"What the hell?" I cursed, my forehead covered with sweat and water.
Liu Ruxiang rushed over from the side.
"Evils and ghosts have the guts to act so arrogantly here!" Liu Ruxiang picked up a brand-new master's whip, shouted the spell formula, and suddenly thrust the old bamboo whip out of the water.
"This bamboo is not an extraordinary bamboo. It grows on the ground in the Queen Mother's back garden. The spring breeze blows in January and February, and buds bloom in March and April. It grows seven inches in one day and one night, and grows into a forest of bamboo shoots in seven days and seven nights. There are thousands of bamboos in the garden, and only This bamboo is the smartest."
"Phoenix leaves grow above, and dragon claw roots grow from the ground; immortals speak fairy words in the day, and hundreds of birds come to the forest at night..."
Liu Ruxiang spoke plausibly, and the master's scriptures were sonorous and powerful, and it seemed as if the energy was sinking in the Dantian. The heavy and powerful sound coming from the belly continued to echo in the narrow cave.
I slowly swam towards Liu Ruxiang's position, and then struggled hard on the other side, singing a prayer to the gods: When an evil ghost came to fight, three people entered the garden to fight, the evil ghost beheaded and hung on the tree, and the three broke through Take the liver and heart from the belly. "
"The three of them clapped their hands and laughed, and the evil spirits were in a mess. The three brothers went to thank the Dharma, and then went to Meishan to pay homage to Laojun..."
As soon as I sang the words to pray to the gods, this magical song seemed to resonate with Liu Ruxiang's "The Queen Mother Plants Bamboo". It echoed repeatedly in the cave, like thunder and fire, and the bird in the water His hands immediately loosened their grip.
My face turned pale, and I whined and turned to look at the fourth uncle.
"A real man, don't cry and be tough." The fourth uncle comforted him.
Then we slowly walked to the shore. At this time, Liu Ruxiang finally took out a band-aid from the box.
I collapsed to the ground exhausted.
"I'm so tired, Master, I feel like I'm going to die."
Liu Ruxiang rolled her eyes at me: "You have a wound on your foot because it entered the water and the blood spread out in the water. The dirty thing will naturally smell the smell of blood."
My mouth was dry, and I nodded in a learned manner.
"Every time you take a bite, you gain wisdom. Be careful in the future." Liu Ruxiang did not say anything more, but carefully observed the current water surface, and took out a small wooden stick that was not very long.
When I saw Liu Ruxiang doing this, I knew what he was going to do.
A few months ago, when she was in Mojia Village, she encountered something dirty in the wild persimmon pond. Liu Ruxiang used this method and finally succeeded in fishing out the evil thing.
The first one I encountered at that time was a female corpse floating in the water, which challenged the egg fishing method. It has been some time now, and I still don’t know if the cooking woman’s skills have improved.
As I expected, Liu Ruxiang took out an egg and a short wooden pole, then tied the egg in his hand with a string, and started to open the altar.
Liu Ruxiang sang Master's scriptures, picked up the egg stained with hematoxylin red water little by little, shouted at the end, and slowly put the egg under the water, but this scene was just visible to the human eye.
I stared at the red egg floating under the water with all my concentration. I was curious, what kind of thing had just attacked me? Was it the living dead we encountered at the beginning?
Liu Ruxiang straightened her body and used the strength of her waist to pull the special "fishing rod".
But soon, the thread suddenly stretched straight, and even the solid wood pole in Liu Ruxiang's hand began to deform slightly.
"Ah, what's going on?" The fourth uncle stared and rushed up immediately, helping Liu Ruxiang and grabbing her hand.
I was still in a confused state at this time. You know, there was no movement at all from Liu Ruxiang's side just now.
At this time, he turned to look at the eggs stained by hematoxylin red water, and saw several pale hands suddenly appearing within the area of water the size of a washbasin.
Those hands suddenly pinched the eggs Liu Ruxiang put in the water, one hand holding the other, as if they were snatching them fiercely.
Almost only two or three seconds passed. In an instant, the string finally could no longer hold on. There was a loud "bang", and Liu Ruxiang and the fourth uncle sat on the ground.
Liu Ruxiang stared at the ripple that just appeared, and her heart was shaken.
"One, two, three, four, five."
"There are at least five living dead in this underground waterhole cave."
As soon as the cook finished speaking, the fourth uncle couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Grandma, what kind of corpse raising place is this?"
"Perhaps, it is really possible. In the past period of time, the power of the Chen family in Shuanghu Town cannot be underestimated. If they did not have a decent method of burying people in graves, they might actually use this method of raising corpses."
Liu Ruxiang turned her head and looked at the surrounding space, deliberately observed the surrounding terrain, and said: "Looking at the Feng Shui here, it is a good place. It is almost born to gather Yin energy, and... the mountains are in the north and the water is in the south. That is to say, the northern part of the mountain is the yin side, and the southern part of the water is the yang side.”
"When we were walking outside just now, I took a few glances. The place where we are now is in the north of this mountain."
All of us couldn't help but pay attention. The current departure process was also seriously blocked. If those living dead were a deadlock, then we would have no way around it. We had to get one up from under the water.
I gradually began to hesitate and vaguely came up with a solution.
The fourth uncle coughed twice at an inappropriate time and muttered in a low voice: "Now let's go deeper and see what it's like inside and how deep it is."
After resting for a while on the table-sized shore, the group set out again.
The wound on my foot that was punctured by the glass has not healed yet. I have just put a band-aid on it, and I have to continue wading through the water. The weakness and pain caused by it, both physically and mentally, is really suffering all the time.
If we had known earlier, we should have asked Liu Ruxiang to take off one of Chen Yulin's shoes. This way, with that shoe in hand, we would not be afraid of him running around. Otherwise, we could still catch him using the missing person method.
"Bata, bah—"
Several people lifted their feet from the slightly shallower puddle and finally stepped onto this solid stone ground.
As soon as we walked up, my eyes suddenly opened.
I suddenly discovered that deep in the cave entrance, where nothing could be seen in the distance, a gust of wind actually came out.
According to normal theory, air cannot flow in a closed space and wind cannot occur.
This shows that there is definitely a place leading to the outside world at the end of this cave.
Liu Ruxiang also noticed it immediately and told the fourth uncle about this discovery.
"Okay, does that mean that if we move forward, we can find a way out?"
Everyone was smiling.
"Okay, let's go quickly, let's go." I couldn't wait any longer, even the fear of the unknown dark depths had disappeared a lot.
But I would never have imagined that something happened suddenly after walking less than seventy or eighty meters into the depths.
The light of the flashlight moved from far to near, and we suddenly saw a large number of dark things. Then when we got closer, we were almost startled by the many black things.
Suddenly, a large number of dark coffins were neatly placed on a flat ground. Two long stools are used to set up the bottom of each coffin, and the style is also uniform. All coffins have a big word "Dian" written on the head.
The fourth uncle didn't seem to be afraid and walked forward boldly. I stared closely at the closed coffin lid, always feeling that something evil might be inside, waiting for you to get close to it without paying attention, and then it would suddenly pop out.
The fourth uncle stared, and his hands were not honest. As he watched, he made a "dong dong" sound with his fingers on the coffin lid.
Seeing this scene, I blushed.
The fourth uncle waved to me: "Wenshan, what are you afraid of? Come and see what's inside. Let's work together to open the coffin."
I didn’t dare to refuse the Fourth Master’s proposal. I looked at Liu Ruxiang with a bitter look on my face: “Master, is it really possible to open the coffin?”
Liu Ruxiang nodded, holding a piece of yellow talisman paper while quietly approaching the batch of coffins.
I walked up to the fourth uncle at this time, holding a dagger in my hand, and started thinking about how to open it.
My mind fell into memories. I had attended several condolences with my grandma since I was a child, and then lived with Liu Ruxiang. Especially during this year, I had to attend several condolences almost every month.
According to normal rules, a coffin that has been covered with coffin boards must not be opened, otherwise the descendants of the people inside will remain in poverty, because this will open and leak out all the officialdom, wealth, and blessings. .
Therefore, during a normal funeral, after paying homage to the deceased, the coffin is covered before the funeral, and wooden wedges are used to smash into the buckles on the coffin. This is still a mortise and tenon structure, generally including nails. You don't even need to, you can nail this coffin to death.
I looked at the batch of coffins in front of me, and lightly tapped the wooden coffin board above with my nails, almost knocking off a layer of wood. Obviously, this is because the wood has weathered and oxidized in the air, and it will probably become more and more fragile in the end. If it is not buried in the ground, one day, it is very likely that the coffin will be broken into pieces even if it is touched. None of the remains inside could be contained.
The fourth uncle's eyes were sharp. He first walked around the coffin in front of him, and then stared at a natural crack on the side of the coffin.
"Wen Shan, right here, chop hard and try to smash it to pieces and get it open at once."
