I was shocked, because even though I knew that there was a high chance of encountering a ghost on this trip, I didn't expect that it would be in such a scenario, a scenario that I was unprepared for. Frightened, I immediately took a few steps back and bumped into Qin Bukong's body.
Qin Bukong immediately supported me so that I didn't fall. My flashlight kept shaking as I took a few steps back, and flashed past the entrance of the cave several times. I wasn’t sure if it was my imagination. I always felt that the woman or female ghost in the cave was about to emerge from inside. Like climbing out. And the moment Qin Bukong supported me, a strange roar came from the entrance of the cave.
I say strange because it is really strange and different from all the ghost noises I have heard before. First of all, the voice was indeed that of a woman. She screamed "Ah——" with a long and long tone. The tone was very low, much like a moan when she was not awake, but it seemed particularly hard. The voice It doesn't have the softness and softness of a woman's voice, but it sounds like a person who hasn't drank water for several days, has a dry and hoarse throat, and then tries to hold it in.
It is worth mentioning that although the sound was not loud, in the sewer environment, accompanied by echoes, it was still loud. When he heard the cry, Qin Bukong quickly took my arm and pulled me to the side. The two of us leaned against the mound and stood warily on the side away from the entrance of the cave. The woman's scream lasted for more than a minute without breathing, and then suddenly stopped, leaving only an echo in the sewer that gradually became distant and weaker, until the rat's squeaking voice came through. Come, I realized that the woman's roar was completely inaudible at this moment.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then looked at Qin Bukong. Qin Bukong nodded to me, which meant that he wanted me to go up and have a look. My heartbeat accelerated, I turned sideways, holding the flashlight in my right hand, raised my left hand to level with my left ear, pinched the purple tab in my hand, which was a high-alert posture, and then I slowly moved towards the entrance of the cave. About one meter away from the cave entrance, I stood on tiptoes and shined the flashlight beam into the cave entrance. But strangely, there was nothing in the cave, even the smell of rotten eggs disappeared. .
So I bravely walked closer to the cave entrance and shined light into the cave. This is actually a not deep hole, only about two meters deep. I can even see the end of the hole through the flashlight. There is nothing in the cave except for mud and tree roots and grass roots, and occasionally some small reptiles that like dark environments. And where I saw the female ghost just now, there was something shiny and sequin-like on the ground, about half a meter away from the entrance of the cave. I could reach in and get it. But I didn't dare to reach out rashly, fearing that if something happened later, I would suffer a big loss.
So I asked Qin Bukong to throw the crowbar to me. While I was shining vigilantly on other places in the cave, I reached out and used the crowbar to take out the shiny thing. When I picked it up, I saw that it was a small piece of silver, one side of which was polished very brightly without any pattern. The shiny thing just now was due to its smooth finish. On the back is a embossed Tai Chi Bagua diagram. There are red ropes tied at both ends. I know this thing. It is something that Songzi always wears on his hand. It is said that among the disciples of their sect, everyone will have one when they become a disciple, as a token of their sect.
I walked up to Qin Bukong with the little gossip and said, Songzi must be in danger. Look, this is what he is wearing on his hand. Qin Bukong took the hand and took a look, and then said with a solemn expression where did you find it. I pointed towards the cave and said, it was just inside where the female ghost's body was pressing.
Qin Bukong frowned and shook his head and said, "Hey, there's more danger than there is, there's more danger than there's good!"
To a certain extent, although Qin Bukong's character is not good, his skills are indeed very superb. And he is not frivolous, so every word he says is more or less authoritative to me. So when Qin Bukong said the words "more bad luck than good", it made me very anxious. Although I don't know what kind of judgment he was basing these words on, I know that in Qin Bukong's opinion at this moment, the probability of bad things is indeed greater than good things.
I asked anxiously, what should I do now? The hole was only more than two meters deep. The pine nuts should have been attacked halfway through digging, so I was forced to stop. This guy is not very good at exorcising evil spirits and fighting ghosts. Guy, I'm afraid it's...hey! I also started to get frustrated. Qin Bukong said, again, if you are alive, you will see people, and if you are dead, you will see corpses. There is no reason for such a big person to disappear like this. This ghost harms people, but ghosts will not eat people. Let's try another way to find it.
I spread my hands and helplessly piled them up. Qin Bukong said, "Look, how can I find the method now? This place is only so big, and I can see my head wherever I look. Where can I find it?" Qin Bukong thought for a while and said, can you find someone for your troops? I was stunned, I actually forgot about this, so I nodded and said that if there is something belonging to the person being looked for, it should be possible, at least it can give us an accurate direction. After saying that, Qin Bukong threw the pine nut's Silver Bagua to me that he had just taken from my hand.
So I quickly found a relatively flat place, inserted three sticks of incense, and some money paper was missing. Then when the smoke from the money paper was rising, I put the silver bagua on my hand into the smoke for a while, and then I Reciting a spell, he added the name and date of birth on Songzi's ID card to the spell to remind the soldiers. Then I held the incense in my hand and followed the drifting smoke to search for it.
This is the first time I have used military and horse skills to find someone, and I don’t know if it will work. Later, I gradually discovered that after mastering the horoscopes and the opponent's related items, soldiers and horses can barely be used to find people within a certain range, such as within a hundred meters. So when the smoke began to float regularly, I knew the pine nuts were nearby, not more than a hundred meters away, but we were not sure whether the person we found was alive or dead.
The smoke took me down the slope, opposite the ditch on the road we came from, because we had never walked on this road before. The difference from before is that there are no longer iron nails left by pine nuts here, and there is nothing except some messy mud footprints on the ground. After turning two right-angled turns along the sewer, there were still footprints on the ground. It seemed that Songzi came here on his own, rather than being dragged here by something. This means that at least when he walked here, he was still a living person. . But after walking a few more steps, I began to think otherwise, because I found blood stains on the ground that had dried and turned black. The blood stains became denser and denser as I walked further, and the blood stains were not uniform. There were pools of water instead of drops, which showed that Songzi had actually been seriously injured when he got here.
This kid was already very thin. It looked like he was seriously injured, and he didn't know if he could survive it. So I quickened my pace and continued walking, and soon I reached the bottom of the buffer steps of a second-level staircase. This is the entrance to another kiln manhole cover. Its internal structure is very similar to the manhole cover we came down from. When the smoke reached the bottom of the buffer steps, it began to scatter in all directions, as if they had tried their best and could only find this far. So I stubbed out the incense of soldiers and horses and put it on the ground, and observed the surrounding environment. Except for the path I just walked, all that's left is to climb up the steps and then follow the manhole cover out. Could it be that Songzi has escaped? Because as long as he gets to the ground and holds on for a little while, as long as he is discovered by someone, he will definitely be sent to the hospital for treatment. Maybe he is just recovering in the hospital now and has no time to notify us.
This is actually an optimistic estimate of mine. At least it means that Songzi is out of danger, and Qin Bukong and I just need to find out which hospital he is in. If we look at the principle of proximity, whichever hospital is closest to this place will have the greatest possibility. When I thought of this, I climbed up the buffer steps to see if the blood stains followed to the exit of the kiln well. But when I climbed to the second section, I saw a faint beam of blood shooting down from the opening of the kiln well cover. In the very thin light, in the corner of the buffer steps, I saw a figure curled up and lying on the ground.
Yes, that’s pine nuts. I quickly ran over and found him lying on his side on the ground, covering his neck with his right hand. There was a relatively large pool of blood on his hand and the ground around his neck. Where the pine nut was lying, he drew a circle on the ground with blood. In the circle, he drew the true shapes of the Five Mountains in the southeast, northwest, and middle, and on the patterns of the four mountains in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, candles were burned. All traces. It seems that when he came to this place, he was in such a hurry that he didn't even have the strength to climb out of the kiln manhole cover. In order to prevent himself from being hurt again, he drew the true shape of the Five Mountains on the spot and used the power of the Five Mountains to protect himself. Within the circle, regard yourself as the central mountain, and the four surrounding mountains will protect you.
Judging from the completeness of this blood array, it has not been damaged. This shows that Songzi is well protected among them, but now he is motionless, which makes me feel unsure. Logically speaking, Qin Bukong and I have made quite a lot of noise along the way. Normal people should have been there long ago. Just heard it.
So I squatted next to Songzi. His fingernails had begun to turn blue, and the backs of his hands and face were dirty, the kind of dirt that comes from blood mixed with soil. The lips were also peeled due to excessive dryness, the eyes were closed tightly, and half of the mouth was covered by the hand, and it could be seen that the mouth was slightly open.
I felt anxious and shouted softly: "Pine nuts!" Pine nuts!
