Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Lao Yangpi's language skills were limited, and he spoke confusingly. Fatty and I were confused, but we finally understood what he meant. In Lao Yangpi's hometown, there is a sandy land, and this area is arid. There is little water, but the soil in the middle of the sandy land is indeed very moist and eerie. It has been said since ancient times that it was a corpse raising ground. The corpses can be buried in it to prevent it from rotting. In fact, some weird plants grow on that land.

Legend has it that this plant was introduced from Yuansha City thousands of miles away in the Western Regions in ancient times. This plant is extremely poisonous and its whole body resembles a human shape, a bit like an abnormally large ginseng, but it is dozens or even hundreds of times larger. , it itself has nothing to do with ginseng. There is no accurate name for it in the mainland. It is only generally called corpse ginseng or ghost ginseng. In ancient times, it was called "Obulu" when returning to China.

This thing thrives in dark, putrid soil. Some tombs eroded by moisture, or ancient river beds where silt accumulates, are very suitable for its growth. Its roots can go deep into the ground for several feet. It is said to be a plant, but it can also extend its roots. Humans and animals must be strangled for food, just like a huge man-eating grass. If the ground is dug up to find this plant, no matter whether humans or animals are exposed to its poisonous gas, they will definitely die.

Most of the methods adopted are to confirm the location where the Oshiburus grows, and then dig four ditches around it. The depth of the ditch is based on the large water tank that can accommodate the rural area. From the bottom of the ditch, grave bricks are piled up to form the shape of a brick kiln. , even the upper part was completely sealed. Before sealing, several vicious dogs were locked inside, and then completely sealed with tomb bricks to form a secret room.

The vicious dogs locked in the brick room have difficulty breathing. After a burst of roaring, they instinctively dig into the mud with their paws in an attempt to dig out a ditch. Once the extremely poisonous plant Oshibulus is dug out, the vicious dogs will If you are infected with poisonous gas, you will die immediately.

There are also ways to directly tie the dog's legs to the poisonous roots with leather straps. The person hides far upwind and whips away. If the dog is frightened and runs away, it will uproot the roots. Although this method saves time and effort, it is not safe. , often causes the excavator to be poisoned and die, so it is not as widespread as the first method.

After the "Oshibulushi" was unearthed back home, it would not take long before the poisonous properties of the dog were lost as it lost its earthy properties. At this time, people went over and took the poisoned dog corpses together with the extremely poisonous "Oshibulushi" Buried back in the pit together, and dug up a year later, the dog corpse became integrated with the roots of "Oshibulushi". Although the corpse was rotten and smelly, it could still squirm like a living creature in a place without sunlight. Cut it open and expose it to the sun to cool it. Once dried, it can be sold as a very valuable medicine.

A little grinding wine can make a person paralyzed, as if he is half-dead. Even if his hands and feet are cut off with a knife or ax, he will not feel anything. After a few days, the antidote will be given to him, and his activities will be as good as before. It returned to normal. It is said that in ancient times, Hua Tuo could perform cesarean rupture and abdominal rupture to treat diseases, and he always used this anesthetic. There are records of its use in the Imperial Palace Hospital in the Song Dynasty.

In his hometown in the northwest, Lao Yangpi saw someone digging up wasteland and digging up graves and unearthed this poisonous humanoid creature. That time he dug up a long list of corpses, all of which were villagers who were killed inadvertently passing by nearby at night. After the person is rolled up, the toxins are transferred into the corpse. Although the deceased is dead, the corpse is like a corpse. The hair and nails are still growing. They have been submerged by Yin energy for a long time. When encountering Yang energy, they move. No matter what they catch. Living humans and animals will become part of the nutrients of this strange ginseng after being poisoned.

We speculated on the situation of the brick room. It seemed that it was a place specially built by the Japanese to cultivate nerve-paralyzing drugs. According to legend, the flesh of zombies buried in the corpse ground was called "suffocating fragrance" and could be used as medicine. These have almost grown into Plant carrion is also a strange medicine, but its cultivation method is really outrageous.

I was about to ask Lao Yangpi if there was any way to completely eliminate this monster, otherwise it would not be the end if it blocked the door. But before I could say anything, I suddenly thought of something fatal, and my body suddenly became cold. , Fatty and I struggled with those rotting corpses for a long time. We were splashed with a lot of smelly and unpleasant juice, and we were probably poisoned.

The fat man and I quickly looked at our exposed hands. Our hands were mixed with too many things and were so dirty that we couldn't see anything. However, there seemed to be a layer of tiny pimples on the backs of our hands, which felt slightly itchy. , there are no other symptoms for the time being. Although I don’t know if it is a sign of poisoning, it is probably not a good sign.

There is no cure for the louse poison that Ding Sitian was infected with. Unexpectedly, Fatty and I were also infected one after another. My mood was very complicated. But one thunder is strong and two thunders are resistant. If there are too many lice, I won’t bite them. If there are too many tents, I won’t worry. , this is already a messy situation, it’s not a big deal to add some more trouble. At worst, the three of us will go to see Marx together.

The young people of our time do not have very complicated thoughts and feelings, and the education we received since childhood prevents us from knowing how to write the word "difficulty". Is there anything in the world that can be difficult for a revolutionary soldier? So I didn't take the big worries too seriously. I quickly put aside the worries about whether I had been poisoned and asked Lao Yangpi if there was anything I could do.

Lao Yangpi shook his head and sighed, there is nothing that can be done. The poison that returned home will die immediately after leaving the soil. After a while, the Yin Qi will dissipate, and it will probably not move. For now, he can only imitate the land man and squat here and wait, but who knows what will happen. The root of the thing is so long. If there is still part of it that is connected to the earth, we will be strangled and poisoned by it as soon as we go out.

Just when we were helpless, we suddenly heard a strange movement above our heads. The fat man and I raised the engineer lighting tube and looked up. At the interface between the wall and the ceiling, there were several narrow windows connected to the corridor. The demon ginseng outside the basement door. The roots broke through the window and were trying to get in for a sneak attack. The fat man swung the knife to chop the roots that had reached into the basement. He only heard the sound of scratching the leather bag. The rotten liquid splashed where the knife fell, and the corpse looked like tentacles. The roots quickly shrank back.

Only then did we discover that although the door and wall of this basement are strong, they are not tight. There are many air holes and transom windows, which can easily allow the other party to take advantage of it. This basement seems to be a data storage room, with many similar files. There were iron cabinets and wooden boxes for documents. The fat man and I pushed the iron cabinets to block all the gaps on the outside.

There is an extremely thick iron cabinet at the end of the room. This is the best defensive object, but no matter how hard the fat man and I push it, it doesn't move at all, as if it has taken root in the ground. I illuminate the engineer. I adjusted the light beam of the tube and looked at the iron cabinet carefully. I suspected that there was a secret door here that needed to be opened and closed. This kind of plot was common in anti-special movies of our time.

The fat man and I made random guesses, but unexpectedly this time it was actually covered. When I followed the edge of the iron cabinet and moved the light to the corner, I was shocked to see a piece of paper stuck in the gap between the iron cabinet and the wall. A human hand, with withered purple claws and animal hair. Like most of the corpses in this research institute, they died due to some sudden and unknown reasons. After death, they were caused by the special environment near the Hundred Eyes Cave. Such abnormal signs of corpse transformation.

There seemed to be a lot of space behind the gap where the corpse was stuck, but I couldn't see clearly even after looking at it for a long time with a light bulb. The door of the basement was currently blocked by the corpse ginseng that grew into one with the zombie. , if there is a passage behind this iron cabinet, maybe we can leave from this secret passage, and this secret passage is built weirdly, and there is no way that the things we need are stored in it.

The fat man and I were convinced of this exciting guess. The fat man immediately groped around to find the mechanism to open the iron cabinet. I was not busy doing it. I felt that something was wrong with the secret door of the iron cabinet, but I thought for a moment that something was wrong. I don’t know, I took a breath to try to calm my emotions as much as possible, my mind was spinning rapidly, I thought that the body stuck in the gap between the iron cabinet and the wall might have planned to escape into the secret room in an emergency, but because he died Suddenly, as soon as he opened the disguised iron cabinet and entered the secret passage, he died immediately. It was not like he was trapped alive by the iron cabinet, but the iron cabinet that automatically returned to its position clamped his body.

Also, this research institute is heavily guarded. It seems that there is no need to create such a hidden secret door in the already very hidden underground facility. Unless the space behind this door is a secret among secrets, it is very likely that even the Japanese military research Most of the people in the facility don't know that only some leaders in the organization are in control of things inside. The corpse stuck after death should be the leader of the devil's cave, but why is the corpse's arm exposed? Outside, is this normal way to die? Could it be that he was not escaping inside, but was about to escape from it? This secret room within a secret room...

My mind was wandering around, and I was making random guesses. The fat man had touched a protruding floor tile under a table. The location was very hidden and inconspicuous. If he hadn't touched the tiles one by one, there would be no way to find it. , he peeled it off for a few times, but nothing happened, and then stepped down with his feet. The force of this step was quite strong, and the floor tiles sank a centimeter or two under his steps. With a rumble, the iron cabinet was retracted to the side and flashed out. Coming from a narrow aisle, maybe because he exerted too much force, or maybe he stepped on the mechanism too much, the movable iron cabinet retracted into the wall, but it no longer automatically restored itself as I expected.

There is a secret door in this corridor. The door is wide open, and deep in it is a larger basement. The fat man thought that this secret room was used to store medicine and food, and he was about to step in anxiously. I hurriedly blocked it. At the entrance of the passage, he said to Fatty and Lao Yangpi: "Look at the zombie trapped in the passage. His head and arms are facing outwards. This posture probably means that at the moment before his death, he was Escape from the secret room instead of hiding in the secret room for refuge, where..."

I had just finished speaking when I heard a loud noise, and the wooden chair at the top of the door was suddenly smashed into several pieces. Lao Yangpi, who was sitting behind the door, was shocked and dragged Ding Sitian away in a hurry. I looked over with a light bulb. , I saw the iron door opened, and a strange face like an old woman poked in from the door. This alien plant was shaped like a ginseng, but its shape was far more ferocious than the ginseng. This time, I saw it very clearly. The demon ginseng Its face is full of wrinkles, and the two huge bags under its eyes are particularly obvious. I think it is more like a semi-organism that lives in the soil and sucks the juice from corpses to survive than it is a pure plant.

Not to mention facing its ugly face, just smelling the damp and smelly smell of grave soil on its body already makes people feel swollen and dizzy, and now we have no choice but to step back. Lao Yangpi and I picked up Ding Sitian, and the fat man slashed the tentacles that kept extending out with a long knife. The four of us were forced to retreat into the secret room behind the iron cabinet.

I was worried that the fat man would be alone and die. After entering the secret room, I didn't care about the surrounding environment. I handed Ding Sitian directly to Lao Yangpi, then turned around to meet the fat man at the secret door, trying to close the secret door and resist the attack. The demon ginseng was coming, but in the panic, he couldn't find the mechanism inside the secret room.

In desperation, the fat man pushed the zombie out of the corridor, and one of the demon ginseng's tentacles immediately wrapped it up in the dense roots. I took this opportunity to close the door of the secret room firmly, and talked to the fat man. Together we searched for everything we could find and put it behind the door. Only then did we see that this huge hidden room was filled with large cabinets containing specimen bottles. We knocked over many glass bottles containing human organs and strange-shaped objects. The dead animals were strewn all over the floor, and a strong smell of antiseptic potion suddenly emitted from the basement.

We were in a frenzy that was close to hysteria, and our bodies were close to exhaustion. Seeing that the door was temporarily blocked, our tense spirits relaxed a little, and I suddenly felt that there was no root under my feet. The pain in the wound on my shoulder was unbearable, so I took a few steps back, trying to find something. I found a place to sit down and take a breath. There happened to be a stone platform behind me. I sat on it in the dark without looking carefully. After I sat down, I felt an unusually cold feeling behind me. I turned my hand back and found that my fingers touched something. The cold, concave and convex metal object was touched casually, and it turned out to be a metal mask in the shape of a human face. I was startled, and immediately thought of the masked female corpse of the Xianbei woman on the mural. I quickly turned around and used the engineer lighting tube to shine it. On the stone platform like an autopsy table, there was indeed a female corpse in ancient costume lying with a golden mask on her face. The metal mask gave off bursts of quiet light under the dim yellow light of the lighting tube.

Fatty and Lao Yangpi also noticed something was wrong and came to watch. The invisible force of death made our whole bodies tremble. The engineer lighting tube hanging on our chests also fluctuated with the rapid breathing rhythm. Maybe I was dazzled for a moment. When the light from the lighting tube moved, the mask of the female corpse was shaken by the flowing light beam, and it seemed that it came to life. The originally calm, solemn and expressionless face on the mask seemed to be facing us. The beasts began to move.
