Chapter 24: The Dead Sink at the Bottom of the Lake
Yan Luo looked at the handsome man in a suit in the mirror, sighed at Chen Ran's craftsmanship, and felt that his appearance would not be too small.
"Haven't seen enough?" Chen Ran asked with a smile, the current Yan Luo looks like a guy in his early twenties, fortunately, her height is not short, and she can reach more than 1.7 meters by putting a few centimeters of height pads in her shoes.
"Isn't it too small?"
"It's okay, your face is a baby face, and besides, you are now the identity of the Qingqiu Fox Fairy, don't worry."
Yan Luo nodded, she was really not used to the identity of the fox fairy, but she could enter the corpse chasing clan. Yan Luo put the things he needed in the Qiankun ring, only put some daily necessities in his backpack, and walked out after packing up.
"Luoluo, pay attention to safety." Jiu'er lay in Yan Luo's arms and whispered, with concern and reluctance in his tone. It really hasn't been separated from Luoluo for too long, and this time it is estimated that they will not see each other for ten days and half a month.
Su Zixi looked at the reluctance of one person and one cat to separate, and felt that it was very eye-catching, so he took out the wine from Yan Luo's arms behind him and threw it to Du Ruoxian.
"Mr. Sue!" Yan Luo looked at him angrily, very dissatisfied with his behavior.
"Meow!" Jiu'er grinned at Su Zixi in Du Ruoxian's arms, this treacherous villain!
"It's time for us to go." Su Zixi glanced at Jiu'er expressionlessly, turned around and walked out directly.
Sao Fox!
Du Ruoxian was a little distracted when she watched a few people leave, she remembered that when Ah Jun left home, she also watched her leave.
"Is this Yan Luo credible?" The man behind him had a hoarse voice, as if he had slashed through glass with a sharp blade, and it was terrifying to listen to.
Ah Jun said that her background is not simple, let alone related to that person. This is Ah Jun's last chance..."Du Ruoxian's voice was a little ethereal and sad, and the sorrow between her eyebrows became a little heavier.
Yan Luo and Chen Ran looked at the people shuttling back and forth in front of them, and looked at each other and felt that it was unlikely. They really didn't expect that the entrance of the corpse chaser clan would be in the Nuwa Temple, where people came and went.
"Won't this really alarm Nuwa Niangniang?" The lazy man whispered to Daji beside him.
"I don't know." Daji was in the mood to think about this, he couldn't wait to see Jiaojiao.
Several people followed Su Zixi into the Nuwa Temple, and then came to the back door, where a teenage monk was guarded at the door. After seeing Su Zixi, he folded his hands and bent down slightly, and then opened the door behind him.
Then he saw that there was a hole in the doorway, and it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was inside. The little monk skillfully handed out the flashlight to a few people, and then stood aside, not saying a word during this time.
"Boss, this little monk shouldn't be dumb, right?" Lazy people have been talking more and more lately.
Chen Ran glared at him, this kid really couldn't speak, and hurriedly recited a few words of 'Amitabha Buddha' to the little monk, saying in his heart that Nuwa Niangniang was not to blame.
After several people walked into the cave, the door behind them was directly closed, and then the sound of locking was heard. There was no turning back from the bow, and no matter what Longtan Tiger's Den was on the other side, a few of them had to move forward.
After walking for about ten minutes, it was still dark and there was no light. Chen Ran came to Su Zixi's side and asked, "Mr. Su, how far is it?" ”
Su Zixi glanced at Yan Luo behind him without moving, and said, "You can go out in about ten minutes." ”
Chen Ran responded, the corpse chaser clan opened a tunnel directly from the bottom of the mountain, looking at the year for about a hundred years, I don't know how they chiseled this mountain at that time.
"Need a break?" Su Zixi asked in a low voice, which was extremely clear in this empty tunnel.
"No, it's a long distance." Chen Ran thought he was asking himself, so he replied with a smile, wondering why this Mr. Su was so enthusiastic today.
"I didn't ask you." Su Zixi glanced at him and turned his head to look at Yan Luo behind him.
Yan Luo glanced at him, was he familiar with him? With a blank face, he said, "No." ”
Su Zixi didn't say anything more and continued to walk forward. Chen Ran slowed down, came to Yan Luo's side, and asked in a low voice, "Yan Luo, didn't you notice that this Mr. Su takes special care of you." ”
"Yes, yes, I also found out, Master Yan, does he know you?" The lazy man also leaned over and asked.
Yan Luo said in a deep voice, "When did you gossip so much? It's so idle. And when you enter here, you have to call me Su Yan. "The tone is flat, as if to say, 'Have you eaten?'"
Chen Ran laughed with the lazy man, thinking about the name Su Yan in his heart, why does he have to be surnamed Su? Yan Luo said that Su Zixi's explanation to her was that as his person, the corpse chaser would be treated exceptionally well. But they actually wanted to ask, if they wanted to pretend to be a person from the Qingqiu Fox Immortal Clan, why did they have to have the same surname as Su Zixi? Of course, they just think about it.
After about ten minutes, a light appeared in front of them, and the sudden light made several people feel uncomfortable, and then several people walked out of the tunnel. The first thing that catches my eye is a clear lake, sparkling, reflecting the green mountains in the sun. The surrounding grass is long, and occasionally a few gorgeous flowers bloom. A wilderness with a pleasant view. Occasionally, you can hear birds chirping, insects chirping, and the sky is blue, which is a paradise compared to the outside.
"I really didn't expect there to be such a place, Jiaojiao never said that her home was so beautiful." The lazy man sighed.
"Lazy man, you see it's a deer! O horned deer! Daji was also very excited, he had never seen such a beautiful place.
"It's stupid, that's an elk!"
Yan Luo watched several elk go to the lake to drink water, and one of them looked up, but he was not afraid of people, but walked a few steps this way curiously.
"Where are we going next?" Yan Luo looked at the people around him and asked.
Su Zixi looked down at her and said with a smile, "Let's go to the lake first, I have already notified the people of the corpse chaser clan, and it is estimated that you will be able to see the people at noon." ”
"Mr. Su, how did you get to know the people of the corpse chasers?" Chen Ran was curious. Listening to Mr. Su's words, those people from the corpse chasing clan should be very friendly to him, and even trust him very much, could it be that Mr. Su is a person who came out of the corpse chasing clan?
Su Zixi looked at the lake and said slowly, "Earlier, I saved the current patriarch of the corpse chaser clan and helped the corpse chaser clan. ”
"Daji, you see this water is so clear, can you drink it?" The lazy man squatted down and reached out to pick up the lake water, which was cool and comfortable.
Su Zixi said loudly: "This water person can't drink it." ”
"Why?"
Su Zixi squatted down and looked very elegant. Fingers lightly touched the surface of the lake, only to hear him say, "Look at the lake again." ”
Yan Luo and the four of them looked down, and immediately gasped, and the lazy man even leaned back and sat on the lawn. This lake is full of sunken corpses, densely packed, with a blue and swollen body and face, and even a white bone pierced at the bottom of the lake, which makes people shudder.
"This lake is the sunken corpse lake of the corpse chasers, and the surface of the lake is calm and clear during the day, like a mirror. At night, the corpses at the bottom of the lake will surface, and if someone passes by at this time, they will be pulled into the bottom of the lake and become a new corpse. Su Zixi's voice was low and his words were slow, but it made people unconsciously feel frightened.
"Those elks" all drink the water here. As soon as the lazy man thought of the corpse water being drunk into his stomach, he felt like he was going to vomit, and his stomach was acidic.
Su Zixi chuckled, "Although people can't drink this sunken corpse lake, animals can." The animals that survive here depend on this water to survive, which can not only strengthen the body, but also increase the life expectancy. ”
When Yan Luo heard this, his mind moved slightly, Teacher Du said that there is medicine that can save Ah Jun, can't it be the water of this sunken corpse lake? But Su Zixi said that people can't drink. She thought carefully about the description that Teacher Du gave her at that time, the treasure of the corpse chaser clan, crystal clear, like spring water, but different from spring water. According to her, there are almost every family of corpse chasers, but they never spread the word.
"Can't the people of the corpse chaser in this lake drink it?"
"It's nature."
Hearing Su Zixi's answer, Yan Luo didn't say anything more, it seemed that he still had to enter the corpse chasing clan. Su Zixi saw her looking at the surface of the Sunken Corpse Lake, and knew what she was thinking, so he approached her and whispered, "Things that can help Yu Jun, when you enter the Corpse Chasing Clan, you can ask that friend of yours, she is a member of the Corpse Chasing Clan." ”
Yan Luo nodded, finding that he was too close to him, and his body involuntarily took a few steps to the side. She has never liked to be too close to people, but this person is always close to herself, what is her mind? Somehow, she actually thought of Su Shen, and she didn't know what he was doing. He hasn't been seen since that day.
When he saw that the sun was about to come up, he saw a small boat coming on the lake, and the rower was dressed in a hat and slid his oars with both hands. It's just that it's obviously a sunny day, but it's a bit weird to be wearing a hat.
"Someone is coming." Su Zixi said softly.
Although Yan Luo and the others had some doubts in their hearts, they didn't ask more, and the boat on the lake gradually approached. After the boat docked, the people on it made a compilation with their hands, and said words that Yan Luo and the four of them couldn't understand.
Su Zixi bowed slightly, replied in the same language, and then said to Yan Luo, "Let's go, let's get on the boat." ”
After a few people got on the boat, the people of Demoiselle shook the oars in their hands and gradually sailed off the shore.
"Mr. Su, did you just speak their language?" Chen Ran asked, he really hadn't heard it, he couldn't hear what they were saying at all.
Su Zixi nodded, "The people of the corpse clan will wear robes and hats when they come out to cover their faces, whether it is sunny or rainy. ”
"Aren't they good-looking? Too ugly to see people? The lazy man wondered.
"Is that friend of yours ugly? Let you have such thoughts. ”
Daji hurriedly said, "Of course not, Jiaojiao is the most beautiful." After speaking, he cautiously looked at the person who was rocking the oar, and saw that he did not react, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to cause trouble for Jiaojiao.
Yan Luo said: "Do they all have a childlike face? "Jiaojiao's appearance, if you only look at the face, you will definitely think that she is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, but the convex and backward figure shows that her age is not so, but it can only make people think that she is only in her twenties.
Su Zixi nodded, "That's true." The people of the corpse chaser clan are born with a childish face, and their faces will not change until they are about 15-18 years old, and they will maintain this appearance until they are old. ”
"Then when we get to the corpse chaser, we will see some crane-haired and childish-looking, but old-looking people?" Lazy people really think that this world is really full of wonders.
"That sounds pretty scary. The face does not match the actual age, when you are young, it is okay, when you are old, your body is rickety, but your face is still seventeen or eighteen, or even smaller, I can't stand it! Chen Ran shook his body, saying that he couldn't accept it.
Yan Luo looked at the mirror-like lake, even if a boat sailed by, it was just as unfazed. The corpse chasers really have a lot of secrets.
