Chapter 49: Corpse Clothes
Densely packed corpse turtles quickly ran towards the three of us, some of the faster crawling ones could already touch Fatty or Old Hu, while some of the ones on both sides of the stone wall even fell directly onto us.
I had a bold idea, if I wasn't cornered, I wouldn't have thought so much. Looking at Fatty and Old Hu's bodies crawling a lot of corpse turtles, I was in the middle but well protected by them, gritted my teeth and said, "That dress on her is very odd, I think, as long as we can grab that dress, we will have no fear of these corpse turtles."
This is just a guess, when the female ghost first appeared in the water, at that time, even in the water, that piece of clothing was not soaked with water, and now, she also has a body, but the corpse turtles just don't dare to touch her, apart from that piece of clothing, I can't think of any other possibilities for the time being, but one thing is for sure, that clean white robe of hers is by no means simple.
"I top you! Old Hu, don't go and fight her yet." Fatty roared as he slapped the corpse turtle on his body.
Old Hu was also very busy, but looked at the female ghost not far away and said, "It seems like this is the only way, instead of being eaten by these bugs, I'd rather fight her!"
Now that Old Hu was the closest to the female ghost and had no major injuries on his body, I watched as Old Hu rushed towards the female ghost with great strides, not caring at all for the corpse turtles around him, and knew deep down that Old Hu did intend to fight for his life, and didn't give a damn even if his body was full of corpse turtles.
The female ghost is very afraid of me, but not afraid of the old Hu, see the old Hu rushed over, the corner of her mouth once again revealed a pompous smile, but her rotten to the deformation of the face so after a smile, a pile of rotting meat mixed with corpse water dripping down.
When Old Hu rushed over, the female ghost not only did not retreat back, but instead met Old Hu.
"Old Hu, catch!" Fatty turned back suddenly, looked at Old Hu, and threw the bottle in his hand over.
These two were not pro-Lao Hu, but they had always had a good relationship. Fatty's dashing posture was as if he was breaking up with his best brother, while Old Hu's righteous spirit of daring to die also made me admire him.
Old Hu was soon entangled by the female ghost's hair, he actually only ran halfway before the female ghost's hair brought him straight through.
I was very upset in my heart, after spending so much time with Fatty and Old Hu for so long, seeing that they were so desperate to protect me and carry out my words as if they were holy orders, but it turned out that I didn't have anything to contribute to them, my chest was stuffy for a while.
Against the corpse turtle, there was nothing I could do, but if Old Hu really listened to what I said and did it, only to end up being killed by the female ghost sucking up his yang qi, then I would never be able to forgive myself.
Then from the bag, I took out a bagua mirror, and then my left hand took out a piece of talisman paper, which was sandwiched between my index and middle finger, and lifted my left hand and shook it in the air a few times, "Open!"
Accompanied by a loud bang from me, the rune paper in my left hand floated out.
The talisman paper floated towards the female ghost, while Old Hu was also grabbed by the female ghost, she once again grew her mouth, her smelly cheeks sucking down on Old Hu's wrenched-open mouth in a big gulp.
I can't think carefully, the eight trigrams mirror in my hand shone horizontally, and the talisman paper that flew out was quickly ignited, then I grabbed the corpse turtle and threw it at the talisman paper.
The corpse turtle that flew out hit the talisman paper and made a rustling sound, along with the talisman paper, it flew to the female ghost's fluffy hair.
"Old Hu, spill the wine!" I yelled.
Old Hu, who had been grabbed by the female ghost, realized that he had experienced this once, and this time was not as mute as the last time, and after opening the bottle of wine in his hand, he haphazardly sprinkled it over to the female ghost's hair.
"Boom!"
At this moment, that long hair of the female ghost was instantly set ablaze.
The female ghost let out a miserable scream and hurriedly let go of Old Hu, I shouted at Old Hu, "Clothes, quickly take off your clothes!"
Old Hu understood and hurriedly stepped forward, in front of death, it seemed that there was not so much fear, and pulled at the female ghost's belt that was tied around her waist, and then his whole body waited on the stone wall for a few moments and climbed behind the female ghost, and kicked at the female ghost while his hands grabbed the female ghost's clothes.
The female ghost's entire body was instantly set on fire, and her entire body quickly lunged towards Fatty and I's side.
"I'll top you!"
Fatty behind me yelled out, at this time, not only him, even I was attacked by the corpse turtle, my feet were crawling with corpse turtles, while there were also many on my shoulders and back, a large number of corpse turtles were just biting at my body. Thankfully, after I was injured, Old Hu and Fatty helped me with bandages, and the frogman suit was very resilient.
Seeing a fireman pouncing over to this side, I was shocked and backed away while flinging the corpse turtle on my body off with my hands and feet.
Corpse turtles were obviously afraid of fire, and those that had been burned by the fireman quickly retreated backward, but unfortunately, the densely-packed corpse turtles were everywhere, and there was no way to dodge them.
I knew that I was finished!
Although I solved the female ghost, it was only a matter of time before I was devoured by the corpse turtles.
A large number of corpse turtles climbed up my body, I could only protect my face and neck, however it was to no avail, I could clearly feel the wounds on my body cracking, and my strength was fading a little.
"Don't be afraid, I'm coming!"
At this very moment, Old Hu was clad in a white robe, the whole person jumped over the female ghost that fell to the ground and burned into a ball, quickly leaning towards our side, I could clearly see the corpse turtles around me pulling out and fleeing, in a panic, although a lot of them fell onto me, they didn't linger for a second and hurriedly fled towards the other side.
Old Hu quickly ran over and used his clothes to cage Fatty and I. Although the robe was not wide, it still worked to hold it over the three of us.
There were too many corpse turtles on the surrounding stone wall, those close to us retreated backward, while those farther away from us wanted to rush, after a while of chaos, there were a large number of corpse turtles landed down.
Palm-sized turtle, a nothing, skillful after more, the three of us obviously some can not support, was densely falling turtle buried.
Good thing the robe is obviously a treasure, the turtle was forced to land on the white robe, after all rush to run away.
All around a restlessness, complex corpse turtle footsteps and chittering calls in a row, with the creaking sound more and more distant to completely disappeared, the three of us just climbed up from the ground.
I had many wounds on my body, my mobility was still limited, and Fatty was no better, his body had been bitten by the corpse turtle many times, he was the only one who fought against the tide of corpse turtles for the longest time, and his wounds were countless.
In order to avoid Fatty from being too deeply infected by the corpse poison into his body, Old Hu found out a straw to try to suck out the corpse poison with, but unfortunately, he and I gave way for half a day in the stone cracks, and we couldn't get the wrong position, so in the end, it had to be me to help suck out the corpse poison from Fatty's wounds.
"Half Immortal, I'm sorry!" Seeing me working hard to help him suck out the corpse poison, Fatty said with some embarrassment.
I gave him a blank look, then took out another bit of glutinous rice from my bag and applied it to the wound.
After simply packing up our things, the three of us did not rush to leave, a coffin has not yet seen, we have several times almost died.
I have the intention to retreat, not afraid of encountering what evil ghosts zombies, but for example, the corpse turtle these would have been very substantial danger.
"I propose to continue forward, originally we are dealing with Yin objects, it's hard to come in, just quit, I'm not willing." Old Hu saw my thoughts.
I was silent, he and Fatty were both grave robbers and didn't know how many times they had struggled in front of death. But I was different, I had just started out, and although I only had less than a year to live, I wanted to do more good deeds and accumulate some virtue.
Fatty and Old Hu didn't chase after me, leaving me in silence, I thought for a while and finally gritted my teeth, "Keep going!"
I admit, I backed up, but I don't dare to guarantee that I will be safe if I back up and return the same way, if Old Hu and Fatty really let me return alone, it's unlikely that I will be able to fight my way alive to the bank of the Zhanghe River, even if they are with me, without my frogman's suit and oxygen tank, and I don't know how to swim, I will easily drown.
"Oh, Half Immortal, good job!" Fatty patted my shoulder hard, and I glared at him through gritted teeth in pain.
Fatty smiled awkwardly and hurriedly led me to continue weaving through the stone crevice.
This stone crevice was very long, and we slowly walked for ten minutes before we reached the lens of the crevice.
Under the light of the miner's lamp, the fat man in front of us howled wolfishly, "Haha, I finally don't have to hold my breath anymore!"
Then, the three of us mid-count left the stone crevice and came to a more spacious place.
I used the mining lamp to shine around and surveyed the environment.
It was a large empty field, the entire empty field was about as big as two basketball courts, and the height of the entire cave was about ten meters high. On the opposite side of the stone crevice, there were two stone pillars, and under the pillars, there were two stone statues. And behind the stone pillars and stone sculptures, there were two huge stone doors, other than that, the surroundings were empty.
"No way! We've just arrived at the main entrance of Cao Piufu's tomb now?" Old Hu froze and said.
"It could be, the two of us have been robbing tombs for so long that we haven't walked through the main entrance in a long time." Fatty laughed out loud.
I asked in disbelief, "You guys don't use the front door to enter the tomb, so how did you rob the tomb?"
Fatty laughed a few times, then pulled out a Luoyang shovel from his backpack and said, "First use this thing to probe the hole, then dig directly, if you are lucky, you can dig directly to the chun chamber, if you are not lucky, you can dig to the side chamber, anyway, you did not go through the main door."
Hearing him say this, I kind of understand, they are grave robbers, and they are individually organized, not any archaeologists, not to mention the official personnel, so they can only go through the side door, even if there is really a main door to go through, they may not necessarily drive away.
"Let's go, let's go over there and take a look." Lao Hu finished speaking and walked head on.
"Wait!" I said hurriedly, "Something's not right here! Don't rush over first."
Old Hu and Fatty both looked at me in disbelief, but didn't go any further.
The female ghost in front utilized her hair and controlled some corpse turtles before summoning other corpse turtles and coming together to intercept the three of us, but I was puzzled, where did so many corpse turtles come from? And each one of them is the size of the palm of your hand, what is above the stone crevice although I do not know, but the sealing performance of this chamber is very good, the entire chamber is built structure, completely using a huge lapis lazuli stone slabs masonry.
In the stone crevice, so many corpse turtle most of them are rushed over from the front, but here there is nothing, how to say? They are also life, they also need food, and there are so many of them ......
At this time, I looked down at the ground under my feet and couldn't help but be shocked, "No wonder!"
Old Hu and Fatty also hurriedly looked at their feet.
The foot was not made of lapis lazuli, but gathered a large amount of white powder, these white powders were not very fine and soft like ordinary dust, I grabbed one and held it in my palm and looked at it, I couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat, "This is the powder that the bones of human beings have turned into."
"Oh!"
Fatty gave a gloomy cry, but acted coldly, I raised my head to look at him, he had a careless look, while Old Hu was also full of unconcern.
"Aren't you guys scared?" I asked weakly.
The two of them shook their heads.
It's no wonder, these two guys are the ones who often deal with these big dealings.
It's just that ......
After experiencing what happened in front of me, I understood one thing, this mausoleum is definitely not simple. So many corpse turtles were most likely raised by the corpses in this empty field, it's just that these white powders have obviously passed for many years, but why are those corpse turtles still alive?
Could this be a mass grave! Although the corpses above were weathered, there were still corpses underneath that had been pressed down and had not completely decayed, and only then could they satisfy the survival of so many corpse turtles.
