Chapter 198: Mysterious Ancient Corpse

This grandma's words made my heart move again, she bluntly said that I was the host of the Dark Spirit King, but she didn't mention the Blood Spirit King of the same level at all. There is only one possibility, and that is that she should not know that the Blood Spirit King is also hidden in my blood, and it is even more hidden than the Dark Spirit King.

Brother Long, it seems that they didn't tell her all the things......

I turned my head to look at Brother Long, who was facing forward and continued to walk calmly, without any change in his expression. I also put this matter in my heart and did not mention it on the spot, but changed the topic: "More than 700 years ago, it was when Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was later called Hongwu the Great, attacked the Yuan Dynasty and competed with the heroes for the world. Thinking about grandma's ancestors, he should have assisted a certain hero to fight with Zhu Yuanzhang for the world, right? ”

Grandma smiled: "It seems that Xiaolong has really cultivated you very well and is very cultured." This is what people in my generation should be, Taoism is supernatural after all, it is something outside the body, and it is necessary to master enough knowledge to study the mysteries of heaven and earth is the true righteous way. It's like those scientists now, but they are completely subservient to theoretical research, and they have no practical ability, so they can be regarded as going down the wrong path. ”

I didn't expect this old lady in a hidden village in the mountains to have such insight, which surprised me. But thinking about her spell cultivation, it was also relieved. If you don't have a deep understanding of this world and your own opinions, there is no way to cultivate the Xuanmen Spell to such a point.

Cultivating the Tao is cultivating Taoism, but also the human heart, and it is also the cognition of the way of heaven.

The three of us stopped talking, and walked quietly up and down the suspended stone path, passing all kinds of strange corpses along the way, and I even saw the corpse of a giant bird with wings four or five meters wide, but I didn't know what it was......

The further down I went, the more I found that the various corpses on the mountain walls and summits that surrounded and around this suspended stone path exuded a dusty and ancient atmosphere, as if they were cut off from time and left in the distant past.

Obviously, the distribution of the corpses of this 10,000 corpse mound is getting worse the further down it goes.

Grandma spoke again at this time: "Our sons and daughters of the Jin family, every one of them will be tested for spiritual talent when they are born, and more than 80% of them have the possibility of becoming a corpse chaser. These future corpse chasers will learn related things from an early age, and when they are ten years old, they will be allowed to enter this mass of ten thousand corpses alone and choose a corpse as their own natal corpse puppet. This is a two-way choice between the Jin family and these ancient corpses. ”

I was a little curious: "So the golden zombie snake of the golden snake was also obtained in this ten thousand corpse mounds?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Grandma actually sighed and said, "Alas, this kid Golden Snake...... The situation is a bit peculiar, and it's a long story. After that, Jiang Ming, you may know, after all, our Jin family has a lot to do with your group, and I don't know if Xiaolong has told you. ”

I was tempted to say no, but I thought about the words and swallowed them back. The reason why I ran away from home is that this guy has always treated me as a child who didn't grow up and didn't tell me anything. If you say that now, don't make the relationship with this guy stiff again.

At this time, we are almost at the bottom of this grave of ten thousand corpses. Looking back, in this gem-like green underground world, a suspended stone path floating in the air looks ethereal and mysterious.

Suddenly, at our feet, at the very bottom of the 10,000 corpse mounds, which could already be seen faintly, a suffocating aura of yin and evil rose up to the sky. It almost made me feel like I was going to stop breathing! It was as if there was a peerless beast staring at me murderously in front of me, making my blood almost freeze, and my body stiffened and I didn't dare to move.

"Not good! That ancient corpse is starting to be unstable again, let's speed up, otherwise, I'm afraid things will change. ”

The grandmother in front of her suddenly changed her face, her voice showed some anxiety, and she quickened her pace. The Xuanmen powerhouse who was able to make her strength so panicked, and she knew with her toes how powerful that thing was in the depths of the Ten Thousand Corpse Grave. What's more, the aura of antiquity, vicissitudes and power exuded by this is enough to tell the story.

Brother Long stretched out his hand and pressed my shoulder, and suddenly a martial arts qi and blood that was as strong as a scorching flame spread out. It was as if a blood-red flame had enveloped me. Only then did I feel a little more comfortable, and the stiffness that I didn't have a good blood flow was gone.

I looked up at Brother Long, he shook his hair very stinkily and said, "Boy, that ancient corpse is too powerful, and it is harmful to your body to resist this evil qi, so I will help you." ”

This Brother Long, even if he cares about people, looks like a stinky fart. I gave him a blank look and didn't speak, and then he and the grandmother quickened up and walked quickly towards the bottom of the ten thousand corpses.

Finally, we came to the very bottom of this mysterious mass grave.

At the bottom of this 10,000 corpse mound, the surrounding strange rocks are craggy, exuding the ancient atmosphere of the wilderness, as if you have come to another world. Moreover, the number of corpses here is not very large, or to be precise, there are no corpses here at all.

Because there are buildings on the ground around this place that resemble tombs, but the smallest of these buildings are almost four or five meters high, and the largest ones are more than ten meters high, and they are built of high-quality stones, not so much tombs as huge stone houses.

These stone houses are scattered at the vast bottom of this mass grave, and it really looks like the huge tombs of ancient giants.

I had already guessed in my heart that the corpses that could be placed in this place must have an amazing origin during their lifetimes. As a result, the number was scarce, and a huge stone space was built to store the corpses.

At this moment, the suffocating and powerful aura just now had disappeared, indicating that a certain ancient corpse was likely to rise on its own for a moment, and then regained its quietness.

In fact, for some corpses, the corpse is a precursor to the transformation into a zombie on its own. It's just that...... A corpse that is so powerful that the aura that is unintentionally emitted during the corpse stage alone is if it really transforms into a zombie......

The consequences are really unimaginable!!

It's no wonder that as soon as Brother Long and this grandma saw me, they hurriedly took me into this grave of ten thousand corpses before they could say a lot of words. Obviously, one of these powerful ancient corpses may be about to transform into a zombie. Listening to Grandma's meaning, it should be that only the Dark Spirit King in the depths of my soul can suppress it.

It's just that now the Dark Spirit King has been in a state of sleep since he came out of the Goguryeo Barbarian City, what do Brother Long and Grandma want to do?

"Although I have been here many times to this Jin family's Ten Thousand Corpse Tomb, I have to sigh every time I come here. The ancestor of the Jin family is really powerful, and he can be called amazing. It was unexpectedly able to collect such a large number of powerful ancient corpses, and they were all sealed here. These corpses were extremely powerful during their lifetimes, and after death, the corpses did not decay and overflowed spiritual power on their own, and the nourishment of the Jin family through this place of yin and yang can be said to be generations, ensuring that there are powerful people in each generation. Brother Long sighed.

The grandmother smiled bitterly and said, "Since the first generation of the ancestors of the Jin family, no new ancient corpses have been added here. Ancestor He is indeed a rare genius in the world. It's a pity that he didn't leave any substantive instructions to future generations, just let us continue to expand the Ten Thousand Corpse Tomb. We don't even know where these terrifyingly powerful ancient corpses he placed at the bottom of this grave came from and what they do. These ancient corpses can only be kept for generations...... Now that the catastrophe is coming, these ancient corpses are no longer stable, and my wife is uneasy. ”

Brother Long, who has always been very arrogant, had a somewhat serious expression at this time, and said comfortingly: "Grandma don't worry too much, the so-called avenue is fifty, and Tianyan is forty-nine." And that silver lining, we don't necessarily fail. At least, Jiang Ming's kid is good, isn't it? ”

Listening to Brother Long's tone of voice, he seemed a little relieved. Grandma also looked at me with a smile and nodded slightly, showing a fairly satisfied look.

I felt like I was being watched by two smiling wolves. After a period of adaptation and reflection, I have come to accept that my existence is most likely motivated by some so-called "secret and sublime" purpose.

In fact, isn't everyone's existence manipulated by an invisible hand in the dark? This hand is called fate. Since my life is like this, then there is nothing to complain about. What's more, even if my existence is really some kind of purpose that Brother Long and Master have planned together. But at least, I can feel that their feelings for me are genuine, and that's enough.

We walked among these huge "tomb" buildings, and when we looked around, there was a dead silence. But I seem to be able to feel the introverted aura hidden inside the thick stone walls with the atmosphere of history, like a dormant beast. It makes people a little unconsciously vigilant and upside down.

Finally, Grandma and Brother Long stopped in front of a tomb-shaped building in the westernmost part of the grave at the bottom of the Ten Thousand Corpses. I knew I was going to be there. The ancient corpse that exuded an astonishing terrifying aura just now was also our target this time, and it was stored in the building in front of us.

I saw that this tomb-shaped building was about six meters high, and there was a tall stone tablet in each of its southeast, west, and northwest directions, with strange runes carved on it, and it was very likely that some kind of advanced formation was suppressing the ancient corpses in it, but I didn't feel any spell fluctuations, thinking that this formation had returned to its original form, and my realm was not enough.

All in all, all of these circumstances mean that this ancient corpse in this is more powerful than the others!

I don't know why, looking at this, I subconsciously felt a familiar feeling in my heart. It was as if I had been here before, which made me feel very weird.

"This is it, the last time I came here, Jiang Ming was not yet a year old. Jiang Tian, Hong Tianjun, and I brought him here to ask for your help. Brother Long looked ahead and seemed to be very emotional.

"yes, that's right. The years are unforgiving, and sixteen years have passed in a flash. The baby, who was so weak that he was about to die, has grown into a sturdy young man. Grandma also nodded and said.

Only then did I know why I had that inexplicable feeling of familiarity just now, because Brother Long had said before that I had been to this grave of ten thousand corpses. When he was young and weak and about to die, the three of them brought him here to ask the Jin family for help, probably because he had some connection with this tomb.

"Alright, let's go inside. You have to quiet it down as soon as possible, otherwise you'll ......" Grandma didn't finish speaking, but everyone knew what was going on.

I took a deep breath and followed Brother Long and Grandma into the tomb-shaped building guarded by four stone tablets.

When we entered, I was blown away by what we saw. I saw that this entrance was directly facing a tall three-story circular stone platform. On the surface of each layer of the platform, there are dense tadpole-like characters, which seem to be Xuanmen symbols, and seem to be some kind of ancient writing.

And on this platform, there was a thin old man's corpse!!

The corpse had weathered and turned into a dried corpse. The skin on the surface of the body has become a dry layer, clinging to the surface of the bone, as if a skeleton had been covered with a layer of skin. The ancient corpse's face no longer had obvious facial features, but there was still silver-white hair on his head, which dragged from the top of his head to the platform.

This means that after the death of this ancient corpse, his hair still continues to grow, which is why it is so long!

Around these three-tiered circular platforms, there is also a carving of mysterious and complex symbols like the four Gundam stone tablets in each of the four corners of the south, east, west, and northwest. From the top of these four stone tablets, a thick fine steel chain extended from each, which tied the wrists and ankles of the silver-haired corpse respectively, allowing him to maintain a standing posture on the platform, posing in a large font. The ancient corpse lowered its head, not like dead, but more like a bound sleeping person.

My pupils suddenly locked, and I was shocked as I could imagine.

This should obviously be a sealing formation, but such a tight seal is really very rare. And looking at the appearance of these iron chains, it is obvious that they were not built by the descendants of the Jin family. It is very likely that the first generation ancestor of the Jin family, who assisted a certain hero and Zhu Yuanzhang in the battle for the world, built it after storing these ancient corpses.

What does this mean?

It shows that when the ancestor of the Jin family was building this Ten Thousand Corpse Mound, he already had a premonition that this ancient corpse might have a more serious corpse transformation and change into a zombie! That's why there are such strict precautions, but what makes me more curious is the identity of this ancient corpse.

It's so powerful that it shouldn't be an ordinary character in life, right? It is very likely that it has also left a strong mark in the history of Xuanmen Taoism, but I don't know who it is.

In addition to the three-story circular platform in this tomb-shaped building and the stone tablet chain around it, on the left and right sides of the platform, sandwiched between the two stone tablets, there is also a bronze tripod each. Looking at the shape of these two big tripods, you can guess that this should be the Danding used by Taoists for alchemy. Does this mean that this ancient corpse is related to alchemy?

Maybe it's because I attach too much importance to my background and secrets, so I pay special attention to the tomb where this ancient corpse is located, which is closely related to me, and look at it very carefully. Within seconds of entering, I was able to take in all the sights in the air.

But when Brother Long and Grandma and I just wanted to make a move, and approached to observe the ancient corpse that was chained and forced to maintain a standing posture, a sudden change occurred!

Because the ancient corpse standing on the platform in front of us suddenly raised its head, which had been hanging down, and opened its eyes at the same time!!

That's right, it suddenly opened its eyes! There are even eyelids!

And in that eye socket, it is actually empty, giving people a sense of nothingness. But it was from this empty eye socket that two blood-red rays of light suddenly shot out.

These two blood-red rays of light shot straight at me with the aura of ancient spiritual power!

I was terrified on the spot, my body was stiff, I couldn't move at all, and I could only watch as two red lights rushed towards me in the eyes of this ancient corpse.

It's not that I'm stupid, it's because at this moment, I clearly felt a huge momentum rising from this ancient corpse, as if it was deliberately aimed at me, and instantly locked me. Under the pressure of this powerful aura, I wanted to move, but I couldn't move at all!

Brother Long next to him reacted extremely keenly, and the moment the ancient corpse opened his eyes, he had already moved. He shouted nervously that Jiang Ming was careful, and pushed me away.

I suddenly felt a powerful and gentle force that made me soar into the air and fly towards the other side of here, also dodging the two blood-red rays of light in the eyes of the ancient corpse.

After saying that, after these two red rays of light shot out, they didn't hit me, and they went straight to the back, shooting on the thick building wall with a bang. However, the walls of the tomb building flickered quickly and vaguely with a layer of dark green light, and between the green light flowing, there seemed to be a faint flash of large complex runes.

Seeing this scene appear, I was finally sure in my heart that there was indeed a powerful formation suppressing this place!

But just when I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief, the ancient corpse actually moved again, turned its head, and looked in my direction again, and two blood-red rays of light shot out of the empty eye sockets.

Oh my god!!

Is this ancient corpse a psychopath? I have no grievances with him, but as soon as I entered here, I was attacked by all kinds of crazy attacks. Even if you are in the zombie transformation period, you may soon turn into a real terrifying zombie, but it shouldn't be like this, right?

It shouldn't have been that I was already prepared this time, so when these two beams of blood-red light shot over, I still dodged more comfortably. The two rays of light struck the walls of the tomb building again, exploding, and at the same time a layer of green light and runes flickered, keeping the building from being destroyed.

However, the matter was not over yet, and the ancient corpse turned its head again and shot two beams of blood-red light at me.

Where the fuck is this corpse? It's obviously a living monster!

I was so bitter that I had to hide again. But at this time, grandma already had a movement in her hands. I saw that she suddenly raised the mysterious white bone cane in her hand, closed her eyes, hummed fast and vague syllables in her mouth, and actually danced a strange dance.

With the strange dance, the two Danding on both sides of this stage actually shook violently, and at the same time made a buzzing sound. And with this humming sound, there was also a soft dazzling white light, and the thick iron chains on the four stone tablets also began to shake violently, making a faint metal crashing sound, and black light began to circulate on the iron chains.

It seems to echo each other with the two bronze dandings, and the black and white light flows, which is precisely the meaning of yin and yang.

With the appearance of all these strange scenes, the ancient corpse with its wrists and ankles tied finally quieted down, gradually stopped moving, and its head gradually drooped, and finally stopped moving.

Grandma also stopped dancing, the white bone crutches in her hand fell on the ground, panting heavily, beads of sweat on her forehead, and she looked very tired.

Let such a powerful grandmother have such a tired posture, it is conceivable that the strange and mysterious dance just now must need extremely strong strength to support, which also indirectly shows that the strength of this ancient corpse is definitely very rare.

Brother Long walked over and stretched out his palm, and the martial arts qi and blood seemed to wrap his hands around two red flames, and gently pressed on his grandmother's back, as if to make her body more comfortable.

After a while, Grandma eased up, no longer so tired, and just sighed softly: "Alas, I'm old after all." It was so hard to even cast the seal that had been passed down from generation to generation. ”

Brother Long shook his head: "It's not all because of this, this ancient corpse is becoming more and more unstable. It can only be seen whether today can be completely sealed with Jiang Ming's help. At least nothing will happen until the catastrophe strikes. (To be continued.) )
