Chapter 110: The Living Dead
The trees are towering.
The forest is as lush as an umbrella.
The darkness under the forest was deep, and the weak light of the flashlight seemed so insignificant.
I endured the pain, turning over and over again the dead branches and leaves, looking for the lost whip.
The mountain whip is a status symbol of the mountain guard, and it is also a weapon in itself, an existence similar to a magic weapon.
I can't handle it as easily as the legendary Mountain Keeper, but I've been using it as a normal stick since the day I got it.
And it has a special meaning to me and cannot be lost.
I remember that I used it to block the pounce of the green-haired zombies before, and it fell to the ground, and it was not a small object, so how could I not find it at this time?
Taking a deep breath, I was very anxious in my heart, and secretly thought, didn't Lu Ji's gang take my mountain whip silently?
Logically speaking, Lu Ji is the little Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, his identity is precious, the Heavenly Master's Mansion has a long heritage, and he is now the existence of the Daomen Taishan Beidou, what good things do you want?
Besides, Lu Ji has an arrogant personality, so he will disdain to take my mountain whip?
Then it's most likely the rest of the people, but I just watched a few of them from the sidelines, and I didn't see anyone take my whip?
Sitting on the ground, slowly calming down, his eyes fell on the corpse of the green-haired zombie not far away.
Walking over slowly, under the faint beam of the flashlight, the appearance of the green-haired zombie was still terrifying, and the long hair on its body was like a needle prick.
This is a male corpse, its head has been cut off by the white-haired old man of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and it is lying quietly on the side.
The skin on its face is wrinkled like rust, and its mouth is open with fangs.
Such an incredible thing, the green-haired zombie king that the second master said was actually eliminated by Lu Ji's gang like this. From this point, you can also see how terrible their strength is.
What Yan Xiaoying said to me before was just speculation, but I didn't expect Li Guodong to really be doing things for the people of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
But looking at his appearance just now, he should have been forced to be helpless, right?
Whether it is an ancient society or a modern society, the big fist is the last word, and it has been an eternal rule throughout the ages.
Although I don't want to come into contact with the people of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and I don't intend to be an enemy of them, but in the current situation, I have all kinds of irreconcilable contradictions with Lu Ji, and this contradiction will intensify sooner or later.
I'm not naΓ―ve, their group is mainly based on Li Guodong on the surface, investigating the truth of the recent case.
But in fact, their trip was mainly based on Lu Ji of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
And they are here for only a few purposes.
First: Find the Heavenly Master Sword that was lost here five hundred years ago.
Second: Investigate what happened to the mountain god Niangniang who guarded here.
Third: the rest of the purpose or conspiracy.
Either way, it could have a detrimental effect on Jingmei, and now that she is my wife, I naturally can't ignore it.
Although I was a small person in the eyes of those of them, I never despised myself.
In the final analysis, if a person even looks down on himself, then his life is estimated to be like that. At some point, men should still take their due.
I sighed lightly, looking at the green-haired zombie in front of me and smiling bitterly, anyway, this time I was saved by Lu Ji and them, and I turned back from Huangquan Road again, which is somewhat a fortunate thing.
People are old and sad, and people are empty.
Even if you don't have your life, it's all in vain to talk about anything else.
Now, I have a strong sense of crisis in my heart, and this sense of crisis comes from the appearance of Lu Ji and them.
Li Guodong didn't say my identity just now, but I think Lu Ji should know soon, because in addition to Lu Guodong, Sun Pu also knows my details, maybe ...... Soon, he will react and even create danger for me.
In this case, in order to save my life, the wisest thing for me to do is to leave this hellish place immediately, and then fly away like the old man......
I shook my head and muttered to myself, "Putting her to death and living later, as long as I can see her again, what is so terrible about death?" β
Leaving the mess in my head, I hesitated slightly, retrieved the green-haired zombie's head, placed it on its corpse, and then cut a pile of dead leaves to cover it.
In the process of shaving dead leaves, he suddenly touched something as hard as iron, and when he looked closely, he found that the mountain whip was actually under the green-haired zombie.
No wonder I can't find it, it turned out to be here.
I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I saw the mountain whip, and pulled the heavy mountain whip out from under the green-haired zombie, I suddenly remembered something, and my brows suddenly wrinkled.
"Ghost boy, come out!"
I looked at the mountain whip in my hand in a deep voice.
After half a sound, black qi overflowed from the end of the mountain whip, and finally transformed into the form of a ghost child.
The little guy was wearing a belly pocket, looking at me with big eyes, looking innocent, and asked cautiously: "Master, do you have anything to do with me?" β
The little ghost is now in poor shape, and at first glance, it looks like an ordinary child.
I was secretly surprised in my heart, I was fighting with the green-haired zombie just now, and it almost disappeared, how can it be all of a sudden now?
Thinking of the conversation with the white-haired old man in Lu Ji just now, my face sank, and I looked at the poor ghost boy and asked in a deep voice: "The Yin Pill condensed by the Corpse King, you secretly took it away just now, right?" β
"Master, I'm ......"
Seeing that the ghost boy hesitated, I already knew it in my heart, and my eyes glared at the moment, and I shouted: "You dare to lie to me?" β
"Yes, master."
The ghost boy was so frightened by me that he opened his mouth obediently, spit out a goose egg-sized bead that was oozing green light and steaming, and handed it to me with both hands.
"Master, this is the Yin Pill condensed by the Corpse King."
The ghost boy looked at the Yin Pill that I had taken away, his face full of reluctance and eagerness.
Obviously, this Yin Pill had a great effect on it, because after spitting out the Yin Pill, the form it condensed was blurred for a while, and there were signs that it was about to collapse, and finally it barely stabilized, but its face was very ugly.
The green glowing beads were cold in my hand, and the cold air penetrated through my bones, but strangely, when the cold entered my body, I didn't feel uncomfortable, but found that the pain on my body was relieved a lot.
"I didn't expect that the Yin Pill condensed by this corpse king still has healing effects, it's amazing!" I'm a little surprised, it seems that the Yin Pill that this white-haired old man and the mysterious paper master are competing for is a treasure.
The ghost boy heard me muttering to himself, his face showing a strange look, and his eyes were spinning.
Seeing it in such a demeanor, I was even more worried in my heart, and said secretly: "It seems that Yan Xiaoying's worries were not groundless at the beginning, the ghost boy devoured the yin soul of the Gaoshan clan, and now he has devoured the ghost yin fire here, and his mind seems to be a little unpredictable. β
"Master, the Yin Pill is a thing condensed from the Yin Spirit, it is the condensation of the Yin Qi Dead Thing, contrary to the vitality of the living, all things are born and restrain each other, according to the reason, the Yin Pill only has an effect on our Yin Matter, the master is a living person, why can he absorb the dead air?"
I was stunned for a moment and said in amazement, "You mean, I can absorb death qi?" β
The ghost boy nodded and said, "That's right, the Yin Pill is the Inner Pill condensed after the Yin Spirit Thing has cultivated to a certain extent, just like the Inner Dan that humans say." It's just that its essence is different from Neidan, it is the purest yin qi, only yin matter can absorb it, and it is repelled from the breath of the living life. β
"You mean to say I'm not alive?" I asked with my mouth wide open.
"I don't know, it's just that there is also a yin qi in the master's blood, so ......"
"Does my blood also have yin energy......
I frowned, and suddenly remembered that in order to improve my strength as soon as possible, Yan Xiaoying had given me the cultivation notes of the Evergreen Daoist to cultivate.
But I cultivated for many days, and instead of improving my strength, I vomited several mouthfuls of blood.
"Yin and Yang are mutually exclusive? Is the reason why I can't practice the exercises left by the Evergreen Daoist because I have yin qi in my body? Can...... How can I have yin qi stagnation in my body? β
Is it because of my background......
When I thought of this, it dawned on me.
Although I can live like a normal person, after all, I was born and died, and I was born by life. Chances are, I'm just a living dead now......
"Haha......"
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, but this laughter, I contained endless sorrow and desolation.
After a long time, I gradually calmed down, looked at the ghost boy and asked, "You said that the Yin Pill has the strongest death qi condensed in it?" β
The ghost boy nodded, and the longing in his eyes was even stronger.
I narrowed my eyes, and in the exclamation of the ghost boy, I threw the Yin Pill in my hand into my mouth and swallowed it.
"Master, you ......"
I waved my hand at the ghost boy and said, "I'm sorry, I can't give you this Yin Pill ......"
As he spoke, he felt that the pores of his whole body were stretched, as if he was soothed by a pair of gentle palms, and it was indescribably comfortable, and the internal injuries suffered from the fight with the green-haired zombies seemed to have improved a lot at the moment.
Clenched his fists, his exhaustion was swept away, and his strength seemed to increase.
"And so it was!"
I sighed lightly, and casually raised the mountain whip to collect the stunned ghost boy.
Half alive, half dead.
I looked at my palms and my heart rippled.
I don't know how long it took for me to completely calm down, and then I put on my backpack and a mountain whip and followed in the direction where the landing and the gang had left.
Originally, I was going to look for Yang Feng who escaped from the cave tomb, but now I am not in the mood.
Rescuing her from the cave and tomb can be regarded as worthy of her classmates, and now her life and death are not so important to me.
Because I am not a bodhisattva, nor a savior, nor a saint......
Now I'm just a living dead.
This mysterious place is full of dangers, Lu Ji and their art masters are bold, as long as I follow them, I may be able to avoid a lot of trouble.
The most important point is that although our goals are different, we have something in common.
I thought that as long as I followed them and met Jingmei, it would be a matter of time.
It's just that they're moving fast, and now they're gone, and I can only follow them with my sense and experience......
