Chapter 21: Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse

I was stunned, thinking, this voice is so familiar, isn't it Uncle San's? He is still on the cliff, how come this voice seems to be nearby? I turned around to look for him, but found that there was no one else around except the fat man. I couldn't help wondering, and suddenly I heard Uncle San say: "You have blood on your hands, once it enters the corpse's mouth, the corpse will rise immediately, don't mess around."

I looked around for the source of the sound, and finally found that it came from under the jade platform. However, the jade platform was so colorful that I couldn't see what was underneath. I hurriedly asked, "Uncle San, are you under this jade platform?"

Uncle San said, "I will explain it to you later. Follow my method, lower the head of the female corpse, press her throat with your thumb, and then tap her back of the head. Remember, you must press her throat, otherwise the key will be swallowed by her!" I agreed, followed his instructions, pressed the throat of the female corpse, and then tapped it gently, and a key fell out of her mouth. As soon as the key fell on the jade table, I felt my shoulders loosen, and the female corpse's arms dropped down, and the body fell on the jade table.

I heaved a sigh of relief, thinking I was finally free, and then I heard my third uncle say again, "Nephew, is there another fat guy next to you?"

I looked up at the fat man, who had already picked up the dropped key and was studying it carefully, and nodded, "Yes."

Uncle San suddenly asked in Hangzhou: "Look and see if he has a shadow."

I was stunned when I heard that, and I didn't understand what he meant. I just glanced at the fat man's feet reflexively, and saw that his shadow was covered by the shadow of the jade bed. If I didn't stick my head out, I couldn't see whether it was there or not. I couldn't help but feel a little confused and said, "I can't see clearly now."

Uncle San sounded very nervous and said to me, "Listen, I'm going to tell you something. Don't be afraid. I saw the fat man's body on my way to this place just now. You must be careful. The fat man in front of you may not be a human."

I glanced at the fat man and saw that his face was ruddy. His expression and movements did not look like a ghost at all. I couldn't help but wonder, "Uncle San, could you have seen it wrong?"

Uncle San said, "No, it must be him. I'm not mistaken. He must be one of the last batch of tomb robbers. He must have been encouraging you to put your hand into the mouth of the female corpse, right? He was trying to harm you!"

I was immediately frightened and asked, "According to you, this fat man in front of me is a ghost?"

Uncle San said, "Yes, no matter what he says, don't believe it. Look around for something to ward off evil spirits."

At this time, the fat man raised his head and looked at me. I suddenly felt that his eyes were very strange, as if he was very resentful. I couldn't help but half believe it immediately. I fumbled around and touched the belt of the armored corpse, on which was the scabbard of the sword. I thought that the ancients would engrave words to ward off ghosts on their belts, so I quickly picked it up.

Although the words on the belt were very faint, I could still recognize at a glance that they were indeed the words of the State of Lu. Could this person really be King Shang of Lu? Who was the female corpse over there? Could it be his wife? I thought about it for a moment, and my eyes were not idle. I had already scanned the belt. Although I couldn't understand most of the words, there was "Yinxi Baodi" written in gold powder on it, which was very easy to recognize. It was indeed a spell to suppress ghosts. I was happy.

At this time, I thought of something and asked Uncle San: "Strange, this jade bed is not transparent, how can you see us?"

Uncle San said, "I don't know either. I saw everything clearly from below, as if it was a piece of transparent glass. When I came over, I saw you trying to take the key from the woman's mouth, so I called you. Fortunately, you could hear me, otherwise it would have been terrible if you had put your hand in."

I became more and more puzzled, and always felt that something was wrong. I thought: This jade bed is not wide, and the two corpses on it are placed very closely side by side, and the moonlight here is not particularly bright. It seems a little impossible to see so clearly through two side-by-side corpses under this level of light.

I glanced at the fat man again and saw that he was still studying the key. Suddenly I felt something was wrong .

Given Fatty's personality, even if he didn't understand the Hangzhou dialect I was speaking, he would definitely interrupt me. It was absolutely impossible for him to just stand there and stare at a key for such a long time.

I rolled off the bed and patted the fat man on the shoulder, just wanting to test him, but I didn't expect that the fat man's reaction to that ordinary pat was so big. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted, "You kid has been lying to me all along!" Then he raised the knife in his hand and stabbed at me. I was shocked and took several steps back, shouting, "What are you doing!"

His eyes were red and he didn't listen to me at all. He rushed over and stabbed me again. The fat man's movements were quite sharp. I knew that if I didn't run, I would be stabbed. I turned around and ran down the stone steps. The fat man shouted, "I told you to run!" and chased after me desperately. He gritted his teeth and looked like I had killed his father.

I ran desperately along the stone path. The fat man looked bloated, but he ran very fast. I saw that the stone corridor was short and I would reach the stone altar at the end in a little while. Behind it were vines all over the ground. If I stepped into them, I would probably get chopped up again. I was anxious. I thought, could he really be an evil ghost who wanted to take me down with him? But there is no evil ghost that stabs people with a knife.

Thinking of this, there was almost no road ahead, I braked, and then used the belt in my hand as a whip to whip him. The fat man dodged, and I rushed forward and bit his hand, thinking that I was the first person in the world who dared to bite a ghost. He screamed in pain, and the knife fell to the ground. I kicked the knife out of the stone corridor .

At this point, I was already exposed, and the fat man pushed me to the ground, saying, "I'm going to strangle you to death!" and then he grabbed my neck .

In a moment of desperation, I used my belt to strangle his neck, thinking to myself, you are cruel and I am not kind either, I will fight you to death !

I strangled him and he pinched me. The key to a fight is to strangle the other person to death before you suffocate yourself. I saw that the fat man didn't hold back at all and almost made my tongue spit out. I hurriedly used all my strength, using my hands to squeeze. I didn't expect that the belt looked well preserved, but the quality was so poor that it broke with a snap when I used force.

The belt was made of cowhide with small scale-like copper armor on it. When the cowhide was broken, the copper armor fell on my face like flowers scattered by fairies. The armor piece engraved with "Yinxi Baodi" fell into my open mouth. I suddenly felt a bitter liquid flowing into my throat. I remembered that the armor piece was from a corpse, and I choked with nausea. Suddenly, I felt a blur in front of my eyes, as if I had fallen into a black mist.

I was very confused, thinking, could it be that I was strangled to death by the fat man so quickly? I felt the bitter taste in my mouth getting stronger and stronger, and the things in front of me became clearer and clearer. Then I woke up suddenly and found myself being pressed on the jade bed by the fat man. His eyes were blue and he was strangling my neck tightly. The key in the mouth of the female corpse did not fall out, and her hands were still tightly hooked on my shoulders. The scene was extremely chaotic!

I just realized that everything just now was an illusion !!

I turned my head to look at the blue-eyed fox corpse next to me. His mask was still on the ground, and his eyeballs in the two narrow slits had turned to our side, staring at us straight.

I thought to myself, no wonder the fat man told me not to look, the eyes of this blue-eyed fox corpse are so weird, and the fat man is so strong , even if I wake up, I will be strangled to death. I hurriedly touched my mouth and found that the nail piece in my mouth had melted completely. I was anxious, and suddenly I saw the purple gold box in the fox corpse's hand. I didn't think too much, and stretched out my hand desperately, picked it up and hit the fat man's head .

The fat man was very fierce. He cursed loudly and tightened his hands. I thought to myself, you want to strangle me to death, you want to break my neck! I was determined to kill him. This man was very scary. When I wanted to kill him, the strength in my hands was completely different. I heard a sound of the stick, and the fat man rolled his eyes. He was almost shaken by my knock and fell on me. My neck loosened and I coughed up blood.

At this moment, I suddenly saw that the blue-eyed fox corpse's eyes suddenly opened wide. A strange force attracted me to look at him. Suddenly, my mind began to become chaotic again. In a hurry, I didn't care about the fat man and pushed him onto the corpse. The fat man was very burly and just pressed the corpse firmly. With this pressure, the strange feeling disappeared immediately.

I rubbed my neck, which was almost deformed by the marks left by the boss's fingers. I felt terrible pain all over my body. The eyes of this blue-eyed fox corpse were so powerful. If I hadn't happened to swallow the piece of armor on his belt, one of the fat man and I would have died. I took a look at the purple gold box that I had just used as a weapon, and suddenly found a small keyhole on it. I couldn't help but scream, and then looked into the mouth of the female corpse, thinking, could that key be used to open this box?
