Chapter 209 The Cemetery of Chencuozhai(1/2)
The sudden drizzle caused the team to speed up. The two coolies pulling the coffin did not hesitate to walk quickly.
The drizzle made the students frown, and some girls wearing thin clothes couldn't help but shudder.
Winter has already entered at this time, and the weather is getting colder and colder, especially deep in the mountains. If it rains, the temperature will drop sharply.
"Qin Feng, I hope we can cooperate again in the next game." Zhuo Longying smiled. She twisted her beautiful waist and walked to me.
"Of course, since the housekeeper asked us to form a team, we must cooperate." I nodded and said, "I haven't asked you yet, where did you go after you left Chengcheng last time? It seems that you have not returned.
The manor."
"The housekeeper gave me a private game and asked me to complete it. After I completed it, I received this ancient tomb game." Zhuo Longying said.
"Private game? It seems that the butler treats you very well." I didn't ask any more questions, shook my head and continued walking forward.
The funeral procession has reached halfway up the mountain, and the road ahead is getting harder and harder, especially since it is still raining and the road has become muddy. Even we feel a little bit of difficulty, and the people pulling the coffin in front are even more strenuous.
"Hurry up, send the coffin up the mountain tonight, and then hurry back to the village!" The villager leading the team is a man in his thirties, named Chen Liangbin. Someone died in the village before, and he was responsible for the funeral, so he is relatively familiar with it.
road in the mountains.
At this time, Chen Liangbin frowned as he looked at the changing weather, and kept urging the man pulling the cart to hurry up.
After arriving halfway up the mountain, we were surrounded by mountains. No matter where we looked, there were densely packed trees. The mourning flags strung across the mountains and forests crackled in the fierce wind, seeming to be wailing, and ghosts floated from time to time.
The coins were even more weird. Especially the coffin carried by the two villagers was shaking, and it looked like it might shake out the dead person inside at any time.
At this time, many people had a look of fear on their faces.
After we got here, our mobile phones had no signal. Even if I sent a message to the housekeeper, I couldn't send it out, and the points mall couldn't be opened. This means that when we got here, even the housekeeper couldn't contact us.
.
A man and a woman from the tour group followed Lu Qiufeng closely, looking extremely scared.
"Boss, do you think they will knock the people out of the coffin? I feel like the coffin is not nailed tightly." The woman next to me said nervously.
Lu Qiufeng's face was gloomy and he sneered disdainfully: "Become an immortal by cliff burial. This burial method is for resurrection. Do you think the coffin will be nailed tightly? But don't panic. I just saw it. The coffin is for a dead person, not some ghost.
.”
Lu Qiufeng, who has been a ghost controller for some time, also learned a lot from the housekeeper. He can naturally tell whether it is a ghost or a dead person.
"Boss, when we enter the mountain later, do you want to kill Qin Feng?" The man lowered his voice. He seemed to know who Lu Qiufeng hated the most.
Lu Qiufeng stared at his shadow on the ground. There was no light around him at this time, but his shadow was still clearly reflected on the ground. It was a shadow in the shape of a little man.
"Let's talk when we have a chance." Lu Qiufeng is not an impulsive and irrational person. He knows that completing the game is the most important thing. Not to mention whether he can kill me under the eyes of others, even if he kills me now, it seems unnecessary.
Suddenly, the coffin bearers in front stopped, but they didn't seem to have reached their destination.
I took a closer look and saw that a broken coffin had fallen on the originally narrow mountain road, blocking the road sideways.
The coffin was so old that the lid had fallen off, revealing the body inside.
It was precisely because of this tattered coffin blocking the road that the team stopped.
Chen Liangbin frowned and took a closer look, looking a little uneasy. The coffin was obviously hanging nearby, and it might have been blown by the wind and fell into the middle of the road.
The people in Chencuo Village believed this very much and believed that people can be resurrected after death through secret methods. In this case, few people dared to go up and clear the roadblocks.
Soon, Chen Liangbin came to us: "The road ahead is blocked by a fallen coffin. Come help me carry the coffin away."
In response to his request, many students subconsciously took a step back.
Lu Qiufeng waved to the person next to him, asking him to help carry the coffin away.
Although the man was a little scared, he did not dare not listen to what the boss said, and he quickly walked over and moved the coffin together with Chen Liangbin.
After so many years of being ravaged by wind, rain, sun and lightning, the coffin had become extremely fragile. With a little force, the coffin was crushed into pieces. The two people carefully moved the coffin and threw it under the big tree beside the road.
After clearing the roadblocks, the team continued moving forward.
Perhaps because we helped them, Chen Liangbin’s attitude toward us became much better, and he reminded us: “Our cemetery in the back hill of Chencuo Village is fine during the day, but it becomes very gloomy at night, and sometimes you can see
We will leave immediately after the funeral for certain things. You'd better come with us, otherwise it will rain heavily and the mountain will be more likely to change."
Regarding Chen Liangbin's kind reminder, we could only say yes in a perfunctory manner. If it weren't for a game, we would naturally not enter such a place in the middle of the night. If we left in the middle of the night, we would be punished by the housekeeper. You must know that the housekeeper's punishment can kill people!
While walking, coffins began to appear around me.
"Brother, look there, there is a coffin." Xiao Hong took my hand and pointed to the hillside far away in the northwest.
I looked in the direction she pointed, and soon found a coffin hanging under a large locust tree on the hillside, swaying precariously in the wind.
"Isn't it normal for coffins to appear here? Don't forget what we mentioned in the game. The people in Chencuo Village are all descendants of Baiyue. The dead were buried like this at that time. Do you think the coffins on this mountain will be like this?
Are you young?" Su Mei said coldly. She had a cold face and walked very cautiously.
I nodded, "After so many years, if every dead person is buried here like this, there will definitely be no shortage of coffins on the mountain, maybe with 'thousand' as the unit of calculation. Cliff burial becomes an immortal, you say,
After so many years, have those buried here become immortals?"
What I said about becoming an immortal is not really becoming an immortal. Everyone knows that with this kind of burial method, it is very likely that the person will become a ghost!
Hearing what I said, everyone else was a little surprised, and their faces could not help but show fear. Even Chen Ping and Sima Zhongqiu felt a little scared when they heard there were hundreds of coffins on the mountain.
Although they have a strong mentality, they are not afraid of death. Although they have one or two props that can resist the attacks of evil ghosts, if hundreds of evil ghosts appear, then they can only let go and say goodbye to the world.
Continuing to move forward, there are gradually more coffins around. At first, you could only see one or two coffins occasionally, which made you nervous. Now, you can see a coffin hanging half in the sky after almost ten steps.
There are mourning flags on the left and right sides of the mountain, making a wailing sound in the cold wind. Occasionally, when the wind blows, the black and red coffins will sway gently, and the iron chains hanging the coffins will also make a gentle sound.
sound.
"Hey, if you have to be put in a place like this after death, day after day, year after year. I would never do it. I would rather be cremated and thrown into the world." Sima Zhongqiu shrugged.
No one talked to him, it seemed that no one was too lazy to talk nonsense in a place like this.
The team suddenly fell into silence, leaving only the sound of rain, wind, and our footsteps.
Suddenly, the funeral procession in front stopped, and Chen Wenbin said softly: "We're here, carry the coffin up, and we'll leave."
The place we arrived was a high mountain rock in the shade of a mountain. Occasionally, the hidden trees around it were lifted by the wind, revealing one or two coffins hidden deep inside.
Chen Wenbin asked people to carry the coffin containing the village chief to a cold and ventilated cave high above the stone.
It was not easy to lift a coffin up, but it was too dark and the rain was getting heavier. The villagers worked hard to push the coffin up and hang it on the rocks.
"Is this what cliff burials are like? Chen Liang came here yesterday, where will he be now?" A question arose in my mind.
Now that we have arrived at the unmanned cemetery that the steward said, if nothing else happens, the game has begun. From now on, we have to race against time to successfully survive until dawn.
Of course, there is another way to play the game, which is to find the owner of the ancient tomb and kill him, in which case the game will end early.
However, I don't want to do the second method. The butler said that Hongli is very likely to appear during the game, and maybe the owner of the ancient tomb is Hongli.
Hong Li is the most resentful ghost. It would be a dream for just a few of us to kill him.
The 10 of us watched indifferently, paying attention to the changes in the surrounding environment.
"One, two... In addition to the village chief's coffin, there are three more coffins nearby." At this time, Sima Zhongqiu said.
"Three? If there are evil ghosts inside, it must be at least three evil ghosts." I said. The three coffins nearby were all very old. Although they were shaking in the wind, there were no signs of any changes.
"Our threat is likely to come from the coffin, try to stay away from the coffin!"
"Yes, if we want to successfully survive until dawn, we have to stay away from the coffin." Sima Zhongqiu also said.
Hearing what we said, other people subconsciously stayed away from the nearby coffins.
At this time, the mourners had already placed the coffin containing the village chief, and asked people to take out the incense and prepare to perform the last ceremony before taking the people down the mountain.
At this time, a short, fat man in the team who was responsible for carrying ghost coins and incense suddenly screamed, his voice full of panic: "Snake, there is a snake!"
Immediately afterwards, I saw him jump back, pointing to a basket on the ground, and his face turned very pale.
A triangular snake head protruded from the basket, and a pair of black eyes stared at the crowd.
Although I couldn't identify what kind of snake it was, I knew it was a venomous snake from the look of it.
"What's going on? Fatty." Chen Wenbin said nervously.
"I was bitten by it. The snake hid in my basket. It might have just hid in it." The short, fat man covered his right hand and turned pale.
The venomous snake raised its triangular head, stared at us with a pair of strange eyes, and spit out a serpentine from time to time.
"Did a poisonous snake get into the basket?" Chen Wenbin's face changed color. When he was hanging the village chief's coffin just now, the basket was placed aside. He didn't expect that a poisonous snake would get into it.
"Fuck, it's a black neck, very poisonous, old fat man, stop talking!" A villager recognized the poisonous snake in the basket, found some stones and threw them at the snake, trying to scare it away.
But this venomous snake held its head high and seemed not to be afraid of the people around it. It kept spitting out snake bites and seemed to have a strong tendency to attack.
Soon, some villagers found branches and lashed at the poisonous snake. The snake shrank and disappeared into the grass.
Chen Wenbin calmly treated Lao Fei's wound, sucked away the poisonous blood, tied his upper arm with clothes, and said: "You can't leave now. If you go down the mountain again, it will easily cause poisonous poison to attack your heart. Moreover, when you return to the village now, there is no medicine in the village.
When I rushed to the hospital in the city, I was already cold. However, black neck is easier to deal with. This kind of snake is the most common in the mountain. I have encountered it many times before. I know a simple trick. As long as I find a few detoxifying herbs, I can treat it.
Just rub it on and it’ll be fine.”
After discussion, the villagers decided to put Lao Fei here, and the others followed Chen Wenbin to look for medicine nearby.
The old fat man covered his hands and murmured with a pale face: "It's really unlucky. If I had known, I wouldn't have done this job no matter how much money I was given."
