The moment the black energy rushed in, I immediately reacted and shouted: "There is black energy coming."
Long Youshui stood up like a spring.
Grandma stretched out her hand to warn us not to panic, and said with a smile: "It's okay. It seems that you don't need to carry me up the mountain. The person who took me up the mountain has already arrived."
Grandma's eyes flashed with sadness, and she soon smiled again.
I suddenly understood and blurted out: "It's the evil thing coming from Peach Blossom Cave."
The black air covered the doors and windows, and the light of white snow outside was completely shrouded in darkness.
The room was instantly enveloped in suffocation.
"I won't break my promise. Go into the yard and wait." Grandma shouted.
The black air receded in response.
I quickly rushed to the door and opened it.
Standing in the yard was a man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat. The bamboo hat was covered with some white snow, and his whole body was covered with a layer of black mist.
The light was limited and it was impossible to see his facial features clearly. The light shone through, leaving a long figure behind.
It's good to have a shadow, at least it's not a ghost or a sinister one.
The cold wind blew, and I smelled a faint corpse smell from a distance.
"No, why is there a corpse smell?" I said nervously.
I have seen the Cave God, and he has no corpse smell or body.
Could it be that the visitor has corpse bugs on him?
If there are corpse bugs, then he is a dead person, will he be a walking corpse?
Many thoughts flashed through my mind.
"It's the insect corpse. Put me in the sarcophagus, quickly!" Grandma shouted with all her strength.
Guarding insect corpses?
I was stunned and tried my best to recall the contents of the Secret Records of Witchcraft and Gu.
There was mention of keeping insect corpses in it.
Some people raise zombies specifically to protect the insects they raise. This kind of insect-guarding zombies are much more powerful than simple jumping zombies like walking zombies.
However, I have lived in western Hunan for sixteen years and have never seen an insect corpse.
I gasped and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that someone had raised a zombie corpse?
"Is it the insect corpse guarding the soil eggs in Peach Blossom Cave? I don't want it to take you away, can I return the soil eggs to him?" I asked quickly.
"Shut up! Ahem..." Grandma shouted hard.
I found that my grandma's eyes instantly dimmed, her face turned horribly white, and her vitality was almost exhausted in an instant.
Then, grandma's body fell to the side quickly like a kite with its string broken.
I quickly turned back and held her up.
"Dongsheng, send me into the sarcophagus. It is the insect guardian corpse that lives in Peach Blossom Cave, and it is also the insect guardian corpse of our Gu doctor lineage. It will also take you up the mountain when you die."
Grandma looked at me with some urgency and held me tightly with a pair of old hands.
I didn't dare to go against my grandmother's wishes, so I gritted my teeth and picked her up.
Long Youshui saw my swaying steps and also helped me.
"Youshui, after all, you are Dongsheng's uncle. From now on, you should pay more attention to your worldliness... don't let the thieves frame him with their tricks." Grandma said.
Long Youshui's eyes filled with tears, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Auntie, I know."
We came out from the side door of the bamboo house and soon arrived at the hut.
The sarcophagus remained inside, and I never expected that it would become my grandma's thousand-year house.
Long Youshui pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus, and as quickly as possible, placed five coffin-pressing copper coins inside, and then placed a bamboo pillow inside.
I put grandma into the sarcophagus.
"My poor Miaoyun, my cub, my sweet baby. You have been sleeping here for sixteen years. How miserable, how cold, and a vicious thief who has killed you with a thousand cuts."
Grandma touched the inside of the sarcophagus with her hands, and tears rolled down her face.
Immediately, a very vicious look struck her eyes, and she said to me: "Dongsheng, take revenge, take revenge for your mother, you have to live, take revenge for your mother, take revenge!"
"revenge!"
I gritted my teeth and nodded: "I will take revenge. I swear to you that if you can't take revenge, insects will gnaw at your heart and your orifices will bleed."
For some reason, I watched my grandma sleeping in the sarcophagus, my head was buzzing, but no tears came out.
Grandma glanced at Long Youshui, but finally said nothing and slowly closed her eyes.
Long Youshui said: "Auntie, don't worry, I will take good care of Dongsheng."
I didn't cry, I just said to myself: "Grandma, have a good sleep. Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I will wake you up for breakfast, and I will take you to see an opera."
Long Youshui sighed.
I sat on the edge blankly, as if my soul had left my body.
Long Youshui tied a piece of white cloth on top of my head.
Dong Dong.
The knock on the door of the wooden house rang again.
The corpse guard stood at the door of the hut, breathing black air, and the fishy smell kept coming.
I looked up at him.
He was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, and he looked very thin.
His face and exposed skin were covered with extremely fine black hair. This kind of black hair is the hair that grows after becoming a zombie.
His eyes were glowing green.
It suddenly occurred to me that I was in Peach Blossom Cave some time ago.
When grandma entered the Peach Blossom Cave, her eyes turned green and her tone of voice was the same as that of the corpse guard.
Maybe the corpse of the insect guard was in the dark when we entered the cave.
"Come as promised, it's time to welcome her to the mountain."
He said mechanically, as if there was a soul living in his body that did not belong to this body.
"Dave God, you evil creature! Are you going to take my grandma away?"
I firmly grasped the edge of the sarcophagus and shouted, "My grandma just fell asleep. Even if she is dead, I will search for herbs from hundreds of thousands of mountains to bring her back to life."
Long Youshui respectfully said to Shou Chongzhi: "Please wait a moment."
"Dongsheng, don't be like this. He is here to pick up your grandmother. This is her fate." Long Youshui used his strength to untie my hands holding the sarcophagus.
"This is a fate that cannot be changed."
"You have to listen to grandma. Don't forget, the Gu doctor lineage needs to abide by the rule of serving insects with one's body."
Long Youshui kept persuading me, and the power in his hands became stronger.
Since returning from Heihuazhai, the five poisonous insects in my body have attacked me several times, and I was bitten by five poisonous insects in the medicine mountain. My physical condition has been in poor condition.
Long Youshui finally broke open my hand and pulled me aside.
The corpse guard waved his hand and saw four rickety Yin ghosts walking behind him. On each Yin ghost, there was a green mantis Gu.
The ghosts worked together to lift the sarcophagus and walked outside.
The zombie guard kept standing at the door, looking at me with his green eyes.
I feel like he is watching to see when I will die.
My heart trembled and I shouted with all my strength: "If I die, you must come on time. Don't let me become someone else's puppet."
"I am not a bad person. Only on the day I avenge your mother can I go and worship your grandmother."
