Seeing this strange person, all three of us couldn't help but look at each other.

The old woman told us to be careful, she said that this man has a strange pace, and I am afraid that the person who comes is not good!

Wang Ling'er frowned: "Could it be Musang?" ”

"Not really!"

After the old woman looked at it carefully, she shook her head slightly: "My senior brother Mu Sang is very familiar to me, looking at the person's clothes and figure, it is unlikely that he is." ”

I also wondered in my heart, apart from a few of us in the forbidden land, it stands to reason that there should be no one else, who could this weirdo who kept his head down?

The old woman stared at the man for a long time, and then asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

When she said this, her voice was full of confidence, and there was a faint deterrent force, as long as the other party was not deaf, she could hear it even from a distance of thousands of meters.

“……”

The man in the distance kept his head down, completely unresponsive, still walking strangely and slowly moving in our direction.

The old woman's eyebrows sank, she looked at me and Wang Ling'er and said, "Be careful later, I seem to have a faint evil aura on people, but I'm afraid it's not a good kind!" ”

Wang Ling'er and I nodded.

Since Mu Sang intends to let us come to the forbidden land, it will definitely not be so smooth sailing.

The strange man got closer and closer, and my heart tightened, and I instinctively pinched a yin talisman, ready to dry at any time.

But when the strange man walked to a distance of about twenty or thirty meters from us, Wang Ling'er suddenly pulled me and asked eagerly, "Do you think that person's figure and clothes don't look like Master Xia?" ”

I was stunned, "You mean, it's Master Xia?" ”

But how is this possible, how can the other party be Xia Ruhai?

The old woman also doubted, "If it's the Master Xia you are talking about, how can he become like this?" ”

"Master Xia, is that you?"

When Wang Ling'er saw that we didn't believe us, she immediately shouted at the people.

The other party was slightly stunned, as if trying to raise his head, I saw him try to struggle twice, and his mouth seemed to respond with a "whin".

Could it really be Xia Ruhai?

Wang Ling'er and I glanced at each other, and immediately wanted to jump over and take a look.

The old woman pressed our shoulders, "It's weird, don't rush up!" ”

"Master Xia, Master Xia......"

I shouted a few more times.

The other party stopped at this time, and I took a closer look, and it turned out that there was a red rope wrapped around his arm, which was connected to his neck and firmly hung his head.

It looked extremely twisted and unnatural, could it be that he kept his head down because of this string?

The old woman and Wang Ling'er also noticed something unusual, and after Wang Ling'er shouted, the two of them jumped up quickly together.

I followed closely, and as soon as I got closer, I heard Wang Ling'er exclaim, "It's him, it's really Master Xia!" ”

"Master Xia, you, how did you become like this?"

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly straightened Xia Ruhai's body with Wang Ling'er, and the old woman took out a dagger and struggled to cut the string hanging on his neck and arms.

Xia Ruhai was relieved, and his lips moved slightly for a long time, but he seemed to be speechless.

I saw that his body was in a mess at this time, with many cuts on his face, and the wounds had already solidified and scarred.

Apparently there has been a vicious fight before!

How did Xia Ruhai become like this, and how did he suddenly appear in the forbidden land, we have no way of knowing now.

I helped Xia Ruhai to the bottom of a nearby tree and asked him to lean against the tree.

The old woman said, "Master Xia is currently delirious, and he will not know what happened until he recovers. ”

As she spoke, she took out a small blue bottle from her body, and then poured two black pills from it and asked me to feed Xia Ruhai to eat.

I think that since the old woman is a member of the Medicine King Sect, and she is called a miracle doctor by Wang Ling'er, she must be able to save people and so on.

After giving the pill to Xia Ruhai to eat, the old woman stared at Xia Ruhai for a long time, and said with some suspicion on her lips: "Have you noticed that there is something wrong with this Master Xia?" ”

I said, "Granny Liu, do you always see something?" ”

"That's right, I also feel that the master's expression is not normal."

Hearing the old woman say this, Wang Ling'er immediately added.

I said disapprerovingly, "The master is injured and hung around his neck by the thin rope, of course his expression is abnormal!" ”

"You know!" Wang Ling'er immediately pouted at me and glared at me angrily.

"Don't make a noise yet, listen to me, but don't be surprised when you say this."

The old woman paused, and then said to me and Wang Ling'er: "I suspect that he is dead!" ”

"Master Xia is dead?"

After hearing this, my body suddenly stiffened, and I looked at the old woman and said, "It's impossible, if the master is dead, why would he still come here?" ”

Wang Ling'er didn't speak at this time, but she was obviously a little unconvinced, and looked at the old woman with the same confusion as I did.

"Have you ever heard of the walking dead?" The old woman asked us suddenly.

"The Walking Dead, of course I've heard of it." I nodded hurriedly.

The old woman waved her hand, "I'm talking about a walking corpse that has been manipulated after death!" ”

"You all saw that string, didn't you?"

The old woman said, "That's the key!" ”

After hearing this, I wondered: "The string seems to be Master Xia's own, how can he know his own way?" ”

"I've already said that he was manipulated after his death!"

The old woman saw that I didn't quite understand what she meant, and repeated what she had just said to me.

Wang Ling'er pondered for a moment and said to the old woman, "If that's the case, what is the purpose of Master Xia, who has become a walking corpse, to come here?" ”

I'm right when I hear it, he obviously doesn't mean to harm us, is it just to come over and scare people?

The old woman shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "There are many kinds of corpses, there are countless walking corpses, evil corpses, zombies, kui corpses, etc., the reason why this master who has become a walking corpse has not attacked us is because he still has a breath in his body before his death!" ”

"Saved?"

"Yes, save a breath!"

The old woman stared straight at me and Wang Ling'er and said, "Since you are people in the yin and yang line, you should all know that most people will have a breath in their bodies after death. ”

"And this breath, in the words of yin and yang, is called seedling."

"Disaster is the last breath of life in the heart of the dead, and it is where the soul of man lies."

"When this qi is emitted through the corpse, it will turn into a yin wind, which is called a yin spirit."

When the old woman said this, she asked, "We must have all heard of the seedlings, right?"

I tried to recall it, and it seems that I had indeed heard my grandfather mention it before.

I remember my grandfather once said to me that the seventh day after a person's death is called the first seven, and it is the day when the dead come out of trouble. If it does not come out, it will be "ghosted".

It is said that the Lord of Hades will tie the soul of the deceased with hemp rope or iron chains, and then assign the little ghost to take him home to thank the stove.

This is also the last time the soul of the deceased returns home to "say goodbye", so the "disaster" is the ghost, and whoever touches it will "suffer".

Therefore, on the seventh day after death, some people with bad luck are very prone to ghosts.

Because there is an invisible decay on their foreheads, (on TV, you will often see some fortune tellers saying to someone, the old man sees that there is a faint evil qi between your eyebrows, or there is a red light, etc., in fact, most of them refer to this.) ）

Once this qi touches the seedling, it will show the image of the ghost of the deceased in the eyes of the person, which is what we often call seeing a ghost.

It's just that I don't understand what the old woman said about the seedling qi has to do with the Xia Ruhai we see now?

Is it because we should "suffer"?

When you go to the forbidden land, you will see hell everywhere?

The old woman told me a rough story about the seedlings, which was basically the same as what my grandfather said.

After hearing this, I felt more and more confused: "Is Master Xia just here to tell us that the forbidden land is dangerous and full of ghosts?" ”

"Not necessarily, young man!"

The old woman's eyebrows sank, "This Master Xia must also be a master, knowing that he may be manipulated after death, so the qi in his body is different from ordinary people. ”

"Now he has become a walking corpse, but he still has not done evil!"

"Maybe you don't know, but the corpses in the world will pounce on them when they see living things, and Master Xia is not like this, which is enough to prove that he still has a trace of consciousness."

After listening to the old woman's words, I turned my head to look at Xia Ruhai on the side, and I couldn't help but feel a faint cramp in my heart.

If I hadn't asked him to go out of the mountain, maybe he wouldn't have died......

My heart was sour, and I couldn't help but worry about my dad's safety again.

He and Professor Duan have been in the forbidden land for so many days, and now that Xia Ruhai has encountered an accident, he is afraid that the two of them will ......

After a while, Xia Ruhai, who was leaning in front of the tree, moved slightly, and I hurriedly moved over when I saw this.

"Master, how are you?"

Xia Ruhai half-opened his eyes, grabbed my hand, his throat immediately bulged, and said with difficulty: "Lu, Lu Yuan, immortal, immortal bone golden seal, save, save your father......"

"Tree, dryad in the grotto!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body began to twitch violently, and I saw that the flesh on his face was rapidly turning outward.

Those flesh are connected with green tendons, constantly expanding, and even the teeth are bursting out!

At this time, his whole person has been transformed, and he has the image of a hideous corpse!

"Lu Yuan, quick, quickly burn me with fire!"

Xia Ruhai pushed me away and shouted with all his might.

"No, Master, I ......"

"Hurry, or it's too late!"

Xia Ruhai tried his best to control his body, trying to keep a certain distance from me, "Lu Yuan, you remember that there is only good and evil in yin and yang!" Quick, ignition, while I can control myself! ”

I was stunned, looking at Xia Ruhai in front of me, my head buzzing.

Do you want me to burn him with my own hands?

The old woman persuaded in a deep voice at this time: "What the master said is right, if you don't deal with it in time, it will be troublesome then!" ”

"Lu Yuan, do it!"

Xia Ruhai almost roared: "If you are Lu Qingfeng's son and still use me as a master, I will order you now to light the fire!" ”

"Lu Yuan!"

Wang Ling'er shouted.

I know that at this time, it is urgent, if Xia Ruhai is not burned again, he will definitely become a dehumanized evil corpse!

"Master, I'm sorry!"

I immediately sank my heart, quickly took out a lighter and lit it to the leaves on the ground in front of Xia Ruhai.

The old woman and Wang Ling'er immediately picked up some dry branches around, and the fire started at once.

Xia Ruhai struggled in pain, and the old woman and Wang Ling'er kept throwing dry branches on the ground around him, and the fire burned bigger and bigger......

I saw a distorted wry smile on Xia Ruhai's face, and I didn't know if it was too painful, or if I was glad that I didn't become a dehumanized corpse after I died......

There is only good and evil in yin and yang?

Sometimes the reality is often brutal and unexpected.

At this moment, through the light of the burning fire, I seemed to vaguely see a person coming out of the fire.

He smiled kindly at me as if to say goodbye, and as the light and shadow dissipated, he disappeared into the firelight......

Master, you go all the way!

I had a sour nose, knelt down in front of Xia Ruhai's corpse, and then slammed my head a few times.
