25. Chapter XXV
Beneath the giant tree is like a simple secret passage that winds and intricates, and now there are forty or fifty dry corpses hanging on top of this secret passage, like dried sausages that have been hung up in every house during the Chinese New Year.
"These are not the same as the dried corpses above, these are the ones who are really dead, and the souls have gone down to see Hades. And those dried corpses above, after a long time, the yang energy essence soul has been sucked away a little more, just like these. Zhuang Feng's voice appeared again in Bi Yuewu's mind.
Why hang it like this? Can't you just find a place to bury it?
As soon as Bi Yuewu thought about it, he heard Zhuang Feng's voice: "Put it on the ground for fear of being discovered, and in this way, you can also gather yin." ”
Did he know what she was thinking?
After knowing this answer, Bi Yuewu's heart sank.
"Why? The deity can't know your thoughts yet? The spell you and I signed could have allowed the deity to know your thoughts without a trace of mana, but the deity didn't bother to know it. ”
Then she'll talk about it secretly next time......
Bi Yuewu immediately stopped her thoughts and emptied her consciousness, she was thinking nonsense, what if she confessed all the bad things she said about Zhuang Feng behind her back?
However, Zhuang Feng didn't care about what Bi Yuewu said halfway, he asked Bi Yuewu: "Don't you wonder why some corpses were found, and some didn't?"
He said to himself in the little zombie's mind: "If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, if it is me, I will do this just to tell the rest of the people that there is a problem here, to attract the attention of mortals." ”
Maybe I can't put it down.
This tunnel is a place where the top is relatively high and full of corpses, but if it is hung in other places, it will prevent the people below from moving, maybe the owner of this place is simply thinking, the little zombie thought optimistically.
"No, it's not like that, do you remember what the mortal prince said? He invited a master to come to the house, and after he left, the master died, and became a dried corpse. I suspect that this guy's purpose is to attract people with mana and aura to come and explore the matter, so that they can take the opportunity to absorb the aura. He's fishing, using the corpse on it as bait, but unfortunately this time it's the deity, and he's going to be unlucky this time. ”
Oh, she's a zombie, and she has that faint aura extracted by absorbing Yuehua in her stomach, so the most dangerous thing is ......
Thinking of this, Bi Yuewu immediately pinched off his thoughts and secretly scolded himself for being "stupid".
Zhuang Feng calmly walked through the tunnel where the corpse was hung, as if he didn't know Bi Yuewu's thoughts.
I don't know how long I walked through this narrow and long tunnel, and there was a light in front of me.
Zhuang Feng walked over with a calm expression, as if he was not in the dark and terrifying underground at the moment, but walking leisurely in the garden.
On the left side of the road was a small waterhole, surrounded by forty-nine stone pillars with charms, each with a small iron chain, and at the other end of these chains was a man locked tightly in the water prison.
Perhaps it shouldn't be a person, but the "man" in the water had a red hair, a black charm covered his naked upper body, and his eyes glittering in the darkness behind his seaweed-like hair.
On the shore was a kneeling woman with her head bowed, and on her right hand was a small lantern that was about to be swallowed up by the darkness.
And this woman's dress is exactly the same as the Cheng Xueyi they just met, the gold-rimmed peony skirt is inevitably stained with dust, her hair is also a little messy, and the hairpin inlaid with jasper hangs diagonally on the bun. She didn't seem to be arrogant and domineering to Zhuang Feng them during the day, nor was she gentle like water in the garden just now, and she seemed to be very afraid of the man in the pool.
Cheng Xueyi said in a low voice, "...... There are two people in the house who know how to use spells today...... He already knew that the master who came last time was dead......"
The man in the waterhole moved, moving the chains around him, and the sound of iron clashing was like the hissing of snakes.
The owner of the voice said in a voice that felt as cold and damp as this tunnel, "Oh, I listen to you, it doesn't seem that you just want to tell me that a mortal who knows magic wants to kill me?"
"Mortal, what do you want to say?"
"I ...... I'm just afraid that you will kill too many people, and when the time comes, you will attract real capable people to come over......" Cheng Xueyi said this very nervously.
"Oh, are you sure those mortal Taoist priests can kill me? ”
"I definitely don't," Cheng Xueyi said hurriedly, "I'm just a little worried." ”
"What are you worried about?"
"There are too many people dying now, in case ...... What if the gods find out later?"
"Immortals?" the man in the water chuckled, "They won't care about a few mortals killed, and besides, they haven't dealt with their own mess now, how can they have the leisure to care about the life and death of mortals." If I hadn't been unaware of being imprisoned by you insidious mortals, I should have returned to the surface now. Let the world be bareland, and not a single inch of grass grows, this is really enjoyable. ”
The world is bare and there is no grass? Bi Yuewu seems to have heard similar adjectives like this.
"It's just that. What's so strange?If it's really a resentful ghost, then the resentment on your body will be delirious as soon as you touch it, and you can still be here safely?" Zhuang Feng's slightly cold voice suddenly remembered in Bi Yuewu's head.
Bi Yuewu stared at the same clan in the waterhole with wide eyes, is he the highest goal that these zombies have been striving for? Why does it look so depressed and miserable, the waterhole is black, the skin is also dark black, and I don't know how many catties of mud can be rubbed off by taking a bath, it looks like it is not as good as the zombies in their Qixiang Mountain.
"But...... However...... "Cheng Xueyi" didn't say a word for a long time.
Looking at the man in front of her, who was already a little impatient, she quickly changed the topic: "There are rumors outside now that the person who died recently was because she came back. ”
"She?"
Cheng Xueyi raised her head, showed an ugly smile, and said, "My sister." ”
From the perspective of Bi Yuewu and Zhuang Feng, she could only see Cheng Xueyi's side face, but she was still shocked.
The face was only slightly better than the dried corpses I had seen before, and the shriveled skin was still sticking to the bones, like a rotten peach.
Cheng Xueyi in her memory has always regarded her appearance as very important, but at this time, she looks terrifying.
Cheng Xueyi, how could she be reduced to turning herself into this?
She remembered that when she was a child, Cheng Xueyi once fell and knocked her forehead, and she cried earth-shattering when she broke her skin, afraid that she would break her appearance, but now she tolerated that she had become this more terrifying appearance than a ghost.
And Cheng Xueyi in her impression is definitely not panicked in this look, as if she can be frightened whenever there is a wind and grass.
Cheng Xueyi in her memory is a proud and charming woman with ruthless methods. Instead of the lust of the day, the pain and panic of the present.
Looking at Cheng Xueyi like this, and what Zhuang Feng said before about Cheng Xueyi not living for a few days, Bi Yuewu had an indescribable feeling.
There is neither the joy of the enemy's dying death, nor the sympathy for Cheng Xueyi. After all, the fire in which she died, and the pain of three days and three nights made her unable to sympathize with the woman in front of her, and those corpses in the ground were probably also credited to Cheng Xueyi.
It's just that when did the sisters become like this? hateful to each other, and one turned into a zombie afraid of the sun, a person who is not a ghost or a ghost.
When she was young, she and Cheng Xueyi got along quite well, at least there were no major conflicts.
At that time, she was living in a mess and was not close to her relatives, including her sister. But Cheng Xueyi seems to like her very much and sticks to her all the time.
Cheng Xueyi once took her to pick out jewelry and braid her hair that she was not yet proficient in. They also used to fly kites together, swim in the lake, look at flowers, and so on, all of which ordinary women would do.
Later, I don't know when it started, the mouth of the person who was gentle to him spit out sneering words, and the eyes that looked at him turned into hatred.
"Your sister, the woman who has something to do with the rain stars?"
Cheng Xueyi nodded, staring at the ground with empty eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Cheng Xueyi suddenly clasped her shoulders with her hands, and kept saying like a crazy person: "I'm afraid that she is not dead, will she plan to come back to me for revenge?" She was burned by the fire for so long and did not die, and then finally closed her eyes, but the body was not burned. And when she closed her eyes, it was raining. I remember that I made an agreement with you at that time that you would let Jue have a great drought and that after she died, I would go and pray for rain as a saint again. Could she be a youkai too? So she didn't die at all?"
"What does that have to do with me? You liked that prince at the beginning, and said that you could let me out, and begged me to do those things for you. Why do you regret it now? Afraid of retaliation from others? Don't you mortals have a saying? If you knew today, why did you bother in the first place?"
"I did it myself," Cheng Xueyi seemed to gradually calm down, "but you promised me that he would always love me, but now I feel that he is getting colder and colder to me." ”
The man in the water yawned, and his tone was impatient: "Who like you can not be cold to you? He is not in love with anyone else now, is he? That's fine, besides, you didn't take me up as agreed, and now you have the face to accuse me?"
With a wave of his hand, he threw two small black things to Cheng Xueyi's side and said, "Okay, let's take these two little guys and find time to put them on those two people." You have done it so many times, do you? ”
Cheng Xueyi picked up the things on the ground, held the black worm wriggling in his hand, and hurried away.
