Chapter 135: Twilight Quadrangle
At this time, the three of them were in the barren mountains and mountains, and there were no inns around. Even those people are gone.
It was foggy all around, and the whole field of vision was a seeping gray. Ye Wuxian smiled and looked at the beggar with a leisurely expression and said, "I didn't expect to be lucky to meet a master here, it's really commendable." ”
The old beggar was still holding a chicken leg in his hand at this time, it was obviously a piece of meat that smelled like it was not gray and rotten, but the old beggar did not have any hard to swallow expression, he was still eating it with relish.
Seeing that the old beggar didn't pay attention to himself, and that he was not angry at night, he tried his best to avoid the stench of the carrion and at the same time leaned towards the beggar: "Dear gravedigger, may I ask what the kind old man and the strong man just now?" ”
Hearing this, the old beggar reacted, he smashed his mouth and looked at the carrion in his hand with satisfaction, and said to Ye Wuxian: "This time you asked the right person, just now those are the old demons around here, after a long period of corpse corrosion, they have transformed into human form, in order to harm the township and the past merchants." ”
As he spoke, he casually pointed his hand around, and saw that many of the graves around him had new soil, and it was obvious that a newly dead person had been buried here.
"Do you know why these people died here?"
A few people looked at the graves again, and finally found a strange scene, those graves were probably not newly mourned people buried here, if the original intact graves were excavated seems to be closer to the truth.
"They were all killed by these monsters, and this place has an old corpse, which is said to have been sacrificed by the power of the demigods in the race war between humans and the undead thousands of years ago, and was buried here after his death. But after all, he was a demigod in his life, so after death, although his soul was broken, it did not disperse, and he lingered in the grave like this, and the essence it emitted continued to gather the corpse qi in this chaotic grave, as a warrior, you especially this foreigner. The old beggar's cloudy eyes glanced at Graemi and continued, "As a powerhouse at the peak of the Dou Huang, you should know even more that the way of cultivation is the process of gradual operation of the Dou Qi, if there is no cycle, it will be in vain to talk about cultivation." The aura of heaven and earth and the fighting spirit of man himself is simply a process of mutual selection and mutual promotion, so in such a separate closed cycle, the corpse qi is nourished by the power of the demigods, and the weak power of the demigods is benefited by the corpse qi, and the two survive in a desperate situation and finally reach a harmonious agreement, and in this way, this mass grave has become the home of evil creatures. ”
The old beggar talked eloquently, but the three of them looked at each other, and they could see through Grami's cultivation at a glance, what kind of cultivation should they be able to do!
"In other words, the power of the demigods can survive because of the existence of the corpse qi and will not be wiped out, and the corpse qi has a weak spiritual intelligence because of the integration of the power of the demigods, from a certain point of view, this mass grave is simply the incomplete consciousness of the great power."
When the old beggar had finished saying this, and the carrion in his hand was eaten, he wiped his mouth with his dirty cuffs, burped, and said to the three men with satisfaction: "This is really a good piece of flesh with firm flesh! There is a rich corpse in it, and it is really delicious. ”
Delicious? Feeding on corpses? The three of them looked at each other, could it be said that this gravedigger was an evil cultivator?
Ye Wuqi couldn't help but say cautiously: "Mr. Gravedigger, are you trying to absorb corpse qi?" ”
The gravedigger smiled strangely, and the smile fell on his wrinkled face so horribly that it frightened Ye Wuqi and took two steps back. The gravedigger said, "If I don't absorb corpse qi, what should I do for a living?" But speaking of which, this piece of carrion tastes better than all the delicacies of the mountains and seas I have ever eaten in my life, perhaps because it is far away from the hustle and bustle here, and there are no officials who eat vegetarian meals to disturb my leisure? ”
Before death? Ye Wuqiu almost didn't drop his jaw, he looked at Geremi with a deep shock in his eyes, and at this moment, Geremi's expression was not much stronger than Ye Wuqiu, which made Ye Wuqiu's mind fall into the abyss. Even Grami couldn't see that this gravedigger was dead, could it be that this gravedigger's cultivation had reached the level of a saint? If he had a bad plan, wouldn't he be able to get out at all?
However, the gravedigger seemed to see that Ye Wu's mind was innocent, and he waved his hand casually and said: "Little baby, you are not bad-hearted, I will not do anything to you, if I really want to keep you here, then I will let those little guys kill you and drag you into the grave to become the nourishment of the powerful aura in this mass grave." ”
With that, the gravedigger gestured to the side, and the three of them followed his gaze, only to see a huge bear behind a withered tree not far away, which was described as withered and unsightly, and there was not a single intact fur on its body, and its whole body was covered with leprosy sores. At this point, it was looking at it with its hollow eye sockets and pus-stained eyeballs.
Ye Wuqi had never seen any scenes, but when he saw such a disgusting brown bear at first glance, he almost threw up. He slowed down, calmed down and said, "Is this the body of a strong man?" ”
The gravedigger staggered forward a few steps with his cane, the corpse bear seemed to be a little afraid and retreated, and the gravedigger smiled: "This little guy was originally an ordinary brown bear who accidentally broke into here, and it became like this after being continuously eroded by the corpse qi here, don't look at it pitiful, it has a strong man who can be regarded as a king of cultivation according to the human realm." ”
Everything here seemed to be shocking, and the constant pouring of fog from all directions was really troubling, and if it was expected, there was a thick corpse gas in the fog, and how serious it was to inhale corpse gas, and the brown bear was a ready-made example.
"That kind old man is right over you." The gravedigger then laughed.
The three of them were startled and hurriedly looked into the sky, only to see a crow hovering, as if it was nostalgic for something.
"Everyone in the inn just now is actually a corpse beast, in fact, their nature is not bad, and they have no intention of harming people, but since they are corpse beasts, they always have to eat, and they will eventually starve to death without a food source, just like the delicacies and wild game that humans eat, all things are mutually reinforcing, and natural selection, presumably you will not be so selfish as not to understand this problem."
