Corpse pile?

After listening to Li Qingyang's explanation, a question kept spinning in my mind: Why did Dandao have to make a corpse accumulation site?

This in itself does not make sense. Besides, the Danshi on the island were proficient in pills and knew all about any kind of medicine, would they know that there would be spiritual creatures in the corpse field that could restrain the pills?

I was thinking about it, but I heard Li Qingyang shouting, "Over there...... It's over there! Go a hundred steps east and see if there's a stump under the water!"

I hesitated for a moment before cautiously walking in the direction he had pointed out. Li Qingyang kept chattering: "Yes, that's the direction...... Put your hand in the water, touch this place, look carefully, and here it is...... Yes, this is it......"

Although I couldn't see the bottom of the water, my palm touched a broken stump: "There is a tree ...... here" Before I finished my words, a chill suddenly rose in my vest. I could clearly feel something sneaking from underwater, creeping up at the bottom of the stump, looking from the bottom up at my palm as it touched the stump.

My body suddenly tensed, but Li Qingyang said: "Okay, okay, walk two hundred steps south along this stump, and you will see a cave." ”

Although I heard Li Qingyang's words, I didn't dare to get up immediately. I don't know what's hidden underneath the water, and if he strikes while I'm up, I'll be out of the question.

Li Qingyang said at this time: "You don't care about what's under the water, if you don't touch it, that thing won't hurt people." You stand up and walk with your feet in the water for a while, just don't step on anything. ”

I tried to lift my hand, but I felt something underwater slowly rise to the surface as I slowly straightened up. I clearly felt that the other party was looking at my face through the muddy sewage just a few inches from the surface of the water, and I even felt that I could just blow on the surface of the water to see the other person's true face.

Li Qingyang said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about it, slowly retreat, as long as you don't touch it, it'll be fine." ”

I tried to take two steps backwards, and a herringbone wave of water followed my steps.

I took three steps back, and the other man moved three times in a row, each time stopping less than a foot away from me, neither making a move nor resurfacing.

Li Qingyang hurriedly said: "I told you, leave it alone, it doesn't hurt people." Hurry up, and when it gets dawn, you won't be able to enter the corpse field. The entrance to the corpse field only appears at night, and when it gets dawn, you'll have to wait another day. ”

It's getting dark, but I haven't found the entrance to the corpse yard yet. In a hurry, I didn't care if what Li Qingyang said was true or not, so I turned around and walked in the direction he pointed.

The waves of water moving under my feet followed me step by step. In an instant, I felt something burst out of the water behind me. Suddenly, the shadow of the other party came from behind me, all the way over my head, and reflected in the water. I suddenly looked back behind me, but there was nothing behind me but the waves of the water that floated quietly.

Before I could put my heart down, my heel touched something.

That thing went around behind me again?

I was startled, and subconsciously paddled back with my feet for half a circle. I only felt as if my heel had touched someone's waist, and the other person was obviously taken aback and quickly moved a few feet back.

The sound of a human paddling suddenly rising behind me, and I turned to look behind me again. I almost reached out and drew my knife as I watched the waves retreat sideways into the distance. Li Qingyang said coldly: "If you don't dare to leave, just wait here until dawn! I'll tell you where you should go when it's dawn, as long as you can wait." ”

"Shut up!" I carried Li Qingyang's head, wading through the water and walking quickly to the south, a mountain wall hidden in the mist gradually appeared in front of my eyes.

But the further I went, the more blurred my vision became, and a thick fog rose from beneath the mountain wall to cover half of the mountain. Looking at the mountain in the fog, I could only see the outline of the peak, but nothing else could be seen clearly.

I said in a deep voice, "Where is the cave you are talking about?"

Li Qingyang replied, "It's where the fog rises." Listen carefully, is there any movement of water around here? It's water flowing into the hole. ”

When I stopped, I heard the sound of running water, which was not far away or too urgent, and sounded like it was slowly pouring into a passage.

I followed the sound of the water for some distance and came across a cave. At the entrance of the cave, a stone platform about half a person high was built with bluestone, and the water that overflowed the stone platform flowed down the hole to the ground, and the fog that covered the mountain wall also gushed out of the cave.

Li Qingyang said: "You can see it clearly, the corpse poison that swells in the corpse accumulation ground all the year round is the reason why no one dares to approach. Even Danshi didn't dare to easily try to step into the corpse field. ”

I said in a deep voice, "Why do you want me to come over when no one dares to enter?"

Li Qingyang explained: "The corpse accumulation ground, Danshi can't get close, but ordinary people may not be able to enter. The corpse poison here is different from other places, to be clear, there is resentment in the corpse poison. ”

"Danshi is also a member of the Dao Sect, and alchemy is also a cultivator. They are not afraid of corpse poison, but they are afraid of resentment and calamity to disturb the Dao heart, so they will not go deep into the corpse accumulation ground. But ordinary people are different, because you don't have any Dao heart to speak of. ”

I said coldly again, "You're not finished, are you?"

"Hehe......" Li Qingyang smiled awkwardly, "Actually, the best way to walk into the corpse accumulation ground is that you also have resentment in your heart." The grievances of the living often overlap with the grievances of the dead, so that you are safe and do not even have to fear the poison of the corpse. ”

Li Qingyang still didn't tell the truth. I've seen legends about zombies. In all the legends of China, zombies are supported by a condensed grievance in their chests, in other words, the corpse qi on the zombie is a transformation of grievances.

Legend has it that the four zombies formed in ancient times were all because they were treated unfairly, so they became zombies with resentment.

The greater the resentment in my heart, the more likely it is that I will absorb the corpse poison and become a zombie.

I said slowly, "Can the zombies keep their original consciousness?"

Li Qingyang was silent for a long time before saying, "It depends on how strong your willpower is." If you can get out of the cave before you're completely corpsed, maybe you'll remember what you're going to do, or else......"

Li Qingyang's words have long been in my expectation. Legend has it that low-level zombies have no mind, and only know how to hunt and eat according to their instincts, and it is still unknown whether those mythical high-level zombies exist or not.

I looked at the entrance of the cave again, and walked towards the cave - for the sake of Siruo, I had to make a bet on whether I could hold the corpse poison.

As I strode forward, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "Stop!"

When I followed the prestige, I saw Xue Yulu standing a few meters away from me, and behind her was the whole team of Qing soldiers. The corpse of the general stood behind Xue Yulu like a guard, holding a long knife in his hand, and looked at me coldly.

I glanced at Xue Yulu lightly: "I'm busy, you'd better not bother me." ”

Xue Yulu stepped forward and said, "I just knew what you were going to do so that I came here to stop you." ”

Between my eyes were slightly cold, Xue Yulu had already said coldly: "A demon girl of the Demon Gate, is it worth your hard work? Give up the corpse accumulation ground, I can act as if nothing has happened, you are still the detective of the Blood Cloak Hall." Otherwise, don't say it's you Wang Huan, even the Blood Clothes Hall will be implicated. ”

I looked at Xue Yulu with cold eyes, and roughly calculated the distance I would have to reach the cave.

If the other party makes a move, I should be able to jump into the cave before the Qing soldiers catch up.

Xue Yulu said coldly: "You don't have to think about how to escape, if you dare to jump from here, I will immediately lead the troops back to chase and kill the demon girl." They're not the same as the trash you're carrying. ”

My right hand holding the knife suddenly tightened: "You are looking for death!"

"The word 'death' doesn't apply to us. Xue Yulu said proudly, "Provoking the strong is looking for death, for you, you can't talk about these two words." ”

Before I could speak, Li Qingyang said first: "Don't believe her. Faceless women are not so easy to deal with, that forest is all under her control, and if they dare to enter, they will die or live. ”

Xue Yulu laughed and said, "What he said makes some sense. But, Wang Huan, do you dare to bet? Aren't you afraid that when you drag your body back with a body that is about to turn into a zombie, you see a corpse?"

Xue Yulu's face sank and said, "After I killed Si Ruo's demon girl, I will also hang her head on a tree, just to wait for you to come back." ”

The moment the murderous intent burst out in my eyes, Xue Yulu continued: "Wang Huan, you don't have to put on that face. Since you joined the Blood Cloak Hall, you have been the public enemy of the Five Veins, and even if there is no demon girl, I will still kill you. ”

"Back then, the torture hall disposed of how many god-probes who shouldn't have died, and they were merciless when they killed people. Therefore, I will not have the slightest sympathy for you. I just want to watch you in a dilemma, to watch you be tortured to death. ”

"Go back, go back and stay by your woman's side, watch her die slowly, hold her corpse and cry, and then think about seeking revenge on us!"

Xue Yulu said with a gloomy face: "However, you will never have a chance to take revenge. Because, we will always be stronger than you. When you live, you can only wait day and night for when we will die of old age, or hope for an illusory retribution. ”

Xue Yulu waved his hand after a pause: "Catch him back." ”
