33. Three strange things
The book is back.
That evening, Wu Song went out of the city with a lantern, flying all the way, and went straight to the monster cave ten miles away.
After a bunch of incense, Wu Song encountered a series of extremely unusual strange things.
The first strange thing
On the way, Wu Song passed a large cemetery that was often haunted, and he couldn't name it. He had it before he was born. It was gloomy and cold. The tombstone fell in the grass in a mess. There was a blue ghost fire floating on the grave. In some places, a deep loess pit was dug, and there was a black lacquer coffin that had not been buried next to it. Mu, I don't know if it's a ghost lying inside.
Looking at it will make people frightening and cold all over the body.
When Wu Song walked slowly to the center of the cemetery, something strange happened. Under the bright and dark moonlight, Wu Song saw four old ghosts sitting in the pavilion playing cards. They were all dressed in gray robes with white hair. The pavilion was also called Broken Soul Pavilion.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, it looks extremely strange.
Of course, what's more creepy is that there is absolutely something wrong with these four old ghosts sitting in the cemetery playing cards in the middle of the night.
Wu Song passed by silently and pretended not to see it, but the four old ghosts saw Wu Song and greeted him.
"Master of the martial arts school, be well!"
"Concession, concession, I will leave in advance"
"Wait, we haven't finished yet"
Next, the four old ghosts told Wu Song that his master Chen Paul lived a good life below and told him not to worry about it.
Wu Song was shocked and sweated coldly on his back. He said that the master was really true, but it was just a sentence. He just asked four old ghosts to tell him that he was really full. He was afraid that he would not be scared.
Although I was afraid, I had to pretend to be calm on the surface. I hugged my fist and replied very unrestrainedly, "Thank you very much. Thank you for telling me that if there is nothing wrong, I will leave now."
Just as Wu Song was about to leave, the four old ghosts rushed out of the pavilion, stopped the way, pulled his sleeves and said, "Master Wuguan, don't worry. We are only halfway there. Your master Chen Paul also asked my four brothers to bring you something."
After saying that, one of the old ghosts turned around and ran back to the pavilion and came out with a bag. He opened it. It was a small bag. He didn't know what was inside.
"Is this?" Wu Song pointed to the bag and didn't say anything for a long time.
"This is the gold sent by your master. Master Wuguan, you have collected it!"
Inconside from saying, he stuffed the bag into Wu Song's arms. Wu Song was so shocked that his chin almost fell off in surprise. He stammered for a long time before he said, "Several, we meet by chance and give such a big gift. I really dare not take it."
"Well, it is said that your master asked someone to send it to you. Please accept it." The four old ghosts answered in unison.
"Ah, this, is this really sent by my master?"
"Is there any fake? Real gold is not from the underworld. You can rest assured to use it."
"That..."
Wu Song was stunned for a long time before he reluctantly accepted the bag of gold. He was surprised, happy and afraid. He kept thanking the four old ghosts and said that he would burn more gold and silver leaves for them when he returned to the city as a thank you.
The four old ghosts felt that Wu Song was good and moved. Finally, they told Wu Song, "The road ahead is dangerous. It's better to be careful. If you hear a woman counting plates in the dark, don't look at it. Just turn your head and run away. At that time, you will turn bad luck!"
Wu Song remembered it in his heart, held his fist and saluted again. With a deep bow, he just bowed his head. The four old ghosts disappeared, and even the broken soul pavilion was gone. A huge tomb appeared in place, and the stone tablet was engraved with the tomb of the four elders in the bamboo forest!
The second strange thing
After passing through the haunted cemetery, he walked half a miles in the direction of the moon. A dense forest appeared in front of him, surrounded by gray fog, and a tattered wooden sign was inserted crookedly on the roadside. Wu Song took a few steps closer and picked up a lantern to see what was written on the wooden sign.
"Hunter's Forest"
Yes, it is indeed the hunter's forest, four scribbles that seem to be bleeding.
A hairy moon hangs upside down in the air. Occasionally, a few bats fly overhead overhead, blowing a fishy wind.
After a few steps, Wu Song trotted and saw a bonfire at the entrance of the forest. There was a stone tablet and a road sign. As long as he got there and walked in the direction of the arrow, it was estimated that crossing another mountain would be a monster cave.
Fifty steps later, Wu Song came to the bonfire and found a dying hunter. At this moment, he was lying next to the bonfire. His face was blue, his limbs twitched, his pupils were dilated, and his chest was covered with blood, as if he had been seriously injured.
Wu Song felt that the hunter was very pitiful, as if he could not survive tonight, so he walked over and asked him what he wanted to say.
When the dying hunter saw Wu Song, he seemed to see a life-saving straw. He grabbed his arm and said intermittently, "Water, water, drink some water for me"
Wu Song quickly took out the sheepskin kettle on his body and sent it to the hunter's mouth.
The hunter struggled, held the kettle tightly, drank all the water inside in one breath, and then smiled contentedly.
Wu Song knew at a glance that this was a sign of the return of light and death. He couldn't help but feel sorry for the hunter. He wanted to save him, but there was nothing he could do. The only thing he could do was to look at him warmly and let him leave without concern.
Before he died, the hunter took Wu Song's hand and said, "I only have one request"
"Okay, you can tell me, I will help you fulfill this wish"
"Thank you..."
Next, the hunter said his request with his last breath, that is, to ask him to help kill the thousand-year-old corpse at the foot of the mountain, and then cut off its hands and feet and put them in front of his grave.
Wu Song patted his chest and promised that he would kill the thousand-year-old corpse to avenge him.
A moment later, the hunter died peacefully. Wu Song got his weapon, a long bow painted with cloud patterns and half a pot of arrows. There was a magical blue light on the arrow, which looked very sharp and extraordinary. It should be made of very rare ore.
After burying the hunter, Wu Song inserted a branch in front of his grave, counted it as a mark, and then continued on the road.
The third strange thing
At midnight, Wu Song walked into the hunter's forest alone, carrying a lantern, and came to the foot of a very hidden mountain along the rugged path, surrounded by dark woods, floating gray fog, the air was cold, and there was a bloody smell, as if it was floating from the dark mountains.
At this time, an oil lamp suddenly lit up in the darkness not far away. Wu Song quickly dodged behind a stone, blew out the lantern, and looked towards the bright light.
A shabby house appeared at the foot of the mountain. The roof collapsed in half, and the wind leaked on all sides. It seemed that it was old. I guess the wood was rotten.
Wu Song held his breath and continued to watch. In the blink of an eye, the door of the shabby house opened and a man came out.
No, I don't know anyone.
A moment later, Wu Song saw clearly that it was a dead man, white-haired, dragged to the ground, thin skin and bones, a skeleton-like head on a bamboo pole-like shoulder, swaying as he walked, and there was no light in his eyes, as black as a bottomless hole.
What is it doing?
Wu Song took a closer look and was shocked. The old monster actually walked to a well and carried water in a wooden bucket, but it was not water, but a human head, a bloody head.
Next, the monster took out the head from the bucket and nibbled it.
This kind of scene is really too bloody. Wu Song couldn't bear to look at it any longer. He hurriedly withdrew his head and said that according to the previous situation, this monster was definitely a thousand-year-old corpse.
Wu Song squatted behind the stone and thought about it. Finally, he decided to sneak behind the thousand-year-old corpse and stone it to death.
Unexpectedly, he touched a rotten stone and stood up. The evil wind behind him hit him. Wu Song shouted badly. He quickly dodged and jumped to a place ten feet away, with his back to the woods. The thousand-year-old corpse appeared in front of him.
Holding a bloody head.
The moonlight fell on it. Wu Song saw clearly that the thousand-year-old corpse was wearing a tattered green coat, as thin as a piece of paper, and it was whirping in the wind.
Not only that, the thousand-year-old corpse has only one eye, which has just been installed. There are only white eyes, which is very scary. When talking, a dry mouth is exposed, and all the teeth have been lost. A long tongue is extremely sharp at the corners of the mouth, and the top is covered with barbs.
Wu Song took a breath of cold air and was cruel. He raised his right hand and was ready to throw the stone out and kill the thousand-year-old corpse.
Unexpectedly, the thousand-year-old corpse spoke first, and his hoarse voice was like a broken bellows: "Young man, are you here to kill me?"
"Yes"
"Why did you kill me?"
"entrusted"
"Aren't you afraid that I will eat you? As long as I eat another person, I can live forever and recover my youth"
"It's disgusting. I want to walk for heaven."
"Wait, you were sent by the hunter, right?"
"How do you know?"
"I bit him. At this time, he should be dead."
"You kill innocent people indiscriminately, and I should kill you."
"Wait a minute, let me tell you a story"
"If you have a fart, I still have something very important to do"
"Don't worry"
In the flash of lightning, the thousand-year-old corpse turned into a woman in blue, beautiful and beautiful. She told Wu Song about her past in a sad tone.
It turned out that she was the hunter's wife. Not long after she got married, one day she went back to her mother's house alone, passed a stream, and then squatted down and took a sip of water. Suddenly, there was footsteps behind her. When she turned around, it was too late. I don't know what the hell bit her, and there was a burning pain on her back.
After returning home in the evening, she felt something was wrong. Sure enough, a few days later, her whole body was ulcerated and turned into a walking corpse.
Even her husband was afraid of her, and he kicked her out of the house. He took her here with an iron chain and lived here for several years. In the past few years, she has been missing her husband every day, but her husband has already had a new love and forgotten her.
So, she went crazy and ran back to the village, biting everyone, including her husband.
At this point, she approached Wu Song slowly with tears in her eyes. She wanted to find someone to rely on, but everyone was afraid of her.
Finally, she asked Wu Song, "Are you afraid of me?"
"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid!" Wu Song replied.
"What do you mean?" She was a little closer to Wu Song again.
"I don't feel"
"No, but I have feelings for you." She is close to Wu Song.
"You die, I won't like zombies," Wu Song told her.
"But I like you"
Suddenly, she rushed over, revealing her ferocious face, and her sharp tongue hit Wu Song's throat.
Wu Song suddenly raised his wrist, and the tongue was just wrapped around it, making Wu Song unable to move.
She told Wu Song with a gloomy smile, "You die, give me your body, and then we will be one."
"Hahaha" Wu Song laughed wildly and suddenly exerted his strength. A dazzling white light suddenly burst out of the cowhide wrist guard on his wrist, which made the thousand-year-old corpse unable to open his eyes and had a headache. He was shocked and had to raise his hand to cover it in front of him.
In an instant, Wu Song felt that his body was full of infinite power, as if it was about to explode. There was a fire all over his body. If not, he must vent it out. Then, Wu Song roared and suddenly jumped up, more than ten feet high, dragging the thousand-year-old corpse into the air. Then, his right hand smashed out like lightning and slapped the thousand-year-old corpse's head fiercely with the huge rotten stone.
With a loud click, the bone burst.
The thousand-year-old corpse screamed, and the head cracked several cracks in an instant. Dozens of souls struggled to rush out, rushed to the sky, and circled in the air for a long time. They waved to Wu Song, said thank you, and then floated away and disappeared in the endless night.
The thousand-year-old corpse that lost its soul completely became an empty shell. The body floating in the air decomposed little by little, like peeling color. It was not until it turned into a pile of ashes and dispersed with the wind that the evil fight came to an end.
Is it really a thousand-year-old corpse?
Wu Song rekindled the lantern. At the same time, the shabby house at the foot of the mountain was also on fire. The raging fire devoured everything. The evil, kind, the dead, and the once lived were burning and cracking.
