The cry of the nightingale is especially clear in the darkness.

I stopped, listened with bated breath, and sure enough, I heard the sound of a shovel digging into the earth.

I'm so familiar with this voice, when I first came back to inspect Heavenly Mountain for the first time, I heard this kind of voice, and then I got into trouble with the female ghost and the baby.

Someone was digging with a shovel in the mountain behind the house.

In the middle of the night, apart from the people of Changqing Dao, I really can't think of anyone else who would do such a thing.

So, when I confirmed that it was the sound of a shovel digging in the earth, I followed the sound and touched it.

He didn't carry a flashlight, he was trapped in a wooden box before, his eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he could vaguely see the road by relying on the starlight falling from the night sky, so that he would not be blind.

Going around to the hill behind the big house, the sound of digging became clearer and clearer.

Later, I went into a low but lush lychee forest, and on a relatively open flat land, I saw the man digging with a shovel in his hand.

The lychee trees were so lush that I could hide myself well and look closely at the person in the field.

The place seemed to be out of the area shrouded in mysterious black fog within the col, and the moonlight could be reflected, and the silver light was shining in front of it, and a man in a gray robe was digging in front of a tomb.

That's right, the open space in front of you is a cemetery, and the person who digs up the grave with a shovel is none other than the Evergreen Daoist.

Originally, the sword of the Zhai Dip Master on his waist was placed in the open space on the side at this time, and there was a nine-section mountain whip next to the sword, which was the mountain whip left for me by the old man.

In addition to this, there was a man lying there, a man who slept like a dead pig.

This person is Lao Fei!

Under the moonlight, the old fat chest and abdomen were rising and falling, which showed that he was still alive.

It's just that what I don't understand is that he was moved here from the temple by the Evergreen Daoist, and he hasn't woken up yet.

This is obviously abnormal, although Lao Fei is snooze, but he is not so sleepy as this, it is very likely that he was stunned by the Changqing Dao people.

I clutched the tattered firewood knife and wanted to rush out and slash the Evergreen Daoist to the ground, but in the end I held back.

Because I know that if I rush out like this, I will never be able to cut down the unfathomable old way, and even be countered by him.

Relying on brute force and impulse can't solve the problem at all, and Lao Fei now seems to be safe for the time being. I lay on my stomach in the grass, staring at the Evergreen Daoist, waiting for the most opportune moment to attack.

The place where I was hiding was on a high ground to the left of the tomb, and I was just right to see every move of the Evergreen Daoist.

It is clear that he is digging a grave.

His strange behavior filled my heart with doubts and curiosity.

Because I don't know if he wants to dig something out of the grave, or if he wants to bury the old fat alive?

Ten minutes later, he dug up a coffin, cleaned the dirt from it, and used the sheathed sword of the Zen Dip Mage as a crowbar to open the lid of the coffin.

The lid of the coffin was opened, and a strange gust of wind suddenly blew in the field, and the temperature dropped instantly. The moon in the sky also seemed to be covered by dark clouds......

An eerie, palpitating aura emanated from inside the coffin.

A few minutes later, the dark clouds that obscured the moon dispersed, and the moonlight was projected down again.

At this time, the Changqing Daoist had already taken out the body that was originally lying in the coffin and placed it next to the coffin pit.

In the moonlight, I stared at the corpse lying on the ground, and I almost screamed in surprise, but fortunately I covered my mouth in time.

It was a female corpse, dressed in bright red. Even though I didn't know any martial arts and wasn't a master, I still felt a thick aura emanating from the corpse.

This evil aura is so amazing that even the moon in the sky is dimmed!

She didn't know how long she had been buried in the grave, but there was not even a trace of decay on her body, and the whole person was lifelike, as if she was asleep, and the black clothes on her body seemed to be brand new.

What surprised me the most was her looks!

At the age of twenty-five or sixteen, his beautiful appearance can almost be compared to Jingmei. The most important thing is that her appearance is very similar to the bald Yan Xiaoying.

If it weren't for her long black hair, I would even suspect that it was Yan Xiaoying herself who was lying in the coffin.

It's so similar, it's just a template printed.

The woman in red lying in the coffin is not Yan Xiaoying, but she has absolutely nothing to do with Yan Xiaoying, maybe her sister, or her mother.

Because on the surface, it is not known how many years she has been buried here.

But......

Judging from the fact that the coffin was corroded by the earth, and from the scene around the tomb, it is believed that this mountain tomb has been around for quite some time.

But what I can't figure out is that if this female corpse that looks very similar to Yan Xiaoying has been dead for a long time, then why can she still be as lifelike as she is now, like a living person?

Could it be that this place is a place to raise corpses?

I have heard my grandfather say before that there is an extremely mysterious layout in Feng Shui, and if the corpse is buried in that kind of place, it can keep it from decaying for thousands of years, and it can even absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and re-conceive the divine consciousness to come back to life.

The word "live" has two meanings, one is like a zombie, the walking dead. The second is to be resurrected like a living person.

In fact, the second type of completely resurrected corpse cannot exist at all, because for a corpse to generate intelligence, it must be buried underground for at least tens of thousands of years or even longer, and there is only the slightest possibility.

And it has to be a place where the world is created.

Therefore, the reason why the corpse is usually buried in the corpse breeding place is not to resurrect it, but to refine the corpse into a corpse puppet for his own use.

This is an extremely vicious method of refining corpses, which is not tolerated by the world, and this method has been circulating in the land of Xiangxi, especially in the desolate land in the depths of the 100,000 mountains.

Counting up, the Heavenly Mountain I am guarding is on the edge of the 100,000 mountains, and it can be regarded as the land of Xiangxi.

Xiangxi is just a general term, it includes a very large area, clouds, wide, gui, ridges, and other geographical areas belong to the land of Xiangxi, not only limited to the surrounding 100,000 mountains, but now many people do not know.

Speaking of Xiangxi, I believe that the first thing that many people think of should be the words poor mountain, bad water, and Diao people, but with the development of society, the Xiangxi region has gradually opened up.

The attitude of many foreign tourists has changed greatly, such as the beauties of ethnic minorities, who have a unique and mysterious charm that makes many men favor and desire.

Of course, there are also many lingering legends.

For example, there are various mysterious and terrifying legends such as the Corpse King, the Corpse Chaser, and the Gu Clan.

Although I have been educated in modern times since I was a child, I have also heard about the place where corpses are raised.

……

In the middle of the field, the Changqing Daoist took out a yellow talisman and pasted it on the forehead of the red-clothed female corpse, with a satisfied smile on his face, muttering to himself.

"After being buried for twenty-three years, it has been raised quite well, and it can already be sacrificed to become the first corpse puppet."

As he spoke, he jumped out of the coffin pit, and then effortlessly picked up the sleepy old fat who had nearly two hundred pounds, threw it into the coffin pit at will, covered the coffin lid, and buried it again.

After doing this, he picked up the corpse of the woman in red and left the cemetery with the sword of the mage and the whip of the mountain driver, presumably returning to Guanzhong.

Seeing that he was walking away with the female corpse on his back, I quickly rushed to the front of the grave and kept digging through the earth.

Thankfully, the soil wasn't trampled on by the Evergreen Daoists, and although I didn't have the tools, I could still easily cut the loose soil.

If you don't delay for even a second, the oxygen in the coffin is limited, and if you delay for a minute, Lao Fei's life will be more dangerous if he is buried underneath.

Five minutes later, sweating profusely, I finally saw the coffin buried under the dirt, first removing the lid through a gap to allow oxygen to flow in, and then removing the dirt from both sides of the coffin.

When I pried the lid of the coffin with a firewood knife, I found that the old fat lying in the coffin was still snoring, and saliva was still flowing from the corner of his mouth......

When I saw him like this, I was curious and funny, he had been tossed like this, he was almost buried alive, and he slept so peacefully, he was the only one in the world.

But then, no matter how much I couldn't wake up the sleeping old fat.

Afraid that the Changqing Daoist would go and return, he had to get him out of the coffin first.

Don't look at the Changqing Daoist to pick him up easily, but when it was my turn, it really wasted a lot of effort.

Coupled with the strength spent digging the soil and opening the coffin before, when the heavy old fat was pushed out of the coffin pit, my whole body was almost exhausted.

Turning over and crawling out of the pit, before he could rest, he found a mysterious person dressed in black, standing silently in front of him.

The appearance of this strange man in black scared me a lot, and I thought it was the Changqing Daoist who had returned, so he slashed it with a firewood knife.

But I didn't cut down with the knife, because the hand holding the knife was entangled in a rope that was as nimble as a snake, and the next moment my body tightened, and the rope bound me as if it were alive.

"You ......"

I was about to scold, but the moment I looked up and saw the person in front of me, I couldn't say a word with my mouth open.

Because I found out that the mysterious black-clothed man who appeared silently was not an evergreen Taoist, but Yan Xiaoying.

The person I and Lao Fei were waiting for tonight, she actually appeared at this time.

"You shouldn't have come here, that person is vicious, how can he leave you alive, you two are really too reckless."

Familiar voice, under the moonlight, Yan Xiaoying was wearing a tight-fitting black dress, and Cheng Liang's bald head was particularly eye-catching.

She reached out and tugged at my waist, and the rope that held me undid and wrapped around her waist.

I was surprised and delighted, if it weren't for the difference between men and women, I really wanted to rush over and hug her.

"Are you...... When did you come? I asked Yan Xiaoying in surprise.

"Half an hour ago, after I came to Changqing Temple, I found that the man came here with Lao Fei on his back, so I secretly followed, lurking nearby, and then I found out that you were also here, fortunately you didn't have the impulse just now."

Yan Xiaoying shook her head, looking helpless.

"The female corpse that the Changqing Dao people carried away just now, she is ......"

"It was my mom, she died when I was five years old."

Yan Xiaoying interrupted me, frowned and whispered, "There are many things I can't explain to you clearly now, and I will explain to you slowly after I kill him." ”
