Sure enough, without much effort, the monkey ran back panting. When he saw us, he was stunned for a while, but he soon understood, gritted his teeth, ran to the fat man, kicked him hard on the butt.
"Damn pig, you are such a bad turtle grandson. You actually planned to trick me and made me so tired that I was half dead. You must die for me. I will skin you and make shoes."
The fat man got up from the ground, raised his head and laughed, and the two of them immediately twisted into a ball. Suddenly, the fat man's body suddenly fell to the ground, covering his back shoulder blade with one hand and howling in pain.
"Hey, what are you doing? I haven't even touched you a few times. You don't have to blackmail me like this, right?"
At first, Ashue and I didn't pay attention, thinking that he was playing with the monkey, but we soon discovered that something was wrong. The fat man's screams became more and more miserable, and big beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.
fall.
This was a bit abnormal. It would definitely not be like this when joking. We ran over quickly. Monkey and I helped him up and asked him what was wrong, but he couldn't even say a word and just kept holding his shoulders.
cried out in pain.
The problem must be with his shoulder. At this time, Axue handed over a dagger. I quickly cut open the clothes on his body. When we saw the scene on his shoulder blade, several of us couldn't help but take a breath.
My scalp feels numb.
At the position of his shoulder blade, there was an ugly ghost face the size of a bowl. The ghost face kept twisting and turning strangely. What was creepy was that the mouth on the ghost face was wide open, revealing a bloody flesh hole the size of two fingers.
It kept squirming, and the opened flesh and blood gave off waves of stench.
Seeing this grimace, my stomach turned, but I still resisted and asked him: "What the hell is this? Fatty, what did you provoke?"
The fat man grinned and sucked in the cold air. Hearing this, he said reluctantly: "Gua, I don't know, Gua Ye. I was fine just now, but suddenly it hurts so much. Also, Gua Ye, Gua Ye, I feel hungry now."
It’s killing me, but I can’t eat anything!”
This statement made me a little confused. What does it mean to be suddenly hungry but unable to eat? The monkey next to me seemed to have thought of something. He took out a pack of biscuits from the package and stuffed it into the grimace's mouth.
Immediately, we felt chills all over our bodies when we saw the grimace's mouth moving violently. He actually swallowed the biscuits in one go, and kept turning them outwards, as if he was not satisfied.
My eyelids jumped when I saw it, and the monkey couldn't help but curse. "Damn it, what the hell is this thing? It can actually eat." After saying that, he took the dagger from my hand, and then
Put it into that mouth again.
I thought to myself that the dagger was made of fine steel and it couldn't eat it, but I didn't expect that the mouth would squirm violently again and swallowed most of the dagger. If the monkey hadn't pulled it out with all its strength, the whole dagger would have been swallowed.
.
I was a little dumbfounded. Is this a ghost face or a steel-making furnace? Why can it eat everything? This situation is really weird. A ghost face growing out of a human body can actually swallow anything. If I tell you this, no one will believe it.
.
"If my guess is correct, this should be ghost-faced sore!" Shuiyue said suddenly.
As soon as I heard the name, I knew it was definitely not something simple, so I asked her what ghost-faced sores were and how they were formed.
Shuiyue said that this ghost-faced sore is a very evil thing. It is like a virus that is spread to people from other things. It can also be said to be possessed by evil spirits. It is like a glutton and eats almost everything.
, but the more you eat, the faster it grows. When the ghost-faced sores cover half of a person's body, even gods can't save him.
After saying that, Shuiyue suddenly patted my shoulder and asked me: "Wang Fo, did anything special happen when you entered this stone forest just now?"
I shook my head subconsciously, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly told her that we had just gone in twice. Nothing happened the first time, and we did not encounter any special circumstances. But the second time, the fat man
Being a little impatient, I wanted to climb up to a stone pillar, but fell off as soon as I climbed up. He said something pushed him down, but we didn't see anything, so we didn't pay attention.
I asked Shuiyue, could Fatty's current situation be related to that matter?
Shuiyue was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked us to turn off the flashlights. We did so, and the surroundings instantly fell into darkness.
"Look at those stone pillars."
I turned my head and looked around, and didn't see anything at first. But as my eyes got used to the darkness, I slowly noticed patches of red stuff on the stone pillars. When I looked closer, I felt chilled all over and noticed that there were red things on the stone pillars.
There is a dark red mark on them. These marks look like grimaces, exactly like the ones on the fat man's shoulders. At a glance, there are so many of them that you can't count them.
After Shuiyue talked about it, I realized that each of these ghost faces represented a human life. These pillars should have been left behind when human beings were sacrificed, and this abnormal shape was caused by an evil black witchcraft.
It is said that the middle of the stone pillar was hollowed out and a person was stuffed into the pillar, leaving a hole at the top and bottom, one exposing the head and one at the heart.
The person performing the sacrifice will first dig out the person's heart, then stuff it with some special things and seal it, then peel off the person's entire face, seal it again, and then stick the face to the stone pillar.
Above, the "soul-locking talisman" is finally carved on the stone pillar, which are the lines we see, in order to lock the wronged soul of the deceased in the stone pillar.
During the sacrifice, one eye of the deceased would be dug out and burned together with the heart to pay homage to the gods. Then the stone pillar would be put into a pool of water, and the fish inside would eat the corpse clean. Finally, the stone pillar would be fished out and the fish would eat it.
The remaining bones, together with the peeled off skin, were mashed and mudd to completely seal the stone pillar.
At this time, I suddenly thought of those ferocious strange fish we encountered when we came down from the Shenhu Lake. Could they have grown up feeding on corpses? There are so many stone pillars, it makes people's scalp numb just thinking about them.
Shuiyue said that this kind of thing is called "Ghost Face Totem", which can only be respected and not blasphemed. It would be strange if the fat man dared to climb up there and not get entangled.
I quickly asked her, can fat people be cured like this? Shuiyue said that this kind of thing is a disease but not a disease, that it is a ghost but not a ghost. It is a very evil thing, just like a curse, it is very tricky.
But fortunately, it won't kill people quickly. The key is that the pain is not bearable by ordinary people, and it is not difficult to treat. The problem is that we don't have the conditions and things here at all, so the situation
That's very pessimistic.
After saying that, she suddenly looked at me, with a strange look on her face and said, "Since you are with him, why did he have an accident but you are fine?"
I was stunned. What does this have to do with me? It was the fat man who climbed the stone pillar, not me.
Shuiyue rolled her eyes at me and said, do you think those things still choose people? Anything that dares to come close to them will become the target of their attacks. It must be because you have something to ward off evil spirits, so they don't dare to invade.
After thinking about it, I had no clue, so I turned to look at the monkey. He had also gone in just now, but nothing happened now!
Next, Monkey and I took out our belongings one after another. Both of us were considered poor, and we didn’t have more than one hand’s worth of personal belongings. Unexpectedly, Shuiyue soon exclaimed, and then from us
They each picked up something from their bodies.
I almost couldn't help shouting when I saw what she picked up. I never thought that what she was picking up was the two green wrenches. The one in my hand was the one that the old man lost, and the one in the monkey's hand was the one that the old man lost.
The blind man gave it to me, but later the monkey forcibly exchanged it for me with a pack of braised pig's trotters.
Shuiyue looked at the two thumb rings again and again, and it took a while before she finally showed a look of enlightenment. She raised the thing in her hand and asked us if we knew what it was.
I glanced at A Xue next to me, and she said that this thing is like jade in stone, and it is an unknown thing.
Shuiyue shook her head and said that you only know one thing but not the other. This thing is called Yan Ruyu in the Stone, but this is just a general name. It also has other names, called "Heavenly King Pillow" and "King of Hell Bone".
It is a unique jade stone that has the effect of warding off evil spirits.
Then she told us an allusion. It is said that in his later years, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty often had nightmares, dreaming that his brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Wenji, who were killed by him, and some enemies who died at their hands came to seek revenge on him.
I couldn't sleep day and night, and I was in excruciating pain.
Later, Emperor Taizong summoned two Feng Shui masters, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, and asked them how to find relief. At that time, these two Feng Shui masters had a common comment, saying that Your Majesty, you had done too much killing when you were young, and you were already injured.
Renhe, but at that time you had the destiny of heaven in your body and the aura of the true dragon to protect your body, so external evil could not get close to you. But now you have lost your sharpness, your energy and spirit have been exhausted, and you ignore your destiny, so you will be attacked by those evil spirits.
Charm took advantage of the situation and invaded your dragon body.
Although Taizong was a little unhappy after hearing this, he had no choice but to ask them if they had any solution.
The two said that this matter needed to be reported to Heaven, and they prayed to the Emperor of Heaven for a divine object, saying that Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and God will take pity on your situation. As long as God sends auspicious auspiciousness, this matter will naturally be solved.
Taizong believed it. Afterwards, the two of them were ordered to go to Qitian, the top of Mount Tai. When they came back, they brought back a three-color jade stone.
Li Chunfeng said that this thing was given by God and was called "The Bone of the King of Hell". It had the effect of warding off all ghosts. As long as the emperor made it into a dragon pillow, it would be enough to ensure your peace of mind during sleep.
Taizong did as he was told, and he no longer had nightmares after the incident. Taizong was overjoyed, but he felt that the name of the Bone of the King of Hell was not pleasant, so he renamed it "Heavenly King Pillow".
