Holy Bone

Chapter 217 Hemp Rope and Tongue Pulling Hell

at this time.

Jin An and the others were blocked by several corpses hanging above their heads with their tongues pulled out.

Seeing these tongue-plucked corpses, Jin An thought of the soy-sauce meat that would be dried in the shade of the balcony in his hometown during festivals.

The flesh and blood of those tongue-plucked corpses were air-dried.

The body is dark and dry.

The body was hung still by the rope, hanging in the air motionless and still.

These people are all dead, their eyeballs have long since rotted and their empty sockets are gone, staring at people who come in from outside.

Their mouths were wide open, sticking out their missing tongues.

It seems that after the tongue was cut off, the death was very painful, so the mouth opened in pain, and half of the tongue was spit out.

"The tongue-plucked corpses look so miserable, it reminds me of the tongue-pulling hell."

In folklore.

There are eighteen floors in hell.

One of the layers of hell is the tongue-pulling hell.

According to legend, people who fall into the tongue-pulling hell are villains who sow discord and slander others behind their backs.

Now Jin An and the others were blocked by these dead men with their tongues pulled out in front of them. These dead men had their limbs hanging down and their toes were very close to the water.

If they want to pass, they will definitely touch the toes of these dead tongues.

These dead people with their tongues pulled out were hanged motionless, and they didn't know what unpredictable results would happen if outsiders disturbed these dead people with their tongues pulled out?

Looking at the large amount of phosphorous fire in the corpse cave, Jin An suddenly said in amazement, "Old man, do you think that one of the corpses among these tongue-pull dead people looks familiar..."

The old Taoist heard the words and looked carefully.

The muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched: "Mother, there is a tongue-plucked person who died not long ago, and blood is still dripping from his mouth."

"This man is old-fashioned. If I remember correctly, he should be one of the folk exorcists on the same boat as the Ferryman."

you do not say.

Before, because of the distance, although there was phosphorous lighting from the corpse, the vision in the cave was dim, after all, the vision was limited, so I didn't notice the abnormality at first.In the end, Jin An noticed the abnormality of one of the corpses through the difference in the newness and oldness of the clothes.

The corpse that had just died was just like other dead people, with its mouth open, half of its tongue pulled out, blood still dripping from its mouth.

His face was pained and his eyes were wide open.

Unrepentant pain, ferocious eyes, staring straight at all outsiders.

The picture is weird.

creepy.

"Little brother, how did you say that the exorcist was hung up? How did he have his tongue pulled out?"

"It can't be that he wanted to die by himself, pulled out his own tongue cruelly, and then put a rope around his neck to hang him?"

The old Taoist said curiously.

Jin An was also surprised to see the hanged body of the exorcist whose tongue had been pulled out. As an exorcist, he has extraordinary abilities.

Especially this time, in order to slay the Dragon King and put down the Dragon King case, Mr. Fu Yin chose these folk exorcists who are all real exorcists, not the kind of charlatans who cheat on food and drink.

Even the exorcists were planted here, dying so strangely, Jin An was also surprised, how did these exorcists die?
"There are exorcists who died here, but they didn't see the rest of the underworld ferryman and Mr. Feng Shui. Could it be that they passed through this tongue-pulling hell before us one step faster?"

The old Taoist priest turned around to look for the whereabouts of the ferrymen from the underworld in the corpse caves that were soaked white by the river water everywhere, but he did not find a single person.

"It seems that the ferrymen from hell and the others should have really passed..." the old Taoist thought to himself.

"Old man, why do I think that every time a boat of people carried by the underworld ferryman passes through a dangerous place, one person will die. Little brother, do you think these dead exorcists were deliberately sacrificed to the dead? Buy road money?"

"Isn't there a saying that money can make ghosts grind? For the dead, the longevity and virtue in life are the most valuable and the most attractive."

The more the old Taoist talked, the more he felt that his conjecture made sense.

"Sacrificing a living person, borrowing a dark way?"

"Is this the rule of the underworld ferryman and Mr. Feng Shui that the ferry borrows the underworld?"

After such a reminder from the old Taoist priest, Jin An's eyes suddenly showed surprise and surprise.

"Borrowing a shady way for the ferry is the way of the dead. As the saying goes, having money can make ghosts grind the millstones. If you want to borrow a way from the dead, you have to pay an equivalent price, and one life for one life is also regarded as a dead man's life. Equivalent price, and then let the ghost help the underworld ferryman to borrow the underworld and pass through safely."

Can ignore human life.

So cold-blooded and ruthless.

Jin'an has classified this underworld ferryman as an evil cultivator.

Since there are exorcists who died here, then the appearance of these tongue-pulling dead people blocking their way is definitely not a silly trick used by the owner of the tomb to simply scare people.

Out of careful consideration, Jin An planned to try to go around from both sides.

Can be found out quickly.

It is not realistic for the raft to find gaps on both sides to go around.

In this corpse cave, there are green phosphorous fires everywhere, and tall corpses are piled up on both sides of the waterway. Those corpses are dead but not decayed, and they are above the water surface. Many phosphorous fires are ignited on the corpses, illuminating the corpse cave.

These large piles of corpses above the water surface are not only the source of visual illumination.

Also an obstacle.

It blocks the possibility of the raft detour from both sides.

There are only two roads before Jin An and the others.

Or is it hard to break into hell.

If you want to, you can only give up the raft, go ashore, and walk around on the mountain of corpses.

Jin'an consulted with the old Taoist priest and Chijian about the feasibility of going ashore and making a detour.

"Old Daoist, why do I think that going ashore and walking among so many corpses is more dangerous than facing a few dead people with their tongues pulled out in front of us alone, and there is always a sign of restlessness."

Looking at the mountains of corpses on both sides of the waterway, the old Taoist always felt chilly on the back of his neck, so he shrank his neck involuntarily and said nervously.

Jin An pondered.

To be honest, the old Taoist's worries were actually Jin An's deepest worries.

That's why he asked the two of them for their opinions.

"Sharp Sword, then do you think we should continue on the raft, or go ashore and detour?" Jin An asked the thief, Sword Shaving.

Fortunately, since entering the corpse cave, there is only one waterway along the way, and I didn't bend down to drink water after cutting my sword.

otherwise.

Even if the psychological quality is as strong as Jin An and the old Taoist priest, they really don't want to think about that picture...

With a dull face, he sharpened his sword with a blank expression, and looked blankly at the dead man who had pulled out his tongue hanging above his head a few feet away, and at the corpse holes on both sides of the bank.

"Teacher feels that what the third junior brother said is right, there is a bigger crisis on the shore."

Old Taoist: "..."

Sure enough, he cried in vain just now when he was worried about the safety of cutting the sword. The old Taoist said that his old and vigorous heart was very hurt.

Just when the three of them were discussing how to get past the tongue-tucking dead people in front of them.

wow——

wow——

slam-la-

"Shh, there's movement!"

Jin An made a silent gesture.

The sound of the water was getting closer and closer. From another waterway in the corpse cave, a raft pierced through the darkness. In the faint phosphorus fire of the corpse cave, it also entered the corpse cave and appeared at a place ten feet away from them. .

On that raft.

She is a country witch.

"Little brother, it's the country witch. He entered the Thousand Corpse Cave before us, but unexpectedly he arrived later than us." The old Taoist whispered.

If it weren't for a large number of corpses stranded in this corpse cave, and the phosphorous fire acted as a light source, it would be impossible for the old Taoist priest to see clearly in the closed environment of the cave.

In the darkness, Jin An happily grinned, showing a mouthful of white and clean teeth: "This only shows that our ability to sharpen swords is stronger than these country witches and Mr. Yin and Yang."

The old Taoist listened.

It's true.

Immediately also happy.

"Little brother, it seems that the complex waterways in the cave of thousands of corpses will eventually gather in the same place. If you want to enter the tomb in the cave of thousands of corpses, you must first go through these hurdles."

The old Taoist said softly again.

The country witch who was ten feet away seemed to have noticed something, turned her head to look around, and then found Jin'an, the old Taoist priest, and Jianjian who had arrived one step ahead of her.

But this country witch is withdrawn and surly.

Get used to working alone.

Didn't mean to say hello.

There is no intention of joining forces with Jin An and the others.

Instead, he turned his head and looked at the dead man with his tongue pulled out.

After thinking for a while about the dead man with his tongue pulled out, the country witch finally started to act.

I saw the country witch took out a few things with her, and she first spread a piece of linen on the raft.

Then he took out another jar of stuff and poured it on the linen.

What poured out of the ceramic pot was fine soil, but these fine soils were not ordinary fine soil, but grave mound soil with a heavy air of yin.

Then she moved her index finger and began to draw on the grave mound.

Finally she took out a spiritual bit.

Because it was far away, Jin An didn't see who was enshrined on your spiritual tablet, but it should be the ancestor of the country witch.

In the end, the country witch took out a bowl and plate, put it upside down on the graveyard, and invited the dish fairy?
Jin An was taken aback.

Even Jin An was shocked by this country witch who went to play with Die Xian in an ancient tomb full of dead people.

Others are living people playing with living people to invite Die Xian.

This one is even worse.

Playing with the ancestor's spiritual bit and asking for a dish fairy?
"Fushi?"

It was an old Taoist who had more knowledge than Jin An, and then explained what a Fushi is.

Fuji is the most commonly used method of divination among the people, but according to different geography, there are also narrowly called Jiangbi, Qingxian, Buzigu, Jiaji, etc. in some places.

For example, asking for dish immortals, asking for pen immortals, and inviting chopsticks immortals are all one kind of inviting immortals.

Please divide the immortals into ghost immortals and gods and Buddhas.

In addition to inviting dish immortals, pen immortals, chopsticks immortals, etc., you can also invite Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and magic soldiers and generals.

"This is the cave of thousands of corpses and ancient tombs. Most of them are dead people, and there is still yin energy here. I feel that this country witch should not be able to invite any real gods and virtues in such a shady place. She wants It should be a ghost fairy."

"And that ghost fairy should be the one in the spirit seat."

Just as the old Taoist explained to Jin An, the Fushi on the side of the country witch had reached the most critical moment.

Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The entire corpse cave began to feel the wind blowing.

The explosion of corpse gas here.

Click!

No one expected that at the most critical moment, the spiritual seat placed opposite to him by the country witch would snap into two pieces.

The ghosts and immortals in the spiritual place were not invited out, but the country witch was backlashed, poof!

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

But backlash is much more than that.

The country witch's face was ashen, as if her time had come, she actually walked under the tongue-tucking dead man with a dull expression, she untied a rope, and put down one of the tongue-tucking dead men.

Untie the noose around the neck of the tongue-drawing dead man.

Then she put the noose around her neck.

The rope went up by itself, the country witch didn't struggle, she let the rope go up calmly, and she hanged herself to death on the top of the cave.

puff!
The throat bone was strangled by the rope, and half of the tongue was bitten off, and fell into the corpse water under the feet, and the water flowed from the mouth.

That blood volume is not at all like the normal tongue biting blood volume.

On the contrary, it seems that all the blood in the whole body is flowing backwards, gushing out from the wound in the mouth, and the blood in the whole body is flowing, and all the blood in the human body is flowing into the river under the feet.

And in the river water, there were countless white and bloated corpses stranded.

Dead Face stared straight at the hanged man on the water.

When the country witch hanged herself to death, Jin An was already on the pole and wanted to go to save people, but he was still a step late.

The country witch died too quickly.

The blood flowed backwards all over his body, and he lost his vitality in an instant.

On the contrary, it was the raft, perhaps driven by the movements of the country witch when she hanged herself, the raft was still slowly drifting forward.

Float over the feet of those tongue-drawn dead.

Successfully passed the tongue out of the dead.

Just when Jin An couldn't save the country witch, and watched the country witch hang herself so bizarrely, and his eyes sank, suddenly there was no wind on the raft that floated past the dead man with his tongue pulled out.

Blow those grave mounds.

In the body of the country sorceress who was hanged above her head, a body was shed from her body like a cicada chrysalis shedding its shell.

Surprisingly, the country witch came back from the dead and reappeared on the raft.

But at this moment, the country witch's bloody face is not good-looking.

Qi and blood pale.

Like bleeding too much.

Was seriously injured.

And the "country witch" who was hanged above her head turned into a dead body instead.

The corpse of the dead man was wearing the clothes of a ship merchant. It was the original corpse that drowned in the river and stranded in this corpse cave.

The country witch used a golden cicada to escape her shell.

He actually used a dead person to die for her once, and cheated the tongue-pulling hell.

Both Jin An and the old Taoist were shocked by the country witch.

After the country sorceress safely passed through the tongue-pulling hell, her expression relaxed, and she smiled triumphantly at Jin An and the others, then she turned pale and prepared to leave.

However, just before the country witch was about to leave, something happened!

Those hanged on the top of their heads, the dead people with their tongues pulled out, who were motionless, suddenly swayed in the wind, and the ropes around their necks spun, and those dead people with their tongues pulled out, spun around in unison, looking straight at the people who were already safe. Through the country witches at their feet.

This sudden scene frightened the country witch's face to turn pale.

"No!"

"how is this possible!"

The country witch screamed, she was doomed.
