch the cat.It's just that even though it can't be caught, the cat doesn't leave the tomb.Everyone discussed, this time from east to west, stand in a row and walk forward.But before this decision could be implemented, there was a crackling sound from the back of the tomb, and the sound of shattering ice came over. Everyone said it was bad, this old thing is a fraud.The fourth uncle immediately told everyone to run and leave this place.Even Liu Ge and Fifth Uncle ignored their injuries and walked out the door.The fourth uncle went to the organ of the tomb first, turned the stone to the right, and the door of the tomb opened slowly.At this time, everyone saw the tall, bearded and armored Smutatar jumping out from behind the screen.

I couldn't help complaining to Uncle Fourth, if I had left here earlier just now, wouldn't everything be fine?Bringing this thing out now, I'm afraid it won't end well.After the fourth uncle opened the door, everyone left the tomb immediately.But when the door opened slowly, it also closed slowly. When the tomb door closed again by itself, the Smutatar who cheated the corpse had already jumped out of the tomb. There is no way to escape now, there are still organs in the tomb passage.In addition, four of the five people were injured. Let alone zombies chasing after them, even if there were no zombies, it would be difficult to think about it.

I remembered that when I entered the ancient tomb, my fourth uncle said he could lock corpses, so I asked, "Fourth uncle, didn't you say you could lock corpses? Why didn't you use it?" The fourth uncle scolded: "Stinky boy, don't you know that I have injuries on my body now? It's good if I can walk, and I even use a fart to lock the corpse. Besides, I don't know if you lost the corpse lock on your fifth uncle." Uncle Wu touched the position of his belt, then took out a silver chain, and said, "It's still there. I haven't used it yet, so I forgot about it."

The fourth uncle said: "That's useless, we don't have the strength, we can't use the body lock, run away, that thing is here." But where else to go at this time?The fourth uncle said, and ran to the tomb.But the fourth uncle obviously issued another wrong order.I saw Huo Gang quickly passed the trap pit.Because the traps need to be passed one by one, when Huo Gang ran over, the rest of the people had no time to pass. At this moment, the general had already jumped in front of us, and there was a gust of cold wind that sent chills behind us.Everyone turned around immediately, only my fourth uncle and I still had a dagger, and there were no other weapons available.Everyone saw that the general floated over like riding a cloud, and he could jump four or five meters every time he floated.He floated out of the tomb from behind the screen and landed only twice, and then floated once more before arriving in front of us.

This is different from what the fourth uncle said before, because the fourth uncle said that zombies all jump, and a jump of two or three meters is also very fast.Although I have never seen a zombie, I still have doubts about the old zombie in front of me. Could it be that zombies walk differently because of different races? My fourth uncle and I took the lead in blocking the front, and my fifth uncle and Liu Ge were behind us.I yelled: "Liu Ge, go over quickly." At this time Liu Ge would not like to go over, but if she doesn't go, it will be a drag on me and my fourth uncle.She is different from Uncle Wu. Uncle Wu suffered a leg injury, while Liu Ge just has no strength. With her good physical fitness, there is no problem passing these two organs.Seeing that Liu Ge was unwilling to go, the fourth uncle scolded: "Stinky girl, hurry up, I want everyone to die here together." After the fourth uncle said this, Liu Ge turned around and ran along the wall.

When Liu Ge ran over the pit, the corpse king jumped over.My fourth uncle and I had no choice but to wave our arms to resist, but fortunately, my fourth uncle had practiced locking the corpse to fight against the corpse king.And because I used to have good Sanda skills, I was not under the pressure. The fourth uncle grabbed the corpse king's arm, walked around behind the corpse king, and stabbed the zombie's neck.I saw the fourth uncle stabbed the corpse king's neck, and then went around behind the corpse king, and stabbed the corpse king's neck.But this zombie is so powerful that before my dagger could go down, the old general threw us both away.

The fourth uncle and I who fell on the wall felt like we were staring at each other. We, who had lost blood in the tomb, were suddenly unable to move.But life is at stake, even if the body is injured, they have to stand up again.The thing rushed again soon, and since I was relatively close to the zombies, he locked his target on me.There was a burst of fear in my heart, and I saw that from the time the zombie jumped to land in front of me, his feet never fell to the ground.I thought to myself whether this is a zombie or a ghost, how can a zombie walk like this, it is no different from flying.When I was so nervous that I didn't know how to resist, my fourth uncle shot the zombie for the last time. I have seen a lot of movies, saying that the zombies in it are not afraid of guns and are completely fine.But what I saw was that after being shot, zombies had obvious fear of guns.Because the zombies are not only wounded by bullets, but also burned by gunpowder.But this was just a fear of the gun, when the fourth uncle couldn't shoot the bullet, the zombie still jumped over. This 700-year-old zombie's physical fitness is just different. Facing the killing of the bullets, although Smutatar yelled loudly, he was still so majestic when he jumped up again.But seeing him open his teeth and claws, he grabbed the fourth uncle.Uncle Wu seemed to have been prepared for a long time. Before the zombies could react, he ran to the trap pit, intending to directly lead the zombies into the mechanism.Zombies lack a certain degree of consciousness. To deal with this zombie general, Fourth Uncle's move is indeed a good way. Since the fourth uncle ran earlier, when he passed the trap hole, the trap hole just opened.When the zombie jumped over, it just landed in the pit of the trap.After the zombie jumps off, the slate is closed.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't expect this zombie to be dealt with so easily. Because the water flowing from the tomb of the "Shui" brand just now has not dried up, and the terrain in the direction of the tomb passage is relatively high, and a lot of water has accumulated in the position where I am.When I got up, I found that the clothes that were just a little dry started to get wet again.I asked Fourth Uncle, "Fourth Uncle, do you know what's under that trap?" The fourth uncle said: "I don't know, there should be a knife board or something under that place. It's like the trap pit under the first tomb." I think so, but isn't the trap pit below filled with water? It disappeared so soon, it seems that there is indeed a lot of space under the tomb.Because Uncle Wu had an injury on his leg and couldn't get through the pit, Huo Gang ran over and carried Uncle Wu through the pit on his back.In this way, even if everyone has passed, only I am still in the north. I adjusted my breathing and got ready to sprint, but when I ran through the trap pit, I heard a noise behind me, and then I saw the surprised expressions on everyone's faces.I knew that something must have happened to make everyone so scared. I turned around and saw that the zombie general who fell into the trap pit jumped out when I passed the trap pit.The zombie's body was full of broken swords and blades, and it was covered in scars, but the blood that flowed out was extremely bright red, not black and smelly like feces as fourth uncle said. The fourth uncle said with a sigh: "This old guy has become a genius." At the end of the tomb passage is a robbery cave, and if you want to leave the tomb passage, you must enter the robbery cave.Since entering the burglary will take a lot of time, you must keep people behind to block the zombies.With a tacit understanding, my fourth uncle and I blocked the zombies, and Huo Gang escorted Liu Ge and fifth uncle to retreat. The fourth uncle said: "Fifth, quickly throw me the body lock on your body." The fifth uncle took off the silver chain around his waist and threw it to the fourth uncle.Uncle Wu climbed over the iron pillar with Liu Ge after throwing away the body lock, only Huo Gang did not pass.Fourth Uncle received the corpse lock and put it on his waist, held the back of the dagger in his mouth, and then surrounded the zombies with me on the left and right. But seeing the fourth uncle took off with his strength, leaped to the top of the zombie, strangled the neck of the zombie with the corpse lock, and used his special skill of locking the corpse.In the past, even if this trick of Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate couldn't subdue the zombie, it would still knock the zombie to the ground.But now the fourth uncle can't even use half of his normal strength, let alone subdue the zombies.I saw that my fourth uncle was not strong enough, so I ran behind the zombie and pulled the chain of the corpse lock, pulling him to the ground. After the zombie fell to the ground, the fourth uncle was still riding on the neck of the zombie. Since the two arms of the zombie were stretched out straight, it was easy to hurt the fourth uncle.Of course, the fourth uncle is also aware of this problem.He immediately got up and pressed the zombie's thigh, and Huo Gang also ran over to help fourth uncle hold the zombie's thigh.After the zombie was suppressed, the fourth uncle was able to free his hand, but saw him take out a gold needle from the pocket of his down jacket and insert it into the Baihui acupoint on the back of the zombie's head. After the needle was inserted, I thought it would be like the fourth uncle told me before, black gas would come out of the zombie's mouth, and then the body would soften.But this trick didn't work. On the contrary, it stimulated the zombie's burst of strength.He threw me away first, then threw Huo Gang out, and then stood up straight.At this time, the fourth uncle shouted to me: "Yi Shui, climb quickly and climb over the iron pillar." It turned out that the zombies were coming towards me. Only then did I understand that Fourth Uncle asked me to climb over the iron pillars because he wanted me to bring the zombies into the mechanism.So I rushed to the barbed iron pillar immediately, and climbed forward at the corner of the iron pillar organ.Because of my crawling forward, the iron pillar began to swing from side to side, and the zombie jumping in mid-air couldn't withstand the force of a thousand kilograms, and was hit on the wall in an instant.When I climbed over the iron pillar mechanism, I thought the zombie would die in the tomb, but when I turned around, I saw the zombie pulling the iron pillar vigorously.In just one minute, all those iron pillars that seemed to us like a gate of hell fell into the tomb passage. I wanted to use the iron pillar as a barrier, but only now did I realize that all my efforts were in vain.Is this old zombie cursed to never die, and to be a zombie for thousands of generations?No, it's not a zombie, it should be a living dead.This is not a real zombie. A real zombie will not float when walking, but jump.Moreover, this zombie doesn't have corpse energy yet, so it will be troublesome, and he doesn't know how to subdue it, not even Fourth Uncle can do anything about it. At this time, the fourth uncle standing in the distance shouted to me: "Yi Shui, come quickly." I saw that Huo Gang and the fourth uncle had already stood on the other side of the trap pit, and I thought to myself, now they How come the speed is so fast.Taking advantage of Smuta Tasar's foot being pressed down by an iron pillar, I immediately ran to my fourth uncle.Seeing me running back to the tomb, the zombie broke free from the pressure of the iron pillar and immediately ran after me. Passing through the trap pit, I came to my fourth uncle and said, "Why did you get to the trap pit? Are you thinking about letting the zombies fall into that trap pit again? Oh, it's impossible, you didn't take a step at him Jump four or five meters away? The pit is only two meters long, so I can't catch him." At this time, I still complained about my fourth uncle's reluctance to leave the tomb just now, and he only wanted to catch the cat.I only heard the fourth uncle say: "It's not the pit, let's go to the tomb of the 'Huo' brand, there is coke there, you can use that to burn him." This idea is not bad, everyone walked into the tomb together, it seems that everyone is going to enter the tomb again.I asked, "Have you taken the key from the main tomb?" Fourth Uncle replied, "I took it down when the zombies pulled the iron pillar." That's when I felt that Fourth Uncle always did a good job. However, since the fourth uncle's searchlight had run out of electricity, it could only emit a weak light, so it was really difficult to re-enter the tomb.But there is no other way, the only way to deal with zombies is fire.In the "Huo" tomb, I had lingering fears. Not only was my leg burned there, but I also met many female ghosts, especially the woman who appeared on the lake.Fortunately, Huo Gang has been saving electricity, and now he still has two flashlights on his body. When they came, Huo Gang and the others bought new batteries, and Huo Gang bought two extra batteries himself. Later, he picked up Zhang Lei and Ding Meng's flashlights underground, which is equivalent to having four flashlights.Now there are two flashlights left, and the rest are used up.Looking at the novice flashlight, although it cannot be compared with searchlights, it is already considered the sun for us at this moment. I turned off the searchlight, and I wanted to wait for the critical moment so that I might be able to top it. After all, the battery of the searchlight can automatically store electricity.Although it has not been charged by a power source, although the effect of this automatic power storage is negligible, but once it is effective, the power will be like sending charcoal in a timely manner. Everyone entered the tomb of the "Mu" brand with their front feet, and the zombie followed him in.Since most of the zombies have broken swords and armor, we can hear not only the sound of big jumping footsteps, but also the sound of rattling metal.The fourth uncle took the key and went straight to the "Du" door, while Huo Gang and I stood at the door on the right side of the tomb and waited for the door to open. Since the fourth uncle had to distinguish the keys, the door of the tomb had not been opened for a long time, but the zombie had already jumped in.It may be because the fourth uncle is relatively close to the zombie, or it may be easier for the fourth uncle to deal with it alone, and the zombie went straight to the fourth uncle.Huo Gang saw that the zombie only took the fourth uncle, so he immediately pointed the flashlight at the zombie.The zombie was attracted by the flashlight, and stopped for a while. This kind of negative species belongs to abnormal substances in nature, and they are more afraid and fearful of strong light.So when Huo Gang took a picture of the zombie, the zombie flicked left and right, feeling at a loss.After Huo Gang's photo, this bought time for the fourth uncle to open the mechanism. I saw my fourth uncle running towards me, followed by the tomb door slowly opening, and everyone retreated to the "Huo" tomb.When retreating, Fourth Uncle's flashlight explored the way, and Huo Gang's flashlight continued to fend off zombies.Since the power of the flashlight will decrease after retreating, the zombies will follow. This is the tomb of the "Huo" brand, and a fire boy once appeared in this tomb.Because the fourth uncle fired a shot at the fire boy, the tomb immediately caught fire.The lower layer of the tomb was filled with tar, and the smell was relatively strong. Fortunately, there was insufficient oxygen in the tomb, so the fire was extinguished.When Fourth Uncle and the others left this tomb, Liu Ge and I also encountered a bunch of female ghosts in this tomb.Most of these female ghosts are used to grow vampire vines, and they are all brides to be married. They are very resentful, and they almost died here.And Liu Ge's lack of energy was also caused in this tomb. Since the air in the tomb of the "Jin" brand is relatively good, and the door of the tomb has been blown up by the fourth uncle, the unburned tar here can continue to be ignited.But the question is, how can this general be led into the fire pit, and whoever still has fire on him can light this tar. Since Fourth Uncle had a detonator, he must have a lighter. It's just that so much water was poured in the "Shui" tomb just now, and I don't know if Fourth Uncle's lighter can still be used.At this time, the fourth uncle shouted: "Everyone jump on the table in the fire pit." It was too late, and it was fast, and the fourth uncle took off and jumped on the table as if flying.I also jumped on the case last time, but because the case was too small, I fell into the fire pit, and my foot still hurts.I definitely can't jump over it. If I have to go up, I must climb up a few cases instead of jumping up a few cases. Huo Gang was still using the flashlight to control the zombies. He retreated to the fire pit and jumped onto the table.At this time, the fourth uncle shot the flashlight at the zombie. Seeing that I didn't jump up, he threw the lighter on his body to me and said, "Look at the zombie jumping into the fire pit, you should light it immediately." Got a good job. The fourth uncle slowly moved the light towards the fire pit, and the zombies also moved forward slowly.When they were about to reach the fire pit, Fourth Uncle and Huo Gang turned off the flashlights at the same time.I don’t know if everyone has this feeling, that is, when you are illuminated by a flashlight, the light on the other side is suddenly turned off, and you will feel that there is darkness in front of you.The fourth uncle also understood this truth well. After he and Huo Gang turned off the flashlight, they saw the zombie staggering and jumping into the fire pit. Seeing the zombies jumping in, I immediately went to light a lighter, but I didn't expect that the lighter was not wet and lit.I immediately sent the fire to the edge of the fire pit, and then the whole fire pit lit up.Fourth Uncle and Huo Gang had jumped out of the fire pit at this time, while the zombies were still baring their teeth and claws in the fire pit. The ground of the fire pit was somewhat uneven, and the zombie fell down. His body was covered with oil and he got up all over.The three of us saw the zombie on fire, so we ran to the next tomb. When we opened the side door to the "Shui" tomb, we heard the sound of the zombie falling to the ground behind us.The crowd ran all the way, passed through the tomb of the "Shui" brand, and returned to the door of the main tomb. I asked my fourth uncle, "Shall we go in and take something out now?" Fourth Uncle used to be considered a tomb robber, now that he was out of danger, of course he wanted to take something out.I saw Uncle Wu and Liu Ge at the other end of the tomb passage, so I shouted, "Wait a while, we're fine, we'll be right back." Then, the three returned to the main tomb.Regarding the burial objects in the tomb, the fourth uncle said to pick some valuable ones that can be taken away.But I don't think there is anything valuable in this tomb, because the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty have always been frugal.Those calligraphy and paintings are nothing to watch, but the gold, silver and jade wares here can still be considered.Jade is too big and easy to break, so it is not the first choice, only gold and silver can be taken.When I went to pick up those silver ingots, my fourth uncle stopped me. He said, "Those are not worth much. A silver ingot costs tens of thousands of yuan. Let's go to the ice coffin at the back." The three of them came to the ice coffin at the back, and saw a long sword scattered on the broken ice. The sword was more than one meter long, and the blade was extremely sharp and free of copper rust.Fourth Uncle picked up the sword and said, "Good sword." Followed by the fourth uncle with the sword to turn over the ice, I saw that there was a dagger inside. This dagger was like a crescent moon with a curved hook. It was not an ordinary item at a glance.The fourth uncle picked up the dagger, gave it to Huo Gang, and said: "Little brother, this dagger is very good, you can keep it, but don't let others see it." Huo Gang took the dagger and put it on his body with satisfaction. I saw a small box from under my feet. I picked up the small box and saw a piece of jade shaped like a tiger inside.This jade is finely crafted and exquisitely made, and the tiger is majestic and majestic.I looked at the indistinct writing on the tiger's back. I looked at the lamp and saw that it was engraved in Chinese, with the words "Great Yuan Soldiers Talisman" written on it.I put this thing in my arms, thinking that I must take one out as a souvenir. There were several military books inside the coffin, all of which were in Mongolian. At that time, everyone felt that it was of little value to take it out, so they did not take it.The other items in the coffin were nothing more than pillows and clothes, nothing special anymore. The fourth uncle said to himself: "I thought there was a night pearl, but it seems that there is no more." Huo Gang said: "Isn't this zombie filled with mercury, then there is no need for a night pearl." Only then did the fourth uncle remember that this Smutatar did not have a night pearl.Since there were not many things obtained, everyone planned to pick some valuable things from the funeral objects. Just when everyone walked to the funeral objects, I heard Liu Ge yelling outside.I immediately ran out of the tomb, while my fourth uncle and Huo Gang grabbed a few handfuls from the funeral objects and put them in my arms.
