Chapter Seventy-Four: The Corpse Chaser
"The black-clothed outfit is very similar to the soldiers of the underworld!" When Jiang Yi saw this group of people, the first thing he thought of was the report he had made to the heavens before, guessing that the heavenly court had notified the people from the underworld to come to Fengxue Mountain to investigate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But carrying two coffins made him suspicious again, and after walking a distance, he suddenly frowned, hesitated for a moment and said secretly: "Am I thinking too much?" Are they just ordinary funeral processions, coming to Fengxue Mountain to find graves? ”
Smart people generally like to think in complex directions, and it is often easy to ignore the simplest things, Jiang Yi looked at the team from beginning to end, it was a bit like, "But if it is a funeral procession, why are there no relatives in white clothes in the team?" ”
After pondering for a while, Jiang Yi shook his head, according to the traditional funeral rules, the scene in front of him was very inconsistent, as a mountain god, he naturally knew this, the person who led the way in front needed to scatter paper money for the deceased, and a large number of complicated excesses were needed, so that it was easy to get on the road, instead of simply ringing the bell like now.
"But it doesn't look like a conjuring spirit, he doesn't chant any incantations, he doesn't dance that mystical dance, he doesn't hold a spirit flag." He also ruled this out in his heart, and there were no such rituals of conjuring spirits at all.
"Could it be that you're here to collect the corpse?" Jiang Yi thought of this possibility, after all, there were a lot of deaths in that battle, and there were many people from the Southern Wilderness Sect, and it was possible that the elders came to collect their corpses.
"Then which sect are these people? These puppet-like masters have been cultivated. He clearly knew that such a well-disciplined team of cultivators must have come from a large number.
"Two coffins, that means two people, are there any Qi practitioners who appear in pairs in front of the Fengming Cave?" He followed as he reproduced the scene of that night in his mind, trying to find the suspicious person.
"There are such people, it's the brutal senior sister and the cold-faced senior brother, but the nerd said that the people in their sect are fine."
At this time, Jiang Yi was confused, and found that his brain was no longer enough, such a group of people who appeared suddenly were like anything, and they were not like anything, he thought about it in his heart, and only coming to collect the corpse was the most reasonable analysis, but after a while, he shook his head again and ruled it out, "No, this is definitely not right!" ”
"Going around and around, I was dizzy around myself, and I forgot the most basic things, there was no complete corpse there at all, and this direction was not going to Fengming Cave at all!"
Jiang Yi couldn't figure it out for a while, so he made up his mind to follow them, he must figure this out, and after walking for half an hour, the team carrying the coffin suddenly stopped, and everyone maintained the same movement, still and looking ahead.
"It's like an army, without talking to each other, ignoring his companions on the side, and not even shaking his head."
Jiang Yi's gaze shifted to the front of the team, and when he saw the figure walking in the front, he took out a round thing and put it on his right hand, constantly moving it back and forth, changing directions.
"The one in his hand is a dragon needle, compass?"
"His eyes were meticulously staring at a jade slip in his right hand, as if he was measuring and locating."
Jiang Yi couldn't see clearly from hundreds of zhang away, he could only judge from the actions he made, after about a cup of tea, the black-clothed figure put away the things in his hand, raised his feet and walked to the left, as soon as the bell rang, everyone behind followed together.
"The route they're taking now is off line with the direction of Ghost Valley." Jiang Yi could basically conclude in his heart that they were not from the underworld, and there were too many doubts.
"The message was sent by me, and I should have gone to the mountain temple to find me in detail about the situation first, instead of carrying a group of people carrying two coffins all over the mountain to find it like now." He shook his head, it didn't make sense.
"It's not the soldiers of the underworld, it's not the elders who collect the corpses, it's not like the funeral team, it's not like the people who summon spirits, so who are they?" Jiang Yi returned to this original question, as if he couldn't figure it out in a fog, so he had to continue to follow.
"No, these figures are weird." Jiang Yi opened his mouth slightly, his face was full of consternation, and he stared at the back for a long time and found something unusual.
"No wonder it's so neat and consistent, it seems." He saw the steps of the group of coffin bearers, following the bell in the hand of the figure in the front, and the sound of the bell was the frequency of the footsteps, and it rang once when he took a step.
"That figure is the key, could it be that the corpse chaser is the Taoist, and the group of people behind are all corpses? The movements are stiff but coordinated, neatly aligned, and the back is either a puppet or a corpse! Jiang Yi came to a conclusion in his heart, but he preferred corpses a little more, after all, those above were not much different from people.
He had studied the corpse chase for a while before, and the corpse chase was a series of corpses that had died in a foreign land, following behind the corpse chasers, returning to their hometown through the desolate and rugged mountains, just as the leaves must return to their roots.
The time can be both day and night, but in order to avoid frightening passers-by, the corpse chase is mostly carried out at night, which also casts a veil of mystery on the corpse.
"Wearing a Taoist robe, not playing a lantern, shaking a soul bell in his hand, although there is no yellow paper with talismans on his head, but for those with advanced mana, there is no need for such an action." Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, if he was just a corpse chaser, then his previous worry was to have a more balance.
However, as he continued to follow, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he saw that the coffin carrying team had not been moving forward for a long time, and then stopped, "This is already the fifth time, and that Dao Leader can use such complicated twists and turns to catch a corpse?" ”
"The first time I could say that I was looking for a way, but now it's five times, and I'm still walking around the main mountain of Fengxue Mountain." Jiang Yi couldn't go down for that corpse chaser, the blood mist of the wind and snow mountains was filled with dozens of miles, and he stayed here for so long, so he was not afraid of corpse changes?
His face was gloomy, what the corpse chaser had done had clearly told him that they were really coming for the Wind and Snow Mountain, and they should have a great relationship with the tombs inside, and the time also coincided, and not long after the blood mist was revealed, they appeared.
"Tomb, could that be the organization of Ghost Hand 3 and Yu Si?" He looked at the eight people behind him empty-handed, and a spiritual light flashed in his heart, "The eight figures in the back are empty-handed, won't they want to enter the main mountain and carry away the coffin?" Could they be tomb robbers? Specializing in digging coffins in graves? ”
Jiang Yi was sure in his heart that the corpse driver was not good, and he followed all the way, while paying attention to keeping a distance, he had to do this, and he was about to use the fox of Hongxue to complete the task of restoring the incense, but now it was extraneous.
"A few more hills, in front of me is the huge main mountain, but I have some impression that it seems to be a cliff hundreds of feet high, why don't they choose to take a detour? Do you want to go straight up the rock? Jiang Yi scratched his head a little confused, he remembered that there were not many terrains like Fengxue Mountain, and it was even rarer to be hundreds of zhang high like this, and the Fengming Cave and the place in front of him were one of the few high and big cliffs on both sides.
After a moment, he got the answer, his eyes couldn't believe what he was seeing, his open mouth could be stuffed into a fist, and he rubbed his eyes continuously, making sure the figures had disappeared from view.
"They just walked straight into the cliff without any hindrance?" Jiang Yi was dumbfounded and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
"The movements have not changed at all, as if they are just walking in an ordinary place, so easily passing through the rock wall, and the mana of the corpse Daoist is so profound?" He couldn't believe it, if it was to fly up the eaves and walk on the wall, it wouldn't be so shocking, everything in front of him broke his cognition.
Jiang Yi forced himself to calm down, and began to seriously look at the difference between the cliff and the front of the Fengming Cave in the distance, and the ancient atmosphere faintly flowed out of it, and the ratio of the length and width of the golden section did not make people feel abrupt, as if someone had specially polished it.
Groaning for a while, Jiang Yi thought of the previous actions of the corpse Daoist, holding a jade slip and a positioning magic weapon like Luo Jingyi, he should have deliberately found this place, "Could it be that there is a formation there, and the cliff is a tomb gate, the entrance to the tomb?" ”
