The sky was already blurry, and her body struggled, and the cold water choked her nose. Xiu'er coughed uncomfortably. The severe pain caused her to wake up slowly. She found that she was soaked in the lake water, and her face happened to be resting on the algae on the shore.
to breathe
Survived the catastrophe and broke into a cold sweat
Xiu'er stumbled up from the water. The bamboo basket on her back had been pushed aside. It took her a lot of effort to untie the rope tied to her body. She hurriedly collected the long rope, but found that the other end of the rope was intact.
No damage, no breakage or wear
Maybe her father accidentally failed to grasp the rope firmly, and Xiuer couldn't think too much. She wanted to rush back to reunite with her family and fell from the cliff. If it weren't for the lake at the foot of the cliff, she would have been thrown into a pulp, and her bones would have been killed by wild beasts.
Eat everything
She died unexpectedly. Her father may have thought she was dead, and her mother and brothers must have been devastated.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the dangerous environment did not allow her to have time to think about wiping the water off her clothes. She crawled along the road covered with strange rocks at the end of the road.
After walking for a long time, she finally found the way, grabbed the vine and twigs and climbed step by step towards the mountain stream.
There was a faint sound of howling wolves in the distance, and Xiuer was so frightened that she used her hands and feet to climb up the mountain desperately.
The sky on the 14th night was very strange. The fog was so thick that no light could be seen. The wind blew fiercely between the mountains. The whirling wind made a howling sound, like evil ghosts from hell breaking out of the ground and howling miserably.
Xiu'er took some dead branches and made them into a torch. She touched two rocks and after playing with them for a long time, she finally found a spark. Zi burned her hands with a few blisters. She held the torch and walked through the forest.
I can't remember how many hills I climbed. Xiu'er was so tired that she fell on the tree trunk. She was panting heavily. She was so tired. Her body seemed to be falling apart. Her lead-filled legs were too heavy to take steps.
In the dark night, she could not judge the direction of her home at all. She crawled around in the deep mountains and jungles based on her feelings. The torch in her hand was extinguished, but she did not have the strength to set a new one.
She wanted to sleep, her body was exhausted and she no longer had the strength to go forward. As long as she lived, she would have another birthday, and her third brother would still celebrate her birthday.
She leaned against the tree trunk, her tired and heavy eyelids slowly closing
On the top of the mountain in the distance, there seemed to be a looming beam of light. Xiu'er tried her best to open her eyelids, hugged the tree trunk and stood up with great effort. The light on the top of the mountain flickered, flickering on and off, like the light from the dim kerosene lamps in ordinary people's homes.
Light
There was someone nearby! Xiu'er was instantly pleasantly surprised. She dragged her numb figure and climbed up towards the light.
After spending more than two hours, Xiu'er finally climbed to the top of the mountain. Standing in front of him was a majestic temple. The whole temple was dark, and no one could see his fingers. There was no light at all.
The dim light that guided the way forward disappeared in the sky, as if it had never appeared. Everything was her illusion.
The huge dark temple was like a toppling mountain, suffocating Xiu'er. On normal days, Xiu'er would have been a bold kid, but today was the eerie Ghost Festival, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart.
She regretted a little. She knew she shouldn't have come here looking for the light.
Lightning broke through the dark sky, and the roaring thunder followed closely. The fleeting light allowed Xiu'er to see clearly the true face of the majestic temple in front of her.
The temple is dilapidated, with ruins and walls. It seems to have a history of thousands of years. The ancient bell in front of the temple is broken, and the patina has corroded it so much that its original appearance cannot be recognized. The doors and windows are broken, and the carved paper flowers have long since disappeared in the cleaning of time.
The lightning in the sky became more and more frequent, the rumbling thunder made the ears buzz, and the ground on the feet shook slightly. Xiuer followed the flickering light of the lightning and walked towards the temple.
He inadvertently put his hand on the door frame, but he grabbed a hand of gray rotten wood that turned into sawdust and fine dust in the air, disappearing in the wind. The musty smell in the hall came straight to his nose. There was a huge Buddha statue in the middle of the hall.
, the Buddha statue is a broken-headed Buddha. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, it has lost its original kindness and become beyond recognition.
There was something under her feet and she stumbled hard. Xiu'er stumbled a few times and almost fell. With the help of a bright light, she was so frightened that her legs softened and she fell directly to the ground. Mom, it was a giant black arm.
For as long as Xiu'er can remember, Third Brother would sit by the bed and tell her ghost stories every night. He would often scare her so much that she screamed and crawled into her mother's arms. Mother lovingly told her that there were no ghosts in the world, and that all ghosts
They were all superstitious fabrications. Over time, under the influence of my mother’s ears and eyes, she gradually stopped believing in ghosts and gods.
She calmed down and reached out to her arm to touch it. It was covered with a thick layer of gray and was unusually heavy. Xiu'er's eyes fell on the statue of the god inadvertently, and she suddenly realized that the arm was the arm of the statue, and there was a round head in the distance.
Scare yourself, scare yourself to death
Thunder rumbled outside the temple, and Xiu'er felt that the whole temple was shaking, and the dust on the beams and walls covered his face.
Accompanied by lightning and thunder, there was a downpour. There were many leaks in the temple. From time to time, broken tiles would fall down with a "snap" sound. Xiu'er was frightened and scared. Instead of being crushed to death by the collapse of the crumbling temple, she would rather be struck to death by lightning.
, the possibility of survival is greater in this way
Xiu'er walked out of the temple, and was hit by the sudden wind and rain so hard that she couldn't open her eyes. There was a loud bang in her ears, followed by violent shaking. She lost her balance and fell to the ground, eating a mouthful of dirt.
Perhaps Xiuer was lucky. The moment she walked out of the temple, ferocious blue lightning fell from the sky and struck the top of the temple. The wind-eroded temple could not withstand the vast catastrophe, and the top building collapsed instantly.
It was smashed straight down, and the Buddha was smashed to pieces with his arms and legs broken off.
After the world returned to calm, Xiu'er looked at the temple that was beyond recognition behind her, and once again broke into a cold sweat because of her narrow escape. The lotus seat enshrining the Buddha statue emitted a light golden glow, which was very soft and warm.
Xiu'er's eyes were caught by the strange sight in front of her. Her legs were not in control and she approached the temple again. Her body seemed to be controlled by an inexplicable force. She walked towards the lotus seat step by step, forgetting her fear.
The lotus base is covered with many waterproof golden talisman papers, forming a Bagua array. The talisman papers are painted with weird red letters, which are completely different from those drawn by ordinary ghost exorcism Taoist priests.
The well water does not interfere with the river water. The lotus seat of the Buddha statue presses the Taoist talisman. What does it mean?
The light from the talisman attracted Xiu'er's attention. She stretched out her hand curiously, peeled off the talisman and held it in her hand to study. Unexpectedly, as soon as the talisman was taken off, the giant lotus seat slowly moved away, revealing a square meter of 40 feet.
The stairs at the entrance of the cave extend to the unknown underground, and dim lights extend from the cave.
"Cackle...cluck..." As the cave went deeper, the laughter of Xin Younuo Wu could be heard.
Xiu'er thought it was an illusion and hurriedly picked out her ears. A heavy downpour fell from the top of the collapsed temple and poured into the cave entrance. The laughter just now disappeared without a trace.
The lights in the cave flickered, changing the beautiful colors. Xiu'er put away the talisman paper, climbed up the lotus platform uncontrollably, and went down the stairs.
The marble walkway is wide enough to accommodate three or four people walking side by side. There are exquisite bronze oil lamps hanging on the walls. After walking along the stone walkway for more than half an hour, the lights are getting brighter and brighter. Old rotting corpses can be vaguely seen on the stone walkway. Clothes are on the stone walkway.
Eroded by the moisture in the air, it has turned into dust and adhered to the bones.
Continuing to walk forward, the sound of gurgling streams can be heard. Walking along the flowing water, you will soon see an underground river. There is a protective bridge built on the river. The protective bridge is engraved with a majestic and lifelike floating dragon.
Walking past the protective bridge, you will see a vast palace built of white jade. The main entrance of the palace is engraved with floating cloud embroidery of dragons and phoenixes in auspicious shapes. Walking toward the main entrance, you push it with your hands, but the stone door is as solid as gold and does not move at all.
Although Xiu'er didn't know a word of Chinese characters, she often secretly went to the village to listen to Xu Xiazi telling stories. The blind man was not blind when he was young, and had been a scholar, but later he failed to pass the college entrance examination.
The words and ink contained in it turn into beautiful stories.
The blind man told a story about tomb robbing. Based on his analysis, it must be a thousand-year-old tomb. The stone door must have hidden mechanisms that cannot be opened by human power. She pressed the raised clouds and groped one by one, but after groping for a long time, she still couldn't find anything.
With no results, she fell to the ground exhausted, and kicked her foot a few times to vent her anger. Unintentionally, a raised floating cloud was hit by her kick, and it was dented...
The stone door slowly opened, and Xiu'er jumped up and looked into the palace in astonishment. As the stone door opened, dazzling golden light shone over, and a golden phoenix stood on top of the giant black coffin.
The golden phoenix is made of precious red sandalwood carvings and then coated with a layer of gold. The indoor fragrance is fragrant.
Xiu'er stepped into the hall. Golden Phoenix's blood-red eyes suddenly turned around, and with two "swish" sounds, sharp arrows coated with poison were shot straight towards the door. This mechanism was made to guard against tomb robbers.
Xiu'er was still young, and her undeveloped body was not comparable to that of an adult man. Two sharp arrows flew over her head and hit the solid white jade wall, making two small holes.
"Giggle...giggle..." The disappearing laughter came from inside the coffin.
Xiu'er's skin broke out in pimples all over her body, and there was a chill on her soles. She was startled. She saw that the coffin was surrounded by strange runes that were exactly the same as those on the rosette. She walked over and scattered the runes down as the runes in her hands grew.
The more I learned, the more Xiu'er did find out that there was nothing wrong with her ears, and there was indeed laughter in the coffin, and it was like a baby's laughter.
When the last rune was removed, the coffin suddenly shook violently. The lid of the coffin made a "bang" sound and flew straight out. It hit the outside of the hall with a bang and shattered the glass.
The accident happened so quickly that Xiu'er didn't have time to be frightened in the future. All she saw was the colorful dazzling lights flashing inside the coffin.
"Giggle...giggle..." There was a baby about two years old sitting in the coffin, with no hair on his body. He was sitting next to a stunning woman, listening to the movement outside the coffin, he raised his head and looked outside the coffin.
He has a pair of green pupils, and his face is pale and devoid of any blood.
Xiu'er was startled by his strange appearance, but he didn't have any fear. He stumbled and lay on the woman's body, waving his hands towards Xiu'er, just like an ordinary baby, hugging, wanting to hug!
The blind man told a story about a dead body giving birth to a child, but she always believed it was a fabrication. My mother said not to believe in superstition, there are no ghosts and gods in the world.
The woman in the coffin was dressed in gorgeous clothes. The illiterate Xiu'er couldn't describe her. She was the most beautiful woman in the village. She was the most beautiful woman in the village, but she was not as beautiful as the woman in the coffin.
There was an emerald-colored luminous pearl in her mouth, which was half the size of a fist.
Xiu'er's eyes were attracted by the woman's appearance, and she forgot all about the woman's appearance. Her moist and tender skin shriveled up inch by inch, and she aged...
"Roar..." The baby in the coffin roared urgently, roaring like a wild beast. He threw himself on the woman, but he couldn't stop her from turning into a mummy.
Xiu'er's eyes widened in horror, watching as the flower-like beauty eroded into a dry and rotting corpse in the air. Her eyes were focused on the female corpse, and she didn't notice at all that the baby was not crying, but roaring, and two pieces of food suddenly appeared from his mouth.
It has long fangs and gray nails that are several inches long, which is very scary.
He was lying on the female corpse, his body twitching and rising and falling
The child who lost his mother is very pitiful. Although he is the son of a corpse, it is not his fault.
Everything tonight is very strange, and all the plots are very similar to the ghost stories told by the blind man! Today is the Ghost Festival, and she must be having a nightmare!
Xiu'er opened her mouth and bit her arm, which was in great pain. But the dream in front of her did not disappear. The female corpse, the baby, the night pearl, and everything in the coffin did not disappear.
She's not dreaming, it's all real
When everything calmed down, she didn't understand how she came to the thousand-year-old tomb by a mysterious force, but the cold sweat on her forehead made her hands and feet weak. She was anxious to escape from the tomb, and she just left.
After a few steps, he stopped again
What to do with the baby? Without his mother, he will soon starve to death
It is not unprecedented for a dead body to give birth to a child. She heard from her third brother that a pregnant woman in the next village died during childbirth and was sent to Yizhuang for a night. The next day, the old man guarding Yizhuang found a newborn baby on the dead body.
The baby she was nursing was covered in blood and crying weakly. The baby was unexpectedly born. It should have been a joyous event, but everyone in the village thought it was an ominous thing. They were talking about it for fear of causing trouble. The baby's father
At night, he secretly carried the child to the back mountain and buried him alive.
Thinking about her life experience, Xiu'er looked sad. Due to the protection of her family, she was lucky to survive.
The baby in the coffin looked very much like her former self. Her family gave her a second life, and she couldn't just watch the baby in the coffin die.
