The final destination of the journey north is in a small village in the basin, and it seems to be a village inhabited by the mausoleum keepers.

Since ancient times, tomb robbers and tomb keepers have been mortal enemies, and the two sides have fought-for-tat and fought endlessly for their different beliefs and interests.

If we encounter a village with a mausoleum keeper here, it is best to avoid it from afar. I couldn't help but think to myself: it seems that the cave robbery is going to start from the woods, and it will take a lot of effort.

However, the small village at the foot of the mountain seems to look like a deserted village. I don't know where the sound of the gong I heard came from, and whether it has anything to do with the abandoned village below?

Either way, you have to go down the hill and go into the village to explore before you can make a plan.

The platform we were on was facing vertically downwards from the outside, and there was no way to go. But fortunately, there are a lot of green vines and shrubs, and you can climb the vines and trees and slowly climb to the bottom.

The steep rock wall was very smooth, so I had everyone tie a rope around their waist to avoid falling down.

My left hand was bitten by Zha Ling'er, and although the wound was almost recovered, it was somewhat inconvenient. Everyone climbed down neatly, and I was so tired and sweaty because of the inconvenience of my arms that I was the last to jump to the ground.

The small villages in the basin are surrounded by forests, and to reach the small villages in the basin, you need to walk through a very dense forest.

What I and Seventh Master Zha mean is to send someone to the village to investigate first, and if there is no one in the village, we will directly look for traces of the mausoleum in the village. If there are still people living in the village. So he started digging a hole in the forest as soon as possible, but it took a lot of effort and effort to do so. But anyway. There can be no dispute with the mausoleum keepers, which will lead to an armed fight. Tomb robbing has damaged yin morality. The lives of others must not be harmed again.

The matter of the visit fell on me and Zha Qiye, and Zha Ling'er shouted that she would go too, and I thought that bringing her would be a better way to hide people's eyes, so I agreed to go with her.

Before leaving, I secretly signaled Second Master Duan, hoping that he could make an unannounced visit to the village.

Second Master Duan immediately nodded happily and quietly disappeared into the woods. With Duan Erye's ability to see the beginning and not the end, I very much believe that he can find some unknown ways in the village.

I, Seventh Master and Zha Ling'er, I changed our disguises a little. Pretending to be a merchant buying mountain goods, he got out of the woods.

After approaching the village, I didn't hear the sound of chickens and dogs, and I didn't see the smoke of cooking, so I thought it was a deserted village with no people. However, he found that there were many people wandering in the streets and alleys of the village, but their eyes were out of focus, their expressions were wooden, and their faces were like ashes. He showed his face as if he were not alive.

In front of the entrance of the village, there is a half-human-high stone tablet with two seal characters "Dream Village" written on it, and I think this name is very interesting. I don't know if it's because people here love to dream that they took such a name. Bypassing the stone monument, we walked to the entrance of the village. He stopped and watched.

Zha Ling'er looked at the people wandering around in the village, and couldn't help but mutter, "It's really strange here." Why are the villagers wandering around the village in broad daylight, but they look very unhappy? It's weird. ”

At this moment, another old man with a wrinkled face passed in front of the three of us, as if no one was around.

Seeing this, Zha Ling'er wanted to reach out and hold the old man, but I immediately stopped her. Zha Ling'er looked at me very puzzled, and I immediately pointed to the ground behind the old man.

Zha Ling'er glanced down at the ground, and then still didn't know why, and looked up at me with a blank expression.

I immediately clung to her ear and whispered to her, "Shadow." ”

Only then did Zha Ling'er realize that there was no shadow behind the old man in the sunny moment, and she couldn't help but immediately open her mouth in horror.

How could a living person have no shadow, it can be seen that the old man in front of him is not a living person, and those people in the distance who are similar to the old man of the wandering soul should not be living people.

But how can a person who moves freely in the middle of the day not be a living person in the middle of the day? I clearly remember that there is a detailed record in the ancient book: "Zombies are afraid of light and cannot walk in the sun." However, why can these villagers, who look like dead wood zombies and have no shadows, move freely under the scorching sun? What are these non-human villagers who don't look corrupt or bad?

From this, I couldn't help but look at Seventh Master Zha suspiciously, his eyes were full of inquiring eyes, and I thought: Seventh Master Zha Seventh Master, a half-hung Taoist priest who occasionally bursts out of transcendent ability, may know what is going on with these villagers in front of me who are walking corpses and have no breath of life!

Seeing the way I asked him, Seventh Master was about to open his mouth to speak, but he saw the old man walking in front of us before, his face was wrinkled. Suddenly his nose twitched, he walked up to me, sniffed around us with his nose, and then suddenly stopped his head in front of my right arm. Immediately afterwards, I saw that the old man's eyes were suddenly bloodshot and turned into a scarlet and piercing color, and then he slowly opened his big mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, and was about to bite down on my arm.

I was so frightened that I hurriedly hid my arms behind my back, but the old man, who had been moving at a rapid pace, quickly turned behind me, and I immediately knew that he was following the smell of blood. hurriedly opened the backpack, took out an underwear, wrapped it tightly around his right hand, and wrapped all the injured places.

Without the smell of blood, the old man around me, his scarlet eyes gradually turned black, and the fangs in his mouth were gone, and then he began to move slowly towards the distance, mechanically. My old man walked away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. I thought: Fortunately, there is only sporadic blood on the bandage on the arm, if the wound is exposed, I don't know how many zombie villagers will be attracted.

I glanced at Seventh Master Cha, and the two of us immediately left the entrance of the village with Zha Ling'er without saying a word, and returned to the temporary camp in the woods. After sitting on the ground, I told the rest of my teammates in detail what I had seen and heard in the village. And the appearance of the old man before he met the blood, and the appearance of smelling the blood, was vividly demonstrated.

After listening to the description, everyone opened their mouths in shock, because they couldn't believe it for a while, and the director couldn't speak for a long time.

I glanced around the camp and found that Duan Erye had not returned, and it was estimated that he was still visiting, and he would be back in the evening.

The labyrinth-like dream village must have been deliberately designed by someone to form an anti-theft measure. And there are zombie villagers in the village to guard, and now it can be very certain that those Mengzhuang villagers are the guardians of the tomb left here. But for some reason, all of them became living dead people who could walk in the daytime, and I don't know if they suffered a catastrophe or did it on purpose. If it is deliberate, someone has changed them to what they are now, in order to be able to protect the mausoleum from tomb robbers.

These mausoleum keepers of the living dead seem to be bloodthirsty, and they are usually just walking corpses like dead wood, but when they smell blood, they will suddenly mutate and turn into extremely fierce zombie zongzi.

Seventh Master explained to everyone the questions that were blocked in everyone's hearts, "In ancient times, some brutal emperors and generals would spend a lot of money to hire some warlocks who knew evil magic and witchcraft, and used secret methods to directly turn living people into zombies, so that they could move freely during the day, and they were bloodthirsty. While turning living people into zombies, give them an order, such as to stick to something, or someone. The zombies of the living dead, who have been infused with evil magic mysteries, will unswervingly protect their mission until death. I think these villagers are the living dead who have been ordered to guard the mausoleum. ”

Since Seventh Master Zha gave a conclusive conclusion, I asked him: "Seventh Master, since you know that these villagers are the living dead and guarding the tomb, do you have any way to deal with them?" ”

When Seventh Master Zha heard my question, he immediately shook his head and explained to me: "I only practice authentic Taoism, and I don't know anything about evil demon arts, so you might as well ask Brother Yannan, he is the successor of Zhu Youshu, and he should know something." ”

Yan Nan is the descendant of Yunnan Zhu Youshu Dianpo, proficient in witch doctors, learned good martial arts, and has extraordinary skills. However, he did not understand witchcraft and Taoism. The smoke man had a sworn brother before, and he knew a lot about witchcraft, but unfortunately he is no longer alive.

Since he couldn't think of a way to deal with the living dead and the mausoleum keepers, he had to ignore them and avoid their actions.

So, I told everyone about this idea, saying, "I think that the living dead in a small village can only change when they smell blood, and they are usually just like moving trees, and there is no threat. Why don't we sneak inside and quietly look for the entrance to the mausoleum, there shouldn't be any difference. ”

Although most people agreed, Zha Qiye was opposed, saying: "Don't just look at the appearance of anything. They are as quiet as trees during the day, and who knows what they look like at night, if they still maintain this seemingly harmless appearance? ”

I immediately felt that Jiang was still old and spicy, and Seventh Master Zha was very thoughtful, so I immediately told everyone not to act rashly, and to discuss it after Duan Erye, who went to secretly explore the wind, came back.

As a result, he waited and waited, and when the moon came out to show his face, Duan Erye still didn't come back.

For Duan Erye who has not returned, I don't say that I am worried, those who guard the tomb of the living dead can't deal with Duan Erye, who has a very low sense of storage and is almost equivalent to a transparent person, he must have been delayed because of some sudden incident.

But now we can't afford to delay here, so I immediately changed into tight-fitting and convenient clothes with the smoke man and the night owl who had very good night vision, and wanted to visit the village of the mausoleum keeper again at night.

The three of us set off immediately, quietly came to the entrance of the village, and immediately dodged behind the house closest to the entrance of the village, looking into the village.

As a result, this look made all three of us gasp. (To be continued......)
