smuggler

Chapter 212
"Besides, if grandma goes in with you and hurts her life, the old fairy will break the rules. That woman has a hairpin on her head. You have to find a way to get that thing out."

Grandma Yin glanced at the cave. I don't know why, but I can vaguely see that she seems to be very afraid of the women in her eyes.

This is completely different from what I expected. Originally, I thought that if Grandma Yin was there, I just need to take out the things.

But I didn't expect that now I need to find a way by myself and take that thing out by myself.

Seeing me standing still, Grandma Yin said again, "Don't be afraid, just do what grandma said, and when you go in later, she will ask you how many things you want. No matter what she wants, you can only give it back. This is a rule that must be followed, otherwise she will see through it."

"For example, if she asked you to ask for gold, you would give her a stone, and if she asked for a pot of soil, you would bring her a pot of water. That's probably what she meant. Anyway, you must not give her what she said..."

I swallowed my saliva, glanced into the gloomy cave, and nodded a little scared.

"Then you go. Remember what I said, and nothing will go wrong."

After listening to it, I felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but turned my head and asked, "Grandma, what is that woman, why is she called Yin Pozi?"

Grandma Yin showed a strange look in her eyes, and said evasively, "You'd better not ask."

She looked up at me and said, "I'm afraid that if you find out, you won't dare to go in."

I don't know why, this sentence made me feel chills on my back, but the more it happened, the more I wanted to know.

"Grandma, just tell me, I'm so mentally prepared!" I asked bravely.

Facing my persecution, Grandma Yin had no choice but to say: "That woman is not a living person, but..."

I took a breath, widened my eyes and said, "Ghost?"

Grandma Yin shook her head and said, "To be precise, she is a mountain spirit."

The so-called mountain spirit is a dead thing similar to a zombie.

After a person dies, due to some reasons, the soul cannot leave the body and is trapped in the corpse. After a long time, the corpse is affected by resentment, coupled with the nourishment of the extremely dark environment, it will produce a corpse change.

There is a rare pattern in Feng Shui, which is specially used to raise zombies, called "Men Ying Xi Shen."

To put it bluntly, it is a thinking corpse.

As for the degree of danger, it depends on Taoism.

I don't need to ask, I know that the mountain spirit in the cave must have lived for a long time, I don't know what it looks like now, this corpse speaks, it's a bit intrusive to think about it.

After listening to his introduction, the hairs all over my body stood on end.

"Now you understand why she doesn't care what you want, you have to give it the other way around, right? Because she is a dead body, belonging to Yin, and she doesn't recognize things in the yang world. This is called yin and yang reversal."

"Grandma didn't want to say it at first, but you girl wanted to ask, but it's nothing to be afraid of. That mountain spirit has a bad memory. As long as you do what grandma says, you can't make mistakes."

Seeing that my face was ugly, Grandma Yin said with a strange look: "That mountain spirit has done a lot of harm to people. The hairpin is a treasure to keep her body immortal. If you steal the hairpin, she will also lose her body. The end must be to die, you It’s like doing a good deed.”

What happened to the mountain spirit has nothing to do with me, I only think about how to survive if I go down.

The more ink I got, the more afraid I became. I didn't ask any more questions, took a deep breath, and walked towards the cave.

When I came to the entrance of the nearby cave, I immediately smelled a faint smell of blood. There was a cold wind blowing from the cave, so I bite the bullet and ducked in with my head down.

It's very depressing inside, fear is coming from all directions, I have a feeling that my soul is out of my body, and my calves are spinning.

There is a straight passage in the cave. The cave is very humid and emits an unpleasant smell. After walking for a long time, I suddenly heard a female voice coming from inside.

"Who?" The female voice was sharp and hoarse, like a knife scraping glass.

I felt a chill down my back, thinking of Grandma Yin saying that she had a bad memory, so I bit the bullet and said, "I'm here to give you something."

"I don't remember anyone giving anything away." The woman whispered, "Oh, it seems that my head is getting weaker and weaker."

"Come in."

My heart was beating non-stop, and I walked a few steps forward, and came to an open space, the open space was about ten square meters.

There were candles all around, and by the light of the fires I saw across the clearing an old lady sitting on a shabby straw mat.

The old lady was stooped, wearing a black silk shroud, and embroidered red cloth shoes on her little feet. Just as I thought, the old lady's hair was like weeds hanging on the ground, with a metal hairpin stuck on top of her head.

I took a look at her face, the old lady was not scary, her nose and eyes could be matched, but her face was covered with a thick layer of red rouge, her lipstick was messy, and she matched with that shroud, which made her look beautiful. She is kind of indescribably eerie and weird.

"Come here, come closer." The old lady waved to me.

I walked over tremblingly, and she stretched out her chicken paw-like palm, and slowly grabbed my face.

I was so scared that I immediately backed away. The old lady didn't catch it, rolled her eyes upwards, and said a little unhappy: "I just touch what you look like, are you afraid of a fart?"

Only then did I notice that the elf looked like a blind man, with a pair of pale eyes tossing and turning, looking scary, the pupils all disappeared.

I was overjoyed, she couldn't see, so I was more sure of my success.

When the old lady heard that I was not moving, she pursed her lips and retracted her hands, muttering about something.

"Did Eunuch Mei ask you to come?"

The old lady's throat seemed to be pinched by something, and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

Eunuch Mei! ?

I was at a loss, but the old lady was a bit out of her mind, most likely a psychopath, so I hurriedly said, "Yes, Eunuch Mei asked me to serve you."

"Go get me a basin of water, I'll wash my hair first." The old lady nodded, pointed to the water tank in the corner, and ordered me in a hoarse voice.

I found a wooden basin from the ground, walked to the water tank, took a look in, and was terrified!

The water tank was filled with thick bloody water, with a few human skulls floating on it. The bloody smell that was smelled before should be from the water tank.

The scene in front of me made my throat thump, and the back of my neck felt cold. The old lady was a little impatient when she heard me silent, and said fiercely, "Damn maid, what are you dawdling about, hurry up!"

I was terrified by the cock's throat, and I was just about to fight with fear, when I suddenly thought of the reversal of yin and yang that Grandma Yin told me.

The old lady was wearing a black shroud. According to Grandma Yin, she was already dead, and things in the yang world were not recognized, so they had to be reversed.

Should I give her a pot of fire now! ?
But I didn't bring a lighter, so I couldn't start a fire. If I gave her a pot of blood, it would be a shame. Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and filled half a pot of soil on the ground.

The old lady's skinny and dry paws touched the basin, and quickly retracted and said sharply, "I told you to bring water, what is this you are holding?"

My whole body went numb, and I was ready to turn around and run away at any time if something went wrong. The old lady said again, "I don't know where my concubine's personal maid, Lan Xiang, has gone. If you can catch up to half of her, this concubine will reward you a lot."

I looked around this dilapidated and smelly cave, and it was hard to imagine what she could reward me.
