Chapter Seventy-Three: Refining Corpses
Now I can clearly feel that a strange cold aura seems to be constantly spreading out from the corpses.
And under the action of air, it gradually fills the entire basement.
From this breath, it can be inferred that what I guessed before was not wrong.
I don't know what the four men outside the house were doing with their souls after killing their bodies!
But I know very well how they do it.
At this moment, I vaguely remembered that I had seen a secret method called "Refining Corpses" in an ancient book before.
This kind of secret method needs to be guided by human blood and supplemented by the flesh before it can be used.
And it must be used immediately upon physical death, and it will be invalid after expiration.
It is said that the moment the secret method takes effect, the soul that leaves the body will be pulled by a strange force, and then forcibly dragged into its own dead body.
In this way, both the corpse and the soul can be successfully preserved. Moreover, while the Yin Qi of the soul continues to increase, it can also nourish the physical body, so that it will not decay like an ordinary corpse.
It's quite magical.
However, this secret method of refining corpses was lost a long time ago because it was too cold.
Is it a blessing or a curse to fall into this strange secret method to reappear? I don't know.
Thinking of this, my gaze involuntarily scanned over the corpses in front of me.
I only found that at this moment, those corpses, attracted by the yang energy of me and Ke Meng, suddenly became irritable, and a pair of eyes filled with black stared directly at me and Ke Meng, as if they were looking at food.
The most terrifying thing is that as their irritability continues to intensify, a strange layer of black fluff grows on the outside of their bodies.
In addition, on the tips of the black fluff, drops of dew-like liquid can be seen seeping out.
When it is free from its body, it drips directly onto the ground, and in an instant, puffs of green smoke burst out of the liquid and merge directly into the air.
I seem to have seen this strange smoke somewhere, but I can always feel that the memories of the smoke are on the edge of my mind, but no matter how hard I try, I can't extract it.
As the smoke continued to increase, I could clearly see that the air in front of me had been completely filled with a layer of green smoke, and it was constantly spreading in our direction.
At the moment, I inadvertently smelled a puff of green smoke.
This breath is deeply memorable to me. The reason why I say this is because a long time ago, I went to a music training institution related to the Nine Turns Xuanying.
On the roof of the training institution, there will always be a ten-tailed demon fox.
And when Wu Jiu went deep into the training institution that day, the ten-tailed demon fox once appeared in front of us, and roared loudly in front of the two of us with its bloody mouth.
After that, we enter the training facility, and it's a different story entirely. Because, because of the ten-tailed demon fox, we have fallen into a strange illusion.
As for the smoke I saw now, although the eye color was a little special, the smell it released was the same as that of the ten-tailed demon fox's mouth, and it could really be said that they were the same.
Therefore, it seems to me that the green smoke in front of us, once inhaled, may also cause an illusion in our minds.
And now, if I have never carried the Pure Heart Pill, when the time comes, it will not be so simple to get rid of the shackles of illusion.
Thinking of this, I no longer hesitated, but directly pulled Ke Meng in the direction of the basement exit.
"Ke Meng, hurry up and go with me, remember, don't inhale the green smoke here, hold your breath, and we'll go out soon." While running, I was worried that Ke Meng would accidentally inhale the smoke and cause her to fall into a fantasy, so I hurriedly reminded her loudly.
As for Ke Meng, after hearing my reminder, he suddenly held his breath, and then puffed out his cheeks and followed me briskly under the traction of my palm.
As for the strange smoke, it seems that we have already discovered our intention to leave, so it turned into a large green smoke hand out of thin air and quickly attacked in my direction.
The momentum is menacing, as if they want to kill us here.
However, it tried to compete with me, but it was still slightly inferior.
After we successfully left the basement, I hurriedly closed the basement door and brought in some heavy objects to serve in the doorway. After making sure it was safe, I heard the basement door banging from the inside out.
I didn't pay too much attention to this, I smiled bitterly, and then pulled Ke Mengxing, who was panting for breath, out of the hotel and returned to the car smoothly.
"Ouyang, what exactly are the things that were hanging in the basement just now?" calmed down the tension in his heart slightly, Ke Meng looked at me beside him with a puzzled expression, and then asked softly.
"Ke Meng, tell me, what did you just see in the basement?" Surprised by Ke Meng's sudden question, I smiled bitterly in surprise and asked eagerly.
"I just saw bells hanging in the air like brass bells in the basement, which was fun." Listening to the so-called very interesting things coming out of Ke Meng's mouth, the surprise in my heart was a little stronger.
If I'm not mistaken, when I entered the basement, the blue light that illuminated the basement was probably already containing the illusion effect.
Otherwise, how could Ke Meng mistake that corpse for a huge bell in such a short period of time.
Fortunately, as far as I know, all illusions that arise when stimulated by light are triggered. As long as you stay away from the light, you can gradually reduce the effect of the illusion. Therefore, Ke Meng doesn't need me to take any measures to dispel her illusion now, she just needs to stay away from this hotel.
"Hehe, Ke Meng, since that thing is so fun, then you can just smile happily." After that, I slowly fastened the seat belt for Ke Meng, and then explained to Ke Meng with a smile: "Ke Meng, you can sleep in the car for a while now, I'll go driving, and when you wake up, we will arrive." ”
Hearing this, Ke Meng on the side smiled at me, and then slowly leaned back on the car seat behind him and fell asleep.
As for me, I returned to the driving position, started the car, and then moved forward according to the determined destination.
As for the inside of the hotel, I don't have to worry about it, after all, I've already called the police. I believe that soon the police will find out everything in the hotel and make it public
After a few hours of driving, we finally managed to come to the vicinity of the village where Mrs. Wu lived.
However, what happened in the village at this moment surprised me very much. Because I saw that at this moment at the entrance of the village, there was a long queue of people.
It's only four o'clock in the morning, and although the drowsiness in the sky has been reduced, there is still no early morning feeling.
At this time, let alone a village, even in a city, you may not be able to see a few pedestrians on the road.
But isn't it strange that there is a long queue of people in this village in front of me?
Moreover, in the front section of the long dragon, it can be clearly seen that there is a group of people holding strange remains, constantly walking forward.
The characters in the posthumous photos are of different ages. The younger ones are twenty or thirty years old, and the older ones are not more than seventy years old.
However, what puzzled me was, what happened to this village, and why did so many people die all of a sudden?
Moreover, the strangest thing is the clothes they wear, I always feel like the shroud I wore in the underworld before, and on top of this clothes, there is a faint strange aura released.
"Ou, Ouyang, what the hell is going on with them, why are they wearing such weird clothes, and they are still holding their will. Did all of them die in one day? Otherwise, how could you choose a time for the funeral? At this moment, Ke Meng seemed to be a little unacceptable by their outfits. So, he hurriedly pulled me beside him and asked in a low voice.
And after listening to Ke Meng's words, my whole person was shocked.
Just now, I only noticed the posthumous images in their hands, but I forgot the time of death of the people in the posthumous images.
And after Ke Meng's reminder, I came back to my senses.
After a person dies, the time of the funeral is strictly fixed, and there is nothing wrong with burying it earlier.
However, if the time of entering the earth is deliberately delayed, it is likely to affect a series of problems in the reincarnation of the soul of the deceased.
Therefore, after death, the deceased must be buried within a specified period of time.
Therefore, we can completely rule out that these villagers deliberately delayed the funeral time together.
So, what is it that makes so many people die in this village in such a short period of time?
"Ke Meng, don't worry, there may be some epidemic in this village, which is why so many people died at once." Although my mouth is constantly appeasing Ke Meng at the moment, this kind of lie can't deceive me at all.
Because I know very well that in this day and age, there is simply no epidemic that can take so many lives in such a short period of time.
Therefore, there must be something strange in this matter.
Just as I was surprised by this, the villagers turned their heads and stared at the cars parked on the side of the road.
And from their eyes, I can faintly see that a strange anger is constantly rising.
"Folks, it's the disaster they have brought us, quick, go up and kill them." As the anger in his heart continued to intensify, a villager with a hideous expression instigated the villagers next to him, brandished his tools, and angrily attacked in the direction of our car.
