Chapter 1421 A Ghost Army Lives Here!
The place to stay is the fortress of entering the capital, where visitors come like clouds all year round.
Liu Wei and others found the best inn in town to stay temporarily. There were many businessmen from other places in the inn, who were also waiting for the rain to stop and headed to the capital.
People from all over the world gathered together and chatted with each other in a lively manner.
Liu Wei and others looked old and young, well-dressed and polite. The rough guys didn't even talk to them. But just when Yun wanted to help Chou Chou change his clothes, he went downstairs and saw Liu Wei. Men's clothing, led by Yun Chu and Yun Mi, has already mingled with the foot merchants and tourists downstairs.
Yun Xiang was quite depressed and moved closer to listen.
I heard a reckless man dancing and talking about some anecdote. "It was so dark that night. It had never been so dark all year long. The third watch clock had just sounded. I was still thinking about going to the watchman and walking with him to strengthen my courage. But when I turned around, I saw that the whole street was full of people. There is no watchman, but that's not right. I clearly heard it louder from the end of the street. I don't believe in evil, so I have to leave.
Looking over, this is incredible. Guess what I saw? "
Yun Chu moved forward and asked with great interest, "What did you see?"
The rude man glanced at the little girl, waved his hands and said, "Sir, please don't interrupt, little girl."
Yun Chu's face turned red with anger, and Yun Mi pushed her sister away and approached her and asked, "What exactly did you see? Uncle, please don't show off."
The mangy man pressed down mysteriously, deliberately suppressing his voice for a while, and then said: "I saw it, a pair of legs!"
"Legs?" Yun Mi didn't understand: "What's wrong with seeing legs? Who doesn't have legs?"
"That's right, these legs are all grown on the human body, but those legs are standing in the middle of the road, but there is no body above them!"
As soon as he was shocked, the whole lobby exploded, and the idle guests who were listening began to whisper, but Yun Mi snorted and said: "I thought you were talking about some weird story, but it turned out to be this, with only legs and no body. ?Then it must be because it’s too dark and you saw it wrong. Could it be that you also saw ghosts?”
"Oh, little kid, you can't talk nonsense." Another old man next to him suddenly took off the big pipe pot from his mouth, knocked on the table and said: "Old hags like to eat babies like you who don't believe in ghosts. , you are not afraid of offending the ghosts and demons, I will seek your life tonight!"
Yun Mi was completely bored when he heard this: "You just tell lies in broad daylight. I don't believe there are real ghosts in this world."
The old man pointed at him and said: "I don't know if there are ghosts in other places. We do have a group of ghost soldiers living in Mingyue Town. I think you are a baby with thin skin and tender flesh. If you talk nonsense, I'm afraid I really want to recruit ghost soldiers."
Yun Mi squinted his eyes: "What are ghost soldiers?"
The old man sneered, knocked out the ash from the tobacco pot, straightened his posture, and spoke in detail. It turns out that Mingyue Town was not a small town thirty years ago, but a mass grave. From the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, corpses were everywhere. One day, a newlywed bride ran into the mountain. Originally an embroiderer from a nearby town, she was betrayed by her gambling father who asked her to marry someone over fifty.
However, the butcher was not someone to be trifled with. He immediately summoned dozens of relatives and friends and chased her all the way, forcing Xiu Niang into a mass burial mountain.
Is Mass Burial Mountain a good place to walk? The mountain was full of ghosts, and from a distance, there were still ghost fires on the top of the mountain. When the butcher and his party chased in, they did not see the embroiderer, but they bumped into a corpse. If you want to ask what a corpse is, you have heard that the coffin stands facing the moon. , the legend of nine days of becoming a ghost?
After a person dies, the coffin is placed in a vertical position, with half buried in the loess and half exposed above the ground. This means "neither yin nor yang". Then the head of the coffin is pointed in the direction of the moon and exposed to sufficient moonlight for nine days. Yin is not yang, it becomes half yin and half yang.
Nine days later, neither human nor ghost, neither life nor death, the corpse ghost came into being. Unlike the ordinary ghost, which is invisible to human eyes, it is more greedy than the ordinary ghost. Every full moon day, the corpse ghost will appear. He will come out of the coffin and devour the living person closest to him.
The ghoul had eaten Xiu Niang who had fled into the mountains before. He was in high spirits when the butcher and his party bumped into him again. The ghoul had a good time. After daybreak, the people in the town went into the mountain to look for him, but only saw Some severed hands and feet, and half of the butcher’s head covered in fishy insects.
When the old man said this, he found that he had been surrounded by people on three levels inside and three outside. He was a little proud and was about to follow up.
A crisp childish voice suddenly asked: "Why half a head?"
The old man glanced at the child and said nonchalantly: "Of course the corpse ate half of it and left half of it."
The child frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "Is that the half that was cut off, or the half that was bitten open?"
The old man frowned and felt that this question was a bit over the top: "It's about biting, you just opened your mouth and ate half of the head. Why do you have so many questions?" The child said with a straight face: "The human skull is very hard. The skull of a living person is harder than the skull of a dead person. Because calcium is lost after death, the bones will become softer. Since the butcher's head was bitten open alive, there is a premise that the teeth of the corpse are harder than those of the dead. His skull is even harder, and his teeth are hard, but that does not mean that his gums are also hard. In other words, if a corpse gnaws on a skull, his teeth may be able to withstand the force, but the gums may not be able to support it enough, old uncle, what do you think? However, the corpse climbed out of the coffin. Since he lives in the coffin, it means that his size and life
It was the same as before. Before his body size increased and swelled into a monster, why were his gum load-bearing capacity and the size of his mouth opening higher than that of a normal human being of the same size? Old uncle, are you really sure that the butcher's head was bitten open? "
The old man looked at the child blankly for a long time. He was so angry that he gasped. He pointed with his hand and asked, "Whose child is causing trouble in my place without taking care of it?"
Seeing this, Liu Wei had to pull her son back who was still trying to argue, and lowered his voice and said to him: "We are telling a story, just listen to it, why are you interrupting?" Xiao Li pouted unhappily and talked to her mother. He muttered: "The old uncle is lying. I often go to mass graves in the middle of the night and have never seen a ghoul. Think about it, if a ghoul can really bite a person's head open, this will explain the difference in his bones between life and death." Very big, how interesting it would be if I met
When it arrives, I must take him back to study, test his hormone response, and see how he managed to improve his physique so significantly after his body's functions stagnated after death. "
Liu Wei didn't know what to say, so she nodded her son's forehead and said, "They are all fake. They are just for fun. How can they be taken seriously?"
Xiao Li pouted her lips, said nothing, and directly retracted into her mother's arms. The old man saw that the boy was no longer causing trouble, so he finally continued: "There is a ghoul on Burial Mountain. This is a big deal. A squire in the town immediately raised money to hire a Taoist priest to exorcise the devil, but the ghoul was really fierce. After eating three Taoist priests and two monks alive, in the end, a group of imperial troops came. The soldiers used the royal dragon energy to protect themselves and went into the mountains to look for ghosts. They fought for three days, but they were no match for the ferocity of the drought ghost. Both sides suffered a quarrel, and both sides suffered losses. A whole team of the king's army was killed on the mountain. But who knows, the king's army could not defeat the ghoul in life, but after death, their souls turned into ghosts and turned into Yin soldiers, beating the ghost to death. He said that he will guard the Mass Burial Mountain from now on. It is precisely because of the protection of this ghost army that our Mingyue Town was able to be built. Do you think there are ghosts in this world?"
