Chapter Sixty-Eight: Zombies, Sacred Trees, and Candle Nine Yin

"Zhao...."

Except for the goatee, the other five surviving people heard Zhao Zhou's words at this time, and their blood was surging for a while, and they gritted their teeth angrily, but they were helpless, and then bowed their hands and said nothing else.

Because although they escaped the Thousand Ghost Array, there was Zhao Zhou in front of them who was more terrifying than ten million evil ghosts.

Now, they have finally escaped, they are all bent on survival, and there is no need to seek death.

"When is this road a head, more than a dozen brothers have died in just half a day, if there is any more danger, but we are left...."The five people thought about it, glanced at each other, and under Zhao Zhou's gaze, they put on the Taoist talismans, scriptures and other objects with their hands and feet, and 'pierced' on the mud and stone at the entrance of the cave, sealing them for a while, so that those fierce ghosts could not trace their breath.

"Master Zhao!" The goatee bowed down and stood next to Zhao Zhou. Because he is an understanding person, when Zhao Zhou didn't throw him before, he knew that Zhao Zhou didn't regard himself as a 'pathfinder'.

But because Zhao Zhou didn't take him with him when he left, he also knew that Zhao Zhou hadn't regarded himself as a friend yet, and he needed to 'behave' again and realize his own value. It's like Li Yin will be able to master ghost mysticism with one hand, and he has been protected by Zhao Zhou.

However, after Li Yin brought everyone to this 100-square-meter closed cave now, there was a bit of 'Jiang Lang's talent', and he was looking at the several coffins in front of him in a daze, not knowing where to go next.

When Goatee saw this scene, he was also overjoyed, and he knew that his opportunity to perform had come, because in addition to his good skills, he was also a capable person who knew the secret art of the mechanism, and the secret room of the mechanism like this was his forte.

"Hey, you took the limelight before, and this time there are no ghosts and fairies in the tomb to possess you, so you are also confused, right?"

Goatee was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a torch from his baggage, lit it, and began to look around for mechanisms.

Also under the reflection of the firelight, he only took less than ten breaths to look at the somewhat dim closed tomb, and then looked at the thousand coffins above, summed up his guesses, and pointed to the big coffins in the center of the coffins in front of him and said: "Master Zhao, if I guess correctly, this is a tomb array, and it is estimated that it is a place to raise flying corpses!"

The goatee said, seeing that the five people who blocked the entrance of the cave also came, and also saw Zhao Zhou's eyes, and then secretly said in his heart, "There is a door!" Then he slowly explained: "The solution to this tomb is actually in the coffin of the flying corpse." However, my grandfather said that this flying corpse is a murderous thing, at least a few hundred ways, agile, jumping like flying, sucking people's blood and soul without showing external injuries, very difficult to deal with! ”

As soon as the goatee spoke, he saw the five people subconsciously take a step back and move away from the coffin in front of him.

It's just that as tomb robbers, they don't have the inheritance of their masters, and they can't be as professional as Goatee, so that they saw Zhao Zhou standing near the coffin, and saw that the coffin didn't move, and then turned their heads to listen to Goatee's words, wanting to learn a little more about gods and ghosts.

"What zombies are there besides flying zombies." Zhao Zhou also heard that this was a little interesting, and pointed the Qinghong sword at the coffin, not caring about the flying stiffness, and motioned for the goatee to continue.

"Master Zhao, this is also what I also heard from Master Zu, zombies are roughly divided into five types, and I also say this according to my master's inheritance, and I don't know if it's right." Goatee saw that Zhao Zhou seemed to be interested in these gods and ghosts, of course, he was endless, but he also spoke a little faster, and he didn't waste much time.

"This zombie, one of them is 'white zombie', people die in the ground, and after a few months, white hair will grow all over the body, which is also called 'corpse change'. It's just that if this person is not afraid of white stiffness, this white zombie is easy to deal with, because others are afraid of light, fire, water, chickens, dogs, and people! ”

"And these two, for the" black stiff ", is white stiff full of blood, with the rest of the year to fade the fluff, regenerate an inch of hair, its color changed to black, at this time although it is afraid of light and fire, people avoid, but is not afraid of chickens and dogs. It will also eat man-eating essence and flesh when people are asleep! ”

"Three, it's 'jumping corpse', the black zombie has been practicing like this for decades, the hair is completely gone, and the method of walking is replaced by vertical jumping, in addition to being afraid of light, in order to no longer be afraid of people, but also to fight head-on with people."

"Fourth, just for this 'flying corpse', it is evolved by jumping corpses to absorb the moonlight, or it is made by gathering evil qi, and it has been cultivated for a hundred years, and it is no different from walking in the living, walking like flying, shrinking the ground into inches!"

"Fifth, it is no longer called a zombie. This is the flying corpse after absorbing the essence of heaven and earth for hundreds of years and thousands of years, called the ancestor, its appearance is hideous, with a green face and fangs, and a rakshasa! In the world, you can change your body shape and appearance to confuse the common people, and you can slay the dragon king in the sea and extradite the plague god! Except for the Bodhisattva in the heavens, this is no longer the way of the world that can be destroyed..."

Goatee said, although the speed of his speech was very fast, but the words were round and clear, and at the end, he also pursued Zhao Zhou and said: "Of course, with Master Zhao, a mortal immortal, all ghosts and demons will be scattered, and they will never enter reincarnation!"

"I see." When Zhao Zhou heard this, he also praised him in the flattered gaze of the goatee, and suddenly pointed to the coffin and said, "The mountain road chief is really knowledgeable. But I just want to know where the next road is. ”

"I.... The goatee was stunned for a moment, and his words were a little blocked, but he was also a wonderful person, and he didn't say much, he came directly to the front of the coffin, and he was not afraid of any flying corpses, so he took out a boning knife and said goodbye, and with a 'quack' sound, he pried open the coffin, revealing a corpse with a rotting face.

"Be careful!" The five people reminded them, and they also looked cautiously at the corpse, which did not move at all, and found that it was lifeless at all, as if it was really 'dead'.

And the goatee seemed to have known it for a long time, and he didn't shy away from anything, and he carried the untransformed corpse over and turned it over, and with a few 'clicks', a passage appeared behind the coffin.

In addition, there are gusts of hot air blowing out of the passage.

"Sure enough."

When the goatee saw this scene, he also showed a relieved look, and muttered to himself: "I said how the ground is a little warm, it turns out that the person who arranged this big array wants to combine yin and yang, not to practice flying corpses, but to directly want to practice this thing into 'Lu'!" In the same way, if there is a mechanism in this closed secret room, it must be inside this coffin. Not surprisingly, the owner of this tomb just wants to use this 'lug' to deter people, so that people who step into this tomb dare not approach easily. ”

Goatee's chatter, combined with his original five zombie sayings, made the five people behind him admire and repeatedly say 'yes'.

But in fact, Goatee can figure out this mechanism, but he just feels that the coffin is weird, and he knows that it is taboo to turn over the dead body, and the living are afraid of bad yin and morality, so they dare not turn it at will.

However, many secret techniques of the mechanism are to do things that people dare not do, so that they can find the location of the mechanism.

This is also the upright conspiracy of the owner of the tomb, and the organ is here, so it seems that people are not afraid of damaging their own 'yin virtue'.

Similarly, in addition to the secret techniques of the ancients, in addition to the killing and robbery array, there are also many mechanisms that are anti-gentleman. But when it came to the tomb robbers, there were a few gentlemen.

And the situation that Goatee said about 'Yin and Yang Helping to Nourish Drought Fish' is just that he wants to ambiguously show his knowledge and deepen his impression of Zhao Zhou, which is nonsense.

can be carefully pondered, and every word is reasonable.

"Master Zhao, there should be a passage down here." After Goatee opened this secret passage, he was also the first to take the lead.

When Zhao Zhou heard this, he also took Li Yin to follow, and didn't care about the remaining five.

Because at this time, even if Zhao Zhou did not use the threat of force, it would be difficult for these five people to go back except for following Zhao Zhou obediently.

"Let's go. Could it be that we will kill it again? The five of them glanced at each other, and then looked at the entrance of the cave where the thousand coffins were located behind them, and decided to go one way to the dark, and also got down this passage.

And the passage is like a slope, all the while going deeper into the earth.

Zhao Zhou also held Dan Jin all the way, waited for a hundred meters away, and also walked out of the passage with everyone and came to a vacant place.

The fire shines.

Zhao Zhou also saw that this open space was about four or five hundred square meters, about in a circle. When I looked up again, it was pitch black above, and I didn't know how high. The clearing is surrounded by rock walls, which reflect the clearing like the 'bottom of a well'.

And they are now the ones who have fallen to the bottom of the well.

"We're not going to fall into the bottom of the well that the giants have smashed, are we?" The five of them looked around, and suddenly had such a bizarre feeling.

Zhao Zhou ignored them, and under the reflection of Li Yin's torch, he went straight to the center of the clearing, and saw that there was a bronze pillar, standing in the middle of the clearing, with a diameter of about ten meters, and it was full of twisted lines, which also looked like the texture of a tree's bark.

Especially next to these textures, there are also some dense small copper pillars, with different lengths and thicknesses.

At first glance, under the light of this fire, this bronze pillar is like a towering ancient tree with golden light, I don't know how high it is, it seems to be connected to the sky, and I don't know how deep it is, and it looks like it is deep in hell.

"This is the Bronze Ancient Tree?" Li Yin looked at it, suddenly frowned, and said to Zhao Zhou: "Master Zhao, this ancient tree seems to be a kind of worship utensils in ancient times, and it is also like a sacrificial load, I can feel that there are a lot of grievances on it."

As he spoke, he looked overhead, and then pointed to the bottomless pit around the ancient tree, "The only thing I don't know is whether this tree is dedicated to the sky or the hellish demon. ”

"It must be a sacrificial vessel." The goatee came from behind, looked at the ancient tree a few times, touched the outstretched branch with his hand, pondered for a few breaths, and then said to Zhao Zhou: "This ancient tree has become a magic weapon, which can interfere with people's minds. Or maybe there are too many people who died on this ancient tree, and the resentment is strong, and it has become a 'ghost weapon'. If a person who does not have Taoism touches it for a long time, it is easy to get into the body and produce all kinds of illusions, which is also the demon of the heart as the Taoist says. ”

"Such a large artifact? How did the ancients forge it..."The remaining five people were also attracted by the words of the goatee, and circled around the ancient tree, forgetting all the previous things for a while, but thinking about how to transport the ancient tree out and then sell it for a good price.

In the same way, this way out was also found by them for the first time.

Because it is not difficult to breathe here, it is a proof that there is a rush of oxygen into this place.

Especially when they came here, they looked up and saw that there were many caves on the walls around the 'well', and the air poured in from these caves, and one of the caves in the north was used for damp water vapor, and there must be underground rivers and the like that could lead to the outside world.

And Zhao Zhou heard what they said, looked at the ancient tree a few times, looked at a few branches about one meter long, suddenly burst out of Dan energy, jumped up a few steps and ran on the column, one-handed into a knife, only to hear the sound of 'crunch' steel twisting, these 'trunks' were cut down by Zhao Zhou and fell on the ground next to them.

"I'm worried about having a bow and no arrows, but this ancient tree has sent a few." Zhao Zhou picked up the branches, and he didn't think about smelting them, because he was afraid that the fire would disperse the evil qi inside, so it was better to polish them and use them as long bows and arrows.

But.

When Zhao Zhou split these copper pillars, the ancient tree seemed to be hollow, and it was shaken and 'buzzed'.

At the same time, the hole next to the ancient tree seemed to be connected to hell, and there was a rustling sound of climbing, accompanied by the sound of the snake letter hissing and spitting, as if the demon of hell was alarmed, and was climbing the ancient tree, rushing upwards.

"What's going on?!"

When the others heard the noise, they also retreated vigilantly, staring at these deep pits.

When Zhao Zhou saw this, he put down the branch first, held the Qinghong Sword in one hand, and stood next to the pit, as if he was waiting for these demons and monsters.

It didn't take a few breaths, as the rustle grew louder and louder.

With the sound of 'boom' crawling, six black snakes more than ten meters long suddenly poured out of the tree pit and attacked everyone.

And they were all black, their heads were flattened into a triangular shape, and they were divided into two sides in front of them, as if they had a kind of hatred, it was the 'candle dragon' that Zhao Zhou was looking for! ’

Sure enough, there was a snake nest underneath the ancient tree. It is estimated that those ancient people sacrificed to lure these poisonous snakes out of the nest. ”

Zhao Zhou's mind flashed for a moment, and when he saw these poisonous snakes that seemed to have become essences, he suddenly exerted his strength, jumped over the head of a poisonous snake, and stepped on his feet, only to hear the sound of 'pop', and the head the size of a round table exploded!

With a 'snap', the snake's body also fell to the ground with a bang, bringing up a cloud of dust.

Zhao Zhou also kept moving, and then the strength of the run, across more than ten meters away, a sword slashed over the 'hiss', and then cut off the head of a poisonous snake, and suddenly the black and red blood fat oil splashed nearby, and fell on everyone's torches, 'Zizi' ignited, and there was a burst of candle smell.

Zhao Zhou smelled it, and suddenly his spirit was clear, as if he had just gotten up after a sleep, his whole body was comfortable, and his brain was clear.

"I wanted to see if this poisonous snake could be eaten, but I didn't expect that the fat and oil of this poisonous snake would be ignited and the aura would be dispersed, just like the Buddhist Zen incense, which would open the 'six senses'?"

Zhao Zhou pondered for a while, thought about it again and again, and after learning that these poisonous snakes had the wonderful use of 'enlightenment', he suddenly looked at the remaining four poisonous snakes and decided that none of them could be let go!

Because Zhao Zhou subconsciously felt that the effect of this 'candle dragon lighting lamp' must be more than that.

Moreover, with Zhao Zhou's single-minded martial arts, he must also have to 'cramp and pull out the bones, boil oil and light the lamp' to experience the 'wonderful use of practice!' ’

It's just that when he killed these two poisonous snakes, the remaining four poisonous snakes attacked everyone at the beginning.

And everyone doesn't have Zhao Zhou's skills.

Except for the goatee, who had already run into the previous passage with Li Yin, the remaining five people saw these four poisonous snakes rushing towards them, and two of them couldn't dodge, and were bitten in two by two of the big snakes, and their intestines flowed to the ground.

At the same time, these two poisonous snakes did not eat the two of them first, but heard the sound of 'stamping' footsteps behind them, and after turning their heads to see that their companions were killed by Zhao Zhou, they saw Zhao Zhou burst out with strength, like a 'golden-bodied Arhat' who eliminated demons, and the air flow swirled all over his body, tearing the air!

With their animal instincts, when they saw this, they suddenly felt a life-and-death crisis, and then "hiss!" "A few sounds, the body is a plate, the snake's tail hooks a deep ditch, the body is flexibly reversed back, and if you want to return to your own 'territory', you won't stay for a moment!

It's just that Zhao Zhou can see it, how can he let these treasures go?

Puff –

The flesh and blood were torn, Zhao Zhou also stretched out his arms and twisted his waist, his hands were pecked by eagles, he pounced forward and down in the air, and picked up a poisonous snake that was about to return to the snake's nest, his five fingers were deep in the flesh of the scale armor, and he suddenly exerted his strength to pick up the ten-ton poisonous snake, dragged it out of the deep pit, and threw it at another poisonous snake that wanted to escape.

Bump –

There was a loud bang, and the bottom of the well looked like a slight earthquake.

This poisonous snake smashed into the surrounding rock wall, smashed its head to pieces, and smashed the other poisonous snake into a daze, and struggled in place.

But it didn't take a breath before Zhao Zhou took a few steps away and stepped forward and kicked its head.

At the same time, Zhao Zhou's side killed four, but with the sound of screams, the last two remaining poisonous snakes, as if they were crazy, surrounded one place, had already torn and devoured all three people, and now, they were swimming towards the cave on Li Yin's side, as if they wanted to avenge their companions.

When Zhao Zhou saw and heard this, he also picked up two forked copper pillars from the ground, threw them hard, and with a 'whoosh', he pierced their heads and nailed them to the ground accurately, and with their parade strength, they also tore a crack, and their bodies were also the same, their tails were thrown in front of their heads, and their bodies were twisted together.

"Let's go."

Zhao Zhou ran two steps, killed the two poisonous snakes, and after hearing the 'squeak' sound from the top of the ancient tree, he also came to the two of them, and without saying a word, let them leave from the cave.

"Good!" The goatee reflected the firelight, looked at the small hillside at the entrance of the cave, and the stumps and flesh of the five people, and did not open his mouth indiscriminately, and began to climb the ancient tree with Li Yin, but after a few breaths, he got into the cave, and after saying "safe" to Zhao Zhou, he walked towards the cave again.

"There should be a kind of cup insect on this ancient tree, but it is useless to me." Zhao Zhou saw the two leaving, and he also hugged Dan Jin, and after standing in place and waiting for more than a dozen breaths, the sound of 'squeak' got closer and closer.

Zhao Zhou listened attentively, and when he couldn't hear the footsteps of the two leaving, he received all the corpses of these poisonous snakes and the branches that had fallen into the space.

"Fortunately, when I came here, I stored most of the flesh and blood in the space in the pawnshop, and let Wu Laogou deliberately leave it to guard. Otherwise, these six poisonous snakes more than ten meters long may not be able to fit them. ”

Zhao Zhou climbed the ancient tree, in addition to hearing the 'squeak' sound on the tree overhead, as if he heard the 'hissing' sound from under the ancient tree, he split a few bronze pillars, completely filled the space, and then entered the cave.

"But. It doesn't matter, now that the place is known, I'll come back and get it when I'm done with the oil." ”
