Chapter 107: Guarding the coffin
"Brother Jiannan, it's not good to open the coffin haphazardly, why don't we wait until we observe it clearly." Qin Frost proposed.
Qin Frost's proposal had no problem, it was indeed not good to open the coffin haphazardly, sometimes disturbing the soul in the coffin was forcing the Yin Soul to come out of the coffin to make trouble, opening the coffin to scare the soul was exactly this reason.
Ye Jiannan slightly hesitated, the heart has some understanding, he still decided to open the coffin, at least to verify is to raise the corpse or raise the soul, if it is to raise the corpse, is not a serious problem, there is an old saying, "three years to raise ghosts, a hundred years to raise the corpse," this sentence is enough to illustrate the raising of corpses is how difficult it is.
Corpses, the general evolution of the process is complex and long, usually what we call zombies, divided into six levels, the first level is the "white stiff", the body into the corpse, January after the body began to grow long furry white hair, this kind of zombie slow action, very easy to deal with, it is extremely afraid of sunlight, but also afraid of fire and fear of water, afraid of chickens, afraid of dogs and even more afraid of people.
The second level is "black stiff", white stiff if full of cattle and sheep blood, a few years after the body off white hair, replaced by a few inches long black hair, at this time is still afraid of sunlight and fire, action is also slower, but not afraid of chickens and dogs, generally speaking, black stiff see people will avoid, but also do not dare to fight directly with people, often in the sleep of the people before sucking human blood (black stiff) Together with the white stiffs, they are called "black and white stiffs". Tens of thousands of cases of 'unknown blood-sucking creatures' attacking livestock have been reported in villages and farms all over the world, and some people even believe that 'savages' are black stiffs).
The third level is "jumping corpse", the black stiffs will absorb blood for several decades, the black hair will be removed, the action will start to jump mainly, the jumping step will be faster and farther, they are afraid of sunlight, not afraid of people and not afraid of any livestock (usually the dogs can bark again, once they meet the 'black stiffs' or 'jumping corpses'). (Normally, even the dog can bark, once encountered 'black stiff' or 'jumping corpse' will not bark, but the cat will bark coldly when it sees the zombie).
The fourth level of "flying corpse", from the jumping corpse to the evolution of the moon and Yin Yin, flying corpse is often more than a hundred years or even a few hundred years of zombies, agile, leaping from the house to the tree, jumping like a fly, sucking the essence of the spirit without leaving traumas.
The fifth level of zombie has been close to the devil, named "drought demon", also known as "drought demon" "fire drought demon" "dry drought demon", flying corpse Absorption of hundreds of years after the spirit, the more hideous appearance, can be described as green fangs munching Rakshasa, but also can change the appearance of the body to confuse the crowd, on the dragon can slay the drought under the sky can extradite the plague God, the dry days of the plague from this (in ancient times, the plague, if the spread of drought accompanied by drought, the people will be firmly believe that the drought demon is at fault).
The last level is also the most terrible zombie, it should be said that it is no longer a "corpse", but the king of the devil, named "Hao", with the horror of the power to fight with the gods, thousands of years or even 10,000 years of Taoism, Yuan Mei, "renewed Zi Bu Bu Shi" even more cloud zombies may become Hao: "Changzhou Jiang Mingfu said: Buddha rode the lion, elephant, people know; Buddha rode the hiking, people do not know, hiking is a zombie changed." After the zombie corpse, it will emit a strange wail, three leaps and jumps, transformed into a beast and go. Therefore, it may be said: the corpse first change the drought demon, and then change that is for the hiking. Haha have magical powers, mouth smoke and fire, can fight with the dragon, so the Buddha ride to suppress it.
It can be seen that if a person is raising a corpse, the body has an aggressive time, at least a hundred years of flying corpses. Even if the artificial provide zombies the best free-range environment, it is estimated that at least eighty to ninety years time to evolve!
Therefore, Ye Jiannan concluded that in this coffin, nine times out of ten, what was raised was not a corpse, but a ghost.
Before opening the coffin, Ye Jiannan took out a handful of evil-suppressing talismans, one by one pasted on the coffin's surroundings, in order to be safe, let Qin Frost back to the ground, in the kitchen to find a bag of glutinous rice, if the zombie appeared, it will be used to kill the glutinous rice.
Glutinous rice, belonging to the positive things, against the ghosts do not work, but if it is a zombie, it's another story, because the ghosts are fast, generally do not give you the opportunity to splash with glutinous rice, and zombies in the flying corpses class, but also substantial physical presence, glutinous rice to fight, but it is also the best magic weapon!
Ye Jiannan two people in the coffin's surroundings, sprinkled enough glutinous rice, especially in the road to the outside, the ground spread a layer, this is also in case, if a flying corpse, there will be enough opportunity to escape.
After doing this, the two of them began to open the coffin, Qin Shuang, after all, a girl family, has always stood beside Ye Jiannan, Ye Jiannan used a shovel to pry open the coffin, good thing there are no big nails on it!
"Bam ~" that big coffin was pried open, the lid fell to the ground!
Under the yin and yang eyes, a thick wisp of smoke was seen drifting out, and Ye Jiannan hurriedly pulled Qin Shuang backward to escape.
"Corpse Qi!" As Ye Jiannan spoke, he took out a mixture of Xiong Huang and Cinnabar from his backpack and sent some to Qin Frost, "Swallow it and you'll be fine!"
The two each swallowed a handful of the powdered substance, choking and shedding tears, but it was not possible not to swallow it, the corpse gas was poisonous, once hit by the corpse poison, if the poisonous gas invaded the five viscera and six bowels, they would die within three days! Next, in order to dispel the corpse gas on the body, hit the powdered substance on the body.
After doing this, Ye Jiannan dared to approach the coffin once again, he carefully came to the side of the coffin, under the yin and yang eyes, saw a body lying in it, this is a female corpse, naked, surrounded by a lot of arrangement of things to raise the corpse, this body is well preserved, and just died almost.
Ye Jiannan's eyes flickered, staring at a copper coin on top of his head, his brows immediately wrinkled.
Seeing that there was no movement in the coffin, Qin Shuang gradually approached, but when she saw a naked, naked female corpse, her face flushed scarlet and she hastily backed away.
Ye Jiannan observed the female corpse and realized that there were no white hairs, black hairs, which meant that this zombie was either a nurturing ghost possessed being, or it was a jumping zombie or a flying zombie.
Only, these were not the focus of Ye Jiannan's attention, the copper coin above his head reminded him of a formation.
Ye Jiannan took a deep breath, with a shovel will be next to the small coffin open, in the moment of opening, he retreated several steps, fixed eyes, this coffin, sitting in a child, the child's eyes bulging, as if just swallowed his breath, the appearance is very oozing.
With Qin Shuang's many years of seeing ghosts, he was also scared and shivered for a while, and couldn't help but sigh, "What a bizarre form of burial!"
After determining that neither of the two zombies showed signs of resurrection, Ye Jiannan vigilantly came to the side of the small coffin, squatted down, and took a closer look.
In the small coffin, the child sitting on the end was about seven or eight years old, carrying a thin rope tied to the lower part of the coffin!
"Brother Jiannan, what have you found?" Qin Shuang approached Ye Jiannan and asked.
"Look, this child was installed alive in the coffin before he was cut off, from the construction of the coffin, this child should be a coffin guard, in ancient times, this kind of burial accompaniment was very common …… " Ye Jiannan explained.
The so-called coffin guarding, is to bury the living alive with the living, after the death of the living, the resentment is very big, there are magicians to blind the eyes of the ghosts accompanying the burial, will guard the soul in the main coffin, become a loyal guardian spirit, this kind of burial, in contemporary times basically has been extinct, but how can I not expect to see this weird grave situation under the ground of the Tang family.
"Then this female corpse should be someone of great status, at least a generation of the Tang Family's mistress, right?" Qin Shuang speculated.
"Not necessarily, perhaps there are even weirder tomb games in this tomb game amongst them, let's go, don't touch the tomb game for the time being while everything is still unknown!" Ye Jiannan said, and turned around to leave.
But right at this moment, Qin Shuang shocked, "Quickly look, child, that child ……"
Ye Jiannan turned around and saw the seated child, his body began to tremble, getting stronger and stronger, even driving the tiny coffin to shake.
"Quickly run, the coffin guard is going to be alive~!" Ye Jiannan roared, at the same time, grabbed Qin Frost's hand, ran, he did not have much confidence that he could exterminate the zombie, especially this kind of grievances of the zombie, and also do not know the moral character, if they really encountered the flying zombie, afraid of fleeing are too late.
Qin Shuang followed Ye Jiannan, running all the way, the two just more than ten seconds, they drilled out of the hole in the ground, but in the moment they drilled out of the hole in the ground, see the sky is already dark, the head of the moon star sparse, it is already late at night.
"How could this happen?" Qin Shuang looked at Ye Jiannan in shock.
"Crap, as soon as we entered the lower level, we were mesmerized by ghosts, we've been in the cave for at least ten hours!" Ye Jiannan understood what had happened in a flash.
"Uh…… Brother Jiannan, did you hear that?" Qin Shuang suddenly pressed tightly against Ye Jiannan's body.
Ye Jiannan had already heard it, and he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"Cluck cluck cluck ……"
"Giggle giggle ……"
All around, there was the sound of children's laughter, that laughter was languid and weird, seemingly around, but a thousand miles away in general.
Ye Jiannan mahogany sword immediately into the hand, looking at the Tang family ancient mansion, a moment, he found that the ancient mansion changed its appearance, completely is a ruined house!
"Could it be that Tang Siqi ……" Ye Jiannan thought of this, his gaze was cold, the mahogany sword opened, drew a large circle on the ground, in which a cross was drawn, followed by the reading of the body protection incantation: "Heaven protects the body, the earth protects the body, the twelve stars and lodges protect my body ……"
Qin Shuang did not hesitate, when Ye Jiannan had just finished drawing the circle, she finished the protective incantation in advance, at this time, she opened her eyes, and saw that the two of them were standing in the middle of a piece of rubble, not only the bottom of their feet, but even the whole compound, it was all in a state of disarray.
"Brother Jiannan, what's going on?" Qin Shuang was in a hurry now, since her debut, this was the first time she had seen something so bizarre.
Ye Jiannan took a deep breath, forced down the astonishment in his heart, and carefully looked around again.
"Cackle …… cackle …… cackle …… cackle ……"
"Cackle …… cackle …… cackle ……"
A kind of repetitive mechanical sound, a kind of laughter sound of a small child, intermingled together, indistinguishable from each other.
Ye Jiannan followed the sound in one of the directions and saw that a hundred meters away, a scene that seemed familiar had appeared, a woman, wearing a white dress, pushing the autumn, which slowly swung up, on which gradually appeared a small child, laughter, mechanical sounds, the very sound of the child, as well as the cackling sound of the autumn in the process of swinging back.
"Where is Xia Mo?" Ye Jiannan suddenly remembered Xia Mo, looking towards the main room, a ruin, among the ruins, the same scene appeared, a woman pushed the autumn, on which sat a small child, the autumn was swaying and swinging ……
