Water dogs snatch corpses?
When I heard the name, I got a general idea.
These evil water dogs emerged from the mud and river sand at the bottom of the Sichuan River to take away Wang Fei's transformed body!
"When Wang Fei, Gui'er, was alive, he was scared just listening to adults telling stories about Shuigouzi. But after he died, he was able to make so many people listen to him."
I also feel a little speechless about this contrast.
In this flash of lightning, the water dog that first jumped on the coffin lid had started to bite and scratch at the coffin lid with its sharp teeth and claws.
Aunt Qin raised the Luban ruler and waved it vigorously.
boom!
Hitting the water dog on the waist, it flew straight away, making a cracking sound of bones breaking in the air, and then fell into the water with a plop.
"Aunt Qin, be careful!"
I saw three water dogs on the bow of the boat behind her, and they rushed towards her back at the same time.
The sharp black claws shone brightly in the moonlight...
However, Aunt Qin didn't turn around immediately as if she hadn't heard. Instead, he threw the Luban ruler in my direction and wiped it past my face, making a muffled sound.
A water dog that climbed up from the stern of the boat was nailed to the cabin - the ruler penetrated its neck, and blood flowed out like clear water.
It turns out that Aunt Qin was here to save me!
But at the last moment, she ducked and dodged the attack.
But because of this, the three water dogs all jumped on the coffin lid and began to bite and scratch at the coffin lid frantically. And one of them even knew how to destroy the "corpse-suppressing nail" in the corner!
"Wu Wa'er, pull out the Luban ruler and give it to me."
There was already a hint of anxiety in Aunt Qin's voice.
Facing the water dogs that were still emerging from the water, she couldn't free her hands to deal with the three that destroyed the coffin lid.
I also knew the seriousness of the matter, so I quickly grabbed the Luban ruler and pulled it out hard!
But after all, I am still less than ten years old, and I am relatively thin and have limited strength. After pulling it out a few times, it didn't come out.
"Aunt Qin is so strong! Throw it over like this and stab a water dog to death. I won't even get out even if it's nailed to the boat."
In the end, I stared at the side of the boat with both feet, and with my own weight on top of it, I finally pulled it out with a "pop".
But the inertia also made me fly backwards, my back hit the coffin, and I grimaced in pain.
"Aunt Qin gives it to you!"
Ignoring the pain, I threw the Luban ruler over the side of the coffin.
After Aunt Qin reached out to catch it, she turned her wrist and cut off the head of the rooster that had the blood taken from the comb.
Strangely enough, the rooster's blood actually spurted out!
The Luban ruler in her hand waved in a circle in the air, scattering the sprayed rooster blood and contaminating the water dogs - they immediately screamed miserably, and bursts of green smoke came out of their bodies.
Thump thump!
Jumped into the water and ran away.
Huchihuchi...
Aunt Qin was breathing heavily and was obviously a little tired.
"Wu Wa'er, you are very good."
She even complimented me.
Crunchy...
There was a harsh sound from the coffin, and a corner of the coffin lid began to tilt up!
Aunt Qin's expression changed: "No, the corpse-suppressing nail was damaged."
Aunt Qin also explained to me just now that this corpse nail was cut from a cypress tree that was more than thirty years old, soaked in black dog blood and rooster blood for three days and three nights, and then smeared with the venom from the back of a toad, and finally It is made after repeated rubbing with cinnabar.
The production is complicated, but the effect is very good.
Ordinary corpses can be suppressed easily, and even a ferocious water demon like Wang Fei can basically prevent it from making big waves.
The only weakness is that the corpse nail itself is still wood, and after various craftsmanship, it is actually more fragile than the cypress tree itself. It's effective against corpses, but it's easier to destroy it with other things!
That's why those idiots just rushed to the coffin without risking their lives, just to destroy the dead nails protruding from the four corners!
"Wu Wa'er, put some black dog blood on your hands, then lie down on the coffin. Press that corner."
I was still very scared.
After all, although no one told me clearly, from the whispers of the villagers just now, I had roughly guessed that Wang Fei would kill his parents after he turned into a ghost!
Although I was his little friend when he was alive, if we really bumped into him, he would definitely be dead.
But I have to listen to Aunt Qin's words.
Gritting his teeth, he boldly climbed onto the coffin, placed his hands on both sides, and pressed directly on a corner.
The strange thing is that I actually pushed down the coffin lid that was getting higher and higher!
Am I stronger than the corpse-turned-Wang Fei?
"Wu Wa'er, the water demon is a very yin thing. You are light, but after being painted with black dog blood, it becomes extremely heavy. You can suppress it, which has only recovered less than one-tenth of its mobility."
Oh, I see……
I thought it was because I was strong!
It looked like I was going to stay lying on the coffin lid like this for the last few miles of waterway.
The mountain peak where the Hundred Bone Tower is located is already in sight!
But unexpectedly, something went wrong again at this time.
The boat actually stopped moving!
I can clearly feel that the small wooden boat is already at a standstill. The surrounding rivers were flowing rapidly, but the boat was strangely in place.
Even without Aunt Qin's methods, the speed of light flowing down the river should not be slow!
"Aunt Qin, what's going on?"
I asked her a little worriedly.
I kept lying on the coffin lid with my hands pressed against the coffin walls on both sides. My field of vision was actually very limited and I couldn't see clearly what was going on around me.
"Wu Wa'er, just close the coffin lid and don't worry about anything else."
Although Aunt Qin's voice was still very calm, I was sensitive enough to hear a hint of anxiety in it.
Something bad must have happened again!
I admired myself at that time.
An ordinary little kid over nine years old would probably be scared to death, right?
Not only did I not pee out of fear, I actually lay on the coffin and pressed down on the water demon that the corpse had turned into!
I just don’t know why, but the night wind blows, and my crotch is still a little chilly...
When I felt that it was too uncomfortable to maintain this position, I carefully turned my head to the right against the coffin lid, and then I saw the scene in the water.
Suddenly I felt even cooler!
Floating corpse.
Densely packed floating corpses!
There were at least twenty of them, floating on the water, surrounding our small wooden boat.
They crowded together and jammed the boat, making it impossible to move forward.
"It turns out that the water in the Chuanjiang River blocked our boat!"
I just felt my scalp was numb and I had goosebumps all over my body.
Usually when I see a water stick, I feel oozing. Now being surrounded by dozens of water sticks, it feels so sour and refreshing.
No wonder Aunt Qin didn't let me see it, she was afraid that I would pee in fear!
But I am so courageous, and I am already a little man. How could I pee in fear?
Except for being a little bit cool under my pants, there's nothing wrong with it.
"Aunt Qin, I've seen it. There's water all around. What should I do?"
She turned her back to me and said nothing.
I don't know why, but I felt like she was hesitating...and then finally made up her mind.
Suddenly there was a strange, hissing sound.
Reminds me of the sound of a snake inexplicably!
Then, I saw Aunt Qin jump directly into the water from the bow of the boat, making a big splash with a "plop".
I was terrified!
But then I thought about it, Aunt Qin is so powerful, even more powerful than the miraculous "Mr. Taoist" that adults talk about. She jumped into the river and must have had her own plans.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
But from my perspective, I can only see a small area of the water close to the hull with the corner of my eye, and cannot see the rest of it at all. I didn't dare to get up on my own, so I could only lie down for a few seconds!
Less than half a minute later, I felt the boat suddenly shake violently, as if something was jostling under the boat a few times.
Then, the floating corpses surrounding the boat floated away in all directions.
Because of my limited field of vision, I couldn't see how far they drifted. But it must have sunk under the river again...
Aunt Qin said that if the water in the river is not fished out for too long, it will turn into corpses. It's a powerful evil spirit. It can freely come and go in the river, and even harm others and find scapegoats.
Except for the Red Boat Beards and their descendants, ordinary corpse collectors have no chance of finding it!
Even if you find it, you will never be able to fish it out. The greater possibility is that the life of the person who retrieved the body was also compensated.
Once these dozens of floating corpses dispersed, the rapid river current alone could drive the boat forward.
But it's been a while, and Aunt Qin hasn't come up yet.
I was a little anxious, and ignored the rule she had taught me before about "no loud noises when boating on the river at night", so I shouted loudly.
"Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin, where are you? Come out quickly."
"Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin, you won't leave me, right?"
"Aunt Qin..."
After shouting, my voice was filled with tears.
I'm really scared!
If she really disappeared, would I be lying on the coffin lid alone, floating on the Sichuan River with a water demon on top of me?
Wow!
There was a sound of water, and then a "boom", something came out of the water and got on the boat.
"Don't be afraid, Wu Wa'er, I'm back."
It's Aunt Qin's voice!
I kept my body pressed against the coffin lid and tried my best to lift my chin, and I could see that she was already standing at the head of the coffin.
"Don't be afraid, we'll be here soon."
She reached out and gently stroked my head, allowing me to come down and rest for a while.
I quickly slid off the coffin lid and stood on the boat.
Aunt Qin pressed her hand on the location of the damaged corpse nail and looked at me with a smile. Although she had always had disheveled hair, her long hair hanging down to her waist and covering her face, no one in the village had ever seen her. appearance.
But I just felt like she was smiling.
However, she was now soaked and dripping with water. There was also a strong sense of exhaustion in his voice.
I was a little worried: "Aunt Qin, you jumped into the water just now and drove away the water sticks. Were you not hurt?"
Hehehe...
Aunt Qin pretended to smile lightly: "There are only a dozen floats, and there is not even a corpse that is more than ten years old. It's not a problem for me. As long as this one in the coffin can't come out, then everything is easy to say. "
After this series of continuous thrills, I felt that I was a lot more courageous, and I was as fast as a pig driven by feed!
And at this time, our destination finally arrived.
Aunt Qin asked me to add some black dog blood to my hands, and then she lay on the coffin lid again and pressed it.
She herself picked up the pole again and controlled the boat to move closer to the shore.
A few minutes later, the boat stopped in front of a flat river beach.
By the moonlight, I could see that the river beach was very large, and it was an inward depression at the junction of two mountains. At the end of the river beach was the highest mountain peak in the nearby basin.
From the river beach up to halfway up the mountain, you can see small earth bag-shaped things stretching endlessly.
It's a grave!
At first glance, there are at least hundreds of them.
I couldn't help but shudder.
There are more graves than adults say about mass graves in the mountains.
And in the center of this earthen tomb, stands a six-story stone tower! Under the moonlight, it showed a vague outline.
"Don't be afraid, Wu Wa'er. This is the Yishan Tomb. The people buried here were all picked up by the Red Boat Beards themselves, and then the Taoist priests were asked to personally transcend them. Even if there is any resentment, they have long since been removed. Dispersed. Otherwise, we won’t be buried in the Yishan grave.”
Aunt Qin explained to me while preparing to get the coffin off the boat.
She said that this kind of place is actually very clean and safer than some temples and Taoist temples.
The reason why Wang Fei's body was brought here was because he hoped to rely on the pure and clean yin energy without resentment in the "Yishan Tomb" to suppress the evil spirits!
At this time, I suddenly thought of something.
"Aunt Qin, the coffin is so heavy, how can the two of us reach the Hundred Bone Pagoda halfway up the mountain?"
She bent down and knocked a few times on the dark red cabin, and a hollow sound came from a certain location.
It turns out that this ship even has a mezzanine!
Aunt Qin looked relieved: "Although this red boat has been abandoned for many years, the things are still there! Otherwise, we can only open the coffin, find a way to suppress the evil, and carry the body on our back."
It was a dark night and the wind was high, so I carried the corpse into the tower!
Thinking about this scene, it is very exciting.
What's more, I probably know it too. If the coffin is opened, Wang Fei will definitely raise the body. At that time, it will be very dangerous.
I looked at Aunt Qin curiously and saw her constantly taking out a lot of bits and pieces from the mezzanine cavity of the cabin. Looks a bit like building blocks?
It's just that each piece is quite large, so the combined size may be quite large.
"This used to be the treasure of the Red Ship Beards! Only very high-level Bearded Bears have this thing. Wu Wa'er, come and help Aunt Qin assemble it. You two, please move faster."
I didn't ask any questions and quickly helped assemble it.
A few minutes later, two wooden cows appeared in front of us.
It's not too big, about the size of a calf. It looks weird and looks a little funny.
I couldn't help but ask: "What is the use of this wooden cow?"
Aunt Qin said: "Wu Wa'er, have you seen the Three Kingdoms?"
I shook my head: "I just finished the third grade, and I haven't finished learning the words yet. I'm not good at reading this kind of book yet. But I always listen to my dad and second uncle telling stories about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
"You must have heard of Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and flowing horse? This is the wooden ox among them. At first, Zhuge Wuhou asked his old carpenters who were tired of winning to build this magical instrument for him, which could carry it by itself without relying on manpower. Grain. One end can carry four hundred kilograms of weight. There are two ends here, enough to carry this coffin."
Aunt Qin patted one of the wooden cows.
ah? !
There really is such a magical wooden cow, flowing horse that can move by itself!
"The carpenter lineage has a close relationship with the radiobeards. In ancient times, in order to transport corpses to Yishan tombs, the radiobeards would usually ask carpenters they were familiar with to help make this kind of wooden cow using the art of aversion, and then dismantle it and put it on the red boat. Here. You and the government each contribute half of the money."
Aunt Qin was very patient. There was no need to explain this kind of thing to me so clearly, but she still said it all.
Then, she patted the two little wooden cows a few times somewhere.
Under my shocked gaze, the little wooden cow actually started to move on its own!
There was a clicking sound from the joints, and he walked steadily to the side of the coffin. After squatting down, something like a wooden shovel popped out and was inserted into the bottom of the coffin.
He stood up again and lifted the big coffin!
"Let's go, Marquis Wu will protect you, and the wooden ox will bring you gifts. The world is at peace!"
Aunt Qin shouted in a strange tone, directing the little wooden ox to carry the coffin and go to the Hundred Bone Tower in front...
