Fatty Yu suddenly shouted "Help". He was lifted up in the air by the hands of two male corpse trees. His feet could not reach the ground. No matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain. It seemed that they wanted to tire him to death. Upon seeing this, Huai Rujin rushed to rescue.
At this moment, I had just climbed up, and a branch stabbed straight in front of me. It was inserted into my chest, and blood suddenly spurted out. Then he fell down and seemed to be unconscious. When Huai Rujin saw that I was injured, he became even more panicked. Just taking care of Fatty Yu was already in danger, and now that I had failed again, I couldn't keep busy.
Although she tried her best to get closer to me, the three corpse trees had already stuck me tightly. The breasts of two of the female corpse trees were so swollen that after a while, strange liquid began to flow out of them, straight to my head. dripping. I was stuck like a dead fish for a long time. At this time, Huai Rujin finally rushed over and inserted a knife into the breast. The liquid suddenly spurted out and splashed all over her face.
Huai Rujin didn't take it seriously at first, but soon her face started to itch. Suddenly one of my hands reached out and grabbed Hua Rujin. I instinctively wanted to hold her, but Huairu Jin My feet felt weak, as if I were stepping on cotton, and I almost knocked me down.
I grabbed my hair hard and tore it wildly. It felt like there were countless ants on my scalp burrowing into my brain. Red spots appeared on Huai Rujin's face and itched unbearably. Among the three of us, Fatty Yu was in the best condition. Although he was clumsy on both sides, he was not injured. I picked him up, and Huai Rujin was also supporting me, and I tried my best to get through the forest of corpses.
I seemed to be dazed and confused. Suddenly, the faint voice just now lingered in my mind, which made me extremely painful.
Corpse Forest is also known as " Corpse Forest" and " Cold Forest". Corpse forest is a transliteration of Sanskrit, which refers to the place where corpses are abandoned. In Chinese Buddhism, it is understood as a monk's cemetery. There is a record in the "Sutra of Sacrifice" unearthed in Dunhuang, saying that it was popular at that time to cut up the flesh and blood after death and donate it to the corpse forest. It can be seen that this custom existed in the Han Dynasty before the Sui Dynasty.
It is said in the tantra that after Shengle deity issued the mantra, all living beings in the world were stunned. When all living beings wake up, they see the image of the father and his wife of the corpse forest. It is said that the father and his wife of Corpse Grove live on Mount Skull, where there is a square human skull city. In the bone city, there is the Palace of Corpse Grove Skull and the Lotus Sun Disk Seat, on which the father and his wife of Corpse Grove stand.
The image of the corpse forest father and his wife is extremely eerie and terrifying. They are two complete human skeletons without flesh and blood. They are all white, with two arms on one side. Their right hand holds a human skull stick high, and their left hand supports a skull filled with blood. They stand on the lotus sun. The conches and shells on the moon disk are in a dancing posture.
But since ancient times, people have been secretive about what is going on in the corpse forest. Even today, they cannot explain the phenomenon of fast-moving plants growing on corpses. The history books only say that "after the breath is exhausted, it is abandoned in the grassland", but it still cannot explain the cause of the corpse tree.
I endured the severe pain and said to Fatty Yu, "Fat man, quickly light a torch and use the fire to drive them away, otherwise we will all die here today!"
Fatty Yu's legs were already trembling. From time to time he looked at the forest of corpses around him, which was like a trance array. He couldn't even find a lighter. The corpse forest is also called the cold forest. The forest is deep and cold. Fatty Yu hit it and the flames that had just burst out were immediately extinguished by the cold wind, making him even more frightened.
"Li Rui, I can't light it!" Fatty Yu shouted anxiously.
Upon seeing this, Huai Rujin immediately blocked the side of the lighter with his hand, and Fatty Yu successfully lit it. He then picked up a few branches, wrapped them around his head with strips of cloth from his clothes, and finally made a simple torch.
"No matter what, burn the motherfucker first!"
I was in huge pain all over my body. I was about to pass out and suddenly woke up from the pain. I glanced at Huai Rujin who was standing by my side and asked, "How's it going?"
Huai Rujin comforted him: "Don't worry, Brother Yu has already lit a fire. It seems that these corpse trees don't dare to approach easily!"
I relaxed a little, and suddenly I felt like my eyes were blurring and I was about to fall asleep again. I thought to myself: "It's over. I have to leave my life here."
"I can't die!" I kept cheering to myself, forcing myself to open my eyes.
When Huai Rujin saw me opening my eyes, he smiled happily, "Thank God, you didn't fall asleep."
"You can't wake up if you fall asleep, right?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant. Anyway, it's good that you can wake up."
Taking advantage of the corpse tree's fear of torches, Fatty Yu quickly made a few torches, and then came back and said to me, "We can't waste our time like this. I saw a slope in front of us. There are no trees there. Let's run from that way." Bar?"
I sat up and went over to take a look, "The fat man is right, there are no trees there, let's just slide down there!"
Fatty Yu pulled me all the way down. I originally judged that the slope was only about 45°, but as I slid, I realized that it was not that simple. It was gentle at first and then steep, and it turned into a slide at the bottom.
Fortunately, it was covered with grass, but my butt slid all the way down and I still gritted my teeth in pain. I stood up and looked around a few times with my flashlight. When I looked around, I saw only fog and gray in my eyes.
I felt very strange, "Why is there such heavy fog in such a bright sun?"
"This forest of corpses is very weird, but it's not a miasma!" I poked at it with my hands. The fog was like gel, and there was an obvious touch between my fingers. There were even brief traces of hand movements in the air.
"Everyone, be careful." I looked down at the wound on my chest and found that the blood had stopped seeping out and had begun to scab. No matter how it happened, I just thought that if I survived the catastrophe, I would be lucky in the future.
This slope leads directly from the valley to the outside of the mountain, but there are high mountains and cliffs on both sides. It looks more like a mountain depression, but there are no mountains blocking it further forward.
Nothing could be seen clearly in the thick fog, and there was only an outline of the mountain. We walked in carefully. At this time, Fatty Yu seemed to have kicked something with his feet. At first, I thought it was a stone, but there was a rustle when the thing rolled. sound.
Huai Rujin also noticed it. I looked at my feet nervously and found "stones" scattered one by one on the grass. When I got closer, I realized that they were skulls. When I shined a light with a flashlight, I saw that the skull was covered with velvet-like mold threads.
The number of these skulls was shocking. I didn't dare to move around. I glanced at the thick fog around me and felt an inexplicable fear. I calmed down and said in my mind: "What should I do? These skulls don’t just show up here for no reason.”
While we were thinking, the strange sound of "rustling, rustling" sounded again, very close to us. Huai Rujin and I immediately focused our attention on the skull that was kicked away by Fatty Yu, and then we looked at the skull again. Not far away, I saw bones scattered on the ground, lying in pieces on the ground.
"This place is simply a mass grave." I said in surprise.
A black insect suddenly emerged from the skull. It was a young corpse. It is almost impossible to see a wild corpse in a place like this. "Could it be raised by humans?" My first reaction was Man-made, "If this is the case, then the forest of corpses above..."
Huai Rujin trampled the corpse to pieces with one kick and said: "This place is too weird, let's leave quickly?" She obviously also saw that there was something wrong with this place, and she didn't know what to do if she stayed longer. Something happened.
"Li Rui, what on earth is going on?" Fatty Yu looked at me fearfully, "Why do we always run into weird things along the way?"
We walked all the way out of the mountain. Along the way, skeletons were scattered all over the mountains and fields. The farther outside, the less rotten they were. Finally, there were mummies lying on the ground. The eyes of the mummies had completely fallen off, leaving only two black eye sockets. The entire face was deformed due to dehydration, giving it a rather ferocious expression that made people afraid to look at it.
Looking at these mummies that still had humanoid shapes, I finally figured out what was going on and said, "Look at these mummies, they all have some severed limbs in their hands, and their mouths are all open. It can be seen from this that these mummies seem to be eating these severed limbs!"
The mummy seemed to be grabbing an arm, but the fingers were missing. I subconsciously looked into the mouth of the mummy, and sure enough, there was a finger at the throat of the corpse.
Huai Rujin was really startled for a moment and said, "Eat dead human flesh."
"There is a saying in "Yunxi Friendship" written by Fan Xuan of the Tang Dynasty, 'recruiting a group of disciples, entering the corpse forest, wrapping the corpses in cakes and eating them.' If what is said is true, these people are very likely to be People who eat carrion flesh in the forest of corpses.”
Fatty Yu stammered: "It's so damn disgusting!"
I sighed, "Forget it, don't worry about it for now. We are in bad luck this time. Let's talk about it after we get out."
Huai Rujin nodded, apologetically, and said, "I'm really sorry for you two. This trip not only yielded nothing and failed, but also caused everyone to run away and almost risk their lives here. I hope the future of Huai Rujin will I will definitely come to apologize."
"Ms. Huai, how can I blame you?" I comforted, "The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes. You don't need to blame yourself."
"That's right, let's get out of this hellish place first." Fatty Yu urged, "In the worst case, we can regroup and leave the green hills without worrying about running out of firewood, right?"
Although the situation outside the mountain is not as bad as inside, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, which is not easy for me and the others who consume a lot of physical energy.
I suggested taking a rest outside first to replenish strength. Fatty Yu was so tired that he started snoring as soon as he lay down, and Huai Rujin also squinted. At this time, I also felt endless tiredness coming over me, but I couldn't sleep because I was always thinking about things.
