After Mu Sicheng absorbed the strength of Bai Liu and his wife, he barely maintained his human form, and led Bai Liu to the depths of the tomb passage.
But even though Mu Sicheng was walking in front of Bai Liu, there was only the sound of Bai Liu's footsteps in the dark tomb passage.
Bai Liu held up the candlestick to shine on Mu Sicheng who was walking in front, and glanced at Mu Sicheng's shadow on the wall from the corner of his eye.
Mu Sicheng's swaying shadow became fainter and fainter, like a wisp of smoke reflected on the wall.
From time to time, we encountered one or two wine jars placed between the tomb passages on the road.
Mu Sicheng carefully stood in front of Bai Liu, letting her go around from behind her, so as not to touch the wine jar.
The wine jar seemed to smell the breath of a stranger, and slowly turned half a circle as Bai Liu walked, and the sealed red paper slightly arched twice, after smelling the breath of ghosts on Mu Sicheng's door, And slowly subsided.
Mu Sicheng heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and glanced at the wine jar quietly guarding in the middle of the road, and patted his chest with lingering fear: "There is also this wine jar in Xitang, I don't know if I chased people. What's in it."
"That thing contained the bones of a drowned person, chasing the breath of a stranger." Bai Liu asked Mu Sicheng, "Do you still remember when this wine jar chased you? ?”
Mu Sicheng was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and pondered for a moment: "...I don't really remember, I feel like after I escaped, this wine jar didn't pay much attention to me."
Bai Liu pondered: "Then your body should have been lost on the way out of Xitang. Apart from you turning around to save me, did any strange things happen during that time?"
Mu Sicheng tried hard to recall: "...I don't remember clearly, it seems that I met a paper man with something on it..."
Behind Bai Liu, there was a strange sound of footsteps stepping on confetti. The footsteps stopped and made a sound, as if something was jumping down the stairs, and each sound was heavy and heavy. The sound of both feet landing, it sounds like walking very slowly, but it is almost instantly approaching Bai Liu's back.
The candlestick in Bai Liu's hand shook violently, and the flame turned green in an instant. He quickly pulled Mu Sicheng into a nearby tomb passage, hid behind Mu Sicheng, and folded his hands to cover the dim light of the candle. .
Under the very faint candlelight, a pair of strong and blue-white hands jumped out of the damp and dark low tomb passage, with black and sharp nails.
The hand jumped again, and finally revealed the body hidden behind in the darkness. With these hands was a young man wearing a mandarin jacket and shorts with a yellow charm on his forehead.
This young man is tall and strong, his complexion is an abnormal purple, his lips are black, his eyes are sunken, he is staring straight ahead, two long fangs are stuck in his flesh, The knees jumped forward without bending, and there was an old yellow talisman on the forehead, which seemed to fall off at any time due to the jump.
Bai Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at the yellow talisman, and confirmed that the spell drawn on the yellow talisman was the yin corpse talisman in "Maoshan Sorcery", which was used to refine the dead into yin corpses.
After being refined, the yin corpse can be used by the person who drew the talisman, but sometimes the person who drew the talisman will also suffer backlash.
Through the dusty mandarin jacket, one can vaguely see that there is a deep and visible gash on the back of this young man's zombie, which was simply and roughly sewn up, but most of it was sewn up after death. The spine inside is also visible at the stitched place.
This incision should be the fatal wound of this young man.
The zombie jumped extremely fast, and jumped high and high from the front of Bai Liu in just one move, but then, a second zombie jumped out from the darkness behind.
This zombie is about the same age as the previous one, both young and middle-aged, and there is also a wound on its neck, on its neck.
The head of this zombie was chopped off and almost cut off, and it was stitched back together, but the stitcher's craftsmanship was obviously not very good, as the zombie's neck cracked as it jumped, the head fell to the side, with black eye sockets Go straight to the white willows hiding in the shadowy tomb.
The nasal cavity of the crooked-necked zombie moved twice, as if it smelled the smell of a stranger, an angry look appeared on its stiff face, and with its arms raised flat, it jumped into the grave. .
Mu Sicheng stood in front of Bai Liu with a tense expression, and Bai Liu hid behind Mu Sicheng's shoulder, hiding the candlestick behind the back with one hand, and calmly covered his mouth with the other. nose.
The zombie tilted its head, opened its mouth full of fangs, approached Mu Sicheng's left neck with a sullen expression, sniffed it twice, it seemed that as soon as it smelled a stranger, it would be fierce After biting down, Mu Sicheng had never been so close to a zombie before, his hairs stood on end, but he didn't dare to move.
At this moment, Bai Liu was hiding behind Mu Sicheng's right shoulder, back to back with Mu Sicheng.
Zombies have poor eyesight, travel under the moon, and like to eat human blood. They rely on their sense of smell to find people. They like to smell people's seven orifices, where the vitality circulates. Therefore, it is recorded in "Maoshan Magic" that there are zombies appearing in this place. You should sleep face down, so that when zombies go from house to house to sniff and bite people in the bed, they will not be able to find you.
The zombie sniffed Mu Sicheng's face carefully, with a faint confusion on the tilted head, bared his fangs viciously, and turned suddenly to Mu Sicheng's left shoulder Explore.
Bai Liu, whose back was facing the zombie, seemed to have noticed the zombie's movement, moved a step, and hid behind Mu Sicheng's right shoulder.
After going back and forth like this several times, the zombie finally got annoyed, mumbled as if cursing something, poked Mu Sicheng's shoulder with his nails, and after confirming that the other party was a ghost, turned his hands away and left.
Mu Sicheng's whole body, oh no, the ghost was about to collapse, he leaned against the white willow pedestal and let out a sigh of relief, wiping off the cold sweat that didn't exist on his face: "Finally gone..."
"It's not over yet." Bai Liu's voice came softly from behind Mu Sicheng, "There should be five more zombies, a total of seven zombies."
As soon as Bai Liu's voice fell, a new zombie jumped out in front of Mu Sicheng. This new zombie was just like the previous zombie. He was very curious about Mu Sicheng who was exuding a stranger's breath, and stuck out his fangs a few times. After some spying, he left without interest.
As a result, after a while, another zombie jumped out, and stretched out its head to sniff the stranger's breath on Mu Sicheng's bed. Once Bai Liu was born again, he managed to hide with Mu Sicheng's flexibility. So much so that the zombie also thought that Mu Sicheng was just a ghost who was still exuding anger not long after he died.
The zombie bared its teeth and threatened Mu Sicheng a few words, then poked Mu Sicheng's shoulder with his nails, and slapped him out.
Mu Sicheng couldn't understand the zombie's words, but based on the expression of the zombie brother, the other party should be scolding "If you're not human, get out."
Mu Sicheng: "..."
While that seems to be the case, it does sound like a curse.
This process repeated six times in a row, except for the zombie who came to nudge Mu Sicheng at the beginning, every zombie after that came to sniff Mu Sicheng, and some even bit Mu Sicheng. Sighing, he left in disgust, and then waited for the next zombie to repeat the process.
Mu Sicheng, who was bitten into two holes on both sides of his neck and face, had nothing to love: "..."
Are you sharks! Why don't you inform each other if you take a bite and it doesn't taste good! You have to bite me again!
But Mu Sicheng now finds that being a ghost is also good, so he is not so afraid of these things anymore.
Until the seven zombies passed in front of the Bai Liumen, there was no more beating sound from the tomb passage. Just as Mu Sicheng was about to probe to make sure there was something behind, he was caught by the behind Bai Liu. Stay in shape.
Bai Liu turned to the pitch-black corridor: "There are still things broken, there are noises, don't go out."
Mu Sicheng held his breath and concentrated for a long time, but he didn't hear any sound, but his nose was always good, so he smelled a very greasy scent of incense candles.
Slowly, Mu Sicheng also heard a creaking sound, just like the sound of someone walking on paper, it was thin and indistinct, but in the dark tomb passage Echoing back and forth, very clear.
Bai Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, and as he headed into the depths of the tomb passage, a flickering orange light was flickering, like ghosts and ghosts, and floating lights on the river, making it difficult for people to tell the distance, but it was real. feel close.
In the distance, the yellow fire got closer and closer, and finally people could see the real content hidden in the yellow fire.
Mu Sicheng saw countless tall incense candles burning on a huge triangular copper censer, burning blazingly, and the sparks fluttered around, illuminating the entire tomb passage like daylight. , which is a paper figurine that was crushed to the point of being deformed.
The whole body of this paper figurine was flattened and deformed under the huge force of the censer, and the joyfully painted face was also crushed into a wrinkled and stacked weird expression, and the clothes on it It was so squeezed that I couldn't tell what the original painting was.
The paper people carried the incense burners forward one by one, and from time to time, sparks floated down to ignite the paper people who were carrying the incense burners.
The paper figurines were ignited by sparks, and the body burned rapidly. In the flames that burned them into curls and deformations, Mu Sicheng heard the paper figurines' dazzling fire. There was a strange laugh.
"Hee hee~"
"Hee hee~"
The swaying incense burner and the burning paper figurines walked past Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu as if they were light and heavy, and a Taoist made of paper followed at the end of the line carrying the incense burner.
This paper man is the most exquisitely made paper man. His face is lifelike, his facial features are delicately depicted like a real person, he has black eyebrows and long beard, and his expression is dignified. There is only a pair of eyes without beads, and there are no eyeballs in the middle of the eye sockets. .
In addition, this paper Taoist figure is also covered with talisman papers. With one hand and two fingers raised together over the top of the head, one hand is holding Jinling, the other hand is holding the peach sword and pointing to the incense burner in front. The eyeballs are made of white ink, and he walks straight forward with one step of his left foot and one step of his right foot, making the sound of walking on paper that Mu Sicheng heard before.
In such a strange scene, Mu Sicheng quickly retracted his courage, which had rapidly inflated just because he was a ghost, pulled Bailiu's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "What... is this doing?"
Bai Liu licked the paper Taoist: "The paper man drives away the corpse."
