How many densely packed corpses are there? No one can count them, but the corpses are faintly paving a path leading to the front, with fresh trampling marks, indicating that the people who came in have been walking deeper. This is also a path.
It is a good proof that at least so far, there is not much danger. Mustache got in from here and stepped on countless corpses. The feeling was very bad. It always made people feel that there were still people below.
The thing that is not dead will suddenly stretch out a hand and grab its ankle.
The people in front had been in for a long time. When they got here, Xiao Hu still found no trace of anyone. But as soon as he lowered his gaze, he noticed something strange on a layer of corpses not far away. He slowly
Walking slowly over, there must have been a fierce fight here. The old corpses were dismantled in pieces. Next to it, a corpse caught the attention of Mustache.
The body died very shortly, within three or four hours at most. The mustaches of the expedition teams at various locations of this major event could roughly distinguish them. Looking at the clothes and equipment of the deceased, he could tell
I felt that this should be a pilgrim or a member of the human world. It has become a habit of Mustache to identify the cause of death when seeing a corpse. The corpse was lying on its side, and Mustache used an alloy tube to gently turn it over.
come over.
There were no obvious wounds on the body, but there was a dark palm print on his left cheek, as if something had slapped him, leaving this mark.
Ghost slaps on the back.
Mustache was the first to come up with an idea. The legend about ghost slapping on the back was widely circulated among the older generation in the past. It was said, just that, when Wei Ba was young, he encountered a ghost slapping on the back when he went into the pit.
There were four black fingerprints on his shoulders, which did not disappear until his death. Mustache had never encountered these, but he had heard many related rumors. After thinking about it again, he felt that this was not the case.
In the words of the older generation, ghost slapping on the back is just a way for things under the old pit to expel outsiders. The purpose is to scare people, not to kill people. If you are in the old pit and suddenly feel someone tapping you lightly from behind,
, he would immediately leave without looking back and crawl out of the thief hole.
In other words, this is a stern warning. If you leave, forget it. At most, you will leave a palm print on your body, which will be something you can brag about when you go out in the future. But if you don't leave, the consequences will be unpredictable.
However, the corpse in front of him was obviously attacked from the front by something, and it might have been killed with one slap. Mustache gently pressed the blackened left cheek of the corpse with a dagger, and almost all of the flesh was rotten.
, a very light but already very smelly smell floated down the cheeks.
Mustache frowned. What on earth attacked this man and caused such serious consequences? But nothing strange could be seen from the corpse's neck and face, so Mustache opened the other person's clothes. The corpse's chest and
The abdomen looks intact, however
The dagger was lightly pierced, and a stream of thick black water emerged from the abdominal cavity and chest cavity. The stench could almost make a person faint. The whole corpse was like a watermelon rotten from the inside.
There was only a black mark on his face, but the inside of his body was completely rotten.
Mustache was very nervous. Not only was he nervous about the danger here, but he was also deeply worried about Jinpu Awang. He immediately discarded the body and continued to move forward. The green light in the hollow became brighter, almost
Without any light source, he could vaguely distinguish the road under his feet. There were traces of people walking along the way, so he would not lose his way. Mustache turned off the light source and followed these traces. He walked faster and faster because he was immersed in it.
When I was in this situation, the uneasiness in my heart became even more serious.
After walking forward a short distance, the terrain changed and the way forward was blocked. A large stone wall divided the cave into two pieces. There was an opening about two meters above the ground, which you had to climb up.
Only then could he get to the other side of the hole. Mustache couldn’t say he was scared, but it was indeed scary to walk in such a place. In addition, he was worried about Jinpu Awang, so he didn’t hesitate much and saw that he could use his strength during the climb.
Wherever you are, prepare to climb up.
Because the light source was not turned on, everything had to be observed by the flickering green light. As soon as Mustache's feet stepped on the first raised stone on the stone wall, he turned his head inadvertently, and something exploded on the right.
A ball of green light suddenly lit up like a large bunch of cold fireworks.
Mustache's heart immediately tightened, and he immediately retracted the second foot that was about to climb up. He saw a figure squatting not far to the right. The figure had its back to him and was obviously moving. Mustache couldn't tell clearly who he was.
No one could clearly see what he was doing, but judging from his vague actions, it looked like he was rummaging through a layer of corpses.
But when he looked again, the mustache's scalp tightened again. He saw this squatting shadow pulling at the old corpse, and at the same time stuffing the pulled out things into his mouth. The mustache suddenly stopped.
Knowing whether to advance or retreat, the stone under his feet suddenly loosened and made a harsh sound. The sound immediately attracted the attention of the shadow. He turned his head and immediately saw the little shadow with a pair of green eyes.
beard.
At the same time, Mustache basically saw this shadow clearly. It was unclear whether this shadow should be regarded as a "person". He had a head, a trunk, and limbs, but the proportions of his facial features and limbs were seriously out of balance.
Most of the hair on his head fell off, leaving only a few sparse bunches, long trailing behind his head. His mouth was surprisingly large, with sharp teeth. His arms hung down, almost past his knees. He had begun to move toward
Mustache walked slowly, chewing a human bone with black substance in his mouth as he walked.
In this industry, many things have been lost and are only passed down by word of mouth. Therefore, most of the younger generations have not witnessed anything with their own eyes. Their relevant knowledge is from the oral accounts of the older generations. Regarding the thing in front of me, Mustache
I haven't seen it either, but from the old man's mouth in the past, he heard something that should be very similar to the one in front of him. The environment here in Tibetan areas is different from that in the mainland, and Mustache cannot be 100% sure about this.
Is this what the old man once said?
In fact, what Lao Paizi told me was first heard from the Lu family in Shanxi. The Lu family is good at digging mass graves that no one else can touch. The more dead people, the heavier the yin, the higher the risk factor. There are many
Only their family can handle the trap. Therefore, the Lu family’s experience in this area is unparalleled.
According to the Lu family's story, their family didn't know when they discovered that a strange thing was growing in the place where corpses were piled up. Logically speaking, this kind of thing should not be called a living thing, but they
It can move, attack, and hunt. This kind of thing usually appears in places where there are a lot of corpses. It is a relatively strong or resentful minority among the dead.
The Lu family calls this kind of thing "Tiger Swallowing".
Many local crawlers in the past treated Hutun like a rice dumpling, using black donkey hooves, glutinous rice, and ink thread to greet him, but it was of no use at all. The fate of those who went into the pit was particularly miserable. Hutun would not give any warning, they
They like to eat meat and bones. Sometimes, the pit is too fat and the crawlers have to pay the price.
But the price refused to give up, so they came up with all kinds of weird methods. Someone once guarded the entrance of an old pit, throwing meat and bones into it regularly every day, hoping to feed the tiger. But the Lu family was not convinced of this method.
They are very disdainful and even feel ridiculous. Only they know that Hutun never eats fresh meat.
Tiger swallows are much more difficult to deal with than zongzi. They are not afraid of weapons attacks, their upper limbs are extremely long, and they eat all kinds of carrion all year round. The corpse poison is unimaginably strong, and even a little bit of it will kill people. It can be said that the Lu family is in full bloom.
In those years, only their family had the only way to deal with Hu Tun. After the Lu family was ruined, some things in the family were forced to be spread out, but Hu Tun was not used as a test subject.
When Lao Paizi told Xiaozhu these things, Xiaozhu thought it was a bit redundant. But Lao Paizi told him seriously that no one in this industry knows too much.
You may know these things and never use them in your life, but as long as you encounter them once in a while, these seemingly useless things may save your life.
Perhaps it was the teaching of the old man many years ago that made Mustache feel at ease at this moment. He knew that although the strange thing in front of him was difficult to deal with, it was not impossible. It was just that fighting it was quite difficult.
The big danger. Mustache thought nervously again and looked at the entrance leading to the other half of the cave. He could crawl over quickly, but in doing so, he might lead Hutun to follow him. If
If you encounter other enemies there, the situation will be even worse.
Therefore, it is wisest to deal with Hutun in a relatively safe situation now.
Mustache slowly put down the backpack in his hand, shook off the gloves in his hand, took out another pair and put it on his hands. These gloves were made from tanned weasel skin. They were soaked with medicine many times and put on again.
Countless layers of oil have blocked every pore on the leather, preventing even gas from penetrating. In the past, dirtbags used it to directly touch things inside the coffin to prevent poisoning.
The alloy pipe was almost useless. Mustache took out another piece of rope and cut it at the waist. After doing this, he took a deep breath and slowly walked out from the climb. He had to be careful, because this place was so
It's so big, that kind of yin energy can almost drown ordinary people alive. I really don't know how many tigers will be raised in a place like this.
If there was only one, Xiao Hu felt that he could still deal with it. If there was one more, then he would have no chance of winning at all.
