Chapter 52 Chapter 11 The Phantom of the Hanging Coffin is True or False 2

At this moment, the sky was bright. A mountain dweller in his fifties passed by here.We stopped him and asked him about the hanging coffin. "These fairy coffins have existed for a long time, but no one knows how they were put up, who was sleeping inside, and when it happened. However, I heard from my grandfather that these hanging coffins seem to be foreign It is said that if the body is suspended in the air, the soul can go to the sky and enter the earth, gain divine power, and protect future generations..." "Have you had zombies here before?" "Yes, it happened a long time ago. Our village invited dozens of mages with advanced spells to practice it, and there was no more trouble. But..."

"But what?" "But later someone said that the zombie wasn't a zombie at all, it was dressed up by people." "Why do people dress up as zombies?" "Dressing up as a zombie is to steal treasure." "What treasure to steal? What treasure can be stolen here?" "You don't know, there is still a legend about the hanging coffin." "What legend?" "This legend has something to do with Shi Dakai's hidden treasure. In the seventh year of Xianfeng, Shi Dakai left Tianjing and led tens of thousands of troops to various places in the south of the Yangtze River. Luxi and Yongsui entered Laifeng, Hubei via Longshan in the first year of Tongzhi, and then entered Sichuan. It is said that Shi Dakai carried a number of gold, silver and jewels with the army, which were scattered in the mountains around Chenzhou Prefecture and Yongshun Prefecture. Some people say that Shi Dakai Fearing that the treasure would be discovered by others, they dug holes in the cliffs of Longshan and other places to place hanging coffins, and put gold, silver and jewels in the coffins to deceive people."

"Then is this legend true? Are there any gold, silver and jewels in the hanging coffin?" "Ghost knows! In our area, it is very taboo to pry into other people's coffins. Prying out the coffins of dead souls will result in retribution. Therefore, I don't know whether it is people or gold and silver jewels inside." "Is no one curious, have you gone up to see it?" "Yes, it is said that the people who go up are all grave robbers. After hearing these legends, they often take advantage of the darkness to dress up as zombies, climb up the hanging coffin, pry the coffin and steal jewels."

"Then has anyone ever stolen jewels?" "No one knows, because even if someone goes up, the person who stole the jewels will never say anything, so this has always been a mystery." What the mountain man said once again surprised us. "Xiucai, do you think the zombie we saw just now is a real zombie? Or a treasure thief?" Tian Gudao asked, which aroused our interest. Everyone guessed.I think it is a zombie, because it is impossible for ordinary people to go up to such a high hanging coffin. Tian Xiaomei made a sudden awakening: "It is really possible that it is a treasure thief. I seem to feel his hands are warm."

Tian Xiaomei asked Wang Erya, Wang Erya shook her head and said, "I don't remember, I was so frightened at that time, my skin was numb all over, how could I feel the temperature." Regarding that guy, whether it is a zombie or a treasure thief, several people have not argued, and they may be as confused as the mountain people here... Several people rested for a while under the cliff of the hanging coffin, and continued on their way. On the way, I secretly discussed with Tian Gudao, no matter what this time, we must get the antidote to the poison. Therefore, Tian Gudao began to play a beauty trick to curry favor with the two women, focusing on Wang Erya.

However, Wang Erya didn't appreciate it at all, and kept calling Tian Gudao a whore.Tian Gudao is very angry, and it is not easy to get angry. At noon, we finally climbed over the rock and went down the hillside, but saw a river lying horizontally in front of us.The current of the river is very fast, and the water surface is four feet wide. We are a little dumbfounded.I looked left and right, but there were no boats. This is a mountainous place with few people and no human habitation. We had no choice but to go upstream along the river for about five or six miles, but the current showed no signs of slowing down.

I and Tian Gudao decided to cross the river, otherwise it would take a lot of time. We chose a place where the current was slightly gentle. Tian Gudao went down to the river first to test the depth of the water. He waded through it.After turning back, Tian Gudao had to carry Tian Xiaomei and Wang Erya across the river first. The two women refused to live or die, saying that men and women would not kiss each other.In fact, I know that in the Tujia cottage in Fenghuang, there is such a custom: if a woman who has not left the court is betrayed by a man, then she must marry this man. Seeing the expressions of the two women, I really wanted to laugh.Tian Gudao had no choice but to look at me innocently.

I went to the forest with Tian Gudao, broke a few bundles of bamboo, tied them with mountain vines, and made a temporary raft. Due to the small size of the raft and its limited bearing capacity, only three people can be transported at a time, and it is necessary to cross the river in several trips. We first transported Qiu Sha's body and the ghost cub across the river, and finally, Tian Gudao took the two women over the river. Tian Xiaomei was a little dizzy and stood in front of the bamboo raft with a flustered expression.The pole in Tian Gudao's hand was one deep and the other shallow, the raft was wobbling, and the two women screamed on the bamboo raft.

When walking to the middle of the river, the pole in Tian Gudao's hand suddenly sent back, the speed of the raft suddenly increased, Tian Xiaomei didn't stand still, and fell into the river with a plop. "Help, help..." Tian Xiaomei kept thumping her hands in the water, choking on the water from time to time, with a flustered expression. Seeing Tian Xiaomei falling into the water, Wang Erya jumped into the river and lifted Tian Xiaomei up. The two stood up straight, but saw that the river only reached their waists. Tian Xiaomei regained her composure, probably feeling that she had lost her composure just now, her face was embarrassing, and her appearance was very funny.

Tian Gudao and Wang Erya pulled Tian Xiaomei back onto the bamboo raft. Tian Xiaomei didn't dare to stand anymore, and simply lay flat on the raft. After a while of tossing, Tian Xiaomei finally got ashore with the support of several people.Drenched all over, Tian Xiaomei was very embarrassed. The clothes in the packages of Wang Erya and Tian Xiaomei were also soaked in water on the raft, so it was inconvenient to change them. So we had no choice but to find a secluded place, gathered some dry firewood, lit a fire, and let the two women dry their wet clothes.We stand back to one side.

I took out the "Book of Changes" that I carried with me and looked at it.The township examination is getting closer and closer, so I have to hurry up and read more books to review what I have read in the past.Tian Gudao was so bored, he dug out the "Shangshu" from my pocket, read the book like me, read it for a while, and shouted: "What kind of crap, these characters know me, I don't They." Then he threw the book aside, looked in the direction of the two women who were drying clothes, and said to me: "Xiucai, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the antidote to the poison this time." "Xiu Cai, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the antidote to Gu poison this time." Tian Gudao said to me while the two women were drying their clothes. I pondered for a while, and then said, "It's not completely impossible." "What way? Tell me quickly!" "I'm afraid you can't do it." "Help is important. If there is anything you can't do, just say it." I called Tian Gudao to me and whispered to him. "Xiucai, you are really bad, thank you for thinking it out, hehe..." We sat quietly for a while, guessing that the time was almost up, so Tian Gudao followed suit. Tian Gudao sneaked to the fire pit of the two women, peeking inside.For a long time, he actually stayed there without moving.I don't see it right.This guy probably saw the woman's body, his eyes were straightened, and he forgot the business. It turned out that the two women dried the clothes on their bodies one by one, dried one piece, hung it on the surrounding branches, and then dried the clothes inside.After a while, the clothes of the two were basically taken off, and they were hung all over the surrounding trees, a large area of ​​colorful. The ghost cub picked up the slingshot and shot at Tian Gudao's buttocks. Tian Gudao was hit in the buttocks. He was in great pain, but he didn't dare to make a sound. Then he woke up like a dream, and put the dried clothes of the two women on the branches together. Received each item. Not long after, Tian Gudao brought back a large pile of women's clothes, with an overjoyed look on his face: "Xiucai, I took all the coats of those two women, and now each of them only has one coat that can barely cover them." The underwear of the body!" So, I yelled towards the fire: "Miss Tian, ​​is it almost ready, ready to open the way!" After a while, I saw a scream from over there: "Oh my god, our drying clothes are gone. Xiucai, have you seen our clothes?" We replied: "Where did we see your clothes?" "Impossible! We dried it and put it on the surrounding branches. Could it be that there are thieves?" "That's right, maybe a clothes thief stole your clothes!" "Are you kidding me? This place is very remote, and you can't even see ghosts. Where can there be any thieves?" "Don't worry, we will help you find it." "Hurry up..." Tian Gudao and I pretended to turn around, and then came back: "I found it, your clothes were thrown not far away. It is estimated that the thief saw that there was nothing valuable, so he left." "Stop the gossip, and quickly bring our clothes here." "Okay, I'll send it to you right away." "Don't, don't, you can't come over, we don't have any clothes on, it's inconvenient, you should throw your clothes over." "It's okay to give you the clothes, but you also have to thank us!" "How can I thank you?" "For example, give us the antidote to Gu poison, what do you think?" Tian Gudao finally got to the point. "I knew that there were no thieves at all. It was you who stole it. It was nothing more than wanting an antidote, shameless things." Wang Erya cursed. "Whether you want clothes or not, think about it for yourself. It's indecent in the wilderness, naked, and the surrounding area is deserted, and there are no weaving shops to buy cloth, and the mountain wind is very strong..." I Pretending to remind you kindly. "Shameless, you are so shameless, you are still not a man for using such indecent means!" Tian Xiaomei said angrily. "We're not men, we're corpse chasers. Is this considered a scumbag? It's much better than a scumbag who releases Gu." "You will die badly, your Gu poison will attack immediately, and your whole body will be swollen and festered." Wang Erya started to splash it. "Curse freely, we'll leave first, I won't accompany you. You stay here slowly, except for some poisonous snakes, big insects and leopards that come out at night, there shouldn't be too many ghosts." I said intentionally scare them. No words over there.Then we pretended to pack up and get ready to leave. When we drove the dead body away for two feet, a roar finally came from behind: "Bastard, stop!" "Are you willing to hand over the antidote?" "Excuse me, you don't have Gu poison at all, saying that your Gu poison was released is to scare you!" Tian Xiaomei said. "I really didn't cast Gu on you. I said that in the first place, just to blackmail you." Wang Erya also vowed on the side. "Who would believe it!" "I really didn't release your Gu..." "You have lost your integrity. You have been lied to several times before. Don't lie to us again this time!" I was a little impatient. "Don't believe me? Then let me ask you, do you have any abnormal symptoms? Do you feel poisoned?" Tian Xiaomei reminded us. "I don't feel any strange feeling now, but it doesn't mean I haven't been poisoned by Gu poison. Gu poison develops slowly. Some of them take several years to flare up. Don't lie to us anymore." I retorted. "Xiucai, don't pay attention to these two liars, let's hurry!" Tian Gudao pretended to urge me to go on the road. So we set off on our way again. "Slow! I admit that I lied to you, okay, we will give you the antidote!" Probably afraid that we would really leave, Tian Xiaomei finally admitted that she had cast a voodoo on us. So, we stopped moving forward.In order to prevent the two women from lying to us again, Tian Gudao threw a coat over: "Wang Erya, put on the clothes first, and take out the antidote!" Wang Erya quickly put on her coat, took out a small blue and white porcelain bottle from the package beside her, opened the lid, and poured out some medicinal powder for us. "How do we know this is the antidote?" I had an extra thought. "After taking this antidote, the whole body will become hot, sweat profusely, and the meridians will be unblocked. After several sneezes, the poison will be relieved by itself." Wang Erya replied. "If we find that it is not the antidote, we will throw the clothes in our hands into the river." Tian Gudao took the antidote and took it quickly, while threatening again. After taking these powders, we were really hot and sweaty, our heart beat faster, and we felt the torrent rushing in our blood vessels.After a while, he was sneezing non-stop, and after a while, he suddenly felt his whole body's spirit lifted, and he felt a lot more relaxed. At this time, Wang Erya snatched the clothes from our hands and ran over to change clothes with Tian Xiaomei. After changing clothes, the two women returned to their previous expressions. Wang Erya smiled strangely: "How do you feel after taking the antidote?" Damn, have you fallen into this little girl's trick again? "Haha...haha... the antidote you took just now is not an antidote at all, but the second layer of Gu poison powder. After taking the second layer of Gu drug, the toxicity of the first layer of Gu drug is even greater In this way, even the most skilled pharmacist will not be able to cure the poison we have injected." Wang Erya let out a terrifying laugh. God, it really hit the trick! In fact, I expected in advance that this girl would play tricks, but we had no choice but to trust her in order to get the antidote. Hearing what she said, Tian Gudao's face turned purple with anger, his veins bulged, and he rushed to Wang Erya's back with one stride, clamped her, and pinched her neck: "You stinky bitch, believe me! If you don’t believe me, I will strangle you to death!” "You pinch me, strangle me to death, if you don't strangle, you are not a man..." Wang Erya was not afraid, panting heavily, while her tone was firm.She knew that Tian Gudao would not dare to act rashly before he was fully sure of getting the antidote.Being controlled by others, there is really no way to deal with them. Seeing softness and hardness, Tian Gudao let go of Wang Erya like a discouraged ball. "Listen up, don't use such insidious tricks in the future, and make our lady happy. Maybe one day our lady is happy, and it is possible for us to give you the antidote. But, you have to remember one sentence In other words, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, so let’s cook it slowly. If it doesn’t make us happy in a lifetime, let’s cook it for a lifetime.” Wang Erya showed a triumphant smile.We were shaking with anger.These two girls are real and fake, we are completely confused.I don't know which of them to believe. I even wondered if we owed them in our previous life, otherwise how would we have met their two enemies. "Xiucai, the most poisonous woman's heart, the most poisonous woman's heart! We can't afford to offend, we can always hide, let these two bitches get out of here, out of sight, out of sight." Tian Gudao's words surprised me.Tian Gudao has always had a good impression of these two women, and insisted on letting them follow us. Before I wanted to drive them away, he even came forward to intercede, and said that he was doing something like "Hua Pai chases away corpses".Now his attitude has suddenly changed. It seems that after being teased many times, he has lost confidence in these two women. Tian Gudao's idea is exactly what I want.Although I don't have any malice towards these two women now, it's not very convenient to take a woman with you when you drive the corpse. In addition, the more people there are in the corpse team, the more difficult it is to move, and it also affects the speed. So, we decided to let the two girls leave and stop following us.Seeing us ordering them to leave, Tian Xiaomei and Wang Erya kept their mouths hard, but they didn't move their feet. I guess, if you want to go back, you can only go the same way now.But there were zombies on the road, hanging coffins, dangerous roads, and wading through water. I guess they were timid and scared, so they didn't dare to turn back rashly, and seemed to want to follow us. During the stalemate, suddenly, footsteps came from behind.My heart tightened, how could anyone come and go in such a remote place? When we turned around, we saw a man dressed as a walker. When he was in doubt, he saw the man speak first and uttered Du Mu's poem: Counting the new trees and green shadows, Yifeng demeanor is fascinated by spring. Yiyi hates his hometown Fanchuan, Half cover the village bridge and half brush the stream. It turned out that I was a disciple of the Liu School, and the poem I recited just now was to test whether we are also disciples of the Liu School. I quickly called back: The swaying provokes the wind to blow, and the softness of the embankment wins the silk. If you are strong, you will know, but if you are weak, you will not be able to hold on. Learn to dance with branches and sleeves, and make up leaves and eyebrows. How to climb and fold, Huaiyou wrote poems again. After hearing my answer, the man hurried over to make a gesture.After chatting with him, I realized that he was the third senior brother whom I had never met. Recently, under the orders of my master, Xiang Tianpu, I specially notified all the disciples to prepare to participate in the corpse exorcism meeting every two years. Tian Gudao and I also hurriedly saluted.The third senior brother was a little confused when he saw the walking corpse flag carried on the shoulders of Gui Zai Yao, and saw two women beside him. Tian Gudao and I told him that it was okay, so he pulled us aside and explained in a low voice: "This year's Corpse Exorcism Conference will be held in Wulong Mountain, Longshan County in ten days. All disciples of our Liu Sect must make careful preparations." Participate enthusiastically, it is best to have a new special skill, or a demonstration of the unique skill of exorcising corpses that I have learned by myself, so as to promote my secret technique of exorcising corpses and promote the reputation of my willow school." After some explanations, the third senior brother drifted away immediately. I asked Tian Xiaomei and Wang Erya to follow closely, so I could be more courageous and take care of them. The two women didn't appreciate it and stood still.Knowing that we didn't want to take them with us, the two of them turned angry and walked away angrily. "Xiucai, nothing will happen to them..." Looking at the thin backs of the two, Tian Gudao felt a little worried again, and seemed to have a little bit of self-blame. I pulled Tian Gudao past: "It's going to be the corpse exorcism meeting soon. At that time, all corpse exorcism sects will participate, and Master will also go. If they know that we exorcise corpses and bring women with us, I'm afraid they will laugh, Master. I can't hold back my face. It's fine, let them go!" Hearing what I said, Tian Gudao felt that it made sense, so he didn't say anything. After the two women left, the bustle on the road was gone, and it seemed a lot deserted. We seldom talked, and continued to drive the dead bodies.
