Chapter 217 The Hanged Man, Supporting the Sacrifice and Lowering the Head Rope
All these shocking changes happened too fast.
The country goddess who had just escaped from death was stared at by those tongue-pulling dead men, and her body returned uncontrollably.
Re-untie the noose around the neck of the dead man who had shed his golden cicada shell.
Plop.
The dead man's body fell into the river.
The country goddess picked up the noose with a dull expression and put it around her neck.
It's exactly the same as the previous scene.
Exactly the same.
But this time she didn't have the golden cicada to escape, and she was really going to die here.
And as the country goddess was recaptured, the ropes hanging up the dead man with his tongue pulled out rotated, and then he saw the body of the dead man with his tongue pulled out and the dying body of the country goddess, turning back to the body, with the rotten and empty eye sockets staring straight at the direction.
Outsider direction.
A dark wind suddenly rose in the corpse cave.
Sweeping towards Jin'an and others.
"It's not the corpses that are the problem!"
"There's something wrong with those slings!"
"Mom, those hanging ropes are also fuqi! They are one kind of fuqi, the head-lowering rope! They are specially used to lower the head and curse the living person!"
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he shouted again to be careful, we were too close, and we had already alerted the dead people who had their tongues pulled out and the ropes that lowered their heads...
But before the old Taoist priest finished his urgent shout, another powerful and overbearing, vigorous and thundering shout exploded in people's ears, deafening and deafening, and the awe-inspiring righteousness soared into the sky from this cave filled with corpses.
"court death!"
"Originally, I thought you were pitiful, being trapped in a corpse cave in the dark, unable to enter reincarnation, but you are resentful, dragging others into the water, and becoming your scapegoat. It is not a pity to die!"
"Five thunders of pure Yang! The dharma of heaven and earth! The thundering emperor in the east shook the sky, the thundering emperor in the south was shaken by the red sky, the thundering emperor in the west was the great dark Kunfu, the thundering emperor in the north turned the sky upside down, and the yellow sky in the center collapsed!
Five thunder evil slaying talisman, open! Kill evil!"
The situation is critical.
We have reached a critical moment.
At this time, Jin An had no time to worry about the consequences of using the Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman in the cave. He wanted to avoid the immediate disaster first.
Click!
Boom!
In this corpse cave filled with Yin Qi and corpse Qi, suddenly winds and clouds surged, and thunder pierced the night in the clear sky, tearing apart the gates of hell.
The sky thundered.
There was a huge explosion in the closed cave, which made people dizzy, made people feel dizzy, and made their chests feel tight and painful. The ground shook and large rocks fell down above their heads.
This was the loud sound of the explosion, which created an enhanced effect like a loudspeaker in the underground cave.
At the same time, in the dark cave, a sudden flash of lightning caused people to lose sleep instantly. When the eyes regained their vision, nothing could be seen, such as holding a stilt, lowering a head rope, or pulling out a dead man's tongue.
It was destroyed by ashes on the spot.
Only the crossbar that held the support for its head and body was struck by lightning and fell into several pieces, falling into the river.
The Great Dao Induction is coming.
But this time the feeling of the avenue was different.
It is different from the past one hundred yin virtues and one thousand yin virtues, it is more abundant.
Jin An took advantage of the moment when everyone else fell into a brief period of insomnia to cheer himself up. Because he had prepared in advance and closed his eyes in advance, he was not blinded for a short time by the strong light in the dark.
Yin De!
One thousand one thousand and three!
This is the first time that Jin An has gained 10,000 Yin De after exorcising an evil spirit alone.
That time in Wutou Village, the human-headed Gu king in the golden coffin was not included. The more than 10,000 yin virtues that time were given after killing the human-headed Gu queen and other human-headed Gu queens.
Strictly speaking, it was not given by a single head Gu king.
And this time.
He is real, and one evil spirit can gain ten thousand evil virtues.
After Jin An was overjoyed at first, he immediately frowned. He hadn't even finished walking through the Cave of Thousand Corpses. It was so difficult to deal with the second evil spirit after encountering it. Maybe the deeper the Cave of Thousand Corpses went, the more something would be there.
Greater danger is waiting for them.
And with this lightning strike, the Three-Edicted Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman that he had brought from Chang County and had performed countless feats for him finally passed away.
All the spirituality on the five thunder maps disappeared.
When the blinding effect disappeared, the old Taoist priest and Xiejian looked at the broken crossbar. The old Taoist priest was stunned.
He gave Jin An a thumbs up.
"As expected, it is the ultimate treasure given to the little brother by his sister-in-law!"
"Little brother!"
"You are so awesome!"
Cough, cough cough...
In the dust, there was an old coughing sound, interrupting the old Taoist priest who wanted to express more emotion, and it turned out that the country goddess was still alive.
She didn't die on the rappel.
The dying man survived.
She had just escaped, but now she was covering her neck with red marks with her hands, and fell on the raft, coughing continuously.
His lungs were struggling to breathe.
Seeing that the lonely and surly country goddess was able to survive in such a dangerous situation, the old Taoist priest muttered: "No wonder the country goddess used the fuss to invite ghosts and immortals just now. It turned out that she recognized this person early in the morning.
The head rope in the buttress."
"I am actually lucky enough to see a country goddess asking Fuji, ghosts and fairies to fight Fuji to lower her head rope once in my life. If I can walk out of the Cave of Thousand Corpses safely this time, it will be enough for me to brag to others for ten years."
"But you are still awesome, my little brother. Fortunately, you have a little brother to save you. What you do with the help of the ghosts and immortals, or the things you do with the help of the head rope to curse, are not as awesome as our little brothers."
Jin An: "..."
The magical fuqi ghosts and immortals fight with the fuqi lowering the head rope.
It rhymes so much.
This reminds Jin An of "Bisen vs. Sadako 1" and "Bisen vs. Sadako 2".
"What's wrong, little brother? Why are you staring at me?"
Jin An said it was nothing, then changed the subject and looked at the horizontal beam that had been broken into several pieces.
"Little brother, don't underestimate this crossbar. A crossbar that can bear the Yin Qi of the support rope is extraordinary in itself. This is called a dead man's beam. The most common dead man's beam among the people usually refers to someone who has hanged himself.
The old Taoist priest saw Jin An looking at the dead beam, so he explained to Jin An.
"If you want to determine how many people have been hanged on this dead man's beam, little brother, look at the marks on this dead man's beam. A black mark represents the residual resentment of a person who was hanged..."
"I checked, old man. These broken dead beams together have a total of forty-seven black marks of resentment. This means that this dead beam in front of us has hanged 67 people."
"It is unusual for so many people to be hanged from a single beam. Only in times of war and chaos, when bandits or foreigners massacred villages, could such a cruel thing happen, in which a whole village was forced to hang."
The old Taoist priest frowned as he talked, and finally he just sighed.
The old Taoist priest continued to look at the dead man's beam and continued: "Little brother, look at these black marks of resentment. There are two types: deep and shallow. The shallow ones are the most, there are forty-four, which should represent hanging outside.
The resentment left by the people.”
"And there are twenty-three dark ones. They should be the people who were killed by the curse of the head rope after the dead beam was moved to the Cave of Thousand Corpses. Therefore, the residual resentment and yin energy are naturally deeper. It represents
After this head rope was installed here by the owner of the tomb, a total of twenty-three people were killed."
What the old Taoist priest said was the valuable experience accumulated by the old Taoist priest for most of his life. Jin An listened carefully and did not interrupt the old Taoist priest to continue explaining.
But at this time, I don't know if it was shaken by the huge thunder just now, but the originally peaceful mountains of corpses in the corpse cave began to collapse.
At first it collapsed in a small area.
Several dead bodies rolled down.
But as the corpses of the dead rolled down, the mountain of corpses became unstable, causing an avalanche effect, and more and more corpses rolled down.
Plop! Plop! Plop
More and more corpses rolled into the river, and the atmosphere began to change strangely.
"No, we have disturbed the quiet corpse energy in the corpse cave. Run quickly, otherwise we will be buried alive under these mountains of corpses!"
The old Taoist priest didn't need to shout. Jin An, who had already noticed that something was wrong, had already jumped on the pole and ran away from the corpse cave.
Before running away.
He also didn't forget to rescue the country goddess who was still coughing in pain.
There is no grudge or grudge between the two parties.
There is no need to do everything to perfection.
When Jin An and the others escaped from the corpse cave, they could no longer hear the sound of corpses falling behind them because they were too far away.
At this time, the country goddess had gradually recovered from the pain of suffocation.
"Thank you so much for saving my life today. I owe my life to my benefactor."
The country goddess who had recovered suddenly knelt down to Jin An without any warning: "Old lady, although I am used to being alone and I know I have a bad temper, I still understand the principle of repaying kindness in return."
"Next, if there is any need for me to work hard for my life, I will let my benefactor do whatever I want. This is what I owe my benefactor."
The country goddess, who had always looked pale and weak because she had lost too much blood during the cicada's shelling, expressed her gratitude to Jin An. She changed her previous withdrawn and gloomy expression to a sincere and grateful expression on her face.
Jin An quickly went to help the country goddess up.
"If you really want to be grateful to me, don't kneel down and kowtow to me. You are not being grateful, you are killing my life."
Although Jin An saved someone's life, there is really no need to take credit and be arrogant. Let others kneel down and kowtow to you at every turn. That is the feudal thinking of the old society.
He also doesn't have the problem of mistreating others. He likes to belittle and trample on other people's personality. He makes others kneel and kowtow to him, and he feels like he is conquering others.
Those are all the poisonous feudal ideas of the old society.
He is a person who has received enlightenment education and does not care about these things.
"If you have any questions, let's wait until you have healed your injuries. Goddess, you have lost too much blood. What you need now is to clean and stabilize your injuries. Otherwise, in this Thousand Corpses Cave with heavy Yin Qi and cold air, the serious loss of Qi and blood will sooner or later be destroyed by this Thousand Corpses Cave.
The relentless and endless evil spirits are staring at me.”
"I can't let you kneel down in vain. This blood-enhancing and qi-enhancing pill is an ancestral craft of my family. It has a great effect on restoring qi and blood."
Jin An took out the porcelain bottle he carried with him, poured out a pill and handed it to the country goddess who looked pale and had lost too much blood.
This blood-enhancing and qi-enhancing pill was prepared by Jin'an for Xia Yinyi River this time, and it was a blood-enhancing and qi-enhancing medicine that had been sealed twice.
It is as effective as three hundred years of medicine.
Jin An saw that the country goddess opened her mouth to refuse, so he forced it into the hands of the country goddess and said forcefully without any refutation: "Save people to the end. You must first recover your energy and blood as soon as possible, and then talk about repaying the kindness and working for me with your life."
"If you don't have enough Qi and blood, the deeper you go into the Cave of Thousand Corpses, the more powerful the strange things and Yin Qi you encounter will become. What if your fleshy shell depleted of blood and Qi attracts sneak peeks?
The evil spirits have taken over us, and the people in the nest want to kill us. This is not repaying kindness, but repaying kindness with evil."
At this time, the old Taoist priest was also advising: "Sister, just accept my little brother's kindness."
"My little brother doesn't like people kneeling down on him. If you don't accept it today, he will probably not be able to sleep for several days because of your kneeling."
The deep wrinkles on the face of the country goddess, covered with the vicissitudes of time, made her even more moved.
"Thank you, benefactor."
The country goddess bowed deeply to Jin An. This was no longer a life-saving grace, but she was deeply impressed by Jin An's character.
Next, the country goddess began to sit cross-legged and swallowed a powerful medicine to nourish blood and strengthen energy to heal her injuries.
result.
The country goddess had just swallowed the powerful medicine to replenish blood and strengthen vitality, when her body was shaken and her eyes looked horrified.
Vigorous, rich life essence energy spreads all over her limbs and bones, the bone marrow produces blood, the internal organs burst into life, and the body functions are quickly restored.
There was a turmoil in her heart, and she looked at Jin An in incredible astonishment, with even more gratitude in her eyes.
She did not dare to delay and waste the effectiveness of the medicine, so she quickly closed her eyes to nurse her injuries back to health as soon as possible, so that she could repay Mr. Jin'an's life-saving grace during the rest of the journey.
Jin An carries the Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman, and anyone with evil intentions or plotting against him will not dare to look directly into his eyes.
The expression of gratitude in the eyes of the country goddess is not fake.
This is the reason why Jin An is willing to save the country goddess.
He still doesn't know how many people that group of antique dealers infiltrated into the Yinyi River, so he is trying to attract as many foreign aid as possible.
This Five Thunder Evil Killing Talisman is becoming more and more useful.
Powerful uses.
While the country goddess was concentrating on closing her eyes and healing her wounds, Jin'an was continuing to advance on the pole.
After passing through the Corpse Cave, there were no forks in the road for the rest of the journey.
There is only one waterway along the way.
Under and on both sides of these waterways, you can also see the bodies of drowned people who were washed into the depths and stranded from time to time.
But after passing through the corpse cave, there were not so many stranded corpses, and there was no mountain of corpses again.
As we go deeper into Qiancao Cave, the cliffs on both sides get higher and higher, like a natural chasm splitting the mountain. The top of the head is so far-reaching that you can't see the end, only black.
"It seems we have finally entered the heart of the mountain."
"The cliffs so high on both sides should be huge cracks deep in the heart of the mountain."
The old Taoist priest said with admiration, and kept shining the torch on both sides.
"Huh?"
"Little brother, look over there!"
The old Taoist priest, who was holding a torch to illuminate the cliffs on both sides, suddenly pointed in a direction and exclaimed.
A cave was dug out on a cliff. In the cliff cave was a badly rotted wooden coffin.
"There is actually a hanging coffin here."
The old Taoist priest looked at the hanging coffin above his head in surprise.
As the raft continued to drift forward, the number of hanging coffins seen on both sides of the cliff began to become more and more frequent.
until……
Boom!
The raft shook slightly and stopped moving forward. They finally walked out of the endless waterway and the raft finally docked.
