Nervous toughness - for humans, it is an excellent quality. But for those who are very timid and have such a light horoscope that they may encounter ghosts at any time, this is not a good thing.
Because then you have to face fear personally at all times, and there is no way to use loss of consciousness as a means of escape and self-protection.
This is what Xiaoxia is like at this time. If she could faint, she would not be so scared and nauseated. However, the more frightened she became, the more awake she became. Many thoughts and a series of questions that she had not paid special attention to were also running in her mind. emerge.
What's going on? Who is this rotting corpse? Why was his grave dug up? Who did it? Why did that 'old man' lead her here? Why don't those strange footprints dare to come here?
She has only studied forensic science, but not forensic medicine, so she cannot tell how long he has been dead from the appearance of the body. She could only see that he was a man. His body had completely decomposed, but not to the extent that only bones were left, so the appearance was quite disgusting and terrifying.
Because Xiaoxia fell from a relatively high position, Xiaoxia could see his upper body clearly even if he was sitting in the coffin. Half of his face is rotten, and his facial features are all blurred. Especially the eye holes that are rotten and have no eyeballs are very scary. No matter what angle you look at, you feel like he is staring at you, leaving you with nowhere to escape!
The clothes he was wearing were not the shrouds used in Han funeral customs, but the ordinary clothes of local ethnic minorities. It seemed that he was buried in a hurry and without special preparations.
The clothes are those kind of small jackets with folded fronts. The color can no longer be distinguished clearly, and the front placket is stretched open. Xiao Xia guessed that it was because the corpse's belly was filled with air and the clothes were tight, so it was stretched open. But she didn't understand why the belly of the rotten corpse also exploded. Discolored things that couldn't be distinguished from muscles or internal organs were turned outwards. Maggots crawled everywhere, emitting a disgusting stench.
Xiaoxia suppressed the feeling of vomiting and forced herself to calm down. She had heard stories about corpses that were moved by the wind. In that critical state where corpses were about to be lifted up, the slightest movement would startle them!
The only bloodwood sword that could protect her was thrown by the pit the moment she fell into it. Now she is directly facing this unavoidable accident!
So she stared closely at the rotting corpse sitting in the coffin not far away, fearing that it would move in some way. But she couldn't just stay here, she had to find a way to leave, otherwise if it was really dead, she would have to wait for death in this pit!
Thinking like this, she began to stand up slowly with very light movements, trying not to make any noise. However, in the dawn of this silent mountain forest, every slight movement she made could make a loud noise, which made her He was so nervous that his heart almost stopped beating. While slowing down his movements, he continued to observe the situation on the other side of the coffin.
Fortunately, he didn't move. This gave Xiaoxia the courage to start looking for a place to climb up.
On closer inspection, I discovered that the pit was not shallow, it was as high as two people, and the coffin was deeper. At her feet were flowers that had been uprooted. They looked extremely beautiful. In the surrounding soil, there were still some plants whose roots had not been pulled out. They were just hanging there, as if they were about to hang up at any time. The color of the loess is quite new, and it looks like someone dug the grave newly, maybe a few hours ago at night!
She tried to take a step, and there was a sharp pain in her ankle, reminding her that she had been injured when she fell into this deep pit. But at this time, the pain was a secondary feeling to her, and the fear and uneasiness were the most disturbing feelings. She couldn't stand it.
She saw a **** ahead. Although it was farther from the ground, the **** was relatively steep and could be climbed. But it was too close to the coffin, and you almost had to stand next to the corpse to do it. This made her hesitate for a moment, but she finally decided to take a chance.
The closer she got to the coffin, the more hairy she became, always feeling like the rotting corpse inside was about to jump out, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that he was smiling at her, and even twisted his neck to stare at her depending on her position. she.
Standing next to the coffin, she looked at the rotting corpse for a while, then gritted her teeth and turned around, trying her best to ignore the numb and cold feeling on her back, and climbed up on her hands and feet!
She knew clearly that she couldn't fall down, because it was a big pit. The place where she just fell seemed to be specially used to pile up those beautiful and weird plants, but this side was very narrow, with only one coffin. If she slid down halfway up, she would definitely fall into the coffin and have close contact with the rotting corpse.
But it looks easy, but climbing up is not so easy. Her right foot didn't use any strength, and there was nothing to touch on the dirt wall. She just pushed **** the potholes, grabbing the dirt and remaining plant roots with both hands, clinging to the dirt **** like a gecko, sliding three times in one step. The ground is hard and upward.
Two minutes felt like hours to Xiaoxia. The desire to return to the top and the fear of being attacked behind her made her extremely nervous, so her physical strength was extremely exhausted. It was so short. It feels like I can't hold on any longer.
At this time, a protruding plant rhizome appeared in front of her. In surprise, she tried her best to grab it and used her legs to try to use this 'life-saving straw' to climb to the top. However, as soon as she kicked off, she suddenly I feel like my feet are caught by something!
It's the rotten corpse that's pulling her! He doesn't want her to leave!
She thought in horror, struggling desperately to get away, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not shake off the pull on her feet. And as soon as she struggled, the only 'life-saving straw' in her hand came loose!
Stop! do not move! do not move!
She was stunned and kept reminding herself.
The grass hung there so fragilely, and the grip below was so strong. As long as she moved, the grass could no longer bear her weight, and she would fall immediately.
It was the uninjured foot that was being dragged. She had no choice but to bear the pain and try her best to bear some of the weight of her body with her injured foot. With one hand, she held on to the grass that could be pulled out at any time, and with the other hand, she scraped hard. She lived on the soil layer, although the sharp stones and various debris in the soil caused her hands to bleed.
She was motionless, lying close to the soil like a gecko, not even daring to look back. Fortunately, the pulling force did not move downwards any further, so now she was half hanging there, unable to get up. I can't get out, I just pray that the grass will not loosen again, and then wait for a miracle to happen.
"Ruan Zhan——" In despair, she whispered his name. Whenever she is in danger, she always likes to think of him, which makes her feel particularly safe.
A hand appeared in front of her and suddenly held her wrist. She screamed and tried to struggle, but she only felt her body rising into the air, the grip on her feet disappeared, and she was immediately pulled to the ground.
Suddenly she stepped on solid ground, and the stinging pain from her injured foot made her fall forward again. In that familiar and warm embrace, the consciousness that she had not lost even in the extreme panic was because of this. Declare surrender for safety reasons!
………………
Ruan Zhan hugged Xiaoxia quietly for a while, and felt a sense of peace in this desolate cemetery. However, this rare time did not last long. He immediately realized that daybreak was approaching and the corpse could not be seen. to daylight. So I had to put Xiaoxia aside gently, cast a spell to burn those alluring flowers, and let the rotting corpse automatically lie flat in the coffin, and then bury it again.
He dug this grave. In fact, he dug three graves in one night!
Because there was no progress in the investigation of Huang Boheng, the violent death of the three brothers in Naman Village a few months ago attracted his attention. The three brothers died in a very strange way. No one knows how the three brothers died. The villagers believe that an unjust ghost took their lives or that unfilial people were punished by the gods. But in Ruan Zhan's opinion, this incident must be related to the strange things that happened in the city, so he decided to dig the grave in the middle of the night!
According to what Xiao Xia said, in several cases at the "Yingshou" Legal Aid Office, the deceased also died in strange ways. Plants that moved on their own appeared in the cemetery of the deceased and at the crime scene, as if they were alive. And how did this plant appear in the cemetery? If it was planted in the corpse like a poison, why would it not be eliminated after cremation?
Xiaoxia also saw a strange black cat in the office, and Guan Zheng also killed a cat, and then Guan Zheng was killed. When they were attacked in the wild shop, a black cat appeared, and there were moving plants pretending to be zombies!
To sum up, when these strange things happen, there are black cats and moving plants!
Wan Li was bewitched, and nine out of ten other dead people were also bewitched. And since he came here, he realized what a powerful Gu master they were facing. He can use voodoo to control ghosts, plants, and animals (the black cat was probably the one who was bewitched by him), and he also cast such a vicious death voodoo on Wan Li.
He did not think that this was because they came to investigate the details of their opponents. You must know that using so many methods and poisoning them would also cause harm to the caster himself. Unless there is a very strong hatred, otherwise Won't do that.
But why is this? Could it be that 'Yang Muyou' is stirring up trouble again? Maybe he is also from here, or has a major origin?
There is also a key figure-Huang Boheng.
Although no one recognized his photo, this doesn't mean anything. He is so rich that he can definitely have plastic surgery. He had a feeling that Huang Boheng must have a close relationship with this place.
These confusing clues made him puzzled, so he had to start from the most basic level. He wanted to find out whether the deaths of the three brothers were consistent with the cases in the city. If the answer was yes, then he was sure that the answer would be found in the mountains and forests.
Of course, there's that weirdo!
So he came here in the middle of the night to do those immoral things of digging graves and disturbing the dead. And when he arrived here, he found that there were three tombs covered with beautiful flowers, so he knew where the tombs of the three brothers were without even looking at the tombstones. And as expected, these three people all died from the Gu technique. Although he was not very familiar with this technique, he could still tell it from the appearance of death.
The other flowers are the same as the ones Xiaoxia investigated in the city case, they are poppies. Poppies are beautiful, but they are cremated in cities. Although the seeds that have been treated with special magic do not die in the high temperature of cremation, they are not as good as before, so they only grow branches and die as soon as they are removed from the soil.
Here, these flowers grow in the corpse, and then take root in the soil. They grow so luxuriantly that the grave must be dug very large to destroy their roots, and the talisman fire must be used to completely eliminate them.
While he was doing these things, his heart became aware of Xiaoxia's danger.
