Although it was my second time at the unmarked cemetery, the dark feeling didn't change at all. While Old Wang was chanting, I didn't idle around either. I carefully observed my surroundings. It would be convenient to escape in any situation. I'm not like the last time I was lost.
"This way." Old Wang stopped chanting and pointed to the east.
[Wuwuwu ~ Wuwuwu ~ ~" The wind blew with a familiar sound. Damn, don't tell me those ghosts suddenly ran out again. If I were to be tossed around by them again, I think I would have burped before I could find the corpse flower.
Old Wang seemed to have seen through my thoughts, because ever since I entered the unmarked cemetery, I never took even half a step away from him. I always stuck close to his side. Most people, as they neared death, yearned to live even more. Moreover, I don't want to die young when I am a person who values his life like me.
So when Old Wang mocked me, saying why I was so timid, I was too lazy to bother with him.
"Stinky brat, can you stay away from me? The two old masters are so close together, if you don't be ashamed, I'll be ashamed!" As I walked, Old Wang suddenly stopped and looked at me with disdain.
"This unmarked grave belongs to your family. I'll take my leave wherever I want. It's a hindrance to you, so I'll blabber on!" If it wasn't for the fact that I could be safer in an emergency, the old man would have thought I was willing to get close to him. Anyway, I had already made up my mind that if there was another ghost baby or something, I would be the first one to stop Old Wang, so he wouldn't have to push me out again.
"This is a string of buddhist beads. You wear it to avoid evil, so normal ghosts would not dare to approach you. "This time, I was fully prepared when I went out. If those little things dare to appear again, they'll die for sure!" Old Wang handed me a string of buddhist beads and walked off on his own.
In the past I didn't believe these things, but during this period of time I experienced so many things that no one could understand, so naturally I accepted the buddhist beads that Old Wang gave me.
Along the way, Old Wang had a lot of complaints about me, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"This is the place." Old Wang picked at the bones on the ground and pointed at them. "Prepare to dig."
After saying that, Old Wang stood to the side and looked at it. He pinched his fingers together as if he did not know what it meant. Then, he walked to an empty space in front of me and inserted a white candle into it. Seeing my confusion, Old Wang explained to me that the candle was stuck in the direction above Xue Rou's head. Then, he took out a bottle of white wine. Using the candle he inserted just now as the starting point, I don't know what he was drawing.
It wasn't until he'd circled around that I realized Old Wang had been drawing a figure. He was marking the position of the body to prevent me from damaging it when I dug it up later.
After exiting the area of the corpse, Old Wang returned to the candle and closed his eyes as he made some strange gestures with his hands. I guessed that it was probably the same kind of technique that he used when he struck the Ghost Infant.
After a while, Old Wang opened his eyes and took out a ball of red string from his bag. He buried it at the corpse's feet, telling me that it was a trap and that he had lit the candle to ask the deceased's opinion. If he did not agree, the candle would be extinguished.
As for the dragnet made of red rope, it's specially used to trap the evil spirits. Old Wang did this to prevent the ghost from going berserk when I was digging the corpse. When the time comes, both he and I will be in trouble.
After doing all this, Old Wang told me to start.
Who would have thought that a dignified eight foot tall man like me would be reduced to digging into a grave one day, alas! I grumbled in my heart, but my hands didn't stop moving. I wanted to finish up early and go home. After all, this place wasn't a place for people to stay.
I don't know how long I've been digging for, but my hands are so sore that I haven't even seen a bone. Maybe it's because I used all my strength, but the cold and gloomy feeling isn't there anymore. Although it was very hot and sweat was flowing all over my face, but compared to that dark feeling, only a normal person would be able to react like this.
Thinking about this, I didn't care about the heat anymore and dug even more.
"Hey, old man, you don't have to say. Digging graves is quite interesting. When I first came here, I felt very dark. Now, when I move, I don't feel that way anymore."
"Say, do you think I'll dig up some treasures or something like that? Isn't that what you see in TV shows?"
I thought that I hadn't heard Old Wang's voice in a long time. I teased him as I dug, but even though I said a few words, I didn't hear him respond to me.
"Old Wang?" I turned my head and tried to shout, but I still couldn't hear Old Wang's response. This old fellow has always been the smartest. He couldn't be worried that I would ask him for help and run off to the side to be lazy, right? The crafty fox, that's who he is. Forget it, who asked him to help me. I've already found the place, what else is there for me to be dissatisfied with.
However, I still hope that the old fellow will meet some evil spirits or something and let him move his muscles. After all, he hasn't used his saber in a long time. What's more, that old geezer, Old Wang, always looked so unreliable. It was better to let him fight first and increase his sense of crisis.
After digging for about one meter, I finally found something that looked like an arm. I couldn't help but to rejoice in my heart. At any rate, I had obtained something. I didn't dare to slack off as I dug even more carefully.
When all of the corpses were dug out, I was already half-dead from exhaustion. That old fogey Old Wang was really tired as well, he really never came over to help.
The body seemed to have been buried underground for a long time, so all that was left was just bones, not damaged by the rats.
"Yo, kid, you're done digging?" If you touch the corpse now, the coldest place would be where the Corpse Flower grew. But let me remind you, the Corpse Flower is not an ordinary item, so it is invisible to the naked eye.
Just when I didn't know what to do next, Old Wang didn't know where to jump out from.
"What?" Use your mouth to suck! Old fellow, you're not mistaken, right? You're purposely messing with me, right? " Forget about looting his corpse, I can still reluctantly accept it. But, for me to use my mouth to suck, isn't this purposely disgusting me? Why is this old fellow so stingy? He's trying to avenge a personal grudge!
"Do you like it or not? It's not like I'm the one who's going to use the Corpse Flower." Who knew that Old Wang would roll his eyes at me and then lie back down, looking like it had nothing to do with me.
