Doe

Pei Zhen followed closely behind, never falling behind.The wind lamp swayed wildly as he ran, and the halo swayed wildly.

Baili Jueming sprinted forward with all his strength, threw the murderous corpse down, rode on him and punched him in the face.

"It's not honest to meet your grandpa!"

Pei Zhen then caught up, took out a silver needle and stuck it on the back of the murderous corpse's neck, the murderous corpse softened and collapsed on the spot like mud.

"Senior..." Pei Zhen asked, "Did you just call him Wudu?"

"Isn't it?" Baili Jueming showed Pei Zhen the face of the murderous corpse, "Look, it's a fire talisman, a fire talisman without crossing! It's such a big one, it's still burning on someone's face, tell me clearly : Brother Jueming, I left something for you, it’s on this grandson, come and get it!” He looked at the burned face of the murderous corpse, and smacked his tongue, “It’s so vile, look at burning people! That’s right. Everyone is afraid of being ugly like this.”

It turned out to be a misunderstanding, Pei Zhen shook his head with his forehead raised.

"Others are scared when they see it, so they will just take a detour, so that the things he cherishes will not fall into his hands." Pei Zhen felt that the matter became more interesting, "Unexpectedly, Grandmaster Wudu had already expected that the senior would enter the ghost country."

Baili Jueming was very moved. Although he and Wudu were brothers in the same school, but due to the great age difference, he died young. Wudu loved him as brother and teacher, and loved him very much.The main manifestations are that he does not work hard, eats too much and is lazy, and asks Wudu for money every month.Wudu sighed sadly again and again, and taught him to be self-reliant as soon as possible, then took out a stack of crumpled banknotes from the twisted eggplant bag, and put them in his palm with great reluctance.

"Jade, please be considerate of my old man."

Baili Cassia said yes, next time I will come to play the autumn wind as usual.

He doesn't remember much about his childhood, Wu Du said he was very naughty, he always liked to climb high, jumped up and down between the eaves, and was chased and shouted underneath.I don't remember the cause of death. Most of them practiced catching ghosts and died, but Wu Du said that he fell and fell to death. He didn't believe that he died so uselessly, so he decided that he died catching ghosts.Since the memory became clear, he stayed with Wudu on Baochen Mountain, and their relationship has always been very good.

He knew that the Taoism of Wudao was at its peak, but he didn't expect that it had already reached the level of predicting the future, and he had prepared a way out for him here early.As he got older, his heart became very soft. Thinking of that old guy, Baili Jueming's eyes became sore.He reached up and down to search for the leather strap of the murder corpse's sleeve pouch, but found nothing.In the end, the eyes of the two fell on the bulging belly of the murderous corpse. Baili Jueming pressed his belly, it was hard, and there was obviously something inside.

"No way," Baili Jueming couldn't believe it, "Wudu hid something in his stomach? How can this be done? Cut his stomach open?"

Pei Zhen pondered for a moment and stood up.Baili Jueming thought he was going to find tools, but this guy took out a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and stood still five steps away.

"Senior, it's up to you." He smiled warmly.

Baili Jueming really wanted to beat this kid up, so he gave him a blank look, stood up and checked the house, to make sure there were no dead bodies around, so as not to sneak up on a half-dissected corpse.Carrying the wind lamp around, just as the curtain was lifted, a bunch of soft things fell on the top of the head.I don't know what it is, it's dripping wet, Baili Cassia's scalp is numb, and he quickly grabs his head and throws it on the ground.Pressing down on the wind lamp, it turned out to be a piece of blood-red intestines.

Seeing his bloody head, Pei Zhen looked very sympathetic, and threw him a veil from a distance.

Baili Jueming was so angry that he vomited blood, wiped his head with a handkerchief, and pointed at him, "Remember, I will get you dirty too."

Lifting up the wind lamp and looking up, a dead body was hung on the beam of the house with both hands tied. The part below the waist was gone, and the upper body was half-drawn, still dangling.He was wearing the Xie family's tangled white apricot gown, and he seemed to be the Xie family who came here decades ago.Pei Zhen frowned, "Why is the death so miserable? It seems to have been bitten by some ferocious beast."

"Do you want to take it down and have a look?" Baili Jueming asked.

I used the Lingxi knife to chop the rope, but it didn't break after two or three strokes.The two of them took a closer look, and found that the rope was the corpse-binding rope of Xianmen, which was so strong that it could be easily broken.

I had no choice but to go up the beam for an injection. Pei Zhen handed the needle pack to Baili Cassia, who held it in his mouth and jumped up the beam like a monkey.He finally understood that this little bastard Pei Zhen was here for an outing, and he had to do all the dirty work for him.He felt bitter. After serving his apprentice, he had to serve his son-in-law. What kind of worldly way is this?The neck of the hanging corpse was a little away from the beam of the house, the light was dim, Baili Jueming's old eyes were dim, and he couldn't see clearly, and the needles he played for a long time failed to pierce his acupuncture points.

Pei Zhen sighed: "Senior, I only have one pack of needles left."

"You didn't say it earlier!" Baili Jueming said angrily.

Baili Jueming clamped his legs between the beams of the house and hung himself upside down, so he happened to be face to face with the hanging corpse.The corpse was pale, and like the other corpses found in the village, it was not decomposed.He and Pei Zhen pondered for a long time why the corpses in the ghost country would not rot. After much deliberation, it should have something to do with the ghost mother's spells.The rules of the evil ghost ghost domain are different from those of the outside world. Baili Jueming's ghost domain can guide magma to the surface, and the ghost mother may have some unknown ability to keep the corpses in the ghost domain from decaying.

The hanging corpse was alive, just a slap away from him, as if it would open its eyes the next moment.Baili Jueming said silently, don't open your eyes if you are sensible, or I will burn you with fire.The hanging corpse is very aware of current affairs, and hangs quietly.Baili Jueming turned him over and pricked his neck with a needle.

Done, Baili Jueming jumped off the beam, pulled out the Lingxi knife to dissect the murderous corpse.The corpses in Guiguoli were all very fresh, with the tip of the knife submerged in the oily skin, gurgling blood rushed out.The intestines inside were pink and white, and the internal organs were crowded together. Baili Jueming resisted the urge to vomit, and stretched his bare hands into the abdominal cavity of the corpse. The abdominal cavity was wet and sticky, and chirped as he pulled it out.

Baili Jueming retched several times, and said, "How did Wudu put things in?"

Pei Zhen said: "Let's not think about this problem."

The bulging intestines were pulled out from the abdominal cavity, like a long blood-red python.Baili Jueming cut open the intestine with a knife and finally took out the contents.After such an encounter, he was covered in blood, and he was really fierce.

Pei Zhen took pity on him very much, gave him many handkerchiefs, and said caringly: "You don't need to return them."

Baili Jueming: "..."

What Wudu left them was a jade box. Upon closer inspection, the jade turned out to be Bing Chan Jade, which was specially placed in the mouth of the dead for embalming. It is hard to buy in the market. It is said that it can only be found in very old ancient tombs. , I didn't expect Wudu to leave such a big box for him.Baili Jueming was ecstatic. Although this thing is not as good as the six-petal lotus heart, it can slow down his rotting speed, and it won't be a problem to last for three or two years.

"Unexpectedly, Grandmaster Wudu even prepared this." Pei Zhen said in a low voice.

"This old man, do a good job in a low voice." Baili Jueming clicked his tongue.

The lock was unlocked, and Baili Jueming opened it to see. Inside were two octagonal bronze mirrors, each wrapped in white silk.Wudu is a particular person, everything stuffed into the corpse's belly is neatly arranged like this.The two found a drum stool to set up a lantern, and polished the bronze mirror. Pei Zhen drew the runes, but the mirror was not lit, and ordinary dead objects generally did not respond.

"Huh?" Baili Jueming looked in the mirror, "What's going on? Pei Zhen, did you remember the runes wrongly?"

Pei Zhen shook his head, "Impossible."

"Isn't this the mirror of the sect, or an ordinary bronze mirror? What does Wudu want to do, let me play with the mirror here? Is he sick?" Baili Jueming picked up the mirror and looked at himself, and the mirror just reflected Out of him, Pei Zhen, and the half-stretched hanging corpse on the beam.The light in the room was dim, and the faces of the three people were all gloomy, very strange.He looked at himself in the mirror, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said: "Wait, old man Wudu left the mirror to me, but I don't know what broken runes of your sect! He left it to me. Can't open it either."

"What do you mean by senior?"

Baili Jueming nodded, "So this mirror must not be opened with the runes of your sect, Wudu modified the runes."

He rubbed his hands together, and drew a fire talisman on the mirror, and the mirror ignited golden-red fireworks out of thin air, and then the flame went out, and the mirror glowed brightly.A large pale face instantly appeared in the mirror. It was a middle-aged man, looking flustered and sweating profusely.

"I don't know who will pick up this mirror, and I don't know if I can get out alive. All in all, if someone who comes after sees this mirror, he must remember one thing," the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, and said, "Xie Cenguan kills me. If I leave the ghost country without my life, the descendants of the Yu family will avenge me!"

"What?" Baili Jueming and Pei Zhen looked at each other.

The image in the mirror turned and faced a hut, tables and chairs were piled up against the wall, and the door was tightly blocked by sundries.Something was banging against the doors and windows, and the Yu family frantically piled more boxes on top.The door kept banging loudly, and there seemed to be some huge monster behind it.Soon Baili Jue knew what it was. It wasn't a monster, but a lot of corpses. They broke through the window and put their hands in through the cracks in the window lattice.Countless pairs of miserable white arms with eyes full of eyes protruded from the gap between the tables and chairs, scratching around, and the murderous corpse roared behind the board wall.

"Brother Yu Family, open the door!" Baili Jueming heard a sinister male voice, "Long time no see, open the door!"

"How did Sect Master Xie become like this?" Someone said in panic, "It's been a long time since we saw each other? We just separated!"

"Yeah, didn't he say that he would lead people to search the ghost building first, why did so many murderous corpses be attracted to kill us in a blink of an eye!"

"He's bewitched!" Yu Lianhai roared, the veins on his forehead popping out, "Quick, block the doors and windows!"

"You guys go, I'll stay and block the door!" A tall man stood up and sat on the crescent table to cover the crumbling door panel, "You go! Go!"

Pei Zhen said softly: "This is the room where we found the sword amulet."

The shadow covered his face, like a gray and black veil on him.Baili Jueming didn't pay attention to his expression, and was still immersed in shock. Baili Jueming never imagined that what Yu Lianhai blocked in the Huotang hut was Xie Cen Pass.Xie Cenguan was fascinated by ghosts?Why do you want to kill Yu Lianhai when you're full?

Could it be that he is as unpredictable as Wudu, anticipating that Mrs. Yu will coerce Xie Xunwei to marry Yu Fuchun, so he came here to seek revenge from Yu Lianhai?This is obviously nonsense.The mirror was dark, Pei Zhen handed Baili Jueming the second mirror, "Senior, open the mirror quickly."

Draw the Fire Talisman, and the second mirror lights up.The mirror surface is very dark. When they put the mirror against the light source, the inside is still very blurry, as if there is a layer of veil in front of the mirror.There was a heavy breathing sound in the mirror, once and for all.

"Quickly, hang him up." A voice came from afar inside, "That thing is coming soon."

Baili Jueming made a distinction, and whispered, "It's Yu Lianhai's voice."

Pei Zhen stretched out her index finger to seal his lips, motioning him not to speak.

The surface of the mirror suddenly turned red, and upon careful inspection, it should be that there was a red light inside.This red light came from nowhere, covering the sky and covering the earth, like a thin layer of rouge on the mirror.

Yu Lianhai's voice became urgent, "It's coming! Hurry up!"

The ethereal wind chime sounded from the mirror, which seemed to be happening far away and could hardly be heard clearly.The mirror surface suddenly turned black, but the panting sound that had always existed did not end, and was accompanied by the sound of rustling.Baili Jueming realized that it was the mirror holder who was moving the mirror.Sure enough, after a while, the mirror was turned on, and this time the picture was clearer. They saw a black figure hanging from the beam in the distance, the door was open, and there was a horse corridor outside. Like a sea of ​​blood.

"Shasha... Shasha..."

"Shasha... Shasha..."

A terrifying sound is approaching.

"It's your own fault, don't blame me." Yu Lianhai said fiercely to the figure, "When that thing appeared, it had to eat something before it would leave. I can only feed it with you."

The figure didn't respond at all, like a dead chicken.Yu Lianhai retreated with his men bent down, leaving only the black shadow hanging in the middle of the huge room.The red light became more and more intense, and something heavy moved over not far away.Both Baili Jueming and Pei Zhen heard the sound of planks being crushed, and the whole enclosure seemed to be trembling with fear.The figure seemed to wake up, and raised its head little by little.A tall, thin figure appeared in the red light. He was so tall and his neck was so long that his head was blocked by the door lintel, making him look very strange.Baili Jueming was about to take a closer look at what it was, when the image in the mirror suddenly pressed down and faced the floor.The mirror holder got scared and took the mirror back.

"what--"

The man's shrill scream pierced the darkness, like a sharp knife piercing his ear socket.The mirror trembled slightly, and it was the mirror holder who was hiding in the dark trembling in fear.They heard the creepy chewing and the sound of blood dripping on the floor.After a long time, the screams turned into moans, the red light gradually faded, and the sound of the wind chimes also disappeared.The mirror was raised again to reflect the figure hanging on the beam.He was groaning, only half-stretched, with a length of intestines dangling, swaying like a swing.

Baili Jueming couldn't stand it anymore, it was so painful that he was still alive.This must be the man on the beam, Baili Jueming glanced back at him, he was hanging quietly with his head tilted.Inside the mirror, he lasted for dozens of breaths, and finally he was completely silent.

"What's in the red light?" Pei Zhen asked in a low voice.

"It seems to be a person."

"The sound of the wind chime, did seniors hear it? The wind chime outside was obviously filled with lead, but now it is ringing. The second law that Grandmaster Wudu said should be that when the wind chime sounds, ghosts will come out." Pei Zhen raised his eyebrows.

"In short, we have to hide when we hear the wind chime. I can't deal with this thing. If the six-petal lotus heart is still in my chest, I will beat it so that my mother doesn't recognize it. It's a pity that it's not there." Baili Jueming spread his hands.

The light and shadow in the mirror flashed, and the two realized that the sound and shadow in the mirror was still going on.The mirror was completely dark just now, and they thought it was over.A faint light illuminates the mirror surface, revealing a pale and thin face inside.He is the mirror holder. He is good-looking, with strong bones. If he is fatter and shaved off his beard, he must be a handsome man.But when Baili Jueming saw him, his eyes widened immediately, as if a lightning bolt struck his head, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"I'm Xie Cenguan, and today is the eighth day since I entered the ghost country of Huangquan. Everyone is crazy, and so am I. Who can tell me, am I alive or dead?" Xie Cenguan laughed bitterly and turned his head Seeing the half of the black shadow not far away, he murmured, "This place is a ghostly place, no one can get out... No one can go out..."

He turned back again and looked into the mirror.The shadow covered his face, and Baili Jueming suddenly felt that his expression was a bit vicious.

The mirror suddenly went out, this time it was really gone.

Baili Jueming was still dumbfounded, Pei Zhen looked at him sideways, "What's wrong, senior?"

"Wait, let me make sure. I... I must have read it wrong."

He couldn't believe what he saw, it was impossible in his cognition.When encountering this kind of thing, the usual reason is that one is bewitched by evil spirits.

Baili Jueming climbed onto the beam of the house, and the corpse rope was tied into a tight knot, which took a lot of effort to untie.It hit the ground like a bag of hanging corpses, and the bright red viscera flowed out sparingly.Baili Jueming jumped down and squatted beside the dead body to study his face.Looking at the lamp, it is clear that he has a clear and stern face, and a fair face, exactly the same as the man who called himself Xie Cenguan just now.

"God," Baili Jueming couldn't help being shocked, "It's so fucking exactly the same..."

He stopped in the middle of speaking, because he saw Pei Zhen squatting down too.Pei Zhen stretched out his cold fingers and touched the same cold cheek of the dead body.

"Is he Xie Cenguan?" Pei Zhen asked in a low voice, "Who the hell is he?"

"What's wrong with you?" Baili Jueming sensed something was wrong with this guy.

It's hard to say that Pei Zhen is different from usual, he doesn't have a smile or other expressions.Baili Jueming just felt that he suddenly changed at this moment, the fingers that touched the dead body, the frail white wrist, the thin and sharp wrist bones under the flesh, were as hard and cold as a knife forged from steel.
