With a weird smile on his face, he gradually stretched out his hands from the water. The hands were also dark and dry, and they grabbed the short and fat man's neck. In the short and fat man's frightened and desperate eyes, he dragged his whole body into the water.
In the water!
The river water instantly turned blood red.
There were still stubby splashes of water in the middle of the river, but the water splashes became smaller and smaller. Finally, only a skeleton hand reached out of the water, and then sank little by little.
Plop!
Mustache sat down on the ground and said in a crying voice: "Master, thank you, master. Master, you are my biological father. Thank you for your life-saving grace..."
Mustache was very moved.
If Bai Wuji hadn't gone into the water and swam across by himself, he would have definitely died today.
Tonight was different from the past. Mustache saw more strange things than usual. Normally, he would scare passers-by with the red dragon poison given by the villagers, and then trick people into entering the village by saying that ghosts were breaking walls. But today,
Someone was killed by the red dragon Gu, and the tragic scene really stimulated Mustache.
Moreover, the busload of tourists today were quite aggressive, and Xiaozi always felt that he was in danger of being beaten to death. In addition, there was a large-scale sacrificial event in the village tonight, and no one was there to see him off, so he planned to go back alone.
If he had followed his original plan, he would probably be dead by now.
"Okay, let's go quickly. Be obedient and don't mess around." Bai Wuji sighed.
He wanted to take everyone away, but there were some things he really couldn't do.
Everyone kept walking forward for more than an hour, and a strange smell gradually came from the air. In fact, the strange smell smelled very good, it should be a fragrance, but I don’t know why, whether it was Chu Ling
Bai Wuji, Xiaozi and the other tourists all thought the scent was evil.
"Why does this fragrance smell so awkward?" Chu Ling looked at Bai Wuji in confusion.
At first, Bai Wuji didn't understand, but suddenly he thought of something.
"I understand, boss, we are probably reaching the end of the river."
"The end of the river?" Chu Ling looked at Bai Wuji puzzled.
Bai Wuji nodded and continued: "Isn't this river a place for water burials for these Thai people? Before the water burial, the body must be washed clean, smeared with spices, and thrown into the river, but the person will not sink, but will still die.
They drifted along the river and finally gathered in one place, or flowed into larger rivers, lakes and seas, or stopped at the end of the river. The smell was so strong and strange, I guessed that we might have reached a place where corpses were gathered."
Upon hearing the corpse, Xiaozhu felt weak again and asked Bai Wuji in a tearful voice: "Master, can we die?"
Bai Wuji laughed dryly: "The yin energy and soul are all in the river. The corpse is a corpse. As a grown man, can you stop peeing all the time?"
"Ah, I see..." Mustache breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing his grandson's cowardly and hateful appearance, Bai Wuji felt helpless.
Everyone walked for a while and found that the width of the river gradually narrowed and the water was no longer rushing. This was quite contrary to the laws of nature. Where did the water slip away before? It shouldn't have dried up at the end.
Bar?
Later, Bai Wuji led people to another hilltop, and the river stopped there. At the end of the river, there were indeed piles of bones, just like a skull mountain.
Bai Wuji looked carefully and found that the river water had not disappeared. There seemed to be a huge hole under the pile of skeletons. The river water lay down along the hole, but the skeletons had been piled here for who knows how many years, forming a
A natural skeleton network, the bones were blocked outside, and only water flowed out of the cave along the huge hole.
"It's finally the end." Mustache sat down on the ground, but looking at the top of the mountain, he looked at Bai Wuji as if asking for help: "But Master, how do we go now?"
That's right, the problem is here again.
The mountain blocks the way, and although the river has reached its end, the pile of skeletons and the rest of the water are still full of Yin Qi, and hundreds of ghosts are wandering around, so encountering them is still a dead end.
Bai Wuji looked at it. The mountain was very strange. It was as if a knife had cut it straight from top to bottom. There was no slope at all. It was basically impossible to climb up and cross the mountain. Then this was a dead end.
How to go?
"Hey, silly, there is a cave here, I don't know what's in it..." Chu Ling suddenly said, this girl has been away from Bai Wuji for a long time, Bai Wuji followed the sound, and found Chu Ling standing on the skeleton
Not far from the pile, he pointed to a location where the entrance of the cave could be vaguely seen blocked by vines.
Bai Wuji quickly led people over, looked at the entrance of the cave, and found that the vines had been moved and cut with a knife, so Bai Wuji asked Chu Ling: "Boss, did you cut them?"
"Huh? No, it's like this since I came here... Oh! Has anyone gone in?"
"I feel it should be, and the knife marks are not very smooth, and the equipment is not very good. It doesn't look like tourists came in, but it looks like villagers chopped it with a hatchet."
"Then someone has gone in, why don't we go in and take a look? There must be some treasure hidden in this mountain, right?" Mustache immediately came over.
Bai Wuji didn't like to talk to him. He didn't care whether there was something from the past hidden in the mountain. What he cared about was whether there was any exit to the outside world. Otherwise, if he walked back the same way, it would be dawn.
, and the group of villagers must have discovered it a long time ago and chased him out. When hundreds of people were there, Bai Wuji felt that Chu Ling would really be beaten to tears.
So, Bai Wuji decided to go into the cave to explore and see what was going on.
But this time in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, Bai Wuji asked Chu Ling and these people to stay outside and went in by himself. If there was no problem, he would really find an exit and then take everyone in.
"But what if there is someone hiding inside?" Chu Lingxiao frowned.
Bai Wuji was confused: "What happened to the Tibetans?"
"The people in the village, including the Muay Thai fighter who just escaped, may be hiding inside. You can't beat him."
What Chu Ling said made sense. Bai Wuji really couldn't defeat that kid.
What to do now?
In fact, this matter was originally quite easy to handle. Bai Wuji only needed to bring the soul-sealing box of the old ghost in. If something happened, the old ghost would get on top of him. Even if he couldn't be beaten by the time, he could just hit the magic talisman on his leg and run away.
Ah. But the problem is that although Chu Ling originally packed up all the ghost-catching and exorcizing gadgets at home, she was so focused on collecting debts that she actually forgot to bring her luggage! The whole way, she was empty-handed! Except for her personal belongings
Apart from the hell-breaking talisman, three nine-star divine spells, the bronze mirror, a zombie-repelling artifact, and the ghost talisman, everything else is at home, including the soul-sealing boxes of the old ghost head and the little female ghost.
Because of this, the two of them must go back in Qitian, otherwise the two poor Chu Ling shikigami will be in misfortune. Not only will their vitality be greatly damaged, but if they are shallow, they may lose their souls.
This is a big mistake.
Of course, the biggest problem now is that Bai Wuji can't get in by himself. After much deliberation, Bai Wuji has no choice but to say: "Then there is no other way. Go inside, we are indispensable. You stay outside and don't touch this place."
Anything nearby, then boss, give each of them a magic talisman to take with them. If you meet anyone, you can go into the cave to find us."
Everyone agreed. There was no other way. Now that there are people here who have the ability to deal with ghosts, Bai Wuji and Chu Ling must listen to them.
But Mustache insisted on following him, saying that he had been here for such a long time, and at least he understood Thai customs, so he might be able to help.
Since he was not afraid of death anyway, Bai Wuji took him in.
But in fact, Xiao Hui is not afraid of death, but feels safer when he is with Chu Ling and Bai Wuji.
The three of them entered the cave. It was dark inside. Mustache lit a flashlight and looked forward. Under the light of the flashlight, they found black flesh lumps hanging from the ceiling of the cave. At first, Mustache didn't know what they were. After walking in,
All those fleshy lumps flew up!
"Oh my God! Help!" Xiao Hu was so frightened that he sat on the ground and shouted for help. Chu Ling and Bai Wuji also squatted down quickly and waited for these black things to fly by before Bai Wuji impatiently picked them up.
Mustache: "It's not a ghost, it's just a group of bats."
Mustache then patted his chest and stood up, and the three of them continued walking forward.
It is said that the structure inside the cave is quite simple. It is a road that forks every time you keep walking. Of course, this is Bai Wuji’s favorite road. After walking for a while, a strange smell gradually came into the noses of Bai Wuji and Chu Ling.
Son, the two of them had smelled this smell too much in the past few days. Without thinking too much, they immediately understood that it was the smell of rotting corpses!
Is there another corpse ahead?
The two looked at each other, with Mustache holding his nose: "Why is it so smelly? It seems like I smelled the corpse in the coffin before..."
Chu Ling nodded: "It's the corpse."
Mustache was so frightened that his legs went weak.
"There are only corpses. I don't see any resentment or ghost energy. It should be pretty safe. Why don't you just walk softly? Hurry up." Bai Wuji was almost annoyed to death by this human trafficker. The first thing he did when he returned home was
This guy is sent in, whether he is shot or imprisoned for life.
The three of them continued walking, and the smell of rotting corpses became stronger and stronger. Chu Ling was a girl after all, so she endured it at first, but in the end the smell was so strong that she retched several times. But at this moment,
Bai Wuji suddenly patted the retching Chu Ling on the shoulder: "Hey, boss, look what that is!"
"Ah? Cough cough!" Chu Ling immediately coughed violently, stretched out her hand and hit Bai Wuji: "Silly x, you are annoying, the bile is choking in your throat... what is this?"
Chu Ling was stunned mid-sentence.
The cave in front of me widened to about 500 square meters in size. Among them, there were white oval objects hanging upside down from the top of the cave, about the size of a person, densely filling the entire space.
And that rotten smell came from this.
"Why does this look like... does it look like a spider egg?" This scene reminded Bai Wuji of a foreign blockbuster movie he watched as a child.
"Look, silly X, what's sealed in these white threads are... rotten corpses." Chu Ling came to the white dumpling closest to her. Although the white dumpling sealed the person, it itself
It is somewhat translucent, and under the illumination of a flashlight, you can see the rotting skeletons inside, and even the minced meat and wriggling maggots on the skeletons.
"Let's, let's go back, two masters, these corpses can't crawl out of this cocoon, right? I, I'm scared..." Mustache's legs were weak again and he was peeing.
Bai Wuji ignored him, but he really didn't want to stay in this place anymore. The smell alone was terrible.
But at this time, Chu Ling suddenly said "Huh" in surprise, and then walked forward.
Bai Wuji saw it from the corner of his eye and quickly followed: "Boss, why are you going?"
Chu Ling stretched out her little finger and pointed at a white silk cocoon not far in front of her, and said, "I just saw that the white ball over there seemed to move. Let's go over and have a look."
"Did you move?" Bai Wuji was not calm at that time. Don't really crawl out. A group of dead people and a group of living people were beating him up. No matter how powerful Bai Wuji was, he couldn't protect everyone. But when he followed
When Chu Ling looked in the direction of her finger, she discovered that the white cocoon Chu Ling pointed at seemed a little different from the others.
He and Chu Ling quickly pushed aside the other cocoons around them and walked in to take a closer look. Bai Wuji was surprised to find that the cocoon had the aura of a living soul, and when he shined a flashlight on it, the face inside turned out to be that of an acquaintance!
