06 The Walking Dead

Xiao Yu stood motionless, a line of blood flowing from his eyebrows to his nose.

Not only that, but there were also several spots on his shirt that were stained with blood.

"Five-two-one, you're bleeding...... You're hurt?! Tang Ai tried his best to suppress his voice, but he was inexplicably flustered.

She couldn't tell if Xiao Yu was okay at all.

Xiao Yu was silent, but a flash of starry light flashed in his eyes.

He raised his head under Tang Ai's anxious gaze and looked directly at the mountain wall at the top of the path.

Water is dripping from the mountain wall.

Click, click.

Droplets of water fell on Xiao Yu's forehead.

Tang Ai looked at it, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

The drops were red, blood-red.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Xiao Yu finally took two steps to the side, and where he had just been blocked by his body, another narrower and darker path suddenly appeared.

Tang Ai had already walked through this place once, but she didn't realize that there was another way here.

Xiao Yu casually wiped the blood stains on his face with his sleeve, looked carefully at this obscure road, didn't say anything, and walked forward with a step.

Tang Ai finally figured out that this person was not injured at all. The blood on his face was dripping from the high mountain wall.

There will be blood dripping on the mountain wall, which is really seeping.

But what made Tang Ai feel even more wrong was that she wanted to solve her doubts, but Xiao Yu was uncharacteristically silent.

She seemed to be treated like air by him.

Tang Ai was angry and didn't fight anywhere, and a flying body grabbed in front of Xiao Yu: "Five-two-one, you stop for me!" disappeared without saying a word, shouldn't you explain it well! ”

She wanted to scream, but she could only keep it very low.

Xiao Yu sighed with a smile, stood still obediently, and finally whispered: "Lord Xiao Tang, obviously you didn't let me make a sound." ”

Tang Ai was angry: "You-you are deliberately unable to get along with me, right?!" ”

"How dare you, Lord Xiao Tang will shut up when I tell me, and I will stop when I stop, I should have obeyed Lord Xiao Tang's will." Xiao Yu leaned his face closer to Tang Ai, "Just ...... Isn't Little Don worried about me? ”

Tang Ai felt an arrow in his knee.

After that, she stood in place and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, her only movement was to rush to the end of the dark path with the wind under her feet.

Now she can only force herself to relax, hypnotize herself and say that she is angry with such a scoundrel, and it is clear that she is surrendering her identity.

This dark path is an ascending path, with stairs one after another. On the rock wall on top of Tang Ai's head, blood was spreading down from a high place like a trickle.

Her gaze froze on the mountain rock for a long time.

The snow-capped mountains have been hollowed out, and blood is flowing on the rock faces. This place is so cold that all things do not grow, and this blood and water cannot come from animals, then it can only come from people.

Regardless of whether they are living or dead, there must be hidden cats above the inside of the mountain.

Tang Ai thought of this, and knew that Xiao Yu had of course seen it early in the morning.

A beam of light came from the end of the path, illuminating the pavement and the rock wall. The path that leads to the dark path still spirals upward, but the road surface is so smooth that even the rock walls seem to have been finely polished.

Tang Ai advanced step by step, but suddenly stopped in an instant.

She saw something, and then she felt her eyes flash again.

The passage ahead suddenly became unusually narrow - because there were people lining up on either side of the pathway.

Not the living, but the dead.

To be precise, it was a male corpse standing on both sides of the road.

The corpses were slick and naked, and they didn't even have a fig leaf to wear.

Except that they were not sealed by the Great Ice Block, these male corpses were not fundamentally different from the corpses that Tang Ai and Xiao Yu had seen in the Heaven/Dynasty Cave before.

Tang Ai gritted his teeth and held his breath as he quickly walked through the pile of corpses.

Xiao Yu followed behind her, but his eyes wandered around the corpse. He even lifted the arm of one of the corpses, and put his ear to the corpse, not knowing which one he wanted to hear.

So far, the mountain is still as calm as you can imagine.

The vision ahead suddenly widened, and although the road was full of dead people, there was still no trace of danger in sight, leading Tang Ai and Xiao Yu into a spacious stone room, and except for the two of them who were still panting, there was still no life in the stone room.

In the middle of the room is a stone platform large enough to lie down, and Tang Ai's eyes are focused on it.

She first saw the blood on the stone platform. The blood was still dripping to the ground. The ground under the stone platform just cracked, and the blood seeped into the crack again. If the crack is deep enough and long enough to stretch downward, then it also gives a plausible explanation for the bleeding rock face.

Then, Tang Ai found another thing on the stone platform.

The thing was white and small, and there were a few sticky strands of blood on it, and it was soft when you touched it with your hand.

Xiao Yu wiped the blood clean, picked up the gadget with his left hand and shook it, and then tossed it on the palm of his hand, and as soon as his hand slipped out, it reached the edge of Tang Ai's jaw.

His eyes roamed back and forth with Tang Ai's chin on this gadget, comparing and contrasting.

Tang Ai didn't know why, so he snatched the gadget with extreme impatience: "Five-two-one, what the hell are you doing?" ”

Xiao Yu made a solemn statement: "Lord Xiao Tang, I remember that you said on the way here that Lord Zhenxi's jaw was crooked by your punch. You also said that the county lord should have gone to the doctor when he left the house in the middle of the night. I think the county lord and the doctor were in this stone chamber not long ago, and what you are holding now is the county lord's 'chin'. ”

"'Jaw'?!" Tang Ai's hand trembled.

The "chin" snapped and fell back to the stone platform, and flicked slightly on the platform.

"It's better to say that this thing was removed from the county lord's face by the doctor, and it is not the county lord's real chin, so it seems more appropriate to describe it as a fake." Xiao Yu seemed to have thought carefully, "Lord Xiao Tang, is the county lord so beautiful that it is bubbling?" ”

"So what?" Tang Ai said angrily.

"The beauty is on the side, but how can Lord Xiao Tang not have a little pity for the jade? Oh, I know, Lord Xiao Tang is extraordinarily wise, and since he has an insight, he has long seen that the beauty of the county lord is not brought out of his mother's womb. It is understandable that a woman who is not beautiful or not beautiful enough to do something for the sake of beauty. Lord Xiao Tang, don't you say? ”

Tang Ai couldn't answer, but Xiao Yu didn't plan to let her comment on the meaning of one, two, three.

He walked around the stone platform, and said as he went: "I have a lot of things in the sky/earth, and I have all kinds of exquisite skills. There is an extraordinary technique that combines medicine and aesthetics, which is a bit similar to transfiguration, but can change people's faces forever. Of course, people who want to change their appearance in this way will also suffer a little sin. This technique also requires a high level of attainment from the practitioner, and as far as I know, there will never be anyone who knows how to use this technique in the Goryeo Kingdom, and even today, I am afraid that there are very few of them. However, if there is a Celestial/Dynasty person who has mastered this technique and passes it on to the Koreans, it will be a great blessing for the Koreans. Well, it would be nice if the Koreans could carry this technique forward, so that future generations would benefit greatly. ”

Tang Ai was silent for a while, concentrating on the meaning of Xiao Yu's words.

The purpose of the Korean people buying and hiding the corpses is not yet known, but Tang Ai has obtained another important clue - if what Xiao Yu said is true, then it is very likely that there are unknown Tian/Chao people involved in this case.

She settled down before asking, "You said that Lord Zhenxi was still here not long ago, so where has she gone now?" ”

"The Heaven/Dynasty and Goryeo are bounded by this snow-capped mountain, the mountain is hollow, connected by a dark path, and the road that Lord Xiao Tang and I took when we were separated for a short time can probably lead to the Heaven/Dynasty. If we follow that path, we may end up in the cave where the frozen man's corpse is kept. Xiao Yu looked at the exit on the other side of the stone chamber, "And there is only one road here, and this road can only lead to the top of the mountain." ”

"The county lord is at the top of the mountain?"

"Maybe."

Tang Ai suppressed his voice and said: "The Korean people are also enough, and they can actually think of hollowing out a huge mountain." ”

"Korean talents don't have this ability." Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, "Their method of digging mountains and cultivating paths was probably also taught by our Heaven/Dynasty people. ”

He didn't finish his words, but suddenly turned his ears, and at the same time looked back at the way he came, his eyes were condensed: "Lord Xiao Tang, you and I have been wandering around here for a long time. You and I trespassing on other people's territory are no different from visiting our own back garden, and we should have been caught a long time ago. You and I are in the light and the other party is in the dark, if I were them, I would come to an urn to catch turtles. ”

Xiao Yu's words were so reasonable, Tang Ai only had to nod.

But before she could lift her head, she realized that a crisis was coming.

An ethereal but sharp voice came from the top of the mountain, gloomy and weird, and only made people feel hairy in their hearts.

"This voice isβ€”" Tang Ai looked at Xiao Yu anxiously.

"It's about flute."

Before Xiao Yu's words fell, the road that the two of them had just walked on was accompanied by another heavy and solid sound with the flute sound.

The sound sounded like footsteps, but it wasn't pure.

It didn't seem to be the footsteps of a living person.

Bang, bang.

Footsteps are getting closer.

Tang Ai's heart tightened.

The stone room was empty and there was nowhere to hide, and there were only two choices that she and Xiao Yu could make at the moment: one was to turn around and run, and the other was to face the enemy head-on.

If you turn around and run, you can only go to the top of the mountain, and there may be some moths on the top of the mountain.

Therefore, Tang Ai was ready to go head-to-head with the coming person as quickly as possible.

It's a pity that she forgot one thing, and it is also a very fatal thing - she and Xiao Yujia are only two people together, and the strength of the other party is still unknown.

Fortunately, there are not many people, just one.

The light of the fire will soon be reflected in the future.

This man was so tall that he was on top of a rock wall and on the ground at his feet, and he was able to escape from a walking wall.

But that's not all he really.

The most striking thing about this man is that he has no clothes on.

His entire body was naked/exposed, and he blocked the entrance to the stone chamber.

And the man's form also looked quite abnormal, his face was as dead as ashes, and his hands and feet were as stiff as stones.

The person who came was one of the naked male corpses standing on the way.

A dead body is on the move.

It's unbelievable, but it's a shocking fact.

I can't believe it or not.

The moving corpse was slow, but powerful.

The only purpose of his appearance seemed to be to crush Tang Ai and Xiao Yu to pieces.

Tang Ai was almost slapped on the rock wall by him.

And the position that Xiao Yu is in at the moment is behind this corpse.

He didn't know what he was thinking.

"Five-two-one, what are you still doing in a daze?!" Tang Ai narrowly escaped from the crack under the corpse's arm.

She spent the rest of her life fighting the corpse to the death.

When she found an opportunity, she slashed it with her palm, and with a click, the corpse's shoulder bone shattered.

However, it is of no avail.

The corpse's hand was gone, but the other hand was still patting Tang Ai.

"Five-two-one, are you dead?!" Tang Ai is once again in crisis.

Of course Xiao Yu didn't die.

His gaze was fixed on the corpse's brain, and his left hand pressed the trap of the wooden box behind him with his backhand.

A dagger popped out of the wooden box.

He threw the dagger at Tang Ai abruptly, and stared at it for a moment: "Little Tang, head!" ”

Tang Ai was stunned for about a ten-thousandth of a moment.

In a ten-thousandth of an hour, the dagger was thrown into her hand, and the corpse's arm was barely half an inch of her body.

With the strength of this corpse, swatting Tang Ai to death is like swatting a fly to death.

At the last moment, Tang Ai fought back, and with a straight arm, he poked the dagger at the corpse's eyebrows.

This is a dagger that sharpens iron like clay, and it is natural to pierce a person's head.

The dagger poked through the corpse's eyebrows and out from the back of the head.

But in a moment, the corpse was no longer moving.

After a few moments, several flesh worms less than an inch long suddenly wriggled from the corpse's eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears.

The bodies of these flesh worms are half-transparent, and there is a faint blood-red color inside, which makes people uncomfortable to see.

Tang Ai was shocked, panting and taking three steps back, not noticing that there were meat worms crawling out of the corpse.

A dead man was "stabbed to death" by her.

She couldn't help but question what she had known over the years.

The position where Xiao Yu was standing also happened to block Tang Ai's vision, he looked down at the meat worms that were crawling around, and threw a dagger at a meat worm, and the meat worms were immediately crucified to the ground.

He poked the insect corpse into his sleeve, pulled Tang Ai and left: "Little Tang, the flute has not stopped, I am afraid that you and I will still be attacked, we have to go." ”

However, it was too late.

A number of naked/naked bodies have poured in.
