Chapter 278: Corpse
Su Qiubai stood in front of the grave, carefully checked the traces of yesterday's array, and found that the stones were still in place, and the thigh bone in front of the tombstone was still well inserted, but the changes in it could not hide from his eyes, and this array had obviously been broken from the outside.
Although the formation he laid was simple, it was not a problem to trap Yuanqiu for two or three days, and if he wanted to break the formation so quickly, unless someone made a move from the outside, then he only needed to move these stones and thigh bones.
It seems that Feng Yuanqiu has at least one accomplice.
Su Qiubai thought, pretending not to see that the array had been moved, and still shouted at the tomb: "How is it, how does it feel to be trapped inside?" β
When he was questioning, he had been carefully paying attention to his surroundings, and sure enough, no one in the tomb answered, and then, he felt an obvious murderous aura behind him, and with a sound of breaking the air, Su Qiubai easily dodged and dodged, and saw a small arrow flying straight from where he was originally standing.
"The response was pretty fast." A voice behind him that seemed to be laughing but not laughing.
Su Qiubai turned around and saw Feng Yuanqiu standing there with a crossbow in his hand, and when he saw that the blow was not successful, he simply threw the crossbow on the ground.
"You're coming out pretty fast." Su Qiubai replied.
Feng Yuanqiu smiled, didn't speak, and directly took out his magic weapon from behind him - a stick made of human bones, and at the top was a small skull, which should be a baby judging from its size.
Sure enough, it was a person who cultivated the crooked path of the evil sect, and the magic weapons he used were all exuding an evil aura.
"Should I start by asking, who sent you?" Feng Yuanqiu slowly raised his stick and asked.
"No one sent me, do you need someone else's order to kill a damned person like you?" Su Qiubai sneered, and took out the Xuankong Gold Plate from the bag behind him.
Feng Yuanqiu laughed angrily, and even said a few words "good", and then suddenly became difficult, with a wave of the bone stick in his hand, the surrounding yin qi instantly soared, and the originally very sunny weather seemed to become gloomy, and there were countless ghost cries in Su Qiubai's ears, which sounded very harsh.
Feng Yuanqiu's move was intended to disturb the opponent's mind, so that he would be affected by the crying of ten thousand ghosts, and he would have a chance to take advantage of it.
But this little trick Su Qiubai didn't look at it yet, and saw that the Xuankong Golden Plate in his hand was emitting a faint golden light, enveloping his whole body in it, and under the protection of this pure yang power, those yin qi couldn't get close to him at all.
Feng Yuanqiu saw the Xuankong Gold Plate in Su Qiubai's hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then sneered again.
"Do you think you can deal with me with a magic weapon to protect yourself? It's naΓ―ve. Feng Yuanqiu said, and tapped it in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest with the bone stick in his hand, and then Su Qiubai saw that the ground not far away suddenly moved, as if something wanted to come out of the ground, and after a while, a dry and rotten hand was stretched out from under the ground, and the hand struggled for a while, and then the body also crawled out.
Su Qiubai was shocked when he saw this, it was actually a dried corpse! There were four corpses of the same kind, and they were slowly walking towards Su Qiubai from four directions at this time. The faces of the dried corpses were rotten and almost skeletons remained, and their movements seemed slow, but they weren't slow. Su Qiubai could see that they had all been refined by Yin Qi for many years, and their bodies were full of lifeless qi, and as long as they came into contact with them, they would either die or be injured.
"You're refining such a thing! If one day they break away from your control and flee down the mountain, do you know what the consequences will be? Su Qiubai angrily reprimanded Feng Yuanqiudao.
Feng Yuanqiu said indifferently: "Of course I know, but first of all, I won't let them get out of my control, and secondly, ...... Even if they came down, it didn't matter to me. They can't hurt me anyway, and as for the others, it's my business? β
Su Qiubai's killing intent towards Feng Yuanqiu became even heavier when he heard this, and at this time, the four corpses were already getting closer and closer to him, he suspended the Xuankong Golden Plate above his head, and under the urging of his spiritual power, the golden light had already enveloped all the four corpses. But he soon discovered that when those golden lights touched the corpse's body, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and it was swallowed up in a blink of an eye, replaced by the black qi that lingered on the corpse's body.
"This ...... How could it be! Su Qiubai was shocked when he saw this, the function of this Xuankong Golden Plate was originally to control the power of yin and yang, and what he released at this time was the power of pure yang, which was what ghosts and monsters were most afraid of, but those corpses were not afraid, it can be seen that the weight of the yin energy on their bodies has completely overshadowed the yang energy of the Xuankong Golden Plate. It's like water can extinguish a fire, but if the fire is too big, it's like a drop in the bucket, and it won't work at all.
Those corpses don't know how many years they have been refined by Feng Yuanqiu, and I am afraid that they also used the crooked methods of the ghost path, and they actually came up with these things against the sky.
"You kid killed himself, no wonder I am!" Feng Yuanqiu said, with a wave of the bone stick in his hand, those corpses sped up their pace and rushed towards Su Qiubai, and in the blink of an eye, they had already rushed in front of him.
Su Qiubai only felt a pungent putrid smell coming to his nose, and subconsciously blocked it with the Xuankong Gold Plate, only to see that the golden light around him suddenly skyrocketed, and he flew away with all those corpses. But those corpses were originally ignorant and unaware of the dead things they were afraid of, and as soon as they were bounced away, they immediately pounced on Su Qiubai again. Su Qiubai was tired of coping, and wanted to pull out the Xuanyuan Sword, but he couldn't spare his hand.
At this time, he was also secretly surprised in his heart, it seemed that he had underestimated Feng Yuanqiu's strength before, and he was too confident in his cultivation, and thought that with an artifact in his hand, it would be completely easy to deal with him, at this time, it seems that if he was not careful, he might be killed by Feng Yuanqiu by accident.
It is not a way to blindly defend like this, Su Qiubai took the time to look around, and saw that there was a stout old tree next to him, so he took advantage of the gap between the corpse man and the Xuankong Golden Plate to fly and jump up the tree.
Feng Yuanqiu saw his actions and knew that he was forced by himself to do nothing, so he laughed and said: "How much ability do I have when you dare to provoke me, it turns out that it is nothing more than that." It's a waste that I sacrificed this ultimate magic weapon. β
As he spoke, the bone stick in Feng Yuanqiu's hand waved again, and after the corpses gave the instructions, they actually climbed up the tree one after another. Their hands had already dried up like old branches, and they were even sharper than Su Qiubai when they climbed up the tree, and they were about to get close to where Su Qiubai was. However, just such a moment of kung fu was enough for Su Qiubai to take out the Xuanyuan Sword.
As soon as the Xuanyuan sword came out of the sheath, those corpses were stunned, and under the instinctive drive, they had the intention of escaping. Feng Yuanqiu naturally saw that the sword was unusual, but it was too late to retreat at this time, so he had to bite the bullet.
Driven by Feng Yuanqiu, those corpses couldn't retreat, so they had to continue to crawl to Su Qiubai's side, at this time Su Qiubai's artifact was in his hand, where would he put them in his eyes, just when the first corpse man climbed up the branch where Su Qiubai was, and was about to reach out to grab him, Su Qiubai waved the long sword in his hand, and the corpse's head fell to the ground in response, but what he relied on was not his head, at this time, he had already stretched out his hand and tried to catch Su Qiubai, Su Qiubai was also unceremoniously, and the Xuanyuan sword was waved and the corpse man was cut to pieces.
In front of the artifact, these corpses were as fragile as white paper, and they were cut clean by Su Qiubai after a while. When those corpses were chopped up, all the yin qi in their bodies was released, and Su Qiubai was not injured by the yin qi under the dual protection of the Xuankong Golden Plate and the spiritual power of the body, but under the pervasiveness of the yin qi, the sky above the White Bone Mountain at this time was already overcast, and he saw that a heavy rain was about to fall.
When Su Qiubai jumped off the tree, he found that Feng Yuanqiu had disappeared.
Su Qiubai put away the Xuanyuan Sword and explored around, finding that Feng Yuanqiu did not run away, but hid in the tomb.
At this time, the tomb appeared to be intact from the outside, and it was impossible to find out where the mechanism was. However, Su Qiubai had already seen its exit, so he didn't need to find any mechanism, he directly smashed the stone slab blocking the entrance with one palm, and under the stone slab was the passage to the tomb.
Su Qiubai jumped down the passage, walked forward with the golden light emitted by the Xuankong Gold Plate, passed through a long corridor, and finally came to a place that looked like a tomb, and this should be regarded as the "living room" of Feng Yuanqiu's family. There was a door on the three walls of the tomb, Su Qiubai glanced around, and saw that in addition to some simple daily necessities, the rest of the tomb was all kinds of spell tools, which were placed randomly and disorderly, and there were some bones in the middle, which looked very messy.
Su Qiubai did not rush to find Feng Yuanqiu's trace, but carefully searched among the piles of debris on the ground, and after a while, he found a corner of a painting shaft in the middle of a pile of bottles and cans, and stepped forward and turned it out.
It was indeed a picture scroll, and he opened it to see a portrait of a woman with a resentful face, and this portrait he had only seen yesterday in the antique market.
In addition to the picture scroll, he unexpectedly found the bronze mirror again, which was the one he had deliberately pointed out to Shu Jingrou, and at this time, the bronze mirror and the picture scroll were placed in front of him, proving that it was self-evident.
Su Qiubai originally didn't associate Shu Jingrou with Feng Yuanqiu's affairs, even if Liang Xiuqi told him that Shu Jingrou's identity was not simple, he didn't think about it. But when he met Shu Jingrou in the antique market yesterday, he had some doubts in his heart, because it was too coincidental, he had just returned to Ningzhou City from Baigu Mountain, and he could meet Shu Jingrou who was shopping. But he only felt a little strange at the time, and he was not sure that Shu Jingrou was following him, so he had the temptation later, that is, he deliberately pointed out to Shu Jingrou that the ancient painting and the bronze mirror were ghost weapons. Later, after dinner in the evening, Shu Jingrou insisted on refusing to let him send her home, which deepened his suspicions. At this time, seeing that the ancient paintings and bronze mirrors appeared in Feng Yuanqiu's hands, he knew that his guess was already * ten.
Shu Jingrou is the one who unlocked the formation seal outside the tomb, Feng Yuanqiu's accomplice!
