PS: The starting point of Hua Man Lou's works.

After Esetti knelt down, he gathered in front of the old man to clean up the broken ice, Gao Chao and the fat man also wanted to help, but Aceti politely refused.

Xia Qing explained to Gao Chao in a low voice that this is the religious habit of Mu/Slin, except for believers, they are all regarded as impure, so non-Mu/Slin personnel must not touch the body of the saint, otherwise they may attract the most fierce revenge.

Gao Chao listened to Xia Qing's explanation, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, just now he was riding on the neck of the saint, if this is counted, I am afraid there is no more serious violation than this, if this is the character of Aseti and the fat man, it is estimated that he has died I don't know how many times.

It didn't take long for Esseti to clean up the broken ice around the old man, and everyone saw that the old man was standing in the broken ice, he was dressed in a white robe, his figure was thin, but very straight, a pair of arms were crossed in front of his chest, and his hands were full of various gemstone rings, under the firelight, shining brightly, and the fat man almost drooled.

Except for the fat man, Gao Chao and Xia Qing were not looking at the jewels in the hands of those old men, but their eyes had already fallen on the thing that the old man was holding in his arms.

It was an inconspicuous thing, but it was even more puzzling, it was a thick parchment.

The old man's body was no different from a living person, except that he was not breathing, but he crossed his arms over his chest, still clutching the parchment scroll, and Essati was already kneeling on the ground. He leaned down and pressed his forehead against the old man's feet, groaning in their own language. Gao Chao and Xia Qing couldn't understand what he was saying, but they could guess that Essetti must be chanting a prayer.

Gao Chao looked at the parchment scroll and whispered to Xia Qing beside him: "Do you think that book will be the legendary 'holy book'?" ”

Xia Qing said in a smaller voice: "If it's really the 'Holy Book', then it's a bit troublesome. ”

Gao Chao thought about it, and then he was a little shocked: "You mean...... That legend? ”

The two men talked in a whisper. Essetti suddenly stood up from the ground, and then somehow he took two steps back. Gao Chao looked at him in shock, but found that although Aiseti stood firm and no longer retreated, his body seemed to be trembling a little.

"Estie. What happened to you? ”

Gao Chao is behind Aceti. He couldn't help but want to ask.

Essetti seemed to be stunned, he stared ahead, and did not even say a word.

At this time, it was the fat man who had been staring at a few gemstone rings, and suddenly shouted: "No, look at it, this ...... The old man's body seemed to move. ”

The fat man screamed out, and everyone was scared. An ancient corpse, even if it is well preserved. How could it be moved.

Gao Chao and Xia Qing both hurried to look at the corpse of the old man not far away, but they immediately found that what the fat man said did not seem to be an exaggeration.

In the midst of the firelight, the old man's body seemed to be really moving.

His whole body was trembling slightly, and occasionally he seemed to be able to hear a sound, which "gurgled" from the old man's body, although the sound was not loud, but it was like the sound of the old man's bones moving between his bones.

Looking at the old man's face again, his face seemed to be moving, the corners of his mouth seemed to be rising slightly, and his eye sockets seemed to be trembling slightly, as if he was about to open his eyes at any time.

Gao Chao was already dumbfounded, one of his hands, subconsciously wanted to touch the handle of the knife on his waist, but after touching it, he felt a little cold, it turned out that the long knife was no longer in his waist, just because he threw it and broke the disc on the top of the tomb, the long knife was still on the ground not far away.

Gao Chao looked at the changes in the old man's body, he became more and more uncertain, if the corpse would also be corpsed, I am afraid that several of them were unarmed, and they didn't know what kind of danger it would be.

Thinking of this, Gao Chao slowly moved towards the knife on the ground not far away.

But Essetti fell to his knees again before the old man's body, and he fell to the ground, plunging his forehead into the icy water, and his mouth was full of thoughts, as if he did not want to respond to such a situation.

Gao Chao picked up the long knife from the ground, held the handle tightly with one hand, and stared at the old man's body, he had already made a plan, as long as the old man's body changed again, he immediately rushed forward, and wanted to cut off the old man's head as soon as possible.

At this very nervous moment, the old man's hands that were crossed on his chest suddenly hung down from his chest, although the hand was only hanging down to one side, but this action scared everyone, and the fat man even called out "Mom", and turned around directly to escape.

Gao Chao also saw this change, he had already made a plan, as soon as he saw that the old man's body was really going to change, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and directly rushed to the old man's body in two steps, and at the same time, the long knife was already in his hand, and it had already been raised high, as long as it took another half a second, the knife flashed, and I was afraid that the old man's head would have to move from now on.

At the last moment, I heard Xia Qing suddenly shout: "Stop!" ”

Gao Chao had already used his strength, and his knife had almost been swung out, but Xia Qing's voice surprised him, and the sound of the knife fell, Gao Chao immediately twisted his wrist, just a little bit, and the long blade was close to the old man's body.

Gao Chao turned his head to look at Xia Qing, but found that Aseti was also kneeling on the ground and looking at him, needless to say, Aseti's eyes were full of doubt, incomprehension, and anger.

Gao Chao was a little embarrassed when he was looked at by Ai Saiti like this, so he had to quickly turn his eyes to look at Xia Qing, and then asked, "What's wrong?" What's the situation? ”

Xia Qing said: "This is not what you think, this ...... This is not a corpse. ”

"What? Not a corpse? ”

Gao Chao was puzzled, so he turned his head to look again, but found the old man's body, and sure enough, at this moment, there was a new change.

I saw that although the old man's body was still trembling, the trembling seemed to have become weak, and it was about to stop in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the old man's exposed skin, especially the color of the skin on his face and neck, there has been a certain change, the original white and red color, I don't know when, there have been a lot of dark brown spots, one by one, more and more, like rotten spots on rotten apples.

Gao Chao was a little frightened when he saw this, and couldn't help but take a step back.

He turned his head to look at Xia Qing again and said, "This ...... What's going on? ”

Xia Qing approached the old man's corpse, looked at the changing corpse, and said, "This corpse is probably decomposing rapidly." ”

"Rot?" Gao Chao couldn't believe what Xia Qing said, and said puzzledly: "But...... But how did it rot so quickly? Look, there's ice all around here. ”

Xia Qing did not answer Gao Chao immediately, but squatted down and carefully began to examine the feet of the old man's corpse.

The bottom of the corpse had been immersed in the blood-red river water, and in order to see it more carefully, Xia Qing stretched out a hand, wanting to lift the old man's robe and see if there had been any changes in the corpse's feet.

However, just as Xia Qing stretched out her hand and didn't touch the corner of the robe, Aiseti behind her stood up and shouted, "Don't move!" ”

Xia Qing was frightened and turned to look at Aceti.

Essetti sighed and said, "Let me come." (To be continued.) )
