marry a ghost

To be honest, upon seeing the feng shui of this ancient tomb, Wei Shi didn't want to go in rashly.

As soon as I got to the entrance of the cave, I could feel a gloomy moisture coming out of it, as if all the water vapor in the air had condensed, sticky, damp, and icy cold, and it was freezing cold outside, as if only Frozen to the skin and flesh, and the coldness of this cave is cold to the bone.

The keeper walked back and forth at the entrance of the cave a few times, Wei Shi looked at him nervously, the old man didn't intend to just go in like this, did he?The back of Wei Shi's head kept getting cold, and he felt that he should think long-term and at least do some preparatory work first. If he encountered any danger when he went in, the corpse breeder might have no problem protecting himself, but he was empty-handed—all those "properties" were raised The corpse was thrown away.

However, the cadaver obviously did not intend to take risks lightly.

After walking around for a few laps, the corpse keeper's face, which probably had necrotic facial nerves, twitched a few times. Then, he turned his head and said in a cold and hoarse voice, "Go down the mountain first, and go to the village."

The "village" mentioned by the mortician is the few families at the foot of the mountain.

This is a small village deep in the dense forest, in the valley. Seven or eight houses are scattered in the woods. From a distance, it seems to be quite artistic. When you look closely, you can see the poverty of this village. The houses It is a dilapidated wooden house, the roof is not the usual tiles, but the thick bark that has been cut off one by one, and there is a string of ice skates of different lengths under the eaves.

The village was very quiet.

Wei Shi remembered that before going down the mountain, he could still see some blue smoke from cooking. Obviously, there should be someone in the village, but now every house is closed, and there is no common cock and dog barking in the countryside. The tomb guard who suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly People, maybe people in this village.

The keeper took a look at Wei Shi.

Wei Shi understood what he meant, walked up to a house, and knocked a few times on the rotten wooden door, but no one answered. , Wei Shi put his hand down, and spread his hands at the mortician, meaning that there was nothing he could do.

The mortician didn't speak.

Wei Shi had no choice but to turn around and continue knocking on the door, knocking harder and louder.

"Bang bang" can be heard throughout the village.

Finally, under Wei Shi's unremitting efforts, there was a sound behind the door, and a slow footstep sounded draggingly. The door creaked open, shaking, as if it was about to collapse. Behind the door was an old man, Old, wrinkled face, cloudy eyeballs rolled up, is a blind man.

The blind old man stood at the door, "Which one are you looking for? Knocking on the door is like calling out souls."

Wei Shi approached the blind old man with a smile all over his face, "We've walked the mountain road for half a day, and we're going to Zhoujia'ao, and I want to rest in your house, fellow townsman, can you help me?"

The blind old man touched the door, raised his head and looked up to the sky.

Wei Shi knew what he meant at a glance, "Of course, I won't let you out of the way, fellow."

Now the society is no longer the same as before. It is not impossible to think of being entertained in the house of a fellow villager, but compared to before, the possibility is much smaller. Even in the deep mountains, others are also To eat is not.Wei Shi expressed his understanding of the blind old man's behavior of asking for money, and he paid the money very readily.The clothes on his body were half dry, and the blood in his veins seemed to be frozen. He desperately wanted to find a warm place, preferably a place with a stove, to have a good roast.

There are only two rooms in the front and back of this house, and the entrance is a stove room (that is, the kitchen). There is a dark stove with a fire burning. The blind old man should have been sitting behind the stove to warm up the fire just now. A wooden bed with a bed of rotten cotton wool on it. There was an unidentifiable musty or stinky smell coming from it. The light in the room was a rare oil lamp. To smell this smell, it should be used. tung oil.

The room behind was so dark that it was impossible to see what it was like inside.

This home is truly bare-bones.

Didn't make any fakes.

The blind old man sat by the fire, probably for the sake of Qian, and he greeted us weakly, "Sit down."

There are only two wooden chairs in this room.

The blind old man took a share, and the cadaver took a share as well. Of course, Wei Shi and Ding Maoshu were too embarrassed to argue with him, who was already in his seventies and eighties, so they had to stand. Zi Zi, his face was still a little blue, Wei Shi knew that he had probably never seen such a poor and smelly place.

Wei Shi leaned in front of the fire to warm up, and threw a few thick logs into it.

The flames, which were sleepy at first and couldn't get any energy up, immediately burned red and vigorous.

Wei Shi put his hands on the flames and roasted them, and white air rose from his whole body. He sighed comfortably, and his hands and feet, which were already frozen to wood, began to feel a slight tingling pain.The room was silent except for the crackling of firewood.The blind old man was sitting in the innermost part of the stove, his head hanging down as if he had fallen asleep.But the corpse raiser seemed to be a little afraid of fire, so he sat a little far away from the stove.

Wei Shi didn't let Wei Xin into the house.

There is an open fire in this room, and the corpse is yin, so it's better not to get close to it.

Another reason is that he always feels that there is something strange in this room, that is, his ability is not enough, and he can't see what's wrong. Just in case, he still has to save it.

After a while, the clothes were almost dry.

The cadaver finally moved.

His movements were extremely fast, he didn't look like a person of his age at all, or should I say he didn't look like a normal person at all. He only saw a black shadow flash past, and the corpse keeper who was originally outside the stove suddenly appeared in front of him. He reached the innermost part of the stove, grabbed the blind old man's neck with dry wood-like hands, and lifted him into the air. The blind old man, who was a little shorter than the mortician, kicked his legs in patched black cotton trousers indiscriminately. , just can't reach the cadaver.

Wei Shi took a closer look, only to find that the lower body of the mortician was lifted up by a corpse buried in the soil.

The blind old man made a ho-ho sound from his throat, and white foam came out from the corner of his mouth.

The mortician pinched the blind old man unconscious, and then threw him to the corpse that hugged his lower body just now. The corpse crawled out of the soil and hugged the blind old man again like a child. The man turned his head and said slowly, "Let's go."

So Wei Shi and Ding Maoshu left the warm fire and walked out of the house.

This time, after reaching the entrance of the ancient tomb, the corpse breeder lowered his head and got in without any hesitation.At the entrance of the ancient tomb is a narrow hole 1.3 meters high and half a meter wide. People who enter have to bow their heads and bow their waists.Wei Shi followed behind the corpse breeder, and entered the ancient tomb second.

In his hand, he held the oil lamp that came out of the blind old man's house. The dim light flickered on and off in the dark cave. The cave was obviously dug out by hand, and there were still some traces of construction on the cave wall, which was uneven, obviously under construction. His people are not very particular, which is a bit inconsistent with what Wei Shi thought at the beginning.

According to Ding Maoshu, this ancient tomb has a long history, and the burial objects inside are even richer. If this is the case, at least we should do a good job of saving face. Looking at the roughness of the cave wall, Wei Shi thought that When I arrived at the randomly dug cellar in my home - this cellar was dug by myself in a week when he was in the sixth grade of elementary school.

The further you go into the cave, the more spacious it becomes. After walking for a minute, you can straighten your waist and walk two or three people side by side. It is very humid inside, the cave walls are wet, and the ground is even muddy. The soles of his feet slipped and fell, and at a critical moment, he grabbed Wei Xin who had walked to his side at some point, and stopped firmly.

Wei Shi patted Wei Xin's wrinkled clothes.

The oil lamp he held in his hand shook, and after the flames flickered twice, it went out.

Suddenly, the cave was plunged into oppressive darkness.

The sound of footsteps before and after stopped immediately, and Wei Shi quickly said, "Wait a minute, I'll find a lighter." He fumbled in his pocket, and bumped into the cold hand of Wei Xin standing next to him several times. In his panic, he didn't know whether it was his own hand that touched Wei Xin by waving indiscriminately—or Wei Xin's hand reached out and was touched by his hand.

Finally, Wei Shi found the lighter in his jacket pocket.

There was a hole in the pocket at some point, and the lighter slipped through the hole into the lining, no wonder it didn't touch it for a long time, Wei Shi tried several times with his cold fingers, and finally lit the lighter, Dou Da The flames lit up a small space around it.

At the moment when the flames lit up, Wei Shi glanced over and choked on his throat with a scream of fright. What exactly is something?

On the originally empty cave wall, pottery urns were embedded one after another.

There are human heads on the pottery urns.

These heads are new and old. The oldest one has been turned into a white bone with a skull resting on the mouth of the urn, while the latest one seems to have been buried not long ago. Some white maggots are on the rotten head. Crawling around in the flesh is creepy.Suddenly, Wei Shi heard a bang, and a mouse came out of the mouth of a half-rotten human head. The mouse was startled by the light of the oil lamp, and the movement was a little louder. Most of the head fell out of the mouth of the urn. The messy long hair didn't fall to the ground.The corpse in this clay urn is a woman.

These dark brown pottery urns are about half the height of a person, with a small mouth and a big belly, decorated with some patterns. Wei Shi just glanced at them in a hurry, and felt that a group of people worshiped and sacrificed around a high platform, singing and dancing. The thing that was caught seemed to be the pottery urns in front of him, and a person had already sat in the pottery urn in the pattern, and that person raised his head and looked at the sky—was he still alive when he entered the pottery urn? !

Is it a life sacrifice?
