Chapter One Thousand and Eighty-Eight: Corpse Blood
I asked Lao Zuo: "Do you remember who placed the order?" ”
Lao Zuo shook his head: "The other party came to me to place an order in the name of Luofu Mountain Gate, I don't know who he is, but I can be sure that that person is definitely not Qingyazi." ”
Qingyazi only has a deep connection with Luofu Mountain, but he is not from Luofu Mountain, it is impossible to place an order in the name of Shanmen, I didn't suspect Qingyazi just now, I suspect that he is a Kankan Taoist.
Looking at the entire Luofu Mountain, I also know Kankan Daoist.
Lao Zuo first put his body on the coffin board, as if he had listened carefully to the movement in the coffin, and after a moment, he straightened up again and shook his head thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Lao Zuo had a little suspicion on his face: "It's strange, there doesn't seem to be corpse qi inside the coffin, and the yin qi is not obvious." ”
I said that you can't see anything Mingtang if you look at it like this, just open the coffin and take a look.
Originally, I planned to break through the coffin lid directly, so as to save time and effort, but Lao Zuo said that this coffin might be able to be used for other purposes, and insisted on digging the grave first, and then lifting the coffin lid when the entire coffin lid was completely exposed.
At the time, he only spoke in a stiff tone, as if he had made up his mind to do so, but did not explain why.
I also learned later that this Nine Dragons Coffin is the most powerful of all the corpse coffins in the Shouzheng lineage, not to mention ordinary Yin corpses and evil corpses, even corpses can be towned.
Luofu Mountain set the Nine Dragons to press the coffin to suppress the corpse, theoretically speaking, the evil corpse they want to suppress must be quite powerful, even if it is not a corpse, at least it is a flying zombie.
It took us a lot of effort to dig up the whole grave, and the lid of the coffin was finally exposed.
Under the moonlight, a layer of frosty bright color floated on the coffin lid, which was a little dazzling.
Lao Zuo jumped into the grave, grabbed the side of the coffin lid with both hands and lifted it hard, the coffin lid had already been nailed off, and Lao Zuo just added force, and it was completely opened.
"Here, take a hand." Lao Zuo held the lifted lid with one hand, and beckoned Wu Xiangsong and me with the remaining hand.
He asked the two of us to pull the lid of the coffin engraved with the seal of the Nine Dragons out of the grave and told us to be careful.
Wu Xiangsong and I didn't dare to slack off, so we gently pulled the coffin lid out of the grave and carefully placed it on the ground, almost making no sound when the coffin lid touched the ground.
During this period, Lao Zuo had already opened the shroud pressed in the coffin, this cloth was completely black, and it was almost completely non-reflective, if it wasn't for Lao Zuo reaching out and pulling it up, I thought that the coffin was originally a dark abyss that could not be seen low.
When the shroud was removed, a dried corpse wrapped in a robe appeared in front of us.
I leaned to the edge of the grave and carefully looked at the details of the dried corpse, it should not be completely dead, although the skin and flesh all over the body have completely dried up, but under the translucent skin, you can still see the roots of the old tree.
The veins were so full that I could even feel the warm blood flowing through the grave as I stuck to the grave.
I've been in the industry for so long, and I've never seen a corpse like this.
I touched Lao Zuo's shoulder with my hand: "Is it an evil corpse?" ”
Unexpectedly, Lao Zuo, who was respected by the world as the "Corpse Dao Sect", also made a mistake at this time: "I have never seen such a corpse, it is obviously not dead, but it is not an ordinary evil corpse." As long as the ordinary evil corpse feels the yang energy on our body, it will cheat the corpse in an instant, but it seems to sleep too soundly. ”
In this world, there are even strange corpses that Lao Zuo has never seen.
But he didn't seem to care about the corpse, and when I asked him about it, he was looking at the black shroud.
I was suspicious, so I asked Lao Zuo: "Is there anything unusual about the piece of cloth in your hand?" ”
When I asked like this, Lao Zuo immediately frowned: "I also have a piece of this shroud in my hand." To be honest, I don't know what material it's made of, but the corpses wrapped in this thing don't seem to be normal. ”
In fact, when he said this, there was a very uncertain taste in his tone, as if he was questioning himself in his heart while saying such things.
I guess Lao Zuo must have thought of something at that time, but he thought in his heart that his idea was wrong.
Before we could continue to delve into the matter of the shroud, there was a sudden muffled sound of "bang" in the coffin.
Just now, the dry corpse suddenly curled up, and the muffled sound came from its knees hitting the coffin board.
Lao Zuo and I bowed our heads at the same time and refixed our eyes on the dry corpse, at this time, it was as if its whole body was continuously overpowered, and its whole body kept shaking violently.
Probably because of the severe dehydration of the bones all over the body, it shivered like this, and there were continuous "click" sounds on its body, as if the joints in all parts of the body were about to break.
Lao Zuo first reached out and touched the forehead of the dried corpse, then pulled out the green steel sword, and made a bloody cut on the main artery in the neck of the evil corpse.
Blood gushed out of the wound in an instant, and the temperature in the coffin actually rose a little.
The blood of the dried corpse actually carries body temperature, to be exact, the temperature should be slightly higher than the body temperature of a living person, but the strange thing is that the blood gushing out of it has formed a blood mist, but I can't smell the slightest smell of blood.
Lao Zuo reached out again and stroked the forehead of the dried corpse three or four times, and for a moment, Lao Zuo's facial muscles jerked out several times, and then he flipped his wrist and pierced the heart of the dried corpse with a green steel sword.
This time the corpse was truly dead, and it immediately stopped trembling, and the blood spurting out of the major artery in the neck became less and less.
After a few seconds, the blood mist in the coffin dissipated, and the "zizi" sound from the wound when it spurted blood finally died down.
Lao Zuo took out a handkerchief from his backpack and wiped the Qinggang Sword carefully, regardless of whether his attention seemed to be on the Qinggang Sword, at this time he was frowning, as if he was thinking about something.
In the face of this strange dried corpse, I have already had countless questions in my heart, but I think Lao Zuo should have seen the doorway on the corpse, after all, he is an expert in this area.
After a long time, Lao Zuo stopped what he was doing and looked up at me.
I raised my chin into the coffin: "What do you think?" ”
Lao Zuo said: "Not long ago, this thing should be a flying zombie with no ability to move. I don't know who it was, but they sucked up the evil qi, yin qi, and the little bit of life essence left on their bodies. ”
"The evil corpse still has the life essence on it?"
"How do you think they act like living people?"
As he spoke, Lao Zuo leaned down again, wiped a little blood from the dried corpse, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.
I had found out before that the blood did not carry any taste, except that the color was heavier, almost no different from white water.
Lao Zuo sniffed a few times, probably not finding anything abnormal, so he picked up the flashlight again and carefully lit the liquid in his hand.
After a moment, Lao Zuo nodded and said to himself: "Sure enough, that's the case." ”
I couldn't help but ask, "What did you find?" ”
Once I encounter something I don't understand, I find myself like Li Huaishan's mouth.
Fortunately, Lao Zuo was more patient and explained to me very seriously: "This is not the original blood of the evil corpses, the blood on their bodies has been replaced." Now the thing that flows in their veins is hydrogen peroxide! ”
I turned on my flashlight and shone the light into the coffin, and sure enough, the liquid ejected from the dried corpse was a very inconspicuous pale blue, and it was more viscous than water.
Hydrogen peroxide is indeed, yes.
Lao Zuo used the handkerchief that had tried the green steel sword to wipe the hydrogen peroxide off his palm, and the action was quite mechanical.
After a long time, he seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and hurriedly said to me and Wu Xiangsong: "Dig up the other graves as well, and hurry up!" ”
As soon as he opened his mouth like this, Wu Xiangsong and I dared to delay, and immediately started to demolish the grave.
Ninety-eight graves, not a small number, it is not easy to dig them all up, in order to speed up, Wu Xiangsong even used the golden body.
By the time we had dug up all the graves in the cornfield, it was noon the next day.
The sun was three poles, and the last Nine Dragons pressed the coffin was exposed to the sun.
During the day, the Ghost Eye's vision range was large enough to cover a radius of two kilometers, and I could clearly see the situation on the other side of the earthen house.
Originally, I thought that Liu Shangang would have some entanglements with the people in the village, but I didn't expect that the sobriety that was showing in front of my eyes now was a harmonious atmosphere.
Li Huaishan was giving cigarettes to a few old people in the village at this time, and the old people took his cigarettes with a smile, while talking to him about something, and there was also a young man standing under the broken wall of the earthen house, pointing to the cornfield from a distance, chattering at Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, and the look of resentment on this person's face was full of resentment, as if he was complaining.
Lao Zuo came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Open all the coffins." ”
I immediately greeted Wu Xiangsong: "Brother Wu, open the coffin!" ”
Opening the coffin at noon was specially instructed by Lao Zuo last night, he said that although the evil qi on the evil corpse has been dissipated, the flesh is still not a clean thing, and it is best to destroy all these corpses by the noon sun.
Moreover, he is also worried that there are still flying zombies in the coffin that have not been changed for blood, in case the flying zombies break out of the coffin, we will have to waste time to suppress the corpses, and at noon, even the flying zombies will be affected by the righteousness of Tianyang and become immobile.
The coffins were opened one by one, and almost every coffin was pressed with a layer of non-reflective shroud, and almost all of the corpses hidden under the shroud were dried corpses that had been exchanged for blood.
There is only one coffin exception.
When we opened the last coffin, there was no shroud inside, only a pair of white bones, and around the bones, there was a layer of white hair, which was the unique hair of the hairy monster, which seemed soft, but when we reached out to touch it, we found that they were like bent steel wires, full of toughness.
