Chapter 55 Building a bridge
In the blink of an eye, the white mark on the ground suddenly spread out to both sides, as if a road suddenly appeared. Where there were trees and vines in front of them, a gray-white "road" about five meters wide stretched out.
Everyone was so frightened that they quickly retreated from the cave. Even Long Xiaoman and Xiaohui, two members of the Xuanmen, looked very nervous.
I once heard the elders in the village talk about the Yin soldiers' borrowing, and I know a little bit about it.
In the army during the war years, because too many people died, a troop would often be walking and suddenly find a troop suddenly appearing out of thin air in front of them and heading towards them.
At this time, the commander in the army will twist the neck of a big red rooster. When twisting, the movements must be fast and hard. Never let the rooster scream. If it screams, there will be no way to save it.
If it is good, the whole army will be annihilated.
During the Anti-Japanese War, a 2,000-strong Sichuan Army unit disappeared without a trace on a mountain near Nanshangjing. The military sent people to search many times, but there was not even a trace, only here.
A large rooster with its neck broken was found where the detachment was stationed.
This has become an unsolved mystery, but there is a saying among the people that the Sichuan army encountered the Yin soldiers and broke the chicken's neck, and the chicken suddenly crowed.
If the action is fast and ruthless, the chicken's neck will be broken without crowing. The commander can just throw the chicken forward and pass safely.
This is called a yang person taking advantage of the yin way. Besides breaking the chicken's neck, there are many ways to remedy it.
But what we encounter now is the most terrifying Yin soldier borrowing Yanglu.
If Yang people take advantage of the Yin way, they may still survive, but if they encounter Yin soldiers taking advantage of the way, they will die one by one, or die by the way of a thousand people, and there is no chance of survival!
Moreover, this is a Kuomintang Yin soldier who has been fighting for a long time. Such Yin soldiers have a very strong evil spirit and are a very vicious type of Yin soldiers.
Suddenly, I recalled that when I first entered the mountain, I heard the old Yi man say that a group of Kuomintang soldiers once entered the mountain and never came out again. Could it be the one in front of me?
The white-gray road continued into the cave. We kept retreating and were finally forced to the deepest part of the cave. The road passed under our feet like a slowly crawling snake and stretched into the stone wall behind.
.
The space of this cave is not very large, and the ground is filled with gray-white "roads". There is no way for us to retreat or avoid.
Those college students had already collapsed to the ground with fear.
I wasn't much better, my calves were shaking uncontrollably. I asked Long Xiaoman if he could fight against these evil soldiers.
Long Xiaoman leaned against the rock wall and shook his head slightly, "The Yin soldiers are taking advantage of the Yang, and we have no room to fight back."
"Then what should we do!" Luo Wu, who had always been relatively calm, completely lost his composure at this time. His teeth kept chattering and making gurgling sounds when he spoke, making the already depressing atmosphere even more terrifying.
The timid ones were so frightened that they peed their pants. The two girls hugged each other, their faces turned pale, and they didn't even dare to cry.
In despair, I suddenly heard a weak voice coming from the corner, "I...I have a way..."
Xun Sheng took a look and saw that the one who spoke was actually the skinny little Huang Bing. Among the group of people, he was the least courageous, even worse than the two girls.
When these words came out of his mouth at this time, it made people feel incredible. Long Xiaoman and Xiaohui, two members of the four major Xuanmen families, couldn't do anything, but he, who had always been timid and fearful, actually said that he had a way.
"Stop talking nonsense, it's already happened!" Luo Wu didn't believe Huang Bing's words either.
"I really have a way!" Huang Bing was anxious.
Long Xiaoman and Xiaohui looked at each other in disbelief.
But when I looked at Huang Bing's expression, it didn't look like he was joking, and at this time, it was impossible to fool us.
I asked Huang Bing what he could do, thinking that we were already at a dead end anyway, so let's give it a try and treat a dead horse as a living doctor. Maybe this man named Huang Bing really had a way to do this.
Huang Bing glanced at everyone, swallowed and said, "I've heard people say this before, but I don't know if this method is useful."
"There used to be a Taoist priest in my hometown who said that if you encounter Yin soldiers taking advantage of the road, you can use the method of building a bridge to lure the Yin soldiers away."
"What the hell are you talking about, how to build a pedestrian bridge? You should tell me quickly!" Luo Wu was already sweating profusely.
At this time, the footsteps outside the cave were getting closer and closer, and it seemed that the Yin soldiers would come in soon.
Huang Bing continued, "Building a human bridge means lining up people in a row to create a path for the Yin soldiers. After the Yin soldiers walk up, they will not be able to see the living people next to them."
"What's the point? Hurry up and build a bridge!" Luo Wu looked at everyone, "There are so many people here, it's enough to build a bridge!"
Huang Bing shook his head, "It only takes three people to build a bridge, but..."
"It's just what?" I asked this question. Huang Bing spoke in a long-winded way, which made me anxious for a long time.
"It just has to be a dead person, and it must be someone who has been dead for less than a day."
After Huang Bing finished speaking, the people he met looked at each other in confusion. Luo Wu was the first to react and quickly lined up the two bodies on the ground. "Is it okay if there is one less?"
Seeing Huang Bing shake his head, everyone became anxious.
At this time, the footsteps outside the cave were very clear, and it seemed that the team of Kuomintang soldiers had arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Luo Wu's expression suddenly changed, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes. He looked at Huang Bing and said word by word, "Are you sure this method will work?"
Huang Bing nodded, "That Taoist priest is quite capable. What he said should be right."
"Okay!" Luo Wu glared at Huang Bing and said fiercely, "I just believe you once. If it doesn't work, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
After finishing speaking, a scream suddenly came from the cave, and a boy next to Luo Wu fell to the ground.
"That's enough!" Luo Wu said expressionlessly, holding a bloody machete in his hand.
"You beast, you actually killed your own comrade!"
After reacting, I was immediately furious. Luo Wu actually killed a companion with his own hands in order to survive!
Xiaohui grabbed me and said, "Okay, don't worry about so much now, there's no rush!"
After finishing speaking, he quickly dragged the recently deceased corpse over and lined it up with the other two corpses. Luo Wu was afraid that the man's head was still alive, so he raised his machete and slashed at the man's neck cruelly.
One knife.
Although I'm angry, I don't have the mind to care so much now, because the team of Yin soldiers have already walked in, only about seven or eight meters away from us.
The few of us huddled aside, not daring to take a breath, and watched helplessly as the group of Kuomintang soldiers passed in front of us, stepping on the three corpses and heading into the rock wall.
I was trembling with fear and soaked in cold sweat. A group of sinister soldiers passed by me. The fear I felt cannot be described in words.
This group of sinister soldiers were wearing the uniforms of the Kuomintang, and their faces were ashen and stiff. The air in the cave seemed to have dropped dozens of degrees instantly, and the gloomy atmosphere was beyond words.
Then I discovered something strange. Each of these Kuomintang soldiers had a bloody hole on their chest as big as a palm, as if someone had ripped out their heart. Even the military horse the officer was riding had the same effect.
As the last Yin soldier disappeared into the rock wall, my heart hanging in my throat was slightly relieved. Everyone was frightened. Everyone spoke, and they all collapsed on the ground and gasped for air.
.
The two girls finally couldn't help crying.
Xiao Hui and Long Xiaoman's faces were not very good either, but they looked much calmer compared to us.
Luo Wu stood up from the ground and exhaled a long breath, "Is everything okay now? It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave here immediately."
I glared at him hard. Although he saved all of us, his behavior just now was really hard for me to accept.
However, there is some truth in what he said. Although the Yin soldiers have passed, we definitely cannot stay in this cave any longer, and we might encounter something else.
Long Xiaoman and Xiaohui didn't speak, but judging from their looks, they agreed to leave here.
The group quickly packed up their things. When they reached the entrance of the cave, Xiaohui suddenly said in a deep voice, "No, everyone, please go back to the cave!"
Everyone who had just breathed a sigh of relief suddenly became nervous again when they suddenly heard Xiaohui's yelp.
Long Xiaoman was also puzzled and asked Xiaohui what was going on.
Xiao Hui looked very ugly and didn't explain anything. He just asked everyone to quickly retreat into the cave.
They had just experienced the Yin soldiers taking advantage of everyone, and now they were convinced of these mysterious things, and everyone looked at Xiaohui nervously.
Xiaohui asked everyone to sit next to the bonfire and not to move around without authorization. He pointed at the entrance of the cave and said, "There is something outside, waiting for us to get out. Whoever gets out now will die!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly turned pale.
"You guys sit here and don't move around. I'll go out and take a look."
After saying that, he winked at Long Xiaoman and me, and then walked out of the cave alone.
"What's going on?" After walking out of the cave, Long Xiaoman looked around with a wary expression, "Is there anything else here?"
Xiaohui glanced into the cave and found that no one was following him out. Then he let out a long breath and said, "I just lied to them. It's very safe outside. There's nothing."
"Why?" I asked curiously.
Xiaohui lowered his voice and said, "There is nothing outside, but there is something in the hole."
"In the cave?" Long Xiaoman looked surprised, "Wherever the Yin soldiers pass by, all kinds of ghosts and gods will avoid it. Why are there still dirty things in the cave?"
Xiao Hui frowned and said, "If it's dirty stuff, it's easy, just collect it."
As he spoke, he touched his chin and continued to mutter, "It's just that I don't know what that thing is, but I'm sure that thing is among that group of people now."
"You mean there's something wrong with that group of people?" I asked.
Xiao Hui shook his head, "It's not that everyone has a problem, but that one of them is probably no longer a human being. He must be dressed up as something."
Then he said to me, "Do you remember those empty corpses in the temple?"
