Chapter 6 Rat two nuns
Chen blind this group of people are accustomed to stealing tombs, each bold, in the village to save the pavilion in the night do not care, made up his mind, on the “cloudy, mountain roads such as silk” of the old Bear Ridge, that the village is far from the beaten track, walked to the time of the lamp to find, only to see that the village seems to be a derelict temple converted into a temple, but the scale of the broken temple is not small, before and after into three, the main hall roof collapsed half of the roof, roof tiles on all the grass, under the cold moon and stars, there is a group of bats around the mid-air dancing, but also a group of the bats in the sky. Before and after the temple is divided into three, the main hall of the mountain roof collapsed half, roof tiles on all the grass, under the cold moon and cold stars, there is a group of bats flying around the mid-air, fell off the paint of the broken wooden door half closed, was blown by the mountain wind, creaking sound.
Although the people are bold, see this scene can not help but drum in the heart, hard to push the door in, Chen blind man has long been explored in advance, this save the museum originally had a guardian of the corpse, is a middle-aged woman, because of the ugly appearance, living alone in the mountains, not and other people, only to do this business, but she also died two days ago of disease, and now the body is parked in the back of the house, this deserted mountain village temporarily no one to take care of.
It was dark, but not in a hurry to rest, Chen blind man to first look at the entrance and exit portals, so as not to encounter any accidents at night, to be able to get away, when the rate of the crowd, lit up a leather lamps, stepped into the main house, see inside the parked seven or eight dilapidated black lacquered coffins, are dead hotel in the “beds”, over the years, inside, I do not know how many corpses have been loaded, coffins in front of the coffin, the coffin is not a good idea. How many corpses have been installed in these years, the coffin before the wooden tablet, each written with the name of the spirit master, the house in the odor pungent, gloomy deposits, corpses with arsenic to take into the zombie to maintain non-corrosive, the old Bear Ridge is very remote, the body builder about every six months to come to the coffins once, will be up to take away the body, the righteousness of the village in the body guards, is responsible for guarding the bodies, preventing will not be a corpse change shape, or be beasts gnawed on.
Flower horse abduction is mortar and pestle to make body, in the group of thieves is considered more superstitious people, go out to do things, every mountain to worship the mountain, over the water to worship the water, as soon as you enter the door in the offering table to find the incense burner, to the coffin of the dead burned a few columns of incense, reciting the words in his mouth: “We pass through the deserted mountains, missed the head of the night, here to borrow the night, do not intend to disturb, hope to be listed in the old man connotations… … …” Before finishing his words, he heard a rattling in the coffin, and suddenly a cold wind hit him, and the lamps and candles were all dark.
Yi Zhuang in a gust of wind blowing, group of thieves in the hands of the lamps and candles, are then fluttering to be extinguished, heard in the house of the old coffin board creaking, like a very long fingernails in the hands of scratching the coffin lid, the sound of the human skin are up layer of hairy chestnuts.
Chen blind man saw a strange movement, busy hand gathered in the waist of the short knife, he traditionally do not like to use the gun, tomb raiding with only a short knife to defend themselves, this knife has a history, is the mouth of the year when the emperor side of the imperial sword “small God blade”, often and the god gun and placed in front of the driver, the cold light infiltration, sharp and incomparable, at this moment to pull out the knife edge to see, see the light of the knife gulping and flashing, know that This “save the museum” is not too clean, if not haunted by ghosts, that is, there are hidden evil things.
Chen blind man immediately waved his hand, and several associates were fan spread out, flanking the front, the mouth of the coffin lid have to open, to see whether the coffin zombie change, Luo old crooked also dragged out the double gun to follow the view, there is some of this alarm, the coffin in the strange sound is actually disappeared, only to hear the sound of the wind outside the house whimpering sound, shaking the brick tiles and ancient trees, listen to in the ears, extraordinarily bleak.
This group of people are always digging graves and digging graves of the giant thief, the so-called “righteous high people bold”, and the group of thieves most taboo in front of the associates to show the slightest sense of cowardice, in dozens of old coffins between the rounds a few times, see no unusual, on the installation of corpses in the coffins under the tripping rope, the rope are soaked with cinnabar powder, stiff corpses can not be bent, so it could be Tripping rope pressure in the coffin can not come out, and then the coffin lid fastened, which covered the door, left the main hall.
Back to the dilapidated courtyard of the righteous villa, but see the stars and moon in the sky, the wind and clouds in the mountains, it looks like nine times out of ten to have a heavy rain at night, “look” the word skill under the law is to see the mud traces to recognize the color of the grass, the rain washed away more easy to perform, down the ridge is the boundary of the Bottle Mountain, tomorrow morning after the rain stops, it is possible to go to see the situation of the ancient tombs, and so the group of thieves decided to stay in the village for the night. Stay in the village to spend the night, this group of people are carrying murder weapon, warding off evil spirits of the ink bucket, the district of a mortuary save the hall, how to put in the eyes.
In the village turned around twice, all the houses, are dilapidated, filthy, only next to the back door of a small room can still live, this room is the guardian of the corpse usually live, but also the dead hotel in the only room for the living, Luo Lao crooked walk a day on the mountain, can not wait to settle down earlier to rest, and blind man Chen said a “please! “word, raised his foot and kicked open a wooden door, stepped into the house.
Luo old crooked into just after a turn around, just see another door plate standing behind a straight dead, the body was a large bed of white cloth, only showed a vague outline, head erected on a wooden signboard, in front of the body of a life-lamp, burned only as big as a soybean, even if he was Luo old crooked life killers, did not expect the door will be poking with a corpse, on the spot, was scared out of a cold sweat, subconsciously reached out to yank the revolver.
Chen blind man then entered the room, hastily pressed the hand of Luo Lao crooked, looked at the corpse head of the spiritual seat, wooden plaque with a yellow grass paper charms, raised the oil lamp to shine that paper charms, the charms painted above are very familiar, before the mountain in the Middle School Taoist, learn by ear, quite recognize some of the runic language, this is the charm of the Zhang Chenzhou charm in the “clean corpse charm”, which reads: “Six armor on the left, six ding on the right, thunder and lightning in front, wind and clouds in the back, a thousand evils and ten thousand filth, clear by gas. Urgent as the law.”
Then gently pluck up a corner of the paper talisman, looking at the line of words exposed on the spirit board below read: “Rat Ergou Wu’s position …… must be the woman who is on the night watch in the saving museum, she just died two days ago, according to the country custom, to be set up as a zombie on the door panel to enter the coffin, I heard that this woman is also a bitter person, my generation and her Well water does not offend the river water, by her parked here too.”
Chen blind man’s three henchmen, are also a stomach of bitterness of origin, otherwise would not have fallen into the grass when the horse, always sympathize with those humble and poor people, at this time to hear Chen blind man said, are happy to agree: “The big boss is extremely, since ancient times, the bitter people do not deceive the dry people, we are all forced to the Liangshan, before occupying a party, do something of a hero of the hooks, heroes of the cause, why make it difficult for a There are bitter water dead people.”
Luo Lao crooked although he had the intention to burn the body, so as not to be placed in the house all night relative, but see difficult to disobey the will of the people, but also to rely on these people, had to be patient, followed by Chen Blind man into the house, the flower ant crutch busy before and after cleaning up a clean place, please the two head sat, the remaining three follower’s identity limitations, do not dare to with the theft of the head of the leader and the marshal of the Luo Pingqi equal seat, cleaned up after the proper, sit on the ground and chew to eat dry food to wrap the abdomen, drink some boiled wine to drive away the cold. After packing up, they sat on the ground and ate dry food to wrap their stomachs, and drank some soju to drive away the cold.
Eat half, listen to the outside thunder and lightning, a few thunderbolts fell in succession, shaking the roof tiles are moving, followed by torrential downpour, Chen blind man while sitting cross-legged and drinking, while closing his eyes and meditating on a variety of news from today’s prying, conceptualizing the size of the Bottle Mountain Tomb, heard the thunder rumble, they do not move to tell the flower ant crutch, red girl and Kunlun Mole three people: “not in the righteousness of the village, not peace, tonight must be put carefully It’s not peaceful in the Righteous Villa, we must be more careful tonight, don’t sleep.”
Flower ant abductors and other people quickly rose to take orders, and then all the people drink wine vigil, gossip inadvertently talking about the rat second aunt Wu’s things, think she this name is very strange? Could it be that she looks like a rat? Just the body covered with a white cloth can not see the face, it is difficult to imagine her appearance.
Luo old crooked sucked enough smoke bubble, feel full of spirit, he has long been on the red girl for a long time, want to accept her as eight aunts, but this woman is too strong, the family swore not to marry after a huge change, simply refused to agree, and she is good at the moon door of the ancient color trick craft, is to crack the tomb of the master of the mechanism, tomb robbers open coffins are less than her, Luo old crooked is a big smoker, just greedy for money, in the word of color is not very tight, plus Chen blind man is not very tight, but also the red girl is a big smoker, just greedy for money, in color word. Coupled with the red girl is Chen Blind man’s right-hand man, will only have to this idea just, but this night in the deserted village, it is idle boredom, how can not find an opportunity to talk to the red girl.
At this time, I heard the flower ant crutch about the appearance of the female corpse, Luo old crooked said: “How does it look? Take a look and you’ll know.” Said has walked to the door, a lift of the hand will be uncovered to cover the body of the white cloth, through the light of the lamp a look, everyone is greatly shocked, Luo old crooked is even more alarmed: “Fuck his grandmother, the world really have a rat into a spirit not?” Even the mute Kunlun Mole all opened his mouth to see the eyes straight.
Only see that the female corpse skin color without blood, the color of the body is not white but gray, gray, and that no blood gray and white in the deep layer of black gas is not so obvious, the rat two nuns face features are very confined, small nose, small eyes, ears slightly pointed, sharp teeth are very obvious, greenish purple lips like the front of the protruding, in addition to the absence of the rat hairs, live is a rat face.
Chen blind man see the crowd that vice has not seen the world, the appearance of the strange, called out: “noisy, at the expense of often boasted is the emperor’s mausoleum digging the most unloading ridge thief crowd, see a face ugly strange female corpse, also like this strange.”
In the mountains under the picking plate to pick up the tongue leakage time, Chen blind old experience, everything, one by one to explore the full, Luo old crooked and others are only concerned about probing the news of the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, and other things have not paid attention to, so do not know the rats two nuns, had to be said by Chen blind and they know.
About the encounter of the rat two nuns, the most common saying is this: more than ten years ago, guarding the village is a man with the surname of Wu, the mountain people are calling him to do “Yi Zhuang old Wu”, near the mountains of the Tu family is very fond of eating blood tofu. Blood tofu is a mixture of pig’s blood and tofu, kneaded into a pile and put into a bamboo sieve, hung in the air dry on the kang, and then you can have a variety of ways to eat.
One day Yi Zhuang Lao Wu also boiled a pot of blood tofu to eat, this thing as long as the look, smell will be mouth-watering, when not cooked, but already fragrant, Yi Zhuang Lao Wu drooling in the pot beside the guard, and suddenly heard a burst of rapid knocking, Yi Zhuang Lao Wu rushed to open the door, but there is no one outside the door, not even a ghost, and then turn back, see there is a young woman, is piling in the pot side! Fishing for blood tofu to eat, eighty percent is knocking on the front door of the sound of the west, while the old man opened the door of the kung fu, from the back window jumped in.
Yi Zhuang Lao Wu was furious, thinking that this is not the mountain female ring horse to smash the open fire? The master is not dead yet, to steal blood tofu is not your turn, copied a chopping axe on the past, the woman lowered his head to eat, heard the golden wind a sound, holding the pot to escape out the door.
Yi Zhuang old Wu in hot pursuit, in a depression finally caught up with her, an axe down, just chopped in the woman’s buttocks, with the blood bursting out, but also dropped a thick rat tail. Yi Zhuang old Wu look this is a rat Jing ah, he is always guarding the dead body of the people, the courage of nature is not small, angry, they intend to cut down all, raised the axe want to cut again, the woman but cried and begged: “Today smell the pot of blood tofu flavor, really can not resist the temptation to come out to steal food, I did not expect to be cut off the tail of the male, and no longer change back to the original form, if the male If you don’t mind my ugly face, I’m willing to marry you and spend the rest of my life.”
Yi Zhuang old Wu played many years of bachelor, he guarded the village for many years, men try to avoid him, let alone a woman willing to marry him, it is a long drought did not meet the dry dew. A closer look at the woman although long a pair of rat face, but after all, there is a woman’s body, so that night they married her. A few years later, the old Wu Yi Zhuang for his wife’s treatment to go to the mountains to collect medicine, the results were licked by the old bear, they have no children, the old Wu Yi Zhuang died, leaving only the Wu became a widow, still rely on the watchman Yi Zhuang for a living.
The old people in the village know that the actual situation is not like this, U’s is not a big rat into the spirit, but the old Wu Yi Zhuang in the mountains to take in a woman fleeing to the mountains, because she looks very strange, so the mountain students make up nonsense, rumors are more and more, and over time they call her to do the “rats two nuns,” there are a lot when the Mother’s, they use her to scare disobedient children, and then naughty Beware of the rat in the middle of the night two nuns held to go, the children think of that big rat like a woman, often do not dare to cry again.
Chen blind young full of learning, intelligence, and have the ability to face, know that the world has this kind of face deformity of people, not surprising, but the life of the bitter phase fierce, as ugly people with rags, this life how to live? Here for the crowd point broken, so that they do not guess nonsense.
Luo old crooked also feel to their own just move made a mistake, there is a loss of identity, had to look for another head of the conversation, want to show off some insights to take the opportunity to find some face back, asked the flower ant abduction: “abduction, I heard that your ancestors is a famous autopsy mortar and pestle, can you see this rat two nuns died of what cause?”
Flower ant crutch turned to look at the female corpse, only the eyeballs turned two turns have seen the difference, face suddenly slightly changed color, replied: “back to the Luo general head, small talent, see this female corpse lip color green, the five senses closed, even like a full cavity are corpse poison, is not a righteous manor of zongzi at first corpse …… will she pounce death? The?”
