Chapter 9 Burial Ground
"real?"
Gao Cai obviously didn't believe it.
Zuo Xiaohan raised his voice a little more and replied loudly in the direction of the thatched hut: "Do you think I am like you?"
"My family members have long lost their news. After withdrawing their wages at the end of last year, I secretly ran to Cuixianglou for a bit of fun. The taste of a woman... Tsk tsk, you will never understand!"
"you……"
Gao Cai snatched his head, his face full of envy, and his mouth seemed to be angry, "You are really a loser. You can go to twice a year with just your little wages. Can people like us go to the Cuixianglou place?"
After saying that, he poked Zuo Xiaohan with his arm, and pressed his body and asked in a low voice: "Zuo Xiaohan, you said to me, what does that woman feel like?"
The two of them were digging holes while talking nonsense. They were both young and strong guys. In less than an hour, they dug out a soil pit the size of a bathtub.
The black mud that was lifted was transported to the side of the bamboo forest by them in a bamboo basket. In the end, a small part of the black soil was left, and Zuo Xiaohan left it in his own initiative.
Seeing that the task was completed, Gao Cai took the initiative to go to the thatched hut to call the Taoist in black out for acceptance.
Taking advantage of the breathing, Zuo Xiaohan looked at the direction of the thatched hut with an uncertain expression. The bragging just now was obviously done on purpose.
You must not know that there are ears in the partition walls.
I don’t know if the other party heard the subtext in his words clearly... I want boy blood, I don’t have it here, so I’ll look for someone else.
A moment later, the figure of the Taoist in black appeared beside the earth pit.
He gestured at the ruler and looked at the pit, then jumped in and stepped on it with his feet, very satisfied with the progress of their work.
"You lift the coffin and carry your young master's body over."
The two of them came to the coffin hesitantly.
The edge of the coffin was not filled at all.
With a light push, it opened.
"Zuo Xiaohan, raise your head..."
Gao Cai deliberately turned his head open, his eyes swept through the coffin, and soon shrank back.
He swallowed two saliva nervously,
Lying inside, the one who was motionless was Zhou Donglai's only son, the eldest son of the Zhou family.
I don’t know how to enjoy my life, so I went to Cuixianglou to drink flower wine, and now I have become a dead body.
Although we often meet each other on weekdays, we are separated by heaven and man at this time, and we have a sense of awe for the dead, which makes Gao Cai quite unable to let go.
Zuo Xiaohan deliberately showed grace and generousness. He bent his waist and closed his breath to lift the upper body of the corpse.
The body had been stored in the Zhou Mansion lobby for two days and was completely stiff.
I didn't feel any difficulty when I lifted it.
There was only a faint smell of sandalwood and corpse odor that smudged into the nose.
One of them raised his head and the other raised his foot, carefully resting the body at the bottom of the pit.
According to the instructions of the Taoist in black, he dragged the upper body of the corpse forward and let it rest on the bottom of the soil pit in a lying position.
In just a moment, the two of them were already sweating profusely.
The Taoist in black adjusted the placement of the corpse in the soil pit, placed the other party's head at the edge of the soil pit, and then asked them to stand outside the soil pit and keep filling the soil inside.
When Black Soil buried the body, he left a head naked on Black Soil.
The pale skin, closed eyes, the blue lips, and the raised forehead were a little scary no matter how you look at it.
Even the talented person who was eager to perform was still shrank aside.
The Taoist in black asked Zuo Xiaohan to lift a bucket of crow blood that had been prepared before, carefully poured it on the black soil, and finally stepped on the black soil.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after the blood of the crow was poured on, the corpse exposed to the black soil seemed to have a little more vitality, and the skin was no longer whiter, and a hint of redness appeared faintly.
"You two are just guarding outside. If you feel cold, you can drink some wine to warm your body. Don't let small animals touch the corpse."
After the Taoist in black gave the order, he glanced at Zuo Xiaohan again and returned to the thatched hut with a tired look on his face.
Only Gao Cai and Zuo Xiaohan were left to guard the edge of the earth pit.
"Zuo Xiaohan, this... the young master looks so scary. Can he cover his exposed head?"
Gao Cai was carrying a diabolic basket and was trying to cover the body that emerged from the black soil, but he was a little confused.
A snap!
Zuo Xiaohan took the bamboo basket directly from his hand and covered it without hesitation.
Then the two of them fell back to back and sat under a dead tree, opened the food box she had brought over, and while drinking, filling their stomachs.
It was late autumn, so I was not afraid of the cold. What was strange was that there was no trace of mosquitoes by the bamboo forest.
After the surrounding space breaks away from the torch, it is shrouded in a dark and dark layer. Every time a mountain breeze blows by, it rolls up the fallen leaves and dead branches on the ground, making rustling sounds.
After drinking and eating, my body became warmer.
Gao Cai's previous fear had been washed into the drain by a pot of turbid wine.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was on the verge of being half impulsive and half sensible. After suddenly getting idle, he felt that the night was so long.
Can't sleep!
I didn't dare to fall asleep without worry.
Gao Cai moved his butt to Zuo Xiaohan, and finally couldn't help but feel curious, "Zuo Xiaohan, is that girl from Cuixianglou more beautiful than Xiaohong?"
Zuo Xiaohan accompanied Gao Cai to pull the egg for a while. After the other party curled up in the quilt and fell asleep, he silently said in his heart, "This is the first day."
When he was in the hall, he also eavesdropped on some of the conversation between the Taoist in Black and Zhou Donglai.
If as expected, the corpse will be transformed within five days.
There is not much time left.
Zuo Xiaohan became more and more anxious.
I don’t know if the “crow blood” combined with chicken blood can achieve the purpose of the Taoist in black who resurrected the soul by borrowing corpses.
If not, will other changes occur?
An hour later, it became late and late.
There were snoring from Gao Cai around him, and coughing came from time to time in the hut not far away, constantly hitting Zuo Xiaohan's nervous atrium.
He looked up at the sky.
Behind the clouds, a crescent moon was vaguely revealed. The moonlight quietly covered the black soil beside the bamboo forest, just like the weeds in early spring growing quietly.
The corpse-burying place chosen by the black-clothed Taoist happened to be next to the bamboo forest. There was no tall tree nearby. The moonlight shone on the soil pit in a daze, adding a sense of hazy and blur.
A trace of enlightenment arose in Zuo Xiaohan's heart.
The technique of resurrecting the soul by borrowing corpses requires the black soil as the carrier and the crow's blood as the introductory, and the moonlight may be the nutrients in it.
None of the three is missing.
But he is now a layman. Although he has an active and broad mind and vision in his previous life, he has no basis for judgment.
"It would be great if I could steal the Maoshan secret technique of the Taoist in black and take a look."
Zuo Xiaohan sighed.
His current situation is like a small boat in the sea, and he is not influenced by himself wherever he goes.
You can only work hard to adjust your course in the partitions of the waves, hoping to be closer to your destination.
This sadness and depression in his heart, which was incapable of controlling the overall situation, made him unable to exhale.
If the technique of resurrecting the soul of borrowing corpses will be effective within 5 days, there will be 4 days left for him.
Chapter completed!
