Suddenly, a man came out from the depths of the woods.
Ye Qiu was shocked because this man was not a zombie, but a living person.
He had been here for so long, but he didn’t find anyone else here. It can be seen that this guy who suddenly appeared was not simple.
Ye Qiu took a closer look.
He found that the guy was a skinny old man.
The old man was wearing a loose black Taoist robe, holding a pair of copper bells strung together with a red rope in his left hand, and a triangular apricot yellow flag in his right hand.
On the apricot yellow flag, various strange runes were painted with cinnabar.
The old man’s skinny face was painted with white and red oil paint, and the whole person was full of gloomy atmosphere.
At this time, Lao Xiang and the others also saw the old man who suddenly appeared.
“Director, who is he?” Fu Yanjie asked in a low voice.
Ye Qiu shook his head and said he didn’t know.
“Village Chief Ge, is this old man from your village?” Fu Yanjie asked Ge Dazhuang again.
“He is not from our village.” Ge Dazhuang said: “I have never seen this person.”
Then who is he?
Everyone had the same question in their hearts.
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes moved around the old man in black, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared between her eyebrows. Then, she glanced at Ye Qiu’s back, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
“Who are you?” Ye Qiu couldn’t help asking the old man in black.
The old man didn’t say anything, and shook his left hand gently.
“Ding-dong–“
The copper bell rang.
“This is”
Ye Qiu reacted instantly. Before Chen Laosan broke out of the coffin, there was such a sound in the wind.
At that time, Lao Xiang asked everyone if they heard the sound of the wind chime, but no one heard it except Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu didn’t care at that time, thinking it was just the sound of the wind chime. Now it seems that the previous sound was not from the wind chime, but from the pair of copper bells in the old man’s hand.
Not only that, when he was fighting with these zombies just now, he also heard a very light sound of copper bells.
“Who are you? Why are you here?” Ye Qiu asked again.
The old man still didn’t speak, and shook the copper bell gently. In an instant, the sound of “ding-dong ding-dong” echoed again in the woods.
A child’s laughter also sounded:
“Hehe”
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a child jumping out of the woods, about five or six years old, with delicate features and a clean school uniform.
“That’s the child of the Meng family.”
Ge Dazhuang said tremblingly.
After the Meng family child walked in front of the old man in black, he jumped and sat on the old man’s shoulder, then looked at Ge Dazhuang and laughed “hehe”.
The old man in black waved the triangular apricot yellow flag in his hand, and Chen Laosan and other zombies roared.
“Ah——”
It was like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
The group of zombies stared at Ye Qiu and others with empty eyes, and the murderous aura on their faces was even heavier at this time.
Ye Qiu clenched the scalpel, his eyes always fixed on the old man in black, and asked again: “Who are you?”
The old man in black seemed to have heard Ye Qiu’s words only at this time. He grinned, revealing a row of neat yellow teeth, and said: “I am Xiangxi Old Ghost.”
Xiangxi Old Ghost?
Ye Qiu was stunned. It was the first time he heard this name.
“Director, maybe I know where he came from.”
Su Xiaoxiao said timidly.
Ye Qiu turned around in a hurry, only to see Su Xiaoxiao’s frightened expression, and asked hurriedly: “Do you know?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said: “I have seen many horror movies, and his dress is very much like a corpse-carrying person in Xiangxi.”
“Ha ha, this little girl is quite knowledgeable, and she can actually see my origin, not bad, not bad.” The old man in black licked his tongue as he looked at Su Xiaoxiao, salivating as if he saw a delicious dish. Is
this guy really a corpse-carrying person?
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes.
It is said that corpse-carrying is a mysterious skill circulated in the Xiangxi area, which is a bit similar to witchcraft and quite mysterious.
In the Qing Dynasty, the corpse-carrying people in Xiangxi were famous all over the world. They could use “secret techniques” to bring the bodies of people who died thousands of miles away back to their hometowns and let them rest in peace.
Professional corpse-carrying people can control the movements of corpses.
Ye Qiu immediately figured out why the bodies of Chen Laosan and others broke out of the coffin after they died, because someone was controlling them.
At the same time, he also understood that Chen Laosan and the others did not become zombies after their death, but their bodies were controlled by people, which made Ye Qiu mistakenly believe that Chen Laosan and the others had become zombies.
It seems that the initiator of all this is the mysterious old man in black in front of him.
“So, these people were killed by you?” Ye Qiu pointed at Chen Laosan and the others and asked.
“You will die soon too.” The old ghost from Xiangxi looked at Su Xiaoxiao, smiled and said, “If you are willing to be my cousin, then you don’t have to die.”
Cousin is a dialect in Xiangxi area, which means wife.
“Director, I’m scared.” Su Xiaoxiao was almost scared to tears and looked at Ye Qiu tremblingly.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Ye Qiu comforted him and continued to ask the Xiangxi Old Ghost: “These villagers have no grudges against you, why did you kill them?”
“Dead? No, no, no, in my eyes, they are not dead, but they are all my treasures.”
The Xiangxi Old Ghost said: “I have been learning the secret art of driving corpses since I was a child. It took me ten years to finally master it.” “
Since I was twenty years old, I began to study the more advanced art of controlling corpses. For this reason, I dug graves and stole corpses, killed people with my own hands, was expelled from the clan, and was chased by the police. I had no choice but to hide in a remote mountain village like Mogan Village, and it took me another thirty years to finally master the art of controlling corpses.”
“A few days ago, I started doing experiments, and the results are pretty good.”
The Xiangxi Old Ghost pointed at Chen Laosan and the others, and said, “Now these corpses all obey me. They do whatever I tell them to do.”
At this point, the Xiangxi Old Ghost smiled at Su Xiaoxiao and said, “Little girl, if you don’t want to be my guest, then I will kill you, and then I will control your body, and then you will be at my mercy, hehe”
Pervert!
Ye Qiu cursed in his heart.
The Xiangxi Old Ghost killed so many innocent villagers for the purpose of doing experiments. His behavior can only be described in eight words –
annihilation of humanity!
Conscienceless!
Ye Qiu was furious. He looked at the Xiangxi Old Ghost and said coldly, “As a human being, you are so vicious. A scourge like you should not exist in the world.”
“Oh, from what you said, you still want to kill me?” Xiangxi Old Ghost sneered and said, “I advise you to die obediently, so that I can keep your body intact for my use. Otherwise, I will grind you to ashes.”
“Humph!”
Ye Qiu snorted coldly, no more nonsense, holding the scalpel tightly, and strode towards Xiangxi Old Ghost.
