Chapter 87: How Could It Be You (Part I)
Night has come, and under the deep night sky, there is a remote place in the Valley of Forgotten Worries. The breeze blows here, and in the darkness, the trees around make an irregular rustling sound. The sounds of a few night owls made people shudder to hear. It is as if it is a song from the deepest part of hell, and the confused souls of the dead gradually follow this song to the door of another world.
There were graves all over the scene, and in the dark, there were two other figures digging frantically. Black sand shadows flew back and forth. "I said... I said, Brother Feng, do we have to do this? Dig a grave, this... This is a curse!"
"Work faster and talk less nonsense. Haven't you been digging with me for so long? ”
As they dug in, the two men spoke softly.
Yes, these two figures in the dark are Mo Xiaofei and Wu Feng. Ever since hearing about what had happened in the Valley of Forgotten Worries before, Wu Feng had the urge to check on the corpse. At first, when he said his thoughts, Mo Xiaofei was almost taken aback. You know, the dead are greater. The fact that the deceased, who had just been buried in the ground, suddenly dug up his house again, was much more exciting than those acts of abduction and abduction.
But the stimulus is the stimulus, but....
"Oops... Oh, my God.... Finally... Finally dug it up. I said, Brother Feng, everyone is dead, what else do you have to see?"
After the efforts of the two, the body was finally seen again. But as soon as he saw the dried corpse in front of him, Mo Xiaofei had a splitting headache, and he hurriedly measured his eyes to the side and covered his nose with his hand.
It didn't matter if he measured his head, he immediately took in all the graves around him. In an instant, an indescribable sense of guilt swept through his heart, and his heart was beating wildly as if someone was hiding in his chest, and he was hammering his heart with a hammer from the inside out.
"Amitabha, Amitabha. The ancestors are not what I want to dig, but they are.... Be.... Oops, anyway, whether it's me or Brother Feng, we are forced to do so. Don't come out here to disturb your rest. Be sure not to come out. We'll leave as soon as we're done, and we'll burn incense for your ancestors more in the future, don't be angry!"
Wu Feng squatted down, his eyes intently looking at the dried corpse under him. Taking advantage of the moonlight, seeing the terrible face of the dried corpse and the hollow eye sockets, I couldn't help frowning slightly. When he was thinking, he suddenly heard Mo Xiaofei's voice. In desperation, he couldn't help but slap his hand on his face.
He shook his head and sighed softly, ignoring his friend. He continued to look at the dried corpse. After careful observation, he gently touched the body of the dried corpse with his hand.
The more he observed, the deeper Wu Feng's brows furrowed. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Wu Feng stood up suddenly, and his whole person was almost frozen.
Seeing him suddenly like this, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul. Mo Xiaofei was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Feng.... How are you?"
Wu Feng's face looked even more gloomy under the moonlight. I only heard him take a long breath and say in a heavy tone: "Could it be.... Could it be that the corpse demon was not destroyed, but instead infiltrated the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows with us?"
Hearing this, Mo Xiaofei was shocked and hurriedly said, "What? Brother Feng, do you mean .....?"
Without waiting for Mo Xiaofei to finish speaking, Wu Feng interrupted him and said, "Xiaofei, you may not know. When the corpse demon rushed out of the Dark Dragon Locking Heaven Array, he had sucked a lot of blood. And when Li Wuxian and the three masters of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave were drained of their blood again, they wanted to be the same as the corpse in front of them. ”
When he said this, Mo Xiaofei became more and more frightened. Although he had not participated in that operation, he had learned the thrilling extent of the incident from the same gate where he went. In addition, he had always believed in Wu Feng, and couldn't help but panic: "Brother Feng, don't scare me." The Corpse... Haven't you already destroyed the corpse demons?"
Wu Feng sighed: "At that time, his physical body had indeed been destroyed, and he tried in vain to occupy my physical body with his own spirit to take it. Thankfully I have...."
Just as he was about to say the Six Realms of Fatian, Wu Feng suddenly stopped talking. The divine power that flows through the Fa Tian is incomparably amazing, and it must not be said lightly. It's not that he doesn't believe in Mo Xiaofei, but sometimes he is afraid that the wall has ears. This matter must not be easily revealed. Otherwise, it is very likely to bring death to Mo Xiaofei. After all, if something like this happened in the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, he must be more careful in his actions.
"Brother Feng, what are you thankful for?
Listening to Mo Xiaofei's question, Wu Feng gently patted him on the shoulder with his hand and said softly: "It's nothing, this matter is by no means simple." Tomorrow I will inform the valley lord of this matter, and ask him to investigate it closely in the valley. At that time, you will definitely be able to find the real culprit behind the scenes. ”
Since Wu Feng said so, Mo Xiaofei didn't ask any more, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart. The two then buried the body and returned.
The next day, Wu Feng found Long Zhan alone and told him about last night. When Long Zhan heard that he had gone to the ancestral grave and dug up the body, he was immediately furious. I couldn't help but slapped the table with my hand and got up and shouted, "Wu Feng, you... You're so daring. ”
On the third day, the ancestral tomb of the Valley of Forgetting Worries is the resting place of the ancestors of the valley for generations. The burial places are arranged in a neat and orderly manner according to generations, and all the children in the valley will be buried in them. Unless the body is destroyed, or someone who cannot be brought back, it will be buried in the form of a clothed mound.
This can be said to be the most awe-inspiring place in the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, but Wu Feng dared to go to dig a grave, how could Long Zhan not be angry?
Facing Long Zhan's angry questioning, Wu Feng's face should not be. Naturally, he didn't tell Mo Xiaofei about what he was leading to, but took it all by himself.
He looked at Long Zhan and said, "Gu Master, Feng'er may have been a little hasty, but it was also a helpless move. Because I suspect that it was none other than someone else who killed this fellow disciple, and it was probably a monster with whom I had a fight. ”
"Monster?" Long Zhan forcibly suppressed his anger and sat back in his seat. The two are in the side room at the moment, facing each other. Looking at Wu Feng, who was kneeling on one knee below, Long Zhan said, "Tell me what kind of monster it is." ”
Wu Feng's face was solemn, and he said clearly word by word: "I suspect that it was the corpse demon who did it." ”
"Corpse Demon?" Hearing this, Long Zhan was immediately shocked. The whole person was like being struck by lightning, and his body bounced up like a spring. "Why do you think so?"
Wu Feng said: "Gu Master, do you know that the method of cultivating the corpse demon is to ingest a large amount of blood? On that day, the disciple turned into the Dark Dragon Locking Heaven Array in the Yin Wind Ridge, and witnessed the process of him ingesting the blood of the living people. At that time, the tragic situation of Li Wuxian and the three masters of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave was the same as that of the same family. ”
When Long Zhan heard this, he had a splitting headache. He sat back in his seat in a daze, and for a moment he was also lost in thought. He was silent for a long time before he said, "Even so, you shouldn't secretly kill our ancestors..."
The word "tomb" was really a little unspeakable, and Wu Feng hurriedly said: "Gu Master, it is indeed Feng'er's fault to privately disturb the ancestral tomb and disturb the purity of the ancestors. But that's not what we're going to focus on now. If that evil thing is really this demon, we have to guard against it!"
Long Zhan pondered for a moment and asked, "Feng'er, let me ask you." Didn't the corpse demon have already been destroyed by you in the Yin Wind Ridge that day?"
Wu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, but I only destroyed his physical body." This demon is unfathomable, if the spirit is not extinguished, and takes the opportunity to invade the disciples of my sect to borrow the body to resurrect the soul, it will be bad. ”
There is indeed such a possibility, Long Zhan frowned, thought about it, and said lightly: "Feng'er, come here." ”
Wu Feng snorted, got up and approached Long Zhan. Long Zhan asked, "Is there any way you can lure this demon out?"
Wu Feng said: "Gu Master, this demon sucks the blood of my disciples, there is nothing more than one possibility. ”
"Oh, what maybe, tell me about it. ”
"In the battle that day, the devil was defeated. The body is destroyed, and even if the spirit is not destroyed, it must be extremely weak. If he infiltrates the bodies of other disciples in our sect, he must not be fully powerful. I want to come here to suck blood, in order to make myself fully recover and return to my peak state again through this method. ”
Long Zhan sighed, nodded again and again, and said, "It is indeed very likely. So what do you want to do?"
Wu Feng said: "Since he can kill the first one, he will inevitably kill the second one." Valley Lord, this matter has come out, and if you are not prepared, it will definitely make you suspicious. But we didn't go to the inspection, but we wanted to arouse his suspicions. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's very simple, if we don't do anything, we will definitely make this demon act into account. On the contrary, they dare not act rashly. The corpse demon is cunning, and it may not be easy for us to patrol it. Mistakenly open the door and let him come nonsense. He was concerned and did not dare to act rashly. I will endure again and again. But can he get it for one day, but for ten or twenty days?"
Hearing this, Long Zhan suddenly understood, couldn't help but smile, pointed at Wu Feng with his finger, and said, "You kid, it's okay to be really bad." You're trying to make that devil unbearable. When the time comes, he will take the plunge and strike again. ”
"Yes, we only need to line up a person with a high martial arts wall to secretly observe the movement in the valley. As long as there is a disturbance, it can be captured in the first time. ”
Long Zhan thought for a moment, slowly got up and walked forward. I saw him standing with his hands in his hands, and suddenly stopped ten steps away, turned his back to Wu Feng and said, "If you want to send someone, you must be a person with a strong soul." The whereabouts of this demon are still mysterious, and I don't know which one is hiding in it. In other words, as long as they have been to the Yin Wind Ridge, they are all suspicious. But there is only one person who will not be possessed by him. ”
Long Zhan turned around and said, "Feng'er, the strength of your divine soul has reached the realm of divine thoughts. I have had a series of head-to-head confrontations with him before. Although the corpse demon is strong, it will never affect you in any way. In other words, you are the only one who has the ability to find him. ”
Wu Feng's eyes were firm, and he said, "Valley Master, Feng'er will definitely not live up to your expectations and completely eradicate this demon hidden in my valley." ”
