Holy Bone

Chapter 764
As the eyes go dark,
call--

A gust of wind blew violently in the cave, mixed with moist water vapor and an indescribable rotten smell. The old Taoist priest, who was lying on the railing and vomited faintly, suddenly felt his shoulders sink, as if a pair of arms were resting on him in the dark. on the shoulders.

At the same time, there was a foul-smelling heavy breathing sound from behind, with a heavy rotting corpse breath, turbid and foul-smelling, making people dizzy.

The old Taoist's heart was pounding, a lazy donkey rolled over, and then quickly took out a handful of glutinous rice from the Tai Chi Eight Diagrams bag and sprinkled it on the spot behind him.

After doing all this, the old Taoist shouted nervously on the dark ship board: "Little brother, there is a water corpse in this hole on the boat! Just now, the old Taoist, if I was too slow to react, my neck would be bitten off!"

As soon as the old Taoist finished shouting, he realized something was wrong: "Oh, that's not right, it's broad daylight now, why would the water corpse dare to show up in broad daylight?"

Out of curiosity, the old Taoist still spit out a mouthful of Sanyang wine without hesitation, and then raised his mahogany sword to stab it out, lest the thing behind him would not let him go.

In fact, there is no need for the old Taoist priest to take action. As soon as there was an abnormality on the old Taoist priest's side, Jin An had already appeared beside the old Taoist priest. In the darkness, his eyes were like cold electricity, and he could see clearly what the so-called "water corpse" was at a glance. Something, he was about to make a move, when suddenly, a torch flashed in front of him, and the fire suddenly lit up in the darkness, making Jin An's eyes narrow slightly to adjust to his sight, and the boat boss held the torch in his hand to protect a big dog.

"Misunderstandings and misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Daoist don't need to be nervous. It's not some water corpse boarding the boat to harm people. It's a pet dog who loves to play. I made a little joke with Daoist just now." The boat owner said to protect the dog.

With the torch lighting, the old Taoist finally saw a big yellow dog behind the boss of the boat clearly. The temperament of the hunter is fierce and fierce.

But the most attractive thing is the pair of tricks that flash green in the dark.

At this time, the old Taoist noticed that there was more than one vicious dog in the whole fishing boat, and there were a few more pairs of tricks behind the cabin door, and several vicious dogs were staring at him and Jin An.

The boss of the boat also noticed that the old Taoist priest had been staring at the direction of the cabin. He looked back at the cabin behind him and suddenly realized what the old Taoist priest was looking at. You are not familiar with the smell of strangers, don't be nervous, Daoist Chen and Daoist Jin'an, they don't bite."

As he said that, the captain of the ship opened a wooden barrel, took out a few pieces of bone and meat and threw them to some vicious dogs. Those vicious dogs retreated back to the cabin, and then there was a sour sound of clucking and chewing bones.

Taking advantage of the time when the boat boss turned to feed the dog, the old Taoist whispered to Jin An: "Little brother, there is something wrong with those vicious dogs. Do you still remember the footprints of the beasts we found in Houchi Village? I suspect this The boss of the boat didn’t tell the truth. His vicious dogs must have been in and out of Houchi Village often, and they were raised on dead human flesh! When the two forelimbs of the big yellow dog rested on my shoulders, Lao Dao, I smelled the smell of dead people. taste!"

It's not just the dog that's wrong.

Even the boss of this ship has many doubts.

After the boat boss fed the dog, he walked out of the cabin and locked the cabin by the way. He didn't know whether it was because of locking the dog or because he didn't want outsiders to approach the cabin.

Unlike the old Taoist priests, Jin An puts the world's best in everything he does. He is tactful and full of vigor. When he sees Chuan Boss coming out, he cuts to the chase and asks: "Chuan Boss, those dogs you raise are not ordinary domestic dogs. Bar?"

The expression on the boat boss’s face was startled at first, maybe even he didn’t expect Jin’an to be so straightforward, but he has been fishing at sea all year round, and he is also a person who is used to life’s turbulent waves, so he quickly regained his composure and explained that he heard Dogs can see things that humans cannot see. In order to risk more fish for sale, he went to the mass grave to adopt a few dogs that had eaten dead human flesh. The dead breath covered up the smell of the living, so that he could fish safely around Jiutou Mountain.

"Daoist Jin'an and Daoist Chen, don't worry, my dogs are only interested in dead human flesh, not living people." The boat boss smiled and repeatedly emphasized that his dogs don't bite people.

After the boat boss finished speaking, he didn't want to say more, and told the two people not to get close to the side of the boat as much as possible, so as not to be knocked off the boat by the waves, and then walked back to the position to steer.

……

……

crackling-

Jin'an and the old Taoist each held a torch in their hands, barely illuminating the cave, and looked back and forth between the cave walls on both sides and the cave ceiling above their heads.

The two seemed to be looking at the environment in the cave, but they were whispering softly.

"Old Daoist, I feel the chill on my back, and there are a few pairs of eyes staring at my back, old Daoist, little brother, the vicious dogs kept by the boat boss in the cabin are definitely not like he said they can't bite!"

"Ah."

"Little brother, have you made any decisions?"

"Dog meat is a great tonic for cold and damp heat in the records of traditional Chinese medicine. It happens that the humidity in this cave is heavy. Old Taoist, do you want to eat dog meat hot pot?"

"?"

Little brother, something is wrong with you!

The old Taoist bared his teeth in pain!
"Little brother, stop making trouble. Those vicious dogs grew up eating human flesh from mass graves. Even if they are not afraid of the poison or smell of dog meat, they will not be able to pass the test of human ethics!" the old Taoist said nervously in a low voice.

It's not once or twice that this pair of young and old play tricks. During the conversation, the sampan boat has entered the cave of Jiutou Mountain. At this time, the cave is so dark that it is not far from the boat, and the outside sun can no longer reach here.

But along the way, I didn't even see a floating corpse of a shipwreck.

I don't know if it didn't exist.

Suddenly, a bridge tower appeared above the head. The bridge tower was made of the most common bamboo material in Jiangzhou Prefecture, like a fort suspended in a cave. Baptism and time corrosion, the bridge has long been dilapidated, with one corner missing in the east and one corner missing in the west.

Jin An even doubted whether the bridge could last for five or six years.

There are several dead people hanging on the bridge, and the dead people have rotted into bones. It is not known whether they are pirates who were hanged to death or innocent people who were hanged to death by pirates.

Passing under the feet of the hanged bones, the fishing boat walked for a while and found another bridge. This bridge is a mixture of two architectural styles. It looks like the first batch of pirates came back after being wiped out by the government. Another group of new pirates took over here and strengthened the lair on the basis of the original one.

No matter how many groups of pirates occupied Jiutou Mountain, as it was surrounded and suppressed by the government several times, too many people died, and strange things happened frequently, even the pirates who licked blood from their knives did not dare to come here to build their nests , this place has been abandoned for a long time.

Along the way, I saw some low-footed bamboo buildings built on the rock walls on both sides and the dead bones who were hanged. Boom, the boat finally docked.

There is a simple small pier that has been abandoned for many years, and it should be the building left by the pirates. There is still no body of the shipwrecked here.
