"Corpse Ground? Listening to the name, it seems that this is a place dedicated to raising zombies? I asked him in a whisper. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Dong said: "That's what it means, the corpse raising ground is the most terrifying, dangerous and taboo cemetery in funeral feng shui. After the body is buried in the "corpse raising ground", the human muscles and internal organs will not only not decay, but also hair, teeth, and nails will continue to grow. Because the corpse takes the light of the sun and the moon, absorbs the essence of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, and some of its body functions are restored to life, just like the dead will turn into zombies. ”

I asked with some skepticism, "But this is underground, how can the corpse absorb the essence of the sun and the moon?" ”

Li Dong said: "It stands to reason that there will be no zombies in a dry land like Lop Nur, and if there is, it will only be dried corpses." The place where the corpse is raised must be in a cold place, where the cold air is heavier, and there is running water nearby, which can ensure that the air is moist, and the ventilation here is good, so that the corpse will not rot. As for how to absorb the light of the sun and the moon, I don't know this, I believe there must be other arrangements. In short, where zombies are formed, it must be a place to raise corpses. ”

I thought of a possibility, so I asked him, "Then you say, is it possible that this zombie was caught from somewhere else?" ”

Li Dong shook his head and said: "I just observed carefully, this zombie has been locked here in chains for a long time, if it wasn't for the corpse breeding place here, then it would have rotted a long time ago." Zombies cannot be stored in a normal environment for a long time, and this thing is extremely demanding on the environment. ”

I couldn't help asking, "Since this zombie was raised here, it will definitely be of any use, let's go ahead and see if there is anything else." ”

Li Dong agreed, and we carefully stepped over the square exit and continued to walk forward, with the sound of chains shaking behind us.

Sure enough, I didn't go far, and a square vent appeared under our feet, and there was still a humanoid object lying flat underneath, so I didn't stop and continued to move forward.

Subsequently, we found more than a dozen stone chambers with zombies in this passage, and each stone chamber had a vent, and I suddenly had a thought, turned to Li Dong and said, "I have a feeling that we seem to be in a ventilation duct." ”

Li Dong was slightly stunned, and then said: "Don't you say that I haven't thought about it in this way, this place is indeed a bit like a ventilation pipe, if this is true, then there must be an incomparably huge underground building complex below." ”

After walking a few dozen meters, there was an intersection in front of me, and I found nothing here, so I took out my lighter, and the flames were still blown to the right by the wind.

At the first intersection, we didn't go to the right because we noticed an unusual smell, but this time there was no other abnormality, so we followed the guidance of the flames and walked to the right side of the passage.

The passage seemed to be a little wider, and as I walked, I thought, if this is a ventilation duct, is the wind blowing outwards or inwards?

This is an unsolvable guess, and the answer can only be known at the end. There was no stone chamber at the foot of this passage, and we went all the way until we finally found another crossing, where we were almost certain that if we kept going to the right, we would circle here, and it was a grid-like passage that extended in all directions.

The wind was still blowing forward, so we chose to go straight and find out where it was going.

When we reached the next intersection, we found the vent again, this is not a small stone chamber below, through the railing of the square vent, we can see that the space below is very large, the ground is at least ten meters high from our position, and there is no wall around.

Directly under the vent, there is a dome-shaped object, about two meters high, and there is a statue in each of the four directions around the giant tripod, which is seven or eight meters away from the giant tripod. Since we didn't dare to turn on the lights, we could only see the general shape and couldn't tell what it was.

The vents were too small in size, and there were many railings, because the view was blocked, and it was difficult to see from further afield. It was quiet down there, and there was no light, not even the vents showing any air flow.

I was just about to cross this place and continue on my way when a sudden puff of heat blew from the entrance of the passage, and then I heard a faint sound of footsteps below.

Li Dong pulled me to take a step back, and as the footsteps approached, the entrance of the passage also lit up with a dim yellow light, and when I saw a light, I took off the thermal imaging camera and looked down.

The first thing I saw was a torch, and the person holding the torch was wearing a black robe, and in this dark underground space, this person actually wore the hat on the robe, like those foreign monks, but his face could not be seen clearly from the top down.

The black-robed man carried a wooden box in his other hand, which looked a bit like the food box used by ancient people to deliver meals. He walked over to Juding and stopped, placing the box-like wooden box on the ground.

After this, the black-robed man seemed to sense something, turned his head to look around, and then looked up sharply.

I was taken aback by his sudden move, and quickly dodged and shrank back, and Li Dong also flashed to the side at the right time.

The moment the man looked up, I saw a bloodless face, and a pair of red eyes that looked particularly terrifying in the light of the torches. I was almost completely holding my breath at this point, and I didn't dare to gasp. For some reason, I felt an extremely manic energy from this person, and even if I was more than ten meters away from him, I would not feel a little safe.

I subconsciously thought that this person could attack our location at any time, this was a fatal sense of crisis, and a trace of sweat had oozed from the palm of the hand holding the Tiangang sword.

While I was still worried about being discovered, there was a sound of metal grinding below, followed by "Bang! With a bang, it seemed that something heavy metal had hit the ground.

My unquenchable curiosity prompted me to look down again, and suddenly I felt a heat wave rushing towards me, and this heat wave was mixed with a strong smell of medicinal herbs. The man didn't notice us and was still doing his own thing. I quickly looked around, and the black-robed man had stuck the torch on the ground, and the lid of the giant dome had been removed and thrown aside.

There seemed to be heat rising from the giant ding, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

The black-robed man squatted on the ground at this moment, gently opened the wooden box, and carefully took out a large bowl from inside, which contained a black liquid. He slowly lifted the bowl above his head and poured the liquid into the bowl little by little.

He lifted the lid from the ground and re-cloned the giant ding, and when he had done that, he took out a few more things from the wooden box, the size of a fist and a swarthy appearance.

These coal-like things were put under the giant dome by him, and then he pulled out the torch and stretched the flames under the giant dome.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a red light erupted under the giant ding, illuminating the entire space red, and this red light was still beating brightly and darkly.

The black-robed man stood still and observed for a moment, then turned back to the way he came, and finally heard only a slight sound of the door closing, and everything fell silent again, except for the flickering red light on his face.

After a while, Li Dong moved next to me and whispered, "Have you noticed that this giant ding seems to be a Dan furnace?" ”

Dan Furnace!! That's right, I said how it looks a little awkward, it turns out that this is not an ordinary tripod at all. I suddenly remembered the smell of medicinal herbs I smelled just now, as well as these strange behaviors of the black-robed man, all of which indicated that it was very likely that there was an alchemy room below, but I didn't know what this person was refining.

I checked the railing of the vent again, and found that they were all arm-thick iron rods, and I didn't know if the Tiangang Sword could be cut off, Li Dong whispered: "It's better not to go to the lower floor first, it's better to find Ansaari." ”

As soon as I thought about it, I didn't study any more methods, mainly because I felt that the black-robed man was not easy to deal with. The wind was still blowing forward, and we continued along the passage until we passed another intersection, where there were no more vents, but the wind was getting stronger, and the wind at the junction was sometimes whistling.

This time it was different, the wind was blowing towards the left channel, and you didn't even need a lighter to determine the direction of the wind.

As we walked along the wind, we silently remembered the path we had walked, and the road ahead was suddenly a little different, as if there was a wall blocking the way, and it was like a bend in the passage, but we had never encountered a curve before, and it was all an intersection.

When we got closer, we realized that this was not a detour or an intersection at all, and we had reached the end of the passage.

The wind is still hunting, but the direction of the wind is upward. There was a big hole above our heads, and it was pitch black, and all the moving air was coming from here.

This situation is a bit unexpected, I don't know where this leads from above, Li Dong and I don't know what to do, whether to go back and continue to look for another way, or to go up from here to check, but we all have our own opinions.

I was going to go up and have a look, but Li Dong thought that I should continue to explore the passage, after all, Ansari was still in the passage, but I didn't know where he was at the moment.

And at this moment, a dazzling bright light shone down from above, revealing Li Dong and me!
