I immediately froze and listened to the sounds around me.

The wind swept through the woods, and the leaves trembled sharply, making waves of "rustling" sounds, but I didn't hear anything else.

I turned around and raised an eyebrow at Huang Yuzhong, revealing an inquiring look.

Huang Yuzhong understood, and immediately raised his hand and pointed to the northeast direction of the forest, which meant that the voice came from that direction.

Then I reached out and patted Li Huaishan's shoulder, and when Li Huaishan turned around, I raised my hand and pointed in the northeast direction.

Li Huaishan nodded quickly, and then he touched the northeast, and the three of us followed.

The grass in the forest is very dense, and there are many shrubs around, so it is not easy to move silently, but despite this, everyone deliberately slowed down their movements and tried not to make their own sound too abrupt.

The "rustling" sound that filled the forest hid our whereabouts to a certain extent, unless it was a demon like Huang Yuzhong, no one should be able to spot us from a distance.

After walking about five or six hundred meters, everyone heard a strange noise from the northeast.

Bang, bang, bang......

The sound was very muffled, it sounded like a pillow slamming against a soft mattress.

At first, the sound appears about once a second or two, but then the interval slowly drags on, and the sound gets softer and softer until it disappears completely.

After a while, it began to reappear at a frequency of once every second or two, and then the interval was lengthened and the sound disappeared...... Cycle.

After a few minutes, we finally saw the source of the muffled noise.

In the grass surrounded by several old trees, a small purple figure was moving rapidly.

It looked as tall as an adult's knee, swollen all over, and its skin was a dark purple that was almost grayish-black, and I was not too far away from it at the time, and I could sense a faint smell of corpse from it.

It should be a corpse baby!

Li Huaishan had already stopped to watch, and I gently pushed him from behind, signaling him to come closer.

Under the guidance of Li Huaishan, everyone put their steps very lightly and slowly approached them.

When there were still three or four meters away from the grass, the appearance of the corpse baby became very specific in the line of sight, if you look at it from the back alone, it is a purple baby, its limbs are fat and short, but the head is very wide, but its fat is not caused by fat accumulation, but because of the excessive swelling of the body to present an illusion.

The thing's eyes were a sickly yellow, but its pupils were like snakes, in an upright vertical line.

The word corpse baby, in fact, was coined by Zuo Youdao, in the older classics, there is no distinction between the evil corpse of the dead baby and other kinds of evil corpses, and it is also because of Lao Zuo that only people in the industry know that the corpse transformation process of dead babies is mostly different from ordinary corpses, and the evil corpses derived from them are often not fixed.

Because Lao Zuo's vein is good at the way of corpses, all kinds of records about evil corpses in the industry are based on their vein. When I was in confinement in the West Hall, many of the classics I read, as long as they involved evil corpses, had been changed at great lengths according to the remarks of Lao Zuo and his master Chai Zongyuan.

However, according to Lao Zuo, most of the evil qi on the corpse baby is very strong, but in front of him, there is only a little scattered corpse qi on his body.

When I first saw the corpse baby, it was lying motionless on its side on the ground, and there was no muffled sound.

After a few moments, it got up from the ground again and scurried down the hill.

Boom!

Before it could run a few paces, it was shaken back with a muffled thud, and I glanced in the direction from which the sound had come from, and there was nothing.

The corpse baby was shocked and took two steps back, and then stabbed its head down the hillside, and when it rushed to the position it had just felt, a muffled sound appeared out of thin air, and it was also shaken back again.

In that position, there seemed to be an invisible soft wall, and every time the corpse baby was pushed over, it would bounce back.

And every time I was shaken back, I could feel that the corpse qi on the corpse baby's body seemed to be dispersed, and it was spreading into the air little by little.

The corpse qi was weakened, and the movement of the corpse baby gradually slowed down, and the frequency of muffled noises was greatly reduced.

Half a minute later, almost all of the corpse qi on its body was dispersed elsewhere, and the last time it was shaken back, it lay on the ground on all fours, and it was impossible to move.

But it didn't take long for the corpse qi to gradually return to its body, and it stood up again and continued to rush down the mountain.

I couldn't help frowning, it seemed that someone had laid an enchantment here, and the corpse baby would not be able to escape.

As I thought about it, I turned my gaze to the old building in the distance, and now I could see the chimney on the roof through the gaps in the leaves.

It is estimated that there are still a lot of corpses and babies trapped in that old building, what do the people of Buzhou Mountain want to do?

Huang Yuzhong held a long whip and cautiously walked over from the end of the line, and at this moment he happened to come to me, I immediately reached out and grabbed him, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Give it relief." Huang Yuzhong said these four words briefly, his eyes kept staring at the corpse baby three meters away, with a hint of compassion between his eyebrows.

In fact, I have always felt that Huang Yuzhong may be a person with great compassion, but sometimes, being too compassionate is an irrational performance.

Sun Luyuan also came up and asked me in a low voice, "Are you going to take it down?" ”

I shook my head: "The corpse baby may have been released by the people in the old building, and he did this, firstly, he could rely on the corpse baby to scare away ordinary people who strayed here, and secondly, it was also to prevent people like us." Now that you have suppressed the corpse baby, as soon as the corpse qi disperses, the person on the old building is likely to notice the change in the Qi field in the forest, and then he will know that the people in the trade have touched it. ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Sun Luyuan said "it makes sense", but his footsteps didn't stop for a moment, and walked straight towards the corpse baby, Huang Yuzhong also wanted to follow, I pulled him hard, and pulled him to his side.

Huang Yuzhong was inexperienced and couldn't understand my intentions, so he immediately threw me an unhappy and puzzled expression.

I didn't bother to explain too much, I just raised my chin towards Sun Luyuan's back, Huang Yuzhong frowned, and moved his gaze to Sun Luyuan's side.

Sun Luyuan was almost in front of the corpse baby's face, and the corpse baby realized that there were people around him, the corpse on this guy's body was too weak, and his perception of anger was naturally very poor.

When it saw Sun Luyuan, it didn't launch an offensive at the first time, so it knew that it was standing there stunned, staring at Sun Luyuan.

"You shouldn't be able to escape by tying your ankles." Sun Luyuan said something to himself, then put his hand into his pocket and pinched out a thin red line.

The corpse baby probably sensed the spirit rhyme on the red line, and suddenly became irritable, and waited for Sun Luyuan with grinned teeth, but he still didn't dare to step forward.

Sun Luyuan ignored it, straightened the red line by himself, and pressed a mouthful of mental power into it.

As expected, once Sun Luyuan started to perform the operation, the corpse baby couldn't hold it back, and jumped up on the spot and rushed straight to Sun Luyuan's front door.

Sun Luyuan held the red thread in one hand, reached out with his other hand, easily grabbed the corpse baby's shoulder, and then pressed down with one hand and pressed the corpse baby to the ground.

As soon as the swollen face of the corpse baby submerged into the grass, Sun Luyuan quickly got up, first summoned a yang qi to suppress the corpse baby, and then shook off the red thread in his hand, circled the corpse baby's left ankle twice, and tied a dead knot with one hand.

Sun Luyuan's knotting speed was very fast, and at this moment his fingers seemed to become very gentle, and when his fingertips flew, a complex knot had been tied.

"It's finished." Sun Luyuan straightened up, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, turned around and gave me a smile.

I also laughed, and then patted Li Huaishan on the back: "Hurry up." ”

The corpse baby was still pressed with yang energy, and he couldn't get up for a while, so a few of us just took this opportunity to quickly leave the turf.

On the way, Huang Yuzhong also asked Sun Luyuan in a whisper: "What did you get just now?" ”

Sun Luyuan smiled and responded: "Tie a lock knot on the corpse baby's feet, so that it can't run far." ”

I thought Huang Yuzhong would continue to ask, but he chose to remain silent, probably because he didn't want to appear too ignorant.

Speaking of which, Sun Luyuan bothered to put a lock on the corpse baby's feet, which was really necessary. When we get to the old building, there will be a high chance of fighting with the people upstairs, but once we do, it is difficult to say whether the trapped corpse array on the mountain can still play a role, in case we let the corpse baby run to the nearby village, but there will be a big mess. Therefore, it is necessary to make some arrangements in advance to trap it on the mountain without harming the life of the corpse baby.

Huang Yuzhong's experience is too shallow, he definitely can't think of these things, but I don't blame him, people who come out to run the rivers and lakes for the first time have similar problems, didn't Li Huaishan and I come over like this?

It didn't take long for the Corpse Infant to regain its strength, and then it remembered the muffled sound behind us, and now that we had distanced ourselves from the Corpse Baby, it could not sense our anger, and it could not catch up with it again.

Climbing up the hillside, it took about half an hour before and after we came to the old factory dormitory.

The outer wall of the dormitory area is dilapidated, and some places have rotted out big holes, and someone has pressed a wooden fence into the hole to prevent the whole wall from collapsing, but in some places it still collapsed, most of the wall is missing, and there are only a few stacks of crooked old turns on the ground, and the cement that was originally covered with bricks is also scattered everywhere.

Li Huaishan was about to raise his leg to step over an end wall, when Huang Yuzhong ran over briskly and pulled Li Huaishan's backpack.

Li Huaishan turned his head to look at him, he didn't explain much, just quickly lowered his body and hid under the wall.

As soon as I saw Huang Yuzhong's actions, I knew that there must have been another movement in the courtyard, so I hurriedly lowered my body, and Li Huaishan and Huang Yuzhong also hid their bodies under the broken wall for the first time.
