Seventy-two Changes of the Evil Spirits - v4 Chapter 15
Underground shrine.
Professor Shao was bathed in the radiance, with the head of Ningyueke rolling down under his feet.
This scene.
It is as if the new **** in the myth came into being on the corpse of the old god.
He is also like a new deity, full of ambition, and eagerly turned around to face his kingdom of God.
He saw it.
The “gateway” is an irregular circular hole, over it, a natural cave is seen.
Pillow of corpses in the cave.
Layers of corpses filled the field of vision all the way into the invisible depths of the cave’s corners. several hundred? several thousand? No one knows the number. It can only be seen that the flesh and blood is eaten as nourishment, and the bones vacate into a hotbed, growing dense white, long hyphae, creeping and weaving in the bones, escaping a faint white light.
The so-called “kingdom of God” is actually a cemetery.
“This is impossible…” Professor Shao muttered incredulously.
But what is unbelievable? Although the flesh and blood of the corpses have been hollowed out, the clothing and decorations are relatively intact. It can be seen that they are the traditional costumes of the locals as painted by the murals, and the villagers have entered the kingdom of God.
“No, no, no! Fake! It’s all an illusion.”
“right!”
His expression suddenly became agitated again.
“Illusion! This must be a test, the mountain god’s test on me!”
As he said, he was going to get into the hole regardless, but just next to the entrance of the hole, an indescribable stench hit his face, and he was in a trance. He fell into the hole and landed among the corpses covered with mycelium.
Professor Shao, who had been slowed down, subconsciously wanted to go in and pick it up, but this time, he was firmly held back, turned his head, and saw Li Changan’s stern gaze fall into the hole.
He looked at it in surprise.
The walkie-talkie is black, and the bones and hyphae are pale. It stands to reason that it should be very conspicuous.
But he swept his gaze a few times, and couldn’t find where the walkie-talkie was.
Just then.
“Professor? What happened?! Talk back to Professor.”
A call with a “zizi” electric current sounded in the hole.
He followed the prestige.
I saw somewhere in the pale, a cluster of hyphae that seemed to be disturbed by the sound slowly stood up, floating in the air, and also revealing the intercom that was previously wrapped.
Professor Shao stumbled all the way, and his body was scratched with many wounds, especially his palms, and the walkie-talkie must not be stained with blood.
But at this time, the walkie-talkie is dazzlingly clean!
Professor Shao felt chaos in his mind, and he was staggering again. After all, this time he couldn’t stand still and collapsed to the ground. The rubble and sand dust fell on his face. He suddenly felt regret.
However, Pandora’s box has been opened, what is the use of regret?
Just as a stone was thrown into a deep pool, the stagnant water was full of waves.
Those hyphae lying between the corpses were centered on the walkie-talkie, and they floated one after another, as if ripples were swayed. The whole cave came alive in an instant, and the hyphae covered in the cave stretched out and felt cold. In the white light, in the stale air, shaking gently.
Look at it at a glance.
It is like a group of snakes with their heads “hissing” in a snake cave, and like nematodes swimming densely under the water…
boom!
There was a muffled sound.
It blocked the overflowing white light and also blocked Professor Shao’s fear.
He was stunned for a few seconds.
I was too busy to get the dust on my face.
It turned out that Li Changan raised the head of the **** statue to fill the hole, and he was relying on the **** head, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and gasping for breath.
“Little Li?”
“Stay back, there is corpse gas!”
After all, the Taoist priest no longer cares about him.
Just bit his finger and put blood as a charm on the forehead of the **** statue.
But just dropped the first pen.
Suddenly there was air flowing around, hovering in the hall with an indescribable smell and a creepy breath, making waves of whispers.
The collapse in the hall became more anxious, and large pieces of sculptures with statues painted on both sides peeled off, smashed on the ground and fell into dust.
And at the edge of the hole where the hole cannot be filled, a little white light oozes out, and countless nematode-like hyphae entangled with each other and squirmed and spread out.
Li Changan’s complexion remained unchanged, and he leaned up against the **** statue firmly.
The expression became more focused.
Even if the falling stone pierced his forehead, he didn’t see the slightest distraction.
Until the group of “nematodes” almost touch the body.
“No matter where you are, please lend me your divinity today!”
Quickly drop the last stroke with your fingertips.
“Eat!”
Suddenly.
The whispering in the air and the peeling and cracking sound on the wall suddenly subsided, the white light diminished, and the hyphae were reluctant to shrink back. Everything suddenly calmed down, except for the sound of the dark river surging in the distance.
Li Changan wiped away the blood that was about to flow into his eye sockets, turned around and pulled up Professor Shao.
“I don’t understand the secret mantra, but let me guess, the meaning of ‘Ah Ah Ke’ should be…”
The flashlight swept around.
The once exquisite and magnificent temple has become a cave in ruins, and even the ‘啖吔咦科’ has been scattered into a pile of rocks, with only the head embedded in the entrance of the cave. The blood talisman was painted on his hideous face, lining the ruins, inexplicably compassionate.
The Taoist priest gave a salute, then turned and strode away.
“Fengxie Town Demon.”
…………
Li Changan carried Professor Shao back to the ground.
Nothing happened along the way.
Just when I got out of the tunnel, I was suddenly staggered by the wind and rain.
Surprised and looked up.
The lead cloud is as low as the sea and the sky is hanging down, the wind is like gathering waves, and the torrential rain is like a raging wave, almost sweeping people unable to stand up.
After going back and forth, is the rain so heavy? !
Li Changan braved the wind and rain and took Professor Shao to a room next to him that was still intact. The rest of the archaeological team had been waiting for a long time.
They saw the two of them in a panic, and Professor Shao looked desperate.
Half surprise and half concern.
“What happened underground? What happened to the professor?”
The Taoist said the matter briefly.
“Most of it was smoked by the corpse gas, just take it easy.”
“Corpse?”
“Just treat it as biogas.”
Taoist priests didn’t intend to elaborate, and this is not the time for nonsense.
He entrusted Professor Shao to a few students, and asked them to return to the ancestral hall as soon as possible.
Everyone was taken aback.
What would he be distracted to do when it was so important?
Li Changan smiled.
“We are not the only living people in the village.”
…
Yesterday, when everyone made the decision to leave on foot, in addition to concerns about road risks, there was also a question that everyone knew but avoided: whether to bring the villagers.
From a moral point of view, it is shameful to leave the old and the weak to run for your own life.
But from the perspective of reality, who would dare to take seven centenarians who are like dead trees into the dangerous mountain roads that are bothered by wind and rain? More importantly, their own weird behavior makes it hard not to connect them with the weirdness of the village.
Everyone braved the wind and rain to leave, to escape the danger in the village, not to go on the road together with the danger!
But today.
Facts have proved that the ‘whew ye ke’ worshipped by the villagers is not an evil gangster, but a janitor who suppresses evil gangsters.
Then, as his followers, the villagers were somewhat free from doubt.
Moreover, because of Professor Shao’s ceremony, the evil things sealed in the ground have already escaped, and Li Changan’s temporary remedy can only be dealt with temporarily.
In this way, the village has changed from a gunpowder keg that may explode to a gunpowder keg that is about to explode. There is no doubt that those who remain will end up miserably!
Maybe taking the seven old people on the road would be cumbersome, or maybe their aging bodies could not withstand the wind and rain on the road.
But if you don’t try it, your conscience is distressed.
…
About half an hour later.
The residence of an old man.
Li Changan’s walkie-talkie rang.
“I’m here, why?”
A string of messy words rang out across the street, everyone was rushing to speak, everyone was speaking fast and anxiously, mixed with wind and rain, and could not hear anything, and could only feel the anger, anxiety and panic in the tone.
“Calm down, Brother Wang, come on.”
A little bit.
Wang Zhongmin suppressed his anger: “The car was smashed! Be careful on your side, it must be those old things!”
Li Changan was not in a hurry to reply, he put down the walkie-talkie and looked aside.
There was a skeleton lying there, complete and pale, just like the skeleton in the cave. It’s just that the bones in the cave are all dressed in gorgeous costumes, and there is only a set of whitewashed, old, old-fashioned clothes and pants, a set of clothes and pants that the villagers wear every day.
There were no traces of wind and rain on the surface of the bones, as if they were freshly baked, and there were no blood stains around the bones, or even a trace of blood.
This situation and situation.
It was as if the flesh and blood of the skeleton had its own consciousness, and left this body on its own, revealing absurdity and weirdness.
This half an hour.
Li Changan used the magic talisman to visit the residences of seven old people, and this was the seventh skeleton he saw.
He tightened his brows and looked up again.
The lead cloud is getting heavier, and the storm is getting worse.
The sky was dim as if it was night.
Can’t go.
