They couldn't help but let their imagination run wild.
After all, Miao Jiang had always been shrouded in a mysterious veil, and there were too many strange things.
Whether it was the mysterious Miaojiang voodoo, or the bizarre corpse-chasing and witchcraft culture, it always gave people unlimited space for imagination.
Not to mention that they were in a place like the mortuary.
There were either coffins or dead people around him.
The atmosphere alone was enough to scare people to death.
Monster!
When they heard the two words that came out of Old Luo's mouth, countless rural ghost stories that they had heard before flashed through their minds.
It would be abnormal if there weren't a few mountain trolls and demons in this kind of thousand-year-old forest.
Adding on the yellow paper talisman on the female corpse's spirit tablet and the line of small words under the wooden tablet, the superstitious Hua Ma Guai had already imagined countless plots.
"I heard that there are often wild beasts that transform into spirits in the uninhabited mountains. Could it be that we encountered them?”
"Shopkeeper, look at what's written here. This female corpse's real name is Haozi's second aunt Wu Shi. What's Haozi?”
"Also, we don't interfere with each other's business. This person must be a Daoist who entered the mountain. Seeing that she was still stirring up trouble after her death, he took out a talisman to see her suppress this place.”
Hua Ma Guai said each word clearly and logically. In the end, even he was convinced and believed in it.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Chen Yulou slapped him on the back of his head.
"Isn't it just an ugly and strange female corpse? Is it worth shouting like this? It's really strange."
Chen Yulou had never believed in these strange rumors.
What mountain demons, night ghosts?
He had stolen bones and looted gold for more than ten years. He had gone out to those old tombs in the mountains many times. When he was tired, he would sleep in the graves. He had never seen those.
Besides, he had been in Jianghu for so many years and had the ability to read faces.
The female corpse on the door was just a little ugly and strange. There was no demonic qi of the mountain ghost at all.
He berated Hua Ma Guai, telling him not to spout nonsense. At the same time, he also wanted to calm everyone down.
"Shopkeeper is right, how could there be so many mountain trolls and demons? If there really are, I, Old Luo, have never seen them in my life, so I can catch a few of them and raise them for fun.”
Old Crooked Luo, who was at the side, quickly echoed when he heard that.
After all, his actions just now were a little beneath his status.
Who was he? The warlord who had killed countless people in the countryside. If word got out, wouldn't he become a joke?
He took a few steps forward and looked at the corpse. He turned his head and glanced at the blind crutch." Kidnapper, I heard that your ancestor was a coroner. Can you tell how this person died?"”
The flower horse crutches were worried about how to get back at the leader.
Upon hearing Old Crooked Luo's words, he quickly went up to the female corpse and carefully studied the candlestick.
"Director Luo, this female corpse's lips are dark blue, and her pupils are unfocused with black gas. If there were no accidents, she should have died from poisoning. However, looking at this mortuary, could it be that the corpse had turned stiff and killed her?”
Not bad.
Feng Bai, who was at the side, nodded his head.
He was an expert in using poison, so he could see through it at a glance.
This flower crutch didn't look very reliable, but its ability wasn't bad.
" The coffins in this courtyard are all sealed, and there are no signs of fighting around. Moreover, there are no wounds on this female corpse…"
Elder Luo shook his head and commented.
Seeing his reaction, Hua Ma Guai, who was the best at observing people's expressions, immediately smiled and said," Of course, I'm not very good at learning, and I don't know the depth of my eyes. I don't dare to embarrass myself in front of the shopkeeper and President Luo.”
Old Crooked Luo was waiting for him to say this and nodded at him in satisfaction.
Then, he pointed at the female corpse and explained proudly.
"When I was young, I was also a corpse transporter. This thing is called standing stiff. Within seven days after a person dies, the corpse poison is poured into the corpse to prevent it from rotting.”
"This is a secret technique that is not passed down in Xiangxi. I won't say much, but as the head shopkeeper said, this is definitely not a mountain ghost, but a method to send corpses.”
It was not easy for him to find something that he could understand. As if showing off his skills, Old Crooked Man Luo told him everything about his time as a corpse herder when he was young.
When he was excited, he picked up the wine pot and took a few gulps of wine.
The others listened with great interest and clicked their tongues in wonder. After all, they usually had no chance to hear about such a folk secret technique.
Miss Hong was surprised, especially when Old Luo said that she was standing still. She could not hide the surprise in her heart.
He had heard Feng Bai say this before.
Even the head shopkeeper didn't know the reason, but Feng Bai could tell.
Just based on this ability, Feng Bai's weight in her heart increased quite a bit.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly glance behind her.
Feng Bai, who was standing in the crowd, did not change much. He continued to listen calmly. However, he seemed to have sensed something very quickly and suddenly turned his head to blink at her.
Facing that pair of smiling eyes, it was as if Miss Hong had been caught stealing food. She felt embarrassed, her cheeks burning, and her heart beating like a deer.
"President Luo is really smart. You even know such a secret technique. I didn't know before, but now I know that Commander Luo is actually a Taoist. No wonder you have such a genius.”
He waited for Old Crooked Luo to finish talking about that trivial matter.
Hua Ma Guai quickly gave him a thumbs up and smiled.
Old crooked Luo couldn't be bothered with him. He just glanced at Miss Hong. Unfortunately, the latter was completely immersed in what had just happened and didn't even look at him.
For a moment, Old Crooked Luo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He wasn't greedy, but she was the only girl here and he wanted to show off.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Shopkeeper Chen, and little brother, let's drink.”
"It's very cold in the mountains. Drink some wine to warm your bones.”
The group of people had been running on the mountain road for a whole day. It was snowing outside. Now that they were resting, their bodies were shivering from the cold.
Feng Bai didn't refuse. He squeezed his way to the fire and followed Old Crooked Man Luo and Chen Yulou to finish several bowls of liquor.
As the wine entered his stomach, his entire body instantly became hot, and the coldness from before was swept away.
However, the alcohol was also very strong. In just a few minutes, Chen Yulou and Old Crooked Luo were lying on the ground. Kunlun picked them up with each hand and sent them to the firewood room in the backyard to rest.
Thinking that he still had to enter Bottle Mountain tomorrow, Feng Bai put down his wine bowl.
Just as he was about to bid farewell to Miss Hong and go back to rest, the moment he got up, he caught a glimpse of a wet footprint on the floor at the door.
He frowned and raised his head to look at the beam under the light of the oil lamp on the table.
He happened to see a pair of murky black eyes staring at him.
