The mountains in Cimaoling are not high, but the trees are extremely dense. Especially in the dark night, it looks like a beast dormant there, looking deep and mysterious.
I had previously paid attention to the direction of the bloody roots growing in the tree cavity, and they were obviously heading towards the depths of Civet Ridge, so the three of us followed this direction.
After walking about five or six miles, we found a wooden house in a low valley.
This house looks quite old, with grass growing all around. At first glance, it looks like it has been unoccupied for a long time, but when you look closer, you find that there is something else going on inside.
This house also has a yard, which is surrounded by a fence. Every five steps, there is a straw man about half a man tall.
There is a dark red cloth tied around the neck of the straw man, which has turned slightly white after being exposed to the wind and sun.
The courtyard door was half open. We pushed it in and saw that there were swings, sandpits and other things for children to play in the courtyard. There was also a wooden horse with mottled paint, which was swaying and creaking in the wind. A crunching sound.
At this moment, there were suddenly a few bang-dong-dong sounds coming from the house.
We immediately hid on the edge, and after a while, we saw the door being pushed open and a person running out.
Judging from the body shape, he seemed to be a teenage boy, wearing a pink vest and braids, and there was also a pink hat hanging on the back.
The child got on the wooden horse and started playing there, laughing from time to time.
It's just that the laughter sounded a little breathtaking, and the voice was thick, not like a child, but more like an adult man.
At this time, the child was facing us, and we could see clearly that there was a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on the child's chest, and an longevity lock hung around his neck.
As for this appearance...
The three of us gasped, and both Shao Zilong and Shen Qingyao couldn't help but glance down at the plastic bag I was carrying.
Because the head inside looks very similar to the child in front of me.
No, to be more precise, the "child" in front of me, although his body shape is like that of a child, his face is more like that of an adult.
But there is a sense of naivety and childishness in this face.
Rather than being a child, is he more like a dwarf with a slightly abnormal brain?
The other party played on the wooden horse for a while, seemed tired of playing, and went to swing on the swing, then turned around and ran back to the house.
But when he came to the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and sniffed vigorously, then suddenly opened his hands and ran towards us, grinning and saying, "It smells so good, you have a sister!"
Despite his short legs, he was extremely fast. He rushed to us in the blink of an eye, pushed aside the grass, and shouted, "Sister, I found you, are you surprised?"
He stared straight at Shen Qingyao with a smile on his face.
It's a pity that that smile, coupled with his look, was really eerie and weird. Shen Qingyao was so frightened that he rushed over so suddenly that his pretty face turned pale.
Now that we have been discovered, we will not hide.
"Little brother, where are your family members?" I asked with a smile.
As a result, the other party just stared at Shen Qingyao and smiled stupidly. He was completely indifferent to what I said and said cheerfully, "Sister, you smell so good."
As he spoke, he sniffed and grabbed Shen Qingyao's clothes.
Shen Qingyao hurriedly took a step back.
The other party failed to catch it, and immediately became angry. He stamped his feet and shouted angrily, "Sister, why don't you let me smell it? Dumb is angry!"
I saw Shen Qingyao's face turning red and white, probably from shame and anger, so I immediately winked at her.
"Sister...sister didn't mean it just now. Little brother, is there anyone else in your family?" Shen Qingyao could only coax in a gentle tone.
But it was obvious that she had never coaxed anyone like this before, and her tone was too harsh.
But Ah-Dai immediately turned from anger to joy, and rushed over with open hands, shouting, "Sister, give me a hug!"
Shen Qingyao's expression changed and she hurriedly hid behind me and Shao Zilong.
"Sister is not good again, and Ah-Dai is very angry!" Ah-Dai immediately stamped his foot again and screamed angrily.
"You...you answer sister's question first, and then sister...gives you a hug."
I heard Shen Qingyao behind her, almost gritting her teeth and saying something.
"Then let's pull the hook!" Hearing this, Dumb became happy again and stretched out his little finger.
"Come on, come on." I stretched out my hand.
The dumb girl suddenly screamed, "I want a sister, I want a Xiangxiang sister!"
I saw that there was so much commotion here, but the room was still quiet. Not only was there no one inside, but the other party was secretly observing.
Shen Qingyao frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out a little finger.
"Sister's fingers are so beautiful!" Duan Huan shouted, and actually bit it.
Fortunately, Shen Qingyao retracted in time, otherwise the rice would have been ruined.
"What the hell!" Shao Zilong cursed, grabbed the dumb guy's neck and picked him up.
Unexpectedly, the other party screamed angrily and broke away from Shao Zilong's hand.
Shao Zilong was a little surprised and grabbed another handful. However, this time he grabbed the hat that the other party was wearing behind his back and pulled it out.
"ah!"
Shen Qingyao couldn't help but exclaimed and took a few steps back.
Shao Zilong and I also took a breath of cold air and felt our scalps numb.
There is actually a head growing on the neck behind this dumb guy, like a huge tumor, embedded in his back, with a pair of pupilless eyes staring straight at us!
This immediately reminded me of the head in the plastic bag. The two were exactly the same.
I noticed that there was a scar as big as a bowl on Dumb's back near his shoulder.
Obviously, a head once grew there before, but it was later chopped off, hidden in a tree, and made into a decapitated evil!
I didn't quite understand why someone would arrange a guillotine in that place before, but at this moment, this doubt was suddenly solved.
The evil art of decapitation was actually originally derived from the corpse refining art of the Corpse Sect.
Of course, there is no such thing as the guillotine in the authentic Corpse Sect secrets. Someone created the guillotine in a new way based on the corpse refining technique.
Apart from killing people, the biggest use of this decapitated beast is actually to raise corpses.
Generally speaking, corpses are raised using special terrains such as Juyin Pools and Corpse Raising Grounds to warm and raise the Yin Corpse. However, the trick of this decapitated corpse is to separate the heads of the Yin Corpse.
Bury the body in Juyin ground and use the head as a decapitation evil.
As long as someone dies under the Guanhead Evil, the evil spirit of Resentment will be continuously absorbed and nourished for the body.
This method of raising corpses is a shortcut, but it is also extremely dangerous.
But the strange thing is that this time the decapitated evil was used on a living person.
