Chapter 174: Skeletons and Dried Corpses
The terrain of the Great Black Mountain is steep, the steep peaks stand in the distant sky, and the milky white mist floats in the canyon, giving people a sense of reality and illusion.
At this moment, it is the second half of the night, the air in the deep mountains is extremely cold, and in the sky, the hairy moon does not know when it is hidden in the dark clouds, which makes the whole big black mountain very dim, and the dark clouds seem to be pressed down, which is almost breathless.
"Looking at the sky, I'm afraid it's going to rain." I looked at the black clouds above me and said with a heavy face.
Liu Feng also looked up, and then said to me: "Before it rains, you have to find a place to camp quickly, in case it gets rained, it will be troublesome, without further ado, I will go to the front to explore the way to see if there is a suitable place to camp, you are responsible for protecting the safety of Fang Wei and Zhao Xiaoying." ”
"It's okay, you go and come back quickly." I nodded.
Zhao Xiaoying took a step forward, and said with a worried face: "Liu Feng, the mountain road is not easy to walk, you pay attention to safety." ”
"Don't worry."
Liu Feng patted Zhao Xiaoying's hand comfortingly, smiled, then turned his head and left quickly, and after a while, he disappeared into the dark night.
Soon after he left, I took Fang Wei and Zhao Xiaoying to continue walking, due to the cloudy sky, the light in front of me was extremely dim, almost unable to see the five fingers, if you accidentally step on the air, I am afraid that you will fall off the cliff and fall to pieces on the spot.
At this time, I couldn't help but think of Song Yang's little white face, and I didn't know if he would fall off the cliff and die if he ran down the mountain in the dark, or if he would be swallowed by various beasts in the deep mountains.
But people like him don't deserve pity at all, even if they fall to death or are eaten, it's just one less scum in the world.
The three of us walked for a while, and suddenly a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, followed by a loud bang, and the dripping rain fell, and then it became more and more urgent, and finally it began to rain heavily with the rumbling thunder.
"Oh, we're in trouble, if we can't find the camp, we'll be drenched in the rain." Zhao Xiaoying exclaimed.
Fang Wei wiped the rain from his face, frowned, and asked me with a slight groan: "Double happiness, otherwise let's camp in place, we can't keep it raining." ”
"Never." I immediately shook my head, stretched out my finger and pointed to the canyon next to me and said, "It's too dangerous to camp in this kind of place, and when it rains heavily, we will be washed off the cliff by the water, so let's go ahead and see." ”
In this way, the three of us walked for a while in the rain.
Suddenly, Liu Feng panted and turned back from the front, and said to me excitedly: "Double happiness, this time we finally have a place to stay, not far ahead, I have a room." ”
"Great, everyone finally doesn't have to get drenched in the rain." Zhao Xiaoying immediately cheered.
Fang Wei chuckled, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.
But after listening to Liu Feng's words, my first reaction was that something was wrong, how could there be a house in this wilderness?
Because the Great Black Mountain is sparsely populated, except for the dense primeval forest is a steep peak, which is not suitable for human survival at all, how can anyone build a house here.
I was worried, but now the rain is too heavy, I glanced at Fang Wei and Zhao Xiaoying, who were shivering from the cold, and said to Liu Feng: "You lead the way, let's go over and take a look and make plans." ”
Following Liu Feng forward for half a pillar of incense, through a bush, his vision suddenly brightened, and a hundred meters away in front of him, a room really appeared.
Although the distance is very far, but from a cold glance, this house is really not ordinary, the whole body is made of green bricks, the roof is paved with gray tiles, and the cornices are definitely not modern buildings.
There is no courtyard wall around the house, and the weeds and trees are overgrown outside, and it stands there alone, and before it comes to it, it gives people a sense of desolation that has been lifeless for a long time, obviously I don't know how many years it has been abandoned.
At this time, we were already drenched in soup, and we didn't care about thinking so much, so the four of us hurriedly quickened our pace and ran towards the house.
After pushing open the door, a burst of choking dust came to our faces, and when the dust cleared, the scene in front of us surprised a few of us.
In front of you is a large hall, simply furnished, with only two broken tables and stools, covered with many cobwebs, and against the wall on the left, three large coffins with red lacquer are suddenly neatly arranged.
These coffins are obviously a bit old, the red paint of the coffins is peeling off, revealing the rotten wood inside, and if you smell it carefully, you can still smell the smell of mold.
"Double happiness, what kind of place is this, why is there a coffin?" Liu Feng said in a trembling voice, and the legs that had been stepping in retracted again.
Fang Wei and Zhao Xiaoying were also startled when they saw the three big coffins coldly, all of them were pale, and they didn't dare to show their heads behind me.
"Liu Feng, you and I go first to investigate the situation, Fang Wei, Zhao Xiaoying, you two are waiting outside the door for the time being, and you are not allowed to come in without my order."
After I finished admonishing the second daughter, I took out the peachwood sword and stepped into the house first, Liu Feng gritted his teeth and followed closely.
The room was empty except for the tattered tables and chairs, but there was nothing to see, and I walked straight to the place where the three coffins were.
When I arrived, I stared slightly, and saw a white skeleton and a shriveled corpse snuggled next to the first coffin.
The skeleton was wearing a yellow robe, a straw hat on its head, and a gong hanging from its waist.
The dry corpse is dressed as a Qing Dynasty official, dressed in a green robe, embroidered with a white crane on his chest, with a small weft hat on his head, and a bunch of peacock feathers dragged behind the hat.
The posture between the two is also extremely strange, with the skeleton kneeling on one knee and holding a peachwood sword, which is inserted into the throat of the dried corpse.
And the dry corpse swooped downward, and the hands covered with sharp nails were deeply inserted into the skeleton's chest, impartially, in the heart position.
"It seems that these two people have fought fiercely in their lives, as if they killed each other, and I don't know what deep hatred the two of them have, and it is worth fighting so much." After Liu Feng watched this scene, he said with a shocked face.
"It's not what you think." I stretched out my hand and pointed to the first coffin, and said in a solemn tone: "Look carefully, the lid of this coffin is missing, there is no corpse in it, and there is a small yin gong hanging on the waist of the skeleton, indicating that his identity before his death was a corpse chaser, if my expectation is good, the Qing Dynasty official deceived the corpse and jumped out of the coffin, and the corpse chaser fought with it in order to subdue it, but unfortunately he was not good enough, and was pierced in the heart by the zombie, but he fought hard before he died, and also stabbed the peachwood sword into the zombie's throat." ”
"Stiff...... Corpse? I've only heard people say before, is there such a thing in the world? Liu Feng shrank his neck violently, swallowed and spitted at the mouth and asked.
