Chapter 111 Xin Secret

Xingning was so confused by the slap of the corpse mother. She was trying hard to get up. She escaped from the corpse mother's claws and quickly rolled along the ground a few times. I pulled Xingning and ran away.

I ran for more than ten steps, but suddenly stopped.

"Oh no, maybe we'll die here!"

I looked ahead and my heart suddenly became cold: I saw that there were rice dumplings everywhere on the river bank, which almost surrounded them both, and some were slowly climbing up from the river.

"What should I do now?" Xingning asked me tremblingly. Although he knew in his heart that he could not use spells now, he didn't know who to ask.

At this moment, I was very calm. I looked at the corpse girl chasing me behind me and took out a handful of realgar and powder mixed with cinnabar from my backpack and sprinkled it in the air. The corpse girl seemed to have seen something terrible, and suddenly stopped chasing me, but retreated instead.

Seeing the rice dumplings approaching them, I gritted my teeth, bit my fingers, took out a few more talismans, dripped blood on it, and recited: "The Dragon God's Order, the Fire God Zhurong's Method, hurry up and as the law order!"

Several talismans flew towards the corpse group, and when they were in the air, they suddenly turned into several balls of fire. The rice dumplings they touched immediately burned and emitted a foul stench.

Xingning knew that I was using my own essence and blood to activate the talisman, which was equivalent to consuming my own life and was irreversible.

I accidentally saw a wooden coffin with some paint stripping beside the river bank. I immediately had an idea in my mind and said, "Come on to move the coffin and throw it into the underworld!"

I didn't know what Xingning wanted to do, but I didn't have time to ask her, so I had to help carry the wooden coffin. As soon as the two of them carried the coffin into the water, the rice dumplings behind me had already chased after her.

"Let's sit in the coffin and leave here first." Xingning said and lifted the lid of the coffin.

"Stay here and you will die!"

Xingning pondered for a moment and finally nodded. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to climb into the coffin, he saw someone lying in the coffin. I was startled. When I saw that it was an unknown corpse, I was about to throw the person in the coffin without saying a word.

The two of them worked together to push the wooden coffin on the water and sat in the coffin. The water in the river was not in a hurry, but it looked deep and I didn't know where it was. The rice dumplings on both sides of the straits probably saw that we wanted to escape, so they all came closer. Xingning quickly used the wooden sticks in his hand to slash into the water desperately.

I aimed at the torch inserted on the shore and fired several shots attentively. The torch was hit and fell down. The worn coffin on the ground immediately ignited a raging fire.

Xingning joked, "Yeah, there are actually pistols!"

I didn't look at him, I just focused on watching the situation opposite me.

The corpse girl was chasing them, but when she saw that the fire was about to spread to the bright red coffin, she quickly let out a harsh and strange scream. When the rice dumplings around her heard it, she rushed into the fire like a demon.

The few that ran in first immediately started to burn and screamed. The rice dumplings behind him not only did not retreat, but instead continued one after another, just like they were afraid of life.

Xingning and I were sitting in the coffin and were stunned by the scene in front of us. We didn't know why the corpse girl suddenly gave up chasing them, but instead ordered her to die. But after a while, I figured it out.

Because as the corpse groups increased, the burning flame was gradually covered by the body of Zongzi. Without oxygen, the fire slowly went out. At this time, the two had already drifted along the river to the distance, and were saved.

The coffin itself is heavy, and the weight of two people is so it has a deep drip and it often hits the stones on the river bank.

"I was finally saved!" Xingning breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks to my last few shots."

"What do you mean?" He looked at me in surprise.

"I guess the corpse girl was afraid that the red coffin would be burned, so she directed the rice dumplings to use her body to prevent the fire from spreading."

"So that's the case!" Xingning said sadly, "I didn't expect this corpse mother to be quite kind!"

I nodded, but said, "It's a pity that the coffin is not a corpse king. When I went to touch Qilinjie, I found that the corpse inside had already rotted, and there were no zombies inside!"

"What?" Xingning showed a surprised expression. Suddenly, the coffin shook and the speed increased faster. He looked at the bottom of the water and was puzzled: "What's going on? Is there something underneath?"

I took out the flashlight and looked at the bottom of the water, saying, "Do you remember the rice dumplings that climbed ashore from the water just now? I guess there is something pushing the coffin under the water now."

Just when Xingning was confused, he suddenly felt the entire coffin shake up and almost turned them into the water.

I secretly shouted in my heart that it was not good, but unfortunately it was too late. A large strand of hair suddenly emerged from the water behind Xingning and wrapped his hand around. Xingning tried hard to thrust, but couldn't move!

Before I could speak, I found that my feet sank. I don’t know when the coffin leaked. The water began to pour in through the cracks and had already spread to my ankles.

Xingning suddenly became even more nervous. He quickly took out a few more talismans, frowned, bit his finger and was about to chant a spell. Unexpectedly, another strand of hair emerged from the other side and wrapped his hand around, and then immediately grew wildly and began to wrap around Xingning.

Xingning quickly struggled a few times, but he didn't expect that the more he moved, the tighter his hair became, and he felt a suffocation.

The two strands of hair wanted to drag the two into the water. They blocked the spread of their hair with one hand, but the other grabbed the coffin with the other. The hair was immediately stalemate with them, but the coffin was struggling, and the water flowing into the coffin became faster and faster because of the difficulty.

The black hair in the water seemed to grow, and in a short while, Xingning and I were completely wrapped up. The two of them could not breathe the air and gradually fainted.

I don’t know how long it took, but I felt like I had a very long dream. I suddenly heard someone calling him in my ears. He suddenly opened his eyes, and what appeared in front of him was Yue Lingshan’s beautiful face.

Before Xingning woke up, I quickly sat up and lay down Xingning's body next to me.

He looked around and they were on the bank next to the dark river, looking very far from the fake corpse king coffin, and the fear brought by the black rice dumplings had not completely dissipated.

The backpack is already soaked, but fortunately Qilinji packs it in a waterproof bag, otherwise it will definitely melt in water.

I loosened my body and felt a soreness coming from time to time. I looked at Xingning inadvertently, but suddenly I was shocked by the scene in front of me.

I don't know that in the darkness, a thin figure suddenly flew to Xingning, and then I saw me standing up stiffly, staring at me blankly, and pointing my fingers behind me.

I immediately realized that Xingning was possessed by a ghost, but now I have lost my magic power, and the talismans in my backpack have been soaked in water. I didn't know what to do, so I had to see what the ghost who possessed me wanted to do.

Looking in the direction of my finger, I saw that it was an artificial hole, which could be seen as old and roughly made. With the light of fire, some vaguely visible chisel marks could be seen.

Xingning got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave. I called Yue Lingshan and hurriedly followed. Although I didn't know what this ghost wanted to do, I felt that there should be no malice to us.

Otherwise we would have died in the underworld long ago. I guess we can be safe and sound. It is very likely that this ghost will save us. Now we must have something to ask for.

After walking for a while, I saw Xingning suddenly stop moving, and then stopped. When I looked forward, I took a breath of air conditioning and my heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.

I saw an oval space inside the cave. I looked around with the light of the fire skeleton and there were countless white bones piled up inside. It seemed that there were at least hundreds of them. The strangest thing was that each bone had no skulls.

My face turned pale, and I felt the atmosphere around me became even more gloomy. I vaguely knew that the purpose of this ghost brought me here must be that the unjust soul would not disperse and that I would save us.

"Did you bring me here to help me save you?" I asked.

Xingning didn't say anything, but he seemed to be able to understand what I said. He nodded first, and then shook his head.

"I'm sorry, it's a pity that I lack magic power now and the talismans are broken by water. I may not be able to help you." I said helplessly, thinking that the people here died so miserably, but I can't help us. I only sigh that the world is injustice and cannot see this tragedy on earth.

At this time, only Xingning could hear a cry like a baby crying. I quickly turned my head and saw Xingning's face turned pale and his body was trembling slightly.

"What’s wrong with you?"

I followed Xingning's gaze and saw a small skeleton lying in the middle of a human bone. The thin body was actually the only complete corpse in the cave.

I guess this skeleton was a pregnant woman before she died, but unfortunately she ended up with one corpse and two lives. If she didn't die, the fetus in her belly should be almost born.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered that this ghost possessed Xingning could not speak, could it be...

I seemed to think of something and said in surprise: "Are you the child?"

Xingning nodded, and a light suddenly appeared in his originally dead eyes.

At this time, I also understood why this ghost possessed Xingning but did not speak, because the ghost was dead before he could be born in this world, but his soul had been gathered.

Although I can't speak, I have consciousness. Compared to my headless skeleton, I don't know whether this is his luck or misfortune.

I saw him pointing under a skeleton, I handed the flashlight to Yue Lingshan, walked towards the skeleton, slowly pushed away the debris on the ground, turned around and looked at the ghost with a puzzled look, and he still pointed at that place.

"Did you ask me to dig?" I asked tentatively.
