After that, Liang Houzai took out the evil talisman and suppressed the evil corpse in the cabinet.

The floor we were on just now was actually a basement, and we went up the stairs to the ground floor, and there were some wooden furniture scattered in this room, and the style of the furniture was very simple, as if the owner of the house had made it himself.

There was a locking door on the wall facing me, the window on the left side of the door seemed to have been hit hard, it was completely broken, the window frame was scattered, the wind came in through the broken window, adding a chill to the dilapidated old house, and the window on the right side was covered with a layer of leather, which looked like cowhide.

The light bulb hanging in the center of the roof had shattered, and a square opening had been made in the southwest corner of the roof, with a wooden ladder standing in the wall, and a wooden lid above the opening.

Liang Houzai walked over and whispered to me, "This place seems to be a small shelter. ”

I raised an eyebrow: "Shelter? ”

Liang Houzai nodded: "The windows are covered with leather, it seems that it is because the people who live here don't want to let the things outside find themselves." ”

As it spoke, I felt a corpse qi rapidly approaching this side, and immediately pulled everyone back into the shadows, avoiding the light shining through the broken window, and Liang Houzai didn't speak again, everyone stared at the broken window.

A few minutes later, three or four evil corpses passed by the window, and as they passed by, they glanced into the house.

However, their eyesight doesn't seem to be very good, and they don't notice us hiding in the shadows.

When the footsteps of the evil corpse were far away, Xian'er asked me, "Why are you hiding from them, such a weak evil corpse, you don't need to hide, right?" ”

I said, "Judging from the Qi field, there are a lot of evil corpses entrenched in this area, so try not to clash with them." ”

Liu Shangang said on the side: "Those evil corpses outside, it seems to be patrolling? ”

"There should be no fixed pattern in their movements, and the path of corpse qi movement is very scattered." After speaking, I said to Liang Houzai again: "You go on." ”

Liang Houzai: "I feel that the people who live in this house are all to avoid the evil corpses outside. But for some reason, they were discovered, and everyone turned into evil corpses. ”

Speaking of this, Liang Houzai paused and asked me, "Do these evil corpses have corpse poison on their bodies?" ”

I understood what he meant, and responded: "If the corpse poison on the corpse is very strong, after they bite the living, the injured person also has a certain chance of becoming the same evil corpse, but although these evil corpses also carry corpse poison, the toxicity is very weak, far from enough to make the corpse of a living person change." ”

Liang Houzai: "Then can these corpse poisons make the corpses of dead people change?" ”

I shook my head: "No, it's too weak." ”

Hearing me say this, Liang Houzai frowned: "According to what I said, all the evil corpses entrenched here are artificially refined, how advanced cultivation does it take to refine so many people into evil corpses?" ”

I've been thinking about this since I first entered the tunnel, and when I heard Houzai talk about it, I just sighed and didn't speak.

I heard Liang Houzai continue: "Perhaps, that person was divided several times before refining so many living corpses. Yes, it must be the case, the people in this house must have taken refuge after the local danger appeared, which shows that the locals did not encounter accidents at the same time. ”

As he spoke, Liang Houzai seemed to think of something, he first glanced at the smashed window, then lowered his head and searched carefully on the ground.

It didn't take much effort for Liang Houzai to dig out a fist-sized stone from a pile of broken wood, which should be the thing that broke the window, and on the surface of the stone, there was a strange sigil tattooed with red lacquer, which exuded an imperceptible yin qi.

Even though that yin qi was already very light, it was extremely pure.

This Qi field is very similar to the Qi field on the Yin jade, but there are slight differences, the Yin Qi on the Yin Jade is relatively peaceful, while the Yin Qi emanating from the stone is a little restless.

Liang Houzai asked me: "Is there a Qi field up here?" ”

Since the yin qi above had almost dissipated, he couldn't perceive them anymore, let alone Liang Houzai, even if I opened the eye of heaven and under the interference of those corpse qi outside, I couldn't find this stone in the first place.

I nodded at Liang Houzai: "Yin Qi, very pure Yin Qi." ”

Liang Houzai rubbed his chin with his hand: "I think it should be this stone that has refined the people in the house into living corpses." ”

I was about to speak when there was another sound of footsteps outside the window, and I immediately made a silent gesture to the people around me.

It wasn't long before two more demons passed by the window, and like the last time they passed by, they looked into the room as if they were in the habit of walking to the window.

When they walked away, I had forgotten what I wanted to say to Liang Houzai just now, so I just pointed to the square hole on the roof and said to Liu Shangang, "Go up and have a look." ”

Liu Shangang didn't talk nonsense, he jumped up the ladder with an arrow step, his hands and feet were light and fast, and he almost didn't make the slightest sound before going up to the roof, and then he gently lifted the wooden cover that pressed the square hole, and quickly stretched out his head to take a look.

He retracted his head and shouted at me in a low voice, "Go out to the rooftop, safe." ”

I beckoned to the others: "Go to the rooftop, and carry the back of the palace." ”

Liu Shangang immediately removed the lid completely and quickly drilled out along the hole in the roof.

I sensed that there were three corpse qi approaching us, and the closest one to us was about five hundred meters to the southeast.

It would take about three minutes for those evil corpses to cover the distance of five hundred meters.

At this time, Liu Shangang came out of the cave entrance, beckoned to me, and said "safe" again.

I didn't hesitate any longer, carefully put the stone in my hand on the ground, and climbed up to the roof as fast as I could, after me, Xian'er and Luo Fei came up in turn, and after half a minute, Liang Houzai also drilled up.

I couldn't help frowning: "Why is it so long?" ”

Liang Houzai stretched out his hand, and I saw that he was holding the stone with yin qi in his palm, and he had just turned back to pick up the stone halfway.

"What are you picking it up for?"

"Maybe it will work."

Liang Houzai said as he stuffed the stone into his backpack.

There was a thick layer of dust on the rooftop, and some grains were piled up not far away, giving off a musty smell.

On the perimeter of the roof were low walls of stone and clay, and under the battlements were scattered weapons that resembled spears, as well as several crossbows of crude workmanship.

Liu Shangang picked up a bow and crossbow, looked at it, and said to himself: "It can still be used." ”

The musty smell of the grain indicates that the millet has been stored here for a long time, and that the damp roof is not suitable for storing these things.

The refugees in the house must have stored the grain here, and they should have started storing the grain after the corpse appeared, and there should have been no precedent for storing food on the rooftop before that.

And the weapons stacked on the rooftop also seem to indicate that they have put up some kind of resistance here.

Liang Houzai glanced at the rooftop and said to me, "Perhaps, this place is not a refuge. ”

I didn't speak, just looked at Liang Houzai.

After a while, Liang Houzai said again: "There are weapons here, so I want to ...... The people in the house may want to prevent the evil corpses here from going to the Little Tianshan Mountain through the underground tunnel. Therefore, this is not a refuge, but a fortress used to guard the Little Tien Shan. ”

No matter what purpose this house ends up coming together, it doesn't really mean much to us now.

We entered this place for only two purposes, one was to confirm the life and death of Min, and the other was to find out the person who was refining the living corpse.

I carefully observed the evil corpses that I suppressed, and after the corpse qi dissipated, the green tendons on their faces would fade, and their facial features would basically return to their original appearance.

Among those evil corpses, there should be no sensitivity.

Although I haven't seen him for a few years, I still remember what Mindu looked like back then, and I hope his appearance hasn't changed much over the years.

At this time, Liu Shangang was leaning on the side of the low wall, looking outside. Liang Houzai and I also leaned down and quickly walked towards Liu Shangang's side.

Liu Shangang said to me briefly: "Tens of thousands." ”

As he spoke, he handed me the binoculars.

I didn't use the binoculars and stuffed it to Xian'er.

What I saw now was a huge village in the middle of a mountain, all the houses were made of wood, but the one we were in was the only flat-roofed house with a rooftop, and the rest of the houses were wooden spires.

The village was smoky, and in the gap between the fog and the houses, there were a large number of figures moving quickly, and I knew that they were all evil corpses.

The actions of these evil corpses should all have no purpose and no rules, and the corpse qi that was approaching us just now turned in other directions, and the several corpse qi that was originally getting farther and farther away from us came over again.

The smell of corpses and death permeated the village without any scruples, and this large village occupied by the walking dead was completely a misty hell on earth.

Liu Shangang raised his chin in the direction of due north: "There is a statue there, and there is a person standing on the top." ”

Xian'er pointed the telescope due north, and then handed it to me.

In the circular field of view of the telescope, I did see a large statue in the mist, the shape of the statue was very abstract, and I could only roughly distinguish that it was a human figure, and there was something in the left hand of the stone statue, which looked a bit like a pestle.

I immediately realized that the statue was depicting the same person who came here 3,000 years ago.

The last time we came, Mindu said that for 3,000 years, there was a man who claimed to be a disciple of Siddhartha, who preached the Dharma here, and selected the first generation of Mindu, and later the locals erected a stone statue in his honor.

At that time, Min Du also said that for them, this person was equivalent to a god.

As I was thinking about this, I noticed something moving on the top of the statue, and when I looked closely, I saw that it was a man standing on the statue, and he seemed to be waving his hand vigorously, I mean, it was like the fog was too big to see what he was doing.

But I was sure it was a real living person, because there was no corpse gas on the top of the statue.

I turned the gears on the frame, trying to zoom in on the image, and before I could adjust the focus, I vaguely saw two shadows quickly climbing up the stone statue.

Immediately afterwards, the person who was still "waving" his hand was pulled by some kind of force, and suddenly fell, although the fog was heavy, I could still tell that the person was dragged down by the two shadows that had newly appeared on the top of the stone statue.

And when those two shadows appeared, a faint corpse qi also appeared on the top of the stone statue, and after they disappeared, the corpse qi above the stone statue also disappeared.

Judging from the characteristics of the corpse qi, those who have just climbed to the top of the stone statue should not be the evil corpses we encountered before, and the corpse qi on their bodies is more mellow.
