Chapter 373: Raising Corpses with Corpses
I weighed that I couldn't stand in one place and wait for the zombies to come and fight, that would be too slow. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I turned on the teleportation mode with Songhua, running around, attacking left and right, I was very busy, and I saw that Old Man Zhou nodded again and again.
In less than ten minutes, the ground was full of zombies.
"Yes, yes, there is progress. Old Man Zhou came over to praise me and said.
"The zombies on the ground are yours to deal with. "I unceremoniously instructed Old Man Zhou.
"No problem, just give me some food for Nether Fire. Old Man Zhou waved his hand and released the Nether Fire.
When Old Man Zhou finished dealing with the zombies in the corridor, I asked a little boldly: "Grandpa Zhou, shall we go inside or go back?"
Old Man Zhou sighed and said, "When we enter here, we can only move forward, and there is no way back." ”
"Let's go. ”
I also resigned myself to my fate.
The further Old Man Zhou and I walked, the heavier the yin qi gathered inside.
As we walked, a rumbling sound came from directly in front of us, and then a large crack more than half a foot wide opened in the ground, and the crack that was more than ten meters long extended straight to the feet of me and Old Man Zhou. An unknown black-brown viscous liquid bubbled out of the crack.
Old Man Zhou squatted on the ground, took out a tissue from his pocket, dipped it in some black liquid, looked at it carefully, and used a lighter a little, with a click, a puff of black smoke came out, and the whole paper was engulfed in flames in an instant.
"Is this oil?" I asked suspiciously.
Old Man Zhou shook his head, he took out another tissue and dipped it in some liquid, handed it to me and said, "You can smell it and you will know." ”
I stupidly put the tissue under my nose and sniffed hard, and a foul smell came to my face.
"Old man Zhou, if you don't bring such a trick, you can just say it directly about corpse oil, why do you have to let me smell it?" I was so sick that I almost threw up all my bitter gall.
The old man Zhou, who lacked virtue and smoked, said to me confidently: "Don't blame me for this, you should know that it is not oil when you saw the green fire on that piece of paper just now, you still ask me stupidly, I don't let you smell it, can you remember the smell of corpse oil?"
I rolled my eyes when Mr. Zhou's words were angry, and I didn't pay attention to him and walked forward angrily.
Passing through the corridor, a huge hall appeared in front of us, the hall was the size of several football fields, and a passage more than a meter wide was lined with a large pool like a swimming pool, in which the pitch-black liquid with a heavy metallic luster was tumbling, and the pool was chaotic, densely packed with human bones, and there were many skulls floating on top of the liquid.
A thin tube extends from the pool to the walls on either side of the hall, and countless human-shaped oil lamps are burning, illuminating the entire hall.
Further on, the passage is connected to a square hall, in the middle of the hall there is a boxy altar, the altar has two layers, the lower layer is about three meters long, about four meters wide, the upper layer is two meters long and wide, there are no offerings on this altar, only a rosewood coffin more than a foot long. Holes were made every three or four meters on the rock wall about ten meters high, and a black coffin was placed in the middle of each cave. Sweeping away the black pressure around it, there were hundreds of them.
"It's all zombies?" I asked, stunned, pointing to the coffin on the rock wall.
Old Man Zhou said with an unusually solemn expression: "It seems that yes, you see that those black coffins are soaked in corpse oil, and they will not rot for ten thousand years, which is an excellent material for raising corpses." ”
I asked a little puzzled, "Who has such a big deal to kill so many people at once to refine corpses?"
Old Man Zhou frowned slightly: "The number of people in this corpse refining cave must be the population of several villages, even the burial must have a degree, it is impossible to die so many people at once." ”
Old Man Zhou can't figure out what to do, and I don't have a clue.
I followed behind Old Man Zhou and walked up to the altar step by step. At this time, Songhua was lying on my shoulder, surprisingly quiet.
The altar looked as if it had been soaked in corpse oil, greasy and greasy, and there was dirt everywhere.
Old Man Zhou stood on the altar and looked around the red sandalwood coffin that was more than a foot long, and said a little strangely: "This coffin is outrageously small, it can't even fit a one- or two-year-old child, and the newborn child has to be curled up and put away." ”
"Why don't we open it up?"
My heart was a little nervous for some reason, and I felt a voice in my heart saying to me: "Open the coffin, open the coffin and everything will be revealed." ”
My hand unconsciously stretched out.
"Wait. "Old Man Zhou saw that my expression was wrong, and immediately stopped me.
I turned my head to look at Old Man Zhou.
Old Man Zhou stared at the wooden coffin and said, "I don't know what is in here, you go to open the coffin so rashly, if you are accidentally caught by the living corpse inside, you will not have time to regret it." ”
"What's inside won't hurt me. ”
I smiled.
"Are you so sure?"
The more Mr. Zhou looked at me, the more I felt that something was wrong.
"I had a voice in my heart telling me that it was fine. ”
I didn't hide what I was saying.
Old Man Zhou's face changed when he heard what I said, and he yelled at me: "Nianqing, that's the ghost voice commanding your actions, don't listen to it." ”
After speaking, a yellow talisman snapped and pasted to the position of my heart.
Old Man Zhou's voice rushed into my mind like an initiation, and even my sea of knowledge was slightly shocked, and in an instant I felt that my brain was a lot clearer, and a clear stream slipped through my heart, making me secretly afraid, just now I was fortunate that Old Man Zhou reminded me, otherwise I would have become the rations of those zombies now.
Old Man Zhou slowly squatted down, looked at the strange patterns carved on the altar and studied it for a while, and said, "I suspect that the corpse oil in the pool outside is used to support this corpse in the coffin. ”
"Raising corpses with corpses?" It's the first time I've heard of such a thing, and Mr. Zhou's words once again refreshed my worldview.
Old Man Zhou slowly explained to me and said: "The reason why people can survive in the world is to be nourished by absorbing the five qi of heaven and earth, the so-called five qi of heaven and earth refers to the chaotic qi of the fetus in the mother's womb, and the first breath of oxygen absorbed at birth is the first breath of vitality and germination. When the child grows up and matures physically, the qi that runs when doing the things of men and women is the qi that breaks the yuan, and the turbid breath exhaled by the dying person is the qi of returning the yuan. After death, the corpse decomposes, and these five gases are dispersed again and returned to heaven and earth. The kind of heaven and earth qi used to raise corpses is the kind of heaven and earth qi when the five qi is dispersed. ”
I don't understand Old Man Zhou's words, but I generally understand that the people in this corpse refining cave want to use the breath of these dead people to raise the corpses in the coffin.
