On the third day after I came back, something big happened. The grave of old Zhangtou's family in Nancun was dug up.

Even the graves of his son, apprentice, and his wife were not spared.

The reason why the grave digging was discovered was because Lao Zhangtou's body was found by the river!

The most bizarre and terrifying thing was that the corpse of Lao Zhangtou, who had been dead for nine years, not only did not rot, but also had scales growing on his skinned body.

My eldest brother and I heard about this and went directly to Nancun.

The eldest brother came forward and added that our Huang family was the body collectors, so we were allowed to take a look at Lao Zhangtou's body.

This is also the second time, nine years later, that I saw the dead man who had been skinned and had grown scales.

Looking at Lao Zhang's dead body with its skin and scales peeled off, I felt extremely uncomfortable in my heart, as if there were ants crawling all over my body.

However, in order to verify what Mr. Xi said, I still had to bite the bullet and get closer to Lao Zhangtou's corpse.

Then, I used two chopsticks to open Lao Zhangtou's mouth.

Then, yellow soup began to flow out of Lao Zhangtou's mouth. After flowing for almost half a minute, something similar to a leech crawled out of Lao Zhangtou's mouth.

But this thing is still somewhat different from leeches. Not only is it yellow in color, but it is also smaller in size.

The dead man who almost killed me had something like this crawling out of his mouth.

However, if this thing comes into contact with air, it will turn into a puddle of yellow water within ten minutes.

After Mr. Xi saw this thing, he told me that the reason why this skinned dead man with scales can harm people is probably related to the thing.

Of course, all this is still related to the "Ghost Dragon King".

As expected, the leech-like thing that crawled out of Lao Zhangtou's mouth turned into a puddle of yellow water within ten minutes.

Half an hour later, Lao Zhangtou's corpse also began to ooze purulent water, and the smell of corpses even hit the nose even if it was more than ten meters away.

This situation is the same as what Mr. Xi told me back then.

Finally, where Lao Zhangtou's body was placed, there were only a few bones and a pool of corpse water, and nothing else.

After that, my eldest brother and I went to see where Lao Zhangtou’s family and his apprentices were buried.

Sure enough, the graves of Lao Zhangtou's family of three and his apprentice all had big holes.

But what surprised me was that their graves didn't look like they had been dug out from the outside, but rather they looked like they had been dug through from the inside.

I told my elder brother about this, and he also said that he looked similar.

If you think about this matter carefully, it will make people's hair stand on end. It is completely evil.

Not to mention how long it had been since Lao Zhangtou and the others were dead, it was weird enough that the skinned bodies did not rot and had something like fish scales growing on them.

What's more, judging from the condition of their graves, it is possible that they escaped from the graves on their own, which is even more complicated.

On the way home from Nancun and I, my eldest brother was also frowning.

Seeing my elder brother like this, I comforted him and told him not to worry too much.

My eldest brother said that I have a big heart, and even at this time, I can still laugh.

In fact, after something like this happened, how could I still be so relaxed? I was just pretending on the surface.

Because I also had a premonition that something big was really going to happen.

In particular, Lao Zhangtou's wife, son, and his apprentice are now missing, which is the biggest hidden danger.

I can be sure that the situation of the three of them must be the same as that of Lao Zhangtou.

As for why Lao Zhangtou appeared alone by the river, I'm afraid there is another reason.

My eldest brother and I returned to our home in Beicun and didn't mention these things again, mainly because we were afraid of scaring my sister-in-law and my niece.

At night, I had trouble sleeping and was tossing and turning.

As soon as I close my eyes, the skinned and scaly corpse of Lao Zhangtou will appear in front of me, and even the one that almost killed me when I was ten years old when I encountered him on a thunderstorm night at Xiye's house.

thing.

In the first half of the night, I basically struggled like this. It was not until the second half of the night that I felt sleepy and felt better.

However, when I was drowsy and in a state of half-asleep, I felt the humidity around me increase greatly, and I even started to hear the sound of water flowing.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I suddenly saw a pair of scarlet glowing eyes appearing not far from me.

These familiar eyes seemed to be engraved in the depths of my memory, reminding me immediately of the eyes I saw in the mist when I followed my father to retrieve the body for the first time.

Although the eyes that appeared in front of me were not as huge as before, they gave me the same feeling.

The sound of the river in my ears became louder and louder, and the scarlet and glowing eyes so close at hand seemed to replace my eyes.

Apart from being able to open my eyes and think, I was not only unable to move physically, but also unable to speak.

It was at this time that I suddenly felt that the jade pendant I was wearing around my neck was getting a little hot.

This was given to me by Mr. Xi. Although I didn't know exactly what happened, I felt that my limbs could move.

I immediately turned over and sat up, and the scarlet glowing eyes disappeared immediately, and there was no longer any sound of the river flowing in my ears.

Under this kind of fright, it took me a while before I finally recovered.

Then, I also discovered that the jade pendant that Master Xi gave me was already in pieces.

And on my chest, there is a small piece of skin missing!

Moreover, I quickly noticed that the room was also filled with water vapor, like a sauna.

After I came out of the room, I felt my breathing became much easier.

Of course, I didn’t alert my eldest brother’s family, but secretly came to the yard. 1

Looking back on what I just experienced, I still feel scared.

Could it be that the scarlet eyes that appeared were really the "Ghost Dragon King" as Mr. Xi said? Could this thing really harm me in this way?

The next day, I told my elder brother about this matter alone, and he was also frightened.

But my eldest brother is also lucky for me. With the jade pendant of Mr. Xi to protect me, I was able to escape this disaster.
