Volume 1, Ghost Town of the Bone Forest_Chapter 32, Fighting Monsters (2)

The bead grabbed the stranger by the neck from behind, and jumped up with both feet and coiled around the stranger's body. That's why its sharp teeth can't bite me. I gripped the bone dagger tightly with one hand, and the other around the stranger's arm, and the stranger screamed like crazy. His dark eyes kept rolling, and strange saliva was coming out of his mouth.

"Kill him!"

The bead shouted, and I was about to stab it through the chest, but the strange man roared wildly, and the terrible force that could throw the fat man out was unleashed, and both me and the bead were thrown out at the same time. I slammed the floor, my chest was tight, and I couldn't even breathe for a while.

The strange man staggered backwards a few times, first being pierced in the chest by a beaded steel needle, and then being attacked by the fat man and me in succession, looking as if he was injured and somewhat unsteady on his feet.

It slowly bent down, its roar turned into a low moan, and it slowly pulled out its bone dagger, and through the terrible wounds, it could see the flesh and blood in its body as if it were rotting.

"Vomit...... ...... vomit"

It breathed hard as it retreated towards the door of the meditation room.

The weirdo is finally scared!

I tried to hold myself up, but my back hurt so badly that the fat man gasped and walked up to me with a shovel in his hand, protecting me behind me.

"Don't let it run!"

Zhuzi shouted, but it was too late, the strange man pushed open the door of the meditation room and rushed out, and the fat man did not dare to chase him out, and waited until the strange man disappeared in front of me for a while before I and Brother Zhuzi got up from the ground.

"Fatty, don't you know how to fight? Get it! ”

Brother Zhuzi muttered a little dissatisfied, and the fat man said with a bitter face: "I am also not good at learning, and now I have to set up an altar on my upper body to worship my ancestor." ”

"It's useless!"

It's no wonder that the beads curse, the three of us all took the guy but still didn't get this weird person, it's really embarrassing to say it. I leaned against the wall and picked up the bone dagger on the ground and walked slowly into the courtyard.

There was no trace of the strange man, and he thought he should have hid at the bottom of the well, and the dead dog he had just seen was also brought into the well with him, and there were obvious blood stains extending from the mouth of the well.

"It escaped, what should it do?"

The fat man asked.

"We can't let it get back to life, let's go down and kill it!"

The bead's words seem a little radical, it is pitch black under the well, we go down to discredit the war, the flashlight is not used at all, and the monster fights in the dark, isn't that looking for death?

I stood aside, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to find out what this weirdo is." ”

This has always bothered me, saying that it is human, that is, it is similar in appearance, but neither the monster-like power, nor the skin and organs are normal. Said it was a monster, but I couldn't find any clues about it in "Strange Tales of the Mountains".

Where it came from is a mystery to me. And it seems to me that if you don't know exactly what it is, you can't know its weaknesses, and it's the same as hunting, not knowing the habits of the prey may end up dying in the mouth of the prey.

Seeing that I was reluctant to go straight to the tiger's den, Zhuzi was naturally a little displeased, but he couldn't do it by himself. I simply sat next to him, lit a cigarette, and I leaned over and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, could this guy be a zombie?" ”

Zhu flicked the cigarette ash, muttered for a moment, and then said, "It's very similar, but it's not!" ”

"Aren't all zombies jumping on and off? Xiaoshan, don't guess. ”

The fat man muttered beside him.

"You're bullshit, who the fuck told you that zombies will only jump, I've watched too many of your tapes!"

The bead scolded, and the fat man shrank his head a little embarrassed.

"The kind of zombies you see in the tape are all controlled by the corpse chaser, and they jump when the bell shakes. In the deep mountains and old forests, as long as there are dead things, they may become zombies, especially earth beasts, because some earth beasts are smart and have aura, so they will also be corpses after death. But it's not the same thing we just made. It doesn't have corpse gas on it, and if it did, my two thunderstone needles would have broken it a long time ago. ”

The two steel needles that the beads just used are called thunderstone needles. It is said that it is made of a stone with a special magnetic force after being struck by lightning, and it contains a weak electric power, so it can be used as a magic instrument if it is opened by a master.

"My pair of thunder stone needles have been blessed by the Dharma King in Tibet, and ordinary ghosts will disappear when they encounter them. But you look at the fact that I just stuck it in the weirdo's chest, and it didn't react much, so it's certainly not a zombie. ”

Bead shook his head and said.

"Then it can't be human, right?"

The fat man nervously asked, if the other party is a human, then how can we start? Even if he has a nervous disorder, we can't kill him!

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be human, my thunderstone reacts to it, don't you see obvious burn marks on it? It shows that the yin qi in this guy's body is quite heavy, and as for what it is, I really can't say. ”

The beads don't know, so I'm a little confused with the fat man. After thinking about it, I suddenly remembered a strange scar on the back of the strange man I had seen earlier.

"I seem to see a scar on the back of the strange man's neck, which looks like a brand."

I crouched on the ground, took a rock, and drew the shape of the scar from my memory. It's just that I don't have a talent for drawing, so the patterns I draw look weird and twisted.

In my impression, the mark was first a circle with a pattern similar to the character "δΈ­" in the middle, but the sides of the character "δΈ­" were concave inward. I didn't see the specifics.

But unexpectedly, after seeing the beads, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he grabbed my hand and hurriedly asked, "Xiaoshan, are you right?" ”

I was also a little nervous, nodded and said, "I should be right, of course I just glanced at it." ”

"Fuck, we're going to bump into the 'king' this time!"

This is a colloquial phrase of Zhuzi, who uses the big and small kings in the playing cards to describe the difficulty of things. He said that "king" means that weirdos are very difficult to do.

"But it's also an opportunity to make a fortune! Oh no, this time we can make a huge amount of money! ”

Zhuzi's preface didn't match the afterword, and said that it was a big difficulty, but then he said that he could make money, which made me and the fat man a little stunned.

Seeing that the two of us were looking at him strangely, Zhu Zi hurriedly explained: "I saw this pattern once three years ago. At that time, I was doing a business in Changsha, and I met a few colleagues who said that there was something new to see me, so I followed. At that time, there was a ruthless character named Wu Dong in Changsha, and he could handle both black and white. He hired a group of experts in the industry to explore an ancient tomb and dug up a few treasures, which are said to be from the Han Dynasty. I followed a few friends to see it, and each one was worth at least six figures. At that time, it was sold to a foreign collector, and I saw it as a hot eye! ”

Hearing this, the fat man asked strangely, "What does that have to do with this pattern?" ”

"Don't interrupt." Zhu Zi took a puff of cigarette and continued, "At that time, in addition to a few treasures unearthed, they actually dug up a coffin and unearthed it because of the request of a foreign collector! ”

I've heard a lot of quirks in foreigners, but I didn't expect that there are still people who like corpses. At that time, I heard that foreign mummies were very valuable, but I didn't expect that even Chinese coffins were wanted!

"I still remember that coffin to this day, it was particularly luxurious, with seven emeralds on the coffin plate, arranged in the manner of the Big Dipper. There is a slip of gold paper on the side of the coffin, even though it has been buried deep in the ground for many years, but the lights are still shining after being unearthed. The design of the whole coffin is also quite elegant, and the appearance looks like a big bird with wings spreading. At that time, this coffin alone was worth the money of the old nose. ”

The fat man and I were so confused that we didn't dare to interject, so the beads snuffed out the cigarette butt and continued: "When we opened the coffin, there was a corpse that had been dried long ago, but the most valuable thing was what the corpse had in its mouth. After death, the valve must be sealed, that is, the mouth, eyes, nose, ears, and of course, the eyes. In order to ensure that the internal qi of the corpse does not leak out, especially in the mouth, it must be a good thing! However, it wasn't jade that was used to seal the corpse's mouth at that time, guess what? ”

The fat man and I hurriedly shook our heads, where could we guess.

Zhu Zi smiled and said, "It's a stone plaque!" This plaque is engraved with a pattern that is 60% similar to the one you draw! ”
