8. The art of manipulating corpses

08 The art of controlling corpses

The moonlight fell to the ground, and the shadows of the dead branches were mottled and danced like ghosts.

Xiao Yu stood up straight in the moonlight, and his right side of his body became different from ever.

The cold wind passed, and his right hand was wide sleeved, and it seemed that he was also like a ghost.

Naturally, Xiao Yu's arm should be in the swaying long sleeve, but Tang Ai felt that there was nothing in the sleeve at this time. And Xiao Yu's left hand is carrying an arm.

"Five-two-one, what you are holding in your hand is a ......" Her face turned purple, and she stared at the object on Xiao Yu's left hand for a long time.

"Well, that's right...... Lord Xiao Tang really knows everything. Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, "Actually, this thing fell from me." ”

Tang Ai was dumbfounded: "Then your right arm-"

"-- It's been many years."

Hearing this, Tang Ai was speechless for a while.

Xiao Yu took two more steps in front of her: "Lord Xiao Tang, take a closer look, this arm is fake, it's just a piece of wood." Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Lord Xiao Tang. You punched me in the shoulder, and I hit the big rock in the snowdrift before I carried it and knocked it off. ”

He didn't seem to care at all: "Because the corpse collector only collects the whole corpse, I took great pains to put this thing on." I've been in the way for a long time, but now I'll find a reason not to suffer from it. ”

Tang Ai slowly recovered a little stronger.

When she looked at Xiao Yu's back, she felt that something was slightly wrong, but now that she thinks about it, Xiao Yu's right hand is what makes her feel that strange.

All of Xiao Yu's movements are done with one hand, the left hand.

His right arm was hidden in his wide sleeve and never moved.

Of course, this is only part of the reason why Xiao Yu's body looks a little weird.

And the other part of the reason seems to be on the right side of Xiao Yu's body, in his right leg.

"Lord Little Tang, Lord Little Tang?" Xiao Yu held his prosthetic leg and shook it three times in front of Tang Ai's eyes.

Tang Ai took a long time to pull the prosthetic leg away: "Five-two-one, I couldn't help it just now." I believe in your ability, and thank you for helping me deal with my wounds, but let's investigate the case is to investigate the case, and you are not allowed to be unserious in the future! ”

When she said this, she tried to take a breath, although she was still looking at each other, but her tone was much more relaxed than when she talked to Xiao Yu before.

When riding with Xiao Yu, Tang Aike let go of the cruel words of "You are you, I am me, and no one is 'us'". But she didn't pay attention, as soon as she said this, Xiao Yu immediately changed the "we" in her mouth to "you and me".

At this moment, she had completely forgotten what she had left behind.

Xiao Yu heard Tang Ai say the word "we", smiled quietly, and glanced at her with slanted eyebrows: "Lord Xiao Tang, although you have woken up now, after all, the injury is not light, and it is impossible for your body to recover quickly, so don't move yet." At this time, let's sort out the context of this case. ”

He shook out a small thing from his sleeve, raised his arm to look at the moonlight carefully, and said with a frown: "I used to wonder what the purpose of the Goryeo people was to collect the corpses, but now I think I understand it." ”

Tang Ai leaned under the tree, his position was a little shorter than Xiao Yu, and he couldn't see what he was doing at all, so he said anxiously: "If you think of something, say it quickly, don't play dumb riddles!" ”

"Lord Xiao Tang, look at what this is." Xiao Yu turned his head and shook his hand at Tang Ai.

The little thing was thrown into Tang Ai's hands.

As a result, a curled insect corpse appeared in Tang Ai's hand, white and fat, and half-transparent.

Tang Ai's whole person is not good.

With a scream that could poke a big hole in the snowy mountain, she dragged the meat worm back towards Xiao Yu.

I think she Tang Aitian is not afraid of the ground, the wind comes and goes in the rain, but she just can't see this kind of soft and boneless big meat worm!

Xiao Yu didn't seem to expect Tang Ai's reaction to be so big, and he was stunned for about a blink: "Little Tang, it turns out that you are afraid of this?" ”

"I'm afraid...... Who said I was afraid! Tang Ai had already realized his gaffe.

"You put ...... Throwing a worm at me means a few! She pretended to be calm, but her face was uglier than the zombies on the mountain.

Xiao Yu turned her head and smiled, pinching the insect spread her hands until she was completely calm, and then said, "This insect crawled out of a zombie." At that time, Lord Xiao Tang, you patronized and killed the enemy, but you didn't notice that after the corpse fell, more than one worm would crawl out of their body. ”

Tang Ai listened in disbelief: "Zombie body...... Bugs?! ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "It is rumored that when Miao Jiang was not recovered by our Tai/Zu Emperor, Gu art was popular, and Gu art was all-encompassing and varied, and the most sensational one among them was the technique of controlling corpses with Gu. Tai/Zu Old Man regarded Gu art as a voodoo evil method and hated it so much, and ordered all the Gu insects fed by the Gu house built by the Miao people to be burned, and the secret art of Miao Jiang that had been passed down for thousands of years was lost. ”

"Miao Jiang's corpse mastery?! So are you trying to say that the corpses that attack you and me are completely manipulated by the Necro Maneuver? But you just said that Miao Jiang's Gu technique has long been lost, not to mention that Miao Jiang and Goryeo are 108,000 miles apart! ”

"The earth is dead, but man is alive. Anyone who escaped the eyes of the old man Tai/Zu secretly passed on this secret method, and then the inheritor brought this method to Goryeo. I see the worms crawling out of this corpse, like Gu worms. ”

"You haven't seen it, how do you know?"

"Lord Xiao Tang must still remember the flute sound at the beginning. I don't know if you've noticed, it's only when the flute sounds that the zombies attack. And when the flute is silenced, the zombie will stop moving. I have seen some anecdotes, which mention the Gu worm, it is said that the Gu worm that is raised very well can be controlled by music. ”

Xiao Yu is right, the flute sound that makes people's hairs stand on end is indeed strange.

Tang Ai bit his lip and said, "Even if your inference is correct, you still haven't said why the Goryeo people want to use Gu worms to control corpses. ”

"Since it's a corpse, naturally it's unconscious and unconscious. Corpses are dead people, and if they don't hit the vital point, there is no possibility that they will be 'killed' again, and if they can gather tens of thousands of corpses to form an army, then their power will not be underestimated. ”

Tang Ai was shocked: "Could it be that the Goryeo people want to use this army to fight against my Tian/Chao?!" ”

"When the old man Tai/Zu opened up the territory, he implemented a policy of gentleness towards Goryeo, and did not include Goryeo in the territory of our heaven/dynasty, but taught the advanced technology of our dynasty to Goryeo. At that time, the king of Goryeo was grateful to my Tian/Chao, and his descendants paid tribute every year, and if they really dared to oppose the Tian/Chao, it would be ungrateful. In recent years, Goryeo has fought against the brave and warlike Privets, and has won more and less, so if this army is used to fight against the Privet tribe who are good at riding and archery, it will have a lot to do. However, I always feel that there is another person behind Goryeo, or a force controlled by one person......"

Xiao Yu's last sentence was extremely low, and it didn't seem like it was said to Tang Ai.

After that, he rolled his eyes, and did not squeak for a while, and did not know which one he was thinking.

Tang Ai couldn't sit still anymore: "If Gao Li just wants to deal with the virginity, it's fine, but the people of my heaven/dynasty can't return to their hometown because of this, this matter is absolutely unbearable!" ”

She gritted her teeth, and was about to get up with her back against the tree trunk, but as soon as her butt left the ground, she felt dizzy, and at the same time, there was a sharp pain in her calf, and her body fell back uncontrollably.

Failing once, she immediately began to struggle to make a second attempt.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu jumped over and pressed Tang Ai's shoulder with little force: "Little Tang, if you move again, it will only make the wound crack even bigger." ”

Then, he turned around in front of Tang Ai's eyes, turned his back to Tang Ai, and gently bowed and squatted: "Come on." ”

Tang Ai was a little confused: "You...... What do you want to do? ”

"I know you're anxious, and this ghost place is really not suitable for staying for a long time, so I have to reluctantly make it difficult again." Xiao Yu bent his waist down a little more.

Tang Ai seemed to understand something.

"Again" means that it is not the first time that Xiao Yu has done this. When she fainted, she must have been carried all the way to the ravine by Xiao Yu. Besides, although Xiao Yu didn't point it out, he just howled at her, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not attract the Koreans again.

Tang Ai suddenly blushed and his neck was thick. Regardless of anything else, she Tang Ai is a "man" at this time. It's hard to tell a man to carry another man on his back!

"Five-two-one, I can walk by myself." As she spoke, she was about to stand up again.

However, her efforts failed in this time. Not only did she fail, but this time her body was unstable, and she hit Xiao Yu's back, and her two arms just rested on Xiao Yu's chest.

Xiao Yu lifted her back with a stiff back, leaving her no time to move.

"Lord Xiao Tang, I only have one hand, you have to hold it tighter." He smiled lightly, only supported Tang Ai with his left hand, and walked towards the white mang.

Tang Ai was carried on Xiao Yu's back, and there was no way to change blindly.

She was silent on Xiao Yu's back for a while, and wanted to open her mouth several times, but she swallowed the words that came to her mouth back into her stomach. At this moment, she felt that it was not appropriate for her to say anything.

Now she's on top of it, and her vision is so good. It's a pity that she can't understand where Xiao Yu is going, but she feels that the scene in her eyes has not changed.

What's even more disturbing is that she is really hungry and panicked. It's been more than a day since she last ate, and her stomach is beating gongs and drums.

She knew that it was impossible for Xiao Yu not to hear this movement.

After a while, Xiao Yu said as he walked: "Lord Xiao Tang, I don't have any extra hands, can you please help me a few times?" I have a small package in my arms, can I take it out? ”

Tang Ai hesitated for a moment.

One is because she doesn't know what Xiao Yu wants to do, and the other is because if she does, she will have to put her hand into Xiao Yu's chest.

The second point predominates.

When she was in the six doors, she hooked up with her colleagues a lot, and when she was pretending to be a corpse, she even rolled against the male corpses, but she just hesitated, it was the first time in her life that she pondered the matter of lonely men and widows so carefully.

Even if, it stands to reason that the current situation is an orphan man against an orphan man.

Tang Ai finally stretched his hand forward.

Xiao Yu's chest was cold and her heartbeat was shallow, which was very different from other men she knew.

She really found a small oiled paper bag in Xiao Yu's arms.

This small paper bag has a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

"Bother Lord Xiao Tang to open this paper bag."

The oiled paper bag was wrapped in a few grains of osmanthus candy, and the smaller half had been broken into seven, eight, eight.

Tang Ai saw something that could be swallowed at this moment, and both eyes straightened.

"Lord Xiao Tang, please help me eat candy."

Tang Ai confirmed that he had heard correctly.

She was already dizzy, and she couldn't be reserved anymore.

"Five-two-one, I didn't expect you to have food with you!" She ate the osmanthus candy in the oiled paper bag so that there was no residue left.

"Say you're done eating? Leave me a mouthful. Xiao Yu sighed helplessly, as if with a faint smile.

Tang Ai really didn't think about this when he opened his mouth.

She immediately found that there was a whole host of more conundrum to think about - she seemed to be in debt, and there was a tendency to owe more and more.

That's not going to work.

The so-called creditor and she are not even friends.

In fact...... It's not like friends can't do it.

Tang Ai was determined to open up the words that he had been thinking about for a long time and said: "Five-two-one, I am by no means a person who does not remember kindness, of course I know the places where you have helped me." But the current case is serious, and I will go again when all the Koreans involved in the case are wiped out...... Thank you again! Also, don't call me any less Lord Tang in the future, my name is Tang Ai, just call me by my name. ”

With that, she began to wait for a response.

Two light coughs are Xiao Yu's echoes.

He had already carried Tang Ai out of a long way, but there was still a longer way to go.

Maybe it was because the snow was too difficult to walk, or maybe it was too exhausting to carry Tang Ai, Xiao Yu's body shook slightly, and his steps were slightly unsteady.

Tang Ai could feel that his posture when his feet landed on the ground became a little different.

His right foot grew smaller and smaller than his left, and his right leg seemed to struggle more and more as he walked.

"Tang Ai, let me thank you first, because I need to ask you for help again."
