When I thought of this, I lost all sleep, and I couldn't help but be curious.
Should you go and take a look?
I struggled internally for a while, and finally decided to take a look quietly.
I glanced at Makiko who was sleeping soundly, and without waking him up, I quietly slipped out of the cave and walked in the direction of the sound of the gong.
The mountain road was rugged, but fortunately the moonlight was bright and the gongs sounded very regularly.
A quarter of an hour later, I arrived at a relatively flat place with tombstones erected everywhere.
I secretly thought that this place is not far from Qingyadong and should be the cemetery of Qingyadong.
Under the moonlight, a man in black is holding a gong and beating it regularly.
Every time you come to a tombstone, you have to knock it twice.
I quietly sneaked closer, chose a grave, lowered my body, hid on the edge, and stared nervously at the man in black.
The man in black is still some distance away, and his aura cannot be sensed for the time being.
My whole body was extremely nervous, and I even tried my best to control my breathing.
If he is Mayunfeng, he may have silver snake poison on him, so he must be extra careful.
I watched it for a while and felt a little baffled.
The man in black would stop in front of each grave and then beat the gong vigorously, which felt like summoning a dead body.
The temperature was frighteningly low and the wind was biting. In this kind of climate and light, a man in black beating a gong on a grave was really eerie and strange.
Could it be that there is someone who has just died here, and if they hear the sound of sinister gongs, their bodies will jump out.
Then I thought about it, the Yin Gong can control the walking corpse, but ordinary dead people cannot understand the sound of the Yin Gong without being made by a corpse exorcist.
It's really weird.
Suddenly, the man in black turned his head and looked towards me.
Under the darkness, it was impossible to see his facial features clearly, but he did look towards me.
I quickly lowered my body and held my breath.
Fortunately, after a while, the man in black turned his head again and started moving towards other graves.
Just as I lowered my head, I discovered that the tombstone on the grave in front of me clearly read "Tomb of late husband Mayunfeng", and the person who erected the monument was none other than "Bai Yu'e".
Under the moonlight, the bold letters on the tombstone were peeling off, and there was dry moss at the bottom of the tombstone.
All this proves that the tombstone has been erected for some time.
I couldn't help but get excited, and my head was a little confused.
Is Ma Yunfeng dead or alive?
If he faked his death, did he even hide it from his wife, or did Bai Yu'e help him put on the show?
Just as I was deep in thought, the man in black came towards me.
I had no choice but to keep retreating along the ravine in the tomb.
Finally, the man in black stopped at May Yunfeng's grave. He stopped banging the gong and laughed: "It's here. I didn't expect it to be in your old man's coffin."
I finally realized that the man in black's target tonight was May Yunfeng's grave.
From this point of view, the man in black should not be Ma Yunfeng.
So, who is the man in black?
At this moment, the place where I am hiding is less than seven or eight meters away from the man in black, and he will notice me at any time.
However, I can also see his appearance clearly through the moonlight.
His face was very pale, as if he had applied heavy foundation.
Then, the smell of corpses came over instantly.
I felt more and more paradoxical that he was not a living person.
When I think of this, I shudder in my heart.
I even saw clearly that he was wearing a black shroud.
This kind of clothing is specially prepared for the dead in this area. Bats are embroidered on the sleeves to express the blessing after death.
I broke out in a cold sweat and my breathing became rapid.
To be honest, I am very familiar with voodoo, poisonous insects, and medicinal herbs. However, I still know very little about things like yin and yang undead deceiving corpses. This is an area I rarely come into contact with.
When I saw the strange man in black shroud in front of me, he said he was not afraid that it was a lie.
The word "fraud" flashed in my mind.
That is to say, although the man in the black shroud died, the corpse jumped out of the coffin.
I couldn't help but tremble, my right hand was already on my right leg, and I could pull out the knife at any time.
If he finds me and attacks me, I will fight him with all my life.
An even more sinister scene appeared.
The man in black took off a small shovel and shoveled away the snow on Mayunfeng's grave.
Then, he knocked down a bamboo tube, and during the whole process, he kept chanting the formula.
It's a formula I've never heard before.
Soon, the bamboo tube sank into the soil.
I listened for a while and finally determined that he was not here to dig graves, but to steal Gu insects.
This kind of formula is used to find and control the poison. The bamboo tube is driven into the grave to draw out the poison hidden in the coffin.
He wanted to find the poison from Mayunfeng's grave.
This means that there are Gu insects used for burial in Mayunfeng's tomb.
Or maybe there is an extremely powerful poisonous insect under this tomb.
I took a breath of air.
Suddenly, torches lit up in the distance and noisy sounds came.
It was the people from Qingyadong who discovered it and were running quickly along a road going down the mountain.
Judging from the number of torches, there were quite a few people coming.
The man in black stopped moving, looked towards me, chuckled strangely, and his eyes were particularly sinister.
I thought badly, he would have discovered me long ago.
He threw away everything on his body and ran towards the west.
I didn't have time to think too much, so I turned around and ran in the other direction. As soon as I ran into the forest, the people from Qingyadong would catch up with me.
After running a few steps, I stopped.
Once I run away, the people from Qingyadong will follow the footprints I left, track them to Huangdong, and capture Maxiko.
Anyway, I'm not here to steal anything. I'm aboveboard and there's no need to run away.
I stepped back and sat beside Mayunfeng's grave.
"Here, here." Someone shouted loudly.
The men who came from Qingyadong were all agile men, and they quickly surrounded me.
I said calmly: "It's not me, I just came here to have a look. If it were really me, would I sit here and wait for you?"
"Boy, you knew you couldn't run away, so you used this method." A middle-aged man said coldly, with a very sinister look in his eyes.
The crowd surrounded me, and they all looked fierce.
At this time, an old woman came over carrying a bamboo bag.
Under the light of the torch, the old woman's face was covered with wrinkles, like the bark of an old tree, and her mouth was open with no teeth.
The scary thing is that all ten fingers on her hands are black.
The tip of my heart trembled.
These are the fingers that have been affected by poisonous insects for many years.
This old woman is really not to be underestimated.
Everyone looked at the old woman with great respect.
"If you dig someone's grave, you will deserve to die." The old woman spoke.
"Misunderstood. I came here to collect insects. I heard the sound of the gong and came here to check. If I did something bad, why should I stay? The real thief ran away to the west. Go and chase him.
." I shouted loudly.
I reached out again, pulled out the dagger hidden in my leg, and threw it on the ground.
Facing so many strong men, there is no need to use force.
"Grandma, this kid wants to dig grandpa's grave." A strong man said.
