Chapter 532: The Corpse Keeper
Zhou Yuefeng and the others understood that everything that happened before was true, and the reason why they felt that it was an illusion was that the old man was playing tricks, probably trying to hide some ulterior secrets. So after discussing it, the brothers decided to go back and see what happened.
As before, they walked a short distance towards the bright place, and returned to the house full of corpses, and the old man still spoke strangely and did not pay much attention to them. Just when the old man entered the house, Zhou Yuefeng suddenly found that there was a hidden door behind many corpses, and he immediately gave the horse monkey a look, and the horse monkey would enter the house and entangle the old man.
The brothers know the ability of horses and monkeys to entangle people, and no one can resist his faceless appearance. The other brothers saw the horse monkey entering, and immediately came to Zhou Yuefeng, Cui Fatzi asked, "Brother Feng, what did you find?" Zhou Yuefeng pointed to the door, and then slowly opened the corpses piled together, and the door inside was revealed.
Cui Fatzi said: "This house is really evil, it looks like a simple one from the outside, how can there be a door here?" They didn't have time to think about it, and immediately reached out and pushed the door open. Unexpectedly, the scene in front of them made everyone's eyes wide in surprise and opened their mouths.
The furnishings and layout of this house are completely different from the morgue outside, like an ancestral hall, and the inside is densely packed with tablets, which are made of wood, and arranged up and down, it can be seen that they are arranged according to generations, and at the same time there is a large incense burner in front of these tablets, and the incense in the incense burner is still burning, and there are white candles on both sides, which looks very uncomfortable.
Zhou Yuefeng has never seen any battles, and finding some clues at this time is the key, and he can't care about the weird atmosphere here, so he came directly to the front of those tablets, and carefully studied these tablets. There is not much wrong with these tablets, they are the ancestral halls set up by normal people to commemorate their ancestors, but the name on the tablets gives Zhou Yuefeng a very strange feeling, but he can't tell where the specific strangeness is.
They had limited time, and the other brothers had already scattered around the house, looking for other clues, but they couldn't find anything for a long time. At this time, a plaque in the room attracted Zhou Yuefeng's attention, he slowly walked inside, and then looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the innermost beam, although the plaque looked like it had gone through hundreds of thousands of years, it was still spotless, and it could be seen that someone had been cleaning it.
Zhou Yuefeng carefully identified the handwriting on the plaque, and found that there were three simple words written on it, "Corpse Keeper", those words met Zhou Yuefeng's eyes, making him feel as if he was dripping blood, this corpse keeper has long been no one to do, but he didn't expect that there was still someone here.
Just when he was surprised by this, he suddenly heard the horse monkey outside shouting: "Uncle, what are you doing here?" Stop it! Zhou Yuefeng and the others hurriedly ran out of the house. The old man had already found them in his inner room, and he was very angry and chased them with a stick.
Everyone was chased far away by the old man, and finally the old man couldn't run anymore, standing in place and panting, Zhou Yuefeng was fine, since he was reborn in Yu Yuan, his body seemed to be replaced, he stood there and looked at the old man, and suddenly felt that this old man was not easy, so he said: "Uncle, don't chase us, we won't tell your secret." ”
The old man propped his legs on his legs with his two hands, and said breathlessly, "What secret do I have?" Besides, you little rabbit cubs are already dying, I'm afraid you will say anything, but the inner room of my house is absolutely not allowed to let people in, I am afraid that you will damage the things of your ancestors. ”
Cui Fatzi was not happy when he heard it: "What are you shouting nonsense about this old man?" What do you mean by someone who is dying? You're so old, and if you want to die, you'll die first. Zhou Yuefeng immediately pulled Cui Fatzi and whispered: "Don't say anything, it's too heavy." Cui Fatzi also felt that he was indeed too angry just now, so his words were a little offensive.
But the old man didn't seem to care, and said: "Don't say it, my old man has done a lot of things to send black-haired people, and among the young men in my house, there are a few who are not my old man watching them jump in alive, but the corpses are still put away by my old man." After saying that, he was indeed tired, and sat down on the ground with a puff, and then took out a dry tobacco from his back and smoked it.
Seeing the appearance of this old man, the first thing that came to Zhou Yuefeng's mind was Uncle Quan, and he said to the horse monkey: "I don't know how Uncle Quan and Liu Xi are doing." Then he relieved himself and said, "Uncle, to tell you the truth, we do want to go into the depths of the Xianti Mountain to find something, but don't worry, we will definitely come out alive." ”
The old man sneered while smoking: "Tell you this baby, no one in my house thought that he would die, you ask which of them was not full of confidence when they went in, but what happened in the end?" It's not that you died in front of my old man, you guys, it's the same fate! ”
Zhou Yuefeng thought for a while and said, "Uncle, no matter what our fate is, but what I want to know is, how many people are there in the corpse keeper now?" Is this profession still being passed on? As soon as the old man heard Zhou Yuefeng talk about the corpse keeper, he immediately became alert to him and asked, "How do you kid know about this inheritance?" Did you see it in my inner room, or did you kid already know about this inheritance? Who are you? ”
Seeing that the old man was a little excited, the horse monkey said in a sneering voice: "Old man, you don't have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, this is the inheritance of the Netherworld Attractor, my brother Feng is the twenty-seventh generation of the heir, how about it?" Have you ever heard of the Netherlands? After speaking, he didn't forget to put his arm on Zhou Yuefeng's shoulder to show intimacy.
Unexpectedly, the horse monkey's words, which were originally soothing, really played a role, and the old man heard the horse monkey's words, his face immediately changed, and said: "It turned out to be the Netherworld Attractor, it seems that the mystery here is about to be solved, and my task will be completed." After saying that, he laughed a few times, and the laughter was terrifying, but there was a kind of relief and relief in it.
Brothers, look at me, I'll look at you, no one knows what this old man is going to be crazy about, Cui Fat pulled the corner of Zhou Yuefeng's clothes: "Brother Feng, do you recognize this old thing?" How could he react this way when he heard the Nether Channeler? Is this evil? ”
Unexpectedly, the old man immediately stopped laughing when he heard Cui Fatzi's words, and said, "You kid is crazy." Then he paused slightly and said to Zhou Yuefeng: "Hurry up and go back with me, I have something to explain to you." With that, he got up from the ground and slowly walked towards his dilapidated house. This old man is already yin and yang, and now it is even more incomprehensible.
Qin Yalong said: "Young Master Feng, I think it's better for us to be careful, I always feel that this old man is not a human at all, every time he passes by me, I can feel a cold air. ”
Zhou Yuefeng didn't say anything, but said to his brothers: "Let's go, let's take a look first, this old man is a human, I can feel it, and he is definitely not simple." When the brothers heard this, they hurried to follow, and then went into the house where the old man lived, for the old man had gone in first, and he had prepared his things when they went in.
I saw him sitting at a table with a piece of paper on the seat that looked like a piece of parchment. When the old man saw the twelve of them coming in, he immediately said, "Come, boy, and I will tell you alone." The others looked at the old man and said, "Cut, we haven't listened yet." So saying, the brothers went out of the room and went outside to rest.
Zhou Yuefeng walked up to the old man and asked, "Senior, what do you have to say to me?" The old man said, "I know that your boy is a person who knows etiquette, so sit down quickly, and you can look at this thing first, and see if you can see any fame." As he spoke, he handed the piece of paper made of unknown skin on the table to Zhou Yuefeng.
Seeing that piece of paper, Zhou Yuefeng suddenly remembered the keel he had encountered in the broken temple, and said, "Uncle, how does this pattern seem to be a divine beast hovering and crawling on this mountain?" Could it be that this thing really exists, and that's too big, right? Could it be that there really is a real dragon in this world? But even if there were, I didn't find the dragon's claws. ”
The old man listened to Zhou Yuefeng's words, stroked the beard on his chin with satisfaction and said: "Sure enough, I can see the name at a glance, let me tell you, this is a divine beast, and it is a kind of monster that has long disappeared, called hooked snakes, but they are not really dead, but exist on this Xianti Mountain." ”
Zhou Yuefeng had suspected that the thing on this mountain was a hooked snake before, but now it was confirmed, and then said: "Uncle, do you know how big this hooked snake is?" Could it be that it really looks like this picture? If it's so big, I'm afraid the brothers will be more than lucky this time. ”
The old man shook his head and said, "No, you don't have to worry about this, you can take a closer look." Zhou Yuefeng didn't know what the old man else asked him to see, but let him see it, he leaned down on the table again and looked at it carefully and said, "This ...... Could it be that this is a map? The old man laughed: "You kid is really sharp-eyed, worthy of being a descendant of the Netherworld Attractor, this is a map, and it is the only map in Xianti Mountain." ”
