Chapter 101: Twisted Corpse
But it is this kind of spirituality that makes these trees enough to become the eyes of the Five Tigers Capture Sheep Formation, but it provides some convenience for Senior Brother Feng.
There are a total of six formation eyes of the five tigers and sheep capture array, the first one is located at the intersection of the mountain road, four of which are four old banyan trees in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, the front five array eyes correspond to the five tigers, and the last one represents the formation eye of the "sheep", which is located next to the river of Erlong Bay.
When the first five formations were arranged, the evil spirit never appeared.
When Senior Brother Feng returned to the river with his steel helmet, he didn't immediately sprinkle water, but said to me: "The moment the sheep's eyes are arranged, the aura of Wang Long's tomb will volatilize, and when the yin qi leaks out, the bonfire will be extinguished in an instant." ”
Hearing Senior Brother Feng say this, my heart became even more nervous, and Liang Zi made a gesture towards the human wall next to the bonfire, and I saw that most of them put on their goggles as soon as possible, and three other people took off their goggles and threw them to Liang Zi.
Liang Zi handed the three goggles to me, Liang Houzai, and Senior Brother Feng respectively.
This kind of goggles was originally designed to resist strong light and shrapnel, and everything I see after wearing it will be much darker, and I wonder in my heart, why did Liang Zi wear goggles on this big night?
Liang Zi raised his gun to guard the surroundings and said to me: "Put on your goggles, take off the bonfire as soon as it goes out!" ”
His tone was very serious, and I didn't dare to think about it, so I immediately put on my goggles, and sure enough, after my vision was shrouded in the pale yellow of the goggles, I felt like the whole world was darkened.
Senior Brother Feng also put on his goggles, and at the same time, he sprinkled the last bit of water in the steel helmet on the riverbank, and at the same time, the last drop of water fell into the soil, and a very heavy yin qi suddenly rose in Erlong Bay behind us.
Immediately after that, a gust of wind mixed with yin qi and resentment blew from above the river, blowing straight towards the other five formations of the Five Tigers Sheep Capture Formation, each wind passed over the bonfire, like a basin of ice water splashed on the fire, making the fire of the bonfire instantly become extremely weak.
As a fifth wind swept over the campfire, the flames suddenly shook violently a few times before being extinguished.
The light suddenly dimmed, and I quickly took off my goggles, only to find that although the bonfire was extinguished, the scene I saw at this time was not much different from what I saw through the goggles.
Normally, when a person suddenly enters a relatively dark environment from a relatively bright environment, because they cannot adapt to the change of light for a while, their vision will become very weak for a short time. But because I had goggles with me, I had to adapt to the darkness before the campfire went out.
Sometimes I really have to admire Liang Zi's combat experience, which has formed a unique wisdom after a long period of precipitation.
Then Liang Zi made another gesture to the others, and the people who had gathered around the campfire moved quickly towards us, and four others lifted the captives, intending to get them near the river bank as well.
One of the captives was easily lifted, but the other was as if he had taken root in the ground, and no matter how much the two warriors pulled him, they could not pull him off the ground.
Liang Houzai and I saw that something was wrong, so we hurriedly rushed over.
One of the warriors held the captive by the neck in one hand, looked up at Liang Zi and shouted, "Someone is pulling him down there!" ”
By this time, Liang Zi and I had already reached the captive, and I saw that a small part of his body had sunk into the dirt, and on his waist, there was a slender little hand, pulling at his belt, as if trying to pull him into the ground!
When I saw that the captive had rolled his eyes and his body was twitching, I had a hunch that there might be a heavy poison in that little hand, and that if I stalemate for a while, the captive would probably die.
I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I immediately pulled out the mountain knife in my waist and swung it along the ground.
This wide-nosed knife is made of stainless steel, is extremely sharp, and swings with great power. The blade slashed along the ground, and I barely felt any resistance, and I severed the hand, and suddenly a small stream of black sticky blood splattered out of the severed arm, and the water came with a strong stench of corpses.
Liang Houzai kicked the captive away to prevent the black blood with corpse poison from splashing on him.
I looked towards the ground, only to see that there was nothing but the severed arm and a few stars of black blood, and there wasn't even a hole in the ground.
I also noticed that the palm of the severed arm was slender and light, and it was supposed to belong to a female corpse, and it also had some very fine gold and silver ornaments on its wrist.
But how did this hand come out of the ground?
Liang Houzai and I glanced at each other, but found that he was also confused, it seems that this time we have encountered strange things that are not recorded in the "Nine Corpses Map".
When Liang Houzai and I escorted the captive to the side of the river, Senior Brother Zhuang also came up to take a hand and asked me, "What was it just now?" ”
I shook my head: "It's supposed to be an evil corpse, but I don't see what kind of corpse it is." Only one hand came out of the ground, but there was no hole in the ground. ”
Senior Brother Feng on the side frowned: "Escape!" ”
Hearing Senior Brother Feng say this, Senior Brother Zhuang's expression also became very solemn, and he heard him say, "Could it be that I met a twisted corpse?" Trouble. ”
With the scene at that time, I was not in the mood to ask Senior Brother Zhuang what kind of evil corpse he was with, but when I knew that the evil corpse would escape, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
It's no wonder that I haven't been able to feel the yin qi on the evil corpse since just now, it turns out that it is underground. I can't feel its yin energy, and I can't confirm its location, in case it suddenly emerges from under the ground...... No matter how bad I am, I still have the black water corpse coffin to protect me, and the evil corpse can't do anything to me, but if it targets Liang Zi and them, so many people, I can't guarantee everyone's safety.
Liang Houzai was probably thinking about the same question, but his brain was faster than mine, and after a while, I heard him ask me Senior Brother Zhuang: "There are so many of us here, why did that evil corpse want to attack this person, is it a coincidence or what?" ”
Senior Brother Zhuang glanced at the captive's face, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a coincidence, looking at this person's face, his ears are gray and his eyes are yellow, and his tears are black, he is overindulgent, and his essence is insufficient. Generally speaking, evil spirits are more likely to attack such people, and this is true of ghosts, and the same is true of evil corpses. Coupled with the aura of the Dragon King's Tomb, which can suppress this evil corpse to a certain extent, it should now have the ability to attack others. ”
As soon as Senior Brother Zhuang finished speaking, Senior Brother Feng suddenly spoke: "Be careful, there may be variables in the Dragon King's Tomb, and the aura is weakening!" ”
Hearing Senior Brother Feng say this, I noticed that the yin qi in the air was really a little thinner than before.
It took so much effort to draw out the aura of the Dragon King's Tomb, but before I saw it play a role, it had begun to weaken.
I felt irritable for a while, and at the same time began to worry about my master, Senior Brother Feng said that in addition to the variables in the tomb of the Dragon King, no one could say what kind of variables they were. I just hope nothing happens to my master.
I was still worried about Master's safety, when Liang Houzai leaned into my ear and said, "Brother Dao, we have to lure out the evil corpse." ”
I didn't react for a moment, and I was stunned before I asked him, "What do you mean?" ”
Liang Houzai said to me: "The aura that Brother Feng brought out from the Dragon King's Tomb is very weak in itself, otherwise, the evil corpse would not have acted immediately after the bonfire was extinguished. This aura continues to weaken, and now the evil corpse can only attack the current captive, but if it continues like this, everyone present will be in danger. Only the black water corpse coffin on your back can stop the evil corpse. ”
Liang Houzai is right, when the aura of the Dragon King Tomb weakens a little more, the evil corpse will be able to move freely, it must be brought out first, it is best to be able to suppress it, even if it can't be suppressed, at least figure out what it is first.
But how to draw it out, I was worried in my heart, and my eyes fell on the captive, the captive who had been attacked by the evil corpse just now, and I found that Liang Houzai was also looking at him at this time.
Throwing this captive out may be able to catch the evil corpse, but he's a big living man, and even if he's an enemy, we can't let him take the risk.
Liang Houzai and I were both hesitating, and Liang Zi, who had been by our side since just now, suddenly walked over, picked up the prisoner and ran in the direction of the bonfire that had burned out before arguing.
Liang Zi heard all the conversations between us, he knew our plans and made a decision for us.
Liang Houzai and I hurriedly followed Liang Zi, and when Liang Zi put the prisoner on the ground, he patted the prisoner on the shoulder and said, "I can't help it today, I will use you as bait." Don't worry, if you really burp tonight, I'll help you burn two more pieces of yellow paper on this day in the coming year. ”
The captive's mouth was gagged, but his eyes were full of fear, and he faced Liang Zi, twisting desperately, and emitting a series of rapid "hum" sounds from his nose, as if in protest.
Liang Houzai pressed his face to the ground, as if he wanted to sense the aura of the evil corpse.
But the evil corpse probably sank too deep into the ground, Liang Houzai shook his head helplessly and stood up.
None of us can be sure that this captive can lure the evil corpse out, and there is no other way to do this now, and what I am most worried about now is not the evil corpse, but the life and death of this captive.
If he dies in front of me like this, I will definitely feel guilty for the rest of my life.
Liang Houzai posted a few more spirit runes on the ground nearby, only deliberately leaving a gap in the northwest direction, I know Liang Houzai's intentions, with these spirit runes as a barrier, if the evil corpse wants to do it, it can only come from the northwest, and we can also concentrate and only pay attention to the movement in the northwest.
