Chapter 43 The White Ape
Partridge Whistle raised his hand to his back collar grabbed, did not let him sit on the ground to make a sound, and the two made a gesture of silence, led the black veil masked the mouth and nose, covering the breath of the living, and then drew out the German-made mirror box, dialed the nose carried in the hand, so that it is in a state ready to be shot at any time, to the red girl and the hole barbarians pointed in the direction of the signals that the two people in the back to closely follow him, and he was the first to sneak trail, and slowly followed the sound of crying and howling in the forest. Slowly follow the sound of crying and howling in the forest and touched the past.
Partridge whistle dressed in night clothes, with a red girl and hole barbarians, three people in the night in search of sound forward, the forest in the direction of the sound of crying, coincidentally in the giant rock fall, the closer, the more clear the sound of whimpering and sobbing, crying and screaming is extremely miserable and chaotic, like a large group of people with the same voice cry, only to hear that cry with the wind echoing in the forest, by no means what is what the wind is moving the forest waves and so on by the natural world of the movement issued by the.
Partridge Whistle saw this strange sound in the middle of the night, is not unusual? His heart secretly wondered, will lift up the spirit of twelve points, hold the breath to catch the footsteps forward to save dozens of wu, in front of the eyes appeared a dense and dense old trees, that piece of the ghosts crying and howling of God’s movement are from which, the forest moon shadow sparse, ghostly atmosphere compelling people.
Wizard hole savage when this scene, has been a heart attack, he also knows that at this time can not make a sound, and even gestures, signaling the partridge whistle and the red girl do not move forward half a step, late at night in the dense forest where there are other people? Must be the Bottle Mountain Tomb in the ghosts see the tomb destroyed, the spirit of the ghosts in the vicinity of the wandering, we three even if we ate the bear heart and leopard guts, but also dare not go in.
Partridge whistle where willing to pay attention to the hole savage son, he saw the trees thick cover the moon, in the forest through may not be safe, then grabbed the hole savage son collar, to the red girl pointed to the tree whistle, will immediately take the hole savage son climbed an old tree, the forest branches are thick, the tree whistle branches can withstand the weight of not small.
These three people in the hole barbarians, is also accustomed to climbing the number of drilling the local natives, red girl and partridge whistle is even more skillful and extraordinary, without saying a word on the canopy, will be low, hidden in the forest whistle among the branches and leaves, from the heights of the hazy moonlight, quietly peeping into the trees.
Under the shadow of the moon, only to see the forest is the front end of the bottle mountain broken down the mountain, green and dark sleep on the ground, as a sleeping giant monster, the mountain has cracked countless large and small gaps, there are many rocks have been collapsed from the mountain are exposed, just partridge whistle and others are at the far end, do not see very clear situation in the mountain rock.
In front of the rock, all over the ground are scattered broken tiles and all sorts of artifacts, gold, silver, copper and jade, think of the chamber was violently impacted, the internal masonry and artifacts have fallen scattered, and another exceptionally tall purple gold coffin slanting in the local, the purple gold coffin is so extravagant, surrounded by the cover of the bead ñîé ñîé ñîé îé ñîé îé îé îé îé îé ñé îé îé ñé îé ñé ñé îé ñé ñé îé ñé îé.
But this purple and gold coffin has been broken, beads and jade broken and crushed, scattered all over the ground, the coffin is a lacquered coffins of golden nanmu, the lid has been shocked open, only one side of the “seven stars board”, half covered in the coffins on the half-covered, the board is made of cedar as a material, the degree of the size of the coffins can be accommodated in the coffins placed within the lid, the board is chiseled with seven sizes such as the copper penny round hole, engraved with a wooden groove The board has seven holes of the size of copper coins cut into it, and the seven holes are connected by a groove, which is why it is called the “seven star board”, a custom that has been practiced since the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Seven star board half cover the coffin, inside the dark nothing can not see, I do not know that the body of the general how, only the sound of countless sad cries in the forest drifting to and fro, at the moment the forest, the tree gap between the night fog flow, the moonlight is also blocked by the sky of the light clouds, hazy in all directions, the partridge sentry three ambushed in the tree sentry, although listening to the four sides of the sound of the cries, but can not identify the wailing sound in the end where it comes from, only to set the “Not moving like a mountain to wait and see what happens” idea, will open the nose of the mirror box gun muzzle pressure bottom, staring at the night hawk-like eyes, staring at the movement of the tree.
Is watching from the breath, the red girl suddenly gently pulled partridge whistle’s sleeve, raised his hand pointing to the purple and gold coffin, indicating that the angle where she is, you can see the bottom of the coffin some very unusual things, partridge whistle in the branches of the tree to move lightly, changed the angle of the eye a, when the heart of the heart of a stern: “What is that?”
The original purple gold coffin under the pressure of a white human arm, that arm is thick and grown, five fingers claw length of several inches, white hair velvet, from the bottom of the coffin to reveal more than half of the section, a movement is not moving.
Zombie body appears necrophilia, suddenly gave birth to corpse hair, has always been legendary for “murder”, both for the “line stiff” pronouns, known as “black murder, white murder” and “Phi hair brake” said, but in the Republic of China, the scientific concept has been far more than the feudal era, even the partridge whistle also know that the corpse hair is due to the role of mold.
Coffin closed for thousands of years, as long as the internal air has not flowed, after the opening of the coffin of the thousand-year-old corpse will still be as “alive”, but in contact with the air, the thousand-year-old zombie will be in the instantaneous changes in the material of the coffin and its changes and the coffin, and the corpse hidden with the Ming ware, if the coffin paved with moisture-proof ash or mercury, the body will be a dry corpse, will not have a Mold.
Contained in jade, blocking the nine orifices of the ancient corpse of a thousand years, if the preservation of the proper, then open the coffin for the “wet corpse”, that is, the body of the water contained within the body is still locked firmly, the ancient corpse of the hair and nails and even continue to grow in the coffin of a hundred years, in contact with the flow of the air, the rapid loss of water, if suddenly touched by the electrical and biological, it will be intensified mold. If suddenly touched by electrical and biological, there will be aggravated mold, quickly grow grayish-white corpse hair, the first corpse and walking stiff is mostly from this.
To specialize in stealing ancient tombs of the mountain leader partridge whistle, the phenomenon of the corpse and the first corpse, and even line stiffs pounce on people a kind of horrific situation, are this and so on things, he has seen I don’t know how many, why is it so strange? But look at that bead embedded jade purple gold coffin is actually under the pressure of zombies, can not help but feel extremely odd, bottle mountain collapsed down the mountain wrapped around the chamber, the coffin fell out of it, it happens to be the front face up, is it even the coffin set of the coffin is not so sturdy, inside the ancient corpse from the bottom of the coffin out of it? Or is there a zombie in the forest, but it was smashed by the purple and gold coffin and pressed underneath?
Tomb room hidden in the mountain top suspended in mid-air, and then landslide, the coffin from the tomb room fell into the dense forest, such a situation I’m afraid that no grave robbers have never seen, of course, the partridge whistle also do not have this kind of experience, the forest demonic atmosphere is heavy, in the absence of a clear understanding of the situation before, since they are not willing to act rashly.
That guide hole savage see partridge whistle and red girl are in the tree staring at the side of the purple and gold coffin, I do not know what they are looking at what, then also hands and feet, climbed the branches of the tree and moved over, rubbed his eyes to take a closer look, see the bottom of the coffin pressed with a white hair zombie, suddenly shocked out of a cold sweat.
There is a saying: “yellow mouth children, which dares to hear the thunder and lightning roar? How can a sick woodcutter hear the roar of a tiger and dragon?” Remote mountain generation, the most superstitious, the fear of ghosts, foxes and zombies deep into the marrow, a look at the horrified, climbed in the tree trembling all over the body, only more than that wood carving clay molding a taste of shaking.
Red girl in the side to see the hole barbarians scared hard, hands and feet have been abolished, at any time may miss a headlong fall down the tree, will hastily seize his undershirt, then only hear the sound of sad cries in the forest gradually gathered over, the bushes in the shadow of the chaos, hit the branches and leaves of a Sydney chaotic sound.
Partridge whistle heart understand this is the “right point” to come, to the red girl and hole barbarians gently waved his hand, signaling: “do not send out any movement to scare snakes, just lurk motionless, first look at what is in the forest, and then do pay attention.” Before he put his hand down, there were already groups of black shadows leaping under the trees.
At this moment the night fog has been thin, the moon also from the clouds out of half, only to see the woods is a group of monkeys, monkeys even with the old and the young about a hundred, and even just born a short time ago the little monkey pups, also by the mother monkey to hold, the group of monkeys running sobbing and to the distance from the purple and gold outer coffin more than a dozen paces distance, that is, they have to stop, it seems to be on the mouth of that shattered coffin is very afraid, and no longer dare to approach the front of the half a step, only surrounded by scratches around the ears and cheeks of the face to cover up the howling! And jumped up and down, refused to have a moment of peace.
Partridge whistle and the red girl see this group of monkeys, such as the human mourning in general, also feel horrified, partridge whistle heart: “Could it be that the coffin smashed a white-haired old ape?” With this idea, and then look at the purple and gold coffin under the arm, indeed longer than normal, just as the ape arm in general, it seems to be a white ape in the forest suddenly suffered a flying accident, died under the coffin.
It is said that the world of all kinds of living beings have a fixed number, live for a long time, will be killed by heaven and earth, such as can avoid all kinds of heaven and earth robbery, can jump out of the five elements of the pain of reincarnation, to get a God swim in the void of immortality, the white ape rushed a step ahead of the wrong step back, would not have been descended from the sky of the purple and gold coffins smashed, if there is no fixed number of the netherworld, how could be suffered by the death of the cross?
Partridge whistle can not eat their own inference, had to continue to spy on the monkeys, the monkeys around, wailing and crying, seems to intend to go over to lift open the coffin to move the body of the white ape underneath to see in the end, but as if it is extremely afraid of something, drumming and noise half a step forward, and like a fire like a burnt ass, “Yiyah” screamed and flew back. Leaping back.
Three people in the tree to see clearly, do not know why the group of monkeys so afraid of the purple and gold coffin, it is not possible that the monkeys also know the coffin “dumplings” powerful? As the saying goes, “the dumplings in Chenzhou, Liuzhou ghosts”, the most famous several kinds of Xiangxi Chenzhou native products, in addition to the cinnabar known as “Chenzhou sand”, as well as the Chenzhou Miao ware, and then there is the most famous zombie, line stiff to send a corpse of a long history of customary, zombie legend is also the most, so in Xiangzhou, the zombie is the most famous, so the zombie is the most famous. Is the most, so in xiangxi bottle mountain to see what the corpse is not strange, I’m afraid that even the monkeys in the mountains know that the ancient corpse can not be easily contacted.
That hole barbarians just fear fox ghost line stiff, see the monkeys but not very surprised, because the Mangdong River Basin often have flocks of wild monkeys, the old Bear Ridge is also known as the White Ape Cave, these monkeys are traveling to and from the mountains of one of the enemies of the people traveling, the monkeys know that the people who are passing by with the body with the alcohol and dry food, they will be in the mountains with the stone in the old forests to hit the people and then rob the food, so the local for the businessmen doing the guide, all will be Singing “Monkey Song” can disperse the harassment of monkeys.
Partridge whistle is good at ventriloquism, will also sing “monkey song, monkey praise” to drive away the monkeys, but at this time the group of monkeys gathered, are surrounded by the purple and gold coffin around jumping and crying and howling, the action is extremely abnormal, in the absence of understanding what happened before, partridge whistle implied that the other two companions to peer at the top of the tree, do not startle the group of monkeys.
At this time to see the hundreds of monkeys in a hurry, which seems to have a number of wise people, turn a few circles on the squatting on the ground, picking up stones to the coffin throwing, the rest of the group of monkeys have followed suit, a countless number of stones such as raindrops fell over, smashed into the purple and gold coffins on the snapping and rattling, however, the coffins within a dead silence, and did not have half a bit of movement.
Partridge whistle secretly said: “good cunning monkeys, even know to throw stones, I do not know what they actually want to do? I and cold eyes to see carefully.” And thought: “The coffin was hit by the stones are not any movement, it seems that this group of monkeys to go over …….”
Just move this idea, really see a few bold and fast monkeys leaped out from the group of monkeys, one of them seems to be a bit timid, out to retreat, will be in the group of monkeys in an old monkey even scratching and biting out, five or six monkeys trembling to the Yin Qi heavy purple and gold coffin close to the hands of scratching the monkey cheeks “squeak” screaming, seemingly panicked and anxious, hate the coffin, and the monkey is not a good idea. Appear to be panicked and anxious, hate to immediately move the coffin open, but also fear that the coffin in what terrible things suddenly appeared, into three steps back two steps, and finally brave monkeys to the front, is still alert to look around, as long as there is a slight breeze, immediately will be like a wind to escape.
At this time, that was pressed in the giant coffin under the white ape arm violently moved a little, do not know is the first corpse or return to the sun, scared a few monkeys near the hair and tail all up, jumped up high, whoosh back to the monkeys, the rest of the monkeys are also frightened not small, and then fled to disperse.
After a while, the monkeys fled and probed from a distance to this side to watch, chattering for a while of commotion, before regrouping over, once again surrounded the purple and gold coffin in front of the Partridge Whistle to see on the sidelines, are secretly anxious for the group of monkeys, only to see the monkeys gradually from panic to calm down, and found that the pressure in the coffin under the white ape seems to be still alive, are jumping up and down in the bushes, appear to have joy.
At that moment there are a few monkeys crawling over with their tails up, trying to stretch the monkey paw to touch the coffin, want to move this heavy purple gold coffin, but do not know where to start, anxious to jump forward and back, which has a large bald-tailed old monkey, seems to be the most courageous one in the group of monkeys, it repeatedly tried a few times, see the coffin and no abnormalities, then leaped up to the seven star board, want to move the board.
At this time, the coffin suddenly emerged a burst of black gas, sitting up an ancient corpse, this zombie stout and tall, the face of ox liver blood purple, head on the crown, full of scattered hair, wearing embroidered purple robes around the body of the ferocious convergence of the robe, the waist around the inlaid jade and gold belts, it is a big noble and huge power of the appearance of the corpse up quickly as electricity, do not wait for the bald-tailed monkeys to respond to the miserable cry of being grabbed by the zombie coffin, did not go into the dark coffin, the coffin was both deep and large, the coffin is not a big, but it is the most daring one in the group, it repeatedly tried to explore several times, see no abnormalities in the coffin, it jumped up to the seven star board to move the board away. The coffin is both deep and large, in the tree can not see the situation inside, only to hear the bald-tailed monkey in the coffin inside the shrill screams suddenly cut off, the purple gold coffin will be no movement.
